Tear My Stiches

In a small, bleak, dreary building in Konoha, a light brown haired man stood behind a polished oak counter. This was his shop. This was his santuary.

Aside from the tall counter that the man stood behind, there wasn't much furniture in his shop. Just a few tables and plenty of shelves. Said tables were piled high with dolls. Short dolls, tall dolls, girl dolls, boy dolls. you name it, it was there somewhere. Now, while the tables were piled with dolls, the shelves were completely different. Each doll sat upright on it's own. These dolls, they were special. The gowns that some of the female dolls wore were embroided with the most itricate of patterns. The various articles of clothing that the male dolls sported were wonderful, each doll's outfit bringing out it's hidden personality. Yes, these dolls were very special indeed. They were almost as lifelike as the man who created them. For that was his passion, dolls.

Now, if one were to glance around the shop, taking in each detail and object, they would notice one small thing.

There was one.

One lonesome doll all by himself, sitting alone on a shelf directly behind the register. He was the man's favorite. What with his pale alabaster skin and shocking flame red hair. But, looking past the doll's dark attire and unexplainably beautiful features, something about his eyes stood out. Maybe it was the fact that they were a lovely seafoam green, or maybe it was because they held no visible pupil. But, looking into those strange eyes that were ringed in a heavy line of black, one could see depression.

Yes, this doll, he was certainly a much needed addition to any collector's shelf. But, he would never be sold, for every time a wealthy buyer came in requesting the doll, the shop keeper would smirk and simply shake his head. No, he could never sell him, he was his little angel.

Authoress's Note!

Alright, I've started another story!

But don't worry, I havn't abandoned Opposites Attract.

I really love this idea, and don't worry. You're not really supposed to get this chapter, it's a prolouge, but it and the second are ideal for the plot.

I'll update as soon as humanly possible!

Reviews are always welcome!
