Making her way up the stairs with her boyfriend Izayoi knew there was only one thing to do… calm his raging hormones before they both did something that they weren't ready for. She pulled him inside her room and slammed the door shut. Turning back around to face him, she raised her hand to smack him but made her hand stop millimeters before actually striking his face. "W-what- was that f-for?" Inutashio demanded taking her hand from beside his face. "I never hit you." Izayoi responded calmly. "Yeah, but you were going to!" Izayoi sighed in response. "I asked you to stop." Izayoi informed. "…You never used the word stop." Inutashio replied trying to defend himself, but a blush formed lightly on his cheeks nonetheless. "You know, you just pick the one time that company's over to start hitting all the right spots." Izayoi said, what was meant to be to herself, aloud. Inutashio raised an eyebrow in amusement and smiled. "W-what?" Izayoi asked, trying to act very nonchalant about what she just expressed. Inutashio continued to smile as he closed the distance between them. "Hey, hey, hey! What do you think you're doing?" Izayoi asked, just as Inutashio began wrapping his arms around her waist. "What do you think you're doing?" Izayoi asked trying to keep her voice as level as possible. "Mmm did I ever tell you how absolutely amazing you smell?" Inutashio asked burying his nose in her neck. Izayoi giggled lightly. "That tickles, you know." "Oh really, well then I'll make sure to take a note of that." Inutashio teased pressing his lips lightly against hers. Minutes seemed like hours, holding onto each other possessively. Inutashio broke away first and walked towards Izayoi's bedroom door. "W-w-where are you going?" Izayoi asked gulping. He turned around and smiled. "Downstairs, to wait for that guy to leave. You coming?" He asked holding out his hand. She pouted in disappointment. "I guess so."
"Well, it's all finished. The bill should be in the mail in the next week or so." The bald man informed Izayoi while walking out the door. "Bye, thank you!" Izayoi called after him as he walked to his white and green company van parked outside her house. Closing the door and making sure to lock it, Izayoi looked around for her kare-shi. Poking her head in the kitchen and the family room, she found he wasn't either. "Inutashio! Hey don't hide, where'd you go?" Izayoi whined walking through her family's long and erratic hallway. "Inu!" She whined. She felt someone behind her and spun around to see her grinning kare-shi. "Hey." Inutashio said. "Where'd you go?" Izayoi asked pouting. "No where in particular. Was waiting for you." Izayoi smiled and embraced her extremely well built koi bito. Izayoi leaned her head into his chest and inhaled his wonderfully manly scent. "Do I smell good?" He whispered in her ear. "Maybe." She whispered back licking her lips and lifting her lips towards his. Running the tip of her tongue over Inutashio's bottom lip, Izayoi could feel the adrenaline racing through her as her heart beat faster and faster. The two of them were both so engrossed with each other; neither of them heard the car pull in the driveway, or the sound of the front door being unlocked from the outside.
"Izayoi! Honey! We're home!" At the sound of her mothers voice, Izayoi pulled away from Inutashio, brushed back her hair and turned to face the from door, where her mother was struggling to get through the door with her suitcase. "Oh, hello I didn't know you were just standing—WOW! Whatta a hunk!" Izayoi's mother exclaimed looking Inutashio up and down. "Mom!" Izayoi scolded. "Who is this positively gorgeous boy?" Her mom questioned stepping towards the two. "Hello Mrs. Takouyoi, my name is Inutashio Takashi." Inutashio smiled as he shook her hand. Izayoi's mother smiled at his manners. "Lovely to meet you Inutashio, I can tell why Izayoi absolutely loves being around you." Izayoi's mother complimented. Izayoi just stood there awkwardly blushing furiously. Inutashio just smiled and replied. "I love being around Izayoi." "Inutashio, would you mind helping up bring in the bags from the car?" Mrs. Takouyoi asked pointing to the door. "If you do then maybe I can get started on some dinner." "Sure." Thanks a lot." Mrs. Takouyoi replied heading towards the kitchen, winking and whispering to her daughter as she passed, "Quite a catch Izayoi."
