Chapter 5: Meetings

Shirou was expecting Rin to ask any other question, like how long he had been aware of her and if he truly didn't have a wish for the grail, but no it wasn't something that related to the war. Instead, it was about his relationship with Ayako, It was surprising to Shirou that Rin's final question after entering his home wasn't about the Holy Grail War or his in it, but this instead. He paused for a moment, considering how much he should reveal.

"Uh, Mitsuzuri and I are just... friends," he started, choosing his words carefully. "You should know this Tohsaka, while she's someone I care about deeply, our relationship is strictly platonic."

Rin raised an eyebrow, a skeptical expression on her face. "Really? Because from what I saw earlier, it looked like something more might be going on between you two."

Shirou felt his face heat up, realizing Rin might have misunderstood the situation. "No, it's not like that," he stammered, trying to find the right words to explain. "Ayako is just a friend, I swear. Why does this even matter to you?"

Rin flashed him a smile "I'm merely curious Emiya, you and Mitsuzuri barely interact outside of class and club activities, and that was before you left" The girl rested her cheek on her pal as she tilted her head a curious gleam in her eye.

"So imagine my surprise, how somehow after you quit archery, you two seemed to have gotten even closer. She didn't even seem to bring it up even after she invited me a few times to her house"

"Ah, so you're a bowman master" questioned Saber who had decided to speak up "How curious, why did you quit?"

Shirou pursed his lips "I just felt like I had no room left to improve Saber that's all"

Saber nodded, seeming to understand Shirou's reasoning. "I see. It takes a certain level of self-awareness to recognize one's limits. It's commendable that you chose to step away rather than stagnate."

Rin, still curious, chimed in, "But why not continue with archery as a hobby? It seems like something you enjoyed. And clearly, something you were skilled considering, and from what I had heard, Mitsuzuri had apparently gone to drag you back to the club when you had quit a few months ago," The girl leaned on the table "Is that when you two grew close?" Rin tilted her head a small smirk on her face

Shirou's mind raced as he tried to come up with a plausible explanation that wouldn't reveal the true nature of his relationship with Ayako. He knew he had to tread carefully, especially since Rin seemed to be probing for information.

"Well, Mitsuzuri and I, we just, bonded over some shared interests," he replied, trying to keep his answer vague. "And, we've just been spending more time together lately, that's all."

Rin's smile widened, but there was a hint of mischief in her eyes. "Interesting. Well, Emiya please, do share. I'd love to hear about how you two became so chummy"

Shirou inwardly cursed his luck as Rin continued to press for details about his relationship with Ayako. There had to be a reason she was prying, maybe looking to see if she could use Ayako as a way to threaten him later down the line, but Rin wouldn't do that would she?

"Most likely," The voice of Kiritsugu rung in his head "It's easy enough, though, to use any information she gains against you, either directly or indirectly. Keep your guard up, Shirou."

Shirou nodded mentally, grateful for Kiritsugu's reminder, he had to keep his guard up, even if it was a classmate. He couldn't be sure, if she was merely playing nice or actually didn't want to fight him.

"You know how it is," he began, trying to play it off casually. "Just spending time together, talking about archery, taking me out, helping each other out with things... I guess we just clicked."

Rin raised an eyebrow, clearly not satisfied with his vague response. "Just clicked, huh? That's quite the understatement, coming to your home this late quite interesting" Rin's eyes narrowed "I also noticed you two walk to school together now, something that you and Sakura used to do all the time"

Shirou felt a knot form in his stomach as Rin mentioned Sakura. It had been a while since he interacted with her...he couldn't bring himself to after what he saw, he forced down a shiver and kept calm, choosing not to focus on Sakura right now.

"Sakura and I are still friends," he replied. "But Ayako and I have just been spending more time together recently. It's nothing more than that."

"Is this really necessary master?" Came the gruff annoyed tone of Archer, who didn't enjoy being so close in what he considered to be, enemy territory, doing what, asking questions about said potential enemy's personal life.

"Oh shush you, I'm just curious," she replied, turning her attention back to Shirou. "Alright Emiya, I'll drop the question but, you're not getting out of this, you're telling me something"

The girl's eyes narrowed, Shirou knew that she was dropping all pretense of being merely interested in his relationship with Ayako, she wanted something to use against him. Something concrete, be it how he views Ayako, or how he can do what he can do. Alright, then he'd give her what she wanted.

