The Ultimate Alice

A Suiseiseki x OC Fanfic

Hey everyone! Tankou001 here with a brand new story. Unlike my previous fics this one is a Rozen Maiden one since I do love the anime, and manga myself XP

Unlike what some people might be thinking this story has none of the other dolls, as actual characters, and in fact takes place after The Alice Game was finished. In the whole victory Suiseiseki was the one to become Alice, and with such a victory she became human. Basically this is my fic of a romance between the new Suiseiseki, and an OC that I am throwing in. I hope It will be a good fic ^_^

Chapter One: Alice Is A Human

A bright light flashed. The final blow had been dealt. Suiseiseki had struck down Suigintou in the final bout for the title of Alice. It was really quite sad, and tears welled in Suiseiseki's eyes as she saw her last sister be crushed at her own hands. The doll fell over, and her Rosa Mystica flew from her body, Suiseiseki snatching the glowing orb out of mid air. Suddenly Suiseiseki was in front of a blond man, face nothing but light it seemed, who was tall, and handsome by physical standards. Suiseiseki new then immediately that it was her Father, Rozen that was greeting her. More tears flowed from her eyes, these happy ones, and she jumped into Rozen's Embrace, not at all noticing that she was now the same size as he instead of being half human height as normal. "Oh Father! I have won your game. I finally get to see you yet again ~ desu!"

She felt Rozen's hands reach around her, and a gentle, masculine voice echoed into her ears as the light that encompassed Rozen's face began to slowly fade, showing the face of a beautiful man whose eyes showed more wisdom than any of the sisters could have imagined. "It is nice to see that you have bested even your twin, Suiseiseki... Still you will find that Alice is more than just a woman in my mind. Look at yourself my daughter, and see what you have become through your hard work."

Slowly Suiseiseki realized the things that she had before overlooked. She had cried when she slew Suigintou. She was as tall as her father, Rozen. She was clothed differently as well. She stepped backward a bit to find herself entirely different. No longer was Suiseiseki just some charmed doll that would be enjoyed from a distance had she failed to win the Alice Game. She looked, and felt, for all intensive purposes, like a human would. Now Suiseiseki stood up in a new sort of body. A mirror appeared in front of her, and Suiseiseki stared at her same old face. She possessed the same mismatched eyes, one red, and one green. Her hair was the same color, and same comparable length, though now in an upright pony tail that would perhaps fit better in the modern human world.

Suiseiseki inspected the rest of her body, noting that she was still the same for the most part everywhere else too. Still she felt different. Her body was not ceramic anymore like it had been as a doll, and she had a fuller figure, one that would turn any man's head in her general direction. Still not much was different about Suiseiseki, and she turned back to Rozen, hurt filling her expression. "Why am I no different ~ Desu?"

Rozen smirked, and stepped up to Suiseiseki again, patting her on the shoulder. "Humanity is true beauty, my daughter. You are who you once were though your form has been perfected through the change to becoming a human rather than a doll. I designed all of you sisters to look, and be the perfect woman in one way or another. Still no matter how I tried a doll would never be truly alive as you are now. You are also changed in only ways that others could find. You may look the same to yourself in most ways, but so many small things have changed. You are truly Alice when I now look at you. You have become that woman that I saw so many years ago. You are a woman more flawless than any gem, more sublime than any flower, and definitely without a touch of impurity. You may not see it now, but when you return to the others they will see what you have become, and come to love it very much."

Suiseiseki could not begin to understand what Rozen meant, and how she was so perfect after becoming Alice, but Rozen had said that she was now Alice, and therefor she must have become Alice in every way. Rozen gestured to the abyss that Suiseiseki, and him stood in, and suddenly a bright light flashed, a doorway opening, and showing Suiseiseki the way out. "You may go back to your friends now, Suiseiseki... You will find the world to have become a bit different now, but the people you had come to love will still be there. I will show myself to them all when the time is right. Just be yourself. You may have taken the title of Alice, but you will always be my Suiseiseki." Rozen stepped back, and Suiseiseki looked at him pitifully before taking her leave out of the doorway, and into the home that was Jun's house.

