Mikan in Wonderland

101 Dalmation x

"You know you have me all wrong…" he looked at her confused as she sat up straighter and smoothed out the bottom of her dress that was splayed out around her and dusting it off as she continued "…This has been arranged since I was five years old, but I don't want to have my life planned out like Misaki, I want to marry because I love that person not because my marriage was arranged and I have to do this, that and the other, I want to lead my own life" she said looking Natsume dead in the eye as he did her but once again she went back into thinking mode. "But I don't know who my feelings are for, or weather or not that is the life I want, Its just like Alcatel said who am I?" now Natsume understood why she doubted her self and why Alcatel's question had been bugging her all this time, after their little conversation they were once again enveloped into a comfortable silence with Natsume's arm around Mikan and Mikan leaning on his shoulder, both nearly falling asleep until they heard a noise.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, did gyre and gimble in the wabe. All mimsy were the borogoves, and the momeraths outgrabe'

"Hey Natsume did you hear that?" questioned Mikan as she was looking around

"Yer I did, but the last I knew it was just us?" he replied as his hand moved from her shoulder as Mikan stood up and he followed her lead and were both looking for who made the noise when they heard it again

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, did gyre and gimble in the wabe. All mimsy were the borogoves, and the momeraths outgrabe'

"There it is again" commented Mikan as she made her way over to the noise, while Natsume almost didn't notice that she had started moving off again and quickly caught up with her. Soon the voice was around them but there was no one there until Mikan saw two green glowing eyes in the tree, and they scared her quite a bit so much so she called for Natsume but not once taking her eyes of the two glowing ones which looked like cats eyes.

"N-Natsume!" she said in a state of panic as Natsume made his way over to her swiftly to comfort her

"What's wrong?" Mikan just stood there pointing to the tree and Natsume followed her finger to where she was pointing and he also noticed the two glowing eyes but he also noticed a mouth which was singing

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, did gyre and gimble in the wabe. All mimsy were the borogoves, and the momeraths outgrabe'

Eventually some whiskers appeared along with cat ears and a cat face, a tail and the body finally Mikan and Natsume could clearly see it was a cat, this shocked Mikan and Natsume as a cat had slowly appeared in front of them and he was now speaking

"Ahh I see I have guests, please do not fear me" purred the cat making Mikan jump back a little into Natsume and hit her bad arm against his chest causing her to wince from the pain, the cat took notice of this "Oh dear it seems as though one of my guests is injured hear let me take a look" the cat jumped down from the branch and was now hovering in front of Mikan.

Mikan froze as Natsume stayed close to her just encase anything were to happen. The cat undid the rag that was tied around her injured arm and inspected it, he then floated off, grabbed a leaf and floated back to Mikan where he placed the leaf over the wound and wrapped it up again in the bandage, once he had almost finished wrapping up Mikan's arm he started a conversation

"So as you are my guests I would like to know your names" said the cat as he wrapped up Mikan's arm as she watched and replied

"Well this is Natsume Hyuuga and I am Mikan Sakura Yukihara" the cat had finished by now then looked up with a glimmer of hope evident in his eye as he replied

"The Mikan Sakura Yukihara?" he questioned just like Alcatel had making Mikan feeling depressed again as she replied with

"Well there has been some debate about that" she replied as she looked down, while Natsume placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and the cat answered her with

"Oh don't feel so glum, the answer is simple" he said Mikan looked up at him confused as she asked

"What do you mean? What was the question to the answer?" she asked but the cat sniggered and said

"Oh my dear child there was no question but the answer to you statement is a simple one…" Mikan looked at him with curiosity as did Natsume as the cat continued "…don't get involved in politics" Mikan and Natsume stood there befuddled while the cat laughed his tail off before he realised something "Oh my, I know your names but alas you do not know mine" he purred as he hovered around Mikan and the end of his tail catching her neck making her flinch and giggle at the touch when he went round Natsume causing him to do the same flinch slightly and snigger as the cat moved back on front of them and grandly stated his name "Cheshire is my name and being a cat…" he said as he flipped onto a lower branch and finished off his sentence "…is my game, now I take it you are lost correct?"

"Yes" stated Natsume as Mikan was too amazed to speak and so Natsume continued "We need to get back to our world s we are attendants at a party and have been gone a long time" Cheshire giggled and replied with

"My dear boy in your world time has stopped, while you are hear time will stay frozen so what ever they were doing at the time you fell down the rabbit hole they will still be like that now" well that assured Natsume and Mikan a bit then Mikan found her voice again

"Umm Cheshire could you tell us or show us the way out please if it is no hassle obviously" Cheshire looked at her and the started floating around Mikan again before resting himself around her neck as he said

"I can show you the way but I must worn you of one thing" Mikan quizzed the cat curiously and asked

"What must you warn us of Cheshire?"she asked as Cheshire thought about it.

"Hmmm…ah yes…we will be stopping off at the mad hatter's tea party" Mikan looked at Natsume who looked back at her until they both turned to Cheshire who was settling nicely around Mikan's neck when both Mikan and Natsume said

"But we don't go among mad people" this made Cheshire raise his head and Grin a huge Cheshire Cat grin before saying

"Oh you can't help that, for you see, mostly everyone is mad hear, I mean I'm mad you two are mad…" but before he could continue Mikan cut him off

"Actually I believe that I am not mad and that…" but she was cut off by Cheshire

"Then why are you here in Wonderland if you are not mad?" Mikan didn't want to explain the story again and neither did Natsume so in the end Mikan decided to end the conversation

"Oh never mind that, lets just go to this Mad Hatter's Tea Party and see if he can help us find our way home" and with that she walked off with Natsume behind her all the way while Cheshire stayed wrapped around her neck.
