Chapter 6: Life

The sunlight crept over her body inch by inch, warming her as she lay sprawled out on the couch. Last night had been rather exhausting, not physically of course, but mentally. What was worse, Mika still hadn't come home yet by the time she had fallen asleep which meant she likely spent the night at the hospital with Gabriella.

'Gabriella…' she pondered. That girl was a mystery in and of itself. Why where those two hooded men chasing after her to the point of a physical altercation? Was what they wanted from her the same thing that they wanted from the other people Rin and her helped escape? Whatever it is, she only hoped that any further contact with those men was made well away from her parent's home, especially with the little Hanna around.

As she laid there in thought the sun's rays had completely enveloped her face in its light. After a few more minutes, she decided it was time for her to at least wake up and do her morning stretches. She opened her eyes slowly, squinting heavily at the bright morning light beaming through the window nearest the couch until she sat up and away from the light. Yawning and stretching her arm over her head her eye's fell upon the silver haired tan skinned beauty sleeping on the floor at the foot of the couch. Yet what really got Hanna's attention was the ample cleavage spilling from Mika's loose fitting undershirt.

She immediately felt her face heat up as she turned away quickly, she didn't want be caught staring and have to explain to someone the bright color of her face. Yet, there she sat after she turned away fighting the urge to catch another glimpse. After all, she was only human…or as close to human as her current situation called for. Tempting fate, she turned her head slightly and looked out of the corner of her eye at the heavenly sight just off to her side.

Once again she felt her face heating up, the was tracing Mikas figure with her eyes, until they once again stopped where her clevage spilled out. She could tell from where she was sitting that the skin was soft, and not a blemish that she could see. What made the situation for her worse, was she could tell the cool temperature of the room was having an effect on Mika. There was two obvious points to the shirt that seemed to be calling out to her. She had to look away, but right now, for brief moment, she couldn't take her eye's off of what she could only refer to as an angel.

After another moment, she literally forced herself off of the couch. A certain wetness had formed between her legs that she feared would only get worse if she sat there any longer. She had to get her mind off of Mika, and the only way she could do that at that moment. 'Masturb…NO!' she internally screamed at herself as she suppressed the thought before it could finish itself. What she needed right now was strenuous physical activity.

After she managed to change into the workout clothes Rin had bought her before the incident at the mall, she made her way out to the dojo. Even though the sun was out, the morning air was quite chilly so she walked rather quickly. Opening the door to the dojo she noticed the lights were already on and Saber was kneeling in the middle of the room. She seemed to be meditating, her eyes were closed, yet laying across her lap was a wooden practice sword. The sword looked heavily used, yet still seemed like it had a lot of life left in it.

Behind Saber, sitting against the wall on the floor was Rin. She had her left knee bent was resting her left arm atop it. She was staring past Saber right at Hanna. Hanna noticed the soft, almost beaten expression upon Rin's face the moment she realized she was there. A little voice in the back of her head prayed Rin had calmed down, while the rest of her conscience begged her to ignore Rin. Either way, she was here to practice, not spend her time worrying about Rin's personality.

She took one step towards Saber, and stopped immediately when she saw the other blonde grasp the sword and open her eyes.

"I hope I didn't startle you." Hanna said with a slight grin.

Saber returned the grin with a bright smile, "Good morning, Hanna. I hope you slept well last night."

Hanna shrugged, sleeping on a couch wasn't ideal….but it was better than sleeping on a floor. Yet, she really didn't need sleep, she was a Heroic Spirit after all. "Eh, can't complain." Then she remembers that Shirou had left when they got the news that Mika had gone to the hospital with Gabriella. "I see that Mika is back…" she started, trying not to think back to the sight she had seen before she came out side, "…did father come back last night too?"

Saber nods, "Yes, though to my understanding Mika returned some time later. I really need to ask Shirou to clean out the spare bedroom for you two." Saber says calmly.

"You don't have too, I don't mind sleeping on the couch." Hanna said earnestly. She really didn't mind, back to the whole she really didn't have to sleep thing and all.

"I bet Shirou would think otherwise, Hanna." Rin said calmly from where she sat. "If he finds out that Mika slept on the floor last night he would dive head first into that spare bedroom just to get it cleaned out."

Saber sighs, "Rin's right you know."

Hanna stays quite for a moment, but finally agreed, she knew Saber and Shirou wouldn't let the subject rest so she went along with it. "Okay, I can help out if you would like."

Saber nods, "Thank you Hanna." She says with a smile, then turns to Rin. "Rin, could you help me prepare breakfast? I think Hanna would like some time alone to practice."

"Sure…" Rin distantly says as she starts to stand up. As Rin walks by Hanna notices her looking at her, but when Hanna looks up to meet Rins gaze Rin immediately turns away.

"I'll come get you once it's ready." Saber says before she walks out the door.

Rin goes to follow her, but stops short, shutting the door slightly and peering back at Hanna.

"I'm… sorry Hanna. For what I've done and said recently…" she said almost whispering before leaving Hanna to her own devices.

Outside the dojo, Saber is waiting for Rin with a slight smile on her face. She had heard Rin apologize, and knew the talk she had with the brunette before Hanna walked in must have did some good. "Thank you Rin. I'm sure Hanna will see that you meant it in the coming days."

Rin sighs, "I hope so…" she said then looked deep into Saber's eyes, "Saber, please don't tell Shirou what I told you…I don't want to cause him anymore trouble."

"Rin, I'm not going to say a word to Shirou, but I believe that he deserves to know…" Saber said calmly, "I leave that decision up to you, but I do appreciate that you came clean to me at least ."

"I just couldn't keep it in any longer. I was so worried that you and Shirou would never speak to me again if you had ever found out."

This time Saber sighs, "Rin don't get me wrong, I am rather upset about it, but I'm more upset that you didn't tell us just what you were going through more than the fact that you in all sense of the word cheated on Shirou. I'm mad that you let that affect your attitude towards Hanna, but I would never stop speaking to you let alone stop caring about you. I know Shirou doesn't show it but he still cares about you too Rin, after all, you were his first."