"Projection" Was Shirous simple answer "It's projection magecraft" He would tell her the truth, little half-truths on what he could do

Rin looked at him like he had a screw loose "Projection magecraft? Very funny Emiya," The girl shook her head, there was no way an incomplete and mostly useless Magecraft, could have produced anything with enough strength to stop a servant. It was most likely some Mystic code he could call with ease, he was just trying to mislead her. Too bad for him, this heiress was too smart and well-studied to fall for such a trick.

Shirou shrugged, maintaining his composure despite Rin's scrutiny. "Believe what you want, Tohsaka. I'm just telling you the truth."

Rin crossed her arms, a skeptical look on her face. "Fine, have it your way. But please continue"

Shirou sighed inwardly, realizing that Rin wasn't going to let this go easily. He had to give her something to satisfy her curiosity without revealing too much. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to continue to share his slightly altered version of the truth.

"Alright, Tohsaka, I'll tell you this much," Shirou began, choosing his words carefully. "I do have some basic knowledge of projection magecraft, but it's nothing special. Just simple objects, nothing like what you saw earlier. And as for the flames and chains, let's just say they're... a result of some unique circumstances."

Rin's eyes narrowed further, clearly not fully convinced by Shirou's explanation. "Unique circumstances, huh? Care to elaborate on that?"

Shirou shook his head, keeping his expression neutral. "I'm afraid that's all I can say for now, Tohsaka. Some things are better left unsaid, especially in a war like this."

Rin seemed to accept his answer, albeit reluctantly, before sighing. "Fine, I'll let it go for now. But don't think I'm done investigating you, Emiya. I'll get to the bottom of this eventually." The girl stood up from the floor, her eyes trained on Shirou and Saber. "Archer, let's go"

Archer nodded in agreement, and Rin turned to leave, her footsteps echoing down the hallway. Shirou let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding, feeling relieved that Rin hadn't pressed him further. But he knew he couldn't let his guard down. Tohsaka was smart and resourceful, and she wouldn't give up easily.

Once Rin and Archer were gone, Shirou turned to Ayako, who was unharmed, just asleep like Tohsaka said.

"Well master, you sure seem to have an interesting classmate" Saber let out a slight chuckle, her arms crossed

Shirou chuckled nervously, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, you could say that. Tohsaka's definitely... persistent."

Saber nodded slowly, agreeing with him "You don't trust her, do you master?"

"...yeah"

Shirou's response was hesitant, reflecting the uncertainty he felt about Tohsaka. Despite her seemingly friendly demeanor, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had to be cautious, that he needed to trust Kiritsugu's teachings. She was a magus, so for all he knew, she could be hiding things, and more than willing to do anything to win this war, he had to understand that.

But, he still held some doubts, she didn't set off the spirit... but so did Shinji at first and now he can't stand to be around him, and that could just mean her sins weren't currently worth it, that didn't mean things couldn't change. These wars tended to bring out the worst in people or reveal their true selves as Kiritsugu would call it.

"I'm not sure," Shirou admitted, his voice low. "Tohsaka is... complicated. I don't fully trust her, but I don't think she's an enemy either. At least not yet."

Saber nodded in understanding, her expression thoughtful chuckling a bit more. "It's wise to be cautious, especially in times like these. We'll keep an eye on her, but for now, let's focus on preparing for the battles ahead, and your friend first"

Shirou agreed with his servant, turning back his attention to Ayako. Gently, he shook her shoulder, rousing her from her slumber.

"Mitsuzuri, are you alright?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.

Ayako blinked groggily, her eyes fluttered open, and she blinked sleepily, looking up at Shirou with a tired expression. "Hey, Shirou... what happened? Why am I here?"

Shirou sighed in relief, relieved to see that she was unharmed. "Long story short, Tohsaka showed up unexpectedly, but everything's okay now."

