Unbeta-ed

After I bought the manga a few months ago, I immediately fell in love with Julius Monrey, but was sad when I didn't see many stories out there with him. This idea just wouldn't leave me alone, so I had to write it. My hope is to have this spark new interest in this manga/game Alice in the country of Hearts and/or Clover. Or whichever Country they have out by the time this story is posted and read. (I think there's four at this point, Hearts/Clover/Diamond/Joker)

I was debating on having this as just a one-shot / two-shot in my oneshot collection, but I decided to make it a multiple chapter story instead.

Story

She was falling backwards, looking towards the clear blue sky above her as the opening became smaller and smaller the further she fell. Hope filled in her eyes.

The flash of a white hair and a sliver blade caused her eyes to go wide with fear. Blood sprayed forth, tainting the blue sky in its red ink. Drops of the red iron splashed on her cheek and tears gushed from her eyes.

"NO!" She screamed out, almost bursting her lungs as she reached for him in a vain attempt.

The tears continued to stream down her face even after the familiar magic of the well surrounded her as she was falling in the blackness. She clamped her eyes shut, and sobbed in her hands, her heart breaking in two.

No…

It wasn't until several moments of her whaling filled the empty well, that she realized she was still falling. She lowered her hands, glancing around with uncertainty. She checked with her blurry vision, then paused and looked again. She rubbed her eyes, to clear them of the tears to help her see better, but when she scanned around her, it was still the same sight.

Normal household objects where floating in the air around her as she fell through nothingness…

"This hasn't happened before." She whispered, her despair distracted momentarily by her confusion. What is going on?

You should go to sleep… You're very tired…

The deep and calm voice echoed, and she tried to turn and see where the source of the voice was coming from, yet she couldn't see anything but darkness and oddities. In her twisting and turning, she somehow flipped, and was now falling forward, and she noticed that all the objects were not falling down with her, but upwards instead.

You should go to sleep.

The voice called to her again, and she growled.

You're very tired.

"I'm not—Oomph!" She gave a small grunt when she landed harshly on a large bed.

The vibration from her hit caused the whole frame and mattress to wobble on impact, before it shifted, adjusting to the new weight, and became straight once more. Yet Kagome just stayed on her hands and knees, staring at the red satin cover that was below her, before glancing at the dark wooded headboard and frame.

What is-? She released a large yawn, her eyes suddenly feeling heavy.

"You should go to sleep." Kagome glanced up, and saw a man standing on the end of the bed frame, as if he weighted nothing. His outfit was strange, and his hat, along with his extremely pointed shoes with bells placed at the end of them suggested he was some kind of jester.

"Who are…?" She felt her mind become a haze, as she moved so that she was sitting on her rump, and rubbing her eyes.

"You're very tired…"

She nodded her head in agreement at his words. He smiled a sad smile, as he looked at her with his right eye, his left covered by an eye patch. She slowly crawled to the head of the bed, and got under the covers.

"You are thirsty…" He floated over the bed, towards her, and his hand reached out to her, in it was a pretty glass vial, with a heart shaped stopper. "You should drink this."

She licked her suddenly dry lips, and her throat felt parched. She reached out and took the offered drink from him, and without hesitation popped the top, drinking the containments inside of it. Her thirst being quenched, she reached it back out for him to take.

He just shook his head, the bells at the ends of his hat jingled at the movement, and he held up his hand. "Keep it. It's precious to you."

She held the glass container up to in the center of her chest protectively. "Thank you…" He just continued to smile sadly at her, and she laid down on the bed, resting her head on the comfortable pillow. "I should go to sleep…" She mumbled to herself as she closed her extremely heavy eyelids. "I'm very tired…"

Joker grabbed the edge of the covers, pulling them up and tucking the woman in. Seeing a blemish on her otherwise perfectly pale features, he reached out with his gloved hand, and wiped away the red blotch of blood from her cheek.

And removing all the bad memories that came with it…

"Sweet dreams, Kagome."

Hey guys, started this new story! I know I already have a lot, but please don't kill me! This has been bugging me for a long time, and I just have to get it off of my chest. Since I've been working on my bleach story, Spirit's Revenge, I've been able to get back into my writing spirit again. (lol, bad pun there, sorry. XD) So I thought I would expand and work on this as well.

There's a few other stories I have to update too, hopefully I'll get to them soon. This story is naturally going to have short chapters, so I might update this one faster than the others that have way more length in them.

Please review, tell me what you think! I went with Joker instead, because a lot of people use Peter White, I even read a nightmare one… That was good. So I thought I would make a fresh new look and have Joker be the one who brought her to Wonderland! See you guys in my next post, which might be soon~!
