A few weeks after the fifth Holy Grail War.A tired Tohsaka Rin after handling all the reports to the Mage Association about the fifth Holy Grail War receiced a call from the Church
"Huh?"Rin shouted "What the hell?What do you mean a new priest will come and resume my guardianship?"
On the other end of the antique phone,a voice of a man can be heard
"As you can see Tohsaka Rin,since your city previous priest is dead and he also your guardian" the male voice said "So we decided that the new official priest shall resume your guardianship"
Rin rub her forehead "And what is the meaning behind this?"
"Please considering its an apologize of the church" the man continue to explains "Sir Tokiomi was a great benefector to the church and as Kirei Kotomine – a priest off the church killed feel that we have certain degree of responsibility for the incidents"
Rin sigh "Hmm I guess I can understand somewhat of your when will he come here"
"I think he already at the church and resume the work by now" the person on other side of the line said "Oh,and I can assure you that his personality will be decent,after all both of us don't want another incident like Kirei Kotomine all the paperwork for his resume of your guardianship is already done so you should have no worry about that"
"Well thank for the head up atleast" And Tohasaka Rin shut the phone right after saying the last word.
"Guess I should go to the church and see this new priest then"Rin thought
After a little while to walk from her home to the church,she is now infront of her destination
"Huh,they sure work fast.I can't feel anymore of the ominous air when Kirei was why do I feel like there an bounded field around the church"
Proceed to reach the church's door,Rin decided to knock on the door.
After a little time with the sound of walking that getting closer and closer to the entrance,the door a man in priest robe,he was as tall as Kirei Kotomine,the look of an Eroupean and Japanese half-blood,blonde hair with brown eyes.
He have a certain aura of calmness yet fill with passion,noble yet that fit to the role of a priest unlike that cursed Kirei Kotomine
The man before her asked" What may I help you yong miss"
"Ah yes I heard that the new priest is in town" Rin answered "So I came here to see for myself,the name Tohsaka Rin"
The new priest eyes widened "Ah you are Fuyuki's Second are you here perhap for a talk ?"
"Quite the polite one huh,now Kirei on the surface is the same so let not asume thing yet"
"Yes" Rin answered
"Is that so?"the priest said "If that so then please come in, the thing we talk about might not be suitable to be heard in open space after all"
Rin nodded,following the new priest inside the inside the two decided to sit down and have a little talk
"Say,why do I feel there a bounded field around the church Mr …?" Rin asked
"Ah,where my manner,my name is Tadaka Astortes"Answered the man "And for your question,yes there "is" a bounded field around the will keep unsavory visitor from being unoticed"
"Hmm,I thought the church do not like the way magus work?" Rin asked
"Well yes if you ask a priest trained from young age that is" Tadaka stop for a second "But I'm an magus before I become a priest albeit just I'm just a second rate one at best"
"Eh so you a magus aswell"
Rin asked leaning foward "Do you gonna try to experiment around?After all the previous priest do almost whatever he liked after all and here you are an magus before"
"I shall do no such thing" Tadaka answered "For I left the Association precisely because of such detestable actions happened if we are magus,there should be a moral threshold that none must they don't like half-blood of some back water country like me"
"If only those magus can be a little like you" Rin muttered
"Back to my reason to come here" Rin said "So you are my new guardian?"
"Yes,on the paper atleast" Felanx answer with a smile "Whatever you do is not for me to judge well except things that on the legal side of the world that is"
"Hmmm is that so" Rin hummed "Well as I already here might as well ask a few more question,do you mind?"
"I do not mind.I will try to answer at best as I can"The priest smiled,a gentle smile unlike Kirei wicked one
….
"Its seem to be late,I should head back home,thank you for your time father Tadaka,talking to you was much more comfortable than to Kirei Kotomine" Rin said with a smile
"The pleasure is mine miss Tohsaka,please be careful on your way back" the priest say with a certain tone of worry
"I will,I will"said Rin as she left the church
…
Its is now May,Tohsaka Rin is already enter her last year at Homurahara school.
As she walks from her classroom after the last class,she found out a little conversation of Sakura classmates in the today her sister is not at if the feel of an bad omen hit her,she decided to overheard the conversations
"Hey have you heard,there a fire at Sakura house"The girl said with a neutral tone
"Eh?A fire at house at Matou-san house?What happened"
"I heard from my brother that it seem like a case the firefighter came,they only found Sakura alive although she already unconscious"
"What about her condition" one of the girl asked with worrrying voice
"Its seem that she only suffer light burn and smoke inhalation" the first girl answered much to the other relief
"That could have been worse if it was actually intentional"
"That sad,not only did her brother died,now her grandfather all alone now"
"Where was she now?"asked one of the girl
"My brother said that she was moved to …."
