side story 1: the girl called sakura

sakura matou, formerly tohsaka, was a gloomy girl,

she had no wish to live, but was forced to live a life of suffering because of her grandfather, zouken matou,

she knew that she could never escape him, she still remembers clearly, the broken form of her uncle, karia matou, as he tried to help her escape,

ever since then, she endured all of the torture that her grandfather and brother would inflict on her with a face without expressions

until she met the Emiyas

the younger brother, Shirou had saved her from bullies, when she asked why ,he replied saying that anyone would do the same, he said that he would not be able to face his brother if he left her alone,

this made her curious to see his brother, and as fate would have it, she met him a few days later,

her first impression of him was that he was terrifying, not his appearence, in fact he was very attractive, but it was the mana rolling off of him that terrified her, when she compared him with her grandfather, it was like comparing the sun with a candle,

she suddenly felt as if someone was scanning her, so she looked towards the source and saw Kurono Emiya who had a horrified and enraged expression on his face,

she immediately became scared, thinking that the brother of her friend had discovered her secret, and she was proven right ths same night

it was only thanks to her element, imaginary numbers, that she was able to recover her memories which he had removed using a very high level magecraft,

she remembered clearly how he had destroyed zouken, killed shinji and saved her from her prison, but she pretended to not remember anything so that he would not suspect anything,

soon she was adopted by one of the teachers in her academy, Fujimura Taiga,

around this time, she had started to realize that she was developing feelings for the elder Emiya, but for some reason he seems to think she was interested in Shirou,

but she did not give up, she decided to persue her wish for once in her life, the wish to make him hers,

it was this strong desire that allowed her to get the command seals for the holy grail war,

at first,she was a loss as to how she would summon a servant, but that issue was once again solved by Kurono who gave her an ancient relic to summon her servant,

this action once again showed her how much he cared for her and streangthened her resolve,

she chanted the aria for summoning the servant and covered her eyes as a bright light spread across the house

after the light was gone, there stood a beautiful woman with a mask covering her eyes and wearing a very revealing dress,

the servant turned towards the girl and asked,

"Are you my master?"
