A Slice To Go

~ Chapter Five~

Unknown Familar Circumstances

By Inuyashas Youkai

The next thing that Isu knew, was a force rushing at him , unexpectantly in a colorless blur , one undistinguishable between them, and suddenenly pusing him against his will, and forcing his weight to collide against the hard surface , that later found to be one of the porch's pillars ..

Though within his mind the experiance reminded him of something familar , one that caused the same effects of being slammed against something hard, removing his breath, the pain that formed afterward, and the knowing curses arising from it , but to him this was something different although it was recalled that the very same result happened once in this very place somehow..

How that could happen again , in a place he'd never been...

One could only know , but he didn't , not yet anyway ..

Though something inside told him that he needed to ,and soon felt he was going to find out , why?

Soon , a voice accompanied that force , and one that shared with the one before it held a pecular flicker of a familar taunt , but for the life of Isu , had no idea.

"Look ya Bastard ! You Tell Tanaka , and that boss of her's that I said 'No More '! I don't know what Tanaka did to her but it wont happen again , I promise you! " Kouta stated angrilly.

"Hold it ! I am not here on their behalf ! I am here on my own choosing , not of Tanaka 's , or my brother's .. Is she okay ?" Isu questioned , not particurlary liking this man knowing such much about Kayame , that he didn't for some reason.

" Shintaro , Kouta , what's going on here? Oh hello, Isu .. What are you doing here ? How did you, find..?" Kayame question, confusedly to what was going on.

" I only wanted to stop by, and check on you , after your nasty fall tonight, and to ask if we could talk privately .. I have something to ask you , that I wasn't able to before you left..?" Isu hesantly spoke , not liking the way talking to him made him fell so...

Strange

"Um sure ... I guess ...? Although I wouldn't have a clue , as to what , because we had only met , unless it was something bad , or wait ! Your not here cause of that of Sho , or Tanaka are you?"

" No ... I wouldn't do shit for my bastard brother , or that of that creepy Tanaka .. I was merely surprised how you could be around either one for so much length of time because I had to live with one of them ..Hmmmph!"Isu grumped without hearing the shocked expression from her taken in the strangely percular look in his eyes as he spoke this ..

As it somehow reminded her of something else from ,maybe a forgotten memory..

But what was it , but the time she thought further on a image it sparked within her mind it was gone as fast as it had came.

"Well then come inside for a moment , while I change out of these clothes , and then you and I could maybe take a walk?" Kayame offered .

"Good To Me !" Isu cheered suddenly feeling elated somehow , as to her acceptance in wanting to see him , without knowing why , and causing the others to look at him as though he had grown a second head, oblivious to Kayame.

The four of them them entered , ignoring the muffled whine from one , as they walked inside , separating, and then the female amongst them , soon departed.

Once Kayame , came rushing down the stairs , and stumbled down on the last few , Isu quickly , without intentionally knowing , stood to catch her , and before then righting her again on her feet , as it felt it was supposed to be , sort of like something he had done before..

But .. That could be I only just met this bitch ..How could I feel like this , like I have known her my whole life , or close to it..

Smiling brightly , Kayame nodded her thanks before grabbing Isu's hand , and pulling him forward, willingly , as though he was a puppy on a leash out the door...

There it is again , the beautiful smile , I only rememeber seeing once before , and taking my breath away like it had so long ago , but when .. I don't recall ever seeing it before , or her , in my life ...

Slowing down slightly , after seeing the odd look on Isu's face , as thought they both appeared to be only relaxing , just walking alongst the shrine grounds , on the outside, but within things weren't okay , something was wrong to the both of them..

"So how long have you lived here ?" Isu asked , while pullilng her to stop , and look at him , so her could watch her answer the question.

One that he would guessed along time, or at least that's what his thoughts were telling him, but it was weird, different , as though he knew that even though she might have been here along time , but just not how he had now pictured it.

"For as long as I could remember .. Why?" Kayame stated truthfully , as her eyes soon met violet eyes , and oddly expecting piercing ambers.

"Um .. Kayame ... This may sound crazy , but I feel this .. Feeling whenever I am around you somehow... Have we met?" Isu hesitantly asked ...

"Hahahahaha ..No I don't think so , somehow maybe I shouldn't be telling you this, seeing that we just met ,but something tells me I should... "

"What's that ? I won't bite , hard , Kayame , unless you want me too.."

"Funny!"

"Seriously , what is it..?"

" Though I don't think we've met , because I don't , but then again .. I don't recall with any real clarity , anything that happened prior to three years ago.."

"I'am sorry ... Damn that sucks .. What happened?"

"Wow ! Aren't we nosey ! Althought joking aside , truth is I don't remember .. I 'am sorry ..."

"Look I know that we kinda had a rough start but I wanted to know if ya know we could be friends , ya know... Start over ?"

No matter if I remember her , I do know just by the feelings that I get that she needs me , and needs to be protected somehow , but from what?

"Id' like that , but I am afriad that some would have a fit if they knew .."

I don't know what is but...Something is telling me to trust him , but why..

" Your talking about Tanaka , aren't you?"

"Yes ..Maybe ..No , look I don't know.. "

"Kayame , you don't have to answer , if you don't want ...But who is Tanaka to you?" Isu croaked with unknown emotion ..
