I don't own anything except my imagination. also, f-ck my friend for stealing my lunch
She never thought the day of the holy grail war had arrived, for more than 10 years it seemed like a dream. She had joined it in her father's stead, and she wasn't planning on letting anyone take her pride. Her father had taught her to be the leader of the Tohsakas, Rin knew that the responsibility that she had to take was on her shoulders on that day when her mother went insane and only Kotomine Kirei walked back to her home. Still, her start in the holy grail war isn't what she hoped for.
"Let's be comrades, we don't have to kill each other then we can decide later what to do with the grail" Rin stared at her.
"What will be good in teaming up with you?" Her senpai pointed at her.
"You want my Saber so much didn't you? I can give my authority to you,not my command seals by the way"
"Second, we can share information, since you're not capable of conjuring that boundary field, we can track the master together! "
Her eyes shined into Rin's pupil. Rin signed, "Alright" The white-hair's expression lit up like a candle. "Now let's stop fighting!"
It was two in the morning when she woke up, it wasn't her home nor the school. It was a Japanese-style house.(maybe it was too big for a house) She sat up on the futon, realizing she has slept in her school uniform. She carefully pieced it together. Well, first she had gone to Illya's home to discuss their plan. then, Illya handed her instant noodles and she mistook beer for apple juice—
Oh. So that's what happened
Rin pushes the door open and walked down the hall turning left on the corner only to find more doors. 'This place is starting to annoy me' She turned another turn finding yet another hallway. "Rin?" A familiar voice was heard from behind. "S-senpai What are you doing here?" "It's my house, of course I live here" Rin wanted to slapped her own face. "I mean, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
"Shouldn't I ask you too?" She moaned in frustration. "I should go home,I'm bothering you already" Illya cocked her head to the side, again. "Huh? You're not bothering me at all" "I—is that so?" Her senpai smiled. This was getting heated.
"If you're hungry I have more ramen"
"No thank you" Rin forced a wry smile.
She was considering taking her senpai to the church.
"That was nothing..." Waver laid on the wooden floor. "At least we found something...right?" Melvin averted his eyes from the map. "I sense a presence of servants there" Rider said "really?" The green-haired rose up. "Yeah,probably three" The servant went back to gaze at his video game,the boy with glasses asleep on his lap. "Are you going to allow him to sleep like that?" Waver asked "Yeah, he's exhausted so I see nothing wrong"
"No—I mean fu-!" "Language boy, language " Rider shot him a glance. Waver ignored him "For Merlin's sake! We can't even track down the master who cast a bounded field and wasted our mana on nothing!"
"Why do you want to track down the master after Caules just told you a short story that he went to the store and sense a bounded field at that school?" Melvin signed,fluffing up his pillow. "I just wanted to—"
"Hey boy" Rider turned around to face him. "What is your wish anyways?"
"Huh, funny that I just asked the same thing to him 2 days ago" Melvin said though his pillows "Well, he ignored it"
Waver glared at the two of them and shut his eyes, not daring to get on bed.
It was cold when drops of rain splattered on his uniform. Still, it wasn't that cold because his weak circuits were keeping him warm. It never stops the droplets of the sky continues on and he continued staring at the wet ground. His paperwork and books drenched with muddy water. He never thought of picking them up nor did thought of going home since there's no one there. He didn't knew how much time has passed until the street lights shined up above his head. The rain,heavier than before couldn't interrupt his thoughts. Maybe he snapped right at that moment when the kids at school teased how short he is or his dying parents still refused to teach him mage craft. His grade didn't seem to matter, they won't teach him magecraft. If his goal was that unreachable, why is it that many people accomplished it. What was the point of being a magus anyways.
"Hey, you there" A voice pulled him from his thoughts. He must've looked terrible when he raised up his head. A man was standing before him. "You're a magus too aren't you?" Waver nodded "Because you're a magus doesn't mean you can test yourself by standing in the rain dammit"
The man signed, handing him an umbrella. Waver didn't know his name but he was the reason he sold everything even his home to came to clock tower.
That was three or two years ago, he didn't quite remember it but the first person who called him a magus was still in his mind.
He fell to sleep on that floor in Rider's protests
Shinji looked at his bloodied hands. He was hurt in many places. So much for Sakura refusing to use command seals. Berserker was growling, Sakura was nowhere to be seen and he was left alone with this-monster.
A giant club was brought down again, Shinji barely leaping in time. He didn't know what kind of experiment he was placed to do but surviving alone in this situation is hard. He opened up the book and summoned the purple chains to restrain berserker. The servant growled, breaking it into pieces. Berserker uses a lot of mana, so much that Sakura alone cannot do it, his consciousness alone was hard to maintain and Shinji was fighting an unjust game.
He panted, his head hurt due to the injury berserker threw him before. Blood was dripping down and he felt he might lose consciousness any second. He opened the book again and healed himself a bit. His mana was too low to heal any scratches so this book was the only hope of surviving. He ran to he side as berserker stamped his feet, breaking the floor, the floor shook and the book slipped out of his hands. Berserker was coming closer, not like in the day when he was calmer his red eyes glimmered reflecting in Shinji's pupils. He backed away suddenly and everything was in a slow motion. 'i want to live I want to live!" Those words keep repeating itself in his mind. Shinji mouthed the words those familiars whispered to him. He felt something, like his skin was ripping. Everything went black after that.
"It seems my training isn't wasted after all "
Zouken looked at his passed out grandson. "The truth is when one's life is about to be taken, they search everything they could to survive,memories or something new that they haven't discovered " A clap was heard. "That's a lame way of opening up forced circuits but you did it grandpa! " Sakura made a surprised face.
