Didn't know this would get so many views. So the rules are different from the main Fate series only because I am uninterested in incorporating parts of those series into my work. It only mentions Fuyuki City in the last chapter and that is all. And the beginning is pretty slow only because I haven't really thought this story through. Thanks for the patience.

Chapter 2

"Hmm... Should I participate in a tournament?" I thought it over during U.S. History. Mrs. Agnew was jotting main key points on the board for the chapter test tomorrow. "I really don't like violence... Why is that?" I wondered to myself as I glance outside the window. The bell rang and the sound of chairs sliding across the floor was heard over Mrs. Agnew's voice. I gathered my things and swung my pack over my back. I walked to the cafeteria and got a slice of pizza and a large fountain drink. I sat in my usual spot when I felt someone put their arms around me.

"What do you want Levi?" I take a bite out of my pizza.

"What? No hello? No how are you?" Levi let go and sat beside me.

"You're pretty much related to me so formalities no longer apply." I continued to eat.

"Ouch!" Levi placed his hands on his chest. "And here I wanted to ask you out to winter formal." I started to choke on my food. His response took me by surprise. "Ah! Are you okay!?" Levi began to pat my back. "Do you need CPR Z?" I drank my soda and began to take deep breathes.

"No!" I push Levi away. "I'm fine. You caught me off guard for a moment." I cleared my throat and regained my posture.

"So is that a yes...?" Levi looked at me.

"What? No. You know I don't do school dances." I looked at him.

"I know. I just thought since we are seniors you would at least want to go to one dance. And I know you won't go to prom so I thought I would ask you to winter formal." Levi looked down at his feet.

"Don't you think Nero will think it's weird that his best friend asks his twin sister to a dance?" I told him taking a sip of my soda.

"He knows how I feel about you..." Levi mumbled something.

"What?" I looked at him.

"He will be alright." He looked at me.

"Fine. Just this dance and it's not a date." I sighed. I have said no to him since middle school so just this once I guess I'll go to a dance.

"Thank you Z!" Levi hugged me. "Our color is blue okay." He gets up and leaves happily.

"Blue... I guess that's okay." I shrugged my shoulders. "Since I said yes to Levi I might as well join the next karate tournament." I threw my trash away. I made it to the lockers and got dressed for karate. Class bell rang and karate started. We did our exercise routine that consisted with jumping jacks, squats, leg stretches and arm stretches. Once we were all warmed up we went into our form techniques.

"Okay! Now let's see some sparing!" Sempai Kaname talked over the class. "Who wants to volunteer?" I raised my hand. "Ugh... Z...?" Sempai looked surprised. "Who wants to go up against Z?"

"I will!" A boy with brown hair and a bit taller than me raised his hand.

"Okay. Zane come up to the front and everyone else sit along side the room." Sempai said. I stayed where I stood and faced Zane. He's a year older than me and only because he didn't graduate last year. And when it comes to fighting he's the top notch.

"I want clean hits Zane. Nothing above the neck. Got it." Sempai looked at us.

"Got it." Zane smirked. I nodded. We bowed to each other and took steps back. I got into my stance and waited for Zane to strike first.

"Who do you think will win? Zane of course. Z has never sparred." I heard the other students behind me.

"Here I come!" Zane rushed me with a punch. I slid my foot back and blocked his punch with my right arm leaving his chest exposed for a punch. Zane smirked and tired to punch me with his left arm. I blocked with my left and pushed back away from him. I can tell he isn't holding back. He's a straight forward fighter and that there leaves openings for punches. I inched closer to him. He tried a front snap kick but I blocked it with my arms crossed. He tried to punch me in the face. I quickly dropped to the floor and punched his gut.

"One point Z." Sempai said. I stepped back and got back into my stance. Zane went all at me. Throwing punches after punches. I kept blocking them. My guess, he was trying to keep me on the defensive side, which would have worked if it were one of the other students. I slid to the left and jabbed Zane's left side twice.

"Three point Z." Sempai stepped forward. "Z wins." He class was quiet. Zane was furious having to lose to a girl. The bell rang and everyone began leaving the room.

"Good fight. Congrats." The other students were bowing and patting my shoulder as they left. Zane left the class room without a word.

"I'm guessing you would like to compete at he next tournament?" Sempai looked at me.

"Ya. I figured since it's my last year at high school might as well do a few events." I smiled.