Something was different it, however. There were all six of her sisters sitting on the couch, though wholly inanimate now. Still they looked a bit dusty, the house looked almost unkempt, though Suiseiseki knew that Nori would have never allowed such a thing. Slowly the doll made human walked through the house, and checked every room one by one. She eventually noticed that she was no longer wearing her doll clothes, a short green skirt, and small green top now covering her, feet entirely bare. The rooms all were empty, even Jun's room, and Suiseiseki thought that perhaps the chibi human had finally left the house for some reason or another. Slowly as she finished touring the house she heard the sound of metal from behind her. She noticed it as the sound of a sword being drawn. "Don't move or I will cut you in half!"

Suiseiseki didn't know the voice from behind her, and slowly turned her head, not yet truly understanding the dangers of human weaponry beyond simple pain. She had never been able to bleed, or anything like that as a doll so she didn't quite understand how fragile her new body was. Behind her was a tall, and well built man of handsome appearance. He had dark brown, spiky hair, and wore glasses similar to what Jun wore. Slowly Suiseiseki made a full turn to totally see who was threatening her. Quickly the man dropped the katana in his hand, and took a step back. "No way... Suiseiseki, that isn't you is it?" Suiseiseki looked at the man as though he was confusing her a bit as he very much was, and he stepped up to her. "It's me, Jun! What happened to you? The Alice Game was happening, and you won and then you were gone, and we were all back home. It's been ten years since you have won that game, and I gave up hope."

Immediately Suiseiseki understood what Rozen had meant when he said that the world would have been a bit different when she got back. Ten years to a human was a lot, and even to a Rozen Maiden it was a good amount of time. She smiled shyly, and looked around a bit more, not bothering to move. The house still seemed the same, however. "It is me~ desu. I saw father, and he showed me what I had become, and then he let me come back~ desu."

Jun seemed almost overjoyed, and took Suiseiseki's hand, leading her back into the living room area, sitting her on the large couch beside all of the other inanimate sisters. "So you are.... Alice, right?" Suiseiseki slowly nodded. "I can't say it turned out bad at least. You could have turned out far worse from my childhood imagination back then. I though you would have crumbled to little bits like what happened the first time with that crystal bitch, but you turned out amazing it seems. Well I am guessing you are wondering what has happened while you were gone." Another nod was given by Suiseiseki to show that she was actually quite curious about the happenings while she had been away, "Well, when you left I went back to school. Found out that it was pretty stupid to stay at home all day, and pity myself. Nori-chan ended up going off to college soon after that with a whole bunch of grants, and scholarships, namely for Lacrosse. I took home courses so I could look after your sisters, and after we both graduated from college Nori-chan left to Hokkaido so that she could play for the National Japan Lacrosse team. I got married too, and Nori-chan is also married, and has twins. There are little girls, and she named them after you, and Souseiseki. If we are lucky they will give her just as much trouble as you gave me."

Jun gave a good laugh at that comment, and Suiseiseki grasped at the joke before feeling angry, and standing up to match Jun's height as he walked to get something from the kitchen. "I was Not too much of a bother~ desu! I cared for you, and kept your tree safe back then~ desu! You just don't understand it all you stupid chibi human~ desu!"

Jun turned on his heel from behind the counter, and smirked at Suiseiseki who only then realized that it had been a joke, and blushingly sat back down to let Jun finish speaking. Jun, Knowing that Suiseiseki had rightfully found herself in the wrong chose to continue without any comment on the outburst. "As I was saying, Nori has had twins, and Tomoe is expecting soon as well." Suiseiseki looked up at Jun, eyes wide from the thought of Jun with Tomoe. "Yeah, that's right. I may have seemed a bit distant from her at times back then, but it was all just to hide my feelings for her. Doctor says she is having a girl, and depending on what she looks like we are going to name her accordingly after one of the other Rozen Maidens. Would you like some tea, perhaps? Shinku taught me at one point the perfect recipe, and it took me four years to dig it up after the Alice Game ended, but I found it, and it is delicious when used with the right leaves."

