Flying On The Wings Of Shibuya
Prologue
She was out of magic.
Quickly she spun on her heel and began towards the entrance she originally came from, the doors flew open and Card Guards began shuffling in. Turning, Alice bit her lip and overlooked all her options.
The final attack with the Jabberwocky's Eye Staff had rendered the Red Queen near death, and with no magic Alice had entrusted the final blow with a chuck of her knife. The attack seemed so straightforward, but the Red Queen allowed her body to fly through the air like paper would in the wind-never something the young woman had expected. With a painful cry the Queen disappeared into the dark depths between their fighting stage, the sounds of slithering and slime reaching Alice's ears.
With no other choice, Alice took one last look at the approaching guards before she sat on the end of the stage and threw herself into the pit. Before she could open her mouth to scream she had landed, and a quick look above told her she had unknowingly fell quite a ways. Standing and brushing herself off, Alice focused her gaze in the nearly pitch-black lighting, the only glow seemingly coming from a lantern floating in the air.
The Cheshire Cat's grin appeared, and with a slow blink his entire body became visible, tail wrapped gently around the handle of the lamp. "Your battle has not yet been won, pursue the Red Queen and reach her in time, or else this battle could turn bittersweet."
His tail placed the lamp in Alice's hand and she began a steady pace after the Red Queen, the cat's humming quietly disappearing the further she left.
It was only then she took a moment to turn, eyebrows furrowing as she digested what she had just seen. With a quick raise of the lantern, the light gave a glimpse of a slightly larger area, "Cat?" She hissed, chewing on her lower lip and she tried to understand what she had just seen.
But that couldn't have been possible; she had seen the death of the Cheshire Cat with her own eyes, hadn't she? The blood had been real, and fur from when she gave his head a final stroke was still warm, surely she couldn't have been imaging that?
Shakily she turned back around, deciding to pursue the Queen while thinking of the Cheshire Cat, it would do no good to stand in one place.
Gathering her wits, Alice followed a trail of blood down a hallway, the walls the same pulsing pink as when she first entered the castle. Under her feet came the weird sounds she tried to ignore, not wanting to question what the castle was made of. It seemed like this direction was a last resort, there was nothing here more than an extremely long hallway and a door with a portal at the end. The splatters of blood were larger, leading through the portal, it didn't seem to move nor have any traps related to it. With a quick rush she held her breath and leapt through the door, eyes squeezing shut just for the moment before the breeze hit her face.
A loud screech caused her to jump back; she flew from the street to the sidewalk just in time to dodge what she assumed to be a car. It was nothing like the cars she ever remembered seeing, they were passing by in a near-blur and for a moment she caught her breath. No one even looked in her direction and the clothes and look of the entire place did little to ease her confusion.
Where exactly was she?
Slowly she dropped the lantern at her feet and took several steps towards a street light, grasping onto it to catch her breath for a moment. The pole was cold and she avoided the odd rectangle with a button attached, instead turning to glance around the street.
Not a soul had glanced at her, she opened her mouth to speak but nothing had come out. Taking the second she sighed and allowed her body to slump against the pole before stepping towards someone standing on the side of the road. They were waving to someone in the street, eagerly watching yellow cars zoom past and not taking any notice of Alice stopping just a half-step away from them.
"Excuse me?" She requested, leaning forward with a hand resting at her heart, "I-I'm quite confused and don't know exactly where I am, can you help?"
But the person said nothing except 'finally' and stuffed their belongings into the backseat of a yellow car that had stopped in front of them. Without giving her a glance he slid into the seat and shut the door, effectively taking off and leaving her to try and see past the smoke.
Blowing strands of hair from her face, she turned around to eye everything. Most of the buildings looked sturdy, sure things in Europe were secure in their own right, but these were superior to anything she could think of. It seemed as if she could get lost easily, even more then she already was, and that fear filled her heart and kept her feet from moving.
Across the street was a young man, a black thing, possibly a hat, smashed over his bright blond hair as he chatted to the girl next to him. Grinning, he raised a fist and scream something out that Alice couldn't understand, but he was drawing enough attention to them that Alice hoped being near them would alert someone to her.
Hesitantly she stepped forward, the blond boy began shaking his arms wildly in the air and several kids around him started doing the same. There was warmth on her chest and her lips began to curl into an amused smile; just by looking at them the on-edge feeling was slowly slipping away. As soon as everyone began walking across the street she followed suit, not daring to touch anything until she knew it was safe to.
"Uhm, hello?" She questioned as she neared the boy, he seemed not to notice though, this time throwing his hands to his face as he groaned. The kids in front of him cheered and began laughing at what seemed to be his loss.
It was then she noticed the young girl next to him, an innocent-looking face framed by bright blond hair and gentle blue eyes. The girl's eyes actually met hers, unlike those of everyone else who looked past her, and the girl smiled. Uncertain what to say, Alice gave a timid smile back, taking a quick glance around to see if there was anyone behind her the girl may be looking at.
But no, the girl tilted her head just in time as the boy next to her yelled out 'Hey, phones!' and began waving madly at the area away from them. The same direction as the girl pointed her out with head movement.
Alice spun on her heel and eyed the boy that the blond had waved to, he was looking at her for a confused moment before focusing on the blond, but Alice still gave a look of surprise. Suddenly she was being acknowledged and it was quite a shock when most others didn't even see her.
Without pausing from his walk, the redheaded boy waved to them and gave a call of 'later' and began in another direction. Alice's gaze lingered a moment longer before she turned back to the blond girl, intent on asking where the hell she was. The girl blinked at her before moving her head again, in a much more focused and pushing manner. "What are you trying to-?"
Her head swiveled, hair falling across her forehead and covering her eyes for a quick moment. Brushing them apart, Alice's mouth opened silently in surprise and her eyes widened.
The same redheaded boy from before was still walking away from them, seemingly unfazed or unchanged. Except for the two, long white ears sprouting from a purple object in his hair. Without another word, Alice began to follow, intrigued on how the boy was suddenly able to sprout ears. This was possibly the sign she'd been looking for, the Cheshire Cat had died in front of her and then re-appeared after the battle, why couldn't the White Rabbit have done the same?
"Wait!" She called, but knew her voice was drowned out by the crowd. Angrily she stomped her foot and began marching after him, "You better have tea when I reach you, or else I will be most displeased."
