Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zilva tugged her blade free. A hand around her neck would not cut off all of her air though she had to stay calm. "Tch...I told you" She held up her hand putting it against the Servant's chest. "Don't get cocky" She sent out a strong pulse of concentrated force that could collapse the rib cage. and the chest organs.

"Regeneration?" Zilva stood dusting herself off. Her held up her sword again wating for him to attack. "So then servant is that all you've got?" She had her Noble Phantasm ability still ready to be used if need be.

He was back to where he started in a matter of minutes; the Command Mantras upon his hand glowing faintly as he frowned and looked up towards the rooftop. “I hope she listened…” It wouldn’t take him long to get there, but if she had been provoked into battle, it would prove difficult for Shirou to deal with. He could not imagine a battle between a Servant and Human lasting this long… though to be honest, he shouldn’t have considered it that much of a surprise should he? Was he not human himself? He had had plenty of his shares of fights against Servants; of course, not all of them had gone in the red-head’s favor, but in the end, he and Saber always prevailed. He began climbing the ladder his mind in thought as his hand burned slightly. “Don’t be foolish, wait for me.” He reached the top of this ladder and found himself looking across to find the battle progressing. A frown surfaced on his face as his fists clenched tightly. What was going on? Why would a girl be fighting a Servant? His voice lowered as it seemed, Shirou spoke to no one in particular. “Why are they fighting?”

His Servant had appeared beside him, watching the fight as well. “The human was provoked… Shirou, I don’t believe she’ll be able to win against this type of Servant.”

He glanced towards the female beside him before shaking his head. “Humans are a lot stronger than you guys give us credit for. You’d be surprised how much we can take, when we have… the right motivation and perseverance to do so.” A smile appeared on his face as his eyes fell upon the girl. He really was surprised by her… even though his mind was telling himself he should stay put however, he was getting that nagging feeling that he shouldn’t be letting a girl fight. Funny how he seemed to be slowly reverting back towards his old self.

“What shall we do, Master?”

“Soon… I’m not sure how much longer I can watch this…” His fists clenching tightly as the Reiju upon his hand began to glow. This Servant was taking things too far; casualties would soon begin to gather.

His own attack coming at him surprised him a little but it didn't bother him. it was only weak anyway and the amount of damage he had taken was very little. He could see the other human from the distance just turning his head a little and grinned. "Your beginning to bore me. I'll just get rid of you now and fight them." he told her and slashed again, this time cutting the building right in half before her feet before jumping to the other end where it wouldn't fall right away. He made his way towards the new group of fighters, hopping to have a little more fun with them then the girl.

{Whee its my turn to post here.~ xP}

As much as she loved to be dragged about the city by the black-haired magi, some time alone would be nice. Lucky for her it was granted, but not in the way she'd wished. Both had easily picked up on the battle, and with a small nod the knight quickly left her master to head for the direction. Combat within the day light was forbidden for servants to do, and it seemed one was doing such right now. Thus the knight would perform her duties correctly and stop it before it grew to a grander scale. Humans were not to know they existed after all.

Yet when the roof was found her progression soon stood. Saber wasn't a top the same roof as the battle though but on the building right across, standing a top the water tower. A familiar presence was down there, she didn't believe it to be true, but there was boy among the group with red hair. Her eyes narrowed a bit in her thoughts on this, was it Shirou or just someone with the same color of hair? She couldn't be certain, but more importantly, she needed to call forth her armor, but that could wait till she was attacked.

Syth was pushed back a little from the bursts of power and quickly healed again before seeing the true one he had been looking for. Oh how he felt seeing her the first time, how he gripped his sword to get ready and attack. "At last we meet Saber." he shouted to her. "And our last." Just before he dashed towards the Saber a car quickly drove up on the other end of the road, stretching the tires to stop as some one in the back got out. "Syth, Stop this at once!" The man shouted and before Syth had the chance to do anything he stopped, jumping down to the side of the road before letting his blade fade away. "As you wish my master." Syth answered and bowed a little.

{ You've finally appeared. xP }

She… she was here. He hadn’t been wrong when he had sensed her earlier. Did this mean someone had summoned her? Her back to him, he turned his eyes upon the male Servant, who seemed to indeed have a master. That was rather surprising, Shirou thought, all things considered. A sigh escaped him, however as he smiled faintly with relief that things were over… for the most part anyways. The twin falchions vanished from his hands as he attempted with great difficult to keep his gaze from the blonde knight before him. He had thought he was prepared for this when he first sensed her presence… her being here before him though… it was more difficult than Shirou could have imagined possible. He wanted to reach out towards her; touch her and make sure he was real, but he couldn’t bring himself to even move his fingers, let alone move towards her. So many thoughts racing through his head, but one standing out more than any other… Who had summoned Saber? “S-Saber…” He could hardly whisper his name… this was so pathetic of him as he closed his eyes and stood there like a statue.

Meanwhile, Shirou’s Servant stood just as motionless as he; watching the blonde Servant protect him… Was that not her job as his Servant now? Anger rising within her as she turned her glare towards Shirou. He couldn’t even stare at her back… was their connection that strong? They were not even connected that way anymore and their bond was stronger than the one between Shirou and herself. “Shirou…” She couldn’t think of what to say as she stepped away from the two. Her desire to understand was great… her desire to remove the blonde Servant, greater.

{ Bye Ren ~ }

This wasn’t right… he had decided to take part in the Holy Grail War… but not against Saber. Not as her enemy. What was he supposed to do when the time came for them to fight? He already had his answer as his gaze finally turned upon her. Looking her over from head to toe; it simply made things more difficult. He would not avert his gaze however as she spoke to him. It had been so long since he had heard her; the last thing she had ever said to him… no. He wouldn’t think of that. He wouldn’t think of the way her voice sounded different as she spoke his name. He was unsure how he could react to that. “I am… simply glad to see you again, Saber.” He knew it would not mean much; under these circumstances, he should not have said it, but he could not help himself. He could not help that his feelings for her were no different than when she returned to her own time.

When she turned to look at him, he almost smiled. Seeing her… how badly he wished he could hold her. Simply touch her would be enough for him. Yet his eyes drifted to the side as he looked towards his new Servant. Why were things this way? When it came down to thinking about it, this was Shirou’s own fault. His fault he could not touch Saber again. Only look at her and soon have to fight her. He frowned as this realization hit him; it was almost as though he couldn’t breathe. Her next word to him made things even worse as his eyes widened at her farewell. She had already vanished as Shirou finally found himself able to reach towards her. “Why… did this happen!” His voice echoed out towards her; he knew she would hear his words, but they would make little difference. They had happened.

He found himself standing at the edge of the rooftop; his head hung low as his hair before his eyes. He had not decided to take part simply to fight against the one he loved. What would he do when her Master ordered Saber to fight and kill him…? His fists clenched tightly as he turned away from the direction she left. He couldn’t be here anymore. His eyes found those of his Servant’s as he gazed at her. She had simply watched… and he had betrayed her already by reaching out for the enemy. “I’m sorry… Assassin.” He could say nothing more, nor did he look towards her again as he walked past her.

“I will not lose to her, Shirou. I want the Holy Grail more than she and I will do whatever it takes.”

Her words had caused Shirou to stop, his fists clenching as he listened silently. “Don’t be selfish…” He abandoned the rooftop, leaving Assassin alone to ponder his words. Meanwhile, Shirou… he would search. They were still connected or he was still connected to her. He couldn’t leave things as she had.
