Kyuden Shika

She turned as red as her hakama. The Kaito slightly pushed herself to avoid more embarrassing blushes. "Keep this and my cheeks will never pale."

"Well, I can't complain about that since you look good in red," he replies, pulling her close to his chest, kissing the top of her head.

"Bakka" as she nuzzled to his chest. "Taiko sama... tell him not to make this one blush."

He chuckled at that. "He wandered off in a different direction when we gave Ishi and Ino privacy. He probably thought we could use some too. But I'll remember to give him your note."

"Oh really." Bai giggled. "I hope he doesn't get lost. There are a lots of strange people in this place." The Kaito continued to giggle.

"I imagine that he has come to feel as uncomfortable around us as his glad I met you. He told me that you would be a good influence," he says. "Just worries that I'll be a bad one."

"Huh? This one brings the trickster out in you how is that good influence?" Bai looked at him puzzled.

"Because you also give me focus. He said that he has never seen me as attentive as when I am by your side. He's just trying to figure out how he can use that to get me to focus on training." He smiled at that.

"You are attentive because you are looking for your next victim on who to pull your tricks on them." The Kaito chuckled. "That victim seems to be this one most of the time."

"Such tricks are just further proof of my devotion to you. Anytime you are smiling or blushing for me, my heart is soaring," he replied.
