My name is Akaza Aru. I go to Heartcross Academy along with my best friends Yuura, Sakie, Honoka and Mina. My parents past away on a car accident, so my neighbors took care of me all this years. I'm not angry they took me in to their home, but...

How I wish I could be living with her, Miyako Kougami, the city's most famous detective. She's my idol. I've never was a strong girl before, pretty responsible and caring with my friends, but never strong as a solo person. I remember like it was yesterday when Miyako rescue me.

It was a few years back. I remember I escaped from my neighbors home to stay at Yuura's. it was late and I was alone.

Suddenly, I was grabbed by a member of the Bite Gang. I was very afraid, all my muscles were shaking, I didn't struggle nor fight against him... I was very weak.

I remember how he put me on the floor. Tying me up and gagging me. He even took my shoes off. At that moment I was scared, scared that I might get killed by him.

Then, it began clear to me... maybe is for the best, I'm nothing in this world, I have nothing to achieve. Maybe is was best if he killed me, at least I might go to heaven and see my parents once again. Then I prepared myself for the worse...

"FREEZE!" a voice called, "Your under arrest for kidnapping!" she ordered.

A woman... no, an angel saved me. Miyako Kougami, the city's greatest detective. My eyes were amazed. She look strong and confident.

"Don't worry girl, your safe now." Miyako reassured with a smile.

I Was amazed. She look outstanding. She protected me even though I'm not related to her. Since then...

Since then I followed her, not as a stalker, but more like a fan. I want to be like her, independent, strong, with lots of courage. She accepted me as her pupil, but...

I might be lying. Sure I want to be like her, be a detective that helps people and be strong, but I'm lying on been her fan. Sure I love her work, but I feel that she might be not only my idol, but... who am I kidding, she won't take me. Maybe I should visit her and see if I can help her.

Before I made my way towards the door, the person who took me in called for me.

"Akaza! Where are you going?" an unseen person called.

"I'm going to visit Miyako-san, I might stay at her home today!" I replied.

"Akane, that's what we want to talk about..." the unseen person said.

"Sorry! Can't stay. Got to go. Bye!" I said as I quickly ran out of the house, "I can wait to see Miyako-san.'' I thought happily.

Unbeknownst to my knowledge, Miyako-san was there in my home at that time.

bzzzzttt...

Later that day, I arrived at the Mega-Tokyo Police Station, I look around for Miyako-san but she was nowhere to be found. Then I encountered Kyouka Shiohama and Chitose Suzuya in the hallways.

"Kyouka-san, Chitose-san." I greeted, "Have you seen Miyako-san? She's not at her office. Is she on duty?" I asked.

"Akaza..." Chitose muttered in surprise, "Aren't you suppose to..." she tried to say but was interrupted by Kyouka.

"AHHH!" Kyouka yelped, "Akaza-chan, thing is Miyako is doing some extra work now. Why don't you go home and..." she stated but also interrupted when Miyako-san arrived.

"Akaza... please come with me." Miyako ordered as she walks away.

I nodded, "Sure thing, Miyako-san." I replied before following her.

"Akaza doesn't know?" Chitose asked.

Kyouka shrugs, "Not a clue." she replied.

"How did Miyako got those papers and got their approval?" Chitose asked.

"Let's say I have connections. Been a reporter gets you free access to some things. And besides, Miyako deserves a second chance, after what happen to Kurumi, she deserves to be with Akaza." Kyouka explained.

Chitose nodded, "Yeah... it was tough on her." she said.

"Tell me about it, I'm her best friend. So it was the least I can do." Kyouka stated.

bzzzttt...

Later, Miyako-san and I arrived at her residence, when I noticed something odd.

"Uhmm, Miyako-san." I called.

"Yes?" Miyako replied.

"What are... why are my bags and stuff here?" I asked in confusion.

"Because you live here now." Miyako replied with a smile.

I was taken aback from what she just told me, I look back at her and she was giving me a comforting smile.

"I went to the adoption agency. I got help from Kyouka to get your papers. I adopted you, Akaza." Miyako explained.

I was in shock, Miyako-san... has adopted me... then that means... she's my mother now.

I felt the tears streaming down my face, "Miyako-san... I..." I swelled.

Miyako then pulls me into a warm embrace, "We are now living together." she said.

"Miyako-san..." I cried as I hug her tightly.

"That's Mom now, Akaza-chan." Miyako reminded.

"MOM! MOM! MOM!" I cried louder.

"There there, Akaza-chan! I'm here for you now. I will take good care of you for now on." Miyako reassures, "Don't cry, Akaza-chan..." she said, "If only ''she'' was here with us." Miyako thought.

bzzzttt...

(Present Timeline)

"And so... that's how Mom adopted me." Akaza said with a smile.

She is currently inside a restaurant alongside Miyako, King Forest, Hiroshi Nagayama and Yoshikama, the latter two wearing their disguises.

Yokoshima nodded, "I see... that was a great story, Aka-chan." he complimented.

Hiroshi crosses his arm, "My respect for her skyrocketed." he admitted with a smile.

King, on the other hand, was crying like a baby, "Miyako-mama! I am so touch for what you did for this girl! I'm so glad that you remained that you're still kind and caring woman that I met back on college! Oh, how I remember the times, you stood for me whenever those mean ol' bullies makes fun of me!" he cried loudly while smiling at the same time.

Miyako's face flustered in embarrassment, "King! I told you to stop calling me that! My goodness! You're in your thirties yet you're still a crybaby!" she chastised.

"Miyako-mama! Please adopt me too!" King cried.

"Stop pouting nonsense! You're embarrassing both us!" Miyako exclaimed as her face turns completely red.

Akaza, Hiroshi and Yokoshima burst out in laughter.

Sorry if the chapter is so short but I'm quite busy today. Might have a problem updating new chapters for the next few days but I'll try to keep it up.
