Chapter Two
"Settra does not serve. Settra rules. Go, prince of Khemri. Settra will forgive your trespasses if you but make the jackals howl. Teach them that the kings of the Great Land cannot be bought and sold like slaves. And then, when it is done, Settra shall take your head, and take back his people." Settra the Imperishable (Warhammer End Times)
Sedecim now just sat down, he did not sleep, he did not expect that he would need to.
"It would be as I feared, I no longer require sleep, this means that I am truly no longer human."
He had his eyes closed and was now began to focus on the area around him.
He could hear the breaths of Shirou Emiya as he slept, but he also could hear the foot falls of Saber, as she drew closer to him.
She would need to sleep as well or at least if he was right, she would due to the fact that Shirou was low power mage.
She now slide open the door to the room the he had been given, his eyes opened and met her gaze, it was as cold as stone.
The eyes one another for a whole minute in silence before Saber then asked him, no more liked demanded "Why were you around the same area as us!"
Sedecim gave shrug and said "I said that I was going to look for a reason to why I am here, I can feel the emotions around me, that Church was a place that felt off."
He saw that she was about to ask why they did not see him there, he already answered her before she could ask it.
"I did not go in and check it out due to the fact that if I get a sick twisted feeling from a place, it usually means that it is in my best interests not to go in."
He now stood up so the two of them were face to face "You don't storm an enemy keep if you don't have to and you don't know what is inside it."
He saw that Saber was able to grasp his metaphor, so far.
Sedecim gave yet another shrug as he said "I am not sure about you, but unless I know who and what is in a place, I will not go and attack it, safe to say that it worked out well in the end, I am sure your battle would have ended differently."
It was true and Saber knew it, she did not have the strength and raw ability to take on Berserker head on.
Not like the man in front of her had done at any rate.
She was also partly still in awe of the fact that an attack that reduced the mad man to a burnt wreck only destroyed Sedecim's clothes.
What is more is that he acted as if he expected as much, a man who is able to predict the course of a battle is talented as well as suspicious.
As if he knew what was on her mind he said "If you want to know, I think you are wise to keep such close tabs on me."
Saber did not take it as praise and asked "Do you mean that you will betray us and your word?"
Sedecim shook his head "No, but a stranger who is able to fight on par with a foe you are not, can be a threat even if he is your ally, I am just speaking from the perspective of a commander."
Saber could see his logic, she also could see that his eyes right now did not reflect the room or anything, in fact it was as if they were resting from his battle with Berserker.
Saber now said "I do not trust you."
In reply Sedecim said "I have yet to earn your trust, that is all, what I did earlier, that was all due to the fact that it was the path I wished to follow."
To Saber this was not a saying that she was familiar with and all she could do was stare intently at him to elaborate on it.
"I see, so you wish me to explain, in all my time, I there are a few sayings that are my guide to life."
Sedecim now gave a pause, he clearly expected her to ask him about what they were, or he was trying to end this hear so he did not have to answer her.
Saber was able to pick up on this and asked "And what were these that you live your life by?"
Sedecim gave a sigh then said "I will tell you one, as a sign of trust, I ask that you do not repeat what I am going to say to you."
To him, this was the first step on the road to gaining Saber's trust.
She gave him a nod and then asked "How do I know that you are telling me the truth and not sweet nothings that you wish me to hear."
Sedecim's features became hard when she said this and he said "I do not lie about what I believe in, nor should any that will only destroy you later on."
His tone that was usually polite had turned harsh in all but an instant and she could feel the anger behind it.
Saber was no fool, she could tell that this anger was much deeper than what Berserker had.
"My apologies, I spoke out of turn, it was not my intent to offend you."
Sedecim gave a nod of his head and the anger that was in him seemed to vanish, it was now known to her that Sedecim when he was angry was not a man any wished to face
He took in a deep breath, then he said "I want every single one of you to follow the path you truly wish to follow."
His words did get through to Saber.
She looked at him and said "You wish to only follow the path that you wish to follow, what do you mean by that."
To reply to her Sedecim said "I wish to follow the path that I have chosen, that I wish to follow until the end, I do not wish to be set on one by any person, thing or God."
