Emiya Home:

Once Sakura heads for home Shirou just runs a hand up and down Hisa's spine, holding her close, non-verbally assuring he was going nowhere if he could help it. He starts to hum softly, the theme song from one of her favorite anime, as he leans back on the couch he'd settled them on. When Taiga slips in for the food Sakura had placed on a warming plate Shirou had gotten she keeps quiet when she sees the pair. Apparently something had happened to cause Hisa to go into a catatonic state. She leaves them be since Shirou was actually better suited to helping her than anyone else. Generally Hisa's therapist wouldn't approve of the girl latching onto someone like that, but the sad truth was the ways in which Hisa and Shirou were broken lent towards this solution. Shirou was literally the only one that Hisa trusted implicitly. Having Hisa to protect helped Shirou out immensely since her story got through to him that not everyone was worth saving. In Hisa's case living with Shirou had at least gotten her to the point where she stopped wearing the happy mask.

Taiga frowns thoughtfully as she eats, remembering how Hisa told them that her mother would lock her out of the house to study if she brought home a grade lower than a C. Her little brother had constantly mocked her because of what had been discovered were learning disabilities. The teacher in Taiga was incensed at this kind of treatment. Even now Hisa barely tried on her homework as she had been taught she'd be punished no matter how much effort she put into it. Thankfully Shirou was starting to break her of that by helping her with her homework, helping her study when they sparred. If her grandfather was ever given the word to end Hisa's biological family there would be a celebration by Shirou. Finding out that Hisa trusted him because she happened to be an honest to Kami empath did help the situation between the pair as well. They'd gone through six therapists before Hisa agreed to see one all because she couldn't stand to be near the other ones chosen that were experts in child psychology.

As a result Shirou had learned how to read her body language far quicker than the adults had. When she hid behind him he knew whomever they were near was bad news. Hence why he had kicked Matou Shinji's ass to the curb, Hisa automatically hid behind him whenever Shinji was nearby. She practically cowered behind him whenever Tohsaka Rin was close at hand or when Shirou brought her as his date to a school dance. He made sure to fill out the appropriate paperwork to have his younger girlfriend attend school dances as his date while Taiga would escort her to the bathroom. Didn't hurt matters that Shirou carried his training bokken with him everywhere just in case he needed to 'punish' some idiots.

Shirou looks down at the petite raven haired beauty cradled in his arms when she snuggles into him. Her grip on his shirt loosening as the hold her past had on her released, " Welcome back, Hisa-chan, you up to hanging out with Fuji-nee? "

Shirou could see Taiga sit up straighter at his question. He could see his girlfriend's options flickering through her sapphire eyes, since she'd forgotten to take her colored contacts out the night before, she'd foregone them for the day. Taiga was awaiting the verdict, sometimes after a catatonic state Hisa preferred to only have Shirou's company. " Movie night? "

" Fuji-nee, you wanna make the popcorn? " Shirou calls to the kitchen.

" Hai, otouto. Decide on a movie while I make the popcorn. " Taiga calls back.

Resigning himself to carrying his girlfriend for the next little while he shifts her just enough to stand up, before walking over to the shelf of DVD's. As the pair go over their choices Hisa snuggles in closer, glad she no longer had to wear the sunny, always happy mask. With Shirou she could be herself, the insecure, more than most, teenaged girl. The pair finally decide upon Lilo and Stitch to watch. It was a light and happy movie for the most part. Once the tv is on and the DVD in, menu screen cued up, Shirou grabs the remote before settling on the couch with Hisa. The one thing she made sure to keep up with was the dying of her hair. Hisa was asleep by the time the ending credits played, " Lock up, Fuji-nee, I'm getting her to bed. We'll most likely sleep in tomorrow as well. "

Juuban:

Luna listens attentively as Rei tells her about the help she had received in her most recent battle. Help from a fellow senshi and a Kaleidogirl, along with some character calling themselves Knight Carnelian. Since Sailor Moon trusted them Luna would withhold her judgement for the time being. Then there was the fact that Sailor Moon said she defended the people of the Silver Millennium and not the royal family. That didn't sound right to Luna, then again there was a lot she didn't remember still. " Sailor Moon healed you? "

