-Chapter Six-
{Season Begins}
Tekla made her second debut in 2017 World JR Figure Skating Champions held in Taipei, Taiwan in Ladies signals. She was one of three jr ranked skaters that ISU allowed to enter this year's competition. Wearing a Team Russia jacket that matched one Victor was known to wear over her torso. Rest that made up her outfit was a mini red skirt that zipped up in the front and thigh length socks. Her hair was pinned in into a neatly bun done by Victor as she walked around in knee length boots. Duffle bag that held her gear was a Pokemon Center original Lillie Drum bag on her shoulders. She wasn't alone this time, since right beside her was Victor only acting as a couch. Victor wore his signature 3-piece suit and one of his trench coats with his hair styled and gloves on. While carrying around his Makkachin klneex plushie the whole time he was beside her.
Two of them shared a hotel room with separate beds in what ever hotel the World JR FSC was using. Being roommates with her Nana was quite welcoming for a girl still learning about figure skating. He gave her helpful advice about how to store/handle her skate costumes to cleaning her skates. Established rules on bathroom and room usage were placed down beside a curfew. This curfew had her returning to their room from practice, or when she went out with fellow skaters. They only left the room when they going to the venue that held the competition. Either for the scheduled practice for the Lady Singles category was given. When Tekla's chance on the rink for Short Program and Free-Skate took place was scheduled. Victor helped her improve on areas of her routines where she was weakest. To explore the host city that skating competition was taking place in most nights. Stepping into some restaurants and ordering from street food venders along the way. Victor took pictures after picture of Tekla and him self at many local landmarks.
Actually performance during her Short Program and Free-Skate came allot easier for her, then her 1st time around. Having her one of her parents standing right at the barrier she would pass between axel spins or rotations. Somehow soothed those fluttering butterfly that been in her stomach. Gave her a boost each time she leapt off the ice with one foot or did a backwards landing. Showed when she lands and went into a step sequence that would mean the end of her routines. Each time she would straight out her posture with her legs crossed and torso slightly turned. She took the stance of either a Sailor Senshi of Love and Beauty or Flame and Passion with a practice smile. Leaving the crowds of people would come to learn she was more then Victor Nikiforov's adopted daughter. Earning her first ever nicknames among fans from Japan and Russia. Yuuki-Onna means 'Snow women' in Japanese or Chistyy belyy tsvet means 'snow white' in Russian.
Ended with her crying when Gold Medal was place on her
Her exhibition skate among fellow Gold Medalists was one that was a surprise to Victor and everyone else. Announcer says that she was dedicating this piece to someone(s) who couldn't be here, and aspiring crush. Before she could remove her skate guards or Team Russia jacket and get on the ice. Victor noticed her skate outfit reflected one of her favorite characters from a popular anime. Her skate dress was of the fuku down to the last detail from either a bak or front view. Other features of her attire when her coat came off would be to Victor's eyes as he took her coat. He assures her everything was going to be alright with a gentle hug and saying how proud he was. She would have been allowed to press her head into his chest and be enveloped by his warmth. If she didn't have to skate on the ice with a soft spot light on her as a song began. All Victor could do was watching her move like many others in the bleachers above him.

Arriving home with Victor during a late night flight when in tired state didn't stop Tekla from hugging Victor. Despite the lack of sleep Victor got, he would hug her back while congratulating her. Angle in which he stood to embrace his daughter allowed him to see in the passenger waiting section. Sitting near the row of seats facing the glass divider was disheveled Yuuri with the dogs. Left Victor to go into shock at the sight that he would point out to Tekla, by turning her around.
"Papa!"
"Yuuri!"
Were the one of many terms that were used to call to an inpatient Yuuri by his fiancé and his daughter. Makkachin and Meiryard were the ones that raised their heads in reaction to the voices of their owners. This was where Yuuri started to cry out of excitement of seeing Victor and Tekla walking toward him. He was up on his feet with the dogs following his quickening pace to meet them. Tears being shed when he followed them to the where the divider ended to entrance/exit way. Victor would end up end up comforting Yuuri as he agreed with him on their daughter's accomplishment. Earned pats on Tekla's head for what she went through from the both of them. Before she huffs with her cheeks puffed out and eyes peered downward. Trying her best to not be effected by an already crying Yuuri and sight of Victor's wiping his tears away.
"Can we go home?" Tekla asked when tears threaten to spill from her own eyes.
"Anytime." Victor would wrap one arm around her.
Victor then pulled her sandwiched between him and Yuuri for form a group hugs as he pulled his phone out. In each picture that Victor took of the three of them so closely huddled together with arms interlocking. Yuuri and Tekla in most of these pictures were them smiling through their tears of joy. Victor ended up wedging him self some how with his heart shaped smile as held the two. Ended with them needing to go to claim bags and they had to go through security check points before being allowed out. Whole time they talked about what plans Yuuri and Victor had for the up coming 2017 SR World Figure Skating Champions. Both hadn't skipped a practice session once since Tekla was away from them. Stating the goal was for Yuuri to finally get that Gold Medal with plans for a wedding. Tekla asked what type of wedding they were planning to have, and where honey noon would be. Smirk that danced across Victor's lips ad Yuuri blushed a new shade of crimson had her wondering.
