Yoley raced quickly past the young proffesor in a long, white, doctor's jacket, her slender fingers clutching the copper scale tightly, her breathing heavy and her steps light like a deer's. She raised a hand as if to reach the woman, "Proffesor Eiko! Proffesor Eiko!" she yelled after the woman. The proffesor turned around cruously and her lips broke into a kind smile as soon as her chocolate, brown eyes caught the image of the desperate girl, "hello Yoley, do you need anything?" she asked kindly, yet curiosity glinted in her warm eyes. Yoley took a deep breath and nodded, she oppened her fingers and revealed the beautiful, shinny, copper scale, "Izzy told me he went to talk to you yesterday for an science project about Copperhead Snakes…I'd like to ask where you got this scale, it's not a Copperhead's, too shinny, and the creature owner of it must be nearly 10 metres in length!" she explained in a frantic voice. The proffesor grabed the scale and examined it closely, a confused look written across her features, "indeed, you are right, this is not from a Copperhead's, actually, I've never seen anythign like this, where did you get this Yoley?" she asked very seriously, giving the girl back her scale. Yoley raised an eyebrow, she should know, she had given it to Izzy, she was the owner of the snake, "you gave it to Izzy!" she stated clearly, almost discussing that this woman was making her seem like an idiot. Proffesor Eiko recoiled, but more shocked aout the affirmation than anything else, "MEEE?! No Yoley, you are mistaken, I never gave Izzy that, in fact, I didn't even see him yesterday" the proffesor explained placing a strand of dirty, brown hair correctly over her forehead.

I gasped, "oh no!" I muttered hiding behind a corner, Yoley was speaking with the biology proffesor, surely about the funny looking scale on my desk. I took a glance at her without removing my body from the cover of the corner's shadows, my eyes examining her. Something caught my attention, something shinny, and copper coloured, almost like a very lustrous copper coin. I placed a hand over my gaping mouth to drown the loud, shocked yelp that was about to escape my lips, "a scale!" I said to myself in a muffled voice. She had a scale, a copper coloured scale, a DRAGON scale! But how could she have it? I myself disposed of it yesterday after she left! Realization dawned into me and an unconcious hand moved torwards my neck, where I had scratched it, where Yoley had caressed me. Now I got it, after I scratched my neck some of the scales must have fallen off, but a few remained dead, yet still sightly attacked to my skin, that's why they couldn't hide under the appereance of human skin, and Yoley had one! I unconciously reached out to touch my neck, and winced slightly, it was still stinging.

I avoided her as much as I could, I didn't want to be questioned about the origins of the scale, or what was one of them doing on my lightly injured neck, even more, how did I injure my neck? But I knew well I couldn't avoid her for the rest of my life, and it was obvious that I'd encounter her pretty soon. I entered the Computer Lab silently, there was nobody around, and deffinitely not into the club, but I was wrong. As soon as I oppened the door my eyes made contact with a fuming figure, silky, violet hair flowing long behind her, and a slender figure stitting nervously on the chair. Yoley seemed to be having problems with the computer, she clicked nervously across the bright screen. Unconciously my lips stretched lightly until they became a warm, calid smile, and my eyes seemed to sparkle upon seeing her, there, so oblivious to my pressence, and angered at the computer, yet as beautiful as ever. I left my items on top of a table silently and approached her with equal silence.

My arms hesitantly moved around her, a manly hand was placed over her slender, delicate and feminine hand, and I was able to feel the cool and silky texture of her milky skin. I felt the girl jump startled at my touch, and her head inmediatly looked up wondering who was the person that dared to approach her in such daring way. I looked down at her and smiled kindly, which was returned by a radiant smile from the girl, her cheeks slightly flushed from the heat and fury released torwards the computer, yet her beautiful face irradiated some sort of happiness upon seeing me. However I noticed her eyes gazing deep into mine, not the kind of romantic gazing, but more the scrutinious gazing, almost as if she was trying to scratch something from them, some truth about me, some fact I was hiding from her and that would clear many things. I knew she was confused about the scale matter, so I decided to break my gaze from her, my black eyes focused with concentration on the computer. I felt the woman relax below my body, my arms were placed over her shoulders, while my hand was caressing her's tenderly, carefully moving the mouse across the table, to handle the pointer into the screen.

I ignored the problem for a second as I concentrated in the screen "look!" I said gently, "it's not that hard, see? Knowing which are the drivers all you have to do is click here, type this name…" I continued, but as I leaned down to type the name her sweet, perfume reached my nose, I inhaled deeply, having a hard time in concentrating on my task, but managed somehow to type the code correctly. I clicked to accept and smiled, "…and Voila! See?" I commented, a bright, cheerful smile baring my teeths slightly. I looked down at her at the same time as she looked up, and our gazes connected, my cheerful smile faded into a milder, dreamy one, my eyes looking intensely into her bright, blue ones. I leaned down slightly upon deciding this was the right thing to do, and my lips brushed against hers delicately, not a passionate, lust filled kissed, more a romantic, platonic sort of kiss, the one that explained there might be a feeling but it was impossible right now. I was not shocked about the fact that I was kissing her tenderly, but about the fact that she never pulled back, nor spoke, she still played along with me, and I swore she moved her lips slightly to caress mine in the same, tender fashion.

The Computer Lab's room split open noisily and a young, first year girl by the name of Kiroa entered the lab, "Izzy, Iz…." She had entered yelling out my name, but ahd encountered the situation with me leaning over a girl, my lips against hers, "ooooooh! SORRY!" she said and rushed out of the room. I pulled back in time to see her face shocked, skin flushed and eyes wide like an owl's, and I couldn't help but grin slightly at her amused face. I looked at Yoley and smiled feeling slightly akward but nothing that would make me stop speaking to her, "be right back!" I said making my point by raising a finger up.

