One liners, themes from Kia's journal

[reiner_rubin]

I-I was going to write drabbles, but I couldn't be motivated until I saw the one liners so... Here you go!

#01 - Motion
Almost everyone Shinku met were amazed at such a doll being capable of motion, but she did not think they should be praising her; she would not be living if not for her father the one she loved most

#02 - Cool
It was during the cool of the night that Shinku visited Haine to converse casually or just drink tea sitting next to him; even so, the maiden knew Haine could never be at peace even under the stars.

#03 - Young
Hina Ichigo acted the youngest despite her rank as the sixth doll; but Shinku always noted that Hina Ichigo was their fellow Rozen Maiden and felt the same despair and hopelessness they all had throughout their existence.

#04 - Last
This peace couldn’t last long, Shinku thought to herself grimly as she cast her gaze upon Hina Ichigo as she happily rode on top of the white crown of a rather disgruntled Haine.

#05 - Wrong
There was something wrong with letting creatures such as Papillion exist in the world Shinku thought decidedly as she fruitlessly tried to be rid of the  images of flitting purple butterflies inside her mind.

#06 - Gentle
There was something about Nill’s gentle nature that attracted Shinku to the brightly blue eyed ange winged girl; perhaps it was because she remembered her to be that way except she had no heart of her own at the time and not at all like the pure Nill.

#07 - One
There could only be one Alice; and yet nearly no one she told about the Alice Game wanted any of the sisters to go through with such a tragic fate.

#08 - Thousand
Zelman turned out to be at least more than a thousand years old and Shinku regrettably felt flattered when he told her she was still very young.

#09 - King
Shinku often showed herself off as a queenly figure and no one else was fit to be her king; no one on the island and not even her closest medium for there were limits to how far that would go.

#10 - Learn
Despite being stranded on the island, the only thing Shinku bothered to learn about were the usual dangers of alcoholic coconuts, cursed springs, and wild animals; otherwise, she had servants such as Watanuki and the Ansem doll given to her by Riku  to meet her daily tea time quota.

#11 - Blur
The days passed by to someone as ancient as Shinku like a blur.


#12 - Wait
The sisters all knew Otou-sama was waiting; but for now they would have to wait as well until they found their escape even though they didn’t exactly know if they should run back to what they wanted most.

#13 - Change
Nothing much had changed for Shinku except maybe the fact that she couldn’t have Hanamaru Hamburger as frequently, but the tea tasted SO much more delightful.

#14 - Command
Shinku’s command was law when uttered out and the Noah, David, felt he pressed his luck way too much when he insulted the doll’s father as he stood in the middle of brightly glowing pinkish red needles that were previously harmless looking rose petals.

#15 - Hold
Shinku never allowed anyone to hold her closely unless she told them to do so, but Watanuki kept violating this unspoken rule as he held her in his arms as a sign of comfort; surprisingly Shinku found herself accepting this form of affection as she was free to let her feelings spill inside without having to cry.

#16 - Need
She didn’t know what she needed as she told a silent Li Shenshung of her and her sister’s inevitable clash; she wanted to know if it was all right and if it was at least a reason to be living.

#17 - Vision
Even though there were so many beings she met on the island, none could compare to the warmth Shinku longed for so much from her father.

#18 - Attention
Not much passed by Shinku's attention especially when Haine was in one of his moods.
#19 - Soul
The Rozen Maiden’s most valued treasure was their Rosa Mysticas; Shinku vowed to never lose hers on the island for the sake of the new people she had come to add to her ever-growing memories.

#20 - Picture
The sword-weilding woman Naoto had a small feeling she was the only one Shinku distinctly mentioned the beautiful brooch to for it was the only image of her father that showed that he was ever there at all.

#21 - Fool
The human Ky Kiske was an idiot of sorts, but Shinku didn’t think of him as a fool… That was of course until Hina Ichigo happily informed her that Ky was the one who taught her the song and dance to, “I’m a Little Teapot.”

#22 - Mad
The only one brave enough to incite Shinku’s wrath was Papillion; after all dolls were meant to be toyed with.

#23 - Child
None of the Rozen Maidens were children for they knew too much sadness to be such before they were taken to the island.

