Chapter 1: Normal Days.

I woke up, it was the six in the morning sometimes I wonder how I can do this every morning. I made my bed and change into my school uniform, I walk out of my room and walked to the kitchen as it was my turn to make breakfast just to find my red haired little brother already there, really sometimes I think that boy need to relax more.

"Hey Shirou, today is my turn to make breakfast yesterday you go to bed late you should rest a little more" I said as I try to take him out the kitchen

"Good morning Edward" the little brat completely ignore me, well I will help him out so I won't be bored.

"Good morning little bro"

I answer back as I put an apron and began to help him out. In twenty minutes almost everything is done and I go to wake up our little sister who usually oversleep every day. I enter her room to found a little girl with silver hair still inside her bed, I sigh and began to shake him a little so she would get up. She open her eyes and I can't help but think she looks so cute.

"Ilya, time to wake up!" she began to get up

"Good morning Ed onii chan" she yawns

"How is your arm? She ask me as she touch my left arm.

I looked at the bandages of my left arm and while smiling I answer

"It's okay Ilya now get up breakfast is ready"

I go back to the kitchen and help Shirou put the table. Ilya came after a few minutes already changed and before we could eat a brown haired woman wearing a green dress with yellow and black strip shirt came running.

"Hey! Edward, Shirou I came for breakfast!" yells our guardian Fujimura Taiga.

"Fuji-nee, take a seat I will serve you" declares my little brother.

"Hey sis, what happened you usually come earlier?" I asked as she seats.

"Yeah Taiga, don't tell me you oversleep" says my little sister without mercy, well that's the better explanation.

"It's not my fault!" cries our guardian.

Sometime I can't believe she is my English teacher. Shirou bring her breakfast and she calms down we eat together after we finish Ilya and Shirou go ahead as I clean up the dishes Taiga wait for me. I finish in a flash and the two of us began to walk up to the school.

"Edward your arm is okay" again with my arm?

The reason I use bandages because I have a big scar on it, it happen ten years ago, a big fire destroy my and Shirou house, I was trying to escape the fire when I saw the little boy trapped under some rubble, I help him but while doing it I cut my arm with a rock and the heat of the fired didn't help, I manage to take Shirou out of the fire and we were rescued by the man that would later become our father, Emiya Kiritsugu. Both of us lose our families in that fire and that man adopt us. He is currently traveling with mom and leave us at the care of sis.

"I'm okay really"

"Sister is worried that's all" she looked at me with worried smile.

Really, I know that she is worried but I have already got over the scar in my arm. The only reason I hide it is so that people don't mess with my brother and to avoid the pity of others.

We kept walking till we arrive at the school, Ilya goes to the middle school section and she found with five other girls. On the other side I walk with Shirou and sis till the second floor, as Shirou goes to his classroom along with sis as she is his homeroom teacher.

I keep climbing the stairs to the third floor I turned to the left and enter the second classroom. The moment I entered I was greeted by one of the few true friends I have in the school, Hakuno Kishinami he had brown hair and was kind of a plain guy but after knowing him for a while he was a really good guy. At his side was girl with pink hair with twin tails tied with purple ribbons, her name was Tamamo she was a very cheerful girl that keep hugging him most of the day.

"Good day Hakuno" I said giving him a chance to slip through Tamamo´s arms.

"Hey, don't leave alone" said the pink haired girl trying to hug him again.

"Really man why don't you date her already" to see this every morning is annoying and she is pretty so I don't see the reason he shouldn't accept.

"That's why I tell him but he doesn't listen" Tamamo says as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"It's because you're too clingy!" Hakuno says trying to defend himself.

"I don't think that is much of a trouble, also man where are you going to find another girl that likes you like that"

"I agree with that"

We turned to see a short haired blonde, another of my few friends Leonardo Harway but Leo for his friend. Apparently he is the heir of a big company but came here to Fuyuki with his brother Julius just to learn about the real word or something like that I really didn't pay too much attention to him the first day.

"Not helping Leo"

"He is not supposed to do it" I said as Tamamo begin to drag Hakuno to her desk.

Both Leo and I ignore his pleas for help as we know that he really likes Tamamo but our friend is too stupid to realize. I greet Leo and as we walk to where Hakuno and Tamamo are sitting he told me something.

"Apparently there are many transferring students coming today" he says with a smile.

So transfer students? I don't really care, if they are good people I might be friend with them if not I don't mind what they do as long they don't bother me or my siblings, but knowing Shirou and all his "hero of Justice" crap he might not think like me. Really I know dad used to tell us stories about that when we were little, but that kid took them too seriously and that old man didn't seem to bother. If this cause troubles I'm definitely going to punch my dad when he comes back home. While I continue to walk I'm stopped by a hand grabbing the left sleeve of my school jacket, I turn and see a petit girl with pink short hair and yellow and blue eyes.

