Authors Notes: Hey :) here's the next chapter, i hope you guys like it ;) and thank you Aoi Liddle for making a review for my story :)
so...ONWARD~! :)
I shut my frightened eyes and screamed an undechipherable word.
I was dead, I felt it in my gut.
Jumping in front of the person I partly dread was just a resort to not see any blood, I wouldn't be pleased if I did see some especially if it was Natsume's. That was the most reasonable explaination, there was no way I would save Natsume on my own free will, weird. Since I didn't hear Natsume yell or perhaps cheered because of my death or anything so I cautiously opened them too see what was going on and as I saw the bullet on the floor, my chest swelled in with relief.
I looked back too see if Natsume was alright, well he was obviously. I saw him holding up a ball of fire on his hand. 'I guess he stopped the bullet too save us…"
"I love your determination of protecting your companion but-"
"Hey! I wasn't trying to protect polka`dot I wanted to protect myself from getting killed by that stupid bullet of yours…" Natsume interrupted angrily, the fire ball twisting in his palm.
"Hey!Your so mean Natsume!" 'How could he think of protecting himself and not me?.. :P'
"I don't mean to interrupt or anything but I have too dispose of your companion now Mikan-chan, because the Queen is waiting for our return to the castle and-"
"Peter, if you dispose Natsume…. Then… You have too dispose of me too!" 'why am I doing this… I could get in trouble…'
"….fine, I will tell Blood Dupre that he would be having a guest."
"Thank you Peter, I really appreciate it-"
"But my dear Mikan will be staying at the Queen of Hearts castle, so you and your companion will be separated alright? " he asked so innocently, it was impossible to turn him down so quickly.
"I accept… as long as I am away from polka-dot then I'm fine.." Natsume said while crossing his arms and looking at another direction.
"He wasn't asking you IDIOT!... Stop calling me POLKA-DOT!" I stepped towards the bunny eared man
"I agree too Peter . I would also like too stay away from this freak!" I curiously side glanced at Natsume, emphasizing the 'Freak' a little bit too well. But I ignored that 'look' of his and turned back to Peter.
"Hey Peter, can we go now I don't want too stay here any longer." I started walking towards the direction where the castle had perched up above other buildings, Peter following up happily.
"Hey Mikan-chan, wait for me!" he transformed back into a rabbit and hopped right up onto my left shoulder and we started talking while going to the Queen's castle.
Meanwhile, Natsume had went the other direction. Half in her heart, she wanted him to object to her decision but this was 'Natsume', he wouldn't do anything of the sort. He wouldn't care, I know it.
Natsume's POV
"Damn that girl! She's so annoying and stupid, I cant stand her!" I irritably scratched the back of my head, why did she have to be in separate locations? Didn't she know that we had too find a way to get back to the Academy?
'She's so stupid' The most convenient way would have been to climb back up from the hole but I saw it being sealed up right after it spat us out, so that's a definite 'no'…..Wait a minute…. I remember.
Years ago, I saw my sister playing this 'Alice in Wonderland' parodic game with the same map as the entire area here. I didn't see it that way before! Apparently, it took me some time to adjust my eyesight after I woke up with polka-dots face directly infront of mine. She pushed me, that's all I remember.
Anyways, I noticed a Ferris Wheel and the designs of the Heart castle, they were exactly the same as Aoi's shoujo game. My head's a bit fuzzy though since polka-dots pulled me down that wretched hole.
Natsume sighed, inhaling for a moment 'all I need to do is find Blood's mansion to get a good night's sleep and clear up my memory….Just maybe I could remember the ending of this 'game' and we could get the hell out of here' mentioning his new resolve, he spotted Blood's mansion with two young twins guarding the gate, I began to head towards them.
But all of a sudden, they started pointing their swords at my direction and charged head-on at me. I prepared to fire at their swords with my Alice to stop them but there was a guy whom had rabbit ears on his head that stopped them from stabbing straight my heart. In my opinion though, those kids were lucky he stopped them from being burnt into crispt. I eyed his floppy animeal ears and grumbled
'Man…. Is this the brother of this Peter White guy or something?...' they all looked familiar but what the heck? I cant remember properly.
"Stop it both of you, this guy is a guest here so please treat him properly." The twins lowered their weapons, frowning but five minutes later they began to grin eagerly from ear to ear.
"Onee-san!" they ponced on him with welcoming hugs.
"What the hell? Get of me, you idiots!"
"Awww…. Don't be so mean onee-san!" the boy on the left said, while the boy on the right said
"Yea were just trying to be nice to you " they both said looking at him innocently, Natsume turning his head from one twint to the other with strange look on his eye. The boys saw this and figured out the reason.
"sorry Onee-san, we didn't introduce ourselves. My name is tweedle dum and he's tweedle dee "
"Now be good boys too him okay?"
"Who said we would listen too you Elliot?" (tweedle dum said)
"Yea your so loud and annoying that we cant hear Onee-san!.." (tweedle dee said)
"Why yopu little brats! I'm gonna kill you both with just one shot!" both the twins let go of me and started in a position like they were going to go into a battle or something which ofcourse they were.
While I just went to a nearby tree to sit down (not like I care what happens to those 2) and watch them fight but… I felt this temptatious presence behind me. I looked back too see who or what it was and I saw…
"Ah I see, Our guest has already arrived. Let me introduce myslef. I am Blood Dupre."
"Blood?" both tweedle dum, tweedle dee and Elliot shouted but not too loud that every part of Wonderland couldn't heard them.
"Shit!... Blood's here. Im gonna get in so much trouble.." Elliot muttered, Natsume hearing part of what he said.
"I was gone for 10 minutes and you guys created such a riot? I pity our guest that will be staying with us."
"Hey Blood, don't be so mean."(tweedle dee) begged
"Yea it wasn't our fault…. It was Elliots!"(tweedle dum) pointed his flimsy hand at the adult.
"but Blood-" Elliot pointed at the twins but their boss interuppted him.
"Maybe I should execute all of you for making a riot infront of our guest." I was shocked at what I had heard so I unwillingly spoke up.
"But their just kids!"
"with weapons, Onee-san " both the twins smiled while saying that.
"Don't forget the Hare!" Elliot mentioned with a pleading face.
"You mean bunny rabbit? :P" both the twins corrected (or in case,wronged) hysterically laughing at Elliot.
"HARE! .!" Elliot shouted, wagging his hands over his head.
"We shall discuss this later, right now we have to take care of our guest who is probably getting bored right about now. So if you please step inside….Umm… Whats your name?"
"Natsume….Natsume Hyugga."
"Ah I see what a interesting name you have. Ummm tweedle dum,tweedle dee. Would you care too show Natsume-kun his room?" Blood requested.
"okay ;)" before I could mutter a 'no' they both grabbed my arms and pulled me inside the gate while the Hare stood with Blood.
"Come on Onee-san! This is gonna be a fun day for us " Both of them said (again at the same time) as they were dragging me off to the inside of the mansion.
"Hey Blood" Elliot double-checked if the twins and Hyugga were out of earshot and waited patiently until the Hatter's full attention was on him before he continued on
"why is HE our guest? I thought we'd get Mikan to stay with us at the very least, not some meager boy-"
"Elliot! I give the commands here, don't I?" Blood faked a pleasant look which was pretty obvious at some point, scaring Elliot.
"ye-..yeah…" even though it was unsaid, he couldve sworn Blood was saying to him 'I know what I'm doing.' It doesn't matter though if he did or didn't, he trusts the Hat maker too much to disagree with him.
