"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."

-Dalai Lama

Why he had let everyone drag him into this was beyond him. A 'simple' get together is what they called it. They even had gotten Pai out here, unbelievable. It was bitter cold in the enormous elliptical shaped room. Giggles of children and the smell of hot chocolate overwhelmed his senses.

Dark green hair hung around his face as he finished tying the stupid laces on the ice skates. Kish had never even heard of an 'ice rink'. Pai had explained their purpose before they had left the ship, but he hadn't really listened to the older alien.

"Kish! Move it! Slow poke!"

Ichigo called out to him as she entered the huge ice rink before him, clinging to Masaya. Kish cursed under his breath as he wobbled towards the doorway. He was the last one to get out there on the ice, and he wasn't pleased with the result.

The alien clung to the cold metal doorframe as he glared out at the others. Ichigo was no longer paying attention to him being too preoccupied with her dumb boyfriend. Purin was racing Tart around the rink, Keiichiro and Ryou were getting hot chocolate and not in the rink at all. A curse escaped his lips as he gingerly stepped out onto the frozen ground. It was crisp under the blades of his skates as he slowly began sliding out onto the ice. Kish clenched his teeth and wobbled about as he slid. Lettuce shot a concerned glance his way as she skated slowly alongside Zakuro and Pai. The oldest alien shook his head at the ludicrous sight of Kish wobbling around like an idiot. Kish was thankful that Mint wasn't here to see him, she would surely have some annoying comment to make about him.

Why was this so hard?

"Son of- a bitch!"

Kish snarled as he almost fell over, barley catching himself before falling. Zakuro tried to fight the smile that was creeping onto her face, he looked ridiculous. His arms flailed around as he slowly began moving forward. The wolf mew kept an eye on him as they passed the unstable alien.

Bright amber eyes glared at the trio that passed him, a noise startled him as it rushed passed. Tart and Purin practically knocked him down as they raced some other kid at the rink. Various people passed him, giggles and whispers only angering the alien further. Kish clenched his fists and started moving forward at a slightly quicker pace. He had his eyes narrowed onto the trio that had passed him earlier. He knew Pai had probably said some snarky comment about his lack luster ability to skate.

The young alien rushed forward, beginning to move towards them rapidly. He bumped into a young couple and scoffed at them as he passed by. Kish had a mischievous smile on his face as he rushed towards the trio, his arms began flailing to the right. Pai was in the middle of the two girls, skating casually. Kish felt his weight rock backwards, sending a jolt of nervous energy up his spine.

The alien tried to lean forward, but it was too late, he slipped back onto the ice. His rear landed hard and he ended up on his back as he slid into a body. Pai leaned away as Zakuro toppled backwards onto Kish. The alien had slid into the back of the wolf mew's legs and sent her toppling over, right onto him. Wrong target.

Zakuro barely yelped and struggled as the two slowly slid to a halt. The dull blade of his right skate snagged her leggings on her left leg. She groaned and leaned around, trying to get off the alien. Kish felt like an idiot, his face began to feel hot. Her rear was planted right on his waist, and her upper body leaned on his right shoulder. Her dark violet hair covered his neck and front side.

"Damn Kish…"

She seethed, moving her body weight off to his right side. Kish sat completely still as the girl's toned body slid off of his, and she knelt beside him. Zakuro moved her hair out of her face as the alien sat completely still. He knew she'd be pissed, he hadn't meant to hit her. Kish opened his mouth to speak as he stared at her expressionless face, but no words formed.

Dark amethyst eyes looked down at the ice as she brushed off the ice shards on her skirt. He leaned forward just a bit, feeling like an idiot,

"S-sorry Zakuro, I meant to hit Pai, I'm-"

Pai and Lettuce appeared beside Zakuro, both pairs of eyes looking down at them. Kish trailed off as he stared up at them. Lettuce covered her mouth and stared down at the violet haired girl.

"Zakuro-san! Are you all right!"

The oldest mew nodded and glanced at Kish briefly as Pai helped her up to her feet. Kish sat up and moved his hair out of his eyes, looking up at her. He still felt stupid. She would probably be really pissed off and snap at him any moment now.

