Hi guys. So it has been a crazy rollercoaster ride that has lasted nearly five months. Thank you to all of those who have liked, followed and commented on this story. This was my very first anime work and I am so happy that people have read it and supported me the whole way. I really hope I can write another Fate fanfic as it has been fun writing this story. Who knows, maybe I might write after getting inspiration from Heaven's feel (totally can't wait for that to come out). I've also started a small project of Black butler fanfics so for those who are fans, you can go read those. Shoutout to SpiderArcher, .75, Hithelks and Volks for commenting this series and shoutout to DollMurderer76, Jack Hunter, Killerjakee, SerenaCrimsonEternity, The Crimson Killer, Tsukihime1467 for favouriting this story! ( sorry in case your name doesn't appear in the shoutouts as some of the names cannot be saved for some funny reason but anyway shoutout to all of those who have ever read this story!). Okay, enough ranting. I present to you the 21st and final chapter of "My Grail War". I don't own most of the characters. They belong to the Fate universe.

A few years later…

I ran through the corridors of the complex, my hair flying behind me as I clutched my books. "Oh shit! Not again!" I groaned as I ran towards one of the double doors ahead of me. As I slammed my way inside, several heads turned to look at me and I bowed my head, sliding into one of the empty seats. "Nice of you to join us, Tohsaka-san," a cool voice said and I looked up to see Sakura looking at me, a smudge look on her face. "I am so sorry. I overslept," I stuttered as I started to get out my materials.

"If you're late one more time, I'm going to lock the doors and bar anyone from giving you any notes regarding the lesson," she snarled as some of the students laughed. Blushing, I opened my textbook and she resumed her lesson on gem magic. I copied the notes into my book, my mind on full study mode. I drank the information hungrily like a sponge, scribbling as fast as I could.

Its been nearly a month since I have been admitted into Clock Tower as a student. Rin got into contact with the Clock Tower officials to sort out things on what happened at Fujuki City. It took months for the whole situation to get into control and what had happened at the city was faked as a freak nuclear explosion and Fuyuki City has been permanently designated as a Dangerous Area. I had been interrogated by the highest members of the association, questioning me about the war and asking for details on what had happened. Cal got interrogated as well along with the rest of my family and by the time we were done, we would go home and just lock ourselves in our rooms.

I knew each of us were having a hard time dealing with the lost of our servants. Technically, we didn't even have a winner for the sixth Holy Grail War. I would spend hours gazing at the ceiling, remembering the times I had with Archer. Images such as when we went shopping, when we went touring around the city, our first encounter when I had summoned him, they would leave me crying for hours at a time as I cried myself to sleep. "Archer, you moron," I mumbled under my breath, looking at a photograph I had managed to get when he was still around. He was clad in his leather jacket and I was smiling while he looked flustered as I took the selfie.

"What is this strange device?" he had asked as I adjusted the angle. "Well, this is called a handphone. And we're about to take a selfie. I don't really agree with selfies but since we don't really have anyone to take a picture of us, whatever," I had grinned as I positioned it. "Humans," he had muttered as I snapped the picture. I remembered him complaining on how weird he looked in the picture and he had tried to delete it while I waved it in his face. The picture had been taken at the bay, the sun setting behind us.

As I moped, a knock came at the door and I switched off my phone, pretending to sleep. "Yuki?" a voice called as Rin entered, a tray in her hands. "Morning, mum," I said and she made a face. "That title still doesn't sit well with me," she said as she set down the tray. Hot tea had been brewed in the teapot and she poured it out for me and I took a sip. "Ahh this is the life," I said as I swung my legs over the bed. "Thought you might be hungry. I never had experience taking care of a kid so I hope I don't seem to odd," she said. "It's cool. I always wanted to know my own mother," I said and she looked at me.

"So you did suspect it," she said. "Well, I didn't really look like my parents for starters and I kind of overheard them talking to my grandparents about it when I was little. They never did tell me about it though," I said. "Believe me. I would have done anything to take back the moment I left you on their doorstep. There hasn't been a single day where I never stop thinking about you," she said as she gripped her skirt. "Mum," I whispered as I set down my cup and hugged her. She gripped me hard, soft tears wetting my shirt.

