Basically as the title says, this fic will be a spin-off or kinda like the anime/manga/visual novel, Fate/Stay Night by TYPE-MOON. I'll be fixing things here and there and make it a little interesting, at least for me. Figure out who the main character is. Though I won't give ya any time to think! MUAHAHAHAHA!
[Prologue]
With the moonlight shining upon us, I see a girl in front of me. She appeared out of nowhere and saved me from danger. Her face is beautiful. So beautiful that I thought an angel has descended upon this world. The girl looked at me, with no emotions written on her face. Without any lingering feelings left. She looked into my eyes as I was sitting on the ground, still stunned by what happened before me.
Her black shoulder-length hair sways by the wind that was passing by. Her armor shining brightly by the moonlight that shone. Her whole figure was magnificently outshadows the beauty of the moon. Nothing else could describe what I felt at that time. Her hand holding an object but I can't quite make up what it is. I could tell that she was taller than me, prettier than me. Her eyes are sucking my entire soul into her. Finally, after a few seconds which felt like an eternity to me, she opened her mouth.
"Tell me, are you my master?"
[Prologue End]

Eh Acchan as Saber? I always imagine Takamina as Saber class in my mind XD
-
Is it WMatsui?? With Rena as Saber XD
-
...Acchan? Paruru? Eh??? so vague...
if I knew who played Shiro then it would be easier~~
somehow, I've seen the opening scene so many times~~
hrm, but it makes me sad... thinking about it...
Fate/ Stay Night = Someone's gotta die cuz it's the freaking holy grail war~
curious on what route you're gonna go for...

-
Ekusukaribā!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah I like that attack.....
Waiting for your next update XD XD XD
-
big chances of AtsuMina/ AtsuYuu .... yeah. BIG REALLY BIG CHANCE! :heart: :heart: :heart: :wriggly: :mon inluv:
-
Yuki, eh? Seriously??? What makes you think that it's Acchan? O.O''
olive, I think Jurina fits as Saber more than Rena. Rena's probably more of a Berserker class
Shinoki, I don't know myself which route I'd take, since I didn't finish the VN yet. I'm probably gonna think of an ending like the Heaven's Feel and summon up Avenger in the late chapters
kenjoy, I'll do my best~! But I think most people watched Fate/Stay Night already... It's gonna be hard to surprise them.
DiVA, hai hai... I was thinking of posting Chapter 1 around 3 more days but I guess I'll make it quicker ^^''
kazan, that's what my heart tells me! But my mind speaks elsewhere.
cisda, who's the servant who's the master... Lol XD S&M
Dieyg, how'd you realize my OTP is AtsuYuu?! OAO''
Last-Cross, EKUSUKARIBA!!!! But I like the guy who dies first better~ (referring to the blue thighs man) GAY BOLG!! LoL XD
imteedee, eh? What makes you say that? O.O''
Okay... How did people find out I was going for AtsuYuu route??? Dem...
Anyways, for people who already watched/read/played F/SN, please don't spoil... If there is some spoilers, then I'll have to change the story's direction. And that's hard for a newbie...
The characters will be thought up at random, and unlike the story, Saber and the main character won't have any romantic feelings for each other. They'll be friends, comrades and even family. But that's it. Oh, probably most of the Master and Servant won't hold romantic feelings for each other either.
For anyone that wants the two to lovey dovey and all, there'll be some service. No romantic feelings though.
[Chapter 1 part 1 -Curiosity almost killed the mice-]
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
My digital alarm clock rang across my room. My head feels heavy and I couldn't even lift a finger. It's not that I can't, actually. I'm just too lazy. Too lazy to even breathe. But still, I have school. So I eventually got up.
I stretched out, and punched the wall, hoping that it would wake me up. What came is the pain in my fist. Why did I even do that?
Because it was already too late for me, I only washed my face, and a few parts, which I can't say since it's too embarrassing. Then I wore my school uniform. I hate this uniform... It didn't look too cute. I wanted to change my outfit a bit, but I have to take care of my image.
I looked at the mirror, stunned by my own beauty.
"AH, why am I so beautiful~?"
I complimented myself and did a few poses. I know that this might make me sound like a narcissist, but there's no way you could find a beauty as beautiful as me. There IS my best friend, but her weird dog-like charm and my cute beauty are on different genres.
"Mayuyu~" speak of the devil, there's my best friend coming in my room like it's natural and suddenly hugging me from behind.
"J- Jurina? I told you to at least knock!" I protested, dissatisfied by my best friend's manners.
"Who cares about that, we're basically a couple~" she rubs her cheeks on mine, bending down since she is taller than me.
"We're not! And get off me!" I pushed her away lightly, and ran towards the kitchen
"Wait for me Mayuyu~!" I could hear her, asking me to wait but that's just a trap to make me arrive late at school. I won't be fooled!
======
"So tell me, how many times does it make already?" the teacher looked at me and my best friend angrily.
Well, who wouldn't? I blame Jurina for making me late almost every day.
"It's 60 straight days already! When are you two going to come to school early?!" she slammed my student record on the table, furious
"Actually, it's only 48 days." I protested which made her even more furious.
"I MEAN including extra classes!"
The teacher in front of me is probably the teacher that's disliked by most of the students in school. Her name is Akimoto Sayaka. But even though she's a bit aggressive and weird, she's actually very nice and always think of the students first. Plus she also tells students the truth that they don't want to hear. Even though it's hurtful, it's actually very informative. That's why I respect her the most out of all the teachers in the school. Heck, she might even be the only teacher I ever respected.
"I know you two are busy making out in the morning,-"
"Wait, we're both girls!" I cut in, not wanting her to get the wrong idea
"Who says girls can't make out~" Jurina looked at me with a sadistic grin, which made me shiver to the bones. I reminded myself to lock the doors tonight. Though it's useless since she has the keys, spare keys, backup keys and even the backup backup to the backup keys. I blame my mom for trusting her too much.
"SOCIETY!" I folded my arms, acting all high and mighty.
"It's only and excuse for society to ban homosexuality. Actually they don't mind. They even support it whole. Why'd you think there's been a decline in birth rate lately? You can find some reliable people to help you with the process. I know some people who does." Akimoto-sensei gave a thumbs up to Jurina, which she gave a thumbs up back.
I hope that society would get back into the right track...
======
I'm walking through the hallway after listening to Akimoto-sensei's lecture which lasted for about 2 hours. I got some information though. The school's gate is closed at 8.30 AM. Recess starts at 12 PM sharp. I could hear the bell sounding the start of recess. Here's a question. What is the time which I got to school?
Anyways, I went to the machine at the school's yard and bought an apple juice. I like apple juice. I ran towards class and accidentally bumped into a girl when I almost reached the class door. It was the school's number 2 idol. She got up, bowed at me and walked away, probably to the cafeteria or the toilet.
I envy that girl. She's just naturally popular. Her long hair is smooth and silky, she's funny and of course, she's kind-hearted. Though there are rumors of her actually being cruel and insane. I'm not surprised even if she is. I mean, I'm like that as well.
"Mayuyu~" a familiar girl hugged me from behind. This is the second time today...
"Jurina, we're at school..." I sighed and entered class, with her still hugging me from behind.
"Ah! It's Watanabe-sama~ She's being hugged by Jurina-chan again~" some girls went fangirling over Jurina's behavior and actions towards me. I don't know why the call me with a -sama, though. Probably because they think I'm rich.
======
School's finally out but I didn't see Jurina anywhere. Usually she would drag me home or follow me like a faithful dog but this time, she's not around. I let loose because everyone else left. The only ones left in the class is me and some black cat which is sitting on the teacher's desk. There's a white cat staring at it from the window. The black cat realized the white cat was staring at him/her and quickly towards the door. The white cat coolly walked away from the window. It made me feel a little weird and scared...
"Oh, forgot."
I quickly left class and headed to the store room. I didn't see anyone during my walk, so I assumed everyone in school already left. I reached the store room and found some wood from a broken stool's leg. I took it and focused on it. I thought of a material, hard enough, which is metal. When I closed my eyes, I felt my energy lessen and became a little tired. I fought my drowsiness and stood up. I found a saw so I grabbed it and started to try and cut the wood.
It didn't get cut at all. So I took the wood and left the store room to take care of some gang that's taking over the area.
Actually, I have a weird ability. When I focus hard enough, I could change the property of an object. Like, say that I took a piece of paper. If I focus hard enough, I could change it into metal. It doesn't mean that the shape, size or color would change. It's just the hardness and durability of the object. I'd say that it's pretty useful. And kind of weird. Nobody knew about my power except my deceased dad, Akimoto Yasushi. No, he isn't related to Akimoto Sayaka.
When I reached the gate, I could hear people shouting. I quickly ran towards that direction.
What I saw, made me speechless.
I was hiding myself near the bench of the courtyard. In the middle of it, I could see two girls. One of them is a short squirrel-like girl, holding twin swords. Black and white. Which looked like Yin and Yang of the Chinese philosophy. The other girl is a short-haired girl. Taller than her. Taller than me. She was holding a long object. It was a lance... No, a spear.
She looked at the squirrel-like girl with killing intent. Even though she was smiling.
======
"Archer, archer. No, or should I call you by your last generation name, Yu-ko?" the short haired girl smiled, as she asked the other girl.
"Stop calling me by that name, Sae. It brings me bad memories." she slashes nothing and breathes deeply
"So, is that your new master over there?" the girl named 'Sae' looked at a tree, probably beside it. I see a figure there but I can't see her face clearly.
"Yeah, I'm pretty proud of her. She's kinda stupid but smart at the same time. So where's your master, Sae?"
"My master's drinking tea at home and leaving all the hard work to me. What a lazy master. Though she's very pretty~" she rubs her chin and makes a perverted face.
After that, the 'Sae' girl suddenly turned serious and readied her spear. The 'Yuko' girl is looking at her smiling, but even I could tell that she's in trouble. Something around the Sae girl is overwhelming. I don't know if it's aura or heat or something but I needed to do something.
"AH!" without thinking, I let out a shocked voice. It made both of them turn their heads towards me. I couldn't do anything but run now.
======
I was lying in the hallway, blood coming out of my stomach. I knew that it was critical but I can't move even a single part of my body. I can't do anything. Only my consciousness is left. After they realized that I was there, I quickly ran into school to hide but the girl with the spear found me quickly and eventually stabbed me, saying 'Sorry' then disappeared.
I heard some footsteps coming towards me. I recognize the figure.
"Why... are you here...?" I could tell she's crying. "Why is it you...?" she bent down and placed her hand on my cheeks. She looked at her necklace which she always wore and took it. She opened it and poured the water from it into my mouth. The water eventually reached my digestion system. She smiled at me, with tears still in her eyes. "Please... live..." she said her last words and left.
With the last bit of consciousness I have, I managed to mutter her name "Ju... ri... na..."
======
I realized that I was alive and my feet brought me back home. The blood that was coming out was eventually no more. It looked like I was really cured. My home is a traditional Japanese home. It's not too big but the land is wide. There's a store room and even a small pond. I sat next to the wall of the store.
My mind is still blank from what happened before. But before I could think things through,
"Yo, so you're still alive?" I saw a figure sitting near the pond, which is just a few meters in front of the store.
"Haha... It's a miracle..." I managed to laugh it off, knowing that I'd die anyways.
She only looked at me with pity and walked towards me. She raised her spear and is about to behead me.
"Goodbye."
I remembered about my life until now. It was a pretty good life. Even though it was troublesome, it's actually quite fun. Fooling around with my best friend, hanging out with my classmates, being friends with my favorite teacher. But I don't want to die yet. I want to know what it is that happened...
Though that's impossible...
"LIVE!"
I could hear a voice shouting at me. I instinctively moved my body away and avoided the spear that was about to behead me. The girl looked at me in surprised and grinned. "So you still have some strength left in you, huh? Interesting..." I ran away from her and shielded myself in the store. I know it sounds stupid but I could use it.
I shut the door and placed my hand on it. I focused and reinforced it to make it more sturdy.
"Hm? Hoo, you reinforced the door?" I could hear her from the other side
"Some trick my foster father taught me." I laid down on the wall in front of the door. I lost all of my strength thanks to that last trick.
"It's pretty sturdy but..." she kicked the door down. "Do you think I'm that stupid?" she placed her spear behind her and walked towards me.
"So, any last words?" she grinned with killing intent as she raises her spear once more.
Actually, I don't. But I want to know. I want to know what happened. I want to know why it happened. I want to know why she's involved...
"I WANT TO LIVE!!!!" I shouted at her.
Suddenly, the space turned bright, with light. I could hear metal clashing and when the light disappeared, I saw a girl.
It wasn't who I saw earlier. It's a different girl. With shoulder-length hair. She's very pretty. Even more than me... She was holding something...
"Tell me, are you my master?" she asked me and looked into my eyes.
I didn't know what she meant by master but I nodded anyway, still captivated by her beauty.
She smiled a bit and continued "Very well then. I am the Saber-class servant. My generation name is Maeda Atsuko. I'm counting on you to help me get to the top, Master." Still smiling, she turned around.
I saw the previous girl on the ground. Trying to get up with her spear.
"Y- Yo, Atsuko. Glad you made it safely." she winked at the girl in armor, Maeda, trying to get up.
"Hey, Sae. Did everyone get summoned already?" Maeda asked her, not moving from her position.
"Yeah, you're the last one. Now the war can finally begin." she got up and readied her spear.
"I see..." Maeda tightened her grip and dashed towards the other girl.
It ended in a second. The 'Sae' girl was lying on the ground again. She grinned and then disappeared out of thin air.
"Tch. So her Master was around." I could hear like the wind surrounding whatever was on her hand and then spread apart. Maeda turned around and walked towards me then took her hand out, that was holding something.
"Need a hand?" she asked with a smile.
I took her hand and got up with her help.
"There's some things I needed to ask..." I looked at her. She was still smiling.
"Not now... There's some other guests here."
She dashed towards the wall of the house area and climbed it. I realized what she meant and quickly went outside as well. When I reached her. I could see a small girl, with her back on the wall. There's also Maeda, facing another girl I'm quite familiar with.
"JURINA!" I shouted and stepped between her and Maeda.
"Hm? What are you doing, Master?" she asked, as if clueless.
"No, that's what I'm asking you... No, what WILL you do to her?" I looked at Maeda straight in the eyes.
"You still don't know what we're doing, Master?" she glared at me, as if the answer is obvious.
"Huh?" I was the clueless one then.
"Hah. You got yourself a clueless master there, Acchan." the squirrel-like girl laughed even though she was badly beaten.
"Tell you what, Saber..." Jurina got up and looked at Maeda.
"I'll tell her everything, so spare me for now..." her eyes are different from usual. She's more serious...
"It's a good deal, Acchan." the squirrel-like girl got up and looked at Maeda.
I looked at Maeda as well. Pleading her with my eyes. "I'm asking you for this as well, Maeda... No... Atsuko..."
After a few seconds, Maeda eventually smiled again and answered "As you wish."

Wait, what?! Mayuyu as shiro XD and Jurina for Rin?
And Yuuko as archer, I'd always imagined her as Rider haha, her speed and agility match Rider more imo, but well this story is yours hehe.
And lancer sae!
As for the guess of Acchan being saber.... who else fits the definition of 'black shoulder-length hair' XD
-
such a shocking development...
mayu gets shiro's role?
wow... Sae as Lancer?? And Yuko as Archer nod nod... Acchan as Saber??
...Jurina as Rin is shocking... ah, the tsundere character of FSN goes bye bye~
Truthfully, everytime I tried playing the VN, I got bored within 2 minutes, so I never bothered saving and it took me forever to even get anywhere and then I gave up on it... do your best with playing it~~
-
Mayu as Shiro? and Acchan as Saber, huh??
Yeah, you're right... Rena is more fit as Berserker.. :D
Wonder who will be Gilgamesh though..
-
I'm going to have to watch the series now. This is INTERESTING!!!!!!!! :twothumbs
-
Ashura - Told ya! Going to surprise everyone there! Me too, you surprised me! Ahaha :oops:
Yeah you're right majority watched the anime already..
Don't worry you can manage it.. :fap And i think everyone already know AtsuYuu is your OTP.. :oops: Teehee :P
I know you were going for Acchan as Saber but for Shiro.. Surprise! :w00t:
Nice characters arrangement.. Looking forward for more! :thumbsup
Thank you for the update :bow: :twothumbs
-
If your intention is AtsuYuko, guess this is turning to either UBW or HF route, or even a mix of both. Well F route is kinda disappointed to me anyway since nothing is solved.
I'm guessing Yukirin is Sakura? Or even Rena (considering J is Rin). If you're not a Mayuki shipper...I can see alot of possibility of who is Sakura.
To be honest though, Mayu fits more as Rin, with the twintail and being Miss. Know-it-all. XD
While J should be Shirou, with her being all clueless about everything, yet she's straight forward and face everything head-on.
I was seriously thinking Takamina was Shirou as they have this 'I must be the hero' feel and that Saber is Acchan (based on the prologue) but I'm glad she's not cuz it's too normal and predictable that way.
Your choice of characters are interesting. Weird, but interesting. ^^
I was a big fan of FS/N back then so I was surprised to see it here. XD
-
I really Enjoyed that :twothumbs
It made me laugh alot :lol:
Sae! :wub: :inlove: :drool:
Sayaka O0 :pimp: :cathappy:
if all characters are going to be coupled...I wonder who Sae is with/will fall in love with... :?
I kinda hope it's Yuki...Or Sayaka :w00t:
Can't wait for your next part :panic:
-
Wow! A Fate/Stay Night based fiction! You don't know how much I love TYPE-MOON's work, LOL. So for someone to write it on the Fate series with the 48 members is pretty wicked. :grin: I honestly expected Takamina to be Shiro and Acchan to be Saber, but I guessed wrong. My kami-oshi to be in Shiro's role adds a plus to the story. :love: So Yuko is Archer, Sae is Lancer, Jurina is Rin... Hoho... This is getting pretty interesting. :cathappy:
God I'm fangirling over this. My TYPE-MOON fangirlism side is coming out, LOL. Anyway, ignoring that, I look forward to future updates on this series! :deco:
-
As for the guess of Acchan being saber.... who else fits the definition of 'black shoulder-length hair' XD
:pig madder:
okay i"m gonna camp here :on drink: :mon brush: :heart: :on roll:
I don't now why I was playing "may's 永遠" while reading and I felt happy about everything :mon roll:
-
Nyahaha...How i know your OTP? Your avatar say it all Ashura-san!~!~ Eheh~
:P :) :yep:
~But hey! Mayuyu as Shiro?! I really thought that it is Yuko but hell! It is interesting!~!~
:theking :twothumbs :D
~Hm...Acchan is the saber, Yuko archer...Sae as lancer...(I forgot the rest of the character...)
XD :lol: :twisted:
~Actually i haven't get the chance to watch it till the end...F/SN i mean...*sigh*
:smhid :shocked :cry:
~Well anyway, the story is really interesting here...Gonna wait for what'll happen next...
:w00t: :D :yep:
~Pls update soon Ashura-san, i really can't wait for the next update...Yeah!~!~!~
:twothumbs :thumbsup :bow:
-
At first, when i first saw the prologue, i thought it will be boring, but the story was not bad as you had change some scene... or maybe it is because you write my favorite oshiman inside ><
Please update soon, will be waiting for the next chapter :thumbsup :bow:
-
Yuki, I'm just doing what I can to fit the story in my head. And yeah, I guess you're right bout the black shoulder-length hair~ Poor Paruru
Shinoki, I was actually thinking of using Yukirin's tsuntsun for Rin before. I mean, YukiRIN XD
olive, and there goes the spoiler *facepalm*
TT, watch it~ It's pretty interesting~ Though dark at the same time *shivers*
kenjoy, yay~ Praise me XD
Sherin, trust me, there's a reason I'm choosing each of them as their roles. Though half of it is for my selfishness~ XD And I'm not much of a MaYuki shipper. There's a slight chance I'm using MaYuki in this fic though >:D And no I'm not sure if I'll use AtsuYuu in this fic yet
DiVA, Sae's partner? Wait, Sae's supposed to have a harem XD
Flutist, I thought of it ever since I got half-way through my other fiction, Unwanted Feelings. I had time left and my other fiction's progress is really slow (since I can't think of anything besides mages, swords and fights) so I decided to just write it and see if I could do it~
imteedee, thanks~ Hope ya won't find it boring though >w>
Dieyg, ah... My avatar... Dem... Phew. At least I have someone who didn't finish yet to surprise them~
qweakb, thanks~ At least my change of scenes seemed interesting to some people other than me~ XD
Thanks for the support and feedback. I guess I'll finish the first chapter now. It will explain what's actually going on. People who already watched the series and would want to continue reading should read this as well... Since I'm going to change the interior of the war itself and the past. Sorry TYPE-MOON!
[Chapter 1 Part II - The Goddess and The Angel]
I'm walking through the rain, with three other people. One is my best friend which I have known for years, one is my new friend and companion who saved me from death and the other one is a short girl, happily making out with my new comrade. Jurina and I are wearing raincoats. Since we only have two, we gave an umbrella we found to the other girls. At first, Maeda didn't want to impose but because of the small girl's smile and negotiating powers, Maeda gave in.
The two are clinging to each other, probably because they don't want to get wet. Actually only the small-sized girl is clinging to Maeda. Maeda isn't even trying to get close to the girl at all. I didn't want to question them until I reach my destination so I kept quiet. The air around us was silent.
We reach our destination after a few minutes of walking and it is...
"School?" I asked my best friend, since I thought it was supposed to be some other place, like a church or something.
"Yeah, follow me." she walked ahead, so I followed her, along with Maeda and the other girl.
We kept walking until we reach a room. If I remember correctly, the room is The Second Science Lab. She opened the door and went in. So I followed.
"Oh, Fancy meeting you here, Jurina." A girl spoke.
It's the teacher I respect the most, Akimoto Sayaka. She's sitting on a chair, reading some book.
"And nice meeting you too, Mayu." she smiles at me. I'm unaffected though. I just look at her, wanting to know what exactly is going on and why Jurina led me to this place to meet her.
"Could you please get on with it? I don't think I could hold Yuko clinging to me any longer." Maeda glared at Akimoto-sensei while pointing at the girl beside her, still clinging to her.
