Saber received the cellphone call from Shiro last week he called her in hopes of having company when he and his family went out. They apparently got invited to lunch to the Kotomine's house to which Arturia (Or saber as she was more commonly known) instantly denied the request. She shuttered she didn't need to run into that arrogant golden hair idiot. But unfortunally it turns out her…she won't call him friend and definitely not master! Kiritsugu yeah just his name. He found out and he used that damn curse he put on her! She was Arturia Pendragon the King of Knights! Saber one of the most powerful classes! However she was powerless to Kiritusugu's magecraft as he when she was indisposed Kiritsugu placed a curse on her planted some Command Seals on her. Not like practical command seals these seals made her bent to his will but where implanted on her! They also seemed limitless.
So when she felt the familiar tingle on her upper back as the command seal took effect she was now in front of the Emiya household. Knocking on the door she was greeted by her good friend Irisviel who looked elated to see her.
"Saber! Oh it's so great you decided to join us!" as the white haired woman hugged her Saber felt her eyebrow twitch. I'm here because of your magecraft though a good magus Kiritsugu did not have the full complement of his crest. Though if she remembered correctly Irisviel was petinioning to have his full crest implanted on him. Though he told her it wasn't necessary Irisviel wanted Illay to inherit the crest. That lack of crest on his part meant she was the biggest help on making these cursed Command seals on her back. Now to his amusement Kiritsugu liked to every now and then use them on her.
"Yes my decision indeed" she rolled her eyes and Irisviel only grinned winking at her. She did her share of commanding on her. Saber blushed when she entered the Emiya home as she found Kiritsugu in his 'work clothes' his black trench coat grey dress shirt and grey vest and pants. When he saw her he gave her that look. It was that look that he got whenever he felt like teasing her. A pull back of his lips his dark eyes with a glint of smugness looked at her. She blushed as he stared at her in that manner and she felt Irisviel's hands on her shoulders her thumbs rubbing slow circles on her shoulders to add to Kiritsugu's look. No not again! You fool me once shame on me but not twice! Saber was determine to not fall for their tricks again.
"Hello Saber-chan" Kiritsugu smirked and Saber huffed at the Japanese add on to her name.
"Y-yeah hey Kiritsugu, Shirou, Illya and, you as well Kuro" Saber gave a short bow.
"Ah well now that we are all here let's head over Claudia-san's home!" Irisviel for one was excited to visit the Kotomine home. Shiro just dreaded Caren, Illay and, Kuro where already planning on how to keep their 'oni-chan's' attention from the Kotomine daughter. Everything set Sella and Leysritt waved goodbye to their masters as they piled into the family's Ashton Martin and drove to the Kotomine home. The home was rather big something a man on a priest salary couldn't possibly have! But that was alright considering It was from Caludia's family who apparently where quite wealthy and so they were given this lovely home in the Japanese style of old. Complete with sliding doors a very serene stone garden and koi pond. Even some hot spring baths natural off course from where the house was built on. The ride was relatively…well Irisviel drove so Saber was used to it but Shirou and Kuro where still pale with fear as Irisviel swerved and drifted through the streets. The back sit consisted of Saber looking out the window calmly as everything swerved and passed by with the occasional bystander cursing at them. Kuro next to saber who clung to Shirou for dear life the young man himself holding the safety handle with knuckle white grip. At the front the slightly embarrassed Illay sat on Kiritsugu's lap feeling the odd bumps on his coat. They were his tools and Illay for her part didn't want to know what he meant by that as her mother described Kiritsugu's work involved cleaning up. Still she relaxed as best she could considering her mother's driving but Kiritsugu held a comftarble arm wrapped around her small waist holding her in place. Arriving to their destination they parked outside the compound a few by standards whistling at the sleek Ashton Martin and the beautiful women stepping out of it. But off course any of the more bold on lookers that were about to step up to the beauties quickly stepped back from the cold unfeeling glare of the man in the trench coat and the fiery glare of the red head youth. Pressing the doorbell button Kiritsugu pushed everyone back and after a few seconds he moved his head to the side as a long blade penetrated the door. Everyone except Irsviel jumped back. A deep voice form the other side spoke up.
