May 30 2007: Author's nonsense: Boy is moving a pain in the (insert bad word here)! I haven't even finished packing up one of my rooms and I've already put like a good 14 hours of work into things. One thing I've learned - I'm a pack rat with too much junk! However, I wanted a break from that sorta thing and decided that I should answer all my nifty reviews with another chapter of my fiction. I'm so generous J. Anyway, enough patting myself on the back - I'm going to start the new entry now.

End of Chapter 25:

He clicked a few things then shook his head in the negative. "No Kagome. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Seto." she replied, closing her eyes to rest while he worked next to her.

Chapter 26: Alluring Distractions

Kagome settled her hands on the back of the cool alabaster leather of Kaiba's jacket, pressing against his back as she felt wind passing over her cheeks and playing with her own sable locks. The thick coat snapping as it also caught in the gusts passing them by and making her smile as she touched her cheek to his collar.

"This is nice." She thought absently. "Just how Inuyasha used to carry me…"

She blinked in drowsy confusion and looked around to see that she was actually in the dark, waking up from some sort of strange vision where Kaiba had taken on the role of her former crush. She tried to grasp details of the bizarre dream but found they were fading fast at her waking.

Kaiba had jumped in front of her and taken some sort of strange blast of light, shielding her from the brunt of the unknown attack before he snatched her up like the half-demon she loved for so long used to do and carried her away while something was chasing after them, she couldn't really remember more than that and she was growing quickly more distracted as she came more fully into consciousness.

The room was completely dark except for a single stripe of light barely making it through the door but she could feel Kaiba against her where he had fallen asleep, his head was near hers, his calm breath warm on her neck and shoulder while some of his hair barely tickled her ear - his nose pressed gently against her jaw. One of his arms had settled around her waste and he was holding her lightly there, arm draped over her abdomen, his other arm had snaked under her neck and then bent to the point that his fingers were teasing the flesh of her hand as if he'd stopped short of taking it.

She was entangled in his grasp and she had to admit she didn't mind it but the alluring distraction that was Seto Kaiba made it impossible for her to think about sleep and she felt a blush rushing to her face when she paused to consider just what it was she was thinking about instead. Even in all her time liking Inuyasha things never went further than a hug or kiss - they had never really slept in each others arms and certainly she'd never really deeply thought about taking things further than such simple affections.

The new reactions she was having, the way her body seemed to ache for in ways she didn't understand, the lack of guilt when she'd been making out in her home, it was all foreign to her and exciting and frightening and confusing. She glanced toward the table, tempted to check the time, knowing that in her sudden uncertainty that the minutes would be moving much slower.

Kaiba shifted and then held her a bit tighter a short moment as his head tilted more, his lips skimming the subtle skin of her shoulder and she stiffened a little; the innocently provocative touch making it almost impossible to fight the urge to turn and just start making out with him. The continued stimulating respiration enough that she was suddenly asking herself why she wasn't turning and making out with him, he was her boyfriend wasn't he? Her exceptionally sexy and subconsciously incubus-like boyfriend that was holding her in the middle of the night and half driving her mad with enigmatic desire.

She finally just gave in, moving her body slowly so as to not start him awake and raising a hand to lift his chin slowly, able to picture his face but wishing there was more light just so she could watch him in his slumber for a while - it was one of very few times she figured he was truly at peace with things. After taking a long moment to picture his face she leaned forward to touch his lips with hers, parting them with her tongue just a hint and smile just a bit as he started to return the gently passionate kiss.

She felt his fingers curl into her hair as he muttered something that was muffled further by the fact that they were still pressed so close together, all lingering thoughts of sleep were gone as she felt his other hand rubbing over her back and pulling her smaller form even closer, she'd been pulled atop him before she realized that he had moved her so much.

The lingering kiss didn't break until the hand on her back went under her shirt and deftly unclasped the back of her bra. She broke off then, staring at where she pictured his eyes must be in surprise he couldn't possibly make out. The pause seemed to give him the time to not just fully awaken but add together everything that was happening between them. The heavier rub turning into a more comforting stroke when he finally sensed her tenseness.

