Chapter 1: Mirror Mirror on the Wall...

"...And why am I accompanying you to Wonderland again?", a raven-haired male asked.

All he wanted, was to find Snow White and give them the poisoned apple that he had made and then continue to live in his castle and play games with his mirror.

Honestly, he didn't even care about this whole beauty thing. It was just that it was his duty to do this. He had no choice because he was the Evil Queen.

But that didn't mean that he wanted to follow some random protagonist of another story.

"Well... you don't know your way back anyway, do you?", Mafumafu answered as the older male hummed. "Well, yes. But why should I follow you?", the raven-haired male asked.

"Aw, don't be like that! Isn't it more fun to travel together than alone?", Mafumafu asked as the raven-haired male looked at him for a second before giving him a deadpanned expression and answering: "No."

"Ehhhh?", the albino whined before a smile settled on his face. "Then why have you decided to follow me anyway?"

When the older male didn't answer, the albino continued to talk. "I mean, you could have just gone another way. Maybe you are accompanying me because you are nice and wanted to—"

"Ew, gross. Stop that kind of talk right now. It's not like I want to deal with you. All I want is to visit someone. But I don't know where they are.", the raven-haired male answered.

"But instead of finding them, I found you...", the Evil Queen sighed before he remembered something, halting as he quickly pulled a small mirror out of his cloak. "Ah, I almost forgot! I can just ask them and then find Snow White."

Upon noticing how the older male had suddenly stopped walking, Mafumafu turned around to see the other pull out a mirror and suddenly talking to it which, kind of, worried the younger male.

"Mirror mirror in my hand... Who is the fairest in this land?", the Evil Queen asked, muttering his usual words. The albino looked at the older male in disbelief. "Um... sir, you don't really think that a mirror— Eek!", Mafumafu shrieked as he jumped away when he saw a face appear on the mirror.

The face wasn't really scary as it was actually just a  human standing on the other side. A male with short white hair and blue eyes was staring at them, blue streaks visible in the male's hair.

"My Queen, you truly are a beauty. But the most beautiful in this land is Snow White.", the mirror answered. "Then where the hell is she? You told me that she is in the freaking forest so traveled for four days just to meet her. Instead I met this brat, Alice!", Soraru exclaimed. "Hey!"

"About that... I thought that Snow White was in the Mystic Forest... but for some reason their location is in the Emerald Forest.", the mirror said as the raven-haired male looked at the mirror for a good second before exclaiming his disbelief.

"We have more than one forest in here?! And you told me a wrong one?!", he asked annoyed as the mirror gave him a sheepish smile. "Well... something weird is going on so it got changed. But see it positively! You have some business with the Hatter, don't you?"

As soon as the hatter was mentioned, the raven-haired male groaned in annoyance. "I don't have any business with him. I—"

"He is literally the one who gives you all the ingredients you need just because he likes you. So suck it up and accompany Alice to Wonderland, Soraru.", the mirror said.

"What about my duty—"

"Soraru, who cares about your duty right now? Things have been weird is what I heard. So things are complicated. Just accompany that boy while I try to figure more things out, alright?", the mirror said as the raven-haired male hesitated before sighing and nodding.

"Alright, if you say so, Kagami.", Soraru said sighing as the male on the other side gave him a smile. "It will be fine, don't worry about it, Soraru. Well, I shall inform you once I have more information. So just accompany Alice until then.", Kagami said as the Evil Queen nodded.

"I will then. Let's both do our best Kagami... For our sake.", Soraru said as the other male gave him a small smile nodding. "Yes, let's do that. I will see you then."

And after that, the male disappeared, leaving only Alice and the Evil Queen behind. There was a short silence before it was Mafumafu who spoke up first. "So... your name is Soraru?", the albino asked as the older male looked at the younger male, putting his mirror away.

"Yeah. You have something against that name?", Soraru asked as Mafumafu shook his head. "Just for confirmation because you never really told me your name!", the albino exclaimed.

"Well, now you know it.", Soraru said before starting to walk towards Wonderland, intending to end this conversation. But it seemed as if the albino didn't have the same thought in mind.

"Who was that on the other side right now? You called him Kagami. Do you use some type of magic to communicate from one place to another?", Mafumafu asked curiously as the older male hesitated before answering.

"Kind of. Kagami lives inside the mirror.", Soraru answered. "Inside?", the albino repeated confused as the older male nodded.