Saber narrowed her eyes at him and said "Does that not make you selfish that you only do what you wish to do?"
He gave her a nod and said "Does it, that would depend on how I was raised, it also would depend on the ideals that I hold dear to my heart, but that is all I will share with you for now."
She was about to speak to him of what she lived her life by when he raised his arm to silence her.
"You need not tell me of how you live your life, I can feel a great amount of regret in you, you keep it hidden deep within you."
Saber looked at him, this was a breach of privacy and she was about to rebuke him for this when she recalled his words before the fight with Berserker.
"I wish had never got this power, but the wishing star has already fallen."
It may be that this was a guide to how he lived his life as well.
She now calmed herself and said "The power that you have, do you wish that you did not have it, do you wish that it never came to you?"
He shook his head "By the time you see a shooting star, it has long since died, it is long gone, just like your wish, get up and move on with life, it won't wait for you."
Saber knew this well enough and then said "You are not a normal man, I have seen what you are capable of, it far exceeds any take normal."
Now Sedecim said "If I may say, normal is just a term defined by time we live in, such things like justice they too are the same, to a man what is fair and just may differ from the nation in which he lives."
Saber now raised he eyebrow at him "Just how old are you, I am unable to tell."
The answer she got was "In my last memory I would have been around 27 years and a half."
She took note of the fact that he had said in my last memory instead of I am.
"I see, if you must now I am-."
He raised his hand in reply to her and said "You need not tell me your age, you and I are both here, if you tell me your age it may just give you away."
She understood him, clear as crystal, he was sure that there were those who may hear them even hear, if she did say her name it would have to be in private, where none but those who were meant to hear it could hear her say it.
"Sedecim" Saber let the world roll around in her mouth, it was Latin, well in origin at least.
She also realised that she had said rather than thought of it and was glad that he seemed to know what she had meant by it.
She left the room he was and shut the door behind her "Just who is Sedecim, what is his wish?"
As she began to walk away she now hear a voice gently singing.
"Walk on wandering soul for you respite we pray, let our humble song clear your heart of dismay, rekindle the flame in your soul and set you free, so walk one and become the light that guides the way."
Saber was a tad unsure of what she had just heard, but the tune that the voice held told her that the song was not the meant to be the most joyous of ones.
She was unsure if it was Sedecim's, his voice did not sound like that when he was with them, it was as if he another person when he was alone.
"Is he hiding his true nature from us, he said that I hold regret, yet if it was his voice I just heard, then was that regret he held as well?"
Saber was unsure of it, but one thing she was sure of, was that Sedecim or XVI was not his real name.
It did pose the question to her of "Why does he hide his name from us, if he did tell us his name, would any of us know who he is?"
Saber now entered the room she had been given and began to plan the next move.
As long as he was their ally, it was safe to rest at night, if his feeling sense was real and not false.
It was not that he was lying to them, it was just that if what he said about him was true, then why was he with them now?
The next day
Shirou had just finished making the meal for the three of them, Sedecim had helped and praise the lord that he was in some clothes, Saber too had some clothes.
It also made her give off an aura of authority and class, it was as if this was the type of person she was.
On the other hand, Sedecim was now in a black long sleeved shirt with white pants, it was not the same as what he had worn before, but it seemed to do for him.
If there was one thing that Shirou knew about his ally, it was that the man did not lament over what he was in.
Sedecim in turn also had helped with washing up, the reason he gave was "You are letting me stay here, allow me to lighten your burden."
To Shirou he was not use to an act like this, he usually was the one who went to help others.
He had recalled what the man had said to him last night on the topic of the human heart.
"It the vastness of the universe, it is the light of the human heart that gives warmth to the cold nothingness that is out there."
Shirou was unsure of what his guest and ally meant, was it a way to say that all of his own acts shine out for people like Sedecim to see?
He did not know it, but to his guest, his heart did shine for all to see.
"You need to be a little more focused on what you are doing Shirou, I can't be around you all the time, by the way, if I may ask, do you have any shades?"
Shirou was able to tell, why those had any meaning at all, in fact they were the most logical thing to get at the time for Sedecim.
The man's eyes were able to reflect all that he saw, it was not a feat that any would see as natural, it also gave him away as part of this Holy Grail War.
