Welcome to the revised Chapter 2!
And yeah, since I hailed Sasuke as one of the most feared Black Doll, I have to show it here…
(Eh, nani? Shiranai? Shimatta…)
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto but I own four dogs… cute, big dogs…
Warnings: Nothing but change…

He pulls it to his shoulder and he cups his hand at where my head is (I am completely hidden under the covers), "Naruto, don't worry, okay? Just… stay close."
"…" I reach out my hands and clutch at his shirt again. He chuckles again and pulls me closer to him. He continues to chuckle as I let him snuggle me like a side pillow. Seriously, I do act girly around my dad… I just don't know why. I close my eyes and hear the wind whistle yet again…
"Naruto? Still awake?" Dad asks as he strokes at my head. I grunt an answer and he says, "I'll be going for another business trip in two days. Are you sure you'll be fine with your mother? I mean—" I raise my head and flip the covers for a while, "Dad, don't leave, please?"
"Naruto… even I wanted to stay. Don't worry, we'll be fixing this problem before I go, okay?" Dad smiles at me and he ruins my hair again. I sulk at the matter and flip the covers again to cover my head. He then chuckles and squeezes me more, "Kyaaa! Naruto, you're so cute!" I growl… making my dad stop squealing like a fan girl.
'TO NOT PLAY WITH ME MEANS TO THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY…'
CHAPTER 2: VANESSA, MY DEAR
REI HARUNO –SAKURA NO IMOOTO-
KURONINGYOO NO YUME [DIRECTOR'S CUT]
My dad accompanies me to a paranormal expert that early morning around 7. The office is just another house and there are weird things inside her place… based from what I can see through the window. Then a dark-haired lady meets us at the porch and she greets Dad, "Minato-sama, welcome! Come along, get inside." Dad nods an answer and we walk towards the lounge.
I fling my head to the staircase to see a young red head boy playing with the… wall? He has this synthetic ball and he is throwing it to the wall… by making it bounce at the floor and to the wall. Magically, the ball moves sideways… but it still manages to hit the same spot at the wall and bounce back to him.
"Someone is just playing with Sasori. Don't mind him…" The lady speaks and Dad gazes at the kid, "Even your son has a… guest?" The lady just smiles and we settle at the couch. The lady smiles and says, "I want you to relax, Naruto-san. Let me see what is disturbing you."

It is all a bad news. She did confirm that someone is following me… but she was not able to determine what on earth it is. All I know for sure is that… I am getting stalked around by a doll. I remain silent at my seat… getting rightfully ignored by my party. Then the doors slide noisily… I turn to see Hinata worriedly walking towards me. She sits beside me and whispers, "Naruto-kun… are you alright?"
"Yeah… Don't worry…" I smile at her but it hasn't quenched her anxiety. She does know something is up… since my mother is quite a gossiper when it comes to me especially to Hinata. Dad must have told her about the thing last night. It is quite embarrassing that Hinata has to deal with both of my parents… when there is nothing between us.
She continues to stare at me with anxiety and then I smile some more, "Come on, Hinata. There's nothing to worry about." She whimpers and stops looking at me… but instead takes her phone and walks outside the room. My phone suddenly vibrates inside my pocket and I check out the message… from Hinata, Naruto-kun, please don't hesitate to tell me anything. I'll always be here. Best friends?
I smile a bit and look outside the window… 'Maybe it's time for me to actually… have friends.'

