AN: hey this is maticore this is my usual pre-chapter notice. This is my notice proclaiming that I do not own either the Fate series nor the harry potter series.

Return of the guardians

She was sprawled out across her double bed. Her platinum air spread out and cascaded making it almost impossible to tell just who was underneath the strands of silken hair. If the girls uncle Zelretch had shown up he would have been poking fun at her by saying that no matter where in the multiverse there is not a version of her that can get out of bed easily.

So it is with that horrifying thought about the troll of the clock tower that Ilya starts to drag herself out of bed. She is the ruler of this war now she must be ready to intervene in case of trouble.

So it was with a groan she pulled her lithe body out of bed and put on her combat outfit and headed into the dining room. Following her nose she could tell that her adopted brother had left her a freshly made breakfast. Shirou might not be her actual brother but she really did love him like one …. especially when he did things like this.

It was because of this that she was very protective of him, especially when it came to girls. She didn't want to see him hurt so she always ...Vetted his possible partners. She had to make sure that her brother was with some one who cared for him! Didn't she?

Upon her arrival in the main room of the house she noticed that both Shirou and tohsaka had left for school. She could only give a small grunt at that as only a fool would attack a school during the day. Especially when the announcement of a ruler had been made. What did surprise her was that saber was in the dojo so curiosity getting the better of her she just had to ask.

"good morning" Ilya chirped with a bright smile on her face that tugged a small smile on the upset face of arturia. "what's wrong?If you don't mind me asking?" Ilya asked with a slight tilt to her head.

Heaving a reluctant sigh arturia looked at her decendant, who was looking at her with those big green doe eyes filled with concern. She couldn't help but be moved by the thought 'She would do better with her than she did mordred. She did after all help her reconcile with her astranged daughter.'

"I am having trouble as due to not receiving enough mana I cannot heal properly nor astralize." sighing again as she knew she shouldn't complain but it was just so frustraiting. It was here that the girl nodded with an appreciative sound. "it is true brother shirou does not have allot of magic circuits but he does use them well." Ilya said nodding as the skill imparted to her with the ruler class had told her who Archer was.

"For now I can ask mordred to watch over him until I can talk to him about this situation. Does this sound agreeable. This way you spend time with me knowing that you master is safe under the watch of a servant who has lived with your master for years and grown attached to him?"at this Mordred Astrelized into the room looking as if she was itching for a fight.

"Would you do this daughter?" asked Artoria in response Mordred snorted The boy might not be my favourite but he is interesting enough not to see him dead. Besides its only for one day and you still need to get to know little missy there." at this Ilya started to smile at both of the older women knowing that she had won.

"Well then I agree to your proposal." said Artoria much to Ilyas delight and a sniggering Mordred who just started to Astralize she walked out.

Not long after Mordred Left, Ilya and Saber left after finding some suitable 'civilian' clothes for her to wear. Ilya was trully thanking all of the stars in the heavens that they where nearly the same size. Ilya took more after mordred who had a larger bust than artoria so Ilya had to adjust some of her cloths to fit properly but other wise they were perfect.

They started off with headed out to see the sights such as the park where the war ended and the bridge. Ilya had told her about the shipe and how it was famous for sinking to unknown causes. It was here that Artotia filled her in on what happened in the fourth war it was here that she got a idea. Asking Artoria to follow she headed down to the beach she set up repelling wards and bounded fields before turning to the water.

Looking out to the water she focused and channeled the summoning spell on words 'gilgamesh's weapons'. It seemed as if nothing had happened there was no noise, no movement, no nothing. Then there was a surge of water, as if it was being dregged. A small pile of about twenty weapons. All of which where impossibly powerful, each with an increadable legend such as the spear khazekly bey. To make things better fifteen of the twenty where new acquisitions. To her collection. Putting them in her mokeskin pouch for later and lowering the barriers they headed to a restaurant.

It was here that they ran into another master and one that they both knew. Ilyasviel* von einzbern. Ilyas* adopted big sister and sabers former masters daughter.

"Good after noon my big sister" cheerfully said Ilya looking at the small girl with a smile on her face she couldn't help but think that the scowl on her face was utterly adorable.

"Hello Nee-chan it is a pleasure to meet you too, I see that you have summoned the same saber servant as my father did in the previous war?" Stated Ilyasviel maintaining the air of civility with the girl in front of her whilst in her head she wanted to do nothing more than to have her beserker to smash her to pulp.

"Ohh me? Ohh no this is shirous servant." Ilya said nodding her head getting a shocked look from the girl "you see my familiar is a servant and thus is watching shirou for the day whilst I spend the day getting to know my ancestor." she told the girl with a beaming smile.

"Any way I have been so looking forward to meeting you. True I knew that the einzberns would have twisted you into a tiny killing machine but your my sister and I want to spend time with you. " said Ilya nodding her head with a happy smile on her face.

By this point Ilyasviel was thoroughly confused. She had always been taught that the war was a free for all, kill or be killed yet here was a girl wanting to be with her. She had never had that since mommy and daddy. The girl must have noticed as the next thing she knew she was engulfed in a comfortably warm embrace. This was another thing that she missed from mommy.

It was true that she was a humonceulus and that she was older than the girl next to her but her development was slower. She whilst her age was in her early twenties her mental age was about ten. Just because she could hide behind a emotionless mask did not mean that she didn't want the touch of a mother to comfort her. It was then that she heard the girl talking again.

Looking up she saw she was on a mobile. ".. yeah i'm with her now. …. yeah I think she has been neglected for a while and essencially been round pegged into a weapon roll. Uhu? Okay, wana talk to her? Got it."

It was then she took the device away from her ear and held it to her before saying "some one wants to talk" said Ilya holding the mobile towards the small girl.

Taking the device in her shaking hands she put it to her ear. Once their she heard a voice, a familiar voice. "hey lil snowstorm..."
