Chapter 4 - Relatives
Emiya residence
"Gently Shirou, gently!" Naruto said guiding the boy in.
"I have her. Look she's fine." Shirou said as he carried Sakura's unconscious body in his arms.
"Shirou I've been carrying your aunt in my arms for many years. So I can tell when your doing it wrong." Naruto said in a scolding tone.
"How am I doing it wrong?" Shirou asked when Naruto ran by his side putting his hand on the catching Sakura's head.
"You really want to ask that question?" he asked preventing Sakura's head from hitting the walls several more times.
"It would help if you weren't so close making me nervous." Shirou said.
"Your making it more difficult than it is! Look my uncle Harlequin has no difficulty carrying his wife around." Naruto said pointing to King who was flying in the air with Diane in his arms.
Shirou sighed and continued to make his way inside. Although getting some dissatisfied looks from his relative the whole way there and almost hitting the poor cherry blossom on the head a few times. On their way they could hear someone working in the kitchen cooking something up.
"Is aunt Semiramis cooking something up?" Shirou asked.
"Can't be, even with knowledge of the modern world, Semiramis was never one to make a delectable meal. Not even for herself or the kids." Naruto answered wondering what was happening.
"Oh must be one your parents then." Shirou said.
Ban who was right behind them immediately went wide eyed, "Naruto! One of them is behind the kitchen!" he yelled before dashing into the dining room.
"He does know we don't wear our shoes inside right?" Shirou asked.
Meanwhile Naruto was contemplating something. Besides Shirou, only Sakura and himself were the cooks of the house. Ban has great skill, but only arrived today leaving only his parents. Elizabeth was ditzy and clumsy only developing skills in cleaning and housework. That leaves Meliodas whose kitchen work...
"Nobody touch that food!" Naruto yelled running in.
As he arrived at the dining room, he saw Meliodas give a plate of food in the shape of that pig from back in the day. What was his name? Birdy? Peacock? Falcon? Hawk! His name was Hawk!
"And to my daughter in law. I give you this masterpiece." Meliodas said.
"Thank you Meliodas." Semiramis said gratefully.
"Oh just call me dad." Meliodas said.
Naruto was horrified by the sight and proceeded to tackle his wife, "Semi no! My father doesn't know the difference between cooked food and a piece of tree bark in a swamp!" he said as he knocked her over.
"Naruto what has gotten into you?" Semiramis demanded.
"Hey I got better!" Meliodas complained before being grabbed in a headlock by Ban.
"I doubt it!" Ban said.
Shirou arrived and carefully put Sakura down before noticing the little food statue of Hawk. As everyone argued about the food, Shirou decided to help himself before slowly foaming at the mouth.
"Shirou are you ok?" Semiramis asked.
"He ate the food!" Ban yelled as everyone ducked.
Shirou suddenly spat the food out ruining a good portion of the kitchen. Semiramis looked horrified by what came out of Shirou's mouth.
"He was going to feed me that?" Semiramis asked.
"Its best we keep my father from the kitchen... permanently." Naruto said helping his wife up.
"Hey wasn't there a baby here before we left?" Ban asked letting go of Meliodas.
"Oh they're with Elizabeth and Elaine outside." Meliodas answered.
"I'll go check on them." Naruto said going outside.
Meanwhile Shirou was on the floor twitching while Saber and Rin were doing their best to stabilize him. Archer for his part quickly removed all the bandages much to Rin's dismay. However, Saber managed to pull out an oxygen tank out of nowhere and placed the mask over Shirou's face making him calm down a bit.
"It needs more seasoning." Meliodas said walking back to the kitchen only to be dragged back by the collar.
"Oh no you don't. You're going to stay here and he-" he looked at Shirou who was likely in a coma. "Stay here and stay still." Ban said.
"Excuse Ban was it?" Arthur asked getting a nod. "Is it just you six that's coming or are there more?" he asked.
"I think after us it's just Merlin and probably Gowther since our other member, Escanor, passed away." Ban answered.
"About Merlin, what are they like?" Arthur asked.
"She is rather... I don't know. Eccentric? No not eccentric, curious is probably a better word. She was always someone that enjoys using people like guinea pigs for knowledge. Hell she stopped me from destroying a grey demon's corpse for because she wanted to study the race." Ban explained.
Arthur nodded at the information while Saber listened in wondering what kind of person their Merlin is like and how powerful she is compared to her Merlin or any other caster class servant. Only time would tell.
"You know, I find it hilarious that we came here to check on Sakura's condition. Yet we're helping Emiya who has a bad case of food poisoning." Archer said making everyone remember their priorities.
Rin looked over to Sakura who was taking breaths in her sleep. For some reason just seeing her now, in her current state left a pang in her heart. Moving over Shirou she made her way over to the cherry blossom named girl. As she checked her wounds, she saw a few bruises and scratches, but what really grabbed her attention was the bow on her head.
'She still has that bow I gave her.' Rin thought as she rubbed Sakura's hand.
"Big sister help me!"
"Rin where are you?"
"Mama! Papa! Rin! Save me!"
"Rin. Rin? Rin!" the mage snapped out of her thoughts and saw Naruto staring at her with his face a few inches away. "You gonna turn this one into a mummy too?" he asked. Rin glared and tried to slap Naruto only for him to jump back, "To slow." he said making her mad.
"Why are you calling me by my first name like we're friends?" she asked.
"Because I still have culture shock and a dominant portion of the world refers to others by their first name. Sometimes surnames as slang or of someone with higher status." Naruto answered expecting her to understand this.
"What?" Rin asked.
"You haven't been paying attention to my class have you? I bet that Shinji boy has better grades than you." Naruto taunted almost getting slapped.
"Like I would fall behind Matou!" Rin said.
"Then pay attention Tohsaka!" Naruto practically yelled in her face.
Rin slowly wiped away what felt like Saliva on the side of her cheek before glaring holes into her teacher/enemy servant. Oh how she wished Archer could just put in arrow in his stupid forehead! All he's been is a hindrance to her ambitions and quest.
"Tohsaka its not good to scowl like that. Learn from Sakura, she's looking peaceful and she already captured Shirou's heart." Naruto said making Shirou wake up from the last part. "Anyways, I should get my family settled in along with working on make more rooms. Uncle Ban your in charge of helping Shirou with dinner while I'm gone." he said.
"Alright, now what the hell do you people eat? It looks like veggies and raw fish from the looks of it." Ban said digging through Shirou's fridge.
