"Sweetie! There's a scroll here for you!" A woman shouted. She had black hair that reached her waist. She had deep green eyes. The woman was wearing a yellow dress, and had a white apron tied around her waist. Other than the wooden spoon in her hand, she had a small scroll in her hands. A young teen ran to the indoor balcony, looking at the woman. She had pink hair that reached her shoulders. She was wearing a pink kimono shirt, that had a white obi sash. Black, spandex pants were covering her legs.
"Really?" The girl muttered, walking down the staircase. She walked up to her, taking the scroll.
"Yes, its addressed to you, Sakura-chan." the woman said, looking over her shoulder. Sakura opened the scroll, and they stared at the question.
"Thank you, Mari." Sakura said, opening the scroll. She tore the gold rose seal , unrolling it. "Will you wind, or don't wind?" Sakura muttered, looking at the choices.
"Maybe its some sorta prank." Mari suggested.
"Probably from Naruto." Sakura sighed, rolling up the scroll. "I have a huge test to study for. Can you make me some tea?" Sakura asked, looking a her.
"Of course sweetie." She cooed, rushing to the kitchen. Sakura glanced at the scroll in her scroll before rolling her eyes and huffing. She stomped up the polished wood stairs heading to her room.
~ A few hours later~
Sakura sighed, closing her chemistry book. She sat up on her plush, pink, floral bed. Sakura pulled back the canopy curtains that closed off her circular bed. She walked over to her desk, placing the book in her backpack. Her eyes trailed back to the scroll, sitting on her desk.
"What the hell, I'll humor him." Sakura muttered, taking the scroll. She rolled it out on her plush, white carpet, and read the scroll.
"In order to make your choice, you must circle your choice, with your own blood. So, what will you choose, to wind, or not to wind." Sakura read outloud. She sighed, grabbing a safety pin out of her drawers. Sakura hissed as she pricked her finger and blood slowly came out.
"I choose to wind." Sakura stated, circling the first choice. She sat back, waiting for something to happen. "I guess he didn't think things through." Sakura smirked, standing up. She went back to her bed laying down. Smoke filled her room, and she opened her eyes, looking at the scroll, where the smoke was coming from. Sakura started coughing, and ran to her large window, opening it. The smoke fell out of her room, through the window. Once her room was cleared, she closed her window, and looked at the center of her room. The scroll was now gone, replaced by two brown cases, that had a gold rose on the top.
"Sakura! Is something wrong?" The nanny shouted, knocking on the door.
"I'm fine Mari, just had a bit of a coughing fit. Can you bring me some tea?" Sakura asked.
"Sure thing sweetie." The nanny answered, walking away. Sakura unclasped the case, slowly opening the first one.
"What the-a doll?" Sakura muttered, taking out the brown haired doll. She was wearing a green Victorian era dress with a white collar and black ribbon around her neck tied in a bow and a beige hair accessory, similar to a bonnet. Her long brown hair is curled at the ends.
"She's so lifelike, almost like a little girl." Sakura smiled, running her fingers throguh her long hair. She placed the doll back in the case, leaving it open. The nanny opened the door, carrying a tea set.
"Sweetie, I have some tea." She said happily, sitting down next ot her. "What a cute doll. Did your father send that to you?" she asked.
"No, and I could care less as to what he does." Sakura huffed, pulling the other case towards her.
"What's in that case?" The nanny asked.
"I don't know. Probably another doll." Sakura muttered, opening it. The second doll had shoulder lenghth auburn hair and wore a blue caplet over a white shirt, blue pants and a top hat, as well as short black boots
"They look so real." Sakura muttered.
"Well, its almost midnight. Have sweet dreams, Honey." The nanny smiled, kissing her forehead. Sakura nodded, and watched her nanny leave. Sakura took a gold key out of the second case and turned the boy doll around, spotting a small hole on his back. Placing the key in the hole, Sakura quickly turned it.
"Ow..." a voice muttered. Sakura gasped, dropping the doll. The boy doll sat up, rubbing its head. Sakura's eyes widend as the doll turned to face her, opening his eyes. His right eye was a deep green, while the left eye was red. "Who are you?" He asked, with a rough, slightly feminine voice. Sakura gasp, tripping on her two feet. She fell backwards, landing on her butt.
"What are you?" Sakura nearly shouted.
"My name is Souseiseki, and I am the fourth Rozen Maiden doll." He said.
"Maiden? But you're a boy doll, aren't you?" Sakura asked, slowly backing away from the doll.
"HEY! I resent that!" Souseiseki blushed. He noticed the other doll, still in the case.
"Suiseiseki! What haven't you wound up my sister!" Souseiseki shouted at her.
"Sorry. I wound you up first, and well, you startled me. I didn't expect a doll to start walking and talking." Sakura muttered.
"Well, what are you waiting for! Wind her up!" Souseiseki demanded.
"Alright." Sakura nodded, rushing to the case. She took the key out of Souseiseki's back and prepared to put it in Suiseiseki's back.
"Don't! It won't work. You have to use her own key." Sou told her, taking the key out of Suiseiseki's case. Sakura accepted the key, and placed it in Suiseiseki's hole. Suieseiseki came to life, her eyes opening, shown to be just like her sisters, except her right eyes was red, and her left eye was green. Suiseiseki jumped up, hugging her sister.
"Souseiseki! We're finally awake!" She said happily. Sou nodded, hugging her sister back.
"What is going on here?" Sakura shouted.
"Sakura! Are you alright?" Mari shouted from the other side of the door. Sakura tensed and ran to the door, locking it.
"I'm fine, Mari." Sakura told her.
"Alright. Just call me if you need anything. That's what I'm here for." Mari said, before walking away. Sakura sighed ,and turned back to the dolls, who were trying to get on her bed.
"What are you doing?" Sakura giggled, picking them up. She placed them on the bed, sitting on it as well.
"I've never seen a bed in the shape of a circle before." Suiseiseki commented, walking on it.
"My dad buys me everything I want, and things I don't need. He thinks that if he buys me so much toys, then I'll love him." Sakura sighed, laying on her back.
"Well don't you?" Sou asked, "He is your father." She pointed out.
"No he isn't. My dad died when I was five. This man that says he's my dad is just a stranger who left me with a nanny, and a dead mother." Sakura whispered, holding her body pillow. She started crying, her tears muffled by the pillow. Sui and Sou looked at Sakura and frowned.
"Don't worry, we're here now! And we won't leave you alone!" Sou told her.
"Yeah, that mean man won't be able to hurt you anymore!" Sui nodded.
"We'll stay by your side! We promise!" They told her. Sakura pulled the pillow away from her face, and looked at them, through bleary eyes.
"Really?" Sakura asked. The two girls nodded, and crawled next to her, climbing under the comforter.
"Rozen Maiden dolls are supposed to sleep in their cases, so the the memories of the past, can mingle with the present, and we can form the reality. We need to dream in order to stay the way we are." Sui told her.
"But tonight, we'll sleep with you! You seem to need us more, and we can take a nap during the day and do it, so we won't bother you." Sou nodded.
"Alright. You girls are so sweet. But tomorrow morning, you will tell me what's going on." Sakura told them, before sliding into be herself, right between the two girls. Sui and Sou smiled at their master, and fell asleep, dreaming of gardening with the pink haired girl.
