- Quick Warning: Some Rin's fans will be incredibly confused by what I've done but… the potential was unlimited and I don't regret anything. Also yes, I took this much time to prepare myself for the Nuking I might be suffering (Not that I was bored or something like that...) and… yeah. -

Chapter 9: Rin's Quest for a Date!

"This is a terrible idea."

"It is not!" I pouted while half-dragging the dejected Tohsaka through the crowded streets of the central area of Fuyuki. Illya was walking just few steps behind, a hand on her mouth as she tried to hide the fact she was finding this whole situation amusing.

While the Einzbern had been doubtful of my interest in helping the trouble-making girl, but her opinion did an 180 when I decided to confide her my super-secret plan for the unaware Rin. If I had managed to match-up Sakura with Shirou with some quick planning, then I could do something similar with Rin.

The girl looked quite gloomy, the warm bath and the delicious breakfast made by yours truly managed to just raise her morale just a little. Enough to get her out of the ruins of the Tohsaka manor and into Fuyuki proper.

She was keeping close, her arms wrapped lazily around my right arm as she was wobbling more than walking. Sleepy and incredibly depressed, the girl was quite having trouble keeping a stable pacing through our walk.

It hindered pretty much my capacity to intervene properly, but I still had some hope that something was going to happen today and things were going to work smoothly.

An hour of quiet browsing through the shops of the city somehow softened the young Tohsaka's sadness, new clothes and some magazines being brought in the mean time I tried to scavenge something for this situation.

Surprisingly enough Illya didn't linger too much in clothes shop, saying that she had already brought enough clothes for this month, but she still decided to buy some books that she found intriguing.

Time passed and my hope dimmed just a little as I considered this whole situation just a little more. Nobody important, nor recognizable was walking in this particular part of the city and I contemplated the possibility of moving to another section of Fuyuki.

Maybe nearby Homurahara Academy? No, Rin wouldn't want to be near one of the reasons she had bunked up in her house. After skipping some days at school and with Shirou and her sister now an item, that place was currently a big no-no in her mind.

Just as I turned to mention my thoughts to Illya, I found my face ungracefully slammed on the ground by an unexpected kick. "Let her go, you pervert!"

Ugh! I was mostly sure that my nose was broken as it felt wet to the touch and… No, it was just bleeding at this point. Rin was then pulled away by a very familiar brunette and- Ayako Mitsuzuri?

The strict girl gave me the deadliest of glares as she took her classmate closer to her, almost putting her head on her chest. The Tohsaka was blushing, her face showing confusion, panic and… something about her eyes directly staring at the fellow girl's bust.

Oh my!

"T-That was rude of you, young miss." I muttered, my tone surprisingly holding well as the blood continued to fall off my nose. Illya was quick to close up the distance, bringing her light-plum handkerchief to my face as she softly pressured the hurting bit. I smiled a little and let her do her handiwork in peace as I addressed the now-confused girl.

"What do you mean, you pervert? I was… helping my-" I think that the reason she started to waver was because she had now noticed the fairly-beautiful woman nursing me and that Rin looked positively embarassed.

"I am Juste, Rin's cousin. Who are you, rude miss?" Ayako paled at the presentation and the jab made her jaws drop low.

I was quite disappointed that there wasn't anything else to that reaction. No gasping, no 'eep'ing. Nothing.

"J-Juste-san, I am sorry, I-I thought that-"

"I was attacking your friend and that you wanted to save her, commendable thinking in normal circumstances."

And now there was a pretty blush. See? Give me some time and I can turn people putty in my caring hands.

"A-Anyway, my name is Ayako Mitsuzuri, Juste-san. I-It could have been a better time to introduce ourselves-"

"But alas accidents happen." I interjected calmly. "Still, I think it was nice to meet you, Ayako-san and-"

Pausing a moment, I finally noticed that the little embrace between the two had long-ended and yet Rin was still… straddling close to the brunette.

