Chapter 02

Knocking Worm Jr. with ONE PUNCH!

As somebody who dreams to be an ally of justice, Shirou feels the urge to help the purple haired girl, his year younger junior who's named Matou Sakura from her jerk of older brother. He hates bully and since the moment he knew Matou Shinji when they were merely freshmen he comes to dislike the blue haired prick deeply. Shinji is a petty bully. Shirou doesn't care if he is the one who's bullied, but he cannot stay still when he sees somebody else being bullied.

Shirou knows the Matou family as more than simply a family in higher echelon in Fuyuki City. He knows Matou, and the Tohsaka family, is magical just like him, though he never felt something magical from the elder children of Matou. However, he is aware Matou Sakura is very much a magical, a young budding Magus. Though he doesn't know much about Magus except from what his late father told him in the past, his instinct and intuition tells him, urges him, forces him to punch Sakura into oblivion. This dangerous urge confuses Shirou deeply. He doesn't know why his instinct tells him to kill an innocent girl heartlessly. It is something which is against his belief as an Ally of Justice.

Shirou remembers the first time he met Sakura more than half of year ago. It was in middle of hot summer, the sky was clear and the temperature was quite hot. The high temperature made the childish and irresponsible children worse. Children are something which easily becomes grumpy. At that time, it was in the middle of the lunch break. He saw few kids bullied Sakura. He watched as the bullies bullied Sakura, but for his surprise, Sakura didn't retaliate and she accepted the cruel treatment from the bullies. There are reason why children are known as cruel yet innocent, they can act cruel because they don't know what they're doing is wrong until adults decide to tell them about the right and wrong. However, what made Shirou curious at that time was Sakura apathy and acceptance when she was bullied. Though Sakura seemed accepting the cruel treatment from the bullies, Shirou couldn't ignore it. He is an aspiring Ally of Justice after all. In the end, he protected Sakura from the bullies with his fist, just like usual. After fending off the bullies, the urge to kill Sakura appeared in Shirou's mind. It confused Shirou and forced him to stay away from Sakura, less his self-restraint broke and he killed the apathetic girl in an incident. Though he kept his distance, he still helped Sakura whenever he saw someone bullied her.

Unbeknownst by Shirou, the reason for his dark urge is the thing inside Sakura. There is the seed which will become the key of the All the World Evil's revival in the world. As the chosen Beast of Alaya which is exist to prevent the extinction of humanity because the Evil One, Shirou feels the urge to neutralize the threat, Matou Sakura who will become the vessel of Angra Mainyu.

Matou Sakura was formerly known as Tohsaka Sakura in the past. She is the biological sister of Tohsaka Rin and daughter of Tohsaka Tokiomi and Zenjou Aoi. Like most magi, Tokiomi chose only one daughter to carry on his family's tradition as he believed raising an additional child would introduce competition. Matou Zouken, an ancient ally of the Tohsaka House, offered to adopt Sakura with the intention of training her as the successor of the Matou's Magecraft as his own heir, Matou Shinji, was incapable of sorcery. The adoption has happened 8 years ago, when she was only 5 years old.

As a result of her natural abilities, Zouken sought to use Sakura as one of his future vessels, empowered by the "Angra Mainyu", Shirou's real enemy. Having to endure the cruel training under Zouken and Matou Byakuya, Sakura became an empty and emotionless shell resigned to her fate. When Matou Kariya, Sakura's adopted uncle and her mother's childhood friend, learned of Zouken's intentions, Kariya attempted to win the Fourth Holy Grail War in hopes of liberating her. Unfortunately, Kariya died in his attempt and Sakura was unable to understand Kariya's motivation for trying to rescue her. His death demoralizes her and she convinces herself that she should not attempt to fight against Zouken.

