Chapter 3: Chapter 3 - Tohsaka Rin
After his attack was mysteriously stopped with a duplicate of Gaebolg, Lancer have a plan to reveal who was the mysterious person who stop his attack and saving Saber. But before he could do that, Kotomine Kirei his Master calling him to going back to the church. Even though Lancer didn't like it, he doesn't have a choice except for retreat. Because his Master order is absolute.
When Saber saw that Lancer is about to go, she shouted:
"Are you want to escape while our fight hasn't end yet!"
"I'm sorry but my Master is calling me and ask me to retreat, so let's continue our fight later, Saber!" Lancer said with a smirk on his faces.
Lancer then jumping to the air and then disappear in the darkness of night. Chu Chullain feel really disappointed that je can continue his fight againts Saber. But he promised to himself when he got a chance to once again duel againts Saber he will going all out from the start.
One thing that made Lancer is confused was who was the one who throw the copy of his spear to defend the original spear that he throw to Saber? Lancer is had a hunch that the who save Saber was Archer. Because the magical aura left after the fake spear is gone really indentical to Archer magical aura.
"Sigh Archer maybe is the one who save Saber from far away, because from the previous fight againts him, I can tell that he can made a copy of Noble Phantasm using projection magic!"
Lancer wasn't too sure about his analysis, but for now only Archer the suspect in his mind that have an ability to copy his spear.
"I will fight him again soon or later and in that fight I will made sure that neither he the one who save Saber or not."

"That damn coward!" Saber shouted. "Why did he escape when we were still fighting!"
Saber stomped her feet to the ground because of her anger. But because she stomped her feet to hard her feet is sinking to the ground that she stomp, and now her feet was stuck inside the hole that her feet made.
"Are you okay Saber?" Asked Shirou while walking slowly to Saber. "Are you not hurt?"
"I am okay, Master," Replied Saber who feel relieved that her Master had come. "Only my feet was not okay because right now my foot my stuck on the ground."
"Well then let me help you Saber," Shirou said while smiling because his Saber is okay. And then helping Saber foot out of the ground. Shirou also try his best to not laugh for the incident that just happen to Saber. Because for him the incident where Saber foot stuck to the ground was quite funny.
Saber said a thank you to Shirou, with a blushed faces because she feel really embarassed about the incident.
After Saber was helped by Shirou, Saber want to asking something to the boy with red hair and brown eyes. About the thing that made her fight againts Lancer is ended.
"Master there is one thing that I want to ask to you right now," Saber said with a very serious face expression. "And I want you to answer it truthfully!"
Seeing Saber serious faces, Shirou can already guess what kind of question that she would ask to him. But because Shirou didn't want Saber knew that he is someone who was coming back from the future, Shirou must have to told a lie to Saber. Something that he really didn't like to do, especially to someone who was very precious to him.
"What did you want to ask to me Saber?" Shirou said who look very calm when he talk to Saber.
"Are you the one who made a copy of Lancer spear, and then throwing it to save me?" Asked Saber.
"Yes, I was the one who made the copy of Gaebolg and throwing it to save you," Replied Shirou. "Because I can't just only standing in silence while doing nothing, when your life was in danger Saber."

"Your action is very stupid and reckless Master!" Shouted Saber. "That was a suicidal moves, by try to interfere Lancer Spears, but thankfully you are smart enough to hide behind a tree when you try to save me. And because of that, Lancer didn't knew your identity as the one who save me, and I very grateful that you are saving me Master."
"And I'm very happy that I can save you my Servant, I knew that I only an ordinary human that doesn't have the spec of superhuman power of Servant, but if I din't try to save you Saber I would lost you!" Shirou said. "There is no way I would let someone who are precious to me was killed, even though I'm still didn't know much about why I can successfully summon you when I drop my blood to the magic circle on the floof of the shed, while I try every other way to summon you for the last one weeks even before the start of the Holy Grail War that I didn't know much about. "
"You didn't know much about thw Holy Grail War?" Asked Saber.
"All I knew about the war from my oldman Kiritsugu is that I must to summon a servant to fight in a survival event againts another Master and Servant," Answered Shirou. "And also I knew about the function of Command Seal."
