Sinful Temptation
Murder and seduction was the plan, not anywhere along those lines did love ever become involved…

Chapter 3-II-
'Hurry up, hurry up!'
I grabbed my documents off my cluttered desk and stuffed them in my briefcase, I did not know what was with me this week. Tardiness was a sign of weakness, I have to keep up a steady pace if I want to get out of here soon. I'm already much behind schedule, and it wasn't helping that is was Seto Kaiba.
I pulled on my black boots and seized my coat as I dashed out of my flat, while I ran, I got into my coat and quickly checked my watch. 4:51 am. I had exactly nine minutes to check into my office and be at my desk before getting fired.
The cool morning breeze hit me rigidly, the moon still resided in the midnight blue sky, the frost had settled into the snow, making it pure ice. It was going to be risky, but who else better to take a risk than me?
I kicked my leg over the black seat, booted back the kickstand and inserted the key. It purred majestically like a tiger before going into full resonance; I smirked at the thought about how many businesswoman show up at working with a motorcycle.
The bitter wind slashed through my face, not many people were going to be out at this hour, the streets were empty and secluded, light snow drizzled the city as I pulled into the employee parking lot.
Running swiftly through the long halls and corridors I finally reached an elevator, catching my breath, I reached to press the button for the 65th floor, but someone else got there before me.
"Hm…very close to being late," his brusque voice cut through me colder than ice.
I looked to him, my violet eyes not showing any sign of concern. I leaned back into one corner and sighed, as I glimpsed at my watch. My eyes promptly glanced over to his direction, he continued to stare at me with a look of complete irritation. My lips curved into an arrogant smirk as we came to the top floor.
"Staring won't get you anywhere," I said slickly as I swept across the floor and into my office, right beside his.
-II-
Heavy rains beat against the large windows behind the untidy desk of Seto Kaiba; he persistently typed vigorously onto his keyboard, his long, slender fingers dashing every which way, much work was needed to me done.
Outside the rain slashed against the stone of the ground, winds howled outside like mourning of dead souls, not a person could be seen in this weather. It was pitch black, complete darkness hovered above the city as the moon was over shadowed by the storm clouds, only a tiny flame of light could be detected upon his desk that and the glowing monitor of the computer.
Although Mokuba hated it when he came home later than midnight, he had no choice but to call home and listen to his brother's scolding.
No one else could've been possibly in the building at this hour, but Rei stayed behind. He didn't know what but he knew something was strange about her, she wasn't like every other girl he had met, she was different. She gave off an aura of mystery she wasn't open, she mostly kept to herself, something about her intrigued him and he wanted to know more.
That mouth on her was something else, no one had enough courage to even speak to him eye-to-eye and she could talk back to him. Rei, was much more composed and poised, she was not at all like those insane lunatics who camped outside his mansion every night.
Kaiba leaned back within his chair and admired his thoroughly done blueprints, he saved it, just as the entire building became lost in the night, lights disappeared. Little light seeped in; faint shivers ran down his spine as he bolted straight up in his chair. Someone was here.
Thunder crashed outside as lightening struck, the rain fell relentlessly; Kaiba's head rose slowly scanning his office.
"Scared?"
Her thin voice sliced through the silence of the obscurity, her frame hovered just outside his doorway with a small candle within her hands.
He wasn't even fazed by her sudden appearance, even the in the dark his smirk, the corner of his lip curved slightly over; she trembled with desire as she tread cautiously to his desk.
"Not at the slightest," he replied haughtily as he watched her glide across the room and gently lay the flame upon his desk. Her slender body gracefully slid onto his desk; she sensually rested one leg over the other, she placed her hand right before him, her indigo eyes staring in his, reading him openly.
"Have you come running to your saviour?" He asked conceitedly.
The fire was the only object between them, it danced amid them through the darkness as they intently, fixatedly watched each other.
"I don't need anyone," she said with such contempt. "But it looks like you do," her finger cut through the flame, not even burning her at the least.
"And what do I need saving from?" He huskily asked, his finger moving smoothly across the blaze.
She leaned in, so close to the CEO she could feel his breathing over her body. Her face loomed over the burning light, her hand extended forward, with one finger she ran it alongside the edge of his visage. "Yourself," she murmured intensely, her lips forming the word with such an alluring lust.
"I still say you need to be saved," he replied in an inaudible whisper, as he stood from his chair and bent over to her.
"From what?"
His sapphire eyes glowing over the blaze, her violet eyes wanting to hear more, she tilted her body to him, till they were against one another.
"From me," he replied desirably, his lips spelled out each word to her, bathed in passion she slanted herself to be captured by him.
Suddenly, lights flickered on, the room became illuminated exposing everything for what it was and for what it wasn't.
For the first time, his eyes left hers, Kaiba grabbed his things and abruptly walked out of his office and into the night rainfall.
Rei's chest fell in and out, her breathes in small pants, she still lingered in the moment, her hand shaking, fell over her chest as she calmed herself slightly, she stepped off the desk and caught the black vehicle rushing through the rising water.
What had just happened to her? She thought she was in control of everything, but then something occurred. He became dominant, confining her to his charm.
-II-
Hm…it could use a bit more colour over here.
My brushed sashayed across the hard and thick material of the canvas. Sunday no work day. All my planning and problems left my mind as I let myself become lost in the my painting; clouded with darkness, only a small glint of white light was evident. Death, hatred and loneliness bathed the genre of my creation, what else could it be but derision, I put my soul here and this is how it will show, forever.
