'Was she… no I don't think she was, well it looked like she was, perhaps but maybe not. Was Izayoi staring at my chest' Inutashio thought, a smile creeping up on his lips.
Izayoi paced in her family's laundry room for the next fifteen minutes before she heard a knock coming from outside the laundry room door. She stood still for a moment contemplating on what to do. "Izayoi". "Yes" she peeped. She watched as he slowly opened the door and made his way into the room. Izayoi felt her face redden as the seconds passed, he was still in only a towel, not as if he had much of a choice but the only difference was his skin was no longer sprayed with water droplets. "I was just wondering if—" he was cut off by the sound of the dryer finishing. Izayoi spun around and took out his clothes. Inutashio walked up behind her to take them from her, and Izayoi then promptly turned around to give them to him and ended up getting face to chest with Inutashio. Which didn't exactly help lower the bright red colour of her face. "A, umm, here you go" she said stuttering, trying to get out of the room. Inutashio on the other hand was taking things quite well. "Izayoi, are you embarrassed about something"? "Me, no, no, what do I have to be embarrassed about" she replied eyeing the door. "Well for one thing you won't look me in the eye, why would that be"? "Cause you're hardly wearing any clothes" she mumbled. Inutashio's eyes widened and he turned and left to go put his clothes on.
Izayoi breathed a deep sigh of relief. It wasn't if she necessarily felt uncomfortable with Inutashio, its just that she kinda preferred him with his clothes on. Not saying that it was a bad view or anything, just that they hadn't even been together a week and she'd already seen him half-naked. 'Fully naked if that towel dropped' Izayoi blushed harder at the thought of that.
Izayoi paced in the hallway waiting for Inutashio to finish changing. 'Okay Izayoi when you see him no matter how cute and sexy he looks just – think of him with his shirt off- NO! Don't blush, all you ever do is blush, must stop blushing' she fought with herself mentally until Inutashio walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She jumped a little, startled that she didn't hear him walking down the stairs. "Hi, did I scare you, I'm sorry" he whispered in her ear. "No, its okay". She leaned back onto his chest, allowing herself to feel the wonderful sensation of being protected. "We should go, don't wanna be late" she said softly taking his hand. He nodded and they proceeded to the door.
They walked to school in silence until Inutashio asked, "What are we going to do about Rikyu"? "What about him, I don't see him as much of a threat". "NOT MUCH OF A THREAT! He hit you Izayoi, no one has the right to even think about doing that to you" he growled. "Inutashio calm down, I don't want you getting into a fight, besides why would Rikyu care if I'm with you"?
"Cause he's a jealous, sneaky, cunning, greedy bastard and he wants to claim you as his" he spat, his face turning red with anger.
"Listen I don't believe that people 'belong' to other people, and if I did the closest person that I would belong to, would be you. So calm down, don't let him bother you so much, its not worth the energy" she said leaning up to give him a peck on the cheek. His anger diminished slightly as he leaned down and returned the kiss. She looked into his eyes and smiled sweetly. "So what does you dad do for a living that makes him travel"? "He's a general contractor, not very exciting" he smirked. "Oh cool, yeah my mom's job isn't exactly that glorious either, I can tell she's not very happy, but she cares that much for my brother, sister and me. She's willing to have an unfulfilling job to pay the bills," Izayoi said. "Can I ask you a question, if its too personal then don't answer, but, where's your dad"? "Oh, him, well a couple of years ago he and my mom split up, they were always fighting, anyway he and my mother had joint custody, and one day he was supposed to pick us up from school to take us for the weekend, but he never showed. He just left and never came back". "Oh, I'm sorry for bringing it up". "No, no it's alright, I don't mind talking about it" she replied. They arrived in front of the school on time after talking about random things, they crossed the street and Inutashio was the first to notice him. Rikyu.
