The Doll House

It was a worn and spine-chilling home, that gave her the sense of trepidation, as if an ominous threat hid in the shadows. Lost in what seems like a bad nightmare, can kagome find a way to wake up, or is this a boundless nightmare for all who step into...The Doll House.

The Doll House

-x-x-x-

A long time ago, before the age of Kings and Queens, before Dinosaurs and Dragons...there was...a tree. The tree grew, into what was now called the, Tree of Ages. This tree was most prominent in Japan, on a Shrine called the Sunset Shrine. However, what many did not know, was that this tree, stretched over many lands, from underneath. There was only one other tree that was connected to the Tree of Ages. However, for many years, these two trees grew to outstanding sizes. A man, one day came, and cut down the twin tree to the Tree of Ages. He created with the wood of the tree, a house...a house that took vengeance on any and all...who entered.

Now...700 years later, the house remains...with a cellar, locked and the house itself, sealed forever...or is it.

-x-x-x-

Kagome looked up, staring at the old and worn down house. She shivered and looked down at the piece of paper in her hand.

"This is the right place...but...is it inhabitable...?"

"That was my thought too, when I was dragged to live in this haunted hell house." Kagome jumped and felt chills run down her spine before turning to see a guy with medium length blonde hair that fell just above his shoulder and light blue eyes. He was holding four grocery bags in his lightly toned arms. Dressed in Black spandex pants and a tight black leather vest and black boots, he started towards the gate.

Kagome jumped slightly and moved to open the gate for him. He walked past her without muttering a single thank you. Hesitantly, she followed him inside. He walked into the foyer, she followed down the worn down halls before coming into the kitchen.

"Either coming in here was a stupid dare or you're Higurashi."

Kagome frowned but replied none the less, "The latter, you are?"

"You call me Mello."

"Is that your actual name?"

"As far as you're concerned, it is."

"...right."

She watched him move about the kitchen, putting food where they were meant to go. She memorized the set up as much as she could, while she had the chance.

"I spoke with someone named...Matt, over the phone. He mentioned three occupants. I'm not so dense that I can't figure out that you are obviously one of the three, but where are Matt and the other occupant?"

"Matt...is behind you." Kagome's eyes widened and she turned around, sure enough, leaning against the cracked doorframe was an auburn haired boy with green eyes, staring at her and smiling.

"Do you boys make it a habit to sneak up behind people?"

"We don't try to, it's just too easy." Matt said with a smile.

"...of course."

"As for sheep boy, who the fuck cares!" Kagome jumped and looked back at Mello, shock evident on her features.

"You...must not like him."

"That's an understatement if I've ever heard one." Matt said. "So...do you clean?"

"...oh...funny. If you think because I'm a girl I'll be your house keeper, you are sorely mistaken!"

"Oh, no, that's not it...we have cleaned all of the bedrooms upstairs, the living room and most of the kitchen."

"Then...what?"

"Mello was going to clean the fridge yesterday, but...he only got as far as opening it before slamming the door shut."

"Moldy?"

"Moving..." Mello muttered.

"Something...moved...in the fridge?"

Mello put the last few boxes of cereals in the pantry by the fridge, "..."

"Okay, uh...my stuff will be coming later. My brother is bringing it by. So, if you could just show him to whichever room is mine, I'd be very grateful. I'll...get started on the haunted fridge."

"Haha, right."

Kagome smiled at both the embarrassed blonde and amused auburn head boys. Turning, she took a guess and moved to the pantry beneath the sink, sighing in relief at the sight of the cleaning chemicals and utensils. She grabbed a mask, trash bag, scrub and cleaning sprays. They watched as she headed to the fridge before deciding to take their leave.

Kagome fixed the mask on her face before opening the fridge, her eyes widened and she felt her gag reflexes respond to the disgusting eye-opener before her. She shivered before unscrewing the top of the cleaners and empting the contents of two different bottles in the fridge before slamming the door shut and leaving the kitchen well before removing the mask.

"Matt! Mello! Where are you guys!?" She called out; loud jumping from above notified her of their position. Moving to the stairs she caught a glimpse of a cellar door on the floor behind the staircase before shaking her head and climbing her way up the stairs and down the hall towards the jumping. Matt stopped upon seeing Kagome standing there.

"No good?"

"I just emptied a bottle of EZ Off and Crystal CL3AN 3 in the fridge. If that doesn't clean the inside after sitting for a few minutes, I say throw it out and get a new one. By the way, nothing moved."

"I swear, something moved inside that fridge!"

"Well, if something had been in the fridge...it's probably dead now. Nothing could live long term in that...stuff!"

Matt was laughing at this point, both Kagome and Mello glared at him for making sport of such a disgusting matter.

"Oh...the cellar behind the staircase...what's down there?"

"Don't know, don't care." Matt said, taking a nail from the bowl Mello held and climbing onto the ladder.

