Hello there.
I had a new chapter ready for you.
I want to thank Fenerath for his help and support with this story. Some of the parts that you will see in this chapter were edited by him.
Also I want to recommend you this ficc: The Dragon Container by NarHina. It is based on a challenge that I upload some time ago in the Naruto section of this site.
Finally I want to ask you about one thing. What would you think about using the introduction part of the first chapter of this ficc to make the Fate Stay Night characters appear in others universe? Like Familiar of the Zero, because I believe that it will be the first crossover that use more than one characters of FSN universe. Another option could be made the not only reappears in Naruto Universe, but made them reborn as members of the Uzumaki clan or others clans, but keeping their own powers and memories. Those are some of the ideas that I had for future projects.
But if some of you do not want to wait and want to write the story yourselves, just send me a PM to follow the story and I will send you the first chapter so you can modify it and began your own version.
Now with the chapter.
Saegusa's Mansion
It was late at night, and yet Mayumi was still awake. After she arrived home and was received by her family, she had to tell them that she was fine around 20 times before they believed it, especially her younger twin siblings. Now, she couldn't sleep because the events of what happened kept repeating themselves in her head. She knew that she lost her hand while saving that little girl, and she knew that it wasn't an illusion, yet Tatsuya managed to do something that not even the best healing spell could do. Yes, she knew that she didn't know as much about Thaumaturgy as she did with Modern Magic, but she was sure that such a powerful magic would have been public knowledge by now.
Raising the hand that she should have lost, and seeing it against the moonlight that came in through her window, she began to remember the way that he had held her and made her feel that everything was alright. She remembered how, for a moment, she had waited for a kiss before she died. But she didn't die, or got the kiss, and the memory only made her blush. However, she tried to ignore the feeling that she had at that moment. So far, she had been only playing a game with Tatsuya, but now, each time that she thought about, him she got this feeling that she had never had before.
"No, it can't be. That only happens in movies and novels." she said in low voice, trying to deny what she felt. But one thing was clear, she would get Tatsuya to explain to her what happened, and one thing that was for sure was that she would get her answer.
While this was happening, in the Emiya mansion Tatsuya was thinking about the day's events, but far from having a romantic feeling from them, he could only say, "I'm so screwed." He was still trying to understand why he did what he did. Now, one of his biggest secrets, one of his family's secrets, is in danger, and it was his fault and he knew it. Maybe if he had just stabilized her and waited until help arrived, he wouldn't be in this position, yet everything that he had learned from his family told him that he did the right thing. If only he could ease this feeling that his actions would have consequences. The worst part was that he couldn't determinate if the consequences would be good or bad. But he was sure of one thing; he needed to keep this a secret from everyone. If his sisters managed to find out what he did for Mayumi, they would never let him hear the end of it.
The next day, at the First Magic High School, Mayumi was walking down the halls with one objective in mind, finding Tatsuya and making him explain just what happened the previous day. She was so focused on her task that she almost didn't hear a familiar voice calling for her.
"Mayumi," said Suzune from behind her, in the company of Miyuki. "Are you ok? I tried to contact you last night when I heard the news, especially since I knew that you had to go to that mall as part of your errands."
"I'm fine. I was lucky that the criminal was taken down so fast."
"What about Tatsuya?" asked a worried Miyuki, who almost added the 'oni-sama' title to his name.
"He was in the line of a food store when the attack happened. He hurried up to come back to our table, but by then the enemy was taken down." answered Mayumi, hoping that they would believe the story.
"But a mage of your level wouldn't have any problems with just a mere criminal." added Suzune, sounding not too convinced.
"One little kid was in the line of fire, so I had to protect her. Once she was safe, I turned to face the culprit, but he was already down."
"But who defeated him?" asked Miyuki.
"I'm sorry, but I can't talk about that." said Mayumi, trying to keep her promise to Tatsuya. When she saw the looks in the eyes of her two friends, she decided to change the topic. "By the way, you wouldn't believe which teachers I saw before the incident, walking hand in hand in a very romantic way."