" Hai, the youma had me down, if not for Kaleidogirl Morganite and Knight Carnelian I would most likely be dead and that youma still rampaging. " Rei admits, " Moon used this wand that had a blue handle, silver crescent moon shaped head, and a red gem where the moon and handle of the wand met. She channeled her power through that though she didn't fight, said something about due to how she was raised it's hard for her to defend herself let alone fight. She also said that Knight Carnelian was training her in Kendo, suggested I should look into Kyudo as well. "

" Well, from what I remember Sailor Mars was generally an archer so that advice does make sense. " Luna reluctantly admits though now she was concerned about the fact that something had happened while Sailor Moon was growing up that made it hard for her to fight for herself. " I need to see about awakening another senshi if the youma are getting too hard for you to handle. "

" Have you found any of the others? " Rei asks the feline.

Fuyuki:

Gilgamesh of Uruk frowns thoughtfully, he had felt that wave of power, which had delayed the starting of the Grail Wars for a few more years, the Fifth Grail War would have started up very soon if not for that. Of course, there was no way in hell he was going to say anything to that damned priest about this. If the priest hadn't noticed the wave of power then why should he tell the damned bastard about it?

Emiya Shirou rolls his shoulders as he waits outside the middle school for his girlfriend, it had been two weeks since they'd had to go save Sailor Mars. Sakura would come over every day to train with her Kaleido Stick and use the room he'd given her as her workshop. Hisa was only assertive with him for the moment because she knew she could trust him implicitly. The insecure girl that had hidden her insecurities behind a happy mask was finally allowed out. She would train with Sakura and talk about general stuff with the purple haired teen, but trust...her parents had fucked her over good when it came to that. Why she decided to trust him so thoroughly he still didn't understand fully. Sure, he'd picked up on her nonverbal cues quickly, hadn't expected her to be a scholastic genius, although he had called her out on her bullshit as well. Shirou himself had been the one to break her mask. One she'd gotten so used to putting up that even she had believed it.

It had pained him to break her mask, but he had to do it in order for her to heal properly. Her therapist had actually commended him for breaking her mask, that had made his job so much easier. Then again finding out he'd been the seventh therapist for the girl whom had refused to go near the first six might have something to do with that as well. Not only has Hisa not hidden behind him when meeting her current therapist Shirou himself had been relaxed around the guy. One thing old man Raiga had learned was that Shirou was a very good judge of character while Hisa being an empath would react differently to different people. At that moment Hisa emerges from the school, eyes downcast. Shirou straightens at this, something that resonated with one of her bigger insecurities must have happened.

He walks forward to meet her, " Hisa-chan, what happened? "

Forest green eyes continue to look at the ground and the redhead frowns at this, who the hell had messed with his girlfriend anyhow. " Ah, Emiya-kun, perhaps you can help her get her grades up to an acceptable level. "

Shirou's golden brown eyes bore into Watanabe-sensei's, " You are an idiot, Watanabe-sensei. Hisa-chan has several documented learning disabilities. "

Watanabe-sensei takes a step back from the intensity of the seventeen year old's glare while Hisa finally looks up, smiling at the fact that Shirou was defending her. He pulls his right arm away from his body in silent invitation. One Hisa took him up on immediately, " I will be informing her therapist of this incident as well, Watanabe-sensei. "

The middle school principal had been informed by one of the other teachers about the mini-confrontation going down on school grounds. The fact that one of their model graduate students was taking a teacher to task, said student being Emiya Shirou, that got the principal moving immediately. Everyone knew after the third month of Shirou dating Fujimura Hisa that he did not tolerate anyone messing with his girlfriend in any way, shape, or form. " If she wouldn't be so lazy then maybe, even with her disabilities, she could be doing better in school. " is the retort.

