Chapter 4
Time stopped.
Izumi's mind was numb. Was this a dream? Kouji, her boyfriend! With Takuya? There was no misunderstanding. Their lips were locked, their arms around each other.
Most girls would probably say, if they were in that position, they'd do some major bitching. But it was doubtful most would. Izumi was no exception.
Without a word, she turned and ran.
"Izumi--!" Kouji gasped and pulled away.
"Nani? Izumi?" Takuya froze. Had he been wrong?
"She.. saw us.. she just ran off."
"Oh.. damn.. Not good."
Through the cold Autumn night, she ran. Ignoring the wind that chilled her to the bone. Ignoring the stitch in her side from running so long. The only thing she actually noticed was when someone called her name.
"Izumi-chan!" It wasn't that gorgeous deep voice she'd loved so much, but a scratchy yet cute one.
"J-junpei?" She slowed, and stopped.
"Izumi-chan, what's wrong?"
She bit her lip, the tears in her eyes threatening to spill over any moment. Then, without warning, she fell into Junpei's arms and sobbed.
They remained like that, for a while. The boy was confused, and quite shocked. Izumi had never showed she even knew his name before. He was a reject, an outcast, and outsider. She was an all-around friendly girl and got along with most everybody, but she couldn't expect to know every single person in the school.
Her tears eventually subsided. "Arigatou.."
"..For what..?"
"Just.. for being there for me. I.. I saw Kouji.. with.."
"Another girl? I knew he was no good!"
"Oh, n-no.. that's not it.."
"Izumi?"
The blonde girl looked over Junpei's shoulder at the sound of that familiar voice. "..Kouji.." She pulled away Junpei.
He turned around. "Kouji? What did you do!? I always knew you didn't deserve her!" He snarled.
"Junpei, please!" The two suddenly noticed Takuya. "This is my fault, too."
"Shut up." Izumi was shaking. "I don't care whose fault it is. I loved you, Kouji. You played with me feelings. You tore my heart in two, tonight."
"Izumi, please.." He began.
"No! Kouji Minamoto, I hate you!" She turned and ran, and didn't stop until she arrived at home.
Nobody pursued her.
Things didn't go well at school for a while. Once good friends, Takuya and Junpei didn't even speak to each other any more, except for the occasional rude remark from the latter. Izumi refused to say anything to her ex-boyfriend, nor to Takuya. She believed they were in it from the beginning. She did talk to Junpei a lot more, though, and many suspected the two were going out.
Takuya and Kouji, though, weren't so happy. Kouji was even more withdrawn than before, after that dance night disaster. He felt he wasn't any help to anyone, that he would only cause pain. And try as he might, Takuya couldn't get him to say much anymore. They were further apart then before.
It couldn't go on like this.
Somebody had to make a stand.
A.N. Okay, that one was kinda short.. but sweet. Well, more sour.. you know what I mean. And yes, this fic is NOT over! I know I said this would most likely be the last chapter.. I lied. Well, not intentionally. For some reason it just never clicked in my tiny brain that Izumi wouldn't say, "Oh, you like Takuya, Kouji? That's okay." ^^; But that's okay, this means more plot, and more writing! And I no longer hate this fic, either! And my Takouji muse is back, whee! And I saw episode 32 today! WHEE!!!! I've only been waiting 3 WEEKS!
