Unexpected Revelations

"TRACE ON!"

From Rukia perceptive Shirou seem have been knocked out from that attack by the hollow as his body lays crashed to wall. All sudden his able stand up again and this time with neon green circuit lines run threw out his entire body? All converging on to his palms as sounds electric sparks begin to be heard and strong wind blowing off him into the surroundings street. Those neon green sparks transform into twin short swords appear in his hands one had black color and other is white.

"Amazing!?"

She looks at the newly created weapons. Thought ("is he also a soul reaper? Is that his zanpakuto he'd awaken I don't know what else there is to call those two short swords? To think that there a another human besides Ichigo able gain power threw in countering a hollow is surprising?! It seems us soul reapers have truly underestimated humans capabilities.")

Shirou steps forward besides Rukia as hollow points its large and sharper finger nails points at the two. Follow by Shirou stating "I wont let you hurt her anymore because that's what a hero of justice does saves people!"

The hollow screams "ROOOAAAARRRR!"

He running at the hollow full speed at giant hollow with its right hand slashes down to the ground. Shirou with the momentum quickly slides underneath the hollow towards its legs. Making an X with his arms cross his chest the two short swords instantly slices off both limbs at same time. Leaving Hollow fall head first to the ground and him to finish sliding on hard street road and behind the damn monster. Got up to find a back hand swipe coming towards him and this time cut off by white short sword.

"A Ugh Puff, Puff, Puff...!"

Hard breathing starting to be heard by Rukia.

The rest Hollow's body quickly turns around on its knees and missing a hand ready to continue the battle and those short swords begin break apart piece by piece turning each one back into air.

He breaths quicker and harder "Puff, Puff,Puff,Puff, Puff..."

("No this can't be cant be my limit!")

The short swords completely fade back into air follow by "AGH UH!"

Pain not just his arms it felt like swords spring out of him from threw out his entire body. Forcing him to knee with one leg only realize the hollow closing in about chop him down company by those razor sharp teeth.

"Hay you ugly am not finish with you yet!"

Shirou looks up where sun is a human shadow appears over them.

"Ichigo!" Rukia states out loud as he stands on top a building wearing his soul reaper outfit and having zanpakuto over his shoulders. Jumps down with katana stabbing the hollow in the head vanishing into nothingness.

Shirou only thought ("wow that sword of his is special I like the sharpness of the blade. But, but I ... cant stand it other people risking their lives to save me. Feels wrong it should me finishing off that monster or hollow Rukia called it. Yet I really cant move my limbs again...")

Instantly falls to the ground completely knocked out but still breathing. The pendent rolls out his pocket and Ichigo of course looks down at Shirou then... Pick up Jem inside still a flower petal begin to change into a bronze gear?

"Rukia!"

"Ichigo, we need get him back to your dad's clinic. I'm sure his name is Shirou and he was battling the hollow until you were able arrive and finish off the hollow."

"Wait seriously? I know its just... I finally was able to catch up to you guys because that freaking hollow keep on playing tricks! I lost track of you though I guess it worked out in the end Rukia."

She smiles back "Yeah."

He looks down at Shirou body again states "so he's like me huh? "

Hear another voice "not exactly."

They both look around to find where that mysterious voice came from? Open up his hand find the pedant spoke out loud "To think that I would be connect to his disgusting fool's body. Damn you mage of flowers for allowing him that possibility because now I'm force to interact with him more then I would like too, not."

Both Rukia and Ichigo look at the pedant with confusion?

"Wait the pedant can talk now?"

"Yes and its all thanks that mage's magecraft that we're all in this predicament."

"Predicament, what do mean by that?" Ichigo asks follow by voice to only state.

"Shirou Emiya accepted an offer that has allow a gateway be open from throne of hero's to world of living. Order for heroic spirit to manifest inside his body which seem have fail at this current time do him being too weak handle it leaving me in this current state."

"Wait all this was because of Shirou?" As she also notices the pedant with gear inside it.

"Yes a by product of decision he'll soon come realize was mistake."

She follows up by asking "Why?"