If not for having Hisa cradled against his right side Shirou would have already decked the bastard. " Hisa-chan is not lazy! " Shirou fires back, his left hand tightening around his school bag's handle. He was just grateful archery practice was before school and not after, and that the team captain understood why he walked his girlfriend to school first.

The principal had arrived in time to hear Shirou's exclamation and winces. Watanabe-sensei was really lucky that Shirou had Hisa cradled against his side. He could see Shirou's twin bokken on his back, " Emiya-kun, can you explain what is going on to me, please, and then I will deal with Watanabe-sensei appropriately. "

Shirou and Hisa tell him everything, causing the principal to look at his teacher in dumbfounded disbelief, " Shirou-kun, just allow me to get my video camera, then you can teach this idiot a lesson. "

Shirou smirks evilly at this, " Let me call my guardian so she can stand with Hisa-chan. I am going to enjoy this. "

Watanabe-sensei shudders at how Shirou had emphasized enjoy. He was in for a world of pain very shortly. While Shirou is on the phone to Taiga, Hisa relaxes into him. Once he hangs up he looks at her, " You gonna be alright hanging out with Fuji-nee while I teach this bastard to leave you alone? "

Hisa meets his eyes, " I'll be fine, Shi-kun. Taiga-itoko is more likely to have a bokken with her to punish anyone stupid enough to mess with either one of us. "

Shirou smirks at this statement, " True, Fuji-nee won't tolerate anyone verbally bullying you, will she? "

Juuban:

Hino Rei stretches out thoroughly once she arrives at the Kyudo studio she had chosen to learn at. She was really enjoying her lessons and was grateful there had been a brief lull in youma activity. Luna had found and awakened Sailor Saturn whom she'd had to purify due to her being possessed. Tomoe Hotaru was taking lessons on how to wield polearms since she happened to have a glaive as her weapon. Rei liked the fact that she was no longer the only senshi in Juuban. It was pretty obvious that Knight Carnelian, Kaleidogirl Morganite, and Sailor Moon were not Juuban natives. They teleported away, indicating that they must live a fair distance away from Juuban. Though that may just be what they wanted her to think as well, it could go either way with that.

In another part of Juuban Chiba Mamoru is looking at all the jewels he had stolen in order to try and find the jewel the princess in his dreams was asking for to no avail at the moment. Were Hisa to find out about these dreams she'd be properly horrified as Mamoru was already in college while Shirou was still in High School. No way in hell would she even consider marrying Endymion's reincarnation. She had hated him in their last life, why would she go near him in this one?! He runs his hand through his short raven hair in frustration. How the hell was he supposed to find this crystal or the princess that was asking him to find it?

Osaka Naru looks through her mail and smiles when she finds the one with the Fuyuki return address. Sure, it bugged her that she never got to see her best friend in person, but at the same time she was glad her best friend was finally getting the help she really needed. Fujimura Raiga had agreed to forward any gifts she sent her best friend to her. Finding out that the Tsukinos had literally been speeding when they shoved her out of the vehicle pissed her off. She knew Furuhata Motoki was also pissed about what had happened. The older blonde did send letters and other things to Usagi as well. It let her know that they hadn't forgotten her, and that they understood why she had completely abandoned her old life as well.

Time Gates:

Sailor Pluto observes the last image of the future the Gates had given her, highly intrigued. The raven haired woman being held by the redheaded man had to be the hime, so what the hell had happened to cause such a deviation in this dimension. She looks through the past and her garnet colored eyes widen in horror when she sees the hime's second family shove her out of a speeding vehicle. She watches as the hime drags herself to her feet, eyes barely open, as she walks forward, towards the only source of light she could see. She sees the hime collapse on the porch of Emiya Shirou's home. Shirou was a highly interesting magus due to the fact he had an honest to Kami reality marble in his soul, not to mention what his element and origin happened to be as well.

