History

Above a body, Aurelius turned the body on his back. Once he did, Aurelius looked at the dead person's face. His hair was Auburn Colour while his eyes were a golden brown colour. From his young features and Highschool clothes, there wasn't a need to guess why he was here so late.

But, something was odd, why did the servant do so much damage towards the boy. His Body was ranging from small cuts to fist size holes, the biggest was around his heart. It was like the servant had a hidden grudge against the poor lad.

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

Aurelius ears picking up fast approaching footsteps. Already knowing who it was, he just simply waited. And arriving from up the stairs, was his master.

"Where is Archer?" Confused, Rin walked behind him. When she did, Rin saw Infront of him a lifeless body.

"We were interrupted. And as you can see, this is what is left of the interruption." Changing his body position, Rin finally got the full view of the person.

"W-Why is he here?" Face twisted in horror, Rin collapsed beside the body while her's was trembling from the state he was in.

Behind her, Aurelius looked at them with no reaction towards this situation. When you've watched soo many events like this at some point all you could really feel is pity. The Amount of times he's had to bury dead friends and love ones, it couldn't even be count on both hands.

Expected her to leave him alone after saying her goodbyes, Rin did something. Something which would take most of his mana to do, and this was bringing the kid back to life.

Precious pendant in hand, Given shortly to her before her father's death. The Auburn Haired Lad whole body glowed a bright red. Closed eyes in concentration, Aurelius long noticed the highly concentrated mana within it.

Slowly receding, the glow was no more just like the mana within the pendant. Heart beating again, Rin wiped the sweat from her forehead and saying one last thing, then walked away from the boy. Forgetting the pendant, Aurelius picked it up.

"You forgot this." He placed the pendant in her hand before leaving. Back disappearing, Rin look at it with a smile.

Chilling in the front room. Rin was sipping her tea, Aurelius was beside her with his arms on the back of the sofa. Honestly, they both needed a break from what happened today. Oddly enough, Rin really didn't care for his action, she knew that England and Japanese culture is different. Something seemingly Intimate in Japan could be seen casual in England.

Absolute Quiet in the room, Rin looked to her servant and steered there, his face was utterly relaxed like he didn't care for the 5 other Servants out for his blood.

"Enjoying the view." Caught Suddenly in the action, Rin only now realized one of his eyes was opened looking to her amusingly.

Head diverted, Rin's face was red. She couldn't comprehend why his presence gave her a sense of safety and protection. This made her more lenient on him being in close proximity with her, normally she would blast someone away with her magic. Typical Tsundere.

Why Aurelius had this aura of protection and safety, It was actually simple. All throughout his life, Aurelius has hade to be the last line of protection for the Kingdom of Logres. He didn't mind honestly, when King Uther told him of his Potential and Enormous amount of Mana/Magic, Aurelius wanted to burn down Logres.

In the end, by Artoria's attempts of showing the good points of the kingdom. He came to love the kingdom, though he forever hated slavery because what he had experience. This was what made him very popular with the Low to middle Class.

Knowing a Knight from such a poor bad ground became something to look up upon. It boosted their sense of worth, they came to want to be exactly like him. He was basically the Robin Hood of Camelot.

"H-How can you be so nonchalant about everything?" Rin asked him while stuttering in nervousness. She wanted to know of his reason for his odd behaviour.

"Why shouldn't I? You know who I am right?" Humoured by her question, Aurelius shrugged and showed his arrogance for the first time.

"I know." Chuckle at her nod. Aurelius said to her honestly.

"Then you should know about my Noble Phantasm."

Summoning his two swords, Both had a golden cross guards with an pitch black blade, but Rin couldn't know that because of his golden scabbard which had an engraved lion as the design. His grip was dark blue. The most unique part about the blade wasn't the design but the eery feeling let off from them

"No." Rin said with a shake. Eyes on Aurelius Swords, Rin analysed the Noble Phantasm of her Servants.

Aurelius was dumbfounded, his noble phantasm was his go to weapon while engaging in battle. Wherever he went, his swords went with him. Though unlikely no one has heard of his baby, Aurelius didn't speak up about it yet did the exact opposite, and explain to Rin in depth about his Swords.

"Then I'll tell you all about my Noble Phantasm. She is called, Stàilinn a 'bhàis. A EX Noble Phantasm. Clarification: Anti-City and Anti-Army. Found in a cave, she was from as you modern people call the land now, Scotland."

