Disclaimer: I do not own Fate/Stay night and Highschool DxD and if I do own something, then that will be the story and maybe some minor OC on the future cuz I don' really like change the cast too much.
Ah...A dream... I'm having a dream right now... a very realistic dream... Though if i can i add maybe I'm not 'having' dream but instead 'watching' one...
Yeah I'm watching myself in a cave staring to a white haired girl
'He' start walking toward The white haired girl.
"No... please stop, Senpai...!"
The shadow grazes 'my' cheek. It should've cut through 'my' neck but the girl's scream made it miss.
"Ha...ahh..ha..." Grimaced the white haired girl ... Pained by the shadow action.
Clutching at herself, The girl fights against it. But instead dissappearing, the shadows just keep increasing its number
... But... 'my' body just shrug it off, knowing full well that it will kill him the moment ot hit him.
"Uh...Uhh...uhhh" Cried the white haired girl. Strange, why did i suddenly have an urge to protect the girl when i don't even know her.
"...No, senpai. I can't surpass it. Nee-san taught me, but I'm going to lose it. ...I wasn't strong. I'm a coward, a wimp, and a terrible person"
Ahh...This dream is really strange... Why did i suddenly have an urge to slap her and say that she's not that kind of person.
The 'me' take another step. The shadow lance graze his cheek. And just like before he just walk pass it like it's nothing.
"...No...Why are you coming, Senpai...!? I'll kill you if you come any closer"
Another step. He put his hand on his left shoulder.
"Why? Run. Please run, Senpai. Please take Nee-san and run...! You can forget about me...! I'll die here! I can die by myself...! I don't want you to see myself like this!." Shout the girl frantically.
The shadow's pressure just keep stronger and stronger. Yet, 'he' doesn't even stuttering and keep moving forward.
"Why aren't you listening to me...!? I won't hold back if you're going to come any closer. I'll kill you before you kill me..."
It's clear... the girl is panicking
Hmm...Weird, the 'me' seems to be talking but i can't hear anything... the only reason i know he's talking is because his mouth just move now
I'll save you is what he said when i looked at the movement of his mouth.
"...Are you still going on about that? ...Don't i can't be saved. No, i shouldn't be saved. I shouldn't lived."
Another step... The 'me' in here doesn't care what that girl said. All he think is all about how to save that girl.
"...!"
The shadow hit his stomach. But, then again he still keep walking forward.
"See, you saw that. This is how i am. I can't go back, and he's not going to let me go. And... even if i do go back... I've killed a lot of people. I'VE KILLED THEM, so please just stand back and run Senpai" Scream the girl to 'me'.
"..."
Hmm... i see. She can't back out now, she's trapped by her own crimes that she can't atone.
"... Of course. You took lives, so take responsibility, ! #$%" The 'me' said and strangely enough unlike last time i can hear his voice now well except for the last part.
'He' release the restraint on his arm.
...The moment he release the restraint, i could see that his face is becoming pale. But, he still move forward to the girl.
"Sen...pai"
"Yes. I don't know where the crime is, or heavy it is."
"...!" The shadows lance toward his body.
CLANK
But something make me wonder, why the lance didn't pierce his body? Instead it just slide off his body with a spark.
"But i'll protect you. I'll protect you from everything. It may be hypocrisy, but my ideal has always been to protect the one i love..." The boy said, with his eyes full of determination and hope.
Determination that he will protect her.
And hope that she will come back to her.
He still move forward without even considering what will happen to his body, while the shadows keep hitting him from any directions possible.
The girl is right in from of 'me' now.
"No... Senpai, your body's..."
"...Trace on" The boy said while the shadows just keep pounding him.
Suddenly, right after he said it he grab a dagger that just came out from thin air.
He raise it, he raise the dagger high while looking at the girl.
"Sen...pai"
"..." The boy didn't said anything. Instead he bring the dagger down.
"Is he going to kill her?" I thought in my mind.
Then...
"Let's go home, ! #$％. Cut your ties with him" And the dagger thrust itself into the heart of the girl.
Lastly the body of the girl is shining with a bright light...
(Scene Change)
Ah... the dream has come to an end, the dream about my past i guess... I found myself in a dark place... so dark that i can't even see my own body.
"Haa... The last time i know, only dying people watch themselves in their dream..." I chuckled at my thought... i can't believe i found dying is a funny thing. Damn maybe my mind has already screwed from using Archer's power too much. But... I don't found myself to care about in fact i don't even give a damn if I'm going to die like this since i know that after using that projection i will immediately die.