But then it hit him, with all that had gone on last night, he forgot that Sedecim had said he had no ties to magic of any kind.
If this was true, then how did he do what he did last night?
This was a question that was still a mystery to him, not only him but all who saw him last night.
If it was true and the man had no magic, what could he do if he had it?
He did not act like Saber did nor did he give off the same sort of feel she and Archer had.
But the feeling Sedecim gave off was far from just human, it was as if the man was more than a man and had made peace with that.
Shirou was not a Newtype so he did not have the extra sense to help him decipher this, but he could tell that the man he had allied with was at peace, as if he held no wish of his own.
"No Sedecim I do not have shades but I will get you some, um that is really awkward do you have any other name that I can call you by?"
The man gave a sigh and said "For the sake of all things call me Hitoro when I am not in battle, can you do that?"
Shirou gave him a nod "Alright Hitoro, I will go and get you some shades, I can see why you will need them."
In reply he got was a laugh as the red haired man said "No need to be so serious all the time, if you do, you will find that your heart will turn to stone and you will lose what you wish to protect the most."
It was as if the words had been said in a certain way so that those who heard it could get different meanings from it "If I am always like this, I can lose sight of what I am trying to achieve, if so that may just make me colder and harder than I am now."
Saber though she was not in the same room had heard this as well and what she took out of it was "If you turn your heart to stone, if you do not take time to relax and enjoy life, then you will lose that which you desire and that which you love."
If he knew that the two of them would take what he said in two separate ways, he did not tell them.
If he knew that the two of them had both heard him he did not let it show either.
To ease the tension of this moment, the phone rang and before Shirou was able to get to it Sedecim, or Hitoro when he was not in battle got to it first.
On the other end woman said in a way too cheerful voice "Hey Fujimura here!"
Shirou saw Hitoro almost smiled as he replied, the voice he used was not his own.
"Excuse me, you may have the wrong number?" On the other end Fujimura said "Hey Shirou, why do you sound so, um how do I put it, like total nut?"
The reply she got, almost made Shirou fall over, Hitoro said in a most perfectly calm tone "This is Quattro Bajeena, head of the Anti Earth Union Group, I suggest that you check the number and dial again lady."
He then hung up on here, leave in Shirou gaping at what he had just done, in about half a minute the phone rang again and Hitoro picked it up again, but this remained silent.
"Shirou, some total wacko was on the phone, I mean was like part of some terrorist wannabe group.
Then in the voice of Char Aznable himself Hitoro said "Mam, I let your first call slide, but even Ra La Flaga will lose patience when insulted a third time."
The lady on the other end hung up the phone.
Saber had no idea what to make of it, did he just pull a prank on the lady on the other end.
Shirou now said to him "It is not nice to just lie like that Hitoro?"
Hitoro in turn shook his head "I did not lie, from where I was before I was in the void, I took that name and started that Union, it may not be as she thought we were, but we were very real."
He then took the liberty to add "We fought against both the extremists on earth and those in space, in short we were an army."
All Shirou could say in response to that was "I can see, you are not lying or at least I can't tell if you are or if you aren't."
In reply to that Hitoro said "I am not, but if you wish to doubt me I will not stop you, I will not prove anything to you."
Hitoro now said "I meant no harm by what I said, I only wished to see if I could still feel joy in such actions."
Saber took note of this, when he said this, his eyes were a little blank and almost empty, she also took note of the he had said that he had started it, not lead it.
Shirou at this point said "So can you, no more like, did you feel joy?"
Hitoro gave him a nod and said "In fact I did, this is good, what did you think that I enjoy fighting, in truth, I will tell you that I am not fond of it, no I don't mind a friendly battle, but one to the death, that I don't wish to be part of."
Saber did not know what to think of this "He is a man who has great skill at arms and in combat and possibly warfare, but he does not like to resort to it, is he a coward?"
She knew this was not true, no coward could take on a foe like Berserker and not only fight but win.
It was now that the phone rang again and Shirou answered it, after about a minute he put it down and said.
"I have to go and give Fuji-nee lunch, um can you guys wait here till I get back?"
In reply to him Hitoro said "I think it would be best if we both go with you, unless you do not wish to?"
