Chapter 5 - Out of One Hole, Into Another

Kazuma was shaking as his toy got up on its own. 'Is it really happening, am I insane enough to see this?' he thought, 'No, that's not it! I am not crazy!' He continues chanting that as the bunny walks very slowly towards him, holding out its hand. "I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy." The bunny kept going without stopping. He closes his eyes and covers his ears. "I'mnotcrazyI'mnotcrazyI'mnotcrazyI'mnotcrazy" he chant in a faster pace. He kept on chanting for a few minutes and then cracks his left eye. The rabbit is gone. He then sighs in relief and loosen his hands. "I was just imagining things…" he told himself. "I knew it. It was just an illu-" Kazuma's voice fades as felt a small tug on his sleeves. He turns towards it and gasps loudly. It was his rabbit and somehow it managed to climb onto his bed!

'Please come back…' it speaks, 'Save… us…' As it talks, dark voids began to spread all over the room. Kazuma in panic got up out of bed to reach the other side. He barely had taken two steps when he saw the same void growing from there. Kazuma got back on the bed and the voids continues to spread. "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!" he cries but it was no use. It's so late at night that no one would bother checking up on anyone. Even if someone did hear him, he or she would probably call it an episode since he claims insanity and just ignore it. ('Which I'm not, thank you very much!' he thought.) He assumes the darkness is going to swallow him up, but it stops at the bed. The dark void now covers the entire room except at the bed. Kazuma looks down at it and to him it looks like a gigantic hole. "Great, I'm trapped in a crazy house, in this room and on this bed! Pretty soon I'm gonna get suck in." he said to himself gravely. "Seems like the proper way to die. Should I wait for the inevitable or jump to make it quicker?"

'Jump.' said the rabbit. Kazuma turn his head towards it, which is standing and tugging his sleeve. He had forgotten about his living toy. "You think I should do that?" he asked, "I don't even know where it'll take me. Wait a minute! Why am I talking to an object!?"

'Jump.' it repeated. Kazuma doesn't know whether he can trust it (or him), but something tells him to do as the rabbit said. He always trusted his guts even though it don't make since, even now. 'Well, long as this fall wound up killing me' he thought. With that, he stood on his bed and jump into the void. At first, he couldn't see a thing, and then gradually saw his surroundings. It was circular and the walls are clumpy and dusty, almost like a... 'Oh boy.' he thought as he realized what he just entered, 'Down into another rabbit hole...'

Unknown Location

Person 1: (Shouts) HEY, IS ANYBODY HERE? HELLO?

(Silence)

Person 1: ANYBODY HERE? (Quietly to himself) Wherever 'here' is. (Shouts again) HEEEY!

Person 2: (Softly) Yea?

One: Finally, a familiar voice. How are you feeling?

Two: A bit woozy, but I'm fine. (Looks around) Is this Hell?

Person 6: If it were, then you would feel a lot worse than wooziness.

Two: You're here too!?

Six: It looks like it.

One: (Sarcastic) Terrific.

Six: You think I'm happy about this. It's hard enough tolerating with one of you.

Two: Hey, do you know if there's anyone else besides the three of us?

Six: I'll check, though I'm certain that we're not the only ones here.

Two: Is there anyway we could get out of here?

Six: No.

One: We can't be sure of that yet. Let's just find our friend…and yours, first.

Six: They're nearby and they're waking up.

One: That was fast. How can you tell? It's dark in here!

Six: …I have ways. Besides this is a small room. Not much to look at.

Person 4: (Groans) …Ooww…my head…

Two: (Eyes widen) …My God.

Four: Huh… I was so hoping it's going to be easy this time: quick in, quick out, go home. It's that too much to ask?

Person 3 groans

Four: You okay?

Three: Why do I feel like I ran for miles without stopping?

Two: He's fine, sort of.

Four: Come on. (Shaking Person 5) Time to get up.

Person 5: I was awake for some time now.

Four: Great! Anyone else?

Five: No. Rest assured everyone is present.

Two: Now that that's settled, we can get out of here.

