Chapter 5

 The City

My new life has begun

There was no change at all at the Nameless Pharaoh's tomb. Tents still littered the area and workers were hanging out in groups talking. It made Yugi's blood boil at how heartless they could be about someone's tomb when they were not supposed to be there. 'Even if I know the Nameless Pharaoh is not dead.' Yuugi thought.

Rishid worked his way through the tents and people, before parking the jeep right at the entrance. All three got out and were greeted by the boss that took Yuugi to the dean.

"What is your business here?" The boss all but demanded.

Ishizu gave the boss such a hard glare that Yuugi was almost afraid of her. "I have every right to be here. This tomb is government property and under the protection of the Ishtar family." She pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket and unfolded it to show the man. "Under Cairo law you are trespassing and if you haven't already heard from your dean, your university is being sued for destroying personal property with knowledge that it does not belong to the university."

The boss looked at the piece of paper and growled.

Yuugi grin when he realized the boss was in on it too. 'Oh I know how to get a little revenge.' Yuugi thought. "Ishizu, this happens to be the very man, who took me to the dean to get expelled." He said with a smile.

Ishizu looked down at Yuugi, before looking back at the boss. "Oh really, then I said we can add a personal charge to you for being in on this affair." She said sweetly.

The boss looked modified. "You have no right," he nearly shouted.

Ishizu placed her hands on her hips and looked very confident. "I have very much the right. I think it would be wise you step aside and let us do our business unless you want more charges bought on to you. I do not think you would like the idea of losing your job."

Without another word the boss turned and walked away, mumbled to himself the whole way to his tent.

Yuugi had the look on victory on his face as he started to help Rishid get his boxes out of jeep and down into the tomb. The tomb was void of any people so it only took two trips with the three of them to get all six boxes to the portal. With light in the tomb from the torches, Yuugi was surprised he ever missed the portal. The bricks at the dead end where the portal was located were made of pure gold and shined brightly in the light.

Rishid gently pushed the boxes one by one through the portal and once he was done turned his attention to Ishizu. "Is there anything else?"

Ishizu shook her head. "No, I believe that is all."

Yuugi turned his attention to Ishizu. "How will you keep the workers from going through the portal? I'm sure they have noticed these bricks are different from the rest of the tomb."

"The portal has actual been shut down temporary from after you made your phone call to me until about an hour ago. I contracted the King right before you arrived at my house and told him all that had been going on. He was worried that more people would try and enter the city without citizenship so he got his guardian to shut down the portal." Ishizu looked Yuugi right in the eyes. "After you enter this portal, the portal will shut down again until after this mess is worked out. If you ever for any reason need to leave vampire city, go to the King and see about using another portal until this one is back up and running."

Yuugi kept that information in mind and hugged Ishizu out of the blue. "Thank you for everything."

A little surprised by the hug, Ishizu took a minute to hug back. "You are quite welcome Yuugi. I know you have a bright future ahead of you."
