Chapter VIII: Out in the Wild Egypt [Z]

I take a sip of water, Sirius drank my coffee, the water seems to be settling my stomach that had started to act up. "Zoë! Sirius!" I hear Lily call behind me. I turn to see her and James coming toward us. Sirius waves at them to join us at the table. "So what have you been up to?" I ask.

"Nowhere much, just to a market nearby." James replies.

"About the same here." I shrug. "You call going to the Per Ankh the same as going to the market?" Sirius says. "You gotta remember that we practically grew up go into the House." Yugi says with a slight shrug. I look at Sirius, which was fiddling with the mug without much of the coffee drank. I place my hand on his, he looked up and gave me what seems to be a reassuring smile, "Come on." I got up, pulling Sirius up with me. "Where to?" he asks.

"Some where, just trust me." I glance to see Yugi giving a slight nod, "Now come on." I pull on his arm and followed with a slight confused look.

"Here." I brought him to the top of the sand dune, my hand in his. "Wow, What is this place?" he asks softly as if it would ruin the view. In front of us was a beautiful sunset, because it took us a few hours to walk to the hill. Down below, the Nile flows in it majestic hues. "This was always my favorite view growing up, thankfully it hasn't been destroyed by urbanization. But I wanted to show you it." I say "It was my maternal grandmother that showed me it when I was little. Not many knows of this spot or they only see it once in their lifetime." Sirius hugs me and I could feel some years falling onto my shoulder "You okay?" I ask softly, hugging him back. "I don't know, it's just-"

"I know, it is a lot to take in. But you can talk to me okay?"

He nods, keeping us in the hug. I suddenly felt lightheadedness. "Let's sit down. We can go back at dark." I suggest, Sirius nods no longer crying. We sat down, I snuggled up to him as he put his arm around me. "You know, your grandmother picked a nice spot." Sirius says, I nod "Yeah, she always liked looking at the Nile." Sirius kiss my forehead "I love you Zoë."

"I love you too Sirius."

Pretty soon it was dark and we walked back to the hotel where James, Lily and Yugi were waiting. Yugi looked the least worried. "Where the hell were you guys?" Lily asks, she almost had a glare. For some odd reason, I started blushing "Somewhere in Egypt, why?" I ask. "It's after dark! You could've gotten attacked by a lion or something!!"

"Um, about the lions-"

"Don't you dare Zoë. It doesn't change the fact that you could still get hurt!"

"Yes Mom." I mumble, "That's what I thought, now you two are grounded for the rest of the trip." Lily remark, but James intervenes "Dear, don't you think that you are being a bit too harsh? I mean they are adults." Lily wouldn't have so, Sirius and I walked to our room, Yugio gave me the grin that he normally gives me when I did something our mother didn't like.