"Geez do you have to put it like that?" Rin asks with a blank expression.

Saber shrugs, "Technically speaking, you were my first fema..."

Rin rushes past Saber at that moment frantically waving her arms at her sides. "So yea lets start breakfast shall we?" she spat out, blushing heavily as she remembered just what Saber was speaking of.

Saber can't help but giggle, as she follows off after Rin.

"So yea, nothing like being woken up by a toy sword to the face…" Mika says as she glares daggers at Shirou.

Shirou had woken up before Mika did and went to retrieve little Hanna from her crib. Upon entering the living room he sat Hanna down so that he could check on a few things in the kitchen, and when he returned baby Hanna was standing over Mika's head with the plastic toy sword held high….and instead of stopping her, he let her do the deed.

"It got you up didn't it?" he said snickering.

"Really? Your own daughter is over here pretend sacrificing me to the gods and you aren't even worried about it?" Mika fumes.

Shirou leans onto the counter and looks over to Saber who is preparing food over the stove. "She learned it from you, you know."

Saber shrugs, "She has her mothers spirit."

Mika deadpans, "ARE YOU SERIOUS?! UGGH!"

"Could be worse, coulda been the real thing." Rin says trying not to laugh as she sits at the table across the room.

"Yea you'd like that wouldn't you…" Mika mutters under her breath.

"What was that?" Rin asks when she hears Mika muttering.

Mika turns her head away from Rin, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Enough you two, let's not start a fight before breakfast." Shirou said as he stood up straight. "Mika after breakfast we can go check on Gabriella, then Bazett needs to see us apparently."

"Wait don't you have work today?" Rin asks.

Shirou shakes his head, "Not since Bazett decided someone needed to fill in for me while all this was going on." He picks up his phone to show the text message from Bazett he had woken up to, "See?"

"But you work alone…" Rin pointed out.

"I know…"

"That could turn out bad…" she added.

"….I know…"

"Not as bad as a toy sword to the face from a toddler…" Mika interjected.

Rin and Shirou immediately stare at Mika with blank stares, which makes Mika hold her hands up.

"Whoa now, if looks could kill I'd be 6 feet under by now guys." She said behind a mock laugh.

Things quieted down for a few moments after that, Saber continues to cook while the others just lounged around idly chit chatting.

"Mika, can you go tell Hanna breakfast is ready? She's in the dojo." Saber asked as she started to fill plates with food.

Mika nods," Yea sure." She said as she stood up and headed for the door.

Once outside she takes a deep breath of the fresh air before she makes her way down to the dojo. She took her time though, stopping once or twice to look around and admire the day. After making her way to the dojo she stopped short of the door noticing it cracked and just peeked inside.

Inside, Hanna was practicing striking with her sword against a straw dummy who was having a very bad day. She had to admit, Hanna was good. Her form was excellent, and she kept strength up when she needed it. Her stances were spot on, but to closer Mika looked, the more her thoughts deviated away from the actual way Hanna was practice to the curves of her body. The curve of her rear, the enticing bust, lips that Mika could only imagine how soft they were. Soon she's biting her own bottom lip and squeezing her thighs tightly together without even realizing it.

The longer Mika stands there watching Hanna, the more infatuated she becomes in her. The way she flows across the floor, the way her hips sway when she strikes out with her sword, Mika has effectively made her mind go blank just by staring at the blonde through the door. She's so completely lost that she doesn't even realize that Hanna has stopped practicing and is moving towards the door, but Mika is too mesmerized in the sway of Hanna's hips that she doesn't notice till it's too late.

Hanna opens the door only to bump hard into Mika, the force is so strong that it knocks Mika off of her feet, which in turn tangles Hanna's feet up under her. Now both girls are on their way towards the ground, one trying to grab onto something to stop her fall, the other still in lala land, almost drooling. With a loud thud, they both crash to the ground on top of each other with enough force to knock the wind out of Mika and bring her back to reality, only for her to immediately blush harder then she ever has when she realizes just where one of Hanna's hands has landed, not to mention where her knee has slid up against.

Hanna tries to move off of Mika as fast as she can, but then she notices a soft feeling under her hand, so she tempts fate and squeezes hoping that it was Mika's side, but her ears don't deceive her when she hears a soft whimper from under her. She immediate lifts herself up and looks down to where her hand is and turns the same color red as Mika is. When Mika fell, her shirt got pulled down and exposed more cleavage the Mika would ever have liked, and unfortunately or fortunately for Hanna, however you wish to interpret the situation, her hand landed upon one of Mika's breasts.

To make matters worse, she sees her knee dug into Mika's crotch, "M-M-MIKA…"

The silver haired girl under Hanna is what some would call a pile of goo at this moment. She was staring off into space with a creepy grin on her face, not to mention she was drooling. Let's not forget the mindless giggling she was doing, all while Hanna was still hovering over her. As fast as she can, Hanna moves off of Mika and kneels next to her, trying to shake Mika out of her stupor.

"Mika, snap out of it!" Hanna says shaking the girl.

Suddenly, reality comes crashing back down to Mika, her eyes refocus on Hanna and her giggling stops abruptly. Her eye's grow wide and her face is as red as hot steel, then comes the ear shattering screech.

"Oh my fucking god…I can't believe I…..I…." Mika stammered as she crawled backwards from Hanna and against the wall.

"Mika, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were standing there….." then she remembers just what she had basically groped, "And I didn't mean to feel you up like that!"

"I….I….Oh my god you're gonna think I'm weird….." Mika said under her breath.

"Why would I think you're we…" then Hanna looks down and notices a wet spot between Mika's legs that she is trying to hide.

"STOP LOOKING!" Mika screeches as she moves to hide her shame from Hanna.

Hanna can't help but let out a laugh, "Mika! You…..that easily?"

"Shut up! It's your fault!"

"My fault?!" Hanna said behind a laugh, "How is it my fault?"

