Mika yawned as she woke up. She felt tired and sore from her run in with Brumon. She still marveled at Sven's team and their rescue of her. She smiled thinking about them as she got ready.

She hurried to work, being extra cautious, and slipped in acting calm.

"Hey Mika." Kachi called.

She waved and got to work. After a few minutes she grinned as Sven, Train, and Eve walked in. "Hey!"

Sven smiled seeing her and sat in a booth. Train and Eve sat next to him and smiled at her as well. She walked over with three menus and smiled. "What can I get you three?"

"Milk." Train smiled.

"Coffee and a water." Sven nodded.

Mika rolled her eyes. "A smoker and a coffee drinker. You're on your way to an early grave. Alright then milk, water, and coffee coming right up." She turned and left. She returned with the drinks as well as appetizers.

"We didn't order yet." Sven tensed.

"This is on me. As thanks for saving me."

"It was nothing. As a-."

"Gentleman, I know." Mika giggled. She walked off to serve another table.

Even after they had left she continued to smile.

"You be careful." Kachi frowned as Mika went to leave. "I don't want you to get killed."

"I'll be fine."

"You sure?" He frowned.

"Yes. Don't worry. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Mika." He grabbed her arm gently. "Please be careful. I care about you a lot. I know you can take care of yourself at home…. but out in the streets…"

"I'll be fine." She smiled gently. "Don't worry."

He frowned, but let her go. "Bye Mika."

"Bye." She smiled and walked out. She sighed after she had managed to get farther away. She didn't want Kachi to worry about her. While he was a tall and buff man able to hold his own in a fight, Mika was small and skinny. She had always avoided fights.

"Hey Mika." Train waved form the side of the road.

"What are you doing here?"

"Waiting for Sven to return from cashing in our catch."

"Well that's good that you caught one of them."

"Yeah!" He grinned. "You heading home?"

"Yes." Mika nodded. "Don't worry I'll be fine." I'm fast enough I can run from anyone suspicious."

Train shrugged, but looked up as Sven walked up. "Hey Sven."

Mika turned and smiled. "Hi Sven."

He looked at her. "Walking by yourself?"

"Don't worry I'll be fine." She sighed. "I may not be strong, but I'm fast."

He looked at her and sighed. Eve looked between the two from behind Train. "Sven?"

"Just be careful." Sven nodded to Mika and turned to his companions. "I guess we'd better get going."

Mika smiled and started to walk off. She froze as a man stepped into her path. He was tall and muscular. He had bright green eyes with red speckles and a hard cold look that frightened Mika. He had dark black messy hair and scars trailed down his arms.

"Hi angel. Been a while."

Mika took a step back. She had never met the man before, but she felt a cold dread as he smiled at her.

He stepped forward and went to punch her. She barely dodged and gasped looking at the damage to the ground his fist had done. "Heh, fast as ever Mika. Now don't hold back and fight me."

"How… how do you know my name…?"

"Oh don't play dumb!"

"MIKA!" Sven and Train were suddenly there. "Back off!"

The man stared at Sven and frowned. "Back off. This is a personal matter between Mika and I."

Sven frowned. "Mika do you know this guy?"

"N-No…" Mika shivered.

"Mika, you little liar!" He growled. "Stop playing DUMB!" He swung to hit her.

Sven pulled her back and Train dodged. "Mika back up and let us handle this."

She nodded and watched him and Train take up their positions. Eve ran up and took her own.

The man laughed. "You think you have a chance to beat me?! The only one who stands a chance here is Mika!" He laughed darkly.

Mika shivered watching the three try to beat him. Train was doing the best. Mika was confused and scared. She jerked as he slammed Eve into a wall and kicked Sven. He's after me! I can't let them get hurt because of me! She jumped up and ran. Follow me! Leave them alone!

A few minutes later he was behind her and she was cornered. Oh no!

"Now then. Show your real self Mika!" He laughed. "Let's have a real fight. Just like old times!"

"Y-You m-must h-have the w-wrong person." Mika stuttered backing up as far as she could.

He glared angrily and grabbed her throat suddenly. He looked her over as Mika strained to breath. "It can't be… I was wondering why you looked the same." He laughed. "You lost your memory!"

"MIKA!" The man frowned and looked over to see Sven. He was breathing heavily and clutching a gun, pointed at the man.

"You pest! Stop interrupting! This time you won't survive!" He pulled out a gun and pointed it at Sven. "Bye pest."
