[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu almost cawed out loudly when he triggered something when he was walking through the room and instinctively flew to a higher place to get away from the threat. On top of the desk, he could see that there was a hidden cavity within the room, and shuddered at remembering how one of the youngsters would frequently make use of the hidden passageways within the kitsune's residence to sneak up on him. His family and one other family within the tribe were very close to the foxes, and unfortunately he was also one of their favorite victims since he could be scared so easily.

Nonetheless, as long as the runes were active, he wouldn't have to fear the same thing happening in this place. He hopped down and walked over to it, looking up and down to see that there was a picture inside. His eyes picked up more detail than his human form could at that distance, and he found that Toshi was in the picture as well as three others. Toshi mentioned that she placed the runes up some two hundred years ago, and she also mentioned that the incident with that family happened over two hundred years ago as well. He felt like he was on to something but couldn't quite place his finger on it. Was Toshi a close relative at the time to the family who was lost, or something else? He wondered where the sister was. Maybe she was excluded, or..? A shiver went down his spine. He knew something wasn't quite right. He'd have to ask Toshi about it later.

He shifted back into his human form, and everything seemed to be shrouded in a blanket of shadows. The light was just enough to allow him visibility of most things in the room so he wouldn't accidentally bump into them due to limited vision. Yuu, instead of slipping into the futon, quietly moved his way to the door to listen to any movements outside, awaiting the time to take action.
