NOTE:
This is a really short first chapter. I'll try to write longer chapters once things start to pick up in the story .w.
It was a normal, sunny day in Satellite. Martha was getting ready to go do her monthly shopping. She had to buy enough for all the kids in the orphanage, plus herself, so she went once a month to stock up on anything they might need.
"Now kids, I want you to play nicely while I'm out doing the shopping, alright?"
"Yes, Martha!"
She smiled warmly at the enthusiastic children, then, she turned to two of her oldest boys: Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas: ages 12 and 13.
"Now Yusei, Jack, I'm leaving you two in charge while I'm gone. Is that alright with you?"
Yusei, being the responsible young man he was, spoke up.
"Yes, Martha. We'll make sure everyone's alri—"
Jack butted in before Yusei could finish his sentence.
"Don't worry about it at all, Martha! Jack Atlas will take care of this! If anyone steps out of line, they're gonna get a taste of my power!"
Martha chuckled at him.
"My, my, Jack, I've never seen you so enthusiastic before!"
Jack smirked and struck a heroic pose.
"Of course! A future King has to watch over his subjects and keep them in check!"
She chuckled again and turned to the other children once more.
"Alright, children, I've got to go now before it gets any later. Be good everyone!"
She leaned down and whispered in Yusei's ear.
"And Yusei, make sure Jack doesn't do anything reckless, you hear?"
Yusei smiled reassuringly at her.
"Don't worry Martha, we'll handle things here."
"I hope so. Oh, don't forget to take your medicine if I'm not back to give it to you. You know what happens when you don't take it."
Yusei looked away slightly, but smiled reassuringly, wiping away his former expression.
"I won't forget. You worry too much, Martha."
She stood up and started to make her way out the door.
"Alright, children, I'm off! Be good for Yusei and Jack while I'm gone!"
The kids resounded with a simultaneous "Okay!" as Martha left out the door.
End Chapter 1.