Hitoro turned his head and looked at Saber who in turn gave him a nod and said "What I wish does not come into matter, I must protect my Master at all times, that is what I swore to do."
Shirou gave a sigh as he saw that the two of them had to come with him "Okay, I give up, but Saber, you and don't have to call me Master, Shirou is fine."
Saber was a little taken aback at this and said "You trust me to call you your real name in public."
In reply Shirou said "Yes, it is fine, we shook on stuff like this last night?"
Saber gave a smile and said "You words do me great honour as your Servant."
Shirou gave a nod and said "I trust you, we shook on it so that is enough for me, that is the same for you Hitoro."
Hitoro gave him a nod and said "I would expect no less, I gave you my word and my word is my bound and I will honour it as long as long as you honour yours."
Shirou got the feeling that when Hitoro said he had given his word it meant that he would not back down on it.
"Well I just have to go cook some things and then we can go give it to Fuji-nee."
Shirou then went into the kitchen and as he did so Saber asked Hitoro "You said that it was you who started that Union, but you did not say that you were the one to lead it."
Hitoro gave her a nod and said "I see that not much slips past you, truth be told that I did not lead it only found it and recruit those who would lead it."
Saber was unable to understand why he would not lead if he started it, Hitoro could feel this so he answered her.
"I am not the ultimate, there was a woman who was far more capable than I, she was a leader, I do not regret my faith in her."
The School
On the way there, Saber had expressed that she was concerned and on guard if an enemy would attack them.
It was not that she did not recall that Hitoro had the ability to sense the feelings around him, it was she still did not trust the man.
If he took offence to that, Hitoro did not show, he only said that they should do what they set out to do, it was not the wisest thing to walk around so open with foes who may have seen their battle last night.
Now as the three of them were about to approach the school gate Shirou decided that now was the time to say "Saber, if someone tries to talk to you, just shake your head without replying, it'd be best if you'd act like you don't know Japanese."
As the three of them now got a little further into the school, both Saber and Hitoro stopped.
Saber saw that Hitoro had down the same and asked him "I can sense residual mana, something feels off, but it doesn't seem to pose any danger."
Shirou in reply said "I said it was safe, didn't I?"
But Hitoro shook his head at the two of them "No, you can't feel it, but I can, two of them, well to say four, but two of them have been here a little more recently than the other two."
Shirou and Saber did not know if Hitoro was talking about Masters or Servants.
He spoke up "One like you Saber, two of them, I can feel the anger, it is as if one of them was forced to feel a way, then she was cast aside, the other was was desired by one but was cursed by a rival of the one who desired her."
He now looked at the two of them and said "Tread lightly, I can feel that there is some sort of cloud over us, it is not the one that I feel that hangs over the city, this one feels more human than that one."
He saw that they had no idea what he was saying so instead he said "Just stay on guard, this school is not friendly ground."
Shirou was quick to dismiss what Hitoro had said and began to move on, but Saber was a little more cautious than he was.
"You mean to say Sedecim, that you can't feel the one who is behind all of this, you just know that they are here?"
He shook his head "I said that there is a cloud that over us, I can detect who is behind all of this, but if I do, I may just have to seek them out, are you both ready to fight right here and now?"
Saber knew what he meant, Shirou did as well, it was clear to Hitoro that the two of them were no match for a better equipped pair.
"I can feel one is a threat to you as a team, the other is only to Shirou, these twisted feelings, I would not be too sure who it is until I make eye contact, it is rather easy to warp ones emotions around others."
It was his way of telling the two of them that Shirou was not safe at school.
But as it was in Shirou's nature, he just said "I guess I will have to live with that now won't I?"
As the three came to the front of the Archery Dojo Hitoro gave a soft mutter as he said "The sad fact is that, you won't be able to live with it, if it gets you killed."
He now gave Saber a nod, it was to tell her to be vigilant even if her Master will not, she got what he meant and gave him a nod in return.
Hitoro could see no thanks in her eyes, it was more like she was warning him, a warning that he too was a suspect and that he still a threat to them.
Hitoro took it well and gave a shrug as if to say to her "Do what you have to do if you believe it is right, I am not one to stop you, your choices are your own in the end."
