Hero DxD BorN
Chapter 9: Q & A/ U.H.O
"Shirou!" Rias yelled as she and Koneko and Akeno rushed towards him.
His body was convulsing.
"Guh... circuits... overworked... shouldn't have done that..." Shirou thought as his mind was blinded by pain.
To use a divine artifact when still hadn't perfected the use of the new power in him... of course there would be a penalty.
His circuits where used to his 'default' strength, and him pouring more power than he should, this was his pain.
"ASIA! Get over here quick" Rias said.
Shirou clenched his teeth as he swallowed down his desire to scream, while painful, oh so painful, it was nothing considering what he had done, he had saved these people and many more by stopping this act of war. If the pain he was going trough was the price, then he would do it again in a heartbeat
His pupils dilated as fresh new pain cursed trough his nerves courtesy of his magic circuits.
"RRRGGG" he clenched his hands... would he break down?
Then... a soothing light... his body... his circuits begun to calm down.
The pain begun to slowly stopping, his body was convulsing slightly but the pain was dulling down, he opened an eye.
It was Asia using Twilight Healing [Smile of the Holy Mother] on him.
The pain stopped and his body was back to normal.
But something was wrong...
"My... room?" Shirou blinked.
On the side of his bed was Mittelt, Asia and Rias, as well as Koneko and Akeno, Issei was sleeping leaning against the wall by the door and Kiba was leaning against the wall standing asleep.
Shirou woke up, there was a weight of both Koneko and Mittelt on it, they where all worried for him after all.
He shifted slightly to get into a better position, it was kinda hard to breath with the extra weight, no matter how light it would be.
"Ah... he is awake!" Asia exclaimed in joy.
Stirring on his chest Koneko and Mittelt woke up slowly "Ototo!" Rias said as she lunged at Shirou.
He grunted a bit "What on earth ever possessed you to do... do... whatever that was, thank the Maous you are still alive" Rias said as she cried.
"I am sorry" Shirou said "but that was the best way to deal with this"
"Ara ara, I am curious... what was that what you did? That 'world' that you made" Akeno said.
"Was that a Sacred Gear of yours?" Rias asked
"No... it's not what you call a sacred gear" Shirou said.
"Ara ara, are you sure? Maybe you might be involuntarily using it's abilities" Akeno said.
"Sacred gears... are given to humans by the Biblical God, correct?" Shirou asked.
"Uhmm... yes that is correct" Rias said.
"Then no, it is not a sacred gear, this is my ability that I honed and perfected on my own for many years, is a skill and a ability all in one, that can not be duplicated and is mine alone..." Shirou said.
"But... what is it?" Rias asked.
"I wish to know that too... the blades I saw... they where too much... and that sword at the end" Kiba said.
Yes... that blade WOULD have that effect.
"Unlimited Blade Works, is my ability to bring my distorted view of reality into this world... I suppose you might know of the 'world egg theory'? Well regardless it works like so, a reality marble is used to refer the alien common sense of demons, the way I perceive reality is due t how distorted my perception of the world is, the world of Unlimited Blade Works is a world that defines me and could be called a taboo, the actualization of a Reality Marble is the result of switching the Self and the World while keeping the boundary the same. The size of the Self and the World is switched, enclosing the World in a small container while the Self is expanded. The contained World is the World Egg and the name of the theory. They will encase anyone within range, causing them to disappear from view. No one outside of it could enter and only those of skill can perceive the anomaly of the world" Shirou explained.
Issei and he 2 girls of the church blinked, even Kiba and Asia blinked, not understanding what had happened... Koneko tilted her head in confusion while Rias and Akeno racked their brains to get around what he just said.
"I am not sure but... was there an implied insult in there somewhere?" Rias said.
Shirou chuckled...
"I apologize, however that is the way explained to me, it is possible that due to my off-worldler status that the rules differ from where I come from" Shirou said.
"W... what do you mean?" Rias asked.