As Aurelius said this, he gently rubbed the blade of his swords. To show its appreciation of his rub, the swords vibrated. Rin being front row to see the exchange, was gob-smacked. Never in her life has she seen such a thing happen between a weapon and it's master.

"You said she... Does that mean the swords are alive?" Outwardly shocked, Rin was wide eyed with anticipation. Got her answer by his smirk, Aurelius said down to him.

"It's time to appear Bhàis."

Few seconds for a reaction to be shown, than randomly surrounding around both the swords. A Pitch Black, Thick Fog encircled both of the slowly disappearing swords, and created a small foggy human figure ahead of the pair. This situation left Rin without a jaw.

Swords completely gone from Aurelius hands. The Foggy Figure was now whole. No fog to needlessly block their eyes, there only measuring to Aurelius abs was a young girl (4'8, 143 cm). On top of her Night sky hair was a pair of horns protruding on either side of her head, as for her body, it was best described to fit a middle schooler. This person was Aurelius's Noble Phantasm, Bhàis.

{A/N: Image of her is here.}

"Aurelius, what did I say bout summoning me, ye wet rag." Despite her Scottish accent, Rin heard everything and giggled by the cute girls disrespect to her holder.

Head swiveling to Rin's giggles, the Loli's eyes narrowed. There wasn't a day in her life with Aurelius without him attracting a good looking girl every second a day. Leaping on her favourite seat (Aurelius Lap), Bhàis gave Rin the stink eye before looking upwards to her owner.

"So this is yer wee master, huh? Not very pleasing to the eye." Aurelius didn't need an explaination for what his sword spirit meant. She was basically jabbing at Rin's lack of breasts. Heard it loud and clear, Rin shouted out.

"You little shit, what do you mean by that!?" Rin stood up with her arms on her waist, Bhàis pointed at her chest to further mock her by saying.

"I mean, Miss Washboard. Ye lack tits." Not a smile, Rin about to jump in for a fight with Bhàis, was Interuppted by Aurelius scolding voice.

"Bhàis stop being rude towards master. It doesn't matter if she isn't as 'Stack' in other apartments compared to you and most other girls. Understood." Gruff sound to show her understanding, Bhàis still though felt challenged by Rin's presence.

"Good girl. It wasn't that bad was it." His fingers running through her smooth hair, he massaged her scalp and rubbed the bottom of her horns.

Purring to show her pleasure in his words and touch, Rin just realized her servants Noble phantasm had horns on her head and asked him.

"Aurelius, why does Bhàis have horns on her head?" Turned to her, Aurelius explained.

"Bhàis has these horns because of a special condition because of a requirement to make her. This is, the blood of a Demon God. Why do think she has a conscious, this is simply due to the amount of Demonic mana/energy she has absorbed from the blood." Saying this like it wasn't a big deal, Rin taken to a different level of jaw dropped by what he had said, thought on what he had said.

"H-How are you able to wield Bhàis? Y-You must have..." Paused, Rin eyes blugged from their sockets and looked up to Aurelius for confirmation. A sad smile on his face, he locked eyes with Rin and explained to her.

"Yes, the Protector of King Arthur has Demon blood coursing through his veins. Really isn't what you expect from a hero that slue many of his own kind. But, that is expected. Neither man or demon liked me because of my half Human and half Demon lineage..." Bhàis knowing how hard the subject was for him, squeezed Aurelius out of comfort. Rin's ears listening intently, started to feel some sadness about his sentence. Expecting that was it, she became relaxed. But Aurelius carried on.

"I'd been just a young child when my parents died. A weak, small and fragile little kid who didn't know what to do or go after his parents departed from the leaving... I was forced into slavery at 5 years old, it seemed to be no hope as I was having to rotten away as a slave." Rin's heart wrenching at Aurelius past, she saw no tears or sadness on his face but tightened fists in anger until it relaxed again before he started his next words.

"Thankfully, almost like the God's planned something different for me. King Arthur found me on the streets of Loges and helped me. A boy who was knocking on Death's door." His eyes now closed, Aurelius's thoughts went back to the first time he had met Artoria.

"The Pendragon's later gave me shelter within their home. They gave me everything I could ever need. Hot Water, food, training and a bed. King Uther though having a grudge with my lineage, gave me an option. Stay and in the future, become Athur's own personal knight or die right then and there. King Uther was scared of my talent, I'd been an idiot if I didn't know this but either way, I had already long since chosen to repay my debt so I went with the first one."

