Chapter Two – Curiosity Strikes
。ラブ．ドール。
"So, how're things going with you, Kyo? When are you coming home?"
"Soon, very soon. I'm nearly done with my assignments and all… got myself a good grade… things have been smooth-sailing…" Kyo sipped on some of his coffee as he leaned his body against the counter. "How's mom?"
"Hm, she's been sick all year round, it's good to hear you're nearly done with your studying… you should really come home to visit."
"Alright, it's been a while, how's Kyoshiro and Sakuya? How's the baby?"
"…they're alright."
"…something wrong? You don't sound good, not that I care, though…" Kyo sipped more of the coffee and turned on his television using the remote. 'Rozen Maiden' was airing. "Hm, I'll contact you as soon as I get my holiday… tell mom I said 'get well soon', tell Kyoshiro to clean my penthouse… say… um, 'how's the baby' to Sakuya."
"Alright, please don't forget to buy me… some jellybeans, chocolate and… more jellybeans!"
"You sound like a kid…" Kyo chuckled.
"I can't blame myself for being cute."
"Shut up. Well, bye dad."
"Bye!"
And the line disconnected. Kyo sighed as he placed the mug on the counter. He walked slowly to the nearest sofa and rested himself on it. He watched the series with amusement.
"Talking and walking and magical dolls…? Hmph, what a silly story. I bet no one will buy this, but I can't deny that it's entertaining…" Kyo laughed out loud as Jun fell on his head when he was hit by Shinku. "Shinku's cute. She's very sophisticated… and silly."
"Blond dolls are such a turn on…" he said to himself before laughing it off, frowning. "…what the hell has gotten into me? That was just too…gay-sounding."
He was 21 years old now, studying abroad, living in a very luxurious place alone, being a very remarkable person when it comes to his work and oh yeah, he's handsome, so drop dead gorgeous that he's even had to avoid gay people. He's still the same though, the same man who was spoiled by his rich parents during his younger times, the man that's never been in a relationship before…he frowned.
"…that reminds me…of that present that ass of a brother gave me…I wonder where did I put it?" he said to himself as he lifted his perfect behind off of the sofa, taking himself to the nearest storage room.
Kyo entered the dark storage room, groping around for the light switch before flipping it open, revealing a very neat collection of things covered with white blankets. He casually walked forward, his hands in his pocket. He scanned around lazily before resting his red orbs on a very large box. He approached it.
He pulled off the dusty blanket off of it, uncovering the still wrapped up present. He traced his calloused fingers along the edge of the box, stopping only when he felt a dent. He raised his brows when he felt the dent to be the right size of where to put your hand into, to pull. He furrowed his brows and scowled.
"So it IS a refrigerator! That bastard…" Kyo muttered in spite before proceeding to tear apart the wrapping that was happily encasing the 'refrigerator'. He grabbed a fistful of the colorful wrapping before tearing it down to its baseline, exposing a white refrigerator.
Kyo folded his arms, unsatisfied with all the suspense. His red eyes were flaring as if still in a dark room. "So…it IS a refrigerator…" he sighed, a little disappointed.
"How is a refrigerator revealed after I turn 23 worth it? I bet he's just embarrassed with the gift…coward. Next time, I'll give him a mirror, make him break it and hah, seven years of bad luck shall befall upon he who played a trick on me…" he schemed, his eyes still locked on the white box in front of him.
Somehow though…there was still an annoying tug somewhere deep within him. Surely, this shouldn't be all, right?
He proceeded to reveal the insides, taking a hold of the dent. Pulling the door of the refrigerator open…
…Something fell on him.
His body was now lying sprawled across the carpeted floor, his body glued down by something heavy. His eyes were closed at the sudden impact. He groaned, massaging his sore skull. "Urgh…what the hell…?" he cursed as he opened his eyes…
…To see the bright sun shining brightly just below his nose.
He closed his eyes and shook his head. "No way…it's nighttime…" he opened his eyes again and was greeted with the same bright yellow sun…or in this case, just hair.
…wait, hair?
"Argh!" he pushed away the thing on top of him and sat up frantically. His eyes widened at the sight.
Lying there haphazardly sprawled on the floor was a naked body of a woman, pale and blue. She was a beautiful girl with alabaster skin covering her skeleton. She had long smooth-looking legs and small hands, one lying on her flat stomach and the other carelessly lying on the floor. Her golden hair was a mess, covering most of her body. She looked so blue and dead.
…dead?
"THAT DAMN KYOSHIRO KILLED A WOMAN AND HE'S TRYING TO FRAME ME?"
Kyo slowly approached the corpse, reaching out a hesitant hand. He caressed the cold skin on her face and somehow felt it move.
"…it just moved…" he said matter-of-factly.
He brought his hands to her other parts of the body. His hands traveled from her collarbone, down to her not-so-big breasts, further traveling down to her stomach and stayed there. If felt warmer the more he moved down.
"I'll have to phone that bastard."

A/N: That was weirdly dumb. I dunno what to say but here's a piece of advice: DON'T UPDATE WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO WRITE, IN OTHER WORDS…It'll turn out so random. Let's just say that I wrote the first half of the story about 5 or more months ago…I think. R&R, it's polite.
