If there's something Homura liked in the new addition of Izumo Inn, it's the fact he's not the only guy in the house anymore. Shirou's presence in the inn somewhat balanced the testosterone levels in the house from its previous gender ratio.
Granted, Matsu's existence made the ration 2:3 imbalance but she's in hiding and with no way revealing himself to Shirou. Tha made the ratio balanced.
That meant he had someone to confide in, guy stuff. He might work in a host club and have a lot of male acquittance and friends but most of them are juniors and hormonal teens. Shirou meanwhile is a teen father, forced into maturity with his new responsibilities as father to little Sakura-chan.
It might be irresponsible for Shirou to be a father at such a young age but his pretty responsible and mature in attitude compared to the rest of his male acquittances.
They talks are mostly superficial yet relaxing. Mostly it was letting out steam, telling about each other's day and stories that a guy can relate. They even exchanged advices, Homura helping Shirou conquer Miya's kitchen with tidbit info's again the landlady (sorry Miya) and Shirou giving him advice on women.
One thing for sure, Homura knows Shirou is a playboy and successful one before.
His advices are spot on and even gave suggestions in his host work. Homura swears to whatever deity up there, it all worked! God, what kind of playboy is Shirou?!
To be honest, he can't actually see the guy as a playboy.
He's too... domesticated. Like a housewife.
He and Miya are practically competing in taking care of the Inn. Chores have been divided and shared. Housework became a competition and the kitchen was the biggest warzone.
Homura hate to admit it but Miya's losing in this fight. Compared to Shirou, she looks like a newlywed wife. Scratch that, they both looked newlyweds with the way they constantly argue in some twisted ritual. Of course he didn't say a peep about it and made sure Uzume does so.
If Miya hears it, hell will be unleashed on them.
The only reason Miya still have an advantage is the fact Shirou has work most of the day as a repairman. Seriously, the guy had too many talents. He can cook, clean, and repair whatever he can. Homura still wonders how Shirou fixed that ruined bike he brought into a beautiful blue bike. Miya didn't like said bike but relented with Shirou's on-call job. The bike itself is stored at the shed not far from the inn which is used as Miya's storehouse and Shirou's workshop when he brings home repairs.
Then there's little Sakura-chan.
To be honest, Homura's not good with babies. Oh he knows how they are made. MBI made sure they learn sex education before being thrown out to fend for themselves in he outside world of course. Homura just never held one or took care of one so he's a little wary and scared of taking care of said baby.
Deep inside, it's probably the only time he could hold a baby with his low potential of finding an Ashikabi.
Little Sakura-chan is a well-behaved baby. When Shirou's not a home, it's up to Miya and Uzume who takes care of the baby. Miya actually enjoyed taking care of the baby the most. Homura more than once found the landlady holding the baby with a wistful smile. She clearly missed Takehito-san and regrets the missed opportunity.
They missed having a baby of their own.
Meanwhile, Uzume had took it upon herself to dress up the baby girl with as many cute onesies and clothes she want. Shirou is actually concerned due to the amount of baby clothes the girl is investing with. Uzume waved it off and simply said that the clothes are made by her and she's using Sakura-chan as a practice model for baby clothes. On that note, Uzume actually found a real job as a seamstress. Baby Sakura and Shirou's unconventional predicament as a teen father inspired her to find a job.
When Homura asked why, practice for the real thing she said.
Honestly, Homura doesn't wanna know.
He had duty to do. Protect the Wingless Sekirei until they found their Ashikabi.
Now if only his powers worked with him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Uzume liked Baby Sakura-chan. She absolutely adored the little menace.
Yes, a menace.
She doesn't know if Miya and Shirou knows but the white haired baby is a mischievous one despite being almost 2 months old only. It's something she had observed while watching over Sakura while Miya's busy and Shirou's unavailable.
