Alice is © to EA Games ((*whisper* Challenge Eev-erything)) and the
original Alice in Wonderland and below mentioned alternate title of the
same story is © to the long dead yet still cool Lewis Carroll. I take no
credit for creating any of the characters in this story which are related
to these three items. Only thing I take credit for is writing the story and
for my own original character which may or may not make an appearance.
There..I think I got it all o.o;;;; Enjoy da story, kiddies!
Watashi Wa Yamino Wonderland
I've been lost for so long that I don't know where I came from. Much less who I am. Do I have a home? A family? But most importantly, a name? I've been wandering in this strange and dark land for what seems an eternity, and I'm no closer to finding my way back home than when I arrived here so long ago. I suppose I should start at the beginning, as it is the beginning where most adventures, no matter how lost, open and write the story. It began with an accident.
Chapter I: The Pharaoh's Mistake
Have you ever read the book "Through The Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There"? You probably have, but under the slightly shorter title of "Alice in Wonderland".
My first mistake, or shall I put it, the first in a series of mistakes, was accepting an invitation from Kaiba Corporation to test their new virtual reality game, which Mokuba, without the supervision of his elder, more mature sibling Seto, designed on his own.
Knowing the boy myself, I thought there would be no harm in helping him test his new game, which he had apparently based on the Lewis Carroll classic, "Alice in Wonderland". I believed it would be a harmless children's game. My gods, how wrong I was..
Rutledge Mental Institution
Case #46986414
Patient Name: Yugi Mutou
Physician in Charge: Dr. S.K. Lee
Date: October First, Two Thousand and Three
Wonderful news! Today Rutledge receives quite an honor. A new patient arrives into our care today, but he is no ordinary patient. Today we accept into our care the young Yugi Mutou, champion of the Duelist Kingdom and Battle City Duel Monsters tournaments!
I have already been briefed in his condition, which seems to have remained consistant even an entire year after his unfortunate accident. Strangely, his medical files contain no information of what kind of 'accident' the young Mr. Mutou was involved in, except that it left him heavily burned over half of his body, mentally and physically paralyzed, and unresponsive to the outside world.
I only hope that we can restore this young man to his former state, and bring his mental instability to an end...

Falling.
I'd never fallen for such a long time.
This hole is so deep.
I can't see the light.
Its been like this for so long that I'm not even quite sure I remember what light looks like. So long I've been trapped in the dark, just falling like this. I didn't expect it to end so soon; or with such a bone rattling landing. A cloud of dust billowed around my landing place, leaving me choking for clean air and wondering at what desolate destination I had arrived.
Rising, I dusted my black pants and dark navy trench coat of the ashy substance I had landed in and took a survey of what I can only describe as the most bleak and hauntingly disturbing landscape I had ever seen. Trees, or at least, tall, gangly, ill looking sticks which protruded from the ground, wishing to be trees, dotted the deserted ashen land.
It was spotted with rock formations which jutted sharply from the ground like knives through the skin of the earth. I had never been in such a place before. Or had I? It seemed so hauntingly familiar, yet held such raw unfamiliarity that it sent shivers through my spine.
After the dust of my unceremonious arrival had cleared, I saw a winding path which led to what seemed to be a tunnel. The tunnel itself seemed to be the gathering place for all the shadows which the objects on the surface seemed to lack. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I walked slowly towards this dark tunnel; even if reluctantly.
I had grown to dislike the dark; darkness had always brought bad things to my door.