"Hey...boy...what are you doing here?" To my surpise i could hear voice... A man's voice.
"I don't know... wait to tell you the truth i don't even know where am I" I said... not facing the source of the voice.
"I see... then do you want to know?" The 'man' asked me with an hint of amusement on his tone of voice.
"...No...I don't think I want to know...but instead let me ask you one thing...Who are you?"
The voice chuckled when i ask him who he is... is it that funny when i ask him? Haa i guess i just found another weird person in my life, just what am I? A freak magnet?
"Haha...I'm sorry it's quite rude of me for not introducing my self first. My name Sirzech Gremory the current Lucifer and The Leader of four the great Maou" The man said with pride.
"Maou (Devil)...? Now I'm a bit loss..." I know I have met a lot of strange creature in my life but...Maou?
"Well, it's not surprising if a normal human doesn't know what a devil is. But, the important thing i want to ask is whether you want to live or not" Well without a doubt I AM a human but I'm not entirely normal though after joining the fourth Holy Grail War.
"If you said just now was true, does that mean I'm dead right now?" I asked, wondering about my current condition.
"Hmm...That's right just like you say you're are dead, boy. That's why i'm asking you whether you want to live or not" I imagine him nodding to himself when he say i'm dead.
"Ah...I see." Well, just like thought. I AM DEAD the moment I use Archer's arm, though it's surprising i could still talk when I'm dead. Heck, I guess I'm in River Styx right now.
"Hmm... You don't seem to surprised about it. Ah... Are you perhaps familiar with death?" Once again, I could sense that there's some amusement in his tone.
"Well... I did ONCE have died before. So, it's doesn't really matter since I knew that i will die...Soon or later." I said it with all honesty that i have in my heart. Well i mean I've been long dead if Toh... Toh-who? Weird, Why can't i remember her... She's supposedly important to me right? Anyway the point is that I'm saved that is whats important.
"Ha..hahahaha...You're really interesting you know? Anyway back to my question...Do you want to live?" The man asked me again but this time his voice is devoid of all emotion except... Seriousness.
I think for a moment... I want to live but for what purpose? I've lost everything... I could even barely remember my friend... All my friend who helped me in the Fourth Holy Grail War... And somehow... I have a feeling that I have forget someone REALLY important to me... Someone that makes me dump all my Ideal for her... But who...
"So...What do you think about my offer, Emiya Shirou-Kun?"
"Very well Sirzech-San... I did want to live but you must want me to do something for you in return right?" I replied. Well, i don't mean insulting but usually when someone offer you this much then that's mean they have other motive with them.
"That's it. I like you already... Hmm just like you said I DID want you to do something for me, What do you think?"
"What kind of favor?" I asked the self proclaimed Maou.
"Simple... I want you to protect someone, my sister. Her name is Rias Gremory... If you could swear to me that you could protect her then i will help to turn you alive again Deadman"
To protect huh? I really want to asked him a lot of things like from what I should protect her and what did she looks like. But, since this is once in a lifetime chance... I will not waste it.
"Agreed... As long I'm alive... This Emiya Shirou will Protect your sister with everything he got."
"Good... Then look at me and swear your oath" Replied The man. Right after he said those word, there's light suddenly enveloping my vision... It's not dark anymore...
I turn my body to the source of the voice and found myself staring to a man with a good build and strange clothes ... His hair is red, crimson red.
"With this oath... I, Emiya Shirou will protect Rias Gremory with everything I had" I swear my oath to him... an oath that will change my crazy life full of magic turn crazier with Devil, Angel, and Fallen Angel.
"Very well Emiya Shirou, I accept your oath" We form the geas with the oath. His voice change completely from before... Right now I could only sense Pride and Dignity in his voice."Though... I could only help you heal your arm so the wound you have before you die is still with you. Is that okay?"
"Don't worry Sirzech-San, that is more than enough for me." To tell you the truth I'm kinda worried... if it's only my hand that's healed then that means the wound I receive when fighting that bastard of a priest is still with me.
But that is more than enough. It's still more than enough if i could retain my life again. After all, it's not everyday that you could have a chance to escape death.
"Hmm... I expect nothing less from the one i chose... Very well, Good luck Emiya Shirou-kun." The man said before finally disappear from my view
And thus the world around me is enveloped by crimson light...
