The Eclipse 🐺

Chapter Thirty-Two: Nogitsune

After the whole thing of being marked twice. I had gotten home and dove into research. I knew what the backwards five meant, it meant 'self' it was a Kanji. Allison had filled me in before as I had asked. I also asked if there were two marks on Isaac and she said no. This concerned me, as they marked everyone with one Kanji symbol meaning 'self' but marked me with another, meaning God knows what.

I held a book out in-front of me as I sat crossed legged on the bed, as papers, books open and closed dotted around on my bed. But with everyone book I was reading, there wasn't anything with this symbol in.I even had a few Japanese books out that I have. There was a few symbols that didn't look like the one I had on my right ear, but I wasn't going to give up on hope.

I huff in frustration, as I wasn't getting anywhere more on this symbol. I had drawn the symbol out, bigger and better, it was in pencil, and it was bold to grab people's attention. I slam the current book shut and threw it back onto the bed, and grab the drawing I had drawn.

"What do you mean," I had spoke to myself, looking over the drawing. But suddenly, my phone began to ring, but it was under the piles of books and papers. I place the drawing back down, and sieved through them. Until I had reached the bottom of the sheets of paper to find my phone. Allison's ID was brought up, but it was quickly gone as it rang out. As the screen went back to normal, I had tons of messages off of Scott and also miss phone calls off of him.

I frown as I open my phone, reading the messages over. Oh God, Stiles was missing, but luckily they had found him a few minutes ago. Maybe all them voicemails will be Scott shouting down the phone for me. But I'm glad he was safe, but why is he sleepwalking. It made no sense, but this was our lives, nothing made sense anymore...

.............................................

The next day had came, and I had kept the same outfit as I hardly slept as too much was on my mind right now. My mind wasn't in the right head space to cope with High School right now. There are more important things to take care of, and one was this stupid symbol. But luckily, if it's a Kanji like the other symbol then maybe I could ask Kira's Dad, who's the History teacher.

I appeared in the classroom which was empty besides Kira's Dad, sitting at this desk, marking papers. I knocked on the door, as I held my folded up drawing in my hand. "Mr Yukimura? Can I have a word," I had spoken as he turn his gaze to look at me.

"Yes, Miss Harper?" I had came into the room as he spoke my name, coming to stand in front of his desk.

"Can I ask you about this," I had spoken as I unfolded the drawing that I did, and placed it in front of him as he stares down at it. "Do you know what this symbol means?"

His eyes glance over the image, as he was studying it. He takes a closer look at the image, as he finished studying the symbol as he took his gaze back to me. "This is a Kanji symbol for 'Immortal'. Where did you see this?" He had spoken as fear had struck my core. If the Oni could tell I was Immortal then this symbol could out me to my friends.

"In a book, but it never gave the meaning of the symbol. So, I thought I'll go to the expert in this," I smiled sweetly at him, as I grabbed the drawing and folded back up. "Thank you for your time,"

I quickly made my way out of the classroom, as I didn't let him get a word in. This wasn't good, and now that it's imprinted into the back of my ear until this dark spirit is found, it's not going away anytime soon. Well I hope it will go away when this dark spirit is found, I had no clue.

As I walk down some steps, I see Kira at the bottom of them, and then Scott further down the hall, walking away. "He's a little preoccupied," Derek's strong voice came to ear, making me go down the steps, as he was looking down the hall to Scott. I came next to Kira as she looks at me as well did Derek. "But I can help you,"