"It just is!" Mika shouted before she stood up and started rushing towards the house, then she stops and turns around, purposely avoiding eye contact with Hanna and touching her index fingers together. "Besides, your mother said breakfast was ready," she said before she turned around and hurried back inside the house.

Hanna stood there dumbfounded, trying to piece together just what had happened. Mika had basically achieved release just by her hand and knee touching her special places, would it mean that Mika was watching her and getting turned on? Hanna suddenly blushed just thinking about Mika getting turned on just by watching her, but she shook the thought from her head. She didn't want to keep the others waiting, but she defiantly would confront Mika about it later, and maybe have a little fun doing it. The thought made a devilish grin spread across her face before she stood up and rushed off towards the house.

Breakfast was consumed in silence, more so the others were wondering just what was wrong with Hanna and Mika. Both girls sat at the opposite ends of the table, would not look at each other, and both were blushing. Saber was holding the blonde ball of energy and trying her best to get her to at least eat without giggling at the red faced blonde sitting near her.

"So Shirou, when are you going to stop making Hanna and Mika sleep on the floor or couch and clean out that spare bedroom?" Rin finally broke the silence.

"I guess when I get back form meeting with Bazett."

"Me and Hanna could clean it out if it would be easier for you Shirou." Saber said as she looked at Hanna, who then looked up at her then to Shirou.

"Yea, I wouldn't mind." Hanna said.

"Are you two sure? There's a lot of stuff in there."

Both the blonds nod, what makes it more comedic, the baby mimics them.

"Okay, just be careful, don't hurt yourselves."

"Please, hurt myself? Don't make me laugh." Hanna said with a grin.

After that, conversation died out. They all went about their day as best they could, Mika and Shirou had left leaving Rin, Hanna, Saber, and the baby at home. Though the four didn't just lounge around, well the baby did, but the others didn't. They started to tackle the bedroom and move out some of the things that Shirou had been storing in there over the years and get them moved out to the shed. Hanna was doing some of the heavy lifting and moving while Saber and Rin were tidying up the room and beds.

"Geez, Shirou's a pack rat…" Rin ground out as she sat down at the foot of one of the beds to take a break.

Saber frowned, "He's just got a problem with letting some things go."

"If you ask me, I think it's a good thing keeping some of this stuff. Never know when you might need it again." Hanna chimed in as she lifted a box up and started to walk out of the room to head for the shed.

"If you ask me it's just plain messy." Rin said sarcastically as she fell backwards onto the bed.

Saber had gone over to where the little blonde ball of energy was playing with an empty box and picked her up, she then sat down next to Rin to catch her breath for a moment. "He see's more use in things then others do, that's all," She said with a sigh, "And I would be lying if I said I didn't agree with the decision on occasions."

Rin rolls her head to the side to look at Saber with a blank look, "Don't tell me he's rubbed off on you that much?"

"He is my husband, Rin…"

Rin rolls her head back to the position it was, "You know hearing that from you is so weird, I mean, knowing who you were, and still kinda are…"

Saber snaps her head at Rin and glares at her, "I would appreciate it if you left my life out of this, Rin. I am doing the best I can to move on."

Rin was surprised by the sudden snap, but in the end she knew she crossed then line with her comment. She sat up and faced Saber, taking every bit of the glare, "You're right, my apologies, I said a little too much."

After a moment Saber calmed enough to look away from the brunette and down to the child in her arms, "No, I'm sorry for getting angry when you meant no harm."

"Don't worry about it," Rin said with a slight smile spread across her face, "Sometimes I like getting you all riled up. Makes things fun."

That makes Saber laugh slightly, "You know, sometimes I miss the way things were before you left us." She looks at Rin and tilts her head slightly, "Don't you?"

Rin sighs, of course she did, there was nothing more she wanted then to go back to the way things used to be. To the life she lead before everything went horribly wrong, "More then you know actually."

Saber senses the unease in Rin's words, the discomfort she's felt for so long. Rin longed for what they once had together but current circumstances dictate otherwise. Saber wanted to do something for Rin to help some of her pain go away, but right now wasn't exactly the best time for what Saber had in mind.

Rin suddenly lays her head on Saber's shoulder and closes her eyes, "Every night I was away I dreamed I was with you two, dreamed we were all happy together, dreamed that I never left. In my dreams I was happy, but when I would wake up…..it's like I had never been happy before in my life." She opens her eye's and looks up at Saber, "Everyday since I left I regret ever making that decision, every day I wake up cold and alone because I was too stupid to even consider anyones feelings even if I thought it was for the best…and here I am now, stuck in another Grail War with a servant that I've drove to hate me…"

"Rin…"

"Just resting my head like this, this is all I can ask for right now…my heart is content, if only for a second." She spoke softly, lifting her head up to her eye to wipe away a stray tear that begged to fall.

Outside in the hall, Hanna had no luck keeping her tears back. Even though she detested Rin, she couldn't help but feel some sort of emotion towards her. Hell, she couldn't completely hate the woman right now, she did apologize to her earlier, and to put it bluntly they were stuck with each other. With a sigh, she opens the door and walks in, and to her surprise Rin doesn't even lift up her head.

"Hanna." Saber speaks softly. "Can you take the little one to her room for me and lay her down?"

Hanna nods, and takes the little one from Saber's arms and cradles her. "Sure thing."

"Thank you, Hanna." Saber says with a smile as she watches Hanna leave the room with the child. As soon as the door is shut, she moves so that Rin lifts her head off of her shoulder, places her hand behind Rin's neck, and pulls her into a fiery kiss.

Sparks immediately flew in Rin's mind. Their lips where locked, tongues fighting for dominance, what was only a moment in time seemed like eternity to Rin. They only parted when their lungs cried for oxygen, both breathing heavily trying to catch their breaths.

"Saber…" Rin gasped out, the taste of their kiss still heavy on her tongue causing her a momentary lapse in her abilities to speak in complete sentences. "Wow…I mean..god, what would Shir..what would Shirou think?" she finally manages to stammer out.