"Good morning Victoria" at my words she just nod, she is what you would call my childhood friend, her name Victoria Frankenstein. I meet her days after the fire, I don't really remember how but we became friends and we have been together since then. Sometimes Tamamo ask me if she is my girlfriend, I always tell her no our relationship is not like that. Ok maybe Hakuno isn't the only idiot. But is hard to know what she wants as she barely talks, she only speak more when we are alone and it's hard to ask those question in that situation. The bell ring and everybody take their seats as our homeroom teacher enter the classroom, he was a black haired man wearing glasses and a green suit, Kuzuki Soichirou also our teacher of Japanese history, even when he didn't speak much he was quite popular between the students because he is really a good teacher.

Kuzuki, greet us and then he confirm what Leo had told me he told that there would be transfer students, no that would be wrong according to Kuzuki they were already here they were four in total, two were entering our class and the other two were going to Shirou´s class I hope he don't cause any trouble.

Kuzuki give the two students waiting at the door a sing to enter, the moment both entered all order was lost. Both boys and girls began to yell, the girls were going all "Kyaaaa" about a long black haired guy. While the boys were all drooling and praising the beauty of a blond haired girl who had tied her hair with a red ribbon.

I looked at them, I looked at the guy and moment our meet it seemed as he was wary of me, that couldn't be possible right? Then I looked at the girl, she was really beautiful but she give me an air of arrogance, just like a person I knew and I didn't like one bit. Still, while I was looking at her I could felt the gaze of the other guy over me, no not only me he was glaring over all the boys that were looking at the girl besides him. Maybe they knew each other?

"Introduce yourselves" asked Kuzuki to the pair ignoring the chaos inside the room

"I'm Nero" said the girl very happy. So Nero uh? It doesn't sound much like a girly name.

"Lancelot" said the guy dryly, still more focused on the guys that were looking at Nero. Ok one the two are a couple and he is the jealous type or that guy is just crazy. I wonder, who are the ones that come were sent to Shirou´s classroom? Well if there isn't any trouble I'm going to know when I meet with him during lunch.

The classroom began to attack the two with questions, Nero didn't seem to mind but Lancelot appeared to hate anyone who asked him something. Well, Victoria didn't say anything, Hakuno was being asphyxiated by Tamamo so neither asked them anything the only one who dared to ask of the people I knew was Leo.

"You two aren't Japanese, from where did you come from" he asked with a faked smile, that was a defect that Leo needed to work on, maybe he tough it was a good way to gain other trust but the truth it freaks me out.

"Well I'm from Italy" answered Nero then she pointed at Lancelot "And he is from England just like the other two that came with us."

"I can answer on my own"

"Then you shouldn't that scary face every time someone ask you something"

I can't help but laugh, maybe the little girl isn't a bad person. In that moment I realize everyone in the classroom is looking at me and that Lancelot look at me with murderous eyes.

"Oh it seem you agree with me"

"Well I don't disagree, I also think that guy could be a little less stiff"

"Hahaha, you are an interesting guy. Okay I have decide it won't you become mine?"

At her words many guys of my classroom began to yell thing about how lucky I was, I really didn't see it that way. I don't know what this girl is talking about she might be a good person but I won't go along with everything she says.

"I refuse" I said as I look at her in the eyes. She seems shocked and before she could say anything else the rest of the boys in the classroom began to yell at me. I don't really care but I think I could have answered better. Kuzuki decide to calm the class and then assign the two of them their seats. I'm far from both of them, homeroom end like that and classes passed on without any troubles except that I'm sure that Nero keep looking at me until lunch. In that moment she left with Lancelot, I go to meet Shirou along with Victoria and Leo as Tamamo wanted to have lunch with Hakuno alone, I ignore his plead for help once again as I walked to the classroom of my little brother.

"Hey Shirou ready for lunch?" the moment called my eyes widen as I saw her talking with him.

"Nero?!" I called her with shock she turned and looked at me with a confused expression.

"Sorry I think you confuse with someone else" I looked at her and realize she was different, even when their hairstyle was the same she wore a blue ribbon also, the color of her eyes was different hers were green while Nero were yellow.

"Her name is Arturia, she came with another guy named Gawain from England" Shirou explained to me as I seat with Leo and Victoria.

"I'm Edward, Shirou´s older brother and this two are my friends Leo and Victoria"

"Nice to meet you, my name is Arturia Pendragon"

She along with Shirou sit with us and the five of us began to eat together, I really wanted to know about the resemblance she shared with Nero with I didn't know how to ask, lucky for me with my dear friend Leo at my side I didn't need to keep thinking about that as he asked Arturia on his own.

"Still you two resemble each other, are you two related?" asked Leo.

"No, I know Nero and we are friends with each other but we are not related"

"Sorry for the confusion" I said as I began to eat my lunch.

"Not at all I already used to it" she is so polite I wonder if Nero would be the same.

"As an apology you can have half of Shirou's lunch" I declare as my little brother began to complain.

"Hey don't offer my lunch as an apology!"

