Chapter 24: First Blood pt 01

(POV 3 person)

Tom calmly watched from the door at Shirou who was talking to Kotomime

There was a mixture of worry and weariness on her face

Next to him Kushiro asked him

- You're sure to let him talk to that guy - She hated the mapo tofu boy very much at all

"No. I'm not sure, that's why I'll watch, if you try something funny" She said to show Kuu that there were at least thirty swords covered by an illusion that totally erases his presence pointing at Kotomime from all angles

A smile came to the redhead's face

Yes. One of her favorite activities as a partner of hers, in addition to dating, of course

Is...

Prank or trolling the stupid fake priest who loves to watch the world burn!

Knowing exactly what Kuu thinks from his malicious expression

Tom decided to ignore her and pay attention to Shirou and Kotomime's conversation.

....

Shirou started to open his eyes hoping that everything that happened was just a bad dream

One nightmare of so many that he had in the past

- Did you finally wake up? - asked a neutral voice

- Dad? -Still a little confused the redhead, he confused the figure of Kotomime with Kiritsugu

- It's a shame, but I'm not your father - He said without changing his neutral tone or his expression

- Where? - Confused and somewhat annoyed, the redhead decided to ignore a sarcastic voice in his head that told him to hit the man as soon as he saw him

-Ugh- A groan escaped from his mouth, she looked down to see his naked torso of him covered in bandages

As well as his semi-torn shirt on the bed he was in

-You should not move so much, it has been a long time since I treated anyone, so I can not assure you that I did it well - he said as he got up from the chair

His work was already done after all

Now his only obligation was to explain his situation to Emiya.

- Who are you? Did ... you save me? - I ask doubtfully the man who looked like a pedophile priest

-I am still capable of helping a drowning person, I am still a priest ... Unfortunately, I was not the one who brought you here, it was a boy and a girl who saved you, he said without giving it any importance.

- Are you a priest? - He asked as if it was a great shock

Annoying Kotomime a bit even though he's not showing it on his face

Shirou dressed and followed the priest through the church

...

-Pffff hahaha they made fun of him in his face-Tom couldn't help but laugh when he noticed the annoyance on Kirei's face

- Want? - Kuu had offered him some of his popcorn while they used Tom's illusions to hide in plain sight in the main part of Fuyuki's church

....

- Welcome to Fuyuki church - He said dramatically spreading his arms as the windows glowed

- Who are you? -

Tom found it funny how Shirou kept on guard against Kotomime

- 'At last you are showing your other state ... your unsheathed state' - A smile began to take shape on his face

Tom was one of those who believed that Shirou's personality was divided into two parts

The silly, dense and overprotective way of him was his state of "Sheathed"

And the other part of his personality is like Archer

Cynical, sarcastic, stubborn and cautious that was his "Unsheathed" form.

(Archer: You lacked handsome, dark and semi-mamadisimo)

- I am Kotomime Kirei, the priest in charge of witnessing the end of the world. I welcome you, lost sheep- There was seriousness in his tone as if every word had great meaning

-I appreciate you taking the trouble to treat my injuries, but ...- Hesitating a bit he decided to continue his words, it was too late to retract

... Besides he never intended to

-I must go, I'll thank you another time-he said decisively

- Where are you going? - There was a slight mockery in the false priest's tone - You don't even know where Sakatsuki Miyu has been taken -

Shirou's body immediately tensed at the mention of that name.

Taking her slightly sore right arm he shot a glance at Kotomime

- Could it be that you too? -

- Do not worry. You're wrong. Lost boy, the first thing you need is to know what is happening - Said he gaining Shirou's attention

- Observe to gather information -

* Clap * Clap

His footsteps echoed as he approached young Emiya

- Analyze it to form a plan, prepare your heart to make a decision -

* Clap * Clap

-If you don't do that, you will make the same mistake again- He said when he was about five meters from Shirou

-Please tell me what his goal is and his true identity- Swallowing his bad feeling, he decided to give her the benefit of the doubt

- Ainsworth. It is an important family of Magus with a history of a thousand years - he began to narrate

- Ains ... worth - The boy muttered with great will

...