"What would he think Rin? What is so different with it now then it was when Shirou and I weren't married? What's so different with it now then it was when you and he were dating?" she spoke with a certain fire in her eyes. "Yes Shirou and I are married, but you are a very close friend to us, even more than a friend, and I don't like seeing you so high strung."

Rin tried to lean in to steal another kiss, but Saber only pressed her finger to Rin's lips and gave a teasing smile, "Saber! If anything this is just going to drive me crazy!"

Saber shrugged, "Then how would we get this room finished?" she said with a playful giggle as she stood up off the bed. Though rather then get right back to work, she turned around and grabbed both of Rins hands and pulled her up, landing a quick peck on Rin's cheek before turning around and putting more things into the few boxes they had left to fill.

Shirou and Mika were on their way home now from the church. Shirou was hoping that he would have finally gotten the chance to meet with Illya, but neither her nor Wolf were there. Apparently Bazett sent the two to fetch some sort of trinket from the northern part of the county, a trip that would take them a few days as long as they didn't run into any trouble.

Mika sighs, "Geez what a waste of our time. Why bring us there to tell us about some plan she's concocted but then tell us things aren't ready yet?" Mika folds her arms behind her head and stretches, "Wouldn't it make more sense to have everything ready before you present something that involved to the people who will be doing it?"

Shirou looks over at Mika with an unamused look, "You took the words right out of my mouth…"

"Can we really trust her?" Mika questions

"Even though she doesn't seem all up there at times, I feel we can…just sometimes I wish she wasn't so straight forward." He said as he felt his cheeks heat up.

Mika bursts out into a complete blush, "Yea…"

FLASHBACK

"WE GOTTA WHAT?!" Mika all but screamed, "Have you lost your damn mind? He's my master for crying out loud!"

The vein in Bazett's head pops out as she tries not to meet Mika's tone. "You actually just hit the nail on the head Mika." She ground out, "That's the beauty of this whole thing in hindsight, you need mana, correct?"

"Yes, bu…"

Bazett looks over at Shirou who is blushing and looking down to the floor, "And what is the best way to exchange mana between master and serveant, Shirou?"

With a sigh, "Intercourse…"

"Bingo…" Bazett drones, "Regardless of if you want to or not, Mika, at some point during this war you're gonna need a mana boost. Yes there are other ways, but sex is the better option…and not for the obvious reasons either." She said with a mischievous smile, "Hell, you might even lighten up some."

Mika's glare snaps to Bazett, "Don't even go there, besides, Shirou's married for fuck sake!"

"Shirou was also in a relationship with Rin before and supplying both her and Saber with mana on a regular basis, up until Saber became a actual human being and not just a familiar…"

Mika felt as if her skin was going to burn off, she felt so embarrassed at what she was hearing, "Oh come on, just cause he got to live every guys dream doesn't mean I want to be apart of his dream. Yea, he's hot, I'll give him that….but I don't go for married men!"

Bazett sit's down in a chair and looks up at Mika, "Perhaps Hanna could help you out then."

Mika was at a loss for words when she heard that. The flash images she was getting in her head cause her heart to race, her temperature to increase, and her womanhood to tingle just a bit.

"We could do that?" she questioned, but mentally kicked herself when she thought about what she said, "I MEAN…two servants can exchange mana like that?"

Bazett nods, "Indeed they can." She said with a knowing smile, "The choice is yours really, but believe me when I say this Mika, you will need to exchange mana before this war is over, not just for your sake…but for Shirou's as well."

Flashback End

Geez, it's hard enough for me to contain myself lately around Hanna…now I may have to…Mika shook the rest of that thought from her mind as they continued to walk along the sidewalk in the afternoon light.

"As much as I hate to even say it, Mika…Bazett was right." Shirou said with a sigh.

"…I know…" Mika replied, "What will Saber think? I mean I know what Bazett said about me and Hanna…but what if Hanna isn't down for it?"

It took Shirou a moment to reply, "Saber will understand, she was a servant herself, Mika. We went through the same thing in the previous war."

"Yea but that was different, you two are married now, it's just wrong!"

"Yea, I agree, but we still continued out exchanges when me and Rin were dating, and Rin was totally fine with it…"

Mika put both of her hands over her ears, "LALALALALA I'm not listening!"

Shirou sighed, Mika was being stubborn about it. He didn't like the idea either, but he didn't have a choice in the matter. Rather then keep the current conversation and mood up, he grabbed Mika's hand, "Come on, let's get home and see how far they've come with that spare room."

Mika blushed slightly at the contact, but none the less let Shirou lead the way.

Hanna, Saber and Rin were sitting at the kitchen table. Saber and Rin sat next to each other, while Hanna sat across from them, staring on with a blank stare. Each time Saber or Rin would look at the other, they would blush and start to giggle.

"Okay, you two want to tell me what the hell is going on?" Hanna said as she folded her arms. "I left the room you two were being all quite, then I come back to you two redder then a tomato and you couldn't stop acting like horny school girls…"

"Nothing dear, it's nothing." Saber said as she suppressed another giggle.

"We just talked about what things were like before I left is all, reliving our glory days." Rin said with a smile.

"Mhmm, totally believable." Hanna shot.

"What? You find something wrong with reminiscing about days gone by?" Rin asked.

"Not at all, I find something wrong with you and my mother acting like you two just got done having sex…but if you say you weren't then who am I to judge?" She said with a shrug.

"Hanna, me and Rin did no such thing." Saber said from her side of the table. Yet when she looked over and Rin again she was struck with yet another fit of blushing and giggling.

"Okay look, if you say you didn't do anything then I believe you." She finally relents, before leaning back in the chair, "I wonder how Gabrielle is doing."

Rin stood up from the chair she was sitting in and went to a window to look out, that's when she noticed Mika and Shirou walking up the sidewalk, "Well, guess we'll find out soon enough."

The door to the house flies open and Mika bursts in, then stops when she notices everyone inside is looking at her funny.

"What?" she questions, "Is there something on my face?"