After gathering the tainted fragments of the shattered grail from the fourth war, Zouken hybridized the collected black ichor with several of his "crest worm familiars", the most disgusting kind of familiar. Zouken implanted these parasitic worms into Sakura's body, which drain her Mana but feed on her carnal impulses. Sometimes after her adoption, Sakura met her new brother Shinji who was studying abroad at the time of the Fourth Holy Grail War when he returned to the Matou house. Though Shinji later came to love and accept his new sister, he bullied her. However, this ended the day Shinji found out that Sakura had become the heir to the Matou family instead of him and he became harsh with her, just like everyone else in the Matou house. Because Sakura was apologetic and expressed pity toward him, Shinji took that as Sakura submitting herself to him since she displayed no emotion. When Shinji finally understand the concept of sexual intercourse and the opposite gender, he began raping her. Although castigated and humiliated on a daily basis, Sakura maintained her bearings with great stoicism. For the 8 years after her adoption, Sakura grew to resent Zouken for his cruelty, Tokiomi for sending her away, and finally Rin, for never coming to save her. Ironically she still kept the ribbon Rin gave her.

Shirou decides to move from his spot. He goes to the Matou siblings' direction. When he is close enough, he can listen to Shinji's poisonous words for Sakura. To say Shirou is pissed is understatement.

"You pathetic, useless sister, I told you to order breakfast in my favorite Restaurant, right? Then why didn't you do it? I never asked you to cook a lunch box for me! It is impossible for me to east something which is no different than a dog food. Yeah, a dog food cooked by useless little bitch," shouted Shinji.

For somebody so young, Shinji clearly has a colorful vocabulary in his mind. Then, he throws the lunch box in his hand onto the ground, spilling the content over the ground. Standing in front of him, Sakura can only stare blankly at the spilling content of the lunch box. The students around the two let out a murmur and whisper, but no one tries to stop the spectacle. When Shirou sees that, he cannot help but to feel disgust at everybody. In the end, Shirou goes towards Shinji's direction, taking everybody's attention, while his goldish brown eyes never leave the spilled lunch box on the ground.

Shinji has curly blue hair and gray blue eyes. He wears white and black jacket, a black shirt and blue jeans with kid size. On the other hand, Sakura is a young girl with violet hair, which she styles with a pink ribbon on the left side, and violet eyes. She has enough curves to be noticeable for someone in her age. And it can be seen she will have voluptuous figure when she finished growing. She wears a purple dress, purple socks and black shoes.

When he arrives in front of Shinji, his attention isn't on the blue haired jerk. His eyes are staring at the spilled lunch box, missing the fear and anger which flashes in Shinji's eyes. Meanwhile, flash of recognition appears in Sakura's eyes.

It is understandable for Shinji to fear Emiya Shirou. After all, Shirou is somebody who always puts him straight with his fist whenever he is found bullying other student by Shirou. Shinji hasn't won a confrontation against Shirou yet and he hates Shirou with passion because he is mistaken Shirou's indifference and aloof mask akin to disrespect and pity to him. He tried to befriend Shirou in the past but Shirou ignored him, hurting his pride in the process. Shinji had been trying many things to make Shirou's school life miserable, but nothing had ever succeeded. He had tried assassinating Shirou's social life, but Shirou likes alone and he is well known as helpful individual. It is close to impossible to paint Shirou with bad image. Moreover, Shirou seems like he doesn't care about his social life. Shinji also tried to gang up on Shirou, trying to physically assault him with great number, but Shirou easily knocked him and the others in the past. Shinji's fear and hatred for Emiya Shirou is rooted deeply into Shinji's marrow, but he cannot do a thing towards the seemingly invincible bald boy.

Everyone else just stares the spectacle. They talk about the two Matou siblings in hushed whispers. Some whisper their annoyance for the elder Matou. Well, Shinji is globally known as arrogant prick and almost every male students, except the ones who are around Shinji because they were bribed by the blue haired Matou, and female students hate his guts. However, no one tries to stop it. They only talk behind their subject but they don't have guts to do something.

"Oy, you stupid baldy, what do you want? This isn't your business. This is my business with my useless little sister. Get. Away!" shouted Shinji in the end. His face morphs into an annoyed mask. His eyes narrow, staring hatefully towards Shirou.

However, Shirou ignores Shinji and he crouches down in front Shinji, as if he is kowtowing to Shinji. Everybody in the vicinity, even Shinji and Sakura, is taken aback, surprised by Shirou's bizarre attitude. However, flash of understanding enter their eyes when they see Shirou picks the dish, a fried chicken cut into small size for easy picking and chewing, on the ground. Then, Shirou cleans the dirt on the fried chicken and he eats it without care in the world.