When you see it, it will go on the face of his brother / brother-in-law

Tom smiled wryly as he felt Kuu's accusing gaze.

-Okey ... maybe I was a bit of a bad influence -If he was honest he felt a bit intimidated by the accusing look of his sister / girlfriend

- ...Only a little? - She said looking at him with a sweet smile

[It wasn't just you Tom] Sakura said

- Well, I am a very bad influence - The black-haired man sighed in relief when he saw that the redhead nodded satisfied to see him fully accept the blame on himself

...

-But his only specialty is the scrolling Magecraft, a garbage, they have never stopped craving the same wished for a thousand years-

He didn't know why but he felt there was something very wrong with the way he mentioned the scrolling magecraft.

- A wish too grandiose, childish and idealistic, do you know what it is? - The mockery in the man's eyes only grew more pronounced

Annoyed with the priest's "I know something you don't" attitude, Shirou replied in a somewhat curt tone.

- How do you want me to know that? -

-You should understand perfectly-his smile became more pronounced

Something clicked in Emiya's mind

-It can't be ...- his eyes widened when he realized what he meant.

- The continuation of the history of mankind. Regardless of the method they must use, the desire of the Ainsworth is to save this lost humanity, they captured Sakatsuki Miyu to wish the salvation of the world. Don't you think that is "justice"? -

-The justice that Kiritsugu craved ...- he said through clenched teeth, questioning his if he was good or bad

-It was two hundred years ago that the Ainsworth searched for the Holy Grail, which surpassed humans, and created a ritual-he crossed his arms as he continued to explain his point, happy to have caught the attention of his next "entertainment"

Something told him that the expression that the boy put before the pain and suffering of seeing the world and humanity perish because of his decision while his ideals are destroyed by his own hands, would be simply fantastic

- There have already been four attempts to perform the ritual, The War of the Holy Grail, but all have been unsuccessful -

- The Holy Grail War? -He thought he saw for a moment a sadistic little smile on Kirei's expressionless face

- A ritual where there is a Slaughter, and the winner gets the Holy Grail. The fourth war had the worst possible ending five years ago, you see it with your own eyes, right? -

Remembering that swirl of shadows born of the malicious desires of the people

He frowned

Did all this happen and for what?

-In that war, the previous leader of the Ainsworth, his allies and the people who helped them were eliminated- he said ignoring the shock on Shirou's face

-Julián and his sister were the only survivors. However, Julian is trying to recreate the ritual on his own, he said, remembering how he had "convinced" Julian to start the fifth war.

- Using Sakatsuki Miyu as the Holy Grail of the fifth war, all to save humanity -

- ... Emiya ... - He said with his head lowered, in the same way that Tom and his sister were

- Excuse? -

- She is not Sakatsuki Miyu! No ... She is Emiya Miyu,

And to save humanity ?! Fuck me! -

He finally exploded he couldn't take it anymore

-He caused that huge crater! How many people sacrificed themselves for that ritual? ... To save humanity, you say? In the end ... it only caused a tragedy! -

- "In the end", huh? Do not draw hasty conclusions, humanity is destined to perish, he said, pouring a bucket of cold water over Shirou's anger, calming him down a bit.

- What the Ainsworths saw was the horizon beyond the future. Not only the branches, but also the trunk of the tree

Not just the trees, but the whole forest

Not just individuals, but all of humanity. Abandon and sacrifice the minority to fulfill your goal, would you refuse to do so? - He walked to a stop in front of Shirou

- Me... -

- Come on make up your mind, Emiya Shirou, be an observer or an enemy -

The priest turned his back on her before walking back into the church but not before giving Shirou one last look.

-No matter what your decision is, the justice that you adore so much will fall apart -he said to the dismay of the redhead

************************

Shirou had already left

Kotomime was planning to go back inside the church when she suddenly felt countless steel blades pointed at her

He looked up from her to see himself surrounded by swords.

