Long time no see all. I've run into some problems with life as a whole and updates will be few and FAR between. This may be a new story but I haven't given up on my others though if you want to take them off my hands feel free I've got far too much on my plate to swat you away from my stories should you wish to continue them in my stead. FEEL FREE PEOPLE! Though I'd at least like the courtesy of a PM incoming me of the decision. I've recently been on a Fate/stay night kick I can't seem to read enough of its fanfics and I feel way too many ideas burning up in my head and I want to get them all out onto a canvas so to speak. My stories for Kenichi have pretty much dried up in terms of ideas because of the manga recent turns but I WILL eventually finish those stories just…not in the near future…My apologies good readers.
Please be gentle this is my first venture into Fate fanfic I hope I can get the characters down right though.
Well without further ado
ON WITH THE SHOW!

"Trace…On!" his Magic Circuits lit up. His Od flowed through them down into the air beneath his hand. The wire frame of the object built itself from the prana provided and after the structure formed it began to fill in from the hand that held it. The metal pipe filled in as prana filled its framework and followed the blueprint its maker had envisioned. The prana duplicated the molecules of the steel down to the atom as it went, as the projection finished the caster gave a small smile. The entire process took less than a second.
"I'm getting faster." the boy happily said I placed the newly traced pipe onto the stone floor of the shed. "It used to take longer for me to even Reinforce and fail at that before Dad showed me what I was doing wrong." It was a bitter sweet memory for the young teenager.
Indeed the young not long before the Emiya patriarch had passed away he had seen Shirou practicing his magecraft, and realized the potentially fatal mistake he'd made in not thinking of the boy's magic circuits. He'd seen that they boy had magic circuits of his own, surprisingly high quality for one not born into a magus family, but was not using them which would cause them to wither and if and when they were finally activated would cause him pain along with a loss in prana efficiancy. Instead the boy was utilizing his own nerves as a method of channeling his Od, paramount to suicide if even one mistake was made.
Kiritsugu was not as concerned with the boy's death because he knew Avalon would prevent it but it could still cause irreparable harm to the boy. He'd then spent the next few weeks showing Shirou how to activate his circuits and coaching him on the basics: Reinforcement and its branches. Not long after Kiritsugu died leaving Shirou his home and enough money to live a modest life. Emiya Shirou was twelve years old.

A hill of swords…A boy climbed up the hill…As he passed the blades broke…One after the next…Till he reached the top…He reached for the golden light at the top of the hill…His fingers closed around the hilt…He pulled up…A flash of light.

Shirou woke sweating and panting. "That dream again…" His thoughts were on a dream he'd been having over the last few days. "A hill of swords…I was climbing a hill and when I passed the swords around me broke and fell to the ground…What does it mean?"
The high school student wondered. "And that last sword…why can I never remember what that last sword looks like. I grab it out of the hill and then…I wake up." He rolled out of his bed
"It's probably nothing." He said aloud more to convince himself than anything. After he got dressed he went to the kitchen to make breakfast for the hungry tiger that would no doubt come to eat him out of house and home.
"SHIROU! I'M HUNGRY WHERE'S BREAKFAST?" came the whiny voice of a grown woman who refused to grow up. "Right on time" Shirou sighed in defeat.
"Good morning sempai, do you need help preparing breakfast?" the voice of a girl a year younger than him, but far more mature than the whining tiger of Fuyuki city, from the same place in the dining room. "Also right on time" Shirou smiled at that.
"Ah, sure thing Sakura, I could use another pair of hands to make a meal that the Great Tiger of Fuyuki won't demolish in less time than it takes to blink." He said lightly teasing the elder of the two women in the room beyond.
"DON'T CALL ME TIGER!" boomed the voice of one Fujimura Taiga from the dining room. Shirou and Sakura shared a small laugh at the woman's expense.
"Poor Tiger gets grumpy when she's hungry. C'mon Sakura better not make her wait any longer she'll start gnawing on the table. "Shirou beckoned the girl into the kitchen while Fujimura simply pouted while mumbling about "Big meanie Shirou".