But the albino noticed how the older male really didn't want to continue this conversation because Soraru changed the topic and started to talk from himself. "So... you're not scared?"

"Scared? Why should I be?", Mafumafu asked as he tilted his head. "I tried to poison you, you know? And if you haven't noticed yet, I am the Evil Queen.", Soraru reminded the younger male who widened his eyes before looking down.

"Soraru-san... is the Evil Queen.", Mafumafu repeated as the older male nodded.

"Evil Queen... Evil— Why are you a Queen?!", Mafumafu asked as the older male sweat-dropped. "Hah?"

"Wait, are you a woman?! A-Ah, I'm so sorry for assuming your gender ma'am!", the albino apologized as he bowed.

"Oi, I'm not a freaking woman. Do I look like one to you?", Soraru asked as the albino shook his head. "Well no, but you are a Queen?! And I just noticed and ahhhhh—"

"Oh my god, please just shut up. That's just my title. I am not the only one who has another gender despite the title.", Soraru said. "Wait really? Who else?"

"Let's see... the Queen of Hearts... the little Mermaid... Fairy Godmother... Aladdin... You.", the older male answered with a deadpanning look.

"Ehhhhh, Alice doesn't sound that feminine! Boys can be called Alice as well!", Mafumafu defended himself as Soraru rolled his eyes. "Yeah sure."

"It's true!", the albino exclaimed as the raven-haired male sighed and just started walking again. "Anyways, let's just go. I want to get this over with.", Soraru said sighing again.

"So Soraru-san will accompany me to Wonderland?", Mafumafu asked with a hopeful smile. "It's not like I have many other options anyway.", Soraru sighed showing his dissatisfaction.

But the albino wasn't affected by that as he merely pointed to the front with one arm and linked his arm with Soraru's, ignoring the other male's protest.

"Then let's go on an adventure together!"

*****

"And you are really fine with it?", a redhead asked as the brunet sighed and nodded. "Yes."

"Like really really fine with it?", the other male asked as the older male sighed even louder before nodding once again. "Yes!"

"Like... really really really reallyyyyyyy fine with it?"

"Oh my god, you are so annoying! How often do I still have to say yes until you get it!", the brunet exclaimed annoyed as the rabbit jumped slightly. "Well because Wonderland is on the other side of this forest right? You said so and your story was right where you were so why would you want to help me?", Sakata asked.

He really didn't get it at all. After all, people would usually always scold him and then leave, saying how he had to learn things on his own to understand it.

Unlike them, this wolf, who he had learned was named Urata, helped him. He may have scolded and complained at first but he still offered his help.

"Why? Because I feel annoyed when people are looking so helpless. So in order to stop that weird expression on their face, I just do something against it.", Urata answered as the redhead stared at him before giggling.

"So you are actually really kind and want to help us, Urata-san?", the younger male asked as the other felt a blush creep on his face when he was accused of being kind.

"N-no! Did you even hear what I just said? I meant that I am doing something against it so I can have a break from annoying people such as them! I don't care about how they feel!", the Wolf exclaimed.

"Ah, I see! Either way, I am still very thankful for Urata-san to help me! Because I just know that the Queen will definitely scold me and punish me for being late...", Sakata said as his face turned pale.

"...What is she going to do to you?", Urata asked as he gulped. He didn't know the Queen of Hearts personally but what he knew that most of the villains in here were very wicked.

The redhead hugged himself as if to try to hold himself together like that, shivering slightly before he answered. "I don't know but last time I came too late, the Queen forced me to wear one of his dresses... and then I had to walk around like that for the whole week, completing my tasks like that...

I still remember how I got laughed at and how I was watched so I couldn't escape the situation.", Sakata said as he felt a shiver go down his spine as he remembered that.

"Wow... that is humiliating. So the Queen usually humiliated her servants of they appear late?", the brunet asked as the younger male shook his head.

"It's just that she does that to some people. And unfortunately, I am one of those people.", Sakata said sighing as his ears drooped as well.

"Huh... For some reason, I thought everything would be a bit... bloodier though. Because she is the Queen of Hearts, you know?

There are many rumors of her always going: Off with their heads! Or something like that.", Urata pointed out as the redhead shook his head.

"The Queen does execute people sometimes. But it's only when he absolutely has to and there has to be a punishment. You see, our Queen doesn't have much of a choice despite being the Queen...", Sakata said with a sad smile.