"WOW! Holy jeez Izayoi! Who is this?" Setsuki demanded standing besides the family's silver SUV. "I'm Inutashio. Who are you?" Inutashio asked the curious twelve-year-old, circling him and jumping up to poke his biceps. "I'm Setsuki, and wow you're really buff!" Setsuki exclaimed. "Who's really buff?" A voice from the backseat of the vehicle asked. "Inutashio is! Come look at this guy, he's HUGE!" Setsuki replied starting to get excited. The side of the truck door opened, "Who's Inutashio, I've never heard that name " She gaped before sliding over and linking arms with Inutashio. "I'M AZUMI! I'm presuming you're Inutashio." Azumi said batting her eyes." Umm… Hi Azumi, sorry but I'm" Inutashio was cut off by Izayoi, who stepped out from behind him. "Azumi step away, he's taken." "Aww no fair!" Azumi whined. "Why'd you have to go out and get such a hot boyfriend, just to make me jealous!" Azumi complained. "I don't love him because he's hot! And you make it sound as if I went out and bought him!" Izayoi shot back. "You two love each other? Even more unfair!" Azumi cried grabbing a bag from the trunk and tossing it over her shoulder. "Besides, if you could buy a hottie like that I'd be first one in line." Azumi mumbled walking into the house. Inutashio just stood there, thoroughly amused that Izayoi was fighting off her sister to be with him, not as if he would trade being with her, for another girl.
Grabbing some large paraphernalia from the trunk, Inutashio felt a pair of eyes on him. He looked down to see Setsuki beaming at him. He smiled back and asked, "What is it?" "How long do you work out for?" Setsuki asked jumping up onto the back bumper of the car. "Umm… I'm not too sure." "One hour, two hours! How many push-ups can you do in a minute? 80? 90? 100!" Setsuki practically yelled. "Umm, I'm not entirely." "How much can you bench press?" "I'm I don't know actually." "Wanna find out?" Setsuki asked anxiously. Setsuki, leave him alone." Izayoi reprimanded grabbing a bag and heading back into the house. "Maybe later, I think we should help." Inutashio said pulling out the bags and walking towards the house. "Hey wait!" Setsuki called after him. "Help me!" He called. Inutashio looked back and Setsuki was on top of the SUV. "Setsuki, get down, that's dangerous!" Inutashio chided. "Will you catch me?" Setsuki asked edging towards the side of the vehicle. "Don't Setsuki!" "Come on, it'll be fun!" Setsuki called. "No, it won't not if you get hurt, now get down before I have to go and get your sister." Inutashio threatened turning to walk back in the house. "No, don't wait! I'll get in trouble. Fine, I'll get off. Just help me down would ya?" "Fine." Inutashio replied dropping the bags and walking back towards him. "Gotcha! You better catch me!" Setsuki yelled jumping into the air, falling off the truck. Inutashio ran forward and caught the boy in his arms. "SETSUKI!" Inutashio scolded. "What if you got really hurt! What would I have told your mom! 'Oh sorry Mrs. Takouyoi but your son broke his leg because he wanted to see how much I could lift!' You've gotta be more careful!" Inutashio scolded. "…That was amazing you lifted me right up, and not to mention how fast you run! I mean you caught 75 pounds in mid-air, running. Wow! I want to grow up to be just like you!" Setsuki grinned looking down at his newfound hero. "What are you two boys doing? Hurry up and get inside, dinners ready." Izayoi's younger sister Azumi informed poking her head out the door. Inutashio gently put Setsuki back on the ground and picked up the bags, once again, and walked into the house. Setsuki ran behind him to close the truck door, then ran inside after him.
Stepping into the kitchen Inutashio picked up the most wonderfully mélange of scents. "Mrs. Takouyoi, where should I put these bags?" He asked Izayoi's mother, who was busily rummaging through cupboards pulling out spices. "If you wouldn't mind, could you take them upstairs?" She asked kindly. "Sure." Inutashio nodded heading towards the stairs.
Walking through the hall upstairs Inutashio saw Azumi fly out of her room, swipe her bag out of Inutashio's hands and scurry back into her room, closing the door behind her. Inutashio put the other bags down in a corner of the hall. Quietly walking over to Izayoi's already opened door; he peeked his head inside the doorway and saw her searching around the room for something. She had already looked in her dresser drawer and was now, was opening her closet and reaching up to the top shelf.
'Stupid thing! Why did I put it all the way up here in the first place?' Izayoi asked herself trying to make herself as tall as possible. Fighting with a very large, and very heavy box, Izayoi lost the battle and was waiting for it to topple down on top of her head, when someone reached out from behind her and grabbed the box before it had an opportunity to land on her head. She looked back to reward her hero. Izayoi turned around and smiled. "Thanks, my kare-shi." "No problem, I like saving damsels in distress from falling objects." Inutashio smirked. "Well you better not save any more 'damsels.' Izayoi teased kissing him lightly on the cheek. Taking the box out of Inutashio's hand and dumping the contents out on her bed, Izayoi was disappointed not to find what she was looking for. "What are you looking for?" Inutashio asked wrapping his arms around her after she plunked down on the bed in frustration. "You'll see, soon enough. That is if I ever locate where I put it." Izayoi replied turning to face Inutashio. Inutashio leaned forward to place a kiss on her lips, when… "Izayoi! Inutashio! Dinner's ready!" Izayoi's mother called from downstairs. Izayoi smiled and took his hand as they walked into the kitchen.
