Notes:

Hello, I just want to inform you that the chapter 5 had been fixed, I want to thank Killer Hamster for that.

About some of the questions that some of you send me by PM.

The magic that Tatsuya used was Material Burst, I just used the images from the episode 1 to illustrate the visual effects.

About the Servants. After their experience Shirou, Sakura, Illya and Rin by respect to their former servants promise to never summon one, on special because that also would mean create the Grail´s war system again and that is the last thing that any of them want. But what you want and what you get are sometimes completely different things.

The magic that Sakura used was inspirited on the magic used on a series named Seiken Tsukai no World Break on the episode 11 in case that you want to see it.

Also the Elixir that will be mentioned on this chapter is based on the one used by Kazuma of Kaze no Stigma.

I change the code name of Tatsuya for just Silver.

The destructive power of the FSN casting, I had been trying to increase their power to beyond the ones that were see on their original universe that is why even if Shirou used Caladbolg II it had so great impact, the best way that I can describe it is that they and their enemies will have the same level as the servants that were show of the demo of Fate Prototype.

Now on to the story.


It was early in the morning and we can see how a red haired young man was beginning to wake up on a king size bed.

"Morning again, hmph, I guess that I will need to start to cook the breakfast" but that thought was soon put on hold when he felt resistance over his chest. More aware of his surroundings Shirou opened his eyes more and saw a violet haired head resting over his chest.

"Sakura!"

"Good morning." greeted a semi sleeping Sakura as she pressed her face against his chest as it was her pillow.

"What are you doing here?"

"Last night was very cold and I just want to cuddle into something warm, the next thing I knew was you were waking me up, I believed that it was a dream but if this is real we should go back to sleep for five more minutes."

"Sakura, this is bad if the others discover about this I will be in troub-"

"Oniichan, hurry up with the breakfast, today I want a -" whatever her choice on the menu was, ended when Illya saw both Sakura and HER Shirou on the bed with Sakura head resting over him.

"Oniichan, what the hell are you doing?" demanded Illya with a voice that promised pain if she didn´t like the answer, while Sakura began to wake up completely.

"Illya, this is not what you think I can explain everything."

"I would like to hear that explanation too." said the threatening voice of Rin on the moment that she stepped through the door frame.

"Good morning Illya, Rin-nee." greeted Sakura from the bed.

"Good morning my ass! What do you think that you are doing?!" shouted a mad Illya.

"Marking my territory." Sakura answered simply.

"Marking territory?! That is not fair! I was supposed to be the first one to sleep all night with Oniichan!"

"SA-KU-RA!" bit out a mad Rin, she really love her sister and was willing to do alot for her, but handing over that red haired idiot is not one of those things.

"You should try it too, Shirou is very warm and cozy to hug at night."

That was the beginnings of a fight that could be heard all over the house. That indicates the beginning of another day on the Emiya mansion that for some reason was never boring.

In the room next to Shirou's we could see how Tatsuya was getting up while he could hear the fight in the next room. "So this is what happens when you have sister figures that have a huge brother complex, well that is not something that we need to worry about." he thought absentmindedly.

After he finished getting ready he looked at himself in the mirror, staring at his new school uniform. With his mind reflecting about all that had happened to him up to this moment and how his life had changed since then.

It had been around three years since the Okinawa battle and things sure had changed.

Since that day where a group of people in battle armor appeared defeating an entire army, for the next weeks the media seemed to focus more on them than the invasion, all thanks to the videos that were taken by the many tourists that were saved by them, where their incredible powers were shown to the public because they were released online before the SDF could get to those videos. The only good news for the SDF was that so far none of the news channels knew that those same people were the ones that destroyed the incoming enemy fleets, still, that didn´t stop the people to speculate, if only they knew how close they were to the truth. So far only the SDF and the civilians that were in the command center knew what really happened that night and were ordered to sign a confidentiality agreement before they were allowed to leave. Still the SDF and the 10 master clans had made it their top priority to find those magicians and recruit them, using the names that the media had given them. The Jewel Sorceress, The Queen of Light, The Nature Sage and the Phantom Blade were names that all the magicians in Japan knew with the exception of the Maheshivara, the young magician that had rescued the people in the HQ of the SDF and only the high officers of the government and the masters clans knew about him.