Sakura's a curious and adventurous baby. Seriously, she's a very fast crawler for an infant. More than one time Uzume almost snapped her neck when she found the baby missing from her pillow fortress in the living room. The amount heart attacks she had under a second should be a world record before she practically tore the house to look for the infant. Whenever she finds the infant, she always experience a mini-heart attack at whatever place the menace gets into.
Seriously, how the hell did Sakura-chan climbed the fridge? Even Matsu's cameras can't find an answer!
The first time it happened, she found the girl in Takehito-san's shrine. Uzume of course introduced the baby to the late landlord.
The second time, it was by the stairs. The amount of mind bending math Uzume had subjected her brain fried her head that day. They were on the ground floor? How did the baby climbed to the second floor by stairs?!
The third time is in the kitchens. Uzume was so lucky Miya and Shirou were out or they would skin her alive as to why the baby managed to get a knife.
The fourth time, Sakura found Matsu. How? They don't know and they can't find out?!
Honestly, it became a little game between Uzume and Sakura-chan at that point much to the former's poor heart. If she doesn't die in the Sekirei plan, Uzume is sure she'll die by heart failure later in life.
As such, she took revenge by dressing up the baby in the cutest and diabetes inducing baby clothes she could find. Turn's out, cute Baby clothes are a niche category in fashion and aren't much explored due to low profits. Instead, Uzume experimented and start using her powers to create baby clothes instead.
Yes, she's using her powers for petty reasons against a baby.
Not like Sakura-chan minded. The baby probably likes it much with the way she always unceremoniously tries to crawl away to meet her daddy whenever she hears Shirou's bike arriving to show off her new cute clothes.
Now if only Shirou allows Uzume to work with Sakura-chan's pink blanket. Sakura's favorites blanket that's always wrapped around her as a swaddle. Uzume doesn't recognize the cloth yet the texture and material is far beyond her normal cloth. It's far durable and powerful than any normal cloth. Naturally, it doesn't match any human made cloth.
That's when Uzume started to suspect something is up.
Shirou never said anything about Sakura-chan's mother. As for the cloth, it was given a dear close friend, a late friend.
Did Shirou met a Sekirei?
A Sekirei outside of MBI's control?!
Uzume doesn't know and has no skills to find out such mystery. As such, all she can do is pamper and love little Sakura-chan for giving her too many heart attacks. Maybe Sakura-chan will answer her questions.
Although, Matsu is already on the case.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Matsu hates Emiya Shirou.
Not because he's a good cook, better than Miya (she would never admit it in front of the woman). It's because she can smell the heavenly smell from the kitchen sneaking into her secret hideout, making her drool and endure watching the rest of her housemates ate fine cuisine on the daily basis while she's left with whatever leftovers or nothing, forcing her to eat takeouts instead.
It's not the fact he's been glancing on her cameras every now and then. Surely he doesn't know. It's just a coincidence, he's just cleaning the house.
It's not the fact he always gives the front door of her hideout a suspicious look everytime he tucks in with his baby.
No, the reason Matsu hates Shirou Emiya is because he had turned the house haunted.
It's sounded absurd and unreal but she has PROOF and EVIDENCE!
Examples!
Entity no.1
The old man following Sakura-chan.
Uzume more than once called for her help whenever the little menace escaped the girl's observations, especially now that Uzume's started working on her new job, taking commissions for clothes. Her power over clothe and knowledge in the art made her a savant in the field. Not to mention, she's up-to-date to the latest clothing trend and what not.
But bac to the baby. She hates to admit but Matsu is also helpless against the infants ability to disappear and appear in terror inducing areas in the house for a baby.
What she instead found is an old decrepit old man trailing after the infant whenever their is no one in the area except Sakura-chan.
Matsu caught sighting of the old man first in the cameras around the house. It's how she managed to track little Sakura-chan when she disappears. Wherever she goes, the old man follows.
Smiling and chuckling.
Normally, it would be sweet and cute to see a grandfather-like figure following the baby, making sure she's fine.
