Chapter 7: The Meanest

As Izumi and Kouji grew, their relationship became stronger and stronger.

Kouji was all that Izumi wanted. At some point, a very nasty and sick-minded teenage boy tried to force Izumi into making out with him. Luckily, Kouji was there to protect Izumi.

Age 17 – 10:45 PM - In Alleyway

"Come on Izumi, just one kiss!" said the perverted boy that was pinning Izumi to the wall. Izumi shook her head and tried to scream, but the boy covered her mouth with his, forcing his tongue into her mouth. Izumi's eyes widened and she bit his tongue, making him retreat. "You b!" he cried out. He pushed her a little higher on the wall and was about to hurt her when suddenly...

"What are you doing picking on girls?" a very icy voice said. The voice came from a boy at one end of the alleyway. He was flashing a flashlight in their direction. The other boy that was pinning Izumi against the wall went pale. He let go of Izumi and at that exact moment, Kouji, the boy with the flashlight, showed himself. Kouji grabbed the boy from the collar of his jacket and rammed him into the wall. "Don't ever touch Izumi, you got that?!?!" he yelled furiously. The boy whimpered and nodded. Kouji let him go and immediately, the boy ran away.

Kouji turned to Izumi, who was just standing there with a shocked expression. "Are you okay?" Kouji asked her. Izumi just began to sob and ran into his arms. "Th-th-thank you, Kouji-kun! I was so scared!" she said between sobs. Kouji opened his mouth to say something, but Izumi gave him a long kiss before he could say anything.

End scene

So there you have it, Kouji was always there for Izumi and she was always there for him. Everyone in all of Tokyo High was jealous of their perfect relationship. And when they began college, Izumi, Kouji and most of their friends stayed on campus. During the first day, Kouji and Izumi came separately, so no one they knew suspected a relationship between the two. Immediately, all the girls came rushing to Kouji.

"Oh my God! What is your name?" a brunette asked. "Kouji." Kouji simply replied while not looking at her. Many other girls followed him and asked him some questions. Kouji just answered them with two words or less. Suddenly, all the girls went silent and moved out of the way, making a perfect path towards Kouji. A beautiful girl with black hair and green eyes and freckles stood at the end of the "passage". She walked with a perfect posture towards Kouji. "I'm Carla, what's your name?" she said in a seductive voice. "Kouji." Kouji said as simply as he said to the first girl. Carla kept on flirting with him, but he payed no interest in her.

"So, do you have a girlfriend?" Carla finally asked. "Yes, and here she comes." Kouji replied. He gestured to Izumi, who was storming towards Kouji and the girls. "Hi Kouji-kun, who is this girl you have here?" Izumi said the most obvious fake sweetness in her voice. "Some girl named Carla, Izumi-chan." He replied. Carla shot Izumi a dirty look and stomped off with her perfect posture. Two other girls followed her. "I wonder what her problem is." Kouji said. Izumi rolled her eyes and laughed.

By the end of the morning... not even the end of the morning, actually, Izumi and Kouji had found out that Carla Sanrini was the most popular girl in school... not to mention the meanest. All the boys wanted to go out with her even a few of the taken ones. When Carla found out that the new hottie (Kouji) already had a girlfriend, she began devising her meanest plot yet.

It took a couple of weeks for Carla to perfect her scheme. At the end of classes, she asked Kouji if he could come with her for a second... while Izumi wasn't there, of course. She brought him to the back of the school and immediately began kissing him. Her eyes were closed and her arms were wrapped around his neck. Kouji closed his eyes in disgust and put his hands on her shoulders to push her off when suddenly...
