Blue irises appeared from open lids. Two girls were by her side, an adult apparently checking on her, and a child sitting in a wheelchair.

"..."

Isabella was in an unfamiliar street, with different clothes, her body covered with bandages. Her face was also covered in these, she noticed when she tried feeling her face with the left hand. The only one left. Under the right elbow, the whole forearm was missing. The sensation of loss hit her like a truck and she had to repress an acid reflux. Memories of what happened still fresh in her mind, she shed silent tears, her body trembling like a leaf. Her whole body was covered in wounds. But her face was the worst. She recalled losing much of her hairs, only leaving few strands, which now emerged like ugly locks between what hid her skull.

She emitted a low cry as she looked at her stump. Isabella finally remembered who saved her from the beasts. The man who tried to kill Rider. He didn't give a name and at first, she thought he was going to end her existence. But he didn't. Instead, he took care of her, although he lacked proper manners, he treated the wounds properly and promised to find Forest. After that, she probably passed out. Even now, she was exhausted. Physically and mentally.

Yet, she couldn't spend time here. She had to find Vanessa. Her older sister was probably in danger as well. And if something alike happened to her... No, thinking like this could only lead to a drop in moral. Grimacing, Isabella ignored the two unknown girls and stood up like a drunkard. Her body was aching like hell, but she remained still, checking the surroundings. It didn't take her time to spot some familiar faces. Forest was right there, and Shirou too. Rider was arguing with him all the while holding a boy by the arm. Probably this child of her Master. And another girl wearing a strange costume given the circumstances. But the individual who surprised Isabella by her presence, was the one drawing a circle of runes. It had been only two years she didn't see her but Mille Garrison didn't change much.

The girl had been an acquaintance of the twins. They weren't close though, as the younger girls rarely spend time at the Clock Tower the past years. There were other people present too, fighting what looked like dead apostles and undeads.

"What is going on here?" She asked out loud.

----

Shuya yelled like a beast when a ghoul bit on his neck. Now that most of his need had been satisfied, his body became once again one of a mortal. The sensation was painful, much like being deprived of oxygen suddenly. As much of his energy already ran out in the previous minutes, his reflexes dropped significantly, his strength melted like butter under solar exposure and his limbs became dull. Brown eyes flashed for a second as he struggled to remove the leech. With an effort he managed to break its jaw and didn't waste a second to send it flying into two vampires.

As he breathed heavily, one of his opponents spoke up.

"Finally running out of gas?" He said mockingly.

Shuya addressed him an obscene gesture with a delighted grin.

"No. Against pussies like you, it's better for me to have an handicap." He responded.

The whole group laughed.

"See? You aren't fooling anyone, Touzaki Shuya and yo-..."

But the mixed blood was already sprinting in Mille's direction. He heard angry reactions upon his attempt to flee. However, he wasn't running away. He noticed the rune circle about to came to completion and didn't want to waste time. In order to maximize its effects, it would be better to gather the maximum of enemies following.

"I'm Touzaki Shuya and your Boss can eat a bag of dicks!!"

Whether the childish insult would work or not, the half demon laughed like a kid. He relied on the fact that Valken had ordered them to find him. These were definitively part of his underlings, well, at least the vampires were.

"Get ready, shortie, here I come!" He announced to the rune magus.

Shuya collided with the barrier at full speed, his hand failing to catch his designated target. Although it was a last second defensive move, it proved to be efficient enough to stop his charge. Frustration kicked in and he sent his front crashing against the solid metal, cracking its surface. About to strike once more, he froze, holding face with his unique hand.

NO. There are kids in there.

KILL THEM ALL.

Shut up. There are better opponents for now.

KILL. THEM. ALL.

"Grrr..."

The reverted being, turned his head towards the vampire battle, then back to the metal sphere.

There is more blood to spill over there.

KILL THEM ALL.

Yes, let's slaughter them.

After a short hesitation, he gave up on Sakura and ran to the vampire confrontation. He passed a few inches from Mille, stepping on her not yet finished rune circle, without sparing her a glance. 

