Chapter 2
Kai and Rei were up early, heading over to their college. They were in their 3rd year and were studying law. As they arrived at the college, they met up with their friend Ozuma, or, as they call him in the organization, 'Dormouse'.
"I heard from Hiro…So her name is Alice?" Ozuma asked as he sat on an outdoor bench along with Rei and Kai. "Apparently, and she's a pretty skilled killer. She took Ming-Ming's head as if it was nothing," Rei said as he pulled out some books.
"The cut was clean, and there was hardly any blood spilled from the body. Also she left a message with what blood she did get from the cut." Kai looked over his notes for the next class as he nodded. "Keep on your toes, Ozuma, for our theory is that she's going after the main rankings."
Ozuma looked over at Kai as he leaned back and said, "Then you'll have to be even more careful, you're one of the top rankings, Mad Hatter…" Kai sighed as he nodded while looking at Rei, "Rei, as March hare you have to watch out too." Rei nodded as he gathered his things together before standing up and started walking away, "I have class. You guy be careful. We don't know when she'll strike."
Rei disappeared and Ozuma and Kai started heading to their next class, psychology. As they got to their next class they sat in their regular seats only to get bothered by some of the girls in their class. The two men had no interest in the girls, so they were ignoring them the entire time.
Kai sighed as he tried his best to ignore them, but when he couldn't take it anymore, he glared at them, which made them back off and go back to their seats. As Kai was about to relax in his seat, something in the far left caught his eye; someone with long straight black hair that went down to their waist.
He turned more properly to look at the person and saw a small figure of a girl sitting in her seat with her arms on the table and her head in her hands staring out the window.
Slowly the person turned to face Kai, feeling him stare at her, and stared at Kai back with her big bright green eyes filled with curiosity. Kai felt a large sting in his heart and he grabbed his chest, leaning forward as the pain grew.
"Kai?! Kai, what's wrong?!" Kai could hear Ozuma shouting as he was grabbed by him. "Kai answer me!" was the last thing he heard before everything turned black.
Kai opened his eyes and saw a field of various kinds of flowers gently moving to a gentle breeze. Kai turned his head as he looked around, trying to figure where he was. He then looked down at himself and saw that he was wearing different clothes and he was wearing a hat now
He pulled his hat off and saw that it was a huge top hat, and he was also wearing all black. "Silly Hatter, if you just stand there, the madness will get you!" came 'Alice's' voice out of nowhere.
Kai put his hat back on and looked around frantically. Suddenly the field started getting dark and the flowers were turning grey. "What is happening?" he shouted as he watched.
"The madness will consume everything, even you, my mad hatter," 'Alice' said. Kai froze as he felt someone wrap their arms around his waist and lean their head on his back.
"Then you'll remember, my mad hatter. You will remember your loving Alice, and you will come back to me…" Kai quickly moved to turn around, but as he did, he accidently fel backwards. Kai looked up to see 'Alice' and felt like he was falling into a hole, everything getting darker.
Kai sat up quickly and looked around trying to figure where he was. "Kai, relax. You're in the infirmary." Came Ozuma's voice to Kai's right. Kai looked at Ozuma with blood shot eyes and sweat running down his forehead.
"Mr. Hiwatari, you should lay down. You're still not feeling well." Said a soft spoken voice. Kai turned to the voice and saw the girl, who he had been staring at before he blacked out, standing to his left in a white coat.
"Mr. Hiwatari, please, you collapsed due to exhaustion." She said as she placed a hand on his shoulder only to have him to slap it away.
The girl held her hand to her chest as she looked at Kai shocked while Ozuma shouted, "Kai! That wasn't nice! Kira is only trying to help!" Kai looked at the girl, Kira, seeing her looking at him with pain and confusion in her eyes.
"It's okay, Ozuma. He's just confused right now. Mr. Hiwatari, I'm a trainee medical staff, but you need to trust me. Lay down or you'll get worse." She said before she turned around and went to a desk to fill out some paper work.
Kai watched the girl, wondering what made him faint, and why is it that he felt like he forgot something important, not realizing he had dreamt while he was knocked out. "Kai, I have to go. My next class is about to start and I can't miss another day." Ozuma said as he got up from his seat.
"Kira will take care of you; she's a decent girl, unlike our usual fan girls." Ozuma said while he head for the door, leaving Kai in Kira's care, while he headed to his next class. Kai lay back down on the bed but kept watch of the young women working. Kira could feel eyes on her and turned to Kai after she finished organizing the medical cabinet.
