This is a new story but its actually one of my oldest; it's been in hibernation in my computer files for a while now, so depending on how people respond, I'll choose to put more chapters up and maybe even finish the story. I like this one. Lots of kissing, short chapters, its nice.
Kaiba walked down the dark street alone. He had many places that he liked to think, one of which was an alley not too far from a building that was just opened. He wasn't exactly sure what it was and to be honest, he really didn't care. Those days, he had too much to think about, especially with the whole past life crap and then the Noah shit. Also, Ishizu had been staying over at his place and as much as he hated to say it, she had gotten to him. He just needed somewhere to think.
It was bitter cold that night so Kaiba decided to turn back and do his thinking on the way home. He stopped to turn up his collar and tug his sleeves when he heard something. Kaiba turned his head in the direction the noise came from to see what looked like a homeless girl, slightly younger than him. She was a complete wreck. Her hair was wild, her skin was discolored in some areas, and it looked as though she had been running. She looked scared and it seemed like she was having trouble breathing.
"Please," the girl said in a soft voice, hardly audible over her own harsh breathing. "Please help me." Kaiba slowly backed away from the girl. She might have been pretty at one time but the purple and black around her lips and neck seemed like a good enough reason to keep his distance. Tears formed in the girl's eyes. "No, no, please don't leave me. They wanna kill me. I need your help." Still not wanting to get too close, he leaned in slightly.
"Are you okay?" Kaiba looked puzzled at the possibly deranged young woman.
"I'll be fine if you just do me this one favor, just one, please." Tears continued to fill her eyes and it was getting harder to understand what she was saying.
"Fine just leave me alone …" with that the girl lunged at Kaiba with all her strength and kissed him ferociously. Kaiba quickly pulled her away, tossing her on the cold hard ground. She seemed unable to get up, but threw a small bag by his feet before he walked away.
"Thank you. Please take these. You're going to need them soon." Kaiba poked at the bag with his foot, his curiosity getting the best of him, finding a few small bottles of a yellow liquid and many needles.
"What the hell is this?" The girl took a bottle and needle she had for herself and injected it into her wrist as she tried to explain. She was looking better already.
"You've been infected with a newly engineered parasitic disease, nicknamed Romeo + Juliet. You see it is transplanted into a person's mouth and will kill the host after a while. The only way to save yourself is to kiss someone, transferring it to someone else, and take that yellow stuff there." Kaiba didn't look at all amused.
"Whatever." He started to walk away when the girl surprised him again by bouncing up and shoving the bag in his face.
"Please, just take it. I don't want you to die because of me." Kaiba pushed her out of his way. He didn't have time to listen to the deranged homeless girls dumb stories.
"Weirdo."
By the time Kaiba got back home, it was 2:00 am. "Everyone should be asleep." He thought to himself, as he quickly slipped in so as not to wake anyone. He took off his shoes and edged up the stairs. As he passed by the guest room, he couldn't help but think again. For the past two weeks, there had been people he never would have thought residing in his mansion. Those people were Ishizu and Marik Ishtar and their servant Odion. It was all Mokuba's fault. They were going to rent out a hotel while Ishizu finished her work at the museum but Mokuba insisted on them staying with the two of them for some reason.
As he rounded the corner of the hallway, he saw a dim light coming from his room. Kaiba figured that Ishizu had probably waited for him. It wouldn't be surprising. He and her were secretly seeing each other. That was the main reason for his little walk that night. He opened the door and walked inside, greeted by the sight of Ishizu lying in bed next to Mokuba, both were fast asleep.
"Well, that's something new."
Kaiba hung his coat in the closet and went into the bathroom. After throwing his clothes into the laundry, with the exception of his dark blue (extremely comfortable) underwear, he brushed his teeth and was about to head for bed when he remembered the crazy woman who kissed him on the street. Kaiba turned the faucet back on and brushed again. Having thoroughly cleaned his mouth, he pulled out the mouthwash and gargled. Swishing the intense green liquid in his mouth, he could see the two in his bed in the mirror. They looked so loving and beautiful, like a mother and child. His wife and their child.
Kaiba spit out the mouthwash. "What the fuck was that?" Did he just think about Ishizu having his children? About them being married? Kaiba turned to look at them again. Oh hell no, this chick had to go!
He walked over to his bed stopping short of the sleeping intruders. Mokuba seemed so much younger and innocent curled up with her. His wild raven hair and small face being subconsciously stroked by the gentle elegant fingers belonging to Ishizu. And what more of she? A mystery wrapped in a fine female shape, with long, black, flowing, silken hair and tanned skin. Even as she slept, she seemed both motherly and as delicate as a porcelain doll with –Holy Shit! Was he just doing poetry? It was time to shatter the moment. Kaiba roughly nudged her awake. (If you consider practically slapping her around a type of nudge.) Ishizu lazily opened one eye to see who had waken her. Seeing whom it was she closed it again.
"Ishizu get out." Kaiba said in a low rough voice.
"No thank you Seto." She answered sleepily.
"That wasn't a suggestion." Kaiba leaned in closer so he wouldn't have to raise his voice.
"We're comfortable and warm here already."
"We'll you'd better get comfortable in your bed because I'm sleeping here."
"Seto, you can't sleep here with me. Marik would start wondering and you know how he gets." Fed up, Kaiba grabbed a pillow and blanket from his closet mumbling under his breath. Before he stormed out, Ishizu signaled him over to her. He leaned over Mokuba to look at her face to face. "Don't be mad, it's the right thing." Ishizu kissed him. He kissed her back, lightly cupping her face with his hand, loosing himself for a moment. Hey, he couldn't even sleep in his own bed, why the hell not.
Unnoticed by either of them, Mokuba was listening in on the whole thing. Kaiba's nudging had waken him up as well. He tried not to smile and blow his cover.
Kaiba left the room turning off the light and closing the door behind him. With the click of the door shutting Kaiba realized something. If she was at all concerned about what her insane brother would think about them sleeping in the same room, she would have just left. And he had known this too. What the fuck?! He just gave up his bed! HIS BED! "Crazy Ishtar bitch!" he screamed in his mind. "It is so damn lucky my little brother is in there." Something came to mind. "Is that why he was in there in the first place?" There was no doubt that his was the most comfortable bed in the mansion. "That sneaky…" Kaiba continued to grumble all the way downstairs. He was not happy.
