Miko's POV

    Okay, It's Saturday today. time to get serious, time to train before the competition starts........

    I went to the park to start training with my dog Spirit. I use my bokken sword to train alone with spirit. I look at my pocket-watch.

    "It's 5:30 am. I think we just came here to early right, boy?" I said as I put my pocket watch on my pocket. My dog nodded at me and he started to transform himself into the yoki spirit.

    Actually I forgot to tell you about my dog. His an half yoki and half dog and he could talk when his a yoki form.

   "Ready miko" my dog said as his claws appeared from his paw. I nodded at him and I raise my bokken sword and start attacking.

This could be a long day.......

Ember's POV

    I went to the park at 6:00 am and it's saturday. Since there's no class, I could walk to the park. Before I enter the gate, I heard a clashing coming from the park.

   I ran as soon as possible and saw miko got beaten up by a creature. I shocked and ran over her.

    "Miko are you alright?!" I shouted with full of worried. She got surprise and confused about it.

     "Ember, what are you doing?" she asked and I hugged her with full of protection.

   "You'll get killed!!!" I told her and she realized it and started to burst out of laughter. I look at her with a dumbfounded face.

    "Ember, I'm just here to train with my dog." she said wiping her happy tear at her eye. She pointed that creature. I looked at her confused then looked back at the creature that she's pointing at it.

    "Actually, That's my dog Spirit" she answered. I was speechless, that creature is her dog?!

   "Sorry about you friend you do care for her" Spirit said with a boyish voice. Wait? he could talked too?! I was confused about it, until I realized that I'm still hugging her. I pushed her away and I blushed with a embarassment and I look away.

OMG!!! This is so embarrassing!!!!

   I turn my head at her widen eyes and her cheeks were pinkish.

   "D-don't w-worry no one saw us, right?" she said nervously and she told spirit that he need to change himself into normal dog and he agree with it. I sighed of relief and seated down on the grass

"So miko"

"Yeah?" she repsond.

   "What are you doing here with Spirit?" I asked. she close her eyes and lay down on the grassy field.

   "Training of course" she answered, still closing her eyes.

     I looked at the sunrise and I could feel the wind blowing to my skin and I stared at her. She opened her one eye and looked at me, confused.

   "What are you looking at me" she asked. I shook my head meaning 'nothing'

   "Hey umm...." She trailed off as she still blushing from the momment ago.

   I sighed and lay down my head on her chest like a pillow. I could her heart beats faster than ever.

   "Hey Ember, can I tell you a story about I met your parents when they're teen like you." She asked while she's scratching my hair softly.

    "Sure miko" I answered and she started to tell a story.

Miko's POV

    I told her about her parents how they met each other and how I becoming their best friends. well, It's because I helped them to meet and hook up each other and they thank me at the same time after 20 years.

    After the story are over, I saw ember was asleep. Then I smiled and rub her head. I looked at my pocketwatch and its 1:00 pm.

    Whoa! How long we been staying here?

I carried her like a bridal style.

    "Come on Spirit. time to take her home" I said while my dog was grabbing my bokken case and carried it.

    I went to Ember's house and her house, It's like a mansion. well this place never change a bit. I smiled a bit and went to the mansion gate. I open the gate, but unfortunately, it's locked. I sighed like I have no choice. I flew myself over the main gate mansion and land it on the ground. I look at my dog doing the same thing like I did.

    As I walked to the garden I saw sophie and her butler. They spotted me with a surprise and I smile.

    "Miko, it's that you" She said knowing if she's dreaming or not. I nodded meaning yes.

    "Sophie, I need to put your daughter on her room" I told her and she gladly agree.  Before I could enter the living room and go to her the room, I looked at Sophie and I smiled and she smiled back.

    "It's been twenty years since we last saw you" she said.

   "I know" I answered while I'm still carried her, I pasted by the living room and enter her room.

    When I open the door, I was amazed, she has a queen size bed next to her closet with curtains on, She has a window bed and last her study table next to the bookshelf and include her private bathroom. I was surprised and shook my head.

    I put her at the bed softly and put the blanket on it. I smiled and kiss her forehead and walk to the door and close gently. I sighed of relief and thought about.

I hope she'll not waking herself up.....

    "I think you like my daughter, miko" a familiar voice came out of nowhere. I turn around and saw Henry, surprised.

"Shut up, Henry" I said and blushed myself and he chuckled.

    "Henry, how do you know I was here?" I asked curiously and he smiled at me.

     "My wife told me that your here, miko" he answered.

      "Oh" I said with a dumbfounded face and he chuckled again. "Do you want some milk tea I hope if you don't mind" he asked and I nodded at him as I went to the living room and sat on the sofa beside of my dog.

    "Anyways, we heard you that you'll join the swordmen contest, right?" he said while drinking his tea.

     "Yeah" I said while staring at my tea and see my reflection. But I feel worried and I sighed. Henry looked at me with a curious face.

     "What's the matter, Miko?" He asked as he put his tea cup on the table and I said to him......

      "Henry, I feel worried that she might get killed by the phantoms or the demons. While I'm in the tournament."

    "I know" he answered and sighed after our conversation done. I was  going home now, until then henry stopped me by grabbing my arm.

    "Maybe you should stay here" I answered and I sighed but with a small smile.

     "Alright I'll stay" I answered and I looked at spirit with a sad expression. "Don't worry, I'll send you back to my house with a portal" I said and started to open the portal.

      I told my dog that I'll come back tomorrow and he nodded as he carried my bokken and enter the portal and it disappeared.

    "So did you have clothes with you?" He asked while getting the tea cup and putted on the sink.

    "Yup I have my clothes at my bag" I answered. Actually, I'm using my extra clothes from my training this morning.

    "good" he said and we heard foot steps from the stairs and saw ember who's now awake.

    "Miko? how do we get here?" she said curiously and rubbing her beautiful eyes. Henry and I looked each other and chuckled a bit.

    "Ember, your friend here is gonna stay here for a while" He answered and I saw her eyes widen as she's surprised about it. "Really?" she asked and I nodded at her with a smile.

I hope she'll don't mind......

Ember's POV

    "Really?" I asked and she nodded at me with a smile meaning 'yes'. I was surprised for the first time, I didn't have a sleepover with her, here in our house.

    "I hope if you don't mind, honey" He said with a smile.

    "Okey then" I answered and blushed with my embarassment 'cause my dad called me honey. I heard miko chuckled a little.

    "Everyone It's time to eat now" I heard my mom called us. "Were coming Sophie" My friend reply and she holding my hand.

    "Come one, let's eat" she grinned and I nodded with a smile as we went to the dinner table and start eating our meal.

Miko's POV

    After the dinner was over, I helped Sophie to clean the dishes while I'm cleaning the table after I'm done.

   "Thank you for your help, Miko" she said with a smile and I smiled back. I asked Sophie where's Henry going to. I was curious though, but she told me that he went to the business trip until he'll come back next week.

   I went to Ember's room and when I open it, I saw ember now wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts for sleep. I could see her that she's doing a homework.

   "Hey miko, did you already finished helping my mom?" She asked as she finished her homework. I nodded and lay down on the bed.

    She lay down on the bed next to me. She look at me and I look at her with a curious face.

    "What?" I asked her and she giggled a little.

   "Nothing..." She answered and yawns herself. Before I could say goodnight to her, she was already sleep and hugging me again.

    I smiled and as I fall asleep beside with her......

She's like my sister to me.....

    I hope I could find my brother and we'll be reunited soon.....
