I don't own anything.

Hakuno Kishinami is floating in the endless sea. He is the winner of the Holy Grail War. And as he floated, he was feeling various emotion's. Gratitude for his servant for helping him in wining the war. Pity for his opponents. At first there was sadness, but after the fourth round it changed in to pity, since he accepted what he needed to do. As well as disgust for the things he had done. But the most prevalent emotion in him, was regret. Regret, for never being able to do anything else but to kill. Regret, for not finding another way, but to kill. And finally, regret for not making sure that Rin is safe. But there was another part of him, that wanted to live and experience how it felt to 'truly' live. While Saber and Rin gave his 'existence' a meaning, and showed him what it meant to feel joy, those moment's were the rare instances when he felt alive. And he only felt joy when he was with them.

But none the less, he wanted to live, a selfish wish. A wish he didn't want to deny for himself. So he let it influence his final decision in his short 'existence'. And he wrote his wish.

'I, want to stop the existence of the Holy Grail War, and I want to live.'

He knew that only one wish could be granted, but he wanted to hope. To hope, that he could have two wishes granted. But deep in his mind, he knew that he will only get one wish, but which one?

He wanted to rebel against his fate. He rebelled when he was thrown head first into a war. And he was rewarded in the end. And now he hoped that he could defy his fate even if it is hopeless.

Because hoping when it's hopeless, and resisting when it's meaningless, is what makes him Hakuno Kishinami.

Finally the Moon Cell processed his wish. And soon Hakuno felt his body being thrown from the cool sea to the flaming inferno.

Hakuno was now laying face up, and all he could see was the cloudy sky. The same sky he saw in his dreams.

Soon he started to feel the heat burning his skin, and the smoke filling his lungs. It was so unpleasant and painful that it snapped him out of his trance. He stood up and slowly looked around. And what he saw, shook him to his very core.

The ground was burning, the sky was full of smoke, and countless bodies were scattered around. Some of them were abandoned, while the others were crushed by the rubble. Some of them still could be passed of as human beings, and the others were unrecognizable. Some were burned beyond recognition, while the other were just piles of ash. Hakuno understood that he was surrounded by death. This was the land of death and no one alive can survive here for long. He needs to find a exit no mater what.

After the first step, he noticed the irregularities with his body. When he looked down to take a look at himself, he didn't see a body of a teenager, but a body of a young child. His legs were much shorter as well as his arms. He wasn't wearing his school uniform anymore, just a regular pair of white snickers, blue pants, and a white long sleeved shirt. He couldn't see his own face, so he didn't know if it even looked the same as he remembers. But now wasn't the time for thought, it was time to act.

Hakuno started to walk in a random direction. He didn't like that his steps were much shorter than before. He didn't know if he's walking away or going straight to the center of this hell. But he didn't want to die yet. The grail granted his wish, maybe it granted both of them. Hakuno would not allow this chance to slip right through his fingers. Even if he was walking into the center of this hell, he would just turn around and walk into another direction, even if his now small body would be covered in burns and mortal injuries, he would just keep walking until he no longer could. Because that's just who Hakuno Kishinami is.

Kirei Kotomine is walking around this chaos, and enjoying almost every moment of it. But there were some things that distracted him from his joy. The first thing, or more correctly, a person, was Kiritsugu Emiya. When Kirei saw Kiritsugu walking around in the rubble, he could not recognize him any longer. The man was broken, he searched for anything that was alive. His always empty eyes were now completely devoid of life. Kiritsugu Emiya was now nothing more than a broken machine. The last time when Kirei saw him, Kiritsugu was carrying a body of a boy. But by then Kirei already lost all interest in him.

But the second thing he saw, surprised him even more. A boy with brown hair. The boy was walking in a strange manner, which made it seemed like he wasn't used to his own body. But that wasn't the thing that surprised Kirei the most, it was the boys eyes. They were not empty, nor were they full of life. There was only one emotion in them.

Sheer determination.

"Oh, a mongrel that is yet to burn away?" -a dignified voice said next to Kirei. The only one who could survive in this chaos besides Kirei was Gilgamesh. His usually spiky hair was now lying, and he no longer had his golden armor, the only thing that was covering his body was a red cloth. "Maybe there are some plebeians who are worth of my rule after all." the servants voice was showing interest, which is rare. The only other person who the King of Heroes took interest in, was Kirei himself.

"There is something about that boy that intrigues me as well, Gilgamesh." Kirei was surprised at his own words.

"Are you suggesting that this tiny mongrel interests me, Kirei?" as he said those words, amusement started to fill his voice. Kirei just ignored the servants question, and started to walk towards the boy who could no longer stand. Now the boy was crawling, using all of his leftover strength until he finally used it all up. As Kirei walked closer, the boy surprised him yet again. On the boys right hand, there was a command seal. It was flickering. Two of the command seals were used and the last one will disappear soon.

