Sakura Matou was a private person.
She liked to keep her life to herself, prefering to exist in the background rather than be the center of attention, even if recently she was getting more and more attention by others.
To the Archery Club, she was Emiya's Succesor, as according to rumors he took her as his apprentice after he left the Club.
To her classmates, she was the little sister of Shinji "The Playboy" Matou, with above average grades and well mannered, she was quite popular between the youngest members of her classroom.
But sometimes, as good as your life can currently be, the past can still haunt you.
Every now and then, on the loneliest, coldest nights of the month, she dreams. She dreams of the family that left her behind, of the pit where she spent entire days and nights, of the thing that forced her to "train" her Magecraft.
And she rages.
She feels pain, anger, fury, rage, hatred, spite.
But when she wakes up, she locks it all down under a facade of meekness.
That is her true self, the one she keeps under careful watch.
That hideous thing is-
"BB Channel!"
That hideous thing is right in front of her.
Sakura Matou looked at the thing.
The thing looked back.
And one of them blinked.
Rider looked at the scene in front of her silently, before turning her head to look at their companions.
Saber was looking around, ready to attack in case their enemy appeared.
Shirou was looking anywhere except to the front.
The silence in the area was broken by the giggles of the creature.
"What's wrong, Sakura-chan? Aren't you excited to meet your cute, amicable and lovely assistant BB-chan?~
"Wha-"
"I know you must be shocked right now! Not everyone has the pleasure of meeting the great me you know!"
Sakura was indeed shocked, but for different reasons.
The thing in front of her was an exact copy of herself, dressed in a skimpy white leotard covered by a black overcoat, with the same red ribbon in her head.
Sakura was shocked, embarassed, and most importantly, jealous.
How did that thing get a coat before her? Why did she look so cool? Where can she get one of those?
BB looked at Sakura's face closely, before a smirk made its way into her face. With a spring in her steps, she got closer and closer to the girl, before speaking quietly into her ear.
"You're thinking about how much you want to **** Senpai, aren't you?"
Sakura was startled by the comment, before becoming mortified and turning around to see if anyone else had heard it.
Sakura and Rider looked at each other, the Servant smiled gently.
She heard it, Sakura thought horrified.
The booming laughter of the thing forced her to look at the front again.
"You should've seen your face! Oh my god it was priceless!" The thing mocked her.
This wasn't the first time someone laughed at her right in her face, she remembered those kids years ago making fun of her hair, right before a young red headed kid appeared and tried to fight them.
Some of the third year girls in school tried to take her Senpai-made lunch once, before the Student Council President appeared and threatened the girls with a written report to the Principal.
Even back then, she didn't care enough to get mad and grace them with an answer to their provocations, if there was any worthwhile teaching that came from that Worm was to never let your enemies get what they wanted.
But now, she felt strangely angry at her doppelganger, and was about to reply until Saber spoke.
"Enemy incoming! From the forest!"
The group looked at the forest warily, Shirou moved slowly until he was closer to Sakura.
"I think this might be it. Are you ready?" His tone was serious, his belt already on his waist, he held the Livegun in his hand.
Sakura nodded silently, the belt she had put on a few minutes ago before the thing appeared had a small strap at the side, holding her own Vistamp.
Taking out the Stamp, she pressed the button.
"COBRA!"
BB smiled.
From the forest, a creature appeared. It was vaguely human, with yellow, green and red feathers covering parts of its body, with a beak instead of a mouth, the monster was avian in nature.
The thing looked around for a few moments, before focusing on them and moving slowly towards their general direction before stopping, and moving to a different direction.
"It can't see us?" Sakura questioned.
"Maybe it's not a nocturnal bird?" Shirou answered.
"Whatever kind it might be, do not lower your guard Sakura" Saber's tone was serious but soft, knowing that this was the girl's first time in a fight.
Rider was about to give her own words of advice, but the thing spoke before she could.
"Come on Sakura-chan! Let's give it our all!~" BB jumped, before disappearing into pink particles.
Sakura looked at the place where her doppelganger stood for a full second, before that same voice spoke again, resonating through her being.
