Disclaimer: Oh, stop reminding me.
Her small, smooth hands typed away at the laptop.
Yohel de Ji
"You spelt it wrong." She did her best not to shudder at the voice, seeing as it was right next to her.
Her lips pursed together. It was just the second day of this project and he had managed to make her uncomfortable too many times already.
"Thank you for that." She said through clenched teeth.
She resumed typing, trying to ignore the male beside her that was breathing quite heavily on her shoulder.
She typed the name of the curse again, making sure she did it correctly this time, as she didn't need Uchiha Sasuke to correct her every mistake.
She scrolled down the page, looking at the various titles for links to other websites.
UNKNOWN CURSE FRIGHTENS ALL
She clicked.
What she read next had frightened her. "Horrific incidents have occurred in the country of the Mist. Women are being declared as dead because doctors can do nothing to help them. An example is Hana, last name is unknown, who's doctor had his arm burned off when he went to touch her. She died of severe blood loss. This has occurred in other woman as well, and a total of seven women have died from this. "
She gasped. "What?"
She opened her mouth to speak, only to find no words would come out. Realizing she was too shocked to speak, Sasuke leaned over, (even closer than he was before), and soon his cheek and hers were touching, their lips only centimeters apart.
"Police have been investigating these strange and deadly occurrences. All investigations lead to what is now known as the first incident of this terrible disease, where a girl named Jiya, (last name unknown), was marked by a man who has been dubbed Mokar, meaning evil being in another foreign language."
"Why…" Sasuke figured she was too much in shock to notice their positions, and so his hand soon found itself resting on her thigh.
"Jiya's corpse showed she had died of blood loss, seeing as her wrist was slit. Her back bore a symbol that is most likely Mokar's family clan symbol. Witnesses say that this ritual involves mixing the blood of two people and then painting the male's clan symbol onto the back of the woman he wishes to bond with. Of course, most of these "bonds" are forced. Witnesses recall seeing a dagger involved, but were unsure of the other object that was involved in this bonding. Mokar was found for dead a few weeks later, his wrist also slit."
"I think I'm gonna barf."
"The two bodies were tested, and many were shocked when whenever scientists cut a part of Jiya's body, Mokar received the same cut, and vise versa."
"So… if something happens to one person, it happens to the other person too?" Sasuke asked her, even though he knew the answer.
"I… oh my god this is disgusting."
"I'll be right back." He whispered into her ear, hearing the back door open. The last thing he needed was for Sakura to see Neji.
Sakura nodded, feeling relieved as Sasuke was no longer touching her. She copied and pasted the information from the website onto Word, and then went back to the search page. Her eyes glanced at the screen, her green orbs flickering back and forth from the door to the screen, hoping Sasuke wasn't back.
EXPEDITIONERS FOUND POSSIBLE WEAPONS FOR RITUAL BONDING
She clicked.
THREE PEOPLE WERE SPOTTED GOING INTO A CAVE AND BRINGING OUT ITEMS MADE OF GOLD. A CLOSEUP (below) SHOWS A GOLDEN DAGGER THAT IS RUMORED TO BE THE WEAPON USED FOR THE RITUAL "YOHIL DE JILIN AS MOKAIN".
Her eyebrows furrowed. 'Is this what they use to cut those girls?'
THE TOURIST WHO TOOK THIS SHORT SAID THE THREE MEN GOT AWAY, BUT HE WAS ABLE TO TAKE A BLURRY PHOTOGRAPH.
Her eyes widened when she scrolled down to see the picture.
She gasped.
'Oh my God! Is that Sasuke?'
"What happened?" Her eyes widened future and she rushed to close the window. She saw him narrow his eyes, telling her that he was suspicious.
'You can do this Sakura. Play it off.'
"Oh, um, nothing. I was just… checking some mail, and I heard you come in! I don't like letting others see my emails… privacy, ya know?
'Okay. Good. That sounded like it worked. Maybe he bought it.'
He nodded slowly.
'Crap, maybe he didn't… umm…'
"Are you sure Sakura?" He whispered, putting his hands on her shoulders, and pulling her body closer to his, the couch being their only barrier.
"Um… yea." Crap, at this rate he was going to figure out the truth.
'The truth that he's probably going to use that ritual thingy on me??'
"Um, where's your bathroom?" She said quickly, wanting to get away.
He raised an eyebrow. "Down that hallway, three doors to your right."
She crawled out of his grip and ran down the hallway, proving her more suspicious. He sat down on the couch and opened Internet Explorer, and clicked the "History" button.
She stared at herself in the mirror, trying to calm her nerves.
'Relax Sakura. That might not even be him!'
A knock on the door surprised her, making her jump.
"Sakura?"
'Crap it's Sasuke!'
"… Yes?" She squeaked. Wow, someone sounded like a five-year-old.
"… Did you find any more information on that curse?"
'SHIT!'
"Um, no, why?"
"Hn, just wondering."
She heard footsteps walking away from the door, leaving her relieved.
She had to get out of here.
She fixed her hair and pretended she actually did something in the bathroom instead of talking to herself like a crazy person, and sighed.
"But him being there would explain how he already knew about the curse…" She mumbled to herself. She sighed again, rolled back her shoulders, and soon was ready to go.
BAM!
She screamed as the same dagger she saw in the photographs was staring back at her though a hole it made through the door.
'Ready for the chase Sakura?'
Wow… fastest update ever, anyone?
When I was ready to update this, wouldn't let me upload the document because they were making upgrades (why??) but I FOUND a way around it and UPLOADED the document WHILE upgrades were still in progress! I just went to Edit/Preview, and used an old document I still had, erased all the writing on the previous document, and copied and pasted this chapter onto there! Am I smart or what? :p Jk.
Please review.
Love,
Iv
