Mokuba's First Love

Chapter 1: The New Girl

Mokuba sighed, stepping into class and sitting at his usual seat. He looked around the classroom. The girl were fanning themselves with their hands, cursing school uniforms. Mokuba could understand their frustration; he was hot himself. The class quickly quieted down and got into their seats as the teacher came in. They called her Takana-sensei.

"Good morning class."

"Good morning Takana-sensei."

Takana-sensei then began roll call, and after that started the lesson. Halfway through, the principal - Yoshiro-san - walked in with an unknown girl. She had black hair that reached mid-back, but he couldn't see her eyes because her bangs were covering them. Mokuba guessed she was a new student because she was wearing the school uniform. Yoshiro-san and Takana-sensei talked for a bit, before Yoshiro-san walked out. Takana-sensei turned to the class.

"Everyone, I'd like you to meet Esawa Naomi. She'll be joining our class this year. Please treat her as you would want to be treated. Would you like to tell us about yourself Naomi?" Takana-sensei asked the girl. She nodded, stepping up and standing straighter.

"Hello. My name is Esawa Naomi. I'm thirteen years old and I hope to make new friends here in Japan. I formally lived in Canada. It's nice to meet you all." She said, bowing.

"Alright Naomi. You can go sit next to Mokuba. Mokuba raise your hand." Takana-sensei instructed. Mokuba did as he was told, and Naomi made her way down the rows of students to sit next to him. Takana-sensei then continued the lesson, until she was called out for a phone call. Mokuba sighed, bored, before he looked to his right to see the new girl doodling in a personal art book. Curious, Mokuba leaned over to see what she was drawing.

'Is that... me?' Mokuba thought, looking at the pencil drawing.

"Do you like it?"

Startled, the young Kaiba almost fell over. He heard giggling, and glanced at the Naomi. He blushed and rights himself in his chair, clearing his throat. Naomi smiled and handed him the drawing. As Mokuba looked over it, she fidgeted in her seat. "What do you think?" She asked him. He smiled stupidly.

"You're great at drawing." He said. Naomi broke out in smiles. "Can I keep this?" He asked her. Naomi looked puzzled for a second, but shook her head and smiled.

"Of course!" She exclaimed. Mokuba smiled back at her and put the drawing in his backpack. Takana-sensei came in right after the bell rang.

"Well I guess that's lunch." Mokuba commented as he turned to Naomi. "Do you want to sit with me and my friends?" Mokuba asked her. Naomi smiled brightly.

"I'd love to!" She exclaimed. After grabbing their lunch boxes from their lockers, Mokuba led Naomi to the cherry blossom tree he and his friends always sit at. Mokuba gestured her over after he sat down. Naomi quickly jogged over to where they were sitting, taking a seat beside Mokuba.

"Guys, I wanna introduce you to Esawa Naomi. She's new." Mokuba said. Naomi smiled, waving.

"It's nice to meet you!" She said.

"Likewise Naomi! My name is Shizuka, and this is my brother Jounouchi." Shizuka introduced, smiling. Naomi smiled.

"I can introduce myself Shizuka!" Jounouchi cried at his younger sister, who smiled and laughed.

"I'm Honda. It's nice to meet you too Naomi." He said, shaking her hand.

"I'm Mai. I already graduated from school, but I visit them every lunch period." Mai explained, nodding her head to Naomi.

"Well that's very kind of you." Naomi responded as Mai shrugged.

"Hey I'm Otogi. I hope you like it here so far." He said. Naomi smiled.

"I like it a lot here. It's such a great place." Naomi remarked.

"My name is Anzu. I'm glad to have met you Naomi." Anzu said. Naomi smiled.

"Likewise Anzu. And thank you."

"I'm Yugi, and that's my older brother Yami." Yugi said, pointing to Yami. Naomi smiled and bowed.

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." She said, bowing right back. Yami looked at Yugi.

"Yugi, I need to talk to you. If you'll excuse us." He said, standing up as Yugi followed him. Naomi smiled and giggled as he glanced at her as the two passed.

'He's suspicious.' She thought.

"What's so funny Naomi?" Mokuba asked.

"Oh I just remembered something." Naomi said, as she began to tell a joke.

"So what's up Yami?" Yugi asked his other counterpart. Yami's eyes hardened.

"Did you look at Naomi's aura?" Yami asked Yugi cocked his head.

"Her aura?" Yami nodded. "What about it?"

"She has no aura." Yami answered for him. Yugi sighed.

"Well I don't sense anything negative about her." Yugi muttered. Yami sighed.

"I guess you're right." Yami agreed. The two then walked back to the cherry blossom tree.

"Welcome back." Anzu greeted.

"Thanks." Yami said.

"Thank you." Yugi replied. The two sat back down as Naomi glanced at the slight blush on Yami's cheeks. She smirked.

'Interesting.' She thought.
