Here's an interlude, or filler between chapters, still, I couldn't find a spot for Ilya, Fujimura, and Sakura if there is the action, so I hope that you understand why Merlin had died so early, including him was supposedly a good idea but then I realized that I have a hard time putting Sakura in the action…

"This means a whisper"

Interlude: Crossways

"You want us to what?" Archer quipped at Rin.

"I want the four of you to go undercover as students in our school." She grinned at her annoyed servant. "You'll never know what will happen."

"But wouldn't it be much better for me to dematerialize?"

"No, they would easily know that you're my servant." Rin stuck out her tongue at Archer. She turned to the other three, Saber, Rei and Arcueid. "So how about it?"

"Hmmm…" Saber blushes a little. "I-It would be better i-if I'd be nearer to Shirou." She noticed that they, except Shirou who was turning red, were all looking at her with a you-just-want-to-be-with-him look. "In case such emergency occurred."

"How about you two?"

"We're just fine with that."

"Besides, we have nothing better to do."

"Rin, won't Saber catch attention?" Shirou thinks that it would be a bad idea for them, no; Saber to be 'near' him. Whatever that means.

"So? The four of them will catch attention. Therefore, it would be hard for our enemies to act up amidst many people."

"That's a wise decision, Rin."

"So are you saying you want to be with me too, Archer?" Rin looked at Archer with a gotcha-look.

What's with this woman? "No." He maintained his cool look hoping to hide something else he was feeling. "Why would I?"

"Hmp! Then just stay here then!" Rin packed up her things. "I'll be going on ahead."

"But Rin…"

"I said I'm going on ahead!" Rin hurried past all of them.

"Let's go too, Rei. I want to see that school again."

Again? – Shirou

"Alright, alright, I'm coming and Archer…" Rei turned to the servant. "You better make sure that Rin doesn't get herself into trouble."

At Fujimura's class.

"Alright class, we have two new exchange students from outside the country."

I guess that it's Rei and Arcueid.

"Please welcome Saber-san and Arcueid-san."

Shirou looked up immediately. He noticed that there were two empty seats on opposite sides of him. He felt the glare of almost all the boys in the classroom.

"Look at those two beautiful girls."

"I wish that I had a vacant chair beside me."

"Hi, Shirou."

"Ohayo, Shirou."

This time, Shirou felt himself being melted by all the stares and glares.

"Now, now, class." Fujimura interrupted. "Please leave Saber and Shirou alone. They have been living under the same roof so there should be no difference for them to be seating each other."

Fuji-nee, why did you have to make things worse?

"Ne, Shirou, she doesn't know about us?"

"No, and, let's keep it that way."

I'm pretty sure Rin's having an easier time than I am.

Rin is…but Archer isn't…

"Wow, look at those two cute guys."

"Why did they have to sit next to that grumpy rich girl?"

"Archer, do you like what's happening."

"What gave you that idea?"

"Well, your seat is much, much closer to Rin's than how it should be. Plus, you both look like the clothes you're wearing."

(Eavesdroppers)

"He's right. They look like a couple."

"It's as if someone will get through that girl's personality."

(End of School)

"Shiroooooo!"

"Eh? F-Fuji-nee?"

"I decided to accompany you and Saber on your way home. To make sure you don't do some public display of affection." She whispered to him.

"Shirou, let's wait for Rei, ok?" Arcueid waved to him from afar.

"Shirou? You know her?"

"Ummm…Yes, Fuji-nee. She kinds of lives with us too."

"What! And you're the only guy in that house!"

"No." Saber interrupted. "There are two others, too."

"What! Did you just turn that house into a hotel?"

To make matters worse, many guys were trailing behind Arcueid.

Great, here comes the green army. It can't get any worse than this.

It did.

As Rin introduced Archer themselves to Fujimura. Fujimura looked like she wanted to kill someone.

"What's your relation to Miss Rin, Archer?"

"Well, I'm a—"

"He's my a—" I forgot all about that.

Shirou thought of payback time to both Archer and Rin. "Fuji-nee, he's Rin's fiancé. They look good together don't they?"

"What?" Fujimura looked at the expression on Archer's face. It was blank. "Oh well, it seems like I can trust these two."

He's my fiancé? Rin can't help but blush at the idea.

I'm her fiancé? Great. Now I'm really her servant.

As Arcueid neared Shirou and company, many guys were trying to ask her out. At that same time, it seems that the girls are doing the same thing to Rei as well.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"That's ok." Arcueid smiled at him. "If you'll cook my favorite tonight."

"Alright."

"You know each other?" A student asked them.

"Well, yeah, we live in the same house."

"Same house? Just like Emiya and the other new girl."

"Saber? Oh yeah, we live with them."

"What?!" Many students stood petrified in disappointment.

"So are you siblings?" A guy-who-thinks-he's-cool asked Arcueid.

"Oh yeah. How are we related, Rei?"

Rei just showed the ring on his right ring finger and pulled Arcueid to where they where being waited for. The class stood like statues.

After introducing the others to Fujimura, Shirou got one hell of a sermon. He managed to escape a bit by reminding Fujimura that she now has more competitors for food.

That night, Sakura, Shirou, Rin and Rei prepared a very wonderful meal. Rei and Rin helped with buying extra ingredients.

Later that night.

Rin and Archer

"Why do I have to be your fiancé?"

"Just go with the flow. Besides, I kind of like it."

"What?"

Rin just grinned at him.

Crap… - Archer

Shirou and Saber

"…"

"…"

"What is it, Shirou?"

"Here." He gave her that stuffed lion he bought on their date a few days ago. "I wasn't able to give it to you back then."

"Thank you. I appreciate it."

"Good night, Saber."

"Good night, Shirou."

It wasn't such a bad idea after all – Saber

Rei and Arcueid

"I told you they'll like it."

"Well, I thought that only you appreciate my cooking."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing. I just realized that you appreciate my cooking more than anybody else."

"I appreciate more than your cooking."

Rei smiled. "Good night, Arcueid."

She smiled also. "Good night, Rei."

Don't leave me…ever – Arcueid

I won't leave you…ever – Rei

Well, that's it. I hope you like my interlude. Well, I'll give justice to Ilya next time. She hasn't appeared yet. Please read and rate. Thanks!
