Prologue = A Place Called Home

Unknown Location

In desolate wasteland filled with many swords that stood erected from the ground, a man sat on a rock as he watches the horizon.

He is the Servant Class Archer from the fifth Holy Grail War known as EMIYA, the embodiment of Emiya Shirou ideal to become a hero of justice.

After making a contract with the World known as Alaya, the collective unconsciousness of mankind and the drive for its survival as a whole. He always comes back to this place, ready to be deployed again as Counter Guardian after his death, a payment for making a contract with it.

Suddenly, a portal appeared in front of him. Standing up on alert, he prepared for what is going to come out from it.

The feet came first, then a silhouette of a body can be seen that surprisingly resembles a human. Still on high alert, because no one can enter this place without him allowing it.

After the whole body appeared, ARCHER loosened his stance and sigh because he knows who is this person.

An old man dressed in all black with white gloves and in one of his hand holding a walking cane with a jewel on top of it. He has grey hair and beard with glowing red eyes.

The old man is known as Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg

Wielder of the Second Magic

Kaleidoscope, The Magic that encompasses the Operation of Parallel Worlds

And one of The Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors

Also, a Troll

"What do you want Zelretch?" ARCHER asked nothing good is ever happened when Zelretch is visiting you directly.

Zelretch raised his eyebrows, "What? No hello? How are you? blah, blah, blah, etc, etc?" while grinning ear to ear. ARCHER deadpanned at this.

"Well, the reason is… I'm bored…" as those words came from Zelretch mouth, ARCHER started to launched many swords at him.

Zelretch now laughing out loud as the swords that rain down at him, "You don't have any power or means for trying to exorcise me brat!" the swords gone without a trace when it's just barely millimeters from his body.

"Now, would you stop that? I have an offer for you." Zelretch starts walking leisurely to ARCHER amidst the rain of swords that is being launched to him.

"What kind offer do you have for me?" ARCHER dismissed the sword and crossed his arm while looking Zelretch suspiciously.

Zelretch then dropped the bomb. "I can free you from Alaya contract."

Feeling anger building inside him, "That's bullshit!" ARCHER screamed, "No one can't break out from the contract that's been made with The Alayashiki." Denied ARCHER.

"You know what my power is right?" Counter Zelretch, "I can make it happens." He stated.

"But how you're going to do it?" ARCHER argued back, "My body already gone. Even if you send me there, my soul just disperses and return to Akasha." Said ARCHER that still not convinced.

"By sending you to another Universe, using Kaleidoscope. It will disrupt the connection between you with Alaya," Explained Zelretch. "Sending you to any parallel Dimensions is still no good, because the law of the World, which is Gaia and Alaya, in your case is Alaya." Ponting his finger at ARCHER, "Still going to be forced upon you, who made a contract with it."

When ARCHER thought about what Zelretch explanation, it actually makes sense. From all of his memories, the place and time when he was deployed as the Alaya's Agent, Counter Guardian. He always feels the enforcement of obedient for any Alaya orders.

With Zelretch offer, he can be free from these torments.

"About your body, don't worry, I have already found a vessel that is compatible with your soul to anchor it, so your soul nor your new body will not fail," Zelretch added.

"But why?" ARCHER asked the reason behind Zelretch offer. "Why giving me this offer? What reasons for you doing such length for me?" Having an offer always mean there is always a catch for it. Especially from a Magus, in this case, a Sorcerer.

"The first reason is, that I'm bored." Zelretch grinned, "The second is, someone, is asking me a favor to do this." Zelretch scratched his head, "Actually, that is the last one is actually the main reason."

"Here, let me show you rather than telling it." Holding out a gem, a hologram screen came out.

The screen shows 3 people. 2 beautiful women and a man, which by the looks, they're in their mid-30s.

One woman with long black hair which is let loose down reaching her shoulder, wearing a white blouse, black skirt, and a red coat over it, her name is Tohsaka Rin.

The other woman with blonde hair that is styled into a drill-like shape, wearing a blue dress, her name is Luviagelita Edelfelt.

And the last is a familiar red-haired man who stands tall about few inches from the 2 women. It is his old alternate past self that he desperately wanted to kill, Emiya Shirou.

"Hey idiot, how are you?" Greets Rin.

"I hope you're fine ARCHER," Luvia greets him, "You don't mind if we're calling you ARCHER, right? Because it is weird, calling you EMIYA. While we're also sometimes calling our Shirou with his family name when he misbehaved." Luvia and Rin chuckled together as the only man on the screen sighed at the woman remarks.