"Did I get him?" it asked. Kiritsugu responded.
"Not even close" quick as lighting he reached into his coat and drew his custom made Thomspson CONTENDER and fired off a special Origin round into the door. The people quickly ran and the Emiya family quickly gaped at Kiritsugu except Irisviel offcourse as she smiled happily just humming to herself.
"You alive?" Kiritsugu asked the now damaged door opened and they were greeted by Kirei Kotomine who offered this smile that almost seemed practiced.
"Ah perhaps next time…Kiritsugu Emiya" he extended his hand Kiritsugu quickly sent a reinforcement spell to his own hand and shook Kirei's hand. Both men gave these practiced smiled at each other and one could almost swear they were crushing their hands the Emiya family sweatdrop…except Irisviel who merely bowed and greeted their host.
"Ah good afternoon Kirei-san" she smiled. Saber waved lamely just taking the oddness of her cohorts like any other day. The children all bowed but their faces only held a grimace that this was going to be a long visit.
"Ah afternoon Irisviel-san please come in Claudia has prepared quite the meal for us" the smile he gave this time seemed more sincere but only managed to look terrifying to the young teens as they entered the home with some trepidation. Shoes off they walked through the Kotomine home until they entered a room with a table plenty of food set out and two lovely women sitting at the table. Rather one a grown woman Kirei's wife Claudia Hosteen-Kotonime and Caren Hosteen-Kotomine the younger girl and daughter. The older woman had pale skin like a doll white hair not unlike Irisviel's and golden green eyes with a kind smile her daughter almost a spitting image of her. Claudia had once been a sickly woman with an immune deficiency but thanks to Kirei's father Risei Kotomine who had a friend who had high connections with The Mages association. Tokiomi Tohsaka a family friend and the best healer magi treated her into fixing the essentially genetic defect. Their daughter had thankfully been spared the genetic defect as she had seemed to have received the effects of the healing magecraft as Claudia's treatment happened when she was pregnant with Caren. Now the woman was a very joyful mother and wife to the two loves of her life. In fact her new found love for life often seemed to leave her ignoring her husband and daughters rather…sadistic pursuits.
From Kirei's unhealthy obsession with Kiritsugu to Caren's unhealthy obsession of getting Shirou to like her…while simultaneously causing him as much bad luck as possible. The woman seemed aloof to these traits but when Kiritsugu Emiay seemed fixated on killing Kirei and Shirou just trying to survive Caren's affection Irisviel took it…like she takes everything else in stride. Saber herself at this point felt her mind like when she was at war desensitized about the abnormal behavior of her friends and just went with it. These attitudes often made the young teens wonder if their family was insane but then again they seemed to be just as accepting and their own sanity was in question to them.
"Ah Irsiviel-san! Welcome to you as well Kiritsugu-kun! Please, please sit! Let us eat while the food is warm" Claudia clapped her hands and the guest along with Kirei took their seats. But before they could eat the sliding door opened and Saber a noise that seemed between a sigh and grunt. As the golden haired man in the doorway fixed his red eyes on her with a shit eating grin on his face.
"What's this? You where you planning on eating without me? As your king I am appalled" he said as he walked in uninvited and sat himself next to Kirei.
"Ah Gil-san sorry I didn't think you'd wish to join us but yes please enjoy" Claudia again aloof to the whole situation just accepted it. Gilgamish was Arturia's bane the man would not give up his pursuit of her! Sometimes she wondered if god had something against her cursed with that golden arrogant fool after her and then there was Irisviel and Kiritsugu and their….no! She would not dignify that with thoughts. She blushed and concentrated on eating the very good food!
