Mikan in Wonderland
"Well the best way to travel in wonderland when you are that small is by hat, the sword will aid you in the final battle, now hold on tight" the Hatter said, so Mikan and Natsume held on grasping each others hands as Hatter flung the hat like a Frisbee and then the cards arrested him along with the Mouse.
The hat flew right across the majority of wonderland, and Mikan and Natsume were clinging on for their lives even their hands that were clasped together were turning white from the strength that they were holding onto each other as well as the hat. Eventually Mikan looked forward and noticed that the hat was heading straight for a tree
"NATSUME!" Mikan shrieked causing Natsume to look as well and soon he was scared and yelled
"HOLD ON TIGHT Mikan" she didn't have to be told twice and she clung on for dear life as did Natsume as the rim of the hat hit the bark of the tree and fell straight to the floor. After a while Mikan and Natsume made their way off the hat, quite shaky at first but they soon got their bearings back and looked up to the sky and noticed that it was dark meaning they could only see the hat and they didn't know anything about their surroundings.
Although Mikan had long sleeves she was beginning to get cold and so to keep herself warm she crossed her arms and started rubbing them up and down to keep herself warmer, Natsume noticed this and he too was starting to get cold, so he walked over to the hat and lifted it up, Mikan watched him do this then questioned him
"What are you doing?" he looked at her and answered
"We need to sleep, this is the safest and warmest place around us so you coming in or are you going to stay out hear all night?" without hesitation Mikan ran over to the hat and climbed under as soon as she was under Natsume followed and dropped the side of the hat down letting the moonlight flood in though the hole in the top of the hat that lit their way.
Mikan walked over to and edge and curled up in a ball, knees up to her chest, arms wrapped round her legs her head lolling over on one shoulder. Natsume knew she would be cold like that and so walked over to her and sat close, so close that there was barely a gap between them, but to be honest I don't think neither minded as it was so cold they needed the warmth from each other. Vey slowly they both drifted off to sleep, Natsume with his arm around Mikan, and Mikan with her head on his shoulder.
Sniff, Sniff, Sniff, Sniff
Mikan was woken by something that was sniffing around the hat and then thought back to yesterday with the dog. Her eye's widened as she shook Natsume quite violently to wake him up while whispering
"Natsume, Natsume, Wake up! We have a small problem hear!"
"Mmm five more minutes" Mikan had to suppress a giggle at that comment as Natsume turned over on his side facing Mikan, his face looking so peaceful in his sleep, his messy raven hair fell across his face and swept to the side and his lips were slightly parted while he was breathing lightly. Seeing him like that so adorable and peaceful she was tempted to give him a small kiss but decided against it and instead leaned in close to his ear with a small smirk gracing her facial features and whispered
"Natsume, Sumari is looking for you, you have to get up quickly" at this Mikan pulled away and Natsume's eyes flung open as he scrambled to get himself up off the floor while Mikan held in a giggle. Natsume looked around like a rabbit in head lights, and then he focused on the sniggering girl behind him and groaned in frustration as he asked
"Why did you wake me up, so dang early?" he soon got his answer when Mikan jumped up from her spot as he had Sniff, Sniff, Sniff around the hat and over where Mikan was. Mikan ran towards Natsume and stood half behind and half in full view of what was outside the hat. Before the two knew it the hat had been lifted and they were open to the elements and there in front of them was the beagle from yesterday.
The nose of the beagle came right up to Natsume and Mikan and took a huge sniff at them before retreating his nose and saying "Are you Mikan Sakura Yukihara and Natsume Hyuuga?" Mikan looked at Natsume as he looked back before they both turned to the dog and Mikan replied
"Yes we are" the beagle panted in relief as he said
"Thank heavens, I need your help" Mikan stepped out from behind Natsume and stepped forward and asked
"What do you need our help for?" the beagle looked down at them and had a sad look in his eye, while Mikan started to stroke his nose and the beagle answered
"They have my family, my wife and pups, trapped in the cells under the castle" Mikan was slightly confused as was Natsume as he stepped forward and walked over to Mikan while asking
"Who's they?"
"They are the red queen and her solders, see I am an ally of the white queen and a slave of the red queen while my family are prisoners of the red queen" Mikan was curious to know if these queens had a name
"Tell me what is your name young beagle?" the beagle gave Mikan a small nudge
"You know your breeds of dog well young mistress, my name is Yuu, and my wife is called Anna" he said while Mikan asked another question
"And tell me Yuu how long have you been a slave and your family been prisoner of the red queen?"
