Chapter 6

Irresistible

8:29 P.M.

Marik watched the weather channel laying down on the plush leather couch.There was a Thunderstorm Warning for the city of Tokyo and this time,the rain would possibly be heavier.Not that it matter to Marik.

Keket came out of the back bedroom.She was wearing her blue baggy pajamas and a high cut tanktop.Her wet black hair had sort of tinted blue when the light hit it.

Marik flipped through the channels not even noticing Keket sitting next to him.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." He sighed not taking his eyes off the television.

"You seem troubled by something.Seto perhaps?"

Marik stopped channel surfing and stood up starting to walk to the bathroom.He wasn't angry.Then again Marik didn't exactly wear his emotions on his sleeve.

Keket watched him stroll quickly away disappearing into the back room.She picked up the remote control and flipped to the movie channel.The sun setted slowly in the west and due to te lack of light,Keket closed the curtains and turned on the lamp next to the couch.

Marik slowly dried off his body distracted by thoughts of Keket's dilemma.The image of her crying weakened him,crushed his heart.He thought about how he held her,protectively to say the least.He only had known the girl for 2 days and already he was her bodyguard.But thing was,he didn't mind it all.

He wrapped the towel around his waist and went into the bedroom pulling out a pair of boxers and sweatpants.He finished getting dressed and entered the living room where Keket laid in slumber.

Marik violet eyesfollowed the curves of her body from her tiny feet to her radiant face.Her damp hair had fallen into silky waves across her shoulder and chest.Shestirred slightly curling up into a little ball.Overall,Keket looked like a goddess of beauty and grace.

The teenage boy took a step closer listening to her soft breathing.A crack of thunder vibrated the walls of the room and was loud enough to snap Keket out of her dreamy state.

Her amazon green eyes fluttered open and she sat up.She saw Marik in the kitchen checking to see if the power was out.It was.

"Marik?"

As soon as Marik walked around the kitchen counter,Keket got a good look at what a perfect body was suppose to look like.Marik's muscular bodyleft her in a totally awe and loss of words.His arms and 6-pack drove her to a sudden blank.She turned away from him seeing how low his sweatpants were.

"Do you think there are candles in here?"

"I found two under the kitchen sink." He lit one of the candles and set it on the coffee table in front of her.

Keket watched the small orange flame dance and flicker. "How long do you think the power will be out?"

"I don't know."

Marik sat next to her silently gazing upon her lit face.The candle made her skin remind him of honey.He scanned down to her shoulders noticing a strap of her tanktop had slid off her shoulder.Hesitant,he reached up and lightly touched the strap.

Keket gasped grabbing his hand to stop him.He removed his hand blushing.

"I wasn't trying anything I just-I'm sorry." Mariklooked at the floor in embrassment.

Keket fixed her strap. "I uh...I think I going to go to bed now."

"Y-you do that." Marik glazed at Keket as she jogged into the bedroom.

He laid on his back growling in frustration. "Damn it." He whispered to himself.

10:02 P.M.

Ishizu woke up hearing the sound of her doorbell.She put on her robe and quickly rushed to the door.Without checking to see who it was she opened the door with a hopeful smile.That left her as quickly as it came.

Seto stood on the porch holding a black umbrella and a bouquet of white roses.he smiled seeing the surprised expression on Isis' face.

"Seto?What?How?Why are you-?" Ishizu couldn't find the right question to ask.

"May I come in?"

"Seto Kaiba,if this is your way of renkindling the fire we once had, you're absolutely mad!"

Seto only smiled and stepped closer.

"May I come in?" He repeated.

"No." Ishizutried to close the door but Seto held it open for enough to step inside.

"It out of my house." She ordered.

Seto smiled ignoring her demands and placing the white roses into a vase.He loved to tease her.

"So Isis,I'm surprised you haven't asked me about little Keket yet?"

Ishizu rushed over to him and spun him around. "What did you do to her?"

"Relax.I couldn't even have a descent talk to her thanks to your over-protective brother."

Ishizu relaxed her shoulders. "Thank goodness."

"Ishizu?" Seto rested his hands on her shoulders. "I'm still a little protective over you."

"What are you trying to pull on me,Seto Kaiba?" She brushed his hands off.

"Nothing...at the moment." He smirked.

Ishizu blinked at him slightly confused. She leaned against the wall holding her forehead.

"Seto I really wished you would leave."

She gasped shortly after feeling Seto's soft lips gentlhy capture hers.

He ran his fingers through her hair."Don't you think I should stay a little longer?"