"Ah Claudia-san you outdid yourself this is very delicious! More please!" Saber instantly switched her entire demeanor as she smiled rather cutely in Kiritsugu's opinion and asked for seconds. The Magus Killer chuckled and returned to the conversation he was having with his wife and the occasional glaring contest hidden behind smiles he was having with Kirei. Gilgamish only seemed to have eyes for Saber who was all but ignoring him the food holding all her attention. Shirou meanwhile was trying to eat with Caren clinging to his right arm and sending a smug look to Illya who clung to his other arm and Kuro leaning over glaring daggers at Caren. It's hard to eat like this thought Shirou with a rather nervous smile. Seeming to read his mind Caren picked up some food releasing his arm and lifted it to his mouth and she opened her own mouth as to persuade him going.
"Ahh" Illay gaped angry and quickly grabbed some food as well. Shirou opened his mouth to say he could eat himself when Illya shoved the food in his mouth nearly making him choke.
"Ah Shiro please watch out it would be so unfortunate to see you choke your hands clawing at your throat for breath as you turn purple and choke on your own spit" Clauda blushed as she described his death Shirou only felt himself grow paler with a frighten faced. Caren blushed her face in ecstasy describing his death. Simultaniously she shoved more food on his mouth Claudia smiled saying.
"ah how cute look Irisviel-san we might have a wedding if Caren and Shirou keep getting this close no?" she smiled ignoring or perhaps unaware at the desperate faceof Shirou as both Caren and Illay and Kuro who tried to shove food and drink down his throat. Kiritsugu looked for help to his parent's but Irisviel was on full steam talking about a wedding between him and Caren with Claudia while the two husbands smiled at each other unbeknownst to them under the table Kiritsugu pointed his CONTENDER at Kirei. The executioner had a black key extended and ready to fling under the table at Kiritsugu. So the meal continued by the end of it Shiro was on his back dazed and feeling sick to his stomach from the abuse of food. While Caren watched with that same ecstasy filled look as she described him dying from drowning on his own throw up. Kuro and Illya at this poit where pale and stopped eating feeling their own bile rise from Caren's description. Eating done the two families moved to the living room where they enjoyed more conversation. Rather Claudia and Irsviel talked Kuro and Illya traded threats with Caren while playing tug of war with Shirou's arms who kept wishing he wasn't there. Saber meanwhile was trying very hard not to summon Excalibur as Gilgamish kept staring at her blatantly undressing her with his eyes. Kiritsugu seemed to be having a civil conversation with Kirei. Well aside from the fact Kiritsugu was pointing a gun at Kirei and the executor had three black keys drawn aiming for Kiritsugus neck. Luckily the evening seemed to end without incident…well if you do not count the destroyed furniture with three black keys sticking out of it and the opposite couch destroyed by gun fire that again the two loving wives ignored…or where oblivious at this point they seemed to be one in the same. The two families decided to play board game a classic monopoly. Kiritsugu seemed to have teamed up with his wife and Caren and Kirei teamed up themselves Claudia seemed this independent monopoly controlling her corner of the board. The teens scrambling to pay and keep some money against the titanic force of the adults.
"I think this game is long past friendly" Shirou murmured as he watched his father with a rather satisfied grin buy out one of Kirei's propertie's. The executor was giving a rather cool glare to his counterpart one hand casually in his pocket no doubt fingering a black key. Kiritsugu not so subtly had his hand in his coat and Shirou felt he'd have to dive to knock Illya and Kuro down from fight that he was sure would explode out.
"Oh come on! Jail again!" Kuro complained picking a go to jail card from the pile. Caren giving a smirk in her direction flaunting her money in her direction. The bank being Illya was for one watching the events play out as she held to what little money she had left. But though she thought herself clever he knew she had been plotting against Caren from the first dice throw. A few turns later Shirou was in debt to Irisviel who was thinking of ways for him to pay off his debt all of them involved some crazy idea or other. Though he did like the one where he got to ride a horse wearing armour. Saber was less enthusiastic about she had opted to sit out the game but remained sandwiched between Kiritsugu and Irisviel. Though she felt their hands that they subtly gave her fleeting touches and made her blush. Saber decided it was the lesser evil as Gilgamish who did play and was bankrupt in the first four turns as he spend his money freely.