Powerful mystical codes from what he could see

- Be careful who you mess with Kirei - He heard an icy voice behind him

Moving slowly I look at his new guest (Intruder)

He was a young man of apparently 17 years old with black hair and some white streaks.

His blue eyes stared at him with total coldness

- To what do I owe the honor of this visit - He said with his back full of sweat

-Nothing important, just don't mess with the Emiya boy- Tom said trying to hide even for a while his relationship with Shirou

Kirei felt weird

Did he, an ex-enforcer, feel threatened by a brat?

On the other hand

- 'This feeling I feel about him ... is similar to that of people who use Class Cards, more specifically those who use Berserker's. No, it's different but at the same time similar, 'he thought as he watched the young man walk out of the church doors.

************************

Shirou had long since left the creepy church

Unconsciously his feet directed him to that place

But he was still too lost in his thoughts to notice.

- 'In any case I must find Julián and check this out' -

- '"The Ainsworth workshop is in the center of the crater ... however it is your current state ..."' - Kotomime's words were

I try to go through the path to the crater but ...

-It can't be ...- He said confused

It doesn't matter which way I try to get in ...

- Won't you even let a phony who only admires justice like me meet you? I ask, clenching his fists until the blood began to drip onto the ground.

... he was not allowed to pass, he was always "displaced" at the beginning of the walk

-Gives ... the face-With his hair covering her face

- Show your face, Julian! I know you are here! - He shouted releasing his contained fury - Yes, I know this justice, this family ... - I fell on my knees on the ground

Tom and Kushiro had already reached the place, they stopped in their tracks

They knew that the most hurt with Miyu's situation was Shirou

- This person I was trying to imitate to cover my true self was just an empty shell! From the beginning, he was wrong, I know perfectly well! - Tears ran down her face

Tom couldn't take it anymore and ran

He ran to where the boy who had treated like his brother for several years ago was with Kuu following him

- But... -

- That's why I ... wanted to start being something real! - I cry looking at the sky, remembering the night they saw the stars and the promise they made to the little girl

-I still haven't told him everything she wanted to tell him-

- Give me back Miyu - Shirou said feeling the familiar warmth of the arms of his brothers

He can't take it anymore and scream

Then he collapsed powerlessly

- Give me back my little sister! -

Emiya Shirou who hadn't cried since Kiritsugu's death

He cried like a little child in the arms of his brother, while his sister tried to comfort him.

Looking from a distance Julián turned his gaze from him to his ex-friend

- I'm sorry, Emiya ... - The Ainsworth looked sadly at the one who had given him a sincere friendship feeling like trash - I know that I will never receive your forgiveness ... - He began to leave the place entering a bright blue hatch similar to a portal - But everything is for the good of humanity, so curse me all you want - Still with sadness in his tone

The blue haired's eyes were full of determination

- I will not hesitate to fight you -

He vanished along with the portal leaving no trace of his stay there other than his footsteps on earth

************************

After that, Julian did not go back to school.

... Made the wrong decision?

I did not know, I did not know it

Time was cruel and it ran its course

Full of snow the streets of Fuyuki

Days passed, Tom and Kushiro taught Shirou how to better use Tracking

Shirou was currently practicing with black keys.

Throwing them in the hope of crossing the delimited field that prevented him from reaching the other side

Dark circles and fatigue adorned his face

But his eyes never wavered

Regardless of the pain, he continued training without stopping

Tom had done everything possible to stop him trying so hard, but his efforts were unsuccessful.

He watched with frustration as each day the redhead's eyes lost their light, becoming more and more like those of a machine.

He he knew those eyes well

-'They're like the old man's'-he thought with a sigh -'You know what they say, if you can't handle them, join them'-he Reflected in his head as he joined Shirou

Sometimes the redhead injured himself to the point where Tom had to use part of his blood under the name "magic medicine", taking advantage of Shirou's ignorance of the affairs of the moonlit world.

Little by little during the fainting of him from exhaustion

I use Gluttony to remove impurities from Shirou's body.

