Patching things up. Inko and Emma.

[Mysterdio]

Inko waved to her daughter as Hana pulled up. The shy-gal got excited when she unexpectedly saw her surrogate aunt standing with her mother and saying hello. Hana got out of the car and hugged Emma. "Hiiiii!" Inko gave a warm smile as she saw that her daughter greatly enjoyed Emma's company. "Hana's just dropping in before she's headed to stay at AJ's for the night." Hana nodded intently as she was glad to see her mother and Emma having seemingly resolved things. "I'm just coming home to grab some stuff."

It was then that Inko had an idea to make her little girl happy and solidify her new friendship with Emma. "Say, Emma. It'd be a treat if you'd come over for a while!" Hana then perked up at this and got even more excited. "Will you come with us?!"

[TheRacker]

Ohhh, you're going to the AJ! Emma smiled after hearing that they're still friends or maybe something more. I'm really glad to hear that. Emma followed as she become completely relaxed now. Seeing Inko and Hana being themselfs, she could be sure that no there aren't any bad intentions involved.

It's true Emma wanted to get some more training, but she'll have to postpone it. She can't miss this new friendship and she can always practice some other time. Sure, why not! She smiled. Do you plan to go now or after Hana return from AJ?

[Mysterdio]

Hana rubbed the back of her head nervously with a blush. "Y-yeah we're hanging out tonight..." Inko put her hands to her hips and looked over her daughter's shoulder before looking right at Emma. "Yes a farmgirl. Quite the character isn't she? I'm sure that lucky girl will be quite the daughter-in-law someday." Inko joked before she clasped her hands at Emma's acceptance. "Oh that's lovely! I'll be sure to prepare the best tea I can! We're going now. Hana's just stopping by since she's staying the night at AJ's."

Hana looked innocently happy as always as she jumped into Emma's arms for a hug once more. "Yay! I'm so happy you're coming over, auntie Emma!" Hana yelled happily as Inko chuckled and looked to Emma questioningly. "'Auntie' Emma?"

[TheRacker]

Emma quickly picked up the blush and decided not to prod any further. She was really happy for Hana, but felt like more discussion like that would only bring some more embarasement. She just embraced the hug and giggled at Inko's remark Hey, i forgave you, but we're not sisters yet! Emma smiled and continued. We did some practice in the gym and really understood eachother - kinda like aunt-niece releationship

I came with my own car, so i'll meet you at your apartment. I still know where it is. Emma smirked as the memories of her being left naked appeared in her mind. She waved and began walking toward her car See you soon!

[Mysterdio]

Hana held on tight as her mother conversed with Emma. Inko crossed her arms and nodded with a smile. "Fair enough, pal." Before letting Emma continue to tell about her spar with Hana. "She does that a lot you know. Not a blood aunt in sight but she's fond of collecting them!" Inko laughed heartily as Hana blushed more. "See you there!" Inko and Hana waved as they drove off.

[TheRacker]

Emma hoped into her car and drove toward Inko's apartment. It wasn't a long drive and she was also pretty sure that she got in there first. Still, Emma decided to enter the building and moved to the apartment. She rang a bell and as she thought, there was noone in there yet.

Emma didn't need to wait long though. Couple of minutes and she already saw Inko and Hana approaching her from down the hall. Hey you two! she smiled and waved.

[Mysterdio]

Inko and Hana drove off and soon arrived at their apartment building, noticing Emma's car already outside. The mother and daughter duo walked up to greet Emma as she waved. "Come on in! I'll put on the nicest tea you'll ever have!" Inko invited as she and her daughter entered their home. "I'll just grab something from the kitchen since I'm gonna be late!" Hana said as she sped around. "So, Emma. Would you like anything to eat as well?" Inko asked as she pulled out a chair for her new friend.

[TheRacker]

Emma smiled and followed Hana and Inko into their apartment. She took off her shoes and coat before entering the apartment and taking a seat by the table. Thank you, but only tea will be fine. No need to stress out with the food. I'm not hungry anyway. Emma stayed still as she sit down at the table and looked at Inko being busy in the kitchen.

After a bit she finally shift her attention to Hana. So, how long are you staying with us before going to the AJ?

[Mysterdio]

The Tanaka's each scurried about their home as their guest sat down at the table. Inko heated up the kettle as she was relieved to not prepare a whole meal so suddenly. "I guess not everyone has the same appetite as me. I wish I was still in my youth like you, Emma. So much energy!" Inko said in a compliment before she continued making her guest tea.

Hana rushed around packing some stuff as she got ready for the sleepover with a crush. "'You have to try my mother's cooking sometime, auntie Emma! You'll love it!" Hana said as she sat down at the table. "Not too long but I've got a few minutes to spare." Hana replied with an innocent grin.

[TheRacker]

Oh don't worry, i'll definitely try it one day. I'm just not hungry today hun. Emma smiled as she saw Hana's excitment. I'm sorry Inko, but i have to ask. Emma followed. She was pondering whether she should bring this up or remain silent, but she got too curious at the end. What was the reason for sudden change? Don't get me wrong, i really love our friendship and prefer it over the rivalry, but what changed? Emma said as she leaned back on the chair and looked at the host.