(Scene Change Shirou POV)
It was still afternoon, before the sunset I guess. At an unknown city I was stuttering as I walk aimlessly. My body is hurt like after being hit by a truck, my legs barely moves, my mind is blank, my throat is asking for water, my hand is numb, and even my vision is wavering. I still couldn't believe that I'm still alive in this state
"Gah...ahh...haa" Is the only thing that could come out from my mouth. Haa dammit even though I've escape death this time, my body is in a state that a normal human being could die just from walking. You may not believe it but yeah, every time i walk my body felt like it will fell apart. Should I blame Sirzech-San for this condition? No, I don't think I should... It's really ungrateful
But stll I have to admit though. Sirzech-San is keeping his promise, I could no longer felt steel in my body... But, oh well i guess it doesn't need that kind of effect to kill me in this state. My body feel so weak right now that even being hit by a normal kid is enough to sent me in a world of pain (No exaggerating guys), but strangely my body still move forward aimlessly.
"ARGHHH DAMMIT..." I frantically shout in my mind. There's no doubt about it, I already realize it that this body need to rest whether i like it or not. Knowing full well the situation, I quickly scanned the surrounding area. To my surprise, right now in the middle of the night I'm in a park. Alone without anyone else around.
"Good... at least I could rest my self without have to worry that someone is screaming at me when they look at my body." I happily thought in my mind. Well, if someone did see me then I guess I couldn't blame them when they look at my condition. I mean, just look at me. My clothes is tattered, my face is full of injury, and my body is wounded to the point I am like a dying person to any other people.
"Haa...I...need to rest..." I sat in the nearest bench that i could found.
"Alright...first of all I must find Sirzech-San little sister, Rias Gremory. But still, there's not much that i could do like this, I have to somehow heal myself or just go to hospital right now." I mutter quietly in my mind. I tried to look around the park."Weird, it's still afternoon. Why there's no people in this park...but still, i guess i shouldn't complain to much, after all it's more fortunate for me in this kind of situation." I lift my head and look at the sky "Hmm... it sure is beautiful... this scenery." Yeah... after all when I was a kid, I used to stare at the sky with... who? Now this is a problem... Why did i suddenly forget some of memories.
*SWOOSH*
Ah... I could hear the sound of the wind, it sure is peaceful around here huh.
*BA-DUMP* *BA-DUMP*
"What's this? I could feel that something bad is about happen... " Using Archer's technique, I reinforced my eye to the best that I can and quickly scanned the area again. To my surprise, in the near of a fountain. Two teenager is talking... a boy and a girl. But, what makes it confusing is that the boy is suddenly dumbfounded...
And then...
(Scene Change Reynare POV)
"Hey, Ise-kun." I called him seductively
"What is it, Yuuma-chan?" The boy replied. Haaa... I still can't believe I've waste my day just for this naive boy. But still, order is order. Azazel-sama said that this waste of a human could be threat to us because his Sacred Gear. But i wonder, maybe i should just play with him a little before I killed him. After all it's such a waste if I don't entertain myself after this BORING date.
"There is something I want to do to celebrate our first date. Can you listen to my wish?" I turned and approached him.
"HA...HAHAHA... just look at his a naive boy, just what do you think I'll do to you huh ? kiss you?" I laughed to my heart content in my heart, geez I guess pathetic human will always be pathetic human.
"Wh..what is the wish you want?" Sorry boy, but it's definitely not what you want right now.
"Would you die for me?" Is what I said to him with a BIG smile on my face. Don't worry boy this will be the last smile that you can see.
"…..Eh? That is...Huh? Sorry, can you repeat that again? I think there's something wrong with my ears." Ahahaha just look at his expression. I'm barely able to contain my laughter now Issei-kun
"Would you die for me?" I said it clear to him and of course, since I can't no longer contain my laughter this time. I was burst out laughing right now. Hmm I think maybe it's time to end this. Yeah, come to think about it I'm already tired of playing nice girl here
*FLAP*
I start flapping my black wing in front of him. Yeah, my black wing is my symbol as a Fallen Angel, My pride. My black feather is floating in the air and drop right in front of his feet. It's time to end this child's play. Because after all, he seem to be not useful anymore.
"It was fun. The short time I spent with you. It was like playing couple with a little child." I said in a very cold voice. I already changed my tone from a cute girl tone to my real tone. My mouth is definitely forming a very sadistic smile right now.