"I am not originally from this dimension... I am Shirou Emiya and I come from a (possibly) alternate reality" Shirou said as the cat was out of the bag, ermmm... no pun intended. Especially since Koneko got into his schoolbag searching for his bentou.
They all blinked.
"Alternate... reality?" Akeno asked with her eyes closed, her head tilted to the side.
"Ah! Then the thing you asked me and Onii-san about was" Rias said realizing where it was going.
"Yes... to find a way back to my reality, I would have looked for the one who has access to that sorcery, but so far I been unable to see if there was anything like Clock Tower where the magus gather" Shirou said.
"There are cabals and some are managed by a devil, maybe if you meet that devil you may have a chance of finding that magician!" Rias said.
"That... would be hard, that sorcerer is kind of a glob-trotter... he is never in one place for long, or reality" Shirou said with a sigh.
Zelretch was a difficult man to find.
"Still you have a clue on where to look" Rias said.
"Thanks Rias" Shirou said.
"Still what I don't understand... why where you in such pain afterwards?" Issei asked.
"That is cause of my way I use magecraft" Shirou said.
"So you are a magician?" Akeno asked.
"No... I am not one... I am barely a magus, and a 3rd rate at that" Shirou said, "the think is... I am considered a failure as a magus... as I only had 27 magic circuits, those are pseudo-nervous system that spreads itself through the human body, they are pipelines that converts prana and transmit energy to the system to create the mysteries we do" Shirou explained.
"But that doesn't explain..." Kiba said.
"My circuits, can only handle 10 units of prana each... I tried using 10 times that... they where not used to such stress... and thus... the pain was my punishment as I used more power than what I was 'allowed' to by my circuits. To use magecraft beyond your skill will result in death" Shirou said.
"I used too much power, more than what my circuits where used too... and thus, that happened"
His nerves went into shock.
To be honest Shirou was pretty sure he would die, even if he had the prana to use Excalibur now his circuits would not be able to withstand the stress of so much prana coursing trough them.
"But... isn't a magus the same as being a magician?" Rias said.
"No, at least not where I come from, a magus is someone who can use magecraft, that is to say, able to use magic that bends the rules of nature, while a magician/sorcerer is one who can use magecraft outside the scope of nature" Shirou said.
"I see... still you need to rest, I am thinking of sending you to the hospital on the Sitri territory" Rias said.
"Thanks, but I am good now, Asia's ability is topnotch, while not able to recover stamina, the healing is perfect as it does not consume the stamina of the one being healed" Shirou said as he patted Asia gently.
She blushed at Shirou's words and ministrations.
"So... you are looking for a way home, that is... a bit disheartening, but understandable" Rias said.
"Is not like I will be able to leave immediately, and to be honest I wish to graduate from high school, it would seem like a waste NOT to" Shirou said.
It would be a sore point that he worked so hard on his work on his old world, only to have it gone.
I don't want to be thought as a high school dropout.
"But, that kind of magic... I never seen it before" Akeno said.
"And you never will... is from an alternate reality after all" Shirou said.
Shirou stood up, his body and nerves where healed, Asia's power are convenient, they are rather like Avalon in a way, (it couldn't regenerate limbs or cure illnesses or stop aging the owner tough).
"Anyways... since you all taken care of me, and now I can move without feeling like my body is being electrocuted... how about I treat you all to something to eat?" Shiruo said.
The group blinked at that.
Koneko was staring as Shirou opened the fish, she was basically drooling.
Shirou skillfully opened the fish and took the bones out, he then grounded the bones into a fine powder, he used that to make a stock and sauce, he then begun to broil the fish (A salmon) and made a pot of miso and another of rice and he put a few eggs on dishes, the eggs where raw and mixed with soy sauce, and then poured over the steaming hot rice that was served in individual dishes.
The breakfast was served after 20 minutes.
Koneko was staring at the spread with wide open eyes, her drooling became akin to the Niagara falls.
"Ara ara, this looks like a rather magnificent spread... I feel that we are being pampered fufufufufu" Akeno said.