Shirou come walking back into the house and shuts the door behind him. Saber stands up from the table and makes her way to him, she wraps her arms around him before their lips meet. "How was the meeting?" she asks.

"A complete and utter waste of our time and energy. She had some plan worked out…..but she didn't have everything set up yet," Mika blurted out as she sat in the chair next to Hanna and laid her head in her arms on the table, "It's beyond me why you even worry people with something and not have everything together yet…."

Saber looks up at Shirou, "How was Illya?"

Shirou shook his head, "Gone, she left with Wolf before we got there." He said with a sigh before starting to walk down the hall. "I'm going to take a shower."

Hanna looked down at Mika as Saber walks off down the hallway after Shirou, "Did you get to see Gabriella?"

Mika snorts, "Yea." She said a bit sarcastically. "That stupid asshole Kenji was there trying to get me to join the police force, I lost count of how many times I told him to fuck off…"

"It would be a nice side job…" Rin mused, which earned her blank stares from Hanna and Mika. She holds her hands up infront of her as she backs away from them. "I'll be going to the dojo then." She turned and made her way to the door.

Mika let a low growl escape as she buried her face in her arms again. "Other than that, she's improved a little. Doctors said she's eaten and slept some, but still won't speak." She clenches a fist as she lifts her head up and looks into Hanna's eyes, "It's only going to get worse for her though, someone came to her room last night when we were there and said she was probably attacked because of her role in the Grail War…he was dressed like they were."

Hanna's eyes widen a bit, she feels anger bubbling up inside of her, but doesn't expect Mika to grab her hand.

"Calm down blondie, he seems to be on our side for now."

"For now? If he's with them then nothing good can come out of it!"

"You may be right, but something about him just seemed…ahh how do I put it…" she pondered as she placed a hand on her chin and looked at a random spot across the room, "…protective." She finally said as she looked back at Hanna. "I know it sounds weird, but something inside me just trusted him."

"I don't like it…" Hanna said as she looked down at her lap. "and I don't like seeing you this worked up." Hanna grabbed a hold of Mika's hand again and squeezed it, "You can talk to me if something's bothering you, ya know? I'm here for you.

Mika saw the look in Hanna's eyes, the seriousness. Mika could tell Hanna picked up on her sour attitude, hell, anyone could, she was terrible at hiding how she felt sometimes and other times her smart mouthed attitude just made things worse. She really didn't want to drag Hanna down into her pit, but it kind of reminded her of how she pulled Hanna out of her slump.

She contemplated venting to Hanna, just the thought of unleashing a lot of pent up anger seemed to relax her if by just a small bit. Hell, Hanna asked for it, why not?

"I'm just angry, and I'm worried. I'm angry cause certain people who we are involved with seem to have their head so far up their ass they can see out of their own nose.." Mika spat which earned a slight chuckle form Hanna. "I know, good one right? Anyway, not only that, but your master just keeps pushing my buttons in ways that don't help my temper. She treats you like dirt, she's got the worst attitude ever…..and…I HATE HER STUPID PIG TAILS!" Mika shouted waving her arms at her sides. Again Hanna chuckled at the spectacle

"Well, she did apologize to me earlier about the way she's acted lately…so I'll give her another chance." Hanna said as she looked at Mika, she could see Mika had relaxed a bit, she didn't look as tense as she did before. "You didn't tell me what you were worried about."

Mika sighed, she looked away from Hanna again and stated at a fixed point. "I'm scared I might end up screwing things up here and they turn out worse then what's been written. I'm scared I might end up dead before I can really make a difference. I'm scared for that little blonde kid that might lose both of her parents…and most of all," she looks at Hanna and squeezes her hand harder. "I'm scared of losing you…"

Hanna's eyes widen, "Mika…" she gasps, she can feel her face heat up and her heart rate increase.

"I know it sounds cheesy, but for the little time I've known you, I just can't keep you off my mind. Every second I spend thinking about you, every second we are around each other…I realize more and more what my heart wants, what it desires. Even with our status as Servants, Guardians, what ever you want to refer to us as…I can't keep denying it any longer, I'd rather spend my time knowing that you're aware of my feelings toward you then dying and not telling you how I felt."

Hanna was speechless, Mika just confessed to her. Mika was in love with her and all Hanna could do was sit there with her mouth hung open staring blankly at Mika. After a moment, it became rather uncomfortable for Mika, so she let go of Hanna's hand and turned away from her.

"You probably think I'm mental or something, two servants in lov…"

Before she could even finish her sentence Hanna grabbed her shoulder and spun her around again. Thought before Mika could protest Hanna's lips crashed against hers, her arms wrapped themselves behind Mika and pulled her closer. It didn't take long before their tongues were desperately searching each other's mouths, one battling for control of the other.

After five or so minutes they finally forced themselves apart so they could breathe. Both completely flushed and lungs deprived of oxygen, Mika was in a world of her own while Hanna was giggling. "Was that your first time kissing a girl?" she asked between breaths.

Mika nodded, "Y…yea." She said, herself breathing heavily. "Why, was I no good at it?"

"No good?! Mika you were amazing…" Hanna said as she leaned close to the side of Mika's face, "Maybe later we can see what else you're good at."

Mika's face instantly turned red, her heart had stopped for a moment, and her mind went blank.

"Mika?" Hanna looked on worried, it looked to her like she had broken Mika. "Hello, Mika?"

"Tonight?" Mika finally blurted, "Can we….tonight?"

Hanna wasn't expecting her to be asking that, infact, Hanna was just teasing her to see if she could get a rise out of the tan skinned girl. Though, she wasn't totally lying when she said she wanted to see what else Mika was good at. Just the thought of them rolling around together made her mouth water. "Geez Mika, that desperate?"

"Blondie, you have no idea…" she said as she reaches over and pulls Hanna back to her, effectively restarting their make out session.

"It just doesn't make any sense. Mika was right, we just wasted our time today." He said as he undressed in the washroom, Saber was standing on the other side of the door listening to him vent about the day so far.

"Maybe something changed before you got there." She offered.

