And I'm back! With more Jalter x Shirou content. Big thanks to my absolute chad of a homie from discord for proof reading my shit. Hope you all enjoy this one.

And gimme your comments when you're done reading. They give me life.

"Alright, class! Settle down! I have an important announcement for you all today!" Fujimura Taiga spoke over her class loudly so they would calm down. "We shall be having a transfer student joining our class from now on. So please do give them a proper welcome."

There was a knock at the door, indicating that the new student had finally arrived. "Oh, that should be them." All eyes locked onto the door, but only one particular redhead in the class knew who was going to come through. And just as he thought, a familiar silver hair, pale skin, golden eyed girl entered the classroom dressed in the classic Homurahara school uniform.

While most of the class stared in slight awe and excitement, Shirou tried to keep his blush from being too apparent. But he couldn't really pretend that the image of Jeanne wearing his school's uniform wasn't a fantasy he had on occasion.

Taiga on the other hand, was screaming on the inside despite the strained smile she wore on her face. 'Why is she here!?' A question that kept repeating in her mind. She did not like this punk that had started living at Shirou's place. At first she tolerated it knowing that she was just there for a short while, but then the girl all of a sudden decided to stay permanently.

Taiga knew she couldn't exactly force Shirou to kick the girl out, but she couldn't let a punk like that stay and corrupt her little brother. So she was thankful Shirou at least stayed far away from her when he was in school. but now even that safe haven was breached. "P-Please, introduce yourself." She said with a shaky voice, thankfully unnoticed by the class which was more interested in their new member.

Jeanne nodded stiffly before speaking. "I'm Jeanne Lambert, I came here from France." It was a quick and simple introduction.

"Nice to meet you, miss Lambert. You can sit in one of the free seats." Taiga was thankfully starting to get the hang of this fake smile thing. And while she went back to work, Jeanne made her way to a seat, quickly exchanging a glance with Shirou on the way. The rest of the class duration was nothing noteworthy, the same as any other. But Jeanne did, despite what many would have assumed from the first glance, listen carefully. There was a reason she joined this school after all, and she wasn't about to waste something she was denied in the past.

After the class ended, Jeanne was very quickly swarmed by students. Sad as it made him, Shirou knew better than to try and force his way through the student wall. Issei seemed happy about that, he did not like the new girl, she felt like a witch no better than Tohsaka. And it was already bad enough that Shirou was hanging out with that one, there was no need for another.

Jeanne on her part, was struggling a bit, she promised Shirou and Rin to not lash out on anyone but all this attention was getting to her. And she was already annoyed enough for having to remember the whole backstory Rin made for her public name.

Good news was that at least the students seemed to like her. Although she felt some of them already liked her a bit too much.

The next few periods were hardly any different, listening through the boring class and then getting swarmed by students. She was actually starting to get the hang of it.

As lunch started, many invited her over to sit with them. But she turned them all down since she already knew who she was having lunch with. And right on cue, he called her over from a distance, at the staircase leading to the roof. "Alright, I'll see you guys later." She turned around to leave.

"Eh? You're having lunch with Emiya?" One of the students asks her, questioning when the fake school janitor and the new girl even met each other. They don't recall even seeing them exchange words yet.

"Hm? Well, he's my boyfriend." With those simple words, the entire hallway was stunned into silence — only being interrupted by the sounds of Jeanee and Shirou going up the stairs until it too could no longer be heard.

The silence stretched on for a short moment before one of the students echoed the thought everyone shared. "Eh?"

And while almost everyone was shocked at the revelation, none were quite as horrified as Issei Ryuudou. Not only was yet another witch friends with Emiya, but she was his girlfriend of all things. This had to be a nightmare, right?

Rumors spread like wildfire throughout the school. By the time lunch had ended, word of the fake school janitor and the new girl dating had reached every corner of the school grounds.

"So… how are you enjoying your first day?" Shirou asked as he and Jeanne ate the lunch he prepared for them.

"It's alright, I suppose. I had hoped the rest of the teachers would have been at least partially as energetic as Taiga."

"I see. And the classmates?"

"They talk a lot, so it's not boring at least. That Ayako girl is so far my favorite."

"Yeah, she does tend to get along with people. Has she asked you yet to join the archery club?"

"So she does that with everyone?"

Shirou nodded to confirm.

After a moment of silence, Jeanne chuckled to herself. "Did you see the way Shinji almost pissed his pants the moment I walked into the room."

