"Tashio, hey buddy, I heard about what happened earlier. That's gotta suck." Rikyu called making his way over to Inutashio. "I mean if it were my girl, I would make sure she's protected 24/7, but I guess you've got other things to worry about" Rikyu taunted taking a seat in the desk beside Inutashio. 'Protected? What the hell is he going on about?' Inutashio pondered.
"You know Izayoi's a special girl, if you can't guarantee her safety, I'm know of a few, dozen, guys who certainly wouldn't mind being in her company." Rikyu said smirking deviously. 'Izayoi.' Her name alone made his heart race faster. 'What does Rikyu mean about her safety?'
"Rikyu, get back to your proper seat, this is not your free period." Their business sensei instructed. Rikyu got up and walked back to his desk. Inutashio raised his hand and asked, "May I be excused?"
Five minutes later Inutashio was out of his business class and in the café frantically searching for Izayoi. He spotted her sitting alone, with her head down. He walked up to her and crouched down beside her. "Izayoi, are you alright? What happened?" Inutashio whispered in her ear.
The warmth of his breath on her ear made Izayoi smile, and forget about the surging pain coursing along her torso. She raised her head and was greeting by those familiar enticing golden orbs. She smiled and licked her lips, "Hey handsome." He blushed and Izayoi asked. "Aren't you supposed to be in class? Skipping, tisk tisk, bad boy." She teased shaking a finger at him. 'She's looks absolutely amazing today.' 'Inutashio are you forgetting the reason you're here?' Inutashio's conscious reminded him. 'Oh right, she's so alluring I was distracted.' He shook his head, chasing away any libidinous thoughts. "Izayoi, are you alright? Did anything happen this morning when I wasn't around?" Inutashio asked searching his girlfriend's face for answers.
Izayoi didn't want to worry him or worse anger him into doing something that would get him in trouble. 'I can't lie to him…I just won't tell him, what he doesn't know can't hurt him.' Izayoi thought trying to quickly think of a way to get out of answering his question. In one quick movement she was crouched in the same position as he was, facing him. "Were you worried about me?" she asked watching the pink form on his cheeks. "Well… of course I was." Inutashio admitted. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "That's so cute." She whispered in his ear. "You still haven't answered my question." 'Uh oh.' Izayoi thought. 'I guess it'll take more than that to distract him.' She broke away from the brief embrace and pressed her lips onto his. They remained in that position, crouched and lip-locked, until the bell rang, signifying the end of fifth period. Izayoi pulled away and noticed that Inutashio's eyes were still closed. She giggled and leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Lets go." Making sure to tickle his ear with her breath. She watched a shiver travel down his spine. He opened his eyes and they got up off the floor. They made their way out of the café and headed to sixth period together, science. Walking down the halls Izayoi prayed that she wouldn't see any of the members of 'Rikyu's fan club.' That was the last thing she needed. She looked up at Inutashio. 'He looks so strong, so resolute. Being near him makes me feel so shielded. I could really get used to this.' Izayoi thought taking hold of his hand, and walking into their science class.
Together Izayoi and Inutashio made it through an innocuous science class, and Izayoi was just hoping that Inutashio didn't mention anything about Rikyu. Walking through the halls with Izayoi, Inutashio remembered something. "Izayoi, I left my English notes behind in class, will you wait for me in front of the school?" "Yeah, of course I will." She replied leaning in and giving him a quick kiss before walking towards her locker.
"That's the one, over there. That's Izayoi's boyfriend. He's the one, but before you do it, you've gotta stall him for about five minutes, okay?" A familiar redheaded girl whispered to one of her 'disciples.' "Akane, I don't get it, why don't you do it?" the timid brunette asked her friend. "Are you serious? I'm Rikyu's girl, if I even get close to another guy, even if it was for something like this, we'd be over. Besides doing this little favor for the group will really boost your popularity." Akane encouraged winking. "Really?" the brunette asked. "Yup, now go before he gets out to meet that little brat of his." Akane ordered.
"Hey baby, what are you doing out here all by your lonesome?" 'Oh great, its him. I could recognize that irritating voice anywhere.' Izayoi thought. She looked up to see that cocky grin plastered on his face. When Izayoi didn't respond, Rikyu pretended to look hurt, and asked. "What don't I get a hello?" "Hello." Was her dull reply. "Oh I just love how words roll off those precious ruby lips of yours." He replied licking his lips. Izayoi rolled her eyes, and looked around for Inutashio. "Who are you looking for baby? Someone important maybe?" Rikyu taunted. "Yes! I'm looking for my kare-shi." She replied smiling. "What did you say?" Rikyu demanded. "You heard me, and I would've thought it was fairly obvious that Inutashio's my kare-shi." "Well that's just great, I'm really happy for you baby." Rikyu said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Izayoi just continued to look away with a scowl on her face. "You know, I always figured that you were into guys who were sincere and honest, but that's just my opinion of course." Rikyu badgered. "Personally, my girl likes it when I tell the truth, for example; if I've been with another girl, she wants to know about so we can, what she says, 'work it out.' So my hypothesis was that—" "RIKYU! What are you going on about!" Izayoi snapped. Which was very different from the way she usually was, Izayoi wasn't normally easily angered, but he was just going on and on, it was driving her nuts! "Well, now that you're asking, I've got a little bit of an inside scoop on your little lover Tashio, if you know what I'm saying, so you want details?" Rikyu questioned. Izayoi contemplated on this for a minute. 'What does he mean by 'inside scoop?' What could he possibly know?' Should I listen to him?' "Well you want to know or not?" Rikyu asked turning to walk away, but out of the corner of his eye, he could see Izayoi shaking her head as a yes.
"Hey where ya headed?" An overconfident looking brunette asked walking towards Inutashio. "Huh, do I know you from somewhere?" Inutashio asked looking at the girl to double check. "Well you should silly." She teased walking closer and closer towards him and stroking his arm. "How have you been?" She asked now taking his hand and stroking it. "Uh… I'm alright, what did you say your name was?" Inutashio asked taking a step back away from the grabby teenage girl. "Oh no need to be shy, would you mind walking me to my locker?" She pleaded. "Are your legs broken?" He asked a little harsher than intended, but he'd told Izayoi that he'd only be a few minutes. "I'm just…:sniff sniff: afraid." "Afraid of what?" Inutashio demanded. "Of… being… alone! Yes! I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE!" she cried dramatically, throwing herself onto Inutashio. "Uh, get off me…please. I've got a girlfriend already." Inutashio informed. "Oh shush, don't talk, calm the fury within you and kiss me!" In a split second it all happened. This random mystery teenager forced her lips on Inutashio's just as Izayoi burst through the door. "Youyou lied to me." Izayoi said so quietly that it was barely audible. She turned on her heel and headed back out the same way she came. 'Rikyu was right, how could he have been right?' Izayoi thought brushing away the stray tears.
Flashback
"Your beloved Inutashio is nothing but a player. You may not see it but he's got all the girls at this school wrapped around his finger. I'll bet you that right now he's in there getting a little action with one of his many side girls." Rikyu said running his hand through his hair. "I'd hate to think that you're just another of his side girls." "I refuse to believe a word of it!" Izayoi spat turning to walk in the school. "I wouldn't go in there if I were you baby, you'll just get hurt, he's a cheater!" Rikyu called after her.
End of Flashback
'He's a cheater, a cheater.' Those words rung in her mind like a pounding headache. 'I've got to get away right now, I can't see him, not now.' Izayoi thought running towards her house.
