The Girl in The Doll's House

By Lunatic Heart

Sometimes I wonder whether this life is worth living. What is my purpose in life? Why was I born? They always say that you are born for someone. But I don't believe that. All the people I meet look at me with that stupid look of sympathy on their faces. They always treat me like I'm helpless. I hate it, I really do. My parents died last month in a car crash. At the time I was at Tokyo's Alice Academy of Music. Everything was going well until then. I was respected and seen as a talented pianist. But when they died my whole world turned upside down. I couldn't pay to stay at the academy so they kicked me out. Of course I didn't leave quietly. I made a huge riot. But now thinking back on it, what was the point? My dream was already dead when they got into that damn car. They left me with nothing, in other words, I'm a penniless orphan. An orphan with a dream, nonetheless. I don't have any relatives either. So basically life sucks. I'd rather be at the same place that my parents are. I know I'm going to die anyway, I haven't eaten for weeks. I've been stumbling around, walking to nowhere. The only thing I have left in my possession is the things I took from the Academy, which isn't a lot. I sighed, so tired, so hungry.

I collapsed on the gravel floor as I stared up at the pitch black sky. God, if you can hear me. Save me from hell. Or at least let me die.
I swear god hates me. He never listens. He won't listen to someone like me. I look like a tramp, a dirty tramp. I want to get out of here; I want to find a safe haven. But my legs feel numb. I struggled to get up as I lazily trudged forward. I was aimlessly wandering with no destination. But I guess it was better than waiting for death to creep up on you. I stopped as I came to a huge metal gate in front of me. I touched the bars and squinted my eyes to look inside. No lights on at all. I pulled the gate and to my surprise it opened with ease. I watched it open as I took a hesitant step forward. It was dark so it was hard to see in front of me but I could tell that this house was very big. It looked like a doll house, which was kinda odd. But it did. I followed the steps to the front door as I looked at the doorbell. Why am I even here? Aren't they just going to send me away when they see me? I took a deep breath, seriously, I didn't care. I didn't bother ringing the door bell as the door opened easily without doing so. They really needed to improve their security.

I stepped inside and looked around. There was a creepy aura about the air that made my spine tingle. Maybe this house was haunted? That could make it more interesting. I was in a mansion; who ever lived here was exceedingly rich. I turned to the left as I came to a single door. The architecture of the door was very spectacular and mesmerising. I touched it as the door burst open. That's when I first saw her. A beautiful brunette sitting by the windowpane in a White dress that fell just above her knees. She looked like an angel. I blinked realising that I was a stranger in somebody else's house. She turned her head to me a questioning look on her face. She was going to kick me out. I was going back to the streets. Or she was going to yell at me. Either was bad. She stood up her hair swaying in rhythm to her steps.

"Have a shower in there please."

I did not expect that kind of response. Maybe she was disgusted in the way I looked. I really needed a wash though and didn't give a second thought to her request. She pointed to a separate door as I walked in.

I rubbed my hair with the towel that was in her bathroom as I looked back at myself in the mirror. I hadn't seen this reflection for a very long time. Though I hadn't looked in a single mirror since then. I stared at my reflection; I could see the pain reflected in my eyes. I sighed; there was no point to now start to be depressed. I put down the towel as I walked out. The girl was at the first place I saw her, staring absentmindedly in the window. She heard my footsteps as she turned her head towards me and smiled.

"Ah, you're done," she kept the smile permanently there.

I still didn't understand why this girl was acting so calm. For all she knew I could have been a rapist or something. Was she stupid? She patted her hand on her bed signalling for me to sit there. I did as she wanted as I sat there feeling slightly confused and awkward. This girl was very weird, an airhead, and maybe even an idiot. That's what I got from meeting her for only a few minutes. Strange girl, indeed. I looked down at the floor not knowing whether to speak or what to say.

"So what are you doing here?" she questioned.

Now she asked that. She's kind of slow.

"Sorry for intruding," I stood up ready to leave when she grabbed the corner of my shirt and shook her head.

