Our King

AU, Magi x HunterxHunter x Cuticle Detective Inaba crossover

Summary: Thanks to a certain goat, Kei Nozaki and Neferpitou ended up in a strange world with rukh. Together with the 4th prince of Kou, their king, they live and battle in their new world.

Pairings: Judal x Hakuryuu, possible Kei x Kougyoku and Jafar x Hakuryuu, Implied Sinbad x Jafar and Alibaba x Morgiana

Warning: Possible OOCness, yaoi (gay pairings), spoilers for all three manga/anime series, etc.

Disclaimer: I do not own Magi, Hunter x Hunter, or Cuticle Detective Inaba, or their characters. Each respectively belongs to Shinobu Ohtaka, Yoshihiro Togashi, and Mochi.

Note: It's not really a crossover, I think, because this fic will focus on the world of Magi, so only Kei Nozaki and Pitou will be the focus characters from the other animes. There will be mentions though… Also there might be more pairings; those listed above are pairings I want to include.

A/N 2016: I decided to revised all my chapters because I really appreciate all the reviews/favs/follows this fic has gotten. When I was rereading my posted chapters to refresh my memory, I noticed a lot of flaws and plot holes (admittedly because I was itching to write Sindria Arc and wanted to get there ASAP, thus neglected to properly set up this fic). So I want to apologize to all my readers, as such is not the quality you all deserve and such would reflect poorly in the plot unless I revise these chapters.

That said, there is not much difference in the revised prologue, chapter 1, and chapter 2. Chapter 3 is when things actually changed, since I elaborated more on Pitou, Kei, and Hakuryuu's relationships and situations.

Also one last thing, I decided to leave the honorifics -dono (Lord/Lady, but lack self-humbling), -san (Mr./Ms.), and -sama (Lord/Lady/Master; "a term of great respect, one step higher than -san") untranslated because they don't really have an English equivalent that wouldn't really sound weird or one that is completely accurate. -kun and -chan as well because they don't have an English equivalent at all.

I'm sorry for this long and wordy note ^^;;;

Prologue

In a forest...

One punch to the face was all it took... for the royal guard to lose, and sent flying through the air until Chimera Ant's battered body finally slammed into a tree trunk that did not get ripped apart by the force.

Covered in fresh blue blood that spilled from the wounds, Pitou thought of the Chimera Ant King, and the human boy coming closer to complete his revenge for a precious friend that had been killed for entertainment.

I'm glad I'm the one to die…! Pitou thought, although barely conscious, as the aberrant soul - recombined from the souls of a human, a cat, an ant, and possibly more - slowly departed from the physical world to cross into the afterlife...

Only to never reach Heaven or Hell.

In a normal house owned by the Mafia...

Standing on top of a table, Don Valentino laughed as he thought of getting rid of the wolf once and for all. Now that Noah had successfully created a machine that will send the wolf to another world, hence erasing his enemy's existence forever, all he had to do was lure the wolf into a trap and force him into the machine's chair. Having already sent a letter containing a fake invitation to a party to the Secret Doberman's residence, the only thing left to do was to wait.

He did not have to wait long, fortunately, as Hiroshi Inaba and his companions burst through the door just seconds later. Everything was going as planned.. until Lorenzo accidentally shoved one of Inaba's assistants, Kei Nozaki, into the modified leather chair meant for the wolf, while trying to dodge Inaba's signature attack.

Just as Kei disappeared from the room in a flash of light, the Cuticle Bolt attack electrocuted both Lorenzo and the machine.

This resulted in the raven-haired boy being sent away with currently no way of returning and a certain goat being strangled to death by his streak-haired underling.

Unknown to the unconscious 16-year-old, his body dragged along a soul journeying to the afterlife.

In the Imperial Palace of the Kou Empire...

The first imperial princess, Hakuei Ren, and her most faithful retainer, Seishun Ri, were sparring in a secluded training ground. As they stopped to rest and rehydrate themselves, Seishun brought up one of their usual topics - to which Hakuei shook her head. It had been many times Seishun suggested to his princess that she should hire an assistant for her younger brother. However, the only reply he ever received was that she'll think about it. This time too, she merely told him that she haven't found anyone she could entrust with Hakuryuu, and ended the conversation. Seishun could see, despite the princess's efforts, that she was constantly worried for Hakuryuu, who frequently avoid or ignore everyone in the palace but them and his tutors. As such, he kept suggesting, hoping that eventually she would agree to do so.

That way, both hers and his concerns will dwindle.

Unbeknownst to them, a bored teen was eavesdropping as he chewed his peach, hidden among the leaves of the tall tree right above their heads.

/vvv/

Within a second, two bodies materialized out of thin air and crashed into the backyard of the palace, one of a half-dead humanoid animal and an unconscious human teenager. The enormous amount of Nen left in the Chimera Ant's body had transported the body there - instead of continuing to fuel a technique named Terpsichora - as soon as it felt that its soul was in another world. Pitou was saved from having to coexist with a certain human in his comparatively fragile body.

No one noticed the unusual event except for a 14-year-old prince with a burn scar on the left side of his face, Hakuryuu Ren.
