Hungry

DISCLAIMER: I don't own it!

A/N: This was written as a one shot and as a one hour lemon challenge on one of the lists I'm on. It happens when everyone's on Kaiba Craft 2, just after Yugi and Yami-Bakura dueled. To make it fit, Kaiba and Serenity are a bit OC. (But then maybe not on Kaiba's part- I keep remembering that strange little sound he made just as Serenity bowed her head to plead with him to land the blimp so that Bakura can get to a hospital/ To para-quote Duke in that scene "How can you resist that face?" And hence, the lemon.) Anyway, I hope you like it!


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yawning, Serenity Wheeler looked in the mini-fridge and frowned as she took in the contents. “It figures they would have eaten everything. Boys.”

She sighed as she looked around the small suite- it was quite nice considering that she had to share with her brother because they had no vacancies. She wasn’t unhappy with the situation- after all, the makeshift bed was quite comfortable and she was finally going to be able to see her brother, Joey duel. And she couldn’t wait to see it- though she had to admit it was freaky to see Yugi and Bakura duel, those holograms really were state of the art to create an entire world like that. But it was the fact that Bakura collapsed after he lost the duel and the cold, cold feeling on the observation deck that had her more than a little worried. Just the thought of that happening to Joey- it was a bit scary. She hoped that it would be different when it came time for Joey to duel.

“Whatcha doing up, sis?” Joey yawned as he rubbed his eyes. “Hungry?”

“Yeah, I didn’t feel like eating after the duel between Bakura and Yugi,” Serenity laughed ruefully. “It was too exciting and just way too cold. I never knew that it could be so cold and clammy up in the skies like that.”

“Yeah, well, the Shadow Realm kinda does that to you,” Joey said softly as he looked at her. “Are you okay? Want me to make something for you?”

Hearing the worry in Joey’s voice, Serenity shook her head. “I’ll be fine, big brother. I just need a bite to eat and it seems that I can’t get anything here.” She pointed to the open mini-fridge. “As you can see- there are only juices and drinks in here. You, Tristan and Duke ate everything up.”

“Well, we are growing boys,” Joey defended as his cheeks grew red. He grinned as a thought occurred to him. “But know what? I bet we could find some food in the kitchens of this big balloon of Kaiba’s, maybe a cup of ramen even.”

“That sounds like a great idea!” Serenity enthused as she clapped her hands together. “Do you want to come- I guess not.”

“What?” Joey asked as he yawned again. He shook his head. “I can go with you-”

“Not if you’re yawning like that,” Serenity said as she shook her head. She started to push Joey back to the bedroom. “You need to be at your best if you’re going to duel tomorrow- and you don’t need to follow me when I have a munchie attack.”

“But what happens if you get lost? It’s a big balloon,” Joey protested as he glared at her then yawned again.

Pulling on a robe over her nightgown, Serenity smiled brightly. “I’ll ask directions then. Don’t worry so much, Joey- I’ll be fine. Now get to bed.”

Yawning as he walked her to the door, Joey warned her. “All right, but if you’re not back soon, I’ll come looking for you.”

“No problem, it should only take me thirty minutes tops,” Serenity said as she walked out the door. As the door shut behind her, she looked around the corridor. “Now where was the buffet room again?”

“I’m hungry, big brother,” Mokuba said as he shook his older brother’s chair. “Seto?”

“Go get something from the fridge, Mokuba,” Seto Kaiba said as he continued to work on the computer. “There should be plenty of food in there.”

“But there’s noting that I like here,” Mokuba protested as he looked up at his brother with big eyes. He shook Seto’s arm until his brother looked at him and used his ultimate weapon- his big brown eyes. Knowing that his brother could not resist a request when he pleadingly looked up at him, he begged. “I want to have some mangos- and maybe your special made ramen?”

Letting out a heavy sigh if only for form’s sake, Kaiba hung his head. “Are you sure that you just don’t want some cold cuts from the fridge?”