"When the 3 of us discussed as for why is Shirou," Rin pointed at the screen that indicates it was meant for ARCHER, "Or in this case is you, is behaving this way." Explained Luvia.

"The first is when Kiritsugu admitted that he is a Magus to you and for you also beg him to teach you how to be a Magus too," When Rin mentioned about this, ARCHER look confused but still remember a long time ago when Kiritsugu admitted himself that he is a Magus when after he adopted him.

He still remembers when he keeps pestering Kiritsugu to teach him to become a Magus. But he eventually relented and teach him.

"The second is when you inherited his Ideal to become an Ally of Justice who will save everyone," Rin's face became solemn at this.

ARCHER recalled the night when he sitting on the porch with Kiritsugu. The turning point of Emiya Shirou's life as he inherited his father Ideals.

"One should not shy away from obtaining power. Because it is necessary to protect, an ant cannot protect an elephant after all." Luvia explained, "But you can't save everyone, not when you're only by yourself." Luvia an Rin smiled sadly, "I hope you understand what it means." Luvia said with hope in her voice.

Then both of them smiled, "The last is, Family," Elaborated Rin. "You don't have anyone to guide you or supporting you or even someone to stand beside you after Kiritsugu died. After all that you've been through, you never ask for help and even distancing yourself from the one who cared for you."

"That's why, we agreed to ask a favor from Zelretch to help us saving you, by giving you a new clean slate," add Rin.

"At least, we know that our Emiya Shirou will not end up becoming like you." Luvia giggled at this with Rin also following her. Both of them nodded to each other then moved away from the screen.

"Hey ARCHER," the only man on the screen who's been silent all this time is started talking "Do you still remember, what we really are?" Then he chuckled, "That's why I'm still going to save you."

Not long, Rin and Luvia came back showing at the screen again, each of them holding a small child looks like at 3 years old.

"Say hello to my daughter, Emiya Tohsaka Maiya." Rin's moving her daughter's hand in waving motion.

"And this is my daughter, Emiya Edelfelt Iri, give uncle a wave Iri." Luvia eagerly pointed in front of her, for her daughter to follow her gesture.

"We still think of you as part of our family, that's why we're doing this. Good luck with your new life," Said Luvia.

Emiya Shirou then came forward, "I still strive to be a Hero even now. And thanks to you, leaving your mark on me, I alter my path and write my own history." He stated as he looks behind at his family.

"I know this feels weird, for giving my own advice to myself. Literally…" Emiya Shirou shakes his head, "But listen."

"You can do it too now, you can write your new own history, forging your own legend, it's yours to make, you're your own man now," said Emiya Shirou.

"I am Shirou, and you are too…" Emiya Shirou shakes his head, "No… He's the two of us, together…" Closing his eyes, "Carry that wherever you go." Then taking a deep breath.

"Thank you… Brother."

"From here on out," Emiya Shirou opened his eyes with determination looks, "You're Shirou." With those last words, the screen is gone.

ARCHER shook his head feeling like a fool who denied himself that no matter what, he is still Emiya Shirou. Clenching his fist with new determination, he looks at Zelretch who smiled a genuine smile, not his usual loony smile, "When do we depart?" he asked.

"Right now." He raised his cane but stopped, then he's now grinning ear to ear, "By the way, before we go." ARCHER feeling dread in his stomach, "I will need to strip you of your Magic Circuits because can't have the Alaya's there recognize your Signature." Zelretch taps his cane on the ground, then many chains shot out binding ARCHER with.

"Your Magic Circuits is empowered by Alaya," Zelretch stated then putting his cane oh ARCHER's chest. "And for that, we must purge Alaya influence in it by removing your Circuits."

"Wait, wait, wait, time out!" ARCHER wiggling from his bind in futile then felt something on his stomach. Looking down, he saw Zelretch cane is already a few inches inside his body.

Then in instant unbearable pain surging through his body.

With crackling of red electricity on ARCHER's body, he thrashed around in his bind with a scream of agony escaping from his mouth. For almost a minute Zelretch pull out his cane.

When the pain subsided, the chains unbind itself, dropping ARCHER on the ground.

Panting heavily on the ground ARCHER felt a hand pulled his hair to see Zelretch grinning face, "Fuck. You. Zelretch."

