After they had some dinner, Mokuba went to bed. Kiashi curled up on the pillow again as Kagome took a shower in the bathroom next to their room. Kiashi lifted her head when she saw a flash of light and the booming sound of thunder. She sighed. She didn't mind the storms. It was Kagome who had a problem with them. She couldn't get to sleep and was always worried that lightning would strike the window. Kagome had that problem since she was five years old, according to her. Kiashi turned her head towards the door when she heard it open and reveal Kagome with wet hair and a white towel around her neck and holding another towel around her chest that stopped at her knees. Kagome's hair was still in tangles and was really puffy. She was still rubbing the towel on her hair, trying to dry it off quicker. Another flash and booming noise got Kagome's attention. She stiffened and stared out the window. The rain started to pat the window, and then dropped from the sky. It striked the window, rolling off it as more hit it. She tried to ignore the rain and thunder. Kagome walked over to the clothing that Kiashi got her and took the dark blue T-shirt and the pair of black shorts. She took off the towels and put on the clothing. The shirt went to her waist and the shorts reached her mid-upper leg.

She grabbed her comb and started to straighten out her hair. When she was done, it was once again straight and reflected the light from the lighting on the ceiling. Kagome looked out the window and watched as the rain continued to strike the glass barrier. The room was silent, which made Kagome a bit uncomfortable. She never liked it when it rained and was quiet at the same time. She liked to focus on something that didn't look like lightning or sound like thunder. Kagome looked over to the female dragon to find her really comfortable and closed eyes. If Kagome didn't know any better, she would believe that Kiashi was asleep. She knew better. Kiashi wasn't asleep, but she was very comfortable. Number one rule about Kiashi: if she's comfortable, don't bother her or she will snap. No hesitation. No second thought. She will snap at you. Kagome knew that, so she didn't bother the dragon. She pulled out a picture from the pocket in her skirt that she was wearing earlier and looked at it. It was a picture of her mother, grandfather, baby brother, herself, and another man hosting her on his shoulders as Souta was held by their mother. He was only a few months old in the picture. The man that held Kagome on his shoulders had short black hair and brown eyes. He wore a loose white shirt that had the first two top buttons unbuttoned and blue jeans. He was Kagome's father. He died from cancer when Souta was just a couple years old.

He always told her that there was nothing to be afraid of because he was there to protect her. 'But he lied,' Kagome thought to herself. 'He left us. How is he supposed to protect me when he isn't even around anymore?' Kagome put the picture back in the pocket. 'And everyone else decided to follow his example and leave me, too. God, my life sucks so bad. I just wish I died sometimes. What the hell am I thinking! I shouldn't think about these kinds of things. My family and friends wouldn't want me to throw my life away. I really need to stop talking to myself now.' Her mind fell silent like the room. No more thoughts crossed her mind. The only thing Kagome could think of was sleep. She go under the covers and rested her still wet head on the pillow next to the one Kiashi was resting on. She pulled the covers over her body and put her hands behind her head. The only thing she did once she got comfortable was stare at the ceiling. Her thoughts went to the day's events and Kaiba. The thunder shaking the window kept her awake, no matter how hard she tried to get to sleep. She turned her head to the side and watched the shadows dance across the wall. Thunder boomed again and caused Kagome to flinch. Kagome closed her eyes and played music in her head, trying to drown out the thunder.

It didn't work. Thunder was still caught by her ears. 'At least it's not very loud,' Kagome thought to herself. Just as that thought crossed her mind, a flash of lightning flashed near the window, lighting up the whole room as thunder shook the room. Kagome snapped up and sprinted out of the room. Her original plan was to hide in a room and wait the storm out, but she didn't know which room she was running into. She ran into Kaiba's. Now here's the thing with Kagome. When she's in a new place, she get comfortable in the room that she'll be in and then goes to take a shower, which was around 10:00 or so this time. When Kagome got of the shower, it was around 10:45 or 10:50, so everyone was pretty much asleep. When Kagome ran into Kaiba's room, she hopped into his bed and hid under the covers. The movement on the bed woke Kaiba up, but only halfway. He was having a really good dream of him and Kagome doing some things, so when turned his head, he thought he was still dreaming. Poor Kagome nearly went into shock at what happened next. He claimed her lips with his. Kagome's eyes went wide as Kaiba ran his tongue over her mouth. He nipped her bottom lip, demanding to be let in. Kagome didn't know what came over her, but she relaxed and allowed Kaiba's tongue to intrude in her cavern and taste her. Kagome closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him closer, moaning as the kiss deepened. Somehow, her moan snapped Kaiba right out of it. Kagome felt his tongue retreat from her mouth, so she opened her eyes to see Kaiba fully awake and blushing. Kagome blushed a bit, too. No matter how right it felt, she was still a little embarrassed by it. Kaiba turned his head another way and mumbled a 'sorry.'

