Mew Chi: YAY!!! Chapter 2 is up!

Ichigo: That last chapter was depressing, and what is up with the new name again!!

Mew Chi: This is my nick name, the last one was too long, and so I will just put Mew Chi.

Ichigo: 0.o Doesn't Chi mean blood. You are a weird person.

Mew Chi: Yes I am, now on to the story.

Once at home Ichigo took off her coat and put it on a hook. Her parents were gone on business and would be gone for the first week of winter break. Ichigo dried her hair off since it was wet from the snow that landed on her head. She went and sat on her couch wrapped up in a blanket. Outside the window white flakes of snow fell gently, and the fire in the fireplace crackled and wisped. She sighed, as she tried to think of happier things. It would be Christmas soon, which was one thing that lightened her spirits. She closed her eyes and drifted in to a light cat nap.

Nightmares of that day again played in her sleep. She could never do anything without being haunted by it. However despite all this Ichigo had a hard time believing that there never was a Masaya that he was just made up…just so Deep Blue could hurt her.

She was awoken from her light sleep by a tapping on her living room window. She saw a certain green haired alien standing…um hovering outside. It made her cheer up from her dreary thoughts. She had not seen Kish since she had visited the alley again, and she had mistaken him for Masaya. She opened the window.

He greeted her with a smile. "How are you feeling?" he asked.

She smiled back at him, her face slightly pink. She was kind of embarrassed at how he had cared for her so much. "I'm fine, but I should be asking you, after what Deep Blue did to you when you…"her voice faded "protected me" she finished, she was feeling very guilty now, since Kish had gotten hurt trying to protect her.

"Wow, he saved me when he took me to the hospital, and he fought to protect Me. " she thought. (A/N: in my stories I make Kish seem much more sensitive, I don't know why.)

Noticing the guilt in her voice he softened his gaze "I'm fine, don't worry." He said. (A/N: I'm a very sappy person, and I put a lot of dialogue in, sorry, I won't interrupt anymore) "And I don't know what I'd do if you were hurt."

Ichigo was blushing madly now. She honestly did look like a strawberry.

"Cause you're my koneko-chan" he said with that faint smirk on his face. His golden eyes burned with passion. It was also intimidating in a way.

"May I come in" he asked. "

No wonder" Ichigo thought "he's barely wearing anything it's snowing."

She let him in through the window. Despite their relationship(which Ichigo did not know whether if it was a friendship or something more, she is a little naïve when it comes to that after all)she found it weird for him to be in her house. She almost wanted to transform as if to protect herself.

He sat down on the floor near the fire. "So this is what the rest of your house looks like." he said.

"Um...Yeah" she said quickly.

He patted the place on the floor next to him, asking her to sit down. She walked over slowly and sat down. Her face was still red. All of a sudden Kish 's hand was on her forehead. "Ichigo, are you alright, do you have a fever, you're all red."

This only made Ichigo get redder and her ears finally popped up; again this made her even more embarrassed. "I...uh...I'm okay" she said holding her head.

"If you say so" Kish said still worried. He had been a little over protective of her since the hospital. Ichigo was amazed when he had told her he had loved her. She used to think it was all a game to him, that she was just…his toy, as he said it.

Just then there was a knock at the door, and then Pudding barged in. "Ichigo Onee-sama we're going sledding, want to come?!!" she yelled happily. Then she saw Ichigo and Kish sitting together.

Then they heard voices come from down the hall "Pudding, we told you not to run in to other people's houses!" yelled Mint and the others followed as they saw her just staring in the living room. "Pudding?" they said, "Is Ichigo there?"

They then saw Ichigo sitting next to Kish in front of the fire. They knew she no longer despised him, but it was still weird.

"Hi guys" she said a little nervously. They stared at her and their former enemy. Her cat ears were up none the less.

Pudding shrugged off her shock and asked again "Wanna come sledding"

Kish looked at them confused.

He's so cute when he's clueless" Ichigo thought to herself.

Kish finally asked "What is sledding"

The others were still surprised he was there. "Sledding is where you go down a hill covered in snow on a sled, na no da!!" said Pudding energetically.

"Ichigo can we talk to you for a second…alone?" Zakuro asked.

Ichigo nodded her head and followed them. "Ichigo, why is Kish at your house!?" Mint asked when Kish could no longer hear them.

Meanwhile Pudding was explaining sledding to Kish , who did not understand the concept of sledding down a hill on a strange contraption.

"Um…well" she stuttered to them "He came over wondering if I was okay, and we talked."

They eyed her suspiciously. But they shrugged it off and went back to the living room, where Kish was staring at Pudding strangely.

"Why would one want to ride down a hill on a sled?" he asked her, in a smug way. She was so hyper and happy, why Taruto liked her, he didn't get, despite how much he denied it.

"It's fun!" said Pudding happily.

"Why don't you come" Zakuro asked Kish . Everyone was surprised, especially Kish . "After all the aliens are no longer our enemies." she replied to their shocked faces. Although they couldn't argue, it still seemed strange.

"Sure" Kish said "I'm willing to give it a try"

"That sounds like fun, Na No Da!!" Pudding yelled happily, "If only Taru-Taru were here!" (A/N: sorry people I couldn't help myself with this next part)

Just then Taruto appeared "Hey Kish we've been wondering where you…" before he could finish Pudding had latched on to him. "TARU-TARU!!" she yelled.

"I told you to stop calling me that!" he yelled. "And get off of me"

Pudding looked at him happily "Now you can go sledding too, Na No Da!!" she said happily.

He looked at her strangely. "What's sledding?" he asked.

"We'll show you" she yelled and before he could reply she pulled him out the door. The others put on coats and ran after them.

Mew Chi: I can't wait to write about Kish and Taruto falling flat on their faces

Kish and Taruto: 0.o what do you mean

Mew Chi: You'll see heehee

Kish and Taruto: We're scared.
