Chapter 1:

What Happened Should Have Never Happened

Joey's POV

In Egypt, a long time ago, you probably can't tell that I'm exaggerating long... any ways, I used to be the most polite boy in the palace where the pharaoh lived, the palace was huge and I mean it, it was HUGE... back to what I was saying about me being polite, everybody would be talking about me and using me as a role model to the other kids in the palace, sometimes the guards who guard the prisoners down at the jail cells compare me and they don't even know who I am! I mean I am really rude and I do all these bad things and guess what nobody notices it. Even my mom doesn't even know that and she fusses over me twenty four seven. So nobody ever knew why I did what I did to get me here, since I was so polite, they never thought that I could do something like this...

My father is a priest, he is in the second highest position a priest can be. He worked at the temple where the Pharaoh prays every morning.

The Pharaoh was a good friend of my father so that's the only reason he comes to the temple; to see my dad, the Pharaoh hates being the pharaoh, that's what my dad told me. My father is a friend to everybody who is important at the temple and the palace too, and even friends with some of the commoners.

When I was a boy, I wanted to be a priest like my dad. My father was ok with that but not my mother. She wanted me to be a palace guard or somebody important at the palace. So when I was fifteen, she sent me to one of those guard/priest training sessions behind the temple. My dad told me before I started that the training is there is for both guards and priests and the training is exactly the same until you finish two years of that session. After that you chose if you want to go be a guard or be a priest. He winked at me before saying, priests need to toughen up and get some muscles cause some of the rituals need strength from the priest and if the priest doesn't have any strength after the ritual they will die so that's why the priests have to train for size. So I went to the session, happily knowing, that after I finish this I will get to train to be a priest. Of course my mother wasn't happy with the choice I made after the two years. But apparently after one month of training to be a priest, I switched back to guard training cause I got really confused with all the spells, rituals and gods to pray to. Turned out that I wanted to be a guard more than a priest. My dad was ok with that, and my mother was jumping with joy.

You're probably wondering why I am telling you all this, because all this has to do with my curse, the curse that should have never happened to me. The curse of Pharaoh Makuhita. The curse is reincarnation. Pharaoh Makuhita was the father of Pharaoh Yami, the present ruler of that year the curse happened. Yami is as old as me. He was pharaoh when he was fourteen, the youngest one ever. And he only trusted a few people: My dad, Seth's dad, Seth and me. He was a friend with some people but he didn't trust them whole-heartedly.

So that's why he hates coming to the temple to pray cause he is too young to be pharaoh and he hates the job.

I am telling this story to you cause I am bored, I remember everything that happened in the lives that I have lived, cause the people in charge of my reincarnation were too lazy to give me the drink to erase my memory of what had happened in that life. I have stopped reincarnated now cause I broke it, I broke the dam curse, I mean we broke the curse, that special someone helped me. I had only two lives left but I almost died when I was trying to break it so that would leave one life left and knowing me I wouldn't have bothered to break. I could've broke the curse as soon as I could but I didn't cause to break the curse you have to find true love and I've already found my guy so I didn't bother to break it. You probably can't tell but I'm smiling now, happy cause if I didn't break it before my last death something terrible will happen. You find out what terrible thing happens later...

Priest School (Normal pov)

A blonde hair and amber eyes guy named Jono Sirus sat there dozing on and off a million times while the teacher talked about the gods and how rituals for them are really important. And it was only thanks to his friend Seth that he didn't fall asleep.

"Psss, Jono wake up." Seth whispered as he poked Jono's side. Seth had brown eyes and ice blue eyes, but they always soften a bit when ever with his Jono. "...Ugh...no...Wake me...up later..." he mumbles earning a disapproved look from his friend. "Wake up now or I'll tell Tea that she can kiss you." Jono jerked back so fast that he almost hit Seth's head. "I'm awake!" Seth started chuckling at his boyfriend, they always managed to keep it in whispers and he always manage to find a new thing to wake him each time and each time there was always a different expression on his face. Right now there was horror on his face.

"If you do," earning a hard glare, well more like puppy eyes, "I will so hate you for eternity." Making Seth cock an eyebrow. "Even if I die before you?" leaving Jono wordless. "...Meanie." Seth scoffed. "Well you know puppy, you look very cute pouting..." Earning a blush from him, everyone knew that Jono hated being called puppy except when Seth called him that. Cause everyone knew they were in a 'small' relationship. "Hah...and it's not my fault that Tea has a crush on you." Jono started in a whiny tone, "But its not my fault I helped her pick up her books that day when she dropped them and everyone knows that she has a crush on every hot guy here." "So let me guess that you think you're hot?" "Mmhmm and I'm proud of it." Soft warm laughter filled their ears as Seth laughed from what his boyfriend said, "whatever you say pup-"