"Eh? Why?! I thought Acchan loves Yuko's energy deployment!" The girl called Yuko gasps and fakes fainting, falling to the ground dramatically. It's annoying.
"Easy there, Saber, Archer. Mayu's looking at you weirdly." Akimoto-sensei took some seats and offered them to us.
We sit down on the seats. Akimoto-sensei is at the teacher's desk, in front of her are me and Jurina, followed by Maeda and Yuko.
"Okay, what do you want to ask, Mayu?" she asks me calmly.
I thought Jurina was the one that was supposed to explain to me but I guess this is easier. Jurina's not too good at explaining things.
"What are these two?" I pointed at the two behind me. Maeda was shocked while Yuko was trying to hold her laughter in.
"I see... So you've seen them in action already... Haven't Saber told you who she really is?" she asks me.
"She only said something bout her being Saber-class and her name is Maeda Atsuko. That and the fact that I'm her 'master'?" I ended the answer with a question intentionally. Wanting to know what it really means.
"Truth be told, I'm going to have to tell you what's actually going on first." Akimoto-sensei looked at me directly. Before, she was closing her eyes. I nodded, signalling her to continue.
"Long ago,-"
"WAIT! I NEED TO GO THE THE BATHROOM!" Jurina stood up and raised her hand. Everyone was bewildered. Akimoto-sensei was still calm though. "Is that something to say to a teacher?" she asks her. Jurina made a disappointed face. "Eh??? Isn't it after-school hours now?" she asks, which earned a glare from Akimoto-sensei. "Er... Teacher, may I go to the bathroom?" she bowed. Akimoto-sensei nodded with a satisfied look then Jurina sprinted off to the bathroom.
"Wait, you're leaving me here?!" Yuko was shocked. "Relax, it's only a few meters to the bathroom. Jurina's not stupid enough to just leave you like that." Akimoto-sensei explained to Yuko and finally looked at me. "Now..."
"Long ago there was a legend. A legend which involves a war for a wish."
"Aladdin and the Magic-" "No." she answered instantly, not giving me the time to finish my sentence.
"It's the Holy Grail War. The war involved beings called 'magus' fighting each other for the right to earn the wish from the holy object, the Holy Grail."
"Ah~" I just tilted my head to the side, got up and sat on Maeda's lap.
"Huh? What's wrong, Master?" Maeda asks me, confused.
"Nothing. Carry on, sensei." I nod triumphantly, knowing that Maeda's lap is soft. I could feel a glare from my side, though. Probably my imagination.
"Well, the magus are beings that knows how to use 'magic', as you call it." I nodded and thought about my Reinforce power. "So do you know how to use magic?" she asks me and I nodded, not caring if my secret is out. She then continues "Because of their abilities, the Holy Grail War also involves another thing..."
"Summoning." Jurina comes in the room and finished Akimoto-sensei's sentence. "A servant is summoned by each magus. That's the whole core of the War." she adds again, sitting back to her seat.
"As Jurina said, each magus will summon a servant. The magus will obtain a master-servant bond with the servant and their life depends on one another." Akimoto-sensei further explains.
"Then... that means I'm the master of Maeda-san here?" I touch Maeda's cheeks, making her more curious.
"Yes... As for the servants, there are seven classes for each of them. Or should I say, type." she got up and wrote something on the blackboard.
What she wrote is, 'Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Assassin, Caster, Berserker'.
"Saber as in Maeda and Archer as in... this girl?" I point at the girl sitting next to me and Maeda, Yuko.
"Nice deduction. Yes, Maeda is in the Saber-Class and Oshima is in the Archer-class." Akimoto nods. "Furthermore, a servant is basically a reincarnation of a hero of the past from another world." Maeda added.
"Huh? Hero? Another world?" I was lost as I looked at Maeda. She explains. "All of the servants were actually heroes in their past lives before they died. The heroes came from different worlds, time lines, and even realm. Heroes who aren't satisfied with their lives were summoned to participate in a Holy Grail War. Yuko and I were summoned in the last war."
"Though you can't call that a war at all." Yuko, who was silent, added.
"What do you mean?" I asked, curious of Yuko's last sentence.
"Well, in the last war, we had to fight in a new way." Maeda says with a wry smile.
"New way?"
"Yeah, we were idols." she scratched her cheeks shyly.
"EHHHHHH!?" I was bewildered. Jurina was as well. "You mean, idols? As in singing, dancing and stuff?!" Jurina's eyes shone, curiously. "You don't know that as well, Jurina?" I asked my best friend which got involved in this earlier than me. "Well, I only summoned Yuko last night so I didn't know."
"Well, it was tough. It was a battle of who can stand as an Idol longest. I was the first one that withdrew though, so I don't know who won." Maeda explained. "Me neither. I withdrew right before two others so I don't know who won as well." Yuko explains as well.
"We got our names in the last battle. Thus, the last generation name. The other heroes participated as well, but didn't know that it was actually the Holy Grail War."
"So, Maeda Atsuko wasn't your hero name?" I ask Maeda. She nods which means my guess was right. I decided to ask her later what hero she was in the past and what her name was since there's Jurina here with her servant. Plus Akimoto-sensei, who is sleeping. "WAIT, why is she sleeping?!" I pointed at Akimoto-sensei and the others just shook their heads.
We left the school and are on the way to my and Jurina's house. We live together. The rain stopped so we carried our raincoats. Yuko is still clinging to Maeda even though there's no rain anymore.
"Well, I'll explain it for now." Yuko suddenly said, not letting go of Maeda. "There are seven servants and seven masters. When a servant dies, they die. When a master dies, they both die. The last remaining master will receive the Holy Grail which can be used to grant one wish. The wish can be made by the Master or servant. Once won, the war will be over. And when I say they die, they die. That's the gist of it."
"There's also a proof that you are a master." Maeda added. "You mean this?" I showed her my left hand which suddenly had a tattoo.
(http://www.awx.co.za/site/image/f/|images|products|00087|AWXMER101794.jpg)
"Yeah, that." she nodded. "There are three discontinued lines or strokes on that mark. Using one line, a master can order the servant to do ANYTHING and the servant WILL obey it." she continued.
"You mean I could use this only three times?" I asked her. "Yeah." Jurina was the one that answered. "You could use this to summon a servant out of thin air when the servant is far away." she added.
"So you need to use this wisely, huh?" I look at that mark on my hand. "If you use that to touch Acchan, I'll kill you, even if Acchan IS your servant." Yuko glares at me. I'm dumbfounded. Maeda only sighs.
We reached our house after Jurina promised to tell me about everything some other time. I could feel that Maeda doesn't really like it if I depend on them too much but I believe in Jurina. Even if she makes me mad or pissed sometimes, she's still my best friend.
We enter our house with the two servants. "AH! This is going to be our love nest, Acchan!" Yuko drools and hugs the taller girl. Maeda rolled her eyes and ignored the shorter girl.
"So..." We sat in the living room to discuss what to do.
"What are you two's relationship?" I ask Maeda and Yuko. "Acquaintances." "Lovers~" the two answered differently at the same time. You could figure out who answered which.
"Wait, we aren't even friends?!" Yuko acted shock at Maeda. "Anyways, Master, should I just call you Mayuyu?" Maeda asks me. "Wait, I don't believe I ever mentioned my nickname." I look at her, surprised.
"You know I was an Idol in the last war, right? Watanabe Mayu and Matsui Jurina are idols as well at that time." Then the shock came too. "EH?! ME AN IDOL?!" I sat up, shock. "So I was an idol as well... THAT'S AWESOME!!!" Jurina pumped her fist in the air.
"Even though they're your alternate other selves from another world, you two are really similar to them." Maeda chuckled, which made my heart skip a beat. Wait, why?
"Well let's just introduce ourselves since we're basically called it truce and all and you two don't know OUR relationship." Jurina pointed at me and her and changed the conversation. I nodded, approving of the truce.
"Matsui Jurina, best friend of Watanabe Mayu. Last descendent of the Tohsaka clan. Master of Archer. Call me Jurina." She completed her introduction but I never knew that she's a descendent of a clan... "Matsui and Tohsaka?" Maeda asked. "Matsui is my mother's original last name. My father named me Matsui and taught me magic since I was little. Mayuyu never found out I practiced magic every day in the kitchen, though." Jurina mentioned the place I hate the most. The deadly kitchen. I will never set foot in there. RiP Mayuyu Cooking.
"Then, Oshima Yuko, Archer class, servant of Matsui Jurina. Hero name's a secret~ Maeda Atsuko's girlfriend~" "Not" Maeda cut in. "Err... You can call me Yuko or Yuu-chan or whatever. Whichever works." she ended her intro so I ask her "Are you in love with Maeda?" "YES!" She quickly got up, pumped her fist and hugged Maeda. I could tell Maeda doesn't feel the same way though. I feel relieved. Wait, WHY?!
"Ah," I realized it's my turn. "Watanabe Mayu. childhood friend of Matsui Jurina. Since it was about clans then I guess I'm in the Akimoto clan or something?" I remembered that my deceased foster father, Akimoto Yasushi. taught me the reinforce spell. "Ah, pops. Good times, good times." Jurina nods her head as she remembered. "Well, you can call me Mayuyu..." I glance at Maeda as she gives me a smile.
"Maeda Atsuko. Saber Class. Servant of Watanabe Mayu. Known Yuko in the last grail war. Guess you could call us best friends if you like." She blushes a bit and averts her eyes from Yuko's smile. WHY?! "I was called Acchan in the last war so call me that if you like." she ends her intro as well. "Are you in love with Oshima Yuko?" THANK YOU JURINA FOR ASKING!!! "No." she blushed redder and looked away again. Argh, get a room already!
I decided to continue with everything tomorrow since it's almost midnight. So I went to my room. Acchan followed me.
"Err. Acchan, right? Why are you following me?" I asked her.
"Hm? Of course because I want to sleep as well." she said,
"I know, but your bedroom's with Yuko..."
"Never. I'll sleep with you, Mayuyu. Who knows what will happen if you sleep alone during the war and I'm not there by your side." she states as if it was obvious.
"Fine by me" I sighed and entered my room. It was... Plain... And of course a mess...
I went to bed and Acchan entered as well.
"Sleeping in one bed? Seriously?" I teased her a bit
"Just think of me as your older sister." she hugged me from behind and placed her chin on top of my head in the bed.
"Good night." she says. The lights are already off. Since we didn't even turn it on.
"Good night..."
With that, as if it had been a long time, I felt a gentle warmth not of an older sister, but of a mother... It kept everything that happened before gone and I slept with that warmth.
[Chapter 1 : The day 'Normal' became 'Real' END]

I have to finish this chap first... This will introduce the first enemy(s).
[Chapter 2 Part I - Mouse Trap]
I woke up from slumber without any loud ringing noises or energetic dogs around me, which is rare. All I could feel is this warmth... The warmth, gentleness and softness of my partner... Though 90% of the softness came from her breasts. They were really soft~ Softer than what I felt from Jurina's hugs. So... soft...
"Mayuyu?" the girl spoke, rubbing her eyes. I woke her up. Bad Mayuyu! "Good morning, Acchan." I smiled at her, even though my heart was going crazy from seeing such a beautiful angel in front of me just as I woke up. "Umm, Mayuyu..." she looked at me, puzzled. "What is it?" I asked in the most delightful and innocent way possible. "I know I said to treat me like an older sister, but..." she continued, "Don't you think rubbing my breasts in the morning is a little too much?"
"Ah." I realized my hand (and face) was still on her breasts. I got up quickly and apologized. She only gave me a light chop on the head and a teasing smile. How I wished that I really have an older sister like her (says the author).
I told her to go take a bath first since I wanted to look at some things first and she obeyed. When I went to the dining room, I see Yuko drop dead on the floor.
"What are you doing?" I asked her, since she looked weird, well, weird-ER lying dead like that. "I was trying to enter my spiritual form without Jurina's help and it ended up with me going numb. Can't. Move." so she says, with her face still planted on the floor. "Huh? Spirit form?" I asked her the word I don't yet understand. Then my best friend finally came out from the kitchen. "I didn't explain it to you yet, right?" she asked me and I nodded.
"Servants were actually in spiritual forms before they came here. They use the Master's energy to create the body that they have right now. The Master could also change their servant's state whenever they like. If they are in spiritual form, then nobody, not even the other servants and masters could detect them. Though it does need a tremendous amount of energy from the master." she explains it so that I could understand.
"Oh, Servants also needs some amount of energy from the master every time. So, the Master automatically shares their energy with the Servant so that it could maintain their physical form." she added. Then Yuko also joins in. "There's also something called a 'noble phantasm' which is the servant's identity. This noble phantasm can be used as the Servant's most powerful attack. So if you want to, you should ask Acchan what her noble phantasm is."
"I won't say anything though." I hear the voice of an angel behind me. Acchan is wearing a towel around her and just came out of the bath. "Oh, Acchan, smexy~" Of course, Yuko drools while watching her. After wiping my own drool, "You won't tell me, Acchan?" I asked her. "No, I'll tell you when the time comes if I have to use it, but for now, just forget about that and go to school." I looked at the clock and it's 8.15 AM. "Crap! I didn't take a bath yet!" I quickly went to shower and decided to continue this conversation some other time.
======
"Acchan! Get into spiritual form!" I told her after I got ready but she only glared at me. "I can't do it. Only the Master can. Besides, you don't even know how to do that, huh?" she teased me but well, can't blame her. I don't know anything. "Err, then I'm counting on you to watch the house!", I told her. Jurina also got ready and is about to leave.
"I wanna stay with Acchan!" Yuko pouted and complains at Jurina. "No, you know it's going to be hard if you're not by the Master's side! Besides, we're going to continue from yesterday, right?" she looked at Yuko who was throwing a tantrum. "Ah, you can handle that yourself, Jurina! Good luck!" she gave a thumbs up to the girl and Jurina could only facepalm.
"Yuko, I'm counting on you to protect both Jurina AND Mayuyu. So, please." Acchan speaks calmly to the short girl and the girl blushed. "W- Well, if it's for Acchan, then I guess it's okay..." she looked somewhere else, trying to hide her blush. "You listen to another servant's request and not your own Master?!" and now Jurina's mad.
"Mayuyu." Acchan looked at me seriously this time. "When you're in trouble, even if it's only your imagination or anything, remember to wish hard inside your heart and order me to come to you." she reminds me of what I needed to do and I nodded, even though I have no idea if that would help or not.
"We're going then, Acchan~" we waved our hands at her and "Have a safe trip" she returned it with her angelic smile.
======
We walked to school even though we know we're already late. We're used to it. "Yuko, what are we like when in the past war?" I asked her, curious as to what my alternate self was like. "Erm, not much different than how you two are now, but I guess, Aura?" she told us something we don't even understand. "I don't know... It's hard to explain..."
As we passed through the school gate, which was left open, I felt something wrong. "What is it?" Jurina asked me as I stopped my tracks and looked at my surroundings. I felt like I was going to vomit. "Something feels wrong..." I said to her and she smiled. "So you realized it as well?" she says and looked at where Yuko was standing. She disappeared. Probably due to her changing into spiritual form.
"Look above us." she says so I looked up and saw some sort of crack in the sky. "Eh?! The sky is falling?!" I was shocked. "No, there's an incomplete barrier set around the school." she says as we walked to our class. "Do you know how Servants get energy without the help of the Master?" she asked me a difficult question. "Err... Souls?" I answered what I think and she was surprised. "Whoa, you got it right!" she gave me a thumbs up but I was silent then.
"Servants eat human souls?" I asked her for confirmation. "Yeah. That's the only alternate way for them to get energy. The more energy they have, the more powerful they become." she explains to me. "The barrier set around this school is to take the souls of the people inside it. It's still incomplete, but when it is, who knows what will happen."
"But... Eating souls... That's just sick... Who would be sick enough to do that...?" I asked particularly no one but Jurina smiled and pulled me towards her. "That's why I like you, Mayuyu. I knew you'd never think of ever doing that." I could feel myself blushing and a certain squirrel laughing.
"Is there a way for us to stop what they're doing?" I asked her and she shook her head. "Unless you kill the one who did this, no." she continues, "But, we could stall it."
======
After school, we found some symbols drawn on the wall, floor and ceilings, and Jurina erased them using some spell. After a few times, the air became much more calmer than it was before. I didn't do anything much except for giving her some mental support. Yuko is searching for other marks around the school.
"Ah, that was tiring." Jurina collapsed on the bench in the courtyard. I took the ice tea I just bought from the vending machine and gave it to her. She happily accepts it. "Wah, the Master must be an idiot for putting the marks out in the open like that." she criticizes the one who set up the barrier. I'm also angry at what that person is trying to do.
"I need to get Yuko. Wait for me here, Mayuyu." she told me so I just reluctantly obeyed since she's the one that did all the work. She left to search for Yuko.
I took a look at the sky. It was red, not because of the sunset, but because of the barrier that's covering the school. To think there are people stupid enough to kill innocent people just to get what they want. That's sick. Though... I have no right to judge them... Since I was basically the same as them when I was a child...
Suddenly I heard someone coming towards me.
'It's probably Yuko.'
When I realized it, I quickly ran away and when I looked back, I saw the bench I was splitting on, split into two. Next to it is a girl, with long brown hair and a petite mouth. She was holding something like chains.
(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130617182318/typemoon/images/thumb/4/45/Dagger.png/180px-Dagger.png)
I quickly ran away into the school to escape from her. I know that if I just stay there, I'd be dead but alas, I didn't think straight.
"I see you~" she was right behind me, using her chains like some sort of spider. She's gaining up on me, fast. If I don't do something, I'm going to die!
I entered a classroom and reinforced the door. I could hear the girl trying to cut it but it gained nothing. She laughed and peeked next to the door, the window. 'WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?!' she broke the window and entered calmly. I looked at whatever weapon I have. I took a chair I just found and quickly reinforced it.
She looked at me, amused and stepped closer towards me. But-
I threw the chair to the window behind me and jumped through it. I was on the 3rd floor so I'll probably die but-
"ACCHAN!!! COME!!!" I shouted from the top of my lungs.
When I almost reached the bottom, I felt a hand caught me and saved me. It was my servant, Saber, my comrade, Maeda Atsuko.
"See? Good job being able to call me out." She's in her armor which she usually wore, though last night she only wore some jeans and t-shirt. "Thanks for coming. You saved me..." I heaved a sigh of relief and look at the figure that's fallen splendidly to the ground. Miraculously, she wasn't hurt. Well, that's to be expected.
"Tomochin~" Acchan greeted her and the brown haired girl smiled. "Hey, Acchan. It's been a long time." she also greeted Acchan. "Still hiding your sword, I see..." she giggled and said to Acchan.
"Well, it's not like I needed to show what it looks like. How about you? I thought you needed a blinder since you were blind." Acchan joked with the girl as wel. The girl only gave a sadistic smile "Thanks to the last war, I don't need it anymore!" before I realized it, she was already in front of us. Acchan threw me behind her and blocked her attack of the daggers from her chain. She was blocking with something invisible. I don't know what it is, but I think it's her sword. Well, 'Saber'.
Acchan used her strength to push her away. Of course she was pushed away but when she was far enough, she throws the daggers at Acchan. She blocked it but the dagger changed course mid-way and managed to pierce her shoulder. "ACCHAN!" I shouted, worried for her. I'm sick of my own uselessness. I quickly went ahead and grabs the chain.
"RE-ANIMATION!" I shouted and used a spell I learned secretly while messing around with my reinforcing spell. Her chains suddenly became lighter and fragile. I chopped it and the chain got cut. The girl was stunned by what I did. "Good job, Mayuyu!" before the girl and I realized it, Acchan was already behind the brown haired girl and slashed her from the back. The girl collapsed from the attack.
"How did you even..." she looked at me in surprise and continued "I heard that you didn't know any other spells, but I guess I was wrong..." with her final words, "Goodbye." her eyes changed and I could hear Acchan calling my name and pushed me but... I couldn't move. Acchan looked at the girl but she was gone. "Mayuyu! Are you okay?!" she quickly went to me and checked my muscles. "Y- Yeah, I'm fine..."
I heard some clapping noises so I turned around and saw a girl, the girl with long black hair. The girl I envied. "You did well, Watanabe-san~" she claps her hands and looked down at me. Acchan was glaring at her, ready to make a move. I called out her name, "Kashiwagi Yuki..."
======
"Eh?! You already met Rider and her Master?!" Jurina was surprised, hearing what Acchan said. After we met Kashiwagi, she only congratulated us and walked away, laughing. I never knew she was such a black-hearted girl... "As we suspected, Rider's Tomochin." Acchan talked to Yuko, who is in her physical form. "Well, she was also a hero from the last grail. So it's not much of a surprise. But what's a surprise is..." Yuko stopped herself.
"Sorry you had to deal with Yukirin, Mayuyu." she looked at me apologetically. I asked her, "Yukirin???" she's the one that's surprised now. "Wait, you're not friends with Kashiwagi Yuki?" she asks me. "No? I only know her by name and face since she's popular but that's it."
"I see..." she nodded her head. I asked her to explain herself. "Well, in the past grail, you and Yukirin are VERY close. I mean VEEEERYYYYY!" Yuko explained, putting her hands together to show the closeness.
"Well, that's that and this is this. I'm not close at all with her... Though I wanted to be friends with her..." I said the last part softly making sure no one could hear but Acchan heard it. I knew she heard it since she pats my head and gave me a smile.
[To Be Continued]
I think most of you realized Rider's identity by now. And as for why I made her use her noble phantasm so early, It's to exchange her identity with Shiro's potential. Meaning Mayuyu gets a new spell which Shiro didn't. Oh, another thing. Yuko ain't Mayuyu in here. Though they're both perverted XD
-

Sorry for not updating! Stupid laptop!