"Mr. Hiwatari, if you have something to say, please do so. If not, then please get some rest." She said as she walked up to him. Kai looked up at the Kira's eyes and suddenly felt the pain in his heart again, but this time, his head was hurting as well.
Kira looked at Kai in panic and tried to place her hand on his forehead, but it only led to him grabbing her hand and pulled her onto the bed. Kira cried out as she was suddenly pinned on the bed with Kai on top, covering her mouth with one of his hands, as he said, "Who are you…" Kira sobbed against Kai's hand as she tried to break free, but even with one hand holding both her wrist, Kai was much stronger than her.
Kai watched Kira struggle to get free with tears running down her face; feeling scared of what he'd do to her. He leaned down and whispered in her right ear, "Relax….I won't hurt you…" Kira sobbed as she was still afraid, but she did as best as she could to calm down. Her body stopped struggling.
Kira looked up at Kai's red eyes with her green eyes filled with innocence and fear as tears still fell from them. Kai groaned as he slowly pulled his hand away from her mouth, lightly brushing his fingers on her lips.
"Please…Mr. Hiwatari…you're not feeling well…" Kira said softly with a shaky voice. Kai closed his eyes as he heard her speak, wondering why it is that her voice sounded too erotic to him, and why it sounded so good to him.
"Your interesting Kira…." He said as he leaned down and placed his lips on her neck, lightly kissing up it. "Who are you….and why is that I feel so weak against you…" he questioned as he kept kissing her neck lightly.
"Please… Mr. Hiwatari…" Kira whimpered out. Suddenly, the door opened, and Rei walked in only to see Kai on top of Kira. He quickly ran over and pulled Kai off the crying Kira.
"Kai, get a hold of yourself!" Rei shouted as Kai tried to struggle. "Kira, get out of here!" Rei shouted as he held Kai back. Kira nodded and ran out the room, scared of what might happen if she stayed.
Kai calmed down after a while, and Rei released him, out of breath since it was pretty difficult to hold Kai back. "What came over you, Kai? You don't usually do that to girls. Heck, you're usually not interested in girls." Rei said as he finally caught his breath.
Kai paused and thought about what just happened and said, "I don't know… I felt weak against her, and I wanted to know why…then, when she got closer, I couldn't help but hold her down…"
Rei looked at the confused Kai and realized that Kai wasn't lying. Kai was more confused at what happen than Rei was.
Later that day, Kai was heading to the school parking lot when he saw her. He saw Kira smiling and laughing with another girl. He watched her carefully where he stood, not moving, not understanding what is happening to him. Kira stopped what she was doing and turned to where Kai stood, having felt his gaze on her.
Kira blushed lightly as she turned away and waved to her friend before walking towards Kai, which surprised him. As Kira stood in front of Kai, she looked at the floor and fidget with her fingers, trying her best not to run away from him.
"Ummm Mr. Hiwatari… are you okay now?" she asked in her soft melody voice, which made Kai close his eyes and feel chills running down his back. Suddenly, Kira felt a hand over her mouth and Kai being behind her, holding her against him.
"You know it's not safe around me…you make me feel like I'm going crazy…" he said as he leaned forward and placed kisses on her neck. Kira whimpered against Kai's hand, shaking lightly, while tears started forming on the side of her eyes.
Kai felt so weird, his head was banging so much, and it didn't help that she somehow smelled so good. He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards his car growling as he knew he needed to know why this was happening. "Kai…" Her voice came out scared and soft, making him stop and turned to her.
Kai lets go of her as soon as he saw her bright green eyes were filled with fear, causing his heart to hurt more. "Kai!" she cried out as she caught him from falling forward. Kai winced in pain, grabbing his chest, as he watched Kira panicking. His eyes turned hazy and he didn't know what he was saying, but all he remember seeing last was Rei running up to them and Kira's tears flowing down her face.
Kira looked down at Kai as tears fell from her eyes and Rei stood over them, worried. "Is he okay?" Rei asked as he kneeled beside them. "He's fine…he just suddenly grabbed me…and I think we were going to his car… and then… I just called out to him…" Kira said panicking, not knowing what to do.
