A/N: Hello people! This idea has been going around in my head for a while, but I haven't had a proper-proper idea of how to put it down on paper until now!
This was not supposed to be a multi-chapter fic, but I guess it works this way too! And better for you, ne?
Enjoy the fic!
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-Chapter 1-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Shibuya Yuuri was no longer accustomed to being transported from one world to the other without his consent. Ever since he defeated Soushu he had the power to control when he went between the worlds.
This time, however, he had been walking down the street on his way home from baseball practice when he happened upon a puddle. It had come as a complete shock when he felt the familiar feeling of being sucked into another dimension. Another shock followed when he spent longer under water than he normally did when changing worlds.
"Ugh…" Yuuri rose from the murky water, trying his best not to swallow any of the mud on his lips. "What was the big idea this time…?"
The young king looked all around, but there was no sign of his usually present subjects. No Günter to hug him (despite the mud) and tell him how royal he looked caked in mud. No Wolfram to demand what he had been doing on Earth and then refuse to listen to Yuuri's answer. No Conrad to… be Conrad and always make him feel better with his 'Okaeri, Heika' and million dollar smile and the towels he would hand Yuuri and tell Yuuri of his kingdom's happenings while the king himself dried off.
But now he was alone.
No one had come to greet him.
Did they even know he had come? They should, but did they?
Yuuri took a deep breath and looked around. It was late here too; the sun was going down and it was starting to get cold. He looked down at his soaked and dirty baseball uniform, "At least I left my bat and mitt in my locker…"
The teen walked a few paces closer to the trees that surrounded the small murky pond. It seemed like he was in a forest. Maybe his escort had gotten lost or were only just on their way. Thus Yuuri decided to sit against one of the trees and wait for his royal guard; there was no point in getting lost himself or moving too far from the mud-pond.
It had not even been five minutes when Yuuri heard the unmistakable sound of hooves approaching. He jumped up from his spot, ready to greet his friends with his usual cheery smile. However, he froze when he heard the people talking; they didn't sound familiar—or friendly—and come to think of it, weren't there too many horses to be the usual crowd that came to meet him?
The teen king moved back into the shadows of the trees, the sun had gone down almost completely, giving him more cover. Even if it was someone he knew it was better safe than sorry, right?
The group of men came to the edge of the pond and dismounted. It was only then that Yuuri remembered the tell-tale signs that he had left that would lead the men straight to him. Doing the only thing he could think of he turned around and started moving quietly through the forest, away from the group.
It was very hard to see, but thankfully he had yet to give away his position. Suddenly the men's voices grew louder and Yuuri was sure they had discovered his direction. He sped up.
'I need to find some place to hide,' Yuuri thought, close to panic now that the horses were moving again. 'They'll catch up if I don't think of something and fast!'
Suddenly something gave away under Yuuri's feet and he tumbled down a small slope. A horse neighed in alarm and stomped its hooves as the rider reined it back. Yuuri coughed as dust rose from what he assumed was a path.
The rider had dismounted and was now hurrying towards the king on the ground.
'Now I'm in trouble…'
Yuuri lifted his head, looking at the man who was going to—Conrad?!
"C-Conrad, is that you?"
Weller Conrad let shock pass through his normally controlled features. The Maou wasn't supposed to be here; he was supposed to be at the pond, so why—?
"I'm so glad I found you!" Yuuri said, sitting up and getting ready to rise. That's when Conrad's brain kicked in and he offered a hand to his king.
"Heika, what are you doing here? Don't you know it's dangerous to leave the place you arrive? You could have gotten lost or—"
"Conrad!" That shut him up. "There are a bunch of men and I think they know I'm here. And where is 'here' anyway?"
The soldier looked into the forest, noticing the sound of horses. 'Why didn't I notice them before?' Conrad then shook those unnecessary thoughts out of his head and grabbed his king's hand, dragging him to Conrad's mount.
"We're in human territory, and we need to get out. These people are not friendly."
Conrad kicked his horse into action before they had even settled down properly, Yuuri only just managing to hug Conrad around the waist before he was thrown backwards.
