Shiori Novella One-shots

Another Shiori Prank

"Hey you! Yes, you! In need of a lovable, cute plushie?! Don't answer because we know you'll say yes! This mini Shiori comes with two-toned black and white hair that flows in the wind, golden eyes that judge the numerous sins within your soul, and arms that will grab that leftover cupcake in the fridge when you're not looking! So, what are you waiting for? Do it now, and we'll even throw in a special flashlight feature through her eyes that is sure to haunt you while you sleep!"

With an ad like that, you couldn't resist getting one yourself. Its sly smile is even more wicked up close with the way the lips curl unnaturally upwards. With the soft plushie now nestled in your arms, its bright eyes seem to glare at you-awaiting your plans with how you can rule over the world with her.

As you walk home, the doll feels warm in your arms. You smirk, realizing what's going on.

"So, Shiori, how is it being carried?" you whisper to the doll.

The doll shifts in your arms on its own, as if uncomfortable.

"How'd you know?" it whispers back. "I thought my disguise was perfect!" the voice pouts.

"Well, it might've been more convincing if you hadn't used a NovelKnight to do your ad..." you sigh, chuckling under your breath. "Should I put you down?"

"No! I want you to carry me home!" Shiori whines. "After all, it takes a lot of work to turn back!"

You can't help but smile at her as the little doll arms flail. It's surreal seeing a doll move on its own like this, especially when you remember the different horror movies about dolls that move on their own.

"Alright, let's go home then..." you say softly as you place the doll on your shoulders. The warmth of the soft doll legs is strangely off-putting.

Maybe it's because the warmth is coming from something that shouldn't be warm to begin with.

The two of you make your way home, chatting happily as you try to ignore the odd looks people are giving you and the looks of horror Shiori is receiving in her doll form.

"By the way, Shiori, please change back as soon as we get home. This is really creepy," you beg her. As much as you try to ignore it, it's still really weird that a doll is warm like a person.

She even smells good like this. You can't tell if you should be creeped out, or just enjoy the moment.

"Hm... I don't know! What should I do...?" you can hear the teasing in her voice as she pretends to think about what to do.

You groan in reply and continue walking home, doing your best to ignore the looks from those around you.