Shirou sighed, "No, she just came up with the idea out of the blue and wanted to run it by us first, it's just she was ill prepared for it." He said as he stood under the warm spraw of the shower nozzle.

Saber had made up her mind she was going in there with Shirou to offer advice, but in his current state, advice wouldn't be helpful at all, no, Saber needed to do something that took his mind off of everything. Without making a sound she walked into the washroom, shutting and locking the door behind her. She proceeded to undress, and finally just after she kicked her panties to the side made her way to the shower where Shirou was.

Needless to say he was at a loss for words when she walked in and pushed him against a wall and pressed her body against his, pressing her lips to his and taking his hardening length into her hand and slowly stroking it.

Shirou tenses up at the sudden contact, but doesn't pull away. Saber's delicate hand wrapped around his manhood feels way too good for him to move away. Saber on the other hand is relentless in her assault against him, but after a few moments they break their kiss for air.

"Saber…W-what are you doing?" Shirou groans out as Saber continues to stroke him.

Saber replies by holding her index finger from her freehand over his lips. "Shhh, you need to relax Shirou. You're too high strung right now and I want to take your mind off of everything even if it is only for a few moments."

She takes one of Shirous hands, placing it in the middle of her breasts before she continues her assault on his lips once more. Shirou takes the hint and cups one of her breasts, caressing it for a moment before he takes the nipple between his fingers and lightly squeezes it. Saber breaks the kiss and leans her head into the crook of Shirous neck as she moans softly, Shirou switches between both breasts until her nipples are rock hard. Saber was so turned on that all she could think about was taking Shirou into her right then, though Shirou had other plans

Shirou picked her up and held her just above his member, she wrapped her legs around his back half expecting him to plunge himself within her. Instead Shirou made his way to the door, managing to open it he walked out of their washroom and right over to the bed where he dumped Saber onto it.

Saber barely had time to register the fall before Shirou was on top of her. He kissed down her neck and to the center of her breast before he latched onto one of her nipples. Saber's head lolled back as Shirou worked his magic, his freehand had found it's way between her legs and was slowly rubbing small circles over her soaked opening. With each second her release inched closer and closer, her cries of ecstasy filled the air. She didn't care if the others heard her or not, but she wasn't ready for Shirou to start focusing his attention on her hardened nub. As soon as he touched it Saber felt electricity shoot up her body causing her breath to hitch in her throat, just a few seconds later release washed overhear like a tidal wave. Though her nor Shirou were ready for what was essentially a scream that escaped her throat.

Before either of them could react, the door was busted open and Hanna came rushing in, sword in hand. "I heard a….scream…"

"…Hanna…" Shirou muttered dumbfounded before reality struck. "HANNA!" he yelled as he flung himself off the otherside of the bed and hid himself from her sight.

Saber had managed to grab enough blanket from the bed to cover herself, a huge wave of embarrassment washing over her. Though, she was kind of mad that this spelt the end of her and Shirous afternoon delight. "Hanna! Shut the door!"

It was too later though, before Hanna could even shake herself out of it to leave the room Mika came storming in and almost tripped when she read the situation. "Holy shit, Hanna, that scream wasn't a bad scream…" she mused and she grabbed onto the blondes shoulder and drags her from the room. "You dads doing gods work in there and you want to interrupt them like that? Geez have some respect." She said as she slammed the door behind her and Hanna.

After a second, Shirou hangs his head and sighs. That was the first time that had ever happened to him, but it sure was embarrassing. He looks up as Saber sits up in the bed, when they both lock eye's they break out into a fit of giggling. Saber leans across the bed and kisses Shirou before leaping out and walking to the bathroom leaving him there where he still sat. Though before he could turn his head away from the door Saber poked her head out. "Are we going to finish what we started?" she said seductively.

Before she knew it, he was pushing her against the shower wall once more.

The sun had finally fallen over New Fuyuki. Hanna and Mika were sitting on the back porch looking up at the stars while the others were inside doing who knows what.

"I gotta say blondie, you lack tact. Barging in on your parent's like that." Mika said stifling a laugh

Hanna turned beat read and glared at her, "I said shut up about that! It's embarrassing enough without you bringing it up every hour!" she spat.

"Oh come on, it's funny!"

"No it's NOT!" Hanna yelled.

"Kinda is…" Mika mused, "But if it's bothering you that much I'll drop it…for now." She said with a smile, earning her a growl from Hanna.

"It's not like I wanted to walk in on them…" Hanna spat as she turned her head away from Mika.

With a laugh, Mika takes her arm and places it around Hanna's back and pulls the girl closer to her. "I know blondie, the look you make when your mad is cute as hell, so you can't blame me." She said before she turned her head and planted a kiss on the girls cheeks.

Hanna felt her face heat up, Mika was a lot of things, but Hanna could have never thought she was affectionate…and calling her cute?

"Oh don't look like that, at least not after the day we had." Mika said snickering. "You weren't flustered earlier if I remember correctly.."

Hanna tried to escape Mikas Grip to slap her, but couldn't. Mika had a firm grasp on her, and part of Hanna didn't want to move.

"Shut up…" she almost whispered as she laid her head on the other girls shoulder. Of course the gods were playing tricks on Hanna because when she lowered her vision she was greeted by Mika's cleavage peaking out at her from her shirt, to which her face immediately turned blood red.

Mika could feel Hanna's temperature rising, and looked down, noticing what Hanna was staring at, she decided to have a little fun. She crabbed the top of her shirt and pulled it further down, exposing almost everything.

"Geez blondie, if you wanted to see them that bad, all you had to do was ask."

As if on cue, Hanna shot straight up, breaking Mika's grasp finally and backed away from her. "YOU SLUT!"

"Slut?! This coming from the girl that earlier said, and I quote, 'Maybe we can see what else you're good at!'"

"I was…" Hanna stopped herself before she said the 'H' word, "…not in a good state of mind."

"No, because you wanted to be inside my state of mind…" Mika sneered.

Hanna just glared at Mika, "Its your own fault!"

