*The same day*
You won't be hurt here," Shirou's voice was soothing as he gently rubbed Sakura's back. Her trembling voice betrayed her fear. She stammered, fearing the wrath of her formidable grandfather, who was a force to be reckoned with in their world. "But... my grandpa will... will kill you," Sakura managed to utter through her fear.
" He won't... Don't worry, he won't."
Shirou's response was calm and reassuring, just wanting to calm Sakura down.
Before long Sakura passed out crying...-Probably with her emotions overwhelming her and that curse affecting her...- Shirou quietly brings her to a room, next to his, and places her on the bed. And starts walking towards his shed... He needs to become stronger and hopefully... he will be able to use them...Kiritsugu's weapons. Walking into his shed Shirou picks up the book that Norikata wrote and the bag that was full of guns, explosives, knives, and other dangerous items inside of it...
*A forest near his house*
Shirou, at this moment is thankful that Kiritsugu bought a house far away from other civilizations, while it is troublesome to walk all that way into grocery shopping, it sure is helpful to learn how to use weapons from his cursed mother to fight a mage that will probably kill him....My life is fucked, isn't it?... ' Snap out of it Shirou you have to protect Sakura... After all it only take's 1 bullet to kill someone. ' Shirou thinks while opening the bag and pulling out a pistol. Structural grasping it he finds out it's called AMT Auto Mag III and uses .30 Carbine 9mm Winchester magnum ammo.
Quickly found the ammo in one of the bag's pockets. Shirou -with thanks to structural grasp- found out how to put in the clip and how to clock the gun and aims at a tree *Bang* ... and misses... Especially with his slightly shaken hands from structural grasp...
But not by far... he actually grazed the tree... he was expecting to do worse.... way worse... Why is he so goo.... Ah, did structural grasp help him?... I mean knowing how to use something means you are better at using it right ?
And structural grasping its History Shirou sees... it was never used just created, bought, stolen, and then bought by Kiritsugu.....
Alright...
So, Shirou grasps another gun and just sees that Kiritsugu just points and shoots at everything and it dies.... Ok, how do I learn to use a gu.... It's not possible, is it.... Shirou puts his hand into his pocket and brings out his... phone.... It's not like the government allows you to google how to use gu.... Never mind it does....
He doesn't know what to feel disappointment in society... or be thankful that it exists? you know since it's helping him.... You know what it doesn't matter....
After reading everything he found out that to use a pistol - for dummy's/starter's - is that : 1st you have to aim with your dominant eye instead of both eyes like he tried. 2nd Align the front and back sights, with the pictures on the phone he finds out what the sights are. 3rd Grip the gun on the back strap with your dominant hand which he did. 4th is a dumb mistake that almost everyone does on the first try and that is you have to squeeze the trigger or press it and not pull it.
Everything else matters is the experience of the user and the gun itself. So trying again Shirou this time aims with his dominant eye, aligns it with the sights, grips the strap with his dominant hand, and this time squeezes the trigger...*Bang* and hit the tree exactly where he wanted.... Exactly... even with his shaking hand's tho they did start to shake less....
Huh... that... was easier than expected... But before he becomes arrogant, he thinks that he's still no way close to the best... or nowhere close to his mother... He saw how easily Kiritsugu killed other magus thanks to their arrogance... He can't allow himself to die yet... he has to keep his promises...
Now... Should he try hitting his target while moving?.... No, I just said to not become arrogant... Arrogance is a sin also after all...
Huh, he expected that to hurt....
Like the blue letters appearing and glowing on his skin as he tries to push it back like earlier ?...
'Am I becoming a masochist?' Shirou thinks before quickly shrugging them off and retries the steps and shoots another tree *Bang* and hit exactly where he wanted...*Bang*....*Bang*...*Bang*.... They all landed exactly where he wanted....
Shirou wanting to push himself,
*Bang**Bang**Bang**Click*... 'Ah, right guns have a set amount of ammo....' Shirou thinks taking a look at his gun 'But...I really didn't miss once...' Shirou thinks looking at the tree with a perfect triangle etched into it....
'Maybe he should try hitting his target while moving' Shirou thinks while pulling out the empty clip and replaces it with a full one....'Wait if I run out of ammo how will I get more?' Shirou thinks realizing that his ammo is not infinite....Ok, he will have to use it sparingly.... why does this feel like Deja Vu?.... Doesn't matter let's try shooting a target while I'm moving... But how will I be able to set up a target that itself is moving....I will figure something out in the futu-!.
!!!
!!
!
Shirou stiffens immediately feeling immense anger out of nowhere... looking around he sees no one....Then from where he is feeling such anger and why? he only shot some tre.... Ah the Earth ! Gaia was watching him probably to see if he's dangerous since he absorbed a such dangerous curse that was even damaging her... And she just saw that him damaged her.... no matter how slightly....
'How do I fix this?' Shirou thinks before realizing... he caused the pain to the world... and he can absorb pain into himself... Can he heal others by absorbing their pain?.... Well, he has to try...
