Hey guys sorry for the late update and I promise this chapter is better than the last!
The Hearts
Kakuzu bowed his head graciously to the pink haired beauty that stood in front of him. "Oh my queen. It is absolutely terrifying! The men in my kingdom are going bankrupt, and I'm losing all my money to the mock turtle! Fucking man tricking all my men into thinking that he couldn't play poker!"
Alice looked at Kakuzu with disappointed eyes as Hidan continued smirking at his place behind her.
"Caterpillar. Stand, do not bow so lowly in front of me." Alice sat down on the table as she crossed her legs and pursed her lips. "Now shut up about your kingdom going bankrupt and tell me the problem. I can only take control of Sakura's body for so long."
Kakuzu stood us slowly and leaned on the wall casually as he began to explain. "It's really simple. My queen, as Alice, your words are, no were absolute." Alice casually raised her eyebrow at this statement but motioned for him to continue. "While you were gone, one of the rulers of the kingdoms went to the looking glass to rewrite your order."
"WHAT?" Alice stood abruptly with flames of anger engulfing her eyes as she began to crack her knuckles. "Who dares to erase all the hard work I put into building this place up! Tell me the name Caterpillar and this body of mine will see that they will never be able to move again! Sakura here is a very powerful ninja, or magician and I will see to it that she destroys this mad person! Who could be so mad to rewrite my order?" Sakura screamed every word as Kakuzu stood silently by the wall.
"I do not know the mastermind behind this yet but I will find out my queen." Kakuzu bowed slightly before Hidan could not hold his curiosity in for any longer.
"If I may my queen," Hidan started with a quiet voice that made Alice's seething eyes stare right into his violent eyes. "The looking glass was supposed to be lost many years ago, before you even became queen. How is something that is lost being rewritten?"
Alice looked down at the slightly bowing Hidan before sighing. "White Rabbit you should never have to bow to me. Now get up!" She looked to both Kakuzu and Hidan before putting a hand on her head. "Augh Sakura is waking up. Caterpillar, I need you to explain to Hidan what's going on here. And both of you, Sakura is not allowed to know about me just yet, nor is she allowed to know the gravity of the situation. She is strong and she will now leave people in need but I cannot have her break so early in this game. Remember also that no one can know that she is Alice." Alice's head started thumping as her heart started hammering against her chest.
She wobbled over to Kakuzu before collapsing in his arms.
"My queen! Caterpillar what is going on here! You better tell me with everything we've been through while in the Akatsuki kingdom!" Hidan told Kakuzu quickly as he began to raise his voice.
Kakuzu stared at Hidan before shaking his head. "Not now White Rabbit. I promise to you that I will tell you later but we have to make sure Alice stays safe and hidden." Kakuzu turned around to leave the rooms while still carrying Alice in his arms. "Oh, but a word of advice, keep your heart safe."
Hidan turned to stare at the crystal gem that lay floating the in the corner of the room. By the time he turned back around both Alice and Kakuzu were nowhere in sight and the hole that Caterpillar opened to get into his room was closed up. "Keep my heart fucking safe huh?"
Hidan slowly reached out to grab his heart and plucked it out of the air.
Oh Jashin-sama, I will accept any punishment you give me but please let me accept this heart. I accept you Alice.
The heart started to sink into Hidan's chest as his eyes started to turn into a more vibrant, brighter color of violet.
He smiled cheerfully as he turned around and walked back through the part of the wall he came from. Yes, of course he would keep his heart safe. This was the gift bestowed to every new ruler by Alice herself.

In a nearby island a bright red castle was being filled with people. Many people were entering the castle wearing strange costumes with feathers sticking out of seams and hats and men were wearing suits of many different colors.
"Kyahahahaha! Did I hear you right Cheshire Cat? You saw Caterpillar carrying a girl to his room? That uptight caterpillar? Kyahahahaha! That's just absolutely hilarious!" A woman wearing all red laughed madly as she began rocking back and forth in her chair. Standing across from her was a man with long blonde hair dressed in all black with a purple tail.
"Mhmm I just fell off my seat when I saw it. Could it be true? The uptight member of our old kingdom has finally found himself a mistress!" The blonde started laughing along with the woman as two other men lazily sauntered into the room.
"Hey Red Queen Konan, your guests are all here." The black haired man drawled out.
"Yeah Queen, your guests might get impatient if you keep making them wait any longer." The red haired one of the two also drawled out in a sexy voice.
The Red Queen Konan sighed ruefully. "Fine, Mock Turtle Shikamaru and Dormouse Sasori I'll be down in a second. Come along Cheshire Cat Deidara." She hastily stood up and left the room leaving the Mock Turtle, Dormouse and Cheshire Cat to stare after her.
The Cheshire Cat grinned gleefully as his legs started to disappear. "Well ta-ta you two. I'm going to go find the White Queen. Parties bore me terribly and I need to spread the rumor of Caterpillar and his new girl around." Deidara smiled again before completely disappearing leaving Sasori and Shikamaru to stare at the place he was just at. They both looked at one another before walking out of the room.
Down at the party hall, hundreds of people were mingling and dancing as the orchestra played classical music.
In the center of the ballroom, the red queen was dancing with a man with orange hair who was dressed in a similar style as the queen.
"My darling King Pein, how have you been? I hear you have been with the March Hare recently speaking of the trading of our cloths." She asked her husband as he twirled her delicately.
"My Queen, the trading with March Hare Naruto are nothing which you have to worry yourself over. More importantly, aren't you exhausted with having to power this whole hall with your power? I could always lend you a hand my love." Pein spoke in a tender voice as they swirled around the dance floor.
"My dearest it is quite alright. Look up there." Konan and Pein both looked to the biggest chandelier in the hall that hung right about their heads. If one were to look closely enough they could see a shiny, red heart in the middle of it.
"Darling I know how stressful that can be to your body. Are you sure the heart is even safe up there?" Pein asked his partner quietly and quizzically. If any one were to steal the heart, then this whole place would collapse instantly.
"It is alright. No one should know and just in case I had Dormouse cast a spell on it to make it untouchable to everyone but me."
This made Pein smile in relief as the pair kept dancing around to the music. Of course, they were both oblivious to the pair of dark eyes that were staring at the chandelier with a huge smirk on their face.