Sakura took a Deep Breath, before sliding the Stamp into the belt.
It's time.
"HENSHIN!"
"
LIBERA UP!"
"GOING MY WAY!
"JEANNE!"
From the belt, a blue cobra emerged and dissolved into blue particles that surrounded her body, forming a black undersuit. Yellow armor pieces covered her head, legs and arms, leaving her chest uncovered, where an emblem formed in the form of a cobra.
"Allrighty then! Leave the support to me~!" BB's voice resonated inside the helmet.
Sakura took a moment to admire the armor she was wearing, it felt like using a spandex, but the armor around her arms felt heavy.
According to the small manual that came with the Belt, the Cobra Stamp was designed with hand to hand combat in mind with a few medium distance options, as opposed to Live being specialized in medium to long distance fights.
The Spirit had taken notice of its opponent, slowly moving towards the new Rider's direction.
"Sakura" Shirou spoke "We'll be back here, but if you need assistance i will step in, okay?"
Sakura nodded, making her way towards her opponent.
~~Line Break brought to you by the BB Channel~~
The fight ended quicker than expected, much to George's disappointment.
The Spirit was nearly blind, relying on his superior speed to stay outside of her punches, but the Bow weapon provided by BB allowed her to pin down her opponent.
Good news, the Jeanne System worked. Bad news, the Ecology Department of the city was not going to be happy.
To be fair, she didn't expect the bird to suddently start spewing flames at her.
And now they were on their way back home, the cold breeze blowing past them as they ran away before the fire deparment came to the scene.
The streets were empty, and a comfortable silence surrounded the group, ocassionally broken by Saber, who wondered what they will have for breakfast.
Sakura noted, slightly jealous, how close Saber and Senpai seemed now.
BB spoke again, her voice resonating inside her head.
"OoooohhhJealous, are we? How cute!"
Sakura's eye twitched.
"You know, maybe if you tried hard enough YOU could be in her place right now~ But you choose to stay silent!" BB's tone went from playful to angry.
"Are you going to let that cutting board steal your man? Are you?! Are you going to let her just walk into your territory and take what is yours?!"
Senpai is not my man!.
"NOT WITH THAT ATTITUDE!"Sakura was starting to regret her decisions.
~~Line Break brought to you by Love Doctor BB-chan~~
Shirou didn't like feeling dirty.
Ironic, coming from someone who spent so many hours repairing motorcycles for the Yakuza and fixing appliances in school, but he just didn't like feeling the oil stick to his hands once he finished his job.
He especially hated the feeling of sweat, it made him feel like dirt clung into every part of his body.
Which is why he ofter preferred to take a shower, rather than use his bathtub. It simply felt better to him.
A hot shower after a long day or a specially hard fight, followed by a cup of hot tea made felt heavenly.
He was drying his hair witha towel when something in the mirror catched his attention.
His reflection wasn't moving.
If this happened to any other person, they would most likely scream horrified at the supernatural event happening in front of them.
But Shirou was not a normal person.
Shirou looked at his reflection.
The reflection looked at him.
One of them blinked.
Hello everyone, Enhance here, currently in hiding from the CIA and the INTERPOL after commiting multiple instances of fraud in Poland alongside my partner in crime, Neco Arc.
How's your month going? Anything fun happening? Let me tell you this, an air conditioner failling on your hand is not fun at all.
At least they gave me a few days off with pay.
So yeah, sorry for taking so long, but accidents do be unexpected huh.
Being honest, i wanted to cut off Sakura's transformation in the middle, make a gag out of it, but it felt unnecesarily cruel and too crack-ish for a special moment.
A reviewer mentioned a mini shadow plushie as the equivalent for Lovekov, and while that sounds fucking adorable i couldn't help myself and changed it to BB.
Because why not.
Next chapter should be up next monday, unless something goes wrong AGAIN and i break my other hand. Wouldn't that be funny haha.
Now, i'm not gonna say it's guaranteed BUT…
You guys think Ayako would like Spiderman?
Wink wink, nudge nudge.
Have a good week, and remember:
Your crimes are not easily forgotten, i am coming for you.
