Archer and Rin finally arrived at the bank and went straight to the window to give the check to the bank teller. They waited for few minutes before they got the money. When they were about to leave the bank, five armed men who were wearing black masks came in and used their fire arms to shoot up in the sky. All the people in the bank kneeled on the floor as they covered their ears except for Archer and Rin, who were still standing and was walking out of the place.

"Hey, you two!" the leader shouted to Archer and Rin, "Put your hands behind your heads!"

But the two did not listen and continued walking. The leader got so mad at them that he pointed his gun to Rin's head.

"Put your hands behind your back, young lady, or I will shoot you!" the man shouted.

Archer looked at the leader, his eyes full of fury as he calmly spoke, "When I was Rin's servant during the fifth Holy Grail War, I did not allow Lancer or Berserker to lay a single finger on her as long as long as I was by her side. And right now you are pointing a gun at her in front of me. You know, that's kind of insulting."

"Eh?" was the leader's reaction, unable to understand what Archer was saying, "Holy Grail War?"

"I don't have to explain it to a fool like you," Archer said as he grabbed the gun and broke it to pieces with his bare hands.

The other thieves pointed their guns at Archer, but before they could pull the trigger Archer was already beating them all because of his speed and incredible strength. All the people in the bank admired him, and one guy was able to record the whole thing on video. All the thieves were now lying on the ground as Archer destroyed all their fire arms before they left the bank.

"We are now here at Fuyuki City's biggest bank where a robbery almost happened. Here is Mr. Hatsuharu, who witness the whole scene. So, Mr. Hatsuharu, can you tell us what happened?"

The old man with reading glasses cleared his throat before he spoke, "Those thieves came here to rob the bank, but there was a brave man who fought them all using his bare hands."

"So how did he beat them?"

"He used his incredible strength to punch those bad guys, then he left with the girl before the police officers arrived."

The Sakura News Station showed the footage of Archer fighting the bad guys that was taken by one of the people in the bank using his cell phone. Shirou almost threw out the food he was eating after seeing Archer.

"This can't be true!" Shirou said as he opened his cell phone to make a call.

"Stop staring at me, Archer. I can't concentrate on eating," Rin said with a smirk as she looked at Archer.

"What is wrong with me staring at you?"

"It's making me uncomfortable."

"But I love looking at you as you eat," Archer teasingly said as he smiled at her.

Archer, when will you stop fooling around?

Then suddenly her cell phone rang. Rin took it from her pocket, and when she opened it she saw that the caller was Shirou. She answered the phone with an irritated voice.

"Shirou, what is it that you want to talk about?"

"Are you with Archer?"

"Yes, I am."

"I can't believe it. How did he get in our world?"

When Rin was about to tell Shirou the whole story, Archer grabbed her phone and talked to the man.

"Sorry, Rin can't talk right now. She's here with me and we are eating lunch. Don't call her as we will be busy for the rest of the day. Oh, and by the way, we're on a date, so don't even think of following us," Archer said to Shirou sarcastically.

"But, Archer, can you at least tell me how you…." Shirou wasn't able to finish what he was saying when Archer ended the call.

Rin looked at Archer as she continued eating.

"I thought that you would get mad at me," Archer said as he gave Rin's cell phone back.

"Yeah, I was a bit mad when you took my cell phone, but what more can I do? I am stuck here with you," Rin answered as she returned her cell phone back to her pocket.

The two of them continued eating silently; no one was talking when suddenly they overheard other people's conversation.

"Ano, Kyouya-sempai," the girl said shyly.

"What is it, Ami-chan?" the man answered.

The girl cleared her throat before she continued talking, "Can you please accept this chocolate?"

The man was silent. Then he took the chocolate and ate it. In Japanese's tradition, during Valentine's Day a woman would give a chocolate to a man as a sign of her love for him, and if the man would eat the chocolate it meant that he was accepting the girl's love and they would start dating after that. The man would give chocolate to the woman he loves during the White's Day, which is the same day as the Valentine's Day.

"What a scene," Archer said as he looked at Rin with a smile on his lips.

"Now what?"

"I wonder if you will give me chocolate too," he said, laughing slightly.

"What! Are you insane? And why would I do that?"

"Nothing. I was just wonderingg if you would give me chocolate."

"You have money, right? Why don't you just buy one for yourself if you want to eat a chocolate so badly?"

"You have a point there," Archer said. He stood up and went to the store located inside the restaurant where they where they were eating. He bought a box of chocolate and returned back to their table.

Rin had just finished eating; she looked at Archer as he put the chocolate in the table like a child.

"I didn't know that you like chocolates," Rin said as she smiled a little.