"He and I are in opposition toward achieving the other own individual goal's. There no point in sugar coding it he'll slowly become strong enough start blend between demi-servant and pseudo-servant. When that happens Shirou Emiya will finally lose the motivation to continue strive for a world where nobody has to cry. And finally leave behind ideals he achieved like sword moves pass an old familiar sword planted recently into ground of cemetery graves toward another desert clean hill."

...?

Ichigo looks up to the sky quietly states "huh a world where nobody has to cry that does sound nice."

"It's all thanks unique relationship we have to each other in first place. That enabled the powerful magecraft casted on to pedant for it even work!"

Ichigo pick up Shirou body with his other arm notices the change in weather as more clouds coming over head.

"No point in continuing conversation here Shirou need get heal first before it begins to pour. Its best we make to my dads clinic now."

Pedant states "Yeah I agree best if Shirou is awake when I go into details on the throne of hero's, demi-servants, pseudo servants. For him be on same page as you soul reapers."

Ichigo asks "So I guessing we are not going wipe away his memories like with Chad or Orihime?"

"No, I want gather more information before we decide to weather or not make that decision Ichigo."

He see it again the place where he meet the red knight as wind blows past him there was endless swords planted on hills that reach to a never ending horizon. Except this time realizes swords he saw, begin to spring out of his entire arm consume long with rest the body then mind. Red Knight arrives into his view walks over only plant Shirou Emiya body like rest of these endless landscape of swords. Red Knight stops stare at him for moment with eyebrows quickly moving down on his face. Then finally turns his back on Shirou and walks to another hill planting another nameless sword. Looks up sky as large gears begin to form and appear alongside rest the sword landscape. States

"YET, THOSE HANDS WILL NEVER HOLD ANYTHING

UNLIMITED BLADEWORKS!"

"Ah huh?!"

Shirou wakes up immediately to find himself in hospital bed and his body all bandage up. A girl seems younger then him by couple years resides over the bed hads short light blonde hair with red hair clip on left side of her head.

Spoke in soft voice "your finely wake my brother brought you here order get treated for you're injuries. He's been waiting for you wake up order have conversation?"

He moves sit at the edge of clinic bed "you're brother?"

"Yeah Ichigo is my brother long with my sister Karin. You were in really bad shape when you came in Shirou is it?"

"Yes Shirou Emiya uh by the way does you're brother have orange hair?"

"I'm pretty sure he does."

Then puts a hand on his face "Sorry I just woke up from this weird dream with endless hills of swords and my memory little hazy at the moment."

"It's ok Shirou considering you were injury in all. To introduce myself Yuzu is my name."

She hands him a shirt to put on to cover his bandage chest then stands up in the process. "I went to find Ichigo cuz his friend Orihima was worried about him. So I offered to go look for him and I uh...

Image appears in his mind a hollow about attacking Rukia.

"huh?"

She states "Thats when you got hit by truck crossing one street neighborhoods where Ichigo was picking up textbook for his friend right?"

"Yup..."

He then moves his hand on to his chest along with arms and legs. thought (strange I'm fully heal somehow was do the pendent or the flower peals I'll talk to that claim the King of Knights wanted me to reach my dreams?)

She begins stretch her legs and he asks "By the way what were you doing before came in here? If you don't mind me asking Yuzu."

"Oh uh... I was first mopping the house floors like I usually do followed by me going check up on you. To see how you were doing and now about begin preparing dinner for rest the family."

States "I can certainly help you with that Yuzu."

She takes step back "You can!?"

"Yeah I know my way around the kitchen."

They both leave together toward another part the house.

Ichigo was in the middle talking to Kon and Rukia about the events that happen half a day go. Begin smelling something not sure what it was good is word he'll use. Only hear a knock on door Yuzu states "Foods ready Ichigo you can come down."

"That was awfully quick for Yuzu make dinner?"

"Maybe your sister has improved her cooking skills?"

"That might just be the case Rukia because lately I haven't had much time pay much attention to my family considering we constantly having fight a hollow that appears."