It was now that the two of them politely waited outside as Shirou entered to give lunch to a young lady inside the place.
Archery Dojo
Shirou had entered the building while, Saber and Hitoro remained on the outside, as was met by a young lady with violet her and eyes that seemed to match that.
She had some type of traditional outfit from Japan on and a pink ribbon on the left side of her hair.
She was now frozen in place, if one looked over her shoulder they could see that she was not looking at Shirou, but behind him.
If any had seen her gaze, it would lead them to think that she was now in a trance as she gazed as the blonde lady at the entrance of the Dojo.
But that lady was not the object that she saw, no it was a man that she now gazed into the eyes of and he in turn stared back at her.
She took a step back, as if she could see that he was more than what he appeared to be.
She felt as if when he gazed into her eyes, he could see all that she had gone through.
All that was kept hidden by her smile and kind approach to life, he could see what she was like under all of it, he could see what her life was really like.
The violet haired girl took note how he calmly clenched his fists at his side, she got the feel that he was angry, but not with her.
For only a moment that seemed to be an entire life time there was only the two of them, no the three of them, side by side with the young man, there was a man beside him, in a some sort of ghostly visage.
He looked around 50, but his eyes gave her the feel that he was older, as if he was older than all of her family.
She took yet another step back, she was unsure of all what was going on, what was that, who is that man.
It was now that she was snapped back to reality when an all too familiar voice said to her "Hey, I'm here with a lunch for Fuji-nee."
She was still blankly staring at the young man when he said "Would you mind calling her for me?"
It was now that she noticed the blonde haired young lady outside and let her mouth hand wide open as she peered around Shirou to see her.
She then came to her senses and said "Ah, sure." A little bit desperate she made her way to her target.
Now another young lady with brown hair and brown eyes wearing the same uniform as the girl before her came forth and said "Boy I am glad to see you, you have her lunch?"
Her tone was rather relieved, she also looked very happy to see Shirou.
As she now walked right up to him she said "Fujimura sensei has been a handful, when she's hungry she gets high strung."
Shirou was about to reply with some sarcastic remark when this girl said "She also is rather upset that she had to call you multiple times to get, you she said there was some total wacko on the other end of the phone the first few times."
Shirou now gave a quick glance to Hitoro who gave him a nod to tell him that he did not mind what he had just been called.
Shirou now sat down and said "Well I had guests over so, I was unable to get to the phone first."
It was now that the young lady in front of him scratched the back of her head and closed her eyes.
"Sorry, I was really tired so I didn't check?"
She smiled sheepishly as she had her eyes closed and Shirou replied "Shinji again, where is he today?"
It was less of a question more like he knew what the young man was doing, but he got a reply in any case.
"Playing hooky, I think he has a new girlfriend.
As she said this the young lady in front of him made a face of disdain, but this changed as she put her hands on her hips and leaned towards Shirou and said "But anyway, Emiya, who was that woman who was out front, she was gorgeous, is she a friend of yours?"
Her voice was a kin to a child who wished to know a secret.
Shirou's face grew a little unsure as he answered "Um, it's kind of complicated."
His eyes widened as he recalled that the word she has used was 'was' rather than 'is'.
He turned to see that she was gone and could only see Hitoro who in reply just pointed in the direction that Saber had gone.
Shirou got up and then looked to Hitoro and said "Can I ask you to watch over Fuji-nee's lunch while I go get her?"
Hitoro gave him a nod and then walked over to where it was and sat down while Shirou rushed off to find Saber.
Now the young lady with brown hair and eyes got a little shock, she had not seen the young man with Shirou.
She was going to ask Shirou who he was, but he had left, this meant that this guy was with her until he came back.
She eyed the lunch and felt the slight temptation to try and go after it, but the young man beside it just said in a voice so calm it was slightly irritating.
"If you wish to take it, by all means do so, but are you ready to face that repercussions of your actions, if you are by all means take and eat, if not I ask that you take a step back, it is in your best interests not to go after that which you truly do not wish for."
She took a step back, she did not think a man with dyed red hair would say words so deep.