"Better be Japan." She wanted to go back to the inn.
Yuuri just wrapped an arm around his daughter's waist saying when that time comes for them. She wouldn't be left home to house sit or put up with Yurio whenever they officially become a family. She would be brought with them as their flower girl or ring barer for that special moment. Allowed to be apart of their celebration since she and her brother were apart of their family. This had the wheels in her head turning to a few ideas she could use for their special day. Left her unable to listen to Victor inform Yuuri about a video recording he has of Tekla doing her exhibition skate.

{Let Adventure Begin}
During Victor's and Yuuri's on going preparations for the 2017 SR World Figure Skating Champions in a few days. Tekla sunk back in to her normal life as a teenager involved in the figure skating community. Despite an argument or two she would have with Yurio when attending their practices. She could be found walking Makkachin and Meiryard every morning and evening after chores. Along with visiting the tailor shop run by Zinoviy with secret requests he filled (Victor still was never told about). From time to time she would facetime or skype her brother at night. Whole time she ignored the internets newest obsession with her on all social media sites. Mean time she spent in the company of someone on vacation to St. Petersburg with one of his uncles.
"How many relatives do your have?" Tekla couldn't believe Riesgraf.
"Three uncles, one aunt, and in-law on my father's side." Riesgraf counted them out. "My mom is an only child and only living heir of her lineage."
"Lucky!" Tekla taps her glass.
"Coming from the Yuuki-Onna of the ice." Riesgraf teased her.
He ended up getting a crumpled paper napkin thrown at him form across the table both of them occupied. They were around the corner from the hotel Riesgraf and his uncle was staying in. Sitting at some table in the corner area of a Russian café and eating some type of sweet together.
"Figure out where you're staying with season starting for your parents?" Riesgraf asked rather worried.
"Might go stay with my brother in Japan or take Zinoviy on his offer." She shrugged.
"You have brought this up with your….parents…?" Riesgraf thought she brought this up with Victor and Yuuri.
Had her ready to speak about subject of traveling with her parents during their skate competitions to Riesgraf. She was rudely reminded of who was meeting her here and picking her up for lunch. In the form of questionable Victor, who heard everything about Riesgraf said to Tekla just seconds ago.
"What's this about My Little Istoriya not being present with me and Yuuri?" Victor's question gave Riesgraf chills.
Tekla had to signal to Riesgraf's nanny that he didn't have to go into defensive mode upon watching the teen freeze up. Allowing a grinning Victor to sit before them as his eyes kept staring at them. Taking that seat as his removes his outer wear as he waved away a waiter away wanting an answer. Left Riesgraf at lost for words on what to say once in life as Tekla stuffed a bun in his mouth. Before she turned toward her father and stated how she was concerned with living arrangements.
"…once the season starts…I might go stay with our grandparents in Japan and practice with Yuki or stay with Mr. Smirnov." Tekla spoke in mumbles.
"Why would I and Yuuri not want Our Little Istoriya with us?" Victor asks tilting his head.
Tekla almost choked on her sips from her tea when Victor went on about being a neglectful father to leave his daughter. Saying Yuuri had been freaking out over abandoning Tekla during past days. He came to like her running beside him during his jogs that Victor usually didn't want to do. Teaching her Japanese in everyday conversations over a meal shared with everyone. Showing her a few staking tricks when she attended his or Victor practices as he soothed her tears. Were among many moments he (and Victor) started to miss as they ready themselves for the season. He and Yuuri wanted to share with newest part of their lives by having her come with them. Adding he read in some parenting book, about needing to stimulate a child's talent. Bringing her along would give her some real world connections and make friends with some friendly faces.
"Never knew your were loved." Riesgraf finally spoke. "I need to talk to my parents."
Tekla pats Riesgraf's hand as her form of good bye before agreeing to PM him on facebook or text. Before making an exit with Victor that had them discussing what they were doing to do about Yuuri. His current mood Left them to head straight to rink instead of home to resolve the issue. On borrowed skates, Tekla ambushed Yuuri when he in mid-warm up doing toe loops. By pulling a play out of Victor's book, by sneaking a backwards hug in between Yuuri's second and third toe loop. Pulling her form of waterworks as she said how truly blessed she's been with him and Victor. How she and her brother were leaving their dream world with their favorite idols (as their parents). That at any moment she was going to wake up and back in the orphanage all alone. Got her silenced by Yuuri, returning the hug by holding her so closely to his shirt clad torso. He could have suffocate her as he felt a weight be lifted off his chest from 1-sided chat.
"Can we agree to never talk like this again?" She sniffled as she spoke.
"As along as you stay our Little Istoriya." Yuuri used Victor's name for Tekla.