"Anyway, this came by familiar this morning," she sniffed as she handed me a letter. I eyed the address as I turned it over. "London?" I wondered as I ripped it open. As I scanned the contents, she smiled at me with pride. "You are the rightful heir of the Tohsaka family and since you participated in the Grail war and survived, its only natural you would be invited to join Clock Tower," she said and I grinned madly as I scanned the contents. "I leave in September," I said as she stood up.

"Well there's still time for you to train. Why not we get started? That way you wouldn't turn out to be as lousy as poor Shirou," she said. "Can you not tease poor dad? He isn't that bad you know," I said as she laughed. "Well your father was always the clumsy one," she said just as she slammed into a wall of flesh. "Well what was that about me being clumsy," Shirou grinned down on Rin, who flushed red. "Idiot," she muttered as he rubbed her head and kissed her gently. "Adults," I muttered as I left them to do their thing.

When I reached Cal's door, I knocked it to find it unlocked. It swung open and I peered into the dark room. A large trunk was open and clothes had been thrown inside. "It isn't good to peer at people's things you know," a voice said and I whirled around to see Cal, who grinned. "How did your training go?" I asked as he strode over to sit on the bed, where I joined him. "Well, the usual. I just got the green light of joining the Mages Association. That way I get to do more field work," he said.

"So how long will you be gone?" I asked and he shrugged. "No clue. It depends. But I can still drop by and see you in London," he said. "Forgot you were British," I grinned as he punched he lightly. "Hey," he said as we laughed for a moment, watching the sunset outside Tohsaka mansion. "It has been a crazy few months, hasn't it?" I asked him. "Yeah," he said as he looked at me. "Say, do you wanna go grab a bite tonight. I know the place is still pretty messed up but I can find a place," he said, placing his hand on mine.

"Are you asking me out?" I grinned and he smiled. "Maybe. Possibly," he said as he leaned closer. My breath hitched as he kissed me hard on the mouth and I leaned into the kiss, gripping his shirt tightly. He threatened to remove my shirt but I stopped him, breaking the kiss. "I'm sorry. I can't do this," I said as I got up. He rolled up from the bed and swung his legs over the edge. "You still miss him, don't you?" he said and I nodded. "But, since you're a pretty good kisser, maybe I might give you another shot," I smiled and he grinned, messing up his hair with a free hand. "You're really weird, you know that, Tohsaka?" he said as we laughed.

…..

I walked in the library, running my hand along spines of the books before pulling one out. As I walked over to one of the long tables, I blew the dust away from the cover and turned open the book. The Holy Grail War is a competition that decides the ownership of the Holy Grail through a battle royale. While there have been conflicts about the past Holy Grail wars, it mostly refers to the Masters, proficient magi who summon Servants, powerful familiars who aid them in their quest and they battle to the death until only one Master and Servant pair is left. Seven Servants are summoned in a War and they are split into different categories. They are the Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Assasin, Berserker and Caster classes.

My hand ran along the page where pictures of each Servant was illustrated, running my hand over the Archer picture. "Archer…" I whispered just as a shadow came behind me. I whipped around to see a small girl, her eyes round behind glasses. "Are you Tohsaka Yuki?" she asked, her British accent strong. It took me a while to learn English but I guess I'm getting better at it now. "Yes," I said and she smiled wide, holding out a pen and paper. "Can you sign this?!" she blurted and I smiled, taking it from. It turns out surviving a Grail War turns you into a sort of celebrity around here.

"Thanks so much!" she squealed, bowing low before running out. I ran my hand through my hair, trying to stop myself from smiling as I caught a glimpse of the time. "Oh shit! Its almost time for physical training!" I moaned as I ran out of the library, grateful I was already in my training attire. I slammed my way into the underground training area, people already starting to spar. "You're late," a voice drawled as Gretel Lightbane walked from behind a pillar, her hands glad in gloves and wearing a two piece training suit.

