Authors Note: Thanks for checking out chapter two of Playing with Dolls and I hope you like it enough to review afterwards or to stick it where it hurts, as said before I don't mind the flames But I Would like my suck-y parts to be pointed out for me if you find it troubling instead of a flat out "You Suck". Also If You Don't like Yuri or Yaoi Pairings, Girls with Girls and Boys with Boys then you've come to the wrong Fiction. And another not to add is that I'm trying to keep the characters in character as much as possible without damaging the chances of ruining my plans, yeah so you may see a lot of OOC Naruto and Sakura, but I think people like a nicer, non-Sasuke fangirl Sakura, am I right?
Summary: Uchiha Sasuke is a genius doll maker with a gift of giving life. But can his dolls fulfill the one task he had in mind when first creating the entities, to Love? A tale of twisted romance between a lonely boy and his Doll, and the dolls he created that wind there way into others lives, weather to stay or to wither. AU.
Pairings: Mainly SasuNaru, and InoSaku Appearing in this chapter, Minor NejiHaku, ZabuHaku, Hints at a Faked SakuSasu and maybe one-sided GaaSasu, KibaHina to the minimum is probable. I may have more but that all that's been thought of for now.
Disclaimer: It's on chapter one P what can I say, I'm lazy?
Chapter Two, Unwanted Encounter
After Sasuke had helped Naruto to stable his balance, taking numerous hours of practice and a few Band-Aid's later, Sasuke called out. "Sakura!"
"Hai, Sasuke-sama!" a girl with vibrant pink hair and green eyes came whizzing through an open door that went unnoticed before.
"Sakura, I thought I told you not to address me as Sama." Sasuke said raising a hand to his face in annoyance, the left ring finger curling around his cheek with the middle finder rising below his bang's.
"And what is the deal with that uniform? Pink is not the dress code in the Uchiha Manor, it's supposed to be dull grays, blacks and red. And certainly not cherry patterned" an irritated expression crossed his features.
It was true the dress was pink, frilly, had lace adorning the hem and cherries danced across the entire ensemble, and to top that off her maids' hat not only was frilly white but also had pink furry neko ears.
"What can I do for you then, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said suavely switching topics, with a pleasant smile.
Ignoring her sudden topic change to be more to the point the raven continued. "I want you to show my latest doll the residence of the Uchiha estate." He paused letting go of the blond's small frame, moments before the boy had stumbled and had to be cached or risk falling to the floor.
"Introduce him to the other dolls and servant's, you know the usual tour. Keep him out of trouble and watch out for Gaara, Oh and I also want you to send a word to Inuzuka Kiba that I will be starting on his custom doll soon," He turned to leave, picking up a folder from his desk and stepping forward again towards the door but stopped when he was more than halfway out of the room to quietly say, "His name is Uzumaki Naruto." and then disappeared without a second glance.
Scene Change
"So your name is Naruto, ne?" The girl said with the same warm smile. Naruto swiveled his gaze to the person trying to get his attention. "Naruto, just like in ramen." She giggled.
"Yes, that's what Sasuke told me I was named. But what is, what is Ramen?" he said his head tipping to the side a tad, cerulean eyes now having a curious glow to them.
"Oh silly me, that's right you're new here of course you haven't seen ramen yet, I'll have to have Akimichi Chouji, our chef make you a bowl when we get by the kitchen's Naruto-kun." She said with a bigger smile.
"Thank you, but I didn't catch your name." Naruto stated happily on the mention of food.
"My name is Haruno Sakura, but call me Sakura-chan!" she said pointing to herself "Oh and I'm a doll too! Sasuke-Kun created me to help the house keeper, Yamanaka Ino Year's ago." She said the name almost dreamily hand's clasped together in front of her chest.
After that slight pause she continued, "If you ever have a question that you don't want to ask Sasuke, just ask me okay?" She paused again for another giggle, "He can get pretty grumpy for no reason at all."
Naruto Smiled and Let out a small laugh himself and let Sakura-Chan give him a tour of the room's and the history of it all. To Naruto, sakura sounded like a walking encyclopedia, never missing a detail no matter how small. Every few minuets she would stop at a painting, sculpture, room, or just to say random fact's, she knew everything!
After a few random turns down a hall Sakura announced that they should be meeting people down and around the next hall. Sakura then fixed the blond's robe-like satin shirt by straightening the buttons and smoothing the small creases. "First Impressions are what matter most in a person's social life, ne?" she joked pulling him around a corner.