[Chapter 2 Part II - Appearance]
"DON'T BLINK!" she shouted and in only a few mili-seconds, she got behind me and hits me with a bamboo stick. "Ouch! That hurts!" I retorted, soothing the pain. The said girl who was shorter than me sighed and offered her hand for me to get up. I took her hand and pulled her, resulting in both of us lying on the floor. The girl got a little pissed so she got on top of me and pinched my cheeks. I did the same with her and we both roll around on the floor. "How can you be so weak at sword fights?! Your servant is the well-known Saber! You should know how to support her!" she complained and got on top of me again. "It's not MY fault, Yuko! It's not like I wanted a servant like Acchan!" This time I got on top of her. "Oh really?" Someone managed to send shivers down my spine. I could see Yuko looking at whatever behind me in fear. "A- Acchan..."
"No, MASTER. Please call me SABER. Sorry for not being what you WANTED and sorry again for EVER getting summoned here." she looked down at me with the eyes of a predator. I shivered continuously as I glanced at Yuko for help. She only shook her head vigorously, not wanting to get involved. I looked back at my servant. "I- It's not what you think, Acchan..." I made some excuses but her eyes became a lot more scarier. "I'm surprised you remembered this lowly servant's name, Master. I'm SO happy." she puts on a smile which terrified me to the core. I really need to get out of this mess!
"Okay, that's enough, Acchan. You know Mayuyu's not serious about what she said before." my savior arrived, with a tray of drinks. "I know, Jurina. But it still pisses me off." she looked at Jurina with her normal expression. "Wait! Why do you look at us with some frightening stare and Jurina with a calm stare?! I don't support discrimination!" Yuko protested after we sat next to each other. I nodded beside her. "Because Jurina doesn't cause any trouble for me, unlike my EX-comrade and USELESS master." she glared down at us again. This time, Yuko and I averted our eyes from her and whistled some tunes, not wanting to hear any of Acchan's complaints. She sighed and took a glass of ice tea from the tray.
She drank the tea coolly. She gulped it down like it meant nothing, probably because of the hot weather today. But I wasn't thinking about the temperature at all. I was captivated by Acchan. She looked sexy, with her drinking like that and the beads of sweat on her shirt from her solo training. Some traces of her drink escaped from her lips and fell down, making her look dreamy. Add that and the fact that she did her hair with a ponytail, then there's no denying it. Acchan just crossed the bridge from cute and innocent angel to the cool and sexy devil.
Yuko and I looked at her, drooling. We couldn't speak a word at all. All that's in our mind is the sexy Acchan we're seeing. Acchan noticed something and glanced at our direction. It made my heart skip a beat. My face grew redder for some reason so I averted my eyes and looked at Jurina. She was looking at me as if disgusted. "Eh? What are you looking at your best friend with those eyes for...?" I asked her curious of what she's thinking. She opened her mouth to speak but then shook her head, deciding against it. She looked at Acchan and grinned. "Nee, Acchan~ Did you know that my class called me the 'Kissing devil'~?" she asks her, playfully. I was at loss for words while Acchan just smiled back.
"I know. You're really like your idol counterpart... And maybe even..." Acchan got closer to Jurina and traced her fingers on Jurina's cheeks and stopped her index finger on Jurina's lips. They looked at each other seductively. I can even see some flowers on the background even though I know it's just my delusion. "Break it up, you two!" Yuko, who was jealous of the two, pushed them lightly apart. Jurina pouted and smacks the shortest girl's head. "Ow! What was that for?!" Yuko covered her head and glared at Jurina. "You just messed up a good atmosphere there." she complained and Acchan nodded, looking dissatisfied. "Huh? Why's Acchan nodding as well?" I asked in disbelief. She only smiled at me, thus secretly saying 'You don't need to know'
======
[At school]
I was eating lunch in the classroom as per usual. All hail melon pan. Even though I don't like it much. Well, it's the only bread left from the convenience store so I had no choice. Some students were looking at me eating, squeeling but I decided to ignore it and continue eating. Suddenly everyone became quiet. I wanted to know the reason so I looked around and see a long black haired girl. She walked towards me, smiling. Everyone was holding their breaths as if captivated by the school's no.2 beauty. "Good afternoon, Watanabe-san. May I have a moment with you?" she asks me, with a smile on her face. I could recognize that smile though, since I'm already familiar with my own. It was a facade.
======
We were at the rooftop, the most popular place for love confessions. "Just so you know, Archer and Jurina followed us here." I pointed at the entrance which she gave a light chuckle to. "I already know" then she took a sat on the bench of the rooftop. I decided to just throw a fastball. "Why did you want?" I glared at her. She looked back at me and her smile faded. "I want to call a truce between us. Including the first year." she says. Jurina came towards us from her hiding spot and glared at the girl "Why would you ask of that?" she asks her.
"For assurance." she admitted and continued, "Having Saber, one of the most powerful servant and the long-ranged Archer by my side is good enough to even beat Berserker." she mentions the most powerful servant of all, Berserker.
While Saber is known for her magic resistance and sword skill, Berserker is the one with the most ridiculous strength and insane mind. It's not an exaggeration that Berserker often killed their own master because the master lacked the amount of mana, which is magical energy. With Rider's speed and Saber's skills, it's possible to take down such beast.
"Tell me, are you the one that put the barrier up?" I asked her and pointed at the sky. She smirked and answered truthfully. "Yes." Jurina almost snapped but I managed to calm her down. "Then why would you kill innocent people, just because you wanted mana?" I asked her yet again. "If it's for my goal, I don't care how many people I have to kill."
She stood up and walked to the door. "So, what is your answer?" she asked as she stopped. Well, it's pretty obvious.
"Hell no."
======
[POV : Saber]
[At some shopping district]
"Hm? So you became her servant either way?" I asked the girl in front of me who is drinking cola. "Yeah. It's not like I have a choice." she sighed and leaned on the bench. "That must have been hard for you, Tomochin." I sympathized with her, even though she is my enemy. "... Do you think your master will accept the truce?" she asked, curious. "Nope. She's not the type who would do that, even if she looked like the betraying type." I answered honestly of what I thought. "Then we're gonna have to fight each other, huh, Atsuko..." her face looked depressed. Well, I've known her in the last war and became unexpectedly close with her. She's the first friend I made between the servants.
"I won't hold back. Even if we're friends, what matters right now is the grail. I mean, I was the first one to step down in the last war. I need to win this time." I smiled at her which she returned with her cute smile as well. "Ah, I'll see you at the tallest peak." she then disappeared, meaning her master was close. I could sense my master as well so I ran towards her direction.
======
[Mayu's POV]
It was unexpected. I thought that her servant was with her but she actually wasn't. Yuko went Amok and suddenly attacked Kashiwagi. Even though it was a surprise attack, she managed to dodge it. She ran away from us so we chased her. I urged Yuko to attack her from long distance but she just ignores me, which made me kinda hurt. On our way, I felt something warm getting closer.
"Mayuyu!" the owner of the voice shouted and joined us in running. "Acchan!" I was surprised to see her in town. I thought she would be at home sleeping. "Acchan! We need to track down Yukirin's position! This might be the only chance!" Jurina shouted. Acchan caught on quick and thought carefully. "What's the place with the highest view point here?"
======
[Central Building]
"Why now of all times?" Acchan asked us as we climbed the stairs. "If we don't, then innocent lives could be lost!" I answered her as I recalled Kashiwagi's serious look when she answered my question. 'I don't care how many people I have to kill...' If that's true, then there's no telling what she would do. We reached the top and we could see two figures.
"Tch. You just HAD to come here..." the one with long black hair hissed and glared at us. I could see that Acchan is having a staring contest with Rider. "Rider... Go..." the brown-haired girl nodded and took out her chains. Yuko took out her twin swords. Acchan, on the other hand shone brightly and changed into her armor.
"Come, Maeda." she says and took out a provoking stance. Acchan smirked and was the first one to attack. Yuko didn't move, as if she wanted to respect the two's fight.
======
[POV : Saber]
Yuko didn't attack, probably because she knew that I have to do this alone. I kept attacking her with the sword but she just keeps blocking it with her chains. I couldn't cut it. If I lessen the air around the sword, revealing it's true form, then I could cut it easily but, I suppose I should only use it as a last result. I know that but... I can't keep up with her speed. She's too fast. At this rate... Then I'd have to use it...
Just as I thought that, "Ac-chan~" I heard a voice that sent shivers down my spine. I looked at the owner of the voice and was shocked. 'WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?!' she leaped up from the ground to the top of the building. Her sadistic smile is the same as always. But if she's here...
"Mariko..." I called out to her and stopped my attack. Tomochin was looking at her as well. Yukirin who was watching everything mumbled, "Berserker..."
======
[Mayu's POV]
She was too strong...
She managed to beat Rider in only a minute. Acchan glared at the tall girl. "So, Tomochin." The tall girl looked at Rider. who was badly beaten. She wasn't dead though. "That's what you get for breaking our promise and battling Acchan first." she then looked at Kashiwagi, who was also beaten. She grinned and walked towards the said girl with an evil grin.
I stood between them and shielded my schoolmate. Everybody was taken aback by my action. "Move." the tall girl ordered. "No!" I rejected and didn't move an inch. I could see her face getting angrier. "Maa maa Mari-chan~" A cute girl suddenly came towards us. "Erena?!" Yuko shouted, surprised by the girl as well. "Why don't we just leave them be? We can toy with them some other time." she looked down on us and left the area. She took one last look at me for some reason and smirked. She left thereafter with her unsatisfied servant.
======
We took both Kashiwagi and her servant back home with us. At first Jurina protested but she gave up in the end, knowing that I'm pretty stubborn. Acchan and Jurina healed their wounds. Acchan knew a couple of healing magic due to her heroic past and Jurina learned them from her father. Yuko and I were waiting for them to finish. "Hey, Yuko..." I started the conversation and she looked at me. "Do we stand a chance?" I said, remembering that Acchan couldn't even lay a scratch on Rider but the tall girl managed to beat her up in just a minute. Yuko sighed and answered "Who knows. That girl is Berserker, so she's the last obstacle we needed to worry about."
"Who knew she would appear so early..." she added and let out a dry laugh. "I see..." I looked down, feeling dispirited. "But..." she continued, "If Acchan and I used our noble phantasms, then we might stand a chance.
At that moment, Jurina came out and informed us that they're okay for now. Kashiwagi wasn't badly wounded and Rider's wounds are already healed thanks to Jurina's magic. I went inside to see Acchan and Rider sleeping in the same futon. And one girl sitting up looking at me. I decided to just ignore the two sleeping girls and my jealousy and sat next to Kashiwagi.
"Why..." she asks me out of nowhere. "Why did you save us...?"
"I don't know." I answered honestly. "But if there is a hurt person in front of you, then there's no choice but to help them, right?" I asked her back, which gained a puzzled look from her. "Don't mind it. I'm just doing whatever I feel like doing." I smiled at her. I just realized that it was my first time smiling at my rival in school.
She suddenly bursts out laughing in front of me. "A- Ah! A- An idiot! A real idiot!" she touched her stomach and then realized she was still wounded. I gave a wry smile and helped her to lie down. 'Argh, I should've left her there instead of helping her. Mou, calling me an idiot is way too cruel...' I thought to myself as I looked at the girl. After she was finished laughing, she mumbled a bit
"But I don't dislike that type of idiot."

[Chapter 2 Part III : Yuki x Rider]
We all decided to skip school for the day and question Kashiwagi about things that she knows. We were in the living room. On the TV, there's news about global warming but who cares about that. I'm sitting in front of the TV with my back facing it. In a circle, clockwise starting from me is Acchan, Rider, Kashiwagi, Yuko and Jurina. "So shall we start the meeting of the Knights of the round table?" I asked jokingly. Jurina clapped her hands amused while Kashiwagi is giving me a disappointed look. Rider didn't understand what I said so she asked Kashiwagi who only told her it was something pointless. Yuko laughed at my failure and Acchan ruffled my hair. "No, seriously. Is there any questions we should ask that weird lady?" I pointed at Kashiwagi while looking at Acchan.
"Oh, I got one!" Yuko raised her hand to ask. I gave her the 'Go ahead~' gesture. "How about we introduce each other?" she asked us and all of us nodded. We each introduced ourselves. First Yuko, then Jurina followed by Acchan and me.
"My name is Kashiwagi Yuki. That's all." she ends it just like that. "PLAIN!" I got up and pointed at her. She glared at me so I just sat and looked down. Acchan patted me on the back. "There there~" she comforted me like an older sister would. "Your name from now on is Yukirin." Acchan said and smiled at the girl. Kashiwagi's eyes opened wide as she looked at Acchan in disbelief. "Eh? Why?" she asked, not wanting that kind of nickname. "Who cares. It's better since Yuki is kind of a plain name." Yuko pointed out. You could see as if an imaginary arrow struck at Kashiwagi as she heard the truth. "Fine! Whatever you want!" she sulked and goes into the corner. Acchan gave a satisfied nod and Yuko gave a thumbs up to her. "You haven't changed a bit." Rider said to Acchan as she chuckled.
"My class is Rider. My generation name is Itano Tomomi. I'm Atsuko's best friend." she sticks her chest out in pride and Acchan nods. Yuko clicked her tongue. "Some people call me Tomochin or Tomo, so whatever's fine." she ends her introduction and Acchan clapped. "Why are you clapping?" Yuko asked her, annoyed. Acchan only sticks her tongue out and ignored her. "Hahaha! You're hated!" I teased the midget which earned me a hit on the head.
After some commotion and Jurina comforting 'Yukirin', we settled down. "I would have to ask this first..." I looked at Yukirin seriously while the others kept quiet. "Do you REALLY have to take other people's souls?" I asked her. She sighed knowingly. "Do you really need to win the grail war that badly?" I continued, and she looked down. The others looked at her to get the answer. After a few moments of thinking, she confessed. "Yes."
"... Why...?" I looked down, thinking of how to express it. After a few seconds of silence, I finally looked up and asked her the question. "... Why would you go so far...?" The others nodded knowingly and waited for her answer. She closed her eyes as if she wanted to resolve herself. "Actually..." she opened her mouth to answer. "... I want to gain a certain knowledge..." We all looked at her and waited for her to continue. "I want to find out who killed her..."
"Who killed Sae..."
======
[A certain person's POV]
I sat down next under the tree in the park. Surprisingly, there wasn't anyone there today. The weather's cloudy so people are probably staying inside, afraid that it's going to rain. I was trying to take a rest for a bit before continuing what I was doing. I sensed a presence above me but I was calmer than ever, knowing that she's there. "Welcome back, Sae." I greeted her, which she replied with nothing more but a smile. Her spear wasn't there so she probably made it vanish. We started our small talk while I was taking a rest. "So. did you find anything?" I asked her which she nodded without looking at me. She looked at a certain point in the distance and answered casually. "Berserker team met up with Saber, Archer and Rider team and the Rider team is probably going to join up with the Saber and Archer team's alliance."
Her face looked saddened as she probably remembered of what happened in the last holy grail war. The truth is, the holy grail war the last time was horrifying. Not only did the heroes became what they least expected, but the main event of the war isn't actually the heroes' battle. It's the Magus' battle which was crazy. The winner was a certain person whose hero was the first one to step out. That person's wish was...
"I want to participate... in the next grail..."
What's more crazy is that I also got taken into this war as well. I became a master in the last war and at the end of it, right before I stepped out, I used a forbidden spell which got me into the current war. Sae didn't know since her master was someone else, but what surprised me more is that she came into the war too early.
"So did you see her?" I asked her, which after a few seconds, she gave a slight nod, signalling that she's safe. The question is, "Do you think she remembered?" she asked me as she remembered what happened before this war took place. Before the second hero was summoned. "I don't know..."
======
[Mayu's POV]
Everyone was silent. I could tell that Acchan and Yuko were shocked. If I remembered correctly, Yuko called the one with the spear, probably Lancer, Sae. And I don't know if that person and the one Yukirin mentioned are the same person, but it's still shocking. "What is your relationship with this... Sae person?" Jurina asked the question most of us were going to ask. She already knew Lancer's generation name is Sae, so she asked. Yukirin blushed right red as Jurina asked her that. "W- What are you talking about~ W- We're just friends~" She covers her red face and fidgets around as she said that. "The way you answered that makes you look VERY suspicious." Acchan stated with a sadistic grin on her face which made all of us nodded. Even 'Tomochin'.
After a few seconds of being shy, she looked down, as if she remembered something. "Sae was the first friend I ever met. You could even say that she's my savior..." she says as she recalled. "Even in tough times, she's always by my side... But one day, when I went to see her at our secret hideout..." she bit her lip and paused for a bit. All of us didn't dare to say anything as if to respect whatever she's going to say. "... I saw her lifeless body... with... blood all over the wall... a knife stuck to her chest... she was killed..."
======
[The person's POV]
"So how will you explain what happened at that time?" I asked Sae for confirmation, but I changed my question. "No... What will you do when you meet her?" I asked her the real question. She only gave me a bitter smile and lied down on my lap. With a smile of resolution, with her eyes closed, she gave me the answer I was hoping to hear. "I will follow your orders til the ends of hell, Master."
======
[Mayu's POV]
"I think I got the gist of what happened..." Acchan said as we separated from Yukirin. She was left alone in the living room because she needed some time. "Were you there at that time, Tomochin?" Yuko asked the girl. She shook her head and made an apologetic gesture. "I was only summoned a few weeks ago. She lost Sae about a month ago." she explained. "So basically..." Acchan closed her eyes to think.
"We shouldn't tell her about Sae just yet." she says, as she found her answer. "Why? I think it's better to tell her... Or else innocent lives are going to be lost..." I looked down in sadness of what's to come. She smiled at me and patted my head. "Don't worry. Tomochin is here to stop her, and we're going to stay with her." she assured me. Jurina butted in "Is this about Berserker?" she asked and I'm confused. "Yes..." she answered.
"Berserker-class servants are the most powerful out of all the servants. And probably the most insane. I think she knows this well enough that Tomochin alone can't defeat Mariko." she mentions the Berserker-class's name. "Therefore..."
======
"I want us to make a truce." I said to her and she looked at me with shock. "But!" I continued "You must not involve innocent people anymore!" I crossed my arms and looked down at her. "Deal?" I asked which she looked down to think. Moments became seconds, seconds became minutes, minutes became- Okay, it's only for 12 seconds. "I guess I'll have to accept that offer for now." her face lit up with a bright smile as she looked at me. I blushed for a bit, not knowing that she could be so beautiful... She's not as beautiful as Acchan, but... "Mayuyu?" Jurina brought me back to reality and I laughed dryly for whatever reason.
Everyone was happy that Yukirin accepted our condition. Not to mention that we just gained another ally. Acchan got closer to me and whispered in my ear "If you keep going like this, you're going to be stabbed in the back." she left after saying what she wants and made some tea. I shook hands with Yuki and Jurina put her hands over ours with a grin. "We're the 'BEAT UP BERSERKER' Alliance~!" she shouted playfully which made both Yukirin and I laughed. Acchan, Yuko and Tomochin were having their own celebration outside. We decided to just leave them be.
"Ah, because I told you what I wanted, then what do you two want to ask if you get the Holy Grail?" Yukirin blurted out a question which made me froze. Jurina as well. "Eh? Was that a taboo question?" she asked worriedly as she realized the state Jurina and I were in. "No, it's not that..." I said with a wry smile because I don't really know what I wanted to wish for. Jurina was the first to answer. "I want to stop the war."
I looked at her surprised. Her face was serious. Yukirin was curious. "Why would you do that?" she asked. Jurina answered while looking straight into her eyes. "I don't want something scary to happen if the Grail fell into the wrong hands..." she says clearly and Yukirin realized something. "You mean the 4th war?" she asked Jurina. Jurina nodded which made me curious. "Eh? When's that? And what happened?" I asked them. Yukirin explained. "The 4th war. This is the 8th. Somebody crazy used the grail to set fire to a whole town. The winner of the 5th Grail War used his wish to destroy the grail itself but... A new grail was created."
Jurina continued after Yukirin. "The grail became more powerful and it had the power to pass through dimensions. Therefore on the 7th war, new heroes from different dimensions were called out. And the war is held in a dimension different from us. Like Acchan said, the 7th war was called the idol war. They fought until the last remaining hero or master in the war remains. Because the grail has a mind of itself, it then used the 7 heroes of the past war to come back to the 8th war, our war."
"Okay, we're getting off topic, I think." I pointed the obvious which made Jurina finally realize it. "Ah, sorry. Lost in the moment there." she sticks her tongue out cutely as she winked. I thought she was really cute like that... "What's your wish, Watana- I mean, Mayuyu?" Yukirin asked me as we got back into track. I pondered for a bit but after a few seconds, I finally reached my answer.
======
[Saber's POV]
We hung out outside and talked about the past where we became idols and such. After I stepped out of the war, I became an actress for a while until the grail is finished. I didn't hear anything about what happened in the war because it's such a pain. "Tomo," I called her when I remembered something. "What is it?" she looked at me with the smile that saved me a long time ago. "What did you promise Mariko?"
She pondered on how to explain it and "Well, during the last war,
======
[FLASHBACK]
"Mariko, what did you want to talk about?"
"Ah, Tomochin. I just heard this from someone."
"About?"
"The heroes in this grail war this time will reappear in the next war."
"Really???"
"Yeah... I need to ask you of a favor."
"What is it? If it's not something impossible, then-"
"In the next war, I don't want you to attack Acchan first. It's okay if she attacks you, but I don't want you anywhere near her."
"... Why...?"
"Because I think SHE will win this war... And as an older sister, I'll have to protect my younger sister from her.."
"... I see..."
"So will you promise me?"
"Yeah. If it's for Atsuko..."
[FLASHBACK END]
======
Yuko and I listened to what happened as she explained. "You sure are loved." Yuko blurted out in a pissed off tone. I think she's upset about something. Probably jealousy but I don't want to get too self-conscious about it. "Then why did you break your promise to her?" I asked her and she shook her head. "I was attacking Mayuyu who was defenseless at that time. I didn't know that her servant was you."
======
After all that's happened, and us partying for god knows how long, it became night time. We all went to our own beds. Yukirin with Tomo, Jurina with Yuko and Mayuyu with me. I protested about Yuko staying in the same room with a girl but Tomo persuaded me otherwise saying that she knows that nothing is going to happen. Though, to be frank, my perversion is way worse than Yuko's.