"Pretty sure Rin wishes she was in our class just to see that."

"Well you two sure have become quite popular quickly." Rin said as she approached. Her classes ended as well as Jeanne and Shirou's did, so they can now go home together.

"I know I'm awesome but thank you for confirming." Jeanne said smugly. "What got Shirou popular though? He's the same dork as before."

"You two are aware the entire school at this point knows you two are a couple. The new cool girl and the school janitor being a thing is going to get people interested." Rin started getting annoyed with how socially dense these two were being.

"What? Why would anyone care about that?" Both Shirou and Jeanne were getting confused now, surely their relationship wasn't a big deal to the school.

Rin, tired of trying to explain it, just pointed a finger towards the school. Jeanne and Shirou looked to what she was pointing at and saw what was possibly half the school's populace at the windows looking at them. Some weren't even at the windows, rather hiding in the courtyard behind bushes, benches, poles and trees. But they all ducked behind cover once they realized they'd been spotted.

Jeanne's face could only contort in a 'what the fuck' expression while Shirou could only stare wide eyed. "I… uhh. I'm sure they're gonna stop caring about it soon enough."

'Oh Shirou, you optimistic fool.' Thought Rin to herself as she looked at him with a look of pity.

"Yo, Emiya." A fellow student called out to the redhead just as he was packing his things. "Can you go take a look at the AC in the student council room? It's been acting up lately."

"Oh, sorry. I can't." Shirou said as he finished packing.

"Great. Tha-... Wait, what?" The student was almost already out of the room before he fully registered Shirou's words.

"Yeah, me and Jeanne had made plans for this afternoon so I don't really have the time." He passed the student and went down the hallway. "See ya!"

The student stood there dumbfounded, as he just witnessed the fake janitor decline someone asking for help. Something believed to be impossible, until today. "Just what the hell had that girl done to him?"

Jeanne let out an exasperated groan as she plopped down on the floor next to the living room table. "Finally, home!" She sprawled herself over the table as Shirou looked at her with an amused expression.

"You seem to be in a bad mood." He said as he started preparing some tea to help calm her down.

"Those damn track girls wouldn't leave me alone for even a damn second. I am also sure Taiga gave me an extra hard version of the pop quiz." Jeanne spoke into the table.

Shirou could only chuckle awkwardly at that last part. He really hoped it was just his girlfriend's imagination. He finished making the tea and brought it over to her. They enjoyed their tea as they talked about anything that came to their mind.

"Ya know, these uniforms really are uncomfortable. So tight." Jeanne said as she loosened up her uniform and let out a sigh of relief. And Shirou almost choked on his tea. Just her wearing that uniform was a fantasy fulfilled and now it was only getting better.

She looked like a textbook definition of a gyaru. Why did he know what a gyaru was? Blame Shinji. His reaction did not go unnoticed by Jeanne, much to his embarrassment. She smirked as she leaned closer to him, making sure to unbutton her shirt just enough for him to get a good look at her cleavage. "What's the matter, Shirou? Don't tell me a school uniform is turning you on."

The poor redhead tried with all his might to keep his eyes averted. He even started drinking his tea harder just to not give himself a chance to say anything dumb. Jeanne however was only encouraged further before jumping her boyfriend. Doing it in the uniform was actually one of her own personal fantasies, so she was going to use this chance to make it come true.

Issei was in a foul mood. Such was the case for quite a while now. Specifically since he found out his best friend was dating a witch. As Shirou's friend, he had to do something about it. The issue was getting the opportunity to talk about the matter was difficult to say the least.

Either he was being crushed by student council work or Emiya had at least one of the two witches with him at all times. So as ridiculous as some may consider it, Issei had to resort to talking to Emiya outside of the school.

Sadly even this was awkward at best due to the poor alignment of their schedules. Emiya had already gone back home hours ago while Issei had finished just a little while ago. He did not even bother going to the temple and instead made a beeline for Emiya's place.

He knocked on the front door and patiently waited. After a few moments of no response he knocked again, harder this time. 'Is he not home?' was a question that crossed his mind only for a moment as he heard something from inside the household. "Coming! Coming!" The voice he heard was without a doubt feminine, he was only slightly surprised as he knew both Fujimura-sensei and Shinji's little sister were close with Emiya. But even so he could tell the voice wasn't quite right.