I rushed quickly across the classroom and rushed past the door, "Kiroa! Wait!" I yelled at the young, 13 years old child. Kiroa stopped and looked at me with her large brown eyes, "sorry Izzy, I didn't think you were…um…with a girl!" she apologized blushing a bright red. My lips broke into a grin and my hand made it's way torwards the back of my head where it scratched my uruly, wild, flaming hair in an embarrased fashion, "well, she's not exactly my girl, you see, I was telling her how to work a command…" I started trying to make my way out of it. I spotted Ken walking past torwards the Math Seminaire and I waved at him. He waved back not stopping for he seeemd in a hurry, "YOU WERE KISSING HER!" snapped Kiroa in her hight pitched, loud, still childish voice. Ken seemed to be convulsing for some misterious reason as he vanished across a corner, and I became a bright red, so much that if I became a dragon nobody would notice the difference except for the size, "ugh, Kiora! That's not your business! Tell me, what did you want?" I muttered displeased, although as much as I tried to be severe, I couldn't really force myself into it. Kiroa seemed pleased with her deduction and placed both hands on her little hips, "it's about the Spring Math Tournament, the principal wants to speak to you!" she said with glowing eyes. The tournament had been two months ago, what could be so important now? Oh well, my mind was still floating across two images, Yoley and Ken…there will be too much explaining to do.

Yoley and I were pacing calmly back home, chatting animatedly about the meeting with the principal, "she said I was brilliant! Not a single mistake, so she wants to put me a class up" I explained, my arms behind my head and my gaze looking up at the bright, blue sky. It was a warm, summer day, so I had untied my tie and placed it into my bag, my shirt's first button was unbuttoned too and my shirt itself was out from it's usual position in my pants. Yoley looked at me and smiled brightly, "that's great, I always knew you would get the highest grades, but if they keep raising you, you'll be done with college before I start" Yoley snapped laughing softly. I looked down at her and smiled, my cheeks becoming a faint pinkish, a blush of embarrasment, "ah, nah! Yoley, I'm sure we'll end up together in the same class, you are a pretty smart girl!" I complimented laughing along with her. I noticed that the heat also affected her way of dressing, wearing her typical, uniform skirt, yet her long and slender legs were left bare, and the white shirt was two buttons open, revealing slightly her perfect breasts. I blushed deeply as I retreated my gaze quickly, and mentally slapped myself. She placed a hand on my shoulder and shook her head, yet a smile curved her beautiful lips, "not as smart as you" she said kindly yet something in the way she acted was different from her usual self. I looked down at her, this time more seriously, "nobody can be as smart as me" I said in a soft, serious voice. Of course not Izzy! You. Are. A. Dragon. Was I trying to hint this to her? No, I guess not.

We kept walking in some sort of akward silence, Yoley hadn't asked me why I was so sure my mind was superior to that of everyone, and I considered it a slip, unless I was unconciously trying to make her see the obvious, I was a dragon. We reached the pathcross where we always split, I had to turn left torwards the bust stop which would take me to my house, large buildings and so, and Yoley went straight ahead, torwards the large, forest area with challetes. I looked at her with simpathy and noticed something in her eyes, something close to desire, she was eager to do something, or actually expected me to do something.

I smiled, my eyes focused around in search of something, and the sun was starting to burn onto my copper coloured hair, "erm…well, see ya later at home I guess" I said scratching the back of my head. Yoley nodded sadly and smiled weakly up at me, "yeah" she said in a voice that was not her own, she was sort of sad, not her cheerful self, and I knew why, but it couldn't be, I was dragon, she was human. She took a step under my vigilant gaze, but spinned around faster than eyes could see and pounced on me, her arms encircled my neck quickly and her lips made contact with mine. My eyes widdened at first, and my concious mind urged me to pull away, but I didn't, instead I drowned deeper into the kiss as soon as I felt her lips parting eagerly, and I let my tounge slip past to dance with her own tounge. My arms encircled her waist  as I felt her hands trailing down my back, and my heartbeat fastenened.

 I pulled away slightly as I regained my counciousness and placed a finger to her lips, "Yoley…Yoley…wait" I said in an exahusted, soft voice. She looked into my eyes, and pain, deception, many things seem to reflect upon her heart, "Izzy?" she said in an strangled voice. Ok, I had really done it this time but I knew something, I did like this girl, she was pretty, smart, my best friend, and that was the thing that hurted me the most, that she was my best friend. I smiled sweetly at her and gave in to my emotions, "nothing" in whispered lustfully and leaned down to receive the humid and soft feeling of her lips caressing mine.

I was unaware of something, the young, 15 years old man that was staring at us, his chest inflating rapidly with the boiling feeling of anger pulsating against his blood, burning him within. His fists were clenched tightly, his nuckled turning white, and his icy blue eyes becoming coals of hot fire at the intensity of his gaze, "I cant believe you Yoley, you loved me…you loved me!" a pained moan escaped his lips. The reality sank in quicker than it should have, and the boy felt his blood freeze with the deception of broken heart. He turned around and let out a loud, roaring yell as he raced across the street, his eyes watering, tears dropping down his eyes, diamons of salty fluid running down his cheeks, colliding and vanishing against the unbearable warmth of the stoned floor.

To Be Continued…

AN: Ok it is getting better right? Well, I know it's not really famous because first, the first serie is long finished, and two, Izzy is not one of the most popular characters, but hey, I'm doing this idea that was nagging into my head and I think it's pretty nice, and you guys, lovers of anime, will like the ending, I'm sure.