"Acchan?" Mayuyu and I looked at each other in bed. It wasn't that weird lover's atmosphere that was going on. It was like siblings. "Hm? What is it?" I gave her a smile and she blushed a bit. She was so red that I could even see it in the dark. "Er.. Mind telling me the names of each servants?" she asked cutely as she hid half of her face under the blanket. I chuckled a bit and squeeled at her cuteness in my heart.
"Saber-class, Maeda Atsuko. Archer-class, Oshima Yuko. Lancer-class, Miyazawa Sae. Rider-class, Itano Tomomi. Berserker-class, Shinoda Mariko." I mentioned the five that I knew. "Err.. what about the other two? Caster and Assassin, was it?" she asked me again. I shook my head, not knowing the answer. "I don't know. Nobody knew who Assassin and Caster were in the last grail war." I explained to her. "In the last war, a lot of heroes were summoned. Probably about two hundred. Only 7 were part of the war. Each of the 7 knew they were in the war but didn't bother asking the others. I found out about the 5 of them being servants and their masters as time passed by but I don't know about the other two servants and masters."
"Ah... I see..." she seemed relieved and disappointed at the same time. "What's wrong?" I asked her. She shook her head to show there's nothing wrong. Even though she may say so, but her look says otherwise. "You should sleep, Mayuyu." I hugged her and buried her face in my chest. My chest isn't that big so she shouldn't be suffocating. She blushed madly at first but then looked calm and sleepy.
"Goodnight, Mayuyu." I kissed her forehead and her blush became redder even though I thought it was impossible at first.
"Goodnight, big sis..." she was about to sleep at first but then realized her mistake.
"'big sis'~~???" I teased her with a grin and she protested a lot.
"N- No! It was just a spur of the moment!" she blushed even redder. Okay, how red can she even go?
"Hai hai. Now just go to sleep, my little sister~" I continued teasing her even though I want her to sleep.
"M- Mou... You should forget about this..."
"Is that a proper way to talk to your older sister~"
"N- NYAA!" she snapped and hugged me tightly, more like trying to squeeze me
"Haha, my little sister is really cute~"
"S- Stop that... I'm going to sleep!" she closed her eyes to drift to dreamland.
"Yeah, Goodnight, my little sister..."
"... G- Goodnight, big sis..."
[Chapter 2 END - What came undone]

:thumbsup
Nice chapter as always..
Astumayu moment is so lovely :wub:
I might turn as silent reader as I don't really know what to comment for now ><
:depressed: :on lol: :kneelbow:
-
omg, the AtsuMayu moments are so freakin' adorable! I would never imagine these two fit so well. XD When Mayu had a little slip of her tongue and accidentally called Acchan "Big sis'", it made me go "AWWWWW!" :cathappy: They're so cute!
And ah! Sae = Lancer and Sae is dead = What the hell will Yukirin do when she finds out? :shocked: This just got a whole lot more complicated. And Yuko being jealous of Acchan, LOL. Atsuyuu is so cute and lovable here~
Then there's Tomochin. Hm... She and Yuki formed an alliance with Jurina, Mayu, Atsuko and Yuko now in order to take down Berserker... Are they able to make it? Berseker is hella strong so they better be ready and on their toes! :panic:
Can't wait to see the next updated chapter from you! :deco:
-
<3 <3 <3
basically... so great..
lol, Yukirin got shot down...
-
Yuki, your guess is correct! OAO *clap clap clap* And as for the dominance poll, I can't believe Yuko is at the bottom of the 'food chain' with Erepyon! And I can't imagine Mariko-sama being uke with Acchan... But... *drools* THAT'S GOOD TOO. P/S, Ultimate se...?
DiVA, you sure know how to read the storyline O.O ARE YOU A PSYCHIC?! And don't worry. If you talk a lot, it would make the writer feel more at ease~
kenjoy, yeah, Mariko-sama loves her lovely imouto, Acchan~ Wonder what would happen if she found out Acchan's spoiling Mayuyu. I'm thinking of Berserker rage XD
qweakb, just say what you want~ Like there's something you want to happen or what you think is going to happen~
Flutist, Yukirin would go "Saeeee~~~" and Sae would run away from her knowing that Yukirin just tasted the overdose of Sae's harem aura! Just kidding. Well, let's find out in some other chapters~ Yes! Somebody who's thinking AtsuYuu is cute~! *High-fives*
Shinoki, nice wrap-up there XD
Yosh! I wonder what I'll write XD
[Chapter 3 Part I]
"MEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN!!!!!!!" I used my full strength and finally hit the girl in front of me. It was just a light hit on the head but just because of that, "Heh. Amusing." she got serious and repelled my bamboo blade and hit me about three times in the on my head. Because of that, I fell and was defeated. Acchan, who was watching with boredom this whole time, let out a child-like smile and clapped as Yuko and I finished practice. "Whoa! Didn't know you had it in you, Mayuyu!" Yuko was really amused as she clapped with the audience, who is Acchan. Acchan nodded satisfied and proud of my growth. "It's been a week since I came here and you only got to hit her once..." Yukirin, who just finished doing something with Tomochin, entered the dojo to make fun of me. I stuck my tongue out at her "If you think that's easy, why don't YOU try to fight with her?!" I challenged her and pointed my finger at Yuko. "I'd rather not, I'm a magus, not a swordsman." she says obviously...
Yes, it's been a week since we made truce with Yukirin and Tomochin. There weren't any events that are worth mentioned that happened to me since then, nor were there any sightings of Berserker and her master. I continued to improve my swordsmanship and magic day by day thanks to the others helping me out, but sadly, I didn't make any progress at either of them until now. I'm proud of myself. But, if I already have a hard time with Yuko, who says she didn't use too much of her skills, how am I going to be on par with the epitome of swordsmanship, Saber? It's tough having her as my servant...
"You're already good, Mayuyu. You only need to focus on your stamina and footwork. You have no problem with your arm's speed and reactions but sometimes your feet would lose balance and make your attack miss or even make you get hit even if you avoid them." Acchan comments at my performance as I wiped the sweat from my body. "Who WOULDN'T lose their focus when looking at THAT?!" I pointed at Yuko, who's half-naked. Only wearing her bra and panties. Every time we practice, she would always find the time and moment to casually take off her clothes without much labor. It's frustrating...
"Hey hey, what are you drooling at a woman's body for, you hentai?!" she covers her chest with her hands and backs away from me. I only facepalmed at her statement, refraining from yelling out "YOU'RE ONE TO TALK!" at her. Oh, I said it... She ignored what I said and continued to run around half-naked in the dojo. That... annoying... squirrel... "Maa maa, if you focus enough, then it would be no problem to fight with Yuko. Trust me, beating up this squirrel is my forte." Acchan consoles me as she gave me a reassuring smile. "Wait, you know you're way stronger than me even WITH my clothes on!" Yuko made sense but as per usual, Acchan only cares about herself.
Right at that moment, Jurina came back from town. "Hey, I've got some new information." she suddenly told us out of the blue. "Forget that, I'm hungry." Tomochin interrupted and Acchan nodded at the girl's dissatisfaction. "You two really need to control yourself when eating..." Yukirin who was silent voiced out which made Tomochin avert her eyes from her. To take care of Acchan's request, we headed to the kitchen to cook (Actually it's only Jurina and Acchan who's cooking. The rest are just keeping each other company while watching them).
======
"So what were you trying to say before?" Yukirin asked Jurina while we were eating curry rice. The position is like last time. My back facing the TV and eating dinner. On my left is Acchan, followed by Tomochin, Yukirin, Yuko and Jurina who is on my right. We were dining peacefully.
Jurina gulped her food to talk about it, but she was interrupted by Tomochin. "Forget that, you two are gonna make good brides one day~" Tomochin complimented Acchan and Jurina. The two looked at each other awkwardly but then "Tomo said we fit each other, Jurina." Acchan gave Jurina her best smile. Jurina replied with her puppy smile and clung to Acchan. "Better than a certain person who ALWAYS run away when I tried to initiate skinship." Jurina glanced at me with an unsatisfied look. I didn't know what she meant by that so I continued to eat. She sighed and lets go of Acchan. The older girl whispered something in her ear and Jurina's cheeks turned bright red. It's the first time I'm ever seeing her this red. More like I never saw her embarrassed ever since kindergarten.
"Yaaa~ Acchan ecchi~" she gave a playful punch at Acchan's left shoulder and Acchan chuckled. "And you know this NOW?" she gave Jurina a more evil smile. Kind of sadistic. "Watching you two make out like this pisses me off..." Yuko glared at the two who were happily making out with each other like a pair of adolescent couple. "Oh, is that jealousy I hear?" Yukirin teased the older girl and Yuko growled at her.
"I think we're forgetting something..." I said as I remembered the real topic was interrupted by someone. "Oh yeah, I was trying to tell you guys the importance of a well-balanced diet." Yukirin answered, though I was hoping for somebody else. "Okay, enough jokes already." Acchan says even though she was the one who joked the most. She looked at Jurina, her eyes telling her to continue what she was trying to tell us. Jurina nodded and put down her spoon.
"There's been rumors lately." she says which made the suspense grew. "They say that late at night, you could see a figure of a girl on top of the shrine on the hill." she mentioned the town's only shrine which was located on a hill. It's really a long way up so people are rarely seen there, moreover, she mentions nighttime, which is even more suspicious. "Are you trying to say that..." Tomochin asked her but before she could finish, Jurina nodded. "Yeah." she closed her eyes and thought about it some more. "There's probably something or someone there that's worth investigating." she finished and looked at me to handle the decision.
I thought about what to do. "I think we should go check now. Better to regret doing something than to regret doing nothing." Acchan voiced out her opinion which surprised me. I thought she was more of the careful type. "I think I'm agreeing with Acchan there. No harm done if we're just investigating." she supported Acchan's suggestion. I thought some more on what to do and the consequences of each step. I thought of all the possibilities in my head.
"We won't do anything." I said clearly and surely. Hearing this, Acchan snapped. "WHY?! The opportunity's right in front of our eyes and you're not going to do anything?!" she raised er voice at me, her own master. "Rather than us being attacked from who knows where, it's better for us if we take the chance!" she continued to convince me but I shook my head. "Tch. You think that's the best course of action as well, right, Tomo?" she looked at Tomochin for backup but Tomochin also shook her head. "Acchan, you're a little hot-tempered sometimes. You need to relax and face reality. If you're just going to waltz into unknown territory, you need to at least think of a plan first." Tomochin commented which made Acchan more pissed.
Jurina put her hand on Acchan's shoulder. "I guess we'll just have to follow your mas-" she stopped herself as she saw the anger inside Acchan's eyes. They contain bloodlust. The main cause of that? Me. She glared at me as if she's glaring down at a pest. As if her next move would be my end. I couldn't move at all. "Acchan!" Tomochin shouted and grabbed the girl but in just a few seconds, Tomochin was found lying on the ground. Acchan threw her best friend to the ground as if it was nothing. Yuko didn't make a move but instead looked at the taller girl's actions. She only looked at her, not bothering to help her friend in need. The room was filled with intensity. More like, it was fear. My fear, Jurina's fear, Yukirin's fear, for that one person whom we thought was more calmer than that.
"You need to listen to what I have to say, Acchan." I gathered up my courage and finally warned the girl. She looked down on me and didn't change her scary expression. "And what makes you so sure of that?" she lifted her arm up and I could see a shape of a sword shaping up. She was threatening me. I gulped as I looked at the girl who is supposedly my servant and I've even recognized her as my own sister. "This." I showed her the tattoo or symbol on my left arm. A symbol which only has two strokes left. Last time it was three but because I used one to call Acchan out, it became two. Acchan glared at me more but just as I thought she would lower her guard and calmed down because of my own threat, she pushed me to the wall and pinned me.
"You're going to use one of the most essential magic in the war just because of this?!" she raised her voice even louder which made me think that even the people three houses away could hear her. I almost gave in but I didn't. I glared back at her. "Yes. I AM your Master.' That one sentence made her threw me to the floor. "Oi!" Jurina and Yukirin checked how I was doing and Acchan walked to the doorway of the living room. "I thought I was right about you..." she left her final words and walked towards the bedroom.
======
"Are you really sure you're okay, Mayuyu?" Jurina checked me for any bruises or the sort as I was sitting there hopelessly. "I said I'm fine..." I may say that but my mind and heart are messed up. The Acchan I saw just now was a lot more different than the one I saw before this incident. She was more calmer, understanding and nice than who I saw just now. I didn't know which one is the real Acchan.
"And here I thought Berserker was insane." Yukirin criticized the girl that just left. Well, I can't blame her. I'm sure that seeing Acchan snap like that just because of an order is surprising for her. I looked at Acchan's two friends. Tomochin was in the corner, her hands hiding her face as she tried not to cry. Yuko is next to her, patting the girl's head. They've probably seen Acchan snapped a lot of times before but Tomochin is still sad about it. Yuko was thinking about something, but I decided not to pry. I left them and headed to my room, hoping Acchan is fast asleep already.
======
"... Acchan...?" I slowly opened the door and called out her name quietly. She was already in bed. I tiptoed slowly to the bed, making sure that I don't make too much noise. "I... I'm coming in..." I entered the bed and made sure not to get too close to her. I look at her back and tried to hug her but I refrained myself. I don't want to make her anymore angry than she already is. Without noticing, my fingers moved towards her hair, feeling her soft and silky hair. As if that's not enough, my restraint got loose and I hugged her slowly from behind. I felt her body warmth as I hugged her and realized that I have already gotten accustomed to her. It felt like if she wasn't by my side, and I wasn't hugging her, I wouldn't be able to sleep at all.
"... Big sis..." I muttered the name that I wanted to call her and always called her when we were alone. "... I'm sorry..." I apologized to her back. Even if she didn't hear me, I don't care. I just wanted us to be together. I don't want us to be separated. Calling it 'romance' is too low of a praise for this. What I feel for her right now is more than that... She's my savior, and I don't want to let her go...
======
[The next day]
I woke up missing something. I didn't feel any warmth. My eyes opened wide and searched around the room. She's not here. Where?! "Where's Acchan?!" "Hm? You missed me already~?" someone got out of the bathroom. It was her. She's wearing her usual smile. But what's more important is that she's only wearing a towel that's wrapped down just above her danger zones. "B- Big sis!!!" I hugged her and cried as I saw her smile and of course half-naked body. "Eh? What's gotten into you all of a sudden?" she showed a wry smile as she patted my head. "Come on, you need to get ready for school, you know." she says. 'Crap. I forgot about the existence of the governmental educational system.'
======
[At school]
"So why is Acchan following us to school as well?" Jurina glared at Acchan as she hugged me on the way to school. It's not surprising since the incident last night almost broke all their trust for her. "Don't worry. Even though I get pissed easily, Mayuyu's still my master, and of course I'll follow her orders." she smiles and looks at Jurina. Jurina blushed a bit as she saw the radiance from Acchan and Yukirin sighed. "I don't actually care but make sure you don't do anything to hurt Mayuyu more." she says and I looked at her surprised. "Yukirin cares about me~" I tried to hug her but she avoided me and went towards her servant, Tomochin.
Acchan, Yuko and Tomochin are wearing our school uniform and following us to school for no reason. Acchan said because it would be easier to guard us that way. Jurina, Yukirin and I all skipped school for a week now. I don't know what sort of punishments they're gonna give us but first we've got to make the three servants blend in first. "Ah, it's been a long time since I went to school~" Yuko says so, relieved. "Well, the last time we wore school uniforms was in the last war, but we never gone to school though." Tomochin revealed her cosplay fetish. "And no Mayuyu, it's not a cosplay fetish, it's just our jobs as idols." Acchan explained. What is she, a psychic? "And no I am not a psychic" she denies it but what she denied and what she's actually doing totally doesn't make sense.
======
"I can't believe nobody realized they weren't our students even until recess!" I said as we walked down the hallway. "Aw shut up. That would make us look more suspicious." Yukirin says blushing as she was embarrassed by how loud I was talking. While I was walking, I bumped into a person. We stumbled to the floor cutely, though I'm no narcissist. "Are you okay?" Jurina asked as she helped me up. Acchan went to the one I bumped to and helped her as well. "I'm sorry for what my stupid sister did." she bowed her head and also made me bow as well. "I- It's okay, I'm fine." she says and tried to make Acchan stop bowing, which she succeeded as Acchan got up and smiled at her.
"Hm? You look just like a person I know." Acchan blurted out and she patted the girl's head, even though that girl is taller than her. "Acchan, stop hitting on her. Say, what's your name?" Yuko went ahead and asked the girl. She reluctantly answered, "I'm Kojima Haruna. Third year." she introduced herself. She's a year older than me, I guess. Since I'm a 2nd year, and Jurina's a 1st year. We also introduced ourselves to her and Acchan somehow got her contact number for some unknown reason. She shared it with Yuko who forced her.
======
Finally it's time for bed again! "Big sis~" I hugged her in bed again. "You're acting a lot more clingy today, Mayuyu." she says so but didn't bother pushing me away. I hugged her more tightly and comfortably rested my face on her breasts. She didn't mind so that's good. Acchan is really nice. She even bathes with me sometimes even though I always drool at her every single second we're in the bathroom. Even after that. "That's why I love big sis~" "Hai hai. Now go to sleep, kiddo." she hits my head and I made an apologetic smile. I finally let my consciousness get taken by dreamland.
======
I woke up again and didn't see Acchan anywhere. She's probably in the bathroom doing perverted things which I couldn't say here since it's not a private thing Acchan does and I promised to keep it a secret. I walked towards the kitchen to get a glass of milk. There, I could see Yuko sitting on a chair, as if waiting for me. "Yuko? You're not asleep yet?" I asked her but she didn't look at me at all. "I better tell you this first." she starts her report. "Acchan's gone to the shrine."
[FLASHBACK -Yuko-]
"Where are you going, Acchan?" I asked her as I saw her walking towards the house door. She looked at me and smiled. "You know I don't like to just sit here doing nothing." she confessed, knowing that I already realized what she's going to do. "And don't even think about telling this to Mayuyu. She'd be devastated if I died so suddenly." she made a joke but I glared at her. "Don't make a stupid joke like that. You're Saber, one of the most powerful servant, not to mention you're Maeda Atsuko, the one I fell in love with!" I made my voice as low as possible to make her feel intimidated but she just shrugs it off but nodded and walked towards the door. "Stay safe." I said at her back which she replied "Roger"
[FLASHBACK END]
"Crap!" I looked at the mark on my hand but "STOP!" Yuko stopped me from going any further. "Why? She-" "You don't know how much she's suffered because of that damned obligation!" she interrupted me and I kept quiet, urging her to continue. "In the last war, her master used the order to make her do the thing she hates the most, standing in the the center of attention. She had to carry all of the burden from the public and even hundreds of heroes all by herself! That damned girl even used it to get closer to her physically! She lost it just because of that damned mark!" she pointed at the mark on my hand. "One small mistake on your part will make her break apart. I don't give a damn if my master is your best friend. As I said before when we just met, if you ever use the order to do things she doesn't want to, I'll kill you."
Moments of silence fell on us. None of us spoke a word. Yuko glared at me and I looked down to think. Finally, "I see..." I sighed and continued "Who knew she had to suffer so much..." I gained a whole new respect towards Acchan. So that's why she had to step out too early in the war. "How long did she stay in the war?" I asked her and she smiled sadly. "6 years."
======
[Saber's POV]
I finally reached the top of the stairs. It was a long climb but I finally made it. I see a figure next to the shrine's gate. "Good evening, Maeda-san." she bowed at me and I smiled back at her. "Yo..." I greeted her back which she smiled so cutely to. "Can you guess what class I am, Maeda-san?" she asks with her finger touching her lips, making her look so cute. It's different from Mayuyu's cuteness. This is a whole new level. "Caster-class servants aren't stupid enough to go melee with the Saber-class servants. And judging by how you look like you're trying to lure me here to assassinate me for your master, it's obvious."I stopped for a bit since she clapped her hands out of nowhere. "Ooooh! As I thought, Maeda-san's REALLY perceptive!" she praised me but I don't even want it. The only thing I know now is, "So you're Assassin, Rena."
[Chapter 3 Part I : Assassin]
[TO BE CONTINUED]
-
Wow Rena is assassin? Or caster? O.o
Well about the dominance poll lol, just some guts feeling :p
-
Wow Rena is assassin? Or caster? O.o
She's an assassin...
I guess i am Psychic :lol:
It used to be much stronger when i was a kid though... :nervous
Acchan how Dare you disobey your master! :angry:
I'm guessing Takamina was her last master then :)
...or maybe it was Haruna judging by the way they were acting towards each other :?
Sae~ :cry:
I can't Wait for the next Awesome Chapter :twothumbs :panic:
-
Rena-san~ Rena-san~ Rena-san~ <3 my oshi!! Wow, assassin... don't think a geki mode will show up... or will it?
Sighs... wow... great chap... nod nod... oh those stupid marks...
-
Rena as Assassin! :w00t:
Uwaaaa~ Acchan still go at the shrine..
What will Mayu gonna do?
Wonder if Haruna involves in the Holy War and one of the master..
Can't wait for Assassin and Saber clash to one another :fap
Thank you for the update :bow: :twothumbs
-
qweakb, just say what you want~ Like there's something you want to happen or what you think is going to happen~
okay :grin:
I wonder who is the acchan's master for the last war.. mystery... :? :?
Wonder is Kojiharu Rena's master? Since she is out or Kojiharu is Caster.. :? :? :?
Can request for kojiyu moment? XD
-
Got a chance to throw in my comments on this amazing story~ And Atsuyuu for the win! *high fives back* XD
Yikes! Acchan really is reckless... But she is somewhat right at the same time into investigating the shrine. Sometimes even with a plan, the enemy will either get away or have the advantage to attack without any hesitation. :panic: AtsuMayu moments are cute and I see that Yuko is really protective of Atsuko. From what she explained about the previous war, it seems that she's willing to do anything to keep Acchan safe, even if she has to kill Mayuyu... That's some deep loyalty and love towards the other girl. :huhuh Can't blame Yuko for acting like that when Mayu threatened to use the mark to keep Acchan from doing anything reckless... :sweatdrop: Then poor Tomochin! She must really be hurt when Acchan snapped at her like that... :cry:
There's Rena finally showing up! What's Acchan going to do now? Not to mention Mayu and the rest? :panic:
Looking forward to your next update! :deco:
-
Yuki, she's an Assassin-class, as stated by Acchan.