“I want the Kaiba Ramen Special,” Mokuba said as his eyes gleamed with triumph. “And extra scallions and fish cake.”

“Fine,” Kaiba said as he rose from his seat and walked out the door. “Just get ready for bed so that I can get some rest. I’m going to crush Yugi tomorrow.”

“Hurry back,” Mokuba called out. “I’m really hungry.”

“Damn this balloon, it’s just way too big,” Serenity muttered as she rummaged through the cabinets looking for something to cook. Bad enough that it took her about twenty minutes to locate the galley and that she only managed to find a huge assortment of fruit and vegetables, it was worse to find out that there wasn’t any leftovers from the buffet in the main fridge and there seemed to be no packages of ramen at all. “Aha! Now to find the damn pots and pans.”

Still smiling as she quickly located the pots, she filled it with water and set it on the stove. Then she stepped back to take inventory of what she had found and placed on the kitchen island: some marble cheesecake, strawberries, mangoes, bananas, grapes, scallions, onions, cold cuts and cheeses of all kinds, slices of beef, leftover roasted chicken and a tin of caviar. Plus, there was a bottle of red wine and some popsicles in the freezer. She tapped her finger as she looked at the food, wondering what she should munch on while the water was boiling.

“What the hell is going on here?” demanded a loud voice from behind her. “What the hell are you doing in my kitchen?”

Whirling around as she let out a small shriek, Serenity bumped into the kitchen island, knocking down several pieces of fruit. Looking down at the fruit at her feet, she lifted up her head to glare at Seto Kaiba. “Look at what you just did!”

“What I did?” Kaiba said mildly as he looked at the intruder in his galley that was now kneeling to pick up the fallen fruit. He shook his head as he noticed the way her lithe body swayed back and forth and her hair touched the floor.

“Yes, what you did,” Serenity snapped back as she looked up, giving him a very nice view of her cleavage as her robe gaped open and allowed her nightgown to show. She flicked her hair back as she frowned at him. “Now get down on your knees and help me pick these up before we step on them.”

Lifting an eyebrow at her order, Kaiba knelt down and started to pick up the fruit. “You never answered my question: What are you doing here?”

Blowing the hair from her eyes, she sighed as she looked at him, “Isn’t it obvious? I’m hungry so I decided to come here and get some food. Just like you?”

“I’m not here because I’m hungry,” Kaiba said loftily.

“Then because you couldn’t sleep because of who’s going to duel tomorrow?” Serenity asked.

“I can sleep anywhere I want to,” Kaiba said shortly.

“So then if you’re not in the galley because you’re hungry or because you couldn’t sleep, then why are you here? Curiosity?” Serenity demanded as she looked at him. “Or is it a top secret?”

Lifting an eyebrow at her tone, Kaiba frowned at her. “I’m here because Mokuba is hungry.”

“Oh, and you couldn’t just say that,” Serenity said as she looked at him slightly annoyed. At his silence, she shook her head. ‘Not much of a conversationalist, is he? Still he let you on the balloon so you could see Joey duel- so be nice.’

Picking up a strawberry, Serenity tried to start a conversation again. “I just didn’t know that this balloon was so big.”

“It’s not a balloon,” Kaiba said automatically as he picked up a grape. “It’s a blimp.”

Shrugging it away, Serenity picked up another piece of fruit. “Either way, it still uses hot air to run, doesn’t it?”

“Not exactly,” Kaiba said as he rolled his eyes. He looked at her. “You’re Wheeler’s sister, aren’t you?”

Smiling as she looked at him, Serenity nodded. “I’m Serenity- thanks for letting me come aboard, Kaiba.”

“It wasn’t my choice,” Kaiba said automatically, making her smile falter. He shrugged. “But you’re welcome anyway.”

“And thank you for letting Bakura use your medical facilities,” Serenity said as she looked at him. She blinked as she saw a slight reddening of his cheeks. “Kaiba?”

