Crazy trouble with love part 4
Medea and Shirou-kun
Series: Fate Stay
xxxxxxxxxxxx
It was a dark night in the Emiya residence, Taiga was sleeping on the couch and the boy named Shirou was busy trying to get to sleep but failed miserably.
GROWL!
And all because of an empty stomach.
'Why can't Taiga-nee try and leave me some food?' He thought before getting up and headed to the kitchen to make a sandwich. He dug through the kitchen for ingredients and set them down while grabbing some bread. He then grabbed a knife and started to put the ingredients into the bead before cutting it in half, which had his finger in the middle of it. "OW!"
The chunks of blood and flesh landed on the sandwich and then the ground as Shirou held his finger in pain.
"Damn it." he held it with a hiss. "I need a bandage."
He then ran into the bathroom as he didn't notice a red magic seal appearing on the ground.
(With Shirou)
"Much better." He said while putting a bandage on his finger. 'That's the last time I try to get food in the middle of the night.'
He then noticed that something was burning and realized it was from the kitchen. 'Oh no, Taiga-nee's trying to cook!' He ran out of the bathroom at a fast neck pace before entering the kitchen, only it wasn't Taiga.
It was a woman wearing a hooded bluish-purple robe that reached to her legs, some light black shoes, with black gloves, various necklaces and headpieces of unknown design on her head and neck, a black ribbon on her neck, light blue hair that was nearly obscured by the hood along with her face. And she was trying to figure out how to use the stove aka using a frying pan and some rice!
"Oh no! How do I work this blasted thing!" She said while panicking. 'What kind of god construct is this?!'
Shirou blinked while finding the scene kinda funny.
"By Hecate and all the gods of Colchis! What am I supposed to do?!" She panicked before trying to use something odd. "Vερό!" (Water!)
The pan started to get wetter and wetter before it started to fill the pan and douse the flames.
Shirou's eyes widened in shock while smacking himself to try and wake up from this dream.
But that got the attention of the woman who turned to him. "Who are you? My master or a curious boy?"
"Oh! Uh...what?"
"Are you a curious boy or my master?" She said while putting the pan down and took out a dagger with a zigzag multicolored blade with strange writing on the hilt and blade.
Shirou panicked and held his hands up. "E-Easy now, my name's Shirou Emiya, if you're here for money, it's in my room."
"I am not interested in money, for I can with the right ingredients create anything I desire." She chuckled. "So I'll ask one more time, are you my master?"
He gulped seeing the dagger before hearing something loud from outside, something primal.
She turned her head and frowned. "It seems another servant is not that far away."
"What are you talking about?!"
She thrusted the dagger into the floor as a large circle of magic started to spread as it started to form a barrier around the house before it went invisible to the naked eye. "Barrier and anti-sorcery Bounded Field are established."
"W-What's going on!?"
"I'm protecting you from that servants advancements." She said. "I could have made a better one but I need the proper time and ingredients for such a thing."
"I mean who are you?! What's this about servants and masters? And what does ingredients have anything to do with what you just did?"
She turned to him before saying. "In reverse order, to allow my craft skills to work properly, a servant is a hero, anti-hero or villain that lived in the past or future that serves a master, a mage with magic even if they have weak magic, and as for my name, I am Caster or Medea, daughter of king Aëëtes of Colchis, and a magic user from the age of the gods."
Shirou looked at her with wide eyes while blinking slowly.
"Let me guess, you recall my story." She frowned.
"Well um….I know you help the Argonauts with the Golden Fleece, and killed Jason's uncle and….his son before nearly killing Theseus later in life."
She growled. "Never mention that bastard in my presence!" 'Damn you Jason! Damn you to tartarus!'
He reeled back and nodded in fear. "Yes ma'am."
"Good. But one question." She pointed to the stove. "What is that construct?"
"You mean the stove?"
"A stove? Like the one smith's use?"
"Kind of but it's for cooking. Wait why did you try to use it?"
"I was summoned and since no one was here I thought I would get some food. But I guess the white grapes didn't work that well."
