VISITOR FROM THE KNOWN WORLD
Love Hina is the property of Ken Akamatsu, The Slayers is the property of Hajime Kanzaka, except for Christopher Graves he is mine.
AUTHIR'S NOTES: Hello again everybody. This is my new story it's a crossover with Love Hina and The Slayers. It will take place after Keitaro and Naru fail the Tokyo U entrance exam in the anime. I want to tell you now that you won't see the regular cast of Slayers for certain reasons. If I put them in this after one day at the Hinata Apartments the city of Hianta will probably be destroyed. We all know what would happen Keitaro falls on Lina, Lina gets pissed and casts a Dragon Slave. Good reason not to have them in the story if you ask me. The Slayers character in the story is a character I made for The Slayers D20 RPG. Let us watch as he learns to live in another world and if he can ever return to his. Oh there is one character from the Slayers you will see from time to time, everyone's favorite Mazoku, Xellos. I can't say anymore because it's a secret.
CHAPTER ONE: A NEW RESIDENT! APPEARANCE OF THE SORCERER SWORDSMAN!
It is a beautiful day in the quiet city of Hinata. The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear. However a little more than an hour ago the sky went completely black for fiffteen minutes and then suddenly went clear again. No one knows the cause for it but it is mostly ignored by the citizens who continue on with their normal routine. On this day several of the residents of the Hinata Apartments are coming home from shoping. The two in question are Keitaro Urashima the manager of the Hinata Apartments and Shinobu Maehara the resident cook.
"So do you think we bought enough groceries to last awhile Shinobu?" asks Keitaro.
"We should unless we have a big party or Su gets too hungry sempai." says Shinobu as the two head back to the Hinata. At the same time a pair of men are running behind Keitaro and Shinobu with shouts of stop theives acompanying them. The two men run past them and in the process push Shinobu into the middle of the street where a car is heading straight for her. Keitaro can only watch in horror as the car is about to hit Shinobu until he sees a human shaped form run past him at great speed towards Shinobu. When the car passes by Keitaro is releaved to see Shinobu safe on the other side of the street in the arms of her rescuer.
"Hey miss you all right? You almost got killed." says a voice. Shinobu opens her eyes suprised but very glad she is alive.
"Yes I'm alright thank you for saving me." Shinobu says. She gets a good look at him her rescuer is a young man probably 16 or 17 years old. He is dressed in a tan shirt and pants with a hooded cape to match with a black belt about his waist on witch a sword hangs. He is rather handsome with short blue hair and red eyes.
"Not thanks needed I'm glad to help. Could you wait hear while I catch those two they should be taken to the proper athorities." he says. Shinobu just nods as he runs after the two theives. Within moments he catches up to the thieves and simply puts his hands toward them .
"Diem Wing!" he shouts as the thieves are suddenly surrounded by a sphere of energy and lifted above the ground.
"Alright you two your coming with me. Don't try escaping it's useless ok." he says with a smirk while the two thieves sit there speechless as he makes his way back to where he left Shinobu who has now been joined by Keitaro and is waiting to thank the person who saved her. Keitaro and Shinobu are to say the least suprised to see the two theives floating in mid-air inside of a sphere of energy.
"I'm back miss and I have those two thieves with me as well. Oh who's this man? Is he your brother or maybe your boyfriend." he says as Keitaro and Shinobu both blush a deep red.
"Did I say something wrong?" he says.
"No you see I'm not her brother or her boyfriend! I'm the manager of the apartments where she lives and we were just getting groceries, nothing more honest!" says Keitaro in a panicked tone.
"Oh, ok. I'm going to put these two on the ground now cause holding them like this can get tiring, so stand back." he says.
"Sure thing." says Keitaro as the man makes a gesture with his hands and the sphere around the theives disappears and they fall to the ground with a thud. The theives try to run away but they are stopped by the man who caught them as he has his sword pointed at their necks which convinces them that trying to escape would be a bad idea.
"Your going to sit right here and wait for the authorities to arrive aren't you?" he says to the theives with a gleam in his eyes.
"Yes sir!" the two thieves say in unison.
"Good boys I knew you'd listen to reason." he says as the police arive to take the thieves into custody.
