Kiss Of Death by Ako Kanmu
The sky was hugged by fluffy, white clouds and the sun was replaced by the mysterious yet elegant moon. A gentle breeze brought a shower of cherry blossoms upon a small yellow house in Tomoeda. In that yellow house was an auburn haired child with emerald eyes. The girl waited for her otou-san by her bedroom window. Ever since her okaa-san's death, she hadn't been able to get to sleep without a hug from him and the previous night, her otou-san had taken the family car and driven away shortly after she'd fallen asleep.
Her onni-chan had told her to sleep quite a few hours ago. She pretended to sleep for a few minutes, knowing that it didn't take her onii-chan long to fall asleep. As she held tight to her koneko-chan that her okaa-san had given her, she peered out the window watching for her otou-san's car. Minutes turned into hours and there was still no sign of it.
Finally, when the time read 4:07 am, the car pulled into the driveway. Unable to contain her excitement, the young girl bounced off the bed and raced down the stairs to greet her otou-san. Hearing the front door open, she quickened her pace.
"Otou-san! Otou-san!" the girl shouted as she ran down the stairs. Arriving at the door, she saw a little girl in the arms of her otou-san.
"Who's that girl?" she asked curiously.
"Sakura, this is Virginia. She's going to be your new sister." Fujitaka led the young Virginia into the guestroom and placed her on the bed.
"New sister?" Sakura stared at Fujitaka in confusion.
Fujitaka closed the door and knelt down to eye-level with Sakura.
"Her Okaa-san and Otou-san asked me to take care of her because if she stayed with them she'd be in bad trouble," Fujitaka smiled at his daughter, "She hit her head and doesn't remember anything so you have to try to act like she's really your little sister."
"But that's lying! You told me never to lie,"
"Its okay to lie this time," Fujitaka said. "Promise not to tell?"
"Yes, otou-san," she said solemnly, putting her hand to her heart. "I promise"
--------------------
Her eyes opened to a blue ceiling. Wondering where she was, she slowly pushed herself off the bed. She tried to remember where she was but drew a blank. She glanced at her hands and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
'Who am I?'
She touched her face. She saw a sweet innocent little girl with big brown eyes and red hair.
The answer to her question came when the door opened and a girl with auburn colored hair walked in, holding a plate of food.
"Virginia-chan! You're awake!"
"Who...are you?" she said slowly. "Is my name Virginia?"
"Yup! You're my sister,"
"My sister? What's your name?"
"Don't you remember?" Sakura hit her head and said, "Silly me...Of course you don't remember. My name's Sakura and our surname's Kinomoto!"
"Why don't I remember?"
"Because you hit your head."
"Then how come I'm not in a hospital?"
"You were in the hospital but the doctors said you were okay, so they let you come home."
"Is this my room?"
"Yup!"
"How come its so plain?"
"Because we just moved in 2 weeks ago."
"Really?"
"Yup," Sakura said, nodding. "We have a brother too. His name's Touya but he had to go to England because people said he was a good singer."
(AN: yeah... he left Japan.... before Virginia woke up so yeah....)
"Really?"
"Yup!"
As if they were truly bonded by blood, they became as close as sisters. Sakura inwardly vowed to protect Virginia as long as she could, even if it cost her her life.
-----------------
A few weeks later, during the early morning hours (8 o clock?) , Sakura and Virginia were awakened by the sound of the doorbell.
Sakura and Virginia ambled out of their rooms still half asleep, reaching the door as their otou-san opened it.
At the entrance of their house stood a beautiful woman with ruby colored hair wearing a business suit. Around the woman were three adorable girls who appeared to be as old as Sakura.
One girl with curly brown hair clung onto the woman as if she would sink into the ground if she didn't. Her large brown eyes made her look simply adorable.
A purple-haired young lady who was dressed in a business suit similar to the lady's. She looked sophisticated yet cute nonetheless. She held the woman's hand.
Leaning on the doorframe in a rude position, was the last little girl. Her hair was in two meatballs. Unlike the other girls, who had innocent looks, She looked like she could kill you and get away with it.
The woman took a step forward. "Ohayo, my name is Sonomi. I'm your neighbor. I live next door in that mansion," Sonomi said, shaking Fujitaka's hand. "I just moved here a few days ago and I wanted to introduce myself."
Sonomi pushed the girls in front of her and pointed to the girl with purple hair.
"This is Tomoyo. She's my daughter."
"She's a beautiful girl," Fujitaka said, smiling.
Sonomi gestured to the girl clinging onto her, "This is Hermione. She's living at my house because her parents sent her here so she could learn Japanese. Unfortunately, her parents only had enough money to send her over here."
"Hello Hermione,"
"Hello Kinomoto-san" The browned-haired little girl spoke in perfect Japanese with no accent to speak of.
Fujitaka simply smiled at the girl and patted her head.
