CHAPTER 2

"YUGI'S DISAPPEARESS AND REAPPEARESS"

"Besides I have a feeling dat wit Yug's powers we won't find him unless he wants ta be found." Joey said.

"I just wish I knew where he was." Téa said.

"Alright, good night guys." Gramps said walking inside and upstairs, seeing Yugi's door was open and his closet was empty.

"Yugi's things." He said, then Gramps saw the note on the bed. Then he walked over picked it up sat down on the bed and reads it.

"Dear Grandpa,

I'm sorry I have to do this but my powers are becoming hard to control. If I stay here any long I'll hurt someone. But, I'll be back when I can control them. Don't come looking for me, if I'm gone for a year, then you can look for me.

From Yugi."

"I have to tell the others." Gramps said running as fast as he could downstairs.

"Joey! Téa! Tristin!" He yelled.

"What is it?" Téa asked.

"Yugi ran away. Read this." Gramps said handing the note to Téa.

5 MINUTES LATER

"I wish he did have to go." Téa said.

"I know. But, I dink it's for da best. " Joey said.

"What are you talking about, Joey?" Tristin asked.

"Guys, ya didn't see what we saw Yug do. He may hurt someone, or even kill someone and if dat happens Yug will never forgive himself. He'll be back if he learns to control them, no make dat when he does." Joey said.

MEANWHILE WITH YUGI

"Are you sure this is the right thing to do? I mean maybe your no make that our friends are the key to controlling them." Yami said.

"I won't take that chance." Yugi said stopping in the middle of the street and before he realized it he, was hit by a car. Yugi lost consciousness. The driver put Yugi in her car.

10 MINUTES LATER

Yugi woke up.

"Who are you?" Yugi asked.

"I was about to ask you the same thing." Robin Andrews who was an American, who had curly red hair, she also had bright green eyes asked.

"The only thing I remember is the name Yami." Yugi said.

"That must be you name, Yami." Robin said.

"Why don't you stay here at least until your memory returns."

"You can't stay here." Yami said.

"Alright." Yugi said.

6 MONTHS LATER

Yugi became a chef at Robin's Pizza Place.

6 MONTHS LATER

Gramps, Téa, Tristin, and Joeywere at the pizza place for dinner.

5 MINUTES LATER

The Kaiba brothers walk in.

"Kaiba, what are you doing here?" Joey asked.

"My duel disk tracking system has pinpointed Yugi's duel disk to this restaurant." Seto said turning to Mokuba.

"Mokuba?" He asked as Mokuba put his laptop on the table.

"According to the satellite he's in the kitchen." Mokuba said as Seto started walking towards the kitchen.

Before Seto walked in Robin stopped him and Téa, Joeyran over to the kitchen door.

"Step aside, we're looking for a duelist who's been missing, now move out of the way." Seto said

"How long has this duelist of yours been missing?" Robin asked.

"A year to the day." Téa said.

"That's about when Yami joined me." Robin said.

"Yami, can you come out her for a minute?"

"What is it, Robin?" Yugi asked as he stepped out of the kitchen.

"Is this the duelist you've been looking for?" Robin asked.

"Yeah." Seto said sitting down at the closet empty booth in a state of shock at Yugi's appearance.

"Yami, these are friends of your from before the accident." Robin said.

"Really?" Yugi asked as he took his hair net off and his now elbow length hair fell, and he pulled it back in a ponytail. Yugi also now has a beard and moustache.

"Yugi." Téa said crying.

"Yugi." Gramps and Tristin said in unison and running over to Yugi.

"Yug." Joey said.

"I'm sorry. But, do I know you?" Yugi asked.

"What?" Joey asked as he, Téa, Tristin, Gramps, and Mokuba sat down at the same booth as Seto in shock.

"Yami, you better sit down too, because you need to here this as well." Robin said.

"Your friend had an accident about a year ago, and ever since he's had no memories of his past. How did you meet Yami, I mean Yugi?"

"I get it maybe hearin' how we meet him may jog his memory." Joey said.

"About 7 years ago he was being picked on by a bully, I defended him and we've been friends ever since." Téa said.

"You're starting to remember." Yami said.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Yugi thought.

"Me and Tristin meet him 5 years ago about 2 weeks apart. We use to pick on him; one-day da Hall monitor who was real bad ass started beating us up and-

"I defended you and got the shit beat out of me in the process. That night I finished the puzzle." Yugi said cutting off Joey.

"Yug?" Joey asked.

"I remember everything now." Yugi said.

"Oh, really then how about that duel you owe me?" Seto asked.

"Not now Kaiba, maybe next week." Yugi said.

"Fine, see you next week." Seto said as Mokuba slid out of the booth, and then Seto slid out and stood up.

"Yugi it's good to see you again." Mokuba said with a smile.

"Come on Mokuba, let's go." Seto said walking out the door.

"Coming! Bye, Yugi." Mokuba said running out the door.

"Yugi, let's go home." Gramps said.

"Robin, I have to go. It's time for me to go home." Yugi said.

"It's been great having you here Yami, I'm sorry it's Yugi isn't it?" Robin asked.

"Yeah. If you'd allow me to I'd like to remain a Chef here." Yugi said.

"Of course." Robin said.

"I'll start back in a month." Yugi said starting to walk out.

"Take your time. I mean you've been separated from your friends and family for a year." Robin said.

"But I– "

Yugi trailed off as he went into a trance.

MEANWHILE IN YUGI'S MIND

"We need to talk." Yami said.

"Yami, I want to thank you." Yugi said.

"For what?" Yami asked.

"For standing by me. Especial considering how many times I yelled at you." Yugi said nearly crying.

"I said terrible things to you, like I don't know who the hell you think you are but your nothing to me. Oh Yami, I'm so sorry." He said with tears streaming down.

"It's alright Yugi, you weren't yourself." Yami said trying to comfort him.

"But-

"It's just good to have you back to your old self." Yami said cutting off Yugi.

"Oh, sorry Yugi. I didn't mean to cut you off."

"Your right." Yugi said.

"About what?" Yami asked.

"Everything, I'm sorry I got so upset." Yugi said.

"Yugi, may I ask you a question?" Yami asked.

"You just did." Yugi said chuckling.

"Yes, I did." Yami said with a chuckle.

"But, it wasn't the one I wanted to."

"What is it?" Yugi asked.

"Nothing important." Yami said.

"Come on Yami. I've known you long enough to know when something's on your mind. Now what is it?" Yugi asked.

"I've watched you change over the last year, especially since you killed Yoh-Ko Urameshi." Yami said.

"Don't bring that up, I had no chose. Besides any other changes are called growing up." Yugi said.

"No, it's more then that." Yami said with a worried look in his eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about, now if you'll excuse me the others are worried." Yugi said.
