Somehow I had forgotten about the most significant problem of having Mordred sleep in the hotel tonight. The problem even took it upon herself to remind me of it the moment I walked through the door to the suite.
"Shirou! What the hell is the meaning of this?" screamed Tohsaka as I led Mordred into the room.
"Master, you did not inform me that someone else is residing in your room," Mordred unknowingly adds fuel to the fire.
"Ah…" I smile awkwardly, trying to wriggle myself out of this situation, "Tohsaka, erm, this is Mordred, and she will be staying with us for tonight…"
"Absolutely not!" roars Tohsaka, with an expression more fierce than Fuji-Nee when I told her that Tohsaka would be staying over, "who the hell gave you permission to bring other girls back here huh? A guy your age shouldn't be doing this sort of stuff! Not that I, erm, care for you or anything, BAKA!"
Tohsaka picks up a cushion from the sofa, ready to fling it at me.
"Coming from someone who forced me to sleep with a girl in order to recharge her prana, that isn't very convincing you know," I retort. Tohsaka gave me quite an opening there so maybe I can actually win this argument.
"Shut up you BAKA! Now get this Mordred girl out of here before I-" Tohsaka suddenly drops the pillow and looks at Mordred, scrutinizing her from head to toe.
"What's wrong, Tohsaka?"
"Hmm, isn't Mordred like the son of King Arthur? Coming to think of it they do look alike."
"That's what I was trying to tell you, idiot!" I scold her back. Looks like I've actually won this argument with her. I quickly inform her of the events that occurred today, except the part about Yamada. I don't know if she is aware of Yamada's true parentage, so I should keep it to myself for the moment.
"Oh," Tohsaka appears to be surprised at the outcome of events, "so you are telling me that she is your Servant?"
"Not exactly, because technically her contract is formed with the glove, so someone else wearing the glove can command her as well." I remove my glove and hands it to her for a look. Mordred appears to let out a grunt when I removed the glove.
"Hmm, I see…these guys do have access to some pretty advanced magecraft though, I haven't seen anything like this 'Surrogate Magic Circuit' thing before. I have read some of Lord Bruder's papers and journals but this thing is on a different level all together."
"I see…"
GROWL…
Oh damn, there's my stomach. Coming to think of it, I haven't eaten since morning.
"Oh bother, why don't we go out for dinner? Your servant can stay here, right?"
Coming to think of it again, dinner with Tohsaka isn't a bad prospect, especially given all the crazy stuff that happened today. Then again, the past few days haven't exactly been normal either. I think I've skipped a few meals too many too.
"Alright, I think we should. Mordred, you stay here, ok? I'll bring some food back for you, and probably some normal clothes too, you would stand out too much in that dress of yours."
"I don't understand, Master," Mordred appears clueless as ever, "my dress should be appropriate for both casual and formal occasions. Besides, I must be by your side to protect you at all times."
"God, you don't know anything, do you? Just stay here, alright. I can protect myself better than you can in your current state."
"Please Master, I may still be of some use as a shield for you if the situation arises."
Damn, they are EXACTLY the same. Mordred is reminding me of her even more, which now is not something entirely unpleasant, given that I am another step closer to her.
"Just stay here, end of discussion!" Somehow I feel that Mordred is really attached to me now, given that she has been clutching my arm ever since we've entered the room up until now.
"Mordred-san, I think you should listen to what your Master says, or he will be forced to use one of those command spells on you, not to mention punish you for being naughty at night…" Tohsaka suddenly interjects into the conversation, putting on a good face and apparently threatening Mordred with a nice, tender tone, which gave me more chills up my spine. Issei was never wrong, she is a devil indeed!
"Fine, I shall await your return here and accept whatever punishment you would deem fit," Mordred relents, definitely depressed. Satisfied, Tohsaka quickly grabs my other arm and yanks me out of Mordred's grasp, then runs to the elevator with me in tow.
After finding several restaurants too expensive, we ended up having Fish and Chips in a small café next to the river Thames. The sun is setting in the west, painting the sky and the water before us deep orange. Tohsaka is tucking into her food already, but I'm suddenly not hungry again. Instead, I'm now really curious as to whether Tohsaka knew about Yamada.