" 𝝞'𝝡 S𝝤ɌɌ𝝭 𝝩𝝜𝝚 Ѡ𝝤ɌⳐ𝝙.... 𝝖ⳐⳐ𝝤Ѡ 𝝡𝝚 𝝩𝝤 𝝖𝗖𝗖𝝚𝝦𝝩 𝝩𝝜𝝚 𝝦ꓦ𝝢𝝞S𝝜𝝡𝝚𝝢𝝩 ꓝ𝝤Ɍ 𝝙𝝖𝝡𝝖Ᏽ𝝞𝝢Ᏽ 𝝭𝝤ꓦ 𝝖𝝢𝝙 𝝭𝝤ꓦɌ Ѡ𝝤ɌⳐ𝝙... " Shirou tries... but it's taking too much energy.... It's actually the first time it's taking energy from him by absorbing pain.... Is it because I'm trying to heal something?
" Trace On " Shirou says creating one nerve circuit... But it's not enough he feels it... what can he... He can create more than one nerve circuit at a time right?... Right?.... Well, I guess it's time to experiment.... "Trace On" He repeats again, and he appears in his world again not seeing Avenger not too far from him.... And so, he adds more nerves onto the anvil and hits it with a hammer creating one more nerve circuit.... but it still is not enough so he creates another circuit.... and the strain on him decreases.... But still not enough and so finally he created his 4rth nerve circuit and finally he feels it..."Cough" Shirou coughs up blood.
Not only his arm's but his whole body shaking, as he closes his eyes in pain.
But wanting to see he struggles to keep them open.
Opening his eyes, he sees that the trees that he damaged seem to heal on their own...
' GAH ! '
Quickly looking down, he sees that there are holes in his body... And decay.... looking around again he sees the trees that were dead way earlier before he came here seem to be coming back to life.... Huh, that must be why it took him 4 nerve circuits to heal them, and his flesh is also decaying.
Should he be worried?... Probably no.... he feels it... the sheath is healing him at a really slow state...Why is it healing him? It didn't want to heal his mother so why did it want to heal him ?
He doesn't know but he says a quiet thank you.
"Trace off..." 'Well it looks like I won't be able to train in the forests anymore...' Shirou thinks... before a familiar voice interrupts him

Shirou didn't understand the most of what Gaia said but he got the message not to harm her and she seemed to thank him for healing some plants...
' What is the legal age to use a shooting range in Foyuki? ' Shirou thinks since he won't be using the forest anymore or any time soon...
*Shirou's home*
Shirou was able to get back home quickly and when he came back he immediately went to check on Sakura seeing that she was still sleeping... although sweating a lot... He immediately came to her.... And tried his new healing magecraft... well kinda healing... it's more like passing on the pain to him and damage to him... At least he doesn't feel pain anymore... It's not li.... Heheh... Shirou chuckles remembering not too long ago when he called himself was the one sacrificing now he's the sacrifice... It's actually pretty funny to him... Hilarious actually! Shirou laughs in his mind with an amused smile...But he quickly snaps out of it hearing Sakura moan...
And so Shirou quickly uses his new magecreaft and feels... lust?.... Lust is invading him...he...heehhehe...HHEHAAHHAEH Shirou starts laughing but instead of an amused smile, he gains a blood-thirsty grin and... One of his eyes glow red while the other cold steel... ' I WILL KILL THEM !!!' Shirou screams in his mind already thinking about what they have done to Sakura...
And then he feels it... Something is sucking off the.... Prana?... He never felt it before... but it feels like the combination of Sakuras od and... Gaia's od?.... Wait is Mana just Gaia's od?... It actually makes sense....Since Norikata wrote that Prana is created from your od and the mana around you... and what is always around you is the earth's life force... If human's life force can create od then why can't Gaias life force create od....
But... that mean... We're fucking leeches.... Were basically leaching of the planet's life force.. It's not surprising that magi are using the planets life force... after all humans leech out the earth's resources which is basically the body of Gaia.... He quickly comes back to his senses... he will tell the planet sorry later... Even if it won't do anything... He feel's that he should atleast apologise since he will be doing the same...
For now, he has to worry about Sakura... Something inside of her is sucking off her Prana...He was about to use structural grasp on her to find out what... but stops himself remembering her reaction earlier....He will wait until she tells him about it... But how can he pour mana into her?....
Maybe Avenger knows if not her then he can run to Kirei quickly....How do I go into my world actually?.... Trying to repeat the last time he went into his world 'Trace On' and he found himself in his world... with Avenger standing in front of him...."Hi?" Shirou said awkwardly, not expecting her so close. Avenger just smiled "Hello Shirou...It's mean to make a woman wait...".....What's that behind her?... Why is she so pissed?...
