Thanks. Here's my next part:
-----------------------------------------
Unlike the others, Leoshi walked out of the gates of the campus, with the book in his possession.
"I question Enrique's suggestion of walking into the public with the book." he thought.
But he had already started, so he decided to finish it.
Leoshi made it into the center of the city. Cars and busses sped past. Other Yoshies where everywhere walking to and fro. The place was lit up from the streets to the skies. Any lighter and it would have been impossible to think it where night.
He didn't have to walk that far before he came to a small shop. The sign above it read in strange symbols, and below, in captions, where the words "Antiques."
"This looks promising." Leoshi thought. He walked up to the doors and opened them.
The room was dark, with the exception of candlelight. Strange old items where stocked everywhere on the shelves.
"Hi, and welcome. Can I help you?" the Yoshi behind the counter asked. This Yoshi looked rather young. A bandanna that she wore on her head covered one of her eyes.
"...Pardon me for asking, but don't you seem a little young to run a shop alone?" Leoshi asked.
"Hm?" She asked. "No, no. I'm interning for some extra cash, I don't run this." She said.
"I see." Leoshi said. He began to look around the room.
"Wait a sec, I think I've seen you before. You're that new Yoshi on the campus!" she said.
Leoshi nodded.
"Yeah, I go to that school too! Nice to meet you, I'm Yinyoshi." she said politely, holding out a hand.
Leoshi didn't say anything, merely shook back.
"So, what can I do for you?" She asked.
"I have an oddity that you may be able to help me with." Leoshi said, holding out the book.
"Wow... weird." She said. She held the old book in her hands. "This must be ancient, the text is very old."
"Can you read it?" Leoshi asked.
"I can try, but I can't be sure..." She said. Yinyoshi opened the book and examined the first page. She placed her finger on the text.
"This symbol means "Spell." She said.
"Spell?" Leoshi replied.
"Yes." She replied back. Her finger moved up and down the page. "And this one means danger."
"Oh..." Leoshi said, a little worried about it.
"The only other symbol I can translate is this one, but even in English, it's still rather peculiar..." Yinyoshi said. As her finger slowly moved across the page, then enunciated: "Shidome..."
"What could that mean?" Leoshi thought. "Perhaps it code... or maybe something else. But for some reason, that word seems to mean something valuable, but I can't get it!
"I hope I helped." Yinyoshi said, handing back the book.
"It will help. Thank you." Leoshi said. He turned and quietly walked toward the door. The bell gave a ding as it opened, then again as he walked out.
"Strange..." Yinyoshi said. "That book's creeping me out."
The door suddenly opened again. Yinyoshi looked back up to see a new Yoshi walking in.
"Hello, how may I help you?" Yinyoshi asked.
The new figure said nothing. Yinyoshi was instantly intimidated by this new figure. She looked younger, maybe a junior or senior. She had a black shirt with a heart, with scratch marks on the heart, and she wore jeans. But the most striking off all where the claws and the large dark wings.
"Uh... can I help you?" Yinyoshi repeated.
This one didn't respond.
Yinyoshi looked around for a second and stepped backward. "Hello?"
"I understand it there was an old book here with ancient symbols?"
That book belonged to a customer, who just left. Sorry." Yinyoshi said.
The new Yoshi didn't say anything. She just started walking toward Yin.
"Uh... what are you doing? Who are you?" Yinyoshi asked.
"You may call me Moshi." She said. "And please forgive me for what I'm about to do."
Moshi suddenly raised her arm and pressed it over Yinyoshi's shoulder. A second later, she was out cold on the floor. Moshi picker her up and began to drag her away.
-----------------------------------------------------
Leoshi walked back onto the campus. He made it just in time, as the curfew bell rang. He was completely exhausted after the long day.
He walked right back into his dorm, which was still trashed. Without bothering to fix it up, he fell on his mattress and went right to sleep.
-------------------------------------
That's that. I'll get another part done soon