"This young lady," Sonomi said, pointing to the girl with the meat ball-styled hair. "Is Meilin. She's quite the little rebel."
"Pat my head and I'll bite your finger off!" Meilin said, glaring at the adult in front of her.
Sonomi sweatdropped as Fujitaka patted Meilin's head anyway.
"Do you mind baby sitting them? I'll pay you." Sonomi stated.
Fujitaka looked hesitant for a second, thinking that the three girls might cause trouble. Thinking about it some more, he decided that it might be nice for Virginia and Sakura to have new friends, so he accepted and Sonomi departed.
Sonomi walked back to her own house with a look of relief on her face. When Sonomi was inside her beautiful home once again, she sighed in relief.
"Thank goodness I finally got rid of those three."
-----------------------------
Kinomoto Residence
The three newcomers gazed at Sakura and Virginia as Sakura and Virginia stared back.
"I see that you have met my daughters, Sakura and Virginia." Fujitaka gently pushed Sakura and Virginia closer to the troublesome girls, "Why don't you five go play in Sakura's room while I bake some cookies?"
Sakura lit up as Virginia nodded. Fujitaka smiled at his two daughters and went into the kitchen. Sakura and Virginia began to walked up the stairs and gestured for the other girls to follow. Tomoyo and Hermione followed without hesitation while Meilin followed only because she had nothing else to do.
"My name's Kinomoto Sakura," Sakura said, bouncing up the stairs. She beamed.
"I'm Kinomoto Virginia. We're sisters!" Virginia spun around on the steps of the staircase, and would have fallen had Sakura not grabbed her.
"Be careful Ginia-chan," Concern was written all over Sakura's face, "You don't want to get hurt."
"You really shouldn't spin on the staircase like that," Tomoyo smiled up at Virginia, "It's fun but if you fall, then we'll fall with you and then we could DIE!"
"You can't die that easily...unless you land head first and break your neck." Hermione grinned.
"Let's go play outside... There's nothing to do in here!" Sakura began walking past the others down the stairs.
"Thats a good idea!"Virginia grinned, "We can play tag or play pranks on the snotty kids of the neighborhoods. They act so high and mighty just because they live in bigger houses than us."
"Pranks... that sounds fun," Meilin smirked, "Lets go fill water balloons with mud and throw 'em at them,"
Hermione shook her head, "Meilin, that's not dirty enough. If you really want them to start crying, we'll have to put a little bit of itch powder in those balloons."
"And we'll have to throw some stink bombs at them," Tomoyo glanced at her business suit, "But I'll have to change first. Oka-san would be upset if I got my clothes dirty,"
"Those are great ideas! But," Sakura paused. "We don't have itching powder or stink bombs or water balloons,"
Meilin took off her backpack and began emptying it out. She soon found a package of water balloons, a bag with mysterious blue powder, and a bag filled with little plastic bombs.
"I wasn't sent to live in Japan for nothing," Meilin grinned proudly, "Played one too many pranks and got the elders mad,"
"We'll go to the backyard and hide behind the fence. The snotty kids always come over here to tease us around this time in the morning." Virginia wanted to laugh just thinking about the look on Kai and Sai( the snotty kids)'s faces, "Tomo-chan, you can change out of your clothes in the bathroom over there," Virginia said, pointing to her right. Tomoyo nodded and walked towards the bathroom, carrying her backpack with her. The others went behind the fence in the backyard and prepared the water balloons.
A few minutes later, Tomoyo stepped outside, wearing a military uniform.
"Its time for revenge," she said, her eyes alight with malice.
-------_----_----_----
Sakura and Virginia stood at the other side of the fence as bait and, after a few minutes of waiting, Kai and Sai could be seen walking towards them with snobby smirks on their faces.
"Look!" Kai pointed at Sakura and Virginia, "It's ugliest girl of the neighborhood #1 and ugliest girl of the neighborhood #2."
"We're so offended," Virginia said sarcastically. "Why would we care what you think?"
"Because we're richer and at a higher rank that YOU!"
Sakura and Virginia snorted.
"No, you're not."
"You two are just jealous that our father is the president of play boy magazine," Kai said, and both laughed snidely.
"Ugh, they make me so mad," Virginia said loudly.
"THAT'S THE SIGNAL!" came a yell that sounded strangely like Hermione.
Virginia and Sakura ran away laughing as water balloons began to fell upon Sai and Kai.
"AHHHH!!!" Failing to run away, Sai and Kai began to itch themselves and cover their noses, "WE'LL GET YOU FOR THIS! MARK MY WORDS!"
Slipping on the mud a few times, they ran away.
Virginia and Sakura ran back into their backyard and were welcomed by three grinning girls.
"We make a great team," Meilin said, smiling. "I think we'll be good friends in the future."
Smiling at each other, they all agreed.