DiVA, don't blame Acchan! Blame her past Master who traumatized her that way! Who is it? Saa~
Shinoki, Geki mode~ Well, anything's possible~ She's Assassin~ The one that always dies second (next to Lancer)
Kenjoy, err I'm sorry... since I'm not that good at explaining battles... so it's gonna be a bit disappointing and short ^^''
qweakb, .... I HATE YOU!!! QAQ (and sure I'll do some KojiYuu in the next chap)
Flutist, LONG! OAO Well, yeah I too agree with Acchan. My motto is 'It's better to regret something you did, than to regret doing nothing'. Yup~ Yuko is VERY protective of her sweetheart~ I mean, who wouldn't do that for the one they love~? Well, can't blame Mayuyu as well. She didn't know what happened in the last war. I'm gonna explain what happened in the last war in the 5th or 6th chapter~ And after a certain incident~ =w= Oh, Tomochin's hurt mentally now... But don't worry. She trusts her best friend DEEPLY. Firs time replying this long. For some reason I feel proud~ :lol:
SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING THIS!!! I was actually online, but I didn't know how to continue. I know the basic storyboard but I have no idea how to make it come true... Then I'll just use the safest bet of all. I'm gonna destroy the entire Hero system. Things aren't gonna change much but... Something WILL change. What is that? Two words. 'Heaven's Feel'
What will happen in this part~? Chapter title explains everything! Though it'll appear at the end of the chap XD
[Chapter 3 Part II]
I ran as fast as I could towards her, I didn't know why I even bother but I know one thing. If somebody doesn't go for her aide, something bad would happen. "Watch where you're going, brat!" a man yelled out as I crossed the streets, not minding any of the cars. I'm not usually this careless, but this time, I don't care what happens to me. I need to go to her. I remembered what the girl told me.
[FLASHBACK]
"Yuko-san...?" she's suddenly crying all of a sudden. I tried to reach her and comfort her but she slapped my hand away and shook her head. "I'm fine..." she assured me but I have doubts about that. She glared at me again. "So, what will you do, Mayuyu?" she asked me for the answer. I myself don't know what to do, but something in my heart tells me that something bad's going to happen. "I'll go to her." I made up my mind. As I said that, I could see a smile forming on her lips. "I see..." she says and then grabbed my hand. "LET'S GO! Jurina! Yukirin! Tomochin! You guys as well!" she looked at a closed door. The door of the bathroom. "Haha, we've been found out." I heard a voice, which sounded like Jurina's and then the door opened, and I see the three girls.
"Eh?! Since when did you guys get here?!" I shouted, shock seeing them, because I expected to be asleep. "We were here ever since Acchan went out. We thought about chasing after her but then I heard footsteps, meaning that you were awake. So we just sorta hid in there." Tomochin explained and pointed at the bathroom. "Lies. You guys were making out!" Yuko teased them and they denied it immediately.
"Let's go, we have no time to lose." I said and walked towards the main door. "You go first, Mayuyu. Jurina needs to get her equipments ready. Yukirin and I have something else to do. Tomochin, you help her if she's in need." Yuko orders Tomochin after she spoke to me. "Huh? Why should I take orders from someone weaker than me?" Tomochin says, unsatisfied at the squirrel-like girl who is using her friendship to order her around. Yuko sighed and glares back at the girl. "You and me both don't want Acchan to get hurt. So just listen to me and do what I say." Hearing this, Tomochin closed her eyes and nodded. "Fine. I'm doing this for Atsuko, not for you." she smirked and Yuko let out a smile of satisfaction after hearing the other girl accept.
[FLASHBACK END]
"Oi, wait up, Mayuyu!" the brown-haired girl chased me as I ran forward. I didn't look back but I know just from the voice. "We need to go there fast, Tomochin! Don't just walk!" I shouted at her as I looked back. It's true. She's only walking. Or more precisely, skipping like some gravure idol in a beach commercial. Wow, she's good. No wonder she was an idol. Plus, she's fast! "Why do you want to get there so fast? More like, how do you even know that something bad's going to happen to her?" she says, unsatisfied with my train of thought. It took me a few seconds to realize what she really meant by that, but I answered honestly in the end. "It's because she's my ser- No..." I corrected myself. "She's my sis!"
I could hear Tomochin laughing from behind. Before I realized it, she's already next to me. She smirked at me. "Pretty unique answer there, Saber's little sister." I felt something was wrong as she said that, so I jumped back as she ran forward, and then a the pavement that I was standing on was cracked. In the center of it, is a dagger. I recognized that dagger. It was Rider's.
"What are you doing?!" I glared at the girl but was still shaking a bit. She looked at the ground. And after a few seconds of laughing, she looked straight into my eyes. I couldn't move! Not even a muscle. Not even a blink. I felt like throwing up. It's as if every single cell in my body is crawling up from my skin but I couldn't do anything about it. I could just look at her straight in the eyes.
She smirked a bit and tilted my head towards her. "Hey, do you know what the ironic thing is? I could kill you at this moment and free her of her misery. I don't want her to be hurt ever again. Not to mention Berserker's waiting for her at the end of this game. She's too afraid to even use her blade. That's why, I'll have to kill you now, Mayuyu." she puts the dagger right in front of my neck as she sat down with me. I just look at her, even if I'm in pain, I kept looking at her eyes. Her scary eyes. It wasn't as scary as Acchan's but I know at that point. I already realized who her identity is. But alas, nothing could be done.
She kept looking at me as well. But in due time, I realized something else. Her eyes are wavering. "Why... aren't you calling her out...?" she asked me as if shocked. Her eyes changed color and then I could move again. But, she still didn't lower her weapon. This time, not like how I was with Lancer, I looked straight into her eyes again and said with confidence "I don't want to hurt her even more than I already have..." her eyes were wide opened as I said that. But I didn't stop "I want to reconcile with her. I want her to trust me more. I want to apologize to her..." and as a last resort, "... I... I want to smack her in the head and drag her back home safely!"
She listened to what I was saying and at the end, she smirked yet again. "You and her are both idiots..." she looked down, not meeting my eyes. "But..." she raised her head again grabbed me by the collar. I was surprised by what she did but if that's not enough, she threw me in the air! "I'm stupider for believing in you two!"
======
[Yuki's POV]
I looked at the back of the smaller girl. We were in a forest right next to the temple. To tell the truth, I could actually teleport by performing magic but Yuko didn't want Mayuyu to use it. Being the good girl I am, I just follow her since it seems that she has a plan. But... "Aren't we going to help Acchan?" I asked her back as we moved forward towards the side entrance of the shrine. Silence filled us for a moment. Only the sound of branches breaking and slashes of a sword could be heard. She stopped suddenly and said something without looking back "... I believe in their bond..." she says, with a little hint of loneliness. A smile subconsciously escaped my lips and I patted her on the back. "Believe me. They have a great bond, but you and Acchan have an even tighter one."
She nodded silently. I was telling the truth. When I see Mayuyu and Acchan together for the past week, their bond was as of siblings or probably more. But when I saw Yuko and Acchan interacting, it was clear. Acchan lets out her entire emotions towards Yuko. Even if she rejected Yuko many times, and the midget still doesn't hold back her perverted jokes AND out-of-the-blue confessions. One other thing I realize with Acchan is that she would always make treat Yuko the best. I realized from the dinners we had. She would always set Yuko's first, Tomochin second, Mayuyu, Jurina and then mine. It's like a chart. She's the closest to Yuko and treats Yuko the best.
"Hey, if you could label Acchan in terms of 'S' and 'M', which would most likely be for her?" I asked out of curiosity. Yuko looked back at me and stared at me in confusion. "Just answer." I sighed, not to make her question my sudden bluntness and randomness. She immediately said after that "She's an 'S'. Definitely an 'S'. If you asked if I'd live after a night with Acchan, I'd be stuck between heaven and hell. The pleasure of being with Acchan and her instant 'S' mode. It's pleasureful but I wouldn't want to think of the after-effects." she shivered as if she just thought of something unpleasant. I pondered for a bit at her answer and said unconsciously "Ah.. I thought she would be an 'M'..." I instinctively covered my mouth as a certain squirrel stared at me with curiosity.
I really thought she was an 'M'. I mean, she's really tsundere about things and never shows what she truly feels for the girl. I mean, I think she would be happier if Yuko made the first move but alas, that didn't work. Then maybe... she wants Yuko to be 'S'...
Just as Yuko wanted to ask me something, she flinched and pulled me towards the bushes. "Hey! I- I'm not going to do it with you even if you beg!" I protested. She covered my mouth and whispered into my ear. "Don't move. Stay." I nodded in fear of what she's going to do but right at that moment, a figure came out of a temple. I think I recognized her...
"Come on out, Yuu-chan. I know your smell anywhere." she says and Yuko grinned. She stood up from the bushes and went towards the girl. After she took off her hood, I finally recognized that girl. Kojima Haruna. "Hey NyanNyan~ I missed you~" Yuko tried to hug the girl but the girl glared at her which made her stop. "Ehh? No skinship?!" Yuko pouted but the girl still didn't show much affection for her. "So who's the other one?" she asked and looked at my direction. Yuko eyed me that it's safe so I went out to make contact with the other girl.
"Ahh, Yukirin. So she's your new Master?" Kojima-san greeted me then asked Yuko. "No, she's Rider's. I made a truce with them." Yuko explained. Why is she explaining to her anyway? "I see..." Kojima-san stopped a bit before questioning again. "And... Acchan?" she asked, which made Yuko look down, a bit depressed. "She's just as tough as always..." Yuko answered, with tears strolling down her cheeks.
"But I'm still wondering though..." Yuko says silently but all of us could hear her. "How could my Master in the last war became Caster in this war?"
======
[Mayu's POV]
"P- PEGASUS?!" I was stunned as I'm actually riding on top of a legendary beast, the white winged horse, Pegasus. "O- Oi! Where did you even get this?!" I asked Tomochin as I'm surprised as hell but she just smirked again. She's really a hard S. Just like another person I know. "WHOA! A HORSE IS FRIGGIN FLYING!" I shouted at particularly nobody as I rode the beast with her. Tomochin just laughs and concentrates on getting us to the shrine. Hopefully, we'll make it in time.
======
[Saber's POV]
"J- Just what the hell are you..."
I asked the girl as I was sweating a lot, with blood and scars all over my body. But, even when I'm in that state, the girl in front of me is only with a few scars. Which is on her hands from messing up her movements a bit. I didn't want to admit it but she's fast. A little too fast. Are most Assassin-class servants like this?
"Huh? Is that all, Maeda-san? I could even do this all night~"
She teased me as she hopped playfully while I'm here on my knees. I looked too pathetic. Not only is she faster than me, but her nails are too sharp that it's even equivalent to my sword's sharpness.
Without waiting for me to get back on my feet, she quickly dashed towards me and right at that moment,
"ACCHAN!!!"
A voice came from above. Heaven? Are the angels going to save me from despair? Or is it just my year supply of mochi delivery? Well, if you think logically, it could be neither. I used the last of my strength to kick Rena away as she was too busy looking up. I also looked up and well I'll be, it's a friggin horse with wings. Nah, it was Mayuyu. What's she doing here? And she's even with Tomochin. Oh yeah, I disobeyed her orders.
I looked at her one last time, knowing that she's there to support me and turned to Rena once again.
This is the last time...
With the final image in my mind, I finally revealed my sword.
======
[Mayu's POV]
I see Acchan in the distance, and then suddenly a golden light shines on her left hand that was holding her sword. I was almost blinded by it but Tomochin was more shocked than ever. "You finally have the courage, you idiot..." I could see tears in her eyes but I just ignored it, knowing that I won't get my answer just by watching her. Then I looked back at Acchan, at her hand, is a sword.
(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ0ZGYt3yddm7ZDV_7oZ1JpcRTrZ_qbdu5drgxWSYUw-SgjSDLVxw)
The sword in her hand looks... beautiful... no... it's even more than that... what is this feeling...?
"Rena..." "Maeda-san, finally... I can fight you fair and square!" the other girl, who was kicked before, stood up and looked at Acchan excitingly.
Acchan smirked at her statement and readied her sword.
"I'm sorry, Mayuyu..." I could hear her say that, but I'm not so sure...
Suddenly, like before, her sword shone brightly at the heavens itself, giving a golden radiance to every living being and non-living things around her. She raised her sword high and mighty, giving the aura of brilliance that surrounds her as if the heavens itself is shining light upon her figure. The holy sword... No... The sacred sword... A sword that gives such aura, such magnificence... There could only be one... I grinned as I looked at it shining brighter than ever. The other girl looked at the sword as if blinded by it's light. Yet, she still smiles. For whatever reason, she looked at her nostalgically. Silence filled the air, none of us talked. all we could hear is the sound of the ground swirling at Acchan's feet. Then at that moment, she finally swings her sword.
"EXCALIBUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
======
[Jurina's POV]
"W- Whoa! What the hell is that?!" I looked at the shrine and see a beam of light unleashed and as a result, the trees next to the hill were all gone. As if what is left is ashes. I don't know what happened but I hope the others are okay... "Mayuyu..." I unconsciously called out her name. I know she won't hear me but I can't help but say her name when it's in times of crisis. "Argh! I'm coming, Acchan!"
======
[Saber's POV]
"A- Acchan! Are you okay?!" Mayuyu ran towards me after I finished using my Noble Phantasm. I actually only used a small-sized beam this time since if I used too much, then who knows what'll happen to Rena. I stood up after falling down when I lost all my strength and walked towards where Rena is. Luckily she's still alive. Badly wounded, but still alive.
"See? Don't make light of your senior." I stuck my hand out for her, hoping she would take it. "Haha... You really are the Ace, Maeda-san..." she says as she laughs dryly, not having much strength left either. "You must be crazy to just stand out here like that. Probably cause she's not with you, huh?" I teased her a bit but she didn't smile at all. She only looked at the moon shining. "The moon... I hate it..." she says as if she remembered a past she wanted to forget. I smiled at her again, not wanting to leave her alone here.
Finally, she grabbed my hand. With this, I made a new comrade again. Until, she kissed me out of nowhere and linked eyes with me.
"Ne, Maeda-san. Look into my eyes...' After that, was a void of darkness...

======
Chapter 3 [Part III]
======
The girl stood and looked at Saber who was in a trance of some sort. Maeda Atsuko didn't move, but let the taller girl did what she wanted. Matsui Rena the Assassin smirked and mumbled something to her. Realizing the weird situation unfolding in front of her, Itano Tomomi the Rider had a hunch of miserable fate getting their way, so she took action unconsciously and dashed towards the two, leaving Watanabe Mayu who was still clueless as of what was happening. The Pegasus disappeared like thin air as Itano used all she has into increasing her speed. Rena realized the girl's advance and separated herself from Saber as she leaped back a few meters from her.
Itano didn't care about Rena much so she focused on her best friend, asking her of her condition. "Acchan, you okay?!" she half-shouted, shaking the girl. Watanabe realized what was going on and also went to Maeda's position. "Acchan!" she joined in the worry as she also shook the girl. Saber didn't move from her spot. She only looked up for no apparent reason.
But then, they felt a heavy pressure, as if the air had changed, into an indescribable discomfort. It wasn't anything physical but something unseen, the air had turned dark and Saber finally looked into her friend's eye.
'Hell', was what she could see.
"Die."
Saber swung her sword at her best friend and the quick Itano didn't have much time to react, but alas she managed to step back a bit, minimizing her damage as she was knocked back and thrown into a tree. Blood spilled and coughing, Itano looked at the eyes of Saber again. The dark red eyes which could even be called the epitome of vengeance, evil and despair. The situation could only mean one thing. Saber... was controlled.
"Mayuyu! Get away!" Itano shouted at the surprised Watanabe who was looking at Saber, not knowing what to do.
No, she knew what to do. She knew what actually happened. She just couldn't dare acknowledge it.
She can do only one thing. Survive.
"Enforcement!" she shouted as she leaped back, grabbing a twig in process. She reinforced the twig and literally threw it at Saber's direction.
The twig scratched Saber in process as the girl didn't move an inch. She only looked at Watanabe in disgust. Watanabe was about to vomit. It was different that Itano's eyes. Itano's eyes were scary but comparing it with Saber's eyes at the moment, Itano's eyes were nothing.
Saber finally made a move and simply walked towards Watanabe. The younger couldn't run nor hide. She couldn't move. She was able to move but yet at the same time, she couldn't. She gritted her teeth of what's to come and looked at Itano, who was trying to get up. Saber lifted her sword up and as if a lever, she swung it down.
"MAYUYU!" Itano shouted, afraid of what happened to the girl but,
A missile was shot out of nowhere and Saber reacted fast. She cancelled what she was doing and jumped back. The missile passed from the spot she was in and hit a tree, exploding it into pieces, and the fire came but disappeared as if magic. Saber looked at the source and the source dashed and stood in front of Watanabe, shielding her from any more of Saber's attacks.
Itano grinned and finally got up once she realized who came. She summoned her dagger and went on a one-on-one with Saber herself.
Watanabe looked at the one who saved her. She smiled at Watanabe and patted her head.
"Jurina...?" Watanabe almost cried as she hugged her savior. Jurina wasn't uncomfortable, yet she was glad the older girl needed her at that time. They then looked at the fight.
Saber was owning. It was as if the sword itself became lighter. She was faster and far stronger that Itano. The shorter girl was sweating as she tries to parry each of the attacks that was sent, but her movements became slower and slower as each attack was swung and thrust. She managed to make eye contact with Jurina and asked for her help. The younger girl understood and quickly took out a bead that she has saved in her pocket. She flicked her bead while muttering a mantra which couldn't be heard by Watanabe. The bead was shot at Saber's direction as Itano backed away. Saber didn't have time to react but she managed to block the 'missile' using her sword.
An explosion was seen and heard. The smoke rose and eventually disappeared. They saw the hurt Saber with a few scars, some from the fight and some from the previous one. Saber was getting more angry by the minute and suddenly a light shone from the blade itself. Things were getting messy just when
"Acchan, stop." an ordered was heard from Rena and Saber stopped her action, walking back to Rena as if it was inevitable.
Jurina looked at the new person in front of her. She looked beautiful, even with the scars all over her body. Her silky long hair swayed with the winds as Saber came to her. Her eyes were deadly beautiful. Jurina looked at the deadly eyes and eventually asked. "Who are you?" she directed the question to the girl.
Rena's face looked disappointed for a moment but she eventually smiled and answered. "I'm Rena. The Assassin." she ended her introduction.
"Assassin... so my guess was right." Watanabe came forward and looked at Rena, challenging her in a way.
"Right about what?" Rena puts on a farce and half-glared at the girl.
Watanabe took a breather and then looked at Saber before looking at the girl, Rena. "If I wasn't mistaken, Assassins were agile but there was something wrong with you..." she said and continued. "You weren't using your feet, were you?"
The others' eyes shot open as they looked at Rena, who grinned and allowed Watanabe to continue. "I was right, huh?" Watanabe also grinned. "You weren't using your feet, so the question is, why? There were many mythical creatures or even heroes that could levitate itself in the magical era, but judging from what you did to Acchan, there could only be one person who could do that... No..." she closed her eyes to search for a better word. "A clan."
"Hypnotism."
Rena said. She answered her question and chuckled, amused by the younger girl's correct guess. "You're really as smart as your alternate self." she then looked at Jurina for a bit before announcing. "My given name is Matsui Rena. My real name... is Vlad. The daughter of Vlad II. And my other name..."
"Count Dracula."
Watanabe uncovered Assassin's identity.
======
"GAH!" Kojima gritted her teeth as she blocked Oshima's attack my levitating an unknown bolder, almost crushing the smaller girl, as the girl managed to avoid it.
Oshima catched her breath and looked at the situation she was in. Kojima didn't move, and only stayed in one spot, levitating the elements around her using her wand. Oshima clicked her tongue, still couldn't identify the girl's real identity. Caster-class servants are one of the most difficult to identify. There were many legendary magicians and sorcerers in the time of magic but to actually identify the sorcerer by the magic he or she uses, is difficult.
No, she was actually thinking elsewhere. She didn't have her mind in the fight. She was thinking of what happened before. A beam of light was seen from the direction of the gate but there was nothing since then. The clashing of metal wasn't there anymore, and she heard Itano's shout, calling the name of the person she loved dear.
"Mind the fight, Yuu-chan." A rock flew at her direction and crashed the spot she was in, thankfully she changed her position at the time.
She summoned up another pair of her usual black and white blades, replacing the broken ones that was broken due to her blocking the rocks that was shot at her way. She scanned the area and see that Kashiwagi was mumbling a mantra, readying her attack.
She then dashed towards Kojima, keeping her busy. Just when she was about to lose it,
"Yuko!" she heard the shout of Kashiwagi and backed away.
Just then, a few daggers were shot at Kojima, she managed to avoid most of it, but one managed to scratch her. Kojima smirked at Kashiwagi, even though she already knew that the girl was planning something, she never imagined her using the daggers that were in her pockets. She then realized something, and looked at Oshima. Oshima dashed forward at the chance, swinging her blades at her.
"Time's up."
A figure was then summoned right in front of them. The figure was someone Oshima knew.
"Rena?!" Oshima was surprised by the sudden situation unfolding in front of her.
Someone was summoned. Only a master can summon a servant. If Rena was summoned to protect Kojima, then it could only mean one thing.
"NyanNyan... you're Rena's master." she finally made a conclusion and the two nods.
It wasn't impossible, but it was probably unheard of. A servant becoming a master. There was once a similar situation in the 5th War but that was the last time. To see it happening right in front of them is ridiculous, or so Kashiwagi thought.
"Pretty much." Rena chuckled and continued. "But... there's also another one."
Oshima felt a sudden bloodthirst coming from her behind. She couldn't move. She knew that if she moved, she would be safe, but moving meant that she had to accept the reality. The reality in which she didn't want to admit the most. The reality of knowing the familiar bloodlust.
"Acchan, it's okay." Rena ordered and stopped Saber.
The bloodlust was gone and Oshima still didn't move. She didn't dare look up. She didn't dare look up at the figure that wanted to kill her just moments ago.