Then suddenly a brightly appeared from outside along with the sound of a drop.
"Naruto I think Merlin is here!" Meliodas called out before running outside.
"If you have questions, ask the woman herself." Ban told Arthur before running out to join the rest of his group.
Naruto managed to come back out juggling a few strangely shaped keys on hand, "Yay auntie's back!" he said in a childlike tone making everyone else sweat drop.
"I guess he's really excited to meet his relatives." Semiramis said as she joined her everyone else leaving Rin, Archer and Sakura behind.
"Don't you want to meet the greatest mage in existence Rin?" Archer asked.
"In a little bit Archer. I should make sure Sakura is fine." Rin said hiding her true intentions.
Shirou for his part was still in the doorway watching the three unable to see the look Rin was giving to Sakura. It was off putting and felt strange. This was one of those times where you couldn't mock Shirou for being dense around women. The issue at hand was he didn't know about the secret relationship between the two girls.
Outside
As everyone surrounded the transmutation circle, the two lights appeared in the shape of two people before revealing a pink haired boy with glasses and someone wearing a cloak covering their face and body. The pink haired boy tilted his head looking around. He could see his comrades Meliodas, Ban, King and Diane along with Elizabeth and Elaine who were both taking care of an infant with a tail.
"Isn't this a joyous reunion?" asked a feminine voice coming from the cloak.
"Hey Merlin, hey Gowther, you wouldn't believe the story my son has for you." Meliodas said walking up to them.
"Captain, what is this place? And how does this involve Naruto?" Merlin asked putting her hood down revealing her short black hair and golden eyes.
'So much different from my Merlin.' Arthur and Saber thought.
"Everyone is here. Is there a demon attack again?" Gowther asked.
"Sort of, I think Naruto should explain it to you. It's still confusing to understand." Meliodas answered when suddenly...
"Auntie Merlin!" Naruto jumped out of nowhere tackling Merlin.
"Naruto!?" she asked falling back. "Naruto you're so big!" she said with wide eyes.
"Is he?" Meliodas asked.
"Captain he's your own son! How do you not notice that!?" Ban yelled.
"I thought it was a haircut." Meliodas answered.
"Auntie I missed you the most after my parents!" Naruto said lying his head on Merlin's chest.
"Naruto, auntie needs you to give her space. Your so much bigger and heavier than before!" Merlin said losing her breath.
"Why is Naruto acting like a child?" Saber asked Elizabeth.
"Because she's his godmother and would enjoy playing and learning magic under her before he was sealed away." Elizabeth answered happily.
Saber just watched as Naruto helped Merlin up before hugging her again. She would wonder how the knight would react to two Arthur Pendragon's.
"I think its best if I explain this out here since Shirou doesn't have any room left. That and I was interrupted doing my work." Naruto said revealing his keys.
"Still perfecting that magic Naruto?" Merlin asked.
"I sure am auntie." Naruto said before explaining his story.
A half hour later
"And that's where we are today and I'm happy to have reunited with my extended family." Naruto said kissing Semiramis and baby Shirou.
"That was an interesting story." Gowther said in his monotone voice.
"Well then, would you kindly reveal the insect me? I wouldn't mind getting started on that first." Merlin said.
Naruto nodded and revealed an orb containing the worm like creatures. Merlin inspected them before taking the orb for herself.
"I will take the liberty of studying these parasites. Do you have a space for me to work with?" Merlin asked.
Naruto answered by revealing several keys on hand as a locking mechanism appeared in the middle of the air. Going through his combinations, a small wooden door appeared. Opening it, Naruto revealed a large room with an empty table surrounded by a small library and other useful tools.
"It will do." Merlin said receiving a key and closing the door. "For now, I think I should get settled in first before I isolate myself." she said putting the orb away.
"Alright, I guess I'll get started with dinner early." Naruto said heading back inside.
Later that evening
Sakura was still unconscious and lying on Shirou's bed, but what Naruto and Elizabeth were able to tell. Sakura was ready to wake up at any moment. Now the only other thing they had to be careful was of Taiga since she always visits during this time and Naruto doubts Gowther has the patience or detailed mind to put false memories into Taiga tricking her into thinking they have all met without leaving an discrepancies. So with that, Naruto went directly into creating more open spaces with futons for everyone to access.
So having fixed the issue with space, Naruto turned his attention to the news report about the school's attack. It was rather disturbing actually, there was no witness or report of any kind related to the demon attack. The anchor reported it to be a random set of earthquakes and tremors seeing as they were common in the country. There was no evidence of any kind mentioning the attack. Wasn't there cameras or someone there to at least mention them even if its just a rumor? It was strange to say the least.
For now, all he could do was hope that with the help of his family from his first life would be enough.
While he was at it, he enjoyed the peace. A while before Taiga showed up, everyone enjoyed themselves. Merlin had fun messing with the two counterparts of Arthur Pendragon. Little Gil earned his nickname from Gilgamesh in memory of the knight from Meliodas, but started to open up and sound less arrogant. Gowther was trying to comprehend what a television was. Diane, King and Elaine were playing with baby Shirou who recently discovered his own tail and tried to chase it around. Ban somehow convinced Archer to be his drinking buddy leaving the two on the floor and plastered.
That left Shirou and Rin who were still watching over Sakura. Excusing himself, he went to check on the pair. Only to see Shirou opening the door meeting his gaze.
"Hey uncle, Sakura woke up so I'm going to get her some food." Shirou said earning a nod as a reply.
Looking inside Naruto could see Sakura looking at the ceiling while Rin looked away with her arms crossed. Almost as if the two hated each other and were trying to avoid socialization. With his sensory abilities he could sense fear and hesitation form Sakura. While Rin displayed hesitation and fake ignorance. Have these two met before? If so, why are they acting this way?
"So how's my future niece?" Naruto asked no one in particular expecting some response from either one.
Instead both girls blushed, "Who are you even talking to?" Rin asked.
"To the future Mrs. Emiya of course." Naruto said with a straight face making them both blush.
"Baka!" Rin insulted.
Naruto waved it off and turned to Sakura, "How are you doing Sakura? Are you feeling ok?" he asked with a friendly smile.
Sakura smiled back, "A little dizzy. What happened happened at the school?" she asked.
"An earthquake, a bad one too." Naruto lied, not that she would notice. "Oh and Shirou carried you all the way back to the house too." he added. Before she could answer, Naruto decided to be a bad comedian, "With his shirt off." he finished.
