Saiunkoku (Love Potion)

chapter 5

The night grew cold and the wind blew as, Niji Hikari was pulled with a gothic stranger into the night. "Where are we going?" Niji Hikari asked. The gothic stranger turned to look at her. She pulls off the hoody. "It's me. Kuro. I'm taking you to my sister. She will help you."

***

At a dark and gloomy looking house, a young lady wearing long fancy black clothing with a long witch hat on. The dark woman was pouring liquid in a large pot. The steam rose up in the air as, the dark woman laughed with delight. The walls her painted red with golden designs on them. The room was dim with fancy lanterns.

Just then, she was interrupted when two ladies came rushing in. "KIRA?! KIRA?!" Kira turns around with annoyance. "WHAT?! I thought I told you to knock first?" "I'm sorry but this is an emergency." Her sister Kuro said feeling bad.

"Hey Niji?" Kuro turns to her friend. This is my sister Kira. "Hello." Niji said feeling nerves. They suddenly hear footsteps from behind Kira. "Welcome back Safaia. Have you giving the potions to the other women out there who asked for it." "I DID!" The lady wearing long fancy red cloths said smirking and resting her hand on her waist. Kuro turns to Niji Hikari smiling. "And that's my sister's best friend Safaia." She's kinda cool." Safaia steps in smiling with joy hugging her. "Awwww thank you." Then, she turns to Niji Hikari. "And you are?" Niji Hikari steps forward. "I'am Niji Hikari. Your-your friend's sister brought me here."

Safaia's eyes widen with worry. "Oh this must be serious." She stops hugging Kuro. "You must be here to see Kira." Kuro steps in. "We are." Kira puts her potions away in the cabinet. "So what can I help you with?" She lifts a brow.

"It's my friend Hikari." Kuro crosses her arms narrowing her eyes with frustration. "She's having a boyfriend problem. His name is Ryuuki Shi and he's an idiot." Niji Hikari looks up at Kira with sadness. "Kira? Do you think you can help me?" "Help you?" The dark sorcerous began to fly up in the air twirling around with delight. Dark magic few the air with cards, roses, and bunnies flying out. "Of course I can help you." Kira lands down leaning on the table resting her hands on her chin smirking. She stops leaning. "All you need is a secret potion." The dark lady said smirking.

Kira, Safaia, and Kuro all jumped up as, they heard knocking on their door. "All the girls on the block knocking at my door." They quickly opened their door. "Wanna know what it is, make the boys want more?"

Kira walks over and leans on an old statue of a young man. "Here's your lover. Playing on your side." Kira leans on the statue more making it look as if, the man was holding her. "Said he loves you but he ain't got time." She closes her eyes for a few seconds shacking her head back and forth. She walks over to the women waiting patiently for their potions. "So here's the answer." Kira points her finger up. "So come and get it. I'll knock you down a price." Kira tosses some bottles of her potions out to the desperate women. The women grabbed them with their eyes widen with joy and they ran off with excitement.

Kira takes out a jar of honey showing Kuro, Safaia, and Niji Hikari. "Full of honey, just to make them sweet." Kira takes out rainbow crystals. "Crystal balling, just to help him see, what he's been missing. So come and get it." Kira jumps up and starts to dance with Safaia and Kuro following along. "While you still got time."

They all entered the outside on the streets seeing every woman using her secret potion making the men go crazy. Kira, Safaia, and Kuro continued dancing. Kira takes out her secret potion allowing Niji Hikari to see it. The dark potion bottle was shaped like a heart with pink sparkles and red liquid inside it. Kira waves it back and forth. Kira steps over to a couple. A woman and a man looking away from the woman feeling annoyed. Kira rests her arms on the sad woman. "Get your boy on his knees and repeat after me, say take a sip from my secret potion, I'll make you fall in love. From a spell that can't be broken."
