Chapter 4
____________________________________________________________________________________________
"How long have people been calling you a witch?" Asked Raphael taking a spoonfull of his
ice-cream. Michael had some interest in this new found mission. Raphael was acting gay,
proabably because he wanted score before he went back to heaven, either way, he was
playing a good role.
"Since I went to Tokyo High School."
"Why?"
"Everyone I seem to care about dies. Family, friends, foster parents in paticular." Mitsukai jabbed
her ice cream to emphasis on her words.
"Is that how you got your manners?" Michael asked. Mitsukai didn't get angry this time.
"I guess so. Speaking of which, you guys shouldn't get to close," she added. Raphael smiled
and darted his hand on top of hers.
"We won't die soon." Mitsukai gave him a look of disatisfaction and pulled her hand away. Michael
started laughing at this gesture.
"Oi, Raphael. She doesn't seem to be interested in you!" Raphael gave him a nasty look saying
don't-ruin-the-chances-I've-got.
"Mika-chan........." Mitsukai said keeping her gaze on him.
"Don't call me that!"
".........How do you think they would understand that I'm not a witch?" Michael gave her a
suprised look.
"Why are you asking me?"
"Well, you suggested it." He smiled and held his chin, examining her.
"Well your hair makes you look like one. Long and black. You could go gothic."
"Hey!"
"And those dorky glasses you have make your head look tiny."
"Nani?!"
"And you should get out of your school uniform more often, you look like a nun."
"Arrrrgggghhh," Mitsukai seemed to be trying to keep her temper. Raphael quickly saw this and
protested.
"Mika-chan, you shouldn't be harsh on her. If she likes the way she looks then let it be."
"Don't call me Mika-chan!" Michael was about to throw a punch at him when Raphael put his
ice cream bowl on his face first.
"Arrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh!" Michael yelled and started to pout. Mitsukai giggled at him and
set her spoon down. They both looked over at her.
"Michael is that really the way you think of me?" Michael straightened his position and placed
his hands on hs hips.
"Hai." The table was quiet for a while until Mitsukai stood up.
"I've got to get going. Mrs.Takai is probably worried about me anyway." Quickly she stood up
from the table and left the ice cream parlor, starting for home.

Once Mitsukai got home, she quickly went for her room, avoiding contact with Futoji or any
other of the Takai's.
She sat her bag down and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was coming out of her pony
tail and Michael was right. Her glasses did make her head look small.
"Can I come in?" It was Futoji.
"Hai." Futoji walked in and closed the door behind him.
"Nani?" Mitsukai asked.
"Gomen-nasai. I should have stood up for you back there. If you want me to make it up to you,
we could go out to see a movie or something." Futoji sat down when he recieved a surprised
look from Mitsukai. She smiled tenderly.
"Arigatou Futoji, but maybe you could come with me somewhere else." Futoji met her gaze
again.
"Like where?" He asked.
"The barbor."