"Good. Here's the waiver and participation form." Sempai handed me several papers. "I'll be cheering for you." He smiled and I left to go change. Two more classes and the school day had ended.

"Hey Z can I walk you home?" Levi stood next to Z as she took her belongings out of the locker.

"But you always walk with Nero and me." Z looked at him.

"Nero has soccer practice today." Levi smiled.

"But aren't you in soccer too?" She looked at him.

"Ya. But I told coach my dad needed me home early today." Levi grabbed Z backpack and threw it over his shoulder.

"Levi I can carry my own things." Z looked at him.

"Come on Z, just let me carry your things." Levi began walking.

"Okay." Z shrugged. As they exited the school, Levi noticed several other students looking at them.

"Hey Z can I hold your hand?" Levi asked her.

"What? No. We aren't a couple Levi. Even if I said yes to the dance it doesn't make us a pair." Z looked at him.

"Why not?" Levi asked.

"I'm not interested in dating. Not yet any way." Z answered.

"Ever since middle school you became serious with school. Back in elementary we would always have fun. And nothing has changed really between us." Levi looked at her.

"Levi I know how you feel about me. It's not that I don't like you, I just don't see myself in dating anyone." Z looked down. "I don't want you to get hurt, especially by me. You're a good friend Levi and I have always cherished our friendship. Maybe when I'm done with school I'll ask you out." Z smiled at him.

"But it's the guys job to ask the girl out." Levi told her.

"I know. But I don't want you to wait for me. I want you to be happy. And who knows. Maybe you'll find someone better than me." Z smiled. "I don't want you to regret anything." Levi looked at her. The girl he fell in love with since elementary school stood beside him as they walked home. Knowing this was the closest he will ever get to her was fine for now.

"Thank you for walking me home Levi." Z smiled at him breaking his train of thought.

"Your welcome." Levi handed over her backpack. As he did he leaned in and stole a kiss from Z's lips. Z had a dumbfound look on her face. "See you tomorrow Z." Levi ran off toward his house.

"What just happened?" He barely heard Z's words. Z stood there in shock as she watched Levi run off.

"Ah! That was great." Levi smiled to himself as he walked into his yard. "Maybe I should steal kisses more often."

"Levi! Get your head out of the clouds and get inside. We have work to do." Levi's dad shouted at him from the front door.

"Yes dad." Levi sighed as he thought of the kiss.

"Try harder! If you don't summon a heroic spirit by tomorrow morning I'll disown you." Levi's dad was furious.

"Yes sir!" Levi tried harder to channel his magic. "Gotta try harder." Levi stayed in the basement trying to focus his magic.

"Preparations are complete." Kaname flipped the training mats over. "Now when time comes I'll make Z into the catalyst to summon saber." Kaname began to laugh. "This will be great!"

"Stupid Levi!" I slammed my book down.

"Whoa Z what's wrong?" Nero looked at me.

"Levi kissed me today and ran off." I looked at Nero.

"No way!? Your first kiss was with Levi!" Nero said it loud enough for Gideon to hear.

"What!?" Gideon walked into the study. "Are you guys dating?"

"No! I told him I wasn't looking into dating for awhile." I looked at them.

"But you did say yes to go to winter formal didn't you?" Nero looked at me.

"Ya. But I told him it wasn't a date and we are not a couple." I closed my book.

"You should give him a shot Z. He really likes you." Nero looked at me.

"We'll see how winter formal goes. But I just don't have that mind set of a dating teenager yet." I looked at my book. Honestly I wouldn't know how to understand it all. I'm more of a logical thinker anyway.

"What color did you guys pick?" Gideon asked.

"Oh, blue." I answered.

"This blue." Nero pulled out a blue tie. "Levi forgot to give you his tie so you can match your dress." Nero handed me the tie. It was a silky smooth tie and it seemed like a lively blue.

"It brings out your eyes." Gideon held the tie to my face. "No doubt Levi has a good taste in brining out your eyes Z."

"They are the same as Nero's." I placed the tie on the table. "Where do I even start to look for a dress? Winter formal is this weekend."

"Leave that to me." Gideon smiled and took the tie. We finished our study and went to bed. I laid on my bed wide awake. This week started out different from most weeks. I couldn't help but feel like something bad is going to happen. I forced myself to sleep.
