Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here the story picks up where the last chapter left, which shows the aftermath where Tohsaka and Takuma admit their feelings to one another.

But problem ensues once their detractors make a move on Takuma…

Well, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 9: Akui no aru ito

At the Emiya residence, the scene shows that Shiro and Sakura are preparing dinner, but there was utter silence as the scene shows that Takuma and Rin are staring at the table, blushing after finding out that Shiro and Sakura saw them earlier in an INTENSE MOMENT several minutes ago, while Ilya is shown, her whole body COVERED IN BANDAGES after being struck by Rin's magical blasts. Beside her is her video cam, which was wrecked after Rin BLASTED it to make sure that Ilya doesn't make any copies of the MOMENT that Rin and Takuma did.

Shiro sighed and told Ilya that she shouldn't have done that yet she smiled and said that she always wanted to become a FILM MAKER, but he pointed out that what she did earlier is bordering on pornography, but she reasoned that it was an easy start, pointing out that the film Basic Instinct started out as soft core porn but became a bestseller movie in Hollywood.

"Are you serious, Ilya?"

"Yeah, I am!"

"But…"

"That movie went on to make money, so I got inspired to…"

"That's not the point, Ilya! You just…"

"I can make money had my video cam didn't…"

"D-don't say out loud, Ilya…!"

"Why not?"

The conversation was interrupted when Rin fired a magical blast from her fingertip which zoomed past Ilya's face, as there Rin glared at her, telling Ilya that the next blast will be her head of she pulls off another stunt like that again, which Ilya went behind Shiro and begged him to protect her.

Shiro stared wide-eyed seeing that he is caught in the middle and urges Rin to calm down but a pissed-off Rin tells Shiro to keep Ilya in line or else she would finish her off, and Shiro frantically told the two girls to calm down, with little success.

"G-girls…calm down!"

"Eep…protect me Shiro!"

"Grr…"

"Don't cause a scene!"

"Don't let her FRY me…!"

"I'll turn you into barbecue…!"

"Fuji-nee might suspect something if you go blasting off your magic!"

"…"

"…"

As all of this is happening, Takuma could only watch, as he is at loss on how this happened, as all of the sudden he and Rin are a couple now, and yet he is worried that Kikuri might goad someone to use the Hell Correspondence to target either him or Rin, and this made him feel uneasy as he is still traumatized by what happened to Seri.

Sakura noticed the younger boy's discomfort and whispered to him, assuring that the jilted suitor won't lay a hand on either Takuma and Rin, which partially eased the younger boy's worry.

"R-really?"

"Yes."

"…"

"You're a good boy, Takuma. You deserved to be happy and live a peaceful life."

"Um…"

"We'll see to it that those detractors won't bother you again."

"Sakura…"

"I'm happy that you and Rin got together…"

Outside, Kikuri is recording the scene and mischievously leaves the Emiya house, and as she left, Wanyudo, Hone and Ren were forced to watch as they were unable to prevent Kikuri from causing more harm to Takuma.

The trio wished that Ai was alive and would keep Kikuri in line as well as to prevent Takuma from snapping as he had suffered enough for the past years.

"That Kikuri…"

"She's at it again…"

"Can't we do something?"

"What can we do?"

"The Spider run things here."

"If only Ai were alive.."

"She's at peace now. There's no point dragging her in."

"Wanyudo's right. Let her be, Ren."

"Hone…"

At the Matou manor, Shinji and the jilted suitor are currently applying ointment on their bodies after the beat-up they got from Shiro, and both couldn't believe that he would even dare lay a hand on them, and the jilted suitor is pissed that Shiro has the gall to meddle in his affair, as it does not involve him at all, only Takuma.

Shinji is equally pissed, as he did not anticipate the fact that Shinji would get himself personally involved, and is now thinking of something to get even now that he no longer has a servant, as the Holy Grail War has already ended, and there the jilted suitor ranted to Shinji that they need to do something before Takuma would CLAIM Tohsaka.

Shinji told the jilted suitor to stop whining as he is already hurt, but the jilted suitor is starting to lose his composure as he felt like losing to a mere 13-year old boy, which he began shaking Shinji by his shoulders and there Shinji tells him to calm down already.

"Hey! Stop shaking me!"

"I can't take this anymore!"

"Hey! Stop!"

"Tohsaka is mine, you hear? Mine! She's mine alone!"

"I can hear you! Now stop shaking me!"

"I won't let a middle school bastard outrank me! I won't let him have Tohsaka! I'll kil him if I have to!"

"Simmer down, will you?"

"I really hate that brat!"

By then, Kikuri showed up and CHEERFULLY greeted the two, and this made Shinji feel more pissed that someone has the gall to enter his manor and told her to leave, but Kikuri just teased him in a child-like way, slowly causing a bit of a tension inside the manor.

"Aw…a spoiled brat."

"What did you say?"

"A spoiled brat…a spoiled brat…"

"Why you…!"

"You couldn't land a punch…"

"…"

"And even got eliminated in the game a few months back…"

"What are you…?"

But the jilted suitor felt that he recognized Kikuri, but is unsure and asked her what does she want, and there she brought out a video cam and said he might find something interesting, and out of curiosity, the two boys attached it to a TV and played it, where the two boys were appalled at seeing the footage, where it shows that Takuma and Tohsaka are MAKING OUT, where the 13-year old boy is nearly naked while she is only in her bra and skirt.

