"Has anyone seen my son!" Aknamkanon yelled loudly. "Where is he?" Atem hid in his room in the closet.

He wanted to disappear sometimes. He was the prince of the secret country, Meta. He had a tight crimson outfit on with black stripes and lightly blue sequences. Atem heard the door open, and he looked through the peep hole.

"Atem?" said a female voice, Atem took a deep breath. It was only Mana, his best childhood friend. She was a magician in training who would one day serve him. She opened the closet and entered it with him. "Found you."

"Do you need anything Mana?" He asked, "Where is my dad?" Atem heard the door open said nothing and made sure Mana didn't either.

"Where is that boy?" Atem's dad asked himself as he closed the door. Atem felt his heart beat fast, he didn't not want his father to find him. His father could be abusive sometimes and it hurt Atem deep down in his heart. He wanted to escape to the human world without his father and see what it was like, he heard amazing stories about it.

"Hey Atem," Mana said as Atem looked at her. "When you are king soon, your dad will not force you into any lessons anymore." Atem said nothing and Mana looked confused for a moment and sighed. "You're thinking about the human world again, aren't you?"

"Yeah, sometimes I wonder what it would be like to go there and just not remember anything," Atem said as he looked down, tears falling. "That might sound selfish to many other people but my dad is horrible and I know so many others would want to have my life, be a prince. But dealing with my father for who knows how long is something I can't do."

"You want to forget about me, Ishizu, Seth, and Mahad?" Mana asked concerned.

Ishizu was the closet thing he had to a mom since Atem's mother died when he was five while Seth was his cousin who he got along with well and Mahad was Mana's magic teacher along with his.

"I would write a letter to myself explaining the situation. Think Mana, in the human world, I would be safe. I would no longer need to worry about my dad coming after me." Atem knew Mana was trying to guilty trip him into not going. He felt like he just needed to go. "Not to mention he wants me to get married to Anzu, the princess of Zuna. I can't stand that girl, she is so annoying." Mana giggled a bit.

"I have an idea, how about I give you three months WITHOUT your memories of anything here. I will cover for you for 90 days and can pretend to be you."

"But identity magic takes YEARS to master Mana," Atem said as he looked at her. "I am the prince and can't do it. Plus, what if my father comes after me? You know he could bring back my memories with a simple touch."

"Trust me Atem, nothing will go wrong," Mana said with a confident smile. "You will forget everything though. I advise you write down what you are, who you are, and why you are there." Atem nodded as Mana conjured up a piece of paper and a pen.

Atem suddenly opened his closet door quietly and Mana followed as he shut the door.

"You're certain about this Atem?" Mana asked in a sad tone.

Atem smiled and nodded. "I'm certain." Atem wrote the letter to himself.

"Okay then," Mana said with a sigh. "Great Gods, take this young prince and take his memories away for 90 days. Make him forget everything and send him to the other and yet mysterious human world, go!"

Atem smiled as he felt himself begin to fade and he disappeared. Mana now saw nothing and then cast a spell to make herself Atem. She made a clock, counting down Atem's time on Earth. "Make sure to be safe, Atem."

(With Atem).

Atem opened his eyes, hearing the sounds of traffic and looked around. He saw cars and people walking to work or teenagers hanging out together. He assumed he was in an alley way. He had so many questions in his head: Who am I? Where am I from? How old am I? Why am I here?

Yet suddenly, Atem felt something was in his pocket. It was a golden piece of paper, he took it out and read it.

Hello Atem,

I assume when you are reading this you have no memories. First of all, you are a prince from Metz, a city that humans do not know about so do not mention it to anyone. You are sixteen years old and in the human world to find a new boyfriend. The reason you have no memory is because of your childhood friend, Mana. You have magic but cannot access it.

You must find a safe place, your father is abuses you. You have three months in the human world till you need to return. Mana will be disguised as you in your place and is timing your time on Earth. You have a watch on just like hers that counts the time. Hide this note, nobody can know!

Why would Atem want to erase his own memories? He guess he would find out three months from today. He looked at the watch, it was May 8th, 2017 12:00 p.m. Atem began to walk around.

