Author- And the last slice of life chapter is here!

Joker- (breaks through the wall while wearing bright red, blue and white tights) WATASHI GA KITA! AS A LOW BUDGET CAMEO!

Author-...WHY?! THAT WILL COST A FORTUNE TO FIX THAT WALL!

Joker- (Taking the costume off) Well...we can ask Strange for help. He can reverse things with his magic.

Author- He can't! Remember Endgame?

Joker- Oh yeah...Thanos destroyed the stones! I forgot about that!

Author- Yeah and Steve returns the past stones back.

Joker- Well...we can ask anyone else. For now...let's focus on this chapter.

Author- Yes. Also...we have two reviews for this story already!

Joker- Really!?

Author- Well...one is a guest review so we don't know who sent the message but we have one who is known.

Joker- Cool...who's it from?

Author- From Dracus6. We have several ideas for the Kamen Rider series. Even the Tony Stark version of Kamen Rider. Expect that one coming in...how long will that one come in?

Joker- Probably after two stories. Maybe three if we're lucky.

Author- And for the anonymous message. Yes, he got punished because he disobeyed the direct orders from Artoria. The other Servants were not aware of the order because most of them weren't there when the order was given. Adding to the fact that he disobeyed who is essentially his own mother adds to the wound of pure arrogance.

Joker- Anyway, do we have special guests in this chapter? Since Irisviel and her two companions went back.

Author- Well...given the fact that we've been given the same amount of budget that Fate Stay Night Unlimited Bladeworks and Fire Force have, we can do anything.

Joker- So...?

Author- So...we can invite anyone we want and add anything to the story!

Joker- YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Author- But, that will be in effect for other stories. Don't worry, we still have our special guest here! From Fire Force! Maki Oze!

Maki Oze- Hi! I don't know how I got here but I'm glad to be here!

Joker- And quite a looker. Mind if we go out for some...fondue?

Author- Joker, not now. She just got here. You need to behave and besides...she can beat your ass up.

Maki- Don't worry, Author. I can take care of myself.

Joker- You're not the only one who can take care of yourself.

Author- And that's the cue! Roll the chapter!

Shirou's POV.

I was doing my work in my class, along with Rin and Luvia when suddenly…

'So…have you heard?' I heard some gossip around the class from the students. 'About what?' Another student asked. 'We're having a race around the town tomorrow. Everyone is joining. Even from other schools.' The one student said about an event happening tomorrow. 'So?' The student asked as it doesn't mean anything.

'The rumored prize is something in our dreams! A kiss from Sakura Matou!' The same student spoke with glee. I went rigid and I can sense both Rin and Luvia looking at me as well. 'You said it was a rumor. However, she is hot though. I bet Shinji will take the chance to do this race just for the prize.' The student said with a chuckle before they went out. 'So…Shirou, are you going to join the race?' Rin asked when the students left. 'What do you mean?' I asked confusingly.

'Shero, the event is tomorrow and the prize…is not a rumor. Sakura told us herself that she's going to give a kiss to the winner of the race. I also heard from other students that Shinji is joining.' Luvia said, telling me about what the event's prize really is. 'Oh…' I said before I saw Sakura walking into the room. 'Hi…Senpai.' She said with a happy tone. I smiled softly as she sat down beside me. 'So…have you heard about the race tomorrow?' She asked. 'Yeah. A lot of people are joining.' I said as I want to gauge her reaction. 'And I heard that Shinji is joining as well.' She said as she looks down. 'I guess he has the right to do that.' I said. 'So…you're not joining?' She asked as her eyes are looking into mine. 'Um…I am…I'm going to sign up later.' I said with a stutter. 'Oh…that's good.' She said with a blush and she nervously chuckles. I chuckled nervously as well, giving both Rin and Luvia a show. 'Also…you need another person to join with you.' She said. 'I'm sorry?' I asked. 'You need a partner. The first part of the race will be from the school to the market while the second part is vice versa. The kiss will be given to the second person.' She explains. 'Oh…' I said and I realized that no one asked me to join their team. I was panicking inside when…

'I think Kaiba can join.' Rin offered her idea. 'He can? I thought it's only for schools?' I asked, looking for confirmation. 'No, Shero. It's not limited to schools only. You can pick anyone, inside or outside the school.' Luvia explained the rules. I blushed faintly before I saw Kaiba walking in the room. 'Sorry. I was preoccupied with Irisviel and Kiritsugu. Sella and Leysritt are helping them now.' He said as he sat down next to Sakura. 'It's okay, buddy.' I said. 'So…Kaiba, we were wondering if you want to join an event.' Rin said. 'What sort of event?' He asked as he looks at us. 'A race. Shirou needs a partner for it. The prize is a kiss from Sakura.' Luvia said, explaining the event to him. 'Is that so?' He asked with a cheeky smirk. 'Yes, Kaiba-senpai. I offered my kiss as a prize. It also helps with charity since they have to pay a fee.' Sakura explains her reason for the gift.

