Shirou Takamichi frowned. Lately, a lot of strange incidents has been happening around Uminari. Strange explosions, sighting of mysterious figures and now this. A strange series of death has started happening around the city. Strange because the bodies that were found always has their blood sucked out of them, and the fact that the numbers of bodies at the scene never matches the clues laying about. Rumors has it that this was the work of something out of fiction, like a vampire.
He was worried. His youngest daughter, Nanoha, has been acting strange. He could feel that she was hiding something from him, and that new pet ferret of her is suspicious. But he decide not to confront her about it. He will wait until she tells him, and it's not like he has told her everything about his past.
Doesn't mean he has to sit around and wait for it though. Which is why here he is, clad in his old battle gear, a katana on his hips. It has been quite a while since he has worn these, since that incident that left him in the ICU. He don't want to worry his family like that time, but the thought of his adorable daughter being in danger drives him to take up the blade once more. He'd rather worry them then having to watch them hurt when he can stop it.
As he moves around the rooftop, he caught glimpse of movement across from him. Changing directions, he heads toward the two blurs. Suddenly, another one joins in the actions and after a while, all three dissapear. As Shirou lands on the building that they was last on, he crouchs down to observe the situation.
Below, in a rather desolated alleyway, stood three figures. From up here, he could see that one of them is wielding two swords and having red hair while the one opposite to him appears to wield a fruit knife of all things. The third figure, standing in the middle of the former two, doesn't have any weapons, but his appearance unverves Shirou. There was this abnormal feels about him, not to mention the bodies laying around his feets.
Suddenly, something strange happened. Some of the bodies began to rise again, like something out of a horror movies. The one in the middle appears to laugh and said something to the other two, before dissolving into a swarm of bats. The other two didn't react to the dissapearance, only moving to cut down the now revived bodies.
Throwing away any reservations of the situation, Shirou jumped down and cut one of the bodies in half. Now that he's on the ground, he can make out the two fighters.
They were both around the same age, and seems a bit older than Kyouya, his eldest child. Strangely, one of them already has grey hair, while the other has bandages covering his eyes. The white haired one appears to wear a white shirt, black pants and shoes, along with a black chest armor. He was also wielding a pair of Chinese blades, one white and the other black. The one with bandages wear a black gakuran uniform, with a brown jacket and dark blue scarf.
After they has killed the rest of the undead, the shinobi turn toward the other two. Warily, he point his blade at them.
"What is going on here? Who, no, what was that man? And is he the one responsible for the serial killings?"
The two shared a look, before the uniformed one put his knife away into his pocket, and
"Did your swords just dissapear into thin air?" He asks incredulously.
THe white haired one slowly step forward into the light. As his features became more and more distinguishable, the shinobi recognize the person in front of him. He appears older, his skins have tanned a litte, and his eyes has changed into a silvery amber, but Shirou Takamachi believe that this is Shirou Emiya, a young man who has worked at his store for a while.
"Hello Takamachi-senpai. Long time no see."