*BUZZ*
I start making my weapon. A spear, a spear that is made by light. After making such a loud noises, the spear is finally in my hand.
*STAB*
I threw my spear to his stomach and easy enough, it pierces right through it without any obstacle. Hah I can't believe he's still dumbfounded by my spear. Just realize it pathetic human, there's no way you could survive after being attacked by a spear of light like that. There's nothing you could do, except just accept it and die quickly.
"Sorry. You were a threat to us, so we decided to get rid of you early. If you want to hold a grudge, then hate the God who put the Sacred Gear inside you." I said while still approaching him.
"...Sacred...what?" Hmm... by the way he say it. I think i could conclude that he doesn't aware of his own power. No, he doesn't even know what a sacred gear is. But yeah, I have to admit that it's more fortunate to me if he doesn't knew about it. After all, if he doesn't know then there's no way he could fight back. Well i had enough playing with him so I guess I'm just gonna go back to HQ.
"Hmm... This feeling... could it be" Weird I could feel that I'm being watched...
I tried to to confirm my feeling. So, I look around the area and Just like I thought, There IS a witness who saw me. He was a human boy with his body full of wound, his clothes is tattered, and has a crimson hair.
"Well...at least try to run and make this fun for me Human"
"Da...mmit!" I cursed the fate as I try to move my leg. Shit! even though I've just escaped death recently, I can't believe what i just saw. A murderer. Yes, that is what I saw. But the crazy thing is that the killer is having a wing and throw some kind of spear to kill that boy earlier. I don't vate time to think I have to get out of here.
"Come on... move...MOVE!" I tried to command my body. Though the result is still the same. My body is not in the state to actually listen to my command. I mean even just moving a little is already hurt for me, so don't even think i could run in this kind of situation. I could only hope that she doesn't see me and if she did see me just hope she could give me a mercy.
"The boy over there... Where do you think you're going?" Crap She just ambush me from the sky by flying. She landed perfectly to the ground like an angel fall from the heaven. But this girl. No, this woman is dangerous. I just take a look at her a little and all my instinct has already screaming. My instinct tells me she's dangerous, my instinct tells me to run, my instinct tells me that she could kill me anytime she want.
"Should I fight? No, the right question is CAN I fight? She's going to kill me... She will not listen to reasoning... Yeah, she will definitely kill me" I take look at my opponent. And unfortunately, she's a veteran not amateur at all. That much I could tell just by looking at how she carries herself. "I don't have a choice here... i doesn't matter here if I couldn't fight... In the end I must fight her because if I'm not... Then the outcome is obvious." I calmed my self down by accepting that fact and try to observe her fighting style. "Alright... First of all, she uses a spear and it's likely a thrown weapon not really a melee weapon and the way the spear come out... it's like my Tracing magic" I quickly formulated some theories that could at least make her retreat because after all even though my hand didn't erode my mind anymore (According to Sirzech-san promise), in my current state my body definitely couldn't handle.
"What's wrong boy? To scared to move? Don't worry I'll make it painful as possible so just accept it okay?" Heh too bad woman, because just don't think I'll make it quite easy for you dammit.
"...Trace, on" I quickly chant the aria that I and Archer's always use. I could feel it, the Od in my body pumping itself. And thus come... The beautiful sword of white and black, the Yin and Yang, Kanshou and Bakuya is in my hand in a split second. Honestly. I don't know how long this body will last knowing full well that my capabilities is being restrained in this state. But, I still have to try. I don't want to waste someone's effort to revive me just so that I could die again, that's just ridiculous and of course I still have a promise with Sirzech-san
"Please just this once... I don't want to die. Not after I've come this far."
"Haa this is getting boring. So, please...JUST DIE FOR ME" She summons the spear of light and thrown it toward me. If it's my old self then without a doubt I die at this point without even know what to do.
BUT...
I quickly leap to my right and the spear just hit the empty spaces. I look at my opponent face. "Good, she's surprised it's time." Just like I anticipated. She definitely thinks that there will be no resistance. But, too bad for you because I'm not entirely a normal human in terms of ability thanks to Archer's arm
I frantically dash to my opponent. It's a gamble, yeah I know it's a gamble and more than that, I too realize that the odds is against me right now. But I'll have to do it, I mean it's still way better than just waiting for my death sentence. The women in front of me approach not to hurt or maim me... She's here to silent me. In other words, kill me
*SLASH* *SLASH*
"Ahh...Gah...haaa" I tried to slash my opponent and with a single jump she dodged all my attack.
