Within the hour, Izayoi and Inutashio were back at the Takouyoi residence. Before Inutashio laid a hand on the doorknob to the front door, it was flung open and a very excited Setsuki greeted him. "YOU'RE BACK!" "Hi Setsuki." Inutashio replied with a smile. "I missed you!" Inutashio heard Azumi call from the kitchen. "Guess what Inutashio!" Setsuki exclaimed. "What?" "I'm gonna convince mom to let you stay in my room! Won't that be awesome? We can stay up late, have man to man talks, you can help me get super big muscles like yours, you can help me with your homework" Setsuki continued to yammer on as Inutashio leaned down and whispered in Izayoi's ear. "Is he always this…excited?" "Not always, he just looks up to you is all." Izayoi replied, "He just meet me, what, an hour ago." Inutashio exclaimed. "Hey! You listening?" Setsuki demanded. "Yup." Inutashio replied allowing himself to be dragged through the halls by the enthusiastic twelve year old. "Mom, Mom!" He called glancing into the kitchen. "In the laundry room dear." His mother called. Inutashio took a sideways glance for Izayoi but she was no where to be seen. "Mom!" "Setsuki!" His mother teased. "Can Inutashio stay in my room? Please, please, please!" He pleaded "I don't know, I think it would be best if he slept on the futon in the living room. He might get more sleep that way." Mrs. Takouyoi replied taking the clothes from the dryer and hanging them on hangers. "Aww, but mom!" "No, 'aww but mom.' Inutashio's in high school now, he needs his rest and so do you." She said handing Setsuki some clothes. "Now, put these away in you room please." Setsuki pouted and stormed out of the laundry room to his room. Mrs. Takouyoi smiled. "I hope sleeping in the living room won't be a problem?" She asked handing him some feminine clothes. "No, not at all, thank you for you kindness. Umm…what am I supposed to do with these?" Inutashio asked regarding the clothes. "Will you take them upstairs to Izayoi's room please?" "Oh, yes of course I will." He replied turning around and walking towards the stairs.
'I know I still have it! I didn't just throw it out, so where could it be?' Izayoi asked herself while tearing apart her room once again. After a few minutes without success she slumped to the floor and sighed heavily. "Penny for your thoughts?" Asked a voice from behind her. She smiled and scooted to turn towards the door. "Hey handsome." He blushed, and handed her the clothes, which she promptly got up to put away. However before she could sink back into the carpet she was greeted by those familiar hands wrapping themselves around her waist. She smiled and turned to face him. "Hi." She gazed into those beautiful golden orbs and lost herself in him.
Inutashio noticed this sudden eagerness every time Izayoi gazed into his eyes. He just looked straight back. 'She's so beautiful, I would be a fool to look away.' Izayoi leaned up and kissed him, and he leveled himself down more when he noticed that she was standing on the tips of her toes.
She kissed him with all her heart. It didn't matter where she was, she decided, as long as she was near him, everything would always be alright. Izayoi felt her heart pound against her chest as Inutashio deepened the kiss. She wanted so badly to be his, his forever. 'We can't. Not now, it's too soon.' Izayoi thought as she leaned into him. 'Wait, wait. We've got to wait. Your mothers right downstairs, and besides give it time.' Izayoi's thoughts reassured her. Izayoi broke away and muttered, "We can't." Inutashio looked at her. "Izayoi I wasn't planning on asking you to… well, you know." He replied honestly. "And I don't want to force you either, I would never do anything like that to you." Izayoi smiled and stroked his face with her hand. "Izayoi! Setsuki wants to know where you hid his idol and I need you to help me make up the futon down here." Mrs. Takouyoi called from the base of the stairs. "Alright mom, we'll be down in a second." "Okay, don't forget to bring down some blankets from the front hall closet when you're coming." Her mother reminded her. "Come on." Izayoi said leading him through the upstairs hall and Izayoi grabbed two big blankets out of the closet. She handed one to Inutashio and closed the door. Walking down the stairs Inutashio could already hear Setsuki. "Inutashio! Inutashio where are you?" He yelled. "He's not an animal." Izayoi scoffed at her younger brother. "What?" "You call him as if he's some type of pet. He's a person. Duh!" She sighed flicking her index finger at her brother's head. "I know that!" Setsuki quickly snapped back. Focusing his attention to Inutashio, Izayoi immediately noticed her brother's eyes change from angry to starry eyed. She rolled her eyes and strolled into the family room where her mother was already getting ready to pull out the couch. "Here Izayoi, Inutashio doesn't have time to be doing 'girl' things, he's gonna come outside and play basketball with me!" Setsuki announced tossing the blanket as his sister and dragging Inutashio outside by his hand. Inutashio turned around and mouthed "Help me!" to Izayoi. She just shrugged and broke into a smile.
