Chapter 2 – Chosen
"There's no time to explain..Rin, take him to the house, now"
I couldn't believe what I was seeing, What were those things Shirou was holding, swords, black and white swords?
"Come on, let's go" said a woman in a red robe-like jacket.
"There's no time..let's go!"
************************************************************************************
"Hey, hey wait…wait up" I tried to stop her from dragging me away.
"Wh-What about Shirou?" I ask
"He'll be fine, he's a sorcerer after all"
"A what?" I couldn't understand the situation I was in.
Sorcerer...it was the first time I've ever heard that word being used so seriously, more importantly, does a sorcerer even exist..
"Could we just stop for minute, I'm getting tired." I said, as I was panting, and gasping for air, we were running for a while, I think we were nearly reaching the end of town.
"Wait, uhmm, I'm sorry, I hadn't introduced myself, I'm Masa-"
"Masato Hanzo, Age 15, Blood type O"
How the hell did this girl know my name, along with my blood type…even I don't know my own Blood type.
"How do you know my name?"
"Look, I'll explain everything later, right we need to get to the house" said the girl.
"Alright, but you could at least tell me your name." I guess if I'm running of with someone, might as well know her name.
"Fine..I'm Tohsaka Rin, happy now"
"Alright..let's go"
We went further than I expected, we reached a mansion overlooking the city, it seemed that no one else lived there.
"Okay, we got here, now tell me…why the heck was I brought here"
"Alright, already, geez"
"You were brought here because…you're a sorcerer"
"What? Okay, stop joking, seriously, why am I here" No way was I going to believe it.
"It's no joke Masato" Rin said, with a stern voice.
"How do you expect me to believe that I'm a sorcerer?"
What a joke, how can I be a sorcerer, I don't even know what sorcerers do.
"I don't…I actually expected this to happen, but please, trust me, if you don't...I'm afraid Shirou won't make it"
Darn, Shirou, we left him there with two men who could possibly kill him in thirty minutes. I guess I don't have much of a choice, I've got to trust her.
"Alright..suppose I'm a sorcerer, what can I do to help Shirou out" I said
"Well..you can summon someone to help you save Shirou...a servant"
"A...servant?..like an..assistant?"
"More or less, yeah."
"What will this servant do then?"
"I'll explain the details later, now if you'll just-"
"Wait, you're a sorcerer too, right Rin? So what do you need me for?"
"Well, you're right, but..you're a different kind of sorcerer, you were chosen." Rin said
"Chosen? Chosen by who?"
"The Holy Grail"
"The what?" I don't understand anything that's happening, sorcerers, the holy grail, what does it all mean.
"There's no time, let's go." Rin said, as she hurriedly pulled me to a room with what seems to be some kind of circle.
The place looked ominous, probably used for all sorts of sorcery.
"Place your hands on the magic circle"
"O-kay" I didn't know where this was all going, but I had to trust her, for Shirou's sake.
"Now, think of your deepest desires."
"I'm fifteen, my desires aren't that deep"
"Just..focus!" she seemed agitated so I shut myself up.
Focus..right, what is my desire..my parents?...my family?
"Alright, now what"
*Crash* "Aaahhhhhhhhhh"
Darn it…the armored man, he's here, but, he can't be here, that means Shirou..
"Alright kid, playtime's over, enough hide and seek…and just let me kill you!"
Darn, is this it, my final moments, my death because of a sword.
"Masato, focus!"
Focus? But I don't know what to do, she said something about summoning someone, but I don't know how.
"Alright, here goes"
I then closed my eyes and concentrated, I didn't know what to do so I pleaded, to whoever it was I were to summon.
"Please, help me, whoever you are, I..summon you"
"Too late kid, don't worry, it won't last long" Said the armored man as he was about to strike me with his sword.
*Flash*Clang*
A blinding light filled the room, as a man, with a long spear appeared before us.
"Servant Lancer is here" said the man.
"Tsk..lucky for you my master dislikes fights like this, I'll get you next time kid." said the armored man, as he disappeared in thin air.
"I-It's over?…wait, Rin!"
Rin was hit by the armored man, she wasn't wounded, but she appeared to be hurt.
"Rin, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, we need to check on Shirou."
We returned to the spot where we left Shirou, and saw him kneeling down, probably in pain.
"Shirou, what happened, where's the other servant"
"He ran off, darn, he really did a number on me" Shirou said, while grieving in pain.
"What are your orders, Master" said the magic circle man.
"Servant..Lancer?"
"Just Lancer would be nice."
"Okay..Lancer, could you carry Shirou up to his house please"
"Of course."
Lancer..Servant, what in the world did I get myself into.