"Two of our teachers?" asked Miyuki.
"There are no rules that say that two teachers can't date each other." said Suzune in a logical manner. What very few knew however, was that deep down, she was a romantic girl who dreamed of having a great and passionate romance. So deep inside, she was very interested in the story.
"Could it be Ono-sensei?" asked Miyuki. After all, she was young and beautiful, so it was only natural for her to have a relationship.
"It would be nice if she was, but no, she wasn't." answered Mayumi, happy to see that her trick worked and now Suzune and Miyuki had changed the topic. "It was Shirou-sensei, and you wouldn't believe who he was walking hand in hand with like two love birds yesterday."
"If you're talking about Sakura-sensei, then I already know about their engagement." said Miyuki, remembering that fateful night when that woman attacked the Yotsuba mansion by herself. She had introduced herself as Ito Sakura, soon to be Emiya Sakura. When she encountered her again in the school and met Shirou-sensei, she knew from the way that the woman looked at him that he was the one that she spoke about on that occasion. A small part of her felt happy that the woman that cared for her brother found true love, especially because that meant that she wouldn't look at her brother that way.
"Engagement? Are you sure that it's Sakura and Shirou who're the ones that are engaged?" asked Mayumi with a worried expression which her old friend saw.
"Is something wrong?" asked Suzune.
"I hope not, but it'll be for the best that we talk about this in a private place." said Mayumi in a serious tone.
A few minutes later, they were alone in the student council room. There, Mayumi proceeded to tell them about what she saw the previous day.
"He was with Rin-sensei?" asked Suzune.
"But, isn't she Sakura-sensei's big sister?" added Miyuki.
"I didn't have much contact with Shirou-sensei, but he didn't look like a two timer. But now he's cheating on his girlfriend, with her sister none the less." said Mayumi with a disappointed look on her face. "Poor Sakura-sensei. When she learns about this double betrayal by her boyfriend and sister, she'll be devastated."
In her mind, Miyuki saw a caring Tatsuya attempting to console a crying Sakura, and then one thing lead to another, and soon… NO! She had to stop that from happening.
"We have to do something! We can't let Sakura-sensei suffer like this." said Miyuki with strength.
"But, this is their personal lives. We shouldn't get involved in that," said Suzune.
"I'm afraid that it's more than that. So far, we're the only magic high school that has real teachers for the Second Course. If this situation gets out of control, we may lose that, or even cause a scandal considering who the people involved in this situation are." added Mayumi.
The three of them knew that what Mayumi said was true, so they decided to talk with Shirou in private. They'd do the same later with Rin in order to not make them feel threatened. They were going wait until after classes, because they knew that the road from the new building of Thaumaturgy studies to the parking lot where the teachers leave their vehicles would force him to go through the trees that acted like a mini partition for the students. There was a part that was isolated, and if they moved fast they could get to Shirou before the other girls arrived. After the three of them agreed on their action plan, they left to attend to their classes, but in the case of Mayumi, she still had a very important meeting that she didn't want to miss.
It was during the hour of self-study that Mayumi asked Tatsuya to see her. Because the First and Second Course classes had their self-study times at different hours, that meant that all of the other members of the Student Council would be in class, and Tatsuya, being the only Second Course member of the council, would be free. With her being the President of the Student Council, she could excuse herself to attend an important matter that she had to attend as the President. Now, the two of them were alone in the Student Council room.
"I believe that you own me an explanation, Tatsuya-kun." said Mayumi, after she confirmed that they were alone.
Tatsuya had been thinking about this moment ever since the incident took place, trying to find an explanation that would satisfy Mayumi's curiosity, and keep his powers secret. He found none. Resigning himself, he took a deep breath and began.
"Mayumi, as a member of the Master Clans, you know the reality of magicians. The stronger or more special they are, the less liberty they have. So you would understand why I have to keep my powers a secret."
Mayumi couldn't deny Tatsuya's logic, she knew that for magicians stronger than B rank, it's impossible for them to leave their countries, and their movements are observed all the time. But still, she had some questions that needed answers.