"I'd rather not," Jokes Zelretch and showing up a gem. "And swallow this," then he chugs it on ARCHER mouth before he can protest.

Gagging at the indigestible materials entering his throat, ARCHER grimaced for remembering a long time ago when had to swallow one of Rin's gem to force open his Circuits.

He still has occasional cramps for almost a year for that.

Zelretch stands up and brushed his clothes, "Now that we are done with that." He raised his cane then tap the ground as a portal formed beneath ARCHER.

"ROOT DAMNIT, ZELRETCH!" angry shouts can be heard as ARCHER's falling down on the hole.

"Still got it." Zelretch grinned as he also walks away to another portal that formed beside him.

HOSPITAL

Inside a room at a hospital, a nurse is checking on a patient with many kinds of life supports attached to him.

"Urgh." A rasped voice startled the nurse when she saw her patient stirred awake.

"w-wa-ter."

She quickly goes to the water jug on top of a small table near the bed pouring the water on a glass, then helps the boy sits to drink it. "Drink slowly," the boy accepted the water and drink greedily. When the boy already finished the water, she put the glass back on the table, "I'll go get the doctor." Then She ran outside.

The boy just about to asked why is he in the hospital before the nurse is already running outside for the doctor. Slumping back to his bed, the boy checking his surroundings. The smell of antiseptic, the white themed room, suddenly cringed when he feels the pain surging through his body.

"Why in the Roots name my body aches so much," the boy groans then look at his own reflection at the window then widened his eyes at what the reflection shows.

Even when being covered by bandages, the reflection shows a young boy which looks like an elementary student with grey eyes and white hair.

"How in the Roots name that I look like a child again?!" The boy screamed.

A clicking sound from the door stopped him from any rants that are going to come out from the boy's mouth when a doctor and the nurse from before came in.

The doctor came to him first to check on him, "It seems you're recovering just fine," the doctor nods at this. "Still feeling any pain?" he asked.

The boy nod at this, "Yes, my chest still hurts when I tried to breathe deeply." The boy explained.

After doing more test that makes the boy feels uncomfortable, the doctor nod, "It seems you're healing just fine, do you need something else boy?" The doctor half stated, half asked.

"Ah, there is someone that wanted to talk to you," the doctor said then an old man came in.

The boy looks at the old man has a wrinkled but giving off a strong aura as a warrior with that look from his eyes. He has long grey hair that tied in a ponytail and wearing silver theme color traditional kimono.

"Please leave us, nurse, the doctor will stay," the man ordered with authorities lacing voice.

The nurse nods her head, then get out from the room.

When the nurse got out, the boy and the old man are having a staring contest. The doctor there started to feel uncomfortable with this.

Blinking his eyes to breaking out the contest, the laughed. "You have a strong spirit boy," the old man just kept laughing and the boy sweat dropped from the remarks.

After the laughter dies, the old man cough in his hand. "Now, let me introduce myself. My name is Kirigaya Sousuke, it is nice to meet you." the old man named Sousuke to bow in his introduction.

"Nice to meet you, my name is…" The boy suddenly stopped in mid-sentence then closed his eyes, making Sousuke and the doctor worried, but curious about the boy name is.

The doctor looked troubled when the boy still didn't answer, "Are you feeling alright boy? Are you feeling dizzy right now?" the doctor asked because there is also bandage wrapped around his head.

"From here on out. You're Shirou."

The boy remembers those word playing in his mind then opened his eyes, "Shirou." The boy introduced himself.

Sousuke smiled at the boy, "So that's the name of my granddaughters' savior."

"Can't let them know that I'm from another Universe, they will think I'm crazy and sending me to the mental hospital," thought Shirou.

Then the doctor asked another question, "Do you have any numbers for any family that we can call? I believe they will be worried about their son is missing a few days."

"Damn Zelretch not telling me anything about this Universe, better not asking if there is Fuyuki City." As he shook his head. "I'm sorry?" Shirou titled his head in feigned confusion, "What do you mean by saving your granddaughters Sousuke-san?" and pressed further because he also didn't know what happened to this body before waking up in it. "And why am I in hospital at the first place?"

Sousuke and the doctor looking at each other, confusing Shirou with their action. Then both of them nods, the doctor then looking at Shirou. "Shirou-kun, you're being admitted here because you've got a traffic accident with a speeding truck."

"That's why all my body is aching so much," grimaced Shirou.

