Infinity Stratos Blades
An Infinite Stratos/Fate Stay night fanfic
Author's notes: I apologize for this short chapter but this is setting up for something that will come up at later time, I hope you like this light-hearted chapter.
Chapter 8: Visitation and alliances.
It has been 2 days since his horrible 'unmasking' with Tatenashi, who had put an inordinate amount of her time to both harass/protect and draw up battle plans in the upcoming Grail War.
"So... you are supposed to summon a 'heroic spirit'... but how?" Tatenashi asked.
"Well... I already got the sigil for it, it got engraved to my IS core somehow, and I got the chant to make it work, I can also 'manufacture' a catalyst if I need one, I have many in 'stock'... however what worries me is this" Shirou said showing his command spell.
"What about it?" she asked.
"Well in the Grail War I was in, we only had 3 command spells... use them up and you loose... they are also used to order the servant in case they don't wish to do an action or to empower them further or to transport them... basically they are 3 unrefuseable orders that they MUST obey" Shirou said.
"Can you explain this to me more, what should we expect?" Tatenashi further inquired.
"Well... there are 7 classes of servants, there is the Saber, hailed as the strongest and most balanced of all, the Archer, preternatural warriors who use long range attacks, and the Lancer, warriors who use pole-arms, they are very fast AND very strong... those would be the 3 knight classes and the ones who are the strongest in terms of balance, then it would be the Caster, a magus who can use spells long gone or forgotten magic, more powerful than modern magus, then it would be the Berserker, a maddened warrior, a poor soul who traded their sanity for strength, the Rider a warrior who is slightly weaker but has powerful noble phantasms to use to compensate for that and then it would be the Assassin class, silent killers, the weakest of them all, however they are the ones who defined and then redifined the word assassination..." Shirou said.
"Wait... I don't understand... you said they are heroic spirits, as in heroes... right? So how does an Assassin become one?" Tatenashi asked, feeling confused at this.
"Well heroic spirit is a bit of a misnomer" Shirou said as he copied Tohsaka Rin lecture pose number one. Tracing a small pointer he made a gesture at the air.
"You see they are spirits of heroes who achieved great deeds in life, having become objects of worship after their deaths... even if they did not do good, but their actions CAUSED to have done good by another, and are remembered, they will ascend into a heroic spirit" Shirou said solemnly.
Also... they are those who came back from a further time-line...
Stupid Archer.
"This... sounds rather bad... how can we fight such powerful figures?" Tatenashi asked.
"Well... in here we have an advantage... Heroic Spirits have something called a Noble Phantasm... you remember me talking about it, right?" Shirou asked.
"Yes, but I wanted to ask about that, thank you for bringing it up" Tatenashi said.
"Well, a Noble phantasm would be "crystallized mysteries", powerful armaments made using the imagination of humans as their core, and weapons or abilities owned by Heroic Spirits they are the embodiment of the ultimate mysteries of a hero that symbolizes his existence through historical facts and anecdotes. They can be physical weapons, such as swords, lances, and bows, or support items, such as rings and can also be abstract concepts, like unique abilities, unique means of attack, curses, and changes to the environment and its physical properties... but once they use it, they give away their identity" Shirou said.
"And what good does that... oooh... I see" Tatenashi said with a smirk.
"Yes... once you learn who they are, you can view their history and see the weakness of said Servant, that is, if you can survive for a second confrontation" Shirou said.
"Way to kill the mood" Tatenashi said with a smirk.
"I can't really sugar coat it... I saw a noble Phantasm that could raze the earth" Shirou said as he remembered Excalibur... or even worst a mildly powered Enuma Elish, or Archer's Cadabolg II.
"I see... so your abilities would be a natural counter to Servants... since you can tell from a glance once you see their weapon" Tatenashi said as she stroked her chin.
"Yes... however that is if I KNOW of a weapon that can counter them, if not I have other ways of attacking" Shirou said.
"So... with the IS do we have any chance against them?" she asked.
"I... dunno? I fought alongside and against some, but I did not have an IS back then, is probable if you fight a mid level servant... but those are rare... you can outright take out the Assassin tough... they aren't really front line fighters anyways... but it's more probable that you wont be able to do so... remember they are empowered by how many people 'remember' them, the more 'outstanding' a heroic spirit was the more people would remember them and thus their power would rise, but the power of the magus also plays a role on it" Shirou said.
"That... is rather scary" Tatenashi said.
"So, any questions?" Shirou asked as his prop collapsed back into prana.
