Author's Note: Here is Kaito's awesome but confusing part. Poor Meiko, I'm still fetching food for her. Hopefully I don't get stabbed by her in the attempt. Anyways, Kaito's the next one Dream-san will be torturing…Wait, kinda confused, is Onee-chan older sibling or older sister? Because I think the dream's calling Kaito Onee-chan…Somebody please make it clear in a review! I don't know why, but I had minor writer's block during this, so if you don't like it, blame the writer's block. I changed it to Kaito-nee because I thought introducing him the same way I introduced Meiko would be kinda boring…This way we'll know Kaito's name before I actually introduce it properly. Also, something creepy: KAITO'S ACTED BY A GIRL IN THE DRAMA! I freaked, he sounds like a girl at the going crazy part…

EDIT: Thanks, Amary, for answering the question NOBODY ELSE BOTHERED TO ANSWER! No offense...

Disclaimer: Do I look like the head of any of the companies that produce Vocaloids? No, I don't. Sheesh, disclaimers are annoying even if you only type a few… Don't own sub either.

Second Alice

Let's see how well the next Alice does, hmm?

"Ah, he doesn't care about people anymore. Kaito-nii said before that he was thinking…"

"About becoming an Alice. He'll become an Alice and leave from this world."

"It's not that I don't care!" the blue-haired man named Kaito protested. The Dream and Kaito stood in the middle of a street. The blue-haired man had a long white coat with a blue muffler. A blue rose was pinned to the muffler, and the man worked as minstrel. "Now," Kaito continued, "people are being killed right away! It's terrible…" His voice faded.

The Dream said, "Hey, Onii-chan, you thought about it before, but you're not really brave, right?"

Kaito grabbed his hair in frustration. "So you saw it? Whoever does usually knows, it's horrible!" (Author's Note: Huh? Don't know what Kaito means by "It's," so don't ask!)

"Hm?" Apparently the Dream didn't understand the point. "It doesn't matter, you're becoming an Alice."

"Red," Kaito muttered. Those horrible memories of that woman slaying all the people around her were still fresh in his mind. "Red," he muttered again. "Red. When you slay people and their families." (Author's Note: There's a completely gibberish part I don't understand. Something about Meiko having a lover, but Meiko wasn't in the Alice world long enough to get one, so I just omitted it.)

The Dream replied, " I guess you don't hear it." A smile came over the Dream's face. "Well, do your best then." The Dream disappeared, the road around them transforming into a completely different one, also made out of stone, but it would be impossible to mistake it for the road that Kaito and the Dream were just in. Kaito didn't notice his new surroundings, his face still turned down, clenching his teeth due to the pure horror he could remember from those memories.

"Her face is…" he continued on, fear creeping into his quiet voice. "It wasn't covered in red at first!" (Author's Note: At first, this line was a lot more confusing.) Kaito took a shuddering breath. "Her face, she…" Another breath.

I should calm down a bit, Kaito thought. How…? Singing, maybe? Singing always helped. His mind swiftly created lyrics and tunes for him to sing, as it always did. Most of the time Kaito wasn't even aware of the process.

"Oh, that song. It's time for that song," he murmured quietly. The murmur of people echoed around the alley. "I'll sing it. I'm getting distracted," Kaito said, putting one fist to his heart to steady himself.

"The Second Alice was a fragile blue one," Kaito quietly sang, trying out the new, strange lyrics. "He sang to the world in the wonderland. Filling regions with so many…"

Before Kaito could continue his song, he was interrupted by a girl in a brown-and-white dress with bright pink hair. "Hmm? What's that song?" she asked curiously. "It's not a very amusing song."

"Um," Kaito hesitated. "Oh that… I don't know. I just suddenly thought of it."

The girl had a puzzled look on her face. "Eh? Well, that's fine," she continued. Curious about what the song could be about, the pink-haired girl encouraged Kaito."Keep going."

A quick pause of hesitation came before Kaito's reply, "Sure."

"Filling regions with so many false created notes, that were of a crazy blue world." By now, a small crowd had gathered to listen, since you didn't meet a minstrel ready to sing for no pay too often. Besides, the song was intriguing.

"This new Alice was…" Kaito stopped to think about what he was singing. Alice? Wasn't that what the Dream had wanted him to become?

Kaito stopped suddenly in the middle of the song. "Ah, Alice?" he muttered, too low for anyone to hear. "This song! A while ago, children were singing this." (Author's Note: As usual, don't ask. As far as I know, no children were around except for the Dream.)

"Onee-chan, keep singing," a young boy cried out. "Like a minstrel."

"That's right!" Cries of encouragement started ringing out from the crowd.

"Sing more!"

"Hurry up and sing."

Kaito continued uncertainly, "Th-this new Alice was that of a rose. H-he was shot and k-killed by a mad man." His voice started fading on the notes. "It left a flower blooming sadly red. The one who was loved was now…

"Forgotten." The word came out of Kaito's mouth on its own, said in barely more than a whisper.

The crowd stayed. Quite a few people had the same thought running through their minds, That wasn't a very amusing song. Some were tempted to move on, but the blue-haired man looked broken and shattered even though it was just a song.

Kaito started chuckling a wild, gasping laugh. "Red!" he whispered suddenly. "Flowing red!" he said louder. "Her…Their blood!" Most of the people were getting ready to flee from this obvious madman.

"Blood!" the minstrel was starting to shout hysterically now. "Blood! Blood!" He cackled loudly, the harsh sound echoing around the alley. Most of the commoners walking in the alley turned their heads towards the harsh noise.

The minstrel turned around, a maniacal look in his eyes now. "You all!" he screamed, putting up a strange question. "Did you know that your blood is red?" The hysteria in the blue-haired man's eyes was getting more and more apparent. "That's great! It's red! Really red!" A messenger of the queen darted out of the crowd.

Kaito spotted a gun in a nearby man's hand. He quickly paced over, and whipped it out of the man's hand. The man nearly fell backwards in surprise. "While you only see black!" (Author's Note: Um, are you okay, Kaito? Wow, Kaito can be seriously twisted in some songs…) Many members of the crowd were trying to get away from the mad minstrel, while some stayed back in shock and surprise.

The gun was now loaded and pointed at the "madman minstrel's" head, being held by the madman himself. "You guys should see it now!" the minstrel cried out, pointer finger on the trigger.

Bang!

"Ugh…" the Dream groaned, holding and fiddling around with a small doll replica of Kaito, the Second Alice who met his death at his own hand. "Don't do it. Don't worry about what they said."

"But I'm glad," the Dream said, holding up a blue Ace of Diamonds in his other hand, the card burning away like Meiko's card. "You are also prepared to take someone with you."

Crash!


Author's Note: The ending crash sounded like glass… Yes, Kaito's twisted like heck in here. Neh, somehow, I actually was typing fastest at his death~ Am I also evil?

I'm putting up a new story, The Tailor of Enbizaka. Please read it once it is up.