Izayoi and her mother set up the futon quietly before her mother had to ask a valuable question. "So is he a good kisser?" "Mom!" "What? I have to know okay, a guy that good looking cannot be a bad kisser." Her mom replied trying to defend herself. "I don't believe you. Your acting like some type of hyped up curious school girl." Izayoi saw her mom pout. "I can't help it, I'm curious." Izayoi sighed. "You can't act like you haven't kissed him cause I know you have!" Her mother teased. "Yes, he is." Izayoi mumbled. "What's that? I can't hear you. You'll have to speak louder Izayoi." "Yes he is!" Izayoi replied louder. Her mom giggled. "Hey you should be proud of me! I'm not like those other mothers who would go berserk and force you to concentrate solely on your schoolwork if they ever caught you with a boy. I encourage you to have a love life, and trust you to make your own decisions." Izayoi smiled back, "I'm really lucked out to get a mother like you." "Yup!"
"Wow! You're really tall! How tall are you anyway?" Setsuki asked. "I'm not sure." "Do you drink lots of milk? My mom says if I wanna be really tall and really strong that I've gotta drink lots and lots of milk. It that true? How did you get so tall? Do you like playing basketball? If you don't we can play something else, we don't have to. Inutashio are you even listening to me?" Setsuki demanded. Inutashio looked longingly at the front door. He was listening to Setsuki, and he liked the kid, but he would much rather be spending time with Izayoi, but hey if playing with Izayoi's kid brother got extra brownie points then why not? "Basketballs good. Let's play." Inutashio replied ruffling Setsuki's hair.
Izayoi and her mother had finished making up the futon and Izayoi decided to check and see how Inutashio was handling her younger brother. Expecting the worse, Izayoi was surprised to see Inutashio engaged in a game of basketball with Setsuki. She giggled at the sight. Inutashio was so obviously holding back, allowing Setsuki to beat him, and Setsuki didn't even notice, he was just far too happy that someone was actually playing with him to notice.
Inutashio felt someone watching him. He passed the ball to Setsuki but as he turned around to look Setsuki passed it back to him, hitting his nose. Setsuki gasped and ran over to his idol who had blood coming from him nose. "Are you okay!" Setsuki asked frantically. Afraid that Izayoi would find out and forbid Inutashio from playing with him. "Did you break it?" Izayoi asked from the doorway. Inutashio bent over and moaned. Izayoi rushed over to his side. "Setsuki…never mind." Izayoi was going to scold him but decided against it. "Come on Inutashio, we'll put some ice on that." She guided him inside and sat him down on a chair. Izayoi first grabbed a Kleenex from the counter and wiped away the blood from his nose. Then went to the freezer for a cold pack. "Here you go." Izayoi said pressing the pack gently against his nose. Setsuki stood near the corner of the room looking very, very distressed. Inutashio noticed this out of the corner of his eye. "I'm alright Setsuki, its just a little blood, nothing to worry about." He said smiling. Izayoi continued to press the cold pack on the bridge of him nose. "Setsuki I think you should go to your room for a bit." Izayoi said to her brother. "Okay." He replied quietly. When he was gone Izayoi asked, "Are you alright?" "Yes of course like I said, no big deal. Besides I got distracted." "By what?" Izayoi asked removing the cold pack and feeling the bridge of Inutashio's nose with the tip of her finger. "The most beautiful woman I've ever seen." Inutashio replied smiling. Izayoi blushed and asked, "Does it hurt." "Not really, but you know what might make it feel better?" What?" He smiled as he leaned forward placing a kiss on her mouth.
She leaned forward, dropping the cold pack on the floor in the process. "If only this was the medicine to heal all life's contusions." She mumbled while placing small kisses on his neck. "Ilove itwhen you do that." Inutashio moaned regarding the trail of kisses Izayoi was making along his neck. Izayoi giggled but didn't stop; she was then only to be interrupted by her mother. "Izayoi, there's someone at the door for you!" Calling from the front door. "I'll be right back." Izayoi said to Inutashio.
Walking to the door Izayoi tried to figure out who it was but the door wasn't open wide enough for her to see. She got to the front door and pulled it open. "Izayoi, baby!"