Why according to Sakura, if she integrated all of her "gifts" into him as his body is, he will not be able to bear it by killing him instantly

He was taken out of his thoughts when he heard the groan of the redhead who was wearing his trademark blue-white shirt with a hoodie over it.

- That fake priest made me pay so much money for those swords - I growl with furrowed eyebrows in annoyance

He sighed with resignation

Although the priest did not hurt Shirou, that did not mean that he would not take advantage of it to rip him off.

Walking home they ran into a familiar face

- Senpai? Tom-san? - She said happy to see us both

While Tom's relationship with this Sakura wasn't as good as it was with F / SN's Sakura

They were good friends

- Sakura / Sakura-chan ... - They both said at the same time, making the girl giggle

- Why are you here? - Asked Shirou

While Tom like all good older brother, he was preparing to embarrass his little brother

-He was coming home after buying food, what a coincidence-

Tom just gave him a blank look at which Sakura looked away

Tom knew that this girl had stalking tendencies

While Shirou just watched with some confusion and ... Jealousy?

A chibi version of Sakura and Tom mentally high-five when their gazes met.

Feeling foolish for not having thought of this before

They soon arrived at the Emiya residence

With tears in his eyes and reluctantly Tom convinced Kuu to let Shirou and Sakura use his holy place (kitchen).

- What happens with you? - Kuu looked at Tom as if he had grown a second head

- Have not you noticed? -He said while the redhead looked at him with confusion -He's in a better mood than before, he's even smiling a little- finally the redhead saw him, she was small but there was a smile on the boy's face

-I just want him to be happy ... I don't want him to live full of pain and guilt-Kushiro smiled he knew that the bicolor was ruthless with his enemies

But to his family and loved ones he would fill it with love and affection

...

Shirou was cooking happily

He had gotten Tom to let him use the Legendary Artifacts (Kitchen Utensils) and the Holy Ground (Kitchen)

Involuntarily he turned to see beside him where Sakura was

Soon his mood turned sour when a memory of Miyu cooking next to him and her siblings dying of envy flashed through his head.

- Senpai -

He must have made a weird expression, as Sakura was looking at him with concern.

-Ah, it's nothing- I reduce the importance of the matter to continue cooking trying to ignore the worried looks that he felt on his back

Warmth filled his heart at the same time that he felt guilty.

- 'Does someone empty like me ... deserve all this love and concern?' - He asked himself

Soon Kuu set the table with the help of Tom

- Wow, it looks delicious! I already knew you were amazing! - Exclaimed the redhead happily seeing the food - Even the housewives would be impressed by your food -

- Don't exaggerate either - he answered without seriously believing in his words

- Mom Emiya ... - Tom muttered

Kuu and Sakura laughed out loud as the redhead gave him an embarrassed look at the nickname

After lightening the atmosphere with laughter, Sakura said

- I never thought I could try your food at your house -

- Itadakimasu - Everyone ate with a pleasant atmosphere

They enjoyed chatting and joking with each other until finally it was time to talk a little more seriously.

- Excuse me for not going to school lately - Shirou looked guilty

- Come on don't worry, I was worried about you, but I'm glad that none of them are sick. But you see, practicing Kyuudo and going home alone ... I feel a little lonely the truth - She said with a smile still with sadness in her tone

Shirou felt that his heart was tightening Sakura was important to him

But Miyu ...

Tom looked silently, but in his mind he was thinking about the situation

-'She is the type of girl you can hurt, but she would still look at you and smile'-I lower her gaze so that no one would see her eyes

Memories of the two timelines that F / SN passed through flashed through his head

There he came to understand Sakura

She knew that she would cost him a lot but he would

He had already healed the bodies of Sakura and Illya, he had made Shiro survive the Holy Grail War, he had the most difficult part left.

Heal their hearts

[... You love them a lot, don't you? ] Skura said without her usual mocking or arrogant tone, in any case it sounded soft

-'I love them'-was what he replied, leaving Sakura in silence

One hand took hers

I turn to her side in surprise

-You will always have me by your side you know?, Even if everyone ignores you or hates you I ... I will never leave your side-Kuu whispered in his ear, there was no doubt in his tone

Looking at her Tom had no words to express what he felt

- 'If I could, I wish I could make you see yourself from my eyes. So you could see how special you are to me '-she thought as she hugged the redhead in a loving hug

Not knowing how much he embarrassed the girl

As well as Shirou and Sakura who looked at them with a big blush

As for Kuu

... From the size of the vapor cloud on his head, he would be out of commission for a while.