"Well... you all are, you survived a terrible ordeal, and made it alive after all, I think that is reason to celebrate" Shirou said.
Koneko as soon as she sat took a bite.
POOF!
Her ears and tail appeared.
"S... SOOO GOOOD!" she said as she was taken to heaven, figuratively speaking.
"Uhmm! delicious!" Issei said as he also begun to eat with gusto.
"not even the chefs of the Gremory house make such a delicious meal" Rias said in shock. "My little brother sure is talented" Rias added.
"Yes, this is certainly delicious" Kiba said with a ligh blush.
"You are more domestic than I thought, considering the way you carried yourself in the fight and how you defeated that army" Xenovia said.
"Uhmm.. that was rather interesting... to think that you would have such a blade... the [true] Excalibur, no wonder you where offended when you saw our Excaliburs" Kiba said.
Yes... comparing the 'pieces of E*calibur to [True] Excalibur... was like comparing a shoddy house to a multi-million dollar mansion.
Still this was rather curious...
Xenovia was here, but Irina was not... what happened?
"Wait... I think I missed something... where is Irina? And, not to be rude but... what is Xenovia doing here?" Shirou asked.
"I will answer that my little brother" Rias said with a beaming smile as she put on glasses.
It seems that Rin was not the only one who used glasses to appear smarter.
"Ah... Rias... may I be allowed?" Xenovia asked.
"Ehhmmmm... ok... fine... spoil my fun" Rias said as she pouted and took off her glasses.
"During your fight... things where said... things that shook both Asia and me... if my faith was as strong as Irina's... whose ever living and breathing day is about thoughts on... God... such revelations from Kokabiel would undoubtedly destroy her sanity" Xenovia said. "So after the battle we parted way... as I..." Xenovia left it hanging
2 Black wings spread from her back "I joined Rias's peerage... I became a Knight"
"That also came as a shock for us... to think... the Biblical God to be dead" Akeno said.
"What about you Shirou? In the world you come from...?" Rias asked.
"There was a time called 'the age of gods' but that time has long gone... due to it magic begun to decrease due to the raise in technology... magical energy begun to dwindle and mythological beings begun to vanish... less and less humans where capable of using magic... only about 20% of humans could use magic, and most of them came from families with hundreds of years of studies" Shirou said.
"I see... so it is so different than here" Akeno said.
"Yes, devils exist too... but... they are rather.. different that you all" Shirou tried to say that delicately.
"Oh they look like the ones displayed on those artworks of the 14th century?" Rias said with a chuckle.
"No... rather they did not have a 'definite shape' they existed in non-existance... they materialized by bringing a piece of 'their world' and manifesting that way... they are beings composed of imaginary numbers... I am not really good at this kind explanations... sorry" Shirou apologized.
They all blinked.
"W... while I may say I am not really the smartest one here... I just wanna say... What?" Issei said.
"I must concur with Issei-kun... I have no idea what you mean" Akeno said.
"Let's say that they are amorphous entities... they have no shape, and they can't exist in this world, so they bring with them a 'part of their own world' and create a barrier around themselves to protect themselves using the piece as a 'shield' against the world trying to 'correct the abnormality' as demons and devils are an anomaly to the world" Shirou said.
"T... that sounds rather harsh, I am glad to be a devil in here" Issei said with a relieved sight.
"Anyways... I was kicked out of the church due to learning that secret and now I am Rias knight... kuhuhuh... to think someone like me... ahhh.. yes... an excomulgate person is fit to become a devil" she said
"Do you regret it?" Shirou asked.
"No... I can't say I do... I choose this on my own... I was angry, I was scared, I was lonely and my world was shattered... what else could I do but move forward?" Xenovia said with a sigh.
"And your sword?" Shirou asked.
"Oh... you mean my Durandal, don't worry about it... they decided to let me keep it, I am the only master of that sword after all so they decided to make some... tweaks to it for me to use it" Xenovia said with a smile.