"Thanks for catching those two young man you did a good job." says one of the officers as the thieves are cuffed and put into a patrol car.
"No problem. There wouldn't be a reward for catching them would there?" the young man asks.
"Sorry fraid not their just small time crooks not wanted men. Oh and son you shouldn't cosplay like that in public people will think your crazy." says the officer as he turns to leave.
"Cosplay? What's that? Do either of you know? Because I have no idea." he says to Shinobu and Keitaro as large sweatdrops appear on there foreheads from his stange question.
"You don't know what cospaly is?" Keitaro says unable to believe what he is hearing.
"No, not a clue. Should I know?" the young man says with a puzzled look on his face.
"I'll explain it to you later but for now can I ask you for your name. I want to proporly thank you for saving Shinobu." says Keitaro.
"I want to thank you again as well sir." says Shinobu.
"Well my name is Christopher Graves. It's a pleasure to meet you both." he says as he bows to them.
"It's good to meet you as well Christopher. Thank you for saving Shinobu I don't know how we can repay you." says Keitaro as he bows to Christopher.
"Yes please if their is anything we can do please let us know." says Shinobu.
"Actually there is a couple of things you could do." Christopher says.
"We'll help however we can. So go on and ask." Keitaro says with a smile.
"First off could you tell me where I can get some food, cause I haven't eaten in a couple of days." he says as his stomach lets out a monster growl.
"Why don't you come home with us and I'll treat you to a big meal. If that's ok with you sempai?" says Shinobu.
"Of course it's ok with me Shinobu. It's the least we could do for him after he saved you. So follow us ok." replies Keitaro.
"Thanks a lot. You're lifesavers, by the way I didn't get your names." he says.
"Sorry I forgot to give you our names. I'm Keitaro Urashima and this is Shinobu Maehara." says Keitaro as the three head for the Hinata. Along the way Keitaro explains what cosplay is to Christopher. Little do they realise they are being watched by someone from theroof of a building across the street from them.
"It seems as though things should become intresting very soon. Hehehehe." says the mysterious man before he teleports away.
"You mean people think that this is a costume?" Christopher says in a shocked tone.
"You mean it's not a costume." Keitaro says.
"No. This is how I always dress." Christopher says.
"Exactly where are you from anyway Christopher? If you don't mind telling us. Also how did you move so fast and make those thieves float in mid-air?" asks Keitaro.
"I'll tell you everything while we eat ok." says Christopher.
"Fair enough. We'll be at the Hinata shortly anyway." Keitaro says as they approach the stairs leading up to the apartments. It doesn't take long for the trio to reach the top of the stairs. When they lay eyes on the apartments Christopher is speechless as he stares at the old building.
"Well this is where we live. Welcome to the Hinata Apartments." says Keitaro.
"This is your home? There are inns where I come from that aren't this nice." Christopher says.
"Actually this place used to be an inn. But a few years ago my grandma turned it into an all girls dorm. Then she made me the manager. Well lets get you that meal we promised you." says Keitaro. When they enter the building Christopher notices Keitaro and Shinobu remove their shoes.
"Guess that must be a custom in this country. I'd better do like them." Christopher thinks to himself as he removes his boots and follows his two new friends into the kitchen were Shinobu starts preparing a meal for Christopher.
"Have a seat. I'll have something whipped up in no time." says Shinobu with a smile on her face.
"I can't thank you enough. I was so hungry I was thinking of eating my boots for awhile." Christopher says with a laugh as he sits at the table.
"So why don't you tell us about yourself?" asks Keitaro as he sits across from Christopher.
"Were to begin? Well for starters I'm not from your world, I came here by accident. I know it may sound crazy but bear with me." Christopher says as he pauses for a moment.
"Well I guess that would explain how you could move so fast and all." says Keitaro.
"Oh that. That was magic that let me do that. You see I'm a sorcerer swordsman." says Christopher.
"You mean magic is real!?" says Keitaro and Shinobu in unison.
"Yep. Where I come from it's pretty common. But apparently it's not here, judging from your reaction." replies Christopher.
"We're sorry. Please continue." says Keitaro in a very appologetic tone.
