A warm breeze flowed in through the open bedroom window, allowing fresh air in the muggy room. Kaiba inhaled deeply as the atmosphere of the bedroom slowly shifted to a much more relaxed setting. These days, these were the moments he lived for. A warm night, a quiet room after making love to the woman he adored, watching over his precious possession as she slept.

Kaiba wrapped his arms around Ishizu and closed his eyes. When he opened them, she was still there. They had been together for so long, and yet, he was still almost surprised to see her sleeping there beside him. Her breath was shallow but he could feel it's warmth against his skin and feel her heart beating against his chest. Kaiba allowed his hands to run freely down all the curves of her body. He love the way she felt and looked, even better, under the covers.

Kaiba continued to skirt the outlines of her body with his fingers, tickling her senses. Somewhat affected by the interaction, Ishizu subconsciously brought her hand up to Kaiba's face and left it there. He smiled, nuzzling the hand, before taking it and placing it in his own. He truly loved those hands, as he loved everything else about her. To him, they perfectly symbolized everything about her.

Her fingers were long and skinny with knuckles that were slightly darker than the rest of her hand. They also had small lines that were beginning to disappear. The lines were probably caused by countless nights, wringing her hands together in worry. That was back when her hands were hardening from the pressure and all the hard work she was doing. But even then, they were tender. Despite all that had happened in the past, her hands were soft now. There was a mystical glow to them, making then elegant and beautiful. Her hands weren't perfect, but then again, neither was she. And that's exactly how he wanted her.

As Kaiba continued to massage Ishizu's hands, he came upon his favorite detail. It was his own little donation, which made it his own personal favorite. A 14 karat diamond engagement ring with platinum setting and wedding band! It wasn't much but Ishizu kept a special place for it in her heart. Ishizu had bashfully worn that ring for five months before he and she exchanged vows six months ago. Kaiba stopped massaging to admire the craftsmanship of the giant rock on her hand as it sparkled against the moonlight that had filtered in through the open window. He had to admit, he'd outdone himself.

He didn't like to tute his own horn very often, but even he was in awe of the mountainous diamond on her elegant finger. Kaiba brought her hand up to his face and kissed it and breathed in the smell of it. He also loved the way they smelled. They smelled like…well…hands! Nothing more, nothing less. But that's how he loved them. Kaiba kissed her hand again and finally let go of it, only to pull her in closer to him.

For the second time that night, soft skin kissed soft skin as Kaiba pulled Ishizu beside him. As her heart beat steadily in her chest, his heart pounded in contrast, creating a rhythmic beat. Kaiba still feeling romantic and in the mood for doing something cliché, nuzzled and kissed the side of her neck and shoulder. He almost wished she were awake, but he didn't try to disturb her too much. She had a good reason to be exhausted. Women have been known to sleep for weeks after a steamy night with…Mr. Kaiba. But on a serious note, her life hadn't changed much after becoming Ishizu Kaiba. She still worked two full time jobs that took up just about all her time, which is what made tonight so special.

Kaiba admired how the both of them had been able to keep the sparks alive after being with each other, off and on, for about five years. After all that they'd been through, and with him now being twenty-three and she being twenty-five, they didn't look much older. Kaiba brushed away a few long strands of stray hair that had fallen across her face. As he did, he ran his fingers across her lips and stroked the side of her face, admiring the natural beauty she held. Slowly, Kaiba lowered his lips to hers and kissed them ever-so softly.

Without warning, the kiss was returned, just as softly. When he opened his eyes he saw Ishizu's sparkling blue-green eyes looking right back at him.

"You've been watching me again, haven't you?" Ishizu said, sleepily.

""What can I say, I'm in awe." Kaiba said softly.

"Of what, Mr. Kaiba?" Ishizu teased. Kaiba smirked as she arched an eyebrow up and down.

"Of you, Mrs. Kaiba." He said, feeling playful and kissing her once again.

"You're a smooth talker."

"Oh, but I mean it. It's been a perfect night. No distractions or anything. Perfect."

"You know, you're right. It's been too good a night." Ishizu eyed the door suspiciously. She tried to pull herself out of bed only to find that Kaiba wasn't letting go.

"Where are you going?" Kaiba complained, trying to pull her back in bed.

"Let's just say I'm getting a sixth sense about something." She replied, finally prying herself away. Kaiba watched glumly as she strolled over to her dresser and pulled out one of his shirts. It was a formal button down that was slightly big on her. After pulling on some underwear, she crawled back into bed. "Don't you want to put something on?"

"No. You're being paranoid. You know you haven't changed much." Kaiba tried to glare at her but she just smiled.

"Maybe. But you have." Ishizu wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in closer.

"No I haven't." Kaiba acted like he was trying to shrug her off; tried to act like he used to. But Ishizu pulled him in even closer and kissed the side of his face until he responded.

"I love you." He told her. It was becoming easier to say so. The first time he tried to tell her he stopped in mid-sentence about fourteen times. Finally, Ishizu was able to accept him muttering under his breath along with some profane language to cover up his embarrassment. Forming the words in that order was still a challenge but he was getting used to it.

"I know." Ishizu grinned.

Slowly she began to crawl on top of him. This was more than Kaiba could have wished for. Grown-up time was a rare occasion for them these days but to do it twice in one night was nearly impossible. The night was going to be like years ago. It was going to be perfect, Kaiba thought. Nothing could get in their way. Unfortunately, he was wrong. Their lips barely touched when familiar steps were heard outside the door.

"Damn it!" Kaiba growled. Ishizu smiled as though she were expecting it. Hastily she climbed off of him, sighing as she laid her head on his chest.

"Oh well. Maybe next time." Before Kaiba could mutter a reply, the door creaked open, signaling the entrance of the intruders who seemed to show up every time he and Ishizu were having fun.
