A word of warning: your mind is about to be discombobulated (real word) due to the George Lucas-ing that I did in the chapter. Feel free to leave me a PM if you need a more thorough explanation.
Another word of warning: A lime (Descriptive Kissing) is inside. If you don't like it/think my way of describing kissing is abysmal, then tell me in the reviews! I might take your opinion into consideration.
Poll Results: The King is still unseated from her regal throne, while the infamous Manaka Sajyou, Ayaka's sister, bites the dust.

Chapter Fourteen: Enter Misaya Reiroukan
As Shirou came to, he found his head in Shiki's lap yet again.
"Ugh, wait... fist... pink haired girl... Manaka," mumbled Shirou, trying to collect his thoughts. Shiki promptly supplied the missing details. It appears that after Shirou heroically fainted after the diamond hard fist collided with his temple, Group C, which was composed of Ayaka, Atalanta and Shiki herself, came to save the day. They fought off Manaka and her accomplice, Misaya, and won. Right now, they were in the dojo, being interrogated.
"Man... I'm sorry, Shiki. If I had just been a little more careful-"
"Relax, Shirou. We're all alright," replied Shiki, like a mother soothing her hurt child. "Atalanta, Ayaka and I are just glad you're alright."
Then she stole his lips.
Misaya Reiroukan. A Magister Magi. Master of the Fire element, and wielder of the Wolves of Artemis, a particularly powerful pack of familiars. Ironically, the familiars Artemis herself wielded have been slain by a Servant of the Moon Goddess herself.
"Why did you attack my Shirou?!" exclaimed a pig-tailed magus who was similar to Misaya herself. They were both prodigies, they both had black hair, and both messed up during crucial moments. Of course, a glaring difference was that Misaya would die soon, while her counterpart still had a ways to go. "Answer me!"
Misaya looked over to her partner Manaka Sajyou. Since they both had the same objective, they had decided to team up. Now they were both paying the price of their actions. "And if I don't?"
Of course, this merely agitated the magus, and in an instant, a blade was at Misaya's throat. Misaya expected that, since Rin and Misaya were, again, very similar.
"Okay. We're trying to find the True Holy Grail."
Shiki Misaki slid her tongue into Shirou's mouth. This surprised Shirou. He wondered how in the world he had attracted the Servant, and for how long had she felt this way towards him. As Shirou placed his hands on her person, their tongues touched, Shiki trying to mark her territory in the alcove. It made their senses peak, giving the both of them a piece of heaven on Earth. Shiki pushed herself onto the poor boy, pinning him in place on the bed. Then she broke away from Shirou's mouth.
Surprised, Shirou was about to say something when he felt Shiki nibbling on his earlobe. That was when he knew that she wanted him, and that she wanted him this instant.
Before this could turn into an M-Rated chapter, Saber barged in. She had felt a disturbance, so she had left in the middle of the interrogation to check it out. She made it just in time.
"Shirou, Shiki, what art thou doing?" said Saber. See, sometimes, when Saber's emotions are at their peak, she speaks in Old English, much like a certain Huntress of Artemis. "Dost thou know know that what thou art doing is-"
"Okay, I'll share," said Shiki playfully. "I'll take the top half, you can take the bottom."
"Don't I have a say in this?!"
"Ugh, you don't get the point," said Sadie, getting out of her Ye Old English funk. "You're needed at the dojo."
"I-I'm the catalyst for the True Holy Grail?!" exclaimed Shirou, not expecting this news to fall on him.
"If these two can be trusted," corrected Rin, taking one of her teacher to pupil poses, "which they can't. But it does make sense. I mean, how are any of these exotic beauties affiliated, much less infatuated, with you?"
Before Shirou could lamely retort, Ayaka saved him. "So you're calling yourself an idiot?"
"That's not what I mean!" cried Rin, her tsundere personality kicking in. "Lemme just explain it to this idiot here. See, we're supposed to have shards of the True Holy Grail embedded in our souls due to our affiliation with the Grail, and once all the shard holders are gathered, you and your harem will become the True Grail. Isn't it ludicrous?"
Of course, Shirou isn't that dumb. He argued that that might be the reason why Saber and Sir Bedivere traveled from the past to the future. It could also explain why all these girls are attracted to this one Hero of Justice. That would mean that the two assailants's theory is completely plausible. Rin bit her lip, since what Shirou had pointed out was reasonable.
"If that's the case, then what're we going to do about it? If this keeps on going, then the True Holy Grail will appear inevitably, which would make you and your harem fade away!" said Ayaka.
Everyone started to think of a solution. The easiest solution was to kill Shirou, but of course none of the ladies (except for Sir Bedivere, and maybe Rider) wanted that. Then, Luvia's lips curved into a smirk. "I have a solution."
Everyone's heads darted to Luvia, who said, "Just let Shirou choose a girl."
Footnotes:
Misaya Reiroukan: Prototype version of Rin Tohsaka in "Fate/Prototype". Not much info was given, besides the familiars, being Lancer's Master in F/P, and that she's terminally ill.
Abnormal Plot Twist: Shirou is like the Main Shard of the True Holy Grail, which is congruent with the one King Arturia searches during her time. The Main Shard attracts the other shards, which are embedded in his harem's souls. Once enough shards unite, anyone who wants the True Grail just has to capture Shirou and his harem and sacrifice their bodies in a ritual. That's what Manaka and Misaya both wanted to do, even though they themselves have Grail Shards.
Okay, wow. That plot twist was really unexpected. I didn't have a really good explanation for why Shirou's a chick magnet, so I decided to use the first idea that came to mind. Hope you don't hate me for it!
Please give me your honest opinion by reviewing! By the way, don't ask me if the fic is nearly done, because I doubt it. I can't see the ending just yet.
Anyway, sayonara!
