This is a Fate Night and Re Zero Fan Fiction
As I delivered the materials to the magic association and went to report on my findings I found Edna waiting for me close by, I honestly don't know why she pretends as she does, I know full well a heroic spirit when I sense one.
"You wish to speak with me, Edna? If so, I was about to go to the cafeteria to buy myself some dinner, we can talk on our way there and while we eat. I know that working this late is liable to have caused you to miss your last meal or several." She smiled and nodded her head as we walked toward the cafeteria.
"It always seems strange that you can spout such horrible things, plan to do such terrible deeds on other people, and even kill with little regard to the victims, and yet you can be so considerate when you want to be. You are aware that a major magical situation is about to happen again, in your home country no less."
I finally reached the cafeteria, or what I rather call the buffet, the magical association provides free food for everyone that works or is tasked with doing some work outside of the association. Since this involved the protection of magic by keeping it secret on a global scale, it does tend to have magic users and practitioners from all over the world, so the food selections have to accommodate foods from around the world.
I often think they also do it, because eating the same thing over and over again might make people either homesick that they will want to leave or bored. Having perfected many skills to do my work as an assassin I knew better than picking complex dishes, the more complex the dish the easier it was for someone to hide a poison.
I picked a simple dish of rice, some soup, and some cooked fish, the lady that was with me however picked what otherwise would be called food that would be fit for royalty, The strange thing is they were things I knew how to cook myself. As we sat down I looked at her and took a sip of my tea, "If you are talking about the next Holy Grail War, then yes I am aware, and I know that I will participate as one of the seven. My cover story has already been established "
She took a bite from her food and smiled as she heard me, "I would imagine since you will be living once again in that town where your father still has his hidden base, you will pretend to be the godson of that old man who is the leader of the local yakuza clan than governs the area, I still don't know how you managed to prepare this privacy concealment charm before we got here, or how did you get that old man to trust you so much?"
I looked at her and could not help but to laugh, "The old man likes the thrill of riding his old motorcycle, as such I can use my skills to keep that old thing as good as new, the fact that the troublemakers I often deal with as also a headache to him and his clan does in fact help. Father introduced me to him when I was a child."
Tapping on the table I looked at her, "I prepared this privacy spell before I reported about my mission or took the things that were secured from the target. I knew the Holy Grail Wars was going to happen soon so I prepared in case you brought it up. I gather you are concerned about the fact that I have yet to summon my servant, I think about five of us have already done so."
She took a sip from my teacup and smiled at me with a very sultry smile, "I should know better than try to catch you unprepared, I am not merely concerned, I am mortified, you should have summoned your servant by now if only to work out the ground rules to avoid any misunderstandings. You should know this because I can sense you have participated in the Holy Grail War before."
I continued to eat my food while she spoke and listened to her, "Honestly Rider, I know you, as well as you know me, I will attempt to summon a servant as soon as I am back to my family home, but if the situation goes bad, I can always use the blade I have to summon Hanzo to be my servant, as a fellow Assassin, we should be able to get along rather well. You never did tell me why you wished to remain among the living, but I know better than ask something so intimate."
She looked unhappy to hear that I would summon Hanzo if I could not find a servant she and Hanzo did not get along, at all, "Well as much as I hate to say it, after my tragic life I was hoping to live a rather peaceful existence since I am no longer bound by the vestiges of time or death, which is why I wished to speak with you, how would you like to have me help you this time around in the coming Grail War? It could be rather fun, the two of us, working alone together fighting all of the other servants."
She looked like she was serious, "You might even be able to meet that childhood crush of yours, honestly if I didn't know the person was a woman I would have called you gay, having a crush on the heroic spirit of King Arthur of all people."
I nearly choked on my tea when she mentioned Saber of all people, she was the servant my father had summoned in his last Grail War. To me, Saber was an unearthly beauty, and having lived in the same house as her as she was my father's servant means we got along rather well. It doesn't help that I am the embodiment of the scabbard once hailed as Avalon. The sword and the scabbard are always drawn to each other, the sword attacks, and the scabbard protects.