Rei looked at the poor girl sympathetically and placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. "It's okay. I'll take care of him…" he said as he grabbed Kai's arm and threw it over his shoulder, carrying him over to Kai's car and put him in the back before looking back at the worried Kira that followed him to hand over Kai's book bag.
"Get home safely Kira…I'll take care of Kai." Rei said as he took the driver's seat after putting Kai's bag in the passenger seat. Kira nodded and walked off to what looked like her car while Rei drove off to Kai's place.
Kira turned to watch Rei drive Kai's car out of the parking lot, and closed her eyes as she remembered what Kai had said before he blacked out, knowing he wouldn't remember what he had said. "My dear Alice…I've missed you."
Her tears fell from her eyes as she didn't want those words to disappear; she's been waiting so long to hear them. "Hatter….I've missed you so much too." She said as her eyes suddenly changed to a dark purple and the girl she had been talking to before showed up out of nowhere.
"Alice, we have much to do." Said the girl as Kira turned to her. "Coming Ayame…" Kira said but paused before continuing, "I mean Dinah," as both girls just disappeared with the wind.
-At Kai's-
After the event after school, Rei had arrived at home and put Kai to bed, then left because Hiro had called him in. When Kai woke up, he tried his best to remember what had happened. When he couldn't remember why he did what he did, he decided to go to his studies and looked over some paperwork over Ming-Ming's financial things and noticed that she had been having trouble with making payments.
He wondered how she had gotten the money to pay the payments on things she couldn't afford after just one month and then made an assumption she had done something with the system to do so.. "What did you do Ming-Ming…" he trailed off. Suddenly, his phone rang, which made him jump a bit before he quickly answered it.
"Kai…there's been another murder…" Rei's voice came from the other side. Kai sat up and quickly asked, "who…" Rei sounded hesitant at first but his voice slowly came out with one word, "Duchess…"
Kai growled as he heard the news of an old friend getting killed. Hilary and Kai and a few others went way back, they all had joined young and had all trained together. Hilary was the little sister that nagged like an adult, but everyone knew she meant well.
Hilary was the Secretary of White Rabbit, Hiro, and with her gone, there was going to be some difficult times since she was in charged with missions, reports, and almost everything in the organization that involved reporting to the White Rabbit.
"It gets worse…" Rei's voice cut through Kai's thoughts. "They took some important documents Kai…They took private files of all the Main Rankings… She was attacked while at home and working on Ming-Ming's death report…" Kai slammed his hand against a wall near him and shouted in anger, "DAMN IT!"
"Kai calm down, I know this is bad… Look, just come down to Hilary's place… you might want to see what else 'Alice' left…" Rei said through the phone before hanging up. Kai headed straight for Hilary's place after the phone call and walked straight into her house, knowing that Rei had been waiting.
Rei closed the door to Hilary's small house and led Kai to her living room. The living room was pretty spacious with only a flat screen TV against the wall, a table in a little ways in front of the TV and next to the table was a couch, and what lay on the couch was Hilary's dead body.
Hilary's head was still attached so Kai wondered how she was dead if 'Alice' didn't touch her at all. In fact, Hilary was placed on her back and she had her arms over her chest, as if a burial or something. "She has no pulse," came Hiro's voice as he walked into the room behind Kai. Kai looked at Hiro, confused at why she was laid like that and why she had no pulse.
"When I came to get paperwork from her like I usually do… She was already like this… and the cause of her death…was this…" Hiro moved over to Hilary's dead body and moved it gentle and lightly so that Kai could see the back. There was a huge hole in the back of her, and it looked like something was pulled out. "Her heart Kai… Alice took out her heart quickly and swiftly…" Hiro said pained as he put Hilary back in place.
Hiro looked down at Hilary; sadden at the fact that he couldn't protect her. Here laid someone he had faith in as a secretary and as a friend. She was practically his little sister; as his secretary she had to deal with everything with him, the good and bad stuff. He always made sure to protect her whenever they were in the field taking on a mission that control gave them, and he always tried not to stress her with more work, but she was always insisting that she could do it, which she always proved she could.
She was young and had a bright future…but now it's all over…he couldn't protect her. "Rei said Alice left a message…"Kai said breaking Hiro's thoughts. Hiro nodded as he got up and walked out of the room and started heading for a bedroom. Kai followed, wondering if it could be another message to taunt the organization, or was it something more, while Rei stayed behind to gather more information of anything in the surrounding.