Kaiba laid down on his side, facing towards the window. He had no idea what came over him. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid,' Kaiba said over and over in his head. He liked her, but he thought that his little maneuver would scare her off. He was wrong, big time. He felt arms wrap around his shoulders, so curiosity got the best of him. He turned his head up to see Kagome smiling at him. It was a small smile, but still a smile. Kaiba rolled over onto his back and Kagome lied down next to him. Her arm was draped over his chest while the other was near her head. Kaiba wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closed to him. His other arm was behind his head. Kagome rested her head near his shoulder as Kaiba continued to pulled her closer. When she was pressed against his body, he moved his arm to around her waist. Kaiba closed his eyes and hoped that he wouldn't do anything stupid in his sleep. Kagome no longer saw the flashes of lightning or the loud sound of thunder. She was in her own little world and soon fell into dreamless asleep. (Incase any1 is wondering where Jikoru is, Mokuba wouldn't let him go.)

The morning sun peeked through the windows, waking the two on the bed. What position they were in made them both blush a deep red. Kagome was straddling Kaiba's waist with her head resting on his chest and her arms around his neck. Kaiba's arms were wrapped around her waist, but a little too close to her butt. He unwrapped his arms as Kagome climbed off, more like scrambled off of his chest. Kaiba instantly missed the warmth, but he didn't want to push her. Kagome got out of bed, as did Kaiba. Kagome looked at him before going back to the room where Kiashi was and said, "I'm sorry for intruding last night."

"Don't be," Kaiba replied. "I should be the sorry one since I did kiss you."

"Don't be," Kagome repeated from his first sentence. She walked out the door and into the room where she was supposed to stay. Kiashi lifted her head when she heard the door open and wanted to growl at whoever was intruding. She was surprised that it was Kagome since she didn't hear her leave last night. Kiashi looked at her curiously since Kagome still held a faint blush on her cheeks from waking up in the position she woke up in with Kaiba. Kagome grabbed the black skirt and dark blue tank top that Kiashi brought her before she went to sleep. Kagome changed out of her night cloths and putt on the shirt and skirt. The tank top went to her mid-stomach and the skirt reached about three fourths of the way down to her knees. 'At least it doesn't show as much as my other skirts,' Kagome thought to herself. Kagome picked Kiashi up and allowed her to go to her shoulder. Kagome folded her clothing before heading out of the room to go eat some breakfast. The blush on Kagome's cheeks disappeared, but her cheeks still felt warm. Kagome walked out the bedroom door when she was done folding her cloths and walked downstairs to the living room where Mokuba and Seto already were. Kagome felt that blush coming back when she saw Kaiba. After breakfast was done and over with, Kagome went back to the room to grab her cloths. She turned and found Kaiba leaning against the door frame again. The blush didn't come back this time. "Thanks for letting me stay here last night," Kagome said.

"Anytime," Kaiba replied. "If you get annoyed with that cousin of yours, you can always come over here to escape from him. If you want to."

Kagome nodded and said, "Thanks. With the way Joey can act, I might need a place to escape from him."

"Just come over anytime you want."