“We weren’t going to stop for something so useless,” Kaiba said as he found another piece of fruit. He felt his cheeks reddening- there was no way in hell he was going to be looking at her. Seto Kaiba did not blush at girls when they said thanks or did any other thing. “Especially when we have a medical facility here.”

“Oh- okay,” Serenity said softly as she watched him, fascinated by the way he avoided looking at her, as if he had something to hide. ‘Maybe he’s shy?’ “But thank you anyway. I know that my big brother cares about Bakura because he’s a friend.”

“Whatever,” Kaiba snorted as he picked up a last piece of fruit. Standing, he looked at the fruit in his hands. They looked fine, but he wasn’t about to eat fruit off the floor. “I’m going to throw these out.”

“You can’t do that,” Serenity exclaimed as she looked at him in surprise. “They’re still perfectly good and it’s such a waste. All you have to do is clean them.”

“I don’t clean fruit,” Kaiba said as he looked down at her imperiously.

“Well, you’re going to be doing it now,” Serenity said mutinously as she nudged him towards the sink then grabbed his hands and made him open them, allowing the fruit to fall. She turned on the water with one hand, afraid that he would escape if she let him go. She put a pile of grapes in his hands and made him rub them together under the running water, with her hands guiding his. “See? You wash them like this.”

“I see,” Kaiba said as he felt his cheeks blush again as she leaned against his side, her soft breasts leaning against his upper arm and elbow. Swallowing hard as he tried to ignore his growing erection, he looked down, watching her hands on top of his as she showed him how to clean fruit. Her small hands were barely half the size of his; and they were soft as they rubbed on top of his hands softly, gently. He wondered how those soft hands would feel rubbed against his body- all over his body. ‘Down boy- you don’t want to get involved with her. She’s the idiot’s kid sister.’

“You’re getting it,” Serenity said softly as she leaned against him- her breasts against his upper arm. She inhaled sharply as she felt her nipples get hard at the feel of his muscles brushing against her. She clenched her jaw and cursed the fact that her breasts, ever since she developed them, were the most sensitive parts of her body. That was why she was always wearing a heavier pink and yellow vest over her tee shirt. But she wasn’t wearing her vest now- she was only wearing her thin cotton nightgown and robe. And she was never aware of how little she was wearing until that moment. ‘And no underwear- don’t forget that you forgot that you went commando tonight, Serenity. Not a good thing.’

Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves down, Serenity pulled her hands away as soon as all the fruit was washed. Looking up, she forced a smile on her lips. “I think the water’s ready, Kaiba. Now we can put in some ramen.”

“Sounds good,” Kaiba said as he flicked the water off his hands. Ignoring the way he was starting to strain against the zipper in his pants, he worked his jaw before he looked down at Serenity…and his eyes immediately focused on the lovely framed view of her cleavage. With not a little amount of effort, he forced his eyes to look up at her face then regretted it when they focused in on her lips. He felt his cock stand at attention as her tongue darted out to wet her lips as she said something. Fighting for control again, he cleared his throat. “What did you say?”

Licking her lips again, Serenity repeated her question. “Do you want to have some something else other than ramen, Kaiba?”

‘Hentai!’ Kaiba scowled as the image of her wearing only the ramen noodles popped up in his head. ‘Since when are you so hard up for a quick fuck?’ Aloud, he said, “Mokuba likes to have scallions and fish cake in his ramen.”

“Oh- okay,” Serenity said quickly as she moved away from him, wondering about what she did to make the scowl on his face appear. She grabbed the scallions and onions then started washing them as she pointed at the fridge. “I have the scallions and onions, but I didn’t see any fish cake in the fridge. So you look for them if you want them.”

“I’ll find them,” Kaiba said as he marched over to the fridge and opened it wide. He relished the burst of cold air as it hit his heated body. He gripped the door handle as he fought to control his body. ‘What the hell is wrong with me? I have no time for this! I have to win the Battle City Tournament and those Egyptian God cards. Besides, she’s the idiot’s sister- that’s a connection you don’t need! I have a bunch of other girls after me and who know what I like. Girls who have bigger tits and better bodies and more brains. So why the fuck is my body reacting to her? Was there something in my food?’