"Yuu-chan, face reality." She heard the voice coming from her former close friend, Kojima.
Oshima bit her lips and finally faced forward to see her best friend and new enemy.
"Acchan..." was all that she could mutter.
"We need to get going. You've already fought Acchan so there's no need to stay here much longer." Kojima said as she looked at Rena and then Saber.
"Yeah, let's go." Rena said and smiled.
"Wait!" Oshima stopped them, more specifically, Saber, that was about to leave. She stretched out her hands as she tries to reach for her back that was almost disappearing. The back which she loved the most. It was as if time stopped that moment. No. She wanted it to stop. She didn't want to let go of her. She didn't want to lose her. But... Reality... Is cruel.
They dispersed into air and what was left, was nothingness. Oshima grabbed absolutely nothing. She finally broke down, as she lost the sight of her best friend. Kashiwagi, who was quiet the whole time, came and comforted the shorter girl. The cries of one squirrel could be heard that night throughout the city. News reached to Lancer as she looked down from the tree, and disappeared to tell her Master, the news 'Of the Ace's disappearance'.
[Chapter 3 END]
-
I don't know the story behind FSN I just played the PvP part :lol: that's why it surprises me every update and confuses a bit, but I can bear with it XD
anyway, Yuko-sama :mon cry: I feel so sad for my AtsuYuu feels :cry:
-
I feel you!! ^ :mon dunno:
that's why I couldn't comment before as per update and i didn't wanna spoil myself if in case this story follows the real plot, is it? :nervous
the ending part is so heavy for me to bear, I believe in my AtsuYuu :heart: :bow: thanks for the update :) and yeah I still read duh? :P
-
AT, I feel you as well, man... Dem AtsuYuu feels... Though I'm probably going to get killed here if yar seeking for AtsuYuu >.>
imteedee, nah, it doesn't follow it much. It would probably follow the big events such as what is shown before, the main chara almost being killed by Lancer. I won't tell any more since it might spoil the surprise XD Plus, it's the 8th war, not the 5th~
For some reason, I felt like continuing.. Probably coz I've lost my spirit... Anywho, here's some update for those who are reading XD
[Chapter 4 Part I]
Silence filled the Watanabe's home. No one bothered to say anything. Oshima was plopped on the floor, hugging her knees, sobbing inside. She was like that for almost 2 hours. Crying for something that they all knew. The disappearance of her best friend.
"Yuko..." Watanabe called out to her, almost as if pleading the girl to stop.
She wasn't very fond of Archer's weak side. Usually by that time, she would've been sparring with her, losing to her in ways that could irritate the younger girl.
For some reason, Oshima's sobs stopeed. Everyone's eyes were on her as Oshima stood up and grabbed Watanabe's shoulders. The surprised younger girl felt the sudden increase of the room's temperature. Everyone's eyes shot open, as they heard a dull sounding thump in front of them. The younger girl was sent flying to the floor by Archer's fist. They blood-shot eyes of Archer could be seen as she leaped onto the poor younger girl, raising her arms yet again at Watanabe whose cheeks were already swollen red.
"ARCHER! I COMMAND YOU TO NOT MOVE!"
Jurina's command was heard in the household. By her command, Archer was stopped silent. She wasn't moving. Only her tears and her red eyes remained, glaring at the girl. Watanabe hesitantly got up with the help of Kashiwagi, who was also surprised of the scene. Itano stood in between Yuko and Watanabe as the younger girl distanced herself from the raged woman in front of her.
"IT'S ALL HER FAULT!" Oshima shouted, cursing the girl in many ways, "IT'S ALL HER DAMN FAULT FOR ACCHAN'S DISAPPEARANCE!" she continued, not stopping her glare. "YOU WERE WITH HER AT THAT TIME BUT COULDN'T DO ANYTHING!" she gritted her teeth, letting everything out, the criticism, the pain and the loneliness "YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE ACCHAN'S MASTER!"
Her shout echoed, leaving the shocked Watanabe, who didn't know what to do. It was true. She was there but she couldn't do a damn thing. Only looking at her, only surviving without her, only relying on others' strengths. She couldn't talk back at all to Oshima's criticism. Because she already knew... She was useless.
The others looked at Watanabe, who's head is down, looking at the floor in sadness. Oshima's words sunk deeply into her membranes, the word 'USELESS' played in her mind, almost as if hypnotizing the poor girl. Jurina, who couldn't stand what was going on, hugged Watanabe tightly, sinking the poor girl into her breasts. Her warmth transmitted to the cold body of Watanabe's. Was she cold? Didn't she feel the heat of Oshima's bashing? Then why did she feel the coldness more? She couldn't understand it... She couldn't understand why she was crying right there and then.
Watanabe sobbed in Jurina's chest, letting the pain and guilt inside her flee from her, using Jurina as a temporary pain-soother. Kashiwagi sighed and looked at the situation with the other two. Then she saw Itano slapped Oshima out of nowhere. The echoes of the slapping sound could be heard in the living room. Oshima was stunned, she could already move because the Commands are only 'temporary' magic, but she also couldn't because of the slap from her close friend. Itano glared at the girl. She wasn't using her 'eyes', but the glare petrified the shorter girl. Itano gritted her teeth and then half-shouted to the girl.
"Even if you're there, you couldn't do shit, Oshima."
Itano's words dealt an invisible damage to Oshima, as she bit her lips, looking down in shame. It was true, though. She didn't know if she could stop Maeda. She couldn't even stop her retreat even when she was there right in front of her. She denied the fact that something was wrong with her best friend. She could only stretch out her hand to absolute nothingness, at the space that was left.
"... I know..."
======
Rena leaned her back on the tree that was standing tall, higher than the others. She breathed a sigh of exhaustion, finally being free from the workload that was given to her. She then looked at the figure in front of her, lying on the grass, looking at the blue sky. She thought of interfering but she couldn't. She doesn't want to disturb the older girl's peace of mind. She then decided to talk to the girl next to her.
"Hey, Acchan, why did you follow us?"
The question was asked to Maeda who was leaning on the tree, right next to Rena. She didn't answer.
"My 'hypnotic eyes' could only control someone for a few minutes but it's been hours now. You sure you don't want to go back and surprise your master?"
Maeda broke her poker face and chuckled at the younger girl's comment. She looked above, at the sky Kojima was looking at and smiled at the younger girl.
"Who knows." She gave her her goofy smile "But." She stopped, looking down, as if confirming her ideals. " I want Mayuyu to grow..."
Rena laughed at Maeda's foolish false of hope. From what she has seen, it wasn't the Watanabe girl she was interested in, it was the girl's friend. Rena knows just how much Maeda loves to pamper Watanabe from her experience in the last war. She would either pamper her or Jurina. Since those two are on the same team, so of course Maeda didn't mind.
"If I recall, information says that you actually don't remember much about your life during your Heroic ages." Rena smirked, digging up more useful information, not disclosing who or what did she hear that from.
"I don't." Maeda honestly answered.
Rena was silenced. She didn't know how to react. If it was true that Maeda didn't remember much of her past, then how...
"How did you summon up 'Excalibur, King Arthur?" Rena asked, using Maeda's past name, hoping to make the girl remember.
"Sorry, but I have no idea." Atsuko replied, with a wry smile on her face. "I don't know but it seemed like I've recalled it ever since the last war."
The mysteries just kept increasing. She didn't deny the fact that she was King Arthur. How did a girl become a 'King'? Well, Rena couldn't really judge Maeda for that. She herself was Count Dracula, the said 'Prince'. She didn't dare question her of such, since she also had a past which shouldn't be disclosed. She then heaved another sigh, then looking in front. Something was weird...
'Where's Haruna?'
======
"Well nice to meet you again, Yuu-chan." the girl smiled at her former friend.
Yuko glared at the girl. She was actually on her way to the park, to get some fresh air and calm down but then right in front of her was Kojima Haruna, in all her might, wearing robes in the summer yet nobody bat an eye to her. She sighed at her own misfortune, finding Caster of all people.
"What do you want, NyanNyan?" she tried to keep her usual smile, but failed. She wasn't in the mood.
"I want you to make a deal." she answered honestly, her smile still didn't fade.
"Is this about Acchan?" she asked. If not for that, she would've ran away a long time ago. She didn't want to fight the girl who claimed Maeda yet. Not until she sees the girl right in front of her very eyes.
"Ding ding ding ding~" Kojima playfully made bell noises, meaning that Oshima was correct. "I'll exchange Atsuko for one thing."
Oshima listened carefully. She was already ready to take the deal. She would do anything as to get Kojima's hands off her best friend.
"For you to be my slave."

[Watanabe Mayu's POV]
I woke up again, without her presence next to me. It felt cold. Colder than what I had thought. I was so used to her warmth that I didn't realize of how cold it was on the bed alone.
"'Morning, Mayuyu." Yukirin entered my room, not forgetting to knock. She's a good girl...
"Good morning..." I greeted back, giving her a pained smile. I couldn't give her anything more. I was too hurt to do such.
She smiled and then sat next to me on my bed, patting my head just like how Acchan patted me.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
It was obvious what was wrong but she's probably just trying to be considerate. One good thing about Yukirin is that she thinks of others before herself. I smiled wryly, 'Just some stuff' was all I could mutter. She seems to have heard my answer, as she chuckled a bit. Then like Acchan always does, she hugged me from behind, enveloping me in her arms. I felt the warmth of Yukirin and was comfortable in her embrace. I could smell the perfume she always used. I kinda felt pity for her, I was in my pajamas and didn't even bathe yet but she's holding me so tightly, so tight that I thought I was going to break from her strong embrace.
"Get stronger, Mayuyu..."
It wasn't an advice like 'Yuko didn't mean that, Yuko was just being idiotic, or it's not your fault.' She was actually thinking about me. She told me the one thing that I didn't want to hear but it's the only way out of my misery. At first I was shocked but then I smiled, leaning back to her embrace, closing my eyes as I accepted the warmth she was giving to me. I don't know why but it was as if she was already by my side. Acchan did say that she and I were really close in the last war but could it possibly mean that our feelings are still intact with each other? I don't know. And frankly, I don't care.
"Thanks, Yukirin..." I meant it from the bottom of my heart.
I could feel that Yukirin's grin grew wider, probably she's embarrassed by how she's embracing me so intently.
"You know what?" I suddenly asked, and she made a 'Hm?' reply. "If Acchan's my older sister, then Yukirin's my mama!"
Yukirin literally spat out something, shocked and mumbled unknown words to me. I just love how she overly reacts to small things such as these. Yukirin then pouted and said "I'm not that old!", throwing a tantrum as I ran away from my room, from the girl that was throwing pillows at me for some reason and laugh maniacally.
======
[Archer's POV]
"What...?" I asked, confused as to NyanNyan's condition.
She didn't look away. I thought she was going to crack a joke but no sign of her joking were seen. She wasn't laughing, she wasn't grinning foolishly like how she usually does. Just her straight look right into the eyes of mine.
"You..." I was surprised.
I have suspected it for a long time, but I never dared to bring it up. I was the one who actually broke things up with her, chasing Acchan with my own two feet. I put all of my affection to Acchan and NyanNyan knows it but...
"You're still in love with me?" I asked, and she smirked.
It wasn't much of a surprise. I could remember when we were in AKB48, the last war. I was always clinging to her, all affectionate and all. And when I cling to other girls, she would have some sort of black aura around her, just like how a certain raven-haired girl would have, after finding out her 'daughter' was playing around with people's butts.
"Yuu-chan..." NyanNyan said affectionately, as she moved closer to me, and I took a step back each step she takes, trying to avoid her at all cost. "I'm more beautiful than her, my breasts, what you like the most, are bigger than hers and I would love her more than she ever did." NyanNyan said, suddenly with a serious face. "But why won't you look at me, and only me?"
Sweat dropped as I tried to search for an escape route. I couldn't. There were traps all around. She had already embedded her magic on the damn earth. If I want to escape, then I'd have no choice but to use my Noble Phantasm... Enraged by what NyanNyan said, I half-shouted,
"You may think that, but Acchan is my greatest love. I love her more than anyone. She's more beautiful and lovely than anyone. Heck, I don't even care even she's flat-chested! I don't need her to love me, because I'll be chasing her til' the end!"
I really thought that. I have loved Acchan ever since I first met her in the last war. Even before I found out that she was King Arthur. Her every movement, her affection, her voice, I love everything about her. And I won't change that for anything. Even if she rejects me for a million times, I'm friggin Oshima Yuko!
"NOW!" I shouted, 'summoning' my two blades, Kansho and Bakuya
(http://www.amazonmandy.com/cosplay/others/ArcherKanshoBakuya.jpg)
Then, as if it was on signal, Jurina came out as well from the bushes, shooting her beads to NyanNyan.
"You!" NyanNyan was probably surprised by my act. I grinned evilly, striking at her the moment she lost it. The hit came to her right shoulder as she tried to avoid it.
She was injured but not for long.
"Yo."
Oh, tough luck. Here comes the troublemaker.
"Nice to see you again, huh, Rena?" I greeted Rena, whose side has Acchan.
I wasn't that weak anymore. If Mayuyu's hypothesis was correct, Rena's hypnotism would only last for a couple of minutes, since it follows the same principal of how a 'Command' works. I grinned as I felt the ominous presence behind me. I didn't move nor did I do anything. I could tell that she was surprised and I quickly turned around and kissed her right off the blue.
She was trying to get away, trying to gasp for as I slid my tongue inside her mouth, not minding that the enemies and my Master's around us. I let her go as I felt the glare of NyanNyan, digging holes with her eyes.
I wiped my mouth from the mixture of me and Acchan's drools. "So that's about it. I've woken my princess up from slumber~" I jokingly said, holding a peace sign as I grinned at NyanNyan and Rena. Both Rena and Jurina smirked while NyanNyan was still glaring holes at me.
"Y- You idiot..." Acchan, surprised by what I just did, was red to her ears as she tries to cover her face with her hands.
I grinned wider as I saw how cute Acchan was acting and then I saw the figures of Mayuyu, Yukirin and Tomochin coming over to us. It seemed as if Yukirin has already set up a perimeter around the area, meaning that NyanNyan couldn't escape that easily anymore.
"So let us start our counterattack, ey, Acchan~?" I asked the girl who finally grinned and stood up.
"I thought you'd never ask, Yuko." she puts on her goofy smile that I loved so much.
[To be Continued]
======
Know that I've changed Assassin, since Rena's not really the type to just sit around 'keeping the gate safe from harm'. She's not much of a Gatekeeper after all.

-
imteedee, which banner? O.O'' LoL
AT, AtsuMayu sisterly love~ And as for Mayuki... I think that would probably happen~
So here's another part~
[Chapter 4 part II]
"Hey, Yuko."
"What is it, Acchan?"
"Er... I don't know how to say this in this situation..."
"I'll answer if I can."
"What do you like about me?"
"Acchan..." Oshima bit her lip as she tried to calm herself down. "Please don't be all lovey-dovey when we're fighting here, Acchan. Save it for the bed tonight."
Oshima smirked as she was satisfied with what Maeda had asked while the younger girl was blushing madly, dodging the strikes from Kojima as Rena was trying to damage Itano. Itano chuckled at their conversation which led to her almost getting hit by one smiling Rena.
"I- Idiot! I- It's not like I asked because I liked you or anything!" came the tsuntsun response from Maeda who was then hit in the head by a small pebble, property of the jealous Kojima.
"Love birds these days. They don't know when to stop loving each other." Rena joked and dodged Itano's attacks.
"So true. But hey, don't you want to glomp on the one you usually glomp?" Itano smirked, causing the younger girl to feel awkward.
"Eyes on the match, Itano." Rena managed to get a hit on Itano's right shoulder with her nails, making the older girl to instinctively jump back and distanced herself.
As Itano distanced herself, Rena was suddenly attacked at her sides, though she managed to dodge it. She sighed as she saw the attacker landed herself between Itano and her. The attacker, Matsui Jurina, threw a few beads into Rena's direction and the older girl dodged it again no problem.
Things were looking okay with Rena since she has no problem facing both Jurina and Itano but Kojima, however, wasn't doing fairly well. Kojima gritted her teeth as she was attacked by Watanabe who had enforced a wooden stick and also another girl who was following behind the smaller girl, Kashiwagi.
"Ain't it unfair for you guys to gang up on me like that?" Kojima joked a bit as she bent a tree using her magic, separating herself and the two younger.
"Ain't it unfair for you to use magic?" Watanabe countered and threw a dagger she got from Kashiwagi to Kojima.
"Blame the creation of this world." Kojima slyly evaded the topic and also the dagger. "And mind separating those two love birds already?" she pointed at the two, Maeda who was blushing bright red, running away from Oshima who was drooling.
"Meh. Don't feel like it." Kashiwagi snickered at the jealous Kojima as she jumped from the tree and enchanted her knife with poison, throwing it to Kojima.
"I'll do that later." Jealous Watanabe was also jealous.
Kojima was getting more pissed by the minute and she exploded the dagger, causing her to become the main attention of the girls. Watanabe and Kashiwagi gritted their teeth and readied themselves for any future attacks by her.
Suddenly, Kojima's hair became white, and after a few seconds, she disappeared into thin air. This caused the others to feel surprised and took their fighting stance. Rena clicked her tongue and dashed to Maeda, who finally became serious. Maeda revealed Excalibur and as she attacked, Rena also disappeared. Maeda took her stance and in an instant, she flew. No, she was being grabbed!
"Acchan!" Oshima shouted, afraid of losing her again, but Maeda was already too far.
Before Oshima could dash to Maeda's direction, she was stopped by an old man in front of her. She avoided the old man but as she looked back, she was hit in the back by a sudden thunderbolt. Watanabe's eyes opened wide as she saw the old man in front of her, attacking Oshima.
"Jurina! Mayuyu! You two go after Acchan! Tomochin, Yuko and I will stay and take care of things here!" Kashiwagi said, almost shouting to boost her confidence.
Hearing the suggestion from Kashiwagi, Watanabe halted her actions and thought, biting her lips at how she should decide. She took a final glance at Oshima who was glaring at the old man as the older girl stood up with the help of Itano. Watanabe gulped hard and nodded, grabbing Jurina's hand and dashed to Maeda's direction.
The old man, with long white hair and beard, with a blue robe and a staff at his left hand, sighed and was about to attack the two retreating figures until Itano stopped him by standing in between. Itano took out her daggers and wrapped the old man in the chains of the dagger, followed by Oshima who slashed the old man with her two daggers. As they looked again, the old man had turned into a plank of wood. Their eyes shot open as they felt an ominous presence behind them. As they turned to look back, they were shot with a few pieces of wood.
They were hit directly and was badly damaged. Itano looked and saw the old man reciting a mantra. She had a bad feeling and grabbed Oshima's hands as she drags her away to Kashiwagi.
"Get on! NOW!" as they looked, Itano had summoned her Pegasus, and they rode it away from the place.
The old man smirked and after a few seconds before the girls' departure, his eyes turned white and-
"Lord of Vermillion."
Tens of lightning bolts strike down hard onto the area around the old man, and caused the forest to become indulged in flames. As the three girls looked back, the lightning strikes were coming right at them. Itano gritted her teeth and warned the others as she made the Pegasus flew faster, and once they had reached the tall tower, the lightning strikes stopped. They got off on the tower and Itano gave a sigh of relief.
"What the hell was that?" Kashiwagi asked as she tried to make out what had happened.
The sea of flames disappeared, almost as if magic and the assaults stopped. Itano shrugged her shoulders, unable to answer the unexplainable as she looked at Oshima who was observing something.
"You see anything with those eyes?" Itano asked.
"I can see their location, but I don't see that old man anywhere." Oshima answered as she looked back at Itano, only to be surprised and grabbed the two girls, evading themselves from the flying pieces of metal.
======
[Saber's POV]
I wrung my body as to escape from the clutches of my captive and fell to the ground safely, thanks to the captor not being able to fly me high enough. The bat changed it's from into Rena again and I smirked, thinking that it was probably true that they say vampires could turn themselves into bats. Rena stretched her body and looked at me again.
"Sorry about that." she apologized sincerely and I chuckled.
"Don't mind it. It's the first time I flew, probably." I smiled and took out my sword again.
"Then, sorry for anything that might happen to you from now on, Acchan." Rena said, coming closer to me.
I smirked and dashed forward, swinging my sword down to Rena, but she avoided it. I managed to use the momentum to swing my legs to her sides. It hit and she was clutching her side with one hand, and grabbed my shoulder with the other one. I made a conclusion of her next course of action and swung my sword upwards, making her step backwards instinctively. I also took a few steps back.
Just then, I heard familiar footsteps and I grinned. Rena sighed at the two 'nuisances', as she called it, and the two entered the clearings but then-
We heard a few thunderclaps followed by something burning. My eyes shot open as i looked at the direction Yuko and the others were at, in a sea of flames.
But I calmed down, believing that Yuko was alive. No- I want to believe it. I want it to happen. Rena apologized again and was disturbed by Jurina who flicked her beads to the her, causing the tree next to her to burn down and disappear to ashes. Rena was lucky that she was able to dodge that.
======
[General]
Rena sighed at the three who were ganging up on her and she smirked, finally making the weapon she should wield appear from air. Maeda also smirked, seeing that Rena was finally getting serious.
Count Dracula, whose real identity was actually Vlad the III, also known as the Lord Impaler, who brutally ended the lives of hundreds of his people. Though that was only his stage name. His real name, Vlad III, the daughter of Vlad II, who managed to hide her identity as a woman. Vlad had a sense of justice known to be that she would do anything to obtain it. Real-politics, as they say. She ended up impaling most of the people who opposed her with her weapon, and because of that, she was thought of to be someone she was not.
Her ways may be evil, but she did it all for justice, for the people she loved. But even so, she fell to the enemy's hands, her own enemy, her own brother.
She probably has the most fame of all the heroes in the War, excluding Arthur himself, who was far more famous and did many other good deeds even before Vlad was born.
Her Count Dracula form wasn't actually her real image, though it might be a little more powerful than her usual, but she couldn't obtain her Dracula's true form, probably because of her contract with another servant.
Rena's eye changed, into the color of gold, and Maeda took a few steps back, afraid of what's to come, but even so, she smiled. She smiled for her to finally be able to fight Rena fully again.