Except the old man is probably the most terrifying entity she had ever seen in her life. Far more terrifying than Miya mask.
The old man is rotting.
With his bald head, Matsu can see that half of his head is actually rotting. Worms and flesh clung to the old man's face. Matsu bets that the old man's body underneath his kimono is rotting too.
Since the sighting of the old man, Matsu had been researching the paranormal and occultism. She is a woman of science and logic in her heart but when she showed the footage to Miya (also making sure Sakura-chan is not on the footage), the landlady saw nothing.
Even Uzume didn't see anything. No old man.
Only her, Matsu.
That's a very chilling thought! Matsu is no good in horror at all!!!
Then came the second entity.
Entity no.2
The Shadow entity
Matsu doesn't know what entity this one is. Her research and notes can't categorized the second one.
Most importantly, the second one is the most dangerous.
If the old man simply follows baby Sakura-chan around, the second entity can actually interact with her.
The first sighting was on the living while Uzume is watching over Sakura-chan. While the girl was sewing, Sakura began to squirm and break her little fortress in a bid to escape. Then it appeared.
The entity is can only described as living shadow. Pitch black and featureless, only the general shape that it's a man and in the middle-aged group.
The entity then proceeded to fix the infants mess and before entertaining said child, making the infant giggle and reach for the entiy. Matsu tried her best to alert Uzume but Matsu is stuck frozen in fear.
It can touch the infant and the pillows. Safe to say it can hurt them too.
The second entity's activity differs from the first one. Where the second only observes, the latter interacts. Whenever it appears, Matsu is always on edge.
The old man was terrifying due to it's appearance but it doesn't interact or probably incapable of it.
The second has no such limitation.
Then there's the third entity haunting Shirou personally.
If the two entity's gravitated around Sakura-chan, the third and last entity haunting the house is gravitated to Shirou and only Shirou.
Sakura-chan and Shirou shares a room, with Sakura's crib and Shirou's futon in the cramped room. Miya even gave the guy a discount to let Sakura-chan have her own room but Shirou denied. Turns out, Sakura-chan is a daddy's girl and would cry in random nights for her daddy so Shirou has to be always on standby at nights.
Until Shirou has his own nightmares.
Matsu has no shame in bugging the room with cameras and mics. Shirou is after all a human and a stranger. Despite his situation, he's an outsider in the Sekirei plan and the grand scheme it entails.
As such when she noticed Sakura-chan is crying and her dear dad is sleeping restless, sweating profusely and moving in his sleep, she decided to call Miya.
That's when she heard singing.
The song itself was foreign. A language she's not familiar with and that's concerning. Matsu knows all languages due to various factions gunning for her sisters years ago. As the hacker and info breaker, it's her job to know this.
As such hearing an unknown song in an unknown language, Matsu's chilled to the bone.
The singing voice is actually beautiful. It's a woman.
But here's the fun part. The camera's caught nothing. Only the mic caught the entity's presence.
An entity invisible to her.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MBI Tower
"Karasuba, it's been a month. How are you failing in finding one person?!" Takami hurled the clipboard at the smirking Sekirei, who tilted their head to dodge the thrown projectile.
"What can I say? He's as talented as you. Always giving me the slip before I arrive on his last location." Karasuba shrugged, enjoying how the woman's expression contort in an ugly sneer.
"Really? Even the one where you had the headstart, lying in wait while he arrived on the fake client we set-up?" Takami growled, eyes demanding an explanation.
"I don't know. He slipped through." The Sekirei shrugged.
"That's not an explanation at all, you bitch!" Oh wow, she actually flipped the table. Karasuba smiled as the woman practically raged and destroy the office. The sheep outside clamoring with scared whispers and prayers to their health.
Karasuba knows Takami can't hurt her and it also applies in vice versa. Yet it doesn't mean she cannot annoy the woman. Fortunately, her new past time is the perfect tool for the job.
