Well at least I'm not dead. Sorry for the long wait, but with school and work (yes I'm working now), I completely have fallen behind on this story. On an upside, I went over my old work that I had for this chapter and revised it to make it even better. Enjoy? THE REFERENCES ARE TOO DAMN HIGH IN THIS CHAPTER! Note there is a time skip in this one.
"You know, they always say that we're different, but in all honestly, we're more alike than they could ever imagine." Archer said, staring at the person he considered to be the dumbest person alive, Shirou Emiya. "So, does that mean we're related?" He said, looking at Archer in confusion. "If that helps you understand it than yes." He mumbled, staring deeply into Shirou's eyes. "Okay, I'm out, that was all I wanted to say!" Cried Archer as he vanished. Shirou gasp, "he can turn INVISIBLE!?" Archer, in spirit form, let out a sigh and facepalm as he left to return to Rin's mansion. "I swear, I would kill him if Rin didn't use that command seal on me! And if it wasn't SO DAMN COLD OUT HERE!"
Over at the Fuyuki town square, numerous people were setting up the decorations and stands for what looked like a festival. In one of the back alleyways, stood Kotomine, Gilgamesh, and Caren, watching what everyone was setting up. "shit, that one's taken." Moaned Caren as she saw a cupcake seller bring out piles of cupcakes for his stand. Kotomine glared at the curry vendor, and sighed in disappointment. "If I was a ramen chef, I wouldn't serve such wasteful curry." Gilgamesh quickly snorted, making remarks under his breath. "Father, why don't we do a bake sale, like I already asked?" Kotomine shrugged, and replied coldly, "maybe if you would REJOICE WITH ME MORE, then we could." Gilgamesh snapped out of his annoyed state and screamed, "AWW YEAH, KIREI JUST SAID HIS CATCHPHRASE!" Both Caren and Kotomine quickly covered his mouth to avoid detection from the other vendors. "Don't make me serve you MAPO TOFU again!" Cried the priest as he continued to hold Gilgamesh up by his right hand. "Anyways...so about that bake sale?"
"We could put mapo tofu in the baked goods." Caren remarked, showing a grin on her face just as Kirei would.
"You know, if you weren't my daughter, I'd consider you a curse on Fuyuki. But, I'd still consider that to be true nonetheless."
Before they could react, they heard a familiar voice coming from the street. "Hey Beserker, look at those idiots thinking they're all sneaky-like. Kill them for me." Ilya quickly moved to the side as Beserker rammed head first towards the alley.
"Caren?" Kotomine asked in a calm voice, while still holding onto Gilgamesh's face.
"Yes Father?" She replied, in a voice much like his. Kotomine's cold, stone face didn't budge, but merely let out a whisper. "We shouldn't overstay our welcome. Besides, we can just leave Gilgamesh here."
"Do it." Caren didn't need a second to decide on such an important matter. Both her and Kotomine ran away, leaving Gilgamesh to be dragged away by the giant brute. "DAMN YOU CAREN! IF YOU'RE FATHER WASN'T MY MASTER, I'D KILL YOU BOTH! Also, anyone else notice that it's really cold?" Before anyone could answer, they watched in horror as Berserker crushed him against the ground multiple times, Hulk style.
"I JUST SAID THAT! DAMN FAKER!" Cried Archer from a mile away.
"Did you hear that, Sakura?" Rider stood watching dust rise up from the city through Sakura's bedroom window.
"Ignore them, they shouldn't be noticed." She replied, in a sinister voice.
Lancer sat on a bench, right beside him, sat the crazy witch Caster. "So let me get this straight, you want me to break into Gilgamesh's room, steal his Saber dolls, and sell them to you?"
"Oh look, you can hear. Congrats." She said in an evil, yet soft voice
"Come now Caster, I got so many Saber dolls."
"How many?"
"Saber dolls for day...Z." He said, in a confident yet mocking voice.
"Day...Z?"
"That is true facts." He replied, like he didn't care about anything. She just stared at him for a minute.
two minutes...
five minutes...
"But in all seriousness, I'm not touching that room. Smells like dead fish and a lust for Saber." He finally answered, hearing the yelling of Archer and the death screams of Berseker. "Yeah, I'll just go ask that priest." She replied, vanishing into thin air.
"You do that."
flashback time:
"Shirou." Cried the voice of a withered man. "What is it, Kiritsugu?" He asked, looking up at his father. "When you become a certain age, you will understand what it means to be a man."
"When will that be?" He asked, in a curious voice.
"Shh." Kiritsugu replied.
"But..."
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
Shirou stared at his father, in complete confusion, as always. not long after, Kiritsugu threw money at Shirou's face.
"Go get me another pack of cigarettes."
Author's notes: A very short chapter, I know! This has been done for awhile, but with work & classes, I've had very little time to get on here. Another reason for the short chapter is because I'm working on another story, one I think is turning out quite nicely so far. Look forward to that sometime in the near future! (I hope)
Forgive me!
