Mika silently walked down a hall with headphones on. They were in her pocket since she had shown up in Mar. Funny thing was that it never seemed to stop playing and she had it turned on for a couple of days. Personally she thought it was a special arm, but she could be wrong.

"Mika!" Peta yelled as he spotted her down the hallway. She stopped walking so he could catch up and she wouldn't end up getting lectured, because of it.

"Why didn't you show up at your training?" Peta questioned.

Mika sighed, "I didn't feel like going. Besides I wanted to find a way to go outside, but apparently everything is trying to keep me inside."

"It's because your not allowed to leave the castle. Phantom will not be happy once he hears that you are trying to leave and that you skipped your training." Peta stated with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"What are you my babysitter?" Mika asked taking off the headphones and putting them back into pocket.

"I'm not your babysitter I'm you guardian." Peta sighed as he rubbed his temples.

"No, my guardian arm is Al-kun." Mika smiled as she touched her necklace that had an angel charm dangling from it.

"Why do you keep calling it Al-kun?" Peta wondered out loud.

"I don't know I just do. It's just a name that I really like." Mika stated walking down the hallway once again.

"I wasn't done talking to you!" barked Peta.

"But I'm done talking to you!" She yelled back going into a light jog so he wouldn't catch her. She wasn't watching were she was going and ran into someone. She apologized quickly knowing that she had to be careful around the Chess Pieces. She looked up to see Phantom standing in front of her. Unknowingly she let out a sigh that she didn't even know she was holding in.

"Shouldn't you be training?" Phantom asked with a slight smile.

"But I wanna go outside today." Mika complained.

"We already had this conversation. Just do what I tell you." He said walking past her.

Mika turned around to look at his back pouting, "then let me join the Chess Pieces."

"Your not ready for that. Especially if your skipping your training." Phantom stated glancing toward Peta, who was just walking toward them.

"I don't need anymore training though. I want to be out there in the War games." Mika complained as she suddenly clung on to his arm.

"The War games haven't even started." Phantom said glancing at her clingy form.

"Aren't they going to start soon though? I heard that they were going to start in a couple of weeks." Mika stated letting go of his arm as she sat down on the floor.

"And exactly how did you figure that out?" Phantom curiously asked.

"When you guys had a meeting about it I overheard that it was going to start." Mika said as she clasped a hand over her mouth knowing that she probably shouldn't have said that.

Phantom smirked, "You mean you were eavesdropping."

"That's because I know your always going to say that I'm not ready to join. How can I prove to you that I am ready?" Mika asked standing up.

Phantom grinned, "If you manage to survive on your own out there in Mar Heaven until the War games start and you manage to get to the destination that the War games will be held then I might let you join the Chess Pieces. Oh and if I do let you join the Chess Pieces you must pass the test that everyone else must pass to join."

"I'll do it!" Mika happily stated.

"Go get your stuff. You shall leave soon." Phantom ordered.

Mika ran to her room to go get her stuff leaving Phantom and Peta behind.

"What was that about?" Peta questioned as they both walked down the hallway.

"It's to teach her a lesson the hard way. She shouldn't be skipping training much less eavesdropping on the classified plans of the Chess Pieces." Phantom calmly sated.

"How is this going to teach her a lesson? Your just sending her away for a while then your just going to let her join." Peta wondered.

"It will not be as easy as it sounds. She will have to work hard, very hard. As well as win a couple of matches. Then if she manages to beat one of them. I'll let her join." Phantom smirked.

"You never cease to amuse me." Peta said as they both waled into the library.

Mika happily packed everything that she needed into a small pack that wouldn't be to hard to carry and fight with whenever she got into trouble.

As she was going to grab a couple of books to read whenever she got bored a fairy with spiked blue hair sat on her hand. He was wearing brown shorts and a blue shirt.

"Mika, what are you doing?" He questioned as he got in a comfortable position on her hand.

She shook her hand and made the fairy sit on the desk in her room as she grabbed the books that she wanted as she answered, "I'm finally going to be able to leave the castle so I'm packing my things that I'm going to need."

"Yay! I'll be able to show you around Mar." He stated excitedly as he flew over to sit on her shoulder.

"Yes, Phonse, you will be able to show me around, but I also need to train." Mika said zipping up her pack.

"Training is boring though! Isn't that why you skip your training? Like you are doing now?" Phonse asked.

"That's only cause we do the same thing everyday!" Mika complained walking out of her room with Phonse sitting comfortably on her shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell Peat that? Or Phantom? I'm sure if you told him he'd change it." Phonse suggested getting off of her shoulder and flying ahead of her.

Mika frowned, "I did. They just either don't listen or think that I'm not ready for anything harder at not yet."

Peta walked up to the both of them before Phonse could respond. Peta gave Phonse a glance before he put his attention on Mika.

"Are you ready to leave?" Peta asked uncaring.

Mika smiled, "Yup, I'm ready. Where is Phantom?"

Peta lead her to the entrance of the castle as he replied, "He has some important business to take care of but he wishes you good luck and for you to tell no one of the Chess Pieces."

Phonse sat on her head as she walked toward the entrance with a big smile on her face. "Of course I wont tell anyone about the Chess Pieces. I'm not that big of an idiot." She stated.

"You do know that you just called yourself an idiot?" Phonse smirked.

"Shut up!" Mika yelled as they walked out fo the castle and into the forest leaving behind an annoyed Peta.
