Chapter Four
The Dream and Realizations
" Hiei, can you see what she is dreaming about?" Kurama said. Hiei removed the white bandana and concentrated. He saw the dream.
THE DREAM
A family of three was sitting in a room, surrounding them was a bunch of computers. A little girl, about twelve, was holding a video camera. She was filming two persons. Her father was typing in one computer, her mother was watching what the father was doing.
" Mama, what is papa doing?" the little girl asked.
" He is doing a program to help the police catch the bad guys." Her mom answered.
" Okay. Go papa! We should help eliminate the bad people." The little girl said, grinning widely. Her dad gave her a small pat in the head. " Mama, can I go to Shuichi's house later? He wanted to show me something."
" Of course. Be careful okay." Her mother said. Her mom went to get some juice when the little girl and her father heard her scream and a gunshot. Apparently, men in black suits surrounded the house.
" Run, my little angel, run and hide! Don't let them get you and this. Now go!" Her father told her and gave her a small microchip. She did what she was told and ran out the room, carrying the microchip safely in her hand. She ran and then she heard several gunshots.
"Papa!" She said, crying very hard. ' What is happening?' She asked herself. Then,she saw her mother's body lying in the ground. She put the microchip safely in her front pocket and kneeled to the ground and hugged her mother.
" A-angel. O-o-ur little a-angel. I-I-I lo-lo-ve y-ou." With that her mother died.
" Mama!" She cried. She hugged the dead body of her mother. The ones left of the men in black suits saw her. They were about to shoot her when someone shoot them ahead. It came from behind her.
" You'll need this." It was one of the men in black. He handed her a gun. And He immediately left. She held the gun in her hand and turned her head to her mother. Then, a person came into the view.
" You survived." A deep voice of a male said. She looked up and saw that it was his father's best friend.
" It's you 'Uncle'." She called him uncle even though they were not related. Her father and he were so close that they were like brothers. " 'Uncle', they killed mama and papa." She said, crying. " I don't know why."
" You want to know why?" He smirked. " Because I told them to. Too bad they didn't include you." He said.
" Why? Mama and papa trusted you." It came almost chocked.
" Because I need the program your father is working on." He said. " Now hand me that microchip! I know he gave it to you." He demanded. He was walking closer to her.
'Don't let them get you and this.' The voice of her father echoed through her head.
It didn't take long before realization hit her innocent mind. She held the gun tightly and pointed to her 'Uncle'.
" You are not going to kill me. You can't do that." He said, smirking.
" Watch me." She said, voice full of hatred. She pulled the trigger then BANG!
Her first shot. Her first kill.
END DREAM
She awoke with a start. She was covered in sweat.
Kurama saw her awaken and examined her. He saw that her eyes weren't green anymore. They were…blue.
' I can't believe I'm dreaming that again.' She said, she stood up and walked to the kitchen.
" Come on, let's get out of here." Kurama said. He jumped down the tree and walked back to his house. Hiei silently followed.
He walked inside the house and went upstairs quietly. He peeked into a room and saw that her mother was sleeping soundly. He had to make sure that she came back already.
He went to his room and saw Hiei already in there. He saw his window was already open.
" Hiei, can you tell me what you saw?" Kurama asked. Hiei the told him everything.
" Wow. That must be hard for her." Kurama said.
" So, you knew her when you were little." Hiei said like more of a statement than a question.
" Maybe, I can't really remember her." Kurama told him. " Thanks Hiei. You can leave now."
Hiei just nodded at him and left.
Kurama pulled out his compact and Koenma's face appeared.
" Oh, it's you Kurama. What can I do for you?" The Prince asked.
" I just want to know if you could do a background check on a girl named Mica Wilson. Brown Hair and Green Eyes. Thank You."
" I'll contact you when I find the information." With that he closed his compact.
Kurama lied on his bed and thought about the dream until he fell asleep.
With Mica…
She went to the kitchen and made herself some hot chocolate. It always made her feel okay.
