Okay, it's been awhile since an update but hey, that's how things go when your muse hits a brick wall and tries to break through it with their forehead (silly muse).

Well... review time:

BBWulf: I've actually been thinking of doing that since I finished the first arc... however things would be different in execution so it wouldn't just be the same concept being rehashed by me in an attempt at making it more serious.

Darkjaden: Shirou doesn't need a reality marble since he can just do whatever he wants anyway... so even if he does have one lying about in that black hole he calls a head, he doesn't have a reason to find it.

AzureNight1994: I would just like to point out, that this fic isn't meant to be good, just a bit of light fun that you can read for a few giggles every now and then (hence, why I try to keep the chapters and arcs short).

Yinko: I already mentioned that this arc was inspired by In Flight so it wasn't much of a revelation for people that stuck all the way through that.

Anyway, that's all for now, so on with the Chappy!

Shirou found himself releasing a sigh as he walked through the streets of Shinto Teito with his siblings, both biological and adopted, on the way to a mall.

He honestly didn't understand why Yukari had declared that they should go but Ilya had been so enamoured with the idea that he simply couldn't bring himself to refuse.

So here he was, walking along the street while everyone stared at the group… not that he could blame them given that Herakles was walking behind them in a dark black business suit.

And right next to him was Lancer, wearing a pair of denim jeans, white t-shirt and an open yellow shirt over it.

So the group was standing out quite a bit compared to the rest of the crowd.

"What's wrong Onii-chan?" Ilya asked him upon hearing his sigh of exasperation.

"Do you mean outside of the fact Lancer is recording us on his phone?" he answered bluntly, honestly he didn't understand why the guy was filming them right now.

"Yeah… why is he doing that anyway?" Minato asked with clear uncertainty in his voice, only for the blue haired man to grin in response.

"Because something big happened with him not long ago… if his luck holds true then he'll probably be adding more girls to his harem during this trip," that seemed to make the Sahashi's stumble in surprise while Shirou released a sigh and Ilya…

"Yep, that sounds about right," Ilya was siding with Lancer on this matter much to Shirou's consternation.

"Ilya-chan! I am not going to increase the number of girls I'm with… I've got too many girlfriends already!" he stated with a certain sense of desperation in his tone as he thought of how much worse things would get between the girls he knew if any more started trying to compete for his time and attention.

"Hehehe, that's what you said before Sella and Leysritt joined… and then Lorelei joined," Lancer started to list off while Shirou found himself deflating at each reminder, "and then the only reason that Luvia girl isn't with you as well is because she and Rin keep fighting whenever they're near each other."

"Lancer… please stop talking about that sort of stuff," he pleaded with his eyes, sure he could easily give all his servants a command to obey him but outside of Gilgamesh and Angra Mainyu he didn't really have any reason to do so… plus despite how much Lancer loved to watch him flail about like a fish in a desert, they did have a sort of brotherly relationship with each other.

"Hehehe…" he felt a shiver run down his spine at the small giggle that escaped his biological sister's mouth, it sounded a bit too much like Rin when she was feeling especially perverted, "so he keeps adding more girls to his harem? He sounds like an anime hero!"

"Nah, he gets more action than those losers," Lancers response made Shirou splutter indignantly before he managed to find his voice.

"LANCER!" seriously, why was that guy so focused on his personal life?

"Don't worry Onii-chan!" his biological sister stated with a fist bump, "that just makes you a hentai protagonist!"

Shirou found the colour draining from his face at her declaration.

"Y-Y-Yukari!" it appeared that his brother was just as against her statement as he was.

"What?" the youngest of the group asked in confusion before her eyes widened in realization, "oh! Of course!"

He did not like that look on her face.

"Every hentai protagonist needs an Imouto!" Shirou once again found himself spluttering at her declaration, thankfully his brother seemed just as put off by her words as he was.

"That's right!" his eyes widened in terror as Ilya agreed with his other sister, "welcome aboard Onee-chan!"

"NO! ILYA! NO! JUST NO!" he stated loudly, "I am not sleeping with my biological sister!"

"Hehe," he proceeded to glare at Lancer for his small laugh before realizing that his outburst had managed to make them the centre of attention in the street.

"Uh…" he didn't know what to say to the people that were currently staring at them.

"Come on Onii-chan, just look at her," he found his attention drawn back towards Ilya who proceeded to quickly start patting down his sister while pointing out certain points that each made him more and more embarrassed to be in a public area, "she's short, pettanko, cute with short hair and she can fill the role of little sister."

"Because she is my little sister," he pointed out bluntly.

"Exactly," Ilya seemed almost proud as she made that point, "since I'm not so little anymore, you need an Imouto!"

"Ilya... no!" he stated bluntly, "I don't need an Imouto."

"B-but Onii-chan…" Yukari was putting on a hurt expression at his claim, "don't you love me?"

