A/N from A.C.: I'm really getting into writing this. It's so much fun!

Saix sat up straight and turned around when he heard that voice, "I am not in the mood for anything you have to say. So, I suggest you get the fuck away from me before I do something that I will not regret." his voice was cold, "Understand me?"

The other prisoner was one that the blunette had fought with before, he still bore marks from the long claws. "What? You didn't learn anything in solitary, did you?"

Saix smirked, showing gleaming fangs, "Do I ever?"

"I'd say not." He crossed his arms over his chest, "So, how was the counselor? I heard around that some very interesting stuff happened in there the other day."

Saix smirked as Axel stood up, arms crossed. The redhead was like their bodyguard, more or less. The blunette purred, "Oh, yes, though, you should not talk of that to me. I have yet to have a taste of you."

The other prisoner snorted, "You can't get me. I refuse to bottom for someone like you, mutt."

Axel narrowed his eyes, pushing the other prisoner away, "Fuck off, Sephiroth. We're all sick of you and your guys. Just stay away from us."

Saix stood up from his seat and outstretched his arm in front of the redhead, "Axel. Stop. This is my fight, not yours. There is no sense in you getting hurt or in trouble because of him..." He jerked his thumb at the silver-haired man, "So, just sit down and talk with Nero and Weiss. I do not need your help.

The redhead's voice fell deathly quiet and he looked hurt, "Isa..."

"Do not call me that!" The blunette snapped out at him, shoving him down into the nearest seat, "That is not my name!" He turned to glare at Sephiroth, "You, follow me. I refuse to get in any sort of argument around my friends." He turned on his heel and walked out of the cafeteria, Sephiroth and a few guards chasing after him.

Nero looked from the swinging cafeteria doors to Axel, "Who was that guy? What just happened?"

The redhead sighed and crossed his arms over his chest, leaning back in his seat, "That was Sephiroth, leader of one of the larger groups around here; 'The Soldiers'" Yes, he used air quotes. "He and Is- Err, Saix have been at each other's throats for a long time. Ever since Sephiroth first showed up, actually.

Weiss nodded, "They get into some real violent fights. A few times the medic refused to help them."

"What?" The younger brother arched a brow, "There's now way they can do that here."

Axel barked out a laugh, "Keep your eyes peeled, Nero. Lotsa crazy stuff happens around here that you wouldn't expect. By the way, if you didn't already know, the rumor is true... Don't drop the soap."

Nero visably shuddered and was quickly pulled over a seat and onto his brother's lap. The younger man blushed brightly and hesitated before relaxing into his brother's grip. "People actually do that? Well, I know Saix, but..."

"Saix hasn't done that." The redhead smiled, "He says he refuses to go down to that level. Though," he gestured to the brothers' position, "If you stay close to Weiss, I don't think you'll have a problem."

Nero leaned back against his brother's chest, "Brother? Why?"

"You don't know? Everyone's afraid of him. Well, most people, and if they know that you're his, I'm sure they won't touch you."

"Good. I'll heed your advice, then. Thank you."

Axel nodded and sighed softly, "I wonder how Saix is doing..."

Outside, in the courtyard, Saix was standing over Sephiroth, who was lying on the rocky ground. The blunette smirked, kicking the older man in the side, causing him to roll over and wheeze. The two guards that had followed them looked at each other before slowly looking back at the scene before them. Everyone in the jail knew that the guards really didn't care if there were fights or not. It was entertainment for them. But if it ended up getting too bad, the guards would break it up.

That's why they had guns, after all.

Sephiroth rose to his feet, his fists clenched and his teeth clenched. "Bastard..." He hissed, blood dripped steadily from his nose, "You won't beat me..."

"I would say otherwise." Saix darted forward, pouncing and sending Sephiroth to the ground again, rolling with him. Prison clothes were torn as rocks scraped their bodies, flesh was ripped into by small shards of stone and glass on the ground. Like two cats fighting over territory in an alleyway, the prisoners hissed and spat at each other, rolling in the dirt and only cutting open fresh wounds in the process. Snarling, the two men pulled at each other's hair and tried to land as many punches and kicks as they could manage.

Saix cried out as he was kicked in the stomach and sent flying backwards, tumbling in dirt and stone before landing on his side and sliding to a stop. His eyelids fluttered open just in time to see Sephiroth coming closer, the glare from the sun made him close his eyes tightly just before the larger man got to him. As a protective measure, he wrapped his arms around his head and curled up into a ball to protect himself from the worst of the blows that the silver-haired man would give.

When no pain came to him, he slowly moved his arms from around his head and looked up into the sparkling blue eyes of his least favorite guard. He smiled down at the blunette as his partner picked up an unconscious Sephiroth out of the dirt.

"Ya really got cut up this time, pup!" Reno said excitedly, "That was quite th'fight, yo!"

The blunette moved to sit up, wincing at the pain that spread through his body at the action, at the mere thought of the action. He didn't want to move. The fight had taken a toll on his body and he just wanted to lie in the dirt and on the rocks. He wanted to lie there and listen to the crickets chirp out in the distance as the sun was setting over the high cement walls of the prison. He just wanted to stay where he was.

Reno prodded his side with a dirty military boot, "Get up, yo, or I'll make ya. You gotta go shower an' then go see Mister ShinRa. 'e wants a word with ya."

"Why? I want to go to bed." The blunette said with a huff, not moving an inch.

"Sleep ain't an option, puppy." Reno sneered, leaning over and gripping Saix's arm before pulling him to his feet. "Not git goin', I ain't gonna wait much longer." He pushed the blunette to get him to start walking, already fed up with the bugs that were biting his skin. "Fuckin' hate outdoors, yo…"

Saix growled to himself as he walked toward the building, "You should be an indoor pet, then…"
