Where We Left Off...

"Oh yes, his something to fancy! But what about the pharaoh?"

"Ooh, yes the pharaoh is HOT!" shouted out Serina. "Like HOT HOT!"

"Why are you answering you're own question?" asked Liana, turning to her sister and raising her eyebrow.

"I'm not answering my own question! You asked it!" whispered Serina furiously, pointing her index finger accusingly at her.

Liana shook her head. "Impossible!"

Serina's jaw dropped. "Then...who-?"

"I never knew I was 'HOT HOT'." whispered a voice in Serina's ear. She and her sister spun around. Serina's face was either really red with embarrassment or just really hot from the sun's heat when she saw who stood behind them on a beautiful white mare.

The smirking 'HOT HOT' pharaoh himself.

Now Read on...

"W-why, why...g-greetings t-to you Ouji-sama(1)..." stammered Serina, as she bowed as low as she could so he couldn't see her burning face.

The Pharaoh smirked at her. "And to you to...erm..."

"Liana!" gasped Serina's sister, grabbing the pharaoh's hand and just stood staring at him awe. Serina stabbed Liana hard and sharp in the ribs with her elbow to get her attention. Liana looked angrily at her sister and let go of the Pharaoh's hand and stood back.

"Liana and...?"

"Serina."

"Yes...Serina..." the Pharaoh said continuing to smile at Serina. "Well, I must be off! My preists and I are travelling to a nearby kingdom and..." he trailed off and frowned.

"And what?" asked Liana, her eyes wide with attention.

Shooting a glare at her naive sister, she smiled kindly at the Pharaoh. "We beg your pardon Ouji-sama, but we must go back to our master and do his biddings." she said sweetly, as she bowed. She grabbed her sister's arm and made her bow quickly before they turned to leave.

"My name is Yami!" shouted the Pharaoh after them, and Serina turned around and gave him a shy smile before continuing to drag her complaining sister back in the direction of their master's house.

Yami watched the girls walk away before he turned his white mare around and trotted slowly to his priests.

They almost to the house when Liana stopped and gasped. "What? What is it sister?" asked Serina.

Liana turned to her sister, a look of horror on her face. "Oh! Oh dear! Sister! Oh, sister!" cried Liana as she burst into tears.

"What is it sister? What is worrying you?" asked Serina, her stomach churning with fear and worry.

"Oh! Oh!" gasped her younger sister through her sobs of tears. "I have f-forgotten the pail of w-water!"

The blood drained from Serina's face. "Y-you..."

"Oh sister!" Liana sobbed onto Serina's shoulder. "Master will beat me! Surely he will!"

"We shall go back..." murmured Serina. "And get it back and--"

"You two!" yelled a familiar voice. They both turned to face the one they feared. He glared at them angrily, and then asked, "Where is the pail of water, slave?" Liana sniffed, and Serina knew she was on the brink of tears. Their master glared at them even more, and then lifted up his hand and slapped Liana in the face with a blow so hard that she staggered backwards. There was a sore bruise on her cheek and tears sliding down her face. He was about to raise his hand again when Serina grabbed his arm.

"Please!" she begged, tears filling up in her eyes. "W-we met O-ouji-sama! Please sir! We had f-forgotten all about the pail! A-and...s-since I am the o-oldest of the two...it was m-my fault. I should have taken notice of the pail miss-"

"Get in." he said coldly, pointing at the door of the house.

Serina was trembling from head to foot as she entered into the house with her master following behind and Liana about to walk in when-

"Liana." said their master. "Go get the whip."