"Yes, when will you try to summon your servant?" Tatenashi asked.
"On my next visit to my home in Fuyuki... I want to do it there due to the leylines" Shirou said.
Tatenashi rose an eyebrow 'Don't Understand' written on her now open fan.
"Leylines would be the world's roads of transporting magical energy of the world itself, since I will try to summon one I would rather use that power than my own" Shirou said.
That made sense to Tatenashi.
"Anyways, with this the Grail War committee is now over... we should go back, you go first and after a couple minutes I will do the same, no need to make people speculate on weird things" Shirou said.
"oh? Weird things? I wouldn't mind if it's with you" Tatenashi said as she giggled behind her fan... the word 'Playboy' once more in it.
"T... Tatenashi-san" Shirou pleaded with a pained expression.
"Don't worry... just take care" Tatenashi said as she exited the room.
After 10 minutes later he to exited the room.
The girl grilled him with questions about what had happened 2 nights ago, but Shirou couldn't answer them and thus lied but telling them that it wasn't much... he went out for a midnight jog.
No one could say anything against it since he does work out a lot, and also does some work on maintenance around the school earning him the moniker of 'the ghost janitor'.
Shirou had managed to further enhance the protection on the IS, he was certain that Tabane would undoubtedly try to break his protection, or try to at any rate. He made sure that only one with prana would be able to interact with the runes in a way to undo his protection, Bazett marveled at the computer parts and the electronic interface, but it was just a new way to do something old, she checked Shirou's rune-work and after she viewed at least 3 more times and saw it was satisfactory to her she gave Shirou the OK to it.
With his security anyone who tried to access forcibly his suit via hackign would have their 'rig' blown by the Isa (I) rune and the Algiz (z) working in tandem with Uruz (u) Thurisaz (x) and Hagalaz(h) ... there where plenty more runes (a grand total of 30000 runes that worked with others and complimented the others) and they had a nice cup of coffee.
Rin had drilled onto him to absolutely kill any magus that might come over, as they where philosophers they would no doubt kill anyone to hide themselves, if regular magi where paranoiac, they where in a WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL. Being hunted down by the association for delving into forbidden and dangerous experiments that could threaten the secrecy of magecraft or doing experiments towards immortality and Dead Apostles.
That was unnecessary to say, he had decided that since they had attack him and almost attempted to kill the girls in the academy, he would kill them, mercilessly... coldly.
Ruthlessly.
After all, it wouldn't be the first time he would do something like that.
That was one of the reasons he wanted to summon her back...
To ask forgiveness... and to give her the second chance she deserved.
But those swords in his dream... the ones besides the sword of promised victory... he never hear of those 2.
But he could feel some power from the first one, but not the second one... it felt like Assassin's (fake) blade.
Still he could feel a 'soul' on it.
He felt a sad soul... someone who wanted to fight, but was cut short of joining a great battle.
And the red sword, it had a feeling of 'power' due to 'authority', the sword was made somewhat the same as Kanshou and Bakuya as it was forged from a fallen star's metal, however said metal could be found on earth, but not as dense as it was.
However the 'authority' was not coming from the blade but from the one who wielded it.
He been dreaming of those 3 swords over and over again... a recurring dream.
He was, weary, he did not know WHY those swords keep appearing.
A hill of swords and corpses... alone figure crying in anguish at the senseless death... a blade of a ruler who was betrayed... and a blade of a warrior whose last battle was denied.
3 people, 3 blades... they all had something in common...
Betrayed, unable to accomplish their goal... bitter at their own history and how it ended.
He did not like that... he did not like the regrets the blades conveyed.
He knew of the regrets of the one who wielded The promised sword of victory, but those 2... he couldn't help but wanting to help those 2 souls as well.
Well is not like he could do anything about it... after all it was a single servant for a master, that was how the war was.
Still he was taken back by the command spells, there was no reason he should have so many.
To be honest he kinda looked like Kirei like this, as he had so many command spells on his arm too.
Still so far classes was as per usual, drills and some showing off for the non pilots, there was talk that he was going to be promoted to another class, but it was just rumor and Shirou dispelled the girls worry.
He had to almost pinch himself as to not laugh at how Shinji would react on Shirou's current 'predicament' should he still alive.
Still Shirou was training with the girls and honestly, Houki's Aka Tsubashi speed specs where outside his experience, so her moving around and attacking from many different angles helped Shirou further work on his skills to read the fight, he couldn't move as fast so he had to just control the flow of battle, however, speedy opponents where hard to confront due to their speed.
