„Why do I have to do this again?". Kuroda simply couldn't accept the fact that he had to go out and walk around the town, looking for Saber and Shirou.

"If they leave, at least they should make sure I won't have to look for them…". He kicked an empty can lying on the ground in frustration.

Then he saw Saber, running up the building, fighting against Rider.

He knew that he wouldn't be of any help, but he still started to run towards the building, following Shirou who has already disappeared inside.

But his road was cut off by a woman, around his age, with long hair.

-And who are you? Blocking my way like that. It's dangerous outside at the moment, so unless you are a Servant, you should go back to your home.

-I certainly am not a Servant, but you were close back there.

Kuroda froze in place. A Master. This way of talking, and understanding what term "Servant" meant. There was no doubt.

-Another Master? Guess I don't have a choice.

Masters may indeed be magi, but they still are human. They are someone who Kuroda should be able to take on without a second's delay.

-Gah~~

An impact pushed Kuroda backwards.

In hands of the magi, was an orb of light. It wasn't anything harmful, nor was it the thing that caused impact. But from inside the orb, mysterious shapes of light were emerging.

-That's troublesome.

He didn't want to show his new abilities yet. He would do so only if it would be necessary.

That's why he rushed at his enemy. The shapes were flying at him. At closer look, they were animals, in small forms, radiating light, and trying to smash at him. Tiger, small enough to fit into his palm, were one of those.

-Surely troublesome…

But he won't be defeated so easily. Seems like this mage isn't powerful after all. If she were, he would be already dead for sure.

That's why a burst of speed was enough to close the distance between them. Pushing the light animals away with his left hand, Kuroda pulled his enemy closer to him using his right hand.

"That will be annoying". He didn't enjoy attacking girls at all. Especially if they were good looking girls. But he won't risk his survival because of such a trivial matter.

-Haaaa~~~~~

He raised a fist. He should at least knock her out, in order to deal only as much damage as needed.

But his punch was counterattacked while still in midair. It wasn't anything extraordinary, but still enough to make him surprised.

"She's a magi who actually isn't useless in close combat, huh?"

But running away was useless. Such a small distance wasn't enough to run away from his right arm's range.

-Right Arm Pull!

He shouted the ability's name, alerting the enemy, but giving his skill a power boost as well.

As expected, the girl had nothing to counter the attack.

But nothing was needed, since a dagger came flying from above, positioning itself in place Kuroda's head should be just a second ago.

-A Servant? Things sure got complicated.

But what happened next wasn't anything he could have expected. Not even a burst of light exploding from the roof, probably an effect of Saber fighting against Rider, changed the fact, that Kuroda was at utmost shock. It couldn't be him. Not him. As those thought crossed Kuroda's mind, the Servant smiled, and jumped down from the 4rd floor, running at speechless Kuroda, with another pair of dagger in hands.

AN: From now on, the story changes the main hero for a while. I'll try finishing writing this story today, may it be even at midnight. It may take some time, since I'm not too sure about the plot from now on, but I should manage.

PS: More reviews please! Even if they won't be positive, they should help me improve my writing style.