She watches how Shirou breaks her hime's happy and sunny mask. Watches as the pair grow closer until Shirou actually notices a girl! She had seen several of his counterparts not notice the fact that Matou Sakura fell in love with him, that the Tsundere Magus also was attracted to him as well. All told she would not do anything to break her hime and Shirou apart. When she was with Shirou the hime was actually happy, even if she was far too submissive to be good. Then she sees how the Hime awakens, by saving Shirou and not giving one damn about herself. Her power awakening healed her somewhat, making her slightly more assertive with Shirou, though that was about the only change to her true personality. Her hime being so insecure pissed the temporal/spatial senshi off like nothing else ever had. The fact that she was now viewing alternate realities while seeing the same thing, that damned mask made her realize that the Tsukino family was probably not an appropriate family to raise the hime to begin with. She had never stopped to think about how getting locked out of her home so she could study would affect her hime. That was borderline if not outright abusive on Ikuko's part.

Fuyuki:

Taiga is smirking as she escorts Shirou and Hisa home. Watching Shirou put the bastard in his place had been quite satisfying though she hadn't even begun to suspect that Shirou had such a vindictive streak in him. Shirou hand hit every point guaranteed to make the poor bastard feel the most pain, Shirou was a Three Ninjas fan, enough said on that. He memorized the points that lit up the eyes on the training dummy. That should have clued Taiga in to the fact that Shirou had a hidden vindictive side to him as he had been smirking while watching that part over and over until he could hit those spots without fail in unarmed or armed combat. The principal had promised to send a copy of the video to Shirou's e-mail account so he could watch himself put the bastard in his place. Shirou had smiled and thanked his former principal for his thoughtfulness.

Hisa was pulled up against Shirou's right side, her left arm wrapped around his waist, as they head for home. Sakura had agreed to do the grocery shopping on her way home from school for the Emiya household since Hisa needed a few feminine things. Even Shirou hesitated to buy that stuff for his girlfriend unless she was in dire need and he couldn't send Taiga to go get it. Hisa refused to go shopping alone, so even when they did go grocery shopping, he'd still end up buying the stuff even though she would pick it out. The women cashiers loved him for the fact he would buy certain items his girlfriend needed.

" Hisa-chan, you coming to my next competition? " Shirou asks her.

He interprets the look she sends him correctly, " Don't worry, I'll be having words with Shinji so he leaves you alone. If he doesn't, well, I'm sure Fuji-nee would let you sit with her. "

Taiga snickers, " Hisa, just come sit with me from the get go. The entire team is well used to you sitting with me anyhow since Shirou is so protective of you. I have to admit it was rather funny when he hit Shinji with that blunted arrow right in the groin. "

" He shouldn't have tried to cop a feel from Hisa-chan. " Shirou says plainly. The rest of the males on the archery team got that message loud and clear after Shirou fired that blunted arrow into Shinji's nuts on a ricochet shot. The girls had all cheered for him when he did that, he had also seen Sakura's look of vindictive pleasure when he did that. After hearing what she had endured in the Matou home before Hisa's awakening had killed Zouken he fully understood and was not above kicking Shinji's ass if the fool pissed him off by going after Hisa or Sakura. Sakura was his student in the Culinary Arts while Hisa was his girlfriend. Shirou was not going to tolerate any other guy trying to feel her up. He'd deck any idiot trying to feel Sakura up on principles if the purple haired girl didn't do so herself. Though he had nearly laughed himself sick when Sakura told him how she had torn into Rin for being such a shitty older sister and not even attempting to put that bastard Shinji in his place at school.

Shirou was so going to enjoy putting that bastard in his place once he realized that with Zouken dead he would no longer have any kind of protection. Had he not met Hisa Shirou would still be friends with the ass. Instead meeting Hisa and hours of therapy had opened his eyes up to the fact that Shinji was a toxic kind of friend, he was better off without him. Issei on the other hand was the good kind of friend to have though Shirou really needed some more male friends. It was about at that time when his new pendant, Magical Carnelian in resting form started to vibrate against his chest. Thankfully Taiga would break off to head to her own home soon enough, which meant Hisa, Sakura, and himself would be able to slip off to deal with the current youma headache.