"Our Queen... doesn't want to execute people... But has to because the Book of Fate has stated that it has to be done once in a while.", the redhead finished.

"Ah, I'm sorry! Now I started rambling about the Queen all the time! I'm sure you didn't want the conversation to turn out like this! We can change the topic now if you want to!", Sakata assured the older male who only shook his head.

"I was the one who asked about this anyways. Also, this isn't the worst that I've heard of so it doesn't really make that much of an impact to me.", Urata said as he crossed his arms behind his head. "Eh? Really?"

"Mhm. I know more people who are worse than the Queen of Hearts that you told me about.", the brunet said as he saw the redhead's expectant eyes, waiting for him to tell him more.

"For example... The Evil Queen. I heard they are planning to murder someone just because they're more beautiful than them. Or a witch who wants to catch two children just to eat them...

Those are two perfect examples of villains who are worse than your Queen. Though after the story that you told me about her, I don't know if I can believe the rumors about them anymore.", Urata said as he thought about it before shaking his head.

"Ah, forget it. There is no way that they're not wicked.", the brunet said sighing.

"Eh? Why would you think so, Urata-san?", Sakata asked as the brunet shrugged. "Just a hunch."

"A hunch...? Well, I kind of want to believe that they might be good people? I don't know them but our Queen is actually really nice if you ignore the punishments and such... And you are really nice as well, Urata-san!", the redhead exclaimed with a smile as the older male felt a blush creep on his face again.

"Idiot! I'm not kind! How many times do I have to repeat to you that I'm just doing this to so they won't annoy me anymore until you get it?", Urata asked, his face turning darker as the younger male pouted.

"Hey! I'm not an idiot! I may get lost a lot of times but that doesn't make me an idiot!", the redhead defended himself.

"Sure sure, let's just get going so I can get rid of you after this again and go back to my task.", Urata said as he sped up his pace, Sakata following him.

"Ehhh? I thought we could become friends and such! Since we are both kind of the same, you know?", Sakata said as he pointed at his ears, the older male understanding what he meant.

"Just because we are both half animal doesn't mean we're friends, got it? Also who wants to be with a wolf? I could eat you the very next second if I wanted to. For all you know, I could attack you the very next second, only saying that I wanted to eat you instead of Little Red Riding Hood who didn't appear for some god damn reason.", Urata threatened as he ranted at the same time.

But could you blame him for being slightly aggravated about Little Red Riding Hood not appearing even though he waited for so long?

"Well... that might happen but you didn't do it yet, did you?", Sakata pointed out with a smile. "I want to believe you and trust you, Urata-san! And if you eat me... at least you will not have to hunger!", the redhead exclaimed as the older male widened his eyes when he heard that.

"Gross, I was joking around, idiot. As if I'd want to eat you anyway. I am sure you taste disgusting anyways.", he muttered as he looked away. "That's a very mean assumption and how dare you!", the redhead exclaimed pouting before it turned into a giggle as he played with the chains of his pocket watch.

"But at least I won't have to worry about you wanting to eat me anymore then.", Sakata said as the brunet didn't say anything in response, feeling as if he might embarrass himself even further if he did that.

Sakata didn't say anything else though, seeming as if he didn't mind the silence of the older male didn't want to talk.

The silence was something Urata wished for but found weird now that he actually got it. So he decided to speak up first, hoping to maybe make the White Rabbit talk to fill the silence.

"So, want to tell me about your work and what you do?", Urata asked as the younger male looked at the older male, surprised that he'd be interested before a bright smile settled on his face, the male nodding.

"Of course! If Urata-san wants to know, I'd be happy to tell you more! In return, tell me about yourself as well, ok?"

*****

"Great! Then please help me find the wolf and help me kill him!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't even introduce myself yet. My name is Senra and I am nothing more than a hunter. Just a hunter but... I will not let anyone touch grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood~"

Kill.... Was he seriously going to help someone to kill someone?

According to the tale, the wolf was an animal. But from the conversations he had with many people in the past, Shima had heard that the wolf actually had human features.

Well, he was going to fulfill Senra's wish without a doubt. It was his job to fulfill his master's wishes after all.

It's just that Shima wondered if this was a good idea. For now, he decided to shake it off and focus on the blond male walking next to him as he flew next to the younger male.

What mattered to him the most was that he could be outside for the first time since forever again.