Then Sousuke stepped closer to Shirou, "If it was my granddaughters who got hit, they will not survive that accident, by looking at those injured that you suffered." His voice laced with sorrow. "Eyewitnesses said when they're about to get hit, a boy is running at them then jumped over to pushed them out from the harm's way."

"So, the previous owner of this body also reckless," Shirou thought with sweat dropped as it reminds him of his old days. "Wait, what do you mean they will not survive?" He asked back.

"I will be blunt here Shirou-Kun, so don't panic." said the doctor. "When we put you on the operating table to treat your injuries, your heart stops beating for 3 times. You should have been in a coma for a long time. It's been a month, that you admitted here." Explained the doctor as tame as possible, because of his patient age.

"That's why I am here to say my deepest gratitude to you. By extensions, your family. For saving my granddaughters lives, you can ask whatever you wanted." Sousuke bowed deeply to the boy.

"There's no need to bow, Sousuke-san." Shirou tried to move but feeling another pain. Sousuke looks up, knowing that the boy will demand something from him, prepared for any kind of compensations that would be paid to the boy and his family.

"I accept your gratitude, and I only ask for one thing." Then he smiled at him. "Tell me Sousuke-san, are both your granddaughters are fine?"

"They're fine and healthy, and not even any scratch on them," Said Sousuke, still not don't understand why the boy asking this.

"That is good enough for me," Shirou nodded.

"B-but surely your family-" Shocked that the boy only wanted from him is about his granddaughter conditions.

"I don't have any family." Sousuke stopped in mid-sentence when the Shirou said that. Shirou then look at the doctor, "Isn't that right doctor?" he asked.

"Yes," the doctor reply curtly.

Shirou looks at the scenery at the window. "I've been all by myself since I could remember," he looks down at his hands, "I don't remember having any parent, either knowing their faces or names. Even I'm not sure if Shirou is my own name."

"Please, buy it. Please, but it." Shirou chanted. Because what he said it's the truth, he didn't know this owner previous body life. Heck, even in his previous Universe he didn't know his birth parent either. "Thank Roots for not giving Emiya name or they will start looking around for any records that maybe will not showing up."

"But It does surprise me if a child like you didn't leave any record," the doctor said, "Are you been avoiding any authorities since then?" the doctor inquired with narrowed eyes.

"Crap, crap, crap." Shirou averted his eyes, looking for any excuse for the answer. Because he didn't count his distinct appearance of having white hair and dark skin is easy to recognize. Then reluctantly slumped his head down because he can't find any. "Yes"

"Can't believe the authorities with how advanced technologies and information for having a slip up in these days and age," the doctor muttered. "I will contact local authorities to prepared any citizenship record for you and from your physical appearance, I can assume that you should at least 7 years old now," then he starts writing on the clipboard.

"Call the nurse if you feel or need anything, I shall attend to another patient." After saying that, the doctor put down his clipboard he walked towards the door.

"Well, I must excuse now. The visiting hour is almost over." Said Sousuke as he also walked towards the door, "I will visit you again Shirou-kun."

Shirou nodded then slump back to his bed and returned to sleep.

Kirigaya Residence

Inside a Japanese style room, Kirigaya Sousuke is sitting at one side of the low table, on the other side is a woman. Both of them is in a discussion.

"Are you sure this is a wise choice, father?" the woman asked.

"I'm sure it is," Sousuke replied without a beat.

The woman sighs at this, "But why go this far? While I have no objection about this." The woman reasoned.

Sousuke looked at his daughter-in-law's eye, "From my experience as a former policeman, he's suffering a survivor guilt." The woman gasped at this. "When I offer him anything that he wants, his only desire is knowing if both Kazuha and Suguha is fine," he explained.

"He has no one but himself. So, he doesn't care if he's hurt, as long someone else is not." The woman looks more sadden at this "Because I know, deep down he's just lonely soul, and a child too." Sousuke finished his explanation

"That is why I'm asking for you to agree with this." Pleaded Sousuke.

"Alright, father." The woman curt reply.

"Besides, both Kazuha and Suguha need another man figure." He stated and stand up leaving the room, "That useless son of mine is off doing something only gods know what it is and rarely shows himself in this house." Sousuke grumbled but loud enough for his daughter-in-law hears it.

The woman just laughed awkwardly as his father-in-law exiting the room.