But then she heard "You have a person with violet hair in your club, yet I can tell you are ready to judge me for my hair, I will let you know that it is natural."
he was unsure if his tone was calm as to not mean any offence or if it was calm like that to be rude yet polite at the same time, how old was this guy?
"Um, how old are you?"
She asked him this and as he looked at her he just said "It is only polite to ask such things when you have a need of them, it is also polite to introduce yourself before you ask about others."
She got that there was a slight in his words against her.
She could also tell that she had walked into that one "Oh my, so sorry, I am Mitsuzuri Ayako, I did not mean to be rude."
She closed her eyes as she said this and scratched her head again, she seemed to do this when she knew that she had messed up.
In reply to her the young red haired man said "You can call me Hitoro, that is if you wish to."
She looked at him, that name did ring a bell but she was unsure of where she had heard it before.
She now looked Hitoro up and down and said "You said your hair is natural, how did you know about that?"
As if to say it was written all over her face Hitoro just said "I could see it in your eyes, to put it to you bluntly you were staring at it."
It was a blunt way to put it, it also was true and the best way to put it.
"So Hitoro are you friends with Emiya, it is just that he never mentioned you in anything."
Now in a totally calm and tranquil voice Hitoro said "I bet he does not laugh at your jokes as well, am I right?"
If she had any doubt that this young man did not know Emiya it was cleared with these few words, he just proved to her that he must know Emiya pretty well, no very well, only a few were able to tell this.
"To keep it simple, I will say that I am more like a god father to him, no wait I am his god father."
Ayako now looked at him wide eyed and said "You're his God Father?"
Hitoro gave her a nod and a smile as he said "I just came to make sure he is alright, to think there is a grown woman taking advantage of him, it is rather sad as well as a tad bit disturbing."
His words did not go unnoticed as the tiger herself heard them and looked at him and gave a scream in fear or was it more along the lines of a squeal of joy.
She then said "Just, you are you, where is Shirou, is that my lunch." His reply to her was now in a voice that was the same as Char Anzable.
"I am Lieutenant Quattro Bajeena of the Anti Earth Union Group, I am displeased that you have abused a member."
She looked at the lunch, then back to him, there was no way he was the real Char, due to the fact that he had red hair, but then it hit here.
"Holy, who is this guy, what is a guy like him doing here, no thugs in school!"
Ayako at this point said "Fujimura sensei, his hair is natural, he is also here to keep others from taking your lunch."
In reply to her student she gave a squeal again and said "What are you, are you some type of fan that goes too far."
In reply to her Hitoro just said "And you are a grown lady who can't even cook her own meals, I wonder who is better person here?"
There was no wonder to it, he was telling her that she was a shit person in the most polite way possible what's more his target knew what he was saying.
She took the lunch and said "You're a real jerk you know."
He again said in a polite tone "I only stated what I have seen, if you do not like it, work on it and change it, unless you don't wish to, it is your choice."
He gave a sigh "Now I am stuck here until Shirou comes back, but he will likely forget, in any case I shall wait, I still have some time."
Hitoro closed his eyes and then sang with and ever so gently "You stare up at the stars in the clear, endless skies, slowly fading light shining back in your eyes, completely consumed with your search for certainty, you'll lose sight of everything and get left behind."
Taiga and Ayako had no idea what the two of them had just heard, but it was clear to them that his words held some meaning, even if they were a song."
Ayako who had got off to a more friendly start with Hitoro then asked "Um, what was that song, the one you just sang, it had a nice ring to it, you have a good voice to go with it."
In reply to her Hitoro said "If one tries they can can achieve what they set out to do, but one must have both the will and the means to do so, if you do not have the means plan and start on who you can get them."
In short what he was saying to them was, to move on and that if they wanted it enough they would find a way to get it.
I a matter of mere seconds he had changed for a polite yet rude young man to a rather wise and well intentioned young man, if he was young at all.
Ayako asked "Just how old are you Hitoro?"
In reply to her Hitoro said "I guess you can say I am 27."
Hitoro had to think "Why are people so interested in how old I am, if did not have to hide the system, I would use it to find out why?"
He now glanced to the door that was to his side and saw a bit of violet hair trying to hide itself from him.
He was able to feel the uncertainty that was in her as well as the fear and almost broken mind she had.
