A/N from A.C.: Short... but... at least it's something, yah?

The Wutaiian guard was first to get to his feet. He looked at the blond Warden and smiled softly, "I'll go start your bath, Sir."

The younger man gave a slight nod, "Thank you, Tseng."

Icy blue eyes followed the guard as he walked into the adjoined bathroom. The door closed gently and Rufus looked over at the Wutaiian's fellow guard and the prisoner. Saix snarled at the the Warden, his golden eyes narrowing. Moving to stand before the desk, his dug his fingernails into the soft wood.

"I refuse to be killed." He growled, "I will escape faster than you can catch me and strap me down to that electric chair."

"Oh, I've changed my mind." Rufus said with a dismissive wave of his hand.

"You... You have?" The prisoner stood up straight, a look of shock written across his face.

A sly smirk curved the young blond's lips and he gave a low chuckle, "I've decided to end your existence on my own."

"What?" Saix yelped. "You cannot be serious!"

"I'm completely serious. Do I look like I'm joking, 07?"

"N- No..." Saix took a step back, "No, you do not." He looked the Warden in the eye and bit his lip, "Why have you decided to do it yourself?"

"I don't think anyone but myself deserves to kill you."

Xemnas gaped, "I do! Tseng does! Reno does! Roxas does!" He stepped forward and slammed his fist down on the desk angrily, "He hasn't raped you!"

"Ah, but you forgot one thing, Xemnas." The Warden smirked.

"Oh? What's that?"

Rufus stared him in the eye, icy blue clashing with amber, "I'm the boss in this prison. I kill the inmates, I take charge, I fire the guards."

Gritting his teeth, the guard stepped back, "Sorry..."

Before anyone could mutter another phrase, the Wutaiian guard stepped out from the Warden's office. He politely and softly spoke out, "Sir, your bath is ready."

"Very good." The Warden said, walking over to the bathroom door, "Xemnas, Tseng, bring 07 back to his cell. He will be put down tomorrow afternoon like the bad dog that he is." The bathroom door closed with a slam and Rufus was gone from sight.

By the time Saix focused enough to look over at the two guards, Tseng and Reno were both dressed as well as they could with ripped clothing. He growled low in his throat when he was forced back into his clothes and dragged out of the office. The prisoner dug his deadly claws into Xemnas' shoulder and tore the flesh, blood seeping from the wound. He gave a pained squeak and pulled Saix out of Tseng's grip forcefully. He reeled around and slammed the blunette up against the wall, one hand tight around his neck.

The guard snarled, "Fucking asshole!" His grip tightened, "You better get ready for tomorrow. No one's going to miss someone like you."

"Now, you know you have to deal with me for a little while." Saix purred, "I do get a last meal, you know."

Tseng sighed and looked over Xemnas' shoulder, "What is it that you want?"

"Hmn... let me think on that," The prisoner purred, "You know, I would really like?"

"I've got a bad feeling-"

"I would like some human flesh as my last meal..." The blunette smirked, licking his lips.

Xemnas' amber eyes went wide and he sputtered, "You can't have human meat!"

Saix bared his fangs and snapped at Xemnas, leaning forward to try and bite him. He growled low when the hand around his throat tightened. The blunette chuckled deeply, his eyes clashing with Xemnas'. "Do you not realize?"

"Realize what, Saix?" Xemnas asked, biting his lower lip, afraid of what would be said.

"You cannot kill me until I get my final meal."

"That's bullshit!" Tseng snapped out, before quickly covering his mouth.

Xemnas nodded, "It is. That's stupid. We can kill you right now if we wanted to."

"No, no. You could not. I know all about this little prison. I know how things work. Do not think I am stupid, Xemnas."

The tan guard was silent for a moment before he frowned. "Too late, dog. Now get moving," he pulled Saix away from the wall and directed him forward, "I know more than you think."
