It took three hours for their 'friend' to show up. Zero had considered on just going home with some lame excuse but had stayed starting to worry about the blind and mute twins. A pair of purple eyes watched the teacher sit there on the couch with curiousity. "Hey, Zero-san, are you alright?" asked Dum while she attempted to find some extra plates. The blind girl really seemed to know her way around the kitchen with only small bits of help from her mute brother. Blue eyes watched her just in case.

"I'm fine," the teacher spoke feeling more uncomfortable under Dee's stare. A knock came from their door making all three jump before Dee rushed to it and greeted their visitors. Zero ran a hand through his short black hair before glancing at their new guests. What he saw made the nineteen year old freeze.

There standing before him was a man with long white glistening hair and sharp silver eyes. Although the man looked nothing like her, Zero could swear he sat before the Queen of Hearts. It was like his past life had come to haunt him for what he gave up on. Why? Dee watched the teacher that seemed to go in shock at seeing his friend. "Oh, Heart," Dum spoke timidly. "This is Zero-san." Blue eyes never left from grey.

Memories filled with blood and hate filled the teacher's mind. How could this be? It was like they were all coming back to life. Is this what the madhatter meant?

Heart chuckled darkly before another guest entered. This was a girl about fifteen with blue hair and hazel eyes. Recognition hit them both the minute their eyes met. Zero stood up quickly almost shouting," You're that girl!" "Killer Blade," introduced the girl now more timidly as she attempted to hide behind Heart. "Huh?" questioned Zero stopping himself from tackling her for almost killing him earlier. If it wasn't for her and that pink haired girl, he wouldn't have to deal with those heroes or, he shivered, Cheshire and Madhatter.

"My name is Killer blade, well that's what people call me anyway," squeaked the timid blue haired girl from behind the twenty year old man. Grey eyes were filled with amusement as the raven haired teen sat back down asking in confusion," What the hell is going on?"

Heart kneeled before the teacher without a single ounce of fear. He knew. The boy in front of him seemed different but he knew that was the same faceless that lived within their kingdom. "Zero," the white haired man spoke earning a tense from the other. "When did I..," Zero began to be cut off by the other In front of him. "Dark Alice," corrected Heart with a smirk. That was when blue eyes seemed to break. He knew. They both knew.

"Queen?" was all the boy could say as blue eyes seemed to get lost in silver. "Yes but now I suppose I'm more of a king don't you agree," mused the King of Hearts with a smile. Zero shivered in both fear and happiness. They were alive. All of the nobles from the wonderland they once lived in.

"You remember correct?" questioned the king already knowing the answer. His servant nodded his head still trying to calm himself to speak. "Of course, you never forgot did you?"

Another nod. The king was happy. He valued his raven haired servant now the same as then. "Then you remember what you were supposed to do," it wasn't a question. Blue blinked and Zero frowned. He knew. He always knew but was never able to accomplish it. "I'm sorry," the servant spoke as his head fell into his hands in despair. Grey eyes never left him. "Dee, go get some drinks," the king ordered and when the mute left did he order the others to leave. "Zero," the man whispered more gentler now. "You have nothing to be sorry for."

Teary blue eyes looked at the king of the lost kingdom. "You were and still our my strongest weapon, Zero, and I know you can still rip her to pieces," the king spoke calmly as he gently grabbed the raven's face with both hands. His silver eyes gleamed dangerous now in the light of the abandoned building. "I know what happened." Blue eyes cracked. "And I do not forgive, Zero." Red flashed through the dark blue like a virus. "No matter how many seals they place on you, I will make sure you don't break."

Zero gasped as the king of heart's claimed his lips under the now moonlighted gaze from the broken windows.