But that is not all that had happened. Since the introduction of Silver, a new member of the seats of Avalon, the already important company had raised to new heights by have both markets under their control, the markets for thaumaturgy and the modern magic.

And with the five of them working together creating and revealing new magic, magical tools and sequences the world of the magic had advanced further in the last 8 years than in the last five decades.

Some of the new discoveries that were released were the concept of the magic crest that could be placed on a non-magician, granting to them the capability to activate a CAD that had a small charge of mana stored in them. The necessity of this crest came with the great advancements made by the Apple of Avalon in the field of medicine where the number of magicians that became doctors were lower to the non-magician doctors, so in order to make it possible that those advancements could benefit more people, AvalonTech released this new discovery which allowed an improvement on the medical field that was never seen before, however in order to avoid the government of any country to give magic weapons to all their soldiers; AvalonTech made sure that they will be the only ones with the knowledge to produce those magic crests and AvalonTech alone can activate the crests.

Another great advancement made by the Apple of Avalon was the introduction of a new medicine called Elixir, this medicine was created to help on the recovery of physical injures, it also had a unexpected secondary effect where magicians that were considered almost terminally ill because their overuse of their magic, soon began to recover thanks to this new medicine, as a twist of fate one of the lives that were saved was one Shiba Miya.

But that was not all, in order to change the role of the magicians in society, AvalonTech created a new magazine under their control; Mirage, that shown the positive use of magic, it also updated readers with new information of advancements on both magic systems which made it one of the favorites amount the younger generation. All of this under the supervision of Itou Aoi.

It was this same magazine that was the first to reveal to the world the news that a successful flight magic for both systems had been created.

Tatsuya could help but smile that memory. It was about six months after the battle of Okinawa when Tatsuya and Shirou were training when an unexpected revelation gave him the idea to make the flight magic a reality. It was during that session when Shirou traced some swords and launched them at him just for Tatsuya to avoid them. The projection magic of Shirou was something that Tatsuya still couldn´t understand even with his elemental sight, the way that he turned mana into a physical object that is created with powers and skills that were beyond the humans limits was something that always amazed him, however this time he realized something special, that so far no sword had the power of fly or levitate by themselves so then how was it possible for the swords to fly like that?

When he asked Shirou and the others about this, neither of them had an explanation to this phenomena, so this soon became the new project for Tatsuya and Shirou, a year later they produced the first magic crest that helped to store and provide the thaumaturgy user with the spell that they needed to fly and a few weeks after that a CAD for modern magicians with the sequence to fly was completed allowing both type of magicians to take to the sky. All this increased the reputation of the five seats of Avalon.

"Tatsuya-kun, are you ready? You wouldn´t want to be late on yours first day on the Magic School." asked Sella from outside his room taking Tatsuya from his thoughts.

Walking downstairs he arrived to the kitchen where he could see Leysritt had started to prepare the breakfast and all the adults were on the table.

"Looks like today we are not going to be having Shirou's cooking" remarked Iris.

"I wish that they make a decision already, I not only want to see my grandkids soon, but I miss Shirou´s cooking just as badly." replied Aoi.

"Good morning everyone." greeted Tatsuya as he walked in.

"Good morning"

"So are you excited about your first day?" asked Aoi.

"Also, are you sure about your choice?" added Iris

The situation on question was that because Tatsuya could use both magic systems that made him a singularity in the world of the magic that could attract unwanted attention from the masters clans so when the moment came to sign in for the first magic high school, Tatsuya had to choice under which system he will do it. After some consideration Tatsuya decided that he will enter as a thaumaturgy user.

