Welcome to the new oneshot collection that I'm starting up! Since I have so many oneshots in my head and too many to post each as separate chapters, I decided that I would try putting all my future oneshots into this collection!
Today's fic features Kyoko and her ultra-precise handmade dolls. I've been writing this one on and off for a while, and I'm happy that I've finally created a version that I'm content with. I hope you enjoy it!
Title: Doll Chaos
Genre: Humor/Romance
Rating: K
Never in a million years had Kyoko expected something like this to happen, but here she was on the floor of her bedroom, staring in shock at the small blonde Sho doll that had bit her finger.
"Mogami-san! Are you okay?" Three of the Ren dolls next to her asked in concern.
Kyoko looked around her room to see several groups of her dolls engaging with each other. On her bed, a Kyoko doll wearing her Love Me uniform was choking the Sho doll wearing Sho's outfit in the Prisoner music video. Near the door was another Kyoko doll with her outfit for Mio on, apologizing in a dogeza to two Ren dolls who shook their heads with an NG-sigh. And trying to climb up the wall was a Sho doll attempting to take down Kyoko's poster of Ren with a Ren doll trying to stop him. In other words, Kyoko's room was in complete chaos.
"Kyoko-chan, are you feeling alright? Your face is turning pale," Kyoko's Corn doll asked.
"Even as a doll you have Tsuruga-san's voice?!" Kyoko's jaw gaped open. Corn only smiled at her and did a flip.
Looking around at the chaos going on around her, Kyoko decided that something needed to be done. She didn't know how this had happened since the dolls had all suddenly come to life, but there must be a way to fix this!
Kyoko made her way past two Sho dolls that were admiring each other to her closet where she brought out three drawstring bags. Opening the first one, she went around her room recklessly throwing any Sho dolls into the bag, snickering at their cries of pain from being thrown in so roughly. After gathering all the Sho dolls and making sure the bag was tied tightly, Kyoko closed the bag and opened another one, this time gently gathering any Kyoko dolls. At last she opened the last bag and saw that the Rens had all nicely lined up for her. Kyoko smiled and put them all gently in the bag until she came to the end of the line where Corn waited for her. For some reason, she didn't feel right lumping Corn with the Rens even if Corn looked identical to them.
"What are you waiting for, Kyoko-chan?" The Corn doll wondered.
"What about you stay on my shoulder instead, Corn?" Kyoko suggested.
"Sure!" Corn replied with a smile. Kyoko picked him up and placed him on top of her shoulder. Closing up the bag of Ren dolls, it was clear by the size of the three bags that most dolls she had were of Ren. She took the three bags and stored them in her closet, purposely smacking the bag of Shos against the wall before harshly throwing it to the ground. She then put on an outfit and went downstairs to mount her bike and ride it to LME. Maybe someone there would have answers as to why her dolls had suddenly come to life?
When Kyoko got to LME, she entered the elevator and pushed a button. The elevator zipped her up a few floors before stopping, and Kyoko exited the elevator to head towards Lory's office. When she approached it however, she immediately saw Maria waiting for her on a couch outside. Maria ran up to her, almost in tears.
"Onee-sama! I cast a spell to make my Ren-sama doll come to life, but someone took him!" Maria cried.
"Ah, so you were the one responsible for this. I was wondering if maybe you had cast a spell," Kyoko said, pointing to Corn on her shoulder. Maria widened her eyes in surprise as Corn waved to her with a smile.
"Onee-sama? Why did you make a doll of Ren-sama with blonde hair and green eyes?" Maria wondered.
"It's not Tsuruga-san. This is Corn, a fairy prince who I first met as a child," Kyoko smiled.
"Then why does he look so much like Ren-sama?" Maria asked. Kyoko opened her mouth to reply before blushing at the reason why Corn had taken on Ren's appearance. She couldn't tell Maria that it was because Ren's presence had been the greatest in her mind when Corn had looked through her memories to take a voice.
"It's a long story, but I thought you said that someone stole your Tsuruga-san doll?" Kyoko said, trying to change the subject.
"There was a weird man with silver hair and purple eyes that suddenly appeared and took off with Ren-sama!" Maria exclaimed. Kyoko groaned as she realized who the thief probably was based off the description. Of course that Beagle would tamper with anything mystical or magical like this.
"I think I know who took him. Don't worry, Maria-chan. I'll get him back for you," Kyoko promised. Maria hugged her before Kyoko took off to visit the Love Me room. She was thinking that Reino probably took the doll to blackmail her again, so he would probably be waiting for her there. When Kyoko arrived at the LoveMe room, her suspicions were proven correct as Reino stood with a cocky grin on his face, the Ren doll in chains next to him.
"Beagle," Kyoko growled.
"I was wondering when you would show up," Reino grinned.
"Give me back Tsuruga-san," Kyoko demanded.
"And why should I? Did you know that this doll can be used as a voodoo doll with the right spells? Imagine having Tsuruga Ren at your beck and call."
"No! I can't let you do that! Please don't bring Tsuruga-san into this! Just tell me what you want me to do so that you'll give me back the doll!" Kyoko exclaimed.
"If that's the case, then I want you to be my girlfriend," Reino smirked.
"What?!" Kyoko was taken aback.
"Those are my terms."