"I see your point, but with that magic you could gain more political power for your family, and get a good position in the Magic Association."
"The Emiya family has never cared too much for political power. We try to improve the world in our own way, and that sometimes conflicts with what politicians want, so we just ignore them. As for my power, they just want for me to have a normal life, so they allowed me to choose what to do with my powers. So I chose to hide them."
"I understand your family's point of view, but a power like yours could save thousands of lives if you shared it with the world."
Tatsuya took a moment to gather the strength to give her the final piece of information about his skill.
"Mayumi-chan," said Tatsuya with a serious tone of voice. "A power that makes injures disappear like they never existed, do you believe that such a power would come without a price?"
Mayumi's expression changed when she understood what he meant. He had to pay a price to save her, to restore her as she was before the attack.
"In order to restore your body to what it was before you got hurt, I had to read your information in the Eidos. I can read information in the Eidos for up to 24 hours, and I can read all about the information of any person or object, but unfortunately, I also read the pain that they suffer, and experience it for myself."
When Mayumi heard that, she couldn't avoid raising her hands and placing them over her mouth. She couldn't believe what Tatsuya did for her. They may know each other and play games to try to outsmart the other, but he didn't have to make that sacrifice for her. He didn't have any obligation, yet he did it. She looked at the hand that she now knew she kept thanks to Tatsuya. Then, turning her eyes to look right at his, she gave him a small smile. As a member of the Saegusa family, she had received many compliments and gifts, but she always knew that it had more to do with her status than her own person. That's why she valued the time with her friends more than all those gifts and ceremonies, but what Tatsuya did was something that she had never imagined that someone would do for her.
"I understand, and I'm sorry that you had to suffer that pain just for me, but I promise you that I will keep your secret. So you can relax about that." Following those words, she gave way to an impulse that she had no idea from where it came, and hugged him. "Thank you for helping me."
That action took Tatsuya by surprise, but before he could do anything the door opened.
"Well, I have to say that I didn't expect to see this." said Mari as she walked inside the room with some papers in hand. She smiled at the scene of her old friend hugging Tatsuya, and Mayumi's reaction when Mari saw her was very funny to her.
Mayumi, for her part, froze when her friend arrived. She was the one that teased others, but when someone managed to turn the joke on her, she needed time to recover and counter attack. Unfortunately for her, Tatsuya saw this as an opportunity to not only direct all the attention towards Mayumi, but also to pay her back for all her past jokes, and he decided to take hold of it.
"So, being your personal plushy is also part of my job as member of the Student Council? It's a little odd, but at about the same level of you sitting in my lap. But why do you only do it when we're alone?" said Tatsuya with mock innocence.
Mayumi face turned so red at that instant that for a moment, Tatsuya and Mari believed that she might pass out.
"Ehh?! N-No Tatsuya! I mean-he's joking Mari! Eto, this isn't what it looks like!" shouted an embarrassed Mayumi.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything about how you use your powers as the Student Council President." said Mari with a predatory smile.
"Mari-chan!"
"Just do me a favor and please keep it secret from the others. I don't know how they would react to this." With that, Mari closed the door and left them alone.
The silence that follow was soon interrupted by a chuckle. Mayumi turned to look at the one responsible for this entire situation.
"YOU! YOU!"
"And this is the Mayumi that I want to see. You don't need to feel bad about what happened yesterday. I did what I did because of my own desires, so raise your spirits. After all, you're more beautiful when you smile like you always do."
"Tatsuya-kun." said Mayumi with a small blush.
"Well, self-time study time is almost up, so I better go back to my class room." and with that, Tatsuya left the room, leaving Mayumi watching the door after he closed it.
"Tatsuya-kun, I don't know if you're serious or not, but I promise you that I'll get you for this."
End of the class day
It had been a few very interesting weeks since he became a teacher at the First Magic High School, and Shirou had to say that he was not only impressed by the energy and emotion that his students put in his class, but also by himself. Who could have ever said that a third class magus like he was in the other world could become a good magic teacher in this one? And now he has the full weekend to relax from an intense week of work. Or at least, that's what he thought.