"Oh that is good, there is nothing worst than a weapon who hurts its wielder" Shirou said.
"Still does the church... know of Michael's deceit?" Shirou asked.
"No, or rather, they do not WISH to know... it seems like they are like Irina... only a thousand times worst, they know of God's death though, as since I learned of it I was kicked out... or would have, had I deigned to return, but I think I like this deal better" She said with a smirk.
So... the questions still remained.
"AH... that's right... you still hadn't answered my question, so... back in your world, what did you use to do?" Rias asked.
Shirou sighed, as they all looked at him.
"Promise not to laugh?" Shirou said.
They agreed.
"I was... and still am... a hero of justice" Shirou said.
Kiba and Koneko turned themselves around as their body's where shivering.
Shirou was deadpanned "You two are laughing... aren't you?" he said.
"N... no... no...not at... *snort* at all" Kiba said as he tried to control his mirth.
Koneko had a straight poker face, but the slight movement of her eyebrows gave it away.
"Fuhuhuhu... Shirou-kun, that is a rather fanciful thing to say, while I cannot deny you have the skills and power, but... aren't you far away from you goal, after all, we ARE devils" She said with a smile.
"Yes, you are devils, however the world is not black and white, you who are devils, are kind and good... if some are a bit perverted" Shirou said.
Kiba bowed "I am sorry that our Issei is a pervert he said"
"Don't apologize for me damn it!" Issei yelled as Kiba chuckled.
"That is a rather jaded way of thinking Shirou" Rias said with her on smile.
"I meet beings that where so far from being humans... while being kinder than any human you may have seen" Shirou said.
Yes, Arcueid had that effect on everyone, she may be a rather annoying person, due to her personality, but she was kind one.
A shame Shirou hated with a passion the one who was with her... Shiki Tohno.
Shirou and Shiki could never see eye to eye as they are different in their core.
One was selfless, the other was selfish.
But it was ok... they might not see eye to eye but they could cooperate... somewhat... weellll... not really.
Both of them almost killed each other.
Shirou wanted to save the people in a village that where being razed by ghouls, Shiki decided to just kill them all and get it over with.
Shirou and Shiki's fight would only end up on M.A.D, Mutual Assured Destruction.
Shirou would end up overusing his circuits and die, and Shiki would die as well from overworking his mystic eyes.
Fortunately Arcueid stopped both with a karate chop to their heads and rendering them unconscious.
Shirou's face was twitching at remembering that.
"Anyways, I still have some reservations to devils and fallen angels, but so far they have been upfront with me... and with the information I got from Kokabiel..." Shirou said.
That information did not paint the angels as a wholly virtuous beings, or rather they twisted the meaning of it.
"I am... rather uncomfortable with what I learned to be honest... right now I want nothing more than to kill that, but if I did... humans would pay for it uh?" Shirou said.
They nodded.
Also to meet that Angel would be rather hard.
"By the way... what did you mean with an 'upcoming conflict'?" Rias asked
"Is strange, is it not... this came out of the left field, his anger and wrath of Kokabiel festered, hut as a millennial being, how then, did someone who learn the steps of patience, no matter fallen or not, as an angel, why did it overflow... why did he hatch this plan? It wasn't something that just one decides on a whim... no... he was 'pushed' like all people who start wars an genocides... there is 'something' that is being plotted and the battle with Kokabiel was the 'opening act', a warning sign, I seen them before" Shirou said.
The people dying due to 'gas leaks', was just a coverup to what really happened, servant Caster was actually siphoning the life force of people from all over town, not enough to kill them, but to cause a rather severe health problems.
"You will die if you don't summon your servant... Onii-san"
"Shirou?" Rias said as Shirou looked lost in thought.
"Yes... there is something coming, you best train even more... I need to rest, even if I am healed I still need to rest for the physical fatigue" Shirou said.
"I see, by the way Shirou... I was told to give you this" Rias said as she put on the now clear dinning room table's surface a sleek looking suitcase.
