Chapter 4 - Moonlit World

It is not the end of our respective path that defines us. Instead, it is the actions we do to reach it that count.

Eva

??????? ?? ?????

It had already been sometime since Shiro started living with Kiritsugu and it had been obvious that Kiritsugu was trying his best to be a good father and it wasn't like his efforts were fruitless Shiro liked his presence and as for the occasional dead atmosphere in the house. He had Eva to talk to who somehow always seemed to lighten his mood and bring a smile to his face no matter how much the fire had influenced him.

He had also met a friend of his father's who lived right next door, an old man called Raiga Fujimura he seemed like a nice person and treated Shiro kindly but before Shiro met Raiga he actually met his granddaughter Taiga Fujimura first and their first meeting was.....unique in its own way.

Taiga was a brown haired young woman who came to the house and the first one she met was Shiro and let's say her expression was very funny(What Eva said) when hearing he was Kiritsugu's son, turns out she took private English lessons from Kiritsugu to improve her English so she can become an English teacher.

At first their relationship was somewhat messy but after Taiga challenged him to a kendo match their relationship started taking a turn for the better, Oh no Shiro didn't win against Taiga instead she was impressed by his talent, turns out she was quite the simple minded person since all it took was a kendo match to fix their relationship.

Really Simple minded.

-Afterword-

In the living room of Emiya hosehold.

Taiga: Hey Shiro have you seen Kerry!

Shiro: I Don't know Tig...I mean Fuji-nee! the repairs to the house are done so perhaps he's thanking Raiga Jii-san for the help he sended.

After sending Shiro a glare for "almost" calling her by that acursed nickname "Tiger" she dismissed it and left.

In front of Shiro sitting on the opposite couch was a woman, she had long black hair reaching her waist, a beautiful face with yellow eyes that glow with a mixture of Playfulness, wisdom and suprising Power, Her body was perfect, all proportions in the right places and even her simplest movements were with such Grace that people might mistake her for a princess or perhaps a "Queen"

It is also because of these qualities that people mistake her for a Goddess both in literal and spiritual sense, that having thoughts about her much less impure ones were a sin, a total blasphemy.

Shiro on the other hand did not feel any unique type of respect for Eva, yes he did respect her but not for her looks or the feeling she gave off but because of her help in the fire and the support she has been giving him afterwards which Shiro is grateful of or who knows what damage his personality would have been afflicted and unknowingly in this short time period Eva had already become an emotional pillar for him which he could always confide in all times without hesitation.

So Shiro did not look at Eva the normal way other people would.

One more thing Shiro found about Eva was that she was not "Normal"...well perhaps having a voice talking to you in your head wouldn't be normal an example of her power was now. Even though Taiga had come in the Living room she only saw Shiro since Eva was able to take an illusionary/Translucent form to manifest in the real world and beside Shiro no one could she her or perhaps others can if she allows them but aside from Shiro she could not touch anything else or that's what Shiro thinks.

She had already told Shiro that she will act as a Guide or Guardian to Shiro to help him, on what she didn't specify nor told and Shiro didn't pry for he trusted Eva no matter the limited amount of time they spent together.

Eva: Well Shiro I am about to explain to you about the Moonlit World.

Shiro:.....Moon...world? like on the moon?

Shiro was confused so he could only give a naive answer, which Prompted Eva to giggle at his cute reply. Eva disappeared and reappeared on the side of Shiro, she gently cupped Shiro's face and brought it to her ŀȧp and started tenderly rubbing his head.

Eva: No silly, not the "The Moon world", Moonlit world. It is a side of the world hidden from normal people where all magical things of the world reside in short it's the place where the Mages reside.

Shiro eyes widened but he didn't get up and enjoyed the ċȧrėssing.

Shiro: But why are you telling me this?

Eva gave Shiro a flat look.

Eva: you young man have been thinking about Magus and Magic ever since you left the hospital after Kiritsugu little "reveal".

Shiro: How did you!??

Eva: Your like a open book remember (Smile)

Shiro was feeling very indignant he couldn't be that bad at lying right?

Eva: Now Shiro the reason I am telling you this is because you will have to protect yourself in this world believe it or not you are a bit "unique" and because of your uniqueness other Magus from all over the world might come to kidnap you, even if they don't know, if they find out you are related to Kiritsugu they might come to harm you.

Eva: You'll eventually know why in the future for now you will start training as a Magus and other studies to atleast give you some form of protection if by chance I or Kiritsugu aren't with you, this might also give you time to think what you want to do in the future.

Shiro didn't think much.

Shiro: I'll trust you, so when do we begin! (Excited)

Eva: It's good you're motivated for you'll need it in your studies by don't misunderstand I won't be the one to teach you, well not my main art perhaps in the future but I will give you advice and tips while you train with the others.

Shiro was a bit dejected Eva's abillities were very cool, but he soon lightened up if it's people Eva recommended then they would be cool as well.

Eva: We'll start in the night when everyone is asleep for now let's get dinner ready (Smile)

Shiro smiled and couldn't wait but he had to get dinner ready since Kiritsugu didn't know how to cook, he basically burned everything even water (A/N How is that even possible) Eva on the other hand had a lot of tips about cooking that coupled with his natural talent in cooking made the kitchen, Shiro's personal domain.

As for Taiga and her cooking.....*Shiver*

He still remembers that day the egg dish looked perfectly normal but Eva frantically warned him not to eat it, Kiritsugu was not so lucky.
