No, this won't be a Seto/Yami story, sorry. It will however, have Seto/Jou and Yami/Yugi.

"What if I don't wanna meet this guy?"
"Honey, you have to."
"But I'm the heir. I don't wanna. I wanna go scare the market people."
"No. You are going to meet the next high priest. I believe his name is Seto Kaiba. You have to be nice, later you'll work with each other."
"Fine," Yami started to pout, which usually mad his parents change their mind, but not this time. His mother took his hand and guided him to their parlor reserved for the highest people. That tipped off Yami, so he put on his best solemn look (not easy for a 7 year old)
A tall, dark-haired man walked in, followed by a shorter version of him. The younger one looked just a little bit afraid. Yami didn't like the older one, although he knew that he was the current high priest. Yami also noticed that he sauntered in, acting like he owned the place, and he didn't bow to mother. Only Yami's dad didn't do that.
"Bow. Now."
The man was so taken aback that he actually bowed. His son did also. Suddenly, he realized that the little boy had said it, not his father. He stood up and left angrily. The boy looked after him with longing. He wanted to leave too.
"I'll be back in two hours!" His gruff voice called back.
There was an awkward silence, broken by Yami's mother.
"Slave! Take some fruit and water to Yami's room," then she leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I want you to stay in the room and listen to their conversation. Report ALL of it back to me after Seto leaves."
Yami took up a leisurely walk to his room, down the middle of the hallway. He smiled whenever someone had to choose between bumping into him or some other important officer. It was funny to see them get into trouble. Most of the time they were whipped.
The arrived at a large door that was guarded. The two boys sauntered through, the slave right behind them.
Yami lit a candle. Seto stood, he was taller than Yami. Yami ordered the slave to light more candles. They started to eat, but were silent. They had nothing to talk about. After about 30 minutes, Yami stood up and went over to the candle he had lit.
"So you're going to be the next high priest, huh," Yami said with a smirk, "Then you'll have to know how to deal with spies, eh?"
Yami walked over to a bowl and poured all the wax into it. He grabbed the slave and shoved him onto the bed, smiling. Seto stared as Yami poured the hot wax onto the slave.
"My mother sent you, didn't she? You were going to tell her all about what happened, WEREN"T you?"
Y...Y.... Yes," the slave-boy was terrified.
Yami smirked and grabbed the candle.
"I wonder what you would look like wi....." there was someone holding his arm back, making sure he couldn't reach. Suddenly he was on the door, Seto staring at him with a mixture of terror and pain. Immediately, the guards tried to get in, but the doors opened inwards, and Seto was shoving Yami up against them, it just caused Yami more pain.
"Stop it you fools. You're just making it worse for me," yelled Yami.
"Don't. Ever. Do. That. Again. Understand. Yami?"
"Fine. It didn't mean that much to me anyway," Yami could see that it was a very bad subject for Seto. If it had been anybody else, they would already be dead. This though, was the next high priest. Also, Yami liked him because he knew what he wanted and he apparently wasn't afraid of going after it. The only bad thing was that he was threatening the heir, and that wasn't to be tolerated.
Seto was slowly letting Yami go now. He was shaking. Yami wondered why he had reacted so badly.it couldn't have happened to him, could it?
Suddenly, Seto turned and grabbed the slave before he could get away. Seto stared at the slave, memorizing the beautiful yellow hair, the honey colored eyes, and the pretty face. Maybe that would make his own father stop....if he had another slave, just for that purpose.
"Find me before I leave," said Seto, an order to the slave, and to Yami, "sorry, I just lost control for a second. I don't know why." In truth, Seto really didn't know why he felt an insane urge to protect this slave, but he knew that he would save from both Yami and his father.
The slave had run out the door, Seto hoped he would follow his order and come to him instead of trying to run away. Something was tugging at his memory. Something about that particular slave.
Yami finally decided that he wasn't going to have Seto reported, but instead was going to say that the stupid guards had overreacted and they would be put into the arena, most likely against the lions. They would be dead in 10 minutes.
"Don't do that ever again and we wont have a problem. This time, I wont tell on you."
"Fine." Seto wasn't in a very talkative mood, not after that episode.
They finished eating and then walked around in the gardens silently until it was time for Seto to go,.
When Seto was about to give up on that slave, he came running up.
"Father, I would like to buy this slave."
"Well, we'll have to talk to the slave overseer, and you can't own him until you're 16."
"That's all ok."

They ordered for the slave overseer, and 10 minutes later, they had one more slave. Reviews? Please? * puppy dog eyes* If you do, I'll give you a cookie in the next chapter! *waves cookies enticingly*
