A/N: Just imagine Hiro and Kensei are talking in Japanese when they speak or at least for this chapter. Also to address the question asked by the user The Pr0: In Heroes, if you notice although Fhiro went back in time to change things, when he came back to the future he was unchanged. Everything else was slightly due to things that had happened differently due to his actions but he was the same. Therefore I draw the connection that the Future version of a person and the Past version of a person are unconnected (If they have Hiro's time travelling power) though thats just my opinion. Like always please read and review.

1671, Japan

When Hiro woke up he saw a fiercesome warrior glaring down upon him.

"You!" He yelled. "What are you doing here?!"

Hiro stared at the man for a few seconds before he was able to match name to face and realised that he was looking up at Takezo Kensei. Faced with such a historical figure, Hiro could barely speak but after almost a minute had passed he mustered up enough courage to stammer a few words.

"M-my name is Hiro and I have come from the future."

"Hiro?": Kensei asked, his tone softening slightly. "Hiro Nakamura?"

"Yes, that is my name," Hiro said with a hint of hesitance when he realised that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"Excellent," Kensei said. "I have been expecting you."

"You have?" Hiro asked.

"Yes," Kensei said. "I was told of your arrival three days ago. Unfortunately it appears that the Akuma Clan knew of your arrival as well."

"Akuma?"

Kensei nodded. "Their leader is a powerful man, rumour has it he can even control the shadows." Seeing the look of confusion on Hiro's face, Kensei carried on. "The Akuma Clan are plotting to kill the emperor... I can't allow that to happen."

Once again Hiro felt the strange feeling that he knew this man standing in front of him though he couldn't quite place his finger on where he knew him from. It wasn't made any easier by the fact that the man's helm was still on, covering most of his face.

"Yattah!" Hiro yelled as an idea came to mind.

"What?" Kensei asked.

Hiro closed his eyes tight and concentrated hard. When he opened his eyes again, the world had come to a halt.

"Sorry," Hiro said sincerely as he moved closer to Kensei and began to take off his helm. When he saw who it was he lost concentration and yelled in shock, dropping the helm to the ground.

"Father?"
