Authors Note: I had this done months ago but lost track of time and well todays my birthday! So Yeah….
Nya! Thanks for checking out the Third chapter of Playing with Dolls. I had first written some of this bit for last chapter but while at a friends house I started avidly watching the Yaoi and Shounen-Ai anime's; Papa to kiss in the dark, Gakuen Heaven , Sukisyo, Kyou Kara Maou, and then a lot of other Av's. Oh and I can't forget all of the countless Doujinshi's from Zetta and other sites for Naruto. I was so caught up that I stayed four days there, and on Friday I went home to post what I could of chapter two, so again, gomen for delaying the maturity changing bits. Constructive comments are enjoyed in reviews. Also the updates will have to be about once a month at most because my schooling has started up again and I'm already falling behind in Language arts. Yes I haven't posted in a long, long time but hey at least I didn't altogether forget about this, nee? So in other words, Kisa-chan don't kill me!
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.
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 still on chapter one, like I've said, I'm lazy.
Chapter Three, Tours continued
Terrified cerulean eye's opened with a start and turned towards the new arrival to the scene. "Sasuke." Naruto said, his voice shaky and you could easily tell that he was having trouble with saying just that one simple word.
The raven's step's were even and showed no sign of his current emotion, but his face was twisted in anger, his onyx eyes now laced with the slightest red tone.
"Let him go, Gaara." The raven hissed.
Gaara just stared past Sasuke as the raven stepped closer and closer to him and his captive.
"I said, let. Him. Go, Gaara." Sasuke Repeated now only paces away, malice dripping from each individually stressed word.
A twisted smile then curled its way onto the redhead's face and his free hand moved more towards the blonds face, turning it so the blond would have to face him then curling his hand around a soft whiskered cheek.
Naruto flinched at the touch.
"You can always have another one, make another one. You'll toss him away in time, why not just let him go now, before he waists your time, before his attachments grow and you screw up him too. You won't miss him, you never miss any of them, and you can always make replacements. For everything in your life, servants, friends, family," His expression somehow became more insane and his hand harshly scraped down the blonds face, followed by warm trails of blood in a pinprick like thickness and a whimper made its way out of the blond.
The next word was bitter and hatefully spit out. "Even your lover's!"
Sasuke now stood beside the frightened boy and the insane one. "What are you implying here, Gaara?"
"It's interesting really, when you make a doll without a purpose, without a contract pre-drawn up. The doll's are usually very beautiful or have qualities you seem to like, at first." The last part was added on after a short pause. "Females, males, it doesn't matter as long as you're having your fun. You play around with them, yeah; you play with their emotions, their actions, their bodies, and most importantly, their mind." Gaara wiped off one of the small trails of blood from the trembling blond's face with his thumb, then brought the digit to his lips and licked it off before continuing on.
The redhead swiveled his head to the side, giving Sasuke his attention now. "Don't tell me you've forgotten about all the fun we used to have, or do you toss away the memories as easily as you toss away the doll, as easily as you tossed away me?"
"Oh, but I can see why you want him back, a small frame to easily dominate, the innocent childlike behavior that suddenly spikes from aggressive to frightened, such alluring bright eyes, he really is your best work yet, oh and I'm sure that he's a screamer, maybe I should find out for myself?" Gaara said yanking the shorter boy from the wall into his chest with a tight grip. "If you really want him, take him back." The red head replied with a sneer, his arms tightening and crushing the blond further into him.
Naruto whimpered at the contact, trying to break away from the redheads grasp. First the redhead seemed to want to eat him now he wanted to know if he was a screamer, what the hell did he mean by that? Then again, Naruto concluded he didn't really want to take the time to find out.
Sasuke sighed in aggravation and slapped a hand over his eyes. "I didn't want to resort to this but," The ravens face grew a smirk and he removed his hand to reveal darker crimson red and black eyes, "if you don't act like a good little boy and let Naruto-kun go, I might have to let Orochimaru or maybe even Deidara and his friends purchases you as they have been trying to for years. Oh, and you do know what either one of them would do with you in their hands, don't you? Your body wouldn't last long in either's possession you can be assured. You remember how Sasori loves to take things apart."
Gaara's eyes widened by a slight millimeter and his jaw dropped slightly. "You wouldn't! By doing something as illogical as that is signing away your own product design, you'd be ruined before you even reach the highlight of your career!"
Sasuke reached a hand out and stroked the blonds' hair. He sighed and retracted the hand before looking back up at the redhead.
"Maybe he is the highlight of my career, and maybe I just don't give a damn about wealth and the advantages of being the only one who can give life to a bunch of dolls with faux souls? Whatever the reason, I can't let you have him, he, despite appearances, could tear you apart and disable your functions to the point that's beyond my repair. He is the highlight of my career"
The Redheads grip loosened as he spaced-out into surprised thought. How could the helpless looking blond in his arms be capable of harming him, let alone to be able to leave him in a non-repairable state? It was baffling as to how this couldn't be more than a bluff on the ravens part.
Noticing that the usually stoic redhead had paused in his actions and had momentarily forgot to keep his grip on the blond; Naruto took his chance and wriggled from his captors arms and slipped behind Sasuke and gripping at his shirt before Gaara could regain his grip.
Safely behind the raven Naruto stuck his tongue out at the redhead who seamed to have finally snapped out of his daze and was confused as of how he had let his guard down enough for the blonde to sneak past.
The redhead stifled a growl as he strode past the raven who was now smirking at his noticeable win.
"Remember to play nice next time if you know what's good for you." His only reply was a mumbled 'whatever', and that he wouldn't be down for dinner.
A slam echoed the halls as Gaara slipped back into his room.
Naruto heaved a relieved sigh and Sasuke soon felt arms circling around his waist. With a start he turned his head to the side to have his vision filled by a mop of golden blond hair.
A smile worked its way onto his face slowly as he wrapped an arm around the shorter blond boys back, guiding him away from the door that to Naruto seemed to be seething of hatred and other foreboding emotions.
After a few steps in the direction heading away from the hall Naruto found his pace slowed to a stop by the ravens own movements. Lifting his head off of the warm chest he had rested it on he saw Sakura sitting on her knees looking up at both of them, a relieved smile playing on her lips.
"Sakura, can you walk alright by yourself, or do you need assistance?" Sasuke asked as he outstretched an arm to the girl.
The girl smiled and took the offered hand to stand before answering. "Sasuke-sama I'm just fine I just bumped my head a little hehe!"
Sasuke let go of her hand then stepped forward a few paces with Naruto still gripping his shirt before pausing to unravel himself from the blond's grasp. "I must return to the workshop now" he said while stepping away from his small blond doll, his head tipped to Sakura, "Don't let Naruto out of your site until you are past the foyer, Gaara wont go there unless he is forced to. Don't look back until Gaaras door is past your vision". With that he nodded his head to both of them, and evenly walked back down the way he first came.
"Hey Naruto, lets get going" .Naruto swiveled his head to the now standing Sakura, she had her hand out for him to take, for comfort perhaps, the blond thought, but took her hand anyway.
"Yeah" he said with a reassuring smile, as he took the pink haired women's hand.
As the made their way down the halls, Naruto had noticed a speed change in her stride. She was moving a lot faster than when they started the tour.