"Hmmm… the flavor is too strong. You should reduce the vinegar, salt and the soy sauce slightly. The crispiness is good, but not enough. You are frying it too short. There is also the grease, you must choose the oil to fry it carefully or the oil will destroy the texture and the taste. Well, I'll give 7 out of 10. You have potential to be a good cook." Shirou mused aloud, commenting Sakura's dish like a pro food connoisseur.

"Huh?" Everybody lets out a startled sound, confused.

Sakura gazes at Shirou intently. Her pupil-less purple irises are locked on Shirou's handsome face, then to his bald head which is shining because the sunlight. There is warmth feeling after she listened to Shirou's advice and compliment. However, the warmth vanishes just as fast as it appears. In her mind, a mantra is repeated repetitively as if she tries to convince herself, 'I'm dirty, I'm not worthy for Emiya-sempai's kindness.'

"Oy, Baldy! Stop ignoring me!" Shinji shouted. Veins bulge on Shinji's forehead, showing his rage because Shirou has blatantly ignored him and hurt his pride. Unfortunately for Shinji, Shirou seems like ignoring him to be here. Shirou's hand moves, taking the scrambled egg his time. Then, he cleans the dirt on it and eats it silently, infuriating Shinji even more.

Shinji is selfish and has the bad habit of looking down on other people, and while he may be warped he is not actually a bad person. He values rules but he does not follow them himself, he hates injustice if he's not the one responsible, and he is kind to women with "his" women as exception. Due to the gap between his "ideal world" and the world he actually lives in, his personality has become warped. Shinji is haughty and known for having a nasty temper. He is also violent, controlling, and manipulative, as illustrated by his relationship with his younger sister, though this spawns from a sense of inferiority towards her. He does not take any sort of rejection well.

"Hmmm... the egg is also good, but again it is not enough. You need more time to whisk the egg. The seasoning is also too strong. You need to lower the soy sauce a little bit," commented Shirou, again.

Sakura listens to her secret crush. She is aware how Shirou usually helped her from bully, but she has never thanked him since he always left after fending the bully off. She notes everything Shirou has said in her mind. However, she also feels anxious when she sees Shinji's ugly expression. Sakura knows her adoptive brother better than anybody else. She knows how spiteful and mentally unstable Shinji is. In her heart, Sakura is thankful for the small kindness Shirou has shown for her so far. Shirou is the only one in her dark life who has showed a shred of kindness for her since she was adopted by the Matous. Not even her adopted family or her blood related family has shown small kind gesture like Emiya Shirou. She really wants to show her gratitude for her senior, but she's aware his kindness is something she cannot repay since she doesn't have something to repay Shirou's kindness.

After eating and giving advice for the scrambled egg, Shirou's hand moves again. This time, he tries to take the dried vegetable. However, Shinji's shoe-covered foot stomps the dish first before his hand can reach it. Shirou just stares blankly while his hand is stretched forwards. Inwardly, Shirou feels like crying when he sees a wasted meal like that, he also feels angry because Shinji.

"Stop ignoring me, you baldy. The nerve you have! No one has ever ignored me, Matou Shinji! A plebeian like you must show your respect for your better! Your attitude really pisses me off!" said Shinji while his face contorted into an ugly mask.

Slowly, Shirou raises his head. His indifferent goldish brown eyes gaze Shinji unblinkingly.

When Shinji sees Shirou's blank gaze, he becomes unnerved and takes a step back instinctively. Shinji cannot understand what his primal instinct tells him, he doesn't understand why his life preservation instinct tells him to get the hell out of Shirou's sight before it is too late. Unfortunately for Shinji, he pushes down his fear and decides it is nothing but an inferiority complex he has for Emiya Shirou. It makes Shinji angry. And making a grave mistake he does.

"You… stupid useless orphan, stop looking down to me! I'm better than you! Eat this, you Baldy piece of shit!" Shinji roared. Then, he pulls back his fist, preparing to punch Shirou.