That did not mean that he wouldn't try and learn, he needed all the training he could get.
With Charlotte, who Shirou begun to affectionately began to call Charls (something to her delight) begun to train on his blocking with different blades and weapons and with Cecilia he worked on his snipping.
Laura helped with her AIC as she try to pin Shirou down, but Shirou managed to get away from the AIC's effective range, but Laura attacked with her knives as well as heavy artillery.
Cecilia contributed to the training as she snipped and used her 'tears' to attack from different angles.
Shirou used all the blades at his disposal to block, deflect and parry attacks while simultaneously attacking.
At the end everyone was very tired and sweaty... and heavily bruised, but they where content, their skills where going up faster than their regular school work would do.
"Uhmm... it seems you are training them too" Tatenashi said as she stepped out of the shadows with a smile.
"Yes, but it would be great if the 'real' Tatenashi was here" Shirou said with a smile.
"oh? You can tell? Is that because of your... special skill?" she said delicately.
"Yes... I can 'feel' the nanomachines in the water, I have to say it seems like a skills those we encountered before can do... but yours is much better." Shirou said.
"You flatterer, anyways... will you allow me to see this summoning ritual, I must admit I am quite curious" Tatenashi's clone asked.
"If the real one comes, sure I have no problem" Shirou said.
"Very well... just let me know when it will happen" she said as she dissolved to water.
Wihtou them knowing, Orimura-sensei was watching them.
"Now.. this is interesting... he managed to capture Tatenashi's attention somehow... and they seem to be getting along fine... rather close too... wonder how that happened, I remember he wanted nothing to do with her getting on his secret, so why are they talking like this... something happened to change Shirou's policy, at least with her... I need to get in closer investigation about this" Orimura thought.
She sighed, this boy was a mystery.
So she continued to look for those answers.
Next day
Shirou was having his nerves tested, he was expecting an attack at any time.
Laura recognized Shirou's posture, it was someone prepared for an attack, however she was unsure why his sudden change.
She went to ask him herself, direct questioning without giving someone a chance to collect itself is the best way.
However Shirou was able to void her... which annoyed her, he was very good at this, as she remembered.
However...
Bets where off when dinner was up.
She smirked as Shirou was cooking, he could feel the smugness of the girl.
He sighed, he had dug himself into this.
He hopped Laura knew how to keep quiet.
After the small feast made by Shirou and all the girls left, Laura stayed behind, she could tell Shirou had given up.
Shirou sat down as he put a cup of tea on for himself and Laura.
"Very well Laura-san ask" Shirou said as he took a sip of the drink.
"Why do you look like you are ready to go to war?" Laura asked.
Shirou rose an eyebrow, but he was surprised... no not really he remembered that Laura was a trained soldier in Germany, not only that but Orimura-sensei had a part on it.
He had to relax a bit more... if those 2 knew about his composure.
Well... he had to be more... 'normal' or give a better appearance of normalcy.
"I am... expecting a conflict... I mean somehow I am always getting involved in fights... I guess.. I can't be blamed for being this tense... no?" Shirou said.
Laura couldn't find fault to this reasoning. With her apologies and wishing him a good night she left.
Shirou made sure the reinforce the door's lock and the window's just in case, he REALLY did not want a repeat of what happened with Laura last time.
And so Shirou went to sleep.
Once more he had a dream of those 3 blades.
He could feel as the blade's called to him... like they needed his help.
Those 2 blades where poor souls who could never accomplish what they wanted... they were filled with regret.
Shirou hated that... that is why he and her did not get along at first... but they she saw the error of her wish.
While she held no regrets Shirou still wanted her to enjoy her (pseudo) life in this new world.
And now he had 2 others that called out to him.
He wanted to help, but he didn't know how to do so.
"irou... SHIROU!" a famle voice yelled as she pulled his ear.
"Dah?!" Shirou yelled in shock as he looked at the offending party.
It was Cecilia who was looking at him crossly.
"It's bad manners to ignore a lady" Cecilia said as she continued to tug at his ear.
"Alright, I am sorry I am sorry!" Shirou said pitifully.
Seriously how is it that a strong warrior can get strong-armed by women so easily?
"Anywho... the IS Academy is doing a festival soon, I hope you remember?" Cecilia asked
Shirou blinked as he remembered the pamphlet he had, he wondered what happened to it.
"Yes... I remember somewhat" Shirou said.