Sakura turned dark red reminding Naruto of that Hyuga girl, "He did?" she asked.
"Yeah, I actually had to help carry Rin too since her nose was leaking all that blood from staring at his muscles." Naruto answered.
Rin also turned red, but an angry red, "I didn't do no such thing! Stupid teacher man!" she yelled stomping her foot.
"You're only saying that because your in danger of failing." Naruto taunted.
"I am not!" Rin argued.
"Rin lower your voice! We have a sick patient." Naruto berated making Rin fume while Sakura giggled.
Shirou came in to see Rin looking away still and Sakura looking better, "Is something wrong?" he asked.
"Sakura and Rin were having a delightful conversation and I was being a good mediator." Naruto lied fooling Shirou.
"Oh what was it about?" Shirou asked.
"I can barely understand my wife. All I do is nod and agree with whatever they say." Naruto replied making Shirou face fault almost dropping the plate in his hands.
"And you call me dense." Shirou replied.
"Anyways, I'll leave you to three to it." Naruto said leaving and closing the door behind him.
Then he saw Archer stumbling towards him. Likely intoxicated from all the drinking Ban forced him into doing.
"Hey you sha stee way from ma masta. I no like when you embarish ha. Ya git ma?" Archer slurred throwing a fist at Naruto. Only to fall on the man's chest and then get hugged, "I luv ya Peepa!" he finished gripping him in a hug before falling asleep.
(Translation: Stay away from my master. I don't like it when you embarrass her. Do you understand me? I love you grandpa!)
Naruto felt confused and awkward having the heroic spirit holding onto him. It didn't feel any better that he smelled like bowl of chili made from acid. Lifting his head up he noticed the man was drifting back and forth from consciousness. Slapping his face a few times, Archer briefly opened his eyes revealing one turning orange. Feeling curious, he held Archer's eyelids open and saw the sclera of his eye was orange and his cornea was replaced by a yellow triskele.
"Holy shit." Naruto said before the eye flickered a few times until it returned to its original color.
Naruto shook his head and lifted Archer's arm over his shoulder and brought him back to dining room. Rin has some explaining to do and so does Archer even if he has to threaten them with something worse an failing grade in class.
The next day
At school, things seemed normal as Shirou decided to walk with Sakura to school. However this time he felt a sudden warm feeling. Not that kind you get for doing a good deed or for hanging around someone you enjoy being with. Almost as if he feels positive intentions directed at him. As if Sakura was telling him what she was feeling without saying anything or giving him any signs (that he would notice). He couldn't ignore or turn it away.
Although, it feels so good. Like he doesn't want this feeling to go away. It only got stronger the moment he realized his hand was intertwined with hers.
"S-senpai..." Sakura squeaked.
"Sakura..." Shirou trailed off before pulling her close.
Sakura felt paralysed as Shirou started to pull her in for a hug. It felt foreign and all of her instincts told her to runaway and never look back. When suddenly she felt soft hands pulling her in with some gentle force pushing her closer. Sakura was internally panicking, but the next thing she knew something told her everything was fine. She was safe and no one was going to hurt her. Shirou was here and he would protect her.
Naruto rolled up parking in his chopper and noticed the sight. That's when he felt pride for his descendant. Not only was he growing closer with the woman who felt love for him, he was unlocking one next stages of the goddess bloodline. Even from where he was, he could sense Shirou flaring his power which was a bit much for everyone else making them turn and walk away. However, this beautiful moment was about to be ruined when his eyes turned to Shinji.
Shinji was Sakura's older adoptive brother. From what Shirou told Naruto, he was some bastard with status and would use it to chase skirts. Not only that, Shirou thinks Shinji has been abusing Sakura. There was no proof and Sakura is too scared to speak up so there was little Naruto could do as a teacher. Even though Shinji thinks he's hot shit that can get away with his abuse and harassment of other students, Naruto wouldn't let him ruin this moment.
Sensing the Matou boy's intentions to rip Sakura away from her happiness. Naruto kept his helmet on hiding his curse mark forming around his face and looked and Shinji making him stop in place. For that entire moment, Shinji felt his as if his body was slowly turning into ice from the fear he felt. Almost as if he was about to be ripped apart the moment he makes the smallest gesture such as breathing. To make it worse, it was only hitting him.
Everyone was ignoring Shinji's paralysis and Emiya who was hugging his sister. While the potential couple were enjoying their bliss, Shinji was trapped where he stood feeling the grim reaper right behind him ready to send his soul to the underworld where he belonged. That's when he heard a voice... a voice he could only assumed belonged to the angel of death themselves.
"You will make no such trouble... if I find you harming the girl or the boy she loves... I will end your life like a snap of a finger..." said the voice in his head.
Then for a brief moment, death released its grip on him giving him a chance to run inside and avoid his fate. Naruto smiled and looked back at the pair who didn't notice anything. Sakura pulled out and gave him a kiss on the cheek making Shirou blush.
"Thank you senpai." Sakura said holding his hand.
"Anytime Sakura." Shirou said happily as the two walked up.
Naruto retracted his curse mark and removed his helmet before going up to his class. If Shirou made it this far with women and his powers. He could only imagine the pride he would get seeing Arthur.
Inside the school 5 minutes later
'Damn it Arthur!' Naruto thought as he looked at his other descendant in disappointment.
Just a minute ago the blond teen was minding his own business until he made an awkward turn and accidentally slammed into some poor third year student. He just watched as the girl's glasses fell as she landed on his chest. Naruto didn't need his sensory skills to know Arthur was going to get a good slapping across the face. So all he could do was wait and break things up depending how intense the beating ends up being.
Arthur for his part felt like he crashed into and it only felt worse as if someone literally shared their own pain. It was difficult to describe, like those moments when you hit in inanimate object and still get hurt only that the pain belonged to the object. Looking down on his chest he noticed an older looking girl gripping her forehead in pain. Arthur immediately realized his mistake.
"Oh I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Let me help you up." Arthur said helping the upperclassmen up.
"No no, its fine! I just didn't pay attention to where I was going." the upperclassmen said with some hints of nervousness.
Arthur quickly helped the girl up and carefully picked up her glasses before noticing her vibrant blue eyes.
"What?" the girl asked.
"Nothing, your eyes..." Arthur started only to be interrupted.
"Is there something wrong with them?" the girl asked feeling insecure.