"H-How long will you keep hugging me, you idiot ?!" -Shout with the way he active Tsundere hit Tom

Giving him a one way trip on Sword Air lines

...

- Thank you very much for inviting me to dinner, your food was very delicious -

-Sorry, I think I won't be able to go to school for a few more days- Shirou said he loved Sakura very much but he had decided ... He will save Miyu

- If you want, you can come visit me whenever you like -

Tom and Kushiro made strange victory poses from the door as they carefully watched the conversation.

His umbrella covered her face

-I thank you for inviting me ... but this will be the last time-his voice lost strength with each word he said

- Don't be shy, I don't care if you come ... -

- It's the last time! -He said decisively she with his voice shaking

-The truth, I want to spend much more time with you, go to school and practice at the club ...- his voice was losing strength-go home together and be able to say goodbye to you with a "See you tomorrow" -

The redhead widened his eyes, even he could understand what Sakura was referring to.

- You see, those simple things that others would see as silly, are very important to me ... -

- Sakura ... - Shirou could only see her in shock

His umbrella fell to the ground

- But everything has an end ... Because the War of the Holy Grail has already begun -

His tearful face filled Shirou's sight

- What are you saying? Sakura ... Why do you know about that? -

- It's normal, Tohsaka is one of the families that helped create the ritual -

- They are deceiving you ... - Shirou could not continue speaking seeing the tears that threatened to come out of the eyes of the girl in front of him

Sakura closed her eyes and put her hands on her chest, she tried to look happy and said with a slightly forced smile

- It's a shame, I thought you'd be more surprised -

- As I tell you? -I answer in a dull tone, her voice gradually losing its emotions-I think I'm getting used to losing my loved ones-

- "Loved ones" Eh? -A genuine smile appeared on her face -Is that how you see me? -

Shirou approached and raised Sakura's umbrella

-Hey, Sakura- With a frown on his tired face Shirou looked once more at his kohai- Did you come to kill me? -

- I already knew you were a bad boy, senpai - She just smiled but it was obvious from her tone that she felt hurt by the redhead's question - Normally, in the Holy Grail War, the Heroic Spirits cards are used to fight during the ritual - She said as she took out four letters from her pockets

- I managed to steal these cards, there are two Saber, Archer and Rider - She said

-I could not get the strongest, the letter of the King of heroes, Gilgamesh-Taking the four cards in her hands I place them in Shirou's-But these I will give them to you-

The redhead looked confused

Why ... She, that she should be on the side of the Ainsworths was helping him?

- Why? - I don't even try to hide the bewilderment I felt

- If you want to rescue Miyu, you must be the winner of the Holy Grail War - The tone in which he said it indicated that he had no choice but to accept the letters if he wanted to get his little sister back - It may not be impossible if You use these cards, but ... - His hands shook before releasing Shirou's

- Sakura ... -

The tears of the callerón girl incessantly from her eyes

- If possible, just one thing ... If you can fulfill this wish ... -

Much to the shock of the redhead, the redhead jumped onto her chest clinging to him.

- Please run away! I want you to forget everything, Magecraft and Miyu and flee this city! - Full of desperation the girl begged him through tears - If you ... if you listen to me, I'll leave everything and I'll go with you! -

Bad ... he felt bad, no matter how bad she felt or how badly she wanted to comfort the girl in her arms.

-Sakura-I call her name once more taking her shoulders-I'm sorry but I ...-

He had already made up his mind

A knife was thrown through Sakura's shoulder

Once again her eyes shone in two different shades

The Class Card Archer she was holding flashed

Her eyes gleamed first a steel gray ... then a dull, black gold before returning to normal.