“Did you find the fish cakes yet?” Serenity called out as she chopped the onions and scallions. Calmer now that Kaiba was away from her, she was able to think about her body’s reaction to Kaiba. ‘It has to be the height and blue eyes. I’ve always been attracted to tall men with blue eyes. Or it could be that it’s almost that time of the month- I always get horny when it’s almost time for my period. That could be it. But then wouldn’t the pills the doctor gave me control the hormonal attacks? Maybe it’s all three?’

“Not yet,” Kaiba called back as he slammed shut the fridge door and opened the freezer. ‘I bet it’s because she’s barely dressed and her tits are practically hanging out. I’m a normal guy with normal needs- that’s why my cock is hard. Knowing she’s probably not wearing all that much- that’s what set my cock off. That’s it.’ Relieved to have thought of a reason, Kaiba smiled as he grabbed a bag of fish cakes, buried under the frozen peas and vegetables. “Found it.”

“Great!” Serenity said as she beamed a smile at him. She pointed to the microwave. “If you put it in there- it’ll be faster to cook.”

“Right,” Kaiba said as he headed towards the microwave in three steps. He threw the bag in and set the timer while worked his jaw, cursing the return of his hard on. ‘Okay- maybe it-’ “What? What happened?”

Tears running down her face, Serenity lifted up a bloodied finger as she looked up at him. “I just cut myself.”

“You should be more careful,” Kaiba scolded as he headed towards the First Aid kit. He cupped her small hand into his as he examined the small slice on her finger, again noting how her hand was dwarfed in his. ‘Her hand is so tiny’ He cleared his throat. “It seems you made a clean cut.”

Without much ado, he quickly disinfected and bandaged the small cut. Kaiba held her wounded hand gently as he wiped a tear from her face. “Feel better?”

Giving him a grateful smile, Serenity sniffed as she looked at him. “Thanks. The knife just slipped as I was cutting the scallions and I cut myself.”

“It’s okay- it happens,” Kaiba said gruffly as he looked at her. He blinked as she gave him another smile. He saw her eyes widen as he lowered his head towards hers.

“Oh excuse me,” called out a voice. “I didn’t know what was going on here.”

Pulling up sharply, Kaiba glared at the tall, dark-skinned man who once held his brother prisoner, Marik Ishtar. He noted that the brown eyes of that tattooed face was carefully studying Serenity. Without thinking, he pushed Serenity behind him. “What the hell do you want?”

Walking over to the island, Marik picked up a banana and a few grapes. “Other than your Obelisk the Destroyer? And the Pharaoh’s Slifer the Sky Dragon? I was looking for something fresh to eat. These will do.”

“Since I’m not giving him up, take the fruits and go,” Kaiba ordered through narrowed eyes. As the older man started walking out without worrying about him, he snarled, “And don’t forget that I‘ll make you pay for kidnapping Mokuba. No one uses my little brother.”

“Do as you will,” Marik said without breaking his stride or with a backward glance.

“Damn him- I’ll break him yet,” Kaiba growled as he slammed a hand on the island and stared at the swinging doors. As he straightened, he realized that there was someone clinging to his back. Twisting himself around, he saw Serenity staring fearfully at the doors. “What’s wrong?”

Blindly looking up, Serenity’s voice trembled. “I don’t know- I just don’t like that man! There’s something strange about him and I don’t like him!” She buried her face into his chest as she shivered. “He scares me!”

At a loss as she wrapped her arms around his torso, Kaiba started to rub her shoulder like he used to do to Mokuba when he had bad dreams about how their parents died. “It’s all right. He won’t hurt you. He won’t hurt anybody again.”