"I see that you already knew about the basic of Holy Grail War," Saber who finally knew who Shirou is, even though she was sure that Kiritsugu doesn't have a son but a daugther name Illya, are her Master was adopted by Kiritsugu her former Master? "But let me explain you in detail what thw Holy Grail War is, a Holy Grail War is a survival competition between 7 Masters, until only one Master and one Servant left and after that the winner in the competition will have their one wish granted by the Holy Grail."
"Thanks for explaining all of that to me Saber," Shirou said with a charming smile on his faces. "To tell you the truth I really didn't know anything at all about the wish granting part."
"I-it's okay Master," Saber said who was blushing because she was charmed by Shirou smile. "I-I just doing my job as your Servant."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Saber, you always called me Master but your appearance is like someone at my age, so I want you to call me Shirou, so I can be feel more comfortable when you call me," Shirou said.
"Bu-but is not apropriate for a Servant like me calling you only by a name," Saber said with a blush on her faces.
Shirou didn't understand why did Saber blushing like that, the first time they meet in the previous life before he starting it over. Saber act like a knight who almost didn't have emotion. She act cold to him the first time they met. But as the time pass by even his relationship with Saber is getting close amd warmer, especially because of the food that he made for her.
"It's allright Saber, I don't mind you calling me only by my name," Shirou said. "And if you didn't call me by my name, I will use the Command Seal to order you to not protect me anymore!"
"Sigh, you are so stubborn Master," Saber sighed she really didn't understand why did her Master stubbornly ask her to only calling him by his name. "Well then Shirou, can you not use the precious command seal for something useless!"
"Now is easy right? To call my name," Shirou feel very happy finally Saber was saying his name once again. "And Saber in our next fight againts Servant, I will try my best to help you! So I can keep you safe."
"I reject that idea Shirou," Saber looking at his Master with sharp gaze right when Shirou said something that would endanger himself. "You would only endanger yourself by trying to help me, the first you help me was an exception because you have a place to hide and Lancer cannot feel your existence because he is too focus in figthing me. But how about we must to fight in an open space without a place to hide? You cannot hide like the first time and enemies will have a chance to kill you! So no helping me! I will fight againts the enemies alone!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
His stupid word made his relationship with Saber who already a bit warmer became cold once again. But her anger to Shirou was stopped right when she feel an enemies has come to Emiya Residence.
"There is another Servant that came to this house," Saber said. "Shirou you stay here and don't came out, cause I must to take care of the enemies that come. Let's continue our conversation later."
Saber then going to the outside, and Shirou doesn't have a chance to catch up with her because of her speed that clearly is beyond him.
"Shiit the one who was came must Tohsaka and Archer!" Shirou said in panic. "Both of them has came more faster this time."
When Shirou is about to chasing Saber, suddenly he can feel a lot of pain in his left arm. The pain that he feel when he use Archer left arm suddenly appear once again and Shirou cam feel the cloth that seal Archer left arm power is loosened and his mind was overloaded by a lot of infomation that is ready to overwrite his memories.
But thankfully the cloth suddenly tighten and the pain that attacking Shirou head finally gone.
"Damn! The cloth must be loosened because I made the Projection of Gaebolg!" Shirou said who now feel much better. "I must to stop Saber, or she will have a fight with Archer and Rin!"
Shirou arrived right on time in front of Rin to stop Saber attack after he reinforce his body to the max using magic. And because he doesn't want to made Archer, Saber, or Rin feel suspicious to him, he only projected Taiga favorite bokken, Tora-Shinai just in case that he must to protect himself from Saber attack.
"Shirou! Why did you defend her! She is our enemy!" Saber shouted after she must stop attacking Rin right when Shirou suddenly appear in front of her.
"She is not our enemy Saber," Shirou said. "I can feel any malice intention from her, and I think she only came here to observe the fight between you and Lancer. Because there is no way She and her Servant didn't feel the Prana and battle aura that came out in your battle before."
"Wow, Emiya-kun I didn't think you can be so naive by thinking that I was not your enemies," Rin said with an evil smile on her faces. "But I admired your bravery to stop your own Servant from attacking me, I made sure that I will repay that, because Tohsaka Rin never had a debt to anyone."
