Here is the second chapter. Not much I can say except it took a few days to write and a bit of editing, nothing extraordinary compared to anime movie developers work and work of actual published book authors. Thank you angelcarstairs4679 for helping me write this story.

Shirou walked to school by himself, the thing he least suspected his guardian wanted him to do during a war. He was given a vague warning that when in peril a command seal would summon his servant to him for protection.

Rin entered the school gates, looking around for any suspicious activity. She knew it would be better to go into hiding since the war had started but since she knew Shirou was a master and goes there, it might be better to take him out while she had the chance. Archer was next to her, invisible to others as he glanced around, searching for nearby servants.

Shirou was being targeted by a Servant of a class known for taking out its targets easily, Assassin. The Master was away but the Servant could do its work without their help.

Rin on the other hand was just gazing from her class, watching as Shirou strolled on the grounds in his PE uniform, wondering how stupid he could be to walk out into the open like he was trying to get all the masters and servants to kill him.

The Servant after him was female while the masters gender was unknown. Archer invisible to the n*** eye didn't think he would want to fight a fearsome enemy like Assassin.

A master stood on a hill, their arms outstretched as they took in the sight of the city. Their servant stood next to them, wondering what their master could be thinking that was giving them such a good mood.

The next thing Shirou knew he was the one being followed and watched by Rin. He couldn't trust a girl he once had such strong feelings for, it was sickening. He knew one person watching him but there were really two people looking at him who either had to kill or be killed.

Rin could sense the presence of a servant watching the boy in the school and she wondered if she should tell him, knowing how slow his brain would process the information, which would eventually cost him his life.

Shirou couldn't be helped by anyone even if she didn't hesitate to tell him. Assassin's opportunity was now while Shirou was in the stairs. Assassin stabbed her knife at Shirou. The knife went right into Shirou's leg in a contorted and painful way.

Rin heard a pained yell coming from the corridor but before she could turn, she heard the sound of a blade flying past her, barely missing her head as she ducked.

Shirou didn't know it yet but Rin was in as much trouble as he was. Difference was he didn't have a Servant to help protect him from Assassin.

Rin grunted as she rolled on the ground, gems already in her fingers as she got ready to throw at her assailant, who grinned as she bared her knives. Rin ran as fast as she could, nearly skidding on the floor as she bolted down the corridor, thankful no students were about.

Shirou used the only weapon he could find against Assassin...a clipboard tacked to the wall with very little paper on it. He had to make the most of it because he was limping from his stab wound.

"Shit!" Rin shouted as a knife nearly slammed into her arm as she seized a chair and threw it at the servant. The servant merely snorted as he lifted a hand, sending the chair flying

back at her. She muttered some german words under her breath as she threw gems in the air, blinding the man for a moment as she made a run for the window.

If Shirou was anything like Rin he would be able to escape the same way as her except he had a lot to try to figure out about his mage abilities. He smacked his clipboard into Assassin's wrist.

Rin leaped out of the window and onto the floor below her. She wondered why she didn't even bother taking the stairs when she caught sight of Shirou trying to fend off a servant with a... clipboard?

Shirou found an opening to the Asasssin by kicking her in the face with his foot. Shirou was ashamed to kicking a girl but she would kill him if he didn't.

"Emiya you moron!" Rin shouted as she dashed towards him, a gem in her hand as she threw it at the servant, who shrieked as the gem exploded in her face. "Tohsaka! What are you doing here?!" he shouted as she grabbed him by the wrist as she stepped onto the window sill. "This is a stupid idea," she muttered as she jumped, Shirou's yells filling the air as they dropped.

Shirou knew something bad would happen if he went to school today and it was a girl carrying him around while was fighting for his life.

"Archer!" Rin shouted as her servant materialised, grabbing both of them before they could end up as spilled guts on the ground. When they landed, Rin lost her grip on Shirou and he tumbled onto the ground, dust puffing out from the dirt as he rolled.

Shirou felt pain in his back from that roll as well a seething pain in his wound from the roll.

Rin on the other hand watched as the red head rolled on the ground, yelling as he did so. She sighed, wondering how he even managed to stay alive with just a clipboard earlier.

Shirou surprised her thought walking to her. He had a twinkle in his eyes through the tears of pain of what happened to his leg.

" Thank you for saving me back there."

Rin blushed as he thanked her, calling him a moron for not even knowing any basic magic skills. She felt despaired having to protect him but she wanted to anyway.

Yes Shirou knew he wasn't good at this game and if he wanted to he would run back home right now.

But Rin prevented him from doing just that, grabbing him by the scruff and starring into his face. "Hey, Emiya-kun. If you don't man up and fight like a mage which I have no idea if you are even one or not, you're going to end up on the curb with your guts all around you," she hissed, not wanting to sound so mean but it had to be done.

Shirou wondered what the deuce was with that hostility. Dangerous Servants were on their back but Shirou didn't even have a Servant for that battle.

"Where on earth is your servant? Do you think you can just waltz into school all alone and not get attacked but the first servant that sees the opportunity to get rid of you? You're practically telling them to go kill you at this rate," Rin groaned.