"Hmm... Maybe I should change my opinion of you... you looked so harmless yet in the inside you were planning something huh?" Tch... now she has regain her composure. My chance now just reduce from 20% to 5%.
"But, you know what? I have enough of this child play so just let me end this silly fight. not to mention I have to prepare for the ritual to, so..." Pair of black wings came out of his back and...
*FLAP*
She's flying, she's flying in the sky... Wait... SHE'S FLYING ? I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT SHE HAS WING AT HER DISPOSAL!
Alright... First of all I have to calm down. It's asking for death if I fight when I'm still confused...
Breath in... Breath out...
Good, at least I'm a bit calmer now. Now let's first analyze this situation. With her looks, she is definitely a normal woman in her early twentieth or maybe even younger. But the problem is the wing... There's no way that a normal human could grow wings on its back. Is it just my illusion? No, I don't think it is. I mean how could she fly if those wings just my illusion, right?
Fine, then she is DEFINITELY not human. Then what is she? A familiar...? No... she looks exactly like a human should be (Except for the wings of course). I don't think that's some kind of familiar. Familiar usually take shape of a animal like a rat or a bat maybe? Anyway that doesn't matter right now. Then she is perhaps a Magus? Might be... Maybe those wings are somehow her Mystic Code? (To tell you the truth, I don't even know what a Mystic code is. I'm just using whatever words that came to my mind. Probably Archer's hand influence).
Oh man... Looks like she's not going to give me any more time to think.
"Good bye FOREVER" As soon as she finished the death sentence. She continuously firing me with a barrage of spear of light. Alright, this is just beyond ridiculous. Just what is she!? I tried to dodge it and yeah I could dodge it some few spear at the start. But... Fate sure is cruel.
*STAB* *STAB*
"Gahhh!" I grimaced in pain when two of her spear pierces both my left arm and leg. I dropped Kanshou that was in my left hand and the sword instantly dissipate into fragment of life and disappear.
"Haa...haa" I breath really hard after taking her attack... Ah that's it, it's the end. I'm going to die right now, without anyone to give me a second chance anymore. "You... just what are you?" I asked her and of course I don't expect her to answer it. I mean, why would she answer it anyway.
"Ridiculous, just why the hell should I tell you? Sorry kid if you want to blame something then blame fate because you're here when I'm doing my mission." See, she's not going to tell. Well it doesn't matter anyway since I'm going to die soon. Though, it's such a shame that I can't fulfill my promise with Sirzech-san.
"Bye now lowly human. Have a nice dream HAHAHA" How I wanted to wipe that big smile on her face. I might trade my life for power to wipe that smile
*FLAP*
Ah there she goes... she just leave me alone here, slowly but surely dying. It's weird you know... I usually didn't really care if I die since I already knew I should've died ten years ago...
*THUD*
I just fall to the ground and I might not be able to stand anymore.
Yeah that's right, Emiya Shirou should've died along with everyone else ten years ago because of a great fire in Fuyuki city. The 'me' right now is dead... long dead. Before destroying the Great Grail... before get attacked by Berserker... Before being impaled to death by Lancer. Emiya Shirou is no longer alive when being saved. So now, why am I so scared... I am scared that I'll die... I am scared because I can't fulfill my promise with her. My promise with the violet-haired girl that the name I couldn't even remember, I am SCARED... REALLY SCARED because I can't fulfill my promise that I will always STAND BESIDE her, PROTECT her, and LOVE her.
But... no...
No...
NO WAY!
I'M NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THIS. I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO DIE LIKE THIS. I STILL WANT TO SEE HER... TO MAKE HER SMILE... TO FULFILL MY PROMISE TO HER... TO EMBRACE HER... TO LOVE HER! THE LOVE SHE ALWAYS DESERVE FROM ME. THERE'S NO WAY I'M GOING TO DIE IN THE PLACE THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE IT IS WITHOUT EVEN SEE HER FOR THE LAST TIME AND TELL HER THAT I LOVE HER.
Please God, Maou or whoever you are... I don't want to die yet... I still want to see her... And even if I really am going to die... At the very least, please let me call her name for one last time. This is the only wish that I have left so please. PLEASE...
"Sa...kura..." Is that her name? I unconsciously called the name... The name of the girl I loved...