"MY fault that you let your eyes wander, am I that irresistible?" she mused, but sensed Hannas anger double.

"STOP PICKING ON ME!" Hanna yelled and launched herself at Mija.

"Oh…" was all Mika could get out before she was hit full force by Hanna.

Both girls roll out into the open yard struggling to get the upper hand over the other, but when it's all said and done Hanna pins Mika under her with bother of her hands an over her head, both struggling to catch their breath. Mika notices the look in Hannas eyes turn soft, and her face turn red.

"All that, and for what?" Mika asked, still pinned under Hanna.

"This…" is all Hanna said before she decended on Mika

High upon a roof top a few buildings down, Yukina sits in Soras' lap watching the two servants below. Sora has his arms wrapped around Yukino and is resting his head in the crook of her neck. His soft breathing against it has been driving the girl mad for a while now, but she dare not move, as cold as she may appear this is strangely comfortable.

"Were you ever in love, Yuki?" Sora asked, which startled Yuki.

"I suppose I was…once, long ago" came her reply, void of emotion. "My upbringing never allowed me to hold feelings for one in my heart, but yet I still managed for fall for someone, and I guess you can say it was my downfall."

"Did he know?"

Yukino cocked her head to the side, "I never once said it was a he.."

Soras head shot up at that, "So you like girls then?"

"Does it matter who I had feelings for? And no, not just females, my personal preference is that I am fond of both." She said with a twinge of embarrassment.

Sora pulled her in closer, earning a tiny yelp from the girl. "I didn't mean to be rude about it."

Yukino sighs, "I know…Master just lacks tact sometimes." She said as she makes herself comfortable in his grasp. "But that's what I like about you."

Sora snickers, gripping Yukino tighter, "So, finally there's something Yukino likes about me."

She lifts her head and turns to look at him, "There are lots of things I like about you master, we are not in any position to discuss such things I'm afraid."

"Oh? And why not?" Sora asked.

Yukino's eyes soften and she set her sights on Sora's lips, "Because some things can only be discussed with the body…" she spoke softly before capturing his lips in hers.

High above Fuyuki, a single crow watches over the Emiya residence intently from it's perch high atop a building. Sitting on the ledge next to said crow, was a blonde haired green eyed woman. She wore a bright red jacket left open in the front, a top barely big enough to cover her bust, and a pair of shorts frayed at the cuffs.

"Interesting activity happening throughout the Emiya residence tonight…" the blonde heard in her mindscape, and looked over to the crow.

"What are you talking about, Morri?" the blonde asked.

Suddenly a mental picture of what the crow was seeing formed inside her mindscape, indeed, interesting activity. This caused the blonde to blush slightly, yet anger rose within her when she focused on the silver haired and the blonde rolling around in the grass.

"She dare's lay a finger upon my sister?" the girl seethed, teeth clenched.

"Easy now, your sister initiated such acts."

"Bullshit…" the blonde goes to stand, but the crow caws, causing her to halt.

"I said easy, you're too hot headed. You'll ruin everything you've worked towards if you rushed in now just because your sister was exchanging mana with another servant…"

"Easy for you to say…"

"I just know not to pick a fight with someone no match for me, and you are no match for that girl."

The blonde glared at the crow, "You must have forgotten who I am. I am Saber of Red, a former Knight of the Round Table…"

"Yes, so I've heard."

This only angers the blonde, but she knows not to pick a fight with her companion. Of all the stories she heard as a child, it wouldn't end well. She simply turns back and sits back down on the ledge, "So are you going to tell me what you meant by me not being a match for her?"

"The child of the Hun would only prove to make your work seem meaningless."

The blondes gaze shot to the crow, "The hun? You mean Attila the Hun? Why should I be afraid?"

"Girl, are you daft? The Huns sword is enough to spell the end for this entire city…"

"So what does that have to do about the Huns child?" the blonde deadpanned.

"Everything, especially since the girl has no clue what her heritage is. Your sister isn't the only one who's born of a servant." The crow looks at the blonde and cocks its head, "To put it bluntly, she's a ticking time bomb ready to explode, anything could set her off and her true powers be revealed. How the boy managed to summon her of all servants is beyond me…"

"Does she pose a threat?" the blonde asks.

"Highly unlikely, at least not at this stage. Of course, things could change, this is grail war after all…"

The blonde sighs, she knows her companion is right, but just how right? Should she go and investigate things for herself, or let them be? "This is so stressful…"

"You're telling me…" came a new feminine voice. "Trying to keep things kosher for the grail war and keep the Clock Tower from toying with everything…"

Both the blonde and the crow turn to face the newcomer, but find nothing. "Who said we were with the Clock Tower? I'd rather not be associated with those bunch of dumbasses." The blonde spat.

"Interesting …" came the voice again just as the woman who spoke appears before the two. Though it didn't take long before the crow noticed the two earrings the woman wore.

"Where did you get those…" the crow demanded.

"Those what?" the woman asks.

"The earrings, they belonged to the Hound of Ulster….where did you get them."

"They were passed down to me as a child, what does it matter to you?" the woman spat.

Before either of them could blink, the crow became enveloped in a black swirling mass, dust kicked up causing both the other women to cover their eyes. When things settle down, both girls open their eyes to see a woman dressed in all black standing before them, her black hair done up in a bun, but what caught their attention the most was her piercing golden eyes.

"It matters everything to me, woman. Do you have no clue who you speak to?" she spat.

"Oh I've a clue." She says as she steadies herself, not knowing if the woman will attack or not. " Morrigan, Irish Goddess of War, the one who killed Cu Chulainn. Tell me, what are the likes of you doing in Fuyuki? Were you summoned for the coming grail war?

"Ha, far from it. I wouldn't stoop to such a level. Infact this is the first time in quite a while I've let others see my true form. You see, I've sat quietly and idly by in good ole Ireland as they call it now a-days, observing and buying my time till I'm once again needed. That is until recently when I was approached by a rather peculiar magus needing help."

"Peculiar isn't how I'd describe him…" the blonde says unamused.

