Chapter 25 - A Duel?

"Saber-san! I heard from Shirou that you are very good at kendo from the student that try to wooing you that you beat until their was battered . Can you do a sparring with me? Because I really want to know how strong you really are!"

In the night right after Shirou and Rin was attacked by Berserker and Leysritt. Fujimira Taiga suddenly challenging Saber who still eating her seventeen bowl of rice to do a sparring in kendo with her.

"Fuji-Nee! Don't be rude like that to Saber by challenging him to do a kendo sparring with you!" Shirou said who busy putting a rice into the bowl for Saber.

"Shut up Shirou!" Taiga shouted. "My kendoka blood was boiled by knowing if there is someone who good at kendo close to me! So to calm my boiling blood the only way is to challenge Saber-san to fight."

"That was really a lame reason Fujimura-Sensei," Rin said while drinking a cup of tea because she already finished eating. "Can you made a more good reason?"

"Tohsaka-san, you are so cruel by saying that thing!" Taiga said with a anime tears in her faces because she feel sad because of Rin words. "Can you understand the boiling blood of the kendoka in me!"

"No I don't care about that kind of thing," Rin said. "Because I was not a kendoka or a sword warrior."

"I will accept you wish to have a sparring duel with me," Saber said who eating her eighteen bowl of rice. "With a condition that you will not challenge me again of you lose."

"Okay, deal!" Taiga shouted with a sparkling in her eyes because she feel happy. "I only want to know how strong you really are, by sparring with you Saber-san! I don't have any other intention than that, I'm not some kind of battle maniac you know! Let's do the sparring after the school over tomorrow in dojo of Emiya Residence, what's about that?"

"Well, I agree," Saber said with a sigh a little. "Because if we doing a sparring after I finish eating it would be uncomfortable for me, beside that the day already dark and night. So if we doing the sparring after the dinner the situation and the mood will be bad."

After that in an instant, Taiga finishing her fifth bowl and running out of the dining room/ kitchen. And saying loudly that she will going home to do a kendo training rather than staying in Emiya Residence until midnight to watch the TV like she always do.

"Sigh, finally she is gone," Shirou said while wiping the sweat drop on his faces using his hand. "Fuji-Nee is as spontaneous and stupid as always, why did she must to challenge Saber right after she heard the rumour about Saber beating up the stupid pervert that try to seduces Saber. What a troublesome guardian that I have."

"Well atleast she didn't try to asking Saber to have a sparring in the school," Rin said who already finish her tea. "Because I knew that Fujimura-Sensei will doing something embarassing like that in front a lot of people without feel ashamed at all."

"Senpai, Tohsaka-Senpai, are you sure that was a good thing to let Fujimura-Sensei doing a sparring with Saber-san?" Asked Sakura who was busy cleaning the plate in the sink after all this time she only in silent because she was busy thinking about the worms inside her body that suddenly active. "Because I knew for sure that Fujimura-Sensei was never holding back her power even in a duel."

"You don't have to worry about that problem Sakura," Shirou said in a calm tone. "Because I know for sure that Saber is much more stronger that Fuji-Nee, so there is no way for her to be defeated by Fuji-Nee that was truly impossible."

"Hey Saber how strong Fujimura-Sensei if she was compared to you?" Asked Rin. "I'm fell curious about it, because from the gossip that I heard about her Fujimura-Sensei is quite strong in kendo."

"Hmm? I cannot tell how strong she really is in kendo," Saber replied while camly drinking a tea. "But I from her body movement, I can see that she was not an amateur in martial arts. So I think she was quite strong."

"Yeah, you were right, Saber," Shirou said with a sigh. "Fujimura-Sensei was not an amateur martial arts, because she already have a kendo training from she was a little girls."

When the dinner is over and all the plate already clean, Saber is going to the dojo because the dojo is her favorite places in Emiya Residence that can make her heart feel calm. While Rin go to spare room that was become her personal room for the last two days to take a rest because she feel a bit tired.

And Shirou was ready to going out to send Sakura back home, because there is no way that Shirou would let Sakura going home alone by herself.

But weirdly Sakura said to Shirou that she didn't want to going home, tonight. Because she and her adopted grandfather Zouken had a little fight, so she ask Shirou are he will let her to stay overnight at the Emiya Residence.

The scene when Sakura asking to stay overnight at the Emiya Residence just like a deja vu for Shirou.

Because in his past life he already seeing the same scene, even though this time is a little different.

"Senpai, why did you suddenly silent like that?" Asked Sakura who feel worried about Shirou. "And why there is a tears that pouring down from your eyes?"

"Hah? Oh this?" Shirou said while wiping the tears in his faces. "Sorry Sakura, I was remembering something that made me sad. That's why there is tears in my faces, because the memories that suddenly appear in my mind making me feel a bit sad. Sorry if I made you feel worried about me.

In the next day, inside the dojo of Emiya Residence. Taiga already wearing her kendo uniform while bringing her most beloved cursed wooden sword Tora Shiinai. Who full of blood lust to the point making Saber who only holding an ordinary wooden sword feel a shiver.

"Ahahahaha are you ready to fight the tigress of Fuyuki, Saber-san?" Asked Taiga who already in kendo basic stance.

"I'm ready," Answered Saber who was in the same stance as Taiga. "Attack me, wherever you ready, Fujimura-Sensei."

Without giving a warning, Taiga dashing to Saber from the front and then moving her Tora-Shinai with an above average speed that will be hard to see for ordinary human. But for a Servant like Saber, Taiga. movement was not impressive and full of useless movement. So Saber easily avoiding Taiga attack that try to stab her right on the chest.

And as a counter attack Saber try to hit, Taiga hand with a minimal power. So Taiga will let go her Tora Shiinai. But Taiga instinct who are like a wild animal was something that Saber that didn't expect at all.

So Saber attack can be avoided by Taiga even though it only barely. And beside that, Taiga also made a counter attack by trying to hit Saber head from the front.

But sadly, because Taiga attack was like a slow motion in front of Saber eyes. She easily avoiding it and then hit Tiga shoulder with minimal effort that made Taiga hand let go of the Tora Shinai.

"Fuji-Nee is lose! The winner of this sparring match was Saber," Shirou said who act as a referee.

"Damnit, I'm lose againts my student at school," Taiga said who look disappointed because she was lose againts Saber. "You are really tough and have a great talent in kendo, Saber. It has been awhile since I fought someone who was as tough as you!"

"You also are very talented in Kendo, Fujimura-Sensei," Saber said with a sigh. "But I think you didn't have a lot training in kendo for years Because of your job. Because your movement even though it look good, but a little bit stiff and rigid and that's why I can win againts someone that was a strong as you."

"So you can see my stiffness with only a glance huh? Damn this is really embarassing, because my weakness was get caught by my student," Taiga said. with a blushing faces. "Yeah you were right, it has been awhile since I did a kendo training. So my body was have some issue doing some move."

"Well that's because Fuji-Nee is too lazy to do a training," Shirou said with a sigh. "In the kyudo club all you do was only sitting inside a kotatsu and you only giving some advice to the club member if you have a mood. And that's why you lose againts Saber all of that because you are so lazy to do something useful for your body, Fuji-Nee."
