A/N: Hello, everyone! I did promise a M-rated fic earlier, but the way the idea turned out, I thought it might be better as a two-chapter story. I will be bumping the rating up to M after I post the next chapter, but for those who don't wish to read M-rated content, this chapter can stand on its own in its T-rated glory.

When reading the books (way back in the day), some of my favorite character interactions were between Sadie and Set. As Anubis is Set's child, I thought this could lead to some awkward situations, hence this story.

As in all of my stories, just Sanubis-no Walt/Anubis combination. Sadie is 18 in this story.

"What are you thinking, my lady?" Anubis asked, breaking apart from her once more to look her in her blue eyes. "You're never silent this long."

"It's quite nice here," Sadie said, glancing around at the falling leaves around them before leaning in to kiss him again, smoothing her maroon skirt down as she straddled his legs. "For a graveyard, that is. Honestly, Death Boy, do we always have to come here when we get out?"

Anubis rolled his gorgeous coffee-colored eyes, slipping his hand in her purple-streaked hair to cradle the back of her head and pulling her closer by the hand on the back of her leather jacket. "Try finding another quiet final resting place nearby where we won't get charged with public indecency, and I will be more than willing to go."

He had stopped by the B.A.G. to pick her up after school, and as Sadie was in a good mood after finally being done with finals and Carter was in charge of the First Nome for the night, they ended up walking to a small cemetery concealed from the street by a row of trees. Anubis had summoned a bench out of mummy linens—Sadie had staunchly refused to snog on top of someone's mausoleum, no matter whether their spirit said it was alright or not—and they sat down upon it, idly kissing and talking about the day as the rays of the sun flickered through the trees.

She hummed, pressing her lips to the space behind his ear. "Look at you, getting familiar with modern laws."

"I'm quite certain it was at least a polite custom in ancient times, as well," Anubis said, his eyebrow raised. He pressed his hand hard against the small of her back, causing Sadie to pitch forward against his chest. She steadied herself by pressing her hands against his shoulders as he connected their lips once more. Sadie sighed into his mouth and slid her hands down his chest, allowing him to slip his tongue into her mouth. He gently slipped his hand up the back of her cropped black shirt as she lightly bit down on his lower lip. He let out a soft growl and pulled her closer, moving the hand on her back around to cup her right breast as he moved off her lips to press lingering kisses along her jaw. Sadie inhaled sharply, biting her lip and fisting her hands in his hair. He sucked hard on her pulse point as he gently massaged her breast, causing her to gasp and squirm against his jeans, clutching him closer. He broke away from her neck to lock their lips together once more, and she pulled at his hair, and his hand started to creep down to the front of her skirt—

Suddenly, someone cleared their voice behind them. Sadie shoved herself off of Anubis and stood up, smoothing down her skirt quickly. She was hopeful that she could just use a quick memory spell on whoever it was before remembering that Anubis had pulled them "out of phase" as soon as they entered the graveyard. No mortal should be able to see them. Sadie ground her teeth together, turning to look.

What she saw was probably the worst possible scenario—well, second worst. She couldn't imagine ever being able to deal with her father seeing them like that.

In front of them stood Set, the bloody Rockin' Red Reaper himself, leaning against a tree and smirking at them. His matching red suit, red snakeskin pants, and dark red skin made him look like a giant wash of color. He wolf-whistled at them, his smirk growing wider, and tugged at his forked beard.

"Now, now, now, son," he tutted. "In public? I'm impressed. Maybe you're not such a disappointment after all."

Anubis rolled his eyes and stood up as well, crossing his arms over his chest. "What do you want, father?" He said the word like an insult.

Set let out a grating laugh. "What, I can't just come see my son and his precious mortal?" Sadie and Anubis stayed silent, equal expressions of incredulity gracing their features. Set sighed, taking off his sunglasses to reveal equally red eyes. "Alright, alright. I need to converse with Sadie Kane for a moment. Alone."

"No," Anubis said, glowering. "I won't let you near her—" He was interrupted by Sadie placing her hand on his arm, causing him to turn to look at her.

"I can handle myself," she said, her face impassive. "It might be something important."

Anubis sighed. "Fine," he said loudly, still maintaining eye contact with Sadie. "But only if you swear on your name not to harm her at all, directly or indirectly."

Set rolled his eyes. "Very well. I swear on my name not to hurt Sadie Kane or cause her to be harmed in any way, nor will I break my truce with the Kane siblings." He shifted his gaze to Sadie, smirking once more. "You have the dog well trained."

A light post exploded next to Set, showering sparks around him.

"Say that again, and your head will be next," he growled, glancing at Set with a scowl before turning back to Sadie, his eyes dark and his expression serious. "Be careful," he muttered. "You know what he's capable of."