"'Kay." Kaiba stepped aside and walked next to Kagome until they reached the doors. Kagome walked out after saying 'thanks' to Kaiba again. Kiashi still rode on her shoulder as Kagome walked down the streets to her cousin's house. Many things were going through Kagome's mind, but the thing that was mostly on her mind was the kiss. She figured that if Joey ever found out she was with Kaiba, it would be wise not to mention it to him. That would just cause him to go crazy or berserk. Either way, she wasn't going to tell him for two reasons. One, she didn't want Joey to go into any fights. And two, she didn't want to see two people she cared about fighting. That thought got Kagome to stop in her tracks. Did she really care about Kaiba? So soon after Inuyasha's betrayal? Too many thoughts were crossing her mind and confusing her. She decided to think about it later on. She had to get to her cousin before he could have a chance on going all over town again. Too late though. She saw him with Tea.

"Where the hell did she go!" Joey yelled.

"I don't know!" Tea yelled back. "When I woke up, she was gone! I don't know where she went!"

Kagome decided to let herself be known. "I left with Kiashi so she could go hunt somewhere," Kagome calmly said. "Quite have a tantrum, cousin."

Joey looked over and ran to her. He hugged her then grabbed her upper arms and held her a bit away from him. "The next time you decide to go somewhere, tell me first."

"Joey," Kagome calmly said. "I told you this once, and I'll tell you again. Quit acting like you're my older brother because you're not. Now quit acting like a father would with his daughter. You are just my older cousin, so stop trying to control me. I do what I want and live the way I want. And there is nothing you can do about it. So back off!" She got out of his grip while he was in a shocked state and walked over to Tea in a calmer mood. "Sorry for worrying you, Tea. About this morning, I mean." Since she heard the conversation, she decided to play along with it.

"Don't worry about it," Tea replied. "I was just shocked that you weren't in the room that you slept in."

Kagome looked over to her cousin when she felt his presence behind her and looked at him. "Tea and I are going somewhere where we can talk alone, if you don't mind. I'll be back home later, so chill." Kagome grabbed Tea's arm and dragged her away. Joey just shrugged since he knew she was with someone he could trust. He left and went to go find Yugi and Tristan so they could hang out.

Kagome stopped dragging Tea when they reached the woods in the park. Kiashi transformed to her human form and jumped up into a tree and sat on a branch near the top. Tea looked at Kagome curiously before asking, "So what do you want to talk about?"

Kagome looked at Tea and sighed. She may have just met Tea, but she knew that she could trust her. "Well, you know that last night I spent the night at Kaiba's, right?"

"Of course," Tea replied. "You called and told me. Did something happen?"

"Kinda."

"Kinda? Tell me what happened, Kagome."

"Fine. I kinda have a thing about storms. I ran from the room that I was supposed to be sleeping in and ended up in another room. I usually don't know what room I go into when I run from I room at home unless I look around. I ended up in Kaiba's room."

"In Kaiba's room? What did he do?"

"I think he was still half asleep because he, uh, um, he kissed me."

Tea was in shock. She blinked a couple times and said, "He did what?"

Kagome looked at her, blushing like I was save her life and answered, "He kissed me."

"Are you serious!" Kagome nodded. "Watch out. Girls are going to be really jealous of you now that you caught Seto Kaiba's heart."

"Tea," Kagome groaned. "Stop teasing me."

"I can't help it, Kagome."

"Tea, I'm not even sure about my feelings. I mean, I told him that I like him, but I'm still not so sure."

"How can you not be sure of your own feelings?"

"Because, I'm just really confused right now. It wasn't that long ago that Inuyasha killed my friends, family, and try to kill me. And here I am with another guy. I'm just not so sure what my feelings are. Maybe I'm just afraid that I'll get hurt again."

Tea seemed to understand her. She looked at the miko and said, "I highly doubt Kaiba would want to hurt you, Kagome. He just doesn't seem the type to use someone and then throw them away like garbage. I'm sure that whatever your feelings are for him will show themselves to you sooner or later. Now, did anything else happen last night?"

"Nothing as interesting as that kiss, but I got to meet his little brother."

"Mokuba? He's a good kid. If you ask me, he acts differently than his brother. Mokuba just seems more open and trusting while Kaiba seems, I don't know, closed off and thinks that everyone is an enemy. He seems to act differently to you than he does to everyone else, though."