Shirou opened it.
"T... This is... what is this?!" Shirou said in shock.
"Well... Kokabiel wanted to start a second Great War, not to mention that he had a bounty on his head on the underworld at the devils side, while many people where claiming that you shouldn't receive the reward, it was decided that you should by the council, as you had done a great service and had brought much honor to our family, regardless of race" Rias said.
If Rin saw this much money... she would probably have a heart attack, but not before asking Bazzet for a couple of resurrecting runes.
It would solve her financial problems, due to her use or rather expensive items as her mystic codes.
Gems.
Yes, that right, she used rather expensive jewels and gems to cast her spells.
Something like that... would bankrupt anyone, well save Luviagelita Edelfelt, whose family account was so large that even the word large would be small in comparison to how vast it is.
Still this was a rather sizable amount.
"WOAH! w... what is this?!" Issei said in shock.
"Well that is his reward for defeating Kokabiel" Kiba said.
"B.. but that is... that looks like like a ransom payment... no... A PRIME MINISTER'S salary!" Issei said in both shock and awe.
"Well... Kokabiel WAS a rather dangerous individual, he is one of the high ranking fallen that survived the Great War" Kiba explained.
"I gladly accept, with this I don't need to work part time on that place" Shirou said.
"Oh? Where did you use to work?" Akeno said.
Shirou looked down "tler caffe"
"Ara? Where did you say?" Akeno pushed with a smile.
"I used to work in a Buttler caffe ok? They pay is good, and people enjoy the way I make their pastries and coffe" Shirou said.
Rias, Akeno, Koneko and even Asia and Xenovia pictured Shirou in a classical butler outfit, his hair neatly combed back.
"Can I serve you... ojou-san?"
They all turned around.
"T... that attack power" Akeno said as she cleaned her bleeding nose.
"Hahahaha... that... what was that?" Asia said confused at what happened to her.
"That kind of power... how frightening" Xenovia said with a chuckle.
"so... if we did that for the school's festival... uhmm, that would definitely be a hit" Rias muttered.
"Anyways, since all is over I will be back to rest, if you need me just contact me, so... Rias 'onee-san' I will see you later" Shirou said.
"Ah... take care" with that they excused themselves.
With that Shirou went back to his room. Mittelt was sleeping in his bed so he decided to just crash on his couch.
2 days later
Shirou was already feeling better, but Mittelt was acting like an overbearing mother and wanted to do the shopping herself.
He let her go as she pleased and he made the meals... but today he wanted to buy something to drink from the corner store.
It was a bright sunny day, it was only partially cloudy, it was a rather inconspicuous day, a day like any other.
He went in and the cashier greeted him, he returned the greeting and chatted for a while, he then went for two bottled waters and some plum flavored ramune for her, as it's her favorite.
He went back home and put the 3 bottles of ramune and a single water bottle on his fridge and went out with the one left in his hand. It was still cold, and he wanted to stretch his legs.
He went to a park nearby...
The lake in there was also soothing, with the ducklings swimming peacefully.
He laid back on the grass, the scent of nature was rather strong.
And then … he felt it... a rather large and rather familiar power.
"N... no way... it can't be... Zelretch?" Shirou said in shock as he saw a ripple in the sky, the scent of power was unmistakeable.
"GYAAAH!" a female voice shouted from the portal.
And then... 'something' flew out and separated into 15 small spheres... one of them remained with the person in the sky and begun to fall down.
A pink ball of light... and then the light vanished.
"Damn it!" Shirou cursed as he rushed to the Unidentified Human Object falling down.
He reinforced his body to the max and then...
BOOOM
He managed to grab her … however the speed plus gravity on the small person falling down... well...
"Jesus... what the hell?" Shirou said as he was now 3 feet deep into a crater.
He opened his eyes, it was blurry... but he recognized the being on top of him.
"I... Illya!?" he said in shock.
Minutes laters
Shirou was back.