"No they are just really pretty." Arthur stopped himself realizing what he said making them both blush. "Here are your glasses by the way miss?" he asked.
"I'm Ayaka Sajyou, a third year student." she answered as she put on her glasses.
"I'm Arthur Namikaze, second year student." Arthur replied.
Ayake nodded as she felt the pink tint still on her face, "Nice meeting you Namikaze. I'll be on my way now." she said.
Arthur for his part felt like a warm emotion had hit and stuck to him while his own emotions remained inside. As he turned with a derp face, he saw his disappointed grandfather looking at him.
"That was pitiful, you give bachelor's a bad name." Naruto said making Arthur sweat drop.
"I got her name and she didn't slap me so that's two wins." Arthur replied.
"So is kicking a football into your own team's net. Its a victory for the enemy." Naruto said crossing his arms.
"Uncle I don't understand why you're berating me." Arthur said.
"Follow me Arthur." Naruto said gesturing him to follow. Arthur followed Naruto up the stairs until he pointed to Shirou who was hugging Sakura, "See that, that's tact. Our own descendant has more class than you." Naruto said.
For Arthur he was disturbed at the idea of Shirou likely being the distant grandchild of Mordred as that's the only way his lineage could have continued. That and Guinevere was another story to explain and it was too much of a headache to get into.
Shirou departed from Sakura and noticed Naruto and Arthur waiting for him, "Something wrong?" he asked.
"You tell me Shirou. Tell me what's wrong with Arthur." Naruto requested getting an odd look.
"He's Saber's twin from another time?" Shirou asked.
"Not that, look this is what happened..." Naruto then went on to explain what happened between Ayaka and Arthur.
"It seems alright. I mean it was just a one time meeting." Shirou responded.
"What? You disappoint me Shirou. If it weren't for your bloodline, Sakura would have left you and I wouldn't have had to scare Shinji away with my demonic intent." Naruto said with an annoyed tone.
"Are you lecturing me about using my powers wrong? I would expect this to come from Tohsaka of all people." Shirou said with shock on his face.
"Oh now you're thinking about other girls? Shame!" Naruto replied shaking his head.
"You have a bipolar personality ancestor." Arthur said wondering what was wrong with him.
"I swear I'm just going to disown you both and adopt Saber." Naruto said before turning his head at a certain direction.
"Please don't involve me." Saber said.
Shirou looked at his command seals, "With a command seal, I want you to..."
"Shirou no."
"To..."
"Don't you dare!"
"To...!"
"Shirou!"
"...fine." Shirou gave up and listened to his servant.
Naruto shook his head again, "And you got no balls handling other women." he said. "That's it! Saber you're my new daughter!" he said dragging her while she was in her astral form making her skid against the floor.
"I never agreed to this!" she said crying anime tears as Naruto dragged her to class.
"Is he serious?" Shirou asked.
"At least we know he cares." Arthur said trying to be optimistic.
"So what's up with that Ayaka girl?" Shirou asked out of curiosity.
"She's really pretty and has some nice blue eyes. Who knows, maybe I'll see her later again." Arthur said as they both walked down to their class.
In class
Taiga arrived about ten seconds before the bell again feeling prideful about her timing. Of course she started her day with announcements and a new surprise for the class.
"And today, we are blessed with a new student today." Taiga said as the door revealed a familiar pink haired boy with glasses.
"Hello everyone, I am Gowther Chevre. Sparkle!" nearly everyone laughed at the last part.
"Anything interesting you would like to say about yourself?" Taiga asked.
"No I am good." Gowther said.
"Ok then take any open seat you can find." Taiga said as Arthur and Shirou went wide eyed at Gowther's sudden appearance.
Clearly their uncle had little faith in them. Then again, the seven deadly sins were rather strong according to Naruto. That and Ban was able to rip out the heart of a single demon in a single move. So it would be best to drop the subject for now and pay attention to class. Although Gowther for his part felt some internal enthusiasm as he wished to see what this new world was like.
A little while later
In their next class, Gowther joined Rin, Shirou and Arthur where they were told ahead of time about a new teacher. Rin, being the smartest one of the group, already had an idea of what insanity was planned for them. With that said, they heard the sliding door open and heard the clicking of a pair of heels. Looking in front of them they saw Merlin giving her signature smile that made some of them uneasy for some reason.
Although the rest of the class had mixed reactions. The men had hearts over their eyes and were trying to block their nostrils from leaking blood. The women however felt inferiority and envy to the beautiful woman. Imagine their reactions if they saw her in her real attire of a cloak covering part of her breast, a pair of boots and panties open for the world to see. This time she wore a lilac colored skirt suit that covered her assets preventing the men from dying from blood loss.
"Good morning class, my name is Merlin Sanglier. I will be substituting as your history teacher for the rest of the year due to a complication with your last teacher Ms. Kazama." Merlin said.
Shirou then saw Shinji almost fall off his desk from all the blood leaking out of his nose. Even her gentle voice alone could kill the men! Was Merlin really the sin of gluttony? The sin of lust would fit better in this situation.
Rin for her part actually felt interested in listening to Merlin. Sure he wasn't a fan of Naruto and his quirks, but Merlin is his godmother and teacher to an extent. Merlin is also another incarnation of the legendary sorcerer like the ones that trained Saber and Arthur. So at the very least she was on par with their skills. Maybe if she "behaved" she could as said woman for lessons in magic. Perhaps there were some perks to being in an alliance with Shirou.
A little while into the class, Shirou started to feel random pain in his eye. He tried to rub his thumb around the corners trying to ease the pain. The pain worsened as he felt some throbbing and burning. He couldn't understand it or bare to keep it to himself.
"Ms. Sanglier, would it ok if I went to the nurse?" Shirou asked clutching his eye.
Merlin looked worried for a moment, "Sure Shirou, go right ahead." she answered.
"Thank you." Shirou said as he walked out.
Nurses office
Shirou moved the sliding door and found the nurse turning away from him organizes her supplies.
"Excuse me ma'am." Shirou said grabbing her attention.
The woman turned her head revealing her beautiful brown eyes and long blue hair. Naruto internally blushed at the woman's beauty.
"Hello there young man. Can I help you?" she asked.
"I think I have some eye pain. It feels like its burning and throbbing at the same time." Shirou answered.
The woman turned around revealing her busty look making Shirou deepen his blush at the sight. The woman however didn't bother noticing as she was thinking about Shirou's treatment.
