Miika ran quickly through Dobie Village. 'I can't believe I've found him.' she thought happily. She thought back, back to what happened with Ren. 'How nice of him to save me.' Miika closed her eyes at the thought, Ren saved her life. She probably wouldn't be alive if Ren hadn't caught her. Miika bumped into someone and fell over, she had her eyes closed after all. "Sorry dude." a voice said. Miika realized who it was with the first word he said. Trey held out his hand for help, Miika held it without hesitation, his grip gentle but firm. "I'm sorry." Miika said. Trey missed a beat; he was staring at the bird that Miika was clutching.
"It's no problem." Trey finally said. Miika sighed of relief.
"I'm glad," she laughed. Trey smiled at her
"Good. I was the one who bumped into you anyway," he said.
"N-no, it was definitely my fault." Miika insisted.
"That's not true. I have to say sorry properly... I'll walk you to your hotel!" Trey offered. Miika blushed, but then thought of Kioko.
"N-no! It's alright. Besides I have an. uptight master." Miika said quickly.
"Master?" Trey questioned. "Are you like someone's slave?" Trey winced at his question. 'Baka why would you point that out!' he thought. Miika smiled kindly.
"It's not that. I'm her spirit." she said. Trey looked at her,
"What?" he laughed as if he misheard.
"I am a spirit." Miika mumbled. Miika put her head down, readying herself for rejection. The her surprise, Trey stood there smiling. He nudged Miika's chin so that she faced him. "You don't look like a spirit. You feel real, you even eat food. Either way it's cool having you as a friend." Trey laughed. Miika felt a mix of feelings. Happy and sad. 'Trey does like me...' Miika thought, celebrating inside her head a little. 'but only as a friend.' she continued, with that the celebration died down.
'But does it matter?' a voice in the back of her head asked. Miika closed her eyes. She thought of her answer. Yes or No. Maybe wasn't an option.
"Dude, you okay?" Trey asked. "You've been in a sort of trance."
"Oh umm...Sorry bout that." Miika apologized.
"About what?" Trey asked.
"N-nothing." Miika stammered, she blushed then ran off quickly.
"B-but..." Trey said.
Miika ran into Kioko's hotel room. Amazingly she was there... sitting on the floor... with Junta. He was leaning in... leaning in for a kiss. Miika cough loudly. Kioko and Junta pulled away from each other. "Yume!" Kioko called out with surprise, for a moment she looked angry. But the bird distracted her. "You found Miko!" Junta said happily. Miika handed the bird to Junta. But that wasn't what was on her mind. Suddenly Sora bursted into the room, "A LETTER FROM KOUMI-SENSEI!" Sora yelled. She didn't notice Miko, she just huddled up in the corner and started reading the letter. T.K. then entered the room sighing,
"Sorry she got majorly hyperactive when Silva gave her that letter." he said. Then he noticed the large bird Junta was holding. "MIKO!" he yelled excitedly, sounding just like Sora. He hugged the bird tightly. "Alright let's find you spirit and put it into the bird." Kioko mumbled moodily. T.K. beamed happily and gave Kioko some space. "What should I do?" he asked.
"Just place him in the ground." Kioko muttered. T.K. did as he was told. Kioko held her ribbon between her palms. (A.N: By the way this is gonna be different from the way Anna does it.) She muttered a few words, which T.K. heard as "Nau-Ma-Ri-San-Ba-Sa-Ra-Tan." Then she was engulfed but a shadowy ball. In Kioko's mind she thought 'Spirit of Miko. Feel my ribbon. Lead yourself to this bird's body.' There was a loud screech that came from the shadowy ball. Junta and Miika covered their ears. Sora still wasn't distracted and T.K. found it familiar. Then a multicolored ray of light shot the bird that Miika had captured. "There he's ready." Kioko said as she reappeared from the vanishing shadowy ball. T.K. looked at the bird happily. 'T.K.-sama!' Miko said in his mid. T.K. happily cuddled his spirit.
"Yo, T.K. listen up!" Kioko said, loudly. "There's a few things you need to know about Miko." T.K. put his head up and listened. "For him to attack you need two things, a medium for you and a medium that Miko can hold." T.K. thought, he never really had two mediums. Then he had an idea. He got something out of his vest pocket. Two multicolored feathers. "One goes on his head another goes on his wing. When Miko went to the spirit world these two feather was left behind. I'll keep the one that goes on his head..." T.K. tucked in the longer feather under Miko's wing. "Miko can have the other." T.K. continued. Kioko nodded.
"OH MY GOSH!" Sora suddenly shouted, making everyone else jump.
"WHAT!" Kioko snapped.
"I have a step-sister!" she said happily.
"What!" Junta asked out of confusion.
"Koumi-sensei is pregnant." Sora answered. Kioko and T.K. sat there, baffled. Kioko tugged in Junta's sleeve,
"What is she talking about?" Kioko asked quietly.
"Koumi is-" Junta was cut off by Miyu, who was flying towards the three.
"I can tell you that." she said,
"Go on." Kioko said.
'Well, since birth master was an orphan, along with Junta. Because the village she lived in was terrorized by bandits, the bandits that killed her mother. One day, the bandits attacked master. Koumi was there to save her. She was a shaman you see. The bandits wasn't a challenge for her. Anyway, the bandits was defeated and Koumi took master in. Master calls Koumi 'sensei' because she was the one to train master and me' Miyu said. Kioko and T.K. nodded.
"Wow all I knew was Koumi was Sora's step-mom." Junta said.
Koumi is mine
