Arc 01:Battle against the immortals Disclaimer:I don't own any of the characters from Nasuverse(Tsukime,Fate/Stay night,Fate/Kaleid Liner etc. ). If I did,Illya would have been the fourth heroine.
Chapter 1:Meeting the Barthemeloi of the Clock Tower
Shirou Emiya is one of the most ordinary human beings in the planet,that's what atleast he,Shirou,believed. While it is true that he doesn't have any memories of his life before the age of seven due to a massive accident,he doesn't feel bothered by it too much. Why you ask? Because that accident which caused him to lose his memories were the reason he was able to meet his adoptive parents Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel von Einzbern. Finding Shirou almost half dead from the accident and with no prior memories of life,they had adopted him as their son and gifted him with a family. This gift,known as family,also included his beautiful,white haired sister-Illyasviel von Einzbern-a 13 year old in her final year of Elementary school and the two care-takers of the Emiya-Einzbern household(and probably Illya and Shirou's pseudo aunts/older sisters) Sella and Leysritt. Despite not being related by blood,the love he received from his new family was immense. Sometimes,he likes to think that they probably love him more than his orginal family ever did.
Kiritsugu,quite,softspoken and maybe a bit cold at times,was a father who would give Shirou the paternal love any father would give his son. Going fishing with him,fixing the car in the garage and having your usual father-son bonding time. Sure Kiritsugu was always awkward when he did those-but to Shirou the thought is what counts.
He found a mischievous mother in Irisviel,who would prank him and make fun of him every chance she would get but would give him an over abundance love maybe sometimes even more so than what she gave her real daughter. She would tease him about the girls in his class,make fun of his naivette and dense attitude but would comfort him whenever he was depressed. When he was first adopted into the family ,when he was devoid of his past memories-he couldn't sleep at night-a feeling of despair would sweep over him every time he closed his eyes. The one who would comfort him during those nights was his adoptive mother,Irisviel. She would sleep by his side and sing lullabies to him,lulling Shirou to sleep. Depsite how much of a tease she was,Irisviel's presence In his life was something Shirou considered to be his biggest blessing.
Contender to Irisviel as his biggest blessing in life was his beautiful adoptive sister Illyasviel. Illya,for short,she was a bundle of joy-always smiling and jolly. She was naïve just as he was and would make a fool out of herself one too many times. However,she was kind and compassionate and would cheer Shirou up with her very presence. She was Shirou's pride and joy and even though she doesn't know it-his first friend. After he lost his family and was adopted by the Emiya-Einzbern household,he was always lonely. Despite Kiritsugu and Irisviel's support,they still had their jobs to one who would alleviate Shirou of his loneliness during those times was always a three year old Illya. Asking him to play with her,asking him to help her study,asking him to make food for her,she would remove Shirou's loneliness just like that. She would make mistakes and get flustered easily but Shirou knew Illya was a person he could always rely on and he would be a person Illya could rely on as well. That was how much he cherished her. Illya was probably the main driving force behind the man known as Emiya Shirou we see today.
Sella and Leysritt. They were his mother's relatives who would take care of Shirou and Illya whenever Kiritsugu and Irisviel were out for work. Eventually,they would move in with them. Sella,the older of the two,was like a older sister to Shirou. Sure she was really strict with him-asking him to act like the oldest son of the household and not take her jobs from her,she would always give Shirou(which she will never admit). Shirou would sometimes even go to Sella for advice. While her advices weren't all that good but the fact that she was willing to spent hours on thinking up the right kind of advice to give Shirou was something he really found touching. She also helped him study,always saying how it was troublesome but doing it nonetheless. Despite her hard exterior and her constant misgivings and minunderstanding of his and Illya's relationship,she was family to Shirou as much as Illya.
Leysritt,Sella's younger sister and his mother's partner in crime in teasing Shirou. Although she too was supposed to take care of the house in absence of the family patriarch-matriarch,all Leysritt did was lounge around,eat and watch TV. Well and tease Illya and Shirou whenever she would get the chance. From teasing them about their close relationship as siblings to just bullying Shirou,she was a very mischievous middle sister of sorts. While Shirou wasn't as close to her as his other family members in terms of emotional closure and all,because Leysritte was hopeless at emotions and stuff,they were close in a different way which always involved Sella and Illya's wrath. Well,Leysritt would always coincidentally end up naked on top of Shirou and somehow everyone would end up witnessing it which often led upto Sella and Illya fuming,Irisviel taking snaps and Kiritsugu just holding the bridge of his nose dejectedly. While troubled by her antics,Leysritt was important to Shirou and Shirou is grateful to her for her weird antics that keeps everyone up and about.