#24 - Now
Tea  time, was everyday and Shinku didn’t mind the least bit when Li began gorging down the tea snacks for company was always welcome every now and then.

#25 - Shadow
She didn’t like the dark for the shadows casted by the trees gave impressions of black feathers; she was pleasantly perplexed as to why Haine told her to follow him after she told him of that fear.

#26 - Goodbye
Shinku wasn’t sure if she was prepared to say goodbye.

#27 - Hide
The only place Shinku had to hide was her case and her N-Field and fortunately Papillion had NO idea of where the second place was.

#28 - Fortune
It was hard to tell if fortune was hiding a smirk as Shinku and her sisters lived side by side together as sisters when it could all change and they would have to turn each other into junk.

#29 - Safe
Shinku felt no safety in Muraki’s words of praise of her beauty even though they were words she longed most to hear from Otou-sama.

#30 - Ghost
Suigintou was gone; Shinku was sure of it… And yet her dreams were still haunted by the sister she turned into trash.

#31 - Book
Shinku suddenly remembered that she had previously ordered a special copy of the Detective KunKun episode guide at home; later that evening as they were conversing, Salome couldn’t figure out why Shinku was looking so depressed at the full moon as if some she were some love sick teenager.

#32 - Eye
Whenever Shinku looked at someone, her eyes were completely trained to stare you down until you listened to what she had to say.

#33 - Never
She would never allow Hina Ichigo to become broken as long as she had those humans and other beings to be her family when their own was to be taken apart by battle.

#34 - Sing
She never heard herself sing until Li Shenshung pointed it out and it was one of the few rare moments Shinku looked taken aback.

#35 - Sudden
The twin’s appearance was so sudden and almost frightening because to Shinku it meant their life on the island would soon resume to the same terrible thing.

#36 - Stop
Shinku didn’t want to stop being awake for she was afraid she would fall asleep and the island would never allow her to wake up.

#37 - Time
Oddly enough, Shinku’s pocketwatch still worked for she could scold the sheepish , but cheerful Yamamoto for being late for their boat excursion.

#38 - Wash
There was not much to wash, but their clothes and Shinku wished Nori was there to put her care into them for it wasn’t the same doing servant’s work because she didn’t trust anyone with her clothing.

#39 - Torn
Shinku was torn between trying to help Haine’s heart and letting him be to choose his own way; she allowed him to let him carve his way each day because she could tell he was more inclined to do the second.

#40 - History
It was a pleasant surprise to meet people from the 19^th century for Shinku despite the bad history that began there.

#41 - Power
Shinku housed amazing power, but seldom used them for they weren’t really as useful as Suiseiseki or Souseiseki’s gardening items for they could do one thing she couldn’t do directly; nurture the soul with utmost kind and care.

#42 - Bother
Morita was a bother to most, but Shinku was secretly amused by the hyperactive human and his antics.

#43 - God
God was someone most believed that created humans out of love; if that was the case Shinku and her sisters regarded their father as their lord.

#44 - Wall
No matter what, there was always that invisible wall between her and those of flesh and blood; Jun wasn’t there this time to fix her.

#45 - Naked
Shinku didn’t feel much shame when she took off her clothes in front of Watanuki since she still had on her underclothes and since he was now unofficially her servant, he would have to get used to the sight of ball-joints.

#46 - Drive
What sometimes fascinated Shinku was Hina Ichigo’s drive to help her friends although kissing Haine to break his evil spell was probably the fastest way to drive ANYONE away.

#47 - Harm
It wasn’t called harm in Shinku’s book; it’s called discipline.

#48 - Precious
She knew she and her sisters were Otou-sama’s most precious dolls, his most perfect creations; and yet she never expected Hina Ichigo, Suiseiseki, Souseiseki, and herself to gain so many friends who treasured them just as much if not in some ways more.

#49 - Hunger
Shinku didn’t do much to satisfy Hina Ichigo’s hunger except for the occasional tea, but she was sure that she had employed enough unofficial baby-sitters such as Ky and Kougaiji to do the work.

#50 - Believe
“Some of them say there is no such thing as perfection…,” the fifth doll murmured softly to herself as she stared into her lovely reflection of the mirror, “But there is such thing as Alice.”