"I am Assassin, May I ask are you my master?" Issei nodded, unable to speak. The servant merely walked up to him and slung an arm around his neck. "So, when are we going to slap those asses?" "Huh?" He raises his eyebrows. "When are we going to fight?" Assassin asked Issei didn't reply, how could someone talk in a situation like this? He pushed up his glasses, regaining his composure. "I'm Ryuudou Issei and yes I'm your master" Assassin looked satisfied. "Then let's get—"
"Wait, I-I'm not a mage so I can't assist you much" The servant just stared at him. "So what?" Issei signed. This was getting ridiculous. "I won't be much help to you" "oh" Assassin blinked "what are we going to do next?" "The reason you're not disappearing is because the temple's mana supply-" "Isn't it yours?" Assassin interrupted "what do you mean?" "You actually have circuits" The servant concluded the confused Issei
"I'm taking you to the church senpai," Rin said first thing in the morning. "Church What?" Illya raised her head from her ramen. "It's for you to be qualified as a master" "Alright...alright" Illya laid down on the table.
It wasn't a very long walk to the church but when they arrived the sun was almost at its top. "I'll stay outside to watch," Saber said Well, they did arrive in time to see two priests fighting each other.
-about an hour before-
She stepped in the Fuyuki church
"Hello father" Caren Hortensia smiled dangerously sweet at Kotomine Kirei. She pulled out her black eyes. "I'm so sorry god" She raised her head at the sky. "but this is the correct way " Kirei raised his eyebrows, not reacting. She ran forwards straight at her father but the blade didn't reach its destination. The other sets of black keys collided with hers. The boy with the church uniform was seen in front of her father. "Who are you?" Caren asked He didn't reply, instead he said "If you're going to kill him then you'll have to pass me first" his face devoid of emotions. "Huh..so you're father's kid, am I right?" Caren laughed as the two of them ran at each other, she threw the red cloth at him, only for it to dropped on the floor taking no effect. She widened her eyes, this boy was not normal. His golden and dull eyes proved that. She kicked herself from the floor landing behind him, stabbing the black keys into his back but he turned around and she stabbed only air. He was about to kick her but she rolled back and steadied herself. 'Why won't the shroud work on him?' She wondered 'who is this orange-hair boy?' she gripped her weapons tightly, out of breath. They were about to run into each other again but the voice of a girl reached their ears.
"Stop!" Illya screamed Caren clicked her lips, it was going fine until someone decides to interrupt. "Well, it's wrong to fight in a sacred place after all" Kirei chimed in. "Sorry," both of them said. Caren signed and was starting to walk out when Kirei walk to her and said something she shuddered. The thought of that sentence made her mad but she kept her anger and walked away. "So you're going to be registered as a master?" Kirei asked her. Illya nodded "and what was that?" Rin asked "nothing, just some family problems " Kirei brushed it off. "Who is that?" Rin pointed at the boy next to him. "He's my son" She opened her mouth and shut it then- "Wait—What? you never introduced him to me" Illya stared at the boy. Wait.. "it's you!" She screamed "you're the one who tried to kill me that day!" He blinked twice and replied "yeah" 'what's with that expression?' She screamed again internally. Kirei eyed her. Wasn't she supposed to be scared? Rin cleared her throat. "Ahem so I'm here to bring her to register to the holy grail war "
"Oh? Is that so?" Kirei asked "What about you Rin w—" "we're joining forces" Illya interrupted him. The priest closed his eyes and nodded. "Rejoice, my girl you wish will come true." "Is your son a master too?" Rin turned around. "Force him to strip if you must" Kirei said in return. "What the— let's go Senpai" She stomped out of the church. Saber was still waiting in her school uniform. "Sorry saber did it took too long?" "It is definitely a hundred times shorter than waiting to assassinate some tropes." They walked down and make their way to the Emiya household. By the way Illya made an excuse to go to a department store, for more instant ramen, of course. It was Saturday so she doesn't have school. Saber was waiting for her outside when she came out. Rin scowled for letting her wait for a long time. Before long, they were at their home. At least, Illya's.
Saturday and Sunday passed like a blur, Rin came by to discuss a few plans. "Illya! Wake up ``''Uh...Saber let me sleep a few seconds" She felt her futon was dragged and dumped to the floor. "What time is it?" Illya asked "It's 9:00 am!" "Oh…" 'I'm late for school this is so goddamn late I think I missed the first period!' "Saber why didn't you wake me up earlier?" The blonde tilted her head. "I thought you were sleeping peacefully so I don't want to wake you up" She raced into the bathroom and quickly put on her uniform. "Alright Saber let's go." Illya raised her head to adjust her annoyingly long hair, then she noticed something strange. "That..orb of light it's coming from our school!"She pointed Rin looked where she was pointing. "That's not safe..let's go see" Saber nodded in agreement. The three hurriedly rushes across town to the school. "Eh.." Illya stopped for a bit and steadied herself in the sudden emptiness. "It's mana drain! It's still taking effect" Rin came running to her aid. "Why would someone drain mana on Saturday?" Rin said to herself. Illya walked on the first floor and noticing unconscious bodies of the students. "What are they doing here? It's Saturday" Illya shouted, looking back and forth for anyone conscious. "I get it, tomorrow's sports day" Rin said in horror. "So they're here to-" "yes prepare for sports day senpai" Rin cut her mid sentence. "That's right" Rin's pupils widened, noticing the owner of the voice. Illya covered her mouth. "Sakura.."
