A Kiss That Kills
Authoress: cookiiex
Chapter FiVE: The Initals

Sakura looked up with a paler face. What did Tsunade just say? "W-what? What did you say Tsunade-sama?"she whispered, struggling to compose herself from slapping the shit out of everyone (she thinks it's a joke).

The blond women sighed, but it was expected that the pink haired girl wouldn't understand. " Sasuke.. he's going to have seven days or so to live." Sakura fell on her knees, tears streaming out of her eyes. ' N-no.. He can't..' she closed her eyes and took a long breath.

Rubbing her knuckles against her eyes in an attempt to dry her eyes, she stood up and requested to see Sasuke. Tsunade let her pass and she entered the plain white room. One look at the person in the hospital bed and her attampt to dry her eyes were in vain.

"Sasuke-kun.." she murmured as she sat on the chair next to the bed. She looked at the clipborad placed on the desk next to the bed. Skimming over the paper, tears leaked. There was a poison in him. It was eating away at his liver and at one of his kidneys. It wasn't any other poinson. But somthing was not right..

.. This poison it was dangerous. Once in one's blood you'd die instantly. Then.. why was it so.. weak here? Earlier Tsunade had told her they had taken a sample of his blod to examinate. Came back at 100 percent pure poison. But wouldn't Sasuke be, dear kami, dead already?

Her eyebrows narrowed in fustration. Unless there was something .. something slowing it down. 'Bingo.' a voice said. Her eyes widened. " Nani! Who's.. who's there?" She stood up in such speed that the chair she was sitting ing fell over. Sakura looked around only to find that the only people in the room was Sasuke and herself. She was just about to look around again only to have Tsunade tell her it was getting late and visiting hours were over.

'Sakura, girl get yourself together!' Her mind screamed. She sat on her bed in her pink pajamas hugging her pillow to her chest. The tears she cried was getting her pillow wet. The moon's light that was coming through window illuminated her figure creating a shadow. 'Sasuke-kun..'

Her eyes narrowed, glaring at nothing particular. That voice were did it come from? It's been about six hours since she heard from it. It didn't answer since then.

'Are you done pondering you stupid girl?' Sakura's eyes shot open. It's back. "What..what do you want?" she answer with demanding tone. She heard the voice chuckling, but than it cackled.

' Hmm, didn't I tell you not to kiss your little boyfriend?' . Sakura then screamed into her pillow. In reply she heard the voice laugh somemore and when it/he/she stopped, Sakura could almost feel it smirking. Sakura growled. "Do I friggin' know you?" she said icily.

As soon as she said that a bright light blinded her for a moment but then revealed a figure. A figure of a woman. She gasped. "You're the.. you're the.. ". The lady looked at her lazily. 'Yes the shopkeeper.'

Sakura's mouth probably hit the ground. The lady glared. 'Close your mouth stupid!'. Sakura instanly regained her attention on the lady. "Why are you here?" Sakura whispered. The shopkeeper frowned. 'And I thought you were a smart cookie, but you're just as dumb as the last one.'

Sakura glared. "You.. you don't know me. You don't ever underestimate a kunochi, especially not me!" Then she lunged at the shopkeeper. But something unexpected happened. Sakura's eyes widened. 'N-no way..'.

She just went through the shopkeeper like she was thin air. In fact that was what she is. She was not human. Sakura fell to the ground. Turning around, she saw the shopkeeper looking at her with an annoyed expression. ' Get off your ass stupid girl. You can't touch one not from your world.'. 'Oh what a shocker.' Sakura thought dryly. The shopkeeper ran her hand through her waist long hair.

"Look I don't know why you--". 'You know damn well why I'm here. With that idiotic brain of your's I guess you couldn't put two and two together.' The shopkeeper was obviously not thrilled to be here. ' Now before you left didn't I say not to kiss anyone?'. She rubbed her temples. ' Girls are so mentally challenged in this century.' Sakura stood up and sat on her bed.

She looked at the shopkeeper with suspiscion. Who is she? The shopkeeper seemed to have read her mind. 'My name is Echigo Kyoto.'. Sakura blinked. "Nice to meet you Echigo-san, Haruno Sakura desu.". The shopkeeper smiled weakly. Sakura was awed. The moonlight that hit Kyoto's pale skin made it seem like she was glowing. Sakura had to admit even though she could be rude, she was stunning. 'Kind of like Tsunade-sama.' Sakura pondered.

Kyoto looked at Sakura. Somehow this girl she could help Kyoto. Kyoto's squinted her eyes. She can't kill this one off yet, she maybe of some use. Unlike the others.

'So.. do you want to save your boyfriend or what?'. Sakura blinked in disbelief. "W-What..?". Kyoto repeated her sentence again. "Really?" Sakura's eyes hheld sparkles of joy. Kyoto scratched her neck. 'I could but ... you have to use that small brain of yours.'. Sakura glared. "What are you calling small?" Althought it should have came out nasty, Kyoto laughed.

'You were just like Yumi-chan...before she..' Kyoto then found the ground fairly interesting. Sakura took a guess. "Was she...killed?" .Kyoto stared into space. 'Not exactly.' Kyoto got up and picked up the lipstick from Sakura's makeup box. The next few words shocked Sakura.

'She was sealed.. in this..'

It was an hour later after Kyoto explained the story of her friend. Sakura struggled with her wrods, hoping they weren't going to offend Kyoto. " So.. you sell this to girls in hope they can unseal your friend and bring the boy and girl together.." Kyoto nodded.

Sakura puffed out her cheeks. "So I'm assuming none had suceeded. Kyoto looked over to her. 'No shit sherlock.'. Sakura glared. "Then what happened to the girls?". Kyoto took a deep breath. ' Well.. once the boy dies the girl seems to follow.'. Sakura's eyes narrowed. 'What.. they commited suicide?' .

Kyoto shook her head. 'No.. they kind of.. how do you say.. have their soul connected. THh poison is not a simple one, I'll tell you that much. Apparently Yumi-chan was a smart one. She probably went to a dark miko and casted a spell on it. When sharing a simple kiss, the spell reveals itself by connecting the two souls together. Though you might not know it you are tied with the one you were kissing. You may not feel what the other's pain or feelings, when one leaves the earth the other one is near it's time too.' She paused before starting again. 'That's probably why Kasumi-chan died the following morning. The morning Yumi was sealed.'

Sakura narrowed her eyes at Kyoto. "Echigo-san-- ". 'Call me Kyoto-chan, you make me feel old.' .Sakura surpressed a giggle. "Kyoto-chan, you had nothing to do with this why don't you go on?". Kyoto smiled sadly and shook her head. 'I can't... Yumi-chan, Kasumi-chan, Meiji-kun, they.. they are what keep me going. Maybe in another universe we can be together again..'. Sakura nodded in understanding. They were childhood friends anyway, it's only logical.

Sakura stood up. 'S-Sakura-chan?'. "Kyoto-chan I will help you. I swear to you, you will she your friends again or I'm not Haruno Sakura." The pink haired girl swore. "You name it. What do I have to do?" Sakura asked. Kyoto took the bag, the lipstick came in. Kyoto pointed at the four letters on the bag. BABH.

'These are intials of the words of my shop. What you have to do is figure out what the are.'

TBC..
