A/N: Hey there! I've been thinking about this story for a very long time and i finally decided to lay it down. I've always loved Alice in Wonderland. Have any of you played the game American McGee's Alice before? That game is a riot! If you haven't, check it out. It's a spoof off the sequel to Alice in Wonderland. Anyway, this is a SasuNaru story (BEST COUPLE IN THE WORLD!) so if you don't like that, then don't read this or leave any nasty reviews. Anywho, I'd like to send a shout out to all of my loyal fans who follow some of my other SasuNaru stories. I love all of you, and if you're new to my stories, then I thank you for giving me a chance. I hope you guys like it, please review!

This Wonderland
"Naruto."
"Naruto…"
"Naruto, wake up."
'Hunnn?..." Bright blue eyes opened slowly to the figure before him. A young man with brown hair pulled into a spiky ponytail and a scar over his nose smiled sweetly, looking down at the previously sleeping boy of 16.
"Naruto, get up. You fell asleep during your lesson. You know you should pay more attention. I don't want you falling behind all the other kids." Naruto looked warily with one eye at the man, the sun making it hard to see since it began to set before him.
"Iruka, you know I hate to study. And besides, why do I have to try so hard, I'm going to be starting public school in a couple of days. I don't need extra teaching."
The blonde boy had been home schooled for several years now but would be starting high school at the end of the weekend. Naruto was ecstatic at the thought of meeting kids his own age, while Iruka, Naruto's guardian, was dreading the day his beloved little Naruto would finally be leaving. Granted it was only during the day, but the man was used to having the loud mouthed blonde around all day.
Naruto stood up from his position under the huge oak tree that monopolized the large yard. Sun streamed down through the branches, adding random highlights to Naruto's already sunny hair and the large white house that stood behind the ancient tree.
"It's almost time for dinner. You better go wash up." With that, Iruka turned to the house, leaving Naruto under the oak. The blonde watched the retreating form of his guardian disappear into the white building.
"I hope we have ramen again. I can never get en….." The blonde stopped when something quite curious caught his eye.
A rather tall man with silver hair was walking across the yard. Naruto had never seen this man before, but what really struck him was that the man had a pair of bunny ears and an oddly large pocket watch. The handsome man, for Naruto could tell that he was around Iruka's age and was pretty good looking, also had a mask covering his mouth and a headband covering one of his eyes. This was obviously an EXTTREMELY disturbed man, one who should be avoided.
'Is he cosplaying? No, there aren't any other buildings around for miles. What is he doing in our yard?"
"Yo," Naruto called to the crazy, rabbit eared man, "Hey you! What are you doing?"
The male in question turned lazily to the loud noise maker.
"Ya, you! Why are you in our yard? Are you lost? And most importantly, why are you in that crazy get-up?" Naruto walked closer to the possibly insane man.
"I'm late." Simple word finally rolled out of the man's mouth. Listlessly, the man reached for the massive watch with was fashioned to his hip and looked at the clock's hands emotionlessly. "Two hours, twenty minutes, and twelve seconds late to be precise."
Naruto just stared at the man. Who was ever two and a half hours late to something? And further more, the man didn't seem to be in that much of a hurry either.
"Umm, mister…"
"Kakashi. Kakashi Hatake."
"Ya, Kakashi, umm, what are you late for? And why are you wearing bunny ears?"
'Maybe he's late for a party where everyone is supposed to dress up. Ya, that's it.'
Kakashi blinked.
"Wearing?" The man looked up at the ear that were flopping in front of his face, "What? These?" Kakashi reached a hand out and tugged on the white ear, "There're not fake if that's what you mean." Naruto didn't know what to say, "And I'm late for her majesty's party. No doubt she'll punish me for being late again. Well, I better get going." Without giving Naruto a second thought, the taller man kept walking and disappeared behind the grand oak.
'What the fuck…?'
Curiosity got the better of the blonde so he decided to follow the man known as Kakashi. Running around the base of the tree, Naruto found no sign of the bunny-eared man.
'Where'd he go? I could'a sworn…'
Empty fields greeted the boys gazed as he failed to spot Kakashi. Turning back to the tree, Naruto spotted a not so subtle gapping hole in the ground at the base of the oak.
"Where did that come from? That's never been there." Inching closer, it became evident to the blonde that a person could easily fit down the hole.
"He wouldn't….would he? …Well, couldn't hurt to check it out."
Naruto kneeled down and peered into the menacing abyss. A slight twinkling farther down the tunnel begged for naïve boy to enter. Cautiously, Naruto crawled in, pondering why there would be a tunnel underneath a tree, especially one in his yard. A cool breeze wisped at the boy's back. Looking back, the blonde was instantly swallowed by darkness, as the entrance disappeared.
"The exit,wha….waaaaaaa..!" The floor gave way, sending Naruto plummeting into darkness. Strange visions of tea pots and playing cards filled the last of the boy's sight before he completely blacked out.
--------
Cool grass caressed Naruto's skin as he began to stir.
'Stupid, crazy dreams. God, I need to remind Iruka not to let me fall asleep under the tree again.'
A constant low rumbling filled Naruto's ears. The vibrations made the blonde shiver.
'What is that? It sounds like...' "Purring?" Flashing his eyes open, blue met with ebony.
The blonde didn't move but rather let himself get lost in the darkness before him. Only then did it occur to Naruto that he was staring into the darkest pair of eyes he had ever seen, which happened to be only inches above his. The owner of the eyes pulled his head back, allowing Naruto to sit up. Immediately missing the deep obsidian pools, the blonde turned to get a better look at their owner. Facing the other person full on, Naruto studied the figure before him. The first word that came to mind was, 'Beautiful…'
The black eyes were placed perfectly behind a mop of blackish blue hair. Creamy porcelain skin contrasted nicely with the overall darkness of the rest of the being. Naruto's eyes traced the person, who he now noticed as being a boy around his own age, until he ended at the top of said boy's head. The silkiest black cat ears sat atop the boy's head, twitching slightly in annoyance. Also, a long black tail swayed cunningly behind the brunet.
'I am TOTALLY hallucinating! This boy has…cat ears and...a tail?'
"Well, know that you've officially creeped me out with your blatant staring, may I ask what the hell you are doing in my forest?" The beautiful cat-boy sat smirking smugly at the clueless blonde.