The demon dashed forward, entering the melee with a mighty laugh. He took hold of a ghoul's skull about to leap forward, sparing Shirou to deal with it. The head blew up under the mere pressure from his grasp, covering Shuya in disgusting fluids.

Without stopping his course, he smashed through a vampire formation and bodies flew in all directions. With a content smile, his kick split apart an opponent, a punch beheaded a girl, an arm got bitten off, an head ended up being stomped on. A few tried to escape, but none could escape such hurricane of destruction. Shuya kept up the massacre, mutilating the blood suckers like an happy children on his birthday. There was no humanity in this, simply a beast feasting on preys. Showing no mercy, he literally bathed in cold blood, his
ruby eyes rolling from pleasure.

These vampires were ideal to satisfy his blood lust.
 
With a provocative gesture, he invited more to attack him as he readied his improvised weapon, a muscular man with broken limbs. He let out a powerful shout, gathering more attention from the numerous opponents. Then, the massacre truly began.

Medusa is my Au...

Quote
Awesomest, most favourite mythological person, right Kiyoshi. You don't need to tell everyone that.

Shuya closed eyelids. The way Rider just interrupted the boy was far from being natural and felt awfully forced. When he finally opened his eyes, he met with Rider's face.

Quote
"Have you never heard of Gilgamesh? Or even Medusa?

Of course he heard the names. Someone with a passion for history like him knew probably more than your average fellow about them. What he didn't understood was why the names were ever mentioned.

Quote
As for the rest, Noble Phantasms are the most powerful weapons possessed by servants like me, Lancer and Archer. The explosion we just saw was most likely Lancer using his.

So, there was more than herself around? His attention fell in the direction of the nearby battle instinctively. What kind of person would the others be? And what would Rider's Noble Phantasm be? As a warrior, his curiosity was picked.

Quote
And, the evil to which we refer is Angra Mainyu, which is a manifestation of all the world's evil. It corrupts people, too. It corrupted my master, once, and the results were not good. Regardless of what Taiga might say, I do not believe that Satoshi can be trusted not to harm her in this state, especially if the corruption has complete control of him.

These were probably bad news but the half demon felt a thrilling shiver run through his back. Was it something much like a tainted touch? Or a conscious being who would take over someone? All the world's evil sounded rather pretentious though. Evil acts were accomplished daily, and claiming it to be only an entity's fault was rejecting responsibility and/or being delusional. He was well placed to know it. Rider didn't seem the kind to blatantly lie, so he chose to not comment about it. No matter what, letting the girl go alone wouldn't feel right.

Quote
I agree with Shuya here. You can't help your brother as you are, you should come with us, get some rest and then we can plan a way to help him. Even if I cannot defeat him alone, we surely can manage it as a group.

Logical step. Going with a group of Servants, or whatever they decide to call themselves, wouldn't hurt.

Quote
I'm not leaving you alone, Taiga. I will follow all the way to the castle if I have to.

I don't care what Perseus did, Aunty Rider is still awesome, she'll find a way to help your brother.

It probably escaped him without realizing, but Kiyoshi pretty much dropped what Rider probably tried to act from Shuya. He was seriously surprised to hear that and it showed on his face. There was no doubt she was something entirely beyond humans, but to think the girl he tried to kill earlier would be someone he read about was... Wrong? Frightening? Exciting? Confusing? None of these seemed to have enough emphasis to translate his feelings about it. But again, it did fit with how she was able to understand how alien he was to humanity. He detailed her carefully, not sure what to expect from her after learning this.

He saw her sighing for some reason. Something irritating scratched at the back of his mind and he growled for himself. Why did she feel the need to hide that? Didn't he just told her about himself? Shuya gritted his teeth, clearly annoyed without being able to understand why it mattered at all. For an unknown reason, he felt some akin to treason. Such behavior could only be answered with violence. He wished her pain. To tear apart her white neck with a wild bite. Open her ribcage with burning hands. Drink her sweet sanguine fluid with a grim pleasure. Rip her beautiful traits to shreds. Break each of her bones like a melody.

KILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILL.

He eventually looked away while rubbing his face. His distorted mind was asking for blood. Although being able to keep it in check for now, it was affecting his trail of thoughts. With time, it would grow enough to force him to let it out, in one way or another. He had to get rid of the teenager soon, otherwise, things would get complicated.

KILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILL.

Not good. Damn it. It was hard. He didn't have to hold back for years. The sudden resistance seemed only to serve a foothold to push him back.

"Grr..."

When a girl wrecked a car upon landing, few meters from them, Shuya looked at her with eyes of predator, her loud arrival raising his demonic instincts further.

"..."

Brown irises followed the unknown woman, emanating only murder intent towards her.

"..."

The prey discussed with wheelchair girl. And then addressed to the boy and traitor. Then him. In a condescending manner.

YOU'RE LOOKING DOWN ON ME???

KILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILL.

"Rrrhhh..."

Shuya's head tilted and Isa fell from his shoulder, without him giving a care in the world. His demon blood thickening enough to sent an heat wave washing over all witnesses in the surrounding area. A deafening bellow resonated as his lungs emptied and blazing red hair flashed. Scarlet eyes peered through the scathing aura already surrounding him. An instant later, the humanoid bullet of pure hatred and violence rushed straight to Sakura at a speed way above what he ever showed in his previous clash with Rider.

KILL.

A burning claw directed to the girl's face, his evil grin widened.

I was also waiting since Sakura addressed Kiyoshi and Rider first. You should post before me.

I can't leave the girl. Kiyoshi would never forgive himself if any harm came to her, and my master would not be too pleased about it either.

Shuya looked at Rider, Kiyoshi and the wheelchair girl. He had a feeling it would turn like that.

He was already getting annoyed. Not so far from them, a fight was occurring. He resisted the urge to drop Isa without a care and to go join the melee, barehanded if needed. Eventually, he heard Taiga words and frowned.

"Why the rush?" The half demon walked up to the others. "Get that you wanna see your brother but, care to explain yourself a bit?" The words of Taiga may have made sense for Rider, but for him it was like being dropped in a foreign country without knowing a word. "What is it about Medusa and Perseus? Gilgamesh? What's a phantasm thing? And finally, what kind of evil are we talking about?"

All those were legitimate questions for someone not familiar with the Holy Grail Wars.

I liked that mario moment.

And poor Kiyoshi gets so much rejection it becomes painful to read.

The half demon nodded to Rider's opinion concerning his arguments. He was surprised to hear that she could relate somewhat to his situation, but he would never ask about it. Some things were better kept for one's own discretion, after all. Shuya wouldn't have minded exchanging more words with her though, possibly around a good drink, but it will probably never happen. He sighed, almost mocking himself. Who cared if they did or not get along, in the end?  As long as they understood each other's intentions, it was enough. And they apparently had come to an agreement on that.

Quote
"Hmm, well, I understand your intentions with Isa, but shouldn't you have perhaps put her in a bit less danger...?

He had a grimace.

"The heck you think I'm searching blondie for?"

He followed Rider outside and was met with a powerful detonation as soon as he stepped out. Eyesight and hearing translating it as something coming from people battling each other. The mixed blood looked intently in that direction before shifting his focus on a large scale dungeon who wasn't there earlier. "Seems like people are messing up with the town more than usual." He said calmly.

Quote
I'm going to find my brother.

Shuya wasn't sure how to react to that. The girl didn't waste any time and took her leave with these words. Their options were clear, the choice, not so obvious. The mixed blood wasn't ready to argue with a girl he barely met. Especially if her family was concerned. He eyed Rider with a serious expression, with the intent to let her decide. People were in difficulty not far, but leaving the girl alone was probably a bad idea. The boy would probably run after her too. "Your call." He said apparently unconcerned about it.