"Have a seat on that stool right there. Oh and can I have your name to check you in?" she asked.
"Shirou Emiya, are you new by the way?" Shirou asked hoping he wasn't getting too personal.
"I just started last week." the nurse answered.
As the two sat down, the nurse proceeded to look at Shirou's eye with a small flashlight. Upon inspection she noticed a slight change of color. The white sclera started to darken. Likely a small hemorrhage infection or something.
"Shirou do you feel pain anywhere else in your body? Or is it just your eye?" she asked.
"Just my eye." Shirou answered.
"Have you been staring at a screen too long or too close?" she asked.
"No, I don't really watch tv as much as I used to." Shirou answered.
"Well from the looks of it I can say it might be a bad case of dry eyes or some inflammation. I'm going to give you some eye drops and I recommend you to be careful when showering because it looks sensitive." she explained.
Shirou nodded and sat still as the nurse came back with some eye drops.
"Hold still please." the nurse requested.
Naturally things went smooth as Shirou used all his will power to keep his eye lid open. Leaving the nurse with an easy job of pouring the down the drops. The bell went off meaning Shirou would have to go back to class and fetch his bag. Only as he was about to get up, he felt his chair snap or break in some way making him fall as he was just getting up.
The nurse managed to catch him only for Shirou to land in very compromising position. Shirou for his part didn't feel pain and attempted to get up only to feel his hand reach for something soft and squishy. He immediately turned red realizing he was touching the floor and instead felt what a grown woman is. Looking up he saw the red faced nurse.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to grab you like that!" Shirou said quickly as the nurse was ready to pass out from embarrassment.
Then suddenly the door opened, "Hey Shirou I..." Naruto walked in with Arthur right behind him holding Shirou's bag.
The two stopped and just stared Shirou who was too scared to turn to them as he was on top of the busty nurse. He could only imagine how his uncle and relative were looking at him.
"Shirou what the hell?" Naruto asked crossing his arms.
That's when the nurse regained her senses, "Don't mind him! He just fell and I tried to catch him!" she said.
Shirou quickly got off and helped her up, "Oh really?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, I was giving him eyedrops to help with his eye pain and he fell off the stool." the nurse answered.
Naruto turned to look at the fallen stool and subtly using his grids he felt something off about it.
"The wheel fell off and it looks recent too. I'm sorry for doubting Shirou." Naruto apologized looking at the stool a little bit longer.
Shirou sighed in relief, "Anyways, I think the throbbing is settling down. I should head to my next class." he said.
"Thank you for help miss..." Naruto gestured for the nurse to speak.
"Aki Nijou." she answered.
"I'm Naruto Namikaze, I'm the uncle of these two rugrats." he said ruffling Shirou and Arthur's hair much to their annoyance. "I'm also teaching their next class which is in three minutes. Boys time to hoof it!" he said dragging them out.
"I like those three." Aki said as she closed the door.
Aki then sighed and rubbed her temples before turning to the stool. Picking it up, she saw the damage and was glad the Namikaze teacher didn't point it out. From the looks of it, the wheel was ripped out with a good amount of force. Aki narrowed her eyes and glared at the corner of her office staring at an empty space.
"Which one of you was it?" Aki asked.
Then suddenly a red haired girl in a white dress with her hands behind her back.
"Give it." Aki said extending her hand.
The red haired girl looked down before handing her the black wheel from the stool.
"Did you do this yourself?" the girl nodded. "On your own accord?" she shook her head. "Then who told you to do it?" the girl pointed to her left at an open space.
A feminine looking boy with long pink hair tied in a giant braid manifested and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"Well?" Aki asked tapping her foot on the floor.
"It was Saber's idea!" he squealed when suddenly a fist hit him upside the head revealing a blond woman with green eyes wearing heavy armor.
"Why?" Aki asked.
"Didn't you see that guy's hand? He was clearly a master! I wanted to take him out, but those two stopped me." she said.
"So instead of letting you commit a murder I would have difficulty covering up. You convinced Berserker and Rider to make a student fall off of his stool?" Aki asked with disappointment in her voice.
"Hey like you told us. You had a choice to stay out of the war. Like it or not, that kid is the enemy and there's more with those other servants from the other day." Saber explained.
Aki sighed, "Can you at least avoid trying to kill someone during the middle of daylight when everyone is at the school?" she asked.
"Fine." Saber muttered.
"And you two." Aki said pointing at the other servants. "No helping her plot murder in my office again." she said.
"Right/hm." they said/muttered.
"Good." Aki said feeling better although somewhat worried about meeting Shirou Emiya again.
Removing one of her gloves, she looked at her command seals that spread all over her arm in the shape tendrils forming a claw at the back of her wrist. Aki didn't like the idea of treating her servants as tools, weapons or even slaves, but at some point she would need to use them to give them some restraint. Aki is only doing this to preserve her own freedom and life choices and she thought it would be best with servants that she could trust. Hopefully they're willing to listen to her after this near accident.
Later that night, Emiya residence
Arthur, Shirou, and Sakura all walked back home. Gowther decided to take another path and arrive home before the boys to give everyone the heads up. That left Naruto who just left with Merlin on his chopper. The redhead could only assume that they were on their way home first. Hopefully they can manage to hide themselves before they go home to avoid getting Sakura and later, Taiga, into all this. It was too much of a headache to explain and a bit hectic to be a part of.
Just as they arrived at the entrance, they could hear a loud commotion and the sound. Shirou only sighed as he was about to open the doorway when suddenly he heard a plate smash. Quickly going in and taking his shoes off, he was surprised to the sight of Meliodas hitting a wall. Meliodas didn't notice Shirou in the hall and returned to where he was. Shirou then followed him to see the door to the outside wide open.
As he went out, he could Elizabeth with her wings extended chasing around a white object in the sky.
"Shirou please come down." Elizabeth pleaded chasing the white object.
Instead the object flew towards Shirou and knocked him over as it landed. Getting face to face with the creature, Shirou saw what appeared to be a white hairy creature with two horns and blue eyes. Honestly the creature was cute until it gave him a slimey lick leaving its drool on his face. The creature soon yawned and moved around Shirou's chest before falling asleep.
(A/N: Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman, but less goat features and less legs)
"What is this thing?" Shirou asked in a whisper.
"That's your baby self Shirou." Diane whispered.
"He was just crawling around and the next thing we knew he poofed into that thing." King added.