Year 2014, Month July, Days 7

After various check-up and many tests that been given to Shirou for almost a week, the doctor said he can be discharged today. As long as he didn't put any strenuous stress on his body.

Also, the old man, Kirigaya Sousuke didn't visit him as he said at their first meeting.

Who the hell, would want to stay too long at the hospital? Only if you have any nurses' fetish. But he still got the chill when some of the nurses is staring at him with those eyes of theirs.

"I don't even remember when the last time getting into the hospital. Having healing Magecraft or Avalon sure is handy," then sighed, "Better be careful now that I don't have any both of it for me to used." Because Zelretch already stripped him of his Magic Circuits and the chance of this body having Avalon is close to none.

"The doctor said someone is picking me up at the entrance," Shirou give a clearance pass to the front desk lady, which she nodded that he's clear to go, "Apparently, this person is also the one who's paying all my medical bills," he smiled at the lady and walked to the entrance. "Better not to make this person waits."

He is surprised to see Kirigaya Sousuke is standing at the entrance, "Sousuke-san?"

"Come, Shirou. Let's not waste more time," Sousuke beckoned Shirou to follow him into a taxi that waiting behind him.

Shirou just get in, because he didn't have any possession on him beside the clothes that he's wearing now. And it's also a gift from the doctor because his old clothes are discarded for having many cuts and tears, even the bloodstains.

The taxi drove in silence, Sousuke didn't say anything. Even when Shirou is asking about their destination he just said to wait and see it for himself.

Without anything to do, Shirou just watching scenery outside the window passes by. As his mind wandering around, a sudden jolt breaking him out from his daydreaming, showing that the taxi has stopped in front of a residence in the suburbs area.

Seeing Kirigaya Sousuke getting out from the taxi, he saw the old man gesturing him to following him. As he walked into the residence, that has a familiar feel like his old Emiya Residence back then, of course, a little bit smaller than his old residence.

Still, not a word has been spoken, both of them entering the house.

The inside of the house giving cozy feels for Shirou. When Sousuke open another door leading him inside a joint between kitchen and living room, he can see a woman is cooking in the kitchen.

"We're home." Sousuke's greeting, breaking their attention from the tv.

The woman turns her head, "Oh, welcome home father." The woman turns off the stove and addresses them fully.

"Let me introduce you to my daughter-in-law, Kirigaya Midori." Sousuke introduced the woman.

Shirou stares at the woman which looks like in her early 30s. she has brown hair that styled into a bun with brown eyes. Then he bows, "My name is Shirou, nice to meet you Midori-san." He introduces.

"My, what a polite young man." Midori bends down and pats his head much to his embarrassment.

"Where are Kazuha and Suguha?" Sousuke asked.

Midori stands up, "They're at the dojo, practicing," she answered, "Can you please call them father? Lunch is almost ready." Sousuke nodded and leave.

"Do you need help Midori-san?" Shirou asked, hoping that he can cook again. He hasn't cooked for a long time.

"No, I'm almost done. You can go with father calling my daughters." Shirou looks dejected by this then following Sousuke to the dojo, but can't find him.

Then he remembered another building inside the residence that he presumed as the dojo, he goes there to find Sousuke.

"Sousuke-san, are you in he-" Shirou opened the door and froze at the sight in front of him.

Two girls which look like his age is in the middle stripping off their kendo gears.

One of them is a girl with black hair that reaches her shoulder and matching color for her eyes. And the other girl has short black hair and green eyes. Both of them already in the middle of changing their clothes.

And the girls realized that a white-haired boy is watching them in the middle of changing.

With obvious reaction, they screamed. "Hentai!" covering their tops and threw their shinai at him, with precisions that surprised Shirou as he could see where it's aimed at.

Shirou immediately bends his knees to crouch down, as the first shinai flew over him. Using his heel to spin 180 degrees he reaches out to catch the first shinai, then spins again to perfect 360 degrees to bats away the second incoming shinai.

The audiences are silent because of the action, as Shirou himself look sheepish then scratch his head out of habit because of nervous at the attention he gets.

Suddenly he is being surrounded by the girls with a star in their eyes looking in awe, "That was so cool!" they chorused.

"How did you do it?"

"Could you teach us?"

Shirou's turns his head to the side, "Umm… Can you both please get dressed first?" trying not to look at their attire.

Realizing at their attire with blush and embarrassed faces, both of them jumped away and slammed closed the door on his face.