"Hey Tohsaka?"
"Uff?" Tohsaka answers, still with her mouth full of fish and potatoes.
"I was just thinking, do you happen to have a brother or something?"
"Huh? How did you know?" Tohsaka swallows her food, looking puzzled, "how did you know about Onii-chan?"
"So you do have a brother?" I exclaim.
"Yeah, but I haven't met him though. 8 years ago I began receiving letters from this guy in America claiming to be my father's illegitimate son. At first I thought it was a scam or a bad joke, but this guy knew so much about my father and about the family that I was convinced by him. I always addressed him as Nii-san but he kept telling me to be less formal with him, so I ended up calling him Onii-chan all the time. We've been corresponding by letters occasionally ever since, though he says that he is really busy with work so he never visits me. When I came to the Magic Association some time ago, I got this letter from him at my mailbox saying that he is in England and that he would try to find time to come and see me. I don't even know what he looks like, but from all his letters, Onii-chan seems like a nice person."
"I see, so you've never met, huh?"
"Yeah, though he seems to be some sort of otaku, because he's been sending me all these anime merchandise by buying them online and shipping them to my address. I told him that I'm not interested in any of these things but he's just so stubborn!"
"I see…" Goodness me, stubbornness sure runs in her family alright.
"And how exactly do you know about this, again?" Tohsaka suddenly realises my suspiciousness in this matter.
"Huh? Oh, I, er…I ran into someone else named Tohsaka yesterday so I was thinking if you were related to each other."
Whew, at least I pulled that one quickly. Tohsaka probably doesn't need know that her Onii-chan is in hospital with burnt-out nerves on one arm.
"I see…...thank goodness then. For a moment, I thought he was related to those weirdos you've been messing around with."
I don't know what to say. It would be bad to lie to her, but Tohsaka seems to have a strong dislike for the Assassins. I can't blame her though, seeing how Mass treated her on their first encounter. Heck, she's even been saved by Yamada and seen him being burnt-out from using his Erupting God Finger on Malfatto back then. Would seeing that be different if she knew that the person is her brother? Coming to think of it, Yamada hasn't exactly been lying to her as he is definitely busy with his work and was probably thinking of visiting her before Mass roped him into this whole thing. Now that Tohsaka has actually seen him in action, he would probably think twice before meeting her again lest she thinks of him as a freak.
"Shirou, aren't you going to finish your fish? It's going to get cold soon."
"Oh, right!" I quickly chomp down the fish. Dammit, after fighting those skeletons earlier, I barely have enough strength left in my arms now to move a knife and a fork, so maybe I should sleep early today. Though given the unfortunate circumstances that I have been forced into, I don't think sleeping will be easy tonight, which is if I get any sleep at all.
Mordred appears to love having Fish and Chips, or maybe she's just really hungry in addition to being tired, as she greedily chomps down the two servings that we had brought back. Tohsaka was right when she decided to buy an extra serving; Mordred did inherit her gluttony as well.
"Right, you guys, I'll be sleeping bit earlier tonight," I announce to the two girls after I finished showering, "Mordred, you can put these clothes on, it would be less conspicuous than that fancy dress you are wearing."
I hand her a simple T-shirt and skirt which Tohsaka picked up on the way.
"In that case, I shall accompany you in bed, Master," Mordred says it like a completely natural thing to do.
Given my previous experiences, I was pretty much expecting this to happen. Time for me to counterattack!
"No! I can't have you do that! Mordred, I don't care what you think you are, Servant or not, but you are a girl! I'm a guy, and I can't just sleep with a girl! We are sleeping in the same room so you can protect me anyway! And don't even think about using yourself as a shield because if you die, we won't know where to find Avalon!" I throw out all the arguments that were used half a year ago against her "father", hoping that at least one of the arguments will work.
"No! Master, I insist upon this, for I require more magic energy than the amount you can provide me passively. We must use alternative methods to transfer your magic energy if I am to be fully recharged by tomorrow."
"W-what? I can't do that! I can't do that! Tohsaka, talk some sense into her!"
I was not expecting that at all. Back then in the ruins against Berserker was one thing, but now she's pretty much offering herself to me with no apparent reason. No matter what she says, I can't just take advantage of her like that.