Kon the little stuffed animal "yeah like my sweet Rukia has said!"

As he tries to cuddle up to her leg only be met by kick to stuffed animal face to wall.

"OUCH why did you do that Rukia?!"

"Because you're too clingy Kon."

Ichigo gets up from floor goes and opens the door. "I'll be back and I will try to bring some food for you guys can eat something as well ok."

"Yeah me and Kon will hold down the fort until then."

Leaving the room walk down the hallway the good smell is getting stronger and stronger. As he goes down right angled staircase to find something or someone he didn't except?

"Shirou?! And why are you wearing Yuzu apron?!"

Shirou places plates down on the table. "Oh well Yuzu let me wear it. I kind thought since I'm the main one that's cooking and Yuzu helping it be appropriate to wear."

Karin who's reading the newspaper looks back at Ichigo. "I don't have problem with it."

At the same time Yuzu walks up to him with cheerful expression "wow Ichigo, I'm learning so much by Shirou cooking it's amazing!"

He finally looks down at the kitchen counter "Wait is that codfish was cooked into spicy Karachi mentaiko wasn't it!?"

She nods her head "Yes Shirou made it and I help provide the ingredients."

Ichigo instantly grabs on to the chair and sits down and quickly scooting in. Only hear another voice "AM home Karin, Yuzu, Ichigo."

He comes into the room slowly drops down grocery bags as Yuzu is wiping down the table. Then notices besides her Shirou who currently drying his hands on towel.

"Oh your that patient I saw earlier?"

Shirou looks up at man taller then himself black hair and beard. States "Yeah I feel lot better as of now."

"Well that's good and yet you seems so familiar I don't why? By any chance are you one my regular patients I see?"

Only for Shirou move his head slowly left to right and politely state "No this first time I stepped into this town and stay at this clinic."

Ichigo father scratches his beard "Huh? I guess am getting up there in age, mind helping me put these groceries in the fridge?"

"Uh yes Mr...?"

"Isshin Kurosaki my pleasure Shirou."

As Shirou helps Isshin load the fridge up with food like bread, eggs, tomatoes, chicken nuggets, cow meat. Yuzu finish cleaning finally sits down at the table alongside Karin who been reading these short articles on paranormal active that individuals have experiences in karakura town over the years. Its interesting and also addicting especially since with Don Kanoiji been hosting TV show called Casual Soul Realm Assault Trip. Which has been airing for some time now on one the local broadcasting channels.

Isshin hands him bag of apples be put on top shelf of fridge alongside the eggs. Asks "So tell me little bit about yourself Shirou?"

He moves the milk toward bottom part the fridge. "Mr. Kurosaki there isn't much to me other then me helping others and repairing their stuff. Like my new friend Issie who now student council president at Homurahara Academy back at Fuyuki City."

"Fuyuki... I've heard and saw photos the city with lot old western style mansions."

"Yeah, well I know that one or two my classmates who lives in those mansions."

Isshin hands a stick of butter to Shirou be place on side cadet the fridge.

"Interesting to have learned that. So your some kind of handy man?"

Shirou says with straight face "no more like school janitor that's what Shinji, Fuji-Nee and Ayako call me by when they ask for help."

After hearing that Isshin gives little chuckle. "Wow I certainly didn't expect your classmates name you with such a title?"

"It's part the reward for helping people at least that's how I see it as."

Isshin closes the fridge door then throwing grocery bags in trash bin. "Hahahaha! Most certainly anyways thanks for helping me fill up the fridge."

Shirou puts hand behind his neck and looks down to the wooden floor. "No, I was happy to help out. Mr. Kurosaki you can sit down alongside your kids now because I'm about bring over the food to the table."

"Are you sure after all your still our patient it be rude for me to let you handle this?"

He looks straight into Isshin eyes. "I insist, doing it myself because I want show my gratitude by treating all you with this food and is my way of saying thanking you for saving me."

"I can't change your mind on the matter so I've let you do your thing."

