The Shopkeeper's Assistant

-*Ikuto's P.O.V.*-

"Hey mister! How much is this dinosaur?" a little boy screamed at me. I rolled my eyes "That cost fifty yen…" I sighed.

"Are you serious? Can you give me a discount?" he cried out again. "Depends, how much do you have?" I leaned against the counter top and eyed the particular toy. The boy pulled out forty yen.

I finally gave in. "Here." I handed him the toy and only took thirty-five. "Thanks!" the child squealed delightedly as he took off out the door…

I rested my head on my hands and scanned all the toys around me. I never knew that working as an assistant in a toyshop would be exhausting! Being flocked by kids, all screaming out that they want this toy, arranging the mess they leave behind, breaking up fights between three or four kids…

I didn't want this job in the first place! However, what can I do, I needed the money! And compared to the other job offerings, the pay here was triple than what they were offering…

I ran my fingers through my midnight blue hair before proceeding to the storage at the back. There were about five boxes filled with new toys that needed unpacking. I sat down on a chair and sliced open the top of the first box. It was filled with Barbie dolls… Ugh… I brought the box out to the store and began to place them on the shelves.

Finally, I had one more box to go. I was just about to slice it open when I read the words: Fragile Handle with Care! I opened the box slowly to find it filled with porcelain dolls…

Huh, must be a new addition. These were new. I carried the box gently in my arms as I brought it to the store. There was an empty section near the counter, with three vacant shelves. I began to unpack the dolls slowly and carefully. There were different kinds. No two were the same…

But the one on the bottom… was what caught my attention…

Her skin was pale yet creamy; her lips were slightly parted. Her eyes were like deep pools of liquid gold and her bubble gum pink hair was fixed stylishly into a loose and messy ponytail… Her expression was nonchalant…

She dressed in a black and grey Lolita dress with fishnet leggings and knee-high boots. In addition, she had a small black cape with a hood that had cat ears attached to it.

For a doll, she was gorgeous! I seemed hesitant to place her on the shelf… I mean, this kind of doll should be placed in a museum!

Reluctantly, I placed her beside the English doll. It was the spot closest to the counter where I worked…

I took a step backward. The Lolita doll's eyes seemed to follow me; saying, "So, what do you plan to do now, huh?"

"There's nothing to do here actually. I guess I just better close up…" I muttered. She seemed to respond, "Fine, do whatever you want. It's your life, not mine."

"You're right, it's my life…" I sighed then shook my head "What the heck has gotten into me? I'm talking to a doll!"

-*Normal P.O.V.*-

The young man closed the lights and locked up the back room. He turned once more to the mysterious; intimidating Lolita doll before leaving the shop…

The doll's eyes followed him as he walked down the nearly empty street. Her face remained vacant and her pale skin seemed luminescent in the darkness of the toy store…

Her golden eyes glowed in the dark…

Blackimi: YAY! I'm done!

Amu: That wasn't so bad...

Ikuto: What the fuck am I doing working in a toy shop?

Blackimi: Watch your language, you cat-eared cosplaying pervert! (suddenly brings out a pen)

Ikuto: (smirks) What are you gonna do, stab me to death?

Blackimi: (twists the pen and a scythe suddenly forms in her hands) (I DID NOT TAKE THIS FROM PERCY JACKSON! I'VE HAD THIS IDEA LONG BEFORE THE MOVIE CAME OUT!)

Ikuto: Oh shit...

(the chase begins)

Amu: Whatever. Those two idiots... R&R!