"So you wish to form a contract with me Rider, I don't see the problem with that, it does however mean that you are going to have to give up the peaceful life you wanted so much, and could even risk being sent back with the other heroic spirits should we lose."
She laughed when she heard me say, "I wouldn't worry, I managed to live this long, and if I managed it once I can do so again, "As for the Servant Pact, that has already started, you know that drinking from the same cup as a young man it is practically called an indirect kiss. Now all I need is for you to take me back to your hotel room, and ravage me in a night of passion to become my Master."
I know I am blushing three shades of red right about now, damn these hormones, but did she have to say it in such a blunt manner. "I might disappoint, after all, I am not that experienced in that particular nighttime activity, but if that is the way you wish to form the pact so it shall be, but rather than ravage you, I think I rather treat you as a bride spending her first night with her husband in their honeymoon, I could do no less."
During the last of the meal, she was rather quiet about this, and apparently, she was thinking about it. I know she has had horrible memories of what was her first time on that cold stone floor of that temple, but I swear I shall not do as that person did to her, I shall do as promised, she will be treated as if she was my loving bride, and not some consort to be taken against her will.
As the meal ended we both left the association and I decided to hold her hand while we walked towards the hotel where the association had rented a room for me, on the way, I whispered sweet nothings in her ear, which made her blush at my compliments and slight kisses on her face, as she was about to enter the hotel front door I scooped her up from where she was standing till she was in a traditional bridal carry.
I walked into the hotel carrying her across the threshold as a husband carried his bride the first time they entered their home, she was leaning closer to my chest and tried to hide her blush, not that the receptionists didn't notice or were blushing themselves. She pushed the buttons to call the elevator and the floor.
"You know I can walk the rest of the way, why do you insist on continuing to carry me like this?" I looked at her and simply whispered that I would treat her as a bride on her honeymoon, and I was a man of my word. She relaxed and finally, she used her card to open the room, I walked in and placed her on the bed as if she was the most precious thing in the entire room.
As I kissed her lips and she returned the kiss, the sound of clothes being removed was heard in the room, as our frantic kissing, touching, and other shows of passionate affection happened, as she was the first person to finish getting out of her clothes I looked at her, and I could not help but to marvel at the sensuous figure that was lying on the bed with me.
As I finished laying kisses on her from the top of her head to the bottoms of her feet, she pulled me closer and we began to make love like this was the very last moment of our lives, like this was the single most precious moment and as passion took us over we continued to make love over and over again, didn't care about how much time has passed or how many positions we been through.
As the light of the next morning came through the window and illuminated our bodies, we were still going at it, and we did till I heard the clock strike twelve. As she laid on top of me with her head resting on my chest, her hair a mess, she smiled, "Had my first person who ever slept with me, treated me half as sweetly as you have my Master, I wouldn't have resisted his advances, you are indeed a man of your word, for I indeed felt like a bride on her honeymoon."
She simply let herself comfortably lay with me, "If I have to regret anything is that no child or children will result from our nightly activity and my sadness that I may not bear your child. You know who I am, and you know why I must wear these glasses or lenses I wear, so tell me master who am I?"
I looked at the ceiling and began to shake my head, "You are the woman who I just took as my partner, lover and if we had a ceremony before this wife, I honestly do not know what I did to deserve this, nor can I complain, sharing the bed and make love to the most beautiful of the gorgon sisters, I know who you are, and I know of your past, you can relax with me, I shall treat you as sweetly as you allow it."
She laughed and playfully slapped my chest, "Be careful on how sweetly you treat me Shirou, or I might change my wish to one that allows us to be a happily married couple, forever. I do wish we could have a few kids, call it motherly instincts if you will, but I am guessing you would be a rather good father to any children I wish we could have."
I looked at the ceiling, "In the Holy Grail War we can't have anything that can be perceived as a weakness, the other six masters will attempt to capitalize on any advantage they may have. So sadly I will coldly treat you while we prosecute this coming war. I shall treat you better in private."
She laughed as he looked at me, "You are wise to realize this, but worry not, I understand, and if you are true to your word, we might have a few more nights like our previous night in our future." Well, at least that is one thing to look forward to. One thing that I am not looking forward to is having to fight Saber.