Without needed to hear to the end of the conversation,Tohsaka Rin rushes to the hospital where Sakura arriving at the hospital entrance,she encountered Emiya Shirou,who is now panting from running at full speed.
"Eh.. What are you doing here Emiya-kun?" She asked while still trying to regain her breathe
"I heard the Matou mansion is burned own,Sakura is hospitalized so I decided to rush here" Panting Shirou answered
"So you came for the same reason,I guess we can go in together then"Rin said
With Shirou affirmative nod,the two of them proceed to ask the hospital reception desk for information and go to Sakura arrival they found out that Sakura have already awake.
"Sakura are you okay" both the raven hair and the red head ask approaching her bed.
"Ah yes Nee-san senpai" answered Sakura
Hearing that the two people let out a sigh of relief
"Sakura,do you remember anything before you lose consciousness?"asked Rin
"Umm,I think the fire happened when I already aslept so I don't know really.I'm sorry.." with a dissapointed shound Sakura answered
"No,you don't need to sorry,it's not your fault"Rin cut off Sakura words.
While asking about Sakura sensed something not right,looking at her hand he detected an bracelet that letting out a very small magical this discovery he immidiately notice Rin.
"Hey Tohsaka-san,on Sakura hand,that bracelet seem to radiates magical signiture" Shirou told Rin
" it can I see that" Rin requested lightly
With puzzle look Sakura landed her sight on the bracelet "But I never have this bracelet on or ever see it before"
"Eh" both the raven hair and the red head said in and surprised expression
Still,Sakura remove the bracelet and handed it to a few minute upon further examination,Rin able to confirmed that this is in fact an mystic code and a decent one as well.
"Say Sakura can I take back home to inspect this?" Rin asked
"Of course nee-san"said Sakura
Right after that,the nurse enter the room requested Shirou and Rin to leave so that the doctor can start checking Sakura two of them decided to leave from the hospital,before part way,Rin told Shirou that she will try to investigate the mystic code tonight and tell him what she find that it is the best course of actions,Shirou nodded in agreement
Remembered that its already late Shirou ran as fast as he can,trying to buy ingridients for arrived back to Emiya residence still carrying the ingridients bag Shirou was greeted by Illya and Fuji-nee
"Welcome home Shirou" said in unison by both the Tiger and the white hair girl
"I'm home.I'm going to cook now so please wait for a bit" With that being said he proceed to the the meal for the three of thems
"Ne Shirou,why are you so late today?" Illya asked
"Ah,about that I come to visit Sakura at hospital with Tohsaka-san "
"Sakura got hospitalized?"Illya asked curiously
"Oh I heard about that" Taiga commented "Its seem that her house got burned say that might be a arson case"
"An arson case?" Illya tilted her head
"Ma..ma..let talk about it later,the food is ready" As he said,Shirou bring out the dinners for the three of eating they have some little over what happened in the that Taiga return to her home.
"Shirou?Is something wrong?" Illya asked noticing that something is off about Shirou after he return from the hospital with how he act
"Ah" Shirou who now in deep thought snapped out "Ah its just that there something not right about Sakura case and I prefer not talk about it infront of Fuji-nee"
"Did it had something to do with the moon lit world?" Illya asked
"From what I and Tohsaka found,some magi have done it,Sakura's grandfather was definitely his primary target" With a little pause Shirou continue "Also who ever did,left a mystic code on Sakura,Tohsaka take it home to inspect it"
"Say Illya,do you think there more to this than just ro kill Sakura's grandpa"asked Shirou
"To be honest,I have no idea,but its highly possible than there more" Illya said this time with a serious tone
….
On the next day
After the school hours done,Shirou decided to find Rin to talk about the yesterday's its not took too long since Rin also go look for him.
"Oh Tohsaka,have you find anything?" Shirou asked
"Yes" Rin said and after a pause whe continued "I have found what the mystic code do"
Noticing some hesitation in Rin voice when talking about it
"Is there something wrong with the mystic code?" Shirou asked
After a few second of silence Rin speak
"Yeah from what I found,the mystic code act as a communicator,there also a recorded message inside it" Rin said "And I believe that we should talk about in more detail.I even want to ask Illyasviel about this too so can we talk at your house Emiya-kun?"