"Yes, Mordred-chan, that is a very naughty thing to suggest to your Master," Tohsaka puts on her cat-like face again and has apparently lowered Mordred's status by calling her "chan" now, "very naughty indeed. So very naughty that you deserve some really severe punishment!"
GRAPHIC SECTIONS BEGIN FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS. READERS WHO WISH TO SKIP THESE AFOREMENTIONED SECTIONS SHOULD SKIP TO THE NEXT INDICATION MARKER BEFORE CONTINUING. ALL OTHER READERS ARE TO PROCEED AT ONE'S OWN RISK.
Out of nowhere, strands of rope shoot out from Tohsaka's hands, wrapping themselves around Mordred, binding her arms and legs to the bedframe and spreading her out.
"W-what is this? Master, release me immediately!" Mordred is shocked and totally dumbfounded, struggling in vain against the ropes which have been pulled taught. I'm sure that under normal circumstances Mordred can break the ropes with ease, but right now she is probably too weak to free herself.
"Master! Help!" Mordred cries out for me.
"Now now Mordred-chan, be a good girl and don't scream too loudly," Tohsaka devilishly teases her as she pulls out her hankerchief from her pocket and wraps it around Mordred's face like a blindfold.
"Tohsaka, what in the world are you doing?" I quickly run to the bed and attempt to pull the ropes off. The ropes do not budge a single bit.
"Shirou, Mordred-chan here has been really naughty hasn't she? So it would be appropriate to punish her a bit, right?"
"What the hell are you talking about? This is ridiculous! Let her go!" I shout at her while pulling at the ropes harder. Damn, these things are strong. I have to cut them then.
"Don't bother, Shirou, after seeing that Italian guy shoot those chains, I've checked the Library at the Magic Association for something related, and found this tight-rope spell which uses a combination of projection and transfiguration, pulling the ropes only makes them tighter!
Tohsaka laughs maniacally. I need a sharp object, quickly! I scan the room and see the sword-hilt in the duffle bag of equipment. Rushing over to the bag, I yank the sword out of the sheath.
Kotetsu no Tamashii, the sword that survived a nuclear blast, re-forged into an all-metal blade.
"Take this!" I yell as I swing the blade at the ropes. This sword can rival Zangetsu, so it should have no problem slicing through mere ropes.
SHING! The blade cleaves cleanly through the rope, releasing Mordred's left leg from its bondage.
Alright! Time for the others!
"W-what? Shirou! No fair!" Tohsaka complains, "why don't you sleep early like you said you would?"
She suddenly points the index finger of her right hand at me.
A red flash, and suddenly my legs give way as I collapse. Damn! I can't feel my legs! My arms too, as the katana slips from my hand. This isn't good, Tohsaka must have used a paralysis curse on me.
"Master!" Mordred cries out as I hit the floor.
"Now then Shirou, time for bed," Tohsaka teases me devilishly again, then starts dragging my limp body. I don't even have control of my head now, so I just stare blankly at her moving feet while she pulls me through the room, then onto the sofa.
Another red flash, and suddenly my head feels like it is spinning. Slowly, my eyelids grow heavy. I can still see Mordred on the bed, her left leg bound again by a new rope. Tohsaka slowly slithers into the bed as well, then slides her hand under Mordred's dress into her crouch area.
"Ahn!" Mordred winces as Tohsaka's hand begins to move rhythmically up and down under her dress. Tohsaka then slides her other hand under Mordred's dress on her chest…
"Ahn…don't…touch me…there…"
"Shh…Mordred-chan, you don't want to disturb the residents next door, right?"
Damn, I can't keep my eyelids open any longer. Darkness falls as my eyes shut. Perhaps it is the spell, or maybe my fatigue from today, I can't tell.
"Ahn…no…please stop….AHHH!"
"Yes, Mordred-chan, just like that, don't you like this sort of thing?"
"N-no! You're wrong-AHH!"
"Oh dear me, you two are sensitive at exactly the same spot! Like father like son, eh?"
"N-no! Ahn! Ahn! AHH!"
Their voices grow faint, and my thoughts get slower. I can't even tell who is speaking now. Maybe, I should just fall asleep. It's not like Tohsaka will do anything to actually harm her so…
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
A loud scream pierced my eardrums, jerking me back into full consciousness.
