Kurogane eyes lingered on the dolls in the shop. He had honestly been wondering if he should get one..but when he had asked his friends..well there answers weren't that encouraging.
Hideki: You need Patience to take care of one..and you have to love it otherwise it wont grow or learn anything...and it can be so hard! Look at mine..Its just now getting over the copying phase and It took me a year to teach it to fully talk.
Doumeki: They are so troublesome, Mine is always bossing me around yelling and complaining..its such a shame..he was so cute and quiet when I first got him...Still i can't wait till he is a teenager than we can play more.
Syaoran: You gotta be careful they are fragile..mine got hurt and i had to redo her entire memory. She still sometimes forgets who i am.
Yea..it was too much trouble. There was no way he was getting one. It was not worth his time..sides..how could someone like him love and take care of another being?

Ashura eyed the doll with bored eyes. It was a young toddler doll still new. He only had it for a day and already he was bored of it. The doll its self was no denying it a beauty with its long blonde hair and blank blue eyes. He had thought that they would be more fun..but all this one knew to do was sit. How dull..maybe he shoulda bought a used one that actually knew something. Without thought he threw it outside and into the trash bin.
"worthless." he said disgustedly.
The naked doll laid in a pathetic heap unmoving as its eyes blinked and tears fell down the word..worthless ringing in his head as he intuitively knew it to be a bad thing. He could not please his master it seems...he was..worthless.

It was getting dark out and Kurogane held his jacket closer to try and keep warm. He was only a few blocks away from his house and wanting to get there closer he decided to take a short cut through a newer neighborhood. As he walked through he noticed something in a trash can. It...was a child! Panicing he hurried over and took the kid out and was appaled to find the blonde had no clothes on and was shivering. Thinking quick he took off his jacket and put it on the kid..he stopped short though when he noticed the tattoo on the kids neck..it was the sign that was on all the dolls..This..was not an actual human...but the question lingered in Kurogane's mind. Who would throw this kid out? Doll or not they still had feelings. It was than he noticed the endless flow of tears in the dolls blue eyes.
"Oye its ok..you can stop crying I got you ok." Kurogane assured in a kind voice that even surprised him. The doll moved its eyes and started at him..with uncertainty. He moved the dolls blonde hair out of his face so that the doll could see better. He tried to make the doll stop crying the best he could with promises he wasn't even sure if he could keep.
"Don't worry.. i wont leave you behind..I got you..I will love you..I will try..I will ..Fai."
Could it be possible? Could this Doll..warm up his heart..and give him what he desperately wanted...somone to love.
The Doll...Now named looked up at him with adoration already imprinting on him. If kurogane had any plans of Trying to leave someplace..he would find that quite impossible because once a doll imprints on its master there was no getting rid of them.