"It is fine, after all I can only use modern magic on my strongest and most unique spell, and that is something that will really attract unwanted attention, so it will be for the better if I go as a thaumaturgy user, after all my standard magic belong to that system."

"Good morning." greeted a happy Sakura as she took a sit on the table. That was followed by an blushing Shirou and a not too happy Rin and Illya.

Over the years a secondary effect of having Avalon inside have been made apparent to them, although they were 24 years old they still looked roughly 18. At the beginning they didn´t notice this but as the time went by, soon it become evident that the copy of Avalon was completely integrated with them, yhere was nothing they could do about it and now they currently look the same age as Tatsuya.

Taking a seat it was Rin the one that started the conversation.

"Tatsuya, did you already make a choice about what that girl told you about the last week?"

The event in question was when a second year student girl with name of Mibu Sayaka. She came asking to see Emiya Tatsuya for a matter related to the First Magic High school, after the introductions were done she began to explain her reason to be here; and that reason was that the admission test where Tatsuya got the best result with a difference of 92 points over the person that got the second place; but because Tatsuya was a thaumaturgy user the committee had decided that the modern magic student that got second place will be the one to give the welcoming speech for this year. And that was something that the thaumaturgy users considered discrimination, after all what is the point of work hard if yours efforts will mean nothing only because of the group that you belong to.

Now they had a unique chance to protest about this, with a student that use thaumaturgy getting the first place with such a great difference in his score but that he also was an Emiya, which means that the school committee couldn´t use its influence to intimidate him. But they need Tatsuya's help to do it, the plan was that all the thaumaturgy students was to boycott the entrance event while inviting a reporter to witness the entire proceedings.

If Tatsuya was honest to himself, he didn´t really care about the speech but he could understand Mibu, after all Rin and Illya with the support of Sakura and Shirou had been working to improve the status of the thaumaturgy users. And for that reason he made the decision.

"Yes, I agree to be part of the protest, I don´t really care about this in the first place but things need to change if the work that we had been doing to change this world will mean something and the first step is to unite all the magicians."

"You know that whatever choice that you make you will have full our support all the way." assured Sakura.

A small smile was his answer and soon they proceeded to finish their breakfast.


While all this was happening, in the first magic high school a different meeting was taking place.

"I am sorry to have made you come this early, but I am afraid that we have our first problem of the year." said a beautiful red eyed girl.

"The first day of class and you already found a problem, I had to give it to you Mayumi you sure know how the start the year." short haired girl commented.

"This is something serious Mari-chan." said the named Mayumi.

"What is this problem? Can't this wait until the end of the classes?" asked a serious looking girl with long hair.

"It is about the admission test, Rin-chan."

"Was there any mistakes regarding them?" asked the smallest of the gathered girls

"It is something more serious A-chan, this year the record for the highest score for the entry test was broken by a huge margin."

"But that's great news, right?" asked Rin-chan.

"By a thaumaturgy student."

"Oh."

"I still fail to see the problem with that." said Mari.

"It looks that the evaluation board decided to give the honor of the welcoming speech to the second place that is a modern magic student even if her score was over 90 points lower. Somehow some thaumaturgy students not only found out about this but also got the scores of those two students."

"I am sure that they can't be too happy for that." commented Mari.

"They are planning something, aren't they?" added Rin.

"But what could they do?" asked A-chan.

"Yesterday I got a message from them." Mayumi reported with a serious expression. "The message said that all the thaumaturgy students will boycott the welcome speech, not only that but a reporter had been invited to see the event, they argue that choosing someone that scored over 90 lower just because she is from the modern magic class is discrimination."

"And they are right to think like that." approved Mari.

"I know and I agree with them." stated Mayumi.

"The fact that you called us here means that there is something else." said Rin.

"As you can imagine the headmaster was not too happy with the decision of the evaluation board. Especially when some of the board members sent the message to the thaumaturgy students that boycotting the event will have consequences."

"The headmaster didn´t agree to that, did he?" noted A-chan rhetorically.