"oh Shirou... you are back" Mittelt said and then looked at the ragged look of Shirou and who he was carrying.
"Shirou... I never knew you had those tastes... and I was here and willing" she said.
"wh... what?! No! She... she is" Shirou said.
"Illyasviel... my sister" Shirou said.
Mittelt's eyes widdened as she looked at him and at her.
"n... nothing in common" she thought.
"I was adopted" Shirou said deadpanned.
"Ah... that makes sense... but wait... then how-?" Mittelt said
"I don't know... but I am going to find out" Shirou said. "But let her sleep" Shirou said as he looked at Illya nostalgically.
2 hours later
"onii-chan" Illya said in her sleep.
"She must been having a rough time" Shirou said.
His blood however, ran cold when he saw a card on her hand.
"Archer"
He decided to ignored it, it had to be a coincidence... right?
"Mittelt, please keep this under wraps for the time being ok? Make sure she is comfortable" Shirou said.
There was something odd about this...
"Shirou... live"
She said that as she used her life to make sure I wouldn't die
I was supposed to die that day.
It was sheer luck that I did not die from a stroke when I defeated Saber, who became tainted by the Grail's mud, or when I defeated Kotomine Kirei... internalizing the reality marble
Shirou saved Sakura, and Rin...but he lost her... Saber... and Ilya sacrificed herself to reverse the breakdown of Shirou's body by using the "Dress of Heaven"
She was so beautiful, she looked like the fairies normal humans thought of.
"Live"
How... she was dead, but she is here... was it due to Blue? Or could it be due to her own sorcery? Heaven's Feel was a lost true magic, so using an incomplete version would have some repercussions.
He smiled as he remembered Kotomine's face how he killed him
"Tha...that blade!" he said in shock.
The Azoth blade, it was a gift from Rin's father to Kotomine as he graduated from learning magic, it was a 'graduation present' of sorts.
It was with that same blade Kotomine killed Rin's father and then made a pact with Gilgamesh on the last war.
Shirou flooded the sword as he punctured Kotomine's literally cursed heart, a heart made by the grail's mud, and exploded as the energy of the blade overloaded Kotomine's body, making it blow in gory chunks.
To date, that single memory is one that made him smile the most, the first being his meeting with Saber.
What could had happen... was this... really Illya? Was it a lie? Or something else?
Shirou sighed, he needed to buy more drinks.
2 hours later
"Illya... wake up... wake up Illya or you going to be late to school" Shirou said as he shock Ilya to wake her up.
"Ah... Onii-chan... Good morning" she said sleepily.
She then wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Oi, Illya" Shirou said.
"Good morning Kiss" she said as she kissed him.
"MURGH!"
She woke up to the strange sound... only to see her kissing a blonde haired girl.
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" she screamed.
Shirou then arrived.
"Illya!?" he said as he slammed he door open.
He saw Illya and Mittelt in mid kiss.
"Ah... sorry, carry on" he said as he closed the door gently.
"I... IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" Mittelt said with a deep blush.
10 minutes and a lengthy explanation later
"I see.. anyways... Illya, what are you doing here? What happened?" Shirou said.
"Onii-chan!" She said as she begun to tear up and hugged him, it was as she hadn't seen me for a while... which would make sense since that happened.
"Here, drink this..." Shirou said.
"Shirou... where is mom and dad... and Sella and Leys?" Illya asked.
"Mom... and dad? Illya are you ok?" Shirou asked a bit worried.
"What are you... you... you are my brother right? Shirou... right?" Illya asked worried.
"Yes... I am your brother... no matter where am I... I always will" Shirou said as he hugged the little girl.
"Bu... but mom... and dad... where are they?" Illya asked.
He was wrong, this Illya was not the same, this Illya was one that lived with her family, outside of the Einzberns's control, raised as a normal person... but how did she got here to this reality?
Wait... if she recognized me as well... does it mean that there was a 'Emiya Shirou' that lived with Kiritsugu Emiya... but... who was the mother?
