Thankies for the reviews Ou Matsuri, Gouenji Zandera Aoi, Floric1434, and an anoymous guest who calls herself Emmy or Emma or something. Sorry I deleted the message. They mean a lot. Please review more! They make me sooooo happy! (sighs) in a few weeks time, I'm leaving to study again. So sorry minna. I'll be getting back once the December holidays are near.


Kazemaru jumped lightly into the room at the other side of the mirror and leaped off from the table onto the floor. He surveillanced the room and rubbed his arms as he felt the sudden change in the surroundings. It was not that cold, just cold enough like an air conditioned room.

The room he was in was the same as his room, but dusty and things that were suppose to be stationary were alive. For example, the pictures hanging on the walls were rolling their eyes and the small little horse statue Kazemaru's dad won in a horse racing competition was galloping and making noises. The teal hair boy sweat drop. He noticed at the corner of his eye that something red and white was moving. He turned and saw his chessboard with the red and white chess pieces jumping around, throwing whatever they were holding(spears, knives and the pitchforks that devils used to carry around) and hitting the other party like there was a war.

Kazemaru blinked. What? He thought. He walked towards them and noticed a book placed beside the board. Jabberwocky? What's that? Kazemaru poundered after reading the tittle of the book. He picked it up, flipped through the pages and stopped at a page with a poem printed on it.

Jabberwocky

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Kazemaru stared at the poem. He did not understand what it was talking about. He could only understand the middle of the poem where the hero killed the monster that's all. He put down the book, walked towards the window and jumped over into his backyard. He needed to look around quickly before Edgar comes back.

It could have been him turning smaller or his lawn grass were never cut from the begining, but Kazemaru would never know why the grass was so tall like trees. Then again, this felt really familiar. Kazemaru thought as he stared up at the grass and what seemed to be the small mini swing he used to play when he was young. Yup, he turned small.

Kazemaru sweat drop. This must mean that he was back in wonderland. But why was the place not wonderland, but his backyard? Kazemaru never fell down a rabbithole too. Wait, Gouenji's rabbithole. The teal hair boy sighed. He would never understand his imagination. He was walked down the lane, hoping to see Kidou, the caterpillar, from wonderland.

"Pissh! Overhere!"

Huh? Kazemaru's head darted from left to right.

"Pissh! Right here!" Kazemaru looked to his right, "That's right! Overhere!" ,said the talking tiger lily with Aki's head as it's head and petals around her face. What the? Wait, shouldn't Aki be one of the card servants of Burn? "Ohayo Kazemaru-kun!" Aki gave him a warm smile.

"Uhm...aren't you one of Burn's servants?" Kazemaru asked. Aki never replied, she just dropped her head to one side with a face showing confusion.

"Burn-sama?"

"Oh ho ho ho! What a dump girl this is!" The two turned their heads and met the talking rose, Natsumi.

"I'm a boy!" Kazemaru growled.

"Oh ho ho ho! A boy! A boy! Pardon me for my wrong accusation! Oh ho ho ho!" Kazemaru felt like punching that half headed human flower. Her laugh was very annoying to his ears. How did the other flowers survive with her? Kazemaru gave himself a mental note to pluck Natsumi up when he gets taller.

"Ne ne, Aki-san! Did you know that the red king is coming?" Haruna the daisy said. Red king? Could it be Burn?

"Really!? Then we must get away. Can't allow him to chop our heads off now can we?" With that, the three flowers walked away. Wait what!? It was a few seconds after that when Burn came. Unlike his previous intro, this time the red head just walked down the path without any servants following or name calling. The red head noticed that his way was blocked by Kazemaru and having to never seen him before, went up to him and asked,

"Where do you come from!? I've never seen you here." Kazemaru's eye twitched. He doesn't know me!?

"I came from that house over there." Kazemaru pointed to his house behind him, "I want to grow taller, do you know where Kidou is?"

"Kidou? Never heard of him. Though I can help you get out of here."

"How?" Burn turned to his side and pointed to a large field with red and black squares spread out over the large area which looked like a chessboard.

"Defeat me in a game of chess and I'll tell you what to do."

"WHAT!? I can't play chess!"

"Don't give me that look or I'll chop your head off!" The teal hair shook his head to get rid of the I-can't-believe-you-force-me-to-play-chess! look he had on his face, "Now, I'll place you as the Gazelle's pawn since Clara is sick today..." Kazemaru let his mind drift off. Well, wherever Burn is, Gazelle should be there. Clara? Is she one of the Aliea Academy students from Sun Garden Orphanage? A teammate of Suzuno? "So, you should be in position and we can continue from where we left off. Ja ne!" With that, the red king walked off.


Just to clarify, the game has already started. However, because the white pawn(Clara) was not well, they needed a subsitute and Kazemaru took her place. Well, how was it? The poem is of course not by me. The poem is originally from the story. I haven't read finished the story yet so I have no idea if that Jabberwocky monster is appearing or not. Please review!