"Hah! My riches are endless Babylon's treasure are as vast as the sea!" he boasted a sore loser who Kirei had to use his own command seals to stop him from destroying the house in a fit of rage. A good waste of four command seals in Kirei's opinion but he did not want his home destroyed. Considering it would not be his hand that ended Kiritsugu he made sure Gilgamish was properly stopped and sedated with some promise of good wine to be had from Claudia's family that had quite the superb vintage.
"We might win this in no time Iri" Kiritsugu commented and reached across to place his hand on his wife's shoulder but not before brushing saber who sent a glare at him blushing as she did so only making him smirk. Irisviel only hugged Saber proclaiming she looked cute when blushing Shirou shaking his head his parents where too immature and transparent sometimes. The game ended with the surprising winner being Claudia who ended up banking from everyone. With that done she offered everyone to use the hot springs. Saber declined saying she would go alone and last a wise move that got a pout from Irisviel and a indifferent shrug with Kiritsugu who did not use his command Seals on her. No he liked to use his own skills to lead her to do. No! she will not entertain the thought! She was fooled once not again Kiritsugu nor Irisviel would get the better of her this time she was certain. As such she was pleased with herself as she sat by herself enjoying the orange tinted sky as the sun set. Until a certain golden haired heroic spirit joined her and she was forced to deal with his tries to get her to marry him.
The bath cleared and after making sure Gilgamish was properly indisposed off she told him she'd give him a kiss goodnight if he stayed in his room obediently.
"I am the king of kings and do not take orders from anyone…however I will allow your request and allow you to be graced by my lips" he arrogantly said which she knew was his long winded way of saying okay. So in the middle of the hot springs she enjoyed her bath in peace. Her muscles relaxed and she felt the heat bring a blush to her face. Sighing happily nothing could ruin this
"Here allow me" a deep low voice said and Saber felt a strong pair of familiar hands on her bare shoulders apply light pressure sending a nice feeling as her muscles were massaged.
"Thank you…you KIRITSUGU!" Saber screamed standing up and magical wind whipped about her as Excalibur was pointed at the offending magus. Despite having the holy blade pointed at him by one of the strongest servants Kiritsugu didn't seem all that threatened. Saber blushed glaring at Kiritsugu her arms shaking a little he smirked standing up and the steam did nothing to hide his shame. Kiritsugu praccctically saw like a cup being filled the blush rise from Saber's neck to her face he grinned pushing the blade away with his finger and closing in. When they were stopped by the sound of a voice that sounded horrified.
"Kiritsugu!" Saber and Kiritsugu turned to see Irisviel look at them with a horrified expression on her face filled with betrayal. Saber paled and Kiritsugue only gave a sheepish shrug to his wife with that grin of his.
"I can't belive you would go behind my back…and play with Saber all by yourself!" Irisviel huffed puffing out her cheek not unlike Illay did when she got frustrated and stomping her foot on the ground.
"Ah sorry I just wanted to make sure Saber was alone" he shrugged. Irisviel closed the sliding door behind her and the steam did little to hide her shame as well. In the warm water Saber tried to sneak away from the distracted couple but Irisviel pounced her hands on Saber's small breast! The heroic spirit blushed
"I-Irisviel! P-please not again!" Saber tried vainly to get out of this situation that was eerily familiar situation that now she HAD to give thought too because this was too much! Kiritsugu calmly walked the water barely disturbed by his movements sitting down before her and Irisviel he brought Saber down on his lap with Irsiviel sitting on Sabers lap. The white haired woman nuzzling herself on Saber the poor servant was caught between a woman and a hard place… Gah I didn't mean that I take it back I take it back! Saber thought desperately. Kiritsugu slid his hands on her waist Irisviel slid her hands from Saber's chest to her shoulders and finally held her face. Kiritsugu's scruffy chin on her shoulder felt ticklish as his lips glided to her neck looking up her body accepting it she let out a rather pitiful no into the night.
"NOOOOOOO~" the no ending with a pleasurable sigh from Saber from pleasurable attacks of her foes.