'Well…I'm joining then.' Kaiba said as he latched his right arm around me. 'Thank you, Kaiba-san.' I said, thanking him. 'Don't thank me yet. Thank me tomorrow.' He said. I nodded as class ends. I signed myself up with Kaiba for the race and I saw all the names. Even Shinji is there with a random person. We walked out of the school and I thought no troubles came when…

'Well, well, well. Look what we have here.' Shinji said as he came walking towards us with his lackeys. 'Shinji…' Sakura said with fear. 'What do you want now, Shinji?' I asked. He smirked as he showed his letter. 'I'm joining the race tomorrow. I'm going to win and get the kiss from Sakura.' He said as he licks his lips. 'Well…not if we win the race.' Kaiba said as he stood beside me. 'You're joining the race?' Shinji asked as he looks at me. 'Yes. Him and I.' I said with a smirk. He looks at Kaiba, who is giving him an angry glare at that very moment. 'Well…see you tomorrow then. May the best man win.' Shinji said as he walks off with his lackeys. I breathed out the breath I didn't know I took. 'It's okay, Shirou. You will win the race tomorrow. You can count on me.' Kaiba said, cheering me up. I smiled as we walked home. Sakura, Rin, and Luvia walked off to their home while Kaiba and I reached ours.

When we entered, I saw Mom, Dad and Illya are watching the T.V while Sella is cooking. I don't see Leysritt but I know she's here somewhere. 'Welcome back.' Mom said with a happy tone. 'Thank you, Irisviel.' Kaiba said as he placed his coat on the coat rack. Kaiba is closer to the family now. Even towards Sella, which I thought was impossible. 'Onii-chan! Is it true you're joining the race tomorrow?!' Illya asked as she bounced towards us. 'Yeah. Kaiba and I are joining the race tomorrow.' I said as I rubbed the back of my head shyly. 'That's great, son. Protect Sakura's virginity as I did for your Mom back then!' Dad said as he gave a small peck on Mom's cheek, making her chuckle. 'DAD!' I groaned with embarrassment. 'What about you, Kaiba?' Leysritt asked as she appears out from the closet beside us, surprising me but not Kaiba. 'What about me?' Kaiba asked as he looks at her coming out from the closet. 'Don't you have anyone to celebrate your victory with as Shirou and Sakura will do?' She asked, ignoring my groan of embarrassment. I saw Kaiba just smiled softly. 'I do but she's too far away now. I hope I can see her again. Even if it's just for one more time.' He said with a sad smile. Leysritt nodded before patting his back. 'Don't worry, Kaiba! You can celebrate with me! I have stock up my food for tomorrow.' She said with a nod.

'I'll…take on your offer…' Kaiba said with a chuckle. I smiled at how Leysritt and Kaiba are conversing. We ate dinner and went to bed. Since my family is here, Kaiba is sleeping next to me on the spare futon I have. 'Are you okay, Kaiba?' I asked as I set my blanket. 'Why would I not be okay?' He asked as he was confused. 'When Leysritt asked about you celebrate our winning tomorrow. You were thinking about Jeanne, right?' I asked. I saw him smiling softly. 'Yeah. I was and always have Jeanne in my mind. She was the only one who was there for me. When I needed someone, she was there. She was the love of my life. And I've thrown it away for my own arrogance.' He said as he was still angry at himself. 'It's not your fault, Kaiba. You had your arrogance clouding your judgment. I saw how you have changed that. You've become better now. I think…if your step-mom can see you now, with Jeanne…I bet they are proud of you.' I said, cheering him up. He smiled softly before chuckling. 'Thank you, Shirou. I appreciate the gesture of good-will from you. I will do my best to help you with your romance with Sakura.' He said with a cheeky smirk.

'Stop it! You're even worse than Rin and Luvia!' I groaned with embarrassment. He laughed softly before we hit the hay.

Kaiba's POV.