"Smells good mom." Izayoi said taking a seat at the kitchen table. "Well thank you dear, I just hope it tastes good. It is kind of last minute." "Inutashio, sit down." Izayoi instructed to the still standing Inutashio. He nodded and sat in the chair next to his koi bito.
"SETSUKI!" Dinner's ready! Where did that boy go to anyway?" Izayoi's mother muttered to herself as she walked to the base of the staircase. "Setsuki, if you don't get down here right now I'm going to sell your food to the highest bidder!" She threatened. Like a flash, Setsuki bolted down the stairs and was seated at the table. "Finally." Mrs. Takouyoi sighed sitting down with her children. "So Inutashio, is your house anything like this?" Mrs. Takouyoi asked casually serving out the food. "No, not really it's just me and my dad." Inutashio replied taking a plate from her. "This looks really good." Inutashio said looking over the dish. "Don't be so modest. If you try something that you don't like, then please don't eat it." Inutashio nodded.
Izayoi's mother suddenly gasped. "I completely forgot! Inutashio, you should call you father and let him know where you are." I'm certain that he's terribly worried by now." She said glancing at the clock; it was after six. "Oh, he's not home. He's away on a business trip, so it'll be just me for a while." Inutashio replied cleaning the last bits of food off his plate. "Oh…That doesn't bother you?" Mrs. Takouyoi asked curiously. "No, not really. Sure it gets lonely sometimes, but nothing I'm not used to." "If you don't mind me asking, how long is he gone for." Mrs. Takouyoi asked leaning forward on the table. "Well, he's been gone for a few days already, so just under two weeks now." "Hmm…" Izayoi looked over to her mother and could practically see the wheels in her head turning. "I've got it!" Mrs. Takouyoi suddenly exclaimed suddenly. "Got what mom?" Setsuki asked. "You should stay here!" Her mom said beaming at her sudden revelation. Izayoi looked up at Inutashio, who looked very surprised and confused. "Huh?" He said finally. "Well now that we're practically family it'll make no difference. You should live here until your father returns from his trip." Mrs. Takouyoi explained. "I'm sorry, but I have to decline." Inutashio replied. "Why not?" Azumi demanded, disappointed that she may not be able to have a sexy guy living under her roof for two weeks. "Yeah, why not?" Izayoi asked placing her hand over Inutashio's. "Mrs. Takouyoi, thank you very much, but I could never impose on your family for two weeks." "Inutashio, I invite you to stay in my house for as long as you like, and if you refuse my request to stay here than I shall be extremely insulted." Izayoi's mother finished. Inutashio gulped. "Well…I…" "You may make your final decision while Izayoi walks you to your house to pick up your stuff. I'm sorry Inutashio, but frankly you have no say in the matter, its four against one." Mrs. Takouyoi smiled as she began to clear the dishes off the table.
"Well mom, I must say that was a…different way to invite someone to stay the night." Izayoi whispered to her mother as she grabbed her sweater from the laundry room. "Invite? I didn't invite him. He never had a choice to start with." Izayoi's mother replied smiling. "I love you mom." Izayoi smiled back. "Oh this makes me so happy! Now I don't have to worry about you going out by yourself, because you'll be with that charming young man!" Mrs. Takouyoi squealed happily. Izayoi stifled back a laugh. "Alright mom, we better get going, see you soon." Izayoi said walking towards the front door, where Inutashio was waiting patiently for her. "Oh Inutashio don't forget that I'll do your wash, so there's no need for you to bring too many clothes!" Her mother called as they went out the door.
Izayoi and Inutashio were both speechless for a few minutes before Inutashio broke the silence. "What, just happened?" "Let's see. You're being forced to stay at my house for the next two weeks by my over excited mother, and now we are walking towards your house to pick up your materials, that you'll need, for the next two weeks. I think that covers it all." Izayoi responded. "I'm really sorry you know. If you really don't want to stay then I'll just go back home, and tell me mom" Inutashio cut her off. "What you don't want me staying at your house?" "No, I just thought that" "What was it someone told me once?" Izayoi looked at him curiously. "Don't think, just act, was that it?" He leaned down and placed a light kiss on her lips. "Besides, now this means I get to see you all day, every day. No escaping me Izayoi." He teased wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