The family spent the night at the Kotomine house Shirou barely slept much keeping guard because he caught Caren, Illya and Kuro trying to sneak into his room four times. With only three hours of sleep he stretched his sore body and popped his joints rolling his shoulders and neck around. Dressed and ready for breakfast he exited his provided room. He walked to the adjacent room where his parents slept. He knocked on the wood of the sliding door. Irisviel's rather cheerful "Enter~" was heard and Shirou walked in Irisviel finished buttoning her trademark red blouse and patted down her hair. Kiritsugu finished tying his tie and slid on his shoulder holster containing his CONTEDENDER.
"Morning guys I think Claudia-san is making breakfast before we leave. Al go wake up Saber and the rest" Shirou said but stopped when he noticed something on in the sleeping Futon his parents shared. She sheets were wrapped a bundle of something after a few minutes a blond haired head poked out her hair loose and a bit wild. Saber gave off a cute yawn snuggling into the Futon her arm reaching out to Kiritsugu's spot to find it empty. No doubt she was looking for his warmth and she scooted herself to Irisviel's side but again nothing. Mumbling something half sleep she opened her green eyes. Drowsily she protested.
"The least you could do is cuddle after" Saber stopped as her eyes caught a confused Shirou's.
"S-Saber uhm why are you in my parents futon" he questioned.
"Uh-uhm y-you s-see Shirou" Saber tried to explain herself as she wrapped herself in the Futon's sheet. Shoot I forgot my clothes in my room Saber gave off an awkward smile not sure how to explain this. Shirou however wasn't good at putting two and two together when it came to these situations so she was saved by Kiritsugu.
"Saber got scared because she didn't bring her stuffed lion to sleep with" Kiritsugu said and when Saber turned to glare at him she could see the amusement in his eyes. Swallowing the biting insult she gave a forced smile and responded.
"T-that's right that lion y-you gave me from the carnival a while back has become my sleeping partner" she chuckled awkwardly and Irisviel threw herself at her.
"Ah Saber your so cute you should spend the night at our house today too!" she said. Shirou shrugged accepting the explanation but rather pleased with himself that saber held that stuffed animal so dear to her. Truth she did keep it in her room in her home but not to the extent Kiritsugu described it.
"I-Irsiviel I'm afraid I can't not without Lion-kun" she said revealing the pet name she gave to the stuffed toy. Kiritsugu grinned slipping on his coat and pocketing his hands.
"Ah then you can share our room again that would be fine wouldn't it Shriou?" he asked his son who again was completely oblivious to the situation at hand as poor Saber was played into their hands once again.
"Yeah! It be fine I guess besides Illya and Kuro love having you around! Well come on let's go eat breafkest! I'm starving." Kiritsugu left to get Saber's clothes as she buried half her face into the Futon's pillow glaring at Kiritsugu and Irisviel and the innocent looks they gave her. Fool me twice shame on them but now thrice and now I'm stuck…I hate to admit defeat! Even if defeat end's up with gratification! Saber cursed. Breakfast went about the same as dinner last night only this time an angry Gillgamish glared at Kiritsugu completely oblivious of Irisviel's involvement in seducing the lovely King of Knights. Kiritsugu for one ignored him more focused on his angry eating with Kirei. Both men seemed about ready to snap their chop sticks in half. Meanwhile Irisviel and Claudia talked while Shirou thankfully sat himself down between Saber and Kiritsugu to spare himself this meal. Though he was still half asleep from the lack of sleep and ate with a sort of mechanical manner.
"Ha Irisviel-san I adore your family visits! I hope you visit again soon" Claudia put her hand to her cheek as she wrapped her arm around her husband as they stood by the door. Caren blew a kiss to Shirou who gave a weak smile while Kuro dived in between the kiss as if it was a bullet fired at him.
"You saved Oni-chan! Good job Kuro!" Illya gave a thumbs up to Kuro who is hauled off the ground by Kiritsugu to his shoulders. Kuro giggled hugging his head Kiritsugu smiled despite Saber's inherit distrust and she wouldn't call it hate but rather apprehension to Kiritsugu she still found it sweet the man could be a great father.