... The two Saber cards had flown away to who knows where

Sakura managed to keep Rider's card in her hand

- Come on, it will be possible - an unpleasant voice was heard

Shirou held Sakura behind him

- Who are you?! - Shout to the people in front of him

They were a guy with blue hair, a blonde and a brown

They had nothing in common except the disgusting smiles that hung from their deathly pale faces.

- I can't believe this - Said the blonde with a laugh

- What a bitch little sister you are, Sakura - Said the Blue Hair - Let your brother ... correct you? -He seemed to doubt her words for a moment

- Yes, that - Brown said with a thumb up

- Impossible, Shinji-nii-san? - Sakura said shocked

- I thought you said you only had one sister? - Shirou asked with surprise

"Y-Nii-san was supposed to be dead," he said with terror

- Are you Sakura's brother? - I ask seeing it - Then, why ...? -

-That's right, I am the Legitimate successor of the Matou family-his crazy smile did not diminish in the slightest

- My name was Matou ... What is my name? -For a moment his expression changed to a puzzled one as he held her head with a little pain

-It doesn't matter- Finally he gave up trying to remember -If I killed them both, maybe I remember! -Once again he threw a knife

Shirou reacted quickly by grabbing Sakura's umbrella

-Trace On-Achievement reinforce him enough that he will block the knife once more

- Senpai! - Shrieked the girl going to hold the redhead

Tom who saw everything, felt that something was not right

Shinji was supposed to come alone, so who were the other two?

- Kuu, get ready -

- Problems? - Said the redhead

-I think so-I answer with a frown fixing my gaze on the "extras"

.....

- Hey, come on, what about that? How strange-said the brunette a little surprised by the fact that in his eyes he was nothing more than a useless wrestler

- How did you block my attack ?! Why? Why? He roared hysterically. "Why ?! Why?! How did you block my attack ?! -

In a fit of go he put his letter, Assassin on the ground

A circle appeared and black robes enveloped him

-Install- He said to be totally covered with a new outfit

A Gray Kimono wearing a Black Jacket and wearing an orange scarf

He wore two Katanas, one on his waist and one in his hand.

- Ha ha ... Hahahahahahaha - I laugh like a maniac

(KW: It's like Zack's laugh in Angels of Death)

- Come, Sakura! -He took her by the arm of him and went into the house

Shinji's companions who were going to rush next to him to chase them

They were stunned for a moment

When they felt it ... it was horrible, it was a huge assassination attempt

In fear they raised their heads from him to see on the roof of the Emiya State

A young man with black hair with white streaks, gave her an icy look

Gray armor and boots covered his torso and legs, a red scarf and a skirt of the same color extended from the same place on his belt (Kiri Assassin's clothes)

His left arm was uncovered revealing tattoos that twisted eerily as they glowed blue, his holy sheet flapping in the wind clinging to the knot on the boy's wrist.

Next to her was a girl with a great figure, she had red hair with white tips

She wore a black bib with a red skirt tied to her black battle pants that were attached to her shoes.

Something similar to a red jacket covered her arms with two metal parts at the end of her sleeves

At another time they opened "admired" his beauty but just now they could not ... No, it would be more correct to say that they did not dare

- Why continue? - Said the boy with a gloomy smile - There is a lot of fun here! -

I shout as he raised a large sword that seemed to be made of obsidian with lines that looked like fire around it.

They both felt like they had completely screwed up ...

- Install - They both shouted

They had only one option left ... fight or die

************************

Both Youngsters were running quickly through the corridors of the house trying to escape from Shinji.

-Be careful senpai, her Heroic Spirit is ... Ugh-the girl tried to speak while she held her bleeding shoulder

- Don't exert yourself, you're hurt! "If only I had reacted faster", she thought, showing her teeth

- Don't worry about me better ... - She said before a smiling Shinji appeared behind her

The redhead managed to move in time prevented the katana from cutting the girl

Callerón rolling to the backyard of the house

- And I am doing all this for the welfare of humanity and its interests ... - I put my eyes on the couple - but you guys don't stop fucking my life! -

His eyes turned red for an instant before returning to normal.