Isshin grab a chair sits next Yuzu and at the same time she lays a napkin on her in background of family gathering at table. Shirou who is still in the kitchen grabs a large tray of spicy Karachi Mentaiko walks over and places the tray of food in middle the table. Where he begins to serve each individual Kurosaki family member plate.

All four them say at same time "Thank you very much!"

Ichigo instantly takes bite with a fork as he tastes it images of his mother peers in his mind. "HMM taste like how mom use to make it!"

Isshin notices on his son's face genuine smile on being formed for first time since...

At same time he too starts dig in to the be described a burning flavor with spicy hot after taste that felt very satisfying. "Wow I'm impressed Shirou you actually mange made it like how my late wife Masaki use to cook."

Shirou closes his eyes and puts hand behind his head continues stand in front the table. "I asked Yuzu to look at their mother's main cutting knife she'd use in the kitchen. Then with my experience cooking and Yuzu help. I've mange copy or replicate how the food was produce."

Ichigo puts last bite in his mouth then hits the table hard with fork causing little shack as both Yuzu and Karin quietly stare at him for moment or two.

"Few, that's good really good Yuzu I finally see what you're saying about Shirou's cooking."

She takes small bite chops a little bit gulps down her throat. Then speaks "yeah the minute Shirou give little taste I knew his cooking was special."

Isshin turns his head towards him asks "Shirou why dont you grab a seat and eat with us?"

Ichigo immediately jumps up from his seat states "I want Shirou come eat my room for us hang out and talk you know... Ugh.."

"It be Shirou decision to decide." Isshin crosses his arms and looks at his son in the eyes.

Shirou could sense the sparks of tension to rise between the two they squint at other. "I don't mind it if we eat in his room besides I'll been meaning to talk Ichigo before I came your clinic Mr. Kurosaki."

Isshin takes deep breath "you proved well enough that I don't mind you boys eating in the room."

Ichigo gets some more food follow by Shirou who serves himself takes off apron quickly walks behind then stops notices large picture of women next the staircase.

"Is that...?"

Ichigo looks back with eyes deeply trying not cry and upside down smile. "Yes that is my mother."

Closes door behind them Ichigo lays the plate down his bed and Shirou grabs one the chairs and sits. At same time Rukia and Kon walk out of Ichigo closet? To sit on his bed up against the the window. Kon only state "Rukia is this the idiot that you were talking about that tried fight a hollow with his bare hands?"

She looks down at him slaps stuffed animal head. "Yes, and also this isn't time to be impolite Kon after all he still did save my life. We've been meaning to have this important conversation with Shirou and his pedant."

"Ouch!" Kon crosses his arms silently and Rukia takes small bite out the food.

Ichigo pulls out the pedant and hands it back Shirou.

"Thank I you was wondering where this went?"

"I kept it until you where wake Shirou."

Rukia "After all we still need answers on what happened to you."

He of course responds "I got help order to save you and am glad you're now safe Rukia."

She finishes eating state "I have the same opinion as you Shirou."

The pedant began light up again as he now holds in his hand. Gear inside it starts turning like clock and everyone became silence for second or two.

Pedant "Good you're all here now we'll be on same page and moving forward you can call me Nameless."

Shirou of course rises one his eyebrows "I know that voice Nameless don't you have an actually name?"

"My name along with the memories were affect by being summon into you're body Shirou. Have deal with Nameless until then so suck up butter cup."

He tights his fist states "For person I've recently met I certainly hate you Nameless."

"The feeling is mutual Shirou."

Ichigo stands against the wall turns his head towards the pedant was now on his new acquaintance lap.

"Nameless you told us after Shirou was knock out going explain what is the throne of hero's, demi-servants, pseudo servants?"

"Before I go into detail on what those things are you need understand what is consider a soul. From what mage of flowers told you soul reapers have different view on matter."

Rukia speaks up "Well that's easy souls are called pluses and a person always has chain of fate protrudes from the chest and connects the soul to its living body."

