"Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!" I was panicking, I couldn't even breathe, but I remained in place just so I could keep my eyes on her.

Her. Ryougi Shiki. The [Monster] among many other titles.

Too many titles for my liking.

How the fuck is she even here!? Also, shouldn't she be a teenager since her story takes place in the mid-90s and NOT in Fuyuki right now!?

"What the actual fuck, man!? Seriously, What the fuck!?" I was hyperventilating.

"Theo, calm down!" Illya exclaims, trying her best to calm her little brother down.

Shirou tilts his head. "What does fuck mean?"

"Calm yourself, boy. You are making us look bad." Khonshu demands. "You're acting like this is your first time meeting a monster."

'How the fuck am I supposed to calm down!? That's Ryougi Shiki! You know, the girl who can kill LITERALLY anything with just a simple knife!?' I screamed out.

"But she doesn't have that power yet, you dolt. She is still a mere child." Khonshu states.

My eyes widened in realization. '... oh, you're right.' But as soon as I calm down, I get kicked from behind. "WHAT THE HELL!?"

"What were you thinking!?" Illya screamed. "Yelling out bad words like that!? Look at what you did to Shirou-kun!" She points to Shirou.

"Seriously, what does fuck mean?" Shirou asked.

"You see!? You destroyed poor Shirou-kun's innocence! Stupid otōto!" Illya proceeds to hit me over and over with her magically reinforced fist.

"Ow, ow, ow!" I moan from the throbbing pain in my head.

Shiki giggles at the scene. "You guys are so funny."

Illya's attention quickly shifts and bows to Shiki. "I am so sorry for my otōto's behavior! He doesn't know any better!"

"You're one to talk... guerilla hands." I mutter before getting smacked again.

"Be quiet!"

Shiki laughs harder. "You two are just hilarious! You sure have some interesting friends, Shirou."

"They're not usually like this." Shirou embarrassingly comments.

"Though I am more surprised he knows grown-up words like that." Shiki comments before walking towards the boy. "Hey, you good lil guy?"

My head snapped up as I met Shiki's gaze. Ruby met onyx as time seemingly stands still. Neither of the children moved as the winter wind passed the group by.

"Yeah..." I mutter hesitantly as I get my bearings.

"Good. Here." She extends her hand to me.

I stare at the hand before grabbing it and, in a quick motion, pull me back up.

"My name's Ryougi Shiki, but you can just call me Shiki." Shiki said.

"Theodore von Einzbern." I replied.

"That's too long. I'll just call you Theo." Shiki states.

"O-Okay, Shiki-san." I said, still a little anxious.

Illya suddenly gets between us. "Hi, I'm Illya! Nice to meet you!"

A smile grows on Shiki's face. "Aw, you're so cute!" She tackles Illya into a hug. "Why didn't you tell she was so cute, Shirou-kun?"