Sadie nodded. "I will." She turned to face Set, crossing her arms as she walked out of the graveyard gate. She could feel Anubis' gaze on them as she closed the gate behind her, moving to stand in front of Set.

"All right, what do you want?" she said, her posture tense.

"What, is it that absurd to wish to talk to the mortal who captured my son's heart?" He leered at her, sneering before whispering, "And it seems a few other things, as well."

"It is," Sadie said, rolling her eyes. "It's been a bloody long week. Why are you here?"

"I'm offended, Sadie Kane," Set said, pressing his hand to his chest dramatically. "Don't you trust me?"

"Fuck no," she retorted, raising an eyebrow. She tapped her toe against the ground impatiently.

"Such language! I'm impressed," he said with a laugh, his eyes sparking behind his red sunglasses.

Sadie rolled her eyes. Of course, nothing could ever be easy with him. "Out with it, Evil Day."

"I really wish you'd stop using that name, Kane," he said, his eyes flickering. "You know it does nothing."

"It irritates you," Sadie said with a shrug. "I consider that an accomplishment. Now, for the last bloody time, what are you here for?"

Set waved his hand at the graveyard. His voice echoed around them as he spoke once more. "There, so that my son won't overhear. Now, to my knowledge, your much less entertaining brother is searching for a certain magical scroll that can be used to protect your precious Nomes for a millennia."

Sadie raised her eyebrows. Carter had been searching for the protective spells on the scroll ever since the battle with Apophis—he claimed they could absolutely prevent any demons or any chaotic or evil influence from entering a Nome for a thousand years. "Do you have it?"

He laughed again, the sound like nails on a chalkboard. "Hold your enthusiasm, Kane. It's surrounded by traps meant to prevent gods from touching it. I know its location, and will gladly provide you with it—as long as I get something in return."

"What do you want in return?"

"Something extremely simple that only you can provide," he said with a grin, tucking his sunglasses in the front pocket of his suit jacket. "Now, as I clearly saw earlier, you are getting very close to my son. Though he is an incredible disappointment, he could be useful to me in the future. In exchange for a few words, I will give you the location of the scroll. It's that easy."

"You want his secret name," she said, eyes widening at the realization before she narrowed them again. "Never. We'll find the bloody scroll on our own."

"Be reasonable for a moment, Sadie," Set said, his fangs flashing as he spoke. "All I ask is what should be rightfully mine as a parent. In return, all the magicians in the Nomes have wards that would prevent any demon from ever stepping through. It's a logical trade."

"I already said no," Sadie said, her eyes cold. "You haven't been a parent to him at all, so don't you dare play that card."

"One more time, have some common sense," Set said, waving his sunglasses. "This is the last time I will make such a great offer. It would be prudent for you to take it, Kane."

"Listen, Evil Day, I'm not going to give it to you," Sadie said, her staff appearing in her outstretched hand. "Not in a billion years. Now, bugger off."

Set rolled his eyes and sighed, his red eyes starting to glow. "Well, I hoped you'd be intelligent for once, but it seems the cards aren't in my favor today. But I will get his secret name someday, Sadie Kane. Have fun on your wild goose chase for the scroll." He waved his hand once more. "I won't take up any more of your time." He turned his eyes back over to Anubis, who stood in the same position as earlier, staring at them with his jaw clenched. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" And with that, Set exploded in a spiral of red sand, vanishing from the graveyard.

As soon as he disappeared, Anubis was outside of the gate of the graveyard in a flash. He rushed over to her faster than humanly possible, placing his hands on her waist as he examined her head to toe.

"Are you alright?" he asked, his eyes dark. "What did he want?"

"I'm fine; he kept his word for once," she said, wrapping her arms around his neck. "But he wanted your secret name. He said he'd give the location of that scroll Carter's been after for years in exchange."

"Sounds like a fair trade," Anubis said, breaking eye contact with her. Sadie rolled her eyes and smacked his head lightly with the back of her hand.

"I didn't tell him, you pillock," she said, wrapping her arm back around his neck. "Who knows what he'd do with that information. He literally killed my father; I won't let him hurt you too."

He stared at her, his head tilted to the side in confusion. Sadie rolled her eyes once more, leaning in to press a kiss to his lips.

"I love you, prat," she said, her eyes dark and serious. "I'm not going to sell you out for eternity just so I can get a bloody protection spell."

A tiny smile appeared on his lips. He slipped one hand around to her back, pulling her closer. "I do love you, Lady Kane."

"Mmm, I am pretty brilliant," she said, leaning back in.

He broke the kiss after a while, panting slightly, and looked her in the eyes. "Would you want to go down to my room in the Duat?"

Sadie's eyes widened once more, and she leaned in again, pressing a quick, hard kiss to his lips. "Carter's in charge for the evening. Let's go."

A/N: Chapter 2 will be up soon! Love, Madi.