"Sure"Shirou gave his aproval
"Also I will invite a acquaintance of mine to come as well do you mind?And since it involve Sakura directly she will be there as well since she will be out of hospital at this Friday"
"No,if you trust him the I don't think I mind at all" Shirou said
"Then all good,let us meet at your house this Saturday then"Rin declares
Shirou nodded in that day he returned home and inform the news to Illya and to his surprise,Illya accepted the meeting without any problems
~Saturday:
On the morning of Saturday,Rin,Sakura and Rin's acquaintence arrived infront of Emiya they stand infront of the house Shirou go greet them
"Oh Tohsaka,Sakura and ummm…"
"The name Tadaka Astortes,the church new priest and miss Tohsaka Rin's new guardian"Rin's acquaintance introduced
" .Ah yes,please come in Illya already waiting in the living room"
So the three arriver follow Shirou into the as all five people have setlle down in their's sit they begin the talk.
"Well let us start" Rin begin " As all of us know by now this mystic code act at a communicator left by who ever set the fire,effectively kill off Matou Zolgen but ensure to left Sakura alive"
After Rin words,the people all have a confusion expression their face
"But the more importance thing is that he left a message inside this mystic as the saying "see it to believe it" please look at it" As she finished Rin give people copy of the arsonist message
Greeting
My name is of course not of importance.
You may ask why did I kill Matou Zolgen and why do I left Matou Sakura the answer it can be said to my favour to a certain person Matou Sakura you want to know more,you can try to contact me through the mystic code by drop on it the blood of the Matou know that you shouldn you tell this to people of the Association,you shall never found any trace of me forever and get the story behind my I can senses thing through that mysteic code
Finished reading the copy,everyone have different seem look look skeptical while the priest keep a stoic face,not showing any of his thought on his face.
"So this magus kill Zolgen and left Sakura because of a favour?"Shirou ask with a confused tone
"But why left me alive"Sakura said with the same way Shirou said
"Its feel strange" Illya commented "If he target the Matous then he should also killed Sakura but here she is"
"Unless the favour is to kill the Matous with the excpetion of Sakura only" Illya give a statement
"I think that as who could the he own a favour to the point of acting like that" Rin added to Illya words
"So we dealing a mysterious magus with an mysterious intention then" the priest comments
And so after an debate that last about 30 minutes,they decided to call this mysterious magus
Proceed with the plan,Sakura cut a little bit on her finger,letting droplet of blood fall on to the contact with the blood,the mystic code lit up a little,indicating it is working.
From the bracelet a voice start to speak
"Ah I see so you finally decide to contact me" the voice sound distorted as like an machine trying to sound human.
"Forgive me to hide my identity and even my voice for there magus who can trace identity through just sheer voice of an person"
Pausing a little the man continue "Oh what a surprise group a people,5 people of the moonlit world,4 master of the fifth Holy Grail war,1 supposed to be dead on priest who used to be a of the odds heh"
Hearing the information everyone except Sakura who look down turn surprised,not understanding why the magus said 4 master is here
As if he sensed the confusion of the people in the room like what the man stated in the message
"Ah I see,I should clarify one thing" the mysterious magus declare "Matou Shinji was never Rider true master,he obtain one of Rider's command seal with the Book of False Attendent"
The man pause,causing the 4 people to hold breathe waiting for the reveal
"Rider true master is Matou Sakura"
And as the last word said,Rin,Shirou,Illya and even Takada eyes widened,non of them can say Sakura just continue to look down with fear in her mind
Snapped,Rin turned back to her sister
"Sakura,is it true"
"Yes"with a small voice only enough to be heard,she replied
Rin eyes widened again with shock,unable to understand the current development with others showing the same reactions
Before Rin could ask anymore the unknown magus continued his speech
"Now now miss Tohsaka Rin,you shouldn't press her too much"
"Wait how do you know know who I am?"Rin questioned
"Remember the message,I can sense things through the mystic code itself and I have done quite some research about all of you before I act" the man replied casually
This action cause Shirou gulped since he known that they are in the light while he was in the dark
"So you research about everyone,even just a new priest coming to town?"Takada stated with an raised eyebrow
"Of course" the magus said "After all you are miss Tohsaka new guardian after all"
This statement made the stoic priest squimmed his eyes
"Now seem like we off Sakura as I mentioned I left you a live our of a favour so do I done several things on your body"
"What have you done to my sister"Rin shouted
"Nothing bad,all I done is for her own good health and a better future"the man replied
Knowing that she can't accuse him of anything yet,Rin returned to silence
Sensing that the unknown magus continue
"Miss Sakura,please do tell them what happened to you inside the Matou house"
"But.."Sakura try to refuse
"Do not afraid" The magus said with an assurance voice "Before I kill off Matou Zolgen for good and burnt the mansion,I have removed all the crest worms and the lesser grail fragment from your can't do you harm anymore"
Hearing that she doesn't have to suffer Zolgen's treatments anymore,tears starting to pour out of her eyes and she start crying,a cry of both sadness and it the four other people in the room inwardly understand that whatever happened,it not a good story at took a few minutes for Rin to calm her down.A few moment after she stopped crying,Sakura begin to tell her story inside the Matou family with the mysterious magus added bit and bit of informations to help show a clearer picture
~Some moment later
After Sakura finish her ,Shirou,Illya and Takada show a varieties of emotions
Rin showed a clear indication of show a face of feel sympathy for Sakura,after all she was in the same situation as even the usually stoic priest,show a digusted face toward the Matou's actions
"I can't believed,those ****ing Matous,I should have murdered him at the school"Rin shouted in anger
"I can't believed they can done such actions" was Shirou and Tadaka thought.