Then my stomach made the hugest grumbling noise it could ever make. I stayed there frozen to the spot trying not to let my embarrassment show through. She then broke the silence with her hysterical giggling. She made me want to laugh with her. I haven't laughed in such a long time.

"I'll go get you some food," she said as she stood up and disappeared through the door.

This girl seemed to be quite unaware that I was a stranger. She couldn't get it through her head. But I was glad that she didn't chase me out. I looked around the room as the door creaked open and she came back with a plateful of sandwiches. My stomach grumbled again for the tenth time since she left. She passed it to me as I took one and started to eat. God, maybe you did listen, just a little.

"What's your name then," she asked, "And why are you here."

I looked at her as I took another bite out of my sandwich.

"Bob," I said mocking her, but she didn't seem to notice that I was being sarcastic.

She gasped her mouth opened as her eyes widened, "Really? Are you like half Japanese half American then?"

Wow, she actually believed that. Talk about gullible. I snorted and was about to correct her when she told me her name.

"Mikan Sakura," she said as she gave out her hand for me to shake.

I stared at it wondering what to do. Shake it, of course. I did so but very reluctantly as I looked down at the half eaten sandwich in my lap.

"I was looking for somewhere to sleep. I'm an orphan so I've been wandering around for ages," I stood up again, "I shouldn't have come here, sorry."

She laughed at me, a beautiful laugh that imprinted itself inside my memory. And for some reason I found it extremely annoying. I narrowed my eyes at her as she stopped laughing.

"It's ok, if you've got nowhere else to go then just stay here. I'll be glad for you to be here."

Was she being serious? She was actually inviting me to stay here? Right. Though, I couldn't let this pass.

"Where are the other people?" I questioned.

Her face fell as her smile was replaced with sadness. I looked at her now wondering why her emotions had changed from just talking about that.

"They're away," she said trying to avoid the subject, "But you can stay here. But only for 7 days."

I looked at her quizzically, the smile was now there but there was still a hint of sadness clinging onto her. Even if she tried to hide it, to me it was blatantly obvious.

"Why 7?" I asked.

Her mask was beginning to crack. Even though I hardly knew this girl I was beginning to wonder about her. She was very pretty, but a girl living by herself in a house this big was strange. It was not right. She looked away her fringe shielding her eyes.

"Just because. There's somewhere I have to go on that day," she said as she looked up and smiled.

Why that was smile so sad. I could tell she wanted to move on to another conversation. So I did.

"Is there a catch?" I enquired.

She laughed, like I was being stupid. Her laughing has to stop; it's beginning to annoy the hell out of me. And now I have a headache. Bob is very happy. NOT. She shook her head.

"Well, if you put it that way then there is," she grinned.

I glared at her as she smiled awkwardly back. Of course there was a catch. There always was one. I just needed to find out what it is.

"For the next 7 days I want you to help me fulfil my wishes," she requested.

What? What was I, her genie? God, I'm just a guy trying to find his place in life, not a freaking genie. Why would she want help fulfilling her wishes, if she lives in such a house as this she definitely could have the money to do what she wished? That was what I was confused about. Something wasn't right. I could just tell. But she wasn't planning on telling me. I sighed; I guess I would just do as she asked. It could be fun, or maybe it would just bring on a mass of headaches. I groaned; that was more probable.

"Ok, fine," I gave in.

She grinned at me seeming to be very happy indeed. She hugged me, her arms wrapping around my shoulders.

"Thank you, Bob!" she squealed.

Oh lord, she had to learn my name first. She was still convinced I was half American. I am full Japanese, idiot! So dense, even if she is cute. I yawned starting to become a little tired. She noticed straight away.

"You can sleep in the spare room. It's next to this one," she instructed.

I nodded as I walked to the door. I stretched my arm out to the touch it as I turned my head and grinned cockily.

"My name's Natsume Hyuuga. Not Bob, you idiot," I smirked.

Her cheeks flushed pink realising her mistake. She gritted her teeth not seeming to like me calling her an 'idiot'. But before she could retort back I was already out of the room. I stood outside of the door hearing her hit the door hard with a pillow. That's what she got for being so stupid. I smirked; maybe this would be interesting after all.

End of Chapyy!