"So why is it I'm just now noticing you two in my city…and looking over the Emiya residence?"

"I refuse to answer any more of your questions until I know your name…" Morrigan spits.

"Bazett McRimitz, at your service." She says with a bow, yet never taking her eyes off the two I front of her. "May I ask your companions name?"

"I'd rather not tell you." The blonde says as she turns her nose up at Bazett.

"Mordred…" Morrigan drones.

The blonde snaps her head to glare at Morrigan, "Gee thanks, good thing I can trust you…"

"Interesting…Mordred, 'Son' of King Arthur. Knight of Treachery…what brings you here accompanying such an individual next to you."

"That's none of your concern." Mordred says eyeing Bazett.

"Oh but it is, you see you're in my territory right now. So if you want to walk out of it as freely as you walked into it, I suggest you start answering me." Bazett spat, her killer intent spreading out around her.

With a sigh, the blonde falls in a heap on the ground, folding her legs and resting her head in one of her hands. "Please, if you think that's going to work on me you're sadly mistaken. I dealt with the same type of attitude from my quote, unquote father before he…quote, unquote, killed me."

"Such arrogance." Bazett commented.

"That's something I expected 'him' to say." Mordred retorted nonchalantly.

"Enough of this," Morrigan said firmly, "we didn't come here for idle talk with the natives." She turns to Mordred, "Come Mordred, we have work to do."

Before Bazett could move to stop her, Morrigan vanishes into thin air, Bazett looks over to Mordred but before she could move, the girl starts to vanish as well, but not before giving Bazett a wink and crooked smile.

Bazett sighs, knowing full well things had just got more interesting. She turns to look behind her just as familiar face materializes, "Interesting pair, those two."

"Shut it, Wolf." She spat.

Wolf stopped in his tracks, clearly he wasn't ready for Bazett to snap at him like that. "That's the thanks I get for making sure you were okay?"

Bazett places her hands on her forehead and massages her temples, "Thank you Wolf, for showing up at the last possible second…"

Wolf deadpans, knowing full well Bazett meant what she was saying, "Well at least I showed up. Can you say the same for anyone else?"

"If you say so…" she droned as she brushed past him. "Come on, we need to research some ancient gods…"

"If we're supposed to be helping them, why is it you find it necessary to try and turn the woman against us?" Morrigan snaps as they materialize in an abandoned warehouse.

"If I remember correctly you tried picking a fight with her over her earrings…" Mordred stated, walked to the nearest wall and leaning against it.

"I was not picking a fight, I simply wished to know where she came to possess them is all"

"Please, we all know the story all too well Morri, you screwed him, he didn't return your feelings, you killed him….sound about right?" Mordred said with venom in her words. She was aiming to cut deep, and maybe she could get Morri to leave her alone for a while.

Morrigan cut her eye's to Mordred and glared, "Are you trying to anger me, because you're succeeding…"

With a sigh Mordred pushes herself off the wall and walks deeper into the warehouse, masking her appearance with the shadows that now surround her. "You need to get laid, maybe you'll lighten up a little." She said as she vanishes deeper into the shadows.

Morri was about to follow her and make her pay for her comments, but decided against it. Instead, she took her anger out on a pillar next to her, basically driving her fist clean through it.

"Damn that girl…" she said through clenched teeth.

"She may be a hand full to deal with, but her hearts in the right place when it counts…" came a voice familiar to Morri.

"I take it you know this from experience?" she replied emotionless.

A man with white hair, appeared before her with a knowing grin on his face. He wore black bagged pants with golden trim, and what can best be described as a white hooded robe, with the hood covering most of his head. "If memory serves me correctly, she was at time's far worse."A chair materializes behind the man as he casually sits. "You can't really blame her though, her disposition is rather unfortunate to say the least. Given the relationship her mother and 'father' had, and her relationship with the two, I feel she kind of fell into it."

Morri glares at the magus before her, she couldn't tell if he was playing her for a fool, or genuinely telling her the truth. "Tell me Merlin, why is it you choose to take sides with her and not your former King?"

The question hits Merlin, who leans back in his chair and stares up at the ceiling, "Some things are just too hard for someone who wasn't involved to understand, my dear Morrigan…"

"Don't call me dear…"

"Shall I call you demon?" her said with distaste.

"I'd rather you keep formalities to a minimum. Your reputation with women isn't exactly flattering in and of itself, mage."

Merlin holds a hand over his chest, "Ouch, you cut deep."

"Enough of this, what news do you bring?" Morri says lacking emotion.

With a sigh, Merlin leans back in the chair, "Not good, progress is being made daily. At this rate they'll know it's exact location before the end of the week."

To say it had been a while since Morrigan had felt a pit in her stomach was an understatement, but right now, there was one opening up, "Is there anything we can do to stall them?"

Merlin shakes his head, "Unfortunately my dear Morri, there is no logical move we can make without endangering innocent people." Cocking his head to the side he looks at Morri, "But of course we could just throw caution to the wind and not worry about how many get hurt in the process."

Morri takes a deep breath, hurting innocent people just wouldn't do. Not in todays day and age, and especially not with the Clock Tower crawling about. "No, I'm here to stop a disillusioned Goddess, not further incriminate my own name and reputation…"

"Unfortunately , Morrigan, fighting the Mother of Witchcraft will be a long drawn out…and as sad as it is to say…bloody ordeal" Merlin said nonchalantly. "Besides, I don't think you could further sully your name." He said with a laugh.

Morri glares at him, wanting nothing more then to wipe that silly gin from his face. "You'd be wise to hold your tongue before I send you back to Avalon…"

Merlin shrugs, "I traveled there last time of my own accord, your threats do nothing for me."

Morri deadpanned, she knew now she was working with egotistic morons and people of lesser standing.

"Well my dear Morrigan, it's been fun, but I must attend to more pressing matters." He said as he stood and bowed, and immediately vanished.

Morri sighed, then turned to walk further into the cave to find Mordred. Maybe the girl had calmed her head a little, then again, this was the Red Knight she spoke of…