His pondering was cut off right there as the door slid open. "Hm? Oh. You're… Issei, right? The student council president?" Before him stood what was probably the worst case scenario he could have imagined. On the other side of the door stood the very girl he came here to talk about.

And to add to his horror, she was hardly dressed properly. She wore only a shirt that was clearly too big for her and if he had to guess absolutely nothing else. Wait a second, he knew that shirt. He could recognise that white shirt with blue sleeves just about anywhere.

"L-L.. L-Lambert?! What are you doing here?!" He finally snapped out of his stunned daze and pointed a finger at her. She hardly seemed fazed though.

"I live here." She answered without missing a beat, stunning Issei even further. The cogs in his mind started to turn. Slowly but surely and very much so to his chagrin, he realized what is going on here. The situation was far worse than he thought.

The damn witch and his friend were not merely dating, they lived together. And if her state of dress was anything to go by, their relationship had clearly reached a state of physical intimacy he was not mentally prepared to think about right now. So he did the only thing he could. He ran. At a speed Jeanne noted might qualify him for the Lancer class, Issei Ryuudou was gone.

"Aaaaaaaaaand bye, Issei." Jeanne deadpanned before closing the door and returning to her and Shirou's room. She plopped down into the futon next to him.

"Who was it?" Shirou asked, half asleep.

"That guy from the student council, Issei." Jeanne mumbled with her face buried into the pillow.

"Oh… okay." Shirou started to close his eyes before the name fully registered in his mind. And the moment it did, his eyes snapped back open. "Wait. Issei?! He saw you… like that?"

"Yes?" Jeanne turned now to look at him, confused why he seemed so bothered. "There a problem with that?" Shirou could in turn only facepalm, knowing that this was only the beginning of one huge headache.

"Hmmm. I think we're gonna have to ask Issei for a budget increase again." Said Kaede Makidera, the famed "Black Panther of Homura", star sprinter of her track team.

"He said no the last four times, what makes you think he will say yes this time?" Kane Himuro asks with a tired expression.

"My irresistible charisma, of course." Kaede practically glowed with the confidence radiating off her.

"Do I need to remind you what the definition of insanity is again?" Himuro deadpanned. But before Kaede could retort, the final member of their little group, Yukika Saegusa, noticed something.

"Umm, isn't that Ryuudou-san?" She pointed down the street where indeed the blue haired student council president was running as fast as his legs could carry him.

"Speak of the devil." Kaede grinned as she moved to intercept her target, stopping him in his tracks. "Yo, Ryuudou-kun!"

Her words seemed to barely be registered by Issei, who seemed to be completely out of it. Not to mention he was clearly exhausted from his run. Heavy breathing was mixed in with what Kaede could only interpret as barely coherent mumbling. She could make out a few words. Something about a foreign witch, infiltration, nightmares, someone being naked!? What in the world is he babbling about?

Unfortunately, they barely managed to get anything more out of him in his state. They ended up just helping the poor guy get back to the temple. After they were sure he was home safe and sound, they immediately got to business.

"So, what do you think could get Ryuudou-kun so stressed?" Asked Yukika.

"He was mumbling something about a foreign witch." Kaede noted. "Any idea who that might be?"

Both girls turned to their white haired companion, who had been silent with an expression of deep thought. "You think he might be talking about the new girl, the one supposedly dating Emiya?"

"Ooooohh, yeah she seems like the type he would call a witch. And Ryuudou-kun is close with Emiya, I actually thought they were dating in secret at one point. So I wouldn't be surprised if them dating has him mettled." Kaede chuckled to herself.

"You think Lambert-san might have something to do with Ryuudou-kun's distress?" Yukika's question was answered with a nod from Himuro.

"I would dare say it is specifically related to her relationship with Emiya."

Kaede grinned at that. "Well, then it's clear what we are to do?"

"It is?" Yukika asked while Kimuro seemed to already know where this was going.

"Yep! We are going to investigate this love mystery!"

The mystery was solved actually rather easily. A quick investigation of the new transfer student revealed that she in fact lived with the fake school janitor. Undoubtedly this was the infiltration Issei was talking about.

And just like that, another exciting rumor washed over the hallways of homurahara.

"And this is the archery club's dojo!" Ayako Mitsuzuri exclaimed as she brought Jeanne to her club's main residence. It took a lot of convincing, but she finally got her to at least check out the club. Shirou being a former member ended up being a great motivation for her it seemed.