"And I think it would do good for Rin that you joined us for lunch." The Tohsaka froze instantly as she felt the attention shifted so suddenly on her. "You see, she had been sad because of a recent competition and… she need some moral support."

But while the young Magus felt her world crumble in a fit of embarrassment, Ayako seemed surprisingly elated at the proposal while also giving a worried look at the blue-eyed girl.

"I-If I am not intruding, then I would more than happily accept."

I nodded. "Good."

While the restaurant picked was hardly expensive, the atmosphere around this place oddly reminded of one of those super-pricey ones with European connotations.

Four seats were picked, with Illya and I seated in front of Rin and Ayako. The Tohsaka had been purposely placed in the corner of the couch-seat to avoid any attempt to escape the glorious quest of the modern cupid that I am.

Picking the menu, we quickly got our orders and, as we waited for our food, Illya decided to probe for some more info from the genuinely-respectable girl. The range of the questions went from basic things like 'how much she had known Rin' and 'if she had some hobby' to 'if she knew about Shirou' and 'how he was going at school'.

"Forgive me if I don't answer the questions about Emiya-san, Einzbern-san, but I cannot speak about someone I know and you don't-"

"Illya is Shirou's big sister. The firstborn of Kiritsugu-san, Shirou's adopted father."

The Archery Club President's eyes widened. "T-Truly? E-Emiya-san said anything about an older sibling-"

"Kiritsugu-san kept quiet from him. There were certain situations that-" I squeezed Illya's hand in an attempt to comfort her as I spotted the first flinch. "That stripped him of her custody."

"That sound dreadful and- I'm sorry for bringing this up if it remind you of anything bad or-"

"D-Don't worry, Ayako-chan. My skin is thicker now and I don't feel much from that." Illya quickly replied, eyes switching to a more teasing light. "By the way, could you explain to us what kind of relationship you and Rin are in?"

Cue the two girls exploding in massive blushes, barely looking at each other but seemingly trying to get glances of their respective reactions.

I chuckled as I wrapped one arm around Illya and brought her close enough for me to plant a kiss on her cheek. She blushed a little, but the smile in her face merely widened at this intimate contact as she turned to get a peck on my own lips.

This time I was the one blushing.

"I-I mean, she is my rival- but also friend-"

"A-Ayako is a good friend- but she is also my rival-"

"Do you find Rin pretty, Ayako-chan?" The Einzbern pressured the discovered weakpoint and-

"She is quite beautiful-" Her eyes widened as her mouth blurted this without thinking about it. "I mean-"

"I- I am not that much great-"

"Y-You are!" There was some stubborn determination. "T-This is why I strive to- to become as gorgeous as you are!"

I think Rin was burning at this point, I swear I could smell bacon being cooked as the girl tried and failed to deflect the honest and blunt comment of the classmate. A blubbering mess that was being hit by some positive comments that ended up only making her even more embarrassed and flattered.

Ayako wasn't faring better as the more her mouth said, the more her cheeks reddened as she realized she was going full-auto with her words, forgetting the context and the people around her as she continued to speak her mind.

The Captain of the Archery Club was being deadly honest with the poor Tohsaka and… an even more devious plan emerged from my brain as I reached for Illya's ear and whispered it to her.

Glee, intrigue and giddiness, that was she showed in her expressive face as I finished telling her about what I wanted to do with this situation and… we both stood up from our seats at the same time.

The two girls turned their attentions at us at the sudden action, questioning silently with their stares what we were doing here now. "Illya-chan is feeling a little tired, so I guess we will be going back home. Don't worry, Rin-chan, Ayako-chan will surely keep you company around and-" I dropped a small back of money on the table.

"This will cover up the expenses here and you can use it to go around Fuyuki to have fun."

For some reason the brunette looked quite cheered by this explanation while Rin… well, the young Magus was giving some intriguing looks at the poor table, ending up to slam her head on it and abuse it like that.

What a strange but lovely girl.