"Fortunately no, but that lead us to the other part of the problem. The student that got the higher score belongs to the Emiya family." said Mayumi shocking those present.

"By Emiya, do you mean the owners of AvalonTech, the company that had changed the face of the magic over the last few years, the same company that have the seats of Avalon working for them?" asked an excited A-chan.

"Yes, that is correct and as you can imagine the reaction from the Emiya regarding this matter."

"Now that anti-gravity magic had been developed by them it had become my personal goal to get inside AvalonTech and be part of the team that changes the roles that the magicians have in this world." added Rin. "There are some rumors that the five seats of Avalon are working into developing a new type of power source and my dream is to be part of that project."

"Could we just make that student be the one that give the speech? After all he deserved it." said A-chan

"But what about the other one, she wasn't at fault regarding this and just got involved unwittingly." commented Mari.

"The logical option is to have both of them give the speech during the welcome ceremony." suggested Rin.

"The principal and I came to that same solution but we still need to talk with the representatives of the thaumaturgy students and for that I will need all of you to be there." said the president.

The meeting with the representatives was better than she expected until they got the topic about the invitation to form part of the student council, because as the tradition said the one with best score on the entry test will be invited to be part of the council. Knowing that they had the right Mayumi agreed to that. And that left Mibu with the task of inform Tatsuya about this tradition that she forgot to tell him about.


Mayumi had just ended that meeting with the representatives of the thaumaturgy course and while she agreed with their cause, as student council president she still needed to adhere to the rules. After all with the discovery of the thaumaturgy system the differences between the both course students should had ended, but some people on the first course still like to practice the idea that they are superior just because they are greater in numbers. Something that Mayumi believes that it is only to hide their fear and insecurity.

Turning the corner she could see a student walking in her direction, while this was something normal, what made him special is because he was the focus of the meeting that she just had a few moments ago. She called out to him.

"Are you a new student? Is there something that worries you?" that got the attention of the boy that after a few seconds replied.

"No, it is nothing."

"Really, I am the student council president Saegusa Mayumi, it is written as seven grasses but you can read it as Saegusa."

"I am Emiya Tatsuya."

"So you are the famous Emiya-kun." it was not so much a question as an affirmation, but before they could talk a little more someone called for her.

"President the ceremony is about to start." reported A-chan as she got closer, "Were you two talking?" said the girl embarrassed that she might have intruded on their moment.

"No, now if you excuse me." said the Tatsuya as he took this chance to leave.


While all this was happening a beautiful young girl had just been informed that she would need a shorter speech than the one that she prepared after she was informed the day she got her results back that she would be the student representative of this year.

"And so this is the gist of it." summarized the principal, after Saegusa went to talk with the representatives of the thaumaturgy students, that left the principal with the job of informing the young girl about the change of plans. "I am truly sorry for this mix up Shiba-san."

"I understand, but it wouldn´t be better if the other student gave the speech? After all he did have the higher score." asked the now identified Shiba.

"Under normal circumstances that will be true, but the tension between the course students is still present, we are trying to reduce that but if we made a change that big so soon it will be the modern magic students that would made another protest, this is the best solution that we have for the moment. For that we need your help."

"I will do my best to help because I also believe that this divide between the students have absolutely no reason to be there." nodding her head Shiba left the headmaster office and headed to the auditorium not knowing that she will get a blast from the past.

"There you are." someone called from behind. "I am here to take you to the ceremony; by the way I am Watanabe Mari".

"Nice to meet you, I am Shiba Miyuki."

"I just want to tell you that we are very sorry for this whole mix up."

"It is OK, to be honest I agree with the thaumaturgy students, this is something that shouldn´t have happened, I just hope to have the chance to talk with the student that won the first place in the entry exam."

"Don't worry about that, the two of you will be invited to a meeting with the student council to discuss this and future events." Said Mari as the two of them began to walk to the auditorium behind the stage where Mayumi waited for the beginning of the ceremony.