(Scene Change Issei POV)
Hyoudou Issei is my name. My parents and guys at school call me Ise. I'm a second year high school student who am currently experiencing the time of my youth. And one funny fact about me is that right now I'm dying...
"Sorry. You were a threat to us, so we decided to get rid of you early. If you want to hold a grudge, then hate the God who put the Sacred Gear inside you."
...Sacred...what?
*THUD*
My body fell to the ground... I looked at my stomach and surely there IS a hole even though I can't feel any pain. Still, with just one look I already knew it's fatal and will likely kill me. Also, at the same time my eyes were getting blurry.
Dammit. Are you serious ? Am I gonna die at this age? I haven't even lived half of my life yet! Ku…My consciousness starts to fade away while I was having such thought….. Oh yeah, I wonder what's going to happen at school tomorrow? Ah that's right I'm gonna die so why should I think about school. I wonder how people will react when they found out I have die... Well probably most of them didn't care since I have such a bad reputation. Oh but, will Matsuda and Motohama be shocked? Will they cry for me? Heck, not in a hundred years...
Ah that's right. Mum, Dad... I haven't done anything to please them yet….. Oh crap…..it's not going to be funny if they find those porn magazines I hid in different locations after I died. Haha...Why the heck am I only thinking of that kind of stuff when I'm dying…? I guess I really am a pervert to the core of my soul.
My hands…..can still move…I touched my stomach and brought it in front of me. It's red... the color of my blood is red... I was thinking if this probably just some bad dreams I have but the moment I touch my blood. I know, It's not a dream... it's real.
Then I started remembering her. The one who appeared in my head is this one girl. The president of the student council... The 'strict' glasses wearing beauty. Somehow even though her breast (breast is everything for me!) is not so big, I still found my self intoxicated by her as if I know that she's the one for me... Yeah right, too bad I don't believe ridiculous thing such as fate… But still if I was going to die, I wished it was inside the arms of a beautiful girl like that…..
Am I cheating on my girlfriend Yuuma-chan if I think like that? Heck, why should I care? that Yuuma-chan was the one who killed me... …But if I was going to die, I wanted to die after gropping Yuuma-chan's oppai…. Haha, my perverted illusion doesn't stop even before I die…... Aaah, my eyes are getting even more blurry…..
Is it finally the end…..? Damn, I've had a crappy life. I mean, look I haven't see real oppai yet... How could I let my self die like this.
"Hm... So, you're the one who get Rias attention huh?"
Suddenly, someone appeared in front of me, and she talks to me. I can't tell who it is, since my eyes are blurry. Though I don't really care about it. I mean look at me, I'm dying.
"This wound... If I look at it closely I guess this is likely because of an fallen angel. Right?"
Fallen angel? What's that? The only thing I know is that my girlfriend, Yuuma-chan is the one who want to kill me and I think she's human... Maybe.
"Anyway, since you are dying maybe I will just help you out... Your life that is. From now on... You will join the student council!"
Before I lost consciousness, I saw the figure of the girl I adore so much.
(Scene Change) (Souna POV)
"...This is really interesting" I said as I looked at my remaining Evil Pieces. "... 8 Pawn pieces... Now I understand why Rias is interested in this boy." I take a look again at the dying boy. "... Hyoudou Issei... I'll take you with me."
I use all my Pawn pieces to save this boy... Well, it's not really 'saving' because after this... the boy won't be 'human' anymore.
"So you were the on... Huh?" The red-haired newcomer said. She clearly looks confused though it doesn't surprise me if her reaction is like this...
"Sorry Rias, you're late" I said coolly. Ufufufu it sure is fun messing with this girl once in a while. Even though... She definitely not in the mood to play one right now.
"...Souna... Just what are you doing?" Uh-oh there's some steam coming out from her head.
"Just like you see. Sorry Rias, but the fast one get the prizes. From this moment forth this 'former' human is one of my peer." I took a glances at Hyoudou again before preparing the portal to transfer us both
"You... How dare you!? Don't tell me you've been stalling my activity all the time" The girl said, starting to lose herself. It's been a while since I could see her lose her temper so much like this... Just what is this boy's abilities? Now I'm curious.
"Calm down. I don't do all the time, just for the past few weeks since you're acting so suspicious. And look, here's is the result my friend." Too bad There's no mirror here or I could definitely see myself making such a big smile.
"Hmph!" Rias turn away from me... Maybe... Just maybe though I should apologize to her right now... No, I could do that later. The first priority now is that I should patch up Hyoudou before he die... If I don't do that fast enough, the injury might get worse than I anticipated.
