Fate/Stay Night: Moon's Cry

Chapter 8 - The Day Before the Night pt. 2

"Shirou is mine."

Sakura looks Rin and Shirou furiously.

-----

Earlier at Tohsaka Mansion...

(Dreaming)

Somewhere at the Desert...

"Where am I?"

Not farther from where she's standing, A boy in cloak is walking in a desert barren.

The boy looks tired, he is getting and weaker every steps he take.

Rin felt sad for the boy... All of a sudden, she heard a familiar voice,

"I have no regrets. It's the only way, I could to save their lives."

Suddenly, she saw images that linked to a suffering of a certain person before he entered the throne of heroes.

Before the dream ends, Rin got her hand caught by a man covering his face with a cloth. Rin pictured herself as a young lad accompanying the man.

"Tohsaka. take this pendant with you. This is an important thing you should keep. Don't let it fall into someone's hands."

---

At Tohsaka Mansion...

Tohsaka opened her eyes and found herself already lying on a bed.

"I am already at my house? Is everything only a dream? And the man on my dream, does he have a connection on Archer's past?"

Rin get a hold of the jewel pendant and look at her reflection of her.

"It's already past six, I have to get dressed."

Rin wore off her pendant and put it on the desk. After that, she goes inside the bathroom to take a shower.

Minutes later, Rin goes out of the bathroom nȧkėd as she forgot to bring a towel with her. She walk towards her closet and take the towel.

Unknown to her, Archer went inside her room while she's taking the towel in the closet.

Archer holds a tray with a cup of tea on it.

As Rin turns around, she was flustered after seeing Archer standing at the door, looking at her.

Archer dropped the tea and walk out of the room, closing the door.

"I'm sorry, master. I entered without your permission."

(Rin) Oh no! He saw all of it. What I'm gonna do? It's humiliating.

"It's okay, Archer. You're free to enter, just... you knock."

She wears her red-colored dress on and take the pendant and wears it.

Rin arrived at the dining room and sits on a chair before the table. She patiently waits for Archer to serve her food, but Archer didn't respond.

(Rin) Does what had happened earlier occurred on his mind? Is he ashamed to show his face to me? I gotta go to the kitchen myself and cook my food.

Rin stood up and is about to go to the kitchen when Archer bumps on her carrying her food.

"I'm sorry to be late preparing your food, Master.

You could sit now. I'll serve the food for you."

Rin look at him furiously.

"Don't you dare to fantasize what you have seen earlier, Archer."

—"Little Miss, Even I get a hold of your nȧkėd body, I won't dare. Have you thought of how old I am, and how I became a hero on my own account?"

Rin returns to her chair and sat down. Archer put the soup on the table and Rin eats the soup.

After eating her breakfast, Rin asked Archer.

"Does something happened, yesterday night?"

—"After seeing off your friend, Emiya, we came home."

"So, everything is just a dream. I'm relieved."

(Archer) It's better you know nothing, Rin.

Back to Present...

Fellow students looking at Shirou and Rin hugging him.

Rin is the most popular idol in school. She's every men's dream. Even with her carefree nature, and boyish style, men are fantasizing her.

After realizing that she hugging Shirou tightly, she pushed him.

"What's gotten into you, Tohsaka?"

Shirou asked her.

"Thanks for accompanying me yesterday... I'll go then"

After Rin left him, Shirou felt a chill that the crowd looks at him jealously.

"I think, I should go to my classroom now."

"Emiya, we have to talk."

Issei lead Shirou towards the A/V room. As Shirou entered, Issei closed the door.

(Shirou)

There's something weird about Issei.

Why is he looking at me like he's gonna crush me.

He took a step towards the table and pull out a cpu tower under it and put it on the table.

"Could you repair this?"

I'm relieved... I thought he is like other guys that eyes on Tohsaka.

"What's the matter with this?"

—"It got blue screen error. It hangs before the startup."

"I think you better call an IT expert for this. The problem I think is on a system."

Issei is standing behind me while I'm examining the computer.

"Couldn't you fix it?"

—"I'll try. You could give me space for this."

"Yeah... Right."

Issei understand what I mean when I said that. I can't focus when someone bothers me of my work. So, I let him stay outside.

The truth is, I have to hide my ability to everyone.

I put my hand on the computer and close my eyes.

"Trace on"

This way I could trace what is missing parts of the computer and then replace it with a original replica in an instant. The ability is called 'Projection magic'.

"I finished it."

Issei entered and take the computer and attached it on a desktop and turning it on. The equipment is fixed.

"Thanks Emiya. I think I have to hire an IT expert for this but, you fixed it on time."

—"Issei, I'm late in my class. It's time for me to go."

Shirou leaves...

(Issei) It's just a frame. No wonder, he really is a magus. And he is also a competitor of the Grail War.

Outside the room, Sakura is standing before me.

"Emiya-senpai, You should back out of competition. It's dangerous."

—"What do you mean, Sakura?"

"Uhh... Nothing senpai. Take care."

Sakura ran away from me.

"Wait Sakura!"

Sakura stopped a moment.

"Why did you have to do this?!"

I don't understand what is she talking about. When I step forward to her, she just ran off.

What's going on? And why I still feel a chilling presence everywhere?.... Competition? What is she talking about?

---After Class---

(Bell Rang)

(Announcement) Announcement! All students are advised to go home early due to the recent abduction of missing persons during the night.

(Shirou)"What is going on?"

(Ayako)"Maybe it's because of the rumors about the monster attacking the City during nighttime. People are afraid now to stroll when the sun sets."

(Shirou)"Is it connected to a serial killings that happened before?"

(Footsteps approaching)

"Emiya. Could we have a talk?"

It's Kuzuki-sensei.

(Ayako) I'll leave you then, Emiya.

(Shirou) Farewell then, Ayako.

The sun is about to set, I wonder why Kuzuki-sensei called for me. He leads me inside the stadium.

(Kuzuki)"I know you are aware why I brought you here. You could stop the act."

—"I don't know what you're saying, Sensei."

In an instant, Sensei grabbed my shirt and tossed me away.

Just then, Someone caught my back and dropped me down. The body is covered with full plated armour. But not her face that is full of radiance. She stood before me, standing against Sensei.

(Kuzuki)"So, you are his Servant."

(Shirou)"Who are you?"

At her waist, there's a sword covered in red mantle.

(Kuzuki)"I guess you are his Servant Saber. Am I right?"

(Saber)"Are you alright, Master?"

Suddenly, appears a person wearing a coat standing before Sensei.

(Shirou) A magus.

After witnessing what happened, Shirou ran away being scared, leaving his Servant behind while defending the attacks of the enemy servant.

The sun has long set. The Moon lights brighter. Blood drops on the ground.

"I have told you little brother. You should summon your Servant."

Shirou's body fell on the ground.