Few minutes later the announcer gave her the signal, taking a deep breath she walked to the stage and proceeded to give her speech (the same speech that she did on the first episode). After she was done with it the students clapped for her as she leaft the stage to where Mari-san was waiting for her on to hear that the thaumaturgy student was called to the stage. Turning around to see him she never expect what she saw when a young boy that the announcer introduced him as Emiya Tatsuya.

"It can't be" thought Miyuki as the boy that had the same name as his brother walked the podium. "He shouldn't be in this place without mother knowing about this."

While Miyuki was having her internal conflict, Tatsuya was ready to start his speech.

"Fellow students, today marks the beginning of a new chapter in our lives, not only as magic students but as fellow magicians, you can say that it is the destiny that we are living on an era where the roles that the magicians play in this world are changing and as the ones that will represent the future of this change we must adapt as well, because even for the strongest magician out there are things that are impossible to do alone, but joining all our talents and skills we can achieve the impossible. So I made a call for the cooperation between all of us, because no matter what course do you belong to, from the moment that we leave these walls to the rest of the world we are all magicians."

That ended his speech leaving each student with their own thoughts, while he left the stage on the opposite direction from Miyuki.

With that the welcoming ceremony was over.

On the hallways Tatsuya was making his way to his classroom while thinking. "This probably how Shirou feels about his abysmal luck." thought the young man. This day had send him surprise after surprise, first Mibu-senpai had informed him about the tradition about inviting the new student representatives to be part of the student council, something that while he didn´t care about, he wouldn´t want that position for himself. Just after this revelation he had just met the student council president who happened to be a Saegusa and a member of the master clans and if that was not enough he had just met his sister. If Tatsuya was honest to himself he didn´t know what to feel about her, he didn´t hate her but the fact that she was close and loyal to his former mother made him be wary of her.

"Hey what is the hurry?" asked a red haired girl.

Turning around he saw the two girls that he had just meet at the entry of the auditorium and have a little chat with them while he waited to the beginning of the ceremony, Chiba Erika and Mizuki Shibata.

"Sorry, I had something on my mind and I didn´t realize that you were with me."

"Never mind that, by the way that was a nice speech" complimented Erika.

"Just as expected from someone from the Emiya clan" added Mizuki.

"Actually I was adopted by them when I was around 10 years old and they preferred to be called a family rather than a clan." When he saw the look of surprise from the girls, he was about to tell them that he had no problem with that when a new voice made her presence to known.

"Excuse me Tatsuya-san?" came the voice of a nervous Miyuki.

"You are the modern magic representative, Shiba-san isn´t it?" asked Erika.

"Yes it is me, I was wondering if I could have some words with Tatsuya-san?"

"I have no problem with that, but what do you want to talk with me Miyuki-san?"

"If possible I would like it to be in private." said Miyuki in a quiet voice.

Before Tatsuya had the chance to even think of his reply a new voice interrupted them.

"Hello, it looks that we meet again." said the newly arrive Mayumi calling the attention of the people present. "I would like to invite the two of you to the first student council meeting that will be tomorrow."

"President, I understand Miyuki-san, but he don´t qualify for-" protested a boy that was next to the president, but before he can finish he was interrupted by her.

"Stop Hattori, we are here on an official business of the council and you are being impolite." looking back at Tatsuya. "I apologize for this Tatsuya-kun, But the invitation is still up and I would like to have your company tomorrow meeting, you too Miyuki." that said she nodded her head and left the place, been followed by Hattori not before he sent a dark look a Tatsuya direction.

"Well that was interesting but unfortunately I had others appointments so our talk will need to wait till another time." said Tatsuya.

"But I wanted to talk with you." said Miyuki on a sad tone.

"It is the first day of class so we will have the time to do it." and with that Tatsuya and the two thaumaturgy students leave that place leaving a Miyuki that saw how they leave.

Few moments later the three of them left the main building.

"Well it looks that you are really popular, Tatsuya." remarked Erika. "But I guess that been the first thaumaturgy student to get the first place on the entry exam had something to do with that."