It was the day of the race. I was stretching my body, getting myself warm up before the start. I've talked to Shirou about the plan. I will do the first part of the race and he will do the second part. I saw Shinji talking to his partner. A guy named Yuugi. 'Runners! Ready yourself!' The teacher called. I got up from the ground and went to the starting line. I saw Shirou's family cheering for me as well as Sella and Leysritt. 'Beat them!' Sella shouted as she waved her flags around. I chuckled as I got myself ready. 'On your mark!' The teacher shouted as she raises her flag. I cracked my neck while Yuugi is smirking.

'Get set…!' She continued as she looks at the other teacher. The other teacher nodded, and she looked back at us. 'GO!' She finishes, waving the flag down, signaling us to start. We ran and I saw that both Yuugi and I are in front. I thought I had this in the bag when a bullet nearly hit me. I managed to move to the side, but it gave a slight advantage to Yuugi.

'So…he's cheating…' I thought as I dodged another bullet. I looked at the trees and saw several students, who I recognized as Shinji's lackeys. I dodged more bullets but it gave Yuugi and other students from other schools a pace in front of me. 'Fine! Let's do this!' I growled deeply as I went full hardcore. I ran past through several students in front of me, ignoring the bullets coming at me, hitting my body. I grit my teeth as I passed more students. I think they are doing everything now since I saw several potholes covered by camouflage tarps. I dodged every single one of them while dodging the bullets as well. We reached the end of the first part and I tapped Shirou's back. 'Go. I'm going to help.' I said as I see him run. I pulled out my phone and called Rin. 'Rin, Shinji's cheating. He has his goons setting up traps and distractions for Shirou and I.' I told her. 'Are you sure?' She asked as she wants confirmation. 'I am sure enough. That's why I need your help. Along with a few others.' I said as I smirked.

Third Person's POV.

Shirou is running but he was lagging. Three people are blocking his way while Shinji is in front. 'I need to get past them.' Shirou thought when the three guys fell to the ground suddenly. 'What just happened?' Shinji asked one of his goons through his ear-piece. 'You know…you should have taken my advice about not disturbing Sakura…' Kaiba's voice came through. 'Kaiba!?' He asked with fear and anger. 'Yup. And I'm not the only one…' He said.

In an instant, several things happen. Some of the runners are diverted to another road, some are distracted by shining light from one of the buildings, blinding them. They rammed themselves into a wall and are out of the race. A few others fell like the other three. 'Hey, Shinji.' Rin called through the other line. 'Hey, dirtbag.' Luvia called through another line. 'So…you're the one who's cheating?' Sella asked as she called through another line. 'And trying to take away Shirou's lover?' Leysritt asked as she called through another line.

'How?!' Shinji asked, trying to piece together what just happened. 'It's all my husband's help. He was a former veteran. He knows about guerrilla warfare so he knows where your friends are, you little prick.' Irisviel called through another line. 'That's why…do not mess with the Emiya von Einzbern's family.' Kaiba finishes as they all closed the lines. Shinji growls as he saw that he and Shirou are the only ones left. 'It doesn't matter. I can win this…' He thought before Shirou passes him. 'What?!' He shouted with surprise and exasperation as Shirou just ran past him.

'Did I mention that I told Shirou about cheating?' Kaiba's voice came back. Shinji saw Shirou's eyes glaring at him as he ran in front of Shinji. 'I'm not going to lose…!' He screamed with anger as he ran even faster. Both are neck-a-neck as the finish line is close. Shirou saw Sakura looking at him and cheering for him. He smiled as he gains an extra boost that got him through the finish line before Shinji. 'NO!' Shinji screamed in defeat as he falls and rolls on the ground, defeated. Shirou stops and looked at everyone cheering for him. 'SENPAI!' He heard Sakura's scream as he turns around. Sakura lunged at him, causing him to fall on his back with Sakura still latching on him. 'I won?' He asked, not believing what he did. 'You did, Senpai. You won the race.' Sakura explained to him, making sure it is real and he's not dreaming. Shirou laughed as the two got off the ground. Kaiba went strolling towards them with Shirou's family, Rin, Luvia, Sella, and Leysritt.

'Good job son. You did it.' Kiritsugu congratulates Emiya on his winning. 'Thanks, Dad.' Shirou said as he hugs Kiritsugu. 'My boy is a winner.' Irisviel said with a cheer. Kaiba smiled before he saw Shinji, along with goons and Yuugi walking towards them.

'He cheated! He has friends helping him!' Shinji accusing Shirou angrily. 'He didn't cheat! You did!' Leysritt shouted back angrily at him. Kaiba held her back but Shinji said something that struck Kaiba.