"Kagome…" his voice was softer than usual but still held a slightly groggy tone left over from the fact that he'd just been deep in slumber. "Are you all right?"

She was still not sure what to say, embarrassed now by the fact that she'd frozen up like that, not sure if she wanted to keep going or if she wanted to try to shrink into nothingness in the deep shadows. Finally another nudge made her realize she would have to say or do something.

"I…um…" she sputtered a bit. "I was just…you know…and I figured…"

He had to be smug, she could just picture it in answer to her stuttering.

"Kagome." His voice managed to comfort her and she couldn't help but smile when he ran his fingers through her hair. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. I'm not going to push you into anything, though it's pretty devious of you to wake me up like this. Suppose I deserve it for falling asleep in here, though it's an odd way to try to get rid of me."

She had to laugh, it was rare enough that the young man told a joke and she had to appreciate that he was trying to make her feel better. "You must be tired if you are lightening up." She hovered close, still arguing with herself that she could do this and that she was ready to go further than just making out.

"Well you are making it difficult to sleep." he pointed out, running his hand that was still under her shirt along her spine, pressing her back down a little onto him when he reached it's end, showing her that his body at least was without-a-doubt attracted to her. She blushed a little more but wasn't going to complain at the feelings that movement brought out for her either.

She finally gave in and returned her lips to his, pressing a little closer and adjusting her legs so she could press against him with her hips easier, he'd lost his pants before he'd passed out next to her and so with only his boxers left she grinned when he let a soft moan escape. There was something about being the reason that he made noises like that that was entrancing and empowering, it helped build her confidence behind the actions she was taking.

He aided her by pressing her closer, deepening the kiss and moving his hand along the bare skin of her back before curling it around to the front and teasing her nipple, making her gasp and shiver a bit giving her another pause while she lingered on top of the young CEO. He broke off their kiss, taking a breath before starting to kiss along her jaw, tilting her head back so he could continue the trail down her neck, biting gently or running his teeth over her.

"mmm…" she half-mumbled the moan as he continued to show her such affection, fingers fighting to retain the dexterity to pull at the shirt he was wearing, breaking away from him long enough to get the interfering fabric free of his magnetic body.

He tugged her own bra and shirt free at the same time, moving her body with his surprisingly strong arms to where she was beneath him, the sudden change of positions making her blush as he paused to try (and fail) to look at her body in the poor lighting. Even knowing he couldn't see her didn't make her less bashful about it, the thoughts of bashfulness quickly fled however when he returned his lips to her skin, moving further down her body and over her bare chest before continuing the trek down, his hands pulling her underwear free of his intended target.

Her back arced upward and she dug her nails into his hair and shoulder when he reached said destination, eyes widening a bit before pressing closed with another low moan of approval. He used his nails to tease the inside of her thighs while his tongue did it's work with her.

Kagome's arms moved out to grasp at the bedding when she slammed one hand into the laptop that was still on the bed nearby, knocking it off the side with a crash that made them both jump. She blinked and started to move with a muttered apology when Kaiba growled at her lightly and tugged her back to where she was.

"Leave it." His voice thick with desire made her unwilling to question the quiet command and then forgetting about the expensive piece of equipment as he returned to fulfilling her own passions, making her grow dizzier by the second with a voracious need of her own. The sudden building of pleasure back again as she whimpered with yearning to reach the moment of pleasurable release that was whispering at the edge of her senses.

When he stopped her unintelligible whimper seemed more like a mumbled begging and she nodded against his shoulder when he asked her if she was ready for this, her body wanting him so much that her better judgment was tossed to the side without much hesitation. She would have agreed to anything in those moments of heightened passion.

End Chapter

Well, a bit citrus-y for me but that's okay sometimes. Also a little shorter than I originally wanted it but that was where I planned to stop and leave you all a nifty cliffhanger as to the result of this almost lemon. For the future: Only my imagination knows.
