Mika had slowly begun to increase in her control skills. She hadn't figured out how to pull out her wings, but she hadn't figured out how to pull out her wings, but she had leaned to control her strength and speed.
Currently she was out shopping with Eve. "We got milk right?" Eve asked looking at the list.
"Yep." Mika smiled. "Otherwise Train might shot us." She laughed as Eve frowned. She looked at what she had. "I think we got everything."
"Sven wanted his cigarettes." Eve said calmly.
"I'm not buying him his death." Mika frowned. "I'm going to head back to the house, you coming?"
"I'm going to go buy those for him." Eve nodded walking off. Mika sighed shaking her head and continued on. She was almost to the house when a man stepped in front of her.
He was a bit taller than her and was averagely built. He had shaggy brown hair pulled back into a pony tail at the back of his head. He looked at her with bright green eyes. The strange thing was his eyes had red speckles in them.
Mika blinked. "Um... can you please move?"
He flinched. "So it's true... You don't remember me." The man, about 27, frowned. "I had hoped it was a lie."
Mika blinked confused. "I don't understand?"
"It's me Kenji, your brother." He smiled.
Mika froze in shock. "My... My what?"
"Your brother Kenji... Ken... KenKen? Come on Mika. I know it's been almost 18 years but I'm your brother."
Mika took a step back. "I... I don't remember..." She tensed as he took a step towards her. "Leave me alone!" She turned and ran.
"MIKA!" He yelled after her. She ignored him, and kept running till she was back at the market. She glanced back and then slowly took the long way back to the house.
"Welcome back Mika." Sven smiled as she walked in. "Hey you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine." She smiled weakly. "Just tired."
"Oh okay. Why don't you go take a nap then?"
"Alright." She nodded.
"Hey where's the little princess?" Train asked poking his head in.
"Out getting Sven's cigarettes. Sven those are going to kill you." She walked past him to her room. She stared up at the roof. My brother... Could it be true? She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"I wonder what was up with her?" Train watched Sven glance at her room. "I don't think she was just tired."
"Leave her alone Sven... Did she get the milk?"
Sven rolled his eyes and started putting the groceries away. "I'm just worried about her."
Train shrugged grabbing a glass of milk. "If its something we need to worry about she'll tell us."
Sven sighed, but glanced up as Eve walked in. "Hey Eve. Thanks." he said accepting the packet.
"Sven... There is a man watching the house." Eve said calmly. When Train and Sven stared at her in shock she continued. "Out in the tree across the street."
Sven and Train followed Eve out gripping their guns cautiously. But when they got there he wasn't there. "Are you sure he didn't notice you?"
"Yes." Eve said calmly looking around.
"We'll just have to be cautious and keep an eye out." Sven said putting his gun away. They headed back to the house. Train froze as they entered the house. "What's wrong?"
Train shushed him and rushed towards Mika's room. He gripped the handle and nodded. Sven pointed his gun and got ready. Train slammed open the door and Sven aimed his gun, at an open window.
"MIKA!" Sven called rushing over to her. She moaned and sat up rubbing her eyes. "Thank goodness."
"What?" She yawned.
Train rushed over to the window and looked out frowning. "He's gone!"
"What's going on?" Mika asked getting out of bed.
"Someone was here... Did you open your window?" Sven asked frowning.
"No..." Mika tensed. "What do we do?"
"Figure out who it is... Eve did you get a glimpse of him?"
"Not good enough to describe him." Eve frowned. "Do you think it was that man, Jargon?"
"No." Mika said calmly. "Jargon wouldn't leave me alive." She frowned.
"What is it Mika?" Sven asked looking at her.
"It's nothing... We should leave town and hope to lose him."
Sven nodded calmly, but could tell she was hiding something.
"Everything packed?" Sven asked as Mika put her bag in the car.
"Yep." She nodded.
Sven was quiet for a moment. "Mika what aren't you telling us? Something happened while you were out... You can talk to me." He walked up next to her.
Mika gave a smile. "Nothing, I was just tired."
He placed a hand on her shoulder. "Mika... you can tell me." He smiled gently. "You can trust me."
She looked up at him weakly. "Sven..." She blushed slightly. "I-."
"MIKA!" They both spun around as Kenji came running up and glared at Sven. "Get away from her!"
Sven frowned stepping in front of her. "Who are you?"
"I'm Kenji! Her brother!"
Mika tensed wanting to run. "What do you mean?" Sven asked glancing over as Train and Eve walked out. Kenji frowned glancing over slightly. "I said what do you mean?!"
"I mean what I say! I am Mika's older brother Kenji! She may not remember me, but I am her brother!"
Sven frowned. "Prove it!" Train called out.
"No need to yell." Kenji growled. "Mika loves cats. She can't stand rats." He smiled looking at her. "She had a ticklish spot behind her left knee and loves when she had someone mess with her hair, I used to braid it. She always hated being alone in the dark and she never liked dolls."
Mika stared in shock. He had gotten everything about her correct. "How do you know this is the right person? What if this Mika dyed her hair?"
"Mika would never dye her hair..." He glanced at her. "Plus there is her eyes." He smiled as if he had told a joke.
"It was you who broke into the room isn't it!" Eve frowned. "And was spying on us."
"Not you, Mika. I wanted to see how she was... Why she didn't remember me."
"How did you know I didn't remember anything?" Mika frowned.
"Because this isn't the first time." Kenji said calmly. Mika froze. "It happened once before when she was four."
"...You..."
"I am your brother Mika. And I finally found you." He stepped forward, but blinked as Mika looked down. "Mika?"
"If you are truly my brother... can you tell me who are parents are?"
"No... I don't know."
"... I'm going to keep traveling with Sven, Train, and Eve then." She said determinedly.
"But..."
"Kenji... I want to discover my past... and I feel that I can by traveling with them... Please understand."
"... Promise me you'll be careful!"
"Of course." Mika looked down not sure if she should hug him or not.
Kenji seemed to understand. "Here." He pulled out a piece of paper. "Call me when you're ready to come home. Or if you just want to talk."
She nodded taking it. "Good... Goodbye."
He smiled. "I'll see you soon then." He turned and walked off.
"Mika?" Sven asked.
"Let's go..."
