" How dare he.."

Pharaoh Yagami was angry. Not only had a slave questioned his authority, he had been right about it! 7 people had been plotting on him. 7 people were trying to get him killed! He had immediately had them imprisoned. But that was beside the point. That slave, Sephiroth, had been right!!

Oh well. At least he was locked away inside his room. He wouldn't be able to bother him anymore from there. He wouldn't be able to get out until he said so and unlocked the door from the outside. Ah, to be in control again.

" How's it going Pharaoh?" Said Sephiroth strolling past him.

" Fine Sephiroth." He replied automatically.

Yagami walked a few more paces before he realized what just took place. He whipped around and saw the retreating figure of his personal slave walk through large doors with a satchel of fruit over his shoulder and a pear in his mouth.

" Hold it!!" He yelled.

Yagami ran after the form that entered his room. He wasn't supposed to be out of that room. He shouldn't even be out at all. That was the Pharaoh's room. It was supposed to have the best locks on the doors. How could he get out?!

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

Sephiroth smiled as he walked past the Pharaoh. He didn't know it was him. He waltzed right past him, coming from the royal kitchen and walked back to the Pharaoh's room.

" Hold it!!"

About time, he thought as he ungraciously shut the door in the Pharaoh's face. He had been wandering around for hours. Yet the Pharaoh had just seen him. He'd trail him in the beginning, but got bored with his ignorance and went off on his own. Now that he was back, this should be very interesting.

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

" Sephiroth!! Open this door!"

Yagami pounded his fist on the door to get open. But it didn't open. Sephiroth was on the other side of the door, doing who knows what to his room. This slave was entirely too cocky for being a slave.

" Sephiroth!! Unlock this door right now or-Ah!!"

Yagami fell face-first onto the floor as the door opened. Sephiroth looked down at him with his head cocked to the side in curiosity.

" Why are you on the floor Pharaoh?" He asked.

Yagami shook his fist in anger. He wanted to hit him so bad. But he was doing it on purpose. He knew it.

" Nevermind. How did you get out?" He asked.

" Get out where?" He asked.

" Out to the kitchen!!" He yelled.

" No need to holler Pharaoh. I can hear you just fine." Sephiroth said walking to the bed.

Yagami gritted his teeth in irritation. He was in control again. This was not supposed to be happening. He should be the one riling him. Not the other way around.

* Okay. Calm yourself Pharaoh. Two can play that game Seph. Two can play that game. * He thought to himself.

" Just tell me how you got out." He said holding his temples.

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

Was he kidding?

It was easy. Getting out was no challenge at all. He could have been drunk and done it. The locks were dealt with with a gold rod he found on the table. He simply pulled the cover off and jimmied the lock. After that, he just threatened the guards that he'd tell the Pharaoh they'd raped him. After telling him this, Yagami seemed quite angry. But he calmed down and sat in a chair in front of him.

" That does it. I'm getting new guards." He said.

Now he felt bad. Kuso, he cursed to himself. That Pharaoh had no idea what he was doing, but his heart was in the right place. He must have just become the Pharaoh by heir; he certainly wasn't trained for it.

" Look, Sephiroth. From now on, when I lock you somewhere, you stay there! When you want something, forget it!! You're a slave!" Yagami said.

" Whatever you say." He said shrugging.

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

That next day, Yagami prayed would be better than the last. He swore to himself that he was going to keep his temper under control and try not to kill Sephiroth. He was only getting on his nerves because he didn't want to be there.

Rolling over, he tried to get more sleep. But he was met with said slave's face. He was sleeping in his bed. He was ASLEEP in HIS BED. He, a slave, was asleep, in the PHARAOH'S BED.

He started to just push him out, but he couldn't. The way he looked when he was asleep was so cute. He looked like a little kid. So innocent and adorable. He couldn't resist touching him.

He placed his hand on the side of his face. Sephiroth leaned into his touch. Yagami smiled despite himself. Then unable to take the temptation anymore, he traced his lips with his thumb feeling extreme torture as his lips puckered a little against it.

Maybe he could stay....for just a little longer.