Not only that, but the inspiration of the brilliant songs of Evanescence, what an enthralling voice Amy Lee has, what powerful words she sings. The lyrics captivate me in such a trance of hypnotic rule, it is as if each song means something about my life…
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drive me
Into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
I stopped the pain, by giving it away to the others who have the perfection in life, everyone deserves a bit of heartbreak and sadness, why should the leftover scraps of hate be fed to my soul?
Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die
I died, I had a long time ago, no one can revive me now, I am no longer a part of this world but much lower than any mere mortal could ever reach.
I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
Nothing can stop me now, although death scared me, just like in the eyes of those I have killed. Death is eventual, if I hadn't had taken their life something would've either way.
Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die
I can never give into what I hear or what people tell me, I know what is right and what is wrong, although murdering an icon like Seto Kaiba is deadly, a challenge is always accepted by me. Death and love were games only to be handled with vigilance by professionals like me. Unlike the tragedy of death, love was much more cruel, the suffering and pain made much to surreal.
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me
Shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet my end
Not my end, but the end of Seto.
Paint, scattered everywhere, I became caught in a whirlwind of thought. My hand tightly grasped the thin wood of the brush, tears rolled out of my eyes. I can't understand what is affecting me in this way, what is wrong with me? The flimsy material gave way in my clutch. I threw my paints to the ground, colours meshed together in my carpet as I grabbed my hair between my fingers.
Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die…
Silence, it's over. What just happened to me? What influenced me to act in such an animal manner?
I looked down onto my carpet, which had become smothered in paint, even my clothes had become coated in a thick layer. I put my hand to my forehead and decided to go out, at least I would be able to get out of this room.
Something here was haunting me.
-II-
Something black…this red…
I pulled a deep crimson sweater, the turtleneck hung over loosely and the sleeves came out in a chandelier way. It was the colour of blood, just when it seeped out of the inflicted wound. This could be a nice colour to wear.
It was nice, just to get out myself, even I scared myself at how much rage I could produce, how much anger I could keep bottled up inside me. This wasn't healthy at all, especially on my business trips. Usually the people I have to dispose of are old geezers, married with children in University, all they're looking for is a nice, sweet girl who they think they've got manipulated. But it breaks their hearts to come face to face with the same eyes that captured them in a lusting relationship, to the same eyes the will send them to their fate.
But now, now it was different, Kaiba was different. There's so much more to him than the media perceives him as, there was a much more deeper person inside that he could unleash to the world, in fear of showing weakness. At least with him I can unveil who I really was, at least this resentment inside me wouldn't build as much as usual.
I stepped back to find a mirror, and nearly tripped over something in the process. I long, raven-haired smiled up apologetically at me. My infuriated eyes cooled down a bit as I smiled back at him.
"I'm sorry Miss," he replied considerately. He was young, to me looking no older than 12, he has long raven hair and the most innocent grey eyes.
"It's alright," I said, accepting his apology.
"That sweater would really suit you," he commented, pointing to the clothing in my hand.
"Thank you," I answered kindly.
"Are you in high school?" He asked, just as I began to walk away.
I nodded, as I handed my purchase to the cashier to be bagged.
"Do you know my brother?"
"Who is—"
"$28.69," the woman said uninterestedly.
I pulled out a few bills out of my purse and grabbed my shopping bag and stormed out of the store.
"So do you?" He asked, catching up to me.
"Who is your brother?" I asked, fed up with his bothersome personality.
"Mokuba how many times have I told you not to go running off?"
A deep voice behind me chastised the young boy, his head fell slightly in forgiveness. Finally some form of discipline.
"You should tell your son that he shouldn't hassle people like this," I snapped, turning around to give the father a piece of my mind.
"He's not my son."
-II-
"Tea," Joey whined, pulled her name for a few extra syllables. "Are we done yet?"
"Joey! We just got here!" Tea shouted as she took out her list.
"I don't know women live through this hell of shopping," Joey thought aloud, as he parked himself on a bench.
"Why don't you ask your girlfriend, the shop-a-holic," Duke replied, taking of his black winter jacket.
"C'mon guys we just need a few more decorations," Serenity said as she blew into her hands.
"I don't think we're getting that done any time soon," Tristan replied.
"Why?" Yugi asked.
He looked over to his left and pointed straight down the hall. Duke pushed passed everyone and stared up, there she was again. Rei.
"C'mon guys lets go, I don't like her very much," Tea whispered.
But it was too late, Duke was already on top speed towards her direction.
"I hope he'll be ok," Yugi said.
"Why Yug, she's just a girl," Joey replied, rolling his eyes.
"Well the person beside her sure ain't," Tristan laughed.
"Moneybags!"
-II-
"Talk respectfully to my family," Kaiba heatedly replied, as he brushed passed her and signalled for Mokuba to follow.
Rei stared at his back, she smoothly rolled her head over her neck and began to walk away.
"Rei," Duke uttered in his husky voice.
"Hello," she replied curtly.
"The dance is coming up," he began, putting his hand around her waist and slowly pushing her to walk.
Rei nodded without a word, only gazing down to the hand that hand been placed upon her.
"Are you going with anyone?" He asked.
She shook her head indifferently.
"Then how about accompanying me?" He requested, shooting her a devilish smirk.
"I don't—"
Think about this for a moment, you could take advantage of this. Seto Kaiba seems like a person to keep what he wants near and out of reach from others, jealousy could play a role here.
"Of course," she replied, her hand rested upon his cheek. His skin became flaming red, she moved her head over and seductively, yet gently lay her lips on his skin.
"Until then," Rei said, turning away and swaying her hips tantalizingly as she walked away.
