Kuro's P.O.V

I was tongue kissing Illya behind the school to gain mana but I didn't let Illya flee. Illya knew it was just a favor I asked her to do and she did it.

"Thanks, Illya." I said, smiling.

"Anytime, Kuro." Illya said, heavy breathing after the tongue kiss.

Riley suddenly appears.

"Kuro? What are YOU doing here?" Riley said, confused and disgusted.

I passed Riley by.

"That's not your business." I said walking and Illya followed.

Riley grabbed my arm.

"If you're trying to gain mana by kissing your friends..." Riley said.

"How did you find out so quickly?" I said, suspiciously.

"Let's just say, I can tell what you're thinking with your emotions." Riley said.

I looked at my arm.

"...Could you let go of my arm?" I said.

"Why should it?" Riley said.

"Rrrg, let go!" I said, struggling to get my arm free.

Riley groaned.

I slapped Riley.

Illya gasped.

"We'll settle this later, bastard." Riley said, weakly, with her hand on her cheek.

"Hey, stop fighting!" Illya said, but me and Riley didn't hear.

"I'll beat you in our next encounter!" I said.

"No, you will not!" Illya yelled out.

Illya grabbed my arm.

"Let's go!" Illya said angrily while dragging me away from Riley.

Riley looked at me in a suspicious way.

Later...

"Hey, Kuro?" Illya asked.

"Yeah, Illya?" I said.

"What's with you and Riley?" Illya said.

"...She knows so much. I fear she might use her knowledge as an advantage to kill me." I said.

"Kill you? What do you-?" Illya said.

I nodded.

"...No! We're not gonna have another Holy Grail War! You guys need to get along as friends!" Illya said.

"What if we can't, Illya? What if there isn't any other choice?" I asked.

"Then, you guys need to have a talk!" Illya said.

"Illya. We can't. You just need to stick this one out." I said.

Illya groaned.

"Wait. Maybe she doesn't want to fight! Maybe she just wants to talk!" Illya said.

"Illya, do you know what the Holy Grail War even IS?" I asked.

"It's a war between Class Cards." Illya said.

"You know who won the war last time?" I said.

"Saber. Cause I helped her." Illya said.

"You did?!" I said, shocked.

"Yeah, I made her human and I gave her golden power." Illya said.

"You did?! D-Do you still have the power to do that?!" I said.

"I lost those powers." Illya said.

I sighed.

"I'm gonna go fight her." I said.

Illya groaned.

Later at night...

Riley was sitting in a bench in a forest.

I found Riley.

"What are you doing here?" Riley asked.

"Same question goes for you." I said.

"Just taking a break from everything..." Riley said.

I sat down in the bench.

"Isn't the night peaceful? People are sleeping, no sound, only the trees' leaves make a rustling sound. For all nighters, the night is great to cause a racket. Wouldn't you agree?" Riley said.

I raised an eyebrow.

I was reaching for my bow with my right hand. I grabbed my bow.

"It's better than daytime, at least. Too much light--and it's what you'll be seeing!" I said, taking out my bow and about to kill Riley.

Riley blocked my attack with her Excalibur.

Riley smiled.

"I'm surprised you remember that we scheduled a fight." Riley said.

Riley broke the bench and pushed it aside while blocking.

Riley and I jumped backwards.

Riley and I ran towards.

I made two swords appear.

Riley and I clashed. And kept on clashing.

"I'm impressed! The way you fight is swiftingly nice! But you lack strenght and that's what you need." Riley said while blocking every single attack I kept throwing at her.

"I'll make you eat those words!" I said while clashing.

We kept clashing.

Illya heard a thud from her house and knew we were fighting.

Illya looked down sadly.

Her phone rang.

"Miyu?" Illya looked at the caller's name.

Illya picked up.

"Hello?" Illya said.

"It's never too late to do the right thing Illya. Stop them." Miyu said sleepily.

"Wait, Miyu--" Illya said.

Miyu hung up.

"Huh? She hung up..." Illya said.

"Hmm!" Illya said determined.

We kept clashing on and on.

"Why don't you just give up already? You're just a copy of Illya. We all are. There's no point in living." Riley said, smirking.

"If that's the case, why don't you give up so I can finish you already?" I said.

"I don't plan to lose. that's why." Riley said.

Riley swiped her leg and made me fall.

I lost my two swords.

Riley raised her sword skyward.

"Goodbye!!" Riley said.

I gasped.

Out of nowhere, Illya appeared and blocked the attack with Ruby in Sword Mode.

"Huh?" Riley said in confusion.

Illya groaned.

Illya stopped blocking and Riley stopped too.

"You don't have to fight just because you hate each other! I know you too fought once, but you don't need to fight twice! We're friends! We gave you clothes, and fed you and let you stay in our house! So why kill us when we did something nice for you?" Illya said.

"Hmm... Sorry, I guess anger took me over." Riley said.

"I'm sorry Riley." I said.

"I'm sorry too." Riley said.

"Now give each other a hug so we can finally sort this out!" Illya said.

Me and Riley hugged.

Suddenly, Riley whispered in my ear: "We're still rivals, right?"

Riley smirked.

"Yeah." I said, and smile proudly.
