The Living Doll
OK I tried to fix this chapter but I realized that it is just an annoying chapter so I'm going to work hard on the other ones and would love any help people can offer.
Disclaimer: You think that if I owned Naruto little kids would be able to read it…yeah right.
Chapter One: The Machine
Sasuke sighed out of sheer boredom. Their was nothing left to do in this stupid town, their were no knew attraction. It was just another Saturday wasted doing nothing at the mall that hadn't changed in 10 months unless you count getting rid of the few entertaining places.
"Um…excuse me sir… you've been standing in front of our store for awhile now and the manager is getting kind of nerves so…. Um…I'm supposed to ask you to either buy something or leave." A girl stuttered from the store entrance.
Sasuke swiftly moved from his spot on the wall, causing the girl to shield her face in fear of getting hit. He looked back at her for an instant, taking in her fear, he hmphed and said "I'm out of here." He started to walk towards the arcaded as the girl collapsed were she stood.
When he arrived where the arcaded was he stood shocked for a moment. A new store was in place. 'Why hadn't I noticed this?' he wondered to himself as he went to find the manager of the new place.
"Excuse me but can you tell me what happened to old man Jiriaya's video game arcade?" he asked when he finally found someone. The guy was one of the weirdest persons he had ever seen. He had some weird kind of face make-up on, a strange cat hat, and a jumper outfit. 'Guess he didn't want to be your average goth…'
"Huh? Oh you mean that this was an arcade. That would explain a lot…" the man called Kankurou muttered to himself. "Sorry but that place was close down around the 3rd of last month. Oh, but their was this one game left if you want to play it you can, you know just for memories…" he dragged on as he led Sasuke to the back were only employees were supposed to go. "All right here it is."
"…You have got to be kidding…" He stood staring at one of those stupid doll grabbing games with the claw. (AN: I forgot what they were called)
"Go for it kid. I have to go back up front before I get yelled at." He said as he threw a coin a Sasuke and turned to walk out.
'Oh well, might as well.' He thought to himself as he walked over to the machine and looked around inside of it. 'That's strange, I've never seen this one before.' Oh course he had never really been into these kinds of games preferring the one person shooter games when ever he came in. For some strange reason their was one particular stuffed doll that seemed to call out to him. It had spiky felt blonde hair with goggles, a orange t-shirt that covered it like a dress, it had claw marks on it face that seemed very strange for a doll, and the painted on alluring blue eyes that seemed to drawl him in. 'I'm gonna get that one.'
'All right here we go.' he thought as he put the coin in the slot and moved the controller till the claw got right above the doll and dropped the claw it hooked around the doll looking as if it would grab it by the arm before it slipped off.
"What." He stated in a shocked angry voice as he watched as the claw move to the slot and dropped nothingness. (AN: Doesn't it piss you off when that happens and then it's like its mocking you by going through the steps anyway. "Wow, look what you got. That's right nothing!") He began to rummage through his pockets, searching for any spare change he might have. Finally he found a coin but if he didn't get it this time he'd have to ask the guy up front to break a dollar. He went through the steps again till he got the claw right above the doll again dropping it and watched as it grabbed it around the neck, tugging at it as if it were stuck, then it pulled the doll out and started to move towards the slot before the doll dropped… still in the machine.
Sasuke had a feeling he'd develop a twitch by the time he got the doll. He thought on this as he walked up to the front till he stood in front of the Kankurou guy and asked in a monotone voice "can you break a five."
He stood their a little shocked before he said "Sure." He took the five and paused right above the cash register and turned to Sasuke with a grin. "Quarters, right?" Sasuke blushed a little before nodding. When Kankurou handed him the quarters he bolted for the machine.
'I'm going to get it this time.' He thought to himself as he positioned the claw right above the doll again and dropped it but then the claw clamped up in midair. 'Yep here comes the twitching. Damn machine, when I get that doll I'm going to kill you.' He thought as he bought out another coin. Once again going through the steps moving the claw above the doll glaring at it the whole time, just daring the machine to do something, as he pushed the button to drop the claw. The claw clamped around the dolls torso, picking it up, and moved it to above the slot and dropped the doll in.