- I'll kill you after I kill Sakura, so wait your turn! - Scream he yelled angrily at Shirou who was on the ground a little weakened by the loss of blood

- Senpai -

- Run away, Sakura! I can't ... leave it all behind ...- He didn't want her to die here just to stay by her side -Don't worry about me! She escapes alone and finds happiness elsewhere-

- Sakura? -

She got up standing protectively in front of him

- I'll defeat you, Nii-san! -

- Huh? You came out answering, huh Sakura ?! Not only do you oppose your brother but you even ... do you think about defeating me ?! -Although she was smiling she could see how furious she was

-That guy is going to know God what his name is, did he seduce you or what? You're the worst little sister that can exist in the world! Even if you are my sister, there is no other choice ... - a mocking grimace appeared on her pale face - I'll have to kill you! -

Shirou didn't understand. No that was wrong

He understood but ... that was why he couldn't accept it

- Do not do it! Let two brothers fight to the death! -He yelled at them both

Even if he knew they were unlikely to listen to him

He lost nothing by trying

- Don't worry, I told you, didn't I? My Nii-san died a long time ago - She said

-Also, you didn't choose me, but ...- She turned to see him, the genuine smile on her face touched her heart -I still love you, that's why I will protect you-

-Ugh-he clenched his bleeding fists, once again he was becoming a burden

- Quiet. I promise you I will win ... with this card! -He said with determination

- Install - She said when some small lights illuminated around her

Just to instantly disappear

"Ha ha ha Hahahahahahahaha" His disgusting laugh echoed all over the place, the mocking grin had never disappeared from her face "What's wrong, Sakura ?! Couldn't you install it ?! -

- It can't be ... Why ?! - Shock filled her face

- We already knew that there was a possibility that you would betray us. Did you really think that Julian-sama would make it so easy for you to draw those four cards ?!, The cards you have are not linked to any Heroic Spirit, it's a useless card, it's just trash! Hahahahaha -

- It's rubbish? - Hope began to disappear from his face

- Either way. Your brother will teach you how to use the cards - Contempt was evident in his tone

- Run! - Shouted the redhead trying to get her out of the way

- Sen ... pai - She saw it

She saw the despair in his eyes

- Scream in agony! -The joy was palpable in the blue haired's tone as he pierced his katana into the girl's chest

-I'm sorry-were the last words of her before falling on the ground lifeless

A headache suddenly dragged Shinji away

- Huh? Hey? Hey? What was he doing? What was he doing? Could it be that ...? -He was holding her head tightly with a wrist of pain and sadness

"Oh, I do remember! It's true!" I killed her! -She said returning to "normality"

The redhead had his eyes downcast

- Why...? -he asked without waiting for an answer in his arms he held the lifeless body of his kohai

-You see, I have to kill many people in this war -he said as if it were a game -I would like them to suffer as much as possible, so let me practice with you! -He said before hitting the redhead

He collided with the shed door, a few boxes cushioning his fall

-Yes ...- The moments he spent with his parents and Kiritsugu went through his head

-'I've lost something ...'- He saw him when he was chatting and joking with everyone in the room of the C.E.

-'Una ...'- she saw a smiling Miyu on the same day that Julian took her

- 'And again ... until he was completely alone' - Sakura, Tom and Kuu's death came to his head

Even if he knew that his brothers had not died

Just imagining it hurt a lot

- Hey, are you still alive? I think I've already gotten the hang of the Assassin card, so can I kill you now? -Said Shinji lifting his injured body by the neck -Although I will listen to your last words, I fixed that they will be like Sakura's, right?