Juuban:

Tomoe Hotaru, Sailor Saturn, erects her Silence Wall once more to protect herself and Mars as the fire senshi preps her attack. The youma bats the fire attack away like it was nothing, causing Sailor Mars to curse long and loud. The civilians had long since evacuated from the area, which meant there was only collateral damage to worry about. The senshi split, Saturn heading straight for the youma, twirling her glaive above her head before bringing it down when her instincts clamor at her. The youma leaps into the air and somersaults away even as the glaive impacts the ground, leaving a crater five feet in diameter. Mars sends off another burst of flame towards the youma if only to keep it contained since she had yet to make enough sacred arrows for a quiver, and store them in her subspace pocket along with a bow as well. Her grandpa was pleased she was learning how to make the arrows since he had despaired of her ever learning more than the mere basics.

At that very moment two arcs of red energy slam into the youma while a beam of purple light smacks into it from above, announcing the arrival of Kaleidogirl Morganite and Knight Carnelian. Moon was also present, behind Knight Carnelian, looking uneasy, " Moon, you sure you can handle being in Juuban again? " Knight Carnelian asks her.

" Hai, it seems Saturn has been awakened. " Moon nods towards the senshi with purple and dark red as her colors.

" I did notice there was someone new present, I'm guessing fire is doing jack shit for this particular pain in the ass, right? " Knight Carnelian asks Sailor Mars.

The fire senshi sighs, " You're right and I don't have enough spiritual power to use my talismans on this youma. She burns through them too fast. A sacred arrow might work but I haven't made enough of them consistently to fill a quiver and destroy her ass that way. "

Morganite was smirking evilly even as she fires off a Finn Shot at the youma. Knight Carnelian really looks at Moon, he really didn't want her going catatonic on him again. " Go, help Morganite, Carnelian. "

Knight Carnelian nods even as Moon joins her fellow senshi, " Hello, Sailor Moon, I am Luna, here to guide the senshi on their path to becoming the warriors they are meant to be. "

The princess part of Sailor Moon is rolling her eyes at this statement. Luna was still just as damned stuffy as ever. " Knight Carnelian can handle my training quite well, thank you. "

" I'm afraid I must insist that I know where you live so I can contact you or visit if necessary, Sailor Moon. " Luna states primly, " Also, what is with you and Knight Carnelian anyhow. No senshi is to have romantic entanglements at this age, it is highly improper. "

All three senshi present groan, " Not a Ares/Hades/Eris damned romance blocker! "

Morganite's head whips around to look at the feline in undisguised horror, " Oh hell no, not an Amaterasu be cursed romance blocker. You will never find out where Moon lives now, you priss of a feline! "

Knight Carnelian had the concept explained to him, the romance blocker was the female equivalent of a cock blocker. Now cock blockers and romance blockers could be any gender, it was just females hated romance blockers the same as males despised cock blockers. They were vile, evil, loathsome beings whose existence should never have been conceived of. Moon sends her tiara after the youma when it goes after Morganite due to her inattention at the mere thought that she was near a romance blocker. The youma charges after Moon, causing the senshi to leap up into the air, only the youma follows her, getting above her just enough to hit her with an aerial spin kick that slams into her diaphragm. Moon is sent slamming back into the ground, before Carnelian or any of the others can move a senshi with a silver bodice, gold skirt and sailor collar, aqua blue bows, the front bow has a golden star shaped gem in the center of it, a golden starlight style tiara, more of a circlet really with a five pointed star in the center of it, silver wrist length gloves with three golden ruffles type things edging them, similar to the gloves of the three senshi present, a golden choker with an aqua blue star in the center of it, gold star earrings, and gold boots similar in style to Sailor Uranus' were she active, darts in front of Sailor Moon, summoning something that a gaming otaku like Sailor Moon recognizes immediately to her hand, Roxas' Keyblade, Oathkeeper.