"It's also bad manners to ignore a woman..." The something behind her grew..."I'm sorry?" Shirou said not knowing what to do..."Fufufufu...It's okay Shirou..." Avenger said while laughing behind her hand the something behind her disappearing ...before "But... you should learn that women have to be respected and feared..." Avenger continued, the something glowing a bit before it completely disappeared. And Shirou agrees women should be feared....he saw what Kiritsugu and Kirei were able to do.
Wait!
" Do you know how to give someone Prana ?" Shirou asked Avenger who just looked at Shirou for a while before gaining a thoughtful expression "You should ask another magus... But I think your bodily fluid holds some Prana so you have to give her some..." Avenger said after a while making Shirou think she was talking about sex...He learned what it is on google..."And no I don't mean sex... I meant something like blood, spit, sweat, and things like that... Although sex would work also." Avenger explained to Shirou who nodded and was about to leave...
Blushing red not expecting her to realize what he was thinking.
Before realizing something "Are you ok here?" Shirou asked Avenger surprising her since she was the one who brought him to that hell, and he's worried for her making her guilty, but she crushes it...She couldn't take it....She couldn't take that hell anymore... Can you imagine what it feels like to feel death directly on your skin, rape, pain, greed, anger and all others....No one can hold it forever... "I'm sorry Shirou... I'm so sorry" She whisper's....
Shirou hearing her whisper but not hearing exactly what she said asks " What was that ? " Shirou
Before realizing he's wasting to much time and that Sakura is still hurting.
He has way too much to do! learning magecraft to heal Kiritsugu, The Earth breathing on his neck... maybe he shouldn't have helped it?.... But it was his responsibility.... Well too late now... A spirit inside of him who sent him to his 2nd hell... which he forgives..... And now to protect Sakura....
"I'm sorry Avenger I have to go help Sakura!" Shirou says making Avenger look down at him. Making him guilty with the tear marks on her face... How does a spirit even cry or gains tear marks doesn't matter.... "Time here moves differently.... I think you can make it move faster or slower here..." Avenger says while placing Shirou's head on her lap... "Let's stay like this for a while" Avenger said and Shirou says nothing enjoying the feeling of her lap....
*Hours in Shirou's soul while a minute in real life*
Getting back into the real world Shirou smells... which he still doesn't understand how...Sakura is losing her Prana... So, give her my blood?... Quickly running towards the kitchen and back he grabbed a knife and a cup. Shirou creates a few nerve circuits in his left hand and with a right one, cuts his left hand and lets the blood drip into the cup....He's not sacrificing Sakura to summon a demon right ? ... Well he has no reason to doubt Avenger.... except for the fact that she sent him to his 2nd hell.... He also has no reason to trust her..... Still, no time to doubt her.
Tilting Sakura's head up, Shirou brings the cup full of his blood -which he smells slight of something... he guessed Prana- and pores and he smells her Prana increase....and feels a glare appearing behind him... "Sorry? But I have to help her!" Shirou says out loud making the glare decrease slightly but still large at him... "If you need help in the future... call me?" Shirou said but was more like a question. But it did make Gaia to stop glaring at him...
Making him realize... he made a mistake....What will Earth as of him to help her....Hopefully to just take care of some plants... But before she left, which he doubts she will ever. He is a massive pile of curses "I'm also sorry for all the future people I know that use your od..." He feels her glare increase and then disappear....
Thinking that he can finally continue learning magecraft Shirou was about to go to his shed... before smelling someone at the front door..... he also felt that he's.... an asshole.... there's no other way to describe what his curses are telling him...An asshole is at his front door.... It's nowhere near the worst thing he said.... Wait?... Is being an asshole a sin? ... How does that work !?... Fuck it, doesn't matter.
Walking towards his front door, he opens it and sees a boy with curly blue hair and gray-blue eyes. Being so close to him now Shirou feels arrogance from him...He will not get along with him he can already tell..."Yes, who are you?" Shirou asked trying to be polite and the boy with a scowl said "My name is Shinji Matou... The sister of Sakura Matou... Is she here?"
The new named Shinji said and Shirou felt Shinji's anger when he said Sakura's name...."Yes, she's here..." Shirou said looking at Shinji whose scowl turned into an arrogant smile "Great. Can you get her for me?" Shinji commands him. Shirou smiles at Shinji with closed eyes "Can you tell me why she's hurt ?" Shinji looked looked shocked
"What?! How did you find out ?!" Shinji realized his mistake instantly when Shirou opens his eyes... and he swears he saw his grandfather in place of this red-headed boy...Looking down at him considering if he's worth keeping alive.... "Fuck off..." Shirou said staring at him not knowing that his left eye glowed slightly red while his right one glowed in a silver color..."W-What?" Shinji asked but already getting ready to run... Shirou brings his head forward glaring at Shinji with a smile... a terrifying smile scaring the shit out of Shinji and making it run away.... "I said.... Fuck..." Shirou's smile grows with eyes glowing more "Off....." Shirou finished with a dark voice...
Terrified, Shinji made a hasty retreat, dashing away faster than he ever had before. As Shirou watched him vanish into the distance glaring at hu
Before turning around and walking to his shed....