At the mention of Rins name, Ayako shot up startling Shirou a bit, as she placed her hands on his shoulders "Shirou, Rin, she one of those magi you told me about!" The girl couldn't help but feel a little betrayed, one of her closest friends was apparently a part of this secret society and had knocked her unconscious. The same girl she had invited to her home, into her room to hang out

Shirou's heart sank as he saw Ayako's reaction, feeling a pang of guilt for not being able to warn her about Rin's true nature beforehand. He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down.

"Yeah, she is," Shirou admitted reluctantly, his voice soft.

She looked at the boy with a confused look "You knew?"

Shirou nodded, a solemn expression on his face, he had left out bringing up that Tohasaka was a magus. He told himself it was for her own good. It was better for her to remain ignorant, so she wasn't constantly looking over her shoulder distrustful of her own classmates "I did, Mitsuzuri. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. I felt like it was better if you didn't know."

Ayako's let out a deep breath, her expression softened, understanding dawning in her eyes. She placed a hand on top of Shirou's, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Classic Emiya always trying to think of other people first, just trying to look out for me."

She let out a sigh, of course, he was thinking about her safety, he always seemed to put other people before himself "But, is there anyone else in our school that I should know, who are secretly mages?"

If Rin was a magus, she realized, that anyone she knew could be one. She needed to know who to keep an eye out for. and who was safe to be around, what happened with Rin today, she couldn't let that happen again.

Shirou hesitated, unsure if he should reveal more about the hidden world of magi to Ayako. He knew the dangers involved, and he didn't want to put her in harm's way. Involving Ayako in all this didn't feel like the right thing to do. He couldn't pull her further into this, he couldn't have her killed. Before he could respond, Ayako interrupted him.

Ayako's expression turned serious, her gaze locking with Shirou's. "Save it, Shirou. I know you're trying to protect me, but I can't just sit back and ignore what's going on around me. If there are other mages in our school, I need to know. I can't afford to be kept in the dark anymore."

Ayako's tone was firm, her gaze unwavering as she looked at Shirou. "I need to know, Emiya. I can't just sit around and pretend like everything's normal when you're doing all this alone by yourself, I want to help. I need to help, and I can't do that if you don't tell me anything, so please, tell me."

Ayako already knew that Shirou would try and convince her to stay out of this. But she wouldn't she had to do something may not know much about this whole magi thing, but she'd be damned if she just sat around doing nothing.

Shirou sighed, realizing that Ayako was determined to know the truth. He couldn't keep her completely in the dark, especially now that she was involved, whether he liked it or not.

She's not going to budge on this' The young man thought to himself, he didn't want to, every part of him wanted to just tell her no and hope she left it that and she stayed safe. But he knew Ayako wouldn't stay put; Kiritsugu's words rung in his head "She's my responsibility, I got her into this mess, I'll make sure she gets out of it"

As he hardened his resolve, Shirous thoughts were interrupted by a heavy pat on his back and the familiar laughter of his servant.

"Uwahaha, I like this one master!" Nobunaga swung her arm over Shirous's shoulder, as Ayako turned and jumped back in surprise at the new person she had never seen before a look of confusion on her "She has a certain fire to her wouldn't you agree?" She flashed Ayako a toothy grin. "Quite jumpy though"

"Um...Shirou who exactly is this?" Ayako asked, her confusion evident in her voice.

Shirou blinked in surprise, momentarily forgetting that Ayako hadn't met his rather unconventional Servant. He turned to Ayako with a sheepish smile, realizing he hadn't properly introduced her.

"Oh, sorry about that. Ayako, this is-

"Oh come now, one such as myself must be recognizable in my homeland" The woman interrupted Shirou "But no matter, allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Oda Nobunaga, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, at your service." Nobunaga grinned widely, her eyes shining with excitement.

Ayako's expression shifted from confusion to slight concern as she took in the sight of the legendary figure before her. "Oda Nobunaga..., the historical figure?" The girl's jaw dropped at the sight of the servant "Like... the Oda Nobunaga?!" the girl couldn't help but repeat herself in disbelief

Indeed, like the Oda Nobunaga from history," Shirou confirmed, noting Ayako's surprise. "She's my Servant in the Holy Grail War."

