Author's Notes: Yup, so here's another chapter. I didn't feel like writing anymore so it's really short. The only proofreading I did was when I was transferring it from paper to the computer. Yeah, so I hope you like this one.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Alice in Wonderland.

Deep blue eyes fluttered open as Seto regained consciousness, groaning slightly as a dull thud pulsated in the back of his head. Although his vision was blurred, he still recognized the bright fluorescent lights and tiled ceiling as that of Domino High. Seto sat up; placing a hand to his forehead, trying to understand what was going on. The last thing he remembered was standing in the hallway being absorbed by darkness. I'm still in the school... so maybe I just fainted? But even as he said it, he knew it couldn't be true. Seto had fainted from exhaustion more than once in the past and not once had he been swallowed by darkness.

He checked his watch, realized how late it was and pushed himself off the floor. He began walking down the hallway when he tripped over his bag and fell to the floor with a dull thud. A series of expletives passed through his lips as he once more pushed himself off the floor, grabbing his bag in the process.

He was striding down the deserted hallway when a horrible laugh rented the air. Seto froze, eyes wide with fear. It was that horrible laugh he had heard before being sucking into the pit of darkness: the Joker's laugh. He spun around, heart racing. Nothing. Slightly relieved, thought still very much on edge, he turned around and there he was, or rather she. Seto screamed for the second time that day, nearly tripping over his feet as the backed away in shock.

The Joker floated in the middle of the hallway feet from where Seto stood. This was nothing like the cartoon Joker in Batman. She wore a mask and was dressed entirely in black and blue spandex, broken at the waist by a white ruffle. Her legs were lined with blue and black diamonds, a white ruffle around either ankle. Her top half was split down the middle, one side blue, the other black, sleeves extended to the middle finger on either hand. The left hand held four playing cards, the right held a scythe.

"Hello Kaiba," her voice was mocking, and strangely familiar, though Seto found he was unable to place the voice.

"H-How do you know my name?" Seto stuttered. Who was this girl?

The Joker laughed, putting the hand with the cards to her face. "Don't you know?" She taunted, giggling fiercely. Seto growled, he did not like being toyed with.

"Listen, whoever the fuck you think you are -" He began but was cut off by the Joker.

"Well that's not very nice, she said, taking on a hurt tone, "you really hurt my feelings. AND NOBODY HURTS MY FEELINGS!"

Seto gasped as a sharp pain streaked across his cheek. He placed a finger lightly against his cheek, eyes narrowing as he felt something warm seep over the digit. Blood. What just happened? The Joker was in hysterics. Only three cards were left in her hand, the missing card was stuck in the wall behind Seto.

"How did she..." he murmured, fingertips still pressed lightly on his cheek. No one the CEO knew could throw anything that fast. He hadn't even seen her move! And more troubling still was the damage the card had caused. She thrown an ordinary playing card and the cut on his cheek was more than just a paper cut.

"Well, I hope you learned your lesson Kaiba," The Joker recovered from her hysterics and was standing perfectly erect, card bearing hand at her waist, "Next time I'll aim for your neck."

Seto's hand shot to his neck, without even realizing he was doing it, causing the comically dressed psychotic female to giggle.

"I wouldn't suggest you get angry with anyone else here. I may be hard to believe, but I'm not the craziest one you're going to meet," she said, playing with the cards in her hand.

Seto's eyes widened, hardly daring to think how crazier people than her would be. Then the rest of what she said sunk in: I wouldn't suggest you get angry with anyone else here. What does that mean?

"It means you're a long way from home, Dorothy." The Joker laughed.

Seto froze. She can read minds? Fantastic. This day just keeps getting better and better. The Joker giggled. Seto frowned and decided not to allow her any more amusement at his expense. Seto would not be the fool anymore. This was all just a figment of his imagination. If he ignored it, it would go away. He started to leave.

"I assure you I am no figment of your imagination and no matter how much you ignore me I'll still be here," the Joker said, "This is Wonderland. Nothing just goes away."

Seto stopped dead in his tracks, turning his head to face her. "Wonderland?"

"So you've finally decided to join the party?"

Seto stared at her a while longer, then chuckled softly, inclining his head slightly to the right. "Do you honestly expect me to believe that? I'm not some idiot you can fool."

The Joker sighed. "I thought you'd be smarter than that. If you finally come to your senses, come find me."

With that, she raised her scythe high above her head and slashed downwards, creating a tear in the air. She gave one last fleeting glance at the brunette before stepping through. Seto watch as the Joker stepped through the tear. As the tear closed, he muttered something about needing more sleep and turned, walking down the hallway again.

End Notes: So that's that. Incredibly short, I know. But I didn't feel like writing any more. I have no idea when I'll get the next chapter up. Probably no time soon though.
