Disclaimer: Ne, none of them are mine. Which is a giant mountain of suck, but, hey, what are'ya gonna do?

A/N: Yeah, I know. I normally pair our CEO with my own cowgirl. But I really love the SetoxYami pairing and there just aren't enough. So this is mine. And Seto's past name in here is Sephiroth. So ask if you want to use it. Pretty cool huh? And Yami's is Yagami. Same goes.





The Pharaoh was extremely bored. Things as of late had been less productive in the fun section. Right now he was sitting on his throne, quite lazily, supposedly selecting a bride. Women from all over the land had come to seek his approval.

" Next." He said waving his hand.

He had gone through 30 women so far and none seemed to peak his interest at all. Some were too fat, some were too thin, some were too tall, some were too short. Others were just bleck! He didn't want any of these women. They were all wrong.

" No..No..*irritated* No..No!! Would you think?!" He yelled at one girl in particular.

As he was steady rejecting the girls, one of his advisors came up to him.

" Sire, the slaves from the west village have arrived." He said.

" Finally, some action. Bring them in." He said.

He nodded and then clapped to the guards at the doors. They opened the large golden doors. Outside were all these boys and girls of various ages. Most of them were dirty. The smaller children were crying. The older ones were quiet. Pharaoh Yagami was about to start barking orders when he was interrupted.

" Behave yourself slave!!"

" You'll be whipped if you try to run!!"

" You put your hands on me again and I'll break them!!"

This was not a natural occurance. Slave didn't normally fight back. And they certainly didn't cause this much trouble. Pharaoh Yagami was upset he was interrupted.

" What is that?!" He demanded.

" A new slave sire. He seems to be uncooperative. He shall be dealt with sire." His advisor said.

" No. I shall deal with him myself. Bring him to me." He said.

*****************

Sephiroth wasn't sure what was going on, but he didn't like being tied up and he didn't like being threatened. He had come here in the place of his little brother, but he had no intention of staying.

His hands were bond together, but he was still very dangerous. He fought off at least 5 guards before they lassoed him on all four sides. Even then he wouldn't come quietly. He pulled back and resisted. They had to tie his hands behind his back and have two guards shove him in the door. They forced him on his knees in front of the Pharaoh.

Arctic blue eyes glared from under auburn bangs as the Pharaoh approached him from the throne. Pharaoh Yagami if he remembered correctly. He seemed to be in a cross mood. Good, Sephiroth thought, if I have to live in misery, then so do you.

" Who are you slave?" He asked.

He didn't answer. He just continued to glare at him. This agitated the Pharaoh. He backhanded him. This caused Sephiroth's head to turn and blood to trickle from his lips.

" Answer me!!" Yagami yelled.

Sephiroth turned to him and spit in his face. The guards immediately attacked him. They stomped him and kicked him in his sides. He grunted in pain, but would not cry out. He wasn't a slave yet, and he wouldn't cry like one.

**************

Yagami wiped the spit from his cheek. He wiped his hand on his shirt and looked at the slave that dare do such a thing.

He watched his eyes. They were so deep a blue; he almost became lost in them. They held so many emotions. Pride, anger, hate, agitation, hot- temperedness, arrogance and haughtiness only a Pharaoh should have. But they were still the most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen.

*Beautiful? Did I just say his eyes were beautiful?* He thought.

Shaking his head, he changed to another trait of the slave. His spirit. He had a lot of spirit. He would fight if he had to and he feared no man. This slave was different than any he'd ever seen. He peaked his interest more than the girls he had. He might keep this one for himself.

**************

" We shall take him to be executed sire." One of the guards said.

As they were walking away and dragging him, Sephiroth utter a word that seemed to strike a nerve in the Pharaoh.

" Coward."

**************

Yagami heard this. His head jerked up and he glared at the beautiful youth before him. He ran up and grabbed him by his necklace.

" Have you the faintest inkling to whom you speak?!!" He yelled.

" A better question, do I care?" He countered.

" You-" He started," Kill him!!"

Yagami smirked at his ordered as the slave was being taken away. He looked at his eyes; expecting fear and pleading. But he found none. Instead he found satisfaction and fulfillment.

He frowned. This was not how this was supposed to work. He should fear his death. He shouldn't welcome it. Why was he in such a rush to see Anubis? Questions unanswered and even more interest made him make a rash decision.

" Disregard my last order. Take him to be prepared." He said.

" Prepared sire?" A guard asked.

" Yes. I think I will keep him for myself. He will be my personal slave." He said smiling.