He would tag along anyway, not like he felt interested in any of these. His own goal was to find the vampire, after all. Well, he could do with a good fight, but that was his normal attitude towards it.

I  understand you not trusting me. I too find it hard to trust people.

However, sometimes, you really do need to just trust someone, when they seem to have good intentions. My unwillingness to trust my master's husband when we first met nearly cost her any chance of living a happy life. Were it not for her actions and for his obvious kind-heartedness, I would never have come to trust him and my master would have never been saved.

As he heard Rider explaining her views on it, Shuya's eyes wandered randomly on their surroundings, wary of a potential attack from Valken and his underlings. However, he was still focusing on her words.

"Your master and husband, eh? Are they the boy's parents? Seems like you got quite the cozy life together." He voiced, a bit of disappointment in his tone. There was no doubt the boy had her affection. And from what he heard, that "master" of hers and his husband, too. She had found a place where she enjoyed her daily life. Probably fits her better than fighting with thugs like him.

Shuya sighed before answering.

"You raise a valid point. People need to trust others to find happiness." He pulled a cigarette from his pack, bit on it and lighted it up. He extended his arm in case Rider would want to smoke and continued. "As you surely noted, I'm not really your average guy." Brown irises focused on Rider. "Half demon. My ancestors had fun with the Oni kind. Surprising guys these fellows." He said, jokingly. "To keep it short, the stronger your Oni blood, the more violent you are. You get that nice impulse messing with your mind. And if you don't satisfy that violent outburst, you get either insane or you die. Guess you get where I'm going with it." He exhaled smoke, and answered anyway. "So in order to keep it under control, I cut people down. Being a mercenary has this bonus that you rarely run out of strong guys." A lopsided grin showed on his face. "Yup, far from some shining heroes like the vampire girl, but that's the kind of monster I am. I won't hesitate to kill if it means I get to stay alive. Your first impression of me is probably the most accurate."

An insane war monger.

He decided to cut the story short. "Well, with my line of work and all, I can't allow to trust people. Not like the occasion shows up often." He looked at his own hand. "You're probably considering me a coward hiding behind my nature and stuff, but point is that I assume completely what defines me, and I take pleasure in doing it." He pulled on his shirt in order to show the impressive amount of tatoos on his muscular torso. In between, the scars, you can estimate an amount of about seventy names, classified like a list. "Here. All of them were great fighters, the three at the top almost killed me." It seemed that in his own clumsy way, Shuya honored his defeated opponents. "Betting my life and placing it others' hands, isn't something I do on a daily basis." He added, his eyes focused on Isa. "However, I understand that you're different and only targeted the other girl because you needn't it absolutely. According to me, there is no reason to justify that, whatever your reason might be."

Quote
As for 'dancing', I am not sure what you mean. If you want a fight, I would be happy to spar with you once I no longer need to worry about prana, but I will not risk death unnecessarily, not when my master needs me. If you mean more horizontal dancing then, well, once I have you at my mercy I will gladly 'punish' you for your failure..."

Shuya seemed really amused now. He addressed Rider a wink. "I'll leave it to your imagination then. Just don't get fooled though, one of the side effect of my blood is enhancing my attractiveness." He chuckled. "Just a bit though."

He entertained the thought to have some closer wrestling with Rider but let it slip out of his mind with another cloud of smoke.

Quote
Still, you seem less bad than I first thought. You do at least seem to have some morals, judging by your refusal to harm Kiyoshi. So, what happened to Isa? If you did not do that to her, who did?

"No offense Rider, but while I get that you probably do your best to be civil with me, I would rather you don't jump to conclusions. I just don't happen to attack kids ,is all. I would still cut you down if we get into another fight, regardless of the reasons. I'm not softening up because I spared the boy. Don't make that mistake or you might regret it." His words were harsh, showing no compassion, but it was better to stay honest and keep it simple.

With that out the way, he answered Rider's questions.

