I got this idea from a movie I heard (heard because I wasn't watching it, it was just on) and I thought yeah, I should make a story! Though it really doesn't follow the movie like that, mostly the plot of him being in another dimension I would say. The movie was Black Knight btw. A words of heads up though, for some reason I feel the characters are a bit out of character, but hey, I still think its good. Anyways, read on my readers, read on.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Black Knight

Hei jumped back as the boulder flew towards him. The giant rock crashed into the abandoned building beside him. The already weak foundation crumbled behind the blow, showering to the ground with its dust quickly. The contractor laughed as he took out his sword and swung voraciously at Hei; all he could do was dodge. The contractor led Hei onto the pile of rubble that had only moments before tumbled to Earth, and as Hei jumped away, right after he had pulled his own blade out of its holster to defend, he slipped on a loose brick. His blade landed away from him and he had no way of going for it. Hei's foe smiled maliciously as he advanced toward Hei, his body glowing blue as he touched the downed Black Reaper.

The sun rose up into the sky, its rays shining onto the village that lay just below the mountains. The roosters had already started their daily ritual, letting the villagers know that the day's start was upon them. One by one the villagers woke up. The men and their sons, all still tired from yesterday's hardship, opened the tool sheds and got to their specialized tasks. The women too got up, some going to the barn to collect fresh eggs and milk for the day and others going to the market for extra ingredients.

Mrs. Jo was on her way to the market. She had always taken the road less traveled since it allowed her the best of the first pickings. The old lady looked at the scenery around her as she walked, watching the squirrels running around the ground and climbing trees, and the trees blowing in the wind, when she spotted something peculiar. Being the meddlesome person she was, she immediately went to check it out. She walked over to the object, seeing first the black boot of the figure. The lady gasped and hurried over to the man, checking to see if he was okay. Based on the fact that his skin was still warm, and his pulse was still detectable, though just barely, she determined he was still alive. Mrs. Jo took the man back to her house, dragging him on the grassy trail.

The smell of burning wax hit Hei hard after he woke up inside of the dim room. Beside him the candle was burning to its max, trying with all its might to light the dark room. Hei took it upon himself to stand, but he found it hard to do so; his body was aching everywhere. As he finally got both his feet onto the floor, Mrs. Jo walked in, and the bed-sheet that had been covering him fell off. The old lady smiled.

"Boy, you need to sit down, relax." Hei grabbed the bed-sheet as Mrs. Jo walked over to him—her eyes just couldn't stay with his. "Come now, this'll help you." The cup was placed onto a small table.

"What am I doing here," asked Hei not touching the tea.

"I saw you passed out and took care of you. You were almost out… had I not found you, you probably would've died." Her smile was genuine, as far as Hei could tell, so he sat back on the bed and took the cup to his mouth. "I must say though, I think I put most of those wounds on you myself… you are way too heavy for a little woman such as myself to carry all alone." Hei said nothing to that. The atmosphere around here felt different…

"Where am I?" He had no recollection of what had occurred before the moment here, and he was pretty sure something was going on.

The woman's face went grave and she turned around from Hei. She seemed almost a different person. "You don't need to know. The less you know the better, now I want you to get out of here."

"What do you mean?"

"I told you, just don't stay here. It's too complicated." Hei stood up, feeling better from the remedy. He put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

"I wasn't planning on staying."

Hei walked out of the house. En route to the door, he noticed that the woman lived alone. She was poor; that much he could tell, but she was one of those people who enjoy life regardless. Mrs. Jo opened the door for Hei to walk out and he had made it out into the yard. No one was outside; it was dark and quiet.

"Now get going before…" Just as she was about to finish her sentence, a mass of soldiers had surrounded her and Hei. Hei instinctively went for his blade but it wasn't there. He silently cursed before he went to his backup plan, his electricity. Hei heard the soldiers talking to him, telling him to surrender, but he jumped to the first two, and electrocuted them. They gasped, but neither of them stepped back.

The king stood at the doorway, watching as his workers polished the silver and the gold they stored in the room. "Dad," said a voice behind him. He turned to see his daughter.

"What is it?"

"Is it true that the soldiers were sent out?"

"Yes, I believe there was suspicion of an outsider being housed with one of the villagers… you know that's a serious offense."

"Yes dad but you know they are dangerous, and the villagers are weary of them."

"That's not my problem. They should fear those with higher power." And that he believed to be the truth, if there was no fear then there'd be no order.

"Well if you're not going to do anything about it, then I will." The king watched as his daughter went down the stairs. He knew she was a leader, but the sympathy she felt for those below her was going to be her downfall. He wouldn't, no matter how much she wanted it, give her the throne if she continued like this. If anything, he would have to find the man to take over the throne, and make sure that that person and his daughter marry. That'd be the only way for him to leave the throne without a fight.

