CHAPTER 3

"The Missing"

"Atemu, maybe we should just go back to Domino." Seto said shaking his head sadly.

"I agree, Kaiba. Yug'll be more likely to call the Game shop." Joey said nodding.

Joey sighed internally in relief that Atmera stopped Tenma before he was sent to the shadow realm. Yami slowly nodded.

"Wheeler, you can go back to Domino with Mokuba. Yami and I will take my Jet." Kaiba said.

"Alright, Kaiba." Joey said.

Kaiba grabbed Yami's arm and pulled him out of the room and to the airport.

2 YEARS LATER

Yami was really depressed and hasn't spoken to anyone since Yugi disappeared.

"Any ideas Kaiba?" Joey asked.

"I could see if my duel disk tracking system can find him, seeing as Yami's doesn't have it, we can assume Yugi has it." Kaiba said.

"What about Yami?" Joey asked.

Then Joey looked over at Yami sitting on Yugi's old bed.

"I never thought I'd see Atemu like this." Kaiba said as Solomon walked.

Solomon walked over to Yami and sat on the bed.

"There hasn't been any change what so ever, since I brought him here 2 years ago!" Kaiba demanded of the old man.

Solomon shook his head.

"No." Solomon said.

Solomon brushed a bang away from Yami's face. Yami slowly looked at Solomon.

"Yami, it's lunch time." Solomon said.

Solomon offered a plate he brought in with him to Yami. Yami took the plate.

"If you too have any ideas on how to find Yugi go ahead, I'll stay with Yami." Solomon said.

Kaiba and Joey nodded and ran out of the shop and to Kaiba's office.

MEANWHILE IN EGYPT

A 6 year old little boy wareing a hood stole some food and got caught but, just before they could cut off his hand there was a bright flash and the guy was knocked back. The boy took this obertuneaty to run and literally bumped into Marik Ishitar and fell on his butt.

"Owwie." The boy said.

"Are you alright, child?" Ishizu asked.

"Yes, ma'am." The boy said.

"Perhaps we should contiue this in the underground." Odion suggested.

"Of course." Ishizu said and picked up the child.

5 MINUTES LATER

The Ishitars and the boy arrived and Ishizu put the boy down and took off his hood. Marik and Odion lit the lanters lighting up the whole room and Ishizu gasped at the sight of the little boy. Marik and Odion turned to see why Ishizu gasp and they gasped as well. The boy was about 6 and had amethyst eyes. He had tri-colored hair. His hair was elbow length and the extra waight of his hair made it lay limply at his elbow. But, there was no doubt about who it was.

"By the gods. We must call the game shop." Ishizu said.

Then Ishizu ran out of the underground and into their new appartment. Soon the phone ran at the Game Shop.

MEANWHILE IN THE GAME SHOP

"I''ll be right back, Yami." Solomon said.

With that Solomon ran downstairs to answer the phone.

"Hello, Kame Game Shop." Solomon said.

"Mr. Motou, this is Ishizu Ishitar." She said.

"Oh, hello Ms. Ishitar." Solomon said as Joey ran in.

"We found Yug, he's in Egypt!" Joey exclaimed.

"Mr. Motou, that's why I called, we bumped into Yugi. He's with Marik and Odion in the underground right now." Ishizu said.

"He's with Marik and Odion." Solomon said.

"Yes, but, it's strange." Ishizu said.

"What's strange?" Solomon asked.

"He seems to be a child again." Ishizu said.

"How old would you say?" Solomon asked with concern.

"I would say 5 judgeing by his height...

MEANWHILE IN EGYPT

Marik and Odion walked in and Marik was carry Yugi on his hip.

"I'm 6." Yugi pouted.

"Correction, he's 6." Ishizu said.

"I see." Solomon said.

Then Solomon carried the cordless phone up to Yugi's old room and over to Yami.

"Can you put him on? Even if he doesn't remember anything. Maybe hearing his voice will be enough to snap Yami out of it." Solomon said.

"What do you mean snap him out it?" Ishizu asked.

"Yami's been very depressed since Yugi disappeared 2 years ago. He hasn't spoken since." Solomon said.

"I see." Ishizu said and took Yugi from Marik, holding Yugi on her hip.

MEANWHILE IN THE KAME GAME SHOP

Solomon took the plate and put it on the nightstand. Yami cocked his head to the side in confusion.

"Here." Solomon said.

Solomon handed the phone to Yami. Yami frowned at Solomon.

"Just trust me and listen." Solomon said.

Yami shrugged and put the phone to his ear.

MEANWHILE IN EGYPT

"It's your brother." Ishizu said.

Then Ishizu gave Yugi the phone.

"Hello, Yami?" Yugi asked.

"Y-Y-Yugi..." Yami studdered speaking for the first time in 2 years.

"It's me." Yugi said.

"W-W-Where are you?" Yami studdered.

"The Pharaoh's a bit out of pratice. He hasn't spoken in 2 years." Ishizu said.

"Egypt." Yugi said.

"R-R-Really." Yami asked.

"Yeah, before I come home I should warn you about something." Yugi said.

"W-What is it?" Yami asked.

"The pharaoh won't believe it. I think it will be best if he sees it instead." Marik said.

"It'll probably be best if you see it, Yami." Yugi said.

"I see." Yami said.

"I'll be home soon." Yugi said.

"OK, Yugi." Yami said.

"Bye, Yami." Yugi said.

"Bye, Yugi." Yami said.

Then Yugi and Yami hung up their phones.

&I wanna go home.&

Are you sure, father?

&Yeah.&

Alright.

Then the HSP flashed and Yugi's eyes turned crimson and then three blonde streaks appeared in his hair.

"Thank you for your help." Atmera said.

Then there was a bright flash and Atmera disappeared and reappeared in the back room. Then the HSP flashed and Atmera turned control back over to Yugi. Then Yugi walked out and was hidden behind the counter and walked out from behind the counter and towards the steps. Joey stared at the child in shock.

"Yug?" Joey asked in shock.

Yugi spun to face Joey. Yugi looked at the ground.

"It is ya ain't it!" Joey demanded.

Yugi looked up at Joey. Yugi nodded.

"It's me, Joey." Yugi said.

Joey scooped Yugi up and ran upstairs and into Yami's room. Then Joey put Yugi down on the floor. Yami looked at Joey, and Yugi.

"Welcome home." Solomon said with a smile.

Yugi smiled.

"Thanks grandpa." Yugi said.

Yami gasped when it hit him.

"Yugi." Yami gasped in shock.

"It's me." Yugi said.

Yami jumped off the bed and embraced Yugi. Yugi hugged Yami back.

I missed you, Yugi.-

/I know and I missed you too, Yami./

Why didn't you come back sooner?-

/I just remembered everything./

I see.-

/What matters is that I'm back. But, I think we should try and figure out how to turn me back./

Alright, Yugi.-

/Let's hurry./

OK, aibou.-

"Let's try and fix this." Yami said.

Yugi yawned.

Yami smiled slightly.

"Are you tired, Yugi?" Yami asked with concern.

/Yeah, it's this damn chibi body./

Yami chuckled and picked up Yugi.