"Well, as class Representative you need to gather ideas for what we will be doing for it" Cecilia said
"Ah... I see" Shirou nodded. He had something like that happen before.
So he went to the board and asked.
"Well ladies, how about you bring some ideas and we will vote on it?" Shirou said
There was a 'bar scene', 'maid cafe', 'butler cafe', Japanese cuisine stand, and a 'host club' which it was immediately shot down by Shirou due to his power to veto an idea, much to the chagrin of the girls.
"I got enough with Tatenashi-san teasing me with that... but having the class making me work as a host? I don't even want to see Rin's reaction... never-mind Sakura's " Shirou thought, that last part made him shiver.
So after talling the votes there was a tie between Maid cafe and Butler cafe, but since there was only one guy they decided to instead fuse both and make it into one.
"Hey there... come with us Shi-tan!" A familiar bubbly voice called as they pulled him away.
"Ah.. Hononone-san?! What's-" Shirou asked as he was being pulled around.
"Well... we need to get your measures ready for your costume!" Hononone said as she continued pulling/dragging.
Shirou felt annoyed at the nuance of this but could not resist.
So he was sent to the make up and costume department club who helped the acting club with their plays by making make-up and costumes.
After taking his measurements (and to be honest he thought for a second one of the girls copped a feel on him) he saw as the girls planned his outfit, he saw a one of the girls made a few sketches and crumbled some, in an on and off again manner and she had 3 different versions to decide between them.
So Shirou was freed from the seamstress and was able to plan what he was going to do.
First off... before summoning a servant he needed to save his sister.
And so he contacted Rin.
It was not going to be a pretty conversation.
Later that day
Shirou sighed as he looked at his IS, honestly he was starting to somewhat hate the thing, as it was the central part of what had happened during his stay.
He sighed once more, no need to postpone the inevitable.
"Call Tohsaka Rin" he commanded his IS.
The stored number begun to ring.
One thing being said, after their little mishap with Zelretchs chest, he urged Rin to purchase a sturdy cellphone and reinforce it and after making her read the manual and adding his number, Sakura's and the home number of his, she had gotten better at using some technology.
"SHIIIROU... YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER IDIOT!" Rin's voice pierced from the speaker... it was so loud that the cellphone was floating due to the powerful voice, Shirou had to plug one ear with his finger while handling the cellphone as far as humanly possible.
"Ah... Rin... that is" Shirou begun to say pleadingly.
"SHUT IT! SIT ON SEIZA... NOOW!" Rin shouted.
Shirou immediately obeyed out of reflex.
"I swear I will find a way to cast my Gandr trough the cellphone waves just to punish you... now... will you explain how that lady found out of magic? I heard from her, but... I rather hear it from you" Rin said.
"A...Rin... Are... are you angry?" Shirou asked.
"Ohohoh Now... Why would you say that, does my voice sound like I am?" Rin asked.
It was a rhetorical question, but it had no good answer, either way he was gonna get an earful.
Shirou could swear there was a throbbing vein on the phone.
"Rin... we don't have time for that... do you think... we can do that for Ilya?" Shirou asked as a way to make her talk about something else and forget about that incident.
"A... Uhmmm... yes, but as you know when it is at it's peak it would take some waiting..." Rin said.
"Let's do it by tonight... I want to get this out of the way... besides of those people found out I managed to do that I would be hunted even worst" Shirou said.
"Uhmm... yes, that is troublesome... I understand... I will make the preparations... also I will set my clocks again JUST to be sure" Rin said.
"Ah... don't' bother, I will be the one to get you, just make sure you got all necessary items for it to work" Shirou said.
"I see... what about your new friend? Will she be with us?" Rin asked, her voice had a tinge of annoyance maybe?
"I was thinking of bringing her too... is only fair since she is in the know-how" Shirou said.
"Ahhh... what a pain... I don't know why you gonna bring a complete stranger into this... but whatever... is your sister" Rin said.
"Also... I am thinking of doing the Ritual the next day... since it's a Saturday it would be a good idea" Shirou said.
"I would recommend to wait a bit more, according to my readings the Fuyuki leylines are a bit unstable... since we are not using them for Ilya's" Rin said.
"I see... very well I will be going in a few" Shirou said.
"I'll see ya soon idiot" Rin said.
He hung up.
"So... all I need to do is find Tatenashi now" Shirou said.
Shirou sighed, it was going to be hard to do.
Shirou walked out and found Shinonono walking about, she was wearing a fox kigurumi as usual.
"Ah... Shii-kun... what are you doing up so late?" Hononone asked.