"The only chocolate that I will eat is the chocolate that will come from you," Archer said arrogantly.

"Then why did you buy that box of chocolate?" Rin curiously asked as she blushed slightly.

"Isn't it obvious? I am going to give it to you."

"What? But a guy should only give chocolate to the woman that he likes!" Rin panicked as she talked.

"That's why I am giving this to you: because I like you."

Rin stood up and went to the comfort room without saying a word. She looked at the mirror; she was blushing when Archer said that he liked her. She wasn't sure if he was fooling around or if he was serious, but one thing was for sure: she couldn't stop herself from blushing.

Rin turned the faucet on and then washed her face. She looked at the mirror for the last time and dried her face using a face towel. Slowly, she returned back to her seat with poise.

"Hey, accept his chocolate," Archer said as he gave the chocolate to Rin.

"I can't accept that. I mean when I accept that then we will start dating," Rin answered like a child as she looked at the chocolate.

"Okay, first of all we really are dating today, and second, even if you accept this chocolate now we will not be dating by tomorrow because I will be gone. So just accept this chocolate."

"Oy! Since when did a man become so demanding when it comes to giving chocolate to a girl?"

"Right, so I have to be polite for you to accept this chocolate?"

"I don't know, maybe. I'm not sure myself."

Archer looked at Rin directly in her eyes, then he stood up and offered the chocolate in a polite manner.

"Kindly accept this chocolate, Rin."

Rin smiled when she saw Archer's change of character. Being polite and kind was definitely out of his character.

"Now why are you smiling?" Archer asked as he raised his left eye brow.

"You are a kind of person who will do anything to get what you want. Now I really am curious of your identity," Rin answered as she accepted the chocolate.

"You know my real identity, Rin, and you will surely be surprised when you know my name."

"So, what is your name?"

"It's a part of our game, and you have to win first before you can ask me that."

"Unfair!"

"But you agreed with my rules in this game. Anyway, shall we go now?"

"And where are we going?"

"We are going to have fun."

Archer held her hand as he walked away from the restaurant.

"Can you please remind me again why are we here in this place?" Rin asked as she scanned the arcade.

There were so many people in there, from children to adults. She even saw some of her schoolmates with their boyfriends or girlfriends playing around. The place was noisy because there were many games in there. For her, who doesn't like noise, that place was hell. But there was something that caught her attention: in each arcade there were prizes that you could claim once that you got that many tickets in playing games, and one of them was a life-sized black cat stuff toy. She didn't like cats at all, but seeing a stuff toy that big really did amuse her. She was not aware that Archer was watching her. After few minutes, Archer finally arrived after buying one coin.

"Eh? Wait, Archer, you will use only one coin in playing here? Why didn't you buy more?"

"This coin is enough. Watch me."

Archer started playing a game where he can gain more coins if he wins. The rules were simple: the person had to hit the target using a gun. The more targets he could hit, the more coins he could get, but the distance from the shooter to the target was twenty meters so it was almost impossible to hit it. But Archer was different.

He started playing the game, and before long he had won many times. He now had one hundred tokens in his hands.

"You see? That was easy," Archer said as he smiled at Rin.

"Well, I see. Now what will you do to the remaining tokens?"

Archer did not answer; he scanned the place to look for something that might interest him. Then he saw a machine where a person would get a stuff toy by controlling a hand-like device. He saw that there was a group of girls who tried to get some stuff toys but all ended up failing. Before they left, Archer went to the machine and started playing it. The girls watched him as he controlled the machine, and after a few seconds he was able to get a stuff toy without any problems.

The girls were amazed at him. Rin, who was watching Archer, walked towards him but stopped when a girl approached him.

"Wow, that was great, mister," one of the girls in the group said as she giggled.

"That was easy," Archer answered as he looked at his prize, "If you want I can get one of these for you and your friends."

The girl was so ecstatic that she shook Archer's hand as a sign that she agreed with him.

Archer used the coins that he won and played the game again. He did not miss his target, and after five minutes he was done getting the remaining stuff toys for the group of girls.

The girls thanked Archer and began to flirt with him. Archer was not aware that Rin was staring at him the whole time.

Why you? Stupid Archer! Arrg!

Rin was silent as she watched Archer talking with the girls. Then, suddenly, a good-looking man approached her with a smile on his lips.

"Ummm hi, miss," the man said.

Rin did not look at the man; her attention was focused on Archer.

"Miss?" the man asked as he stared at her.

Rin was absolutely stunning with her normal clothes, and basically, she could attract boys even if she was not doing anything. She looked at the man and gave him a smirk, but the man did not back off, he still smiled at her as he continued to talk.

"I'm not interested in whatever it is that you want to say," Rin frankly answered the man with a calm tone.