All of them were his family. Albeit somewhat crazy,he liked to believe his family life was relatively ordinary. Spending everyday with his family,going to an ordinary school,having ordinary friends-enjoying his youth just as an ordinary highschooler would-this was Shirou's life.
Imagine his surprise,when his seemingly normal life had been turned upside down when he ended up trapped in a barrier of sorts as two individuals fought eachother with fists,weird lights and super powers.
The individuals in question were a girl just about his age,maybe a year or two older than him and a man seemingly in his mid twenties.
The girl looked like a foreigner-her skin was pale white. Her hair was a dark shade of brown and so were her irises. She wore a cream coloured overcoat with a red bow tie. She wore long boots that reached about her kneews. One of her hand bore a gauntlet while the other hand was holding a baton of sorts or was it a tonfa?
She looked injured. Cuts all over her body,her clothes torn at someplaces. There was also a massive cut along her left shoulder. It was deep,Shirou could tell with the amount of blood coming out. She was panting really hard however she relentless launched her attacks at the man infront of her.
The man was a handsome man. Tanned skin with brown hair with a cowboy hat. He was wearing the traditional cow-boy gear with a pistol in both hands. Shirou would've mistaken him for some cosplayer who loved the wild west if not for the fact that he was shooting real bullets at the younger girl.
W-what the hell is going on here?!
Shirou's mind was finding it difficult to register this surreal scene in his head.
"Maa.. maa.. little girl,"The man started,his voice lazy and disinterested. "No need to be so violent. I'm sure it's all a misunderstanding."
The girl scowled at the man.
"Shut up Vampire. I do not require your input on this matter. The fact that you're a vampire and one of the dead apostle ancesters warrants your death at my hands. "The girl seethed in rage.
The man sighed dejectedly. He looked at her with a look that says "Are you stupid or what?"
"That's why I don't like you nobles from the Mages Association. You guys are so stubborn,"The man complained. "Come on. Cut me some slack. I may be a vampire but I haven't done anything vampire like in a looonnnggg tiimmmeeeee. "
"Silence. Do not try to fool me. I know what you've done. And even in the unlikiest case that you are innocent,you are still a vampire. I shall exterminate you regardless. "The girl stated confidently. She readied her gauntlet and took a fighting stance.
"Geez now you're talking like a member of the church,"the man whined.
Shirou's could only stare,unable to follow their conversation.
Vampires?Mages?Church?What are the talking about?Is this a shooting of some film?But I don't see anyone here… besides the blood looks really realistic.
"Well… "The man readied his gun. "Don't say I didn't warn you girlie."
The girl charged at the man and thrust her gauntlet at him.
"I'm no girlie!I am Barthomeloi Lorelei,the heir to the prestigious Barthomeloi family. "The girl declared. Her gauntlet was right infront of the man.
Shirou was sure that the gauntlet would hit him in the face and leave the poor man a bloody mess. However,to his and the girl called Lorelei's surprise,the gauntlet completely missed the man.
No.
Shirou realized it.
He dodged it the instant it was about to him.
The man was now just standing beside Lorelei,his gun aimed at her.
"Hmm…Barthomeloi huh?"The man nodded,as if he understood something. "Now it make sense why you want to kill me but. . . . "
The man smirked devilishly.
"I'm pretty strong so don't blame me if you die missy."
Lorelei's eyes widened in surprise at the man's sudden presence beside her. Before she could move her body by even a millimeter,a blast of darkness engulfed her completely.
"Schwarze Zerstörung"
As soon as the words left his mouth,the blast of darkness was shot from the gun directly at Lorelei sending her to the ground with a massive explosion.
Shirou looked at the small crater at the direction of the attack. The girl was in the middle of it,blood dripping from the numerous cuts all over her body. Her breathing was ragged,her eyes were blank. She was possibly unconscious.
Shirou desperately wanted to go and help her. But he couldn't move. He was stuck in his place. Fear devouring him and his very soul,rooting him to the ground.
The man sighed as he put his gun away.
"Well that takes care of that. . . " the man muttered under his breath.
"Oi kid. . . "
Shirou froze. The man had seen him. He noticed he was there,watching them. He started sweating heavily. He'll probably kill him just like he killed the girl before. The fear of his impeding death making him stand motionlessly.
"You don't have to be on your guard. I won't hurt you. Why don't you go help her?You want to don't you?"The man smiled and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Shirou gulped nervously.
What was that about?
Well he wasn't complaining. At least he didn't kill him. He was satisfied with that.