Suiseiseki stood up from the couch, and walked into the kitchen. She could smell the tea right away as Jun poured it into the cup, and nodded, her mouth instantly making a deep "mmm" sound as she smelled the tea. "Where is the Babysitter now~ desu?"

Jun turned, and smiled. He knew that Suiseiseki wouldn't drop the improper titles of him, and Tomoe if what she hinted was true. Suiseiseki no doubt expected to be brought back to the same world as she had left, and apparently found it much different. To her Jun, and Tomoe were still the chibi human, and Hinaichigo's babysitter. "She is out shopping. She should be back any time now so try not to jump at her when she enters. I know you used to love tricks back then, but both Tomoe, and I are a bit more jumpy as we are now. Tomoe now carries a boken rather than a kendo stick, and she has cracked a few skulls in the past few years. Things have become a bit tense around here what with some of the things happening in the world. A war started in China, and we occasionally get some refugees here who just want to mooch off of us instead of make a new life. And as always there are just stupid teenagers that want to have fun, and Tomoe has knocked more than a few, let me tell you."

Suiseiseki could hardly take in what she was hearing, and flinched a bit as Jun picked up something, and swung it toward her. It was the TV remote, and as he clicked it the TV behind Suiseiseki turned on to show Kun-kun just starting up. Instantly Suiseiseki knew that Jun was keeping the old habit of watching that show alive even though the dolls that sat on the couch were no longer animate. Truly she detested the habit, but she empathized with it. Since the Alice game was long over they couldn't all be kept in their boxes anymore. They would have to see the light of day at some point. It seemed fitting that they got to watch Kun-kun while they were out. "Do you watch that show anymore~ desu? I remember watching it with you all, and enjoying it so much~ desu."

Jun shook his head, and smiled. "I only sit in on occasion. Most of the time I just leave it on for the others until the two hours of TV is over. After that I set Hinaichigo with her old crayons, and put Shinku in front of a good book. Kanaria gets to sit listening to Mozart in the study, and Souseiseki in the a garden chair to enjoy the view. Suigintou is put next to the picture of Megu-chan, and I play the song that Megu-chan sang for her on the recorder, and finally Karakishou gets to sit out next to the rose vines in back. I always place them back in there boxes at nine pm every day so that they can stay to the old schedule. It is to keep everything like old times, though they are all much quieter. I kind of wish, however, that they could talk again."

Suiseiseki was reminded of the other mediums when Megu was mentioned, and couldn't help but to ask. "What happened to the other mediums~ desu? Where did they all go?"

Jun shook his head as he pulled some cookies out of the fridge. "Megu-chan soon after the end of the Alice Game got remarkably better. She left the hospital a month later, and now visits on Tuesdays with me, and Tomoe for tea, and reminiscing. The old man that was Souseiseki's medium passed away two years ago, and I bring Souseiseki every week with Tomoe to visit his grave. Mit-chan was very distraught when Kanaria lost, and wanted to just give up on life, but we helped her out. She is now the co-president of a big time fashion company that is known world wide. You should know too. Your wearing one of her major items. The outfit that you have on is one of the major designs that she made based off of your old outfit. It's supposed to be more modern, but when you look at it without hurrying you can see a lot of the old things that made your dress' style. You'll note it by the layers in the front, and the white area at the front of your shirt. Of course it is all made by one piece each instead of the old dress that you left behind when you became Alice, but it makes a good fashion piece, and symbol of modern dress."

Suiseiseki now looked at her outfit, and noted that Jun was, in fact, correct about everything. Her skirt had three layers around it though not truly layers rather than folded material., and there was a white area that made a square on the front of her shirt. She also noticed a hole bunch of key chains around her waist the held little toy pieces like a small violin, and a watering can. In fact each of the eight pieces were like that of the seven sisters, and their faux sister, Barasuishou. There were eight key chains. Watering can, violin, cane, scissors, strawberry, purple crystal, rose, and finally a small sword with wings at the hilt all hung from various points on Suiseiseki's hips. "What about the key chains~ desu? Do they always come with the outfit, or is this one special~desu?"

