INUYASHA
I'm not really sure where I got the idea for this, or what this stupid world is like, but the writing is not that bad, and I liked it. It kinda reminded me of this one part of a fic I wrote where Kagome's looking for a spur-of-the-moment wedding dress. I won't give you details, no. You've already read the story that happened in, anyway, I just deleted that scene. (actually, I saved it twice so as not to lose it, but you probably won't see it, anyway, so it doesn't matter)
World of the Doll Revolution
Inuyasha slid into the store and glanced around. Dolls were on shelves high and low. Some were sitting on the platforms, swinging their legs, some were standing on the ground, some were lying in their places, watching the door, only glancing at him as he entered. They all wore little, slim clothes that seemed only to be wrapped around their torso, calves, and lower arms, in a range of colors. The colors meant something, but it was different in every store.
He walked up to the counter. "Can I help you?" the clerk asked politely, smiling. He noticed with a grimace the bangle on her ear. Doll.
"Yes, I'd like to buy a doll." Inuyasha said with quick nod.
"Oh, please, look around." The clerk waved her hand at the dolls on display.
"Are they all for sale?" Inuyasha asked, turning.
"Yes. If you don't see one you like, we have more in the back. Kara!" She turned back and hollered into the door behind her. Another young lady stepped out, with another bangle hanging from her ear. Another doll.
"Kara, help him look." she commanded, and the girl, with a smile, nodded and stepped around.
"May I ask of your name?" Kara said politely.
"Inuyasha." he responded, gruffly nodding at the wares. "And could you help me a bit?"
"What are you looking for?" she asked.
"I'm not sure. There's something I want, but I can't describe it." Inuyasha closed his eyes, playing back to the dream. He couldn't explain what it was about the girl that had compelled him to go out and buy a doll.
With a sigh, Kara lead him over to a slightly raised platform, and had him sit in the viewing chair. There were mirrors behind the platform, and lights. He realized it was for showing thier dolls to him.
Kara led out a dark haired doll first. She was slim, a smile permanently plastered to her face. The color of her 'clothes' was a bright yellow. Her bright blue eyes held no emotion at all. Inuyasha shook his head. Kara led her back and brought out another. Pale blue wrap, her blond hair framed a blank face with green eyes that stared listlessly around. Catching him, she faked a smile, showing pure white teeth.
"No." Inuyasha said, shaking his head. "Not what I want."
After ten more girls, all with either yellow, pale blue, or bright green wraps, Inuyasha still hadn't bought anyone at all.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't think we have what you want at this time." Kara said, sounding truly apologetic. "Maybe you should try somewhere else, or come back later."
Inuyasha nodded. Standing to leave, another woman came running out of the little door that connected with the stores room. She was making a mad dash, and ran flush into him.
"oomph!" the both muttered as the fell to the ground. Inuyasha helped her up.
She had long black tresses, and was dressed in a wrap of deep blue. And she had a small, sliver bar dangling from her left ear, with a silver jewel on the end. A doll, just like all the others, but her blue-silver eyes looked back to him with an expression that dared him to say something.
Once they were both standing, he grabbed her shoulders and looker her in the eye. She struggled, trying to tug away, and Kara lightly touched her back.
"That's Inuyasha, a master. You should be more polite-"
"Do you think I care!" she cried, never looking away from him. "Let me go! I want to get away before they catch me..."
Just then a volley of guards streamed from the small door. "Sorry, sir. This rogue shall not cause trouble again." one appologized.
"No, she shall not." Inuyasha repeated, and he watched her eyes grow wide. He smirked at her reaction. "Kara? I think I found my purchase..."