It's been a month since they had tracked their mystery man to Miya's Inn. Oh the irony when Karasuba found out about it. Takami's expression that day was priceless, Karasuba still have a photo of that day and she's keeping it that way.
As much as Takami wants to drag our mystery man out of Miya's Inn, this is still Miya. Dealing with Miya is like walking in a tightrope. One mistake, you fall and die.
Shirou Emiya and Sakura Emiya. That's the name of their targets.
For the past month, Takami's doing everything in her power to either reach or contact the former. All ended in nothing as the guy is as slippery as eel. MBI escorts had tried to corner or escort the Shirou multiple times but it was like the boy had an eye the back of his head. He always finds a way to avoid the MBI escorts no matter what in varying degrees.
Takami of course blamed Kiritsugu Emiya, the supposed father of the boy and we'll known mercenary and terrorist in the darker side of the world. Clearly, the boy learn a thing or two from that man.
That man who stole Takami's eldest son.
Oh the hilarity when Karasuba found out the fuss about said mystery man. Granted, the woman herself is not sure if it's actually her missing son or not but the lab results have been nothing but positive.
Now here she is, a disheveled and raging woman who had her child stolen. Said child is now here and just beyond her reach due to Miya and said son's slipperiness.
Not to mention, she's now a grandmother.
"That stupid boy didn't even had the decency for a check-up of my granddaughter!" Takami smashed a chair to a window.
So that you could ambush him in the hospital? Karasuba mused.
To be honest, Karasuba is actually lying.
She contacted Shirou Emiya multiple times. Very close contact.
Karasuba absently patted her side where Shirou's best parting gift is located. How do people think that scars are ugly, Karasuba will never know.
To her, her first scar is sexy.
Now if only she could find out why Shirou can't wing her, it will be perfect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Izumo Inn
Miya softy sang a lullaby, absently swaying to the unheard music and to the morning breeze. In her arms, Sakura-chan, slept in her pink blanket wrapped around her. It's the most effective way to make the girl fall asleep, just simply swaddle her in her favorite blanket and let her rest.
Miya looked at the girl's soft features. Watching as the infants tiny chest go up and down in rhythm. Her white tuff of hair swaying in the breeze.
More than once she imagined it was her hair color or Takehito's.
...She really blew it back then. Kazehana was right, she should have taken the lead instead of taking it slow and steady for Takehito's sake. She regretted it now, if only she listened to the bottle fairy.
She would have someone to remember Takehito. Someone to love unconditionally. Someone to hold. Someone to care for.
Someone to be there at her lowest.
A tiny hand grasped her hair, pulling her attention out of her invasive thoughts.
"Aah~ I'm sorry I disturbed your sleep, Sakura-chan." Miya smiled, rocking the girl backt to sleep.
Instead of falling asleep, the infant stared at her. Innocent blue eyes stared to hers as if looking directly in to her soul.
"Maybe... This is not so bad."
Unfortunately for Miya, her small happiness of experiencing motherhood will be ruined and cut short.
The Sekirei Plan is about to commence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hold them up, buddy! This is a hold-up! Give me your keys and leave the bike if you don't want to get hurt." Shirou stared pass the talking turd and decided to address the girl following said turd.
"You don't want this conflict."
"Slaughter them! Rip them apart and scatter them in the four winds!"
The girl, an inhuman, looked troubled and surprised at the words. Behind her, a massive and unwieldy hammer as her weapon.
Whoever gave her the hammer, they clearly don't know heat they're doing.
"Huh? The fuck are you talking, shithead! Are ignoring me?! Trying to steal my girl?! Huh!?" The talking turd spoke, not taking being ignored lightly.
"Yashima, smash this asshole! And you better not damage the goods, bitch!" Said turd turned to his companion, roughly pushing her forward.
"I'm sorry." She whispered as she moved the giant hammer with ease belying her strength despite her size.
Shirou sighs. He warned her.
