Confusion?

"Nuh-uh, you aren't getting away that easy." I wispered to him.

He growled as I pulled him close. He doesn't like being dominated, I could guess. Then again, I think I knew that to an extent when I met him. Of course, it wasn't in a sexual way, more like no one ever gets the best of him. And no one does. As soon as I kissed him, he took over and thrust his tongue into my mouth. He pretty much led the path from there.

But when we seperated, something I decided to do, we didn't talk, we just stared each other down. We left together, walking far apart after exting the lake, though. Seto left me more confused after I had swum, however short the swim had been, then when I had decided to go for a swim. My life had gone from relativly uncomplicated to having more confusion then the mystery that had surrounded the Millenium Items.

The next morning I was awake way before I normally would be. Way before anyone else was. Atleast I think I was, I didn't leave my room. I was going through way to much to get up. My head was spinning and throbbing, it felt like I had been pounding it on a cement brick all night long. My stomache was churning as if it was going through the spin cycle.

I sighed and ran my hands through my very tangled hair. I guessed I would have to comb it out for once. It was always a mess, unlike Seto's, which was always neatly in place. But thinking about Seto's near-perfect hair got me thinking about everything else that was perfect about him. Which led me to thinking about the dream I had. It had been so vivid, so . . . I don't know the word for it. Heavenly? Whatever it was I wanted to experiance it again. Yet, the thought of it freaked me out. How could I ever want to make out with Seto Kaiba? Oh, but he felt so perfect against me. His arms around me, his lips on mine.

Abruptly I sat up, my shoulders sagging. How could I have made out with Kaiba? Well, however I did do it, I don't know how to handle it.

Throwing off the blankets, I stamped to the bathroom and showered, hoping it would help me clear my mind. It didn't. Wet and dripping with a towel around my waist, I walked out of the bathroom, head lowered. To bad my head wasn't up so I could see my surroundings because I ran into something hard. Something hard and yeilding. Something hard and yeilding and, and warm. Suspecting the worst, I slowly raised my head to stare first into a cotton t-shirt - black and mine - then a strong neck, followed by thin pink lips, a strong nose and then stormy blue eyes. Something sparked in them when my eyes met his, something flared up, caught fire and enveloped every inch of the orbs. And this surprised me. No emotion ever showed in his eyes. Right now they were so filled with passion that I felt the fire in his eyes would transfer to me and I would burn, burn so completely that I would never want to be anywhere without Seto and his fire.

"Uh . . .," I uttered, this was going so far. I, for once, had nothing to say.

"Yes, puppy?" he wispered, his voice husky. Anymore of this and I would have to take another shower. Hmm, maybe he'd join me. Oh god, don't go there.

"I'm waiting," Seto sung out. He had a good singing voice.

"Yeah? So am I." I managed to say. Well, what else was there to say?

"For what?" Seto inquired, raising his eyebrows. That expression that he used so often that it might as well be copy written as his. I loved it. Darn, go away thoughts.

"Something to say," I responded and he smiled. Really smiled. It reached his eyes and showed his perfectly srtaight, white teeth. Man, am I in love with him or something?

"Oh? How about, why?" he provided.

"Why what?" I asked, confused now. I seemed to be confused alot lately.

"Why you kissed me," he answered. I think he really wanted a serious answer to that. But what could I give him? A confession that would most likely leave me a fool? Or a lie that might hurt him? What do I care if I hurt him, anyway? Except I do

"I kissed you because I wanted to," Stupid ability to think, come back! I need you!

"So you wanted to kiss me?" Seto inquired. Couldn't he go away. Let me get my thoughts straight. Let me kiss him. Dang!

"I wanted you to kiss me but you backed off," I truthfully answered. I hate honesty! Oh well, it's out there now. Just let me get struck by lightening, burn to a crisp and my ashes scattered in the winds.

"That's a little dramatic, isn't it?" Seto quirked his eyebrow, smirking. Huh? Was' he talking about? That thought must have shown on my face because he elaborated. "You didn't mean to say the 'lightneing strick me, burn me, ashes to wind' thing, did you?"

Uh oh, I didn't mean to say that. I thought I only thought it. "No."

"And you wanted me to kiss you?"

"YES!" Oh, my, didn't mean to shout that, either.

"Idiot, want to wake everyone up?" Before I could answer or respond to the angry glimmer in his eyes, he smashed his lips to mine. And it was just as searing as the night before. His arms were suddenly around me, drawing me to him, crushing us together. I followed suit, encircling my arms around his neck and bringing him even closer.

I don't know how long we stayed like that, but the sound of steps coming lightly down the hall seperated us. I started going back to my room hurridly, but Seto grabbed my arm, again.

"We aren't finished with this . . . conversation yet, Joey." His voice was still husky, still made my heart beat faster. Damn him!

"I know, I got out then ran into my room, nearly slamming my door. Seto, well I don't know what he did, but I heard the bathroom door close so I suspect he went into it like he had planned on doing all along. Or maybe he knew it was me in there and had planned on nearly cornering me. Whatever. I don't care. Major lie there.

I fell back onto my bed, surprised to find the losely tied towel still around my waist, and closed my eyes, trying to still the fast beating of my heart.

A/N: This took a freaky amount of time to do. But writters block can do that to a person. And I had a lot of work and tests to do. And I've been sick. Still am but the medicine made me hyper and able to write. I could even continue to write except I have to get off so my brother can do his homework. So, I know you don't care about that. Review, review, review! PLEASE! And thanks to those who reviewed before. Much apreciated! Oh, and ignore any grammar/spelling mistakes that are in here. I just want to get this posted so you guys don't have to wait any longer.