“But he’s so scary, Kaiba!” Serenity whispered as she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. “Joey said that he took over his mind and that he made him fight Yugi! His best friend?” She shivered as she looked at the doors, still seeing him there in her mind. “What kind of monster does that to people? How do you stop a monster like that?”

“He’ll be stopped,” Kaiba said again as he made her look at him. “I promise you.”

“But how can he be stopped?” Serenity demanded as she looked up at him. “How can you think that you can- hey- what are you- mpfh!”

Irritated at her doubting him, he did the only thing he could- he yanked her up and kissed her. That was the last thing he remembered when his lips touched hers and his mouth started to have a mind of his own, devouring her.

Her name was Serenity but the moment his lips touched hers, she was anything but serene.

In fact, she was on fire and she was in the middle of burning herself up. She couldn’t wait for it to happen. Everywhere his body touched her- it was like she was one huge raw nerve. She could feel the hard length of him as he pulled her closer to his hard body. She could feel the cold metal belt buckle as it pressed against her stomach. She could feel his long, elegant hands as they gripped her bottom, pulling the heat of her closer to his groin.

Wanting to feel more of that part him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, rubbing against him. She shivered as the friction made the heat in her spiral up and making him groan into her mouth.

“Vixen,” Kaiba hissed as he brought her against the counter, pinning her lower half with his, letting her feel him. His eyes gleamed as he slowly thrust his pelvis up into hers, making her throw her head back and her mouth form wordless noises. He did it again and again until she looked at him helplessly. “Like that, vixen?”

Grabbing his collar, Serenity could only hold on and gasp out his name as he thrust his hips up into hers. “Kaiba!”

“What?” Kaiba rasped as he brought his face closer to hers. He grinned as she lifted her head up mindlessly, her lips pursing up for a kiss. He brought his face down towards her then ducked under her chin to nip at the flesh at the base of her throat. He vaguely heard her moan out his name as he heavily sucked at the skin there. Chuckling into her flesh, he made his lips move lower as his fingers yanked down the bodice of her nightgown, revealing the hardened nipples. His hand gripped one hardened peak and played with it as his mouth sucked in its twin and played with it between his tongue and teeth. He felt her move restlessly against him but he ruthlessly pinned her against the counter as he growled fiercely against her breast.

“Kaiba!” Serenity screamed as the world exploded and went black. As consciousness slowly filtered through her mind and her lungs demanded air, she felt herself being lowered and soon felt the cold tiles against her back. Forcing her eyes open, she blinked as her eyes met with the stormy blue of Kaiba. “What- What was that?”

“That, my dear Serenity, was an orgasm,” Kaiba smirked as he lowered his head to kiss her. Pleased as her arms came to wrap themselves around his neck, he pulled away just as her tongue started to respond to his. He placed a nipping kiss on her chin as his hand ducked under her gown, stroking her legs soothingly. “Did you like it?”

“It was- I felt- it was explosive,” Serenity admitted as she searched for a better word. “It felt as if I were- Eep! Kaiba!”

“Well, well, what do we have here?” Kaiba purred as he cupped the nest of wet curls between her legs. He heard her moan out his name as he used the pad of his hand to rub against her little bundle of nerves. He felt himself grow harder as he rubbed his hand the soft, slick skin. “Or is it what don’t we have here?”

“Kai-ba! Stop- stop that!” Serenity moaned as pleasure started to spike through her again. She arched her back when she felt something long and hard inside her channel and rub hard against her walls. She moaned as she felt her lower muscles clench at the intrusion and her hips lifted to try and keep him inside her. She heard him give a low chuckle in her ear at her efforts.

“Like that, do you?” She heard him say as she brought her legs together in order to keep his hand where it was. Her tongue darted out as she tried to control her raging nerves- then that wonderful hard feel of him inside her was gone. She lifted her head to see Kaiba struggling to unbuckle his belt and lower his zipper at the same time. “Kaiba?”

