The only thing I know about magic is how to reinforce things. It's been a long time since I last practiced this magic, as I didn't have much training to do after the death of my father. Making use of this power is kinda useful sometimes. I get to reinforce broken things to make it better. For example I could just make a short-circuited lamp back to life. But sometimes, it can be a little annoying, because if I give it too much power, it'll just burn off. After refreshing my mind about my ability, I went to my room to take a break. I looked at my table and saw the three cards. I took one of it and said, "Don't worry. I'll be fine for now." It didn't glow or gave a response or something. So I guess it has already settled down. After taking a good nap, I woke up feeling so refreshed. I went to the living room, and caught something at the corner of my eye. I saw a note on the table saying, " I'll be back in a while. For the time being, take care. Kazuya."

"He must've been dead bored. Heheh," I said to myself.

I was feeling a little happy, when I felt my chest started to hurt again. It was the same sensation like yesterday. I went out to get some fresh air. But what a grave mistake I made. There he was. Standing right before me with a sword in his hand. I was trapped.

"Heh. I finallly got you now. Now, no one can hear you scream. I'm gonna make this an instant death. Surprisingly I get to kill the same person twice," the mysterious man said.

He said he was going to KILL me? SHIT! What am I suppose to do now? The only thing I can think of doing now is to delay his time and think of a way out of here.

"What do you want from me? And who are you?" I asked.

"Buster, they call me. By just listening or understanding my name, I think you already know what it means. Eh? I BUST any new Masters around. And of course, the naive ones and the TO BE ones like you."

I knew I had to do something, so without hesitating, I dashed away and toward the store room just a few steps, to grab something I can use as a weapon.

"You'll never learn boy!"

"Aghh!"

He kicked me like I was a football ball. I hit the ground.

"Huh? This is.."

"Hmph, who knows, you might be the lucky one to be saved now. But I guess, it's just a little too late."

I looked at the ground and saw a shape like a portal.

"Say goodnight BOY! HAHHHH!!"

I felt something or someone was standing in front of me. I could see the shadow, but I couldn't see who it was.

"Kazuya?" I whispered to myself.

"Hmph.. Guess you're not alright after all, are you, Master?"

I opened my eyes and I saw a man in red with two blades in his hands. And I could see Buster backing off.

"You won't get far!" the man in red said.

"W..Wait!" I called out to him.

There was a fight going on in front of my house. Luckily no one passed by, or else that person would have gotten killed in this ferocious battle. And I remembered that Kazuya had already set up a sound-proof force field so that in case of any unsespecting battles, no one will be able to hear.

"So, you're the boy's Servant I bet!"

"Chh.. What else would I do to back you off? Hahh!"

Buster was conered. But he wasn't going to give up so soon.

"Hah! You won't get away with this! Weapon change!" Buster yelled out with pride.

Now Buster had two guns instead of one sword.

"Sacred Ammos!" Buster yelled out.

"AH!" The guy in red was being shot, nearly.

Buster got up and said, " Hmph. It's no point for us to be fighting anymore, FOR NOW. Since you manage to dodge THAT."

"Hey! Come back here you coward!"

"My Master told me to retreat if my last hit missed. So, I am heading back now. FOR NOW, you can just sit back and wait for the next arrival, Archer," Buster jumped away and backed off.

"Are you alright?" He wasn't really injured or hurt. He looked like he was barely even scratched.

"I'm alright. Hmm...you seem to have guts, Master."

"Huh? Wha~? Master?"I asked him. Then I saw the scratch on his shoulder that was being shot by Buster was healing by its own.

"You summoned me. So therefore, I am your Servant from now on. Servant Archer."

It felt like I was being struck by lightning. I am a Master now? Whoa!

"Oh, erm..I'm Daisuke. Daisuke Kimihiro. You can call me Daisuke instead of Master."

"Hnn.. If it's an order, then I will." He gave me a nod and suddenly he vanished. But I could hear him talking.

"Right now, I'm in spiritual form. If you need my assistance, just call me. I will be protecting you, Daisuke."

I smiled to myself and answered, "Yeah. OK. I will."

Chapter Two: The Beginning of Every Moment.