"Uh, that's rice." he sweatdropped.
"Never heard of it." She shrugged before taking off her hood to reveal a set of purple eyes, long blue hair and knife shaped ears that made her look almost like an elf. "Is there anything I can do for you master? Prepare a charm or hex?"
He gulped and shook his head. "Um, I'm still confused. How did you get here? I mean, if you're from the past, shouldn't you be….dead?"
"I was but," she walked towards a chair and sat down. "It's a long story that I'm happy to tell you. But only for one simple thing?"
"What?"
Her eyes narrowed. "Betray me or do me wrong and I'll make sure you never have a proper burial."
He paled and quickly nodded in fear.
Her face softened and started to explain everything.
(Next morning)
"And that is everything I know about the Holy Grail War. Any questions?"
"But I don't get something. How were you summoned? I mean you said blood and an old item of a servant was needed, but I didn't put my blood on anything except for….the knife!"
She blinked at that before Shirou looked at the knife, which looked brand new, but had a coppery interior under the oxidized outer shell.
"It kinda looks like your own knife."
"Odd, Rule Breaker is from the age of the gods as a ritual knife. I never heard of one with a similar structure except anything from my homeland or from Olympus." she then took a closer look at it. "Huh, it seems like it's from….Ioclos."
"So it's because of this you were summoned?"
She nodded. "And it seems you're not truly a mage, but with my charms and magic I can help you master."
"But what if I don't wanna participate?"
"It's impossible. They will come for you regardless if you choose to fight or fly from battle. And if you don't fight then the grail shall be taken by another and who knows what he or she will wish for."
He sighed. "But I'm not a fighter, I don't wanna hurt people."
"Even a fighter will hurt people." She sighed. "Even in my case, I allowed for others to be killed for the sake of my fate. You can't change that but you can defy it if you have the will to do so."
"Thanks but even if you had such a fate as in your past, then why are you defying it?"
"..." she looked away. "It's something that you couldn't understand master." 'Or comprehend.'
"Oh, sorry."
"It's fine." She said while putting her hood up halfway.
"Maybe you should keep that off? I mean it's ok to not wear it all the time."
"I'm sorry master, but I choose to wear this."
Shirou sighed. "Alright, but if you change your mind just tell me." He then said something that surprised her. "I just want to be a good friend if you let me."
"Friend?"
"Well….it's up to you." He lightly blushed. "I don't mind even if you scare the little daylights out of me."
"That was because I was being cautious."
'Still.' He thought with a sweatdrop. 'She's kind of scary.' "That's fine, and I'll try not to say anything that might annoy you."
She nodded before getting up. "Master, do you have a spring around here? I'm in need of a wash."
"Well the bathroom is just down the hall."
She blinked at that before walking away. 'What an odd boy this Shirou.'
(Five days later)
Medea walked down the hallway while wearing a black top with a jean jacket and long tan skirt that showed off her chest and ass. The reason? Because unless someone was attacking she would try wearing something of the modern times, though she can just use her robes in combat at anytime.
'I think I'm getting use to these kind of clothes.' She thought before seeing Teiga sleeping on the floor. 'Not this again.' she then spoke a spell. "Αστραπή!" (Lightning!)
Zap!
A small dose of lightning hit Taiga and caused her to jolt up in shock.
"Yeow!"
"Welcome back from the realm of sleep." Medea said. "Mind telling my why you fell asleep on the floor again?"
"I was tired." she frowned while glaring at her. "What's the big idea of waking me up like that!"
She ignored her. "Where is master? I haven't seen him all day and I assume he's not at school."
"He's at the store. Something about getting some food or something like that."
She blinked at that while getting a feeling of dread coming from her spine. 'Oh no, he could be in danger!' "Where is this place he went to?"
"The shopping district. It's just down the road. Why do you ask?"
Medea however was already gone.
"She's fast, and a pain in the butt."
(With Shirou)
"One slice of beef, one cartridge of eggs, and some rice." He looked at his list while holding a bag in one hand. "All I need now is the cookies for Medea."