"Well... Right now I have to patch up this boy first... I'll talk to you later." By using the portal, both of us disappear in front of her.
"I'll make you pay for this Souna!"
(Scene Change) (Rias POV)
"Argh... That Souna!" I walk away from the scene... Still depressed, I sit in the nearest bench that I could see.
"Geez... Even though I tried so hard to get him from spying AND stalling (Well actually it's Koneko and Yuuto who do all the job) him... DESPITE ALL OF THAT Souna is still the one who have him... Argh this is so depressing. Not just that... That wide grin on Sona... I'll trade anything just wipe it out from her." Still complaining about my failure. I look at the sky...
"Night sky sure is the best..." The sky sure is beautiful... Unlike in the Underworld, I could see a lot of star here. Not just that the wind also felt good to my body. This is definitely what I need to cool down.
*SWOOSH*
"Haa... Maybe I should just confront her tomorrow? Yeah I will definitely make her answer my question." With determination, I stand up from the bench until...
*RAIN*
"Geez Rain? Now of all times? This is seriously getting on my nerves now"... Just why of all times it has to rain NOW? Even though I still trying to cool down my self "Ahh whatever maybe I should just go home..." Right before I prepare The portal...
"Haa this is getting boring. So, please..." Hmm? Did I just hear a girl's voice? Weird... I don't really sense any human when I arrive here... "...JUST DIE FOR ME" Wait a minute... That last line just now is really disturbing... I quickly stand up and hid in the bush near the source of the voice...
What I could see really surprise me... I just see a fight between a Fallen Angel and a mere Human. That's right, it's a FIGHT between A FALLEN ANGEL against A MERE HUMAN not a slaughter that usually always happen, and this one human boy is actually fighting against her. That's not even what makes me surprised... The thing is that HE could even cornered the Fallen Angel... This is interesting. I might just lose a valuable servant just now but this mere Human boy could stand against a Fallen Angel. No matter how weak the Fallen is, it's still absurd to think that a human could still fight them.
"Ahh...Gah...haaa" Using a pair of swords, the boy tried to slash her. But, it's easily dodged by the Fallen... Now that I look more closely, the boy's injured. Tattered clothes, ragged breathing, and some scar in his body and yet he still remain strong against his enemy. This boy is certainly interesting... more interesting than that Hyoudou Issei.
"Hmm... Maybe I should change my opinion of you... you looked so harmless yet in the inside you were planning something huh?" Realizing her fault for underestimating her opponent. The fallen angel readied another spear and...
*FLAP*
Knowing that she could loss if the battle was delayed any longer. She use all advantage that she has over the boy and one of them is the wings... Wings that black in color and symbolize the 'stain' in her holiness as a former Angel.
*STAB* *STAB*
"Gahhh!" The boy grimace in pain as the spear pierce both his left arm and leg. It's such a pity, if only the Fallen Angel didn't use her wings... I think the boy could actually win this fight. I chuckle to myself, to think I could find another Human with this capability... I wonder what pieces should I use for this one. Maybe a Knight? Since he use swords or maybe Rook? Since It could strengthen his body to the limit. I don't even consider to use the Bishop and Pawns since for Bishop, I don't think he could use magic and for Pawns... Well I personally think he has lot more value than that.
"Haa...haa" There's no hope. He's going to die. "You... just what are you?" Hmm? Instead crying of begging for forgiveness this human boy could even still questioning the Fallen Angel.
*BA-DUMP* *BA-DUMP*
What's this? Am I excited? Is this really exciting for me? Just what is this feeling that I'm experiencing right now? Is it sadness since the boy there is going to die? Or is it excitement since I'm going to have a new Servant? And a capable Servant at this case? I don't know but one thing for sure I will make this human boy become my Servant... I won't let anyone get in my way anymore.
"Ridiculous, just why the hell should I tell you? Sorry kid if you want to blame something then blame fate because you're here when I'm doing my mission." Sorry Fallen but as much as I know God is dead in the last war. So, I don't think you can blame God for this. "Bye now lowly human. Have a nice dream HAHAHA" Yeah right, you just barely win just because you can fly and he was wounded. If he was fit to fight, I think you will be the facing the ground right now Fallen.
