Wolve's Pride

Izo Part 9

There's something about Ikyo that's lonely. The same loneliness as me. I hope we can get along but he seems to have a wall, a barrier.

Later everyone arrived and they were shocked to see Ikyo but it didn't look like it was in a good way. Did they not like Ikyo. Ichiro came over to me full of joy in a sing songy voice. "~Hello, Yuki~"

I look behind me and it was Ikyo just staring at me like he was confused. He then looked to Ichiro and was angry. Ikyo grasped my arm firmly. "I'm going to walk you home today okay?"

I take it back he's nothing like me. "Who the hell do you think you are?" He didn't even look angry when I said this. He just snickered. I hate him. "I don't care what you say I'm going to do it anyway." He then stuck his tongue out in a childish manner.

He doesn't seem to like Ichiro and it's kind of funny to watch them quarrel but I eventually break them up.

Time skip:After school:

Ikyo decides to walk me home even though I didn't really want him to but I guess I should try to be polite at least but he's so irritating. " Why aren't you the talker?" he said to me sarcastically "Oh, shut up."

He laughs.

I start shivering. I didn't know it was meant to be this cold. Ikyo looked alarmed for the faintest second. " What was he thinking about?" He then looked at me slowly and notices me staring at him and he smiles and I get flustered but it's hard to tell because the cold made my cheeks red anyway.

"You cold?"He asks strangely, with full sincerity. I said nothing and tried to act like I wasn't so he wouldn't say anything like he usually does.

To my surprise he took his coat off and offered it to me whilst not looking. "Take it. It'll help." I smiled at him and said thanks but it wasn't long until he went back to his regular self. "But--Don't Expect me to constantly be nice." But this time I forgive him and I chuckle ever so slightly and he looks at me confused. "What are you laughing at?!"

"Nothing." As we continued to walk, I started to wonder if there's a different side to him, a kinder side and the thought of this made me smile. We were almost there and our long silence was disturbed by a sudden howl. Ikyo stopped and looked alarmed again.

"Will you be alright on your own? There's something I need to take care of." I nodded. I wonder is Ikyo a wolf as well but he seems to keep a lot of things to himself. Perhaps I should follow him.