Nobunaga laughed heartily, clearly enjoying the attention. "Yes, yes, the one and only! But fear not, I'm here to help this young lad in his endeavors. And might I say, you seem like a fine young woman yourself, Mitsuzuri."

Ayako's eyes widened, still processing the situation. "I... I don't know what to say. This is all so much to take in." Sure SHirou had explained to her how exactly a grail war worked, seven servants, who are usually influential figures from history or myth are summoned by seven masters to all compete for a wish. But hearing it is so much different from seeing it.

"So...you're a woman?" questioned the girl as she took in the servant's appearance, the flowing red hair the obvious curves with a surprising height, even being taller than Shirou by a bit. It was like she was staring at a supermodel, not some daimyo from the Sengoku period

Nobunaga chuckled, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Ah, I see my appearance may be a bit unexpected. Yes, I am indeed a woman, although I prefer to keep people on their toes." She struck a confident pose, her demeanor exuding charisma and power.

Ayako blinked, still trying to wrap her head around the situation. "I never would've imagined... but I guess anything is possible when magic is involved"

"You'd be surprised how pretty common something like this is" Shirou voiced in

Ayako gave him a deadpan stare "Like how common"

"Well apparently King Arthur's a woman as well"

Shirou's comment took Ayako by surprise. "King Arthur... a woman?" she repeated, clearly astonished by the revelation.

Shirou nodded. "Yes, it's true. Saber, my father's servant from the last war, King Arthur, was a woman."

Ayako shook her head in disbelief. "I... I don't know what to say. This is all so much to process."

Nobunaga chuckled. "Welcome to the Holy Grail War, where history and myth are quite different than what you were taught"

Ayako took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "Alright, back on topic before I start asking too many questions. Are there any other of those mages in our school, any of our teachers, or classmates?"

Shirou takes a deep breath, alright looks like there's no turning back "Besides Tohsaka, I know of two other people who are mages. That being Shinji..." Shirou took a pause "And Sakura."

At the mention of the other girls, a look of realization flashed over Ayako's face "Shirou... so you have been avoiding those two" Ayako paused "Is that why you stopped spending so much time with Sakura?"

The boy grimaced slightly as his thoughts turned to Sakura "That's definitely a part of it" He had been spending less time with Sakura, but her potentially being an enemy was just the only reason he had been spending less time with her.

The air was tense even Saber with how loud she usually was could feel that it was a bit stiff now

Nobunaga cleared her throat, breaking the somber atmosphere with her usual boisterousness. "Well, enough of the gloomy talk! We've got a war to win, don't we?"

Shirou nodded, appreciating Nobunaga's attempt to lighten the mood. "Right, you're correct. We need to stay focused on the task at hand."

Shirou nodded as well, as she crossed her arms across her chest "So Shinjis a mage, makes sense now why he always seemed to have such a superiority complex" She scoffed "Well if I see him I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind"

Shirou can't help but let out a light chuckle

"What, what's so funny?"

Shirou smiled, shaking his head slightly. "It's just... I can imagine Shinji's reaction if you were to confront him. He's not exactly the type to handle criticism well."

Ayako smirked, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Well, someone finally needs to take him down a notch or two. Someone has to put him in his place and who better but me?"

Nobunaga laughed, clearly entertained by the idea. "I like your spirit, Mitsuzuri! If it comes to it I wouldn't mind giving you a helping hand."

Shirou couldn't help but look on at the scene with a sense of nostalgia, it was always like Aayko to stick her nose in things if she felt like there was an issue. There's a reason most of the others at school saw her as the older sister type, always looking out for others if she could.

As Shirou packed his bags, getting ready to leave class. It was the end of the day and everyone was getting ready to leave school, there were no broken appliances for him to stay after and fix. And ever since he had quit the Archery club he didn't have any other extracurricular activities.

'That means you have more time to train and more time to prepare'

Shirou nodded as Kiritsugu spoke up. His adoptive caretaker was right, this just meant that he could spend his time preparing for the grail war. From what Mephisto had told them, it was fast approaching, it was only a month or two from now he had to make sure everything was ready.

Just as Shirou finished packing his bag, he felt a feeling of disgust run up his spine, not now. The boy took a breath as he turned around and was met with the kind face of Sakura, a small smile on the girl's lips at the sight of him.