As we got out of the room and changed into casual clothes, "Mister Emiya, a moment if you please, a few of our customers have complained about something, so an explanation is in order, and I have a few items that the association left for you. But first, our customers complained about a lack of better term loud noises coming from your room, care to explain?"
I looked at the man, clearly middle-aged, and his hand still had his wedding band, "Must I embarrass my wife by answering what was our honeymoon? You are married, as I see your wedding band on your hand, must I explain to you why we were so loud during our honeymoon?" This made the man quiet for a second, and a couple of the receptionists giggle as they heard what I said.
"I see, so that is why you were carrying that lady you were seen with entering this establishment, no, I don't believe any further explanations are needed, as, for the items, I have new international pass cards and a plane ticket for two. I gather that this trip is a continuation of your honeymoon." I looked at the man still in a very much serious manner and told him it was an association business trip actually, and since we both work for it, he does well to keep that a secret.
I got the four items and walked over to Rider, "our plane tickets we better hurry, or we will be late and miss our plane." I told her that I was not worried in the slightest, if we were late, she could always summon Pegasus, and give me some time to spend with my new stepson, which made her laugh as we got in the car and she began to drive us towards the airport.
Some men might complain that they should drive, but knowing who is currently driving the car, I can honestly say that I could not feel safer and certain that we will reach our destination as I am riding this car while she is behind the wheel. The only thing I can say is I pity the poor bastards that try to stop her by making up a false traffic violation, the lady may be wearing denim pants, a silk blouse, boots, and tinted glasses, but I know better, she is as beautiful as she is deadly.
The car ride was short, they don't say she is a rider for nothing it seems, she avoided traffic and cut our time like she knew the streets like the back of her hand. I had no luggage, and no metal detector is going to find any weapons on either one of us, since I stored them all in a dimensional pocket. "Tickets please." She handed our tickets, "Mrs. Emiya, papers seem in order and your plane shall be leaving in twenty minutes from Aisle 26 which can be found rather easily if you follow that sign, is this young man your little brother?"
I wish this idiot hadn't said that "No, this is my husband." She pulled me close and we kissed like a couple that had been married for years. What is it with receptionists giggling like schoolgirls when they see a public display of affection? I will never get used to it.
"My apologize Mister Emiya, I do hope that you do not hold this against me or our airline, I do hope you and your wife have a pleasant trip." I am wishing we had summoned Pegasus instead of dealing with this. I told him to think nothing of it and I put my hand around her waist and we began to walk away from the terminal headed towards the Aisle where we would board our plane.
"No need to be jealous Shirou, I am not going anywhere, but I have to admit that seeing you act like a jealous husband was making me feel rather happy. Now let's find a nice comfortable seat where we can sit together, and you can tell me all about that hometown of yours. I have been there before, but I am rather interested to see if it has changed since the time I was there last."
I found one that was right by the lady that would announce when the plane was ready to be boarded, "I wouldn't worry too much, this is Japan, changes are expected, last I recall we have a new mass transit system, new shopping center and maybe a few movie theaters have opened, but in large not much has changed, the temple on the hill still guards the ley line and for the most part we will be too busy fighting in the war to enjoy much sightseeing."
"I imagine our main problems will be the three founding families, the Matou is not the most pleasant of people in general, they can be rather cutthroat in their approach, the Tohsaka treat this more of a business conflict than anything else, and the Einzbern's I don't think they will be happy to see me back or at least I don't think my stepsister will be happy to see me with my blushing bride."
This made her smile, and laugh a little, "I am well familiar with their tactics, and we shall deal with foreign mages rather quickly given your talents as an assassin. What can you tell me about this supposed stepsister of yours, you never mentioned her,"
I looked at her and could not help but to feel sad for some strange reason, "My father was in a contract to marry the daughter of the Einzbern family, and do so to produce a child, as far as I know, the marriage ended in not so friendly terms when that did not occur, and the stepsister was produced in other means. I never met her, but I don't imagine she will be pleased to meet me."