"And we've been trying to catch it all afternoon." Elizabeth said landing quietly.
Shirou just stared wide eyed at the creature as it silently slept on his chest. Elaine and Elizabeth proceeded to carefully move him before handing baby Shirou over to Semiramis.
"You know he's pretty cute in that form alone." Elaine said.
Semiramis smiled, "He is isn't he? What am I going to do with you?" she asked stroking her hairy infant.
Then suddenly they heard the sound of an engine arriving and stopping.
"Merlin and I are home!" Naruto yelled from inside the house.
Baby Shirou woke up with a happy face, "Papa! Papa! Papa!" he cried out flying out of Semiramis's grip and flying back inside the house.
"We need to catch him." Gowther said having only recently started chasing the boy around.
"NARUTO!" Semiramis yelled.
"You say something Semi!? Why is... AHHH! What is that thing!?" Naruto yelled.
"Naruto distract it! I'll hold it down!" Merlin yelled from inside the house.
"Full Counter!" Naruto called out as a beam of light smashed through the roof of Shirou's house and ended up flying towards the other side of the city.
"Hopefully that doesn't it an innocent bystander." Elaine said.
It did not hit an innocent bystander.
With Shinji
It hit Shinji.
"Master are you alright?" asked the pink haired servant now wearing glasses and a black sweater.
"No Rider! Do I look ok?" Shinji asked as most of his body was encased in ice.
Rider proceeded to get up, "Well I can't sit here and let you stay like this." she said before leaving the room.
"Hey where are you going? Come help me." Shinji commanded.
"I will hope this becomes a good learning experience for you master." Rider said already out of the room.
Back with the Emiya reference
Back with Naruto, Merlin was about to encase baby Shirou in a perfect cube when the infant sneezed. Then suddenly, Naruto found himself catching baby Shirou who was giggling like a mad man... er, baby. Inspecting the infant, he was loss for words as he didn't understand what had just happened.
Meanwhile Arthur knocked out Sakura again, poor girl will likely have brain trauma now, leaving everyone with a chance to roam around freely. Thus they explained to Naruto about baby Shirou's transformation and dragon like appearance. To which Naruto is confused as to how an infant of less than a year old can activate his powers even on accident.
"Ok, so from the looks of it. Whatever caused baby Shirou to transform can only be reversed when he sneezes. That's going to be tricky since its like trying to tickle him." Naruto explained as baby Shirou started to fall asleep again.
Everyone was ready to collapse from having to catch the baby all afternoon. Merlin then looked at the box in her hands and the group that was only a second away from collapsing.
"I guess no one is interested in donuts Naruto." Merlin said.
"I guess not. Anyways, I think everyone should so we can wake Sakura up." Naruto said taking a donut out of the box and stuffing it in his mouth.
The next day
Seeing as it was a day off from school, everyone had their own way to plan for today. Diane and King went on a date on the town, Ban just sat back and watched tv while Elaine and Elizabeth helped Shirou clean up the house seeing as it only got more difficult with everyone staying in the house. Gowther just read a book about the modern era which turned out to be a magazine about clothing trends. Meliodas was taking care of baby Shirou and making sure he didn't turn into a dragon again thinking he wanted to spend time with his grandchild.
That left Naruto, Merlin, Semiramis, Arthur and Saber sitting in the lab Naruto gave to Merlin. Here, Semiramis was lying on a table. The reason: Naruto managed to find a way to have Semiramis break her pact with the grail nullifying her contract with it as a heroic spirit. However there were side effects and risks.
"Semi, I'm going to go over this one more time. If this works, not only are you going to be complete. You'll be a full human again, but I'm not sure how much you will change appearance wise, those pointy ears of yours are very cute." Naruto said teasing his wife.
"And the risks?" Semiramis asked with a brave face.
"You should still have access to your powers and other abilities, but your life is much more fragile. I might not be able to heal you just by transferring my mana. So the risk of death is much higher and if something happens to you... I can't bring you back." he explained fighting a lump on his throat.
Semiramis felt his sorrow and gave his hand a tight squeeze, "You know, I haven't seen you this emotional since Zeref's birth." she said as she caressed Naruto's cheek. "It shouldn't be any different from then. Think of it as a rebirth. Besides, at least Arthur won't have to worry about returning to the throne when you form a pact with him." she explained.
Arthur for his part tried to stay calm, "Merlin, there won't be any complications during this?" he asked.
"I'm not one to experiment without an extended study, but my godson says he can do it. All I can do is support him." Merlin answered.
"Will that be enough?" Saber asked.
"If you could only see everything my godson has been through. Just trust me. Don't you have any faith in your grandfather?" Merlin asked with a smirk.
"I have no choice, but to have faith in him." Arthur said sighing.
Saber nodded, "At least it's one less enemy worth fighting." she said getting slapped upside the head by Merlin.
"Clearly my counterpart never taught you manners little girl. That was very disrespectful." Merlin said with a menacing gaze making Saber whimper.
"Auntie, get the perfect cube ready." Naruto said.
Merlin nodded and formed a medium one around the married couple. Naruto kept a good hold around his wife's hand and giving a reassuring smile.
"I'm ready." Semiramis said.
Naruto nodded and created another transmutation circle. As he created it he reviewed what he would do based on his prior knowledge and what he had to lose. According to Edward Elric, this is a taboo for alchemists everywhere and Naruto was only a novice when it came to it and didn't understand the rule well at the time. Ed and his brother Al, Alphonse for short, did something similar in hopes of reviving their deceased mother. Their teacher, Izumi Curtis, committed the same mistake only she did it with her deceased infant child.
All were punished in various ways by the Truth for this transgression. Ed lost his leg and Al lost his entire body. In order to save his brother's soul, Ed used another circle and placed it on an antique suit of armor and was forced to give up an arm. That's how he became the Fullmetal Alchemist, Ed was stuck with a metallic arm and leg while people confused Al to be Fullmetal due to his suit of armor. Ed was able to reclaim his arm after Al traded his soul and Ed gave up his alchemy for Al to be returned both soul and body. Izumi lost several of her organs causing her to vomit blood at random times leaving her bound to taking special medication.
With that, he was hoping to communicate with Truth and see what he had to surrender seeing as alchemy was pointless in this case. He could do what Ed did, but it would be pointless seeing as Truth knows that Naruto can't use alchemy to help him and he barely used it at all during his lifetime as an Armstrong. Giving his wife a smile one last time. Naruto clapped his hands and activated the circle under Semiramis making the command seal on his hand go wild.