*FLAP*
The Fallen Angel fly away from the boy... Leaving him dying, all alone. Maybe I should have just show up and help him after all. But, then again if I help him earlier, I might not know that he was a great candidate to replace (And maybe even better) the boy Souna just stole from me. I might hate Souna a moment ago but now I'm really thankful to her because if it's not because of her... I don't think I could meet this boy.
*THUD*
He fell to the ground... And of course this is usually the end for another human. But luckily, I'm right here watching him and not to mention I'm also interested in his ability.
"Sa...kura..." The boy is muttering something. Sakura? Does he mean a Sakura tree? Why would he want to see a tree in the moment he is going to die? Then again, it might not a tree he was referring to. It sounded really funny if he really did was thinking of a tree before he die... Wait, Sakura? A name maybe? A girl's name?
He close his eyes. Probably he thinks that his fate has already sealed. Too bad for you because you're going to be my Servant. "Alright I think it's time for me to come out" And then I come out form my hiding to save him...
(Scene Change) (Shirou POV)
I close my eyes. If I'm going to die then at least I want it to be peaceful one. Not because of Lance wielding maniac who keep chasing me, not because the arm that is slowly killing me like a time bomb, or not because trying to do the impossible like an idiot... Wait, if I think about it. It's not peaceful at all. I mean I'm being killed by a woman I barely know. How is that a peaceful death? Now I wonder how is Sakura going? did she worried about me? Haha I can already picture her worried face... Or did she forget about me? She could be going out now with his new boyfriend... No I can't have doubt about her. After all I Trust her as my comrade... And my lover.
*TAP* *TAP*
I could hear some footstep sound... And it's getting closer. Who is it? Is it that woman?
Is she back to end my life? Wait... She supposedly use wings back there right? So I don't think she will get back to this place using foot.
"I see... You're definitely interesting one boy..." In cool manner, she keep approaching me. Just who is she? Don't tell me she's one of that girl's comrade... If she really is then what would she do to me? Heh... That's ridiculous question. Of course she's here to finish me off.
Ahh... My eyes just keep getting blurrier... Wow, now I don't really know what to say if I met up with Sirzech-san after this... Should I apologize? Yeah I definitely should apologize to him. After all, I can't fulfill my promise... Or should I be angry with him? Since I just revived to be killed again. Isn't that ridiculous, right? Haa... sorry Sakura that this man you love is so powerless
"Hmm...? Pawns? Not a Knight or a Rook?" A girl's voice? What is she blabbering about? Pawns... Knight... Rook? Is that the name of pieces that is used in chess play? And what does she mean by 'Not a Knight or Rook'? Is she talking about chess in front of a dying person? Alright... This is one weird situation I'm in before I die...
"Ehh? 8 Pawns? Ufufufu I guess my feelings really hit the mark this time" And here I am... While I found my self dying. there's someone here who keeps talking nonsense about a dying person. 8 Pawns? Is that all the Pawns? What does she mean when she said that her feelings hit the mark? Now this is just keep getting more confusing. Can you please just leave me alone... Am I wishing for a peaceful death is too much to ask for? Haa... I guess God really hates me now that I have make a contract with a Devil.
Urgh... Now I barely could even see anything... My vision is so unfocused.
"I have decide it... From now on, I'll take you up as my Servant!" And before I lose my consciousness... My eyes catch a glimpse of beautiful crimson haired woman...
Just another random ranting...
"Guhehehe everyone this AKS here coming with this story YAHOO!" AKS suddenly comes out from the door leading to Emiya residence and laugh like a monkey.
"I'M NOT A MONKEY!" Said the MONKEY with some unpleasant tone in his voice.
"IT'S NOT JUST 'UNPLEASANT'. I'M ANGRY DAMMIT." With the power of the Author. I'll shut your mouth for the rest of your life MONKEY.
"What the...? YOU ****ING BI***" And thus... with that the throne of power will be given to me... MEEEEE
"Who is he?" Shirou asked with a mixed expression of confused and concerns in his face.
"I don't know and I don't care either " A boy named Issei answer with some hint of uninterested behind his voice.
"Is that so? Well then it's probably for better if we just leave him be" Shirou state before turn himself to the door and leave the MONKEY.
"*******!" Still unable to talk back, the MONKEY beg for helps.
"Oh well, then see you next time people." And even Issei leave the MONKEY all alone.
"**** **** **" Heh since the useless monkey can't talk then I'll be the one who give the regards to all reader.
Then... this is AnimeAKS everyone thanks for reading this fic and I'm out.