“Hush, Serenity,” Kaiba ordered as he finally managed to undo his pants and shoved them down to his knees. He felt relief as his cock sprung free from its confines. He wanted to take off all of his clothes and hers, but his body was demanding satisfaction. Now.

“Oh my,” Serenity gasped as she stared at the long part of him that was jutting out of a nest of springy curls. She felt her heart drop to her stomach as her eyes measured the length and thickness of him. ‘That isn’t going to fit-’

Kaiba heard her gasp and lifted his head to look at her. His cock twitched as her eyes widened as she stared at him with her mouth wide open. Not willing to give her a chance to think about it, he practically tackled her as he settled himself between her thighs. “Let’s do this-”

Shocked out of her sensual haze, reality started slapping Serenity in the face. Immediately, she started to struggle against him. “Kaiba! Wait! I have to tell you-”

“No more waiting,” Kaiba grunted as he rammed himself into her- and felt a barrier give way as she cried out in pain. Gritting his teeth, he held her still as she struggled against him, slapping at his back and trying to push him off her. Finally, he manacled her hands against her head and held her until she stopped. Lifting his head, he glared at her. “Damn it- why didn’t you tell me that you were a virgin?”

“I was trying to!” Serenity shouted back at him as tears ran down her face. She felt her lips start to tremble from the pain of his intrusion. “I don’t want to do this- let me go!”

“Not a chance,” Kaiba groaned as he gripped her tighter. He lowered his head to kiss her- and inexplicably was hurt when she turned her face away from him. “What?”

“I don’t want to do this anymore,” Serenity repeated as she glared up at him. “It hurts. And this floor is cold.”

Though his body was demanding completion, Kaiba felt himself softening as he looked at her trembling lips. “It won’t hurt any more- I promise. Just let me-”

“No! I said that I don’t want to do this anymore,” Serenity sniffed as tears started to come out. “There isn’t anything you can do to make it better.”

“Just let me try,” Kaiba crooned into her ear and nuzzled it. “It felt good before- didn’t it? I can make you feel good like that again.”

“But it hurts when you move,” Serenity sniffed as she looked at him. “It hurts when you move.”

“Just trust me,” Kaiba crooned as he kissed away her tears. As she shivered, he let one hand go then stroked the place where they were joined. He clenched his teeth as she began to adjust herself around his cock. He pushed himself further into her then stopped as she cried out.

“You moved! Stop!” Serenity sobbed as she glared at him. “It still hurts!”

“I promise- it won’t anymore,” Kaiba crooned as sweat dotted his fore head and continued to stroke at their joining. When she started to restlessly move her legs against him, he lowered himself on top of her, kissing her as her inner muscles clenched him. He felt his eyes start to cross as she started to take more of him into her tight channel.

“Kaiba,” Serenity whispered as she started to feel like she did before he entered her. Her eyes closed as his fingers rubbed over her little nubbin, sending sparks of pleasure all through her system. Then he moved- and the pain of it mixed with pleasure. “Oh!”

“Grab my neck,” Kaiba ordered as he saw the spasm of surprised pleasure ripple through her face. His mouth latched on to hers as he thrust into her faster and faster, pumping into her mercilessly. He felt himself start to lose control as her inner muscles started to grip him like a vise, demanding more of him. Blackness started to edge around his eyes as he buried himself inside her deeper and deeper until there was nothing except an exploding universe and a vague scream that reverberated inside of him.

“Kaiba!” Serenity screamed into his mouth as the world exploded around her again. Wrenching her mouth away from his, she could only pant as she tried to get a control of herself. “That was- that was-”

“Yeah,” Kaiba panted as he looked down at her. Masculine pride had him looking at her with some amount of satisfaction. Her eyes were half closed with sense of newly discovered pleasure. Her hair was spread out like a fan under her head and her lips were swollen from his kisses. And her breasts were completely revealed as they rested atop of her yanked down bodice. She looked like she had been totally fucked- no, not fucked. ‘She looks like she was ravished by the devil’ He was about to say something else when he heard a noise. Alert, he cocked his head to catch more of the sound. Slowly, his body tensed as he faced the door.