Not long after, the two could hear their pursuers on the path and coming after them.
"We have to get off the path, Heika, hold on!" Conrad then steered his horse to the left and jumped the slope before being covered by the trees. "It'll be easier to lose them here."
Yuuri only nodded numbly against his knight's back, trying desperately to think of a way to get both of them safely to Shin Makoku.
"NO!"
Yuuri found himself flying off the horse when Conrad pulled the reins for a quick right. The group had split and the half still in the forest had found them.
"Yuuri!" Conrad jumped off the horse's back and rushed to the now-standing Maou. The soldier's sword was drawn as he stepped in front of Yuuri. "Stay back, Yuuri."
The enemy was at an advantage and they soon had the two surrounded. Conrad fought with all that came close, but there were too many to keep track of them all.
"AH!" Yuuri felt a stabbing pain in his right shoulder and he kneeled from the intense feeling.
For a split second Conrad took his eyes off the enemy and concentrated on his injured king. Thankfully the men around them were momentarily distracted by the rest of the group arriving.
Thinking fast, Conrad grabbed Yuuri around the waist, swinging him over his shoulder and making a break for it.
Conrad fought his way past the only two humans who weren't too shocked to react. This stunt earned him a slash on one arm, but it got him and Yuuri out of the circle.
The brown-clad soldier ran as fast as he could, glad that Yuuri and he had a habit of running every morning, otherwise he might not be this fast.
The pair soon ran out of ground as they came to a large lake. Conrad cursed himself silently for not remembering this obstacle. He lowered Yuuri to the edge of the lake and turned to face the fast approaching men.
"Yuuri get into the water and get yourself back to Earth."
The teen shook his head to rid it of the haziness that threatened to overwhelm him. Conrad told him to transport himself back… That's it!
Before Conrad could charge at the enemy Yuuri grabbed a hold of his sleeve with his left hand and started dragging him into the water.
"Yuuri what are you…?" It was only then that Conrad noticed the arrow embedded in his king's shoulder.
"I'm transporting us both to Earth." The double black's voice sounded strained, but determined.
"Yuuri…" Conrad swung his sword in an arc as more arrows threatened to pierce them. "You ca—" But before he could finish his sentence he was already knee-high in water and being pulled in farther.
The next thing Conrad's brain told him to do was breathe, which he did. Upon opening his eyes he found that they were in another lake, though this one was more peaceful than the one before. Speaking of which…
"Yuuri!" Conrad helped the teen out of the water and onto the shore. Conrad looked him over trying to assess his condition.
The king was lying on his left side as his back would've proven difficult to lie on. He was pale and the water mixed with his blood, making it seem like he was bleeding more than he should be.
"Do you think your horse will be alright?" Brown eyes widened at the question. Was this just Yuuri's over-caring personality or was this the pain and blood loss talking?
"Yuuri, I need to get that arrow out of your shoulder, alright?"
"Of course, whatever you feel you need to do…" Yuuri's eyes were glazed over and Conrad was sure that if Wolfram had come and announced that he was marrying the Maou right now, Yuuri would have agreed.
"This will hurt, ok?" Conrad kneeled next to his king and propped him up so that he was leaning against his knee and thigh. Then the older man closed his eyes and hoped that this would not be too painful. He grabbed the arrow in the middle and put his other hand on the uniform and skin at the base of the arrow. "I'm sorry Yuuri…" He pulled.
Yuuri tensed as he felt the arrow slide out of his skin and he saw a blinding light in the dark before slumped forward in a dead faint.
"Yuuri?" Conrad lifted him into a sitting position again and proceeded to remove his own uniform top so that he could bandage the wound. The soldier took off his brown jacket and unbuttoned his white one in order to rip a few strips form it.
Conrad took note that the blood flow had increased, but that was to be expected as the block was removed.
Once he had three good strips of makeshift bandage he started unbuttoning Yuuri's uniform. He had to hug Yuuri in order to get the top off his back and arms, but stopped after only getting one arm out of the sleeve.
"What the hell do you think you're doing to him?!"
Uh oh, this was not good.