"What, scared?" Kagome asked, watching him draw the hammer back and bring it down onto the nail.

-Bang-

"This house, according to the landlord dude...has had bad luck with past owners. That cellar is locked; my guess is that it's locked for a reason."

-Bang-

"So you're scared."

-Bang-

"No, I'm just not stupid." He took another nail that Mello handed him. "Just because I'm not tempting my luck in a house that has had all past occupants disappear in it, doesn't make me―"

-Bang-

"...scared."

Kagome watched him hammer away and noticed that the room was set up with a black ash wood bed and a dark charcoal comforter with black sheets, four pillows were on the bed, two white and the other two black. A large arch window was behind the bed with chiffon white curtains and black curtains over the white, separated two the sides and tied with silver rope. The floor was white carpet and on the wall that Matt and Mello was working on were purposely misaligned crosses of different types.

"Is this your room Mello?"

"Hm? Why do you think it's mine?"

"..." She ran her index finger over her neckline and he followed her finger, frowning. "Your rosary, I noticed you had a rosary."

"Oh...yeah. I suppose the crosses do give it away."

"Mm," She walked up to the window and looked out before smiling and walking out of the room.

"..." The two glanced at the girl before shrugging and continuing with what they were doing.

-x-x-x-

"Sis, where is your roo―"

-Bang-

"...never mind."

Kagome smiled and moved to help her brother carry her boxes upstairs.

"Mello!" She called out; he came out of the room as she got to the top. "Where is my room?"

"You are two on the right from where you're standing." He walked in front of her and opened the door for her before returning back to Matt.

"Thanks," She called back to him, her brother and her brought boxes after boxes into her room before the moving truck was finally unloaded of boxes.

The two sat on the front porch, unaware of the two coming down stairs.

"Hey sis, you know...mom didn't mean―"

"Souta, I can't forgive her, she insulted not just me, but you too. She pretty much called us a mistake. Dad is dead, he's been dead for seven years, and it's time she woke up and realized...he isn't coming back."

"She was drunk when she said it."

"More of a reason for me to leave. She is using dad's death as another excuse to drink. I understand drinking your pain away during a few months after the death, but seven years...it's just a broken crutch that she keeps gluing back together temporarily. She will no doubt realize one day, that everything close to her is disappearing, I suggest, if you don't want that to happen bro, you had better get her some decent help."

"Yeah...I get it, well then, you take care. Give me a call if you need anything."

"I will, don't worry."

She watched him get back into the truck and leave, heaving a sigh before standing and walking upstairs to her room and past the two boys who had been hiding on the other side of the foyer, out of sight but still in hearing range.

"So her dad is dead."

"And her mom is in denial." Mello finished for Matt.

"Guess we all have our secrets."

"Only difference, Matt, our secrets are still secrets."

"...true. But perhaps not all of her secrets have been discovered."

"Obviously; I'm not so foolish as to believe that they are."

(4 hours later)

Kagome brought a midnight blue comforter into the air, black and white butterflies were in the corner, and she brought it down on her white bed and folded it back at the top before placing three big and fluffy white pillow cased pillows on her bed. Looking around her room, she smiled in approval before walking out of her room and down stairs; she entered the kitchen and sighed in annoyance before grabbing the mask, gloves and scrubbers. Making her way to the fridge, she threw the door open and went to cleaning it.

'This...willnever...happen again.'

She heard the front door open thirty minutes later and pulled her head from inside the fridge. She looked up as Mello and Matt walked in with a couple more bags.

"We got some things for the bathroom upstairs. Shampoo, Conditioner, bath rug, soap, soap holder, toothbrush holder, razors, toothpaste, and all of that girly stuff you might need. We got those fluffy towels in different colors and washcloths, bubble bath stuff, then we also got shower gels and...You can see it all when you're done, no doubt the bath will be your next stop when you are done with the fridge." Mello said as he headed upstairs to set the bathroom up.

"Yeah,"Kagome muttered.

"We got you some food too, since we don't want to keep tonight. Its right...next to the creepy mold covered thing on the counter." Matt told her, examining the thing on the counter with disgust.

"Oh, yes. That's Maggie."

"Maggie..."

"Yes, I named it Maggie."

Matt frowned and looked at her with a raised brow.

"I know what you're thinking..."

"No, I don't think you do."

"That is the thing Mello cowered away from, the so called thing that moved."

"It is? What is it?"

"I'll find out later."

"Right, you enjoy cleaning, I'm going to finish my room."

Kagome nodded and watched as he glanced once more at the moldy thing before turning and leaving. Kagome finished the fridge up about twenty minutes later. Keeping the gloves on, she grabbed the moldy object and brought it to the sink, washing it of the guck, she managed to get a better look at it. The messy and tangled brown hair, teary looking glass eyes, and the painted black tear on the porcelain skin.

'It's...a doll...'
