Kyusoku was not having a good time of things right now. Currently he was pinned to a wall by another magus who had him beat in every possible way. Danzou looked to be actively restraining herself from cutting her throat open, and he didn't really blame her. He was very much questioning whether or not this woman wanted to blow his face off.

"Your name."

"Kyusoku Dangan."

"Servant?"

"To me, it sounds as if I'm the servant, and you're the master."

"I suggest you don't sass me." the Gandr moved closer to his chest.

He huffed. "Assassin."

A cold smirk appeared on her lips. "Servant name?"

"That's ridiculous."

"You aren't in any position to bargain."

Fuck.

He had to get out of this situation, and fast. He pulled a flashbang off of his utility belt. He truly was thankful she never noticed.

"Sorry, but my servant and I have to go. I hope you appreciate the parting gift."

He dropped the flash.

"Wha-"

The familiar sound of a flashbang going off caused his ears to ring but he wasn't focused on that.

He ran like all of his sins were coming to haunt him. And who knows, maybe they were.

He bolted off into the forest nearby. Danzou was already catching up.

He really wished he hadn't made enemies this fast.


Archer wasn't surprised anymore at Rin yelling frantically at him through their telepathic link.

'Archer help! There's another master and servant running through the woods near Shirou's house! I don't know where their going, but if we let them regroup, thing could go from bad to worse!'

'Alright, are you in the forest?'

'Not yet, why?'

'Don't go in at all. I'm going to flush them out.

'How?'

'Just watch.'

He had wanted to test this attack combination for a long time.

"Trace on."


Katou wasn't thinking before she moved to protect her master. By the time her thoughts caught up to her, he was already dodging the endless rain of arrows and blades to the best of his ability.

By that she means he was desperately dodging to the best of his ability, his body being torn apart by countless swords and arrows alike. That went against her directive, she was supposed to be protecting him, but he would jump out of her reach every single time. It was as if he didn't want to be helped.

"Master. Please accept my assistance."

"Nah, I'm good! Worry about yourself for now. The lady's archer is probably trying to get us out and corner us both, so let's make this even. Split up."

"Are you-"

"Trust me. I've got a good distraction."

She wasn't very fond of his idea, but the way he said to trust him made her feel reassured, even though this was probably a bad idea.

He threw one of the odd canisters he called a "flashbang" with green lines on it, up into the

The next thing she, and everyone else in Fuyuki City knew, the world exploded in a brilliant white.