"Sorry," I muttered as I took off my coat. Some of the boys whistled as I peeled off my shirt, revealing a two piece suit that exposed my belly and most of my legs. I pulled my hair into a ponytail and got into position. "Let's go!" she shouted as she slammed into me, her movement enhanced with magic. I muttered a spell under my breath, causing lines to snake along my body and I leaped into the air, narrowly getting smashed by her. "The two hulks are duking out again?" a boy whispered to his companion.

"Don't say that unless you want to get smashed by her!" his friend hissed as Gretel came flying at them, slamming her fist into the pillar. They yelped and fled as the pillar almost came crashing down. I threw my fist at her, yelling as it connected with her. "Yes!" I screamed to myself when she knocked me from under, causing me to fall on my back. As I grunted, she leapt high, her fist raised. I muttered another spell and leaped out of the way, the place where I had stood cracking under her fist.

"Holy shit," I groaned as I held my hands in a particular boxing position. "Let's see if this works," I muttered as she charged at me. As she thrust her arm forward, I ducked, grappling her arm and throwing her down, my arm wrapped around her neck. She wheezed as I grappled her down, sweat dripping from my brow. "That's enough, Tohsaka," a voice came as Rin appeared, a smile on her face. "Awesome work, mate," Gretel grinned as I pulled her up. "Anime never fails you, especially Attack on Titan," I grinned as we patted each other.

"Come on. You didn't forget our little trip, didn't you?" Rin said as I dried myself off with a towel. After I had showered, we hopped onto a bus and it sped off down the road. As I listened to music, I watched as the scenery changed from brick buildings to grassy fields and forests. The mechanical voice called out the name of our destination and we got down, the bus rumbling down the road. "About time," a man said and Shirou appeared, a small basket in his hand.

"Hey Dad," I said as I hugged him tight. We now have a sort of family tradition of meeting up at this place once a year. We sat under a tree, Shirou handing out sandwiches to everyone and we chatted about how things were these past few months. I talked about school while Rin and Shirou talked about the work they had to deal with the Mages Association. As the sun began to set, we walked as one down the hill to where a massive ruin of a building lay.

We walked towards the small plot that lay in the middle of the area, a small sign knocked into the ground. "Here lies King Arthur Pendragon, King of Camelot," the sign read. Shirou knelt down the ground and picked up some of the dirt from the grave, his eyes shining. As he talked to Saber for a while, I looked around me, the trees gently swaying in the breeze. "She must be at peace in such a beautiful place," I said and Rin smiled, putting a hand over my shoulder. We watched as Shirou talked to his lost Servant and lover, his words filled with such love and longing.

"Hey, you do know we're married. Show me more love, Emiya-kun!" Rin snapped as Shirou got up. "Sure. What do you want, Tohsaka?" he grinned and I rolled my eyes. "Why don't you two call each other by your first names?" I wondered as they laughed. "Habits," they both said together and we ended up laughing all the way to the bus station. As I sat in the bus on the way back to Clock Tower, I gazed at the setting sun and gripped the necklace around my throat. "Here, have this. It's a Tohsaka heirloom," Rin said as she put it around my neck.

"I used it to summon Archer didn't I?" I said as I touched it. "Yeah. It was the same for me too," she said as I hugged her tight. "I miss him so much," I whispered as she stroked my head. As I gaze at the sun, I gripped the gem hard. "One day, I'll see you again, Archer," I whispered as we rumbled off into the sunset.

…..

A lone figure walked through the sand dunes, his face covered with a cloth to prevent sand from blinding him. He had a quiver of arrows hidden under his cloak along with a bow. When the wind ceased, he pulled down his mask and gazed at the setting sun. He smiled as it cast an orange glow on him, illuminating his brown skin. "I miss you too, Yuki," Archer smiled as he walked purposefully into the sand.

Thanks for reading this fanfic! I really enjoyed writing about Yuki, Archer, Cal, Rin, Shirou and all the other characters in this story! Catch more of my works at my profile! Thank you once again for reading. As Shadowhunters say when they bid farewell, Ave Atque Vale and until we meet again, sayonara.