Kish practically stopped breathing when a hand was hesitantly held out to him. Zakuro hesitated in reaching out to the alien, it was just an accident though. The girl's slender hand sat poised in front of his face for a few moments before he cautiously took her hand and struggled to his feet.

"I'm fine Lettuce, thank you."

Zakuro said calmly, looking at the bewildered alien. Kish allowed a cheesy smile to appear on his face and he nodded at her,

"Thanks."

Pai rolled his eyes at the young alien and slowly made his way around the two and away from them. He didn't care to see Kish make an even bigger fool of himself. Lettuce smiled at them,

"So glad you're all right. That looked like a bad fall."

Zakuro shrugged and smiled haphazardly back at the green haired mew,

"It really wasn't that bad."

Kish felt intrigued, and immediately began overanalyzing what the wolf girl had said. She didn't mind him knocking her over?

He straightened up once more as she turned back to him,

"Why don't you skate with Lettuce and I? So you don't fall into anyone we don't know."

It was like she deflated his ego in one fell swoop, the alien felt embarrassed yet again. He shrugged and shifted awkwardly,

"Sure, I guess…"

The alien felt his face grow a bit warm as the wolf girl grabbed his forearm and pulled him alongside her. The green haired mew chuckled at the baffled alien and skated alongside them. Zakuro felt like she was pulling around a child, he was such a childish alien. The girl found herself slightly smiling as she pulled him alongside her awkwardly.

Kish glanced around anxiously, like he was doing something wrong and everyone would be looking at him. The alien skated alongside her quietly, wobbling a bit here and there. Zakuro casually talked with Lettuce about their plans afterward, but Kish wasn't listening.

Kish felt like he was being dragged around, like he was incapable of doing it himself. People kept glancing at him with confused stares, he shook his head and looked away. The girl looked over at him as he shifted away from her slightly,

"This is dumb, it looks like you're dragging me around like a damn kid. Here-"

The alien yanked his arm away from the girl, making her eyes grow a bit wide. Kish then grabbed her hand and held it down by his side, looking away from her. Zakuro felt amused by his actions, he seemed very embarrassed by it. Lettuce cooed and looked away, covering her mouth to stifle a giggle.

The wolf girl felt her cheeks grow warm, she hadn't held hands with anyone in a long time. She failed to notice the bright aqua eyes locked on her and the alien.

Ryou shook his head and nearly spit out his hot chocolate, pointing at the two.

"Keiichiro, am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?"

The brunette beside Ryou chuckled and took a sip of his hot chocolate,

"Looks like it. She's probably just helping him, he was stumbling around and knocking into people earlier. It's for the best."

Kish couldn't look at the girl, but kept pulling at her hand to keep himself stable. Her thin hand was warm in his, and was soft to the touch. Zakuro looked over at him as he avoided her stare,

"Kish?"

The alien whirled toward her, as if he didn't know she was there. Their eyes met just for a moment before the alien began falling back, his skates slid out forwards. Before he fell, the wolf mew turned and seized his black coat in her small fists, yanking him forward towards her.

Kish stumbled forward and then got his bearings and stood in front of the girl. Zakuro held his coat as he quivered, standing erect before her. The violet haired girl couldn't help but allow a small smile to appear on her face, he was quite entertaining on the ice.

Their eyes locked for a few quiet moments, the alien felt increasingly uncomfortable. He had spent so much time chasing Ichigo, he hadn't actually stopped to look at or meet the other girls. He and Zakuro had almost teamed up in the passed, but he didn't really get to know her, nor take a good hard look at her. She was stunning. No wonder she was famous and got so much attention among humans.

His mouth slowly hung open as he stared at her, their eyes at about equal height. She was just as tall as him, it felt strange, but he still sort of liked it. Their intimate moment was interrupted by the giddy shrill of the youngest mew. Purin rushed towards them with an evil smile on her face,

"My turn to bowl you over na no da!"

Zakuro and Kish both whirled around to see the imminent collision approaching. Purin's hands reached out towards them as she slid right up to them. Zakuro shook her head and turned to get away, but it was too late.
