CHAPTER 4 THE DOUSIER AND THE PRINCESS
Mikomi almost choked on the cheeseburger she eating and quickly took a drink of her Pepsi to swallow the rest of the burger.
'Cough cough your not serious I hope" Mikomi cried.
'We're dead serious" Ren said and June slowly put her hand on Mikomi's shoulder.
'You must understand we've searching for you for so long and we" June said and Mikomi knocked her hand off of her shoulder.
'I not a Princess" Mikomi snapped, 'My name is Mikomi not this Tenchi on Kenshin we're leaving"
'Miss Mikomi" Kenshin said and followed close behind/
'Who's the tall red head samurai dude?" Jango asked.
'My guardian ghost Kenshin" Mikomi said and smiled.
'Since when did you have a guardian ghost?" Ren snapped.
'Since me and Kenshin agreed to it on the drive here" Mikomi said and showed them the eagle necklace with the colored beads around her neck. 'I'll use this a Totem..or whatever you call it. Come on Kenshin let's go home boy will dad be surprised when I tell him I brought a ghost home"
Before anyone could stop she was out the door and down the street, Mikomi stopped a block away to catch her breath. Those people must be insain to think she could be a princess and even more insane to think she was someone else's daughter other then her own fathers.
'Miss Mikomi?" Kenshin asked, 'Are you feeling alright maybe we should get a drive home"
'Nah I can walk" Mikomi said and started to cross the street, 'And besides I don't wont a drive from any of them"
'By saying them" Kenshin said, 'I can only guess to whom you are referring you"
Slowly as they walked about ten minutes later Mikomi felt something wet on her face. Looking up she suddenly found it raining very hard. Running under a bus booth for cover she hugged herself for warmth.
'You cannot walk in the rain Miss Mikomi" Kenshins said, 'You shall become ill that you will"
'A choo" Mikomi said and sneezed, 'Excuse me, I know but who would give us a ride at this time of the night"
Suddenly Kenshin looked behind them and noticed the lights on in the small building behind them.
'Miss Mikomi" Kenshin said and shook her shoulder, 'Look maybe you can use uh those uh teletony things in there"
'It's telephone Kenshin" Mikomi smiled, 'And I guess we can ask"
Slowly she walked up the door and knocked on it, as she waited for an answer she read what was on the door.
'Dousier PI" She said.
'What is a PI?" Kenshin asked.
'It's short for Private Detective it's someone who solves crimes for people who pay him" Mikomi said and knocked again only to find the door swing open on it's own.
'Uh hello?"
Looking inside she couldn't see anyone, she could see an office like placement with a large desk filled with papers, picture frames and other items which interested Mikomi into walking towards it and picking up a magnifying glass and looking through it with an aw. She could also see a pair of stairs which probably lead upstairs.
'Wow this is cool" She laughed.
'Miss Mikomi there is no one here we should try somewhere else" Kenshin said.
'HELLO?" Mikomi called putting the magnifying glass down and suddenly she noticed a tiny pink pixie like creature floating over the staircase looking at her.
'It's a spirit" Kenshin said, 'A pixie spirit"
'Hey" Mikomi said and stepped over only to see the Pixie fly upstairs. 'Hey wait a sec"
'Who's there?" A voice boomed and a boy about 13 years ago came down stairs, 'What are you doing here we're closed"
The boy was 13 with long unruly dark green hair and bright blue eyes. He was wearing a white buttoned down shirt with a pair of cargo jeans that showed there wear and tear over the years.
'Uh it was raining outside" Mikomi said and gulped this guy was built well and could probably pound her into the ground, 'I came in here looking for a phone"
'The phone's are out of order because of the storm" The boy said, 'Wait I know you. you're the new girl in school the one that says she can see ghosts"
'Uh yea that's me" Mikomi said, 'Names Mikomi and u are?"
'Peter" He said and walked down towards her, 'My locker is across the hall from yours"
'Oh you're the kid that does that thing with the amulet right?" She asked and chuckled.
'Peter who's there?" A voice asked.
'Someone looking for a phone father she got stuck in the rain" Peter called.
'Ah I see" The man said as he came downstairs.
He was a tall strict looking man with short messy green hair and bright green eyes that looked down at Mikomi with a stern look. He wore a white English collared shirt and tight blue jeans, his hands were covered by white gloves and he carried a string with a small diamond pendent on the end.
'I'm sorry I'll just leave" Mikomi said and headed to the door.
'Nonse I wouldn't let a fellow Shaman out in whether like this" The man said and Mikomi looked up in surprised.