"Kazikli Bey..."
Maeda realized the sudden change in the younger girl's voice. She knew of it, and hinted the other two to run as fast as possible. Watanabe and Jurina obliged and in a few seconds, the sky turned dark for Maeda.
"The lord of Execution"
Suddenly, the ground around them shook and Maeda instinctively jumped back, and at the spot she had stood before, and also other spots, a few spears impaled itself from the ground, rising up, making Maeda tiptoe from the mass of spears impaling. She ran and ran to escape from the spears but it took to time at all for it to catch up and by the time she couldn't move, spears could be seen all around her.
"So this is your Noble Phantasm..." Maeda remarked and Rena smirked, grabbing a spear as she looked emotionless at Maeda.
Maeda gritted her teeth. She knew that a Noble Phantasm could only be broken by two things. One is to break it with another Noble Phantasm and the other is to kill the user.
Maeda heaved a sigh, hoping her plan would work.
A weakness of Count Dracula was that it was weak to holy attributes, and Rena couldn't escape her Dracula from no matter how hard she tried. Maeda gambled on the possibility and rose her sword above her head.
Excalibur itself is Arthur's favorite sword, given to her by the Lady of the Lake. It's Divine spiritual energy can be released by transmitting the prana from the wielder, Arthur herself.
Golden light shone itself on Saber's blade, causing Assassin to click her tongue. She knew just how little time she had to deploy her spear and she threw the spear with a hard throw at Maeda.
"EXCALIBUR!!!"
======
"It seems like you win." the old man said, fully healthy and unhurt.
Oshima and Itano were on their knees, unable to stand up at all, for the man was too much for them to take. Kashiwagi was also injured though not as much as the Servants. The old man sighed and his form changed once more to his original form.
"Rena-chan was defeated." the girl said.
"As expected, huh, NyanNyan?" Oshima joked, still unable to sit up too well but she managed.
======
They regrouped. Oshima restraining the Kojima who was a little too happy in being captured by the squirrel-like girl and Maeda sitting next to the exhausted Rena with Watanabe and Jurina.
"Victory is ours, huh?" Oshima said, but without much excitement, for she in actuality had lost to Kojima.
Meanwhile, Jurina and Kashiwagi were in the back, looking at each other worriedly.
"This... did you realize it?" Jurina asked Kashiwagi.
"Yeah..." Kashiwagi answered, then took a look at Watanabe.
"Things are going a little too well, don't you think?"
Just then, a three black figures appeared behind them. Itano reacted quickly stabbing the said figure quickly and it disappeared. Maeda avoided the black figure and stabbed the figure. Oshima, though was too exhausted and was bitten by the figure.
"Yuko!" the figure was then stabbed by another girl.
Everyone's eye was shot open as they looked at the one who saved Oshima. Wearing a Gakura, and a black headband, she wielded her spear magnificently, making the others in awe.
"Sae-chan..." Kashiwagi greeted her friend who was supposed to be killed a few months prior.
Before she could demand the older girl of an explanation, Miyazawa interrupted the group.
"I know you've got some questions unanswered but for now, follow me to my Master. Things are going to get a little more complicated after this."
============
A girl with short brown hair yawned as she realized something. She faced her Master, who was drinking tea and smiled.
"Seems like the real show's going to start." the taller girl said to her Master.
"I see..." the shorter girl also smiled and put her cup of tea down, sitting up from her chair and looking out the window of her mansion. "Should we see how this goes?"
============
[2XXX BC]
A lone girl sat on the throne, her arm supporting her head a she drifted into slumber. Her eyes slowly opened, for she had realized something. She smirked and stood up, finally moving. The girl walked towards the door, and finally opened it.
"I'm coming, Atsuko."
[Chapter 4 - The point of change END]
I think it's becoming a little messed up... Dunno why
-
I'm really getting confused now :nervous wait I'll re-read everything! but I can say you really write 'action scenes' well :P I LOLed at the little KojiYuu moment there :lol: and OH...
And as for Mayuki... I think that would probably happen~
:w00t:
Mari-chan is going baaack? :bleed eyes: and another villain uh-oh :nervous now I'm scared!
oh you changed it though, I like the Acchan wide-shot with a script below :) :wub:
-
imteedee, ikr? I was thinking of re-reading it myself. But I'm not in the mood to read something non-AtsuYuu. Wait, there ARE a few moments here and there >.> You know I just can't ignore MaYuki, can I XD And yeah, another villain which I've thought of introducing since the start~
So here's another chapter. ROSALINDA AYAMOR! <Why the hell did I just write that?
============
"I am at your commands, my liege." The girl with black shoulder-length hair said, as she bowed to her Master.
"Just call me by my name. Calling me 'my liege', is kinda outdated, don't you think, Atsuko?" the Master said, chuckling at her servant's behavior.
"E- Err... I- I'll try." Maeda stuttered, feeling the presence of the older far more superior.
"From now on, we'll be together forever~" the Master said, smiling magnificently.
"R- Really?" Maeda blushed, for it was the first time someone in that world has declared so charmingly.
"Yup! Best friends forever!"
======
"You are to become the Center girl." the man spoke, causing the girl's eyes to be filled with tears, from both shock and depression.
"NO!" she firmly rejected, looking at the man with menace.
"This is your one in a lifetime chance, Maeda." the man spoke again, trying to convince her.
"No means no! I don't want to be the cause of everyone's pain ever again!" the girl declined again, this time, hugging her own body, as if she was cold.
The girl's eyes became unfocused as she reminisced of what happened in her past. The blood splatter, the cause of why she was even in the war in the first place. The man sighed, standing up and left the room, for he wanted the girl to think of it. Being pressured wasn't the right way to convince a person. Maeda sat on the chair, head down, thinking of any way to avoid the man's decision, for she did not want to become the said 'Center'.
"Atsuko..." hearing the voice behind her, Maeda's depressed face, was filled with a happy smile, for she knew her friend was there for her.
"You are to take that offer."
Maeda's eyes shot open, as she heard the unbelievable command from her own Master. Tears started to roll down her cheeks as she looked at her friend, who was looking at her in disgust. Her mouth gaped open, mumbling her name, denying what she had heard, but her body and mind spoke otherwise.
"By your will."
She wanted to protest, she actually could, but the shock from her very own friend's command, who even knew what her past was like, was too much for her to take. Her mind went blank and what followed after, was years of hardships, and an unbelievable amount of hate for Maeda, from the audiences, the agency, and even from her very own members. All of it, was coming from the betrayal by her best friend.
[Chapter 5 Part I - Explanations]
"Welcome, Arthur, Mayu, Vlad, Yuki, Jurina."
The figure said, at the same place as before.
"Akimoto-sensei, Yukirin's outside with Tomochin and... Lancer, for your information." Watanabe told her the status.
"I see..." Akimoto only smirked and looked at everyone. "So the real battle is going to start anytime soon."
Everyone sat down quietly, eyeing the teacher to explain herself. The atmosphere grew heavy as they couldn't talk much. They were eagerly waiting for something. Something that could explain the sudden insecurity of their hearts. In the Second Science Lab, Watanabe sat on top of Maeda's lap, while Oshima was clinging on the poor Saber's left arm. Rena was awkwardly sat next to Rena, who was keeping quiet most times. The younger girl eyed Rena, afraid and awkward at the same time, whilst she was still feeling something else in her heart.
"What's wrong?" Rena realized the stare of the younger girl and asked, unneeded of any 'weird' atmospheres.
"N- Nothing!" Jurina flinched from the sudden attention from the older girl and apologized.
Rena decided to shrug it off and focused on something far more important, more important than the weird love triangle in front of her-
"Okay, can you three just stop being lovey dovey already? You're making the atmosphere feel bad."
-though Jurina couldn't take it anymore and scoffed at the three. Rena sighed and patted the younger girl's shoulder.
"Feel AND smell bad." Rena added, which caused the younger girl to chuckle at her joke.
Oshima let go of her best friend's arms- reluctantly, if I may add. Watanabe giggled evilly, for she was the Master of the said best friend. Oshima hissed and turned her attention to the bored Akimoto while Maeda could only laugh wryly at the situation she had went through.
"So, ask away, as per usual."
======
[Rider's POV]
I yawned as I looked at the awkward situation in front of me. Two girls sat next to each other, leaning to the wall, just next to the door to the Second Science Lab. Yuki was obviously looking down, almost as if crying and Sae could only smile, a pained smile, that is. I urged Sae to move on with it, since it's not good to make the others wait while they're doing this... thing... with each other which I can't explain.
"Sae, speak." I urged her, and she nodded.
"Sorry about making you the third wheel, Tomochin..." Yuki was the one who apologized.
"Don't mind it." I smiled at her, squatting down as I pat her head.
"Un..." the girl's cries was more than obvious. Probably even the oblivious Sae could sense it by now.
Yuki actually forced me to come with her as she wanted to talk to Sae about what had actually happened and I reluctantly accepted, since I know she would even use the damned Command Seal because she's embarrassed. Man, what would have happened if she's in the bedroom with some guy and she summoned me there, just to ask about things... Whoa, imagine the guy's awkward face...
It's actually pretty easy to understand Yuki. I sympathized with the Cyborg Girl in AKB who actually had to spend her time with her so much, but then again, after I spent some time with this, 'Mamarin', or so fans called her, I found out that she's pretty sweet, so much for her 'BLACK' nickname.
"Any questions, Yukirin?" Sae asked, still not losing her smile and I retracted my hand from Yuki's head, allowing them to talk privately, though there's no way Yuki would let me to literally leave them alone.
"Un..." Yuki held her breath and looked at Sae, this time, she was all ready for it, "You know what my first question's going to be." she glared at Sae, which made me chuckle at the scene. "What happened the last time I saw you...?"
Sae heaved a sigh and looked at me, signaling me with her eyes, saying that it's okay for me to listen in. I don't actually mind. It's not like there's gonna be some lovey dovey confession of some sort from all the bottled up feelings of the pair. Okay, now I sound like Mayu. Curse that mouse...
"Then let me ask you first." Sae dodged the question with a new one. "What DID you see?"
Yuki was at loss for words at first but then looked at me, lost. I sighed at the unbelievably helpless Master I have and explained to Sae what she saw. About her seeing Sae being stabbed with weapons of sort and was leaning on the wall, blood covered all over.
Sae listened intently and nodded at my explanation. Then she looked at Yuki. This time, with resolve burning in her eyes, far from the usual playful Sae.
"Yukirin, remember carefully. What EXACTLY you saw." she told the younger girl, and Yuki flinched.
It took a couple of minutes. Yuki was holding her head down, thinking and trying to remember the scene she probably didn't want. I took the chance to sit next to her and calmed her down as I soothed her back, patting it with my hand.
"You were standing up..." She finally spoke.
"There was somebody behind you...
You were stabbed by spears...
Blood evident on it...
You were shielding the one behind you...
You were looking at the corner of the room...
I don't know what you were looking at but...
You were looking at it with disgust..."
She explained to us what she saw and I patted her back, saying 'There there... You can stop now' and she did, she hugged me and I patted her head next. Like a mother and her child, or as Sae said. Sae nodded, saying that it was exactly that.
"Who was that? And how are you even alive?" I asked, even though I know that she was actually dead once in her past. I mean, who wasn't?
"Mariko."
Just that name could make me imagine of what actually happened. She didn't even need to explain more. All I need to know is that it was Mariko, and I can already make out of what she went through. I sighed and Yuki parted from the hug, finally able to take a breather.
"And as for why I'm still alive-" "Was the person you were shielding, your Master?" I interrupted her explanation, and she nodded.
I smirked as to what I thought of. When I was in AKB, I learned a bit of Japanese history from some institute called 'School' and there I learned of a loyal man. The man who died while protecting his lord. The man that was stabbed multiple times with arrows, spears and swords, but he still stood, not making way for the enemy to go to his lord. The man, or as I thought he was, was actually someone pretty famous.
"Musashibou Benkei."
I spoke of the name and Sae's eyes shot open, and she smirked, meaning that my guess was accurate.
"Surprising you know of me." Sae said, as she was trying to hold in a chuckle or two, probably of ridiculing me.
"I learn as well, Miyazawa. I went to 'school' in the last war, remember?" I crossed my arms, and rolled my eyes, at the ridicule I have gotten from her.
"You don't look like the type to 'learn', Tomochin." Yuki chuckled, and I looked at my Master who had betrayed me with an imaginary stab in the heart.
"Fine! I'll just leave you two alone then!" I pouted, for the first time ever and stood up but the two of them held me down, laughing their asses off.
After a few moments of me sulking and the other two trying to comfort me, nah no actually, they were teasing me even more, I finally accepted whatever. Man, what's with these two? BLACK Yukirin and Ikemen Sae, teasing ME. Now I know how some midget feels.
"So you're really Sae-chan, right?" Yuki asked, this time, for security.
Sae smiled and patted her head.
"I'm real, Yukirin. And I'm here for you."
Okay, now the atmosphere's REALLY getting too pinky and lovey dovey. Makes me sick. Man, how I wished my Master was someone like... er... Sayaka? Yeah, Sayaka sounds good. She's level-headed and not really the type to be all cutesy cutesy bout this. But still, when I looked at the smiling Yuki, there's already a sense of relief. A relief, like a mother has for her child who had gotten past an obstacle. I shook my head, erasing all of these sweet thoughts and disturbed their moment.
"Hey, so mind if we go inside now?"

[General POV]
The three, Kashiwagi, Miyazawa and Itano entered, and was welcomed by the sight of Jurina hugging Rena and Maeda trying to strip Oshima whilst Watanabe could only watch in amazement as she drools of what she was seeing. Akimoto was sighing and sleeping on her desk, which made Itano take back what she just thought.
"Okay, what happened?" Itano asked Watanabe who was hyperventilating and murmuring 'RAPE' all over.
"Ah, actually..."
======
-FLASHBACK of one Watanabe Mayu-
"Err. I think we should wait for Mama and the other two to finish." I said, actually letting out something I should've kept to myself.
"Mama???" Acchan looked at me, surprised and then came a teasing smile.
My cheeks became redder as I realized my mistake and I looked at the others. Yuko was laughing aloud, clutching her stomach from all the laughing, Jurina was looking lost as usual, and Assassin was chuckling, probably because she knew who I meant by that name.
"Seriously? And I thought you were my sister~" Acchan joked and hugged me. "I won't ever ever admit Yukirin of being my mother~!!!"
"S- She's not! I just slipped my tongue, that's all!" I denied but the others were with a knowing teasing smile.
"RIGHT~" Akimoto-sensei teased and she looked at Jurina. I looked as well to see her asking the girl next to her.
"Err... Rena-san? Who did she mean by 'Mama'?" she asked Assassin, better known for her name as 'Rena'.
"Who knows. Probably your new friend. Rider's Master." Rena answered, still with the smile on her face, different from when she fights.
"Ah... No wonder they're so close..." this time, Jurina seemed a little bit let down.
"Jealousy finally crept up to you, kid?" Rena asked in a teasing manner, and patted her head, whispering something to her.
Jurina blushed bright red and stood up, surprised. After a few seconds, her eyes shone brightly and...
"Ooh! You're GOOD! I like you!" Jurina smiled cheerfully and hugged Rena, and the taller girl was writhing in pain, trying to escape from her.
Yuko, seeing this, looked at Acchan.
"Why don't you EVER hug me that intimately?" Yuko pouted, looking at Acchan.
"Huh? I do, right? Like, in the last war." Acchan defended.
"No, that's just service. I want you to hug me and scream out you love me while kissing me senseless!" Yuko declared, fangirling.
"... How many times do I have to say this? I don't love you in that way, Yuko."
"You do, Acchan. It's just that you don't realize your overly unbearable love towards me~"
"Err... No."
"You love me, Acchan! And that's a fact!"
"..."
"One day, you would cry out and ask to be loved by me while I only shrug it off~"
"..."
"Though I'd probably strip you naked and make you want my body and all~"
"..."
"THE Maeda Atsuko as my lover, wanting my skilled hands to touch her~ Oh, what a s-"
Before Yuko could finish her sentence, she finally realized that Acchan's eyes turned to something far more than she had seen. Her aura became dark and Yuko could see the death from Acchan's eyes. Acchan slowly and quietly laughed, the laugh of someone pissed. Okay, she's pissed.
"Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukooooooooooooo~" Acchan singsonged, holding Yuko in her arms, more like squeezing her. "You incorrigible, you know that~?"
I was already shielding myself at Akimoto-sensei's desk, as we both watched the scary scene unfold.
"Okay, wake me up when things are better." she said and slept, face on her arms which are on her desk.
I nodded and looked back at the scene.
"A- Acchan, t- that was just a light joke~" Yuko was trying to writhe her way out but it came to naught.
"Eh~? So does that mean Yuko doesn't like me?" Acchan puts her index on her lips and looked at the girl with a sad face. WOW! THAT'S FRIGGIN CUTE!
"Of course I love you!" Yuko couldn't take it and declared. I know the feel, Yuko. I really do.
"Then STRIP."
Okay, WUT?
"WUT?" Yuko asked, surprised.
"Don't you hear me? Don't you want it, Yuko? Don't you want to feel my hands roaming around your body? My lips on yours? And then my tongue slipped in between the caves of your lips, exploring your insides? And I move downwards, exploring your putting butterfly kisses on your body, and finally I meet with your caves, licking it clean as I press my fingers on the mounds of flesh on your chest?"
"A- Acchan..." Yuko's eyes turned blurry as she looked at Atsuko, lost as she tucked the hem of her skirt, since she was wearing my clothes, save for Acchan wearing Jurina's. I could feel myself drooling at this point.
"You would want that, don't you?"
"Yes..."
"Then~" with the sweet voice from Acchan, Yuko snapped out of her trance and looked at the taller girl in fear. "YOU'VE GOTTA STRIP!"
"NO!!!!"
-End of Mayu's FLASHBACK-
======
After hauling Maeda and Oshima on separate corners, making them self-evaluate on the things they had did, Itano hauled Jurina next to Maeda. Maeda could only hold her head down, regretting for whatever the hell she just did in her rage. Watanabe sulked, seeing that it was a good opportunity to see girl on girl rape, but she never realized of the burning pit of jealousy inside her heart. Rena, who was saved, sighed and glared at Jurina.
"Okay, I think that's enough fun for now." Akimoto clapped her hands once, directing the attention to her.
Seeing this, everyone sat on their seats. Maeda sat next to Oshima like nothing had happened and looked at Akimoto. Jurina was keen on listening and sat next to Rena, reminding herself to keep her hands to herself. Miyazawa stood next to Akimoto and listened to her Master.
"This war is false."
She said, making the others shocked but listened nonetheless. Watanabe crossed her arms and closed her eyes, thinking while listening to her teacher, and probably an enemy or foe.
"There's been sightings of a few unknown creatures around the area. We don't know what it is, but from what I've read, the creatures, the ones you've just faced, were released by some individuals." she said.
"Doesn't that just mean that there's another Master?" Watanabe asked.
"No, probably not. The War is set to only 7 Masters and 7 Servants. Any more could be blasphemy and the Grail would go haywire." Kashiwagi said.
"Which is probably what's happening now, huh?" Jurina asked, looking up.
"Correct. The Grail has gone haywire, and the reason is because there's an uninvited guest... Or probably even guests... that had stepped inside this war from nowhere." Akimoto explained.
"How about Caster? If she has the power to summon Rena, then-" Jurina said, but was interrupted by Oshima.
"She's not the one who did it, probably. Since her prana was already drained from everything." Oshima said, but stopped midway. "But..." she looked at Atsuko "She's probably going to call 'her'."
At Oshima's words, the servants flinched, remembering of a certain person. Watanabe caught it and looked at Maeda who was hugging herself. Watanabe swiftly and slyly, propped herself on Maeda's lap, and enveloped her arms around the girl's neck, comforting her.
"Then does that mean that the grail is not going to appear?" Itano asked.
"It will." Akimoto answered confidently. "That's what I believe in, anyway." Akimoto shrugged her shoulders and Miyazawa chuckled.
"So, what is your proposal?" Watanabe caught into Akimoto's plan and asked her. Akimoto smirked at the question.
"Pretty sharp, Mayu. Yes, I propose that we make a stand for now. Just until the nuisances are out of the way." Akimoto said.
"Does that include Berserker as a nuisance?" Watanabe asked again, and Akimoto's grin grew wider.
"A little too sharp. I see." Akimoto chuckled and looked at the girls "Yes. That includes Mariko."
The atmosphere became heavy as there was a stare-off between Akimoto and Watanabe. Everyone kept quiet, wanting Watanabe to answer the call for whatever she believes in. And after a few moments passed,
"Sure." Watanabe finally accepted, and smirked "Though I'm guessing the others will accept nonetheless." she chuckled.
Everyone smiled at the answer she gave and gave each other knowing looks, for they had gained a new ally.
"But..." Akimoto looked at them again, "I want two others to accompany me, a Master and a Servant."
"What for?" Watanabe asked.
"In London, there is a Magi library in which tells the tales of the last wars, and the Grail itself, probably. I want to research in there and find out exactly what or who we're up against. I don't know if there's gonna be any merit in doing so, but that's the only lead I've got for now. So I want two of you to accompany me, to London."
Watanabe thought and looked at Maeda, still on her lap. Maeda smiled, permitting her to do as she pleases.
"A Master and a Servant. You know that we couldn't trust you, so you're trying to gain our trust by making the situation hard on you, as you alone are not strong enough to take on both. Nice tactic, sensei." Watanabe chuckled.
"Okay, you catch on things way too quickly." Akimoto sighed.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Watanabe grinned dorkily.
"And your answer?"
Watanabe thought for a while and finally opened her mouth.
"I'll get back to you on that. It's not my place to choose two people to go to London, and I'm guessing they're NOT going to let me go there myself." Watanabe said, "So, how about you two stay with us for the time being?"
[To be Continued]
I don't know if that AtsuYuu scene was legal or not but I'll get back to that... someday... Or later~

”It hurts…”
A girl was in chains, her eyes red from crying and her hands were bound by chains to absolute nothingness. She couldn’t move an inch. All she could do was sit there, waiting for something to happen. Waiting in the void of darkness for something she thought would be impossible. She looked ahead of her, and still saw nothing. She sighed and then continued to look down in despair.