"Mitsuzuri-chan?" Echoed the voice of Taiga Fujimura, the teacher put in charge of the archery club. But she was not so pleasantly surprised when she saw who was with the archery club captain. "Urghk, Lambert-chan… what brings you around?" She asked with a slightly strained voice.

"Mitsuzuri wanted to show me the archery club. Wants me to join." Jeanne shrugged, seeming a bit bored.

"Oh come on, why are you looking so bored already!? We are about to get to the best part!" Ayako exclaimed as she dragged Jeanne over to the shooting range. A few students were there already, most notably the Matou siblings. And both had reactions of their own to the new arrival.

Sakura's mood had darkened by a tad bit but she managed to keep herself neutral on the outside. As for Shinji, he almost dropped his bow seeing her.

Jeanne merely casually smiled at the two with a raised hand. "Yo." She was actually fond of Sakura, even if the meek personality was a tad bit annoying in her mind. And it was always a joy to see seaweed hair over there crap his pants.

Sakura was the only one to return the greeting before Ayako dragged Jeanne off to the changing room so they could get started. A few minutes later, Jeanne was on the range with Ayako by her side, teaching her the basics so she could take a few shots.

"Fuji-nee! I fixed that AC you kept bugging me about." A certain redhead entered at that moment, in his hands the large device. He stopped in his tracks however when he noticed who else was here. "Oh. Hey, Jeanne. Mitsuzuri." He was thankful Taiga ran up to him at that moment so he had a reason to move his attention elsewhere. It may sound silly but the traditional archery uniform looked very pretty on his girlfriend, so of course he needed a distraction to stop himself from blushing like an idiot.

He then also noticed Sakura, who had visibly brightened upon his arrival, and Shinji. He greeted them as he helped Taiga set up that AC, all the while sparing glances to Ayako and Jeanne.

As for Jeanne, despite seeming to keep her cool on the outside at first, she was far from it. Something about Shirou being there made her way more nervous than earlier. All of a sudden she felt far more motivated to do this perfectly. Well, as perfect as a first timer could be.

Not too long after, Ayako deemed Jeanne's tour complete. It only took long enough for practically everyone to leave. Only Shirou stayed behind to wait for them. "Soooooooooo, how'd you like our club? It's the best, isn't it?" Ayako questioned excitedly.

"It's… nice. But I probably won't be joining it." Jeanne said as she took a sip of the tea Shirou prepared for them.

"Ehhh?! Why not?!" Ayako asked in disbelief.

"I'm just more interested in the arts club." Jeanne shrugged.

Ayako could only slump in defeat. They left the subject quickly enough though. Instead choosing to talk about random things. Slowly, Ayako found herself getting taken out of the conversation as she noticed how engrossed the other two were in talking. She smiled, finding her hopes confirmed. "You two sure are cute when you talk and smile with each other like that." She casually said, stunning both Shirou and Jeanne. And promptly then turning them into human tomatoes.

"W-What the hell?! You don't just say shit like that!" Jeanne exclaimed, uncaring to even watch her language. Ayako merely laughed to herself as she watched the both of them get more flustered with each second.

"I'm just saying. I think you two are good for each other." Ayako calmed down a little as she spoke, taking a more honest tone. "Especially for you, Shirou." She pointed to the redhead who raised an eyebrow incredulously.

"Me?"

"Yeah, you. I swear I actually worried about ya before. You always seemed so… odd. Not necessarily in a bad way but I just always felt like you needed someone to watch over you or you'd do something stupid."

While the couple's blushes were still present, they certainly did tone down by now. "So keep an eye on him for me, will ya, Lambert-san?" Ayako asked with a grin.

Jeanne averted her eyes as she answered. "Um, yea… sure. I'll keep an eye on the idiot."

"And you too, Shirou. You got something good going here, don't mess it up. Or I will personally kick your ass." Ayako now switched her attention to the redhead. Who could only silently agree like his girlfriend did, unsure what to think of the sudden turn in the conversation.

Ayako looked outside then. "Well, I guess it's about time we head home."

Omake:

"Uuuuuuugh! I am so DONE!" Jeanne yelled as she plopped down onto the floor face first as both she and Shirou had just arrived home from a rather tiring school day.

Shirou, however, did not join her. "Jeanne…" He called her name weakly.

"What?" She prompted, clearly frustrated.

"We still have homework for tomorrow, and we can't afford to not do it." His words had earned him one of the sitting futons being thrown at his face. It had no effect but it did end in him and Jeanne staring at one another with deadpan stares.