"Hi Senpai, It's been a while" Shirou could feel a burning building in his chest, but he kept calm and gave the girl a friendly smile.

"Yeah guess it has been, sorry for not checking up on you. I've been busy" He felt the burning in his chest grow more intense, he had to hold it together.

"Oh not I get it senpai" She shook her head "You have a lot of responsibilities, it makes sense, but," She paused before taking a deep breath a slight blush across her face nervousness evident in her voice "If you have the time, would it be fine if I came over? It's been a while so I was wondering..." She reached out a bit her hand grazed his.

Shirou could feel a vile feeling run across his body. Shirou's heart sank as he fought to suppress the dark urges bubbling up from within him. The spirit's voice echoed in his mind, urging him to lash out, to punish Sakura for her perceived sins. But he knew he couldn't But he forced it down, he fought to maintain his composure, the conflicting emotions swirling within him. Sakura's offer was innocent, but the things he was feeling, hit him at full force with a vengeance, threatening to overwhelm him.

"Sakura, I..." Shirou hesitated, struggling to find the right words. He couldn't bring himself to reject her outright, he couldn't do that, but he couldn't be around her. "I'd love to, but I have some things to take care of today. Rain check?"

Sakura's smile faltered slightly, but she nodded understandingly. "Of course, senpai. Whenever you're free, just let me know." She stepped back, giving him some space, her gaze filled with a mixture of hope and sadness.

Shirou watched her walk away, a heavy weight settling in his chest. He knew he had made the right decision. As he made his way out of class, and off of school grounds to a more secluded area

Shirou clutched his chest, the spirit was raging in his mind. His chest felt hot, his body felt like he was on fire. Shirou's hand shook as he clutched his chest, feeling the turmoil raging within him. His heart pounded furiously against his ribcage, each beat sending waves of pain through his body. The sensation was overwhelming as if his very soul was being consumed by flames.

With a groan, Shirou sank to his knees, his breath coming in ragged gasps. The pain was unbearable, but he knew he had to endure it. He couldn't let it run loose, because there's no telling what the collateral damage would look like.

Avalon and Kiritsugu worked double time in order to reign the spirit in, As the intense burning sensation slowly died down. As Shirou let out a deep breath, that was close too close. The spirit had never reacted that violently, not even when he had dealt with the select few more violent crimes around Fyuki. She had merely grazed his hand as he was leaving class and it took every part of his will to stop himself.

He got back to his feet and began walking to his workplace, the job he had at Copenhagen that Taiga had helped him get, but his thoughts were mostly focused on Sakura. He couldn't understand, why was the spirit reacting so violently to Sakura, even Shinji didn't cause this much of a visceral reaction.

Between the two siblings, whatever Sakura had done, was unforgivable. But that couldn't be right, he had known her for so long, and she didn't seem like the type to even attempt hurting someone, so why?

"Emiya!"

Shriou was broken from his thoughts as he turned around to see Ayako Mitsuzuri, the captain of the archery club and his self-proclaimed rival. He had a vague idea of what she was doing here.

He let out a sigh as he calmed his nerves and gave her a friendly smile "Hey Mitsuzuri, any reason you're not at the club right now?"

She stomped up to him an annoyed look on her face "I could ask you the same thing," she poked his chest "Are you going to finally tell me why you quit, or not?"

Yup, that was what this was about, him quitting the Archery club

Shirou chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head. "Well, you know, I just felt like I needed to focus on some other things. I've been... busy." His mind shifted to his preparations for the war, he couldn't leave things up to chance.

Ayako raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. "Busy with what, exactly? You've been skipping practices and meetings for weeks now. And don't think I haven't noticed. Is it because of what happened with Shinji? If so I'm going to give that idiot a piece of my mind"

Shirou hesitated, he and Shinji, an incident had happened where he had to reign the spirit in, it was when he was getting suspicious of Shinjis treatment of Sakura. When he had questioned him about it, he had lied to his face, sending the spirit into a frenzy, he had managed to calm it down with the help of Kiritsugu and Avalon before anything could happen.

But now he knew he couldn't trust Shinji, that entire incident had led to the both of them pushing further apart. He knew he couldn't spend that much time around the siblings anymore.

