Hello there! I'm back with a new ficlet!
I have written the plan but I may re-write some parts.. I am hoping this idea will work!
Be warned I may take a while to update.. I'm at University so obviously that work has to come first.

Prologue
For a few short months everything had seemed so prefect. Atem had lost the ceremonial duel but had chosen to stay in the land of the living. He had come back to Domino City to live with Yugi and Grandpa. The Kame Game shop was becoming more popular which was making Grandpa very happy. Yugi was actually keeping up in school which was a first. Tristan was still trying and ultimately failing to flirt with Serenity, much to Joey's dismay. Tea's dream of pursuing a dancing career was looking promising. Duke's Dungeon Dice Monster game was becoming more successful, not as successful as Duel Monsters but still more successful. Everyone was doing well. It had all been so perfect. But after only four short months the happy, peaceful bubble they had been living was burst.
Atem vanished. He had gone out for an afternoon for his normal walk but never came back. Yugi had come home that day to find Grandpa in a panic as the former King had not returned. At the time, Yugi had told Grandpa to not worry as the Pharaoh was very independent and would come back eventually. Atem had left at two in the afternoon so it was likely he'd found something to occupy him which caused his arrival home to be delayed but when it got to eleven o'clock in the evening they knew that something was wrong. Atem had no mobile phone so there was no way to contact him. So, they had gone to Yugi's friends, hoping he would be there. He wasn't. So they turned to the Police. But they had said that Atem had to be gone for over twenty four hours before they would make him a 'missing person'. That night had been the hardest. Yugi had not slept at all, every noise made him sit up and look out of the window. Twenty four later Atem had not come back and no one had seen him. Having then gone back to the police, they had entered Atem as a missing person. They classed his disappearance as 'out of character' so that helped slightly with getting the search started. They had been told that they would most likely find him within the next forty-eight hours.
But they didn't. Three days after he'd disappeared, Atem had still not been found. There was very little evidence to track him; he had no phone so they could not use that method. There was only one piece of CCTV footage which only showed him walking past a small shop but that had given the police nothing to go on. Yugi had asked every one he knew if they had seen or heard from Atem but none had. His disappearance had affected everyone who knew him. It was such an unusual thing for him to have done. But of course his disappearance had affected five people in particular the most. Yugi, Grandpa, Joey, Tristan and Tea. They were all devastated that he'd just vanished. As for one they knew that it was completely out of character and secondly Atem had been fine in the days leading up to his disappearance. He had been perfectly happy which made it all worse.
The days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months. Still nothing. Eighteen months later Atem had still not been found and the police had stopped looking. They had said that if they were going to find Atem they would have. The police believed that Atem was dead. But Yugi and the others didn't. They believed that Atem was alive but were having to come to terms with the fact that it was highly likely that Atem would not return, that they would never see him again. But although they were having to come to terms with that, they never gave up hope that their friend was alive.