"Mr. Kano and Mr. Sirus, is there a problem?" interrupted their teacher in a loud voice. Both turned their heads to see their teacher, Mr. Shingo staring at them patiently. "No, sir not at all." Not believing them. "Ok, now that I do have your attention since I have been calling your names since the last five minutes, tomorrow the head priest will be coming over tomorrow as a guest speaker." He looked at Seth a bit closer before saying, "And Mr. Kano, you better pay attention tomorrow when your father is here tomorrow. I am pretty sure he does not want to know how you behaved today." Earning a snicker from the class which earning them a cold glare because Seth Kano hardly gets into trouble. "And as for you Jono, your father will also be coming so lets hope you will behave tomorrow. Sigh class dismiss."

Seth and Jono were the first ones out of the room, continuing their conversation. "But I still don't get it, how can Tea not have a crush you when your one of the hottest guys in the school!" "Hah...easy, with all the glares I give her, she's probably scared to death." Wrapping one arm around Jono's waist. "Besides she has problems, when she sees that someone is already taken she stills try to seduce them, heh like you." A blush started on Jono's face. "Shut up..." "What you don't like me?" nibbling on his earlobe. "Sss-seth" "hahaha, well puppy you better get rid of your blush or Tea will think your blushing cause of her."

Jono looked up to see Tea walking towards them. Tea was learning how to be a priestess and she thinks that all the boys have a major crush on her. She has brown hair to her shoulders and always walks with a funny rhythm in her steps, which she thinks is sexy. And since Seth and Jono are the hottest guys in the school, she's always hitting on them. "Hi Seth," taking a step closer with more of a funny rhythm, earning a glare from Seth and she took a step back. "Heheh...gulp, hi Jono."

'Aw man, why'd she have to be here, it made Seth stop nibbling on my ear, sighs.' "Hi Tea."

Seth was glaring daggers at Tea and apparently she noticed so she took another step back. "Well puppy, I have to go." Earning a ' no don't leave me here with this psycho' look. "You want too come puppy?" "Yes" he screamed out, not wanting to be with her for another second. Kaiba gave her one more cold glare before walking swiftly out the door. Jono was scrambling after him not even doing anything to tell her that he was leaving. Tea stood there huffing cause two hot guys just ditched her, but she just started walking her funny walk as soon as she saw more hot guys.

Outside

"Seth, where are we going?" asked Jono in a sort of whiney tone. "The temple." Jou didn't want to go to the temple he wanted to go to Seth's house until his dad or mom wanted him to come home. "Why?" he asked in a childish tone. "My dad wanted to so me something." Earning a groan from Jono. "And why are you groaning." Jono giving his best puppy eyes and said in a whiney tone, "I don't want to go to the temple." Making Seth turn around, "and why not?" Cocking a perfect eyebrow.

"Because." taking this as an opportunity he ran into Seth, making the said boy hold onto him and started snuggling into his chest. Chuckling as he said, "I have to show you something there" Jou looked up from his very comfortable position and made and 'oh' face. Then he remembered that he had to tell something to Seth too. "Seth I have to tell you something." Seth nodded his head and said ok. Jono mumbled something. "What'd you say?" Leaning closer. "I said that I..." he mumbled a bit louder and a bit more accurate but Seth could only catch, priest and quitting. He started laughing before lifting his boyfriend's chin. "You know if you want to tell me something you shouldn't mumble." Giving him a light kiss and tightening his hold around his waist. Jono gave a light blush before he said it again, but he said it like he was talking to himself. "Jono." Seth said in a warning tone. "Sigh...I'm quitting priest school." Seth laughed. "What?"

Seth give Jou a wondering look before voicing his thoughts out. "Now that wasn't hard now was it? Sigh, why are you leaving Jou." Jou turned a nice shade of red. "Hey, you know me with the short attention span I have and its REALLY boring." Putting a lot of emotion into 'really'. "Oh..." that's Seth could think of, I know Jono can't really attention and all but I never thought he'll quit the damn school. "Then where are you going?" Jono didn't respond for a while before he said guard training. "Then I assume you know that they're already in their trip." "Sigh, yeah I'm going there next week."

Jono seemed really distressed, not because he was leaving the stupid school he was attending but because he was leaving Seth behind. Snuggling his head into Seth's chest and mumbling, "I'm going to miss you so much." Seth tightened his grasp around Jono's waist before whispering me too. "I hope you dot forget me, hey but we still have a week left, we can do anything you want." Seeing Jono's distressed face. His face light up as soon as Seth said that and he quickly nodded his head. "Ha ha come on." Placing a light kiss on his forehead. 'This sucks, two years without seeing him...at least I have one more week with him.'

As the two walked off to the temple, not knowing that Jono learning how to be a guard can have a huge consequence in the future.