Taking in his surrounding's Naruto noticed he was in a wide corridor of many door's. The rooms were labeled by name then an id number of some kind, maybe like a barcode?
Naruto also noticed one door in particular was ajar but the contents were shadowed by the dark. Subaku, Gaara, the nameplate read. He was getting a weird feeling from this door, an awkward feeling of being watched. Visibly he shuddered before turning away and back to sakura who had noticed the small shiver.
"The open door over there is Subaku, Gaara; we call him Gaara of the Desert because of when he gets mad his attacks, mentally and physically, can be as rough as sandpaper and burn uncontrollably. What causes the burning sensation is unknown to us."
She pointed to the first door to the right where he had looked moments earlier.
"He's not a pleasant person because a minor, well, a big defect in his personality and his action's he has are jumpy from quiet to murderous. Sasuke-sama won't sell him like most toys that lose his interest in because of it, but he also pays no attention to him at all. It's sad really. Gaara seems troubled by it, I always knew it wasn't good to fall in love with your own creator, it drove him to madness. But," She paused looking down before continuing on sadly "I think that's what we might have been made for. Many dolls lost themselves like that, slowly breaking inside. Gaara used to not have those defaults you know, he was happy till he was rejected and another doll took his place as the favorite. Currently, you have what he thinks is rightfully his place, you're the masers favorite Naruto-kun."
Naruto was speechless at that, how could something not really living love? How could a doll break with unrequited feelings? How was he, after just gaining consciousness hours prior, already be Sasuke's favorite? Many questions buzzed in his mind before a voice woke him from his thoughts.
"I don't like being talked about behind my back Haruno-san." A voice said from the room causing Naruto to squeak and hide behind sakura.
Sakura herself stiffened at the voices careless tone. "A-ano Gaara-san gomen. Heh heh, I was just giving the new guy a tour as Sasuke-sama had asked." She said trying not to stutter and be polite.
The door to Gaara's room opened more and a tall boy with wild red hair and hard green-blue eyes stepped out. "Haruno-san, and who might this," He paused and looked Naruto over, a smirk now firmly in place, "innocent new addition to the Master's Toy chest, be? Hmm?"
Stiffening at the word's "innocent" and "toy" Naruto forgot his fear's and stepped forward, mere paces from where Gaara stood.
"Why is everyone calling me a toy today? I just get here and already everyone who's carried on a conversation with me has referred to me as a toy! I'm not a toy; I'm no ones play thing, I-I'm Just Me!"
A laugh from Gaara laced with an unknown emotion brought the blond out of his rant, his face wearing a confused pout. Sakura seemed utterly confused by the red heads behavior and slipped her hand gently onto Naruto's slim wrist slightly, trying to pull him away from the obviously mental red head.
Gaara's smirk widened, "Oh but didn't you know? We're all Sasuke-sama's toys, one to play maid with." The red head turned a hard glare to the girl beside the blond who was trying to pull his victim away. Quickly the red head pushed Sakura roughly away from the blond and himself causing her to crash to into the wall not to far from where she stood and hit her head where she fell limply to the floor with an alarmed shriek.
"One to play father figure" The red head took a step closer as the blond took a step back.
"One to play Doctor." Another step forward, another step back.
"One to play the unlikely Nurse." Another step forward, another step back, Narutos hand that he had pushed back now brushed against the cold wall.
Then Gaara stepped closer, Naruto in turn stepped back until he hit the wall of the hallway. Gaara put a hand out to the said of the blond, blocking an escape route. Naruto shut his eye's tightly thinking that the insane red head would hurt him at any second.
"And one to play his vary own little Fuck Toy, oh wait, isn't that you?" The partial statement and question was whispered into the blond's ear causing the blond to shudder at the icy tone and warm breath.
"Don't forget one to play the villain that disobeys the master." A low, but deadly voice said, startling both Naruto and Gaara.
Hey sorry I had to cut it short, if I didn't I wouldn't have made the deadline, see I'm at a friends house and I hadn't finished the chapters ending and I had originally planed to end it here anyways. Sorry to Kisa-Chan and Kiyone-San, my betas who were waiting to see the part that would have changed the maturity rating, gomen to you all that would have loved to further see this chapter as it would have been, just look forward to next week.