"Have a good day!" Yuugi said with a smile. He had gone grocery shopping and walked through the busy crowd suddenly he bumped into someone. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry." He looked up seeing someone that looked just like him. "Uhm…hi."

"Hi I'm Atem," Atem said as he looked around, Yugi raised an eyebrow.

"Are you okay?" Yuugi asked as he and Atem moved to a bench.

"Uhm..I was in an accident and I really don't know anything besides my name and that I am sixteen," Atem said, partially lying. Yuugi frowned as he set the bags down.

"Do you remember where you live?" Yuugi asked as Atem shook his head back and forth. "If you want, you can come stay at my apartment. It is only five blocks from here." Atem nodded as he started to walk back with Yuugi but it was so quiet it was becoming unsettling.

Once at the apartment, Yuugi pushed the button to the elevator and Atem followed him in. "Where did you grow up, Yuugi?" Atem asked as he tried to make conversation.

"Oh, I lived in Tokyo for three years," he said with a smile. "I'm eighteen now. Last year, I lived with my grandpa but he died of cancer and my parents died in a car crash when I was ten so I really have no family near me."

"Oh," Atem said looking away. "I'm sorry." Yuugi giggled as the elevator stopped and the doors opened. Atem and Yuugi walked down the white hallway and Yuugi went to his apartment number 919.

"Why are you sorry?" Yuugi asked him as he let Atem in first.

"For asking, I guess it wasn't my place to ask," Atem admitted feeling bad. Yuugi watched Atem sit down on the black couch and Yuugi turned on the tv.

Yuugi's apartment was small and had three seater couch and a big screen tv, his kitchen had a silver fridge and he watched Yuugi making two cups of coffee and he walked over and sat next to Atem.

"Do you remember anything else Atem?" Yuugi asked as Atem looked down, not saying anything. "Sorry."

"I remember I am here for an important task," Atem told him, but not wanting to go into too many details to make Yuugi curious. Maybe he would show the letter to Yuugi, just not right now.

"Hmm, hopefully we can get everything figured out. Do you remember where you went to school?" Yuugi asked after taking a sip of coffee.

I never mentioned to myself that I went to school. If I'm a prince, then I probably take lessons from someone. Atem thought.

"No, maybe someone helps me at home," Atem said as he tried his coffee, instantly falling in love with it.

"Oh, well hopefully your memory will come back soon," Yuugi said. "You can stay here as long as you'd like. Atem smiled, he could tell deep down Yuugi was a nice and caring person.

Mana looked in her mirror, she saw Atem with Yuugi and smiled. "He is kinda cute, it is good to know Atem read the letter though."

Mana had been sitting in Atem's room after Ishizu had visited her about some important issues about the Palace Festival coming up. Everyone except the prince himself was allowed to go. This was necessary since the prince was not seen as a man until they turned sixteen. Usually though, Mana would buy somethings and sneak them back to Atem to use.

She remembered the other year, she bought him a spell book to practice spells with her. He kept it locked away.

"I will come and find you Atem to see what you are doing every now and then," Mana said to herself.

She looked at her reflection, not seeing her tanned skin and brown eyes along with her brown hair. Instead, she saw Atem's hair, Atem's crimson eyes, and Atem's tanned skin.

"These will be a long three months," Mana said to herself.

"Here's a tooth brush," Yuugi said, handing one to Atem who smiled. "You can slip on some of my pajamas. We can go shopping tomorrow at the mall."

Atem looked down at his outfit. When he woke up, he had a leather shirt, tight leather pants, a black boots with a necklace with his name on it and bracelets.

Atem followed Yuugi out of the bathroom. "You can stay in that room there, it's the guest bedroom. I guess it's your bedroom for the time being." Yuugi laughed, "Anyway, night Atem."

"Goodnight Yuugi," Atem said, as he entered the room and closed the door. The room he was in was blue and had a white lamp on a simple night stand. Yuugi had given him black pajamas, but they were tight on him. Atem walked over to the bed with the white sheets and put his head onto the pillow and slowly fell asleep.

AN: Hope you enjoyed! Please tell me what you think.