A stargazing event lies within that night and addressing the problem right, Dad doesn't even want me to come. But there's no way I can ditch a school activity. I have to go even if my life would be risked alongside. However, I have my party with me so I guess it'll be harder for it to attack me… but of course, I'm still scared of it actually coming…
We are already at the Stargazing Grounds and everything seems to be natural… the usual ways things are. Since it is night time, students can't help but to talk about sick ghost things and possessed materials. Hearing creepy things, I can't seem to concentrate and focus… fearing what the doll can do to me. Hinata notices my unusual mood and she taps me once. I do feel the touch but my mind is too busy for me to react. She then holds my shoulder and shakes me a little, "Naruto-kun! Are you okay? Do you want to stay in the clinic?"
"Ahh no…" I break out from my undue daze and she whimpers her concern. Since everyone is too busy to see us, nobody could have teased me right there. She takes my hand and hold it between hers, letting go of my shoulder. She blushes as she speaks, "Naruto-kun, you can tell me whatever disturbs you…"
"Thank you… but I don't think—" I shake my head and squeeze her hand, "I don't even know what disturbs me. It's just a feeling. Don't worry, Hinata. I'll get over it…" She gives me a warm smile and we let go of each other's hand. And then Kiba suddenly yells, "Come on, pals! I knew you wan'na hear some!" Ah, yeah… Kiba's a friend, too. He's a dog mutt and all he loves are dogs and ghosts. He even cares more about his dog's hygiene rather than his. But don't worry, he's not disgusting. What I mean is… he wouldn't take a bath until the dog is not done yet.
"How about the terror doll that is roaming around?" Sakura then starts something as Kiba has requested, "Well, I have read it from a site. The author said that the terror doll has been running around and attacking random people. And she has even said that the accident at the hospital is caused by the terror doll." Sakura is a computer and book geek… the most intelligent among the class. But she's getting into paranormal things lately. Kiba then points at her as if solving her enigmatic puzzle, "The singing doll, right!"
"You mean Vanessa." Neji says and we look at him with wonder. Neji is the… uhh, Hinata's cousin. He's also an intellectual like Sakura… but he's more matured and all. He doesn't talk much… making this a rare scene. Sakura cheers as she clasps her palms together, "Yes, Vanessa, the singing doll!" She then clears her throat and starts to sing a child's song…
Little Vanessa, would you like to play?
Little Vanessa, would you like to stay?
Little Vanessa, are you coming now?
Little Vanessa, are you going now?
Little Vanessa, do you want candies bright?
Little Vanessa, do you want to sleep tight?
Little Vanessa, please hear my squeal…
Little Vanessa is here to kill!
"She chants like that…" She finishes the song and squeal somehow, "And she said that Vanessa will get mad if you do not sing with her." Kiba then huffs, "Come on, Sakura… you act like you wanted to meet her." She then freezes and looks at him, "O-Of course not…" She whispers to the group, "I don't want to see her signature note…"
"Signature note?" I join in the talk and Sakura smiles at me an odd one, as if her lips are trying to make a 'V' look, "Why Naruto? Seen a rare message on the mirror?" No… fucking… way. I swear I feel like I froze for a moment and I get covered in cold sweat. She leans forward a little to the low bonfire… even her collar goes down, it's nothing dangerous, and she says in a terrifying voice, "You… can never… escape me…"
No way… just fucking no way. I suddenly stand up and surprise arises with me as they all look up to see me. I snub the idea and walk away, "Don't fuck with me." Hinata could have tried to stop me… but there is no hand that held me back. I continue walking away and eventually get away from their sight…

"There's no way that's the so-called singing doll. The voice doesn't even sound feminine." I almost spit… trying to deny the thing that the doll could be 'their' Vanessa despite the similarity of their notes. I am leaning at the wall and… and I can't seem to find the way back to them. The corridors are starting to be a labyrinth around here… or am I just getting paranoid because of that doll that follows me around?
I sigh and close my eyes… Maybe I'll just wait for a faculty to find me and lead me out of here. I nod to myself… assuming a teacher would be brave enough to roam around after the recent killings made by dolls. But to think about it, I haven't seen the guard's flashlight around. Aren't he supposed to be around in times like this? I frown and look out the corridor… looking for a flashlight beam.
"Ahh… uhh… ngh…" I twitch as I hear lustful noises from a far away classroom. Since the guard isn't roaming around, some students could have skipped in the buildings and gone to do something in the shadows. To think about it, I myself have done it. I walk towards where the sound is coming from, hearing more and more of dick-begging moaning. And at times like this… scary ghosts always come to attack. I have to disperse them before another thing happens… schools don't have surveillance cameras at every room.
I now stand before the door and it doesn't seem like there are only two of them inside. I kneel down and slide the door a little, enough for me to see what is happening inside. There are two girls, dancing naked at the circle and the guys are cheering but not that loud. The chairs are pulled to the sides making a very wide circle in the middle. They have illegal alcohol with them and— up down up down up down— crap. It's not the best time for me to be watching bouncing breasts. But… I then go to the side and sits down at the floor… Why am I not getting excited seeing naked women? My fear is already subsiding, though.
Clash!
What was that! I get startled by the sudden and rabid clashing noises and decide to open the door. A blob of blood suddenly splashes at my face and then I have to wipe it off with my hands, only to see a little figure before a slaughtered woman. She looks like a doll… but she's tattered and her silhouette seems to be different that what I have been seeing. I frown at her for a while and then she gazes at me and grins, "Nii-san… do you want to play with me instead?"
I freeze at my spot… recalling that the killer doll they call Vanessa loves to play. But I have to move… or else I would have to die along with these people. I step backwards and then she glares directly at me, "Nii-san." I then run off as fast as I can… fearing that in any corner, she might appear and just get rid of me. I turn at the hallways that I remember that I have gone through… so scared and trembling that my legs have been hurting all along. I even barely keep balance… but only lasted until I trip due to recklessness. I hit the floor so hard… so hard that I even have my teeth bleed.
I cup my hand at my mouth and pull it back to see the blood smudging my palm. Then I stand up and stagger through the hallways. The atmosphere begins to get cooler as the droplets of the rain start falling fiercely towards the earth. I walk through a dark hallway with the occasional lightning as the only source of illumination. My heart thumps so fast that I can barely breathe in synch with it. I then fall down on my knees because of fatigue and tension… only to see a doll silhouette before me again as the lightning strikes again.
My eyes squint to see it again and it has never failed me… never failed to scare me either. It has been walking closer and closer every time the lightning strikes across the raining sky… until it reaches me. It is not Vanessa… it has been the doll that is following me around. It reaches out its hands again… only to touch my cheeks with its surprisingly warm little hands. I then close my eyes as my body finally gives in to exhaustion… falling forward without any control. Someone catches me… but I never have had the chance to know who.