I felt her hand take mine to provide emotional support. "You have nothing to worry about Shirou, for I am here for you, now come on, we need to board the plane, they are calling for us to board. I will not lie I am looking forward to seeing how sturdy the bed is in the main bedroom in the Emiya Estate."
Well the fact that she could turn into her spirit form thanks to the connection to my mana was convenient, to say the least, I know she is still there, and I can mentally communicate with her but did she need to sit on my lap the entire time while on the plane? I mean there is tempting a guy to join the mile-high club, and then there is her rubbing herself against a guy while sitting on his lap, and I was having a seriously hard time trying to keep a serious look on my face.
It is not easy let me tell you, for at least an hour I was about to go to the bathroom lock the door inside and just fuck her like this was a scene in an adult video. I must not draw attention to myself, the holy grail war is about to start and there is no telling how many people on the plane will end up being competitive in this rather gruesome tournament, and coming from an assassin that is saying something.
At long last, we managed to land, get through customs, get our luggage and managed to get a taxi that was not either insane, greedy, or both, "So this is Fuyuki City, I have to admit it has changed quite a bit since the last time I was part of the last grail war. You know there used to be an old theater over there, not a movie theater no, an actual theater with actual actors and plays. If I had anything to complain about is that they did love their Greek tragedies a little too much for my liking."
I looked at her and nodded my head, "Not surprising, you are one of those Greek Tragedies yourself. Well, I better pay for the taxi since we have arrived back at my family home." The man began to laugh and looked at the house before he simply smiled, "No need to worry about paying me, and no I am not a taxi, I had to pretend to be one to help you remain incognito, your godfather sent me to pick you up, and yes he is happy you are back in your hometown."
Well, that explains why he knew the way to get to my family home so quickly, "Be sure to tell him that if he needs any help to send me a message, and I will help him like always." As the man helped us finish carrying out luggage he got in the car and said that he will do that. He took off and I was wondering why did she have to pack like this, my dimensional pocket is nearly infinite in size, I can store an ungodly amount of things in it.
"Well, let's get these clothes in our closet, and then you can give me the grand tour of Casa Emiya," I swear that for a second there I had a brief urge to say Yes, Dear, but no matter, might as well get settled home before I have to go to the local high school to register as my cover story for being in the city. Never mind that two of the seven masters should be present there, Matou and Tohsaka, one was a boy who was my bully through middle school, and the other was a girl named Rin who avoided me like a plague.
As I helped her put away her clothes, she teased me about wanting to try our new bed. As we walked into the kitchen we began hearing some noise as if someone was cooking something on the old gas stove and we decided to see who it was, the door is protected from infiltration by some complex magical seals that would only let people in who were authorized.
"Well teacher, you have to admit that if I didn't take care of this place, Shirou would not have a home to return to, I just want my childhood friend to have a place to come back home to after he returns from studying abroad." Rider decides to go into her spirit form. As I walk into the kitchen clearing my throat.
I find that the people in the kitchen were a childhood friend named Sakura and a family friend that he knows as Taiga, a teacher at the local school. "Taiga could you please try and relax, I just got back to the country, and it is nice to see you Sakura after so long. Now if you two don't mind, I need to start cooking something special for dinner."
Sakura seemed to be curious about what has changed in his life after so long, I was cooking some fish while she kept asking questions about what I had been doing, I could not tell her the actual answers, who would tell her that I had been going around killing people that violate the laws of the magical association.
"I have not been doing anything that strange I went to the same company as that my father used to work for and I had to take over his position in the company, it was pretty hard to get used to but once I got used to it thanks to the help I got from my lover, I got pretty good at doing that job, but I had to return here on an extended leave of absence."
As I said this, Rider shows up in a rather casual-looking outfit, "Wait? Why do you have a lover? How long have you been going out with each other?" Rider looks at Sakura who is upset about something and she smiles at her trying to get her to calm down, but she can tell that she is not happy to find out that she was my lover.
"We have been going out since he took over his dad's old job, and since we are a part of the same team we tended to spend a lot of time together and we eventually got closer, we started dating, and eventually we began to live together and he might say that I am his lover, but I rather say that I am his common-law wife."
