Shirou managed to fall asleep, waking up every hour sweating and having to take a shower. It was during one of these times when they decided to show up. He had just gotten back to the small bed in his shed when a small shuffling sound caught his attention. Listening closely, he was able to make out the faint sounds of shifting feet behind him. Grabbing the closest thing to him, which happened to be a crowbar, he spun around and caught the first guy to the side of the head.

"Resisting will be of no use, Shirou" A voice said from behind. Shirou spun around once more, not at all surprised to see Nitmasu standing behind him. "Why are you here?" Nitmasu shrugged. His calm expression didn't give Shirou a relaxing impression. Instead, Shirou was on guard, waiting for Nitmasu to attack. The attack never came. Instead two of his henchmen grabbed him from behind and held a knife to his throat.

Struggling, Shirou managed to dislodge the knife from his neck and flip the other man over his back. The man hit the ground with a thud, the only sound coming from him a small whine. More men came at him and he knocked them all out, one by one, until the last of the henchmen went to his knees and pleaded for mercy. Nitmasu, momentarily forgotten, went up behind Shirou as the distraction went on and stabbed Shirou's side, careful to not damage any organs.

Everything went black for Shirou. He sank to the ground and the last henchman lifted him up and threw Shirou over his shoulder. The man grunted at Shirou's weight, staggering slightly. Nitmasu walked through the doors of the shed and the two went back to their underground area. Shirou was in chains when he woke up. Startled, he pressed his back against the wall, grunting in pain as he noticed the bandage. A silent watcher smiled and walked up to him. "Having fun yet, Emiya?" Looking up, Shirou was startled to see one of the school bullies in front of him. Studying his schoolmate, he noticed that nothing had changed. Then he saw the eyes. Those eyes... They're not normal. What he didn't know was that he was thinking the same thing as Lili when she first saw the bully's eyes. That's when he realized that he had been inhabited by one of Nitmasu's Habitts.

Lili woke up in a panic, throwing off the blankets and throwing open the front door. Something was wrong with Shirou, she knew it. Hearing the racket, Kumi woke up and saw Lili bursting through the front door. Waking up Madi, they rushed out after her. They followed Lili to Shirou's house and into his backyard. She stopped behind a bush and looked towards the shed. They came up behind her and tapped her shoulder. "What's wrong?" Kumi asked, clearly frightened at Lili's behavior. Lili pointed to the shed and motioned for them to stay hidden.

The three watchers heard faint voices, then a solid smack, followed by a bunch more. Soon it was all over and Nitmasu opened the shed door. One of his henchmen followed, Shirou's unconscious body slung over his shoulder. The image of Shirou in chains came back to Lili's head once more. Once they were gone, Madi was the first to speak. "What is going on? Where is Nitmasu taking him?" Kumi shrugged and looked at Lili. "Nitmasu wants the necklace and he's going to need me to get it." The two nodded and Lili kept talking. "They're obviously going to take him where they took me." Kumi stepped out of her path. "Lead the way."

Nitmasu smiled as his spy informed him that the three girls were coming. He would have a force of men ready when they came. Then, he would finally get the Necklace Elements and imprison them all. He planned on ruling the world. But, without the Necklace Elements, he couldn't achieve that goal.

The one that has the Necklace Elements will receive it's power. It lets the user control the four elements. Once he has control of the elements, he would be unstoppable. And that is what was going through Shirou's mind right now. The bully had left an hour ago, leaving Shiruo to his thoughts, and his chains. Once they had Lili, the Necklace Elements would be theirs for the taking. He pushed the thought out. Lili was very powerful, though she didn't know it yet, he could sense it.

Lili led the way through the twisting allies, stopping in front of the trashcan they had used to cover the trapdoor and moved left. Sure enough, there was the trapdoor. As the three girls made their way to the room, the other bully was busy going through their things. When he couldn't find what he was looking for, he assumed that Lili still had it with her and was going to deliver it to his master personally. But that was far from Lili's mind at the moment.

They burst through the door and Lili immediately turned towards Shirou. Seeing him in the same chains as the image in her mind that had plagued her for so long made her hesitated. Is this what that picture meant? Lili gave herself no time to answer her own question, pushing herself to get to Shirou before anyone else could. But she was too late. Nitmasu had gotten to him before her and was now holding a knife to Shirou's throat. "Stop now, or would you like to see the inside of his neck?" Defeated, Lili went from a sprint to a dead stop, right in front of Nitmasu, head hanging.

"They say that if the Necklace Elements touches it's chosen spot, then it will merge with the holder's soul. Now, would you mind giving it to me? I'll gladly give back your friend here." Nitmasu gestured to Shirou as he spoke. She grabbed a rock from the ground and held it in her hand, above her head ready to use it as a weapon. All of a sudden, she was thrown at the wall, the rock falling from her grip. Her left hand was now pinned to the wall, a sword that looked like a tuning fork holding it in place.

Archer let his arm fall. His job was done for the moment. Kumi was angry, and, sensing her master's anger, Rider rushed to Kumi's side, stopping her before she did anything she would regret. Madi on the other hand, had no servant to stop her. She rushed forward and kicked Archer in the stomach. Unprepared, Archer staggered back a few paces before regaining balance. A fire of anger shone in his eyes. Madi didn't care about how much he hated her at the moment, rushing back to Kumi and Rider, revenge done.

The Necklace Elements [ironically] was wrapped around Lili's left wrist [even though she was right handed] which happened to be the chosen spot. A small glow shone through her sleeve, catching everyone's eyes. Nitmasu was the first to realize what was happening. The Necklace Elements was merging with Lili, and, if he didn't stop the merging now, his dream would never come true. He removed the knife from Shiruo's throat and started towards Lili.

He had walked two steps before a hand on his ankle stopped him. Looking down, he saw that Shiruo had grabbed his ankle and held it in an iron grip. Struggling, he looked up just in time to see the merging come to an end. It was complete. Shiruo let go of his ankle and dropped to the floor, weak and almost dead from the beatings that they gave him just before the girls arrived. Lili went limp, her mind no longer in the room.
