Inutashio didn't like seeing girls frown, especially Izayoi. She was being so nice to him and he was being, well, a prick. "I wasn't born here, my father and I moved here when my mom died, the beginning of high school. I-I get smart-ass remarks from people like Rikyu because of something I did in the middle of tenth grade. I screwed up a lot of my life two years age. A LOT". He expected Izayoi to ask him what he did, or ask him to get into more details. She didn't she only gave him a slight smile.

Izayoi was so pleased he'd told her something, even if it was just basic stuff. That was the most he'd ever talked to her. She felt as if she could trust him entirely. Without even thinking she told him about her past.

Izayoi told Inutashio about where she was born. How long and how many times she'd moved. She talked on and on about random things. Izayoi stopped suddenly. "Sorry I must be talking your ear off" she said looking down blushing. "Talking my ear off, no I enjoy someone to talk to," Inutashio said grinning slightly. "Still I must be very annoying". "Trust me I know annoying and your far from being annoying" Inutashio reassured her. "Thanks" Izayoi said sincerely. "Your welcome, umm, can I ask you a question," Inutashio asked? "Sure" Izayoi beamed in happiness that he was warming up to her and feeling comfortable enough to ask her questions. "When we first met you called me Makoto, who's Makoto" Inutashio asked? The second the name was out of his mouth he knew he shouldn't have said it. Izayoi froze. She stopped walking and her heart dropped to the pit of her stomach. "Makoto" she whispered. Inutashio turned towards her. Her face was completely drained of all colour. "I'm sorry, never mind, forget I said anything" Inutashio said. Izayoi still didn't move. "Izayoi look at me please, I'm sorry," he said looking into her eyes. 'Did, did he care about her feelings'? 'He did'! The corners of Izayoi's mouth turned upwards. "Izayoi, I'm so sorry please forgive me" Inutashio pleaded. Izayoi looked up at him and touched his face gently. Her cool fingers running along the markings on his cheeks. "What are they" Izayoi asked softly? "What these" Inutashio's hand reached up to his face touching the marks? "Yeah". "Oh, they're like a birthmark I guess, all the guys in my family have them". Izayoi ran her fingers over his hand. 'Makoto, he's not going to bother me anymore, he's a part of the past'. "Makoto is my ex-boyfriend, he asked me to sleep with him and when I told him I wasn't ready, he said that he'd respect my wishes and wait for me". Inutashio's eyes filled with interest and wonder as Izayoi continued. "He was the first boy that I'd ever really given my heart to, the night that I thought I was ready, I found him and a fellow classmate of mine making out. I was heartbroken but assumed that it hadn't gone any farther than that. I was wrong. He'd been sleeping with everyone, and he told me that he said that he'd loved me just to get to third base with me" Izayoi finished. For a while none of them spoke. "I guess it was kind of dumb for me to-". Inutashio interrupted Izayoi. "Look don't think it was something you did, that guy Makoto sounds like a general asshole, you shouldn't let your past feelings for him disrupt your feelings of the present". Izayoi just stared into Inutashio's eyes. "Your right, I shouldn't" Izayoi said smirking. She leaned forward tilting her head upwards placing a gentle kiss on Inutashio's lips. She felt him slightly jerk back, but not enough to disrupt the kiss. He leaned forward deepening the kiss. She felt his arms wrap around her and she placed her hands on the back of his neck.

Inutashio wrapped his arms around Izayoi; it felt so right, kissing her. He became so involved in the kiss he didn't notice his hands wandering all over her body, obviously Izayoi didn't mind too much because her hands began to run along his back, making their way to his chest. Inutashio pulled Izayoi to the nearest fence and kissed her repeatedly. He felt her press against him and they finally pulled apart after a long kiss for air. They didn't completely remove their hands from each other, but made sure their faces stayed far enough apart so they didn't fall into another making out frenzy, which in Inutashio's opinion wouldn't have been such a bad thing. Izayoi looked at Inutashio and smiled. Inutashio blushed for the first time in a long time. "So I take it you like me then" Izayoi said bursting into another wide smile. "Maybe just a bit" Inutashio replied breaking their gaze. "Oh well if its just a little bit maybe I can just make it home on my own" Izayoi joked beginning to walk away slowly. Inutashio reached out and pulled her back, she spun around and Inutashio pulled her into another deep kiss. Eventually they pulled apart grinning. Inutashio still held onto her.

'Finally, that was nice. Oh my god I completely forgot about going home' Izayoi head reminded her. "I have to go" Izayoi said breaking away from Inutashio's strong arms. "Why so soon" he asked? "I was supposed to be home hours ago" she called turning to run. "Tomorrow Sunday, what are you doing?" he asked stepping away from the fence? "I dunno, meet me here at twelve, okay bye" Izayoi fully turned around and ran home.

'She doesn't really seem the type to kiss and run' Inutashio thought. He smiled as he ran his fingers over his mouth. Inutashio watched Izayoi run until she turned a corner and he couldn't see her anymore. So he turned and walked home, still smiling.

"Mom, mom I am so sorry for being late I—". Izayoi's mom turned from a corner and surprisingly had a grin on her face. "Honey your late, but I'm not really that angry". "Huh"? Izayoi expected a lecture or something, anything. "I was driving Azumi home and I saw you and that silver haired boy". Izayoi flushed. 'OH MY GOD, please don't tell me mom saw' Izayoi's head wished. "I saw that lovely gentleman walking you home" her mom beamed. "Right he was walking me home" Izayoi smiled weakly. "He looks pretty handsome Izayoi, just try and update your dear mom, you could have told me that you were seeing somebody again, instead of making up excuses for going to the library". Izayoi blushed and decided not to tell her mom about what actually happened at the library or at the fence. "So is he a nice boy" my mom asked? "Yes very nice, umm do you think that we could hang out tomorrow" I ask? "Sure" her mom replied happily! "As long as I get a chance to meet him before the end of the week". "O-okay" Izayoi, said. "So you want some dinner," her mom asked? "S-sure" Izayoi answered getting over the shock that, that was all her mom had to stay about her being gone for half the day. Izayoi looked at the clock, it was seven thirty. Had she really been with Inutashio and hour and a half? It didn't seem like very long, but it was the most time she'd spent with him so far. That was the key word so far. Izayoi smiled remembering their plans to meet tomorrow. 'He would come wouldn't he' Izayoi wondered? He'd better. She still smiled.

'Finally my baby has gotten over that waste of life Makoto' Izayoi's mom thought. 'He was a nice boy but far too touchy, and he flirted with everything. This white haired boy would be a nice change' she thought smiling.
