Kaidoh's eyes widened as a delicate hand settled on his chest, allowing her to better balance on her toes as she kissed him. Heat seemed to radiate outward from the spot her lips met his cheek, his palms sweating slightly. Unsure of what to do, but certain he should do something, he settled the hand not held in hers on her hip as the blush flared then began to fade. He stood there, immobile, until Momo rounded the corner and froze at what he saw there.

"What's this, Mamushi? Paying girls to kiss you now?" Momo smirked, trying to recover his lost composure.

"Fssshhhh…" Kaidoh fixed him with a glare, somewhat ruined by the blush still staining his cheeks, accentuated by the green of his bandana. The girl fell back to the soles of her feet, the movement making Kaidoh hyper aware of her once again. She smiled at him and squeezed his hand lightly.

"I'll see you after practice, Kaoru-kun," she said softly, a hint of rose in her cheeks as well. Kaidoh's fierce look immediately softened as she stepped away, their fingers reluctant to part, then she turned and began walking, and Kaidoh did the same. He closed his eyes and resumed his customary frown as he strode past Momo, who seemed to be at a loss for words. He made it halfway to the court before a loud yell came from the direction of the shed.

"Oi, everyone! Mamushi's got a girlfriend!"

Kaidoh stopped walking and his eyes flew open as everyone's eyes locked on him, and the red that had nearly left his cheeks came back in full force. So much for a peaceful practice, if one ever existed.