"Just... felt like I had no more room to improve and, personal stuff. Family things. I'm sorry for not being more upfront about it."

Ayako studied him for a moment, her expression softening. "Look, Shirou, I get it. We all have our own things to deal with. Just know that if you ever need to talk or anything, I'm here, okay?" The other girl couldn't help but feel a bit concerned for him, he lived mostly by himself with Fujimura as his caretaker, since what she heard from the English teacher, his adoptive father had died.

Shirou smiled gratefully, grateful for Ayako's understanding. "Thanks, Ayako. I appreciate that."

The girl nodded "As always, so" she tilted her head in curiosity "Where are you going now exactly, home?" If she was honest, the girl hadn't seen her classmate go out much. Despite being club members together for an entire year, she barely knew anything about him. She knew he was good at Archery, to the point of making her slightly jealous; besides that, she knew he was good with fixing appliances, with how he helped around repairing the school appliances even earning a few nicknames.

But she couldn't name his likes or his dislikes if you asked her, she didn't know who Shirou Emiya was.

'But now's a good opportunity' She thinks to herself

Shirou nodded in response to Ayako's question. "Yeah, I'm heading home for now. Got some things I need to take care of."

Ayako's curiosity was piqued, and she decided to take the opportunity to learn more about her classmate. "Mind if I walk with you? I could use the company, and maybe we can grab something to eat along the way."

Shirou hesitated for a moment, surprised by Ayako's sudden interest. He didn't have to head to his workplace at Copenhagen today, and it wasn't like it would be taking up his time to prepare quickly nodded, offering her a warm smile. "Sure, I'd like that. Let's go."

As they walked together, Ayako seized the chance to strike up a conversation. "So, Shirou, tell me more about yourself. What do you like to do in your free time?" She hoped to unravel the mystery of her enigmatic classmate and perhaps forge a stronger bond with him.

Shirou paused for a moment, considering Ayako's question. He wasn't used to talking about himself, but he appreciated her effort to get to know him better. "Well, in my free time, I guess I spend a lot of it fixing things around the house or helping out at my part-time job. I also enjoy cooking, it helps me relax after a long day."

Ayako nodded, listening intently. "Cooking, huh? That's interesting. What kind of things do you like to cook?"

Shirou smiled faintly, recalling the times he spent experimenting in the kitchen. "I like to try my hand at different recipes, but I guess my specialty is Japanese cuisine. Since Kiritsugu, the man who adopted me, couldn't cook anything without burning the stove. So I was in charge of making means for the both of us before he... passed away."

Ayako's expression softened, realizing she had touched on a sensitive topic. "I'm sorry to hear that, Shirou. Losing a loved one is never easy."

Shirou shrugged, trying to brush off the somber mood. "It's alright, I've had time to come to terms with it. Anyway, what about you, Ayako? What do you enjoy doing in your free time?"

As they continued their conversation, Shirou found himself opening up more to Ayako, grateful for her genuine interest in getting to know him better. He realized that maybe, despite his reservations, letting someone in wouldn't be such a bad thing after all.

As Shirou and Ayako walked together, unaware of the eyes watching them, the figure hidden in the shadows observed them intently. Her gaze was intense, her eyes glazed over with a dead look but inside, she was bubbling with jealousy, resentment, and hurt. It wasn't fair, it wasn't fair, It wasn't fair. Why was she there and not her, that was her spot

Why did Senpai choose Ayako over her? What did Ayako have that she didn't? These thoughts tormented her, consuming her mind with every step they took together. She had been the one by Senpai's side for so long, supporting him, caring for him, and yet he seemed oblivious to her feelings.

But now, seeing him with Ayako, it felt like a betrayal. She couldn't understand why he would choose someone like Ayako over her. Was she not good enough? Was she not worthy of his attention? He couldn't know, right? He didn't know she was filthy right, he couldn't as long as he didn't it should be fine

The figure's heart ached with longing and despair as she continued to watch them, her grip tightening on the shadows around her. She knew she had to do something, anything, to make Senpai see her, to make him realize that she was the one who belonged by his side.

But for now, all she could do was watch and wait, nursing her wounded heart in the darkness.