Nameless responds "There in lies issue see in the past and in the Human civilization specifically, it was thought that the body equaled life, and the body was an output device needed to power the soul. Without a living body, a soul could not be generated. However in the world of magecraft the opposite was thought to be true: the soul is a "will" that lies in another dimension, and that will occupies a body."

Rukia moves her head back "Huh!? That's not what they taught us in soul society at all."

Nameless "I wouldn't expect them to after all mages are rather unique in this regard. It's do to a humans born with magic circuits allows them to disregard chains of fate or go to soul society and also prevents them turning into hollows. A normal person born human will have chains of fate but not a mage. Both views can be true at same time They just can't cross pollinate with soul reapers. This also means your friend Ichigo will not have magic circuits and gain same benefits as Shirou even if his consider third rate mage."

Ichigo looks backs at her. "that's fine because at this point am not that surprised there are actual mages living on earth. With ghosts and hollows appearing and all its hard not to consider that possibility."

Rukia "But Ichigo if what Nameless say is true the knowledge I've learned at Soul society academy has been a lie."

Nameless speaks threw Pedant again "It's not lie just you Soul reapers have an absolute view and disregard for longest of time. The understanding that humans and their souls can follow different set of rules into something unique beyond Soul reapers or hollows. There is maybe something both views have in common, a soul is a record that acts as the blueprint of the body."

She states "Of course that's how pluses remember who they are and what year they died in when they finally travel into the soul society. Is reason why hollows become pure instinct because they are lose the record of their heart which is follow by the blueprints of their original bodies."

Kon puts his little stuff animal hands on his face "All this soul talk is really making my head hurt."

Shirou puts in last piece of food in his mouth then moves fork and plate down on the floor.

"There another thing understand which are heroic spirits. Spirits of heroes who achieved great deeds in life, having become objects of worship after their deaths. Which I am consider "one" too degree."

Ichigo asks "so heroes like Senji Muramasa?"

"Yes, then those heroes are freed from the constraints of time itself and removed from the ring of reincarnation, moved to place called Throne of Heroes a place existing outside of both the world and the time axis." Nameless states threw the pedant as Shirou reminds quiet and continues hears the conversation play out.

Rukia puts hand underneath her chin. "They too didn't go to the Soul Society are mostly likely be mages themselves?"

"Sort of a yes its more complex then that."

She looks back at Ichigo and his orange hair and states "Which could explain I haven't seem these "Heroes" from Japan in the Soul society."

Nameless "Lastly Demi-Servants are humans who have taken the heroic spirits into their bodies empowered by a Heroic Spirit and Pseudo-Servants are same expect they have manifested utilizing humans as their vessels taking over body. Shirou is going be at some point to be both because like I said before do unique relationship we have to each other."

Rukia turns look at ceiling squinting her eyes "It really feels like we got our answers yet open door to more questions on why mages specially negate the need for soul society? And whats deal this mage of flowers?"

Nameless speaks with uncertainly in his voice "I suspect has to do with very foundation of earth and Soul Society. Because I'm not familiar with this routes history I cant be sure beside what I learned threw talking to Mage of flowers. Who's motivations can't specifically be pin down yet?"

Shirou stands up stretches his arms and legs as he still holding on the pedant "Doesn't matter me so along I get save people and be a hero of justice. Even with you and your unkind words if anything makes me more motivated."

Nameless "That same mindset of you're Shirou is going have consequences your not prepared for in future by accepting mage of flowers deal."

"I know and I'm willing accept those consequences what ever they might be."

The light of pedant begins fade he puts in his pocket "we shall if you have that mindset by end Shirou."

Shirou picks up the two plates off the bed and the floor then moves to open the door.

"I need make phone call order make sure Taiga won't be worried."

At same time Ichigo continues look down at his watch for todays date

June 16th?

I originally had this chapter much longer and because I had so much material I decided cut it two in order for this chapter have more focus on the ideas I want expand on in the future. When comes different definitions of Souls between Bleach and Fate Stay Night I pulled them from their respective wiki's. Thats part reason why it took me so long get this chapter written. I did lot research on each verse and with this chapter specifically I'm setting the groundwork for those ideas be explored.