"By the way Tatsuya, are you by any chance related to Miyuki-san?" asked Mizuki, making Tatsuya pale a little.

"Why do you ask that?" asked Tatsuya with worry.

"It is because for some reason your auras are a little alike." was Mizuki reply.

"Auras?" I see, she must have high sensitivity to the Psion particles; this is bad if she can see that she may can discovered my secret. Thought Tatsuya.

"My eyes are really sensitive to this type of things so that is why I am here, to learn to control my sight."

"I am sure that you will learn how to control it." encouraged Tatsuya as he keep walking. It was then the two girls realized that he avoided answering the question but they didn´t say anything about it. Soon he gave his goodbyes to the girls and hurried to the Emiya mansion; he needed to tell the others about what happened.


It was late at night when all the members of the Emiya family were present when Tatsuya dropped the news and told them what just happened.

"It is the same sister that you saved at the base 3 years ago?" questioned Kiritsugu.

"Yes she is."

"How do you feel about her?" asked Iris worriedly.

"I do not hate her but I cannot trust her, all the memories that I have of her, she always stayed away from me, keeping her distance and always close to okaa.. her mom" said Tatsuya in a low voice that all the people present understood. "I do not know if she knew about the Yotsuba's order to kill me that night, but as long as she follows her mother´s orders I cannot lower my guard around her."

"However this also means that by this moment the Yotsuba already knows that you are alive." noted Aoi.

"If they come here looking for trouble they will not see us coming." stated a determined Rin.

"What do you plan to do tomorrow? After all you cannot ignore her for your throughout your school period." questioed Illya.

"I will talk to her, tell her the truth and after that it will all depend of her."

"Did she know that you saved her and her mother lives during the night of the attack?" asked Sakura.

"It will be for the better if you keep that a secret Tatsuya, after all she was in the command center when all of you destroyed the enemies fleets, if she recognized you as her savior she will also know about Shirou, Illya, Sakura and Rin" said Kiritsugu.

"In the meanwhile I will reinforce the bounded field." said Rin.

Over the years with the increase of fame for AvalonTech, it also attract unwanted attention to the family members that owned that company, so many paparazzi and corporate spies had tried to get more information about them by any means possible, that included trying to get into the mansion grounds. But for some reason each time when they tried to take a picture of the mansion they ended taking some pictures of their shoes and when they tried to get into the property they ended in their car with no idea about how they got there.

While all this was happening another meeting was taking place that involved three woman, two adults and one young one.

"Are you sure about this?" demanded a beautiful woman of long black hair.

-Yes, I am sure that he is Tatsuya-oniisan" answered Miyuki.

"Miyuki! I had told you that you do not need to call that thing as your brother!"

"I am sorry Okaa-sama." apologized Miyuki lowering her eyes.

"It had been many years since the last time that you saw him, are you sure that it wasn´t someone else?" asked a pale butler who had started to sweat with information that he just received from the young Ojou-sama.

"There is no doubt about that, Aoki-san." for some reason she never liked that man.

"But why would Kogoru-san enroll Tatsuya-san in the first magic school under another name without telling us, Miya-sama?" asked Honami.

"I don't know but I hope that he has a good explanation for this." said Miya as she drank a little more of her tea, then turning to Miyuki she said. "Miyuki I want to tell Tatsuya that I want to speak with him tomorrow after class, Honami you will pick them after class and bring them here, there is so much that we need to talk about, now it had been a long night and tomorrow will be quite intense so we should leave to rest."

And with the Miya leave the living room and walked upstairs to her bedroom. After she closed the door she leaned her back pressing against the door tiredly.

"I guess that my past has finally caught up with me." she said in a low voice. She reached her hand to her chest and from under her dress she take a small medallion and she proceeded to open it, it revealed two pictures on each side, one was her daughter wearing a summer dress during their recent holidays, the other one was an old picture that belonging to a six year old boy that on this day should be the same age as her daughter but she didn´t have any recent pictures to replace it.