What he didn't notice was the woman hiding behind a building. She smirked seeing him while a large figure stood behind her.
"Onii-chan. You'll be mine."
However what she didn't count on was a woman with a long cloak walking behind him before putting a hex charm on the man's hair.
'Enjoy your unlucky day you two.' Medea thought as the charm activated.
"Ra?" The man said before a car crashed into them and sent them flying down a few streets.
"WAAAAAH!" She cried before they crashed into a bathroom, the male side to be exactly.
Medea smirked while following Shirou.
"Let's see." He muttered while Medea moved a little closer to him. "Maybe some cookies with sugar? No no, um maybe a regular chocolate chip cookie? Mmm….it's hard to understand a person with a woman that cute." He blushed. "Good thing she's not here or I'll be slapped."
Medea blushed and stopped while Shirou kept walking. 'He thinks I'm cute?' She shook her head. 'Don't fall for it. He's just saying that to get on your good side.' she walked towards him.
"Chocolate chip cookies it is." He said to himself before muttering. "But why do her ears remind me of a elf?"
'An elf? What does that mean?' She thought before noticing that Shirou was entering a bakery. She ducked around the corner while watching him walk in. 'Just why is he getting me cookies?'
After a while of waiting she saw Shirou holding a large box of cookies as he turned a corner.
"I hope she likes her welcome to the family gift."
'Welcome to the family? Is he serious?' She thought while a little touched. 'But I best keep him safe. For his sake.'
(Back home)
Medea carefully walked back into the room as Shirou entered the front door.
"Taiga-nee! Medea! I'm back!"
"Hey, I smell chocolate." spoke Taiga walking out.
"It's for Medea." He sweatdropped as Medea walked next to him. "So don't eat it."
"Aw!" she pouted while Shirou finally noticed the servant.
"Hello master." She said with a smile.
"Oh, hey Medea." he held the box to her. "I got you something."
She smiled while taking the box. "You shouldn't have. And here I am without a gift for you master." She then placed the box down and took out a charm oozing with blue energy. "This is a charm that will keep you safe from colds and other ailments."
"Thanks Medea."
She smiled. "You're welcome master."
"Medea." He said with a smile. "You're a great friend."
Bumbum!
Her eyes widened while feeling her heart skip a beat. 'He called me...a friend. A friend….me? A witch….his friend…?' she felt so happy at the moment she didn't notice that Shirou already left with Taiga being the only one in the room. 'He's...too kind….'
"Cookies." Taiga smiled while grabbing it.
"Αστραπή!"
ZAP!
"AH! Hey!"
"Don't take master's gift." She frowned before taking the box and walked away. 'Master...you are better then him. In every way.'
(One month later)
"Shirou-kun." Taiga said while eating her food. "Haven't you noticed?"
"Noticed what?"
"That your friend is acting odd." She whispered. "I mean I've seen her making strange bottles and putting the contents in the food. Not only that but I think she's adding blood to the food."
"Taiga-nee, that sounds a little farfetched."
"But it's true!" She frowned before Medea walked in.
"The baths ready master. Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"No Medea, that'll be fine."
"Yes master." She bowed before sitting next to Taiga as Shirou went to take a shower. "I heard what you said about me."
She raised an eyebrow. "And?"
"You are half right. I have used potions in the food, but not blood."
She sighed.
"I use blood in his tea."
She paled and stood up while pointing at Medea. "I knew something was up!"
"And?" She said while looking unamused.
"Putting your blood in someone's tea is just….gross!" she grimaced.
"And? It's a form of appreciation in this book." She said pulling out a hentai manga. "It's a very interesting read."
Taiga sweatdropped while keeping her disgusted face. "That's not the point! It's just weird and I'm pretty sure that could lead to Shirou getting sick, I think."
She went wide eyed. "But the book, it said it would make him happy."
"It won't so stop."
Medea frowned before looking depressed. 'Curse this book.' She was so busy being depressed that she didn't see Shirou walking behind her.