"I made it, while you were too busy taking my turn to make breakfast, so I can" I answer calmly as I continue to eat, I not the person to hold a grudge but Shirou do that almost every time is my turn so I think this is a way to get even. While we were talking Arturia began to laugh.

"No wonder, she took a liking to you."

"How did you…?"

"Before you came Lancelot came and told me about a boy who rejected Nero, after meeting you I assume you were the one"

"So it was him uh? Now tell what does she mean when she talk about becoming hers"

"A that, you see she is the heir of an important company in Italy so she had been traveling through the world while searching for people that could become her support inside the company"

So that was what she meant, now I really feel bad for saying no like that. It's not like knowing about it would change my answer.

"Tell me Arturia, had she found anyone yet?"

"No I think her way of asking is too sudden and people tend to misunderstand"

I stand up as I finished eating, I say goodbye to the other and began to walk away being followed by Victoria.

"Are… you alright?" She asked me with a low voice, good thing I already used to her voice I remember how I used to make her repeat whatever she said like a million times as I couldn't hear anything she said.

"Yeah sorry if I worry you" we began to climb the stair and as we do I felt as she was trying to ask me something. I get a feeling I know what she want to ask.

"Victoria, I just wanna get along with Nero I don't any intention of become her support but she seems a good girl so I think I must talk to her. Lancelot on the other hand I think the guy hate me for some reason."

"I …see Edu" she seemed relieved that the only occasion she called me like that and she is the only person I let to call me like that.

We entered the classroom and there we found Hakuno still in Tamamo´s arms sitting on their while she tries to feed him I face palm, this is getting ridiculous. I walked to my friend.

"Man, just say yes who know maybe because of the shock she would release you"

"No, I would never let go of him" Tamamo says with a cheerful smile. She would be cute if she weren't o clingy.

"Still Tamamo you should let him go, lunch break is almost over and neither of you had eat anything"

She glare at me was if saying that one more word would mean my death. Well I did what I could so he can't complain I already learn the hard way how scary that girl can be. In that moment Victoria come to the rescue.

" Ta… Tamamo-san I need some help" she said with a pleading voice.

"So cuuuuute"

Tamamo let go of Hakuno to help Victoria with an assignment she really don't need help with. She do this once in a while when she decides Hakuno has suffered enough and decides to help him. Taking this chance Hakuno eats his lunch at the speed of light before the bell rings.

Class began again and till the end of the end of the day nothing happens, I'm planning to talk with Nero before she go home but when I look for her she is no longer inside the classroom, I tried to get out so I can find her but when trying to pass through the door Lancelot block my path. This guy is really pissing me off.

"Move"

"You are going after her?"

"What if I do?"

"You reject her already" this guy make me look as if I had break up with her, for god's sake I just meet her this morning!

"That's not your business" I just want to clear a misunderstanding.

We look at each other, I want to talk to her so I can't lose time with this idiot. Weird why I'm so obsessed about talking to her, I just want to clear a misunderstanding right? I could wait till tomorrow, sadly my body and my mind seem to differ in that aspect I push Lancelot away and began to search for Nero, I found her near the entrance and I call her name with all my strength. She hears me and turns, she looked at me just to turn away and continue to walk away.

"Wait!"

"I don't have business with someone who reject me and now came crawling back" she said as she keeps walking.

"I don't came for that!" I yell with all my might

She seemed surprised, I don't know the reason my lungs are burning I run too fast. I can barely talk. So I need to speak fast.

"Then why did you come here?"

"I don't … pant…belong to anyone…pant…but if you're searching for a friend I will be one for you"

Nero completely stopped and turned to me. I used that time to regain my breath.

"I don't understand?"

"The way you asked is as if you were asking the other person to be your slave. Someone like that could never support you, you need to found equals and ask them like equals, ask their friendship first and then they would follow you!"

I don't know why I telling her this, but I believe it's the truth if she wants to find people who can support her she need to ask differently. I don't know if what is say made any sense but that's all I can do. To my surprise she smile at me, and walks till she is in front of me.

"Then I ask you again, would you be my friend?"

"I will"

"Before I forget, what is your name?"

"Edward" I answer as give her my hand which she shakes.

"Then see you tomorrow, Edward my Praetor" she says with a smile, I she really looks beautiful. So much I forgot to ask about what Praetor means.

She says goodbye and began to walk away, I sigh and said goodbye, I still don't understand why I did this but I'm too tired to think and when I turn I see both Shirou and Victoria running towards me. Shirou ask me what happened while Victoria look at me with a worried look, I explain what happened they calm down as we began to walk toward the middle school section to pick up Ilya and then walk home as Victoria leave near us.

Saber continue to walk as she felt her cheeks get warmer, every time she asked someone like that they would always reject her and then when knowing who she really is they come back begging to be part of her group. That boy had been the first one that had given her a different answer. The same answer she had tough when she decided to make that question she didn't want slaves at her side, she wanted equals people who would follow her because who she was not because of her position.

"Edward" – she said his name as she smile and continue to walk back home.