Closing her eyes she tries to focus so she could understand how it is possible that this is happening.

After the tragic event that happened to her sister and the procedure that she was forced to perform on her, everything in her life seemed to become one problem after the next. With her sister no longer able to produce heirs that task was placed upon her, which forced her to choose a husband with the best genetic potential rather than love so she could produce a powerful heir, it was this circumstance that made her marry Shiba Tatsurou. From the beginning she knew that that man only cared about the money and power that he would get from marry her, she even knew about his lover, but she didn´t care because she never loved him, as long as she get the child that she had dreamed of she will tolerate him. That is also why when he and his lover died on that mysterious traffic accident two years ago she didn´t care.

But now she is facing one of the more important parts of her life, a part that she choose to keep away, a part that she couldn´t forget.

When she sealed her sister's emotions to help her to overcome that tragic experience, as a price part of her own were also sealed as well, that made easy for her to marry that man, but after her son was born a small light of hope come to her life as well as her sister, that true happiness only increased with the arrive of her second child Miyuki, but that happiness didn´t last when it was discovered that Tatsuya couldn´t use magic in the way that Yotsuba clan accepted. Following the needs of the clan over her desires as a mother she treated her own son as an outcast creating as much as distance between her son and her daughter so her image as the future clan heir wouldn´t be affected, while she tried to convince herself that that was the right decision on her mind; her heart was in pain because she couldn't show the love that she have for her son.

When the clan determined that his only two magic of destroying and restoring matter were too dangerous to be allow an emotional child to have it; they come to the same decision that they did with her sister. But before that happened, Tatsuya develop the condition known at that time as the broken window syndrome that affected all his magic. Believing that he no longer represents a danger to the clan and the world the clan comes to the decision to send him away so he could no longer embarrass the clan with his presence.

Knowing that Tatsuya would never be happy on the clan she cames to the hard choice of sending him to Kogoru, her dad's former body guard hoping that he could have a happy life as a normal child but in order to do that she need to remove any desire to ever come back to the clan from him, so her rough treatment on him was a necessity not only for him but to her as well because she needed to cut all links that she had with him in order to give him a chance to have a normal life, and the final touch of that idea was the moment when she leave him under Kogoru care. All this time telling to herself that that was the right choice at night before she could sleep.

When AvalonTech published their findings about magic based on thaumaturgy, by one moment she hoped that this could give her an opportunity to be with her son so the three of them could be a family but the reactions of the clan to that type of news destroyed that hope.

Few weeks after that she received the news that her overuse of her magic had an effect on her health and she only had a few years left. All this happening while she was recovering her emotions little by little, regretting that she couldn´t give her son the love that only a mother could and believing that she will die anyway she made use of her magic for the last time on her daughter so if she ever meet her brother again she would give him all the love and protection that he needed, hoping that in her death she could do something good for her son.

But her death never came, even if she had two close calls. The first one with the events of Okinawa, according to Miyuki and Honami her life was saved by a boy that used a special type of magic similar to the one that her son lost when he developed the broken window syndrome, also the fact that he mentioned his brother and sisters erase all hope after all that she did to him her son came to their rescue. The second one was when she was on her deathbed waiting for the end when the doctors of the Yotsuba clan came saying that AvalonTech had released a new medicine that could save her life, at first she didn´t believe it but when Miyuki begged her to try it she decided that for her daughter she would give it a try, to said that she was surprised when the "Elixir" worked was a understatement.

But now she had to face the fact that she didn´t have any more excuses to keep ignoring her son and that scared her. Fortunately for her a new excuse came, the main house had sent her the news that her sister Maya after learning of the effects of the new medicine had on her had decided to use it as well, having as result the gradual return of her emotions and that her presence was needed in the main house. Swearing that she will never use her magic on her sister or any member of her family again this time she stood by Maya side and helped her to overcome her situation as she should had done for the first time.
