Miiko Ito

Miiko woke up to the sound of birds chirping at the window. It had been one of those rare nightmare-less nights and so Miiko woke up feeling well rested; a pleasant change. She went to the bathroom and stripped herself of her pajamas, turning on the shower and stepping under the hot water to wash away the dirt of yesterday. Miiko watched as streaks of brown traveled down her white wings and mixed with the water below.

When Miko stepped out from the pulsating stream of water she shook out her wings so that they were no longer heavy with liquid. She pulled on her school uniform and folded her wings onto her back so that they were nearly invisible. When Miiko finally exited the restroom the birds had stopped chirping and the small smile that had been slowly growing began to dip downwards. She went to the window to investigate and opened up the panes to reveal a dead bird with a nail through its throat, a slip of paper tacked to the head. Horror clenched her stomach and her knees began to shake. The sight of the bloody bird wasn't what did it, Miiko had seen dead animals before and wasn't that squeamish, it was what was written on the note that scared her.

You're next.

Shaking, Miiko used the bed to slowly stand up and with trembling fingers she redid the lock on the window. No longer hungry for breakfast, Miiko began to prepare her lunch; feeling as though she were about to burst into tears. Should I tell someone? She wondered as she rummaged through the fridge to search for the fish she had picked up from the market last night.

"I should make Shikurai a lunch too! I wonder if she likes fish?" Threat forgotten, Miiko hummed as she prepared her lunch and a bento for Shikurai as well. "Should I make Trayton one too?" Miiko checked to see if she had enough fish and sure enough, there was extra, so she made a bento for Trayton as well.

Carefully, she placed the Bentos in her bag and left for the hospital to make her delivery, slipping her outside shoes on as soon as she was out of her apartment. As Miiko began to walk down the hall, someone bumped into her and mumbled an apology, pressing a slip of paper into her palm.

Watch your back birdie.