" I don't know how to make my servant turn invisible like you can with Archer. I didn't know school would be a war zone."

"Don't tell me no one taught you any basics," Rin groaned as she called upon Archer, who clicked his tongue as he tried to fend off the two servants on his own. His blades clashed against theirs, Riders shining a bright gold as he swung it at Archer, missing his head by inches while Rider slashed at him.

Assassin skipped around Archer so she could finish the defenseless Shirou. Shirou responded just charging in and ploughing into Assassin.

"Are you an idiot?!" Rin shrieked as she watched him slamming head first into the servant, who got caught in surprise as the boy clambered onto her. She watched as he pulled out a pair of scissors from his pocket and tried to stab her with it.

Assassin wouldn't be defeated by such a weak attempt to hurt her. She disappeared from sight like smoke from a campfire.

Rin on the other hand could only watch as her servant battled with Rider, who grinned as he slammed the sword against him, making him stumble before trying to land a blow on his head. Archer ducked only to get nicked in the shoulder, which made him curse.

Shirou was actually having a better chance with Assassin now that she was staying behind trying not to draw the attention of two masters against her. Shirou used that chance to call out for help.

"Shirou you moron! You better summon your servant or we'll be killed at this rate!" Rin shouted and for once Shirou seemed to have the sense to listen as he lifted up his hand, light shining on it as he opened his mouth.

" I summon Cuirassier to me to help fight this battle. If her blade should fall let her weapon be buried after me."

"Archer!" Rin screamed as her servant fell to the ground, clutching his shoulder as Rider stood above him, his sword raised to deliver the final blow. As Rin started to mutter spells under her breath, a bright light appeared as Shirou's servant materialised.

Rider's attention was on her now. She seemed familiar to him and she was equipped with a halberd, the same weapon that killed him a long time ago. She became his new target.

Rin breathed a sigh of relief as Rider charged at Shirou's servant, giving her time to dat over to Archer and inspect his wound. "Don't be stupid. Save yourself first," he said as he tried to stand up. Blood poured out of the wound as Rin tried to heal him.

Shirou watched in amazement as Cuirassier blocked Assassin's first strike before striking back with a glowing red light moving out of her blade. Assassin was slashed on her right shoulder.

"She's good," Rin muttered as she slowly closed up Archer's wound. "I wonder what kind of Heroic Spirit she is," Archer mumbled as he tried to stand up to rejoin the fray.

She slashed through Rider's armor making his body now vulnerable to her attacks. Rider blamed his body for the reason it couldn't deal with a young dark skin lady like her.

Rin sensed Rider was a little off balanced now and she took the opportunity to mutter a spell, her fingers pointing to his back like a gun as she prepared to fire.

Shirou watched Rin shot energy from her finger that hit her enemy. The shot stunned her enemy from its power.

As she watched Rider stumble a little, she was about to give a little cry of joy when she saw someone appear next to him.

The person appearing next to him was his master. The only similiarity he had with his Servant was he was also male.

Rin watched as the master muttered something to Rider, which looked like it had pissed him off as Rider looked like he was about to hack down his master. Rider gave a brief glare at Shirou and his servant before turning to face Rin, whom he gave a sort of wink, was that even a wink? He turned as his master grabbed his arm, making them disappear in a flash of light.

Shirou couldn't believe his first fight he won. Of course his victory was mostly on his Servants power.

Rin helped Archer to his feet, grateful the enemy servants had retreated, although the look Rider had given her made her stomach turn with uneasiness.

Shirou didn't feel the same way she did. He was dizzy from all the running, rolling, and fighting he had to do before summoning his servant.

"Emiya-kun. Are you alright?" she wanted to ask but Archer stopped her, a hand in front her chest. "Are you sure you want to help this moron of a Master? you can take him out here right now," he said but judging by the Servant he had, Rin thought the chances of her doing just that with an injured Archer had just plummeted.

Shirou appreciated the concern he was getting. It was things like that which helped him move into battle.

Rin thought about it for a while before she finally said it. She knew it was a bad idea to ally with a master who couldn't even provide a substantial amount of mana for his servant to remain invisible but looking at the powerful servant he had summoned, he just might be able to be of some use.

" It's probably better for us if we work together in this game to help fight masters and Servants that mean to kill us," Shirou said.

I know but when I look at you..." Rin muttered, hoping he got the point of it. Archer snorted next to her.

"A confession to someone you called weak right here on this school battlefield."

Shirou blushed as Rin's Servant Archer made a crack that made her angry.

Rin couldn't shake off her anger but when she saw how the red-head blushed, she wondered how did a sweet brainless guy got into this mess in the first place. The clock is ticking as the Grail waited to be claimed. And she wasn't sure if Shirou was a prime candidate for the spot.

Shirou knew the only way he was going to be everything he was needed to be was fixing his mistakes and becoming a strong Master.

Rin knew one way of surviving the war was to ally with a master with a strong servant, even though Shirou wasn't exactly in her list of a reliable mage.