"Take him by force, as well as the woman." Mrs. Jo was shocked. Who had already found out that she had taken an outsider? She was careful, she was sure of that. She looked beside her and saw in the window, an old man, who she had caught with her eye before the curtains closed. She ran to her door and slammed it on the two oncoming soldiers. It had no affect because with their swords they slashed and kicked the door down. Mrs. Jo was pulled out of her abode, onto the sandy yard, where she was about to be handcuffed. Hei moved to her, placing his hands near her neck as if his hand was a sword. By now the other villagers had seen what had happened, most of them standing outside of their doors, or peeking out of windows.

"I'm not going to let you get in trouble for me," Hei whispered before walking with her to the soldiers. "I will kill her if you don't move."

"Do with her what you will, she betrayed the king the moment she took you in." said the soldier who had given the order before.

"Took me in? I forced her to take me. I would've killed her if she didn't accept." Hei watched the men's gestures; it would seem they were becoming skeptical.

"If you want, go ahead… because if it were up to me, all of them would be dead by now. Even better, I'll do it for you…" Hei stepped back as the soldier slowly walked up to him. These soldiers had nothing better to do but to slaughter innocent villagers. He took one more step back, Mrs. Jo whispering to him to let her go, so he can escape, but he wouldn't have that.

"Look," shouted a bystander, "something's coming." Over yonder, and coming up fast was what the villagers and soldiers knew as the Royal Carriage.

"Damn it," said the soldier before he took a step back. The horses neighed loudly as the chariot rider stopped them. The princess jumped out of the carriage and walked over to the mass surrounding the old woman's house.

"What is going on here?" She walked up to the soldiers, looking at each of their faces, but stopped on the outsider. He had dark eyes, eyes that enraptured her, and dark hair, and his clothes were odd compared to theirs. She shook herself of his enchantment, and looked at the one who had caused this trouble.

"Princess Misaki, I'm sorry that you had to come all the way out here…"

"Shut up Keigo, I know you're not sorry at all." Keigo gritted his teeth as he went back in line with the other soldiers. "Now, you sir," she said to Hei, "you need to come with us. Being that our kingdom is in this area, and you are in fact an outsider, we need to go through the necessary precautions." Hei stared at the princess and then looked back at Mrs. Jo. He let her go, gently putting her to the floor. She thanked the princess and with one silent look at Hei, she walked back into her house. "I'm glad that you agree. Put the cuffs on him."

"Princess, you can't possibly go alone with this man, he has powers, like us!" whispered a soldier.

"What? How is that possible? I thought dad found all of you guys?"

"Princess…"

"I'll take extra precautions. Now you guys get back to your barracks. I don't want to hear anything more about you scaring the villagers okay?"

Before she allowed the rider to go, she waited for the soldiers to disperse. Soon later, she was riding in the back with the outsider. He was looking out of the window, seemingly deep in thought. With a sigh, she closed her eyes and waited until they reached the castle.

King Naoyasu Kirihara threw his plate down onto the floor, news of his daughter's ludicrous actions once again making him angry. "Wait your highness, I received another bit of information that you'll find most useful." Naoyasu looked at the advisor. "It seems that he is just like our soldiers…"

"You mean…"

"Yes."

"But how? If they didn't join me they were killed, so how could he hide this long?"

"However way he did it, he did, but now Princess Misaki has decided to see what she could do with him."

"What do you mean? She's in there with a contractor, and you tell me now?"

"I'm sorry your highness. I'll be sure to make sure it doesn't happen again." The advisor bowed as the king left for Misaki.

"Okay now, how did you get here? I know that Mrs. Jo wouldn't do anything to hurt a fly, but nice enough to go against the law… maybe."

"Then why did you let her go if you knew?"

"Why in the world would I punish someone for looking out for someone? My dad does not understand but I do. Back to you now, do you really have those powers?" Hei looked at the princess and then at his hands; they were still cuffed.

"I do. But don't think that I'll become your foot soldier. I have things I need to do, and I can't do them here."

King Naoyasu ran up to his daughter's room, fearing for her safety. "What kind of things," Misaki asked when he entered. The scene was not at all anything that he thought it'd be; Hei was under the windowsill, leaning on the wall, talking to Misaki who was on her bed looking at him. "Hey dad…" she spoke as he hurried over to her.

"What are you doing with that outsider in your room?" Hei looked at the king, and his first impression of him was that he was one of those who had no idea what was going on. He looked confused, but the eyes of his advisor spoke volumes.

"Misaki, you know very well you need to send him to the dungeon, or to the soldiers to deal with him." The king turned to his advisor and issued for the foreigner to be taken away.

Hei stood up as they advanced toward him and broke his cuffs. "You could've broken out at any time?" She smiled at him, never leaving his eyes. "You are quite mysterious… who are you?" She ran to the window after him, but by the time she reached it, he was no longer able to be seen.

"Misaki, are you okay?" asked her dad. She nodded. "We'll see him again. If it takes these soldiers all week to find him we will." He was definitely one she wanted to see again.