TWO

"So, you finally woke up buddy." The voice sounded familiar. *grunt*. I opened my eyes lazily and was surprised to see it was Kazuya.
"How are you feeling? Any better?"

I got up and saw my body being bandaged.

"I...I...am feeling a little better now. But how did you..."

"It is a long story. I'll tell you after breakfast."

He got up and manage his way to the living room.

"Wait a minute. What day's today? Oh, no wonder! It's Saturday."

I got dressed and head to the living room slowly. Surprisingly, breakfast was being prepared already. Usually I prepare most of my meals since my dad passed away 5 years ago. But during the weekends, Kazuya comes to my house to help me out with some stuffs like homework and housework.

"So, you remembered anything last night?"

I stared at him, giving him a frown.

"I was being attacked by someone. Then I almost got killed. Later, I saw someone approaching with a lance. Not to mention, one of my cards were glowing befored I was being attacked."

Kazuya gave a really heavy sigh and said, " Yare yare. You almost died last night. OK. I'll tell you what really happened last night."

"Huh?"

"Last night....(flashback) after I left you at the junction, you walked yourself back home, right?"

"Yeah."

"That was when I felt that the air tasted sweet. So, I ran after you. Suddenly, I saw someone, faster than me, chasing after you."
****************************************************************************
(Flashback)

"Darn! This is not good. I guess I'll need your help, Lancer."

"Sure do!"

"Go! Quick. I'm counting on you."

****************************************************************************
"When Lancer reached your place, I saw you on the ground. Lancer managed to fend him off. So, then I carried you into the house. Since you got hit last night I noticed your wound wasn't as serious as I thought it would be. I thought you'll have a big hole between your abdomen. Maybe you have a 'Self Curing' ability. At least that was what I thought."

"WHAT!?"

"But in order to have that kind of ability, you must've been or have a magic mark or a high rank Magician. Because there is no other possibility for your wound to heal up so fast in just one night."

"OK.....tell me about this magic mark and high rank Magician later. But I want to know who is this Lancer you're talking about."

Kazuya rolled his eyes and said, "I knew you'll ask me that. Sigh..Lancer."

Suddenly, a man in blue appeared behind him with a long red lance. Then I remembered from last night's incident. It was this lance that I saw last night.

"This is Lancer. He is one of the heroic souls that I have summoned and is living in this world now. He is from the 'Lancer class', and one of the Royal Knights."

I couldn't believe what I saw. It was like a dream I was being saved by a Knight.

"So this means...." I stammered.

"This means, I too had one of the cards. I was apparently chosen to be a Master of a Servant. And the other day you told me you had the cards, I was feeling a little worried there. I told you not to bother it, but I was wrong."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that you are also chosen to be a Master. Your card was glowing, wasn't it? It means that an enemy is approaching. So here I am today, in your house. As a Master, I will be with you for a while,until you summon your first Servant. Lancer here, will be helping out too, right? And I'll set up a force field around your house"

"Thanks, man"

Kazuya smiled and went off with Lancer.

(continue from chapter one)

A few days ago, I was walking back home alone. Usually my friends would accompany me back, since our houses are quite close to each other, but it so happened that they had an occasion going on. So they had to discuss about things they had to do. While walking back home, I saw a mysterious person. I couldn't see his face clearly, as it was dark. He walked pass by me and said,"You're NOT alone." I froze and turned back, but when I turned back, he was gone. I thought I was hallucinating. When I reached home, I was surprised to see three weird looking play cards in my pocket. One of the three cards mentioned 'Saber class', the other 'Archer class', and the last one 'Dark Knight class'. There was also a piece of paper saying, "Summon them while you can." I was as cold as ice. I was shaking in fear. I was driven into oblivion. It ended with a red colored ink saying,"The Battle is ON!"

I decided to tell Kazuya everything. After all, I needed to tell at least to SOMEONE. He wasn't sure what I was saying, by just looking at his expression.

"You know, I think it's best for you to look at the cards thoroughly. It might contain something else. And don't worry about it. You'll be fine. Don't think too much about that guy. Maybe he's trying to scare you.Oh, and I'll follow you back home tonight."