Soon an amused and loud laugh rang out through the land of death. Kirei lifted his eyes from the boy and saw Gilgamesh standing near him, with his head held up high, as if he's laughing at the gods themselves. After he quieted down, he looked at Kirei with a smirk on his face. "You were right Kirei, this mongrel does mildly interests me. Why don't you take him in and raise him as your own? This child is promising, and in time, he will make a fine servant for me as well." -the King of Heroes said in a grandiose and commanding voice that would be heard by everyone around, if they could still be considered among the living.

Kirei just smirked at this, and thought to himself. 'Yes this boy is promising indeed.'

Hakuno felt like he was lying in a bed. After he opened his eyes he could see that the surroundings were dim, he could only see a small part of the room, illuminated by the moon light. He walked up to the window and took a look at his right hand. His command seals were almost completely gone, and now, lost the red color. Soon they will completely disappear like they didn't exist in the first place. He was thankful that Saber followed a useless master like him and brought him to victory. And now he can't even thank her.

Taking a look at his body again, he saw that all of the burns that he received were gone, like they were healed by magic. And he was really in a body of a child. So he was alive. The grail really granted his wish. Hakuno felt bad for being selfish, and getting a chance to live, and probably dooming the world for another Holy Grail War. But at the same time, he was happy that his 'existence' was not over and that he got his chance to truly live.

Then he could hear a door opening and a light switch being flipped. Looking around the room he could only see a bed and an old office table with one chair. The best word to describe the room is plain.

"I see you have awakened." a familiar voice said. Hakuno turns his attention to the voice.

And he never expected to see him again.

"Who are you?" Hakuno already knew the answer.

In front of Hakuno stood Kirei Kotomine, or to be more precise a younger version of him. He was not as tall as he was in the Moon Cell, nor was his hair as long. But those were the only major differences, everything else was almost the same. He wasn't wearing the priest coat, only his uniform, and he still had the golden cross on his neck. Then Hakuno remembered that the NPC's in the Moon Cell were copies of real live people. So does this mean that he went back to the past, or was he thrown in a whole different world?

"Kotomine Kirei. And you're in the Kotomine church. I found you in the fire, and brought you here. You didn't wake for a few hours. What is your name child?" Kirei said as he walked up closer to Hakuno. He was really tall since Hakunos body is much smaller than before, it was really noticeable. Hakuno had to raise his head, look into his eyes and respond. "Hakuno Kishinami."

"Where are your parents?" Kirei asked expecting to see despair in the boys eyes when he realized that his parents have burned away in the fire. But the answer caught him off guard. "I don't have any." Kirei didn't see any sadness nor sorrow. Which surprised him, maybe the boy and him were alike in some aspects. "So you're an orphan, how old are you Hakuno?"

After hearing the question "how old are you" Hakuno thought for a little bit. He didn't know how to answer that. When he found out that he was nothing more than an A.I., it made him think about his age. Was he 17 years old, or maybe he was just 7 weeks old. In the end, he decided that his true age is unimportant. After thinking for a bit, he finally decided how old he is. Since the Holy Grail War lasted for 7 weeks he will be 7 years old.

"...I'm seven." is all Hakuno said after a short silence.

"I see. Hakuno, do you have any relatives?" Kirei continued his questioning without changing neither his facial expression, nor tone of voice. Hakuno, could already see where this is going. "No." was his short response. Again his voice did not show any emotion similar to sadness. "Then how would you like to be adopted by me?" and there was the question.

"Why me? Aren't there other children who lost their families during the fire?" Hakuno questioned. It was strange that the priest wanted to adopt him.

"Yes there were, but all of them will be sent to an orphanage. As for you. You have a lot of potential unlike the other children, and I would like to polish it. So, I will ask you again, will you allow me to adopt you?" Kirei said. The boy managed to impress both Kirei and the King of Heroes. Not to mention he had a command seal, which makes him a potential master for the next Holy Grail War.

Hakuno lowered his head to think about his decision, and Kirei just waited in silence. He didn't like the priest when he still was a participant in the Holy Grail War, but he didn't hate him ether. The best way to describe how he felt about the priest, is that Hakuno felt 'wary' around him. In the end it was either being adopted by him, or going to the orphanage. And living as a Kotomine sounds interesting. So with that, Hakuno made the decision that will change the Fifth Holy Grail.

"Sure, it's ether this, or going to the orphanage. But, can I ask one question?" Hakuno spoke with excitement for the first time since he got here. "What is it?" Kirei asked with a raised eyebrow.

And then Hakuno Kotomine spoke.

"What sounds better to you, 'dad' or 'father'?"

So yeah this will be a 'Hakuno is raised by Kirei and Gilgamesh' story for a few chapters. Until Hakuno summons his servant that is.

As for what servant's will be summoned. All servants except Hakuno's will be the same. As for who will be Hakuno's servant, it won't be anyone from Fate/Extra. So I'm open for suggestions on who he should summon.

As usual if anyone has a suggestion on how I should improve myself let me know.
