Prologue
2 years after the Fifth Holy Grail War...
'Tic tock Tic tock'
The sound of the grandfather clock outside in the common room of the Tohsaka Mansion echo throughout the house as I laid on my bed restless as I tried to go to sleep for what seemed like forever.
Picking my phone up from the dresser next to my bed I check the time and saw it was 2am in the morning, groaning knowing I had a plane to catch in 6 hours towards London, England where the Mage Association headquarters is located.
Placing my phone back on the dresser I shifted toward my left side and glared at the wall having nothing better to do.
It was while I was staring at the wall that memories from years ago came rushing towards me knowing the things I had to sacrifice for the better good and the things I shouldn't have given up on as regrets and sadness filled inside me.
3 months after the Holy Grail War...
It was a ordinary day as the sun shone bright in the sky and the school year was nearly over as Shirou and I hung out in the roof of the school eating our lunch as usual when it happen.
I was discussing what my plans were for after graduation when Shirou suddenly out of nowhere kissed me on the lips causing my heart to race and a warm feeling sweep over my body at the feeling of his lips on mine and for a moment I almost gave into it when I remembered.
Sakura...
The sister I never got to grow up due to a separation and the sister who doesn't remember me was in love with Shirou Emiya and has been for a long time.
Who was I to take him away from her and taking her happinesss...yes it would be best if I settle my feelings with Shirou before they get out of hand despite how much I care for him.
My sister happiness is worth more than mine...
Pushing Shirou away and a slight redness to my face I shot him a look of repulsive as he stared into my eyes with confusion written all over his face.
I felt my heart ache in my chest at what I was going to do but knew it was for the best.
"Shirou...I know you have feelings for me and all but just know I only want us to be friends and that is all." I lied as I forced myself to keep a emotionless expression as Shirou looked heartbroken.
I wanted to to take back my words so bad but for once I had to be selfless and let him go for the sake of Sakura who lost so much.
Several moments went by before Shirou spoke.
"Tohsaka...I have always had a crush on you since we were young and it was no secret that even through the Holy Grail War that my feelings for you increased but just know this...I will wait for you despite what you said no matter what for you are the only person I love." He said softly as his golden eyes soften and he wore his usual stupid grin despite the pain he was in at my rejection.
It took everything in me not cry but somehow I managed.
That idiot...
Afterwards we never hung out again as I went my separate way in order to keep my feelings in check and he went his.
The promise I gave to Archer before he metarlized was now broken as I was no longer there to watch over him.
There were several things I regretted back and didn't but leaving Shirou was one I wasn't certain about despite the time that went by since then.
Sleep began to take ahold of me as my eyelids began to grow heavy.
Still it was too late to change what happen and only hope he move on with Sakura, who I heard were in a relationship now.
My heart ached after hearing about that but I wasn't upset about missing my opportunity to be with him..no this was for the best...
I have a future to look forward in a couple of hours and everything in Japan will be behind me including everyone else..
With that final thought I felt into a peaceful sleep.
