Chapter One – Sisterhood

Victoria yawned, rubbing her eye with the side of her knuckle, as she walked into the too large kitchen. She’d showered, tied her medium length hair into two ponytails hanging over her shoulders – as she always wore them – and dressed in a skirt, shirt and her favourite ankle high boots. But none of that had helped her wake up at all. Trudging her way over to the fridge she opened it and looked for the apple juice.

“You think you’re tired?”

Victoria looked out from the fridge to see that Mokuba was sitting at the kitchen table, a bowl of cereal sitting in front of him. His hair was dishevelled and he looked terrible. Once more he was dressed in his school uniform. “Mokuba you look horrible.”

“Yeah well, I’ve been up all night finishing my assignment for school.”

“Mokuba.” Victoria scolded. “You shouldn’t do that!”

“I didn’t have much choice. I left it for the last minute.”Mokuba explained.

Victoria shook her head as she retrieved the apple juice from the fridge and then a glass from a nearby cupboard. “You should manage your time better. Maybe you can ask Seto about it. He’ll help you out.”

“Nah, I can’t bother Seto, he’s got too much to do right now – with the new duel disks he’s organising and the Kaiba Land theme park to manage.” Mokuba reminded her. “I can work it out by myself.”

“How about I ask him then?” Victoria offered, giving Mokuba no opinion, as she poured apple juice into her glass and poured one for Mokuba. “What classes do you have today?”

“Maths, English, Science and History.” Mokuba replied, sounding depressed about the idea.

“They sound pretty interesting.” Victoria allowed. “History does at least.”

“Not right now. We’re just learning more about World War One – and I know enough about it already.” Mokuba said, picking at his cereal.

“Mokuba, just learn to enjoy school while you still have the chance to go, okay? I would have loved to go to proper school – if I had I’d have other friends my age. As it is I only have you guys. Not that I mind that at all – but you have friends at school right?”

“Not heaps…most people see me as a Kaiba and think that I’m too uptight to accept a friendship – after all, Seto was that way for a long time.” Mokuba replied. “But there is one person.” He admitted.

“Oh?” Victoria asked, catching onto the tone of his voice. He had a crush. “Who is it?”

Mokuba flushed and opened his mouth to deny her when Roland walked in.

“Mokuba, it’s time for you to go to school.”

Mokuba didn’t shut down that opportunity in a hurry. He leaped off his stool and after downing his glass of apple juice he embraced Victoria and ran for the door. “See ya later, Tori~!”

Victoria reached a hand out, but he was already gone. “Bye.”

“Miss Kaiba, Mr Kaiba has asked you to meet him in his study once you have eaten.” Roland informed her.

“Okay.”

Roland bowed to her and then left after Mokuba to get him to school.

Victoria sighed with a weak yawn and began to prepare her breakfast. Knowing her older brother he hadn’t eaten yet, she made him some food as well. She didn’t know if he would end up eating it or not, but she’d rather give him the option. After she fried the eggs and buttered the toast she placed them onto two plates, refilled her glass and filled another with freshly made coffee. She sang a sweet little tune as she worked, the rhyming love story filling her heart with light as the words brought her the greatest joy.