"To make it short, my next work was to abduct the teenager. Apparently there was some kind of deal between a certain client and the third hand man who employed my services." He paused. "My plan was to use her as a bait so that I can lure both men out. As you can imagine, those assholes rarely show up without numerous bodyguards. They would get away before I reach them." Without showing any remorse for trying to use the girl like a tool, he explained further. "Girl got unlucky though. I don't really know why but by the time I found her, some werewolves were already enjoying her." His face only betrayed disgust. "Cut the bastards down but her arm was already lost, so I cut it clean." He pointed at the missing limb. "Patched her up like I could and decided to drop her to the vampire. Figured she would need someone who can help her." He indicated the stairs. "When I searched around, I heard you screaming and you know the rest."

He leaned towards her and indicated the children.

"Probably better to reach blondie asap though. The scumbags probably sent people to repay me in kind."

His message is clear, better not waste time.

Hey, stop insulting my aunt. She'd never attack an innocent like that

Shuya raised eyebrows before the kid's rebuttal. Was he left in the dark about what his guardian did earlier? A look in the woman's direction confirmed it. He smiled for himself before such innocent behavior. No doubt the boy meant a lot for her. Shuya opened his mouth but the woman cut him before he could formulate an answer.

Quote
I would never harm a sweet girl like Isa, especially not when she's in a state like that. Feeding off her now would kill her, and that is not something I wish to occur, especially after she was so nice to me.Oh, and, by the way, my name is Rider, not 'eyepatch'".

The mixed blood stared at her as she came closer.

Quote
Even if I wanted to, I would never do so in front of Kiyoshi. It would break his heart.

Did she just try to appeal for his kind side in order to avoid hurting the boy's feelings? Shuya was more surprised than offended but, in the end,  he simply chased her potential worry with a shrug. Showing more tact that you could expect, he retorted.

"Well, how would have I known? Can't blame me for being careful, can you?" His brown eyes slightly shut, he glared at Rider. "Trusting people has the side effect to bite you in the ass when you expect it the least.  I don't place my faith in people easily. It's better to expect the worst from them."

He addressed a wink to Kiyoshi. "That's just how the baddies are, after all." His usual grin came back as he turned to Rider."So, don't expect us to become best pals, Rider." He added almost mockingly. Nor like there was a chance for that. "I wouldn't mind a dance or two however." Whether it was an allusion for another battle, a sexual innuendo or a proposition for a real dance, he didn't precise it.

Quote
Come on, let's go.

The girl in the wheelchair led the way without losing time. Shuya waited for Rider's answer.

Quote
Well, OK, I accept your offer, provided you hand over your weapon.

He walked besides her as they followed the girl and dropped his heavy weapon still in the scabbard in Rider's hands. Normal humans would have trouble to even lift it, but Rider was definitively much more than a human. He grimaced now that he was separated from his weapon. He had, after all, no way to know if Rider or another would attack him later on.

"Don't drop it." He asked politely. "It's the only thing I have left." The half demon kept silent for a moment, checking on Isa. After few seconds, apparently satisfied, he eyed Rider. "Ask away." He said, giving you the chance to finally get some answers.

Just ignore it and move on.

She watched as Shirou killed her brethren. Others were about to get in close too, that white haired guy and the girl he had with him reaching ground level. She didn't feel anything see her own kind getting slaughtered in such a violent display. She sensed some more joining the battles, . Emerging from the dark alleys, the roofs and even vehicles. Probably reinforcement in order to stall the group until they send one of the big guys. It was the best option to get away now but...

Olga felt conflicted on this. She had no place to go anymore, she would be considered as a traitor if she went back after her failure. Valken wasn't exactly the forgiving kind, even if being considered the nice guy of the organization. She closed her eyes and sent Shirou her thoughts.

Why didn't you kill me? Don't you dare if I hurt innocent people?

She rubbed her temples with a groan. Her options were limited now. Fighting with the humans and become a traitor. Or go try to find a place to hide. Deciding to go for the later, she walked away discreetly. Well, she could at least send something for the magus in exchange of him sparing her life.

Word of advice, I suggest you move from here, before they send you a walking disaster.

With that, she was gone.