And the blond male next to him interested him so might as well get to know him more before he'd fulfilled his three wishes.

"So... want to tell me more about yourself?", the purple-haired male asked, interrupting the silence that they were in as the blond male looked at him in slight confusion.

"More about myself? I don't think there is much interesting about me compared to a genie like you but I guess I can do that?", Senra said laughing.

"Let's see... You already know that I'm a hunter so my job is to basically hunt animals down in the forest which could be a danger to everyone and take them down.", Senra answered.

"Ohhhh, that's cool! So basically like protecting the citizens from danger!", the older male exclaimed as the other blushed in response, scratching his cheek as he nodded. "I-I guess? Thank you."

The older male grinned in response as he nodded before he continued to talk. "No problem! So is that why you want to hunt down the wolf? Cause he is dangerous as well?", Shima asked as the younger male next to him turned grim and nodded.

"I've heard that he lives deep inside the forest and had injured many people from our village already. Most of them were so injured that they were on the edge of death. If not for our good doctors, they would have died.", the blond male explained.

"And to make it worse, I heard that he lived close to the cottage of grandmother which Little Red Riding Hood always goes to visit... I may worry too much but who knows what might happen to her if she runs into the wolf...

She is very gullible so she might believe everything the wolf tells her. Maybe even start collecting some flowers while he goes to eat her grandmother and then her...", Senra said as his face turned pale when he had to think of that.

"I see... So you want to kill the wolf so that he can't even try to kill them?", Shima asked as the younger male nodded. "Yeah... But I was a bit worried to manage that alone so I was happy when you suddenly appeared with that three wish thing.", Senra mentioned.

"Ah, I see~ I'm the light who appeared in your darkness, ain't I?", the older male asked with a grin as the blond merely snorted in response.

"Well, maybe you were. I couldn't really believe you at first because you looked kind of different from our village. But seeing all of this...", Senra said as he motioned towards the flying genie. "And how you came out of a lamp, I guess it must be real."

"Of course I'm real! If you doubt it, I'll just have to make you believe me~", the older male chirped as the younger male chuckled before it died down.

"But Shima-san... I know how selfish my wish must be. Asking you to help me kill someone is not exactly a pleasant thing. So I completely understand if you don't want to do it.", Senra assured the other male who shrugged.

"Nah, it's fine! My duty is fulfill all wishes no matter what! And coming from someone as cute as you, I wouldn't mind any wish you give me.", the purple-haired male said, winking as the blond male could merely look away, feeling embarrassed by those words. "Thank you... I guess..."

Shima could only stare at the hunter as he grinned in amusement before he remembered something, deciding to speak up.

"Ah, by the way, have you already thought of what your other two wishes will be after we managed to kill the wolf? You still have some after this after all.", Shima reminded the younger male who looked as if he just remembered that.

"Ah... you're right. I completely forgot about that.", Senra said laughing as he scratched his head. "Honestly... I haven't thought about it yet because my wish and goal had always only been to defeat the wolf so he can't hurt anyone anymore. I never really thought about anything else.", the blond said as he laughed sheepishly.

"Well, just take your time and think about it then~ I have a lot of time on my hand anyway and returning inside the lamp so fast again is boring~", the genie said as he crossed his arms behind his head.

"Can you not get outside of the lamp by yourself?", Senra asked curiously as the older male sighed theatrically in response.

"No, I am always stuck inside the lamp unless someone summons me! Like... I am not some shut-in so let me go out at least once in a while!", Shima complained, though his tone was light which made the blond male chuckle.

"Ah, but I'm with a cutie this time who might need some time to think of his wishes so I might be lucky and get to stay outside a bit longer~", the older male chirped which caused the other to blush and look away again.

"Are you always this sly?", Senra asked as he covered the lower half of his face, the older male pretending as if he was thinking about what to answer before shrugging.

"Who knows~? But I can say for sure that you really are the cutest I've met until now~ And I have met a lot of people~", Shima chirped as the younger male's blush worsened upon hearing that.

"Shima-san, you are so embarrassing, you know that?", Senra asked as Shima nodded with a grin. "Yeah but your reactions are cute and funny.", the older male replied which caused the younger male to groan, making the purple-haired male snicker.

Shima might have to go back inside in his lamp for some time again after he fulfilled Senra's three wishes. But he knew for sure that until the time came, he'd definitely enjoy being the blond hunter's company.
