This is the next chapter… I think it may suck but I just want to update so badly… hehehe… I still can't find a place fore Ilya and Fujimura in my story…
Chapter II: Greed
"Itadakimasu!" Everyone said in unison as they began dinner.
"I can't believe you have this many food in storage, Emiya-kun. Perhaps you weren't planning on using your Reiju to destroy the Grail." She glared at Saber and Shirou. Saber shot a mixed look of anger and somewhat anxiety.
"Well, to be honest, I really wanted Saber to stay but…" Shirou put his bowl down. "…I'm not going to—"
"Shirou…" Saber looked down on her own bowl of rice after looking at Shirou.
"Oh, Sakura…" Rin changed the topic quickly. "How are you getting used to being a master?"
"Sakura didn't answer and looked down for a moment. Then she smiled at Rin. "I'll get used to it, Senpai."
I'll protect you Sakura…no matter what happens. Rin only smiled back.
After dinner, the table had been cleared of all the dining utensils, Rin called out a meeting. "Listen up, everyone. Since we're all going to be allies after all, I suggest we all stay here in Emiya-kun's mansion."
"Toh-Tohsaka! Even though it's a 'mansion', it can't accommodate eight people."
"Then we'll share our room with our servants." Rin shot a grin at Archer.
I knew it. – Archer.
I knew it. – Shirou.
Saber could feel her face going red. "I'm going to bed early then." She left the table before anyone could see her face turning red.
Crap…this is bad. Rei was getting uneasy.
"Anything wrong, Rei?"
"You know what I mean, Arcueid." Rei whispered. "You know what happened last time."
"Don't worry." Arcueid flashed him her usual smile and held his hand. "We won't repeat history."
"Arcueid." Rin called out. She had been itching to know why she had a strange feeling with this servant. She was strange, even for an eirei. "Are you really a servant? I sense something different about you."
Arcueid just smiled. Rei emitted an almost inaudible giggle.
Rin shot a glare at them. "Is there anything funny?"
"I guess you sensed the unusuality as well." Archer smirked.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Rin giggled again. "I thought we'd get away with it. You're right; she's not a normal servant. Aside from being the eighth class of servants, she's not even an eirei. She's not a spirit nor hero from the past…or future." He shot a glance at Archer. "Arcueid is fully alive, more or less."
"She's immortal?"
"Rin, obviously she's not human."
"I'm a vampire." Arcueid smiled.
I just love that smile of hers. Rei can't take his eyes of her.
"…but I'm not your typical will-die-in-the-sun vampire."
"She's a weird one." Rei teased her. "I once thought she weren't a vampire."
"Just like your dad?"
"Don't remind me."
"Gomen."
Rin put down her cup with a thud. "We've got company. Obviously a foolish servant."
"Or a greedy one." Archer said coolly.
"Careful." Rei mimicked Archer's expression. "He's a very dirty trickster."
"Well, don't you like exaggerating things." Archer wasn't about to back down.
"Actually, it's not a bit close."
Rin could've sworn she saw a huge spark where they made "glare" contact. Moments later, Saber came back. She felt the presence of the servant as well.
"Emiya-kun." Rin felt like teasing him. "You could learn something from Rei. At least he seems to have a better chance annoying Archer more than you."
Merlin stood up. "I would be saying farewell now."
"Merlin?" Saber was obviously shocked to hear her friend say those words. The only time she heard them back then was when…
"I see my death in a few moments, Arthur. You know that fate is inevitable."
As soon as he finished saying those words, a silver harpoon pierced his chest. He vanished almost instantaneously. Sakura was dumfounded at the suddenness of Merlin's death.
"Hmmm… One down, three to go."
They saw the servant standing outside holding the chains that connect it to the harpoon a moment ago. He was obviously a cold-hearted murderer. "Who's next?"
Saber and Archer immediately charged at him. In their attempt to strike him, they were only thrown back by chains springing up underneath them.
"You two can be for dessert. You…" He pointed the harpoon at Arcueid. "You're the main course!"
He launched the projectile at Arcueid. Before it reached her, Rei blocked it with a fork. The harpoon shattered into exactly seventeen pieces.
"What? It broke so easily? Impossible!"
"I guess I learned something from my father." Rei's eyes turned from blue into silver. His pupils were almost invisible. "Look for an opening, Arcueid. I'll set him up for you."
Arcueid's eyes turned from red into yellow and looked more as that of a cat. Her fangs began to show. "You three stay back." She said to Rin, Shirou and Sakura. Rin was comforting Sakura, who was still in shock.
"Sleight-of-Hand, Reverse Impulse!" in a blink of an eye, Rei was immediately behind Assassin. He aimed a dagger at Assassin's torso but was blocked by a wall of chains.
"You're fast boy! But I'm faster."
"But I'm smarter…"
"What?—"
Ex…calibur!"
Rei escaped just in time as Assassin was swallowed by the golden beam of light. Assassin managed to block but barely.
"Saber! You could've hit him!"
"I could've, Shirou. But I know that I won't."
"Your girlfriend's right, Shirou-san." Rei appeared behind Saber. He was obviously unscathed. "You shouldn't worry too much."
"Rei…"
"Enough talking or die!" Assassin charged at them out of nowhere.
"…So as I pray…" Archer appeared between Assassin and Shirou and Rei. "…Unlimited Bladeworks!"
"A Reality Marble?"
"You chose the wrong servants to mess with, Assassin."
"On the contrary." Assassin grinned. "I chose perfectly, Maelstrom!"
A huge pirate ship rose from the ground.
"Ex…calibur!"
After a blinding explosion, Saber and Archer were both on their knees.
"Damn it! I still haven't recovered from that fight with Hercules."
"Gilgamesh had also given me a fierce battle."
"I told you, servants are no match for me."
"Tera Cross!" Rei shot a huge shining cross at Assassin. "You may be right. But I'm not a servant."
"Do you think you can kill me with this weak attack?"
"No, just immobilize you." Rei grinned.
Assassin couldn't move his body nor command the Maelstrom. He laughed maliciously. "Hahaha! Now what? I'll be able to move sooner or later. Is that all you can do."
"Heh…"Rei mimicked Archer's sarcastic look. "That's all I needed to do…Arcueid?"
Arcueid appeared in the midst of the battlefield. "Korashite Hageru…Blud die Schwester!"
A huge meteor of pure magic appeared overhead and landed on Assassin and the Maelstrom. After a deafening explosion, there was a huge crater and a slowly fading Assassin.
"S-Such power…"
That night, the masters went to their own rooms along with their servants and rested. Sakura stayed with Rin. For Rin, Sakura's safety was a big issue.
Later on, Rin decided to peek at their two new allies. After hiding her presence, she peeked at their room. The two had lied down but were wide awake.
"You shouldn't provide me with too much magic."
"Doshite? You used 'Blud die Schwester' perfectly a while ago."
"That's not what I'm worried about."
"Don't worry." Rei kissed Arcueid on the forehead. "I won't die that easily."
"Well, you did promise to be with me…forever."
"I know." Rei smiled. "So don't you dare die on me too."
Rei looked at where Rin was peeking. For a moment she thought he had looked at her in the eye. "I won't let anyone else die on me."
Rin said nothing as she went back to her room to sleep.
He's powerful. They both are.
Well, that's all for now… they might seem a little out of their personality, also it would help you understand my OC better if you take a look at his past with Arcueid in the Tsukihime section…I'm sorry if you think this chapter sucks, I just want to update for Christmas… merry Christmas to all… please read and rate… thank you,…