More importantly. . . .
Shirou looked at the girl lying unconscious in the middle of the crater. He walked towards her and bent down to look at her wounds.
"The wounds. . . are quite deep. . . I need to get them treated. But where should I take her?The hospital won't do. They'll ask too many case if I took her to my house. "He muttered to himself.
Ah that's right.
He remembered.
The ideal place to take her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lorelei Barthomeloi was a proud individual. Being born to the the noble and great Barthomeloi family,she considered herself special. She was special rather. She was gifted with magic circuits that were the best in the world in terms of both quality and quantity. Her noble birth also made her very talented at magecraft. From a very early age,she excelled at magecraft and as such was hailed as a genius. Her potential for thaumaturgy was so great that she was compared with legends like Touko and Aoko Aozaki. As she grew,she became better and better at mage craft. Graduating from Atlast academy at a tender age of just 12,she became the youngest to ever do so. Dedicating herself to the Barthomeloi's at the clocktower,she spent her days as a magus busy in research and directing the clock tower as the aristocrats of the tower. She was the pride of the Barthomeloi,their "to-be-head" and is also rumoured to be the next Wizard Marshall,a title held by the one and the only Kishur Zeltrech Shweinorg.
Being a Barthomeloi herselg,Lorelei just like the others of her family was extremely prideful,took pride in their aristocracy and just like the others had an irrational hatred towards vampire. Lorelei's hatred however was even more intense than her relatives. She,herself, didn't know why she hated vampires as much as she does but she admits to the fact that hunting vampire is quite a pleasurable hobby.
However,this time it wasn't out of irrational fear. This time it wasn't because she found it pleasurable. This time it wasn't because she was just bored. This time it was for vengence.
She swore vengence on her dead brother's grave that she would avenge him by slaughtering the man who murdered him.
The man known as Stanrobe Calhin,a vampire and one of the dead apostle ancestors.
She felt ashamed that she was completely outclassed by him. She knew he was powerful but she was Lorelei Barthomeloi. She believed she could take him down single handedly. That was her mistake. Her rage filled mind clouded her when she would fight ancestor level opponents she would take her subordinates. As strong as she was,an ancestor level vampire was a force to be reckoned with. Even the weakest one,the sword of Akasha was quite formidable. Against one as powerful as Calhin,one would require an army and if that one was Lorelei she would require a team of specialist.
Yet her clouded judgement forced her to go alone and end up getting manhandled by the man. He wasn't even being serious with her.
She wanted to kill herself. Her foolishness had brought shame to the Barthomelois. She can not show her face infront of her family until she brings back Calhin's head.
That's right. She needed to recollect herself and go after Calhin once more.
With that in mind she opened her eyes,waking up from a deep slumber.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lorelei opened her eyes to be greeted by a wooden roof. She got herself up from bed. She winced as the pains from her previous battles started acting up . She looked at the place where she was. She was in a small room which in her view was that of a peasant. There was a small bed side table and a lamp on it. This small room made her feel nauseous. To think a member of the Barthomeloi had to stay in such a filthy room,it seems she had brought down the name of Barthomeloi down even deeper.
However,there was an important question in her mind that needed an answer.
Who brought me here?
She tried to get up from the bed and find out the answers to her question. Tha sudden movements of her limbs cause her wounds to pain once again as she fell on the bed.
"Don't try to get up. You're wounds are still fresh. Lay down and rest. "
She heard a voice from the door. She turned her head to the source of the voice. There was a male about 16-17 years of age,red haired and golden eyed standing infront of the door. He was carrying a tray with what looked like food on it.
She tried to get up only to fail. The male took a chair and sat down beside her bed,placing the tray on the near bedside table.
"When I found you,you were bleeding and unconscious. So I took you here and treated to your wounds .Oh and you don't have to worry. This place is safe. It belongs to my friend Issei. He says I can use it for as long as I need to. " The boy smiled at her.
For a moment,Lorelei was grateful. As disgusting as it is to be treated by a commoner and despite how nauseating it is to speak with one,she thought of expressing her gratitude since that boy did save her life even though he was just a commoner. She was just about to thank him for treating the wounds of a Barthomeloi(although she believed he should be thankful to even get to treat one) before she realized something. Under the sheets,she was wearing only a t-shirt and her white panties only. These weren't her clothes. . . . someone had to have changed her clothes. The only one that was present was him.
A man had just changed her clothes.
Probably viewed her naked body.
Probably oogled it.
Probably touched the body of the great Barthomeloi Lorelei.
