I held a candle and you see my grin

Who else has committed such a sin?


A Trailer


In a room filled with darkness, the sounds of a child whimpering could be heard, though whether the child was a boy or a girl could not be heard. Suddenly it is revealed the there is a glass between the young browned haired bearded man staring into the hospital room, where the sounds of a child whimpering is coming from.

"Will she be alright?" The young man asked, a concerned look written over his features easily. The young nurse next to him, a brunette was frowning softly to herself, looking concerned.

"We wish that we could say that Doctor, but her mind seems to have become ... broken for the lack of a better term." The young nurse admitted to the doctor, his spectacles hiding his eyes from the nurse.

"I see. Then it is unfortunate to see her in such a state." The man admitted softly, though a glint could be seen in his eyes as he watched the young girl muttering under her breath, words that could not be heard. "Please, if it needs to happen, do send my regards to the people of Rutledge Asylum. I don't want to see poor little Alice treated too unfairly during her time there."

"Of course Doctor Bumby, I'll let them know." The nurse told the man, before she started to walk off, so she could tell her bosses of the recommendation of the now respected doctor, who had rose up from the ashes of his old mentor.

"Oh poor little Alice, why must you be living on your own," Bumby mused, before he licked his lips in a way that it was barely noticeable. "You must be scared, lonely, homesick to be without your family, mustn't you? I do regret seeing you like this Alice." Bumby continued to himself, before he started walking away. "I do regret failing in actually killing you off too, but still, there is potential. You could always be what your sister refused to be," Bumby allowed a smile to grace his features, one that spoke of perversity and dark thoughts that shouldn't be thought off when thinking of a little girl at the age of merely seven.

"Mine."


Tick, tick, tick, tick, the sounds of the clock ticking was followed by the slight twitch of a young blond haired boy, the young boy kept on looking over his shoulder, wondering just where he had found himself standing. It wasn't anywhere near a forest, there was too many large, tall standing buildings around here for that, bigger than any that he had ever seen before that was for damn sure and it definitely wasn't anywhere near Konoha either, was there even anything to do with chakra here?

"Kukukuku ... kukukuku ..." The dark ramblings of a demonic sounding voice made the young boy spin away in fright, wondering just what he had just heard, some of the adults simply ignore him, believing that he was playing a game that nobody knew about. While some of the other adults looked at the young both and each other with worried expression, wondering just what the boy was doing. Suddenly the young boy ran away from the crowd into an alleyway, for the adults had been confusing him with their looks, he didn't knew what they were looking at him like that for.

"Well, well, isn't this almost sad." The boy froze, the whisker marks on his cheeks now visible, as an extremely skinny grey cat, almost to the point that it was just skin and bones, came into view, smiling widely to the point of looking manic, ignoring its current physical state. It had a large head and paws, a long neck, sharp claws, big pointed ears and a long tail with a tuft of hair on the end. It had a gold hoop earring in its right ear and its skin was covered with black marking similar to tribal tattoos. The cat also appeared to have under-grown yellow incisors that are covered in covered in blood. Its eyes were also yellow and seemed to be glowing in the alleyway.

"..." The young boy simply stared at the cat in shock, his jaw dropping as far as it could go.

"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" The cat's smile seemed to grin even more, if it was possible. The boy blinked.

"N-no ... just a little ... surprised, that's all." The boy admitted softly. "I haven't seen a ... Cat summon before." The boy told the talking card, who seemed to be amused by the statement.

"Oh really now, yes, you'll do just fine indeed." The cat's smile seemed to grow even more. "You'll be perfect to help Alice on her little quest."

"What?"

With that, the blond haired boy known as Naruto Uzumaki knew no more.


Alice Liddell was a young unfortunate girl, she had been in the Littlewood hospital for at least a year now, but the nightmares that had been plaguing her mind, or what was barely left of it, make her scream like a madwoman, and even sometimes attack some of the doctors and/or nurses that got too close or scared the easily scared young girl into attacking them.

"So she will be going to Rutledge after all then?" One of the male doctors asked his colleague, who sighed to himself.

"Indeed, this is most unfortunate for the girl. We knew how some of the patients are treated there." The first doctor sighed, running a hand through his black hair.

"But it is for the best, we can't keep the girl here forever, nor can we force the other patients to go through with listening to the young girl screaming pleas of mercy, to spare her family." The second doctor admitted, his blond hair shining in the light. The young girl in question was currently staring up at the ceiling, her green eyes unmoving, not shifting her body for even a twitch or an itch. "But still, it's amazing how still Alice can be, it's almost like she's a puppet that's got no-one pulling the strings."

"I know what you mean, it terrifies me at time with how still and lifeless she looks."

"Indeed."


"I'm not insane! I'm not insane! I'm just not!" Naruto screamed as he tried to loosen the grip that the men had on him, only for it to be in vain.

"There is no such thing as chakra, jutsu or the Elemental Nations you stupid child!" One of the doctors hissed as they proceeded to drag him down the corridor of the asylum known as Rutledge Asylum, nobody seemed to believe him, when he had asked the nearest group of people about the Elemental Nations, chakra and jutsu they had called up some doctors and they had literally forced him here, declaring that the young boy was insane.