It has been at least six hours since I had last contact with Rin Tohsaka and, while I should be incredibly concerned for the lack of her telling if she was alright or not just like any normal 'big brother' should be, I was sure that she was doing fine.

With Ayako around, no one would end up bothering her and, knowing that the brunette wanted to do much with the Tohsaka, I also knew that I was going to hear some fun stories pretty soon.

And that did happen few moments later!

The movie Illya and I were watching on the massive TV was reaching its romantic climax when Sella knocked by the door to present my… cellphone? When did I leave it to the two maids and… I hope they didn't check the picture folders in it.

The device was still containing some… questionable content within it and… yep, from the sudden blush at my inquisitive glance to the trembling hold she had to hand over the phone I knew that they had 'searched for any dangerous content' within it and… found my interesting collection.

As I checked why I was being handed the object, I noticed that someone was calling and… it was Rin. Poking at Illya to check the name of the caller, I immediately started the call and answered.

"Rin-chan, how are you doing-"

"I hate you, Juste- But I also have to tell you thank you for-"

"'For letting me kiss the best girl I've met in my whole life'?" Illya snickered at my imitation of the girl.

"No, I mean yes but- Look, I have to tell you that I will be busy for some days. S-Spending sometime with my…" A brief pause followed and I frowned at the strange sentence, but just as I was about to call her out she continued. "I-I will be with my new girlfriend. A-Aya-chan said she wanted to get some dates going a-and I would like to know her better too."

"So you are going to be unavailable for the trip in Italy?"

"Yes. B-But there is something I wanted to actually ask."

"Shoot, I will answer the best I can."

I was ready for everything. I swear I thought I was ready for everything but… this floored me instantly.

"Aya-chan and I d-did something strange. S-She called it Scissor-something a-and I thought of asking since I don't have knowledge of anything of that sort for… some special things."

I blinked as Illya looked confused as well. "You know about it?" Nodding at her question I finally decided to answer the extremely embarrassing question without melting in the process.

"From my understanding those 'special things' were something you and her did. Something only two girls that love each other did. And I will say that the reason why you never heard of it is… because school never mention much about girl-on-girl action in Health Class."

"H-health class? You mean that special lesson Taiga-sensei did about- oh."

"You mean to tell me you didn't connect the dots while you were doing it?" There was another pause and…

"I-I was enjoying it! I don't think too much while I am having f-fu-Actually, I think I will stop now."

"For the sake of not over-teasing you yes, you should."

The call ended and Illya hummed quietly as she straddled at me. "Tell me about this 'Scissor-thing'."

Welp, it would seems like I got screwed by the end of the things. At least I wasn't the only time this time… eheheheheh.

AN

Got hit by some hardcore writer block that kicked my butt a lot. This is back yes and no, I will not stop… EVER!

Hashirama 1710: Sadly only Juste and Illya are going to 'jump'. Kind of hard to keep up with too many characters at once.

Guest (Chapter 8): It's more like she was stopped just after getting Artoria. What does it mean? Sakura can now 'spice up' their nights with some interesting arsenal.

Reishin Amara: Sakura 5 + BB. BB is uniquely (an asshole, a douchebag, a bitch) special… wait, did I said something else? I think… I did?

Akutzu Pentaghast: That would be the right way but… dunno, might pull a surprise or two.

Guest 2 (Chapter 8): Every part of Sakura Five has some major flaws, while you are right about Meltlillith's sadistic tendencies, she gets to be a cinnamon roll ( event in FGO kind of confirms it) and Passion Lip has a little issue I dislike (not her but part of her) and that is her masochistic tendencies as she does like being 'hurt' too. They are all part of the original Sakura, portraying each and every compliment and flaws of the character. Still yeah, same story as the Party Pooping duo is going for a massive multicrossing.

Guest 3 (Chapter 8): I think you mean Crackish. Yes, Zouken is alive but… it will be explained next chapter. I have prepped a fun resolution for him by the end of the day and… it will be fun.
