Chapter 9
Dokuro-chan stood in complete shock. Father John said that proof of him being possessed is something like speaking in a language that he couldn't possibly know, Dokuro-chan thought. The angel knew for a fact that he shouldn't have been able to speak German at all. She quickly took the look of surprise off her face as Sakura turned to her as the couple went on their way.
"What is it," Sakura asked, "You look a little out of it?"
"Oh I just am getting a little overheated is all," Dokuro-chan replied.
"Well then we better get home," Sakura answered, "Besides it is starting to get late."
Dokuro-chan noticed that he was right, and the fact that it would soon be dark made her all the more anxious to get back home. The two of them walked back the way they came. Dokuro-chan was still surprised about Sakura speaking German. I am going to have to tell this to Zakuro when we get back, Dokuro-chan thought to herself. When they got to the house it was already dark, and Dokuro-chan was relieved that nothing big had happened since the event with the tourists.
"I'll be going to bed now," Sakura stated once the two of them got into the house.
"I'll be going to bed too but there is something that I have to do first," Dokuro-chan replied.
She watched as he entered the hallway and then his room with a sense of relief that nothing had happened. She looked and once again saw her sister sitting down in a chair n the living room sleeping. She walked over to wake her up. Zakuro's eyes opened when she heard her sister's footsteps approach.
"So how did it go," she asked, "Did anything happen?"
"As a matter of fact something did happen," Dokuro-chan replied.
"What," Zakuro questioned.
"When we sat down to rest at a bench in the park we saw two tourists," Dokuro-chan replied, "I found out that they were German when I went to ask them if they needed any help. Then before I could answer Sakura went up and told them where they needed to go in perfect German!"
"What?!"
"You heard me, and he has never spoken German or heard it said in his entire life."
Dokuro-chan looked at her sister who was clearly in deep thought about what to do with the situation. What should I do, Dokuro-chan thought.
"You should tell this to Father John," Zakuro finally said.
"That was my first thought when he started speaking German," Dokuro-chan replied, "He said that one of the things that would help prove a case of possession would be him speaking in a language that he has never heard or spoken."
"Tomorrow after school you should go see him and tell him about what happened tonight."
Dokuro-chan nodded in agreement and headed off to bed. When she laid down she couldn't get to sleep again, but this time it was because of what happened when the two went on a walk. She couldn't get Sakura speaking German out of her head and continuously wondered how Father John would react to it when she told him about it. The more she thought about it the less tired she became. After what seemed like forever she finally fell asleep. When she woke up the next morning she felt the need to go right over to Father John's house to tell him about this sudden experience that she had, but she knew that would have to wait until after school.
"Dokuro-chan come downstairs for breakfast," Zakuro called.
Dokuro-chan got out of bed and got ready for school. She headed downstairs where as usual she saw her sister and Sakura at the table already eating breakfast. She sat down and started to eat until Sakura looked up and asked:
"Did you sleep okay last night? Your eyes look really red."
"I tossed and turned a lot," Dokuro-chan answered.
They finished their breakfast and went on their way to school. They got to school at their usual time, but school was let out early because no one had seen Sabato-chan around for so long that they had finally made the decision that something really bad had happened to her. When school was out Dokuro-chan rushed to tell Sakura that she would be a little late when she got home and that he should just head home. She quickly put her things into her bag and hurried off to see Father John. Her mind couldn't stop circling around what she was going to tell Father John. When she finally got to his house she sprinted up to his front door and knocked.
"Who is it," Father John's voice came from inside the house.
"It's me, Dokuro-chan," the angel answered.
She heard the door unlock and then open. She quickly went inside. Before the priest could get a chance to offer her a seat she had already found one at the table in the kitchen where she sat the last time she was there.
"Would you mind telling me what this is all about," Father John asked.
"It's Sakura," she started, "I have witnessed proof that he is possessed."
"What," Father John asked in surprise.
"It happened yesterday when the two of us went on a walk."
"Slow down," the priest said handing her a glass of water.
Dokuro-chan sat and told him the whole thing of what happened. She went over every last detail as calmly as she could. She looked at Father John the entire time hoping that he would believe her. When she finished she took a long drink of water from the glass that Father John had given her. She looked at the priest who was clearly in deep contemplation about what to make of the story that the angel had just told him.
"That is very interesting," Father John finally said, "But do you know for a fact that he has never heard or spoke German in his entire life?"
"Yes," Dokuro-chan answered, "I am completely certain that he has never been exposed to the language."
"I still don't know if that is enough to warrant an exorcism," the priest once again looked perplexed about what to do.
"There is still one other thing," Dokuro-chan stated.
"What is that?"
"Have you heard about the missing high school student Sabato-chan?"
"Yes, I have."
"Well my sister and me found her body."
"What?!," Father John replied startled.
"She was an angel just like me, but when we found her."
"What," Father John cut in.
Dokuro-chan could feel tears starting to swell up in her eyes as her vision started to become blurry. Father John got up to get some tissues and gave them to her so that she could wipe off her tears. She thanked him and continued on.
"One day after school Sakura told me to go on home since he had some business to take care of," Dokuro-chan said, "He got home much later though and had brought this duffel bag with him. When he walked into the door we noticed that his hands were completely cover in a crimson liquid which I have no doubt was blood."
"What was inside the bag," the priest asked.
"There were two things that were inside the bag," Dokuro-chan started, "There was The Sealed Prison Sanctuary Lurnelg, which is something that Sabato-chan's mom had left at our place by accident. And the other item was a knife that was also bloody."
"Then what happened?"
"Well, Zakuro noticed that Lurnelg had been recently used, so she opened it and then that is when we saw Sabato-chan's body. She had been stabbed in the stomach where the most blood was and her face was filled with an expression of pure fear."
After she finished telling Father John about this she wiped some more tears away and looked at him to see his reaction. He was clearly thinking about all that he had to take in from what he had just been told. After a while he nodded his head and looked the angel right in the eye.
"All right," he said, "I'll perform the exorcism."
