Chapter 1~ Not-so much of a puzzle.

You'd think that archaeologists just dig up rusty old, useless relics of the past, right?
Wrong. (Well, right and wrong bit of course, you don't need to know THAT.)
Two archaeologists were excavating a cavern when they came across a statue. It was of a girl, wearing feudal era Japanese clothing. But what shocked then the most was her ears. They were not at all human. They were cat ears.
Suddenly, after bringing the statue back to carbon date the statue, from it's insides, a girl burst out of there.
Who is this girl known as Nekota? And why was she petrified?
