Prologue 13 (Part 2) The Last Night At Jhoklon and Another Conflict.

Kazu went back home, returning her thoughts to her schemes to make money, hoping they would work. The young Pixie reached home and knocked on the door, her hands full but even though she heard noises inside, no one answered so she had to drop the food, then hold the door with her shoulder before walking sideways in. When she went to the kitchen and placed the food on the counter that was crowned with the tray which held plates, she heard, “SURPRISE,” and she turned around to see Mako Nini holding something in a gift box.

Her aunt noticed the flash of anger in her face but said nothing about it.

“You did not open the door.”

Her aunty knew it was more than that so she acted as if she did not know. “I was holding your gift and I couldn’t ruin the surprise.”

Kazu Nini took a deep breath. “Where did you get the money from?”

Mako didn’t understand. “Are you worried about my spending?” She was completely lost.

“I am worried about your spending on *me*.”