With the Truth
Said god was enjoying eating a plate of chicken wings when suddenly found himself in the middle of his white space looking at a certain blond's portal of truth.
"Don't tell me he's doing what Ed did." Truth face palmed wishing he was still eating his wings.
Then suddenly Naruto stood before him with his command seal flashing out of controllably. Behind him was Semiramis who was wide eyed and looking around her space.
"What do you want now? I brought you your parents, your aunts, uncles, Gowther, what do you want? Another baby? Power? Pleasure? Don't tell me you came here for a bottle of viagra." Truth said with a tired tone.
"No, I'm here for what belongs to me." Naruto said grabbing Semiramis's hand.
"You want your wife?" Truth asked.
"That's right!" Naruto answered.
"But she's right there." Truth said with a sweat drop.
"You know what I mean Truth. I want my full wife back. Her soul and freedom turned over to me!" Naruto practically yelled.
"Naruto what is this place!?" Semiramis asked with a terrified look.
"It won't matter what we tell you queeny. Even if I give him what he wants. You won't be around to comprehend it or remember anything." Truth said with his weird grin.
(FMA:B OST - Main Theme)
"Naruto what is he talking about?" Semiramis asked.
"Semi I wanted to deny it and you knew it the whole time. I don't know if its because you thought we were in the same boat or if you were too afraid to tell me." Naruto said as he held back his tears. "I'm the real Naruto. I'm not his spirit or form of consciousness. I'm the real deal, I'm technically not a real heroic spirit." he finished getting a shocked look.
Semiramis felt sad as she wrapped her arms around Naruto, "So that means..."
"Your not the real Semiramis, but I'm real. In order to complete you, I need summon your soul." Naruto said as he stroked her long black hair.
Semiramis remained silent as she kept her grasp around her husband. Naruto turned to look at Truth who just stared waiting for this to all end.
"So what will it be Truth? What do I have to sacrifice to complete my wife?" Naruto asked with a serious look making the deity level creature think.
"I really want those turkeys, but... I can't get rid of your alchemy or take your limbs. So... what would make you give up your wife instead?" Truth asked earning a glare that felt like he was being hit by a heat ray. "Geez, can't take a joke?" he asked.
"I want to be fully reunited my wife. I don't her to suffer being a puppet of the grail!" Naruto yelled as Semiramis winced at the idea.
"She's your polar opposite and yet you love her. Hell, to think she was everything that Saber girl failed to be. A ruler that can be female and true feminist. I remember a time she thought a woman falling in love was as ridiculous as being a baby maker. Do you really want to get stuck with that again?" Truth asked.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"How do you know I won't just kill that woman right there and give you the same woman who tried to kill you the first couple of years you knew her. Maybe the exchange I will give you involves the original Semiramis. You know the one that hates you and may never love you. Nothing but a pain or better yet, someone who only exists to loathe you?" Truth asked in a mocking tone.
Naruto closed his eyes and spoke before Semiramis could object, "Even if she hates me. Even if she doesn't want to be with me. Even she wants to kill me herself. It's a better fate than to be trapped fighting like a dog for someone else's amusement for a corrupt force a nature based on false promises!" Naruto yelled making Truth go quiet.
"And most teens just leave a girl when she gets clingy. You sir, have my respect." Truth said with a clap. "Anyways, I have a good idea of what to take from you. Two things to be exact and I'm only telling you one." he said as he pulled out an orb with a shadow inside.
"Fine what is my penalty for demanding my wife's freedom?" Naruto asked.
"One, you will find out your punishment on your own. I won't take away anything specific like a limb or ability, but added something that will hurt you when you realize it." Naruto nodded slowly as that was rather confusing to understand. "Two, Semiramis will not have any memory or knowledge of the Holy Grail War or any of the times she participated. Especially now since you summoned her. Everything else will stay." he finished.
"Then what will I have left?" Semiramis asked nervously.
"Your powers would be one since you're still yourself and frankly, your memory and experience of your past life when you married this idiot. Your physical body will still remain the same since this is how the world conceptualizes you. So sorry if you stay looking like an elf Mrs. Pointy ears." Truth said as the orb above his hand floated towards them.
Semiramis looked at the orb and saw a feminine figure in a dress. She took it and stared at it feel some level of anxiety. Naruto grasped her hand and gave it a comforting grip.
"Are you ready to do this? You won't remember anything related to me summoning you." Naruto said.
"I know, not only that. I'll forget everyone, Shirou, the baby, Saber, Arthur, everyone. It will be a lot especially since I will an ancient woman trapped in the modern day who's last memory is of my death." Semiramis explained as she revealed fear in her voice.
"Semi, no matter what happens. I will always be by your side even if your stuck being a lobotomized old woman. I will do everything in my power to keep you happy." Naruto said as he looked at her in the eyes.
Semiramis looked at the orb once more before before a lone tear fell from her eye, "Promise you will never leave my side. No matter what kind of person I turn out to be?" she asked.
Naruto pulled her in for one last hug, "Even if I'm not always around, even if the morrow is barren with promises..."
"Nothing will forestall your return." Semiramis finished.
"Tick tock you two. I still have a plate of wings to finish." Truth said tapping on his hand like he has a watch.
"Naruto Armstrong Uzumaki Namikaze, you will always be the one and only man who I will ever love." Semiramis said as she kept the orb close to her heart before Naruto pulled her close for a passionate kiss.
"Aw so sweet, you better not bother me for anything else!" Truth said as he kicked the two of them out of his domain.
(End of Song)
Back to reality
Merlin released the cube as the couple returned. Naruto came walking out with Semiramis sleeping in his arms with an empty orb in her arms.
"Did it work?" Merlin asked.
"Only one way to find out. I'll wait for her to wake up." Naruto said as he began to walk out. "Oh and Arthur, let me know when you want to form a pact. I can start feeding you mana at a more natural rate that way." Naruto stopped again. "It would also help if Saber wasn't sleeping next to you whenever she doesn't do the same with Shirou." he finished making both blush.
"What have you been doing?" Arthur asked Saber.
"I need the mana to sustain myself! Shirou doesn't have enough and Naruto doesn't cook all the time!" Saber answered with a look of desperation.
"You are very a strange... sister? Doppelganger? Twin? Counterpart?" Arthur asked unsure of what to make of Saber.
"Not your girlfriend that's for sure." Merlin chuckled.
