Chapter Eight

Tempting Offer

The windows rattled as the lightning hit close to the house, and rain smacked sharply against the panes. The storm had been going on for a long time with no signs of letting up. Seiji shifted in his sleep, pulling the covers over his head. A light tap on the door and a frightened voice made him look up, drearily.

"S-Seiji... are you awake?"

"What is it Koharu?" Seji asked, sleepily, stifling a yawn.

"May I come in?"

"Sure..."

The door opened and revealed Koharu wrapped tightly in a quilt, quivering. She quickly ran to his bed side and looked down at him pleadingly.

"Can I stay here with you tonight?"

"Why, are you scared?" Seiji began to grin, catching himself once he saw the tears welling up in Koharu's eyes. He blushed and nodded. He still couldn't help but think about the secret Koharu had told him and it had made him curious. Who could have possibliy deflowered his beloved Koharu?

He slid over, making room for her to crawl in beside him. Koharu let the quilt drop to the floor and scurried into the futon, frantically.

Seiji pulled the covers over them both and held her to him, smiling softly. Koharu shivered at the close contact but remained still in his arms.

"It'll be okay, Koharu... nothing will hurt you, I promise." Seiji whispered soothingly to Koharu, stroking her hair lightly.

Koharu whimpered and pushed herself even closer to him, putting her arms around his waist. Seiji grinned at the contact, and cupped Koharu's chin in his hands.

"I know a way to make you forget about the storm..." Seiji kissed her softly.

Koharu gasped, pulling away slightly.

"We can't!" She looked at him, worriedly, tears in her eyes as another bout of thunder boomed in the sky.

"It'll be all right, Koharu... I'll take good care of you..."

Seiji sat up, and gently pressed her down, getting on top of her. Nimble fingers unbuttoned Koharu's pajamas, and he kissed her throat. Seiji made his way down Koharu's breast and torso, nibbling and licking her sensitive stomach. Seiji bit at her hip, before removing the pajama bottoms. Koharu whimpered and struggled slightly, but Seiji kept her pinned down.

"I won't hurt you, Koharu. I promise I'll be very gentle." Seiji smiled, and kissed her again.

Koharu kissed him back with equal passion, and helped to unbutton Seiji's shirt, showing flawless skin. Then went to Seiji's pants as they lay there, naked, breathing heavily and looking longingly into each others eyes...

"Seiji?" Koharu interrupted his naughty thoughts.

"Huh? What is it?"

"Can I stay with you tonight?"

"Uh..yeah...sure."

Koharu climbed into bed and pulled the covers over herself. She was wearing her regular night time attire; her short blue shorts and white tank top. She rolled onto her side so her back was facing Seiji. She looked at the dark wall and blinked when her eyes started seeing tiny neon spots. Closing her eyes she whispered 'thank you, Seiji'.

After a hour or two Seiji heard Koharu leave in the middle of the night. He didn't say anything about her leavingbut relized where she had gone when the toilet flushed and the door slide open again.

He opened one eye and seen the shadow on the wall. Light poured through the open door and showed a short lanky shadow inside of it. The door was closed and foot steps came nearer to the bed. Seiji felt a weight on the side of the bed and nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt a hand at his waist. Gasping he turned over and sat up to see Koharu's out line sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Koharu?" She didn't reply, she just laid down next to him and tried to wrap her arm around his waist. "Hey! What do you think you're doing, Koharu!" He tried to take her hand away when he realized something.

Snore.

Snore.

His eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "Koharu? Quit faking! I know you're awake!"

"...Stay close by me..."

Seiji faltered and looked down at her. She really was sleeping… Seiji sighed and shook his head, "I doubt I'll be able to wake her up…" Hhe slide down into a laying position with Koharu's arm securely around his waist.

"...I'm scared..."

Seiji's eyes flew open and he looked up, Koharu was directly ontop of him and mumling more nonsense. "Koharu? What are you doi-"

Koharu didn't seem to hear Seiji because she mumbled once more and placed her lips upon his. Shocked he stared wide-eyed at the shadowed figure in front of him and couldn't seem to move. He had liked her of course and he thought that in some way she liked him, but he didn't think anything like this would happen. He pushed her back and saddened, she was asleep and was probably dreaming of someone else right now.

"Mmph!" he yelp was muffled by her lips as she kissed him yet again. He liked that she was kissing him, but he wanted to really be the one she was kissing. "Sp-mmm" he tried to say her name through the kiss but she deepened it at that moment and the words were lost. Koharu climbed fully on top of him forcing Seiji to lie back in the bed completely. They kissed passionately for some time before Seiji realized where Koharu's hands were. He hadn't really minded kissing her, being as she wouldn't remember. But he was only willing to go so far with a sleeping Koharu. He pried Koharu's left hand from his upper thigh and pushed her away slightly. He glanced around; it would be too awkward if he forced Koharu to wake up right now. Koharu put her left hand next to his head and supported herself with it while her right hand played with his small waist. She kissed Seiji again on the lips and than his jaw. Slowly she planted more on his throat and neck leading a hot trail to his collarbone. Seiji closed his eyes tightly; this would probably one of the biggest decisions he's ever made in this lifetime. Let Koharu continue and face tomorrow morning alone, or some how stop her without waking her up and probably never have this chance again…

Seiji thought for a moment almost forgetting what she was about to do to him. The idea that came to him hit him just as Koharu was sliding a hand down his boxers. Pausing her hand just before it reached the supple mound Seiji reached up with his other hand and drew Koharu close to him. He kissed her long and hard while trying desperately to turn the situation around.

"Koharu?" he whispered loudly into her ear. "Can you hear me?"

"Mmm," she groaned sleepily, "Yeah." Snore.

Seiji paused, he hoped this would work; so in his huskiest voice he whispered into her ear, "Let me make you more comfortable." He kissed her neck softly. Seiji put his hand to Koharu's shoulder and pushed slightly, she leaned with the force and he knew she would let him on top. So Seiji guided her to lay on hwe back and he straddled on top of her and leaned over to continue making out with her. Seiji kissed Koharu and stalled for as long as he could. He nuzzled her neck; he kissed and licked at the hot flesh trying to keep her occupied until she fell into actual sleep. At some point, Seiji hadn't realized, Koharu had fallen asleep while he was sucking lightly on her neck. When he realized her hands had dropped from his waist and were now laying limply at her sides he relaxed and sighed. He was extremely tired and ready to fall asleep on top of her. Slowly he climbed off of her and lay next to her sleeping form. He felt sad now, he didn't like that she was sleep walking, but now he hated that she had just tried to do that while sleep walking. He sighed again and turned over so his back was to her. He hoped that if Koharu left sleepwalking she wouldn't try anything funny. Seiji thought he should stay up just to see if she sleepwalked out every night, or if she woke up and left. But, it had been a busy day and an awkwardly busy night and he couldn't keep his eyes open.

"Kakashi-kun...more, please." Koharu mumbled, now completely over taken by sleep.

Seiji woke late the next morning with a crick in his neck. "Argh…" He mumbled and rubbed the back of his neck. His hair was messy and sticking up in places and he had graying bags under his eyes. He blinked, and went cross-eyed.

He rubbed his eyes sleepily and yawned.

"Kakashi-kun..."

He jumped at the sweet, high pitch voice still beside him. He turned over and looked at a sleeping Koharu, she somehow managed to get her arms back around his waist. She cuddled closer to the suppose to be Kakashi.

"Kakashi-kun? Is that who you thought I was!" Seiji yelled.
