My Snippets, Incomplete Ideas, or Prototype Works

Hero of Justice? What A Joke! #8

Suddenly the sounds of kids shouting caught my attention "oh look it's the seaweed head and his creepy little sister," I stood up from my spot under the shade of the tree to see what the commotion was.

There were five kids surrounding a boy with familiar seaweed purple hair along with a girl with similar features. Shinji and Sakura I thought meh not my problem I turned to leave when my body forcefully paused 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 came the shard's voice causing me to grit my teeth.

You brat you're actually trying to force me! I thought with gritted teeth you realize I'll have to kill one of them in the future any way I can't let Sakura's darker version ever emerge.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐚𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐙𝐨𝐮𝐤𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐫𝐚'𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 the shard reasoned back causing me to roll my eyes that's a good idea and all but what the fuck will I do once he pops up at the house no doubt the old shit will try to get Sakura back once their connection is severed.

𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 the shard replied oh yeah sure it's that simple...in your dreams! I don't even know how to bring the marble out I just know it requires some sort of self-poem about my life.

𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐞𝐦 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 said the shard causing me to clench my fists fine I'll do it but don't you ever tell me what to do again! I exclaimed imagining the black tree and chains tightening in my inner world causing the shard to let out a groan of pain and release me of his hold allowing me to freely move once more.

With my point made I turned my attention back to the group of kids taking in the scene again. Shinji was now standing in front of Sakura fists clenched doing his best to shield her from the jeering kids. His voice trembled as he tried to stand up to them but his words didn't seem to carry much weight.

Begrudgingly I walked forward catching the attention of the kids who surrounded Shinji and Sakura.

They turned to look at me sizing me up clearly puzzled by my sudden approach I could tell they weren't afraid of me yet.

I met each of their eyes with a level stare silent and unyielding until the leader of the group finally broke the tension "what do you want you spiky silver haired freak?" he sneered folding his arms. The other kids snickered egging him on, but I kept my gaze fixed calm but cold "leave," I said simply letting the weight of the word linger the leader scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Oh yeah? And who's gonna make us you?" he challenged stepping closer his voice laced with bravado.

I didn't answer instead I leaked a bit of killing intent at them "I am not going to say it again...leave,"

The kids' faces paled as the weight of my killing intent settled over them like a cold shadow. Their confident expressions wavered eyes darting around as if trying to figure out whether they were really in danger. The leader faltered first his defiant stance shrinking as he struggled to maintain a front of bravery.

"We'll get you later you albino haired bastard!" he stammered his voice cracking despite himself.

I didn't respond letting the silence answer for me slowly the others began to back away the unease growing in their expressions. The leader seeing his gang retreat, threw one last look at me half anger half fear before he turned and bolted with the rest scrambling to follow.

When they were out of sight I felt the tension in the air disappear Shinji stood there still shielding Sakura, his eyes wide with a mixture of surprise and something that looked almost like awe.

"Th-thank you," he managed his voice barely above a whisper.

I glanced over at Sakura, who clung to her brother her face hidden in his shoulder, but I could see the way her eyes would occasionally glance over at my own gray eyes.

"Don't mention it," I replied, my voice curt "just... don't let them push you around," I paused glancing down at Shinji's clenched fists "stand up for yourself otherwise they'll keep stomping themselves all over you," I continued ready to leave.

"W-ait!" Sakura finally spoke up causing me to pause mid-way "thank you for helping me and my big brother if you don't mind would you like to join us here for lunch," I was going to decline when my mouth opened by it's own "I'd love to," inwardly I cursed at the shard of Emiya 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 was his reply I scoffed at that looks who's talking I responded.

"An-ano my name is Matou Sakura," Sakura introduced herself with a shy look.

Shinji frowned with before crossing his arms "hmph the name's Shinji Matou and you'd better get it memorized if you're going to hang out with us here," he said in an arrogant like voice.

"Emiya...Emiya Shirou," I said with a slight curl of my lip "it's nice to meet you both,"

Day # 22

I've been dreaming more of my past self nothing grand so far just a faint glimpse here and there.

Sometimes I wake up at night feeling empty every time I dreamt of those faint glimpses but I don't dwell on it for long. I had to keep myself grounded on my current reality.

Saving Shinji and Sakura Matou was not on my agenda. That damn brat's shard was able to influence my body despite being binded to that strange black tree in Unlimited Blade Works. Luckily I am able to control the chains that bind the shard.

I tightened the hold on the shard as a way of payback just who was it to decide that I needed a social life.

Originally I would kill Sakura with an Origin Bullet to the heart. I would not risk 'Dark Sakura' or Zolgen Makiri interfering in the holy grail war.

I needed the grail to attain the second true magic...if possible since the grail has never made a wish since the past four grail wars I could probably gain a second wish to attain Heaven's Feel in case I can't figure out how to create my own version of Avalon.

This is simply because whenever I analyze the sheath my mind blanks and statics not understanding it due to its divine/fae nature.

Still I was able to gain some glimpses into Artoria's memories because of my constant attempts at scanning it after school.

It was thanks to those memories that I was able to record Caliburn, Arondight, Excalibur Galatine, Failnaught, and Clarent into Unlimited Blade Works.

Unfortunately much like Gae Dearg and Budhie I was not able to fully gain the experience of their wielders it was not much of a loss as I'd just use the memories as a substitute.

But I was able to gather the knowledge of their creation and a slight glimpse into how the fairy makes their weapons.

More studying of Avalon is required in order to fully understand the Fairy Runes/Symbols that they use.