This made the jilted suitor go ballistic as he could not believe that the 13-year old boy has BEATEN him to CLAIMING her and proclaimed that he hated him and wants to send him to hell, no matter what it takes as long as he gets Tohsaka for himself.

Shinji urges him to calm down but the jilted suitor wouldn't let up as he ranted some more and tells him that because of Shiro's interference the 13-year old boy has TAKEN the PRIZE that the jilted suitor should have claimed it.

"Hey! Stop screaming, will you?!"

"I can't take this anymore! That brat! He really pisses me off!"

"Hey! Stop!"

"Tohsaka is mine, you hear? Mine! She's mine alone!"

"I can hear you! Now stop ranting and sit down!"

"I won't let a middle school bastard outrank me! I won't let him have Tohsaka! I'll kill him if I have to! Veen if I have to find a way to send him to Hell"

"Simmer down, will you?"

"I really hate that brat! I really hate him for taking Tohsaka! She's mine alone and will not let that 13-year old bastard have her for himself!"

Kikuri smirked and tells the suitor that there may be a way for him to make his wishes come true, and the two boys stared at her, curious to know what she meant, and there she tells them about the Hell correspondence, and this made the jilted suitor interested and asked her how it is done.

Shinji listened to the conversation as Kikuri told the Jilted suitor what to do, and the jilted suitor became intent to exact revenge, as well as to get the younger boy out of the way so that he can CLAIM Tohsaka for himself.

"Really?"

"Really."

"For real?"

"Yup."

"When do I…?"

"I'll come back later. Just be ready, got it?"

"Sure!"

"Hee-hee…"

After that, Kikuri leaves, and there the jilted suitor asked Shinji for a laptop, which he said he needed it to carry out his plans, and Shjinji sighed and said he would do it, but asked if that would be enough to get him to take Tohsaka for himself, and the jilted suitor said he would do anything to take her for himself, as well as to make sure that the LITTLE BRAT is put out of the way.

Shinji appeared skeptical as he sensed that there is more to this than what he initially heard, but felt that this might be a good way for him to see what this Hell Correspondence can do and see if there are any side effects, and if things look good, he might consider it.

"Oh, fine."

"Ha-ha-ha!"

"I'll loan you my laptop."

"Yes!"

"Geez…"

"I'll send that brat to hell…and have Tohsaka all to myself…"

"You really are aiming low, haven't you?"

"Whatever it takes! I want to CLAIM her VIRGINITY! And I won't let a younger brat beat me to it!"

Much later, the time now is 23:25, and everyone is asleep, and the scene shows that Takuma woke up, as he decided to have a glass of milk, and wondered what would happen after, as he is still haunted by what Kikuri told him previously, and is worried that his new friends might get caught in the crossfire, especially Tohsaka, who appeared to become his OFFICIAL GIRLFRIEND, and he blushed when recalling what happened earlier when they unintentionally MAKE OUT at the doorstep of the Emiya house.

At one of the rented rooms, the scene shows that Tohsaka is asleep, and she appeared to have a peaceful dream, and yet something unsettling took place, as Archer appeared in her dream, and spoke to her with an ominous warning, as well as providing her the location of where she should go, and there she asked Archer if he is sure, but Archer told her to do what she must if she wants to SAVE HIM.

"It's up to you if you want to save that boy."

"Eh?"

""At least he's more innocent than Emiya.

"Archer…"

"Better hurry."

"Wait! Archer!"

"…"

"Archer!"

After that, Archer faded away, as Tohsaka tries to call her servant back, and there Tohsaka sat up, as she woke up from the dream, and she became disturbed, and concerned, about the premonition she received from Archer. Glancing at the clock, it was 23:30, and not wasting time, she took some small jewels and leaves the room, where Emiya got up as he is about to use the bathroom, and there he saw Tohsaka getting ready to leave, as she is only in her bedroom blouse.

He noticed her showing a serious and concerned look a asked her what is wrong, and there she discreetly tells him to look after Takuma, as she tells him that she is going to pay a SURPRISE VISIT at someone's house.

Shinji blinked his eyes in confusion, and there she is forced to tell him in brief detail about what Archer told her, and this made Shinji feel concerned, as he is still unsure if the Hell Correspondence is real or not, but Ilya, who happened to wake up, interjected, and reiterated that the Hell correspondence is real, and she tells Tohsaka to get going, if she wants to make sure that the warning she got is real.

"You better go."

"Ilya…"

"If the dream you received is indeed a warning, then there's a possibility that it could be real."

"…"

"We'll look after Takuma from hereon. You get going."

"I…see."

"We'll let you know if something happens here."

"…"

Tohsaka nodded and discreetly leaves the Emiya house, and swallowed a jewel, where her body is covered in MAGICAL CIRCUITS and now she possesses MAGICAL SPEED, where she ran off and headed off to her destination.

Shinji and Ilya then saw Takuma sitting at a chair, drinking a glass of milk and the two glanced at each other before deciding to join the younger boy, as they intend to make sure nothing bad happens, as they have a feeling that something bad would happen, and there Shiro and Ilya began talking to Takuma, so that he won't act rash and nervous should he get the gist of what is about to happen.

"Hey."

"Hi-ho!"

"Ah, Emiya…Ilya…"

"Can't sleep, huh?"

"Had a SEXY dream with Rin…?"

"Um…ah…"

"Ilya!"

"What?"

"…"