He could also feel her dismay at what had happened to her and the desire to be saved.
But right now he could feel the fear most of all, so he stood up and said "I see, so one or more of your pupils is unsure of me, I shall leave, if Shirou comes by tell him I will find my own way back."
As he was about to leave Taiga said "Hey wait, you are staying with Shirou?"
Hitoro in turn gave her a nod as he said "That is correct."
She now narrowed her eyes and asked "How, how do you know him?"
In reply Hitoro gave a shrug "I can you can say I am his god father."
Taiga took a step back as he said this and said "You, you are his God, his God father?"
She blinked again and then said "Oh, so you are family then, in that case if Shirou, I mean Emiya does not come back why don't you just wait with us, he always walks back with us?"
She had gone from hostile to friendly in a matter of mere minutes if not less.
Hitoro shook his head "I can see that I am a distraction to your students, I think it is best if I left."
The two of them now noticed that Sakura the violet haired girl was the one he was saying was a little put off or rather uneasy around him.
"Sakura, don't be like that, you'll make Hitoro, go away, try not to be so, uneasy."
Taiga said this in some vain attempt to keep Hitoro with them, but when they turned to look at him, he was already gone.
Ryuudou Temple Gate
It was a short walk from the school and for Hitoro it was much quicker than it would be for most, this place, it felt the same as that Church had.
This place too was a place of worship, it was bad comedy to say the least, it was now that it hit him, though it was much fainter than the other this one and the two others, there was a fourth place that had this feel to it.
Hitoro was sure of it, he was due to the fact that now he had been to two of these places and now had a fair idea of what these places felt like.
As he saw that this all made sense in his mind Hitoro then said "I see so now I am not two thirds down, but only half done."
He was at the bottom of the steps that lead up to the temple when he felt a presence around him.
Not only that he felt as if it was tied down here unable to leave this place or rather unable to leave where it was at.
What is more, it didn't feel all that human at all, no to Hitoro it felt empty as if it had no meaning.
"Like a rusted gun with a broken trigger that can no longer fire, it has no real purpose."
He was about to take his leave when he saw a man wearing a black suit and brown pants with glasses.
He could feel the like of emotion within this man, he could also feel that this man had a wish to fight him.
With no warning the man launched a sudden attack at Hitoro, who in the spur of the moment, dodge the attack.
But this may have be the intent of the attacker all along as he made a curved strike at the back of Hitoro's neck.
His hand made contact with Hitoro's neck and there was a loud crack rang out in the area.
The man in the suit looked at Hitoro, Hitoro's eyes now seemed to reflect the world around him.
The man now stole a glance at his hand and saw that it had connected and made the blow.
But it was not this that had made the crack.
He now looked at his chest to see that the left elbow of his victim had made contact with his collar bone.
Now as this man came to the realisation that Hitoro was not a foe he could beat so easily and was about to pull back when his arm, the one he had struck with found that it was now in his foes hand.
Not only that but he was unable to budge a single inch from where he was.
Hitoro quickly crushed his arm while as he followed up the elbow blow with a back fist to the face.
Hitoro was quite sure that he heard a crack as he probably smashed in the skull of his foe, at this point it didn't matter.
Hitoro then as he heard the made a slash at the man's leg cutting it badly as was his intent and then pushing his foe back from him to watch him fall down.
The man in the suit did not cry out in pain as he collapse to the ground as the blood gushed out from the side of his left leg.
But this was not enough, right now this man was a threat, it was not that Hitoro had not felt the blow, he had felt it, but he did not feel the pain for some reason.
Nor did his body react as if it had been hit badly.
Though he did not say, he was aware that his body was no longer that of a normal human, a fact that he did not like.
Looking at the man's other leg Anthony blinked and the sound of a gun being fired could be heard in the area.
The man before him did not show any pain on his face, but one could see that he was in a lot pain, far more than what most people should be able to take.
Hitoro's eyes shone now and he saw the reason why this man had done such a thing, it was rather foolish in reality.
"I see, so you did so due to the fact that you thought I had come here looking for a person that you held dear, thank you for that by the way."
His voice was polite to the point were he was mocking this man due to the fact that he had tried to kill him for no reason other than Hitoro had been there.