"Ah... yes, I needed to ask something to Tatenashi-san, do you know where she is?" Shirou asked.
"Uhmmm I know where her sister is... but if you are looking for her, try around the 3 floor rooms" Shinonono said.
"She has a sister? I didn't know that" Shirou said.
"Uhmmm she was to be the Japanese representative... but you came about and got yourself into that position" Hononone-san said.
Shirou flinched... he was not aware that his being here would have caused someone that kind of slight, however unintentional it may be.
"Don't worry about it... just go and find Tatenashi-tan, it looks like what you gonna talk to her about is something miiiighty serious" she said with a playful smile.
"Yeah, you could say that... well... I am off, thanks" Shirou said as he rushed out.
It took him a while to find her... he was using structural analysis to 'see' where her nanomachines where.
Once he located her he made a nudge with his head.
She opened her room's door.
"Come on in Emiya-kun" She said with a playful smirk.
"Tatenashi-san, would you come to a small ritual going on at home?" Shirou said.
"Will you call upon them already?" Tatenashi worded her question carefully.
"No... this is another one... this one is to save my sister" Shirou said.
"I see... but why are you inviting me then?" she asked.
"Because you are in the know-how and I want you to be present for it?" Shirou said.
"Well if you think is ok... I would like to see something like that being done... without being harmful to my person" Tatenashi said.
And so they left at around 7 PM
"Say... where are we going to stay after this?" Tatenashi asked.
"Well... I do have a place where we can stay afterward" Shirou said.
And so they made their way to Fuyuki on the last train.
They arrived at 9 PM at Fuyuki station.
They walked the streets till 10 PM and they arrived to Emiya's state.
Tatenashi was surprised at this "Wow... I never thought your home would be so large" she said as he fan, now open, said 'shock'.
"Come on... Rin should be waiting for us, as well as my sister" Shirou said.
"Ah yes... I heard about that, she looks like your classmate Laura Bodewig, doesn't she?" Tatenashi said.
"Ah... yes they do look very similar" Shirou said with a weak chuckle.
They entered the state.
"I am home" he said as he looked at his state... Shirou looked kinda sad... melancholic even.
Tatenashi was quite, she had a feeling something was watching and judging her for a second... and then it went away.
"Wh... what was that? That was rather... spooky" Tatenashi said as shivers run trough her back.
"Ah... that must be the bounded field on the house, it scans people for evil intentions and alerts the people inside" Shirou said.
Tatenashi did not feel anyone staring at her anymore, and they way the 'bounded field' looked at her made her feel naked.
"I must say, that is one innovative home security" Tatenashi said.
"Yes, but its useless for defense purposes, Rin's home bounded field is much better, it makes people leave the area by a compulsion, but if they continue... well... they never come out" Shirou said.
Tatenashi felt honest fear... a slight shiver run trough her back.
"Really Shirou-kun, is it a good idea to talk horror stories about my own home?" Rin said as she came in trought the front door.
"Oh, Hello Rin-san" Shirou greeted her.
"Hello idiot, hello Tatenashi-san" Rin said as she waved her hand as she took off her shoes to put on the house slippers.
"Hello Rin-san, I am sorry to impose, but Shirou-kun invited me along" Tatenashi said.
"Yes, I was told about it... anyways go and get Ilya... I will make the circle and prep the ritual... you bring the items you made" Rin said.
Shirou nodded as he walked trough the halls and went to a single room he recognised.
Ilya was using his own room.
Shirou went in "Ilya? Are you awake?" Shirou asked.
"Ah... Onii-chan... hello" she said weakly.
Shirou went over and carried her.
"Ah... I can't feel... anything" she said.
Ilya had disconnected her nerves as to not feel the pain she was feeling a few days ago, it was a pain that was maddening. She was going the same way her mother had.
"Don't worry... I came up with a way to save you" Shirou said with a smile on his face.
For a second, Ilya could swear he could see her father's face superimpose itself on Shirou's.
She smiled "You and I both know neither you or Rin are able to come up with that much power on you own, Sakura could... but then another Dark Sakura would happen, and Zelretchs sword is out of the question as well" Ilya said.
"Don't worry... I already thought about that... I said I would save you, and I will... I want you to live a long healthy life as my sister after all... is the least I could do for Kiritusgu's sake" Shirou said.
Ilya smiled weakly... "Ok... onii-chan" she said.
They went out to the shed that was used by Shirou as his place to practice magecraft in... and the place he summoned her.