"Maybe I gained his respect or I'm one of the few girls who haven't thrown themselves at him like moths to a flame."

Tea shrugged. She guessed it was the second one. Kagome didn't throw herself at him like other girls would do. Kagome guessed the other. She probably gained his respect. That was what she believed anyway. "So, do you two have anything in common?"

Kagome looked over to tea and nodded. "We both have dragons."

"Kaiba has a dragon!"

Kagome smirked. "Yeah. Duel monster cards are just spirits trapped in pieces of cardboard. The spirits are just in a dormant sleep until they are called out to duel. One of Kaiba's Blue-Eye-White-Dragons was awake. He just didn't have the door to come out of. When I held the card, my powers opened the door for him, I guess. The Blue-Eyes were once a breed of dragon known as the White Lights. They went extinct before an ancient priestess named Midoriko was born. The one that Kaiba has now has a solid body and is Kaiba's dragon now. He can still turn into a card when Kaiba wants him to."

"What's his name?"

"Jikoru. He has a human form, too. In that form, he has white hair and bright blue eyes. Just to let you know if you ever see him. Then again, if you see him, Kaiba can't be too far away. A dragon never goes far away from its master."

"Do you two have anything else in common?"

"Yeah. Neither of us has very much family still alive. He has Mokuba and I have that pain in the ass of a cousin and Serenity. I have friends that I consider as family, but that's about it."

"Yikes. I didn't mean in that kind of way." They talked for a couple more hours and went into town to get a drink. They went to burger joint and got a couple of shakes. After getting their shakes, Kagome, Kiashi, and Tea went out and walked around some more. They were talking about random subjects until they went around a corner and Tea ran into what felt like a brick wall. Tea looked up to see a pair of normal blue eyes and long black hair. "Sorry," she said. "I didn't see where I was going."

Kagome looked at the stranger and wondered why he looked so familiar. "It's okay," he replied.

That voice defiantly sounded familiar. That was when it hit her. "Kouga?" she asked, unsure, yet positive.

He looked over to her and nodded. "How'd you know my name?"

Kagome smirked and said, "Wow, five hundred years and you forgot who I am. Shame, shame, Kouga. Maybe this outta ring a bell. 'I am not your woman.' Bring anything back from the back of your head yet?"

Kouga seemed surprised. "Kagome?" She nodded and was soon engulfed by a hug from the wolf demon. He put her down and looked over her. "Man, you changed. What are you doing here?"

"I'm living here with my cousin until I can move out and find a different place to stay. What are you doing here?"

"I work with Sesshomaru. He owns a company called Taisho Corp. We all came here for a bit of a vacation."

"Sesshomaru taking a vacation. Now that is something I've got to see."

"Kagome?" Tea said, finally making herself known. "Who is he?"

"Oh, sorry. I've forgotten my manners. Tea, this is Kouga, a friend of mine that is like a big brother. He's a wolf demon. Kouga, this is a new friend of mine, Tea."

"Nice to meet you," Kouga said.

"Same here," Tea replied.

"Don't even think about taking him, Tea," Kagome warned. "He already has a mate who is a little too possessive of him."

"Kagome!" Tea said. "I wasn't thinking of that."

"Sure you weren't. I can understand if you do. Kouga is an attractive wolf, even if he's mentally a cub."

"Hey!" Kouga nearly yelled. "I've matured over the past few hundred years."

"I doubt it," Kiashi spoke out. "I'll give you a few thousand years before you start acting your age, wolf boy."

"I can see that the dragon hasn't changed," Kouga said.

"This is Kiashi we're talking about," Kagome joked. "She's never going to mature. She's glaring at me right now, isn't she?" Kouga and Tea nodded their heads. "I'm ignoring it, Kiashi, so it isn't going to work." She still felt the eyes burning a hole in her head, not literally, of course. "So where are the others, Kouga?"

"Come on and I'll take you to them," Kouga replied. He looked at tea and added, "You can come along, too."

Tea walked next to Kagome who was behind Kouga and next to Kiashi. "Just as a fair warning, Tea," Kagome said. "They may look human, but the people we're going to see are all demons. Don't let them intimidate you. One of them might though, but that him."