"I cannot agree to your terms, Beagle," Kyoko replied, thinking that she would never open herself up to love again. Although, her crush on a certain tall brown-haired actor was an exception. She just couldn't control how she felt about him.
"Why not!?" Reino growled, grabbing her arm. As he did, he saw her memories ever since he had last seen her, her memories of Ren being most prominent. He felt her locks open and saw her realize how she felt for Ren, and Reino realized that now Ren had the largest presence in her heart, far greater than Sho had ever had. Reino had always known hate and revenge would stay with a person for long, but love was on a whole other level. No emotion could compete with love for sway over a person's heart.
"I see. You've fallen in love with that man," Reino frowned.
"Wh-what are you talking about?!" Kyoko asked, shocked that Reino might know about her secret feelings for Ren.
"That thing I told you about this doll being a voodoo doll was a lie that I told you to try to get what I wanted, but I know it's impossible for me to be in your dark heart as long as that man is. I don't want to compete with him, but it's still pretty fun to toy with you. You can have the doll back, but you'll have to catch it first," Reino said, flicking his hand to undo the chains on the Ren doll who immediately ran out of the room.
"What did you do? Why did Tsuruga-san run away?"
"It was a simple spell that makes it so that the doll can't stop running. If you want to catch him, then you should probably run after him," Reino said, snapping his fingers to disappear from the room, a puff of smoke the only thing that marked that he had ever been there. Even though she was still confused by his words, Kyoko bolted down the hallway towards where the Ren doll had ran off. Soon, the doll came in sight and she sped up her pursuit.
"Tsuruga-san, please stop!" Kyoko called out.
"I can't, Mogami-san! Something is forcing me to run!" The doll yelled back as it rounded a corner up ahead. Kyoko ran after it, rounding the corner to see a four-way intersection. The doll had already turned. Looking to her left, Kyoko saw Ren and sprinted to him. When she got closer, she jumped out to tackle him so that he wouldn't run away. She was confused however when she realized that this Ren doll was full-sized. Had the Ren doll grown?
"Mogami-san?"
Kyoko looked down in horror as she realized that this was the actual Ren that she had just tackled. She immediately went into a dogeza.
"I'm so sorry, Tsuruga-san! Please berate your lowly kohai for tackling you! I don't deserve to live after hurting Tsuruga-san like this!" Kyoko cried out.
"Please get off the floor, Mogami-san. I'm fine. You only surprised me," Ren assured her to stop her tears. When her tears slowed, Ren breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Is there a reason why you tackled me, Mogami-san?"
"Maria-chan's Ren doll was kidnapped by the Beagle, and he cast a spell on the doll to force it to run away! I was trying to catch it, but I didn't know that it was actually you here! I guess I should have realized since you weren't running and were full-sized," Kyoko explained. Now if it were someone else, they would have thought that Kyoko was crazy based on what she was saying, but Ren was used to it by now and wasn't fazed by it.
Ren looked around and saw a doll lying on the ground. Bending down to pick it up, Ren almost dropped it in shock as the Corn doll suddenly smiled at him.
"Oh no! I'm so sorry, Corn! I didn't mean for you to fall off when I tackled Tsuruga-san!" Kyoko apologized to the doll.
"Don't worry about it, Kyoko-chan!" Corn smiled.
"Hey, Mogami-san? I think I might have an idea for how to solve your problem. I think it might fix everything," Ren smiled playfully. Kyoko quirked an eyebrow at his boyish grin, wondering what type of idea would cause that expression.
"I'll do anything to fix this!" Kyoko exclaimed.
"All you have to do is wake up."
"What do you-mhmppfh!"
Kyoko widened her eyes in surprise as soft velvety lips collided with her own. When Ren pulled back, Kyoko was left with a huge smile covering her face. For some reason, she felt dizzy with pleasure and felt as if the world was spinning.
"Wake up, Mogami-san," Ren urged her.
"What did you say?" Kyoko asked, still in her dreamlike stupor from being kissed by her crush so suddenly.
"Wake up, Mogami-san."
Kyoko suddenly opened her eyes and raised her head that had been resting on someone's shoulder. She turned to see who she had inconvenienced by laying her head on them and blushed as she made eye contact with her senpai, but he was currently in the persona of Cain Heel.
"Setsu, you were having a pretty deep sleep there. I almost couldn't wake you up," Cain said, Ren having switched back into character after his momentary slip of tongue. He had been trying to wake Kyoko up for the past ten minutes, but everything he had done as Cain hadn't worked, and they had already arrived at the site for that day's Tragic Marker shoot. It had surprised him when she had fallen asleep on his shoulder during the bus ride to the site, and since she had proven difficult to wake up, they were the only two still left on the bus. As a last resort, he had broken character and used her real name to wake her up.
"Nii-san! Why did you wake me up? I was dreaming!" Kyoko pouted, easily slipping into Setsu's character.
"What were you dreaming about that made you so hard to wake up?" Cain wondered. Kyoko momentarily regained control of her body at the memory of the dream kiss, and she blushed crimson red. What a crazy dream that had been. If not for the first part of her dream where the dolls had come to life, Kyoko would have let herself even believe that a kiss like that was possible. It was good that she could still distinguish reality from fiction though after that crazy dream.
"I think I've been making too many dolls," Kyoko said, resolving to stop making any more dolls for a while. They were already realistic enough.
