Either way, the war has technically ended since Shirou was the last master standing. Archer was so mad as he tried to finish the boy off. "Why? Why can't I just get rid of you?' He snarled.

Shirou fought back against Archer using his spell to magnetize his weapons together.

Archer was so hellbent on getting rid of him that he head butted Shirou, making them stumble to the ground. "Why? I need to erase you! I need to erase the mistake. I... should have never been kept alive," he growled as he chanted under his breath. A huge array of flowers appeared in the air as Rin screamed, "Stop!"

Archer was no match for whatever power his master had over him where there were no command seals left on her.

"I will make this right now!" he yelled as the flowers opened up and a large laser shot towards Shirou, who threw up his arm to shield himself from the blast. As he did so, he felt himself getting pushed aside and he caught a glimpse of Cuirassier smiling at him with tears in her eyes. "Thank you for giving me a chance to be a warrior once more," she whispered as she thrust her halberd through Archer. The laser hit her and she closed her eyes as she shattered into a shower of light. "Cuirassier!" Shirou yelled as his Servant vanished, leaving only her halberd stuck through Archer.

Archer staggered as he turned around, seeing a crying Rin with her hand outstretched. Cuirassier may have gotten him in the gut but she had dealt the final blow to his heart. "Don't you think I didn't realise who you were? I'm not that stupid, Emiya-kun," she whispered as he fell to his knees. She let him fall against her, stroking his hair as she sobbed. "You idiot. How did it turned out this way?" she muttered as he chuckled.

Kiritsugu watched his boy lay with his enemy with a well cooked beef stir fry in a glass bowl. He did everything he could to help that boy, his decisions now rested on his own choices.

"I thought I could erase my mistake... I was stupid to underestimate him. Haha its ironic. My past will repeat itself once more," he spat as he coughed out blood. Shirou stared at the man he could possibly turned out to be. He looked so defeated and... sad.

Years went by after that day. Shirou was offered the power of the Holy Grail, but he refused its power in exchange for living a normal life. Kiritsugu grew to be sick and bedridden until he finally passed away.

Rin went on to study abroad in England as a mage while Shirou took to travelling around the world. But one day they met once more, just in time for Shirou to ask her something.

"Do you like me? I still like you very much."

She didn't expect that question as she blushed. "What if I said yes?" she mumbled as he lighted up as well. They were both adults already so they shouldn't really be acting in this manner.

"Then I would take you to a good spot where we could learn more about one another."

"Now why do you sound like a pervert?' She muttered as she took down the place. She was a high ranking mage in Clock Tower now and Shirou was considered a living legend since hardly anyone ever survives the Grail War. She missed the kind boy he used to be in the past.

"I just mean...I want to reconnect with you. I'm alive because of you and how hard I worked to help Cuirassier win."

"Fine I get it. Geez you need to learn how to phrase your words properly,' she groaned but deep down she was glad to see him. No one knew how the war went and how it changed her except for him.

She extended her hand where they both held hands for the moment. Both of their hands felt warm on contact with another.

"So unlike you to invite a girl for dinner," she smiled as he blushed a little. He was way more tan than he ever was and she recalled Archer dying in her arms. "You shouldn't have tried to alter the past," she had whispered as he cupped her face. "You know me. I take everything onto myself," he had whispered as he looked at Shirou.

"Let me warn you. If you continue your path as a Hero of Justice, you will end up in a miserable state," he said as Shirou bowed his head. "Don't worry. I intend to continue that path," he said as Archer smirked. "So predictable," he had smiled as he diminished into a shower of light. Rin had mourned very badly after that and Shirou was a little shaken by the revelation of what he might become in the near future.

Rin stood outside the tiny cafe in a small dress. She didnt know why she bothered to dress nicely but she felt she should anyway. She wondered how Shirou was going to pay for the meal later since he never got to college.

Shirou walked to the cafe Rin was looking very nice for their first date. When he saw her, he could swear she was sparkling like a gemstone. She became real treasure to him.

They were soon seated at a table overlooking the city and Rin stared out of it, watching the lights shine. She was reminded of her high school days when she would come here sometimes and relax.

Shirou could see the musement Rin took to watching the sun. He felt awkward not bringing up a conversation, but right now she looked beautiful.

He was shocked to see tears in her eyes as she smiled at him. "The day the war ended, I came here with Archer for some parfait. Who knew we would meet here again as veterans of the war, Emiya-kun?" she smiled, her face so sad he wanted to pull her into a hug.

Well he did just that and they were just hugging as they stood at the balcony, the cold wind whipping their faces. Rin was red from the cold but she turned even more red as Shirou pulled something out from his pocket. "I know it isn't much but I was hoping I could do this somewhat properly," he said as he held a ring in his hand. It looked similar to the one she had years before but she never knew he had one similar to her.

"I hope you may remember me when you use this," he said as he got onto his knee. "Tohsaka Rin, would you do me the honour of being my wife?" he asked as he held the ring in his one remaining hand. Her eyes clouded with tears as she looked at the boy turned warrior she had loved from school and how he had to sacrifice so much to be here now.

"Yes," she whispered as he smiled, sliding the ring onto her finger as he embraced her. "God I love you Tohsaka. I never want to let you out of my sight," he whispered as she stroked his head. "I love you too, Emiya," she said as she stared at the stars, looking for approval from the loved ones she had lost.

"He's watching us, isn't he?" she asked as she held his hand, staring at the stars as they shone. "Yeah, he is," he said as he searched for the man he would have become. He vowed that he would protect Rin will all he had and he would never stray from the path of being the Hero of Justice. Even if it cost him his life, he would not back down from his path. That was his oath and his prayer.