Then as if an electric vibe hit her suddenly, she jolted upwards, her eyes shot open by how fierce the current was. Yet this time, she was smiling. She knew it. She realized it.
“Finally…”
She looked in front of her again and this time, there was a mirror. A mirror and inside, showing was not her reflection, but something far more than she desired. Of course she doesn’t want to look at her pathetic self. She wanted to see someone.
Inside the mirror, a girl was trying to escape from another taller girl who was holding some sort of spear. Just one look and she smiled, looking at the taller girl. The girl, chained in the darkness, laughed after so long. She was happy; happy that she could see her friend again.
The girl in the mirror was in a tight spot. She could die any second. The taller girl raised her spear and was going to behead the shorter girl, yet the shorter girl did nothing.
The girl in the darkness clicked her tongue and then in an outburst of emotion and memories of her past life,
“LIVE!”
She screamed from the top of her lungs. The girl in the mirror, almost like she suddenly got the message, avoided the spear by a hair’s length. She survived.
“I see…”
The girl in the darkness smiled, amused by the outcome. She then stood up; or at least trying to. The chains were still bound to her. She didn’t pay any heed to them. She wanted to help the girl. She wanted to break the chains and come to her aide. She wanted to become her savior.
She wanted her as her master.
“Excalibur.”
Like a gust of wind manifesting in her hand, a sword emerged out of it. The sword, the golden sword known by legends as the sword which was entitled as ‘The sword engraved in the stone’, the sword she got from the Lady of the Lake, who was actually none other than her right hand, the ‘man’ who helped her in the times of need, was finally by her side again after years of waiting.
She knew that her master was the girl in the mirror.
With an outburst of strengths, she broke the chains, swinging her sword at it, creating a small-sized tornado in the process. She smiled happily and then stood up in front of the mirror.
Her sword then disappeared.
“Any last words?” the taller girl In the mirror asked, readying her spear after the shorter girl got away, but failed.
The girl in the darkness then placed her hand on the mirror, readying herself as well. She believed in the girl. She believed in her even after a certain someone had betrayed her long ago. She wanted to believe. She wanted to believe again.
“I WANT TO LIVE!” the girl in the mirror shouted, determination could be seen in her eyes. Like a burning flame inside her black orbs in the eyes.
The girl then smirked, her hand forming a fist.
“Then I shall grant you just that, Mayu!” then the girl broke the mirror.
The ones who volunteered to go for the so-called ‘trip’ to London was Jurina, who said that she always wanted to try and travel outside of Japan. Of course Mayu protested, saying that she doesn’t want Jurina to leave her, but still in her usual tsuntsun ways.
“Then I’ll be leaving now, guys.” Jurina bid her farewell to the other girls.
“Bye-bye Jurina~” the shortest girl in the group bid her farewell to the taller girl- Wait.
“Huh? What are you talking about, Yuko? You’re my Servant. Of course you’re coming along with me!” Jurina dragged Yuko by the arm towards the door.
“NO! I still have some stuff to do to Acchan! And half of that was something I always thought was delusions! I want to make those come true!! Acchan! Lemme touch your oppai!”
“HECK NO!” Atsuko rejected, her face red from embarrassment thanks to the short midget.
Crying, Yuko was pulled away into Sayaka’s arms, which she couldn’t escape from anymore. Sayaka was too powerful for her to bear.
Jurina then faced Mayu again for the last time.
“I’ll be going now.” Jurina bid her farewell to her best friend.
“… Yeah. Make sure to stay safe, okay?” Mayu said, hugging her best friend one last time.
“I will.” Jurina returned her hug, tighter, with a resolution to come back and kiss her best friend, just for fun.
Then the two, Sayaka and Jurina, with an unwilling volunteer, Yuko, went of to London for research as to what for, nobody knows except for Sayaka.
Xxxxxx
2 Months Passed…
“So… don’t you think that those two are taking it way too seriously?”
The taller girl asked her servant who nodded, seeing the fight between the two individuals in front of them. The servant sighed, watching the fight as she thought of things which are so wrong in her life and the taller girl couldn’t help but pout, seeing the boredom of the shorter one.
“Sorry for boring you, Tomochin.”
Tomochin flinched as she felt the sudden dark aura next to her. She could see it, behind the face of the taller girl, the one who was puffing her cheeks ever so cutely, there was a sinister emotion running down the taller girl’s veins. Tomochin gulped and then did her best to fix the situation.
“I- I’m not bored, Yukirin! It’s just that I haven’t slept in days because of a CERTAIN SOMEONE wanting to play around all night because she missed a CERTAIN SQUIRREL!”
Tomochin emphasized a few words so that the girl mentioned could hear the tease coming from her. The girl that was mentioned, a few feet away at the other side, hid her face in her knees as she hugs them. Tomochin could swear that she saw a line of red on the girl’s cheeks but she would rather keep that to herself rather than face another sleepless night. Thank God there was the girl’s Master, or hell, she couldn’t sleep a wink!
“Hmph! That’s what they all say!”
There were a few sweatdrops from Tomochin and she mentally braced herself for what she might face after from her jealous or pissed off Master. She didn’t know which. It depends on the mood.
Now focusing on the fight in front of them, Tomochin noted the short girl’s growth.
Sparks flew with every clash of their blades. The shorter girl was fighting on the same level with the taller one. Though there was a high level of difference in their skills, the shorter girl could keep up with the taller one’s movements.
The only problem was…
“You should let loose some of your muscles, Sae! Your swings are WAY too hard to block!”
The shorter one complained as she blocked another one of the taller’s attacks. She managed to block it flawlessly with her blade, the blade that a certain squirrel lent her. The black blade of Kanshou could only hold out much longer and the young girl knew it. The girl was fighting against one of the legendary figures in Japan. She was fighting with none other than Benkei with her trusted spear.
“Blame yourself for not being skilled enough, Mayuyu.” With a hard thrust of her spear, she pierced through Mayu’s defense and stopped midway. She then swiftly swung the said spear and the spearhead hits the girl’s dagger, throwing the girl’s only weapon off of her. “Besides, you’ve already grown skilled enough.” Said Sae, finally satisfied with the match and puts down her spear, leaving the younger girl to pout.
“You don’t HAVE to strip me off my weapon, you know!” pouted Mayu, but Sae ignored her and then was about to leave.
Mayu grinned as she was faced with Sae’s back and swiftly and silently grabbed her dagger. She then proceeded to dash to the back of Sae who was unaware of the girl behind her. Mayu hit Sae on the back on the center of her back and then in one swift motion, did a slingshot around the girl. Sae couldn’t move and then was met with Mayu’s smug grin. She knew that something was going to happen and the least she expected was-
“Mayuyu uppercut!” Mayu swung her dagger upwards and just barely missed Sae’s skin. But unfortunately… “ALL HAIL SAE’S ABS!” she exclaimed almost foolishly to the girl whose shirt was ripped open by her blades.
Sae was red to her ears by her front body that was bare to everyone’s eyes. Yuki couldn’t blink while watching the scene whilst Tomochin was trying the hardest in her power not to laugh at her past-self Ex-teammate. Atsuko who was on the other side, blushed furiously while staring at Sae’s abs. The one next to her, Rena, was chuckling at the sight. She was incredibly amused by the situation, and also the girl next to. She didn’t know that Atsuko could make that sort of face, which was clearly shown as embarrassment.
“I take that back. You haven’t grown at all, you idiotic mice.”
Sae’s eyes were full of anger and Mayu knew that she has to escape the wrath of the tomboy girl or else, she would regret it notably. Atsuko realized the distress signal sent by her master and then came to her aide.
“S- Sae, let’s forgive her for once, okay? I’m sure she didn’t mean any harm to anyone.” Atsuko tried to negotiate with Sae in the name of her Master’s life.
“No, Atsuko. As much as I respect you, I have a mouse to skin alive.” Sae said in a tone which caused Mayu to shiver to her bones. Now she REALLY needs to escape.
“Besides, why aren’t you looking straight at Sae, Acchan~?” came the tease from the girl’s best mate, Tomochin who had a smug grin on her face.
Atsuko literally glared at the girl with Medusa eyes even though it was really ironic. Said girl, trying her hardest not to tease her best mate anymore, couldn’t help but add oil to the fire. Her gaze met with a certain raven-haired who was not next to her and her smile grew even more sinister. Rena got the message and thus, decided to join in the fun.
“Acchan, don’t tell me your love for abs are showing!” Rena did a surprised reaction-sort of face and the other one that was famous for her surprised reaction showed hers.
Atsuko’s face turned bright red; redder than her previous faces. The girl was literally not used to being the tease, such as to why she likes to tease other people more. Sae got the message and decided to do what everyone else wanted her to do.
“Acchan~” Sae called the girl in a seductive voice and hugged the girl tight.
Sae placed the girl’s head on her chest and Atsuko flushed face became scarlet red. She didn’t even know how hot her face was and of course she didn’t know what was worse; the taller girl’s slightly exposed breasts or her abs. She was almost convinced to pick the latter option, but something in her heart and love for boobs and skin was protesting.
Some teasing howls came from the other occupants of the room and Atsuko finally remembered that she wasn’t alone; ergo, could not enjoy more of the taller girl’s skin, much to her disappointment. Though, a certain squirrel would later learn of this, and Atsuko would regret ever becoming the tease of the others.
Atsuko pushed the taller girl lightly, because some of her strength couldn’t make out her desire, thus not helping her in the least. Sae chuckled and then released the shorter girl from her hug; much to Atsuko’s dismay.
“Aw~ MORE ACTION!” said Mayu who was beside Yuki, eating potato chips.
Atsuko’s eyes turned angered by her Master, and she was in need to further ‘discipline’ said mouse. Mayu felt the glare and she gulped, knowing that she will NOT get away with this. She prayed to the heavens for Atsuko to be merciful, but as we all know, Atsuko knows not of such words as ‘mercy’.
Xxxxxx
In the two months, a lot had changed. Which shall be further explained.
For Mayu, she stopped putting her hair in twintails anymore. She decided to grow up a bit more, though truthfully, that didn’t come true. Not even the slightest. Even though her appearance seemed to be more mature than she was, she did NOT change much. She learned a lot from the Servants around her and of course, Yuki. Yuki always taught her what she wanted; mostly magi-related things. But even though she had learned a lot of things from both Yuki and Jurina when she was still there, she still could not do any other magic other than changing the properties of objects. She could only learn a few magical skills, which were;
Reinforcement, a skill that turns the properties of objects to what Mayu desires, though she could not turn paper to steel, she could harden the texture of said object and could use it when she deem please. It was a really useful spell when she could not find any weapon near her.
Reanimation, the skill that defines logic. She herself did not know how she learned it. When she realized it, she found out a way to turn a hardened structure softer. Say, if one is using a blade. When Mayu touches the blade and thinks of the structure of the blade, she could modify the blade not from the outer appearance, but the structure within. She could easily make the blade breakable as if it was paper. A very dangerous skill, but she of course, doesn’t use it much. One, because she is not skilled enough to just go up and touch a person’s weapon. But now… who knows.
Recreation, a skill she learned from Yuko. She could hold an object; preferably wood, and change it to match an existing object in her presence. She could take a stick and then one look at a weapon of her choice which is near, she could copy it and change the stick to match the weapon. The copy would be an exact outer replica of the one copied, but the inner properties would not change. It could break easily and she could not copy a weapon which elements are made of high classes, such as Excalibur.
Aside from these skills, she learned nothing much. And she still didn’t know how she could do magic like Yuko, who is a servant. She didn’t know but she would rather not find out.
As for Yuki, she started to become closer to her servant than ever, though a few of her and Tomochin’s friends weren’t too fond of it. They felt that it was something that was not right. Yuki didn’t care, though. Tomochin had helped her more than she could count. She owes her a lot. As for her relationship with Sae, she was able to make ou- I mean, make up with her. They started to become friends again and forget the past. What intrigues the others was that Yuki had become a lot closer to Mayu than the others (excluding Tomochin who is her beloved Servant), and Atsuko is not very fond of it with her pretense that she wasn’t liking the fact that her Master is growing close to the enemy. Neither was Sae, though she would not admit it one bit. Her and Rena’s relationship wasn’t going too well. She still did not trust Rena because of the girl’s attacks on the group. The others came to accept her, but Yuki still would not want to be alone in a room with Rena.
Speaking of Rena, she was no longer a servant. The night where the mysterious beings attacked the group two months prior, Haruna used her last order on her, thus ended the entire Master-Servant relationship with the two. When the group asked her what the last order was, Rena couldn’t remember. As if part of her memory was erased. They thought that Haruna wanted her to forget about something, but Rena doubts it. She could be able to fight memory wipe because of her Vampire’s blood. What is more surprising is that Rena did not disappear even though her Master used the last command. In the rules of the Grail, once a Master uses all three Command Seals, the Servant will disappear, leaving the Master. But that wasn’t so in Rena’s case. She was still in the world, though probably not in the Game anymore. The others were hesitant to take her in, and she knew why. She actually thought to just leave everyone and do something at the meantime, but surprisingly, Mayu didn’t take her in. No, it was not Mayu. It was Atsuko who embraced her and asked her to join in the group. Rena was surprised by the sudden invitation and wanted to decline, but she knows well of how the saying goes. When Maeda Atsuko wants something, etc. She then reluctantly decided to stay with the others, though there were still some who could not accept her yet; mainly Yuki who kept avoiding her at all cost. She was very much hurt by it, but she knows the fear in Yuki. She knew she should just leave her alone. Every night, Atsuko would drag her to sleep with her and Mayu, which Rena wasn’t very fond of. Being a third wheel was something she wanted the least. Perhaps that was the reason she could gain Mayu’s trust.
In Sae’s case however, she waited for her Master’s arrival and during the wait, she decided that she would train Mayu because Tomochin was too fast for Mayu to follow and Atsuko lacks mercy; that, and self-control. So Sae, with her resolve to train the young girl to at least take powerful impacts and read the enemy’s flow of movement, did just that. In just a few weeks, the young girl managed to be on par with the older girl’s movement and could catch most of her attacks. Sae was really proud of the improvements. She actually thought Mayu couldn’t handle her but Mayu proved her wrong. These days, Sae had to use at least 40% of her real power to battle Mayu. Mayu could barely catch up, but day by day, she kept growing stronger and stronger with her sword skill and footwork. Sae’s relationship with Yuki was running smoothly. She would always play with Yuki whenever Atsuko was taking too much of Tomochin’s time. Yuki wasn’t too fond of spending time with Atsuko though. No, she likes the older girl a lot but for some reason, she could not imagine if she and the older girl were in the same room. She had a hunch that something was going to happen and she would not like it one bit. Well, she would like it, but her pride and ego wou- AH you get what I mean. It was probably because Atsuko said that she and the other-world Yuki were really close and hung out with each other a lot, and Yuko butted in saying that Atsuko was the man of the relationship. Of course nobody believed them, but as much as Yuki would like to deny Atsuko’s manliness, she could not shake the feeling that the older girl would really do well in bed, much to her demise and facepalming reactions.
Tomochin wasn’t doing fairly well with the whole AtsuYuki love-hate going around the area though. Every night, Atsuko would abuse her authority as her best friend and keep Tomochin to herself. Yuki of course did not like it. She was her servant for God’s sake. She even wanted to use the Command Seal to steal Tomochin back, but thanks to a few hours of the other girls persuading her to not use it because it was indeed, a stupid move, she didn’t. She had to play with Atsuko a lot because of the girl’s loneliness. Well, she can’t blame her. Her sole source of entertainment; excluding Mayu, wasn’t there. And who else could be used to soothe that lonely heart of hers? Of course it her best friend! Tomochin could swear that she sometimes feel that someone was glaring at her whenever Atsuko would cling to her arm and act all smudgy with her. Of course the one glaring was none other than her raven-haired princess. She didn’t know what to do anymore other than to just handle the situation slowly. Of course she couldn’t turn down her best friend who is having a hard time, but she shouldn’t make her Master feel jealous as well, though said raven-haired was keeping the shoulder length-haired’s ‘little sister’ all to herself. Tomochin didn’t know what to do, and she still doesn’t know.
Atsuko, though, did not change much other than her loneliness for a certain squirrel. She missed the girl slightly… moderately… Okay, greatly. She won’t admit it though. She started to cling more to the other girls, not only Tomochin. The other one she clings to was Rena. Rena of course didn’t mind the older girl’s skinship. She liked Atsuko a lot. And Atsuko loves her. She always thought of Rena like a little sister of hers, which caused Mayu to feel unwanted. They managed to clear it up to Mayu, but thanks to Atsuko clinging to the poor raven-haired almost every time they were together in a room, things escalated to the point which Mayu would have to separate them from each other in bed, sleeping in between the two. Atsuko tried her best to hug and cuddle Rena in bed, but of course Mayu wouldn’t let her. Only she could cuddle Atsuko and only Atsuko could cuddle her! Well, there are a few exceptions though, but that is for another story.
Xxxxxx
“Still nothing, Mam- Yukirin?” Mayu asked the raven-haired girl, not forgetting that the others were also there with them. She hoped that they weren’t listening, but the snickers around her proved her entirely wrong.
“Yeah. I’ve got nothing.” Yuki opened her eyes again and removed her hands from the magic circle.
“Damn it. I still can’t believe that Berserker didn’t make her move even after two months!” Sae pouted and then sat on the floor with her spear.
Atsuko then joined her and lied down on the concrete. Tomochin, glad that Atsuko found something else to do, quickly went to her Master’s aide and gave her a water bottle. She didn’t know why she did that but… well… Servant. Rena went to Atsuko’s side and plopped next to her. Atsuko realized the presence next to her and hugged Rena’s knee. Rena just sighed and patted the older girl’s head.
Mayu saw the scene and glared at Atsuko, which the taller girl realized and quickly behaved herself, hands on her back and faced straight to the sky. Mayu nodded and then thought.
“What if they were waiting for us to make a move?” Yuki asked Mayu who was deep in thought.
“No, if that was so, then ‘Erena’ would send ‘Mariko’ here and cause a stir. That way, we would have no choice but to make the move. She knew that we won’t make the move unless something surreal happens, which is why I was thinking that Mariko would make her move, thanks to the stories you guys told me about her.” Mayu looked at the Servants.
“The Mariko I know would be impatient and start to attack us the moment she realized that we’re all together. She knows she’s strong enough to take on us all.” Atsuko stated.
“You’d know that. You’re the one closest to her here.” Tomochin added the info about Atsuko.
“Unless…” Rena puts her fingers to her chin in a thinking gesture.
“Yeah…” Atsuko agreed to Rena’s worry.
“Eh?! What?! You guys are confusing me!” Sae pouted and was then glared by the other Servants. “Am I the only one here that didn’t get it?” Sae looked at Mayu and Yuki, but was not responded.
“Mariko’s planning something big.” Atsuko directed her attention to Mayu and informed her their worry, though Sae was still trying to figure out whatever the hell they thought up.
“Any ideas on what that is?” Mayu asked them, but all of them shook their heads.
“Or she could troll us.” Sae butted in again.
“That could be true as well, but I think that her nature would want her to attack us, rather than to wait for something that she may or may not get.” Atsuko, who knew Mariko the most, said to Sae, nullifying the girl’s suggestion.
“So we’d have to prepare ourselves for the worst.” Mayu thought and closed her eyes. But then she winced at a certain feeling. “Time to get out of here?” she asked the others, still closing her eyes.
The others nodded at Mayu’s worry. They could feel stares from certain corners of their eyes. They were on top of the tallest building in the middle of the night, since Rena couldn’t come out during the day, and they found out that they were not the only ones ‘sightseeing’.
“Another cursed day, huh…” Sae got up and held her spear tightly, though in truth, she wasn’t really too interested in fighting at the moment. She was bored, to be exact.
“At least there are less of them today.” Rena tried to brighten the other girls up but as she counted, the number became more than 10. Yes, there were less, but she couldn’t help but sigh at the numbers.
“And I was hoping that today I could sleep early.” Tomochin summoned up her chains and swung it lightly around her.
“I’m hungry…” came the response from Atsuko which made the other girls chuckle.
“Well, let’s finish up early today. I don’t want Tomochin to have another sleepless night.” Yuki said as she grabbed a small knife from her bag that was hung on her belt.
“I guess we’d have to work out again tonight. Try not to take too much time.” Mayu looked at the others and the nodded in response.
Just when the others nodded, black figures came and pounced to them. One was heading towards Mayu but Mayu easily evades the figure. She took out her dagger, Kanshou and in one swift slash, the figure was damaged badly. Mayu took the chance and then kicked the figure. With an intent to finish it, she then stabbed the figure’s body deeply. Another figure came to her and she avoided it’s attacks splendidly. She used the hilt of her blade and hit them before proceeding to slash it with an uppercut. The figures then disappeared.
Another figure came to Mayu but Atsuko came to her aide. She quickly draws her invisible sword and quickly slashed the figure in one strike. The figure then stepped back, now badly wounded. Atsuko didn’t let the prey escape and dashed towards it. She stabbed the figure this time and the figure disappeared in thin air.
Yuki and Tomochin were back to back. The taller girl threw daggers to the black figures and the shorter girl uses the chains to move her dagger at her will. Yuki also inserted a few explosives in some of them and an unlucky black figure was hit with said explosive dagger and exploded, startling the others. The shorter girl glared at the taller one but Yuki only hummed and continued to attack the figures.
Sae, startled by the explosion, almost got hit by the enemy but nevertheless, she blocked it’s attack and rapidly swings her spear in front of her. The black figure was hit pretty badly and Sae kept going until the figures disappeared.
Rena only dodged their attacks and didn’t even plan on attacking, She didn’t even want to attack them. A figure tried to hit her but she evaded it and the hit was taken by another figure. Feeling somewhat bored, Rena kicked one of the figures and then threw it over the building. The other figure, surprised by her action, was about to flee, but Rena grabbed it and threw it at Sae who was swinging he spear, making the figure disappear because it hit the girl’s rapid swing.
In only a few seconds, no figures were sighted.
“That’s the last of them, I hope.” Atsuko tried to be positive.
“Let’s not find out.” Mayu looked at the others and they quickly left the building.