"Here... drink some of this" Mittelt said as she gave Illya her plum ramune.
She drunk it greedily... and then.
"Curse spawn of the Einzbern... curse... I shall not allow you to have this victory without any sort of repercussions... you will never go back to your world... I will slap you out and spit you off the path to your own reality, and you shall never get rid of my curse... Kahahahaha... suffer and drawn in despair Einsben spawn!" Julian Ainsworth cursed as he shot his hatred filled curse using the grail's mud, his ambittion was twarted by Illya, Kuro and Miyu, they managed to save the world without anyone dying.
However, this was something Julian Ainsworth could not, WOULD not tolerate.
His legend was set in stone, and they brazenly crushed it... they changed the end of it and he was left legendless.
He decided to make Illya suffer for her 'crime'
"URRRG!" She begun to hold her body as black wisps of power begun to grab hold of her.
"Shirou... wh... what is going on?!" Mittelt said in shock.
"Curse you Einzbern... curse you" a dark and hate filled voice said.
"This is... a conceptual curse?" Shirou said in shock.
Shirou traced a dagger, it was a ritual dagger.
"RULE BREAKER!" Shirou yelled.
The curse did not want to leave, it fought as it pushed back, but against this dagger it was useless, it was an Anti-Thaumaturgy noble phantasm... and true to it's legend it broke trough the curse.
Illya then stopped and lay listlessly on the bed.
"Damn it... Mittelt do you have any spells that could heal her somewhat, I rather not have to call Asia" Shirou said.
"I have something that would sooth the pain, but it won't do much other than that" Mittelt said.
"Then I have no choice" Shirou said.
Hyoudou household 6PM
*Brrriiiiiing brrriiiiiing*
"Ah... yes, good evening... a yes... ah, yes... Asia-chan... you have someone calling you... a boy I think Shirou?" Ms Hyoudou said.
"Ah, yes... coming" Asia said as Shirou could hear her steps rushing down.
"Ah, Shirou-kun, yes? How can I help you? Oh? Yes... ah I see... should I tell the rest? No? I see... very well I will be there shortly" she said.
"Issei-kun... I have to go to Shirou-kun's house... I will be back ok?" Asia said to him.
"ok, do you want me to go with you?" he asked.
She shook her head "Don't worry I will be fine, also is close by so don't' worry" Asia said as she went back down and put on her shoes.
Shirou's house
"So... what will happen now?" Mittelt asked "I have no doubts that Asia will not be able to keep a secret worth damn"
"Yes, but I rather have her give her a look a see" Shirou said "Also, it would be cheaper than going to a underground doctor"
"That is true" Mittelt said as he nodded.
There was a soft knock on the door.
"Ah... coming" Mittelt said, she answered the door.
"Ah, sorry for intruding" Asia said.
She went to see inside and saw Shirou grabbing the hand of a young little white haired girl, she had so many bruises.
"Oh dear Lord" Asia said in shock and then "Ouch... wh... what?! I can't even use that as an expression? No matter what on earth happened to her?"
"I don't know, but can you heal her? Her bruises and the like are not life threatening, but it would still ncie to have them healed... what I am concerned is what happened on the inside" Shirou said.
Asia then used Twilight Healing and noticed a LOT of wrong things on the girl, she had been hurt so much in so many ways... her body... was produced defectively, ergo it only had a rather limited life-span, however Twilight Healing could heal and fix it.
Illya's body begun to heal itself, her bruises and the like begun to slowly but surely become undone.
Illya's breathing begun to normalize, it seems like the curse tried to ravage Illya's body before going, as a way to 'kill her while seeing the people she loved' a spiritual and emotional torture to both the people she loved and herself.
Shirou I wouldn't allow that.
And thanks to Asia's Twilight Healing, I was able to save my (probable) sister.
He was glad, he fell to his knees... Illya... Illya was alive... and he let flow tears of joy.
For once... something good had happened to him, he was able to save someone without sacrificing someone else.