Jun looked back over, and inspected the key chains for a bit. "I don't think those come with the normal design, actually. Mit-chan did at one point want to make key chains for the Rozen Maiden weapons, and special items, but she thought against it shortly thereafter. Maybe Rozen gave them to you for some reason. I couldn't begin to understand Rozen, nor the ways of the Rozen Maidens. Maybe you should try to find out what they are for..."

A sound was heard from the entryway, and a very pregnant woman with a boken slung over her shoulder, and a paper grocery bag in each hand stepped into the house. Jun stepped away from Suiseiseki, and went to help her. It was all too clear that it was Tomoe that had entered even if Jun had not told her about Tomoe in the first place. Tomoe currently looked just like her old self from ten years previous aside from the bigger bust, bulging belly, and the fact that she was well taller than she had once been back in middle school. She still carried the normally stoic look of her middle school self as well, but that look deepened to a definite frown when she say Suiseiseki. "Jun... What is a strange woman doing in our home? I don't recall you telling me about anyone like her?"

Jun quickly jumped, and ran over to Suiseiseki, and led her over so that Tomoe could get a better look at her. Tomoe instantly realized that it was Suiseiseki, and quickly set things down, taking the boken from her shoulder, and embracing Suiseiseki without a word. "I am so very sorry, Suiseiseki! I didn't notice you from where you were in the kitchen. Please forgive me. Blame pregnancy stupidity, or some other crazy thing that all of the mothers-to-be talk about. Where have you been all these years?"

Suiseiseki didn't quite like the feeling of being hugged by a human, but she guessed that she, too, was a human now, or something close to it at least. She would have to start acting like a human then. "I only have felt an hour go by at most from when I won the Alice Game to when I was brought back to this place. I never expected ten years to pass in my absence~ desu. I can't say I am not happy that everything turned out alright, though~desu. You look... Big~desu. Is this what happens to humans when they are going to be mothers~desu?"

Tomoe nodded, and smiled as she let go of Suiseiseki, and was helped by Jun with the things that were being brought to the kitchen. "It is exactly what happens to human women, and it looks like you are no longer a doll. I am so used to thinking of you as the doll that only reached my waist, and that would play jokes with the others. I could have never noticed you from the door as who you really were. You have a very nice body if I do say so myself."

Suiseiseki didn't quite know what to say to the comment that Tomoe made about her body so she instead decided to change the subject. "Would you two mind if I stayed here a while~ desu? I will be out as soon as I can be so that I won't bother you~ desu? I..."

Suiseiseki was immediately cut off by Tomoe, and Jun jumping to attention, and striding over to her, sitting her down back on the couch. "You will at l;east stay for dinner Suiseiseki," Tomoe insisted, "Ion fact you may stay as long as you like. We are in no rush to force you out, nor do I even want you gone until I can truly get a feel for you again. I never quite got to know you back when you were a doll. Since you are the last doll left I would only love to spend more time with you. I only wish I could have spent more time with you back ten years ago."

Suiseiseki was a bit overwhelmed by all of the recent things, and smiled out of instinct more than anything. A strange warm feeling rose up inside of her, and she bowed her head a bit. Never before had she felt such a feeling. It was a friendly feeling, and a joyous one. Was this what humans felt that dolls couldn't possibly know? Sure she felt joy, and sadness as a doll, but she never knew that humans felt so very different. "Th-Thank you~ desu. It would be nice to stay a while I suppose~ desu. If you don't mind me asking, what is for dinner~ desu?"