"Yes" he shouted happily to himself as he bent over to pick the doll out of the slot. He still had his grin on his face as he stared at the doll in his hand. Then it hit him. "What the hell am I going to do with a doll?" he asked himself in a dumb founded voice. He walked to the front of the store in a daze when suddenly Kankurou stopped him.
"Here I'll put that in a bag for you so you don't look like some freak carrying a dolly" he said trying to hide a grin as he took the doll and put it in a store bag.
As soon as he got the bag he left the store and had directly for the nearest exit, still in a bit off a daze. He was lucky enough to arrive at the bus stop at the exact moment the bus did. People were staring at him the entire ride home but he didn't pay any attention to them. He began to think about what had happened at the store while sitting on the bus. 'What the hell came over me?' he thought as he stared out his window when it suddenly occurred to him that it was almost his stop.
(AN: Buses bore me so this may seemed rushed but its mainly because I hate riding in buses so I get in a daze and time flies by quickly, which is the effect I'm going for but its not working to well.)
After Sasuke got off the bus he began to walk the short two and a ½ blocks to his house. He began to rummage through his pockets, which were weighed down by quarters, for his keys to his house. As he was about to insert the key into the lock the door suddenly was thrown open by none other than his older brother.
"…Itachi? I thought you were still at collage." Sasuke stated in a stocked voice.
"…"
"What." Sasuke asked in an angered voice after a couple of seconds of his brother staring at him like he was the freak.
"Why do you have a shopping bag from a sex store?"
"…" Sasuke took a quick look at the bag he was carrying for the first time, since he had been too lost in his mind about his reaction to the doll earlier, and found that on the bag was the name of the store and a short sentence describing what the store sold. '…That would explain all the funny looks I've been getting…' He look up to see Itachi with one eyebrow up looking at him quizzically, making him blush as he realized what the bag implied.
"So what did my little brother buy?" He asked in a mocking tone as a slight smirk appeared.
A studded look crossed over Sasuke's face as Itachi went to grab the bag. He jerked the bag out of Itachi's grasp as he shouted, "None of your fucking business."
'I'd rather him think I was a pervert than him find out that he had gotten a doll…'Sasuke thought as he quickly went to his room and slammed the door behind him, locking it to make sure no one would come in to bug him. After he made sure no was around he once again turned his attention to the bag in his hand. He took the doll out of the offensive bag, quickly throwing the item away, and fully examining the doll since he got it out of the machine. He noticed their was a tag on it and began to read it.
Treat them with care, never let them fall into despair, and they will always be their.

"You have got to be kidding…" he mumbled to himself before he threw it onto the table besides his bed. He sighed as he rummaged through his clothes till he found some dark blue pajama pants, which he quickly changed into, turned off the lights, and went to bed.
He slept rather peacefully that night, considering that Itachi was in the house, in fact it was the best he had slept in three years. The whole time unaware of what was happening…
NEXT DAY
Sasuke awoke to the sound of birds as the sun shown into the room. He grunted and turned away from the sun and came in contact with a partially large pillow. 'I didn't think I had a pillow this big' he thought as he threw his arms around the pillow, which was when he found out the pillow was breathing.
His eyes shot open quick as he bolted out of the bed pulling the covers with him. He stared at the form in the bed for a second. It was a boy, about his age, with spiky blonde hair and a pair of goggles on his head wearing nothing but a baggy orange shirt. 'He seems familiar but were would I have meet him before?'
The boy, now awoken from his slumber, turned to Sasuke rubbing his eye with one hand like a cat as if he is trying to wake up. "Good morning." He said in a sleepy adorable voice before he yawned and stretched, causing Sasuke to blush and twitch at his nonchalance.
I know how lame the 'Forever Buddies' name was but I went brain dead…The funny thing about this all is that the reason I
got the idea for this story was when my friends tried to get an Eddy Monster doll out of one of those machines and failed
many times till my friend Madwren came and got it on her first try. Then she went and tried to get this doll that they said
looked like me (which pissed me off) and the machine decided to be evil (ok maybe I was wishing for it to happen) just like the one I made in the story.
