Inuyasha crossover Heart no Kuni no Alice
Chapter 2: Broken Heart Syndrome
Someone was calling out to her name rather frantically as Kagome tried to answer him or her through the painful haze that she was in as she tried to speak but a pained cry tore through her as Kagome started breathing heavily, trying to breath in air into her lungs. There was more shouting and people calling out to her name, but they are fading somehow as Kagome sank into the darkness, overwhelmed by the excruciating pain she felt in her heart as she became unconscious.
Nightmare looked up from his work as he felt the sudden cut off from Kagome's consciousness and the pain that he felt coming from it just momentarily.
"She passed out again," Nightmare commented wearily as he grimace at the workload that is not lightening.
"Please concentrate on your work Lord Nightmare," Gray told the Lord and person in charge of the Clover Tower in the country of Clover as he came in with a stack of paper work that needed the incubus's attention.
"She's having another moment," Nightmare told his subordinate, one of the role holders of their world as he looked absently forward at the door and wall in front of him as he stopped work for a moment.
"Yes, please finish your work, we're behind all of them had it not been for you taking such long breaks," Gray told the other as he arranges some of the paperwork that is on Nightmare's table.
"You're as mean as ever to me Gray," Nightmare commented with a sigh as he look tired and deflated over the amount of work that he has to do.
"Please finish these paperwork soon Lord Nightmare," Gray urges him again as he placed more work on his table.
"I'll have to visit her again in another dream when she goes into natural sleep," Nightmare declared as he reluctantly started work again, expecting to hear a complaint coming from his subordinate, but nothing.
She had been out for a few turns, and it was already worrying enough for the members of the Hatter Mansion. One moment she was talking to members over tea, answering a question that was posed to her by Elliot, and an old memory resurfaced as she started struggling to answer. Her head started to pound at first and then her heart it felt as thought it was being squeezed rather too tightly like it is a stress ball. She put nothing but pains as it overwhelmed her.
"She's waking!" Elliot March declared happily as he looked excitedly at her as she lay on the bed unmoving in the guest room of the Hatter Mansion, but it was just his own assumption when he saw her moved slightly in her unconsciousness.
Blood Dupre was by her side, sitting in one of the chairs as he read a book whilst watching over her after he had cleared off some work. The young foreigner that had come into their world this time is quite unlike Alice, but in many ways she is and abhors unnecessary killing, or killing on the whole in fact.
Kagome groaned as she stirred, not waking just yet as her body rested on with a frown upon her brow. Blood noticed that but did not say anything about it as he gave out an order to Elliot to bring him his tea. When he was sure that the March Hare was gone, he stood to change his sitting position onto the bedside of Kagome as he looked at her for a moment before reaching out with his hands to sooth the hair that was getting all over of her face as he soothed her frown with his thumb gently.
Again she groaned out as though in pain before settling down to become quiet once again. "You seem to have recapture my interest again young lady," Blood commented with an amused looked as he left her side to return to the chair that he had abandoned earlier just as when Elliot came back in again.
Peter White the white rabbit and Prime Minister of the Country of Hearts, and to the Queen of Hearts, was worrying as he tried to search for Kagome without much results. The only place so far that he had not gone in search of her was at the Hatter Mansion. He could only imagine the worse of it, but his work had been pilling up and it is really difficult for him to leave at the moment had it not been for the killing spree that he had went on with the faceless in the Queen's employment, not that Vivaldi did not contribute to the increase number of casualties as well.
She has a case of the broken heart syndrome, if one were to say that it was impossible to die from a broken heart, they might have to retract that, especially if they are in a similar case and situation to Kagome. However there is a down side to this world, and that is that no one here know of it since their hearts are that of clocks whilst Kagome and Alice both are the two special one so far.
"…W-here," Kagome managed to croak out as she turned her head weakly to look at the room.
The chair by her bedside is empty, but the motif and design of the room gave her a strong clue as to where she is at the moment. Kagome coughed as she made a face of pain at the painful dryness she felt in her throat, and ache from the lack of exercise of her body.
"You're awake," Elliot proclaimed when he peeked his head into her room to check on her. "I'll go tell Blood!" and with that, he bounded off leaving her room door with a click to let her know that he had disappeared.
Turning her head too quickly or even with moderate speed to see who it was that had spoken to her earlier was perhaps one of the worse mistake, something that she is now regretting with how badly her world seem to be spinning. Her eyes were shut tightly to cause frown lines upon her forehead when Blood entered with Elliot by his side as Kagome seemed to be having another bout of pain.
"Are you still in pain?" Blood's voice drifted in as he regarded Kagome with a nonchalant and cold look that told her nothing much, reminding her similarly to that of Sesshoumaru's.
Her throat was too dry for her to answer him, but when Kagome had forced herself to sit up, she ended up collapsing onto the bed, as she opened her eyes, wanting to glare at the other in her current state, but it was pathetic, even to herself.
"Tea," he declared, "Have them bring up some sweets along with it as well," Blood gave the order to Elliot who replied with a quick 'Yes' and went out in search for a faceless servants to have the requests from Blood be prepared and sent up immediately.
"Such a strong-willed person you are, somewhat unlike that of Alice, but then again there is much of you that is currently rather…entertaining," Blood said as he took the empty seat as he settled himself comfortably, crossing his legs elegantly as he propped his chin up with the back of a hand, observing Kagome with a cold and amused look.
"H-hypocrite," Kagome managed out with a grimace as she somehow got herself into a sitting up position in bed, as her eyes closed to let her head adjust as she silently pray that it will just stop the spinning.
There are many things that she had not tested yet, her theories that is, but this World the energy here is different, and she still could not remember much of how she had managed to get her. And after her travels in Sengoku Jidai, being transported to a place like this, should really not come to her as a surprise, but it still made her panic at the though of being stuck here again like she first did. Her family are really great when it comes to understanding, but she worries for them still, and wandered if there is a way for her to get a message or find a way out to let them know that she is fine and will find her way back soon.
"How amusing," he chuckled almost darkly just as Elliot entered back into the room with two of the faceless servants in tow, pushing a cart full of goodies and tea.
"I'll be leaving Blood, see you later Kagome!" the March Hare said as he enthusiastically smiled and waved them goodbye before exiting the room that she is in as the sound and smell of freshly brewed and poured coffee waived through the air of her room.
"Now then, shall we have some tea," Blood asked, but is already taking his cup of tea into hand as he breathed in the aroma.
Tea, that seems to be the only thing that he ever cared about, but after what had happened to her when she first arrived, Kagome had become more cautious of the things that she consume, fearing for the worse that might happen if that is the case.
"Our World continue to exist thanks to you," Nightmare said with a smile as he floated in the realm of the dream, watching Kagome who is still unconscious and asleep whilst there are other orbs around him reflecting the other members of the Hatter family.
A/N:
Hello Readers
I'm glad to see that some of you enjoyed this story, though I'm rather uncertain myself if I would be able to do a good job of it, so this might end rather abruptly in the end as well. When that time does comes, I will most probably have left a message about it in my A/N, so sorry on that. And also, another apology for my language, grammar and vocabulary and repetition. I hope that you guys enjoy this new update, take care now!