"Naruto-kun?" A sweet voice calls me and then my eyes hesitate to open. Once they do, I see a white cloth darkened by the unlit room… no, there is a lamp behind it. I reach out my weakened hand and touch the warm soft— but it pulls back and a blur face yells at my face, "Naruto-kun!" I squint… only to see Hinata with a hard blush running at her face. She has her arms at her chest— I think I just touched her breast. I then try to sit up and she assists me in doing so, making me have a glimpse at everyone that is behind her. Neji and Sakura is there with her and then I resort to wrapping my arms around Hinata to help myself some more.
Neji then glares at me and then Sakura yells at my action, "Uzumaki Naruto! What are you doing!" I twitch loudly and then Hinata takes my arm off, "Naruto-kun… anou… a-are you alright?" I nod in hesitance and then Hinata tilts her head to see my face when I hang it down. I slightly raise my head to look at her, well… inevitably seeing deeper her cleavage that shows as her collar plunges. I then stare at her face and then she smiles sweetly. We straighten and then I hear Sakura hum in undue panic and then she says, "Hey, Naruto. Aren't you feeling better? We have to go for the Stargazing! It's about to start!"
"The telescopes must have arrived and the rain is about to stop. Are you going with us?" Neji says and then Hinata holds my hand as if telling me to get on my feet and come with them. But I can't just go like that… their so-called Vanessa the Killer Doll could really be on my tail. If I go with them… I'll be putting them in danger. But I'm scared… Hinata, I'm scared. My hand grips at her hand stronger and then Hinata smiles at her cousin, "Neji-nii-san, we'll just follow you after a while." Neji frowns at me and then nods at her. Sakura then teasingly says in a singsong tone as she holds at Hinata's shoulders to pull her away, "Well, if you don't want to leave… the Killer Doll might be here to get you."
"S-Sakura-san." Hinata says as she gets dragged away by the pinkie… her hands slipping from mine. I just watch them leave and then I see Sakura glare at Hinata for a while. The door closes… I have been left alone in the dark room lit by only a lamp. The sealed window budges to open the sturdy latch and the unexplained presence of wind tries to extinguish the flames. I clutch my hands at the sheets beneath me… hoping not to see another unexplained being.
Little Vanessa, would you like to play?
Little Vanessa, would you like to stay?
My eyes grow wide and my body jerks in fear and panic.
Little Vanessa, are you coming now?
Little Vanessa, are you going now?
I shake my head in denial of what I am hearing. Vanessa… is true? No… she did come for me. I pull my knees closer to my chest and my arms wrap around it.
Little Vanessa, do you want candies bright?
Little Vanessa, do you want to sleep tight?
Someone… please help me…
Little Vanessa, please hear my squeal…
Little Vanessa is here to kill!
I raise my head a little… seeing Vanessa floating before me, her eyes and smirk makes her look ready to cause harm. I stare longer at her and she is about to swing her hand to kill me… when the window finally slams open. A strong breeze forces its way in and the Killer Doll gets thrown away by the sudden surge. I cover my face with my arms and then bring them down after the wind. The Killer Doll shakes her head and screams as if provoking something from afar outside the window. The doll silhouette then descends at the sill and then Vanessa charges at it… a sharp broken arm to stab it.
But then the doll holds out it hand and the motion of the other doll stops much to her surprise. The doll then sways its hand in multiple directions swiftly… sending the Killer Doll to different directions as well, her fragile body slamming against the forcefields that envelops the walls and the ceilings. She gets further broken in every hit and she resorts to scream for mercy. Paralyzed by fear, I gaze at the other doll… which seems to smirk as the broken doll screams in pain and forgiveness. It finally swings it towards the mirror that is magically there.
Vanessa hits the mirror but instead of breaking it, she gets absorbed by it before breaking into countless bits. I then gaze back at the doll that is now staring back at me. I then flatten my back against the headboard as it flies to me… descending at my waist. The doll holds my cheeks again and then it nears its face to mine… but it remains to be a silhouette in my eyes. It lays its forehead at mine and then I watch it smirk… no, it smiles at me. But my energy seems to be getting robbed out of me. I close my eyes as I lose consciousness but I feel somebody lay me down the bed… a little hand lingering at my face.
