A few days later, when everything was back to normal, Cerise told Atemu about herself.
They went walking in the park.
"Well, you know my history as far as Kaiba is concerned." She said to him, as they walked along the path.
She chose a quite little spot close to a pond. She sat down and he sat down close to her. He put his arm around her and listened.
"I see you're wearing your necklace." He said, playing with the little charm.
His hand was warm on her skin, as always.
"Always." She said, touching his hand.
"Anyway, what I want to tell you is that, I don't know how to tell you this." She sighed.
"Just say it." He said.
"When I left, I went to Mexico."
"I know. Amber told me."
"When I got there, I went to go see someone. Ricardo." She explained.
"Should I be worried?" he asked.
"Ricardo, no." She smiled.
"Go on." He said, shifting his weight.
"I used to work for him."
"Doing what?" he asked.
She looked down and fidgeted with her fingers. He put his hand over hers.
"Tell me, it's okay." He said.
"I was, an, assassin." She said slowly.
"You used to kill." He asked and she nodded.
"Yeah, I used to kill for money." She said.
"That's why you could catch that knife that almost hit Yugi." He thought back.
"Yes, I like knives, swords those types of things. My weapon of choice." She said.
"And to think I was worried about you." He smiled.
"So you're not angry?"
"No, why? You didn't try and kill me." he said, sitting back on the bench.
"And I never will. I'd rather die." She said quickly.
"I know that." He smiled back.
She lay on his shoulder and he laid his head on her head.
Over the next few days, she told him how she and Amber grew up in a martial arts school, with no mom or dad, only sensei's.
"It must have been tough for you two." He said.
"Yeah, it was. We only had each other."
"Well at least you can work with a sword." He said.
"I'm the best swordsman, woman, in the southern hemisphere." She smiled and he smiled back.