Kazuya was always there for me. When I'm alone at home, he'll just give me a call and he'll be in front of my door house in a flash. And for what he said today, I wished I could believe that. I have a bad feeling about this.

Kazuya accompanied me back home that night. After we reached the junction, I felt much better. I felt confident that everything will be fine tonight. When I reached home, I felt something wasn't right. My chest started to hurt. When I looked up, I saw a figure on my roof. I quickly rushed into the house and into my room.

"What the heck was that?"

I was too afraid to move. I put my bag on my study chair, and I saw one of the cards were glowing. The Archer class play card was glowing red.

"It's trying to tell me something," I thought.

Suddenly, I heard a thud on the roof. When I went out of the house to check, there was nothing there. I felt relieved for a while. Later did I noticed there was a shadow behind me. Shocked, I quickly ran. It was holding a sword like weapon. But befored I could reach out for the door, he pierced me from the back through my abdomen. After that, I wasn't sure whether I would live or not. Moments later, I noticed another person approaching. He managed to fend the assassin off using a long lance.

"Daisuke.....!"

I passed out.

Chapter One: Dreams That Are Hard To Believe

ONE

Staring at the blackboard, I couldn't stop thinking about what I should do after school. It's half past noon and another fifteen minutes I've got to go. After listening to the tapping of the chalk being tapped by the teacher on the blackboard, the bell finally rang.
" Hey! Daisuke! Wanna have lunch together? It's my treat."

"Err, sure. Will meet you in the canteen."

"Kay.. Oh, yeah one word, be careful when you walk alone. You're not alone. Heh..Bye!"

"Will do."

I knew what Kazuya meant. Sigh. It's like a daily routine.

Here goes...

*Screaming*

"Daisuke-senpai! WE LOVE YOU, SENPAI!!"

Sheesh, the girls were creeping me out. Every single day in school, the deafening voices of their screaming made me go crazy. There were signboards saying, 'Daisuke Ayasaki, Senior of Kuzuki High and the one and only STAR of the school'. Even the seventh graders are involved in this hectic commotion. I just can't believe it! After I made my way through the crowd, I finally made it to the canteen. Kazuya had already started his meal with his ordinary obento.

" So how did it go? They still screaming? " he said with a grinning face. I gave a heavy sigh.

" Everything was fine. As usual. They're just.....as usual. "
I can't seem to put everything i was thinking into my own words.

"Hmph..So, what's bugging you nowadays? I notice you've been worried all this while. What's wrong? "

When he asked me that question, I began to remember what happened a few days ago.

" Well, it's quite hard to explain, as I THINK you might not be able to understand the situation. It's a little complicating," I said while taking my lunch ( Kazuya kindly bought for me ).

" Well, you see....."

Fate/Stay Night : Rise of The Shadows

Before I start my story, I would like to give a short synopsis about the story I wrote last year (2008). I got my ideas from the original Fate/Stay Night anime by Type Moon. I really admire their storyline, characters, and the plot of the story. So, in conjunction to that, I have created my own story about Fate/Stay Night : Rise of The Shadows or more like a Fate/Stay Night FanFiction. The characters are slightly the same as the original anime, but I have changed their names. The Servants are the same just that i included a few new Servants. So this story is about:

Daisuke Ayasaki, a normal high school student of Kuzuki high, was dragged into the war of the very few CHOSEN Masters. Later did he know, that this is no original war among Elite Magicians, but a war among ELITE DARK SERVANTS and their Masters. So, Daisuke and his friend Kazuya, will fight for their lives from these Servants. And in order to that, they will have to summon THEIR OWN Servants. Protecting everyone from these Servants is not an easy job. So they will have to recruit more people to join the fight among the DARK SERVANTS.

So, that's half of the synopsis of this story. I do hope you will enjoy reading it. I will TRY to post chapter by chapter. I MIGHT not be able to post everyday, because I'm not done with this story yet. I might need some time to do some editting. So ENJOY reading my Fate/Stay Night : Rise of The Shadows FanFiction.

(special thanks to Type Moon and Fate Project! I admire the way you guys did the Fate Stay Night anime....^^ so I got a few ideas..and here it is...LOL!! TQ!!!)
