Chapter 5

Mutou Residence

"Cleo! I can't believe you're alive! I've missed you so much and I just can't believe you're back!" Grandpa Mutou exclaimed while hugging Cleo very tightly. "Umm… it's nice… to… see you again… too, Grandpa," she managed to say. "Umm… can't… breath!" she rasped. Grandpa then put her down and muttered, "Sorry."

After Cleo could breath normally again, Yugi asked, "Where have you been all this time, Cleo?" Cleo sighed and said, "You guys should make yourselves comfortable 'cuz it's a loooooong story."

" Well, since I remember almost everything now, I recall being at the hospital. A man came in and he said that his name was Gozaboru Kaiba. He said that if I came with him, he would take care of me and give me a home. Of course, I couldn't remember anything so I agreed. I came with him and he did take care of me and gave me a home but it came with a prize. He changed my name to Maia Kaiba and made me study everyday and every night without giving me a break. I was learning so much information that I was moved up to college level so I graduated about 3 years ago. While I was studying I was so tired, that I would sometimes fall asleep during dinner. It got so bad that I would have headaches, so he made me read a book on how to get rid of headaches.

"That's harsh," Joey said.

"Yeah, and I thought that our teachers were strict," Tristan added.

"I should sue Kaiba for doing that to you," Grandpa said.

"Umm… that's not necessary Grandpa," Cleo said.

"So you didn't just disappear after all?" Tea said

"Nope. Now where was I? Oh yeah. One day, Gozaboru came home with two kids. Guess who they were?" Cleo said.

"Umm… let me see, uhh… Tom, Eddy, Bob… tell me if I'm getting warmer. Jerry…" Joey said.

"Joey, don't strain yourself. It's Kaiba and Mokuba," Tristan said.

"I-I knew that!" Joey exclaimed.

"Oooookay, anyways, when Seto and Mokuba came, Gozaboru also made Seto study along with me. We sorta became friends. We would all look out for each other. It was like we were actually family. After Seto took over Kaiba Corp. he changed my name to April Anderson and wrote a contract saying that Mokuba and I will have shares of Kaiba Corp. along with him. He made me his vice-president, next to Mokuba. He would let me travel all over the world. I've been to some of the most beautiful places ever; like Italy, France, Rome, Greece, and of course, Egypt."

"Who knew Kaiba could be nice to anyone besides his brother?" Tristan said.

"Shocking isn't it?" Cleo asked, " Well, moving on. When I went to Egypt, I instantly fell in love with the sandy desert, the pyramids, and the beautiful sun. That was when I decided to take up Egyptology. That was how I found out about the Millennium Items. While I was in Egypt, a man came up to me. Yugi, I'm pretty sure you've met him during Battle City. His name was Shadii. He gave me the Princess's Locket. He said that I was the Chosen One to wield the powers of the Princess. Ever since then, I started wearing this necklace. That was how I met Athena. She was sorta like my best friend. I could tell her anything and she did the same. Athena had some powers that we both didn't know about. It wasn't until one night, when I had a vivid dream, that we found out. My dream was about a woman that almost got hit by a car. I thought that it was just some of those weird dreams but when I woke up and went for a morning walk, I saw the same woman in my dream. I thought that it was just de ja vu, but then I saw the van. It was swerving out of control and I jumped in, just in time to save her. After that, I had a few more cases where I've had visions while sleeping. When Athena's in control, she has visions way more often."

"Cleo, how did you know that Shadii and I met?" Yugi asked.

"Athena told me. She had a vision," Cleo explained.

"Oh, another question. What's de ja vu?" Joey asked.

"It's when you've felt like something's happened before. So, moving on. I came back to Domino because Athena had another vision. She said that it was something about her past. Athena doesn't know anything about her past until now, but the only thing she knows is her name, her powers, and that the Pharaoh is her older brother. Nothing else. And that's probably the end of my story," Cleo finished.

"Question. You work for KAIBA?" Joey exclaimed.

Cleo nodded. "He did help me out with that whole Gozaboru thing and I was the reason he got his first Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Plus, he's nice to me."

"That's amazing. What I can't believe is that you graduated from college already. What I really can't believe is Kaiba being NICE. We're talking about KAIBA here. The one whose threatened to take Yugi's title away and ripped up Gramps's Blue-Eyes card," Tristan said.

"I know. It's kinda hard to believe but I swear that I'm not lying," Cleo said.

"Well, it's getting late, so we should turn in. You guys are sleeping over, right?" Yugi asked.

Tristan, Joey, and Tea all nodded.

"Good night everyone!"