Tomoe looked at Jun, and Jun nodded, and walked to the kitchen. The man rifled through the fridge, and pulled out a pack of hamburger, and a carton of eggs. He turned back to the other two, and smiled wide. "On light of a joyous occasion I would have to say the classic Hanamaru Burger would be proper. It's been so long since we have had them, and although you, Suiseiseki, may only remember having them a day ago I think it would be more than a celebratory meal for us to get back a member of the family again."

Tomoe smiled as well, and Suiseiseki's eyes lit up with happiness. Still there was a strange pressure in her lower abdomen, and it rumbled uncomfortably. She looked at Tomoe who shrugged, and stood her up. "I think you need to use the restroom, Suiseiseki. Humans do that. You know where the bathroom is, and I am sure you should know how to do it all yourself... Don't you?" Fortunately Suiseiseki was made with all of the knowledge of what a restroom was and how to use it, and stood up to take her leave, nodding. She guessed only then that the certifiable reason to know such things is that Rozen had planned on one of the sisters to become human eventually. Why not plant the knowledge of base human needs into them so that they wouldn't have to go through the horrors of learning them in such an adult form.

Despite how simply Human function had seemed before it was rather tedious, Suiseiseki thought. Truly she had no desire to gain humanity if it came with troublesome human functions as well. What was wrong with her old doll body that could eat anyway? Still she supposed it was good that she was working properly, and looked on the bright side as she exited the small room to find Tomoe, and Jun setting the table, and placing Hanamaru Burgers down on ornate plates. Oh how she loved those delicious burgers, and strangely enough her stomach started to growl at the sight of them. It was yet another strange feeling that was completely foreign to her, and she slowly turned back around to re-enter the restroom before being stopped by Tomoe's hand on her shoulder. "I don't think that is a need for the bathroom, Suiseiseki... I just think you are hungry. It means you need to eat. As a doll you had no real need to eat save for the enjoyment of it, but humans require food. Your stomach just wants some food, and I think the Hanamaru Burgers will be what you need."

Suiseiseki sat down blushingly at the table, and began to eat with Tomoe, and Jun. As the piece of burger, and egg entered her mouth she discovered it to easily be the best thing she had ever eaten. Now previous hanamaru burger matched this one, and Suiseiseki realized very soon that the burger was no different from the others. She was simply hungry, and it seemed the taste only was amplified by that hunger. Yet another human function that she would have to deal with, but oh did she love it so much more than the need for a restroom. Being a human had its downsides, but at that moment no bad thing could compare to the good that was a hot meal entering a hungry mouth. It was easily something that Suiseiseki would handle human restroom needs for. Soon enough yet another amazing human process occurred as Suiseiseki finished the burger that she had been eating. The simple feeling of a full stomach was probably the best feeling in the world at that moment. It was better than taking the last cookie, and knowing she would have it all to herself. It was better than messing with Hinaichigo, and laughing at her afterwards. It was even better than slapping Suigintou during the Alice Game for taking Souseiseki's Rosa Mystica.

Suiseiseki looked at the last piece of hanamaru burger, and smiled, shoving the last piece of it into her mouth, and swallowing it nearly whole. Oh how wonderful the feeling of a full stomach, or a hungry mouth being fed was. She could see very well now why some humans dedicated most of their lives to eating. Nothing that she had experienced as a doll could compare to such a feeling. Then she knew exactly why perfection could not be reached as a simple doll that she had used to be. Truly the perfect woman, the perfect person would be no doll, magic or not. Alice was a human, and nothing else could possibly be good enough for perfection than a human body.

Hey everyone! Hope I didn't disappoint on the first chapter of The Ultimate Alice. ^_^

There will be many more chapters as well, and the first many chapters will start with the name Alice, or have that name somewhere in the chapter name. I am actually going to try to put the same general theme in each Chapter Name, IE. Alive Is A Woman, Alice Is Perfect, Alice Is Alone, and so on, but I am not sure if I can keep that up as long as I would like ^_^;;

Anyway The next chapter is Alice Is A Woman which will be about Suiseiseki discovering the more intimate sides of her new, human body.

Yours,

Tankou001
