In a Mr. Seto Kaiba's office, our young lover couldn't sleep… Knowing that Haruna was out there alone after bolting out of his limousine to see that bastard Marik. Part of him wanted to say that he still controlled people with the Millennium Rod, but he knew that wasn't true. He destroyed it himself, there was no way he could be using her like that. And if her did, it would be a grave day that he'd hurt his Haruna!

But then what did she see in him? What did she see in that Egyptian freak! That stunt he pulled on the first day was bullshit! Did she honestly fall for that! She can't want him! She can't! She is suppose to fall in love with Kaiba! Not that bastard Marik!

Seto literally pulled his hair and growled in frustration. He was scared for the first time for someone not himself and not Mokuba. Was she okay? Had Marik touched her? Was she lying in a gutter somewhere he couldn't reach her! He was sick to his stomach with worry, She is suppose to be mine!

Just then the phone rang.


We can simply say else where for now…

Haruna's eyes blurred as she woke for her dreamless sleep. Why care to dream? This whole fiasco seemed like some wretched nightmare. She leaned up, touching the covers of the bed she was in then realized where she had originally been. She whispered "I thought I was in the park…how…?"

The door slammed open to reveal a very angry Bakura. At first, she sighed in relief. After all, he was her friend from school. "Ryou…it's you! I'm so glad to see you, I mean, how did I get here?"

He said nothing to her, which soon scared her greatly. His eyes were dark and heavy, he had a cruel air about him and it sent a shiver down her body. As he advanced, she suddenly became nervous all over. She begged him to knock it off, that it wasn't funny. In fact, she began to demand him. "Ryou! I said cut it-

He backed handed her viciously across the face. The wind left her lips as a single tear slid out of her eye. She was quite aware now if she hadn't been already, this was not her friend. Then he forcibly grabbed her chin and made her look into his dark eyes. Now she was cowering in fear, his hands were cold and so was his gaze. What had gotten into her friend? He spoke heatedly now. "Well, well, naughty little whores of the Pharaoh shouldn't sleep in parks, it's too dangerous for them. Maybe you can thank me with a little gift of your own…"

Her lungs let out a scream as his hard hands roughly grabbed her body And he forced his mouth on hers. She kicked and thrashed around violently as he tried to push her back onto the bed. A white light started to admit from her body and Bakura was thrown into the wall across from her. She leaned up in horror and she quickly jumped out of the bed and out of the room. She ran across the dimly lighted apartment and out the front door. She had to think now, where was she? And how the hell could she get back to the mansion?

It was pounding with rain. She jumped at the sound of a near by thunder clap. There was a payphone, she immediately went for it and pulled out a quarter from her skirt pocket. It was very late, she could only assume it was deep into the night. She hastily dialed and waited impatiently for the ring, praying that Bakura wouldn't wake up to soon. She wondered if Kaiba was worried about her. The phone picked up. "Hello?"

"S-Seto…it's me, Haruna." Did she just call him Seto?

"Haruna? God Haruna! Where the hell have you been all damn night!"

"I'm sorry, I fell asleep in the park and…"

"Were you with Marik last night!"

"No! no…just…can you come get me? I'm lost Seto…" he let out a heavy sigh on the phone and she could hear the frustration in his voice. She didn't care, she meekly clung to the phone and twirled the metal cord in her fingers. Her voice let out a waver. "Please… find me…"

"Where are you?"

She looked up to the bent and twisted street sign, her eyes tried to focus on what it read. "I think on Maxi Avenue, but I don't know."

"Stay right there, we have a lot to discuss when I get there." He hung up. Haruna felt herself grow faint slightly, praying that he would come as soon as possible. The sky was dark grey and cold, she shivered more feverishly. She gingerly touched her forehead, it was burning. As if she lost control of her body, her knees buckled underneath her small frame and she slid along against the telephone poll.

Why did she call him? As if she needed him…Maybe she should have called her father, then she could go home again. To Tokyo, to her dad, to see Odie the security guard, her old school and friends. She could even see Lily Park, the place she had sold herself to save. She thought of her mother in what felt like for the first time in a century. Would she have done the same thing to save Lily Park? A tear slid down her cheek as a familiar homesickness swelled in her stomach.

There was the faint screech of tire wheels pulling up on the street. Car doors opened and slammed as someone ran to meet up with her. But her eyes were faintly closing as her mind was being drained of all thought. Everything was cold, the air in her lungs felt like it was freezing all over from the outside world. Someone reached out to her though, lifting her from the ground with warmth as radiant as the sun. But her eyes were shut, her head laid back in unconsciousness.

Light, too bright…Haruna murmured and rolled in her sleep. She twisted and turned to lie on her side and made contact with a body. A body? She ran her hands up, patting down the figure that lied next to her. She looked up, wide-eyed in horror to see Kaiba lying in bed with her, awake with his arm wrapped around her waist. His eyes widened when he saw she was awake again. When she tried to pull back, he just held her tighter. As if his intention was to squeeze her to death. "You scared the crap out of me, don't ever do it again."

The room was still, with faint rain drops rapping against the window. She closed her eyes momentarily, she cologne smelled sweet like nectar. There was the hum of his heart beat, and it was just slowing down now as they lied entwined on the bed. "How did you know I was really in trouble?" she whispered hoarse, she had trouble speaking.

His fingers ran up and down her long hair. "Because you called me Seto."

