Disclaimer: I don't own Kane chronicles,Sadie,Carter,Khufu,Set,Muffin,Osiris and sigh...Anubis.:(.Rick Riordan does though.:)
A/N:I always thought my first fanfic would be a Dramione...but,Sanubis is just so sweet. Hope you enjoy the story!;-)
I awoke with a start and found that I had drooled on the ancient headrest which couldn't contain my ba as usual.
My ba.
If my ba travelled to the Duat ONE MORE TIME,I swear I'll rip my ba out of myself and wrap it in duct tape.
Just thinking about the visions I see makes my skin crawl. The slimy Duat form of Set making fun of me as I witness the Evil Aphosis swallowing up everything that was good and ordered,The Ma'at and reigning in Isfet,the order of chaos.
For the umpteenth time,I wished I was just a regular kid who had random,normal dreams that involved eating peanut butter and jelly sandwich or something. But,Alas my normal dreams were never random.I dreamt about my dad and my mom and a certain lean,pale-skinned,tall boy dressed in black, sitting on a toilet paper sofa.
Yup,no random dreams. Only uncomfortable ones.
"Sadie,are you up yet"'came Carter's voice.I swear he sounds just like my dad now. Professor-lecturer type voice,but yet with a note of amusement.
Ah. It was painful thinking about dad. True he is sitting in the throne as Osiris with his skin blue,but still,there's that void. He visited me only twice a year earlier but at least I knew he was somewhere there,out in the world with my nerdy brother.
And mom? I don't know how much I yearn for her. Just to have one more conversation like the one I had with her that day. My mom was still the same,kind person,yet she forgot that Carter didn't date girls. Nope,he freaked them out instead.
"Sadie,Will you just get up" yelled my brother. "We have a guest here."
A guest?
"Coming" I yelled back and made a beeline for my bathroom.
Okay,Teeth-cleaning?Check
Toilet? check
Facewash?check
Hair-combing? check
When I had deemed myself presentable to not scare the guest away,I took Muffin into my arms and made my way down the stairs.
The hall looked like it usually would. High and mighty with Thoth's statue in the middle. Carter was standing near the door looking at a lean,tall,pale-skinned boy who looked about sixteen. He was dressed in black from top to bottom.
Holy Isis!
It was God of Toil-er...The God of Death. I dropped Muffin who gave an indignant 'meow' and leapt away,probably to complain to Khufu about me.
Anubis smiled his godly smile "Ah..Sadie.A pleasure to see you again"
I gave a weak nod."Anubis..Hi"
God,I wondered what happened to Sadie Kane and her reputed sharp tongue.
But,how would YOU feel if your crush turned up on your door on fine morning saying that it's nice to see you again?
AND your crush just happened to be the God of Toilet Paper and Death? These sensible thoughts were swept away by drool-infested thoughts about Anubis's casual look,silky black hair,pale shiny skin,the tug of his mouth,a smirk that was threatning to overcome his beautiful features. Ah, Anubis. Pun intended.
Anubis's voice plunged me out of my "casual" analysis of his looks.
"It seems I have arrived at an unconvenient time?" Anubis gestured to me.
I could only look confused as Carter found his tongue."Sadie,why are you in your pajamas?" He blinked twice. "And that too Disney Princess pajamas?"
I looked down at myself and to my horror found that I was indeed wearing baby-pink pajamas with pictures of Disney Princessess plastered right across my chest.
Carter was staring me with his mouth wide open. I wanted to tell him to shut it because you never know when a fly will fly inside your mouth.
To the right of the room,Anubis was shaking with mirth. I have never seen him like this. YOU would think the God of Death needed to maintain some sobriety and seriousness.
I felt my face flush again. I could never let Nerdy boy and God of Toilet Papaer get one over me,Sadie Kane.I did have a reputation to uphold.
"Shut Up. What's wrong with Disney pajamas anyway?I'll have you know that Walt sIsney is a celebrated man plus this pajamas were given to me by Grandma Faust who did not know I was too young for them" I babbled.
I hated the defensive tone in my voice.
Anubis smirked like he knew exactly what was going on inside my head. "How...interesting." he said with a maddening air of splendeur and sarcasm.
I folded my arms right across my chest to
a)hide the stupid princessess from view.
b)to show some authority.
Anubis sighed. "You would rememeber,Sadie ,that you said you'll teach me about modern courtship rituals. You never did and I have decided to take things on my own hands."
Anubis was interrupted by Carter whom I would have liked to whack on the head because If I'm right,he just interrupted Anubis from asking me out.
"Mo-Modern Courtship rituals?" Carter stammered.
I rolled my eyes. The poor boy needed to get himself a girlfriend. On second thoughts,even if he did,gods forbid, managed to get himself a girlfriend(hintZiahint),he wouldn't know what to do with one.
I ignored Mr No-idea-what-a-girlfriend-is and turned to Adonis, uh..Anubis.
Anubis continued "...and I was wondering,as the first step of modern courtship,I would like to ask of a date with you" He finished.
A date! With the god of Toi-er..mummification?
Freaking Awesome.
"So..Is this one of your good mood days"?I asked him with a wink.
He winked back(*dies of excess drool*)"Depends"
"On What?"
"I think you know." he said with a smirk tugging up the corners of his mouth.
Well,THAT guy gets more annoying AND gorgeous every time I see him.
He hesitated upon the look of irritance on my face."Its alright if you don't want to..."
Ooh,So,you've learnt a lesson. Even gods can get insecure.
I smiled. "Oh no,Let those poor souls be granted with some eternal happiness."
He looked confused which made him look really cute. Oh,Liz and Emma..see what happened to non-slobbering Sadie!
Nevertheless,I winked at him "Your good mood..."
Understanding lit up his face making it even more beautiful.
I looked at Carter "So,I'll get dressed and..." I was interrupted by Khufu and Muffin,the latter held in the former's arms
"What?" I asked the baboon
khufu bared his teeth.
Aagh Agh"
I blinked and regained myslef."Um..I totally agree."
Anubis tittered. "He said that "Lady Kane,you're not going anywhere until you give Miss Muffin a bath"
I opened my mouth and closed it "Since,when did I start giving Muffin baths?"
"AGH AGH AGHHH"
Anubis looked annoyed."Miss Muffin dirtied herself when you dropped her into ...krokodil droppings and as the fall was initiated because I surprised you,the baboon,Khufu thinks I can help in giving Miss Muffin a bath too."
I grinned in relief."As long as you're there,death-boy,I'll even give Carter a bath if the need arises."
"hgjffhgk" yelled Carter and flew away out of the window...as a falcon. Ew.I couldn't believe he believed me. That brother of mine needs treatment.
Anubis grinned again and I wondered if he could read minds. I intended to find out this afternoon itself while we bathed Muffin.