Illya just remain silent
"Wait" Rin shouted "I know this maybe not be something you can reveal but who do you own a favour to do all those thing for Sakura?"
Hearing Rin words,there a pause on the other side then suddenly the man said
"Does the name Matou Kariya ring any bell"
"Huh?" Rin exclaimed "What do the runner of the Matou family have anything to do …"
"Wait" with widened eyes Sakura interject "You saying that the person you own a favour to is uncle Kariya?"
"That is correct Matou Sakura" the mysterious magus confirmed Sakura question
"I know Kariya in the mundane world,as he have no idea I'm a to certain circumstances I become indebt to used to talk about how he wanted to save you out of the Matou family while we I look into his mind and found out the truth"
"Ten years ago I found him dead,further investigation show he died during the fourth Holy Grail the years with more investigation,I reach a conclusion to his and your story"
After that he relay what his finding about Kariya's actions in the fourth Holy Grail War,finishing the details he continue his talk
"So I decided to pay back my debt to him by getting you out of the horrors of the Matous so that you can live a normal live like how him wanted you to be"
"Thank.. … you sir" Sakura thanking the unknown man,tears fall from ger eyes
"There no need to thank one you should thank is Kariya for he sacrifices his live to get you normal life you deserved" The magus said
"With that said" the mysterious magi declare "Many thing is concluded,now its not my job anymore so I shall be off for you guy to decide futures to come"
"Oh and you not gonna be able to use that mystic code anymore,for I made it so that it a one time use thing all mystic element will begone from it a few minutes after our conversation you can still uses it as an jewelry and it certainly held monetary value in the mundane world"
"So good lục to you all"
Right after the unknown man say the last words,the mystic code stop can feel the mystical sense fading away from it
"Okay now what?" Illya said looking at Rin
"To be honest I'm not so sure myself" Rin said with an uncertain tone "Since the Matou are all died off now,she will need a new guardian,and I can't think anyone that can do it since even if she stay with Emiya-kun,handling Fujimura-sensei gonna be a pain"
"I don't think Fuji-nee are that bad" Shirou cut off Rin word
As all of them thinking how to deal with it,the priest made a suggestion
"How about I take upon her guardian role?"
Everyone surprised at Tadaka suggestion
"Are you sure about that?" Rin asked
"Of course" the priest replied casually
"The paperwork can be done easily as you are a priest and a what a bout finacial" Shirou asked the priest
Hearing this the priest show a wry smile "Even if I'm a priest now,I'm still a magus thank to that I have earned an decent amount of asset with I believe that it will be suffice in this matter"
"O..okay"Rin said with a little skeptical about the priest words
"You don't have to be skeptical miss Tohsaka" the priest try to clear Rin's skeptic
"Well with that out the ways,let us talk about others thing aswell" Shirou declare getting Rin and Tadaka attention back to the matter.
So they returned back to the topic at hand
With further discussion of Rin,Sakura and Takada with some minor advice from Shirou and Illya is decided that Tadaka will take guardianship over Sakura and providing her funding for her life untill she found a job to sustain he now both the two girls guardian,Sakura will live with Rin from now Kariya wish to united the two sister seperated by theirs father ambitions is finally completed.
