Speech: "Like this"
Thoughts: 'No like this'
Chapter 3
Creak.
As we walk into the house, I stop at the entrance to take it all in. I'm not good at describing things, but the feeling you get from being in this house is…..wrong. It's like in a horror movie when the thief is breaking into someone's house, and after a few minutes, you find the clearest sign that you get out, and the music sets that horror tone? That's what I'm feeling right now. 'I don't have to debate on this one, first chance I get; I'm burning this place to the ground.'
I blink as I get the feeling of eyes on me. I look up at the top of the stairs that I'm pretty sure I fell off of, and I see Zouken and Sakura. Zouken is a bald man hunched over, wearing plain black and green robes, holding a walking stick and black eyes. Those are some of the evilest eyes I have ever seen. Sakura looks precisely the same from FZ down to the clothes, but her eyes are the deadest thing here. She has completely given up on life at this point.
"Hello Shinji, I am glad to see you well and out of the hospital; I am your grandfather Zouken, and this is your younger sister Sakura."
"Hello." That is all she says before going quiet again. "Uh…..hi….." 'How can this be awkward and creepy at the same time?' "It's nice to meet you." Before somebody could say anything else, Zouken cut in, "That's enough for now come now, Sakura; it's time for training."
"Yes, grandfather" And with that, they turn around to walk away. "um, training?" I ask, keeping up the act. Zouken, turning back, says, "That is right, you do have amnesia; Byakuya, show him to his room and explain what's going on." After saying his piece Zouken turns back around, and they take their leave.
"Follow me, Shinji." He leaves without waiting for a response from me, and I hurry after him.
Laying on the soft bed provides little comfort from the situation I find myself in. When Byakuya told me about the Matou family history, he gave me the bare bones of an explanation before leaving to go back to drinking himself to death.
'Since I have the time, I should come up with something to do; I finally found out that I'm eight years old, so I have nine years to prepare to kill Zouken, save Sakura, try to help Illya, and try to put some common sense in Shirou. Since I can't use magecraft, I could start testing it the Emiya way and use my nerves as circuits, it won't do much in the grand scheme of things, but it will help in running away from servants; would my nerves be able to sustain a servant?...questions for later. I should start working out to get some gains that will be beneficial to me. No, even if I work out, it won't put me on par with any of the masters except maybe Shirou….' I let out a long, suffering sigh as I walk into the bathroom and take a shower.
After having a long relaxing shower, I've come to a decision I am going to go the Emiya route Shirou and Kiritsugu; I will use my nerves as circuits and find some way to train in using guns and making explosives, but again, unless I have something that can take out a mages magic then I will only be able to catch them by surprise…..unless….. "oh my god i'm so stupid, how could I forget about that?" I look around the room once more in frustration before putting on some clothes and going down to the kitchen. 'I can use Kiritsugu's gun to take Zouken and Kirei out and probably Medea too. Hopefully, he still has some origin rounds left.' And with that last decision made, let's get something to eat.