"Oh, you're here Shirou-kun?" Sousuke asked as he walked towards him. "I just use the restroom a little bit, and you're gone from the living room."

The door then opened as the two girls from before and ran towards Sousuke, "Jii-chan!" both of them hug the man.

The old man laughed and hug them, "You both been practicing since morning?"

"Yes!" the answer make Sousuke swell with pride.

"By the way, have you both met Shirou-kun here?" Sousuke asked while pointing his hand at him.

Both girls are giving Shirou suspicious looks and he started sweating bullets, "Yes we did."

Sousuke confused at this but shrugged, "Well, let's get inside first, Midori is done with cooking by now." He beckoned the children to follow him.

The suspicious stare still keeps on Shirou as he awkwardly keeps the distance from the girls. Even during and after lunch, their stare is not diminished.

"Jiiiiii"

"Um…" Shirou only intelligent reply at the stares.

Sousuke coughed, "Now, it's time for you two to introduce yourself, girls." Sousuke nudges his granddaughter.

"My name is Kirigaya Suguha, nice to meet you." The short-haired girl introduces herself but the stares still remained.

"My name is Kirigaya Kazuha." The long-haired girl introduces herself with coldness in her voice.

"M-my name is S-shirou, just Shirou." He introduced awkwardly, "A-and I'm s-sorry from before." He bows his head.

Both girls blushed at the last event then glared fiercely, while the adults raised their eyebrows in confusions.

"Why is the hentai-san here Jii-chan?" Kazuha pointed her finger at Shirou, and Suguha just blushed and nodded because she's also confused and embarrassed about the event.

Shirou flinched at the accusation, but he also wanted to know why is he here because Sousuke never mentioned why. "Indeed, why Sousuke-san? You never tell me anything."

"Hentai?" Sousuke confused but smirked. "But this hentai here," Shirou slumped his head at the table, "Is the one who that both of you called 'hero' whom you both wanted to meet for the past month?"

Both Kazuha and Suguha looked shocked then shyly apologize at Shirou "We're sorry."

"It's fine no one was hurt anyway." Shirou sheepishly replied.

Sousuke coughed again to change the atmosphere, "From now on, Shirou is going to live here with us." Now Shirou is the one who shocked hearing this.

"Please wait, Sousuke-san," Shirou raised his hand. "What do you mean by that? Are you telling me to stay here with your family?"

"Exactly as I said," Sousuke nods.

"But, you don't need to do this. I don't want to intrude your family." Shirou argued.

"You're not intruding anyone here. We would love for you to live with us." Midori replied, then looked at their daughters. "Aren't that right girls?"

"But it's just too much, I can't accept all of this," Shirou still argued.

"Why are you still refused for staying here?" Asked Kazuha with tears almost fall.

"Do you hate me and Onee-chan for attacking you earlier?" Suguha mirroring Kazuha.

"Urk." Shirou grimaced seeing both girls' expression. "First they wanted to get rid of me then they wanted me to stay here. Are all young girls always bipolar? Or is it just them?" He lamented.

Sousuke saw his granddaughter sad expression then slammed the table, "Boy! I paid all your medical expense, and it's not cheap." His face contorted in anger. "When I said you can ask anything from me, but you only wanted if my granddaughters are safe." Shirou wanted to argue but Sousuke continued. "And by that, the debt is done, and now you owe me, boy!" He pointed his finger at Shirou.

"Fine then, I will wind a job and pay you back in full." Shirou reasoned. "How much did I owe you?" he asked in agitation.

"What you owe me is," Sousuke expression soften, "Become a man that both Kazuha and Suguha can depend upon, and join this family."

After saying that, Sousuke pulls out a paper then he gave to Shirou to read it which shocked him to his core.

"I… I…" The words lost in his mouth.

"The last is, Family,"

"Welcome home, Kirigaya Shirou." Sousuke and Midori spoke.

"Welcome home, Onii-chan/Onii-sama." Kazuha and Suguha beamed.

"You don't have anyone to guide you or supporting you or even someone to stand beside you after Kiritsugu passed away. After all, you've been through, you never once ask for help and even distancing yourself from the one who cared for you."

Remembering those words from Rin, he felt something warm running down his cheek, noticing that he's crying. Wiping his face, he looked at them with a grateful smile. "Yes… I'm home."

Then all of them huddled in family's hug as the paper leaving Shirou's hand with something that's been written on it.
