Not Like Alice

Kagome thought she could be a lot like Alice.

She followed her cat into the well house, and fell into an unknown place. Although it wasn’t the same as the world that Alice fell into, Kagome felt that even the past made no sense at times.

She began to think of the similarities. She fell into the world and found a boy with white ears. They were dog ears and not rabbit ears, but all the same they were fuzzy and soft, just as rabbit ears should be.

But the more she thought about it, the less she had in common with Alice. Kagome rather began to think that Alice had it easy.

Then there was Midoriko, grinning and smiling like a cat. She was vague in her messages, leading them all the way to the terrifying Queen.

Naraku wasn’t near as nice as the Queen of Hearts. All she did was lop off heads. Naraku would chop up more than heads like limbs and homes and most of all – people’s hearts. He made this world cruel and unimaginable. The Queen had just been idea of villainy to scare children into thinking Alice was really special and brave.

But Alice wasn’t, not like Kagome was.

No, Kagome began to think she wasn’t like Alice at all. Kagome was snatched against her will without ever being curious, and there was more to the Feudal Era than meeting confusing characters that weren’t even real.

Here, everything was real – this time, the deaths, the struggles, but more importantly, her friends. And they made it easier for her to return.
