OOC: this is a retcon of
http://darksidemoon.net/SMF_forum/index.php/topic,505.msg29391.html#msg29391. All subsequent posts by Rider, the Sakura she is contracted to (i.e. not my Sakura), Faust and Calico Shirou from that post to this one are also retconned.
Rider smiled as Sakura's lover tried to talk her down once more, pointing out that this Shirou could not be dissuaded. Unfortunately, though, Sakura simply frowned, and denied his right to live his own life.
Rider looked at Sakura sternly. Whilst she understood Sakura's protectiveness, Shirou was very stubborn. There was no way he would simply accept being told not to protect people. Further, she was highly confused. Her Sakura had never been this controlling, demanding or greedy. Of course she wanted Shirou to be safe, but she would never try to take control of his life in that manner.
Fortunately, though, as he left, the other Shirou responded affirmatively to her question about contact details, telling them that they could find him in the North Western area of the Nexus.
Hopefully that should calm her down a bit.“Rider, go get him! Get him and bring him back!”
Or, maybe not....Rider sighed, and looked in the direction of her obviously-insane master, clearly aghast at her decision.
What the hell is she thinking? Has she forgotten the other Shirou?Still, as much as she knew this was a terrible idea, if Rider refused, Sakura would simply order Faust to do the job instead, and would likely lose trust in her. If she were Sakura's only servant, then Rider could perhaps refuse, take her home and talk some sense into her, but if she attempted that right now, Faust would act to "protect" his master, and she would lose any chance to help fix her obvious insanity, as well as putting her at further risk from whatever retribution might come.
Sakura, do you not need me to take the Shirou you love home as soon as possible? she asked her master, confused at her master's prioritisation of the Shirou she had no connection to over the one who she loved dearly.
Knowing that Sakura would not react well to any delay, even as she was asking, she moved towards the edge of the building, unenthusiastically but still somewhat quickly, jumping off and chasing after the white-haired Shirou. She caught up with him quickly, and spoke.
"I'm sorry, but Sakura is most insistent that you come back to hers, she won't take no for an answer. In the state she's in right now, I dare not argue with her, she'll just go even more insane. Could you please come back with me so we can straighten things out?" she said, politely.
This Shirou wasn't someone she had any particular love for, but she knew Sakura wanted him protected, and it would be much easier and faster if he were to just come willingly, and it would hopefully allow her to demonstrate to Sakura that he could keep himself safe.
