The Masters of Remnant [Discontinued]

Experience and Luck

Shirou'sPOV

I was standing in front of the doorway to the outside world. I was still wearing my pajamas a top with grey jeans. Yang and Tai were with me waving Ruby, Rin and Muramasa goodbye. They were going to Haven academy in Mistral as that was the most likely place that Avenger's side would attack.

I wanted to go but was 'convinced' other wise (they had Muramasa kick his butt into submission). So the six of them left, the three members of JNPR, Ruby and Rin and her servant. Even though I didn't like the idea of staying, I felt at ease knowing that Muramasa was going with them. As they went off, Ruby turned back and shouted to me.

Ruby: Hey Shirou! Coco and Velvet said they'd come visit! So say hi to them for me!

The girl's father turned to me with confusion, hoping for me answer. In the corner of my eyes I swear I could see Yang smugly smile at my situation. I forgot that Tai didn't know about the whole 'sharing' agreement that the girls had with me.

Tai: Are those two friends of Ruby?

Shirou: Yeah they are friends with Ruby. They are second years.

Yang: (playfully) Oh Shirou, I think your forgetting a little bit of information.

Shirou: I got think he needs doesn't need know about that.

Tai: about what?

Yang: You see their also Shirou's-

Shirou: Yang. Could you please not.

Surprisingly and uncharacteristically Yang shut her mouth and stopped talking. She nodded and headed inside. Tai and myself look at her leave and then look at each other in concern.

Tai: Go on Shirou. You might as well let me. Or else I'll ask Qrow.

Shirou: We I'd rather you hear it from me than Qrow. Coco and Velvet are also my girlfriends.

Tai:...

Shirou: Tai? Before you get mad, they all know, and it was an agreement between the four of them.

Tai: Four?

Shirou: Rin is also in this.

I stared at him, preparing to defend myself or start to run away. But he didn't do anything. He grabbed me by the shoulder and looked at me.

Tai: Shirou just promise me you'll treat her alright. And be careful, that is a risky life style.

Shirou: (thought) my hips would agree with you but I'm not telling you that.

Shirou: I will, I promise you Tai, I won't let her down.

Tai: how good are you at keeping promises?

Shirou: with my track record, I'd say 98%.

Tai: what. When did you fail?

Shirou: I failed Jaune, I promised him that Pyrrha Nikos would make the right choice and reject Ozpin's offer but instead I encouraged her.

I felt so guilty knowing that her death could have been avoided if she just said no and walked away. But she must have had her reason to run to the tower that night. I must have made a gloomy face because Tai got concerned.

Tai: Hey, are you alright Shirou? You seem a little down. If your blaming yourself for her death, Then you shouldn't.

Shirou: I guess your right.

Yang: (inside) Hey dad where did you put controller. I want to watch TV.

Tai: (to Yang) Isn't it on the table where I left it! (To Shirou) well I guess I'll have to lend her a hand.