The young spectator around them becomes excited. Some are nervous and anxious, Sakura is also the one. She doesn't one the kind bald senior who helped her against bully in the past is harmed by her adoptive brother. However, she is young. She doesn't know what she should do to stop the soon-to-break fight. In the end, Sakura hesitance makes Shinji's unhindered fist heads towards Shirou's cheeks.

*SNAP!* —a loud sound of fist hitting cheek echoes in the school yard. The young spectators, who were eager for fight a moment ago, wince when they hear the voice. Some of girls who watch the spectacle start to tear up. Sakura's hands move up, covering her wide agape mouth as her eyes open wide, shocked by the public violence her adoptive older brother has blatantly committed. Then, Sakura's eyes stare at Shirou's craned neck with concern and fear. She afraid for her kind senior's safety

Everybody waits for Shirou's painful cry or wail after Shinji's punch. From the loud sound alone, everybody can see how painful if they are in Shirou's place. However, they are surprised because the one who cries in pain isn't Shirou but Shinji.

"Uuuuaaaahhhhh! What in the world your skull is made of? Uuuuhhhhhh! Hurt! Hurt! Hurt! It's hurt! My fist is very hurt!"

Shinji wails aloud while clutching his hurting fist. In the corner of his eyes, tears pool, showing he isn't faking his pain.

The spectators watch the view with a bemused look. The girls who are close to cry are frozen in bewilderment; they mind cannot comprehend what truly happens. As for Sakura, her eyes keep shifting between staring at Shirou with concern and worry and watching at the pitiful sight of Shinji in confusion and pity. Meanwhile, Shirou just watches Shinji with one eyebrow rising on his indifferent mask. There is only red mark on Shirou's cheek, but it fades immediately, leaving an unblemished healthy light tan skin. At that instant, Sakura sighs in relief as she sees Shirou is fine.

"What were you doing?"

The spectators inhale a sharp breath as Shirou finally opens his mouth. Shirou's tone is flat just like his expression, it unnerves their young mind. When Shinji sees Shirou expression, he feels his hatred for Shirou skyrocketed and he ignores his painfully throbbing fist. His heart is filled with indignation at the bald Emiya.

"You! How dare you!"

Shinji cocks his left hand. Though he is blinded with anger, he can feel his right hand is still hurt. It will be stupid of him if he punches the bald boy with same hand, hurting his useless hand more. Then, Shinji delivers another punch which is filled with all his indignation, anger and rage towards Shirou.

Shirou just waits the punch with a deadpan mask. A second later, another sound of fist hitting cheek echoes in the vicinity, making the spectator wince. Shirou's head is snapped to the side slightly as Shinji's shaking fist is connected with his cheek. Then, Shirou returns his head back, facing Shinji with a bored mask and indifferent gaze. Shirou's expression infuriates Shinji even more; enough to make Shinji forgets the pain in his fist and pulls his fist back for another punch.

"Is this what you call punch?" Shirou asked. He raises one of his eyebrows in true confusion. Shinji's punch was weak, really weak. Shirou doesn't even feel any pressure from it. It seems like a laving caress than wrathful punch. Finally, with a tired sigh, Shirou cocks his fist back. Then, with flat declaration, "This is how you punch…" his fist heads to Shinji's cheek before Shinji can send his third punch.

Of course Shirou holds back his power, a LOT, as he punches Shinji. As much as he hates Shinji's guts, he doesn't want to incidentally kill the Matou boy in public area. Maybe when they are in an empty area or a dark alley, but in a school yard with many witnesses, that is just painting himself as a big target. It is very unreasonable and stupid. He has enough trouble with his other identity as a vigilante in the night and he doesn't need another trouble on his plate outside of his hobby as Ally of Justice.

Shirou's fist heads towards Shinji's face, surprisingly everyone even Shinji sees the punch gets closer in slow motion. When Shirou's knuckle almost touches Shinji's cheek, the bald boy skill fully moves his punch momentum, diverting the kinetic force from his punch. From Shirou's perfect full control of his power, Shinji's head isn't smashed open. However, Shirou's punch is hard enough to rattle Shinji's brain like a milk shake. Though the kinetic force and the punch momentum has been diverted by Shirou, it is still enough to make Shinji spin on his spot. After spinning like a typhoon, everybody sees Shinji's irises roll back into his skull until his white sclera can be seen in his eye sockets. Then, *THUD*, Shinji drops on the ground, with his back slams the hard dirty ground.