He carried on and explained without missing anything slightly. Aurelius ended his tale of being a knight, all battles and near deaths experience. His master didn't have words, it was scary for her how Aurelius explained all the struggles and deaths in war like it normal. First time in her life, Rin finally appreciated something, and that was living after these events.

Suddenly, Aurelius felt his mana being pulled hard. Standing up, Bhàis knew straight away and slowly started to disappear. Stopping from hugging him after he stood up, Rin asked him, confused by his actions.

"What's up?" Aurelius Immediately picked up Rin, letting out a eep and blushing at his actions. She wrapped her arms around his now armoured neck.

"We need to go, the boy is in trouble." Short reply to her question, both servant and master left to protect the faker.

Over houses, buildings and apartments. Northern end of Miyama town, they were outside the Emiya residence, home to formerly Kiritsugu and now Shirou Emiya. Unlike the usual modern design, the residence was designed as a classic Japanese-style building.

Right away sensing a powerful mana signature closing in on their location. Rin was put back on her feet. Standing ahead of her, in his armour and helm, Aurelius's hands rested on his swords hilt. His once welcoming and confident aura morphed into a calm, noble and deadly one.

Infront of them appearing like wind, was a women in a red robe with fur on her the neck area. The Robe showed her high status in her past life. It was open showing her large bust. Despite her bust, her hair stood out the most, glowing long blonde lush hair.

Her upper body wore armour covering her chest and arms, same as her legs. In her hand was a beautiful spear, you didn't have to be a history person to realise what spear it was, Rhongomyniad.

"Lancer!" Voice shouting in urgency and panic. Behind her was a panting boy, an all too familiar one. It was of course, Shirou Emiya, the faker.

"Hah... Why did you run away?" Wheezing the words out, Shirou asked his servant. Not looking to him but on the people opposite her, most importantly the tall opposing figure in familiar blue and silver armour.

"Sorry master but I couldn't let the servant away. It would be a missed opportunity." Answered professionally, she only glanced back and return to steer intensely at the tall figure.

'Why does he have the same armour and... Sword, as Aurelius?' Her self flooding in despair and sadness by remembering her former dead best friend and protector, she heard ahead of her.

"Well, Well. It's nice to see you on this very fine evening, Shirou Emiya" Hand on the tall figures arm, Rin said directly to the sweaty faker.

"...Rin?" Mind confused on why the schools role model being in this whole shit, he said as confused as he actually was.

"If your confused that's fine. Let's go somewhere private and I'll explain everything." Nodded dumbly, Shirou Emiya have Rin a tour through the house until they were finally at the kitchen of the residence with a small table and four pillows to sit on.

Accompanying behind them was a serious looking Artoria. She kept gazing around for the other Servant that reminded her of her dead friend. Reason for his disappearance was simple, Aurelius knew who this servant was, it was for that reason he had to get away and think about when to show literally his face.

On their separate pillows, Artoria was on the other side of the table of Rin's and beside Shirou who was directly opposite Rin. Beside Rin was an empty pillow.

Rin started to explain to Shirou about himself being chosen as a holy grail master and everything about it. Artoria just on-looked the whole conversation between masters while also thinking of the other Servant. When she thought of the possibility of seeing Aurelius again, her heart would be fast in anticipation.

When they were done, Artoria asked Rin impatiently. "Will your Servant appear or is he going to keep on hiding in the shadows. It seems very suspicious."

To answer Artoria, Rin sent a message by link and appearing instantly beside her seated was an armoured Aurelius. Daggers steering at his head, Aurelius held his nerves and grabbed the bottom of his helm to show his face.

Off his head slowly, Artoria's heart stopped and took in the person Infront of her. Not in her wildest of dreams did she think that she would meet her best friends again. As attractive as ever, Artoria heart pumped blood excitingly in her blood stream.

"It's nice t-"

Springed from her seat, Artoria's mouth was on Aurelius. Her arms around his neck pulling him greedily down into her face. She was now on his lap, tongue finding his, her tongue touched each bit of it. Her mind was only focused on this moment.

Replying back unknowningly for 30 seconds straight. Both of them was in a battle with their tongues, the winner was decided quick with Aurelius tongue easily defeating Artoria. All of this was watched by both masters, to say that were absolutely shocked was an understatement. Rin's eyes were wide open and secretly felt a tinge of jealousy towards Artoria

Head separating, their tongues were disconnected with only a string of saliva connecting them. They stared at one another, eyes foggy in need and lust. Artoria's eyes were full of Lust, Yearn and Love. She rested her head on his chest, the same safe feeling surrounding her. Artoria gave her first male kiss to Aurelius.
