Here's the next chapter. Just so you know I'm making up the clothing they wear since I can't find the ones I wanted in the story so I don't have the name. Enjoy.

Chapter 3
~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~
"Alright boys. First thing we are doing when we get there is get some sleep in the motel and then the next morning get you clothes suited to the climate." Solomon said.
"I already packed my old ones Ji-chan." Malik said.
"Alright than, just Ryou and Yugi then."
"What are you talking about Ji-chan?" Ryou asked looking confused as they waited for the plane to start boarding.
"Malik you want to explain?" Malik nodded.
"Because the clothing is tailor made to not make you sweat in the sun. Besides you and Yugi, Ryou will need it to not only to get cool but to not get sunburned. You will both start burning within 5mins of being in the sun. Besides you'll get to see what you'll wear before we land. I'll be changing."
"Why not just wear it before we came?" Yugi asked.
"Because I'd look like an idiot..." Malik started before being interrupted.
"You do that so we'll already." Ryou murmured.
"Shut up! And also I'd probably look like a terrorist. There's no need for it."
"Oh well that would scare many people." Yugi said softly.
"Flight JA117 to Cairo is now boarding through gate 10."
"That's us. Come on boys." Solomon said.
"Yay!" They cheered.
~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~
Once they got seated they settled down an hour into the 20hr 40min trip to Egypt with a stopover in London. They were curious on what Solomon and the other diggers were looking for. Solomon wouldn't tell them, till now.
"Ji-chan." Yugi said.
"Yes."
"What exactly are you looking for?"
"You three really want to know?" There were three very eager nods. "I guess I could tell you now."
All three boys got comfortable. There were seated in a line of four seats. Solomon sat on an aisle seat seeing how he was an old man. Malik had the other aisle seat on the other end of the four. Yugi sat next to his grandfather and Ryou next to Malik and Yugi.
Malik lifted up the arm rest between him and Ryou and moved his leg up and pulled Ryou between his legs so he leaned against his chest and did the same with Yugi. Anyone would of thought they were lovers but in fact they were just close like brothers.
"Comfortable?" Solomon asked chuckling.
"Very." Yugi and Ryou said at the same time while Malik just smiled.
"Yeah they're keeping me warm." Malik chuckled.
Solomon shook his head before getting comfortable himself.
"Alright, so my college friends and I have always been looking for the 'The Snake King's Temple'. It has been rarely found in any texts around. The only small amounts we find are in digs in temples we thought might be the 'The Snake King's Temple'. But each time we were wrong, although in most of the digs we would get more information on where its location would be.
"There is a legend thought. Would you like to hear it?" All three nodded. "Alright, let's see. It's said to of happened 5000years ago back in the time of the Pharaohs. They say there were creatures that were half human, half snake and could change so they looked like an actual snake. They were called Naga's.
"There was a war between the humans and Naga's. It was said to have lasted days before the Naga's were forced to retreat but not before taking someone important to the humans. Their Pharaoh. We don't know what happened to that Pharaoh but it is said that his name was removed from everywhere. It is also said that they took his two most trusted bodyguards/friends as well. Their names are not know either.
"In retaliation to the kidnapping of their Pharaoh, the humans wiped out the rest of the Naga's. It is said during the wiping out three Naga's got away to a temple that protected them."
"The Snake King's Temple." Yugi said.
"Yes. But it wasn't called that till after. It was named that because of the three Naga's that survived."
"That sounds cool." Malik said.
"I hope you find it Ji-chan." Yugi said.
"So do I. That wasn't it though. After 100yrs or so the three Naga's attacked the humans and sacrifices were made to keep them appeased. After 3500yrs these sacrifices stopped and the temple vanished from sight never to be seen again."
"What do you think happened to it Ji-chan?"
"I think they found a way to hide the temple so nothing happened to it or themselves. Others say it was swollowed up by the desert or destroyed."
"Cool."
"Yes now how about we get a little sleep or rest before getting off in London. Up to you three. When we get back on the flight to Cairo I suggest for sure for you to get sleep. We'll be staying in a motel in Cairo and in the morning getting Yugi and Ryou's clothing before heading to the dig site."
"Ok Ji-chan." They said.
Solomon put his seat back and placed a sleeping mask over his eyes to shut out the light. They were silent for a while to let Solomon go to sleep. So they just sat there resting. Yugi crawled over the two before heading to the bathroom and then after crawled over them again.
"You think Ji-chan will find it this time, Yugi?" Ryou asked.
"I hope so. I don't think he'll be able to go on digs soon. Another year, maybe two."
"True, I'm sure the same could be said for his colleagues." Malik said and they nodded.
"You excited to be heading home Malik?"
"Yeah. I mean I didn't enjoy living underground but I don't mind the country itself."
Malik's family had lived underground in a tomb for years and Malik for the first seven years of his life. But it was robbed and the people that did it had guns. They basically said that they'd kill them if they tried to stop them. Ishizu pulled Malik to her and kept away. Malik's father tried to stop them but he was killed. They robbed the tomb and left Ishizu and Malik alone.
After that they stayed in Egypt for a couple of years after leaving the tomb and then moved to Japan. Malik learned Japanese easily and went to school and met Yugi, who would shy away from him. The first lunch time he saw Yugi getting bullied and ran to help him. After that they were friends.
"Let's get some sleep like Ji-chan said." Ryou said.
"Yeah good idea." Malik said.
All three curled up together and fell asleep. When they landed in London they got out and found somewhere to sit down close to their next gate. After getting on the next flight, they curled up again together like before and went to sleep after mucking around for a couple of hours.
