Chapter One- Chasing Rabbits

Ichigo sat lazily against a tree. It was a nice calm quite day for once. No Hollows that he could detect. It was just a quiet normal day. Thank goodness. He couldn't remember the last time he had had one of those. He was a teenage boy. He needed some normal days in his life.

He watched his sisters play out in the distance. His father….being his father…

He sighed content, feeling his eyelids become heavy. It would be a shame to fall asleep on such a nice day like this. But maybe just a quick nap wouldn't hurt.

He was about to let his sleepy mind take over when he saw a familiar face dart past him. "I'm late!"

Sleepiness forgotten he sat up straight.

Running as fast as she could was non other than Kuchiki Rukia.

"Oi!" he called after her but she paid no attention to him.

Ichigo frowned. It was unlike Rukia to just ignore him like that. It was than he noticed two long white fluffy looking things coming out of her head.

His frowned deepened. Rabbit ears. That was taking her stupid rabbit obsession to far. He got up to chase after her.

"Hey Rukia!" he shouted running after his friend.

She turned her head to look at him. "I can't talk, I'm late!"

Late for what? He wondered.

She waved a rather large pocket watch at him, still running.

"Wait!" he called, curious about all the insanity that she was emitting.

Before he could catch her she jumped down a rather large hole in the ground. Irritated with the whole situation he jumped in after her.

He noticed at once that he fell very slowly. He was certain that Rukia hadn't fallen this slowly. At this rate she was just going to get further ahead of him. He sighed as this fall was certainly taking forever. He crossed his arms thinking that it was really rather stupid of him to jump into a hole without at least thinking a little bit about it first. Had he learned nothing from his last stay in a large hole? Stranded for three days, nearly turning into a complete Hollow. Guess not.

After what really seemed like the rest of his what was once a normal day, his feet hit solid ground.

"Late, so late!"

There was that idiot Rukia! She ran through the hallway they were in and around the corner. He continued to chase turning the exact same corner only to find no Rukia. Only a room filled with many doors.

He scratched the back of his head annoyed. Which door did that rabbit crazy woman go through? He gave a tug at every door only to find them all locked. Now this was obnoxious. He thought about just knocking a door down. He probably could.

However before he could put that plan into action his eyes locked onto a small golden key on a small table in the room.

The key did unlock one of the doors. Of course it wouldn't be a door he'd be able to get through. It was only about a foot tall. He felt his eye twitch. This must be Rukia's idea of a sick joke.

He went back to the table, irritated at how things were turning out.

Now there was a bottle that he was certain hadn't been there before. On the bottle read; Drink Me.

Ichigo glared at the bottle. He had done stupider things than drink unmarked bottles of potentially poisonous and dangerous liquids, still it was still a stupid thing to do. He glared at the bottle a little longer, with a defeated sigh he drank the whole thing.

He found himself shrinking. Only about nine or ten inches. That was all very well, now he could go through the door, and figure how to get to his regular size later. There was always Orihime in a worse case scenario. She could fix anything.

Ichigo walked up to the door only realizing that he had left the key on the table. The millions of ways he was going to make Rukia pay for this flooded into his mind.

Oh yes she would pay.

Wondering what in the world he was going to now his eyes again saw something he was sure hadn't been there before. A little box under the table. With a shrug he made his way to it, and opened the small box. Inside was a cake that said; Eat Me.

He again glared at the item in front of him. If he ate this cake and he got bigger then he'd be able to get the key. If it made him even smaller then he would be able to slip under the door. It was a win, win in a way. The real win would be to go back in time and ignore that Rukia. But to little to late. It was what it was.

So with a shrug he ate the cake in front of him.

A/N

This was really a friend's idea. She was talking about how a certain character would be a great Cheshire Cat. And I was able to place the rest of the characters into their just about perfect positions. Of course it was a toss up on who should be Alice. It was either Ichigo with the cast that there is now. Or Aizen with an Espada cast. Ichigo won. Fret not. Aizen will be the lead in a Wizard of Oz story that I'll put up later tonight. He and an Espada cast. Based on the book more so than the movie. Good times all around. Stay tuned for more. Reviews are loved.
