Lilith smiled to herself, feeling Seto's muscles tighten underneath her hands. Whatever he was expecting, it probably hadn't been that little statement. Then again, she loved to make an impression, whether it was good or bad. She blew into his ear softly, and then lowered herself down, standing flat on the ground again. Again, his muscles tensed, and he grasped her wrists, pulling her hands off of him. With a grin, she slipped out of his grasp. She eyed him, smirking. Had she rendered the great Seto Kaiba speechless? How delightful!
"I was kidding, sweetheart. You shouldn't believe everything you hear. Sayonara, Kaiba-kun," she whispered.
She gave the cold teen a swift wink, tipped her bowler hat, and then sashayed her way over to Yami. The other teen eyed her strangely, but began to walk with her, Joey and the rest of them hurrying to catch up with the teens.
"Hey, Lilith! What'd you say to Kaiba?" Joey asked. "He looked like he didn't know what hit him for a few seconds there!" She smiled.
"Nothing really. Nothing in the slightest. I really just assured him that I wasn't a hooker," she said, taking off her bowler hat and putting it on Tea's head. "Hold that for a minute, would you?" she asked, letting her hair down. Tea, holding onto the black and lace creation, made a face.
"I still can't believe he called you a hooker!" she exclaimed. Lilith shrugged.
"His problem, not mine. I'm kinda used to it. One of the guys I used to know called me that all the time. It was his nickname for me. Horrible, yes, but the hell with it," she muttered, taking the hat back from Tea and placing it jauntily over her redone hair.
"Now, I believe food is calling," she said, taking off like a rocket. Joey let out a yell of happiness and sped after her, followed closely by Tristan. Tea, Yami, Yugi and Ryou rolled their eyes, and continued at a more sedate pace, knowing they'd catch up with the other teens soon enough.
After a loud lunch full of joking around and eating, Lilith and the rest of the group headed back into classes, all of them wishing the day would just get over soon.
Lilith snickered to herself, tossing her keys up and down. The look on the teacher's face when she walked into the classroom last class had been priceless. When the woman had turned around, Tea had whispered that she was a real stickler for rules, especially about the uniforms. Which explained the look of absolute horror, which had turned into disgust. Personally, Lilith thought it was hysterical.
Still smirking, she grabbed her keys out of the air, heading over to her blue Corvette. She unlocked the doors and slid in, taking off her bowler hat so she could see while driving. She backed up, and headed out of the parking lot. She nearly slammed on her brakes as a limo caught her eye. She recognized it from that morning. She growled, and watched Seto Kaiba climb in. She raised an eyebrow. It figured. With a sigh, she hit the gas, and made her way home.
Seto Kaiba sighed to himself as he left his limo, entering the Dragon's Wings Bar with a nod at the bouncers. They let him through, even if he was only eighteen. Who was going to say no to Seto Kaiba? The owner of the bar showed up instantly, leading him to his seat with the other businessmen he was meeting. To his dismay, they were right up front by the stage, which, in his mind, did not make for an ideal business area.
His partners greeted him, and then the man on stage recaptured their attention. "Now, ladies and gentleman, what you've all been waiting for, the elusive Night Demon!" Seto groaned mentally. All of his partners clearly had no interest in business at the moment. Their eyes were glued on stage. He rested a hand on the table, ready to push himself up, but then froze.
Night Demon had just made her way onto the stage, and even under the lace veil and smoky eye makeup, he knew her. There was no mistaking those liquid chocolate eyes. He watched Lilith, stunned, as she flipped the veil up, and then discarded it on the floor of the stage. She smirked into the audience, her crimson-painted lips attracting their eyes. She pulled up a stool and straddled it, leaning forward.
Seto noticed her clothing choice instantly. A midnight blue, cropped corset laced up in front, and from the position she was in, he could see the tops of her breasts, and the way the corset was slipping slightly, it was threatening to be more than just the top of her breasts. A black lace shawl was attached to the corset, providing a small covering for her bare shoulders. Her shorts were just above mid-thigh length, and they hugged her hips seductively. Her feet were bare, but they led to legs that were covered in shimmering fishnet stockings, which made her legs seem extraordinarily long. Her hair was pulled back loosely, a few curled strands falling to her shoulders.
'I thought she was kidding!' was the first thought to rise in his mind. He concentrated on her, noting the microphone she now held in her hands.
"Good evening. I'm glad you could make it," she purred, looking out into the audience, her eyes everywhere. She tossed the microphone into her left hand, using her right to swing the stool out from underneath her. "Hope you enjoy the show."
With that, she tossed the microphone to a stagehand, and a male appeared next to her. She wound an arm around his neck, pressing close against him, closing her eyes as the beat of the music began.
How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable
So condescending unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle
Seto watched, his eyes slightly wide, as she spun herself away from the male and then pulled him with her. She swept his feet out from underneath him, and followed him to the floor, pinning his wrists to the ground, and then her lips hovered above his, teasing. She sat up again, pulling him with her, straddling his hips.
You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
This Double Vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to funkin' tread the ground that I'm walking on
She thrust him away and flipped herself up, continuing her dance with sensual hip movements that left the audience breathless. Her eyes gleamed as she shimmied her way over to a nearby stripper pole. Seto raised an eyebrow as she stretched, cat-like, and wound herself around the item, a slender leg wrapped around it, holding her body up, as she bent backwards, flashing the audience a seductive smile.
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to what I've said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did
Seto felt his breath catch as she performed an intricate move, her face portraying a look of pure ecstasy. She launched into a series of moves that was hard to follow, but his cold cobalt eyes followed her swaying body through it all. She was pure lust in liquid form, her body twisting and turning with the beat, dancing with a vigor that was rarely found.
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Does it kill
Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control
Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
is there anyone out there cuz its getting harder and harder to breathe
He averted his eyes, trying to concentrate on the business deal he wanted to get done. But a flash of movement caught his eye, and when he turned to look, she had the male dancer in such a provocative position that he felt heat rise in his cheeks. He watched the duo dance, each movement seductive and daring to the last. Finally, the song wound down, and with a bow and a wink, Lilith left the stage. Seto glanced back at his business partners, and made a split second decision. He could benefit from this girl.
"Gentleman, I'm sorry, but I need to take my leave. Contact my secretary and arrange an appointment if you wish to speak with me," he said coldly, getting up. He ignored their protests, and made his way to the bar, asking for the owner. He exchanged a few words with the man, and then smirked. The owner began to lead him away.
Lilith sighed to herself, undoing her corset and grabbing her bra. She hooked it, and was reaching for her shirt as she heard the door open. She spun, her eyes wide, and stumbled, hitting the mirror, trying to cover herself. Simply because she danced in revealing clothing didn't mean that she wasn't modest. Her chocolate eyes widened even more, and she clutched her shirt to her chest, trying to hide herself.
"Kaiba??"
A/N: And there, my friends, I end. And make no mistake, Lilith was telling him the truth-she's not a stripper. You'll understand after next chapter!
WhitejellO: Hee hee. I loved that line. Thanks!
Setalina Muro: I don't think many people were expecting that ending….giggle. Thanks!
Touzoku-ouhi: Awesome penname, then. That's really cool. I was going to make her kiss him, but then I decided that really wasn't her style. So I changed it. Thanks!
Twilight: Meh. The light speed won't last long, I promise. I've had a day and a half to write, since school won't let me come back yet. It kinda sucks. I'm missing things I need to know…Thanks!