"Since she took over wonderland about thirty years ago"
"Sorry to hear that Yuu, but one more question well two if you answer this one; do the two queens have names?" Yuu looked down at her and replied
"Yes" then Mikan asked her last question
"Can you tell me their name's please Yuu?" she said while stroking his nose as he replied
"The white queen is known as Nobora and the red queen is known as Shizune" now the two knew the names Natsume decided to ask a few questions of his own
"Sorry Yuu this probably sounds like an interrogation session but I have a few questions of my own I would like to ask"
"Fire away Natsume"
"Are the two queens related?"
"Yes, they are"
"Can you tell me what happened for the two to be fighting; I presume they are fighting each other?"
"You would be correct…" said Yuu before continuing his story "…the white queen is the eldest of the two and therefore has right over the throne, but the red queen didn't like her older sister." for Natsume and Mikan that wasn't enough information
"Why dose the red queen not like the white queen?" asked Natsume as Mikan continued to stroke Yuu's nose while he replied
"The red queen has always been jealous of the white queen as the white queen has always been more beautiful than the red, kinder too and as the white queen was the eldest it was only right that she have the crown, but the red queen thought otherwise and so when their parents died the red queen started to over power the white queen and because the white queen hasn't a nasty bone in her body she didn't retaliate back and so wonderland is under the power of the red queen now until our champion comes to save us" Mikan and Natsume hadn't heard of this champion before and still continuing his round of questions Natsume asked
"Who is your champion?" Yuu looked down at the two, at Mikan specifically, and said
"Mikan is our champion" the two humans were shocked beyond belief as Mikan showed it by saying
"M-Me?" Yuu nodded
"Yes you, that is why the red queen sent out the search party, to hunt you down and cut off your head" Mikan stopped stroking Yuu's nose and gulped while rubbing her throat, while Natsume stood as still as a statue as Yuu continued "She wanted Natsume to become what the nave had become, her side kick, in a way"
"Well good luck to her with that" replied Natsume as he stood protectively in front of Mikan, when Mikan remembered something
"The sword" Natsume looked at Mikan as did Yuu and they both said
"What?" Mikan looked at the two and continued
"Hater said that I…we needed to go to the red queens palace and take a sword because it will help me in the final battle, but what I am confused about is, what and when is the final battle?" now she had come to mention it Natsume was thinking the same thing while Yuu spoke
"It is part of a prophesy, which goes like so…" Mikan and Natsume found the hat and sat on it while Yuu started explaining the prophesy "…the red queen has a creature, a big dragon like thing with green eye's that turn red when he is angry, black and gold shiny scales, webbed wings, huge claws and the voice of a man who has smoked an awful amount of tobacco anyway, it has been foretold that you Mikan Sakura Yukihara, will rid wonderland of this creature and everywhere will return to the way it once was a bright, cheerful, colourful place with lots of party's and dancing and riddles and singing, but the only thing that can destroy this dragon thing is that sword that hatter was talking about, for it was made by a well respected swords man who lined it with crystal shards, that is the only thing that can kill this dragon for crystal shards penetrate right through a dragons tough heart" (A/N: Not sure about that but can't be bothered to look it up)
Mikan looked at Natsume as he did her before they both looked back to Yuu
"Yuu, do you think you could take us to the red queen's castle?" asked Mikan as she jumped off the hat and walked over to Yuu with Natsume behind as Yuu replied
"What do I get out of it?"
"We will set your wife and pups free and as soon as you drop us off outside her castle you must go and tell the white queen okay" Yuu nodded
"Okay then climb on my back" Mikan gave Yuu a kiss on his nose then went round the side along with Natsume. Now at their height it is rather difficult getting onto an animal bigger than you when you should be bigger than the animal, so Natsume went in front of Mikan and cupped his hands as Mikan lifted one of her bare feet and stepped into his cupped hands while holding onto a bit of Yuu's collar and on three she jumped up and hoisted her self up into Yuu's back as Yuu stood up. Mikan got herself in position then gave a helping hand to Natsume who jumped and grabbed her hand and climbed his way up behind Mikan. Once he was up he got himself positioned with his legs either side of Yuu and his arms around Mikan's waist for support while Mikan had her legs in a side saddle position and was holding onto Yuu's collar
"Okay Yuu, lets go" said Mikan. And with that Yuu grabbed the hatters hat then turned in the direction of the red queen's castle and set off, Mikan's hair blowing back into Natsume as he moved his head to the side so he could see where they were heading. And so their journey continued.
Finally, sorry this is so late but I had collage work due in and other things on top of that but hear is chapter eleven XD
