Ch7. Dance Lessons: Drifting Downward

The Next Day..

"We aren't helping him Zakuro, every time we teach him a dance something wrong happens!" Retsu panicked.

"Who cares..he won't win her over...Ichigo's not that stupid." Zakuro replied tonelessly.

"Have a heart Zakie, he's trying his hardest to make Ichigo like him." Purin retorted.

"She's right..we know Kish is the enemy and I'm not too fond of him either, but he's pretty determined. to try and spark Ichigo's interest without fighting her." Minto answered sipping her tea.

"Who's trying to spark my interest?" Ichigo asked, suddenly the four girls froze.

"Uh...Masaya na no da! He wants to stop fighting his emotions and uh..ask you out!" Purin stammered.

"Oh Mayasa...AAAAAAH!" Ichigo sighed as hearts appeared in her eyes and continued sweeping out of the room. Purin and the others sighed in relief.

"That was a close one..." Retsu said. "Uh oh..better get back to work! Ryou's coming."

"Right." Purin and the others answered.

That night...

"I don't mind learning these jazz moves and tap dances, but I'm trying to impress Ichigo, not play in a Broadway musical." Kish said sadly, giving back Zakuro her tap shoes, as his ears sagged down like a disappointed puppy.

"You're doing well, maybe we should try some hip hop first." Zakuro suggested quickly and went towards the CD player and popped in a disk.

"Isn't that what Purin taught me? I can't stand banging my head into a wall again." Kish hesitated.

"That's Purin's interpretation, she's not really a hip hop dancer." Zakuro informed him.

"HEY, I HEARD THAT!" Purin shouted.

"I'm just saying Hip Hop isn't just bouncing off the walls. It's like yoga or meditation." Zakuro commented, and struck a pose when the music started to play. "Watch and Learn."

Kish couldn't believe how good Zakuro danced, it seemed like she was floating in mid air. He and the girls marvelled and clapped as Zakuro finished in a bow.

"Now it's your turn..let your mind flow free and your feet will follow." Zakuro stated, but Kish shook his head.

"You're so graceful and light, I can't get to that level in just a few days. I'll never be a dancer, and I'll never get Ichigo to like me one little bit!" Kish cried, Retsu put a sympathetic hand on his shoulder. "Never mind!"

"So this is what you mews were doing?" Ryou's voice called. "Helping Kish with his Ichigo issues."

"We're sorry...Kish just wants to learn how to dance that's all." Minto said.

"We aren't trying to join his gang and conquer the world either.." Purin defended.

"KISH you revolting piece of mutant DNA! Come to this cafe once more tomorrow night and I'LL...teach you." Ryou said.

"HUH!"
