[He's avoided Kirei for years. It would be safer, he thought, to just stay as far away as possible.
But that was before he found out Shirou had gotten involved. Before Kirei came to their home in search of him, invited by his own stupid, trusting little brother.
Now he's decided it's best to take care of Kirei once and for all. Thus here he is at the church, sneaking up to the back door with gun in hand. He's had no sign that Kirei knows he's coming, so he hopes that when he kicks in the door he'll find a surprised priest that he can shoot and run.]
[Kirei's there, standing casually inside the door, as though he was waiting for Kiritsugu to burst in. His greeting has a smug laziness to it, and he extends a hand in welcome to Kiritsugu.]
How nice to see an old friend again. I hope your brothers are in good health as well.
[Well that's cute. He dodges the shots, hitting the ground in a roll before returning Kiritsugu's greeting with a throwing knife aimed at his shoulder]
[A dive to the left, and Kiritsugu takes shelter behind a pew. Perhaps they shouldn't fight in a house of god, but it's certainly not stopping him from peeking up to shoot again.]
I assure you, he was the one who invited himself back time and time again. If he were a child, I'd happily allow you to lay blame on me, but I'm more than certain he's old enough to make decisions for himself.
Of course sadism was an element, and if you had the ability to understand, you wouldn't blame me. It's true that I tempted him once, but as I mentioned, he returned time and time again of his own volition. I was curious to see what his own lust and foolish curiosity would bring about, and the results were better than I could have anticipated. It drew you to me not once, but twice now, when you're otherwise so elusive. And because of that, I may as well tempt him back again if it means you'd pay me a third visit in the future.
[He laughs, taking several steps towards Kiritsugu. Kirei doesn't fear Kiritsugu -- quite the opposite, he would not object entirely to being shot by the man, though he has every intention to avoid it if possible]
But I will be honest with you, Emiya Kiritsugu, it wasn't pure sadism. Sleeping with a talented but strung out addict loses its charm after some time. Shirou's physical companionship was much appreciated.
[No. He is not talking about this. It's been obvious for a long time that Kirei is nowhere near sane and thus it's completely useless to argue with him.
Instead he'll just take another shot at his face.]
[Kiritsugu is, as far as Kirei's concerned, awfully predictable -- as he guessed, there's more gunfire, easy enough for him to sidestep. While Kiritsugu has cover, while luring him out would prove difficult, he's certain that the man is stubborn enough to stay for as long as he wants, and focused enough to be baited.
Which is fine, really. Kirei enjoys his company, with or without the bullets.]
I see you insist on placing the blame with me. Very well, allow me to pose a question to you, then. If I were to pledge that I would no longer lay a hand on him, and that I would turn him away from this place when he came, what would you do for me in return?
I do not doubt that - unfortunately, that's rather against my own personal interests, which puts us at an impasse. I'd rather stay alive for the moment, while I'm certain you're happy to stay here until I'm dead.
The benefit of the pew is that it protects him from that side. The drawback is that it means he has to either vault it or run its length to get away once Kirei's back there.
He goes for the former, rolling under the one in front of it and coming up shooting.]
