A/N: hello everyone! And thank you for all of your wondrous reviews.

To: teufelchen29, MakenaiRaven, Seiryu, dagomir, ItsBananas, and to the unknown reader. Well I know you guys are probably guessing who's who in this story, (keep guessing! Hahaha(n_n)) and I don't know if I can introduce YumiXSachiko here, If ever there may be hints but that's all I can tell for now.

Oh, by the way if anyone is curious as to why I had Sachiko play the white rabbit. Well, I read in Wikipedia that the white rabbit was always nervous and twitchy and Sachiko is never nervous and twitchy (well on few occasions, but she doesn't show it). So I decided to put her in that role.(and I totally think she's cute in a rabbit costume).

Enjoy the story.


Chapter 3: Fraternal Twins? and The Caterpillar


Yumi froze, panic making its way to her heart. She was inside a dense forest with no idea which way to go and now a stranger is talking to her. Stealing herself with every fiber of courage she has inside her tiny body, she turned around.

Yumi blinked. And blinked again. Her face contorting to that of utter bewilderment her jaws hanging open. Standing before her are her petite souer Touko Matsudaira and Noriko Nijou, both wearing similar yellow dresses.

"Touko-chan? Noriko-chan what are you doing here?" Yumi asked still in shock

"We don't know who you're talking to, but I'm not 'Touko-chan'. My name is Tweedle dee." Touko said with a tone of arrogance

"Ano, and my name is Tweedle dum." Noriko said in a small nervous voice

'wait a minute, I read alice in wonderland before and if I remember correctly they were twins' Yumi thought. If she were in an anime a huge sweat bead would appear in her temple.

"Um, aren't you too supposed to be twins?" Yumi said voicing out her question

"Were fraternal twins! FRA-TER-NAL!" Touko bellowed, enunciating the word. "Why does everyone keep on asking us about it! Duh! Are all the people in here dumb? Can't they see we wear the same dress and have the same sounding name" she went on become more hysterical by the minute

Noriko on the other hand just stared at her 'fraternal' twin as if she's grown another head. Then looking at Yumi she said in a hushed whisper "sorry about my sister, she can get pretty scary when she's passionate about something"

"I heard that" Touko shouted a vine popping out of her forehead.

"I was just apologizing for your lack of manners. Drill girl" Noriko shot back

A few moments later

Yumi was now an audience to a rather heated debate between the Fraternal twins. Seeing the two, Yumi was reminded of her brother Yuuki. Yumi and Yuuki were often asked if they were twins, something the two of them vehemently denied. And then there was the bickering between who gets the nice toys, it was fun in the old days when you can play outside and not have to worry about being stuck in a forest in who knows where.

She was abruptly pulled out of her musing when she felt a tug on her dress. Looking up she saw Touko looking at her, her mouth in a rather cute pout.

"Who are you anyway?" she asked

"My name is Yumi, Fukuzawa Yumi"

"I see and where are you from?" Touko asked continuing her interrogation.

"from Japan"

"And where is that? I've never heard of that place before. I don't think it's in Wonderland either" Noriko butting in on the conversation. It looks like the argument before has been forgotten and the two has now set their eyes on a different object.

'These two are looking at me like I'm some kind of prey, it's scary' Yumi thought

" Hey Yumi want me to escort you around Wonderland?" Touko asked with a glint in her eyes

"No way I saw her first!" Noriko shouted at her sister "Yumi, you want me to escort you around right!" she said turning to Yumi

"Yeah right! We both saw her at the same time, idiot. But I claim her first besides you already have the caterpillar for yourself!" Touko argued back. At this statement Noriko quickly turned red on the face.

'Since when did I became a possession?' Yumi thought, a bead of sweat appearing on her temple. It looks like she was going to have a headache with all the bickering going around.

All the while Noriko stammered "Why you- you"

"What's the matter, caterpillar got your tongue?" Touko teased a smirk on her lips.

"You two should really stop fighting you know, it's very unlady like." A soft voice interrupted the twins on their fighting.

Turning around Yumi saw a girl step out of the shadows.