"As expected you used up your ammunitions so you are using Kuro as a shield" Kirei spoke up. Kuro sweat dropped slumping forward on Kiritsugu's shoulders.
"Perhaps but that's why you are so cozy with your wife around you with no more black keys Kirei Kotomine" Kiritsugu said with his smirk.
"Until next time?" Kirei asked smirking with that sadistic manner that was not noticed by both Claudia and Irsiviel. The teens and saber however sweatdropped. I retract my thoughts Kiritsugu you are still a despicable individual Saber thought shaking her head. Their goodbyes said they returned home Kiritsugu driving this time around with Illya sitting on Irisviel's lap as she leaned against Irisviel and her mother rested her chin on Illya's head. The family returned home and when saber tried to sneak out of her spending the night Kiritsugu had already sped off on the Ashton Martin to her room to retriever some of her things. The worst part being she felt insecure that he knew where she kept her things in her room! How does he know these things! Saber thought blushing.
"You okay?" asked Shirou seeing her blushing and Saber only laughed it off saying she was never better. They arrived home Sella and Leysritt prepared lunch they all talked and had a fun time mostly Shirou who looked about ready to pass out his fun was quickly draining giving out to need for rest. So another day ended in the Emiya household as they all readied for bed Irisviel received a call on her phone.
Picking it up Irsiviel answered it with the Japanese greeting.
"Moshi-mosh!" Kiritsugu chuckled at his wife's antics. "Mhm…oh yes sounds splendid! Very well see you then Aoi-san!" Ending the call she called out. "Great news everyone Aoi Tohsaka invited us to go out to their private beach resort next week! Isn't that great!" Saber was already thinking of excuses to avoid going if only to try and hope Kiritsugu wouldn't use his command seal on her.
Shirou had already passed out on the couch and Illya and Kuro just blushed thinking of what bathing suits they could use to keep Shirou's attention. Kiritsugu shrugged smiling not minding another one bit spending time with his family before he had another 'job' to attend to abroad. Kiritsugu took Shirou to his room and everyone got ready to sleep. When Kiritsugu entered he already found Saber in their bed blushing giving him that trade mark glare of hers as she pull the sheets to her body. Kiritsugu knew already Irsiviel had releaved her of her night gown if the one folded on the vanity table by the bed was anything to go by. His coat disposed off he undid his tie and entered the bathroom after Irisviel exited. Once more she was in one of his shirts this one a simple white cotton shirt as she finished brushing out her hair and joined Saber in bed under the sheets. Kiritsugu exited the bathroom in pajama pants his torso exposed.
"Well I suppose we should get to sleeping eh Saber-chan" he used that name again and Saber blushed deepened.
"J-just o-one more time…d-don't get the wrong idea okay! I'm already stuck here m-might as well is all" Saber stuttered Irisviel grinned in Kiritsugu's direction and he chuckled getting in bed and he whispered something in Saber's ear that made the king of knights swallow thickly before turning to him and her lips met his. I'm going to be on the offensive this time! Saber thought as she rolled herself on him glaring at him while blushing creating a cute effect. Irisviel slid her arms around Saber's waist and Saber sighed as once again she had two opponents to deal with…although this time she will admit on her part she allowed this to happen…but only because she felt like it! Not because she was tricked…at least she tried to keep that in mind as the night went on.
Lol finally update this inspiration struck me xD and I thought wouldn't it be fun if poor Saber was stuck in an affair with Kiritsugu…and Irsiviel…and really they both just pushed her buttons because hey! Who doesn't enjoy a flustered saber am I right :D!
Also poor Gil xD don't you worry his role was minor on this chapter but I promise you he will make a comeback he's too full of himself to not demand attention xD.
Hope you enjoyed Kiritsugu and Kirei trying to kill each other on every turn I had fun writing those parts. Not to mention Irisviel and Claudia being completely oblivious or ignoring their husband's behaviors and Claudia ignoring Caren's unhealthy need to make poor Shirou squirm xD.
Oh as for the Idea of Irisviel and Maya competing for Kiritsugu attention that's where that affair with saber was born from lol.
