Chapter 3
The next morning. Ei was sleep peacefully, enjoying her random dream until the touch in shoulder make her eyes opened. "Ei, wake up!"
Ei glanced lazily to the girl who called her, "Huh... what time is this?
"8 o'clock. And look, you got a letter." Miko handed the letter to Ei. The later seems unamazed.
"I found it on the front of your door." Miko added.
Ei get up and read the content of the letter, "Ah, this is not important."
Miko look at her suspiciously and took the letter to read it by herself. Her eyes widen in an instant, "What? You got suspension- wait not just that. Drop Out? You are going dropped out from school?? This is so FUCKING IMPORTANT!"
Looks like the boys who fight Ei the last time can't accept their lose and want to revenge by doing this. Ei yawns and lies on her futon,"It is okay. You should see the future that I am going dropped out from school, right?" She cover her body with blanket. Ready to sleep again.
"NO!" Miko shakes her head.
"I dont see that in the future and I dont want you to get dropped out from school, Ei wake up!" Miko pull off the blanket. She looks at Ei with worrying face.
Ei feels annoyed with Miko's over reaction,"Then, do you have an idea how to get through this?"
Miko showed the letter,"It is said that unless you bring your guardian to have a discuss with other parents, you might not got drop out. Your school want you to come school with your guardian right?"
She showed her gummy smile,"I will be your guardian."
Ei raised her eyebrow, "How?"
"I am gonna be your beautiful and gorgeous aunt for a day!"
Ei shocked. She almost forget that this girl is crazy. "Listen, you may be a year or two years older than me. But pretend as my aunt with your current appeareances?" Ei look at her disbelief,"dont you have better jokes?"
"A a a~" Miko placed her index finger to Ei's lips,"Dont you know the power of make up?"
"Mature make up and glamour clothes. Perfect combination to have a mature women look. Let's walk out to the shopping center!"
Somehow Miko finally able to make Ei go shopping with her. Ei never going out for shopping. She just prefer to buy it online since it is faster. But here she is, accompany the girl who she just met yesterday in shopping mall. Miko turns out like fashion very much. Countless times Miko asked about how she looks with the clothes. And it also countless time for Ei to keep answering 'good' just because she want to finish this shopping time as soon as possible. But it turns out make the older girl want to try other clothes.
"Ei~ how do I loo-" Miko paused when she realize Ei dissappeared.
"Ei?" Miko look around to find the japanese girl.
"Ah, Sorry ma'am." A staff greet at her and approached Miko.
"your friend told me that she need to go somewhere for a while. And while she was away, she want you to wait for her here."
Miko nods sit on the empty chair. She lose her mood to try other clothes. What's the point of trying new clothes tho if the girl you like doesn't see it?
"Oh, you done with trying clothes?" Finally Ei comes up after 15 minutes.
"Yeah, I think I will just bought this." Miko showed the basket filled with items that she has tried before .
Ei shocked, "Hold on! You dont need to buy all of this!"
Miko tilt her head, "Why? You said that I look pretty with all these things."
Ei gasped. She dont understand how her brain works. "What I mean is-"
"Wait, you are wounded?" Miko cuts in. Her hand reached Ei's temple. She saw some bruished in there.
"Ah, I just accidentally hit my head against the wall." Ei replied shortly.
"Back to topic, Pick one clothes. My money is not gonna enough to buy this."
Miko pouted. "Only one?"
Ei sighed, "Okay pick three then."
Miko smiled and picked 3 items. Which cost them almost 500.000 mora. Which means, Ei already wasted all the money she won from the horse race.

"where is that brat girl?" The women in red fur coat asked.
The meeting room in school were occupied by the parent of students. There are 3 mother in that room. They are the mothers of the students who fought with Ei last time. These parents want to meet her. They want her to be responsible of what she did to their sons. To make us easier, let's just call these people parent 1, parent 2, and parent 3.
"Calm down, miss. She must be on her way to school." Mr. Tougo answered.
"Huh, how dare she hurts my son. I am gonna make her pay for the rest of her life." parent 1 scoffed and crossed her arm.
The teacher kept mum. If only Ei apologized, ignoring her ego, this wouldn't be happened.
The door opened slowly, everyone turned their head to it.
"Oh Raiden Ei" Mr. Tougo smiles when she saw Ei behind the door.
"And you are..."
Miko smiles,"Hello. I am Ei's guardian. Raiden Miko."
Mr. Tougo and The other parents gulped looking at how gorgeous she is. Even Ei gulped (for the nth times). Mr. Tougo didnt know that Ei still has guardian since her status is an orphan. Well, it doesnt matter right now so he will not mind it too much.
Miko does look different with her outfit now. The grey coat, the black slingbag, and the white heels, all bought with Ei's precious money, looks so perfect on her.
She looks so mature, beautiful, gorgeus. What other words again to describe the woman besides her? Ei doesn't have enough vocabulary due to describe how stunning Miko right now.
"Ehem" Parent 2 cleared her throats.
"As you see.. my son has to be hospitalized because of her"
Miko sit in front of them and crossed her leg,"Because of Ei? and why Ei hit him, though?"
"That's not important-"
"That's important." Miko cuts in.
"If Ei's reason is not important then our conversation here is not important as well. What's the point of this meeting if you even didn't want to give a chance for some one to speaks up." Miko turned to Ei.
"Tell them." She stares straightly to Ei's eyes.
The situation got reversed. Miko easily controlled the atmoshpere in this room. Ei has told her who she gonna met and the reason why this meeting happened. And she didnt even once to look afraid.
"Tell them why you beat their son." Miko repeats her words.
Ei gulped,"....It is because they throwed my bag and hit me few times."
"LIES!" Parent 3 yelled at Ei.
"If they hit you then you must be hospitalized ! while you are looking so fine right now. It must be-"
"It must be Ei is way stronger than all 3 boys who wanted to beat her up." Miko replied nonchalantly.
Ei look at Miko mesmerizedly. She just realized by now that this woman is so good at arguing.
"Your kids are the one who ignite the fights. Your kids vs my kid. 3 vs 1. And your kids got lose. Dont you feel ashamed?"
"If you still insist to drop out Ei because of this ridicilous reason, I will report your kids to NGO who support the victim of bullying. I know not only Ei that become the victim of your sons."
All parents gulped. They can't remark her words.
Miko smirked, "Well, I think we can reached some conclusions. No Drop Out, No Apologize either. Well, the one who should apologize is your sons though but it is okay. I believe Ei already accepted their apologize, right?"
"What? No of course- aw!" Ei groans as her feet stomped by Miko. 'Her guardian' glares at Ei to make her shut up.
Mr. Tougo glanced to the parents. Looking at the situations, it seems safe to finish this meeting. "yes, you are right Miss Raiden. Ei, please come to school tomrrow."
Miko and Ei smiles to each other.