Unknown to them it was also the place Irisviel had rested to disconnect her own nerves as well.
They put Ilya on the ground the circle had been remade, Rin had learned about the ritual they would do beforehand... and modified the sigil on the ground to help conduct the power of the cores Shirou had traced.
Rin nodded as Shirou made IS cores appear using the IS subspace as a place to safe-guard them.
"Are those..." Tatenashi tensed as she saw what should be impossible.
"Don't worry, they are not real ones, they work as well as the real ones but they will be spend on this ritual, and no... before you ask Shirou-kun did not steal them, he made them himself" Rin said.
Tatenashi was still tense, if Shirou could recreate the IS cores... he would be even MORE hunted than Tabene Shinonono.
"How many you made?" Rin asked.
"Uhmm... I think I made about 130 or so?" Shirou said
"I see, you are also using numerology on this... not bad, the number will further enhance the power of the cores that are gonna be used" Rin said nodding "Not bad for a hopeless failure of a magi... well, since you had me as a teacher is obvious you would get this good" she said with pride, whether pride for her apprentice or herself it was hard to tell.
Rin grabbed the cores and they melted and turned liquid.
The liquid begun to course the trenches of the sigil and begun to turn a aqua-marine green.
"Kraft der Edelsteine, fließen wie Wasser, das Feuer des Lebens zu bringen , bringen Sie den Wind der Seele und das Wasser aus dem Blut.
Mit der Lehre der Vorfahren , die der große Meister Schweinorg ist ... bringen Sie diese Puppe, dieser Anschein von Leben zum wahren Leben ... kommen Geister , die den Körper Reparatur dieses gebrochenen Körper bewohnen, und beginnen von neuem zu leben"
After finishing the chant the sigil glowed fiercely, a localized small hurricane appeared and enveloped Ilya.
Ilya gasped, her nerves reconnected, her body structure begun to change... the body of 'Ilya the homunculus of the EInsbern' was gone, now it was 'Ilya the freed homunculus' came to be.
However something else had happened.
As soon as the wind cleared up there was another darker skinned Ilya.
"EEEEH!?" Shirou and Rin shouted in shock.
Tatenashi was laughing at this, her fan had 'amusement' written on it.
Ilya one and Ilya two looked at each other and pulled each other cheeks.
"Not a dream" Ilya one said
"nop... not a dream" Ilya two said.
"SHIROU! WHAT HAPPENED!?" Ilya one said.
"I... I don't know" Shirou said.
Rin was honestly confused "Well... I did say this was outside of my expertise" she said as she laughed and rubbed the back of her head nervously.
"IDIOT RIN!" Ilya one said as she jumped and bit her head, a bussing sound of a chainsaw.
"M... MY HEAD! MY HEAD!" Rin yelled as she ran to get her off her.
"Oh my... I gather this happens a lot?" Tatenashi asked.
Shirou had the decency to look ashamed.
"Hey there big bro" Ilya two said with a playful smirk.
"I... I really don't know how to react to this" Shirou said.
"And you think I do? You know how this happened?" Ilya two asked.
Well at least it was easy to see the differences, one had pink-ish hair and tanned skin the other one...
Well Ilya looked like an albino child.
"Uhmm... this is gonna make things more complicated than I thought" Shirou said.
"Well... why not just call me Kuro... it's easier that way since I have a dark tanned skin" the newly named girl said with an impish smile.
Tatenashi was certainly having fun at his troubles.
"So... might I have something to eat? I am kinda hungry" she said as her stomach grumbled.
Shirou sighed... another mouth to feed uh?
"DAMN IT! I AM BLEEDING! STOP THAT!" Rin continued to yell as she ran around the house as Ilya was biting on.
"Don't worry, I don't do that... I think" Kuro said.
"Well... since this is done... how about the other ritual... when will you do it?" Tatenashi asked.
"oh? Another ritual? What is it about?" Kuro asked.
"Summoning a heroic spirit" Shirou said.
"Oh... that is interesting..." Kuro said.
There was something in the way she said so that made Shirou analyze the girl.
She was completely made of prana.
"Ohhh... Onii-chan, you shouldn't look at you little sister with those kind of eyes" she said coyly and put her hands as if covering her crotch and her (non-existent) breasts with a slight blush.
Tatenashi hide her face behind her fan 'Playboy' written on it.
Shirou sighed as he let his head hung down...
He just never get a break couldn't he?
And so Tatenashi spend the night at Emiya's home.
Chapter end
