" you know where it is. Give it to me. Give it to me !!! " A man came up to her.

Mika : what... I don't know what you're talking about. You... You're not human.

" Give it to me !! Or you go die !! "

Mika : give you what ?

" Since you don't know. Then die. " He stabs his hand into her flesh. He covers her mouth " oh no. No shouting. " He pulls his hand out, blood flows from her abdomen and he picks his fingers of the blood liquid. She falls onto her back unconscious. Her last glance was at the man who just killed her.

I've been here so long but you've never noticed me.

Who are you ?

I'm you.

What, I'm you? Split personality ?

Don't be crazy. Of course not. I am you. You are me. We're the same person.

What do you want ?

You're dying.

Right... I got stabbed by that guy... That demon.

Don't act dumb. Hurry up and heal.

Huh ? I'm just a mere human. I am dying. Become like of those spirits I always see.

Tsk. Oh come on. Don't tell me you've never suspected.

Suspect what ?

Remember when we were five ?

I broke my leg when I fell down the hill that time. So what ?

And ?

The doctor said I healed really fast. On just 3 days. Like a miracle. He has never seen anything like that.

Don't tell me you still think that's because you're shinigami. Though it's great to kick that thing out. So annoying. Take up space .

What are you talking about?

Oh come on. Just try. You do want to live right ? You do want still see that rikuo right ?

She wakes up taking in a big gasp.

Rikuo : Mika !! Mika !! Daijobu ?!!

Mika : ... Someone stabbed me.

Rikuo: you're awake. That's great.

Mika touches to her tummy " you saved me. Arigatou.  "

Rikuo ;  Mika. I didn't. You healed yourself.

Mika laughs " what are you talking about? "

Rikuo ; you really don't know ? You're a half demon.

Mika catches a glimpse of her look in a mirror on the wall. She goes over and takes a careful look " I'm a half demon ? "

She then looks to rikuo " my eye colour and hair colour changed. Just like you. " She laughed a little.

Rikuo ; well I like you either way.

Mika blushes " arigatou. How do you know I'm half ? Not a quarter just like you ?"

Rikuo : Yusana told us.

Yusana came in " leave her alone. "

Rikuo ; she's going to die !!!

Yusana: she will self heal. She's a half demon.

Rikuo: how do you know ?!!

Yusana ; a human doctor won't do much help. It's up to you to listen .

Mika's flesh start to heal slowly.

Mika : hey. Yusana.

Yusana : Mika. Daijobu ? It seems you healed nicely. Your demon look is very beautiful.

Mika : how come you know I'm half demon ?

Yusana : because... Because I'm your mother.

Mika : what ?

Yusana : that's why you're half demon.

Mika : but my daddy said my birth mother died when she gave birth to me.

Yusana : I did ask him to tell such a lie.

Mika : why did you leave me if you were alive this whole time ?!

Yusana ; a bunch of people were chasing me for something I have. I couldn't let you or your father be in danger.

Taneki ; do you have to go ?

Yusana kisses him as tears flowed " I must go. I want you two to be safe. "

Taneki ; where will you go ?

" somewhere they cannot find me." She strokes his face " don't look for me. I want you both safe. " She looks to her baby once more " grow healthy ok. Baby. "

Mika ; and then daddy remarried.

Yusana ; hai. I knew about that too. I went for their wedding. Took another look at you. But of course, only your daddy knew. Only he could see me.

Mika : you're not angry ?

Yusana: no. He deserves someone who can be by his side. She takes care of you well too, he said .

Mika ; did you love him very much ?

Yusana : hai. Very very much. I wished that I could be with him till the day he died. But that was not possible. I am happy he chose someone who could stay with him. He seemed happy.

Mika : mummy.

" Mika. " Yusana strokes her little girl's hair.

Mika ; so it's ok for you to come find me now ?

Yusana ; I thought it would be...

Mika grabbed onto her mother's hand " no. Don't go away again. Just stay here with me. I have no more parents."

Yusana : but ...

Mika ; no !!! Anything happens, we face together!! I don't want you to leave ever again !! Promise !!

Yusana : erm... Ok. Promise. * Strokes hair* my Mika. My little girl.

Mika : hehe. Mummy.