" Oathkeeper's Light! "

The blast of light slams into the youma and Knight Carnelian darts forward, slashing the youma from behind even as Saturn also takes advantage to slash the youma horizontally while Knight Carnelian's slashes had been diagonal. The youma disintegrates into dust instantly. Luna looks at the new senshi, " Which senshi are you anyhow? "

" I am Sailor Oathkeeper, Knight Carnelian, we need to talk some time soon, I can help you find out part of your past that you lost when you were seven. I'll be waiting for you in Riverside park. "

Knight Carnelian stares at where Sailor Oathkeeper had been before he goes over to Sailor Moon, laying her head in his lap. Saturn kneels beside her fellow senshi and princess, Saturn remembered more than most, in order to help heal her. Moon lets out an audible sigh of relief when she can feel her ribs get healed, damn youma had damaged them, " Arigato, Saturn. "

" Knight Carnelian, take care of her for me, will you. " Saturn gives him a significant look that he understands, she knew the truth about his girlfriend while the feline and Mars did not.

" I'll take care of her to the best of my ability. Morganite, let's go. " Carnelian calls out as he swings Moon up into a princess carry before giving her a light kiss even as he teleports them off. If he could give her good memories associated with Juuban then she might not have as many catatonic episodes.

Fuyuki, Riverside Park:

Omoiyari Chikai, preferring to be called Kaia run a hand through her purple hair. She knew her older half-brother remembered nothing from before the fire. At least this way she could give him back some blood family, even if their shared father happened to be dead. Her pink eyes take in the area around her while she waits for him. She knew he'd take care of the Hime first since Juuban held barely any good memories for her. She stood out somewhat wearing an aqua blue t-shirt, gold biker jacket, pale grey jeans, aqua blue sneakers with gold laces, a gold Kingdom Hearts charm necklace, and an aqua blue wrist band with the Nobody symbol on it around her left wrist. She had made sure to bring the evidence with her if only to forestall him asking for the DNA tests, he'd probably want new ones done to make sure the results hadn't been faked. She wouldn't blame him for that. Some of his adoptive father's paranoia had to rub off on him at some point.

Seeing the mop of spiky red hair approaching her Kaia stands up straighter, " What do you know about my family? "

" I can tell you that your father's name was Tanaka Yoru, I don't know anything about your mother. I can also tell you that I'm your half-sister through your father. I am willing to undergo DNA testing to prove this as well. My name is Omoiyari Chikai though I prefer Kaia. " she tells him flatly.

" Oddly enough finding out that my father cheated on my mother doesn't bug me. I would like the DNA testing done though. My girlfriend lives with me, and I am not about to allow anyone near her without triple checking who they are along with a rather extensive background check. " Shirou says blandly.

" I figured some of your adoptive father's paranoia had rubbed off on you. " Kaia says.

Shirou nods at this, " Let's go visit old man Raiga, he can get the DNA testing done properly for us since I'm dating his adoptive granddaughter. "

While she personally didn't have anything against the yakuza she hadn't known the Hime was his adoptive granddaughter, " How is the Hime, Emiya-san? "

" Doing better than she was the last time we helped out. Juuban does not hold any good memories for her. If you are my sister then I will need to key you into the bounded fields I have set up as a security system, though I did install a state of the art one I got from Raiga as well seeing as how he adopted my girlfriend with permission from her paternal grandmother whom happens to be the head of the Albarn demon hunting line. " Shirou says, shrugging.

Kaia's jaw drops, " She's the heiress to the Albarn demon hunting line? "

" She is, but after I broke her mask her true self came out. She's very insecure and won't defend herself, though not even she was expecting what happened earlier. Thank you, for saving her. " Shirou states.

Kaia winces, no wonder they weren't giving out their civilian identities to the senshi. Luna would have the hime browbeaten in minutes. " Never leave her alone with Luna. "

Shirou nods at this, understanding why she was telling him that, " I guess we'd better go see Taiga about that DNA test, huh? "