-Hey ...- he shook his head so he could look at him straight

- Huh? -The blue-haired man looked at him in confusion, after all he had assumed that the redhead had simply already died or had fainted

- Tell me ... one thing ... How did you feel when you killed your little sister? -He said very slowly feeling great pain throughout his body

- It was that? He felt like ejaculating a hundred times! You should try it sometime! -He said with a big happy laugh

... He couldn't believe what he had heard from her brother- No. This was not Sakura's brother

He was just a monster

- Bye. It was fun. What was your name? - I ask Shirou

-'There are no miracles'-his body felt weak

-'There's no hope'-feeling the force with which they held his neck, he found it harder and harder to breathe

"Ah, yes, I remember! Well, now I will say it well," he said before throwing him against a wall near a window

-The ideal dissolves in the dark-were his thoughts as he took one last look at the moon through the window

- See you never Emiya! - Shinji said as he unsheathed his katana

-However, still ...- he looked up from him, in his eyes there was no longer despair or sadness-I'm here !! - There was only one desire to hit the face of this monster

The Archer letter began to glow

* Ba-bump * Ba-bump * Ba-bump

Shirou felt his heart beat, the world stopped for an instant

In front of him was a strange man

Black skin as if it were burned, on his abdomen, pectorals and part of his face there were marks like golden cracks

There were some strange bracelets on his hands that seemed to carry bullets

He was wearing black pants that seem to be attached to his shoes and ... a jacket? Or so it seemed since it only covered his arms, exposing his large muscles, as well as a red tattoo on his back

His white hair was neatly trimmed, his face was expressionless in its entirety

- Will you protect them? -The stranger asked Shirou, his voice did not contain emotions, his golden eyes shone with intensity

Without hesitation he nodded

Nothing mattered anymore, nor did he care about selling his soul to the devil

There was only one thing on his head

- 'Nobody will take anything from me!' His gaze hardened, his eyes had become identical to those of the man in front of him.

The man just looked before crossing his arms and nodding at him.

-'Use it and never forget this feeling'-he disappeared, but the boy still heard his voice in his head-'From now on ... you will lose everything'-He said as if it were a fact

The moonlight shone on his bruised and bruised body

The light grew stronger and brighter temporarily mowing down Shinji

All of his clothes were replaced by the same outfit as the stranger's.

With the exception of a white cape on his shoulders

A black bandana was on his head, his circuits lit up along his body showing instead of his characteristic blue glow they changed to a yellowish one.

- Who the hell are you ?! - 'Impossible, impossible! Those things didn't work! ' - Without a doubt, Sakura's letters were just rubbish! It should be impossible to install them! Who the hell ... is that Heroic Spirit? Who the hell is that Heroic Spirit ?! Who the hell is that Heroic Spirit ?! -Confused and angry scream swinging his Katana trying to hit him

Shirou blocked his katana with Kansho, with his right fist hitting Shinji's face with all his might.

He collided with the smashed door, shot out the back of the house rolling on the ground until he stopped

- That? What's going on?! What's going on?! -He had started to lose his mind- Don't come near me! -

- I had not heard of something like that! ... Hey, why are you with that attitude? -His tone turned arrogant-

The Emiya approached step by step towards Shinji

Kansho and Bakuya were in his hands (One in sword form, the other in its modified form, that is, a pistol like Demiya's)

Matou did not like me at all

- Hey, hey, it can't be that you think ... It can't be ... It can't be ... It can't be that you think ... That you're much stronger than me! -He said the last sentence with great will, if there was something that he could not bear it was that they saw him down

- Hey, you see you have no wood to be Assassin - He said with his neutral voice and without emotions

... Without realizing he was emulating the voice of that man with his body full of cracks

- Did you make fun of me ... Did you laugh at me? ...- his eyes began to glow eerily blood red

He raised his Katana and pointed at the Emiya

- I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO LAUGH AT ME !! - I scream madly before throwing herself at him

************************

Uffff the Chapter was long

I meant it when I said that I would change a lot of things and this is a

Julian, Angelica and Shinji in and of themselves are not bad

Shinji lost his mind by the memories and Assassin's personality floods his and affects him more since he is already "dead"

What would make an Assassin closer to a Berserker in insanity?

Also, for once I wanted to do a Shinji that was good ... since he always sucks for different reasons and that's it.

Ah, can any of you guess the Servants from the cards?

There are more than 8 cards, which would make the war something like Apocrypha's

And there is little left for me to start my favorite part!

Magical lolis!
