AN: Well it has been a little bit. Sometimes I just get burned out on
writing. This chapter should prove to be a good one. The kids go back to
Egypt to see the tablets of destiny to see what is going on and for Kayla
to find out something about her parent's, but will she find out more about
her real family.

"COME ON LET GET THE MOVE ON IT! I WANT TO BE THERE BY MORNING YOU LAZY ASSES!" Kay yelled as she left the game shop to load the last of the bags into limo.
"Chill Kay we are coming." Milia yelled from the top of the steps as Joey came out to stand by Kayla.
"You sure about this little one?" Joey had been concerned ever since his lover had called him.
"Yes Uncle Joey, I know that tomb inside and out mostly, I won't get caught by any traps." Kay reassured her parent's best friend.
"I trust you I really do Kay, but your parents made me your god father for a reason sweetie. I just don't want you to get hurt."
"It's ok Uncle Joey, trust me." Kayla hugged Joey before she got into the limo. The others soon followed and they were on their way to the airport where the private jet was waiting to take them to the tomb dig site and hopefully answers.
"You guys have to promise me not to go into that tomb without me. It is dangerous and could get you killed if you trip a tomb robber trap.
"What do you hope to find Kayla?" Seth asked as he watched the buildings pass on by as they made their way to the airport.
"I hope to find something in the tablets. I think it is funny that two days after my parents find them they go missing. I hope to find something that will help me locate them."
"These tablets will tell you what exactly?" Milia and Jack were puzzled.
"The Tablets of Destiny hold prophesies that the ancients wrote down. They are said to predict the return of the shadows and the end of the world. I am hoping that this is not on those tablets. But when the Sennen Items are into play anything can happen." Kayla explained to her two clueless friends as they arrived at the airport.
"If there is something on them what do you plan to do young Hikari?"
"I will let you know when I decipher the tablets Seth." As they got out of the limo and started to walk across the tarmac towards the waiting jet.
"Where are we gonna stay once we get there?"
"In the house Dad had built for Kay and her parents years ago."
"Now that makes sense. So what do we do while we wait to get there?" As they sat down in the jet and heard the door close and lock.

Egypt
"Wow is it hot here." Milia stepped out of the plane.
"No shit Sherlock, this is Egypt of course it is hot. Why do you think you are wearing shorts and a tank top?" Jack was rewarded with a slap upside the head from Milia. For Kayla and the Yami's it felt like home. To have the hot dry heat floating around them like a mother holds her child. To have the sun beat down on you like a permanent sun tanning booth. The sand caressed their skin like a lover would caress with there lips.
"You guys wanted to come so stop you're bickering and let's go, the jeep we always keep here should be waiting for us." Kayla walked off toward the spare Jeep that was always there for her for when she would come out and visit. Kay climbed in and started Jeep. Yami had taught Kayla to drive at age ten when he was not supposed to.
"Where we going Kay?" Jack asked taking shotgun.
"To the Valley of the Kings" Kayla informed Jack and everyone else as she thru the Jeep into reverse and hit the gas. She wanted to get there as soon as possible.
"Damn Speedy settle down!" Adam yelled as she thru it into first gear and then into third as she speed away from the airport and down the road to the Valley of the Kings.
~:::~
"So this is where you grew up?" Seth was curious.
"Yes Seth, this is where I spent most my childhood." Kayla stopped the jeep in front of the house to see it still open. The door was still open.
"Why would those baka's leave the damn door open like that?" Kayla walked into to her old house and saw the place was ramshackle.
"They were looking for the puzzle." Fear almost gripped Kayla's heart. She knew her parents would stay alive till that puzzle was found. She was glass it was in her room under the floorboard in a heavy safe.
"So they tore the place up looking for it. Damn how rude. Oh well, Kay want us to help you clean up before we hit the tomb?"
"By the time we clean up it will be supper time and papa taught me to never go into the tomb at night. So we have to wait till tomorrow." Kayla walked off before she started crying to the room she had occupied as a kid and now when she visited the site. Adam started after her but was stopped by Seth who went instead.
"I know you hate me for what I did, but we are here for you. I understand you hardly call the pharaoh papa, care to talk about it.
"No Seth I do not wish to talk about it, I just want my father's back. Now get out of my room." Kay snapped at the Yami who left cause he knew better than to anger her further.
**She gonna be ok?** Adam asked thru there link.
*I am not sure Adam. But we have to find her parents, for I fear she might do something without them.*
**I know what you mean. Come lets get this place cleaned up** Adam cut the link off and went to cleaning up the house. Besides a break for lunch all the gang did was clean the house up. It was not until late when they got to bed only to be woken up a few hours later by Kayla.
"Come guys time to go into the tomb." Kayla shook everyone away and started for the kitchen where breakfast was waiting.
"Kay it is five in the morning." Jack protested.
"By the time we get thru eating and cleaning up, it will be six and the sun will be up." Kay started on her eggs as the boys continued to grumble as they got their coffee.
~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~ :::~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~:::~
"Is it always this damp?"
"Yes Milia it is." Kay held the lantern up as they walked down the dank hallway of the tomb. They were heading into the back where the new complex had been found as well as the Tablets of Destiny. Kay had found this place in her father's notes that they had painstakingly sorted last night.
"How could you deal with this?"
"You know what if you babies can't handle it here then have Seth and Calia take you back while I work. I don't need to listen to your bitching." Kayla rounded on her friends before she continued walking.
"Kay calm down ok." Adam yelled before running after Kayla as they reached a huge cavern. It was a massive black hold that was lined with stone. They found Kayla standing before a hole in the wall.
"What in the hell, they are supposed to be here. The tablets are missing." Kayla said in a low voice, one filled with tears.
"It will be ok; we will find all the parents." Adam's hand of friend ship was violently shrugged off as Kayla took off towards another path that her parents said existed.
**Keep them in that area.** Kayla commanded her Yami as she went down the same dark dank passage her parents had encountered the Magician of Black Chaos. Kayla came to the same three-way fork in the tunnel. She found that she was drawn to the door on the left. She walked towards It. All the sudden just as she was about to enter the tomb, she was stooped by a realistic looking Magician of Black Chaos. He had his staff pointed at her.
"Wow I am not here to do any harm." Kay muttered out loud as she held up her arms. Suddenly the high level magician put his staff down and disappeared upon seeing the gauntlets.
"Ok that was strange, but dad did mentioned that in his notes." Kay muttered to herself as she entered the tomb. Kayla saw a body wrapped in sick over the bandages of the mummy. Hieroglyphs lined the walls telling of this person who had been a priestess. Kayla was looking for a name when she felt a presence behind her. It was like death hand, chilling Kayla to the bond as it wrapped its fingers around her body and made her shiver.
Kayla turned around to start into the eyes of a woman who was dress in what looked like a crop top and a half skirt that rode up one him making the other side longer. She held a staff in her hands. She looked upon Kayla with a warm gleam in her eyes and a smile. "I have waited so long for you my child." Istral spoke to her descendant.
"Wh..wh..who are you?" Kayla asked dumbstruck as this woman stood before her looking like an Amazon. It intimidated Kayla cause she had a feeling this was the mummy talking to her.
