She sits in the bar on full moon night, a tall woman with long purple hair, clad in a black sleeveless shirt and jeans, violet eyes hidden behind a pair of frameless glasses, drinking sake. As she indulged in a favourite pass time of hers, her mind wandered to that night three years ago. The blinding light cleaving through the night and hitting her. The blonde girl with the sword. She remembered it all clearly. Normally, she shouldn't have, she should've forgotten. But she remembered, because she never left this world that night.
"Um.. Miss..? Is something wrong?" The bartender expresses his concern as he sees the look on the woman's face.
"No. I'm fine." She answers clearly and concisely, without any hesitation.
"That's good then. Some more I take it, Miss Rider?"
"Yes, thank you. But this'll be my last one for tonight. I should get home soon."
The bartender nods, understanding as the woman named Rider has been a regular at the bar for the past 3 years. On most occasions, she'd drink like a fish without backing down. However, she had a person she watched over closely, and her concern for that person far outweighed her desire to drink.

The black car had been driving around for a while now with Kir sitting in the back of it all night. He had been searching for other masters all day and still most of them were in there hiding spots, hidden away like a frightened cat. "Stop here." he told the driver and quickly they parked to the side where the so called new safe zone was at. 'Serpents Bar' he thought and grinned before getting out. "Drive around until I call you." he told the driver and closed the door behind him,walking right into the bar that was barely filled. He walked over to the bar and took a seat before ordering a glass of his finest wine before noticing her.

She had noticed him as he entered the bar, her eyes looking at him from the side. She thought to herself, recognising him as not being just any ordinary person who just so happened to own a fancy car.
"On second thought, perhaps I should have another two before I go." She says to the bartender, her perception rather sharp.
"Yes ma'am." The bartender goes to get her another drink before attending to the man. "What'll it be, sir?"
All this time, Rider had not averted her wary gaze. She seemed relaxed yet on guard at the same time. From her seemed to come the faint smell of blood, however, she didn't feel like a murderer either. But if looks could kill, she'd have sent every man in this bar to their graves with her elegant womanly figure and almost Goddess-like body.

"Glass of wine."he told the bartender and grinned. He noticed her looking at him and turned his eyes towards her a little before smiling. "Are my looks that good or is there something about me you don't trust?" he asked her while he pulled his wallet out, pulling out a hundred dollar bill. "Pay for this young ladies drink as well." He added to the bar tender. He knew who she was, he just didn't understand why she would be in a dump like this but servants and masters did have there own tastes in different things, like his servant Syth loved to rip some of the masters heads off from a few days back and loved the taste of cigars.

"Yes, sir. Right away." He goes to get the wine after accepting the money.
She looks back infront of her, though her guard doesn't even slightly drop.
"Don't flatter yourself." She says without a second though, taking another sip of her sake. "So.." She starts once more. "Which one is yours?"
She asks clearly and in plain sight, without even pause for where they are. However, this wasn't enough to disturb even the almost empty bar, as her meaning could've easily been something else than referring to his Servant.
"Not like I'm interested though. I already know you're not hers."
She takes another sip of her sake, her guard still not dropping yet now seeming uninterested in him. Obviously whoever 'her' was, they had history.

"You mean Saber correct?" he answered her and laughed a little. "No I have someone far more powerful then her." He had all of the information on who was in the war, who died, you lived and even a little extra for a plan to kill them all but Rider on the other hand was different, her master was still unknown to him even with the amount of information he had on her. "What I would like to know is who your 'friend' is if you don't mine me asking."

"You obviously think I'm a fool. I would never give out something like that so freely." She replies coldly, obviously not naive enough to give information about her Master.
Her eyes focus on him, giving him a cold and deadly stare.
"If Saber isn't yours, then I'm not interested right now. Not unless you plan to get in my way."
She takes another sip of her sake. But something was clear. If this man made so much as a wrong move, she would kill him within an instant. After all, no matter how strong a Master may be, they're still nothing compared to their Servants. And this woman gave off the vibe of being especially dangerous.
"But I'm curious. Who is the one who has her? Do you know?"
This woman was a clear professional in this war. Servant Rider, the Black Servant in the 5th Holy Grail War. She was known to serve Motou Shinji, and was regarded as one of the stronger Servants in the war, despite being eliminated quite early when she clashed with Saber.
"Well, do you?" The Black Servant asks one more time. "I assume she's not serving 'him' again."

"Let's just say the Women is with a old friend of 'him'." The voice appeared on the other side of Rider, smoking a cigar and a grin smeared across his face as he looked at her. "Your Rider? What a shame I was hoping for something a bit more tougher then this." Syth told her and chuckled a little. Syth had frightened some of the people inside the bar and made all of them slowly move to the door until they were alone. "Saber will be a easy task for me, then only thing I have to do unlike your self is grab her skinny little neck and rip it off of her shoulders like i've done to many other servants." Syth added.

She doesn't even flinch as the Servant appears behind her. Besides her being able to sense other Servants, save those who have the ability to hide their presence, it'd actually take an unforgivably DUMB Master to travel without their Servant. Especially during wartime.
The Black Servant merely takes another sip of her sake. "Be careful. Those who are arrogant are quite often the first to be eliminated." She provides some words of caution.
"But I must say, I'd have to feel sorry for your Master, having such a pathetic Servant." Her retort is subtle and nonchalant
"Power alone doesn't fight a war. If you're an idiot, you won't last long. And I guarantee that you you'll be completely pathetic dying that way."
"Than again.." A smirk crosses her face. "Since Masters and Servants tend to reflect each other, it's possible yours is just as much of an imbecile."

"Such harsh words from a servant that was nearly killed in th beginning of the last war." Kir told her and took a sip of his wine. ""but i must agree, power alone wont help me destroy those who stand in my way, knowledge is also the key to this war and even a partner." Syth didn't say anything as Kir gave her the offer of joining his side. "You help me wipe out those in my way and I will help you find and kill the one you seek and protection for your master if you want as well."

Sakura walked to the Serpent's Bar quite concerned on how late the time was and Rider wasn't home yet. She was grateful that it wasn't a school day so she was able to convince her mother to fetch Rider.
Looking at the brightly lit neon signs she found the specific bar she was looking for and noticed an onmious looking black car parked in front of the bar itself.
Wary that this could be a master, she dashed to the nearest dark alley and started to cloak her magic the best she could, made her way inside, to the dark parts of the bar via the backdoor.
As she got inside, she had herself seated at the dark parts, away from the sight of others even to her Servant. Yet she was able to see and hear everything from her hiding place.
Listening to their conversation, her train of thoughts were serious and were weighing on the pros and cons.
She knew this wasn't a good time or place to initiate a fight.

Backing out of the alleyway, she bolted into a run hoping that Rider would sense her thoughts and follow her. Her magic still clocked, she ignored the various citizens looking at her as she headed the opposite direction as them. Some called out to her that she should get home and stuff but she gave them all a deaf ear. Her hair madly fluttering in the wind the girl huffed heavily as she quickly made her way to Fuyuki Park.