'Put a leash on that dog, Kaiba. Before she bites.' Shinji mocked Leysritt. That prompted two things. Kaiba turning around and giving him and the goons the most menacing glare in the whole world. The second thing is Kaiba smirking. 'I wouldn't say that when I have the evidence.' He said as he nods at Rin. Rin smiled as a truck filled with Shinji's other goons came in a truck, all tied up. Bazett, in the driver's seat, gave a thumbs up while Tanaka and Angelica are glaring at the goons. 'So…what will it be? Us spilling the truth to the judges or we let bygones be bygones?' Kaiba asked as he went back to glare mode towards Shinji. Shinji swallowed his spit, in fear and anger before he looks away. 'Fine! Shirou wins this time! But, next time! I will win! I will get Sakura!' He proclaimed his goal as he walks off with his goons. Tanaka and Angelica untied the rest of the goons and let them off.

'So…about that kiss?' Shirou asked Sakura, with a faint blush on his face. Sakura giggled softly before tiptoeing and giving a peck on his cheek. 'Thank you, Senpai.' She said with a warm smile. She then walks towards Kaiba, who is eating crisps with Leysritt, despite Sella's scolding in the background. 'And thank you, Kaiba-senpai. For helping Senpai.' She said as she hugs Kaiba. Kaiba hugs her back before releasing her. They all celebrated the victory at Shirou's home while Kaiba is celebrating with Leysritt, eating and drinking junk food.

Rin's POV.

I'm currently at Shirou's place with Sakura and Luvia. It was a holiday. Shirou is out with his family while Kaiba is cooking sandwiches for us. Illya and Miyu stayed back with us. The two are playing their game, telling Kaiba about any new updates on it. He just smiled as he hears their stories. 'He's like a father, listening to the kids telling stories.' Luvia said as she looks at them. 'He sure takes the role seriously…' I said with a smile as I looked at him. The two then came to us. 'Do you guys want to play with us? I have a new game that I got from the store.' Illya asked as she showed the game. It was a normal board game. 'Sure…' Sakura said. All of us, excluding Kaiba as he's still cooking, went to the table. We set up the board and Miyu gives us papers. 'First, we need to make our own characters.' She explains.

'What are conditions?' I asked, 'No conditions, You can make anything with your characters.' Illya explains. She and Miyu show their characters. Illya's character is a small pixie with green skin and purple hair. Miyu's character is a fairy with yellow hair and green eyes. All three of us nodded as we spend our time making our characters. I decided to make my character a huntress with the same looks as me. I looked at Sakura and she chose to be a magical princess with the same looks as her. Luvia decided to become a female wrestler with Herculean strength and the same looks as her. 'Sandwiches…' Kaiba said as he came with the plate. 'Kaiba-senpai, do you want to play as well?' Sakura asked as she showed her paper to him. 'I guess I'm playing as well.' He said as Illya gave him a paper.

He makes his character a knight with black armor with two swords. 'So…what is the game?' Luvia asked as she looks at the two. 'This game is like Fate but an adventure. We can pick any Servants from the game and series as our companion. You need to pick three Servants. The goal is to get to the end goal. The Holy Grail.' She explains the rules. She then gave me two dices. 'You have to roll the dices. You move your piece according to the number on your dices. The first one to reach and fight against the Dark Overlord, they need to roll two sixes. That will give you and the Servants you choose to defeat the Dark Overlord and win the game. If there is more than one player at the end of the final fight, the Servants can move to the next player when the previous player didn't get the roll they need.' Miyu explains. We all nodded as Illya gave us the list of Servants with their pictures and which type they are.

'I choose Ereshkigal, Ishtar and…Atilla.' I said, choosing my Servants. 'I choose Elizabeth Bathory, Brynhildr and Kiyohime.' Luvia said, choosing her Servants. 'I choose BB, Passionlip, and Meltlilith.' Sakura said as she chose her Servants. 'I have Tamamo no Mae, Cu Chulainn, and Ushiwakamaru.' Illya said as she shows her Servants. 'I have Medea, Xuanzang Sanzang and Merlin.' Miyu said as she shows her Servants. 'What about you, Kaiba-senpai?' Sakura asked. He looks at the paper, inspecting the names before…