The spectators can only blink and watch the unconscious Shinji on the ground with a bemused look. Their mind is still processing what has happened.

"*Sigh~*… That's how you punch." With a tired sigh, Shirou said that.

Shirou's voice was soft, but it is enough to snap everybody from their trance. They can only watch Shirou with a wide-eyed expression, shocked. Sakura herself cannot comprehend what has happened. On one hand, Sakura feels pity and worry for her adoptive big brother, but on the other hand there is a dark yet pleasant feeling in her heart as she watches Shinji's unconscious body sprawls on the ground. Then, Sakura returns her attention back to Shirou. She tries to say something, but whatever Sakura wants to speaks is halted in her throat by the school's bell.

*DING* *DONG* *DING* *DONG*

The bell rings, telling the student the home room will start shortly. The students immediately go into the school building, leaving Shirou, Sakura and the unconscious Shinji alone in the yard. They forget what has happened just like that out of fear angering their homeroom teacher. Speaking of the teacher, it is quite mysterious how the teacher hasn't arrived in the crime place yet.

When the area becomes empty and clear from the other students, Shirou finally turns his head to face Sakura.

Sakura almost jumps in surprise when she sees Shirou's dull, goldish brown eyes stare at her pupil-less purple eyes. She almost shudders when she finds how Shirou's eyes are like staring straight into her soul, it makes her feel as if she is naked and embarrassed somehow. The sudden mood swing surprises Sakura slightly, but her blank mask doesn't shift because she regains her sense immediately.

"Oh, well. The class is going to start soon. You must go to your class immediately and don't worry about Shinji, I'll drag him to the infirmary."

Though Shirou tells Sakura to go into her class, the adoptive Matou child shakes her head. She wants to follow Shirou into infirmary. The parasites are active from the excitement she feels. It gives her another mood swings she cannot understand yet.

"I'll help sempai carry Nii-san to the infirmary," said Sakura with a resolute mask. From her expression, it is easy to see she won't accept "no" as an answer.

However, Shirou cannot see it and he just stares at Sakura blankly. At that instant, Sakura feels like a stupid person when she sees Shirou's deadpan mask for her.

"No. I'll drag him to the infirmary alone. You can go to your class," said Shirou with a deadpan tone and equally deadpan mask.

Shirou is holding his urge to punch Sakura with everything he has. The urge to kill Sakura is very strong when he is very close with her. Unfortunately, Sakura isn't aware of that fact and she insists to help him.

"I'll help. Nii-san must feel heavy if Sempai brings him to the infirmary alone. Let me help sempai."

Shirou's left eyelid twitches by Sakura's stubborn attitude. Her ignorance is really a bother for Shirou. He is holding back his urge for killing her with all his will-power, and yet she decides to do something so childish and stubborn like that.

"Uh… eto… is something wrong, sempai?" asked Sakura timidly. Her soft tone cannot hide her nervousness and embarrassment from Shirou's twitching eyelid.

Shirou takes a deep breath, calming himself. Then, he puts the most aloof and indifference mask on his face. "Who said I'll carry him to the infirmary?" questioned Shirou with a flat tone.

"Huh?" Sakura cocks her head to the side slightly, feeling confused from Shirou's odd question. Sakura thinks over what Shirou has said, he said he will drag Shinji into Infirmary, but he didn't mean it literally, did he? Sakura becomes more confused as she thinks over it.

When Shirou sees Sakura's bewildered mask, the bald boy decides to ignore her. He suddenly crouches down, and then he grabs Shinji's ankle. After that, he drags the unconscious Shinji like a cart, leaving a trail and scattering the dust using Shinji's unconscious body.

Sakura can only stand still while she watches the absurd scene, unsure what she's going to do. She's standing in silent for a while until she snaps out of her trance. She sees Shirou is almost entering the school building while dragging Shinji's body without care in the world. As much as she likes the sight of pathetic and pitiful Shinji, she still holds pity for her adoptive brother in her kind heart. In the end, she hurriedly follows Shirou into infirmary while stuttering out loudly, "E-Emiya-se-sempai… wa-wait!"