"Kai…She's someone we must stop." Hiro said as him and Kai walked into the bedroom that was covered with blood written words. Kai looked around the room and saw so many bloody written words that didn't make sense. There were so many mixed around.
"Kai…I'll leave you to try and figure out what this all means…I need to go do some reports on what just happened..." Hiro said as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, slightly tired from today. Kai nodded and waved his hand as he didn't turn around to Hiro and only concentrated on the writing, trying to piece together Alice's message.
Hiro left quietly, leaving Kai to his work. Kai concentrated and looked at all the words carefully, for over 4 hours, with no signs of giving up. Kai growled as he couldn't figure anything out throughout the whole mess of words. Kai shouted in anger again and slammed his fist on the table that was in the room, when he suddenly saw something.
"Put me on" were the words written on a pair of glasses on the table. Kai quickly grabbed them and put them on before looking back up at the wall and saw the message he'd been trying to find all along. "Mean old Duchess, always so full of yourself, but in truth, you were afraid, afraid of the darkness that was in your heart, so I decided that you need a 'little' help, don't be afraid for the darkness won't get to your heart now, for it's with me now" the message said causing Kai to throw the glasses off him in anger as he read the message.
"That sick Bitch!" He shouted as once again slammed his fists into the table in front of him causing a drawer to open. Kai looked over at the open drawer and saw a sealed letter sitting in the drawer, what got Kai to pick it up was the name on the letter, "Alice." He grabbed and quickly opened it to get to the letter fast.
"Dear Hatter,
I know you'll find this kind of odd, but I know you'll get to this letter before anybody. And I know you'll be the only one to find my hidden message. You're the only one that can understand my madness Hatter.
Can't you feel it?
The madness inside of you is growing. Don't be scared though, because when you finally allow the madness to consume you, you'll understand, you'll understand why I'm doing this.
You're the only one I care about Hatter… I miss you…hurry up and return to being MY Mad Hatter
Always yours,
Alice"
Kai looked at the letter and gripped the chair in front of him tightly, feeling confused and agitated. How did she know he would find those glasses to see her message, and how did she know he'd find the letter before anyone else.
He kept reading it over and over as if there was a hidden message, but he couldn't find any, which confused him even more. Did Alice really write a personal letter for him and only him? And what did she mean about him understanding if he let the madness consume him.
Whoever this girl was is more dangerous than he thought. She had mentioned the madness and he knew of the madness well. He growled in pain as he started feeling shots of pain in his right eye, causing him to put down the letter and place a hand on his closed eye lid, trying to ease the pain.
"Hatter….Hatter… just let it consume you." Came a low voice dripping with a teasing manner. "It wouldn't hurt to just let it consume you for a little bit." Kai looked up with right hand covering his right eye, and his left one looking straight at something. His vision was blurring and his body felt weak, but he could slightly see it, a smiling cat's face, or at least a painting of it on a mask.
There, in front of him, he saw a blurry vision of a girl in a blue dress and a white apron with long black hair, and a cat-like mask on her face. "Hatter, are you afraid as well?" Alice asked as she began walking towards him. "Don't be afraid, you were once consumed by it before, my dear Hatter." She circled him as he ended up on his knees frozen where he was.
"I will never allow the madness consume me ever again!" He shouted as he tried to concentrate into getting his vision back to normal. Alice's figure slowly disappearing while she said, "Then you won't be able to catch me, my wonderful Hatter, because the madness is the only way to see how I see things."
As he got control of his body, and his vision in his right eye came back, she had completely vanished like she was never there. Kai growled as he took the letter she wrote to him and stuffed it in his pocket before he went downstairs to where Hiro and Rei were at, looking for clues.
"The message… you see with this…" He said as he gave Hiro the glasses that were used to find the message left behind by Alice. Hiro nodded in thanks before heading upstairs, while Rei came up to Kai and looked at him worried.
"You look really pale, Kai. You should head home…you've done what you needed to do. We can handle the rest." Rei said as he placed a hand on Kai's shoulder.
Kai would usually disagree and shrug Rei's kindness off, but right now, he was right. Kai felt like his body was going to give out at any time, and his mind was elsewhere, which was bad for the investigation. He needed to be focus to catch this 'Alice'.
Kai nodded and head for the door, saying, "Call if you need anything. I'll come immediately." Rei nodded, and when Kai left, he went back to what he was doing, which was trying to find clues.