“Is this the galley?” called out a voice. “Is there anyone here?”

“I don’t think that there’s anyone here, Joey,” said a second voice.

“She has to be here, Mokuba. Serenity said she was going to cook some ramen and then come back,” Joey said. “Hey Serenity! You in here?”

“Joey!” Serenity whispered, horrified at the thought of her brother seeing her like this. She started to struggle from under Kaiba. “Get up! We have to hide! Joey!”

Yanking her up as he grabbed the ends of his pants, Kaiba dragged her towards a wall- hitting a hidden control board that opened a door next to her. “Get in.”

“What is this?” Serenity asked a she went in after him. She clutched at his coat as he touched another panel, closing the door. Immediately, the lights went on and a small screen with sound dropped down. It showed the shadowy images of the people who were in the dining room. She sucked in her breath as she saw Joey and Mokuba entered the kitchen- calling out their names.

Watching the two look around the kitchen, Kaiba sat down on an available chair, pulling Serenity on to his lap, stroking her back to ease her tension. “It’s a secret room for me when I really, really want to get away from everyone- including Mokuba. I have a bunch of these hidden all over the craft.”

“Even in the kitchen?” Serenity asked as she stared at him. She looked around to see that they were seated in a Spartan miniature office, complete with a comfortable CEO chair and desk set, futon and computer screen. The room was just big enough for one person to work or sleep in.

“Even in the kitchen,” Kaiba confirmed as he kissed her ear. He smiled as she shivered and covered her breast with his hand. He felt her nipple start to harden into a little berry, so his fingers moved to lightly pinch it. He kissed her jaw line. “I sometimes- get hungry when I hide.”

“Kai-ba,” Serenity moaned as she felt herself move to give him better access to her. She felt herself become aware of the hard bulge at her hip and tried to move herself to try and feel more of it, her knee hitting the bottom of the desk. She was barely aware of the pain and was about to move again when-

“Aha! There it is!” shouted Joey’s voice. Serenity froze as she swung her head to look at where her brother’s voice came from- the view screen.

“See! She was here!” Joey crowed as he pointed at the food. “Or at least someone was.”

Feeling her stiffen in his lap, Kaiba nuzzled her ear again. “Ignore the idiot- he’ll go away.”

“Maybe it was Seto,” Mokuba suggested as he looked at the food then wandered to the food storage rooms. “Hey, big brother! Are you here?”

“Kai-ba! We-we can’t! They’re out there- and- and-” Serenity gasped as she pulled away and pulled her bodice back up. She winced as there was another twinge of pain between her legs. “It hurts still.”

“Fine,” Kaiba sighed as he leaned back then frowned as she refused to look at him. Deciding to change tactics, he pulled up the lapels of her robe, covering her up to her neck. At her questioning look, he shrugged, “You have a hickey.”

“Oh!” Serenity said as she stared at him then felt the blood rush to her face. “Oh, dear.”

“Just cover your neck,” Kaiba chuckled as he looked at her red face. He lifted her chin to make her look at him. “You know that this won’t be the last time, Serenity.”

“It- it won’t?” Serenity blinked as she clutched the lapels of her robe at her neck. She felt her heart beat faster as she stared at him. Her breath was caught in her throat as he placed a finger under her chin and she was caught in his intense blue eyes.

“It won’t,” Kaiba affirmed as he gently kissed her lips and smirked. “I just got a taste of you- and I think that I’m hungry for more.” He stood up and retied her robe before taking her hand and leading her to a door just opposite the door they came through. “Come on. Let’s go before they start tearing up the kitchen and eat up all the ramen.”

Dazed, Serenity docilely followed him as he pulled her towards another door leading towards the corridor just outside the dining room. Funny- it seemed that she found that she wasn’t hungry for ramen anymore.