"Yukari," he started only to be cut off by Ilya again.

"Don't worry Imouto!" the white haired girl said enthusiastically, "he's just being tsun tsun right now! Give him a bit of time and he'll be dere dere with you!"

"Ilya…" this was really getting annoying now, "just stop."

"But Onii-chan… you need an Imouto in your harem," the white haired woman said with a disdainful expression, "no anime protagonist is complete without an Imouto in their harem."

"Ilya, this isn't an anime," he pointed out bluntly.

"Perhaps for us," the white haired girl responded with a grin, "but imagine all those people in parallel universes that are watching or reading this."

Shirou found himself almost cringing at that concept.

Given that Rin was currently learning the Kaleidoscope off that old geezer she made sure everyone knew at least the basics of the operation of parallel worlds and what that meant.

Like for example, there was quite likely a hentai doujin somewhere that detailed his nights with his 'harem' and that thought made him uncomfortable whenever he thought about it.

"Hehe…" Yukari however seemed almost giddy at the implications, "parallel worlds… I want to see one… can you imagine how amazing it would be to see real magic?!"

His thoughts were cut short by the snort that came from Lancer as the group continued to walk to their next destination.

"Uh… Lancer-san… we don't know that parallel worlds aren't real," Minato finally spoke out again and Shirou noted that the boy's face was redder than his own hair.

Shirou found himself inwardly sighing at the complete misunderstanding and just how easy it was to make.

"Yo, boss man… someone's heading this way," his mind switched modes as he heard Lancer make that declaration.

Lancer never mentioned something like that without reason, the guy was pretty easy going for the most part and just liked to laze around, drink beer, fish and fight.

But that didn't change the fact that he was literally a legendary warrior whose name echoed throughout the Millennia and if he noticed someone coming their way that meant that person was at least worthy of being wary around.

"Well, I have to admit, I wasn't expecting someone to pick me out so easily," a feminine voice called out easily and Shirou found himself looking at a vaguely familiar woman with grey hair tied into a ponytail, a tight black bodysuit and a white Haori draped over her shoulders.

Oh and there was also a sword at her hip but that was quickly dismissed as he noted the quality was low enough it could be warped by the very existence of a noble phantasm touching it.

"Oh… you're Takami-san's friend aren't you?" Ilya noted with an amused grin, "are you here to join Onii-chan's Harem too?"

That question seemed to stall the woman for a second as her face started to flush red.

"Sorry about that, Ilya-chan seems to be obsessed with increasing the number of girlfriends I have…" Shirou explained to the woman, "even if that girl is my sister."

"I'm your sister too," the white haired girl stated with a grin.

"By adoption… Yukari's my sister by blood," he pointed out with a frown.

"Which is why I say she should join," the red eyed woman stated with a firm nod.

"And I keep saying, no," the redhead stated firmly before turning his attention back to the non-human with grey hair… he was pretty sure she wasn't an apostle or a servant… or a magi, or a True Magician… or a True Ancestor, or a demon and she definitely was not an Aristotle like the ORT.

Then he noted the way she was flushed red and he decided to try and change the focus of the conversation.

"Anyway, what did you want to see us for?" he asked with curiosity plaguing his mind at her decision to confront him.

"Well… when my boss found out you were in town he demanded that I stay as far away from you as possible," she stated with a suspicious smirk, "he seemed almost terrified of you."

Shirou's mind instantly moved to a single conclusion, the only person in the city that should know who his group was would be the Second Owner, which meant the man was currently hiding the existence of a non-human species from the rest of the Clocktower.

But the first order of business was to confirm that his conclusion was correct.

"Does your boss happen to be Hiroto Minaka?" all he needed was a single confirmation and then he would have a quick chat with the rest over the current situation.

"… Are you stupid?" the woman didn't sound at all impressed with him at his question, "of course he is, I work for MBI after all."

"MBI? That sounds familiar," he found himself muttering as he tried to remember exactly where he knew that name from.

"Giant multi-national technology conglomerate founded by Hiroto Minaka," Ilya stated with a grin, "we've got a few appliances of theirs."

"Oh, right… wait, don't you work with my mom?" he found himself asking the grey haired woman who was now looking at him as if he had just grown another head.

"Yes," the grey haired woman in black stated as her breathing started to become laboured.

Seriously, was he really making her that angry with his general ignorance concerning mundane politics and technological advancements? Seriously, given how pretty much everyone outside of Sakura, Ilya and a few of the Servants accidentally fried nearly every piece of tech they got, he felt he had a right to not worry too much about it.

Though admittedly, Rin and Lorelei tended to be the worst… though at least in Lorelei's case, she meant to tear the computer to pieces with her magecraft, Rin didn't have that excuse.

"So that means that my mom works under Minaka…" he trailed off as he noted that little fact.

"She prefers to be on top," the woman with the haori stated with a smirk, "in more ways than one."