"It's just like that girl, Alice."

"Her parents just died over a year ago! She has a reason for losing her sanity you heartless bastard!"

"This boy doesn't, he's just out of his mind."

"Or he has an incredible imagination."

"I doubt it's worth anything."

"Just hurry up! He's going to be staying in the same room as Alice after all." Naruto could hear the doctors talking as if he wasn't there, and he hated every moment of it.

"Enjoy your stay little boy! It'll be an extremely long one!" Naruto suddenly found himself being thrown into a room, which was quickly locked from the outside, much to the young boy's horror.

"You won't be getting out of here, not until they believe that you're sane." A young girl's voice rang through the room, making Naruto turn to find a girl with brown hair and green eyes staring him down with caution, the toy bunny seemed to be the only thing she owned. In fact it seemed that she was only talking because she had her toy rabbit.

"I don't even know where I am ..." Naruto uttered.

"They call this place Rutledge Asylum, according to the person who brought me here at least." The girl announced, her voice turning cold and bitter. "They don't like letting people out of here."

"Then why ARE you here?" Naruto asked.

"My parents died in the fire as I watched the building burn to the ground." She answered automatically.

"Oh ... sorry," Naruto flinched, not expecting such a blunt response.

"I don't care anymore."

"But I do!" Naruto declared. "What's your name anyway?"

"..." She stared at the boy with caution. "Alice."

"Well Alice, my name is Naruto! Pleased to meet ya," Naruto declared, holding his hand out, causing the girl to stare at it cautiously. She knew that it was a sign of politeness, so to see that this boy before knew at least some civilized manner made her feel a little relaxed.

"Naruto ... what kind of name is that?" Alice's eyes narrowed in though, while Naruto glared slightly.

"What kind of name is Alice?" Naruto shot back quickly.

"A normal one," Alice replied instantly, much to Naruto's surprise. The argument between the two would end up lasting all night long, something that was not even noticed by the doctors of Rutledge Asylum.


Mother ... Father ... Lizzie ... no! Don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die ... no ... no ... no!

Do shut up ... we have no need for this.

Give up your soul! Let me take control!

Where is the weapon?

Come on Alice! We're very late indeed!

All you've got to do is take off the seal, take it off and free me once and for all.

I don't want to see anyone die.

I won't let you die!

Alice, please ... just don't ... die

Who are you?

I'm you ... don't you see?

Naruto ... what kind of name is that?

What kind of name is Alice?

I hate everything about you.

Murder is such a cruel word. I was thinking more of allowing someone to finally be released from this cruel world.

Madness is how we can still connect ... if it means I'll never get to see you again than I'd ... I'd...!

Words do not express how much I need you right now Alice.

Naruto ... the world seems like a darker place without your smile to light it up for me.

You made my Alice cry, you should just die!

Emptiness is simply a quote that has no meaning anymore, not like it used to, many years ago anyway.

Wow Alice, if everyone is as ugly as this bitch, then I wish I could take you back to my home ... not that I could pull that off anyway.

A work of art ... I don't know about engineers going to the moon, but you're pretty fucked in the head.

Rebellion ... the mere idea makes me feel excited inside.

At least you got to know your parents. I never knew mine to begin with.

Naruto Uzumaki and Alice Liddell, both are insane ... but who is more insane than the other?

I'm taking control thank you. You're far too weak to do anything else after all.

Let's see if this will get her to talk.

Are you fucking insane! That'll kill her, let her go!

Your toys have become your weapons, and a lot of your friends have become your enemies, what's next? You're going to meet and be friends with a rapist?


One has lost her family to a deadly fire

Another is just lost altogether

She's lost her sanity because of guilt

He's got too good of an imagination

They meet in an Asylum

Corruption and Tyrants stand in their way

Freedom can only be gained at a cost

What would they be really to risk?

How many more will die?

Will the demon have the last laugh?

There is always a method the madness

We just haven't found it yet

Naruto Uzumaki and Alice Liddell together for the first time

A Fox in Wonderland

For insanity always starts from somewhere


Glowing red eyes shined in the darkness, the sight of two teenagers nearing their 20s fighting for their lives was simply amusing to the creature.

"Soon, I will take what I want, and in the process, shatter the mind of a silly, little girl." The gigantic eyes suddenly showed a giant grew opening up, showing all of its teeth within. "Freedom shall soon be mine, and everything else within it, well that's just a bonus.


Trailer of A Fox in Wonderland is here.

Now I know what you are thinking, when am I going to start writing chapters for this fic?

Well the answer to that is that I don't know. No seriously, I don't know. Hell, the only reason I even did this was because it was bugging me. I'm not even sure when I'll ever update again.

I'm not sure what I'll be doing during this time, so who knows when this will be updated.

However, I do know that this fic will be spread throughout the two games, even a third one if it gets done like they said they would.

Insanity does have to start from somewhere after all.

No that I need to worry about it, my mind is already producing these little moments anyway.

Just review for more details, I'm too tired to do it now, yea.

Until next time, goodbye and goodnight.