"Emiya-sensei." He heard a voice calling him from behind while he walking to the parking lot. When he turned around, he saw three First Course female students who were looking at him with cold eyes. He recognized one as the sister of Tatsuya.
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
"We would like to have a few words with you in private. It's about something important." said Suzune.
"Ok. Do you want to go to the teacher's room?"
"We would prefer a more private place. This is something very serious."
"Ok, lead the way." was Shirou's reply. He was wondering what the girls wanted to talk with him about as he followed them deep into the trees, but he never imagined the words that they said.
"We know that you're a two timer." said Miyuki.
"And that you're cheating on Sakura with her sister Rin." added Suzune.
"We want you to stop this behavior before you cause a problem that'll affect your family, Tatsuya-kun, and this school." added Mayumi.
That left Shirou frozen at those words. How did they know about his engagement with Sakura, or for that matter about his relationship with any of the girls, or in this case Rin?
"What are you talking about?" he tried to dismiss the topic.
"Please don't try to fool us. We know everything." said Suzune.
'I really hope that they don't know everything, but still, they seem to know more than they should.' thought Shirou. The question was, how. "Who told you that Sakura and I are engaged?" asked Shirou, hoping that the answer could give him an escape route.
"Sakura-sensei told me about that when she met me along with my mother." was Miyuki's reply. She tried to make it as short as possible, because she didn't want to explain about the events of that night.
'Not at exit there' thought Shirou. "And about Rin?"
"I saw you yesterday with her." was Mayumi's turn to reply.
"Shirou-sensei, we don't want to cause any problems, we want to prevent them. Because of your position, if this becomes public, it would not only damage your reputation, but it could affect the Second Course students." finished Suzune.
That left Shirou with no way out. How could he manage to find the right explanation about the situation, without revealing the real nature of his relationship with the girls?
"Such a situation could cause a major scandal. Right now, we're the only magic high school that has real teachers for the Second Course. But because of your behavior, we may lose that, or things may even get worse for Thaumaturgy users in general, considering who the people involved in this situation are." added Suzune.
"You need to stop doing such a horrible thing! Don't you realize how much you could hurt the people around you? And how much comfort they'd need to get over it?" asked Miyuki, causing a confused glance to be sent her way for a moment by the others.
"Listen, the situation is more complicated than what you're thinking." Shirou tried.
"What is there to understand? You have a relationship with Sakura-sensei, but you're going out with Rin-sensei. What there is to understand?" asked Mayumi.
"More than you think." said a voice from behind which made the girls jump. Only their dignity prevented them from screaming.
Standing there was Sakura-sensei. 'Oh no! What are we going to do now?' the girls thought to themselves. The point of the conversation was to prevent this scenario from happening, but now the worst case scenario was occurring anyways. They could only hope that the situation wouldn't go out of control. But out of all the girls, the most worried was Miyuki, since she knew the level of power that Sakura had. She only hoped that this didn't end in a tragedy.
"So, you took Rin-nee-san out on a date yesterday?" asked Sakura as she walked pass the girls until she was in front of Shirou.
When Sakura was standing in front of Shirou she then asked, "Do you have anything to say about this, One-san?"
"Guilty of all charges." came the voice of Rin, once again coming from behind the girls. The way that she said those words was as if it was a game to her.
"AHHH! Please don't do that!" was Mayumi's request after she was scared again. How could they keep appearing out of nowhere?
"Oh Shirou, what I am supposed to do with you?" asked Sakura as she took his shirt and lowered his head. The girls believed that they were going to see Sakura-sensei punch Shirou-sensei in the face, but when they saw the erotic kiss that she gave him, they could only think the same thing. 'What the hell is going on here?!'
"Hey, that's not fair! Now it's my turn." said a new voice.
"AHHH! Stop that!" screamed Miyuki, scared by the new presence. This time it was Illya-sensei.
