Chapter 5

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

They were now on their way to the dig site. They'd spent an hour getting their clothes measured up and then gone to look at the markets for 2hrs so their three pairs of clothing each could be adjusted to fit them properly. What happened was they had plenty made up so that when someone came in all they had to do was the adjustments to make it fit correctly.

While they were at the markets the boys found some things they liked which they brought. Malik brought a couple of daggers which he would arm himself with later. Ryou found some nice spices he would take home to use. Yugi found some games that he hadn't seen before so he would learn how to play and then play against his friends. After they went back and collected their clothes before getting into the jeep and heading to the dig site.

Arthur, when he dropped off the jeep, had given Solomon a GPS, which had recorded the route he'd used to get from the dig site to the motel. It was a bumpy ride on the way out there, the boys were holding on tight as they were bounced all over the place. After at few hours of travel Yugi, who was up front with his grandfather, spotted white tents on the horizon.

"I see it!" Yugi said.

"Yay! We're nearly there!" Malik said.

All three started at the sight that lay out before them. They could see rocky hills in the distance with the white tents before it. The hills were a red dirt colour that when they got to the tents they would find most of the hills were just cliff faces that the tents sat before. As they got closer they indeed did see the cliff faces but they also saw that the cliff faces had caves in them, which would have eroded or as the cliff side collapsed large rocks dislodged causing the cave like holes. Some of the caves were even just formed like that.

Solomon stopped the jeep at the tent site, the boys climbed out and grabbed their bags before following Solomon to the group of people who were eating.

"Ah Solomon you're here. Didn't get lost I hope."

"No the directions are excellent as always."

"Very good, well I'll show you to your tent and the boys. I've put them next to you."

Solomon nodded. "Thankyou my friend but first we should introduce the boys to the others."

"Yes, yes. We're nearly finished lunch and are going to head back in a few minutes."

Solomon waved the boys forward and they were introduced to the other men at the table. They were all archaeologists but some were just starting out as well. After the introductions were done Arthur showed them to the tents they would stay in. The boys headed in and put their things down on the bed they chose. While they were getting settled, Solomon came in.

"Just a few rules boys. I don't want you going to the dig site without me or Arthur and if you go with Arthur let me know. If you want to go wondering away from camp to take this with you and make sure, it's tracking before you leave and let me know beforehand. Take plenty of water with you. There are three backpacks here for you. Please if you leave camp be back an hour before sunset. And no wondering the dessert, stick to the cliff faces."

"Alright Ji-chan." The three boys said at the same time.

"Good you've put my mind to some level of rest over that."

"Ji-chan you don't have to worry. We'll be on the plane when you're done here on the dig and we'll be alive."

"Alright just don't make me worry about you boys." They nodded smiling. "Ok, I'm going to go see Arthur at the dig site. Stay at the camp for today. I'll take you all to see the dig tomorrow."

"Yay!" The all cried out.

Solomon just smiled and walked out. Yugi turned to his bag and pulled out some of his new games and sat on his bed and laid them out. Ryou sat down across from him and Malik grabbed his daggers and sat down on the bed as well and started to arm himself. Malik looked at Yugi and Ryou.

"Hey guys." Both looked at him. "Take these would you. Keep them on you the whole trip till we get back to the city to head home." Malik said holding a knife to them each, which had a sheath around them.

"Malik you can't be serious." Yugi said.

"I am."

"Malik why would we need them?" Ryou asked.

"Just in case. Besides there are snakes out here. Knives come in handy."

"Malik I don't know..." Yugi started.

"Yugi everyone here would have on, even Ji-chan. Ask him."

"Alright when he gets back but I won't beforehand."

Malik huffed but nodded anyway. Knowing Ryou would be the same he just put the two extra knives away.

"Now let's play a game." Yugi said.

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

Nightfall came and everyone was sitting around the table eating. Yugi sat next to his grandfather. Ryou sat next to Yugi and had Malik on his other side. Deciding to ask his grandfather about what Malik had wanted them to do earlier.

"Hey Ji-chan can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"Do you and everyone else here carry a knife on you while you are on digs?"

Solomon looked shocked at Yugi's question. "Why do you ask?"

"Cause Malik wants myself and Ryou to carry one each while we are here. He's armed himself rather well."

"Yes we all do and I think Malik has the right idea about you two carrying a knife on you. It's just for protection."

"Alright Ji-chan we will. I just wanted to check."

Solomon nodded and Yugi turned to Ryou and Malik and started to chat continuously with them. Solomon sighted knowing he should have got them all to have a knife when they first arrived. He just hoped they wouldn't need it.
