Chapter 6 - Chapter Five: Before the Grail War Part #1

Shirou POV

I was in the middle of doing my daily workout routine and was about halfway done with my pushup reps I finally stopped once I counted a hundred and went on ahead to wash myself and then I put on my school uniform.

I went downstairs joining everyone for breakfast, but I didn't see William "morning Fuji-nee do you know where William is?" I asked making her sigh "he left just now without even saying a word I swear that boy is getting more rebellious by the day and it's even worse with how much he keeps acting like Kiritsugu," Taiga complained.

I sighed things with William have become different as of late after the old man's death he changed a lot adopting more of Kiritsugu's traits including his smoking habit much to my irritation doesn't he know how bad those are for his lungs.

Sakura came in placing the food on the table "don't be too hard on William-senpai Fujimaru-sensei while he may be cold on the surface, I know that he's a kind person on the inside in a way he's a lot like Shirou-senpai but a bit more serious," she said making me raise a brow "and just what is that supposed to mean Sakura?" I asked making Sakura chuckle.

I put some rice in my mouth and then I quickly spat it back out making Sakura shout with concern "th-this isn't worcestershire sauce! Other sauces don't belong on rice with grated yams! Especially not oyster sauce," I exclaimed with shock and anger.

My eyes widen hearing Fuji-nee laughing "hahahah it was part of my plan all along I swapped the labels on the bottles earlier!" I wiped my mouth with a napikn while shouting back "just who the hell pulls a stunt like this first thing in the morning?!"

"ha you deserved it! It's payback from yesterday maybe next time you'll think before you ever call me tiger in class!" Fuji-nee exclaimed with a huff sitting back down to eat while I sighed accepting some of the tea that Sakura offered to get rid of the disgusting taste.

The door opened and in came William dressed in his signature long black coat, black shirt, and black pants his once normal black looking hair was now shaggier and messier like Kiritsugu's his black eyes were calm with noticeable dark bags underneath them.

"hn I am guessing the freeloader did something with the food judging by the expression on your face Shirou," he said in a light gentle cold tone much like that of Kiritsugu "Where were you this time William?!" I asked as he shrugged "Oh you know around..."

-POV Switch to William before Shirou finished his workout-

"I'll be going out Fuji-nee, Sakura I'll be back as soon as I can," I announced "And just where do you think you're going mister I hope you're not thinking about ditching!" Fuji-nee exclaimed but I ignored her closing the door on my way out.

I pulled out my phone and called Raiga-jisan "Oi Ji-san I am on my way to go eliminate the dealers I'll call you when I am done," I said leaving a voice message. After that I put the phone away reached into my pocket and lit up my cigarette after Kiritsugu's death I began acting like him as a way to honor him in my own way.

The will he left for me explained how he had left his equipment for me to take and how he had ordered that his whole entire body be turned into origin bullets hence the one hundred origin rounds that were in the suitcase given to me.

My idea of being a hero of justice revolved around protecting those I love while eliminating the threat before it comes to them hence, I trained and had demanded that Raiga-jisan give me any jobs that were a threat to the people because if they were it also meant that they were a threat for those that I loved.

Entering a nearby building I quickly went up a long set of stairs that took me straight to the top there I set up my equipment a long sniper rifle with a scope.

Aiming at the window building in front me where I could see at least twenty men from two different gangs doing a drug exchange deal without hesitation I shot both dealers in the head and proceeded to do the same for some of the men that didn't know where the shots were coming from.

However, some of them managed to quickly hide behind some walls I sighed flicking my cigarette on the ground. From the inner pocket of my coat, I pulled out a gun that had a claw on top of it a grapple gun that I had designed using alteration and structural analysis.

Aiming at the nearby window I shot it and let myself be pulled forward I broke through the glass landing a reinforced flying kick on one of the gang members to the throat.

"Shit it's the Taskmaster!!" shouted one of the gang members turning around I grabbed a calico m950 from my belt and started rapidly shooting all of them littering their bodies with bullets.

I swiftly turned putting the calico away watching as a tall gang member shouted, "get him!" three grunt members charged at me "Time Alter: Time Space" I chanted as the world around me slowed by times one.

I pulled out an origin bullet and shifted it into short blade I slashed the first guy's stomach apart watching as it ripped and tied itself back together into a tethered mess. Then I went forward to another that was just a few moments away from the first guy that I had slashed and swiftly broke his neck with a quick reinforced chop. Finally, the last guy I ended quickly by slashing his chest apart with quick consecutive strikes his death was just as gruesome as the firsts.

"Time Alter: 10 Second Release" I muttered waiting for my body to slowly adjust back to the normal flow of time.

Putting the blade away I turned my attention to the tall gang member that stepped forward "Tch fucking useless dumbass's can't even do something so simple fine I guess I'll just kill you myself," I say nothing but stare coldly like a machine.

He charged forward with a right hook punch that I quickly blocked with my hands and then I countered with a kick on his chest sending him back away from me.

I pulled out my calico and started shooting rapidly but the bastard was quick to hide behind a nearby wall letting out an annoyed tch I put the gun back in my coat.

The man came out from his hiding spot and tried landing a punch on my face to which I grabbed and snapped "Ahhhh!" he shouted as I aimed to punch him in his gut, but he faced through the pain leaning back to dodge the blow, but it didn't stop me from punching him multiple times in the face.

The man got back up with a growl and charged forward I grabbed my short blade from my coat spinning it around my hand and struck him near his vital spots all of which he blocked with the sides of his arms.

I released the blade in the air and punched him in the face before grabbing the blade midair rapidly stabbing him in the heart which was torn and tethered back together in a bloody mess.

The dying man barely had anytime to even scream from the pain as I swiftly pulled out a pistol and shot him in the head giving him a merciful death.

I huffed a bit putting both items back in the depths of coat I quickly called Raiga-jisan "Hello," he asked "the job's done ji-san," I informed causing the man to sigh "alright I'll transfer the money to your account...you know you really should spend more time with Shi-" I ended the call.

The past few years Raiga had been trying to convince me to at least spend more time with Shirou and everyone else not that I had a bad relationship with them it's just that I would rather spend my time training for the next threat that could come to the city.

I sighed thinking back to my recent argument with Shirou "...how troublesome," I muttered out loud and swiftly left the building ji-san could clean up the building I am not going to do it this time I thought making my way back home.

I faintly heard the sounds of Shirou shouting at Fuji-nee I waited for a bit before entering in "hn I am guessing the freeloader did something with the food judging by the expression on your face Shirou," I said in a light gentle cold tone.

"Where were you this time William?!" he asked as I shrugged "Oh you know around...you should probably hurry up school's going to be starting soon," I said while grabbing my school bag.

I was about to leave when Sakura came up to me with a bento "wait up William-senpai I-I made a bento box for you s-since you missed breakfast," she said I gave a nod "alright...thanks Sakura," I said taking the box slipping it inside my bag.

-end of chapter five-

Alright so here's chapter 5 part 1 before the holy grail war and lancer. You pretty much see how things have been for William and Shirou they still treat each other like brothers but they are often tense with each other because of some of the things that William does like smoking, ditching school, leaving home and coming back late but Shirou doesn't even know what William is really doing.
