While Shirou was at school I normally spent my time either on the roof, cleaning up the house, training or even sometimes I headed into the town to shop or head to the highest skyscraper to watch over the town. Lately I had been feeling mana fluctuating around town, six sources to be exact. Meaning that already six masters had been chosen but there was something strange. One of the influxes just as it went strong it went dim then another one grew larger making me a little curious over it not that I showed it. 

Today while Shirou was at school I decided to find the influx that went dim. When I got there it was not what I expected but I reacted instantly. It was a woman that seemed to be in critical condition but since I found her it would be fine since I could treat her now. Wrapping the wounds up including a weird burn on the back of her hand showing her command seals had been ripped off her.
"W-W-Who" the woman whispered.
"Shut up woman, be lucky I am wasting my time on saving a filthy mongrel but something tells me that you will be important. I am only going to patch you up enough to make sure that you aren't going to die, the rest of it you will take care of yourself. I will also be taking you to a place where the other masters and servants can't get to you" I told her.
"Not the....no church" the woman pleaded.
"I would think not after what happened in the last war" I huffed as I grabbed the woman after bandaging her up. 

I took her to a hotel room and paid for a suite for her and laid down on the bed.
"Bazett...it's my name" she whispered.
"Keep in mind woman, that I never do anything for free so now you owe me something. One day I will collect on that but for now rest and get better, also stay out of this war" I warned her as I left. Having this woman owe me a favour was good, from the feeling she gave off she was a powerful mage so it might help if either myself or Shirou get pulled into the grail war. Sure both of us were powerful and anyone would have a hard time to battle us but it was always good to either have human shields or people that you could sacrifice. 

When I got home again I realised that Shirou wasn't back so I decided to clean up the dojo a little.
"Tch that boy, when he gets home he is going to be in for it" I said, seeing that he had left Excalibur leaning against the dining room wall. Walking to the kitchen I made a sandwich for lunch. Once I finished lunch I realised that we were starting to run low or completely out of some ingredients and spices. Quickly making a list in my head about what I would need to buy before heading towards the market. Instead of paying rent I took care of making sure that the kitchen was stocked and because I did most of the cleaning I made sure to have all the cleaning products I needed as well.
"Well, well, well looking fine baby" a man smirked as he tried to slap my ass. My hand shot out and grabbed his arm tightly and glared at him.
"Who do you think you are trying to touch mongrel, you aren't even worthy to look at me let alone touch me so go away like the fool you are" I snapped before turning and leaving him standing there in shock not that I cared really. 

After I finished getting all the stuff I needed I headed back home seeing that it was getting dark.
"What do you mean enemies outside?" I heard Shirou yell as I turned the corner and saw what was going on. A dark skinned, silver haired man was standing there with two blades, the married blades to be exact and there was a girl behind him while in front was a woman with blonde hair and armour. As I took a step my normal clothes turned into my golden armour. I instantly opened up eight gates of Babylon and shot out swords at the two servants, two to each of them making it so that they couldn't move them.
"What is such filth doing in front of our house, Shirou?" I questioned looking at him one portal open and ready for me to get durandal out in case I needed to kill these mongrels.
"Hold on a moment, we don't need to fight, they aren't a threat to us. If we could just go inside then I can explain everything" Shirou said and I looked at him before studying his face and moving on to the blood stained shirt.
"Very well we may go inside but if they make one wrong move it will be there last, I finished shopping as well" I warned Shirou as I walked towards the door.
"Gilgamesh what are you doing here?" the blonde haired woman snarled and I turned with a sneer.
"Watch your tongue mongrel, just because you seem to be friends with Shirou does not mean anything for me" I told her as I walked into the building.
"Um Saber, that isn't Gilgamesh, her name is Angelica Ainsworth and she is my teacher and lives with me. She may seem mean but really she isn't that bad, she just doesn't like strangers" Shirou explained as they walked into the building.