"Anyway I come from a world called the Known World. I was born in the country of Elmekia. I am a traveling sorcerer there. I make money doing all kinds of things from being a bodygaurd to a bounty hunter to exploreing old ruins for people. That's how I wond up here in your world. You see one day some priest came up to me and offered me a job. He wanted me to check out some old temple, so I took the job since I was pretty low on money at the time. So I went to the temple and made my way through all the traps and monsters that were within. When I reached the center of the temple I found this strange device. I also found the priest who hired me in the first place. Seems he could have made it their on his own. But when he reached out for the device it started to glow and we were washed in a bright light and the next thing I knew I was at the edge of some woods. So I made my way into your town, heard people shouting about some thieves and well you know the rest." Christopher says.
"Wow. You seem to be a very talented person. Learning magic and all." says Keitaro.
"Learning magic's no big deal really. Any body can learn it." replies Christopher.
"I'm so sorry you got stuck in our world Christopher. I hope you'll be able to return soon." says Shinobu with a tear in her eye.
"Don't apologize. It's not your fault I'm here. It's that priests fault. If I ever see him again he is gonna get it!" says Christopher as he makes a fist.
"So what kind of magic can you do?" asks Keitaro in an attempt to keep Christophers mind off the priest.
"What kind of magic can I do? Well I can do a lot of different kinds of magic but what I exceed at is Shamanist magic. I am also adept in Black magic and I know some White magic too." says Christopher as he notices Keitaro and Shinobu having clueless looks on their faces.
"Allow me to explain a little more in depth. Shamanist magic is magic that calls on power from the elements of nature like air, fire earth, and water. It also draws power from the astral or spirit plane. Black magic draws its power from negative emotions and aggressive feelings. It's mostly used for attacks and such but there are a few spells that cause curses and summon creatures. The strongest Black magic spells call power from the lords of the Mazoku." Now White magic draws power from the gods and is mostly used for healing and exorcisms. There are a few attack spells in White magic but are meant to harm creatures of darkness, like Mazoku or lesser demons as well as the undead. Do you understand a little better now?" says Christopher. Both Keitaro and Shinobu nod in response.
"If you specialize in Shamanist magic shouldn't you be called a shaman and not a sorcerer." says Shinobu as she prepares a plate for Christophers meal.
"Your very attentive Shinobu. I should be called a shaman but were I come from no matter the kind of magic one specializes in your usually called a sorcerer. Plus being called a sorcerer swordsman sounds cooler than shaman swordsman, don't you think." Christopher says with a laugh.
"I guess so. Well here is the meal I promised you so dig in." says Shinobu with a smile on her face as she sets the plate in front of Christopher.
"This looks delicious! I'm sure I'll enjoy it." says Chrisopher just before he starts eating and in no time he finishes the meal and asks for more which Shinobu is only too glad to get for him. In the end he eats what the residents of Hinata usually eat combined at one meal by himself. Which causes sweatdrops to form on both Keitaro and Shinobu's foreheads.
"That meal has to have been the best I've ever had. Even Dragon Cuisine couldn't compare to it. You are without a doubt a master chef Shinobu." says Christopher which causes Shinobu to blush.
"Thank you. Your words are too kind." says Shinobu as she bows.
"Thank you again for the meal. I was wondering if you could help me with a couple more things since I know nothing of your world?" says Christopher.
"Sure. What do you need." replies Keitaro.
"Well I have know where to stay and no source of income. Something tells me I can't find work as a sorcerer swordsman here." Christopher says.
"Sempai couldn't he stay here with us. I mean if the others aggree." says Shinobu.
"I suppose but it will be difficult to get them all to aggree. I think you could get a job working for my aunt in her teahouse." says Keitaro.
"Wow you'd do all that for me? You two are the best!" says Christopher as he hugs them both.
"The girls should be home before to long so why don't you get cleaned up. You can use the hot spring before the girls return ok." says Keitaro.
END CHAPTER 1
AUTHOR'S NOTES: So what did you think? Ending this chapter with Christopher going to use the hot springs could cause chaos in the next chapter. Can anyone guess the identity of the mysterious figure on the roof? If you can you win a cookie. Below is Christopher's profile. Which includes the spells he knows. Some of those spells are only in the Slayers D20 RPG or had the names changed some were not put in it at all but are from the manga and novels. Well that's all for now. So see you later, and remember to read and review.
