A/N: A project I've been thinking about starting for a while now, and decided to type up the first chapter today. Yes, I am planning on completing this. Eventually.
I'd also like to point out that if you've read my other stories, and are dying for an update, here's the thing: My memory stick which keeps all of my fanfics, stopped working for some reason. I sort of, kind of, have a backup, except it's not as updated as I would like. Until I sort things out again, and rewrite some of the chapters I've been working on, there won't be any updates.

Stuck in a Doll

Prologue.

She bought it the day after Christmas – the teddy bear. There was something about the glow in its dark, ebony eyes, and the sapphire blue ribbon that securely wrapped around its neck, which lured her into the store's front.

"I'll take that one," Sakura, now seventeen, pointed at the display case. Her emerald eyes glistened, as the cashier carefully wrapped the teddy bear into its box.

"Thank you!" She said, paying for it with her recently received paycheck. Afterward, rose lips curled into a smile, as she turned around and headed for her apartment.

She felt jubilant, since she had never owned an actual teddy bear before; her parents never spent money on something so trivial. So even though Sakura never felt like she needed one growing up, the near-adult woman bought one anyway.

She placed the bear on the shelf of the headboard, which sat next to her alarm clock.

"I wonder if I should give it a name," Sakura thought out loud. The girl laid on her bed, with hands that cupped her face. She stared directly at the bear, similar to when she originally saw it in the store's display case.

"Ino calls her stuff monkey Bobo, and Hinata's bunny is Chocolate..." Sakura yawned, "And I don't think Tenten has one, though if she does, it's probably named after some guy who died tragically in war, or after a weapon of some sort." The girl quickly released a sigh, before yawning again.

Shrugging off the names, and exhausted from work, Sakura soon fell asleep.

The dark world was suddenly reunited with light, as Sasuke Uchiha opened his eyes. Immediately, he knew he wasn't where he was supposed to be. After all, he fell asleep in a cave in the middle of the woods. It was supposed to be bumpy, with rocks poking at his sides, and a thinly sewed piece of cloth draping over him.

However, all he could see was a bright color of sunshine yellow plastered across his view; it blinded him. He inwardly cursed at his current location, raising one of his arms to rub his tired eyes.

That was when his body grew stiff. He rubbed his eyes once more to feel the texture of his fingertips. He followed the action by raising his other arm, and turning his head to the side, only to see that the porcelain material, which had replaced his arm, loosely sewn onto the area that was supposed to be his shoulder.

Sasuke wasn't sure if he should get up or not, somewhat nervous of what he might see. Instead, he looked at his hands again – or whatever that was in place of them – noting the soft fur on the fingerless paw.

Glancing at his surroundings, he found only textbooks on a large desk, a giant, opened closet with several empty hangers, and a laundry basket that laid on the floor with a plethora of clothes piled in, and all around it. Quickly, Sasuke realized that everything around him, even the object that resembled an alarm clock, was much larger than average.

Finally, he decided to push himself up, wobbling on his first few steps. He could only assume that if his hands were stubby, and fingerless, then his toes must resemble them. Either way, the Uchiha never bothered to lower his head to see. Rather, he was more determined on escaping the vacant room, and get his body back.

Slowly, he walked on the wooden surface. Eventually, he had become used to walking, and began jumping onto other surfaces. Sasuke had already formulated a plan: jump onto the clock to give him enough height so that he could reach for the purple lamp. From there, he could reach for the desk and slide down its leg to escape through the large door.

Of course, Sasuke attempted to stealthily leap onto the alarm clock, but unfortunately, the weight he put into his left leg pushed the large button, causing music to turn on at high volume.

Crap, he thought, I must've triggered an alarm. He looked directly ahead at the door, expecting many ninjas to come in armed. But before he could do anything about it, he felt an earthquake from beneath him.

Holding onto the alarm clock, Sasuke tried to keep tight as the earthquake worsened. But the paws wouldn't hold, and his body fell off the edge.

Damn it, he cursed, extending his arm to hold onto the edge, but never succeeded.

"Oh, it's just you."

The feminine voice pierced through his body, and the rumbling of the ground lessened by the time his body landed on a soft terrain. He tried to adjust his vision, but a cloth of some sort blurred it, and he couldn't control his view.

Still, the voice bothered him. He was sure that he's heard it before. An enemy? Maybe they work for Sound, he reasoned.

Suddenly, the cloth was removed, and a recognizable face appeared: Sakura Haruno's.

"How did you fall off the shelf?"

He could see the pink headed girl giving a large grin, and it was huge. Her face was mere inches away from his body, but the heavy blankets pushed him down; it was impossible to escape the trap.

In his peripheral vision, he could see the giant getting up from her resting position.

"Shoot, that's the hospital," she said when she checked her pager.

Sasuke's body was then tugged, and placed onto the cherry oak desk. He was utterly confused, and shocked at the turn of events. What was Sakura doing here, and why was she so... big? He wasn't sure if it was safe enough to move, since it didn't seem like the girl was planning on doing anything.

He slowly watched, as she scrambled around in the room.

Hastily, she turned around the moment she hit the front door. "I'll come up with a name for you eventually," she said – was she talking to him? Her eyes darted upwards, clearly muttering to herself. "I wonder if I should ask Ino what a good name would be... I mean, she never told me it was this hard to name a bear."
