I must apologize I'm VERY STUPID! I forgot 2 put the meaning of kare-shi. Gomen! Anyway it means: for women referring 2 their boyfriends. Kare meaning he. . I was going 2 use koi bito, meaning lover or boyfriend/ girlfriend… but I just didn't :P anyway! I also noticed, after the fact of course that there are some spelling mistakes and mess-ups :( so sorry. Here is the next chapter that I finished faster than intended but hey that's okay… I think: P! Please review, even if you didn't like- ja!

Inutashio dashed out the door and flung his head around in search for Izayoi. "Izayoi! Izayoi!" He called. "If your looking for Izayoi you may as well go back inside and see if you can still hook up with Akane's friend." Rikyu voice taunted from beside the bike racks. "What did you do to her!" Inutashio demanded. "Me! Absolutely nothing, I think that it may have been you little indiscretion that may have caused her to bolt." Rikyu said with a smirk. "Which way did she go." Inutashio demanded through gritted teeth. "Hmm… I don't seem to be able to remember. Pity for you huh?" Rikyu taunted. In one swift movement Inutashio moved towards him and lifted Rikyu up by his shirt collar. "Tell me – now." Inutashio said calmly. "You don't scare me Tashio." Inutashio tightened his grip. "Still don't feel like telling me?" Inutashio mocked. Rikyu grunted in discomfort and raised his arm and pointed to the left. Inutashio dropped him immediately and took off in that direction.

Izayoi made it to her house in record time, but stopped before walking up the driveway. 'Maybe…Maybe it was just never meant to be. Perhaps Rikyu's right, but I just… I can't accept that. I want Inutashio to be with me and only me. Is that really such a selfish request? I didn't even give him the opportunity to even try and defend himself. Should I go back to the school?' Izayoi wondered.

"Izayoi! Izayoi!" Inutashio called while running down the street. 'Where did she go? Did she go to her house?'

'No! Why should I?' Izayoi thought while walking towards her front door. 'If he wants to be with me, I'll be waiting RIGHT HERE!' She decided, stepping inside her house. 'Oh but wait. I want to be with him. Why should I wait?' Izayoi's head fought, she headed back to go out the door. Her hand on the doorknob, she turned back around. Pacing back and forth; to the door and back Izayoi 's thoughts fought, 'No! He can come for me! No GO TO HIM! NO STAY! GO! STAY! GO! STAY!' "I'M GOING!" Izayoi decided aloud. She flung open the door and there in front of her stood a very out of breath and very tired looking Inutashio. "I didn't lie to – you." He panted heavily. He rested his arm on the doorframe and struggled to catch his breath. Izayoi turned swiftly around and skittered away into the house. "Wait!" Inutashio called behind her. "Where're you going?" She reappeared seconds later, with a glass of water in hand. "Here." Izayoi offered. "Thanks." He took it and downed the entire bottle in a few seconds. "Thirsty?" Inutashio nodded, "A bit."

"Look, at school it was just a big misunderstanding. I didn't want to kiss that girl, she just came up to me and started jabbering on about not wanting to be alone, and then she kissed me, and I wanted to umm… clarify that." Inutashio finished. "Are you mad at me? Cause you look kinda mad." Inutashio gulped. "She forced you to kiss her! What a bitch! I outta march right back there and show her who's boss!" Izayoi growled. Izayoi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Opening her eyes she said, "For now, I have more important things to deal with." Inutashio gulped and stared into her cinnamon orbs. Izayoi reached up and pulled the collar of his shirt down making him level with her. Eyes still locked with each other Izayoi said, "You better make sure that… the…next…time…" Izayoi was interrupted by Inutashio wrapping his arms tightly around her waist and running his hands up and down her back. "You were saying." He whispered. "Hey! I'm trying to scold you, you know!" "Mhmm." He mumbled back, placing light kisses on her neck. "Umm…I don't… like it… that you got… kissed by some…girl." She said stuttering, Inutashio of course making it thoroughly distracting for her to concentrate. Inutashio broke away from her neck and replied, "Well then, next time there's a situation like that, you'd better be around to protect me." "You bet I will." Izayoi replied and Inutashio leaned in for a deeper kiss.

"Mmm." Izayoi moaned as Inutashio teasingly nibbled on her lower lip. Izayoi melted into that kiss. Inutashio pushed her to the closest wall, and it was a good thing he did. Izayoi felt as if her legs were going to give out any moment. Izayoi felt the mild-mannered, self-aware, polite little girl that her mother raised, slip away as she clutched to Inutashio possessively. Each kiss became deeper and deeper than the previous. Izayoi felt Inutashio's hands grow bolder. One hand snaked up underneath the back of her shirt, and the other pushed back the fabric on her right shoulder. Izayoi's fingers played daintily with the bottom of Inutashio's long sleeved shirt. In hopes that she'd catch a glimpse of that beautifully sculpted body of his. Every few seconds lifting it inches higher, trying to see if he'd take the hint and discard it to the floor. Just when Izayoi thought she'd gotten his attention to get rid of the shirt, a loud cough and an unfamiliar voice made Izayoi panic, and throw off Inutashio, causing him to land on the floor. Izayoi spun around to greet the visitor.

"You two really need to get a room." "Umm…no its not like that…we were… we weren't… he was just…" Izayoi stuttered nervously. "Sure, whatever you say missy." "Maybe I should've closed the door behind me." Inutashio whispered in her ear, getting up from the floor. "Umm, yeah." Izayoi whispered back. "So, how can I help you?" Izayoi asked the short and stocky, bald man standing in her doorway. "Yeah, well I'm here to install the Takouyoi residences' computer. Is this the right place?" "Yes, yes it is please come in." Izayoi gestured stepping back to invite him in. "It's right this way, in the kitchen." Izayoi informed. "Alright then." "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but weren't you supposed to be here yesterday?" Izayoi asked. "Yeah, but we had to reschedule, my company should've called her, check your messages kid." He responded kneeling down beside the computer and fumbling with some wires. "Oh." Izayoi replied dumbly. Izayoi and Inutashio just stood there awkwardly before taking a seat in the family room and turning on the television. Inutashio tugged lightly on Izayoi's shoulders until she reluctantly fell back into his chest. Lightly kissing her neck, Izayoi could feel her blush deepen when she felt the eyes of the bald man watching them. She slapped Inutashio's leg lightly and whispered, "Don't!" "Don't what?" Inutashio teased back, sliding away the material on her shoulder, placing soft kisses on her collarbone. "Inutashio." Izayoi moaned. Which wasn't intended on coming out like a moan, it was supposed to sound like a hiss or at least try and make her sound angry. 'A few more minutes of this and I don't know if I'll be able to contain myself.' Izayoi thought frantically. She acted immediately on impulse; She jumped up off the couch and pulled Inutashio up by the hand and ran up the stairs to her room.