After they'd eaten, with Fujimura putting away more than twice what the other two had consumed, they left for school idly chatting on the way.
"Hey sempai are you ever going to rejoin the archery club?" Sakura asked innocently. "You don't have any other clubs and everyone in the club really misses you."
Fujimura's ears perked up at this and her face took on a cat like smile. One could almost see the pointed furry ears appear atop her head. "That's not a bad idea Sakura; yes you should seduce him back onto the team with your innocent charm." There was an aura beginning to grow around the tiger, "and since Shirou would be back on the team, HE'D BRING ME SNACKS FOR CLUB MEETINGS!" Her slowly growing aura suddenly exploded and you could almost see the image of a tiger superimposed in the air behind her.
Fujimura Taiga was the advisor for the archery club and was a bit saddened that she could no longer enjoy the snacks Shirou would occasionally bring to club meetings. Shirou sighed at the bold declaration of the woman's plan. "Sorry Sakura but it would get in the way of my job, and I'm pretty sure Shinji wouldn't be too happy to see me either."
Sakura suddenly looked very sad about something but the look was quickly replaced with a small pout. "Aww, but sempai?" she looked up at him with her dreaded Puppy Dog eyes. Shirou felt as though he'd been physically stabbed. He tried valiantly to look away from her gaze but he couldn't do it.
"Yo! Emiya, how are you doing?" His salvation, ironically, came in the form of one Matou Shinji, Sakura's decidedly less pleasant older brother. Fujimura pouted because she knew Shirou was about to cave in to Sakura's Puppy Dog eyes before Shinji had ruined it.
Shirou, all too happy for the distraction from Sakura's Puppy Dog stare, turned to face Shinji and somewhat forced a smile. "Hey Shinji, what did you need?" making a point to avoid looking at Sakura, missing her face change from pleading, to terrified, to neutral.
"Just wanted to say 'Good morning' to a friend and, oh." He'd noticed Sakura behind Shirou "There you are Sakura, I'd been wondering if you were going to make it to morning practice today." He leered at her waiting for her to respond.
Before she could say anything Fujimura, who had been quiet till now, jumped in. "Ah, that's my fault I saw her walking while I was on my way to Shirou's house and dragged her along to help Shirou make my breakfast!" She finished with a cheesy grin.
Shinji's leer faltered for a moment now that a teacher was within hearing range, "Ah Fujimura-sensei I didn't see you there…" Shinji said rather lamely. "Well I'm going back to practice I guess I'll see you there Sakura, Fujimura-sensei." and he beat a hasty retreat back to the archery field.
Shirou grimaced at Shinji's retreating back. "I don't want to be rude but that guy pisses me off sometimes." Shirou said a little angry.
Sakura smiled a bit "Nii-san isn't that bad once you get used to him Sempai…" She lied through her teeth.
Shirou sighed heavily "I know I shouldn't be quick to think this but maybe Shinji did something to her…I'll check to make sure." Shirou's circuits hummed quietly in the back of his mind "Trace…On."
Shirou fought back the urge to vomit as he traced the, as far as he knew, unaware Sakura and put a hand against the wall to steady him-self.
Sakura felt the small pulse of Od come from her crush and panicked internally. "Sempai is a magus! Oh no…What did he do? does he know about my…" Her thoughts trailed of as she saw Shirou turn pale and lean against the wall of the school. Her heart rate quickened and she paled a bit too.
Taiga not being magical of any sort simply saw Shirou and Sakura rapidly lose color from their face, and then saw Shirou lean against a wall for support. "Hey Shirou, Sakura are you two okay? You both look about ready to pass out. If you weren't feeling well you should have told me."
Both Shirou and Sakura had again forgotten about Taiga's presence and immediately tried to assure her that they would be fine but Taiga would have none of it. "No you two are going back home and getting rest. You both look ready to collapse."
Shirou and Sakura looked at each other warily. Shirou spoke up "Alright Fuji-nee. We'll go home but can you drive us back to my house I'm worried about Sakura being alone at home."
Sakura looked surprised but recovered "That's alright sempai I'll be fine." She said a bit too quickly.
Taiga looked between the two of them and narrowed her eyes "Nope, Shirou is right Sakura I don't want you home without someone to take care of you and that goes double for Mr. Hero over here." She said looking pointedly at Shirou. "So you're going to Shirou's house and making sure that both of you get rest and taken care of." She knew them both and that they would fuss over each other and in her head making them fuss over each other would be a good way to make sure they were being cared for…Poor deluded Taiga, she forgot that Sakura caves into whatever Shirou demands as the circumstance that he ask her of anything is few and far between and she'd like nothing better than to be helped and cared for by Shirou; if it were any other situation.
Sakura opened her mouth to argue but taiga was in her "protective mama tiger mode" and wasn't going to budge. Sakura sighed and resigned herself to a long discussion with Shirou.
Shirou was happy that plan had worked and now all he had to do was think of a way to help Sakura with those…THINGS inside her body. "Maybe the experiments I've been doing to reinforce a single aspect of an object…I could reinforce the "decay" of them and they'd just destroy themselves?" Shirou quickly lost himself in thought. As he and Sakura were dragged by the wrist to Fujimura Taiga's car.
Suddenly he was violently ripped from his thoughts by the sound of a car's tires beginning to burn against asphalt, then by the G-force of Fujimura Taiga's crazy driving. "SLOW DOWN FUJI-NEE!" his pleas for help fell on the deaf ears of a woman possessed by both her purpose and horrible, HORRIBLE driving ability.