"thank you." Ei handed out a can of coke for Miko. Both of them at Ei's flat now after the meeting ended peacefully. Miko already switched her outfit to yellow pajamas which she bought with Ei before.
"You are welcome." Miko smiled and sip the coke.
"Woah, I feel so free right now~" She streched her arm and smiles happily.
Ei smiles and lean her chin to her arm, "Do you not feel that free before meet me?"
Miko nods,"You still remember the group that chase me yesterday? They are gangster . And I work for them."
"Work?" Ei creased her eyebrow , curious with the story.
"They know my ability. So they ordered me to foresee the changing of stock...And I will list which company will have most raising stock in short period of time, they will bulk buy stock with it. Same goes with the sports bet. That's why I know the fast way to get some money." Miko explained clearly.
Ei's eyes widened, "Oh, so you really can predict anything?"
"Hmmm.. how to explain it... " Miko tap the table quietly. Thinking how to arrange her words so that that Ei can understand about it.
"My foresee has limitation. There is time i can't foresee. But one thing for sure, the more I am with the object, the higher chance I can foresee it."
"...What do you mean by that?" Ei still doesn't understand.
"At first, I can't foresee the stock changing. Then, they ask me to monitor the trading web. Looking at those changing numbers day by day..And after three days, I can foresee it. Because it become the routine part of me. And I can see that the future me will do this- watching this web.. regularly."
Ei nods,"I see.. "
"No wonder they chase you again.." Ei mumbles to herself.
"What?" Miko narrowed her eyebrow.
"Eh? No- Then why you can foresee me eventhough we didn't even meet before?" Ei asked again to change the topic.
Miko shrugged,"I dont know. That thing just randomly flashed on my mind. And I just follow it with my instinct. To be honest I dont see you in my foresee except at our wedding scene. "
"Eh?" Ei blinked her eyes. "Then.. the thing that you said last night when we gonna sleep...."
"Which one?" Miko blinked her eyes. A second later, a wide smile formed on her face.
"Wait..That you gonna kiss me? Of course I was joking! There is no way a tsundere girl like you gonna kiss me easily." Miko laughed and sips her can.
"Or..did you really kiss me?" The woman smirked playfully.
"WHAT? OF COURSE NOT! YOU KNOW I WAS ASLEEP FASTER THAN YOU" Ei answered panickly.
"Woah woah, calm down girl~" Miko giggles. Ei with red face is adorable.
The purple haired girl then cleared her throat. She can feel her cheek getting red,"Then.. what about your time before you meet the gangster?"
"I mean- what happend to your family and such..." Ei added.
Miko bowed and playing with her finger. Thinking whether she should tell it completely or not. But then again, Ei gonna be her wife. Why should she avoid this topic?
"....Burned Down."
Ei strained to hear her clearly. "What?" she asked softly.
Miko took a deep breath before continuing, "My house burned down... and... and my parents they all died. I was the only one who survived."
Ei look at Miko's trembling hand. She can also feel the shaky voice of the fox.
"And then.... th-they..." Miko feels her throat like holding the words to spilled out. She starts to remember the momery that she absolutely do not want to remember it.
"Stop it." Ei give her the hug. The warmest hug that Miko feels since they first met.
"It is okay.. you dont need to continue it if you want." Ei pats her back softly.
Ei's words, Ei's embrace, Ei's little touch. All of them succesfully caused Miko to release all of her pent-up feelings. She hugs Ei tighter and cried softly in her arms.

Bonus Scene: Ei's 1st POV (this scene happened on ch. 2)
I look at the clock. It is already 1 AM, and my eyes still wide open. I turned at my side, to see the girl that sleep beside me. The so-called Miko.
You gonna kiss me.
'Huh, who wanna kiss her-'
I was freezed when I found her that she is asleep. I look at her closed eyes, tiny lips, pointed nose, long black hair. Everything is so perfect with her.
This is not the first time I sleep with other girl. I mean, I sleep with Sara few times but I never got mesmerized by her looks like this girl.
Holy shit. This girl might be weird but she is so damn beautiful.
My eyes then moved to her plump lips.
You gonna kiss me.
I gulped. What if her words become reality? I mean- she already proofed the her prediction is true during that horse race and maybe I indeed fated to kiss her?
My cheek blushed. I hit my head, cursing how pervert my mind right now. I almost forget I have said that's not gonna happened. This girl will mock her knowing that I broke my own words.
But then again, she is sleeping now. Even if I kiss her, she wouldn't know about it right?
I look at her lips again. The longer I look, the more tempting her lips to be kissed.
I move closer to her until I can feel her breath.
Then, slowly I pressed my lips to kiss her lips.
So warm and tender.