"Right, I guess you don't want to talk because of your boyfriend over there," the man kindly answered as he pointed his index finger to Archer.

"H-he's not my boyfriend!" Rin answered in a panicky voice.

"Then you're free?"

"Eh?" was Rin's reaction.

Archer was staring at Rin as she talked with another man. He walked toward Rin, look at the man who was talking with her, and held her hand.

"Back off, dude," Archer said.

"Dude, what's your problem?" the man answered.

"Look here, we are dating so back off."

"But she told me that you're not her boyfriend."

Archer looked at Rin, then slowly held her hand tighter, "Yes, it is true that I am not her boyfriend but…"

"But what?"

"I already gave her a chocolate and she accepted it. So don't you ever follow us," Archer said as he walked away, dragging Rin with him.

"What were you thinking? Why did you talk to that guy?" Archer asked as he walked, "He was obviously flirting with you."

"Aren't you the one who was flirting with those girls?" Rin answered sarcastically.

"Of course I'm not! They are nothing compared to you!"

Rin stopped walking and let go of Archer's hand.

"When will you stop fooling around, Archer?"

"Who said that I am fooling around?"

"Then if you are not fooling around, stop saying things that you don't mean!"

"Everything that I am saying is true!"

"Then it is true that you like me?"

Archer did not answer; he took Rin's hand and continued walking.

"Why don't you answer me, you moron?"

"There is a better way to answer," Archer said as he walked to the group of girls again.

The girls were delighted to see Archer back again, but their smiles faded when they saw that he was with Rin.

"Listen," Archer said as he showed the girls that he was holding Rin's hand, "This girl with me, we are dating and for some reason she thought that I was flirting with you girls. So go now and don't disturb us."

The girls walked away; they were mad at Archer but they did not answer him back.

The atmosphere was suffocating. Neither Archer nor Rin talked, when suddenly a little child approached them.

"Onii-chan?" the child said as he looked at Archer.

"What is it?" Archer answered.

"I saw that it was easy for you to get stuff toys from that machine," the boy continued as he pointed his index finger to the machine, "Can you please get one for me?"

Archer smiled at the child and used his coins to play the game again. He was able to get another stuff toy without any problems, and he handed it to the boy as he smiled and patted his back. After a few minutes, more children were coming to Archer and asking for him to get stuff toys for them. Archer gave each of them a stuff toy. They became the center of attention in the arcade. Before Archer realized it, all of the toys in the machines were all gone. The people around him clapped their hands at him; he was indeed a hero for those children. He was not aware that Rin was observing him and silently admiring him because of what he did.

"So you can be sweet to children sometimes," Rin said as she smiled at Archer.

Archer did not talk; he just stared at Rin. It was his second time to see her smiled like that, and for some reason he ended up not being able to talk at all.

"Now what?" Rin asked as she raised her eye brow.

Archer did not answer; he just continued playing other games in the arcade. When he had enough tickets he went to the place where he could claim his price. Then he asked the lady to give him the big life-sized black cat stuff toy and handed it to Rin.

Rin just looked at the stuff toy and asked, "Why did you…"

"I saw you staring at it earlier, so I decided to play games in order for me to get it. I'm not sure if you will like it or not, but consider this as a souvenir to our date."

Rin sighed. Archer was indeed unpredictable.

"Rin, I was serious. I like you," Archer said as he walked outside the arcade, not intending to look in Rin's reaction.

Rin was blushing so much that she couldn't control it. She hid her face in the big life sized stuff toy and hugged it tightly. She wasn't sure what she was feeling. It was her first time to feel that way. She was used to many guys confessing their feelings to her, but it was different when Archer said it. Her knees were now so weak that she knelt to the floor.

Stupid Archer!

"Oy! Rin, what is taking you so long?" Archer said as he walked towards Rin and helped her stand up again, "What happened to you?"

Rin did not answer; she was still shaking.

"Do you want me to carry you? You're shaking," Archer said with concerned tone in his voice.

"N-no… there's no need for you to do that," Rin finally had the strength to speak.

"You can't walk. Let me carry you," Archer said as he carried Rin.

Rin protested as tried to free herself from Archer's warm arms, but he was too strong for her to do anything about it. Then Archer stopped walking and opened the door of a car before helping Rin to enter it.

"Archer, this is a Mercedes, right?" Rin asked as she sat in the front seat.

"Yes, it is. I got tired of riding the motor so I asked the ring to give me a car," Archer answered as he sat in the driver's seat.

"So, where are we going this time?" Rin answered, still shaking.

"To a place where we can watch the sunset."

"Beach?"

"No, we are going to the amusement park."
