Dolls on a Shelf

Chapter One: +Bye Bye, Dollikins+


(Uo's POV)

"Damn." I cursed under my breath. "What the hell happened to me last night?"

Trying at several more unsuccessful attempts to make out where I was, I groaned and collapsed on the bed, irritated at my failure.

I know for a fact I wasn't out drinking. I was with Tohru and Hana, and Tohru would never let me do something as stupid as underage drink.

"TOHRU!" I yelled a few minutes later, finally realizing the possibility—no, she couldn't have…Nah, she's not as careless as me. But…what if, no. She couldn't have been kidnapped. Wait, am I kidnapped? So many probabilities are going through my head; I don't know what to think anymore! But, this room, I don't notice it. I didn't come here on my own. Damn. I've been kidnapped! A former gang member, kidnapped! That means that Hana and Tohru probably are too. Hana can take care of herself, with her and her poisonous denpa, but Tohru's defenseless, even as daughter of the legendary red butterfly!

"DAMMIT!" I yelled, slamming my fist on the table next to me. "A table?" I whispered to myself. I didn't notice it before. I looked down at it, and turned on the reading lamp that was placed on it. How could I miss something as clear as a table with a lamp? Other than the lamp there was a small tray. It had pictures of various animals such as a tiger, a rat, and an ox. Oh, I get it; it's the animals of the zodiac! I wonder what the other doodles are for. Things like, a rice ball, or a black flower. On the tray filled with these drawings, there was a clear glass fish. "What the hell…why a fish?" I verbally thought to myself, but decided to shrug it off, and find a way out of here.

Ha. Who would've guessed? A door that I so obliviously missed was also in the room. I walked over to it, and tried to turn the knob. Great. It was locked. I was pretty stupid to think that I could just waltz right out of here.

Crash!

My head spun around to see what the hell that noise was. There was a person with me, which wasn't here before. I couldn't make out if the person was a male or female, all I could tell was that its fist just slammed down on the glass fish, shattering it to peices.

"Do you want to die?" the figure asked coldly.

WHAT THE HELL KINDA QUESTIONS IS THAT! OF COURSE NO—

"Yes." To my surprise, my voice was acting upon itself.

"Then I'll give you what you want." The figure said as it stepped into the light of the reading lamp.

"Hey, why're you—GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"




Meanwhile, with Tohru

"Oh mum, how did I get here? I fell asleep with Hana and Uo-chan, but now I don't know where I am." Tohru said, while holding a picture of her mother. She took a glance at the table next to her and looked a bit puzzled. She didn't notice a small tray there before, but there it was, right before her eyes.

"Oh mum, look! It's the thirteen members of the zodiac. I'm so happy, it even includes the cat!" Tohru said as she examined the tray. "Oh, but look, it looks like there was a fish, but it's been marked off, I wonder why." Her eyes then saw the small glass onigiri on the tray. "Awww, how cute."

She suddenly turned her head in surprise as the door (which she hadn't noticed) slightly opened. She carefully hopped to her feet and walked out the door. Seeing another door across the hall, she crept up to it, trying her best to not make any noise. The doorknob squeaked as she turned it, but, when she finally got the courage to actually open the door…

CONK!

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"


With Kyo

Kyo sat there, glaring holes into the glass cat sitting upon the tray.

"WHAT THE HELL KINDA SICK JOKE IS THIS! I bet this was that DAMN RATS DOING! He's tryin' to mock me! IF HE WANTS ME TO KICK HIS PRETTY BOY FACE, ALL HE HAS TO DO IS ASK!" Kyo abruptly stopped his rant when he heard a squeaking noise. It was coming from the door.

There was a door there?

He immediately went up to it, getting ready to open it, thinking it was the damn rat that did this to him, when…

CONK!

The door slammed open and hit him square in the head.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! KYO-KUN! I'M SO SORRY! I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS YOU!"

Kyo finally coming to his senses, noticed whose voice that was. "Tohru?"

Tohru just smiled and nodded, "Man, am I glad to see you, I thought you were that damn rat—"

"You thought she was who?" Asked the said person.

"Why the hell would you put that in my room!" Kyo yelled pointing at the small glass kitten.

"That wasn't me, you stupid cat."



"Oh yeah!? THEN WHO THE HELL WAS IT!?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

"BECAU—"

"Um, I don't think this is a time to be fighting guys…" Tohru said, trying to stop them.

"Miss Honda is right, we should try and focus on finding out if there are any others."

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Did you guys hear that?"

"Of course we heard it you stupid cat!"

They both stopped when they noticed Tohru's eye grow wide.

"Miss Honda, what is it?"
"T-that sounded like U-Uo-chan's voice."

"I guess it did sound like that Yankee"

"Now Miss Honda, let's not jump to conlu—" But before Yuki could finish his sentence, Tohru had already started to run towards the sound, and of course, Kyo and Yuki followed.

And just like that, there were nineteen

With a bloodied room, that needed to be clean

End of Chapter One

Dollikins: A Fabulous, Education-related doll, that virtually duplicated all parts of the body. This doll, unlike others, had no face paint, or variety of hair colors, like the straight legged dolls people were used to before the Dollikins came out.

I made Uo the Dollikins because, unlike most girls her age, she doesn't wear make-up, and doesn't seem the care too much on her outside beauty. Which makes her different from the stuck up girls at her school.

Haha. Stuck up girls equals Straight legged dolls.
