Disclaimers: Amano Akira owns characters and some of the plot is from Lewis Carroll but with a twist. Also the plot has some parts from the manga Are you Alice by Ai Ninomiya.
The Royal Tea Party,
Hurry now; your tea might go cold
Along with the bake and powdery sweets,
Why a party?
Such a silly question!
Have you forgotten?
We all had been waiting for you...
Wonderland… Was waiting for you
Chapter 3: The Royal Tea Party
Giotto was already out of breath when he reached the door. Taking a few seconds to calm down, he opens the door to meet an angry looking scarlet haired teen and a redhead with unique eyes.
"Damn it Gio, at least be kidnapped or in the hospital if you're going to skip school." The scarlet haired teen glared making Giotto sweat drop.
"That's not true. G dragged me here because he was worried." The red head said. Only to receive a painful yet friendly punch making him yelp in pain.
Giotto felt his mouth tug into a smile seeing his best friends argue. It was as if nothing happened, as if this Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't exist… but what was this nagging feeling? His head started to throb and images started to form in his head.
"Gio?" Giotto looks up to see both of his friends looking at him concerned. Though his headache was now pounding against his skull, Giotto manages a small smile.
"Are you okay?" The one with unique eyes asked.
"I'm fine Cozart." Giotto protested only to receive a glare from G.
"You're pale." G pointed out making Giotto laugh nervously.
"I guess I'm not feeling well." Giotto admitted looking a bit sheepish that he was easy to figure out inviting his them in.
Cozart and G exchange glances knowing that their childhood friend was lying. Oddly it occurred to them that the Sawada household was eerily quiet. Knowing Nana, she was usually out getting grocery and Iemistu was (always) at work… but wasn't there someone else living here?
Red… It was strange for Tsuna to see himself completely dressed in red, his least liked color. It reminds him too much of blood… the beatings he received from his tormentors. Now here he was standing in a room painted in different shades of red wearing a suit that was also in different shades of red.
Tsuna tug on the dark red tie, slightly irritated at the itching fabric. He was about to take off the tie, until the messenger shook his head in disapproval.
"His Majesty would get angry if you're not formally dressed." The messenger scolded lightly as if it was a joke. "Come along, he's waiting for in the garden." The masked man gestured Tsuna to the door in hurry making Tsuna fasten his pace.
Unnoticed by the two, a man stepped out of the shadows of one of the corners. His fedora lowered casting a shadow over his eyes.
"It seems another one has arrived, chaos."
~XXXxxxXXX~
Tsuna eyes widen in amazement at the beauty of the garden. All types of flowers bloomed beautifully against the green bushes. The blood red roses caught Tsuna's attention the most. He could faintly remember something about the roses… something about a story.
"Tsunayoshi-kun we arrived." The messenger stopped in front of a clearing bringing Tsuna back from his thoughts.
There in the clearing was a large red table with filled with different kinds of food of course it was place in expensive looking ruby red plates. Tsuna noted that most of the foods were sweets.
"Ah it's finally an honor to meet you Tsuna-chan." The man with snow white hair smiled warmly at Tsuna. Tsuna noted his smile was fake and was filled with no warmth… not a single emotion appeared in his smile.
"Your Majesty," The messenger bowed in respect. "Sorry for the delay, there was quite a disturbance in town."
"Ah I see…" The man trailed off placing yet another pink colored marshmallow in his mouth slowly chewing absorbing the taste. His face darkens as he chewed, but then brightens up. "Ma enough with that, why don't you take a seat Tsuna-chan."
Tsuna move past the green haired man, Kikiyo, taking the only seat available across from the smiling man. Tsuna felt a bit uncomfortable siting across a man who had this gigantic smile that was empty... emotionless.
"Ah how silly of me I have forgotten to introduce myself!" He exclaimed in a childlike tone. "I'm Byakuran, the ruler of the Hearts Kingdom."
"I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi." Tsuna replied not knowing the danger he had put himself into. Behind him, the messenger smirked dangerously.
'The Black Queen has been moved.'
Since majority voted that only KHR characters should appear in the story, I will stick to only use KHR characters…though it would be a challenge to keep their character, so please tell me if the character is to occ
Also I might be late to update another chapter so who do think would be
Mad Hatter
White Rabbit
The Duchess
Cheshire the Cat
The White Queen
Lady in Waiting
The Caterpillar (the list would go on and I might make up some of them -.-' so I'll just leave it as this)
Until then, unknownwriter09.
