I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
you've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

Maya, Kurama's on and off girlfriend for a year now, never questioned his peculiar habits or his unusual actions. She never asked why he would just grab her and kiss her in class where everyone could see or why these kisses would be so long and passionate. Or at least she thought so.
But she never asked why.
She had always thought his actions were endearing, how he would phase out and lose himself in his thoughts. It was cute whenever he inquired about her friends because it showed that he cared.
But she did find it odd that he showed so much interest in a close friend of hers.
Kagome Higurashi.
She was a fair skinned beauty with gorgeous, clear blue eyes and luscious, black hair. Maya had always been secretly jealous of the girl's unique looks, especially those eyes of hers. The wide, innocent eyes reflected such depth and emotion that there had always been a jealous twinge deep inside her. But she was such a sweet girl that she could never hate her. Kind, voice never raised, Kagome was a petite angel who glowed among the other girls. But even though Maya harbored some jealousy, she knew that she had one thing that Kagome most definitely didn't.
She had Shuiichi Minamino.
He was sex on legs and he was all hers. He was handsome when they were younger and he had only grown to be more good looking. She had harbored some feelings for him in the past but they had been separated and she had lost contact as well as any feelings that she had. But an accidental meeting in their college class had awakened what she had thought long gone. So she fell for him again. Hard.
After two months of friendly conversation and casual dates, they were officially a couple. He doted on her like a good boyfriend would, and he was a perfect gentleman. But he was always a little reserved, a little too polite, and she never felt like she saw the real side to Shuiichi Minamino. But she brushed it off as how he was. She was confident that she could never change who he was but as long as she still loved him, it didn't matter.
Today was their one year anniversary.
They were meeting at a small café, right by the university. It was well priced and the place of their first date. Maya had thought that it'd be appropriate.
She sat in the cushioned booth, waiting patiently for Shuiichi. She had arrived a bit early, a little eager for their celebration.
A little chime sounded and she looked up. Shuiichi entered through the door, pushing the heavy oak effortlessly. He was dressed neatly in a pair of pressed khaki slacks and a wrinkle-free dark green shirt that complimented his eyes.
His eyes caught hers and a little smile made its way onto his face. He walked over, politely ignoring the many stares that he garnered. Maya felt a little pride settle in her. This fine man was hers.
All hers.
He sat down and leaned over to give her a peck on the cheek. She blushed a pretty pink like she always did.
A door chimed again and this time both looked up. Kagome Higurashi entered through the door, struggling a little with the door. Maya brightened and quickly waved her over.
Kagome crossed the café and reached their booth, grinning a wide grin while a small amount of surprise was present on her face.
"Maya! Shuiichi! I didn't expect to see you guys here!" exclaimed Kagome, cheeks flushed from running to the café apparently. She worked there on the weekends in order to get extra cash to help her family. Her grandfather had been placed in the hospital after being diagnosed with life threatening cancer and she worked to help with the medical bills. "What are you two doing here?"
"Oh, well me and Shuiichi here are celebrating our one year anniversary!" Maya said with a cheerful smile.
"Wow! That's incredible how long you two have been together! I don't think I'd be in a relationship for that long," she said with a slightly embarrassed air around her. "Well, I have to go work now! I don't want to be late and I'm pretty sure my shift starts in a couple of minutes. See you around!"
Maya waved as the girl disappeared behind the door to the kitchen while Shuiichi had nodded his head.
Smiling contently, Maya turned to her partner. "Such a sweet girl right Shuiichi?"
He merely nodded his head and smiled indulgently at his girlfriend.
And she remained oblivious to the thoughts in his head.
Kagome had appeared once again while Maya and Shuiichi were eating their food with the standard uniform on. She had donned a black dress shirt with the cuffs rolled up and tight, black skinny jeans. A bright red tie was lay against her chest, next to the golden nametag that was pinned on her left. He hair was tied up rather messily but Shuiichi admired how few hairs curled against her neck, giving her an adorable look.
Maya was oblivious to his infatuation.
The poor love sick girl never noticed how he'd spend time in class to stare at the pretty Kagome, eyes roving over her features, obsessively committing them to memory so he could pour over them like notes that were worth studying. He had met Kagome before he was reunited with Maya. Even though his infatuation with the petite beauty was great, he had agreed to become Maya's boyfriend.
