"FATHER!" The doll screamed. Her visible golden eye was wide. She put her hands over her heart and screamed in pain. She crumpled to the ground, shadowy figures stalked around her whispering. "We can't let her die like this-its wrong!" "I can, she's a demon." More whispers. The doll's form shook, she looked up, Tears spilling down her face. "Father-father, help me where are you?" Her voice was raspy and frightened. One of the shadowy figures stepped up placed it's hand on her shoulder gave a wide smile and- He woke up gasping for breath.

He sat there gasping, shaking for a few moments. The other six cases, all with the letters E.K. and a sword imprinted on them in gold, were shut. He stood up padded over to one of the cases. "Onii-sama." He whispered, rapping on the case softly. The cases stayed shut but a voice form inside grumbled out. "If you had a nightmare again go see father Shin. I want to sleep tonight." "Yes Onii-sama." He muttered softly. Shin silently walked out of the room into the workshop. A man was bent over a table muttering tenderly. "Father." Shin said, looking up at the table. The man looked down. "I'm working; we can talk for a minute before I have to go back." He reached down and plucked the doll up and set him on his lap. Shin shuffled and laid his head against his father. 'I had a nightmare." His father stiffened. "What was it about?" He murmured. "A girl, a girl doll," He corrected. ", was in so much pain. She was screaming for her father, the other dolls around her merely watched. I couldn't see their faces really. Hers was blurry too, but she had white hair and a gold eye. I couldn't see the other one. It was really…scary." His father stroked his white hair and stayed silent. Shin shut his eyes. "Can I stay up with you?" The man hesitated, watching Shin for a moment. The doll stared up with wide ice blue eyes. "Ok." He worked into the morning but Shin stayed with his father faithfully and when his brothers awoke they came upon Shin, their father, and a strange sleeping doll in purple. If only they knew what would happen to their comfortable lives when their father put that key in her back and wound.

A very long plot this little drabble has. It would take place in the anime verse months after the whole Barasuishou plot. Shin and his brothers would technically belong to my friend and I. Shin is the youngest and would be a counterpart to Kirakishou. He has strange dreams quite often. Shin means reality or truth and his dreams happen to be related to his name. yeah confusing? Im sorry if it is ^^;; It's a prologue that will be in a poll soon on my profile involving this and some others drabbles. You guys will get to vote on which one you want make into a full length story.