She glanced up at the clock, 11 in the evening. That late?
She finished her hot chocolate and went back to her bedroom to sleep.
…Morning…Thursday…
About 5:30 in the morning.
A girl was sitting on a swivel chair. Hand on a computer keyboard. 10 small LCD's surrounded her. Two on her left, six in front of her and two on her right, one on top of the other. (A/N: Like the one in the movie SO CLOSE.) Her blue eyes were reading something on the LCD in front of her. She smirked. Another Job.
She saw the e-mail address and decided to give her reply. She then stood up and got ready for the day.
With Shuichi…
He was walking to school when he spotted the familiar brown haired girl.
" Hi Mica." Shuichi said, walking beside her.
" Oh, Hi Shuichi." She said, smiling at him.
They heard whispers.
" Look at her, flirting with our Shuichi." "Yeah, such a slut." "Oh my gosh, she is such a whore."
Mica just ignored the whispers but made a mental image of how the three girls look like. However, Shuichi turned to her.
" Don't worry about them. They can't hurt you." Shuichi told her.
" Who said I was worried?" Mica said. " They are the ones who should be worried. They don't know who they are going up against." She said with such coldness.
" Anyway," she said, changing the topic easily. " We should just continue our science project today."
" Why?" Shuichi asked.
" I just don't need the job yet. Maybe next week." Mica said and headed off to class with Shuichi following behind her.
The classes went by smoothly. Then Afternoon came.
" Hey, let's go to your house." Mica said.
" Okay." Shuichi walked side by side with Mica. This earned whispers.
" Oh my gosh! There she is again."
" You know what, I really think that she was the one who ambushed Sarah and the others."
" Yeah, so that she can have our Shuichi all by herself."
The three girls from earlier were talking again. They were whispering loud enough for both of them to hear. Shuichi looked at Mica and looked like she didn't hear anything. The walk was in silence until they reached the house.
" Nobody else is in here. My mom and step dad are in a business trip and will not be back for two weeks and my little brother is on a camping trip and will not be back after a week." Shuichi explained.
" Okay." She just nodded to him.
" I'll just get something and if you want to eat, my mom filled up the refrigerator. Just feel at home." Shuichi said and disappeared upstairs.
She went to the kitchen and got out a pitcher of orange juice. She looked at the cupboard and saw the glasses on the top most shelves. She reached for one glass and put it down on the table. She poured orange juice on the glass.
Shuichi saw that Mica was not in the living room so he went to the kitchen and saw her reaching for another glass It was high that her blouse went up a little and showed her lower back(not the ass part) that was graced with a tattoo. A star and crescent moon tattoo.
" What? Never seen a tattoo before?" She asked smirking when she noticed Shuichi staring at her back.
" Oh… Uhm… No, it's just that I thought I saw that tattoo somewhere." Shuichi easily lied. 'Maybe it is just coincidence that she has the same tattoo.' He thought.
'I thought you were smarter than that Shuichi.' Youko told him.
' But she can't be, can she?' He told him.
'Nothing is impossible.' Youko told him.
" Are you okay? Do you want some juice?" Mica asked.
" Okay, thank you." He said. Mica handed him one glass and they exited the kitchen and went to the living room.
They finished their project after three hours, taking in suggestions and compliments from one another.
They poured themselves another glass of orange juice.
" Why do you think they accuse you of beating Sarah and her company? It's not like you are the one who did it. It's not in your character." Shuichi said.
' If you only know Shuichi.' Mica thought. " I don't know." Was her short reply.
" Well, I think that you are the most caring person I have ever met, with the exception of my mother." Shuichi said.
Mica just gave him a sweet smile. Shuichi remembered someone with that smile.
" What?" She gave him a confused look.
" Nothing. I just thought you look a lot like someone I knew." Shuichi said. " Hey, I have to meet some friends of mine."
" Oh, okay. Let's go. I have to take care of something also." They went out of Shuichi's house and went their separate ways.