Six: We can't. I already told you. We've been stripped out our energy: Youki and Reiki. Also, there's no way of entering and exiting.

Two: (Stunned) So… we're prisoners?

Six: Yes. For someone who looks bright, you don't act like it.

One: (Angrily) Hey punk, you'd better watch what you say to him or-

Six: (Gives a cold glare) 'Or' what?

One: Or… or… (Stutters then growls) Just lay off him! It's not as if we planned to be stuck in here with you guys! Must've done something to tick off that creature!

Five: It's more of an official arrest than pointless violence.

Three: Like a police? That sounds about right. Otherwise, Kuwabara wouldn't-

Four: Ah! Kuwabara! What happen to him? Where is he? Did he-?

One: Oh, man! I almost forgot! Kuwabara-san…

Five: He's alive and well, for now.

Three: What do you mean 'for now' and who are you people? (Points at 5 and 6)

Two: Yeah! I know that Kuwabara hung around with you (points at 4) a lot. But I saw him acting as if he knows you guys well enough!

Four: Hasn't anyone ever tell you that it's rude to point? …All right. You may want to sit down for this.

Six: You sure this is wise?

Five: Don't worry. We've met these guys before.

One & Three: What!?

Two: When?

Five: (Ignores the question) They have already seen enough as it is. What's the point in trying to deny it? In addition, there is no way of telling how long we will stay here. They would want an explanation as to what is going on eventually.

Six: …

Four: We can trust them. Ok, see that guy over there? His name is-

Meanwhile…

He don't know how long this hole or how far he is to the ground. All he does know is that this is a genuine rabbit hole to Wonderland. It took him a while to remember, but he figured it out. What he can't understand is why the hole suddenly appeared to him instead of summoning it himself. That's right; he can summon the entrance to Wonderland. It is by accident really, when he was a child; he was so lonely and desperate to escape from a ghost attack in his dreams. His sister didn't know it exactly, but she did suspect something was helping him calm down when their mother passed away. As time went on, he found himself with good company that he gradually stopped going there all together. It does bring back memories, but now it is not the time for reminiscing. Not when he was about to drop dead. He smiles a little at his pun as he reaches towards the light.

He made a rough landing to the ground and the body was still. Eyes are closed and his chest is motionless. Then a breath escapes from his mouth as he heard his own heartbeat. "I'm still alive." He comments with no emotions attach. He land on his back that would have ache in pain, but he didn't feel it. He slowly sits up and opens his eyes to see his childhood hideaway. As he looks ahead toward the environment, he stares at it in silence. He is inside some sort of damp cave with roots sticking out and spider webs. The dusty floor is checker boarded in red and black. He can barely see anymore than that, but he clearly remembers being more bright and clean.

'Something's not right; this can't be Wonderland.' he thought. He starts to get up when he notices that he's not wearing his hospital outfit anymore. He had on his usual blue school uniform with a crimson tank shirt. He is wearing his usual combat boots except it has silver buckles now. He looks at his wrists and sees that he is wearing spike bands on each hand. He then felt tightness on his neck and realizes that there's a band necklace. He touches them around the band and the tips of the spikes on the wristband. Judging by the texture and the sharpness, he'd say that the spikes are made of metal and the bands are leather. He had his hands on them once for a concert.

He stood up and look ahead of him to see a familiar white rabbit with a waistcoat holding a pocket watch. He walks toward him and poke at the shoulder. The rabbit jumps and turns around to see him. He sighs with relief, "Ah, you shouldn't scare me like that!" Kuwabara didn't say anything let alone apologies because he's too focus on the rabbit's… new features. "What are you looking at?" the rabbit said with an attitude, "Come on! We're already late thanks to you!"

After which he turn and speed off, leaving Kuwabara with questions. What's going on here? Why he was he brought here? Did something bad happen? Why did that rabbit look as if it hadn't eaten anything? And lastly: Late for what? 'There's only one way to find out…' he thought and went after him hoping to catch up.

Note: Starting at this point, 'Kazuma' will be use when in the asylum and 'Kuwabara' when in Wonderland.
