Chapter 2: Descent into Madness Part 1

Naruto groaned as he landed on his stomach. "I really need to work on my landing." He muttered as he got up to see nothing but darkness. "Oh great."

He summoned his Keyblade and the tip lit up showing the inside of a mine.

"Well which way to go? Forward or backwards?" A voice rang out.

"Who's there?!" Naruto called out feeling like he should know that voice.

"It's been seven years has it not? Only by walking will you know the answer you seek!"

"Seven years?" Naruto thought for a bit but he couldn't recall what he was supposed to remember so with a shrug he walked to where he figured the beginning to the mine was.

As he walked he heard a voice. "Why have you pursued me to this desolate place?" An aged voice asked.

"To benefit from your wisdom!" A female voice answered back and Naruto narrowed his eyes because he felt like he knew that voice as well but he couldn't place it.

The aged voice chuckled. "Even blurred vision is valued by the blind. If I were clever would I cower in this slag heap?" The voice asked as Naruto peeked around the corner. "I'm not wise girl… I've just grown old."

What Naruto saw was an old gnome looking thing that was so skinny that you could see the bones but talking to the gnome was a teenage girl that looked two years older than Naruto in a blue and white dress with brown hair and green eyes.

The girl didn't give up, "I wish to get very small. No bigger than a mouse. Do you know how I might do that?"

The gnome smiled. "Only that? Oh yes, I could that… for a price!"

"I have nothing of value!" The girl said.

"What about your friend in the orange jumpsuit over there?" Naruto froze when he realized that the gnome saw him.

"Friend?" The girl looked over to see Naruto but she saw the Keyblade so she took out her knife and threw it at him thinking that he was going to attack.

"Whoa!" Naruto deflected the knife but she ran forward grabbing the knife and came in to stab him but Naruto rolled to the side before doing the ram seal. "Kage Bushin No Jutsu!" In a puff of smoke four of him appeared.

The girl looked surprised but she killed one of the clones with skill before Naruto came in using the flat side of the Keyblade to knock the knife out of her hand and grabbed it before jumping back.

She went to tackle him but Naruto held up his hands. "Time out! What are we fighting for?" He asked cautiously.

The girl looked surprised. "You weren't going to attack me?"

"No! I'm just trying to figure out where I am at the moment!" Naruto told her as he looked around.

"You're in Wonderland!" The girl answered with a nod. "And I'm Alice Liddell."

Naruto dropped his Keyblade in shock as he stepped back.

Alice looked confused at his behavior. "What is it?" She asked.

"O-O-Oneesan?!"

Alice frowned before she remembered that only one person called her that seven years ago. "Naruto?" She asked in shock before she frowned. "What are you doing back here?"

Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I don't really know myself Oneesan."

"Don't call me that!" Alice hissed before she turned her back on him. "I haven't seen you for seven years and all of a sudden you're back?" She looked back at the gnome now ignoring Naruto. "Now what else were you going to say?"

"You have nerve your health. Mine are nearly gone. I've seen too much suffering… And I smoke too much you see." The gnome said.

"What must I do?" Alice said her anger subsiding but Naruto knew that she was still angry at him.

The gnome chuckled. "In the Card Guards compound a particulary rough Diamond holds the key. Retrieve it and I'll repay the favor."

Alice nodded but before she walked off a mangy looking grey cat appeared. "Hello Naruto! Alice!"

Naruto's eyes widened. "Cheshire?! That was you guiding me here?"

"Yes because you and Alice are needed!" The Cat chuckled. "But will you work together or kill each other remains to be seen!"

"Why is he back here?" Alice asked refusing to say Naruto's name. "He disappeared for seven years!"

"I tried to come back." Naruto said but Alice cut him off.

"Oh I'm sure you have!" She said sarcastically.

'Wow! Someone gained an attitude after seven years.' Naruto thought as he remembered how she was when he first met her.

~Flashback- Seven Years Ago~

Five year old Naruto ran towards the training grounds as people were shouting insults at him as he ran by calling him a demon.

As he ran he felt tears going down his cheeks as he made it into the woods crying. He was just minding his own business when he saw that someone dropped something so he picked it up and gave it back to that person but as soon as they saw that it was him the person screamed and the villagers chased him.

