I do not own

Kagome and Sango waited by the docks for Evy, Jonathan and their guide to the city of the dead. They really hoped that Ardeth and Rashid are able to stop them from going. They saw Evy and her brother walking towards them and they told them that they are just waiting for their guided.

"So you really think this guy is going to show up?" Kagome asked

"Yeah, yes, yes. I know he's a cowboy but I know his kind and his word is his word." Jonathan said

"We'll, personally, I think he's a filthy, rude, a complete scoundrel. I don't like him one bit." Evy said in anger

"Anyone I know?" A voice asked

Kagome and Sango turned to see a tall dirty brown, blue eyes American man. They recognized him. He was in the French union army that was at Hamunaptra three years ago. A bloodshed battle had happen between them and Arabs. He was the only one that survived.

"Oh hello." Evy said

Kagome and Sango saw the way she looked at the American and they hid their smiles and giggles.

"Smashing way to start our adventures, eh O'Connell?" Jonathan said patting him the chest before shaking his hands.

"Yeah, yeah smashing." The man said checking his pocket.

"At least he smart enough to not trust him." Sango said to Kagome and they laughed

Rick saw them and raised a brow.

"Oh yeah Mr. O'Connell these are good friends of ours Kagome and Sango. They live in the outskirts of Egypt." Evy said

"It's nice to meet you." Kagome said and Sango just bowed her head.

"Likewise." He said with a kind smile, turned back to Jonathan. "Oh that reminds me, no hard feelings about the…" He made a punching gesture with his fist.

"Oh no, no happens all the time." Jonathan said

"Yeah mostly by Kagome and me when he's drunk and try's to grope us." Sango smirked

Rick laughed seeing that he might get along with these girls.

"Mr. O'Connell," Evy said strongly "Can you look me in the eye and guarantee me that this all isn't some kind of a flimflam? Because if it is, I am warning you…"

"You're warning me?" Rick said in disbelief. "Lady, let me put it this way. My whole damn garrison believed in this so much that without orders they marched halfway across Libya and into Egypt to find that city. And when we got there, all we found was sand and blood. Let me get your bags." He added that sentence with a lighter note and walked up on the ramp, onto their boat.

Evy stared after him as he went.

"Oh yes, she right Sango. Filthy, rude, a complete scoundrel." Kagome said sarcastically in a British accent, with a smirk.

"Very indeed, nothing to like there at all." Sango smirked, joining in the game

Evy turned to them with a grin knowing that they were just teasing her but then it turn to a frown when she heard…

"Bright good morning to all!"

Kagome and Sango turned to see a smelly, fat, short Egyptian man.

"Oh no, what are you doing here?" Evy asked disgruntled

"I am here to protect my investment." He said making his way up the ramp too. "Thank you very much."

Everyone just sighed with displeased.

While everyone was outside Kagome and Sango stayed inside waiting for their fiancé. They heard a knocking on the door and Kagome went to open it. She smiled to see that it was Ardeth and Rashid.

"Ardeth." She kissed him after they came in and shut the door behind them.

"My love, I'm glad you're not hurt." He said

"Rashid." Sango said before kissing him

They heard people started shooting and knew that a battle was happening.

"You should leave now Al is getting the key and map." Ardeth said

"Hook man, you got to be kidding." Sango glared

Rashid laughed

"Even if you did take the map I don't think that'll stop Evie and the others." Kagome said "They have a guide that has been there."

"He's the same man that we let live three years ago." Sango said

"Looks like we have to kill them. Owe." Rashid said and his arm where Sango hit him.

"Evie is our friend, we can't kill them." Kagome pleaded

Ardeth sighed. He could never say no to his beloved desert flower.

"If they still go we will raid their camp give them a warning to leave. But if they don't leave the next day then we have no choice but to kill them my love." Ardeth said

"Kagome! Sango!"

"It's Evie." Kagome said

"We have to go." Sango said grabbing their bags.

"Remember my love be safe." Ardeth said before kissing her cheeks. "And don't let them find the creature."

"We'll try my love." She said and she and Sango left to fine Evie

When they did fine her they saw Rick toss her over board.

"There you two are." He said as he saw Kagome and Sango heading his way. "Can you two swim?"

"Yes we can swim, but if you think I'm gonna let you toss me over board like that you'll live to regret it pal." Kagome growled

She pushed him aside and jumped over herself, followed by Sango. When they reached the surface they saw Evy swimming towards the shore, so they followed after her. Moments later everyone made it to shore.

"We've lost everything." Evy said in disbelief as the boat burned down behind them and the others assembled on the other bank. "All of our tools, all the equipment, all of our clothes!"

"O'Connell! Hey, O'Connell!" Shouted a voice from the opposite bank. "It looks to me like I've got all the horses!"

"Hey Beni!" Rick taunted back "It looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the river!"

Kagome and Sango grinned at Beni's response as he mutter and kidded the water childishly. It reminded them of inuyahsa when he was proven wrong.

"So what now?" Jonathan asked, as he stood shivering

Kagome looked around and notice that their village is close by.

"Our village isn't far from here. We can restock are stuff from there." She said

Rick agreed to the plan and since he seemed to know where it was Kagome let him led the way.