'I choose Artoria Lancer, Jeanne d'Arc, and Oda Nobunaga.' He said. 'Nice pick. So…let's start.' Illya said. I nodded as I throw the dices. I got five and three. I move my piece eight steps. 'And you have to fight three monsters. You can use one Servant from your group to fight them.' Miyu explains. I nodded and I chose Atilla. 'You need to roll a high number than your first roll to win.' Illya explains. I nod as I take the dices and throw them. I got a 4 and a 5, which makes it nine. 'Atilla defeats the monsters and moves two steps.' Illya explains the next move. I move my piece and gives the dices to Luvia. Luvia rolls the dices and got nine. She moves her piece, but she didn't get to fight anything. She gives the dices to Sakura and she rolls them. She got 12 and she moves her piece. 'You encounter a Servant of your choice. Roll the dice. If you get two fives, you can recruit the Servant for your party. If you get anything else than the two fives, you need to fight the Servant.' Miyu explains.

Sakura nods as she got the list again. 'I choose Okita.' She said as she rolls the dices again. Her luck is pure gold because she got two fives. 'Okita is in your team now and you move four steps.' Illya explains. Sakura moves her piece and gave the dices to Illya. Illya and Miyu got to battle monsters again and gave the dices to Kaiba. Kaiba must have Sakura's luck as well because he got the same thing as she did. 'The Servant I choose is Musashi.' He said as he got Musashi in his team. We played until Shirou and his family came home. 'You guys are here.' Shirou said. 'We're playing a board game and right now, Sakura, Miyu, and Kaiba are getting near to fight the Dark Overlord.' Illya explains. 'It's fun to watch Luvia screaming like a banshee when she lost.' I said with a giggle. 'Haha, very funny. At least I didn't cry like you when you lost.' Luvia said as she giggled as well. I growled but I saw Shirou and the family, along with Sella and Leysritt are watching the match.

'We need popcorn and drinks.' Irisviel said as she looks at the board game. 'I'm on it.' Sella said as she ran off and got the drinks and popcorn. We watched until the three of them reached the final fight.

'Sakura, mind doing the honors?' Kaiba said as he gives the dices to Sakura. Sakura rolls the dices, but she didn't get the right roll. 'Looks like I lost. I'm giving my Servants to you, Kaiba-senpai.' She said as she gave her piece to him. He smiled as Miyu rolls the dices. Like Sakura, she lost as well. 'Win the fight for me, Kaiba-san.' Miyu said as she gives her piece to Kaiba. Kaiba nods as he takes the dices. Everyone anticipates the last move. Even me as I eat my popcorn. Luvia is slurping her drink while Sakura is smiling, cheering for Kaiba. Kaiba throws the dices and the dices roll around. We all hold our breaths. Even Shirou. Soon, the dices stop, and he got two sixes. 'I won…' He said. 'HE WON!' Kiritsugu shouts with cheer and happiness. We all cheered. Even though this was just a board game.

Leysritt also celebrated with Kaiba. With a piggyback. I looked outside and saw it was dark. 'We must go home now. It's late.' I said as I looked at the time. 'It's fine. You girls can stay here for the night. You can share rooms with Sella and Leysritt.' Irisviel offered. Sakura, Luvia, Miyu and I looked at each other and we agreed. 'Anyway, tomorrow is the day we need to meet with the two people anyway…' Kaiba said as he helped Illya and Miyu pack up the board game. 'That's right. We have a big day tomorrow.' Sakura said. 'Well…let's get to bed early then.' Luvia said with a cheeky smile. I agreed to share a room with Sella while Luvia and Sakura share a room with Leysritt. Miyu shares a room with Illya while Kaiba stays in the guest bedroom.

Magis's POV.

'Looks like you let some Servants get away.' I said to Raku, who is in my presence, as I sat on my throne. 'The ones who got away are none of your concern. I have apprehended most of the Servants needed for the plan. Your job is to send in some of your pets to help my Dark Servants to capture the escapees.' Raku growled as he glared at me. 'I will do that, but will it be enough? I know that the little Prince is mortal now but who knows what he has in store. He might be able to get something from the escapees.' I said. 'That is why this deal needs to stay until I can kill Kaiba. For now…send in your pets and I will send in my Dark Servants.' Raku said as he summoned several black wisps that formed into Servants.

'Indeed. You have the power to create Servants. Such a remarkable power in the hands of a Servant that can kill me.' I said as I looked at the Dark Servants. 'Don't worry…your fate is not yet written. I have lowered the barrier between Chaldea City and your realm. I hope I will be seeing you soon. When I get the Servants.' He said as he walks off. I smirked as I send in my monsters to hunt and capture the escaped Servants on Earth.