I bolt upright from the sofa, the numbness in my body all but disappeared. I quickly scan the room for the source of the scream.
Mordred and Tohsaka are lying on the bed. Tohsaka is behind Mordred, embracing the Servant tightly in her arms, pulling their bodies together. Mordred is drenched from head to toe in sweat and saliva, panting heavily with a totally blushed face, while Tohsaka is giggling menacingly while running her wet fingers up and down Mordred's body and in places I cannot bring myself to name.
"WAGH!" I let out a surprised scream as I jolt backwards, almost toppling the sofa in the process, "Tohsaka what are you doing to her? Stop this right now!"
"Oh, Shirou, awake already?" Tohsaka smiles at me, devilish as ever, "I was just getting her ready for you, you know?"
"Don't be ridiculous!" I shout at her, "Put her down right now!"
Mordred appears to be in no condition to even speak, never mind struggling, as Tohsaka begins caressing her belly with her index finger, running it in circles around her bellybutton.
Oh god, I'm actually getting turned on by this. No! I can't let her do me in like that! I have to stop her before she does anything more serious!
Trying my best to ignore Mordred's panting and Tohsaka's giggling, I concentrate my thoughts and channel prana into my magic circuit…
"Rho Aius!"
The impregnable shield burst forth from my outstretched hand, ramming into Tohsaka and Mordred, throwing them against the wall.
BAM! The force of impact wasn't great, but Tohsaka takes the brunt of it as she is behind Mordred. Both of them slide off the wall, while Tohsaka releases her grip on Mordred. I quickly run to the bed and help Mordred up. Tohsaka is still sprawled on the bed, not seriously hurt but definitely dazed from the sudden impact.
"Tohsaka what the hell were you thinking?" I question her angrily as she slowly pushes herself up from the bed.
"Shirou…you BAKA...I was so close to getting her to climax!" Tohsaka scolds me as if I was the one at fault.
"Why would you want that?"
"You BAKA! Since you don't want to sleep with her, I was going to insert some fluid containing prana into her to help her recharge, but to do that I need to insert it as she climaxes! Now it's all ruined thanks to you, BAKA!"
W-what was that…
Oh, wait, what Tohsaka is saying is true, just like that time with her…but that means…
"Tohsaka, you were doing that…to help me?"
"Of course you BAKA!" Tohsaka is really angry now as she throws a pillow straight at my face.
WHOOSH! I manage to evade the incoming projectile.
"I…I'm sorry! I didn't know!" I try my best to sound sincere and apologise.
"You BAKA! Can't you even take a joke like that?"
Another pillow. I let it hit me square in the face, hoping that it will make Tohsaka feel better.
It didn't, more random objects from around the room are flying in my direction.
"Dammit!" I jump, duck, roll and hide behind cover to evade the incoming cutlery, cushions, shoes, pieces of clothing and other stuff that are moving too fast to see clearly. About 30 seconds later, the barrage ends. Tohsaka has apparently run out of ammunition.
"Huff…huff…you…BAKA…" Tohsaka is panting heavily, being really exhausted from throwing all that stuff.
"Tohsaka I'm really sorry, ok? Can you just get it on with her again?"
"Master…no…" Mordred appears to have recovered enough to speak coherently.
"Mordred please, I know it is really wrong but it's for your own good!"
"You heard your Master, Mordred-chan," satisfied, Tohsaka turns her attention away from me and returns to Mordred, "time to play again!"
With that, she throws Mordred back onto the bed. Her magic circuit glows again, and what appears to be a ball with two straps on it materializes in her hand. She forces the ball into Mordred's mouth, then fastens the straps to her head.
"Mmmm! Mmmm!" Mordred cries out in vain as the gag muffles her voice.
"Now, where did we leave off?" Tohsaka playfully sticks her tongue out, then starts licking Mordred's inner thigh as the Servant squirms and shakes.
Dammit, my member is standing up already!
END OF GRAPHIC SITUATION, ALL READERS MAY CONTINUE FROM THIS SPOT ONWARDS
I'd better get out of here before I lose the little bit of self-control I have!