Why?
He was a selfish person. He couldn't have Kagome but he still needed someone to have. Just for the sake of having. So Maya came along, a grown woman who had matured greatly, and Kagome seized the chance, regardless of his feelings for her. And he remained faithful to her, never straying and never doing anything to upset her.
Except that little fascination with Miss Higurashi.
He would have fantasies which involved him and the enticing vixen in various amorous situations. More often than not, he would accidently go off on these fantasies in the presence of his very own girlfriend. But she never noticed. And if she did, she never said anything.
He would go to great lengths to get the miss to notice him, whether or not Maya was there or not. In class, he would impulsively grab Maya and kiss her hard, just because that would catch Kagome's attention. And he would kiss her for a long time, all the while keeping his eyes trained on dark haired girl.
She wouldn't notice though because he hid it so well. With eyes barely open, only small slivers of green could be seen. But that was more than enough for him to observe her reactions as he played Maya along with his sensual lips. She would always gasp in surprise, turn a pale shade of pink before averting her head, cheeks gradually getting darker. Then, Shuiichi would pull away from his girlfriend who would be nothing more than a pile of goo at his feet.
And Maya would never know.
Staring at the woman across him, he had to admit that Maya was indeed very pretty. Full red lips accentuated by the pale skin of the face with a healthy blush across her cheeks. But as pretty as she was, she could not be compared to the vision that was Kagome. She did not hold the natural grace that his Kagome held, having the awkwardness that all humans seemed to possess. Not that he was saying Kagome was inhuman. No, he knew she was human. He knew she was a miko. Ah, pardon, a permanent miko in training. While she had some abilities that fully trained mikos possessed, she still lacked much training and seeing as she was too old to start, she would forever be untrained.
That little tidbit of information only further increased his fixation. She was a possible danger to his well being but that excited him more than anything else could. He was a thief but he didn't seek treasures, no, he sought after the rush, the thrill, and the danger that the theft would provide.
And Miss Higurashi did just that.
The thought of defiling such a pure soul, in mind and body, made a feeling of excitement course through his body. He would make her crave his body, his attention, and he would gladly give it. She would cry his name night after night and would revel in it. There was something about tainting a holy follower that seemed so appealing to him.
Maya happily sighed and set down her eating utensils. A pleased smile curved her lips and he asked for the bill. Inwardly he smiled as he paid the bill. Maya had always been considerate towards him and he had known her reason for choosing the café. Not only was it the place of their first date, it was a nice, quaint place that did not ask too much for money. He appreciated places like these where the atmosphere was quiet relaxing. The fact that Kagome worked there was just a bonus. But not a bonus that he didn't take full advantage of. Unbeknownst to Maya, he often spent evenings here making idle chatter with Kagome, using that time to learn more about the priestess.
Maya cleared her throat softly, "Shuiichi, I want you to know that even after a year, I still love you."
He smiled and lowered his eyelashes. "I love you too."
He leaned over to give her a kiss, knowing full well that a certain girl watching from not far away. Pressing his lips against Maya's he kept his eyes wide open.
As he indulged his girlfriend in a soft, warm kiss, he kept his eyes trained on Kagome.
She made eye contact, pretty blue eyes widening in shock and pink lips parted. His vibrant green eyes darkened with lust, boring into hers. Kagome froze and continued to watch in sick fascination.
He pressed harder against Maya but kept his eyes on Kagome's, making sure that Kagome knew full well what he wanted to do to her.
Kagome could feel shivers run up her spine at Shuiichi's smoldering gaze. His eyes had filled with what she assumed to be lust. But not towards Maya but towards her. Heat pooled in the bottom of her stomach and by the time Shuiichi pulled away from his girlfriend, Kagome was gasping for breath, unaware that she had been holding it.
The couple stood and began walking towards the door and Kagome focused on her task at hand. But she couldn't help glancing up at the man. He opened the door for Maya, ever the gentleman, and exited through it himself. But before he went through, he sent one last look over his shoulder, making sure to have enough heat and want in them to make Kagome's knees weak.
A smirk found its place on his handsome face as he exited through the door.
Kagome Higurashi was going to be his no matter what it took.
His.