"Ah, I thought she didn't seem like the sort of person that let others boss her around," Shirou admitted as he noted another thing that made his mother remind him more and more of the queen of the Clocktower.

The smirk that plastered the woman's face fell as he made that claim and he found himself wondering what caused such a reaction.

"Did you just ignore what I just implied?" the grey haired woman asked in surprise as Shirou noticed the blushing faces of his biological siblings.

"More like he didn't even notice," Lancer stated with a roguish grin, "when Ilya there first stuck her tongue down his throat, he thought she was just thanking him for something he did for her."

"Uh… Lancer…" he groaned out in defeat as everyone that didn't know about that event yet stared at him as if they had never seen anything like him before.

"Are you serious?" Minato sounded like he couldn't believe his ears.

"Yeah, the kid's dense enough to make black holes look like hot air balloons," the Irishman stated with his grin still in place.

"Lancer…" once again he found himself groaning in defeat.

"But hey, here's the important part boss-man," the blue haired man spoke once again, "she was saying your mom's been having sex with Minaka."

His mom had been having sex with Hiroto Minaka?

"How close are they?" he decided to ask and he found the grey haired woman once again staring at him as if she had never seen him before.

"Close enough to fuck each other," the woman in black stated with a grin.

"Prostitutes aren't close to their clients," he pointed out and the woman seemed to lose her grin yet again.

"Are you accusing your own mother of being a prostitute?" she was clearly surprised by his response and he decided he needed to explain his reasoning properly.

"No, I'm just saying that you don't need to be close to have sex," it was a simple point and he decided he might need to continue, "and for all I know, it could just be a case of relieving tension."

"Onii-chan… you're not supposed to be so comfortable talking about our parents like this," Yukari spoke up and was actually going against the talk of their mother… wait… she didn't say mother.

"So… Minaka's our father?" he asked her with a raised eyebrow and the nod he got in exchange caused him to re-evaluate the situation.

Nope, nothing changed.

The second owner was his father and was letting non-humans run around the city, potentially putting people at risk and he wasn't regulating them well enough to ensure no-one learned about the existence of magecraft.

All that was left to be answered was if Takami knew about Minaka being a magus and how much his siblings knew.

"Well, thanks for the information…" he said to the non-human woman before realizing his biggest mistake of the conversation, "oh… sorry, I guess I forgot to ask you your name."

"Karasuba," that was her only answer as her breathing continued to grow even more laboured and her face flushed even more.

"All right, then thank you for your time Karasuba-san but we have something we need to do now," he stated before he prepared to turn around.

"Oh? You didn't seem to be particularly busy before," she stated with her grin still in place.

"Ah, but the information you gave us has changed things, so we have to speak with the others and decide on our next course of action," he informed her easily.

"Is that so?" she sounded almost despondent at his declaration.

"Hehe, listen here little girl," he found himself looking at Lancer as the legendary hero walked up to her and continued his speech, "you'll have to take the direct route if you want in that numbskulls pants."

And with that the man pushed her towards him and the next thing he knew, he felt a soft pair of lips meet his own as the woman's eyes snapped open in shock and most importantly… giant wings of dark light erupted from her back and drew the attention of everyone in the local vicinity.

She removed her lips from his slowly as her mind seemed to process what had just happened before a single sentence escaped her lips.

"Oh crap."

XXX XXX XXX

Minaka couldn't stop himself from worrying his lip as he tried to think of a way out of his current situation.

He hadn't expected Emiya Shirou and his entourage to arrive in Shinto Teito… honestly that group was feared by pretty much everyone including the Twenty Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors for a reason, what with how there were nine servants with unlimited Prana, two servant level Homunculus's, Zelretch's student and an Einzbern that had managed to wishcraft herself the Heavens Feel.

And that wasn't even including the fact that the Queen of the Clocktower herself was in bed with them and the Master of the Blue always ran away in case the last Emiya managed to seduce her… he had heard that she had been grooming a boy several years ago but those rumours were insubstantial and mentioning them around her tended to get you blown up.

Still, the fact that he had discovered that the boy was his missing biological son was quite the discovery and he had felt pride well up that his flesh and blood had become one of the major players in the world (in more ways than one).

However, that also drew even more attention onto him and he needed to make sure the boy never associated him with the Sekirei, if he could just keep the boys exposure to a minimum and ensure he never found out that he was running a tournament about them then he might just live through this visit.

Beep Beep

His eyes widened at the beeping that indicated he had a new email and he opened up his inbox and looked.

Ah, it was an automated email informing him about a new winging, he always loved seeing those as they gave him a chance to act in his overly grandiose CEO persona.

Opening the file he was greeted by information that made his skin pale and his heart stop in terror.

Karasuba had just been winged to Emiya Shirou.

In the end, there was only one reaction he could give to that…

"FFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK!"
