Chapter 3

#3) Oh No It's Started

Vanitas looked at his book as it flipped violently before settling down. "Why?!" He calmed himself down. "No, as long as I don't get involved I won't have to do anything and I can keep on living a normal peaceful life."

He rolled on the couch a few times before hearing his belly rumble for food. "Really?" He pat his stomach a few times before grabbing his wallet and heading out into the moonlit night. The night was peaceful, so calm and the street lights provided the only source of light as if the whole night was a beautiful artwork.

He decided to head out to the convenience store but as if a stroke of fate he somehow met the one person he did not want to deal with. Yet on the other hand his lovely cute kohai was there. He sighed as he quickly bounded over "Oh Sakura-chan! is this man giving you trouble?" Sakura turned around when she heard the all too familiar joyful voice of her senpai. Her gloomy mood instantly rose when she saw the familiar eyes of her senpai.

Vanitas' eyes shone in the dark with the light of a blue moon as he pranced over there before patting her on the head.

The dark night was only lit by the dim beams of light from the streetlights as the atmosphere was gloomy. Several dust particles filtered in and out of the lights making them dance like small fairies.

Gilgamesh looked at the boy in disgust as he kept it in.

"This man didn't do anything did he?" Sakura shook her head as she shyly looked at the ground. He looked at Gilgamesh before bowing "Well I'll get going and taking my lovely kohai back."

Gilgamesh was about to say something only to be frozen in the fact that he was sucked into the boy's pace. He looked at the boy who was walking and chatting with the filthy lesser grail. That boy was something special.

Sakura looked at him before whispering "Thank you senpai." The familiar comforting hand found its way onto her head again before he asked "I was heading to the convenience store, you want to come? My treat."

Sakura nodded before following Vanitas over to the nearest 7/11 store. They eventually found their way to a bench as they ate. "So what did that man say to you?" Sakura stopped chewing as her mood began to plummet.

Vanitas saw this and decided to go for another approach of help. He pat her on the head before standing up. "Well just remember that if you ever need help just call for it. I'll be there. Now let's get you back home."

He would rather not but that'd result in something far worse for Sakura.

He eventually found their house after directions came from Sakura. Her grandfather was waiting there as he waved at the man. He kept his usual smile and cheerfulness despite wanting to tear the man in front of her apart.

"Well have a good night gramps. Be careful don't let the bed bugs bite Sakura!" Sakura nodded as her face slowly morphed into one of sadness before entering the house.

He arrived at school the next day with his usual joyful face only to discover that the blood fort was already in progress. He sighed "I just have to make it past a few more days until the school becomes irrelevant I think?"

He got out of the school at night only to realise "OH WHY!?" He saw Emiya running in the other direction while Lancer was looking right at him. Rin and Archer both looked at him in shock until he turned right around and started running.

"Oh hell no! I just wanted to live a peaceful life! Why is my luck acting up now!" Rin looked at the running Vanitas and then the missing Lancer. Vanitas turned around to see no lancer before sighing and heading back to grab his stuff.

Rin and Archer exited the building after healing Emiya. Lancer looked around and found the other boy back in the same spot and grabbing his stuff? "What type of idiot is that?"

He rushed forwards as both Rin and Tohsaka watched as the spear pierced his chest. Lancer looked at the boy who was bleeding out.

Vanitas sighed, he had created this skill in emergency purposes just like this.

[Injury Reversal]

Lancer watched as the boy stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes and tightening the gloves before all the blood and mess disappeared. He looked around the field as he sighed "Looks like I'll have to fix this as well."

He pulled out his book as the chains rattled. Everyone felt immense power emanating from the book. The clockwork piece shifted out of the socket locking the book as the gem on the latch shone before the book fluttered open.

A huge amount of power gathered as the book lit up with numerous small lines as the flooded out of the book like constellations before lighting up and shifting the ground back into its original form.

He then walked off leaving Lancer frozen in his thoughts "Please don't follow me. If you do your officially on my list of people I hate!"

Rin shouted at him "Wait! Who are you really?"

He turned around as the moonlight shone on him.

"I'm Vanitas, nice to meet you."

The chains rattled as the book found itself on his hip again as he slowly walked back home.

Rin looked at Archer "He's definitely not normal, but he doesn't seem like a master either."

Vanitas flopped onto his bed as he yelled "GOODBYE MY PEACEFUL LIFE!"
