Black Rain 7.
"I've never had to do this before Seto...what we just did was unethical, I can't keep you as a patient. It'll be an impediment," she muttered in a sad, low tone. Kaiba rolled his eyes considering her words nonsense.
"A lot of things we just did were unethical but that doesn't mean shit. How can you be so quick to judge it as an impediment? Wouldn't you see it more as a gesture of trust? I know you're a pretty poor therapist, but I'm not starting over, you're stuck with me Kisara," he stated proudly. He enjoyed watching her discontent as he backed her into corners. Another drag, another plume of smoke and another thought passed.
"Explain why it's a gesture of trust," she demanded, ashing her smoke. Seto collapsed back on the pillow and ran his hand through his troublesome brown hair. He scowled at the demand and crossed his arms defiantly.
"Because I'm trusting you not to ruin my reputation, I'm trusting you with a secret and I'm trusting that you see this for what it is and nothing more. You should know its quite difficult to get into my bed," he remarked before he realized it had been her bed and he should have phrased himself better.
"They're going to take away my license," she murmured offhandedly. He rolled his eyes and scoffed at her worry. Were all women so dramatic?
"Nothing is going to happen as long as you keep quiet." he reiterated. She shook her head and crushed out her cigarette.
"I can't remain a neutral party in your therapy if we're having sex, it creates a bias and that won't help you Seto," she said tactfully.
"Only if you're stupid and invest your emotions in it. This wasn't about emotions, Kisara." She looked at him with a blank stare and took a deep breath.
"Then, what was it?" she asked. His blue eyes glinted with annoyance. He didn't want to deal with all the questions, he wanted to go to sleep.
"Nothing but physical interaction, physical want and desire," he answered. Rubbing his eyes he let out a fatigued yawn and waited for her response.
"So physical attraction played a part in what just happened?" she asked in the same voice she used for therapy. He grit his teeth, balling his fists angrily.
"Would you shut up! This is not a fucking therapy session. I swear I will go sleep outside if that's what it takes to get some quiet," he barked. She laughed at him, while his scowl deepened. Then she slapped him roughly.
"You don't yell at me in my own house. It's rude. Have some manners," she scolded. Dumbfounded and speechless he quickly tried to pull thoughts together to retaliate. Lightening struck outside and the wind intensified, reminding them of the drear that was happening outside.
"You threw manners out the window when you decided to use my back as a scratching post," he spat. His ego and pride stung worse than his cheek. She rolled her eyes and began to comb her long white hair with her hands.
"You liked it. Can you honestly look at me and tell you didn't?" she quipped. Pulling her hair over her shoulder she braided it loosely. Kaiba fumbled over his words, taking extra care to think thoroughly before he spoke. He felt like he needed to walk on eggshells.
"No, but that's beside the point. You do it again and I'm going to spank you and I spank harder than you slap," he bragged. Her pink lips shifted into a soft smile before she once again outwitted him.
"Now I'm looking forward to it, you should have just surprised me. Now, where's my clothes?" He pointed to the floor on the side of the bed. Fluidly she crawled out of bed, and when she bent over he leaned across and spanked her hard enough she lost her balance and landed on the floor in a pale, naked pile.
"What the hell?" He grinned with accomplishment and sat back proudly.
"You said you were looking forward to it, and that you would have rather been surprised. You pretty much asked for it when you bent over," he explained devilishly. She huffed and pouted, kicking on her pants and buttoning her shirt once more.
"Don't sleep too soundly, I just might shave your head in your sleep," she threatened. Kaiba chuckled and put his hands behind his head, glancing towards the tv.
"Oh be more creative Mokuba did that when I was 14, and when I was 15 he dyed it green. It took months to wash out," he stymied her little plan. She pouted once more, crossing her arms while over her chest while she thought up more empty threats.
"I'll tattoo my name on your ass," she announced. He laughed at her, changing the channel to a rerun of the news.
"Oh yeah, Like I wouldn't feel that," he remarked satirically. She smiled devilishly, her crystal blue eyes took on an impish mischievous look.
"Oh, I have way where you won't feel it," she purred before she turned around and left his room, closing the door softly. Kaiba shrugged his shoulders and leaned over to turn off the lamp, bathing the room in the glow from the tv.
"That bitch is crazy," he muttered to himself. She was crazy, and he liked it. He liked the witty way she bantered with him, her blunt way of getting to the point and a list of other things he preferred not to dwell on. Yawning once more he shut off the tv and listened to the storm outside. Rain pattered against the window, tree branches swayed and scratched the building with the wind and lightning lit up the sky with bright flashes and roaring booms. It was good sleeping weather, soothing. He briefly wondered how long he'd be stuck in her apartment before the storm subsided, then Seto drifted into a dreamless, deep sleep.
A/N: Ok, I promised I'd be updating more frequently so here's this. This is all I have planned for right now, I have no idea where to take this story next so any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated.
To the anon who checks for updates daily: I'm really really sorry it took me so long to update. I know what it's like to have a story that you're excited to read and I know how much it sucks when you have to wait 2 months for an update. I felt really bad and it guilted me into finishing this chapter a few days early. So there you go. Also, if it helps I will always update late at night (central standard U. S. time) updates will be between 9pm and 4am, since I only write at night. So the best thing would to be to check when you wake/ or before bed depending on where you are. This will not change either. I will not suddenly start posting in the morning or afternoon. Anyway moving on, thank you Isis-Light and Oliv-san and anon's for your reviews, favorites and follows. I really do appreciate it. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you at the end of the next one. Keep on Reviewing. XOXOXOXO
