From Another World (Sasuke x OC)

Chapter 37: The Odd Final Task

(Lily's P.O.V)

'We're screwed...'

"This is gonna be h-"

I run over to Samui's brother, Atsui, and put my hand over his mouth before he could finish.

"Listen, don't say another word if you can help it!"

I yell.

"What's happening, Samui?"

Darui asks.

"We've had a combination curse and sealing jutsu placed on us... They've taken our souls hostage. If we speak the the word we've said the most times in our life, we'll be sucked into that gourd and sealed away for good!"

I explain.

'I'm glad that I read about this back when I was at Orochimaru's hideout. And if I remember correctly, Samui's/my word is 'cool'. If I don't say that, I'll be fine.'

"Well you're in the know. I guess times revealed our secrets."

Kinkaku says.

"So the word you say the most is taboo? That's just a stupid game for little kids... That's so drab!"

Darui mocks. I see Atsui looking panicked, probably trying to figure out what his word is.

*Sigh* "You really shouldn't need to think to hard... It's obvious."

The brothers attack us with fire. Darui and I dodge it, but Atsui gets burned a little.

"Ahh it's too HOT!"

'Idiot!'

Atsui gets sucked into the gourd. Ginkakau puts me in a headlock from behind. Kinkaku starts yaking pointless things before Darui cuts off his left arm. Darui then attacks Ginkaku while managing to avoid hitting me, helping me get free.

"Whatever, I'll just take care of this girl first!"

Ginkaku yells.

'What does he-'

I suddenly feel something pulling me. And before I realize what was going on, I get sucked into the gourd.

"Hey, lady, wakeup already!"

Someone yells while shaking me.

"I'm up. I'm up. Now cut it out!"

I yell and open my eyes. I see Atsui's face inches away from my own.

"Atsui, why are you so close?"

I ask.

"Wait, how do you know my name?"

"Knock it off, Atsui. I'm Samui. Or did you forget your own sisters name?"

I joke, but Atsui looks shocked.

"Samui!? Is that really you!?"

"Yes it's me, who else would I be?"

"Just look at yourself! You look totally different!!"

He yells. I look down, and find that I've turned back to normal.

"Uhh... Forget about it. Where are we anyways?"

"Oh were inside the gourd. I took a look around before you got here, but all I could find were skeletons... Are we gonna die here!?"

"I don't know, Atsui."

A bright light suddenly appears above us and Ginkaku falls down by us, unconscious. The the light disappears.