There was only one thing going on in Yumi's brain and that is Shimako looks so beautiful in a blue dress. Once again Yumi can't help but to stare. 'First there was Onee-sama, and then Touko-chan and Noriko-chan and now even Shimako-san is here? This is some kind of dream' Yumi thought

Once Shimako was close enough to them she looked at Yumi and curtsied. "Good day to you, I'm the blue caterpillar, please excuse the twins for their rude behavior" Shimako said in a soft voice

"Good day to you too, My name is Yumi FUkuzawa" Yumi said returning the gesture. 'Wow, even here Shimako really is the epitome of lady like manners' Yumi thought

"You two should really stop bickering, after all your sisters you should love one another." She chastised the two

"I'm sorry I won't do it again, I promised" Noriko said bowing her head low, Touko mimicking the gesture as well.

"Um, excuse me but I'm looking for someone." Yumi said to shimako "Have you seen her? She wears a red suit and has cute fluffy bunny ears" Yumi said describing Sachiko.

At hearing the words 'cute fluffy bunny ears', Touko and Noriko tried to hide their snickering. If the White rabbit ever heard that term describing her ears she would surely throw a tantrum.

"I think you're describing the white rabbit, I believe she would be attending the Tea party later on seeing as it is the Mad Hatter's un-birthday today." Shimako said

"Um, if you don't mind could you please point me to which direction it is?"

"Well, I will be going there as well, if you don't mind I would be glad to accompany you" Shimako offered

"Really? That would be great!" Yumi said excitedly

"Mou, and I was thinking of escorting her around wonderland" Touko pouted

"You can escort her some other time, I'm sure Yumi would love for you to accompany her, right Yumi-san?" she said turning to Yumi, to which Yumi nodded her head and gave Touko a warm smile. Curiously enough Touko blushed at this gesture.

"then I'll hold you to your word, Yumi-san" Touko said still blushing

"We'll see you at the tea party then" Shimako said turning to look at Noriko

"Yes, we'll see you then" Noriko said

"Alright then, Yumi-san are you ready?"

"Yes, let's go"

And so Yumi and Shimako started to walk. Once they were out of ear shot however the twins decided to resume their bickering.

"You totally have a crush on Yumi-san, Touko, next thing I know you'll be calling her 'Onee-sama'" Noriko teased glad to finally have the upper hand.

At this Touko blushed again. "Yeah right, like I can't see your face when we're with the caterpillar. You look like tomato every time she's around" Touko countered "besides I know you have secret rendezvous with her under the sakura tree"

"What?" Noriko exclaimed turning red in the face and the ear.

"Hahaha, I knew it!"

"Wait that means-"

"Yup I was lying on the second part, but looks like I was correct!"

"Mou, you-you!"

"But it's okay sis, I'm happy for you." Touko said hugging Noriko.

"hehe, I hope you find your happiness too" Noriko said returning the hug and her face softening


Omake 1:


Unknown to the twins Yumi and Shimako where currently hiding behind one of the large trees.

"Um, please don't mind those two, they're just playing" shimako said but even she can't control her face from turning red.

"Under the sakura trees eh? That's kind of romantic" Yumi said a cheeky grin on her face


Omake 2:


"Um Shimako-san, I just read your script and it says that you're the caterpillar does that mean you'll be smoking from a hooka?" Yumi asked

"No way, that's bad for your health besides I have an alternative." Shimako said, and with a dramatic pause and some latin chanting from the background for special effects, Shimako produced…

A flute.

Looking at Yumi with a calm smile on her face. Yumi can only stare, her left eye slightly twitching and her mouth agape comically. The cries of the cicada can be heard for special effects, a tumble weed seems to pass by as well.

Somewhere outside the Rose Mansion...

"Mou, but I want to be the Caterpillar!" Sei whined

"And pray tell, Why would you want to be the caterpillar?" Asked an annoyed Youko Mizuno

"Isn't it obvious?" Sei looked at Youko seriously

"..."

"Because..." Sei said in a hushed voice as if someone was eavesdropping "I wanna try the hooka"

a few moments later the sound of a thick law book making contact with a rather thick skull can be heard.


A/N: Hahaha that was long! Well anyway I've got some announcements first off I won't be able to update for the next 2 weeks since I have exams. Bummer!

Now Yes, I made Shimako the Caterpillar and No, she won't be smoking from a hooka as read in the omake.

Please Review! Thanks!