"Why do they hate me?" Naruto cried as he leaned against a tree. "What did I do wrong?"

As he cried he heard footsteps so he grew scared and hid only to see a rabbit run by in red coat. "I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!"

Naruto stopped crying at the absurdity of this scene because he knew for a fact that this wasn't normal. But he was curious so he followed the rabbit to see it go into a small Rabbit Hole so he bent down to look in only to misjudge how far he was leaning as he fell into the Rabbit Hole.

Screaming Naruto fell down pretty far only to slow down and he landed on his butt in a weird room where he saw the rabbit running through so he followed it and opened the door to see another door.

"Huh?" Naruto opened it to see yet another door. "Okay this is annoying!" The process kept repeating until he finally made it through. "How the heck is that possible?" He muttered before he walked through to see that everything was smaller than him even the door.

Blinking in shock Naruto walked around before he saw a thing of tea that wasn't there before and he felt thirsty so he drank it and in a few seconds he shrank down.

"… Is this a Genjutsu?" Naruto muttered remembering rumors that Ninja's could use them.

Shaking his head he walked through the door looking for the rabbit when he rounded the corner and bumped into someone. "Oof!"

He was on his back in a daze when a voice broke through his thoughts. "Are you okay?"

Shaking his head he opened his eyes to see a seven year old girl with brown hair but Naruto backed away expecting to be yelled at.

The girl giggled at his reaction. "It's all right I don't bite."

Naruto still eyed the girl warily remembering how every time that he thought that he made a friend he was always chased away by that person's family.

The girl tutted. "I'm Alice!" She held out a hand.

After a bit Naruto took the hand. "N-Naruto." He said nervously.

~End Flashback~

Naruto sighed as he thought of that memory but Alice looked at him. "What has you smiling?" She asked sharply.

"Just remembering when we first met!" Naruto admitted with a laugh. "But… Are you sure this is Wonderland? I remember it being… Not like this."

"Well when you're gone for seven years." Alice huffed.

Naruto's eye twitched. "You are never going to let me forget that are you?"

Alice walked off so Naruto looked at Cheshire with a questioning look but he just grinned and disappeared so he sighed and followed Alice.

"Let's get one thing right Naruto!" Alice said calmly but she was still angry. "Once we find out what is wrong with Wonderland we will go our separate ways got it?"

Naruto nodded and now they were in a lighted part of the mine and Alice stared at him. "What?"

"Since when did you have Fox ears and a tail?" Alice asked curiously sounding like her old self for a second.

"… Since a few minutes before I came here again… The tail I'm still getting used to." Naruto muttered before they came to a stop in front of a mine cart. "What do we do here?"

"We go up." Alice said and she jumped on it so when Naruto followed it started to go up. "So what was that weapon you use?"

"Something called a Keyblade." Naruto muttered. "It's weird but thanks to it I'm able to go to other worlds which is how I'm here again."

Then the mine cart turned from an elevator to a roller coaster as they drove through. "OH KAMI!" Naruto shouted as he held on to the sides of the cart.

But Alice jumped off while Naruto stared at her in confusion before the cart went off the edge heading towards a pool of acid.

"…" Naruto did the Ram Seal. "Kage Bushin No Jutsu!" He made clones above him and jumped off their heads before making it back to the top panting in fear as he landed near the edge while Alice looked at him.

"You're duplicating ability is unique." She admitted.

"Yeah Shadow Clones are cool." Naruto told her before they fell into the acid and he received their memories. "OH KAMI NOW I KNOW HOW IT IS TO BE BURNT ALIVE!"

Then Alice threw her knife killing a Card Guard leaving Naruto looking at her in shock. 'She really has changed.'

The Alice that he knew would never do something like that… Then again the Alice that he knew would never attack someone with a knife.

Alice noticed Naruto looking at her. "What?"

Naruto held up his hands defensively. "Nothing!"

Then Cheshire appeared again. "52 pickup is a staple of juvenile humor. But when the deck slices and dices, it's no laughing matter." Then he disappeared.

Naruto blinked in confusion. "What the heck was he talking about?"

"You forgot that he talks in riddles?" Alice asked before walking off.

Naruto sighed as he rubbed the back of his head. "This is going to be a long day." He muttered.