"Now Shirou, how about we have a date now?" asked Illya.
"Wait a moment; it's my turn to have a date with Shirou. You can have one with him the next time."
"Wait, I didn't have a real date! We just went shopping for some things. I want a real date too." said Rin.
Soon, the three girls began to argue about the situation, forgetting that they had observers. Meanwhile, Shirou just wanted the earth to open up and eat him.
Soon Mayumi, Miyuki, and Suzune realized that they were missing something. But at the same time, they couldn't believe what they were seeing. It was at that moment that Suzune asked the question that was on their minds.
"Excuse me, but could you please tell me what's going on?"
Soon, Shirou and the girls remembered that they were in public. They remained silent for a moment, before Rin took a small crystal from her pocket. Miyuki recognized the crystal. It was the same type that her brother used the first time that they talked after school in the coffee shop.
The moment that she dropped the crystal on the ground, the same barrier appeared and they were cut off from the world.
"This field will allow us to have some privacy." said Rin.
"I believe that you had some questions for us?" asked Illya.
"Yes, and that question is: what's going on?" asked Suzune.
"I believe that it's best if we told you the story from the beginning." said Sakura.
"Miyuki-chan, Mayumi-chan, and Suzune-chan, can you please tell us what you think about our appearance?" asked Illya.
The three members of the Student Council didn't know what that had to do with all of this, but they replied anyways.
"You three are very attractive women, even some of the students have create fan clubs for each of you." answered Suzune.
"We know, and that's the problem." said Rin. When she saw the confused faces of the girls, she decided to elaborate more. "Since we were students in this same magic school, we were the target of arrogant First Course students that saw us as nothing but trophies that they had to get in order to impress their friends and families. Some members of the Master Clans and Numbers even had the guts to come to us and say that we would made excellent concubines, and expect us to be thankful for that!"
"But we were anything but happy about that, and we made known our displeasure by kicking the ass of any boy that came close to us with those ideas." added Illya.
"The worst part was that many Second Course girls got jealous of us for that. They believed that that was the only option to improve their status as a magician in this world, and they were fine with that. They knew about how some of the Master Clans allowed for the use of concubines for some of their members, since it's an open secret." said Sakura.
None of the three young girls could deny that truth.
"That's why we promised that we'd rise to the top of the world of magic and change it for the better." added Illya.
"That's very interesting, but that doesn't explain your current relationship with Shirou-sensei." stated Miyuki. It was Rin who replied to the original question.
"Since we were kids… no, even before that, I believed that we were born in this world to be together. Either way, the four of us have always been together, and with time we developed feelings for Shirou-koi here. But we each knew that the others felt the same, and that Shirou would never make a decision that could hurt any of us. So we had decided to remain in the 'friend zone', so that the four of us could have some level of happiness. Of course, we always scared away any girl outside of us that tried to get close to Shirou."
"Wait, you did what?" asked a surprised Shirou.
"We had to protect what was ours Shirou-koi." was Sakura's answer.
"I spent my high school years being avoided, and I always wondered if I had done something wrong!" said Shirou.
"Look at the good side of things, you spent those same years in the company of the three most beautiful girls in this country." added Illya.
"Also, that time made us realize that we can't compare our lives with someone else, but we were afraid to do something about these feelings." added Rin. "But a recent event made us realize that life is too valuable to be lost through fears and concerns about what others might say, so we decided to forget about that and fight for our happiness."
"We don't plan to scream about it to the world, but we won't deny it either, because we're happy this way. And we're not hurting anyone with our choice to remain together until the end of our lives." said Sakura.
"You're free to do what you want with this information, because nothing in this world will make us change our minds." said Illya. But what happened next was something that they didn't expect
"Oh my goodness, that's so romantic!" said Mayumi.
"Your strength and devotion is admirable." said Suzune.
"I would like to be able to be that deep in love." said Miyuki. "Wait a minute, aren't Illya-sensei and Shirou-sensei siblings?"
"We aren't blood related, so there isn't any problem." was Illya's reply.