"That is so wrong on so many levels." Saber said already forgetting how Mordred was conceived.
"Poor Saber-chan will never learn how to love. Even if its a familial type of love." Merlin said as she went back to her work.
'She is so much different from my Merlin. Is she just as powerful?' Saber wondered.
With Naruto, a while later
Naruto just sat on a chair watching over his sleeping wife. Deep down he was worried about how much of her mind was affected. Then there was the Truth who said he took away two things. Her memories of everything dating back to her initial summoning and something else that he has to figure out. Whatever it is doesn't matter, because at least now Semiramis doesn't have to worry about being used like a slave to fight for someone else's amusement.
So long as his family and everyone he cared about was safe, nothing else mattered. Now everyone he knows can live a happy life without being tied down to a curse like the grail. If possible, maybe he could convince Arthur to let go of the idea of competing for the grail as well. It might be difficult, but who knows, maybe the boy will see things his way.
"Mmm... mmmhh..."
Naruto wiped his eyes and noticed Semiramis started to toss and turn in her sleep. A few minutes later she started to yawn and her eyes started to flutter. Naruto smiled as Semiramis began to wake up. He got up from his chair as Semiramis started to get up from her bed and rubbed her eyes. For a brief moment, the former assassin stared at her husband in confusion.
"Zeref? Why are you blond?" Semiramis asked in a dry voice.
Naruto smiled and hugged Semiramis as he laughed at her senile mind. Semiramis may be a healthy 20 something year old, but her mind was probably rotating around oatmeal, medication and sending people off to their death.
"Zeref why are you so affectionate all of a sudden? While your at it where is your older sister? What is this room by the way?" Semiramis continued to ask like she really was an old lady.
"Semi do I really look like my own son?" Naruto asked as he was looking at her face to face.
Semiramis was stunned and slowly pushed herself away, "I must be hallucinating. Albedo if this is some sort of cruel joke stop it! I do not like it when you use your own father to mess with my mind!" she demanded as she almost fell back on her bed.
Naruto started to slowly walk towards the retreating ruler as she tripped back on her hair, "Semi this isn't a prank or an illusion. I'm really here." he said reaching out for her.
(FFVII OST - Aerith's Theme)
Semiramis shook her head, "Begone spirit! I may be withered, but I am not ready for the afterlife just yet! How dare you take the shape of my deceased husband!?" she demanded as she pointed a finger at Naruto.
"Semi please..." Semiramis tried to slap him away.
"No get back foul ghoul. So long as I have my..." Semiramis reached for her neck finding only empty space. "Where is it? Where have you taken it!? Where is my pendant!?" she yelled as tears began to swell up in her eyes.
"Semi..."
"Don't you dare call me that! I am Semiramis! The queen of Assyria! Only the man I loved can call me that!" Semiramis proclaimed as tears began to fall.
"Semiramis, I am the real Naruto. I never died! I was trapped in the pendant for many years! I know its a lot to take in, but..." Semiramis just stared at him like he was a mad man. "Here just follow me." Naruto said dragging his wife into the bathroom to look in the mirror.
"AAAAHHH!" Semiramis screamed.
"Semi calm down, sure you have pointy ears now, but... your young and beautiful." Naruto said hoping to calm her down.
"Why is my hair so long?" Semiramis asked seeing that it was longer than a fine carpet in her palace.
"You need a haircut?" Naruto asked with a sheepish smile.
Semiramis proceeded to slap him. Before she could reprimand him everything came seeking itself back into her. The man was able to grab her and she was able to physically harm him. Not only that, he came up with a stupid joke that made her senses tell her that he needed to die.
"N-Naruto? H-husband? I-is t-that really you?" Semiramis asked slowly coming to her senses.
"Are you finally coming to your senses? I swear I was going to poison myself if it meant snapping you out of it." Naruto said before Semiramis held Naruto in a death grip shaped as a hug.
"Naruto... you really are back! My husband has finally come back to me!" she cried as the two kissed. "Naruto we have to tell Zeref and Albedo! Our children will be happy to know your alive and back." she said as she pulled on his hand only for the blond to stay in place.
"Semi, I think I need to explain a few things to you before we do anything crazy." Naruto said making Semiramis look at him in confusion.
"What is it Naruto?" Semiramis asked.
"Well you see it all started a few days ago when I was released from the pendant..." Naruto trailed off as he began to learn about the events of the Holy Grail War up until now where she lost her memory of being an assassin class servant.
Elsewhere
A black clad armored figure can be seen running through several tree branches in a forest before standing atop of a large hill. The figure looked over Fuyuki city before sitting down in a crossed legged position. The figure proceeded to remove their helmet and stuck their head out revealing their features. A pale woman with long black hair, yellow eyes and two horns coming out of the side of her head.
The woman revealed a key from her a string around her neck. A lock appeared on the ground in front of her and she opened it. Inside was a large security deposit box with many contents. One of which a locket with a golden triskele on the cover. Opening it she saw a blond man with black haired woman, both were smiling and holding young children. The woman let a single tear drop before closing it and wrapping it around her neck.
Looking deeper she pulled out a large scythe looking weapon. It was able to change multiple colors before landing on green. The scythe had a curved handle and skull on top with the colored blade coming out of its mouth similar to a dragon breathing fire. She stroked the side of the blade before putting it back as well. She smiled at the weapon, it was her only proof of her lineage. Like the legend of Karna who had his golden armor, she had one of the treasure of her father.
"They may be weapons and seen as tools to any ignorant warmonger, but those are just little knick knacks compared to my real treasures."
"What is your treasure father?" the woman asked looking up at the sky.
"My real treasures are invaluable and irreplaceable. You just happen to be one of them my little princess."
The woman felt more tears fall down her cheeks at her favorite memory. She briefly closed her eyes before opening them again revealing her golden orbs turn black with a purple hue and no pupils. A small mark in the shape of a claw made its appearance around her eye as black shadowy wings manifested on her back.
"I will find you father. I don't want to be alone anymore." she said before jumping off the hill and taking to the skies before cloaking herself in order to avoid drawing attention to the public.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Notes: The scythe was an artifact from World of Warcraft like many other weapons that will be mentioned. This one was, Ulthalesh the Deadwind Harvest, Challenging Spine of the Condemned.
Yes Seven Deadly Sins and Fullmetal are also in this story with the latter only being mentioned and likely not playing much of a role later in the story anymore.