'Huh?" Mikomi asked.
'The Samurai on your side he is your guardian ghost isn't he?" Peter asked.
'Yea" Mikomi said, 'Wow I'm running into more Shamans then I can handle tonight…"
'Come upstairs" The man said, 'Peter why don't you put some tea on for our guest"
'Of course father" Peter said.
Mikomi slowly walked up the stairs and found a small living room with a fireplace and table in the middle of the floor. The kitchen was on the left while two bedroom doors stood on the right. It reminded her of a English mansion house she had seen on a Movie once.
'Hey" She said as the pixie flew by her again and chuckled before flying over to the man who was sitting at the table looking at the newspaper through his half-moon glasses.
'Come and sit down" The man said, 'Allow me to introduce myself my name is Mr. Samuel I'm the Private Detective who owns the office downstairs but you can call me Lyserg and you've already met my son Peter, and this lovely lady is my guardian spirit Cleo"
'I'm Mikomi" She said as she sat down in a chair, 'And this guy is Kenshin"
'I am pleased to meet you" Kenshin said.
'Here" Peter said as he placed a teacup in front of Mikomi filled with herbal tea.
'Oh thanks" Mikomi said.
'So" Lyserg said, 'What were you doing out this late at night and in a storm like this?"
'Walking home" Mikomi said and sipped her tea.
'In the middle of the night?" Lyserg asked sipping his tea.
'Didn't you just move here?" Peter asked, 'You don't know the area well"
'Well I didn't really have a choice of coming down here" She said, 'A bunch of Shamans dragged me down here giving me a big bull story about me being a princess and all that"
'Princess?" Lyserg asked raising an eyebrow.
'Yea" Mikomi said and took a piece of bread which was in a basket in front of her. "Said I was the daughter of some king..uh I think they said his name was Yoh"
Suddenly Lyserg almost choked on his coffee and Peter looked up in surprise at his father.
'Are you alright?" Peter asked.
'Did you say..Yoh?" Lyserg asked and coughed, 'As in Yoh Ashakura"
'Oh no you aren't gonna tell me too" She said and sighed.
'Miss Mikomi maybe we should head home now" Kenshin said.
'Nonsense you'll stay here tonight you can sleep on the couch" Lyserg said, 'Peter get some blankets for our guest"
Mikomi soon found herself with a bed made from the fold out couch and laying trying to get to sleep. But she couldn't, Peter and Lyserg had fallen asleep in there own rooms leaving Mikomi in the living room staring at the fire.
'You're his daughter.." She remembered Ren saying and she turned over again.
She couldn't shake it off her mind, the whole being adopted thing. Slowly she sat up and touched her necklace, she had it ever since she could remember. Slowly she sat up and suddenly she heard a voice coming from Lyerseg's room and the light was on.
Slowly Mikomi got off the bed and looked at the light that shone from underneath the door. Slowly she pressed her ear against the door.
'Miss Mikomi what are you?" Kenshin asked and Mikomi put her finger to her lips and shushed him.
Slowly Mikomi opened the door a crack and looked inside, Lyserg was standing at the window a cell phone was in his hand.
'Yes she's safe" Lyserg said, 'Of course I saw it in her the first moment I laid eyes on her…ah that will be a problem also"
'What is talking about?" Mikomi asked.
'Yes..yes" Lyserg said and sighed heavily, 'No don't worry my home is safe Ren"
'So she's talking to Ren" She whispered and suddenly Lyserg turned around and Mikomi ducked to the side wall.
'No I'm still here" Lyserg said and pressed the goodbye button.
Mikomi quickly rushed back to the bed and covered herself as Lyserg came into the living room. Lyserg came into the room and looked around then his eyes settled on Mikomi. Walking towards her Mikomi clutched her necklace tightly. His shadow loomed over her and then he walked away back into his room.
As soon as Lyserg was back inside the room Mikomi leaped from the bed and she grabbed her jacket and made for the door.
'Mikomi?" A voice said and she turned to see Peter standing there stretching her arms and yawning.
'Peter" Mikomi said and reached for the doorknob.
'What are you?" Peter asked and didn't get to finish his sentence as suddenly the fire in the room went out.
The room got cold, not normally cold but deathly cold like your walking threw a freezer. Mikomi hugged herself and let go of the doorknob that burned her hand suddenly with it's icy chill. Peter and Mikomi stepped next to each other.
'What…whets going on?" Peter asked.
'I dunno" Mikomi said.
'Hello" A voice said and they turned to see a tall women standing at the doorway.
