Chapter 14 - Once a master now a servant

For living for thousands of years, she was one would say immortal. Walking down a path without a goal, she explored almost all of china. She almost became a concubine for Xiang Yu. But she somehow didn't go down that path. But she lived since the age of gods. 

She walked all around, saw the world change. A powerful being, then as the world advanced, she felt lonely. Wary of humans, she didn't know who to trust until he met him. Someone that could understand her.

Her existence would make human's fearful of her. A place to call home, a place to feel safe. He gave her that, sure the organization and the woman that took her in helped her. But, he was someone that helped her feel at ease with everything. 

She was Hinako Akuta, or could be could Yu. A nickname given to her by him. But, everytime they ray shifted, every time they went to a new era of history of earth. They fought against humanity's historic figures, who were powerful in their era. Fighting either against them or allying along side of them to fix the timelines. 

But doing that, he had an accident with rayshifting. He was a master, and so was she. She didn't join him in that mission where she went to the dynasty timeline. Since, as Chaldea was not able to support more than 1 master here. She was worried for her, she sat back and would wait patiently. 

"Neo...."

She tightly holds his hoodie and brings it up to her nose, catching a whiff of his scent. As he uses this a lot, he has two hoodies, he uses a lot. Hinako enjoys smelling his hoodie, as she gets it from him whenever she acts like she is 'cold' whenever they rayshift or when they are out of Chaldea to enjoy some time off.

She was addicted to his scent, giving her a sense of security. A sense of warmth, everytime she is beside him working together, she enjoyed every second of it. Wanting to be more than just a companion/co-worker. She wanted to be his, Hinako liked him, just that she was to nervous to confess her feelings.

She hid them thinking that there will be a good time to confess, she kept stalling. 

Hinako put on the hoodie and smiled, hugging herself. She slept peacefully, the hoodie was big hiding her slim, alluring body.

[Days later]

Hinako looked at the capsule where Neo was put in while he ray shifted. She touched the glass, she wished she could touch his face. His mouth looked alluring to her, as if they were tempting her to kiss them. She missed him already, even though the other masters were friendly and so was Olga the director of Chaldea. 

Her being wanted to be in his presence the most. 

"Neon....come back to me"

"He'll be back, have some trust in him, he is a strong master"

Da vinci came from behind, as she saw through the glass in the room. Hinako entering the room where Neo slept. Da Vinci was smart to know that Hinako liked Neo.

"I'm sure"

She agreed, but there was always worry in the back of her mind.

"Come! One of the master's are summoning I don't know if you want to see it"

Hinako didn't want to, just stare at him sleep while his spirit is in another timeline. But this could help her mind be at ease.

"Lead the way Da Vinci"

"Follow me~!"

**********

[Next day]

*Loud Alarm Noises*

The room where Neo's body was staying at was blaring loud, Da Vinci and some staff where there to figure out what was happening.

"Oh no!"

Da Vinci gritted her teeth, she was trying to summon Neo back to his body, away from that timeline. He was in danger, they could see from the screen. But the footage was being disrupted by a unknown force. 

"What is happening!?"

Hinako was walking down the lower floors where Neo resided, until she heard the blaring noise. Instantly, she ran towards the room, she opened it to find Chaldea staff, Romani and Da Vinci trying to figure out a way to save him.

"Da Vinci! What is happening!?"

She went inside yelling, she looked at the screens and figured it out. Finding Neo being near death fighting for his life. She gritted her teeth, going to Da Vinci.

"Send me where he is at now!"

She demanded with urgency.

"I-I can't! It would not be a secure connection to the timeline right now, while we're trying to ray shift him back to his body"

She typed away, finding problems going off, the battle of Neo and his servant against some creatures of the timeline where showing. 

"No! No! No! No!"

Hinako clenched her hands into fist, she needed to be there. 

"Da Vinci, I got it!"

Romani found a solution and was going to ray shift Neo. But the next thing showed on the screen was heart breaking.

Neo had his arm ripped apart, as he roared in pain. Only for his servant to be knocked away before he was able to rescue him.

As, Neo was then shown of him about to be killed. 

"Shit!"

Romani pressed the button, Da Vinci sweated. Hinako paled at the scene, a beam of energy engulfed Neo. It wasn't the ray shift it was an attack from a higher being. Who grinned with it's ugly face. 

Neo became nothing after the blast. As the room he slept in blared red with alarms, Hinako quickly entered the room and put everything she had in breaking the capsule. Many gasped at the scene of Neo's death. Many staff had gloomy faces and Romani clenched his fist.

"Wait Hinako-san!"

Da Vinci yelled, it was to late, before Hinako could grab Neo and take him out to examine his body. He slowly became a bright light, his body slowly becoming particles.

"No! Don't leave me Neo! Neo! Neo!"

Hinako cried, she gripped tightly of his body, it was just futile. Da Vinci tried another way, but the system with deadline. She couldn't have saved him, they lost a master a man willing to help Chaldea and it's goals. Someone who treated many kindly and servants as well. 

It was the end of a man who took on burdens for many others.
