Compass
“My thoughts exactly. Compass should lead us…” Your ears perked up, someone was coming. You shoved the paper into your robe and deftly jumped to the ceiling, using a mix of ninjistu and the Kitsune’s supernatural abilities you remained fastened to the ceiling as the doors opened.
A female student and Kubo came walking into the room.
“I can’t believe you allowed him out of your sight!” The girl scolded. It was Hanako, the lower hall monitor.
“It’s not my fault! He was out of the room before I’d gotten there.”
“It’s making us look bad, especially since you put your trust in that girl, Kasumi. There’s no Kasumi in the girl’s registry to my knowledge.”
Cat’s out of the bag on that one. You thought as the pair continued to argue, to your surprise; Kubo seemed fairly adamant about your innocence but the hall monitor wouldn’t budge. You quietly followed them out of the room and they both went their separate ways. Remembering from the map, the compass was in the direction that Hanako was going, so you continued in her direction.
Why don’t we just get rid of this Hanako? She’s going to be a problem. Kasumi asked you.
Lethal force against students is not allowed! I’d be in big trouble!
You would be but I wouldn’t. I’m just here for the treasure and if I have to kill that-
P-pay attention! Look! She’s going into the compass room.
Hanako entered two double doors into the room that had been previously marked as Compass. You dropped down from the ceiling and listened on the door. You heard a yawn from the door, followed by a plop onto something soft.
Just what kind of room was this? You grabbed the handle to the door and slowly pushed it open to find the Hall monitor passed out and turned to the side. It was easy to mock them for slacking on the job but then you remembered that it was late at night.
Kasumi wasted no time crawling low to the ground and searching for this compass. It was a risk opening up Hanako’s drawers due to the noise but you didn’t have much choice. This ended up nearly benign your downfall as when you went to check the top drawer of her dresser, you heard her roll over. In a panic, Kasumi transformed your body into that of a female fox.
You got that she didn’t want to tarnish a disguise but how would they react to seeing a Fox in their room? The transformation was quick and painless despite the skeletal shifting and body rearrangement that needed to occur. With you firmly stuck within your brain you didn’t even need to worry about your body feeling different.
“Hmm, foxieee.” She mumbled before sliding back into sleep, snoring loudly. Now that you were in the clear, you were free to jump up and grab the compass out from the drawer with your mouth. You scurried out of the room and Kasumi transformed your body back to your girlish form. You spat out the compass into your hand and noticed that the compass was pointing in the east direction.
“Well it’s up to you boss, where are we going? Security or should we follow the arrow?