"You don't have to worry about us. We'll support the heart of a woman in love, and this story is so romantic that I want to see how it advances." said Mayumi.
With that said and explained, Rin released the field and each group went their own way. However, before they could separate, something happened.
"Miyuki-chan, could you please wait for a moment?" Illya asked the young girl after she told Shirou and the others to wait for her for a moment.
Miyuki was surprised at being asked to wait for a moment. So far, the only one of the Second Course teachers that she had any contact with was Sakura, so she didn't know what Illya-sensei would want to ask her about.
"You don't have to worry. Relax, I'm not going to eat you." said Illya when she saw how reserved Miyuki was.
"I understand sensei, but what do you want to talk about with me?"
"Nothing special, it's just about that question that you made. It had a deeper significance, right?"
"What do you mean sensei?" asked Miyuki, having an idea about where this was going.
"About my relationship with Shirou, even if we were siblings."
"I'm sorry if I offended you."
"You don't need to worry about that, because you didn't offend me. You just made curious about something."
"About what sensei?"
"You have deeper feelings for your brother, right?" Illya saw how that question surprised the young girl.
"As you must know, my relationship with my brother is being created now after so many years apart. So yes, I really want to spend time with my brother."
"But it's more than that."
"I don't know what you mean."
"I mean that you love him in in the same way that a woman loves a man."
"Please sensei, don't joke about that. Tatsuya-nii-sama and I are true blood siblings, so there's no way that what you said is true."
"Yet, I can see the truth in your eyes. Don't worry, I won't push you for an answer. I just wanted to tell you that love is a powerful magic that can conquer all obstacles." Then, closing the distance between the two of them, she whispered quietly in her ear. "Just a small piece of advice: when you combine forbidden love with sex, you'll get the most intense experience of your life."
With that, Illya left the area and went to the parking lot where the others are waiting for her, leaving Miyuki with a huge blush on her face. Normally, when she got upset she subconsciously activated her magic, causing the area around her to freeze due to the amount of time practicing magic with similar effects giving her an 'affinity' of sorts for it. But the interesting thing was that now she wasn't mad, or even truly embarrassed by the words of Illya. Instead, she was having very vivid dreams cause by her words. Thus, this time her magic was burning a few leaves that were in the soil, the affinity for that coming from practicing the Inferno spell, instead of freezing things.
"Miyuki-chan, are you done talking with Sensei?" came the distance voice of Mayumi, which brought her back to reality.
"Yes! I'm coming!" replied Miyuki as she hurried up to where her friends were waiting for her. She would have to study those dreams again when she is alone in her room, with a few chocolates and strawberries.
At the other side of the park
"What where you talking about with Miyuki-chan?" asked Shirou.
"Nothing important, so don't worry." That answer made him even more worried. Still, the only thing he could do now was wait and see what happened.
It was late at night, and Morizaki was walking alone to an abandoned warehouse. He had received a mysterious letter that told him that if he wanted to reclaim his rightful place, and teach Emiya his own place, he needed to come here at that day, at that hour.
While he was walking, he couldn't help but remember how bad his time in the magic school had been. It was supposed to be his best years, where he could show the skill of his family, and prove his place as part of the elite. But that had ended when that stupid Tatsuya, who didn't know his place as a mere reserve, had showed him up. Now, because of him, he wouldn't be allowed to be part of the Disciplinary Committee and was in a probationary period. This wasn't supposed to happen, not to him. Not only, that but Miyuki and many girls from his classroom saw him as a problematic boy, and had distanced themselves from him. What was worse was that Miyuki, the Yamato Nadesico of the school, had been seen spending lot of time with Tatsuya. Even the President seemed to like him.
This couldn't be allowed to happen. The moral degradation had to be stopped now, before it was too late.
"Morizaki-kun, it's good to see that you accepted my invitation." said a voice from a door to his left.
When Morizaki turned to look at the speaker, he saw a thin man with gray hair and glasses.
"And who are you?"
"My name is Hajime Tsukasa, and you and I have many things to talk about."
Please review!