"I can tell that you are stronger than most people, but I have had to take on people like you before, I need not tell you the result."
Hitoro or more like at this point Sedecim said "It is a shame, I do so regret doing that to you, as a marital artist you are one of the best that I have seen."
As he began to walk away he turned back to see the man on the ground who was yet to say a word doing his best to try and stop the blood flow.
Sedecim's face now was filled with rage as he said "Harm any of those who I am allied with and I will show you why you should embrace death!"
It was not a threat, the man could see that, not only did the eyes reflect the orange sky, but they seemed to shine just a little more when he said this.
"You have no magic, yet you are a Master, I see so she has to drain it from this area and that within it, I'll leave you with this one warning then, have the intent to harm, kill or steal from me or any of my allies and die."
Hitoro could see that the man would find a way to survive, he should have killed him, but a face kept coming to him when he made such thoughts.
He now made his way quickly and as out of sight as it was possible, for him not many stopped to notice him as he past them by.
Even so, he began to sing under his breath a song that he took some comfort.
His voice gentle as ever sang quietly "Fine Fortasse Nihil est vobis dire, Fine Fortasse Nihil est vobis Lucrari, Fine Fortasse Nihil est tamen."
It was in Latin, a line from the theme from a game he had played so long a go, he sang it now to bite back the empty emotion that he had felt in that man, such emotions spread and Hitoro at this point had no intention of losing the feeling he had right now, well at least not right now, not yet."
It was working so he now whispered them in English "This war, is it just as twisted game?"
As he made his way back to the school he sang under his breath "In the end perhaps there is nothing you can say.
In the end perhaps there is nothing to avail you. In the end there is nothing, however?"
It was not that Hitoro was afraid of it, but it was the fact that a many so empty was a Newtypes worst enemy, no emotion to read in him, just pure violence.
Had Hitoro not had the system with him, he may have had a bit of trouble to figure out a way to deal with that man.
That was only half the truth, he could have dealt with him, but that would involve him killing his foe.
That man may have been modified and trained, but he was still human, unless it was a do or die, Hitoro was not just going to kill him. He did not need to feel the emotion of guilt at this time nor be tied down by it.
He was now drawing closer to the school, he could feel that Shirou and Saber were still there, he could say he was just lost.
If it was a comedy
Taiga looked at Hitoro pulled out her latest edition of Mobile suit variation then looked at it and then back to Hitoro then back at the magazine and back to Hitoro.
At the top of her lungs Taiga yelled "HOLY SHIT, YOU'RE ANTHONY HITORO IN THE FLESH!"
Hitoro took a step back and asked "Wait how do you know me name?"
Taiga though was poking his chest, his head and pulling his hair, there were stars in her eyes.
"A real Gundam Pilot, a real Gundam Pilot, sure he is from a game, but he is real, so cool, so cool!"
She now asked him "Wait, where is your uniform, your magic book and all the cool stuff you're meant to have."
Hitoro gave a shrug and said "I was at the graveyard when a girl with twin tails and blue eyes attacked me with spray and a lighter burning all my stuff, I have no idea why, can't a guy visit a grave in peace?"
The tiger roared and said "THAT EVIL LITTLE GIRL HOW CAN SHE DO THIS TO ANTHONY HITORO!"
She now did a dance and said "SUPER ULTIMATE GUNDAM SPECIAL MOVE, THE RED HOT HOT STUFF SUPER DASH THINGY!"
Hitoro knew what she meant and silently said in his head "That is what they call Trans-Am, someone please kill me now!"
Hitoro now saw that she was telling everyone about him "How shit, why can't I use the Zero system when I need to, this isn't do or die, but it may soon be!"
First things first, The face that Sedecim saw was not his dead girlfriends but a Lacus asking him not to kill if he doesn't have to.
Second why did I put Kuzuki at the temple, well the one of him at school is a illusion by Caster while the real one saw Anthony with Saber and Shirou and saw him leave on his own. He followed him from the school and since Sedecim was too focused on the Temple an the things that felt like it he was unable to pick up on him.
Did I miss any others please PM me for answer.
Please review and tell me what you think AND who you want Anthony to be paired with, thanks and by.