The hammer swung from the side. So she was hoping to send him flying, maybe a few broken bones but still survivable. A merciful hit if you ignore the possible injuries.
Unfortunately, Shirou can't surrender his bike.
It would be irresponsible to hand off a Noble Phantasm to a talking turd.
Huginn Muninn
The true name of Shirou's blue bike and product of his efforts.
A Noble Phantasm wielded by the immortal killer, Odin. The Noble Phantasm's true form is a flying aerial drone in the shape of a crow. It's just in the form of a bike due to Odin's preference as a Rider. The bike can transform into it's aerial and land form freely and capable of independent action on its own.
Shirou's version is a recreation of said Noble Phantasm minus the independent will of the Noble Phantasm. He had no spirit to infuse the creation after all. It's the reason how Shirou keeps giving MBI the slip.
What he didn't expect is to get attention from thugs instead.
The hammer came.
And it stopped dead on it's tracks.
"Huh?/What?" Both girl and turd exclaimed as Shirou simply raised a palm and caught the weapon, stopping it dead on it's tracks.
"Reinforcement: Break." Shirou chants.
Prana flooded the hammers interiors, finding impurities and weak points. All of it's defects and imperfections are reinforced.
The results?
The girl, Yashima, watched in disbelief as her weapon crumble into pieces after being stopped with one hand.
"Holy shit! He's a Sekirei?!" Her Ashikabi is naturally distraught. Meanwhile, his Sekirei is still in the state of disbelief until the loss of her hammer finally settles.
She's weaponless. A weapon type Sekirei without a weapon. MBI doesn't resupply weapons. No ordinary human can actually rebuild her hammer without the proper tools.
She's useless now.
"I'll take my leave then." Shirou muttered, leaving the girl drop on her knees, the will to fight no longer there.
How could she when her weapon is gone?
Pulling the bike out of it's parking space, Shirou is about to ride off back home then he heard the sound of whimpers and the turds disgusting mouth.
"Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless!" The turd stomped on her while she lay curled up to protect herself. She is muttering apologies as she cried from the punishment.
"The first Sekirei you meet and you can't even beat them! You even lost your weapon! Where the fuck are we supposed to go to replace that? Not MBI for sure!" The turd continued, kicking the helpless girl.
"Kill."
For the first time, Shirou agreed.
"Oi." Shirou called out, getting the attention of both.
Whatever the girl is, she is clearly subservient to the turd due to a connection. A contract or something of sorts. No way the girl will let the disgusting thing abuse if there's nothing to hold her back.
"There." He whispered, finding the connection.
"You know what, I'll take you head-on asshole!" The disgusting creature said as he pull up a switch blade.
He didn't take one step further before they were upon him. Using Angra Manyu's curse is always distasteful for Shirou but he can't deny the effectiveness and utility of the Servant's curses.
Wolf-like shadow entities came from everywhere. Concentrated malice and hatred accumulated in the area, simply waving Angra Manyu's authority allowed Shirou control of the curses.
Said curses descended on the disgusting human like ravenous beasts.
"Wagh! Ahh! Yashima, it HUUUUURTS!!!" He screamed as he was ripped apart by the curses, consuming him. His cries of terror and begging are silenced as one wolf clamped on his head and snapped it off the body.
Yashima felt sick. She just saw her Ashikabi get eaten alive.
And she just watched.
She's useless.
Termination Level 1
Shirou watched as the beasts cleanup the mess, leaving the parking lot empty of the carnage that ensued minus the girl. Said girl is lying unresponsive on the floor, like a dead person.
Shaking his head, Shirou traced a blade.
She was his prized creation
The brightest star
The favorite child of heaven
And yet it was not humanity that committed the first sin!
The first sin is committed in heaven!
In the garden world of Eden!
A rebellion against the father!
A world broken by the first sinner!
"Break thy shackles."
Demonic Sword Lucifer
Approaching the unconscious girl, Shirou raised the demonic blade and plunged into her heart.