"Medea? You alright?"
"I'm fine Taiga, I'm just fine." 'Not.'
"I'm right here." Said girl frowned getting the servants attention.
She blinked before jumping. "Oh sorry master I didn't mean to mistake your voice!"
"It's fine." He said. "And the showers open for you."
She blushed before getting up and headed to the showers.
(In the shower)
She sighed taking her clothes off while letting the water rinse her body. 'Master, you really are something.' She thought while remembering her past and everything that went wrong in her life. 'Jason, you bastard. You stupid bastard.'
Tears went down her face as she remembered how she was betrayed by him for another woman.
'You….' she sniffled while rubbing her eyes. "You bastard…"
"Medea?" Shirou called out. "Is the shower free?"
But she was too busy crying to hear, and neglected to lock the door before she got the water on too. 'I've done nothing but serve you and you...did this…'
"Medea?" He said while opening the door. "Are you….."
Her eyes opened and saw Shirou naked before jumping up. "AHHHH!"
"AHHH!"
"Διαστρεβλώ!" (Pervert!) she screamed while covering herself up. "Διαστρεβλώ! Διαστρεβλώ!"
"Sorry! Sorry!" he cried covering his eyes and looking away.
Medea started to calm down before ducking into the bathtub. "S-Shirou? D-Didn't I lock the door?"
"No." he blushed. 'Oh god now I'm a pervert!'
'Oh no, I goofed.' She blushed. 'I just hope he doesn't try anything.'
"I-I'll leave now." He blushed while walking away. Only to slip on some soap and fall into the tub. "Blah!"
"Eep! Master are you ok?" She asked while seeing him land on her back. 'Ow!'
"Ah, yeah." he sat up and saw where he landed and blushed. "Uh, are you alright?"
"I am." She said looking away. "Nothing I'm not used to." She then looked at him. "I'm sorry master."
"You shouldn't say sorry, I'm the one who walked in too soon."
"But I was the one who didn't hear you." She said.
"Um why? I mean I heard something but I thought it was water."
"...it's just me remembering my past."
Shirou blinked before getting the message. "Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's fine. After all I'm not affected by that anymore." She said while a few tears fell down her face. "Especially Jason and his little adventures with me...and that stuff…"
"Then why are you crying?" He said while wiping away the tears from her face. "Sounds to me like you're still hurting, even just a little."
She blinked at that while NOT realizing she was crying. "Master…"
"Look, I won't press you to tell me, but just remember, I'm not talking to you like a master, but as your friend, meaning if you ever need to talk, let me know."
'...' "Master….I mean Shirou. T-Thank you."
"Anytime." He smiled while not knowing that he unintentionally made Medea's heart beat faster then the god of speed. "Um maybe I should leave?"
"Oh um….I don't mind if your stay here." she admitted with a bright blush.
"Really?" He asked while feeling red in the face.
The answer was her wrapping her arms around him and letting him rest on her chest.
"Really."
Shirou blushed red before feeling a little relaxed.
"Just relax and let the water soothe you to sleep Shirou." she whispered while trailing a hand across his chest.
He tried to not fall asleep but given the atmosphere and the soft skin on his back he started to close his heavy eyes. 'This is so...nice…'
"Sleep and I'll make you dream of happier times." She whispered while watching her master slowly sleeping on her. 'Αγαπημένη, πολύτιμη αγαπημένη μου.' (Beloved, my precious beloved.)
(Outside)
Taiga walked by while eating a rice ball as she saw the bathroom door and opened it. "Huh? Shirou? Are you done…." she stopped and went wide open with the rice ball falling out at seeing the two in the tub.
Medea turned to her and whispered. "Πυροσβεστική." (Fireball.)
A small fireball shot out of nowhere and touched Taiga's ass.
"AHH! HOT!" She screamed while running out of the room as Medea chuckled and rubbed Shirou's head.
'Shirou, you are special to me now.' "My αγαπητός."
Shirou smiled in his sleep as the screen when black.
