Mika slowly opened her eyes, turning shadows into figures, then to strangers. The last thing she remembered was falling unconscious when drowning herself.
She smiled to herself as she saw the strangers staring at her with a curious, yet kind countenances. This made her smile immediately turn into a frown.
"Why am I in heaven?" Mika mumbled to the figures, as she looked at them, "I don't belong here…"
The people in the room stared at her. They were not sure of how to react to the words that just left her mouth, but one of the two women holding a medic kit, gave a good hearted laugh, breaking the tension in the room.
"You're not in heaven dear," she stated, looking at Mika, "you're on earth, baka!" She paused for a moment to look at Mika's crestfallen face, and then continued. "That man over there saved you!" The woman said, pointing to a man.
The man had fiery red hair and a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek. His facial features were quite odd, considering they were masculine, yet feminine features to them. The man was sporting a purple, yet pink traditional male kimono.
She did not like this man at the moment, for he had saved her from her only wish in life; death. She snarled at him, while he looked back at her completely unfazed, smiling.
Mika knew one thing; this man was expecting answers, and ones she didn't want to give any. As she glared, and he smiled, the rest sweat dropped.
The doctor lady took this as a good time to step in. "Well, since we helped you and all," she started, making Mika sweat drop.
They really hadn't helped her at all. If anything, they had done quite the opposite.
"…It would be nice to know your name…" She trailed off, while Mika gave her an odd look.
It really wasn't a good thing to go deep in thought while people were talking to her.
Once she had processed what the woman had just said, she blinked, and then started apologizing profusely.
"Oh!" Mika said, catching on. "I'm so sorry for being so disrespectful." She said while bowing repeatedly. "My name is Mika, Mika Shinkyo…."
Mika mentally smacked herself, for letting her old habits kick in. She sounded idiotic, weak, and like trash, which she believed she was.
The people in the room found the pause time in which Mika was scolding herself a great time to introduce themselves, starting with the doctor.