She swallowed the lump in her throat. She was half hoping he wouldn't notice the sudden change of heart (or speech). His fingers ran over her face now and brushed, almost painfully lingered on her lips. Haruna closed her eyes, if only for a minute. Why did this suddenly feel torturous for her? It never was before, but now she was insanely waiting for him to take action. Then a sudden date took place in her mind. But before she said anything, he said "Is you were wondering, you have been out for a week. I told the school you were very ill. No one had permission to see you. Not even your 'boyfriend.'"

She snorted. "He is not my 'boyfriend,' Kaiba. It was going to be one date."

"Are we back to calling me Kaiba?" his lips pouted slightly, she wanted them again. "I thought we were becoming closer Haruna."

She licked her lips nervously, a small cold feeling ran up from the pit of her stomach. "I never want to become that close to you, Kaiba. I-I just can't bring myself to do that."

His hands touched he neck and slithered down to her chest. "What about in the limo?" Before she could respond, his smooth hands grasped her breast and he kissed her neck. "Don't tell me that was all a lie."

"Then I won't…" she whimpered as he continued to run his hands all over her body. Dipping in his face, he kissed her again and harder then before. She moaned into his mouth, tasting the sweetness of him that only he seemed to have. No Marik, no Bakura, no one could have matched this. She shivered as his hand ran along her thigh and she gasped into his mouth "Seto…"

"YOU'RE OKAY!" Mokuba ran into the bedroom and immediately tackled Haruna. He sobbed into her and continued to shout. "I thought you were gonna die! I came in every night while you and Seto were sleeping! But you never woke up! I kept calling to you and calling and…I missed you Haruna!"

She was taken back by the overwhelmed Mokuba. His tears formed a wet spot on her night shirt . Lovingly, she rubbed his back and hushed in his ear. "It's okay Mokuba, it's okay. We're a family again now, see? We're all okay and I promise that we'll always be a family. Don't cry Tiger, it's all okay."

Seto watched her intently as she calmed Mokuba down. Her touch was so motherly, gentle and warm in every aspect. His eyes soaked up her image with a child in her arms, there was a fleeting moment in his mind. I want it to be my child… He was snapped out of his thoughts when Mokuba left again. "I'm leavin' now, I think Seto had plans. Goodbye Haruna!"

As the young boy darted out of the room, she turned to Kaiba with a raised eyebrow. "Plans…? Plans as in what exactly Mr. Kaiba?" He regained that sinful look in his eyes from gazing at her momentarily. His face leaned over for a moment and he breathed erotically into her ear, she felt her body shake. "If you're still weak, we could stay in bed all day…the two of us…"

Color rushed to her cheeks. Kaiba smirked and took this as an opportunity to move in. The cool air of his breath touched her bare skin and she shivered. "I mean, with all this 'Seto' business, I think we are on a roll today…" he grazed her neck in kisses again, "Considering you hate me…"

"Not all of you," this caught them both off guard. Haruna realized it as the words flew out of her mouth and he leaned back, disbelieving. She leaned up too, obviously not weak but returned to normal. The quietness settled the odd feeling in the air all around them. She nervously played with her hair as he received a call on his phone. "Hello? Yes…yes of course…I'll be right there."

He snapped his cell phone, standing up and redressing himself to his usual white jacket and business attire. Suddenly, he looked much older then before. His eyes were much colder, less delicate like a raw diamond. His face was like a poker players, his emotions all unreadable. Haruna suddenly wanted him to stay, return to the warmer disposition he had held with her in his arms. This stiffer, more strict Kaiba was so…unpleasing. He straightened himself out curtly, saying "I have to head to the office."

Kaiba was about to reach the door when a hand brushed against his. He spun around to see Haruna, standing there with her arm stretched out to him. The thin sheet from the bed barely covering her nude form. But in her eyes there was a comfort, a soft sigh that touched him and wanted him closer then before. She closed the door softly, her hand covering his on the door knob. Suddenly, she pulled him closer to her, their bodies touching once again in a force of heat and desire. A desire that he felt too. Her fingers rode up his chest, caressing him through the soft cloth of his suit shirt. He felt her hot air against the skin of his neck. Her soft lips touched them lightly. "I want you to stay with me…Seto."

That was all he needed to hear. He spun her back to the wall and kissed her with all the fiery passion he had for her, the want and need of waiting for her to say all of that and more. So very much more. But it was different this time, she wanted him back The girl of his dreams wanted him as much as he wanted her. Her fingers braided into his hair, pulling him till he fell back on the bed with her, entwining in a fit of passion and tenderness they had seemed to regain in a few quiet minutes. The clothes he just placed on seemed to tug off easier then he could imagine. He looked down at her naked pink flesh, quivering with petit bumps from the cool air surrounding them as he straddled her hips. But that is not what he could all possibly think about, his mind was on one thing as their bodies twisted together and their eyes met after breaking from their deep kiss. I love this woman…

And as gently as he could, he took her. He took her virgin seal with a soft cry from them both in their inexperience. They had the defining thrill and passion as all young lovers had, but there was something more with it. There was a meaning, a love and a lust beyond comparison for such tender hearts. They gave and touched and cried out in their pleasure till they spent all they had to give to their young bodies. When Haruna and Seto finally fell onto the bed one last time, a thin sheet of sweat covered them and the sheets below them. She looked into his eyes and said "I love you, Seto Kaiba."

His eyes widened then relaxed. For the last time that day he kissed her, only with more love and comfort that he ever gave to her, or anyone before her. In a sultry, deep and honest voice he whispered to her sleeping form: "I love you too, Haruna Takasugi." He leaned over closer to whisper again "Haruna Takasugi Kaiba…"
