I'm so terribly sorry! But school had me SWAMPED algebra is so hard TT but I finally got to updating, I will have another chapter up soon probably tomorrow, Since it's a weeked and because this chapter isn't all that eventful ' But please enjoy!
"Wait, let me get this straight…You, a human being, claim you were Sora, the cat." Tamahome questioned. Mizuki nodded silently.
"How.." Hotohori whispered
"Well, You see um, I'm not too sure myself" she lied, telling them that they were inside a book didn't look like it would go well.
"But-" Miaka Immediately protested
"Ouch" Mizuki winced and held her arm, it didn't really hurt that much, just stung, but a distraction is a distraction.
"Sora, Are you alright" Hotohori gently asked, Mizuki smiled and nodded
"Yea I'm okay, just stings a bit is all" She rubbed her arm lightly smearing blood over it. The wound itself had reopened that she can tell, but it was much smaller now.
"Hotohori called for a servant to get a wet cloth and clean the wound. Mizuki looked away, she could smell the alcohol on the cloth, she closed her eyes and waited for it to be over. After a few minutes of pain the wound was all clean.
"Your highness, I think you should see this." The servant said. Clearly carved in the middle of Mizuki's arm was the kanji symbol of "Sky." Several gasps were heard from within the kitchen.
"What? Whats wrong?" She looked down at her arm. "What…" she whispered, silently remembering her dream when the woman dug her fingernail into her arm.
"That woman!" Mizuki exclaimed
"Woman?" Hotohori questioned
"Yea, I had a weird dream that some woman dug her fingernails into my arm and its right where that symbol thing is, what does it mean anyway?"
Hotohori mentally sighed, he wasn't sure if this was a good or bad turn of events.
"The symbol means "Sky" or in Japanese "Sora."
"That's so cool! It's the same name that you gave her when she was a cat!" Miaka exclaimed.
"We all should get some rest and finish this tomorrow" Hotohori suggested ordering the servants to get a room ready for Mizuki and left.
Mizuki stayed up looking at her arm
That really hurt you stupid woman
She traced the symbol on her arm with her finger and sighed. What was Hotohori going to do with her, maybe think she was a witch and burn her at the stake. Then again, she didn't know what time period she was in; after all, in a way she did deceive him, not telling him that she was a cat.
No one would have known! I couldn't talk!
She went back to tracing the symbol on her arm to find it gone.
"Huh? That's strange" Oh well, I guess I should get some sleep, it's probably three am already.
She fluffed up her pillows and fell asleep.
Hotohori was lying in his bed, the bloody sheets were changed of course. His mind went back to the scroll he was reading before.
Two priestesses…could Mizuki be the second? But she had a symbol of a one of the suzaku warriors. He then remembered the scroll saying that the second priestess would be "right under his nose" and a cat defiantly fit that description, but she wasn't a cat anymore. So is she a priestess a warrior or both? He would discuss the matter tomorrow after a nights sleep he decided. Ducking under the covers he waited for him to fall into dream land.
Well! Thats the end of that, next chapter will be up soon I hoped you enjoyed, although nothing really happened ' Oh yeah! her symbol is on her upper arm, not like where Tasuki's is.
Your reviews, my motivation.
