"And now we're back with Amanra and Melody. They're going to be interviewing… who are you going to interview next?" The announcer asked.

"Good question." Melody answered.

"We don't know where anyone is." Amanra replied.

"You could interview each other now." Bakura suggested.

Melody looks at Amanra. "Do you want to now?" She asked.

"Sure. But, I'm sure everyone else is interested in what you can tell us." Amanra pointed out.

"Alright. My name is legally Melody Kaiba…"

"What's your former last name?" Amanra asks

"My parents died before I could learn it." Melody easily replied

"That explains why Gozaboro Kaiba is your stepfather." Amanra says to herself.

"Yeah." Melody answered, thinking Amanra was talking to her. She goes on, "My mom died after Mokuba was born. Our dad passed away 3 years later. For 2 years, we lived with an aunt until our inheritance was spent. After, we were plopped into an orphanage. For 3 years, we lived with the fear of being separated from each other. The whole time, Seto was perfecting his chess skills. To this day, I'm the only person to beat him. Seto and I would watch his matches on the TV all the time. We would then play out the moves and that way we figured out his strategies and way of thinking on the field." Melody trailed off.

"Then Kaiba beat him at chess." Amanra prompted.

Melody looks at her. "Yes. Mokuba always thought Seto had cheated at the game. But, the truth was that he won fair and square. Kaiba adopted all three of us. It was the biggest mistake of our lives."

"Why?" Bakura asks.

Amanra starts, "Because he was a bas-"

Melody interrupts her. "Because Kaiba was abusive. It was soon discovered that I was as sharp as Seto, so Kaiba started putting us both through the accelerated home schooling. It involved staying up until midnight and being whipped if we started to sleep. It was harsh. Mokuba tried to make it easier for us by giving us pictures and giving us duel monster cards. If it wasn't for that wrong turn, we would never have had any problems."

"What wrong turn? We know you were separated, but why?" Amanra asked curiously.

Melody, who had been sort of staring in space, looks right in her eyes. "Because I got lost one day and I discovered the computer."

"You mean…" Amanra starts.

"I discovered what happened to Noa after his accident. Kaiba must have kept some sort of security on the door, because he came racing down. He shipped me away to a… camp in Egypt." Melody stated.

Amanra slaps a hand to her forehead. "Oh, so you were kind of raised in Egypt. That makes sense now."

"Luck was on my side, though." Melody said. "I met Shadi and he became my teacher. He could feel that I, too, had a connection with the past. So, I studied hieroglyphs and tablets."

"So, that's how you were able to read the tablets in the museum and I couldn't read all of them even thought I studied them, too." Amanra said.

Melody says cheerfully, "Yup. A few months ago, I heard of an Intercontinental Duel Monsters Tournament. I left Shadi to go thinking I would be able to find Seto. I was successful. I saw Pegasus, so I was careful not to say anything around him. I waited for Pegasus to go and give the kid the victory. I called him by his childhood nickname. He turned around and saw me. He froze, then mouthed my name. I nodded and he got up and left, giving his regards to Pegasus."

Amanra fake sniffles. "I think I'm gonna cry…"

"This is a touching story." Bakura commented.

Melody continues. "So, I left too. We met up in the front lobby. He was looking around. I didn't wait for him to find me. I ran up to him and hugged him. Then we left for home."

Amanra thinks for a second. "How could he have known it was you? I mean, the nickname isn't enough to convince him of anything." She said.

Melody nodded. "True. But, we look a lot a like. I remember Tea telling me after they found out that she had thought we were siblings, but she didn't want to say anything. I was also wearing the necklace he and Mokuba made me for my 9th birthday. I'm wearing it now. –it's a green and blue beaded yarn-like necklace- So, we went back and caught up on what happened. Except, I didn't tell him about my magic or about Noa."

Amanra looks at her in amazement. "Wow. I never knew that was your story."

Melody thinks for a second before saying, "You know, if we allowed people to just talk like this, we may get more information about them. Too bad we already let go of Yugi. But, we got quite a bit of information out of him."

"She has a point." Bakura comments.

"So, when did you meet up with Yugi and the others?" Amanra asked.

Melody thinks. "I thought it would be a good idea if I kept the secret just between Mokuba, who was happy I was back, and Seto. So, I enrolled as a 10th grader and lied about the year I was born. I ended up being put in Yugi's class. I had never been to a school before, so they asked Tea if she could show me around. We became friends and so I got to meet the others."

Amanra was a bit surprised about this information. "So, how old are you?"

"I just turned 15 a couple months ago."

"So, you're the youngest out of all of us." Bakura comments.

Melody's eyes narrow a bit. "And? You're point would be?" She trails off.

Amanra sighs. "No fighting. So, you turned into a tomboy I'm guessing. How did the others figure out who you were?"

Melody answers without bothering to think the answer through. "When Mokuba came out and he didn't have his soul, I took a deep intake of breath. They didn't think anything of it, but then things were getting bad. My breathing became to get faster because with the use of my magic, I was able to tell Seto wasn't going to make it. When he lost, he looked up at me and said "I'm sorry". Then his soul was taken. I fell to my knees and started crying. Not until I was sure Pegasus was gone."

Amanra asks, "Isn't it true that's one of the only times you've cried in the past 10 years?"

Ye- Hey! You hacked into the diary I have on the computer." Melody accuses.

"Who, me?" Amanra asks, getting a halo over her head.

Melody grumbles. "Good thing all I put are events and not what I'm thinking. But, yes, it was. They were all worried of course. Joey made me angry by saying something about me being a girl he'd dumped. I yelled, "Stupid! He's my brother!" That sure shocked them."

"I'm sure." Amanra states.

Melody thinks for a second. "And Pegasus over heard me anyways. So, he knew he had another problem."

Amanra states the obvious. "So, you were pretty happy when Yugi freed them all."

"Yup."

Amanra thinks for a second for a question. "I heard that along with Mokuba, you were supposed to be bait for Seto when Lomis and Umbra kidnapped him."

Melody has to think because of the change in subject. "Yeah. I knew if I went, there'd be problems. So, I waited until we were flown over Seto to cut the rope with a little pocket-knife in the fold of my pants."

Amanra looks at her incredulously. "Who keeps a pocket knife in the fold of their pants?" She asks.

Melody shrugged. "It worked. I was able to cut myself free and went to cut Mokuba free, but they cut my rope. I flew into Seto. He caught me and we went to the twisted duel. Then all the fun dueling happened."

Amanra jumps a little bit, noticing her sarcasm at the end of the sentence. "Ok. So were you surprised to find out that your powers came from the latent Leviathan?"

Melody nodded. "That was a bit shocking. It was even more shocking to find out that Darts didn't even notice until I broke the seal in anger that one time."

"You broke the seal of Oricalcos?" Amanra states.

Melody rubs her hands through her hair. "Yeah, in that final duel when Seto lost. I lost my temper at losing him again and my power raged."

"How do you explain the cross between the two powers? I mean, Seto is the descendant of an Egyptian Priest and you had powers connected to the Oricalcos." Amanra observes.

Melody shrugged off the question. "Maybe the lines crossed between ancient Egypt and a survivor in the war of Atlantis. I mean, no one has been able to explain it to my satisfaction. Not that too many people have tried."

Amanra claps her hands. "Alright. I think that's enough for the moment. Ah, look at the timing! Our next victim."

Someone was coming down the hall towards the interviewers.