Her face flushed a bright red. The embarassment making her throat parched. Rage clouding her mind.
I will KILL HIM.
"YOU MONGREL! YOU DARE TRY TO VIOLATE THE BODY OF LORELEI BARTHOMELOI! " She screamed at the boy.
The sudden outburst had shocked him and he backed away.
He threw his hands over his head,trying to calm her down.
"No no!I-I just treated your wounds!Your clothes were derenched in blood so it was hard to clean them. So I had to remove them!I closed my eyes with a blindfold when i changed your clothes!I didn't look or touch anything reallly!"The boy backed away trying to reason with her.
He really was being honest here. He truly didn't do anything no matter how tempting it was.
"SILENCE!"Lorelei roared. "I shall castrate you!A mere commener. . . tried to gaze upon my naked flesh. . H-how d-dare you!"She raged.
She moved her body with such speed that the man couldn't even see her movements. Her hands were on his throats ,ready to squeeze the life out of him.
"P-please!Don't move like that. You're going to hurt yours-"Before he could even finish the snetence,Lorelei groaned in pain.
"Guh!"
She fell on the bed,breathing heavily.
She knew she was wounded quite severely,but the severity of it was far beyond what she initially thought. At this rate,she was never going to be able to kill that damned vampire.
"Come on. . "The man tried to reason. "You're hurt. Rest now. If you want to punish me or whatever do it after you're injuries have healed. "The man smiled warmly at him.
For some reason,that warm smile made her face feel hot. She felt her cheeks reddening.
"Y-you are lucky I'm injuried. Other wise i'd have killed you. "Realising she was at the mercy of this man,she tucked herself inside the bed.
The man sighed. He finally got her to listen. He took some food from the tray and gave her to eat.
"Eat this. It'll help you feel better. "
The idea of eating commoner feed wasn't appealing to Lorelei but the fact that she needed food inorder to recuperate was something she understood. Swallowing her pride,she decided to eat what this commoner had to offer.
"Do not expect me to thank you for giving commoner feed as food to a Barthomeloi. "She reluctantly took the rice porridge from his hand as she began to slowly eat.
The man just smiled at her.
"Oh!I haven't introduced myself!"The man beamed at her.
"I am Shirou Emiya. It's a pleasure to meet you Lorelei-san. "
Shirou and Lorelei-this was a fateful encounter that would change their lives forever. As you can see Shirou's backstory is the same as that of Fate/Kaleid Liner just with the addition of the memory loss part and how he got adopted since it hasn't really addressed by the series at all. I plan to make Shirou stronger than his Fate counterparts though his magecraft will be similar to Shirou from Unlimited Blade Works with some additional tidbits here and there. On a side not,Miyu's brother from Fate/kaleid Liner is dead in this fanfiction and the reasons and events behind his death will explained much later on in the story. So this is just a heads up. For those who don't know,Lorelei and Stanrobe Calhin aren't Ocs but rather characters from Nasuverse. While they belong to the Tsukime franchise,they have been mentioned a lot in Fate/Grandorder and Lorelei even made a cameo appearance in Carnival phantasm. They were mentioned in the Type moon character data books and also in the prelude. If you want to know more about them,just visit type moon wikia and search their names. I plan to make it a Shirou X Lorelei and Shirou x harem fanfic. What I mean here is,Lorelei will be the main heroine-that is I plan to make her one. However,Shirou will have a harem. Well this is my initial plans however the likelihood of me getting side tracked by action-y stuffs is quite high so I can't say for sure. Weapon:Holy Mithril Gauntlet and Riding Crop. Note:She isn't "Queen of the Clocktower" or Wizard Marshall yet since I plan to make her younger than she originally is.

Author's note:And cut.
First Chapter done.
Honestly,I'm happy with this chapter. It's been a long time since I wrote a fanfic so it feels really great to actually write one.
So,the plot takes place in the Fate/Kaleid Liner Universe. As the name suggests,this is the Shirou(Illya's brother) route of the story. It'll tell us how Shirou is introduced to the world of magi through Lorelei and how he learns mage craft and all. On one side you have Shirou developing and on the other side you have the likes of Illya,Miyu,Rin and Luvia fighting the class cards. The stories take place side by side and Illya's side of Fate/Kaleid Liner is the same as canon until I decide to converge which will happen at a much later time. That being said I will not write the Illya part since it's the same as canon up until the convergence later on.
Read,review and tell me your thoughts on it. I plan to upload a second chapter soon so wait for it!Criticism is accepted so don't hold back on me. I'll appreciate criticism no matter how harsh it is.Bonus:
