Chapter 10: The Conclusion

It had been a few days since the group fought the evil dragon and now they were on a trek, summoned by the king himself. Of course this king was none other than Michael Winchester. The group talked for days about the events that occurred while in battle, most never daring to do anything that remotely dangerous. For some it gave them strength, while others it brought peace but for K it brought a torn feeling.

He hadn't talked much in the last few days, merely sitting close by and smoking on a cigarette with a face riddled in deep thought. And now as they walked out of hiding and slowly came upon the town before the big castle, K fell behind everyone.

There was one person though, that could see what was wrong with K. Yuki could read it as if his therapist told him so. K was having issues about seeing his own demise…well not his own but his "other". What it must have been like seeing his son all grown up and crying over his dead father, Yuki would never know. So putting aside his rough exterior Yuki let everyone walk ahead. He dug out his last two cigarettes; thank god he'd brought a full pack.

"If I had a glass of scotch to offer you I would but here," Yuki said and handed the fellow blonde the smoke.

K took it gratefully and cast Yuki an odd look, "What do you want?"

"How do you know I want something?" Yuki chuckled and lit his smoke; he inhaled with a happy sigh. "I only thought we could talk."

Almost choking K grabbed the lighter from Yuki, "Us, talk? I have nothing to say right now."

"Exactly, the man that always has some dumb comment doesn't want to talk. Doesn't that strike you as strange?" Yuki teased as K narrowed his eyes at him. "I have an idea of what you're going through, death it isn't easy…and it's gotta be pretty fucked up watching someone that looks like yourself, die."

K only took a harsh drag on his cigarette. "But it wasn't me…"

"No, but I imagine it feels like you committed suicide or something hmm? Personally I don't want to see my look-alike again. I don't want to know what he does here and if he lives with Shuichi or anything. It's just too fucked up," Yuki told K.

They were getting looks from the bunch up ahead but Yuki ignored them. Soon they were walking up the main road past many houses in repair. Many townsfolk looked on like they were seeing aliens traipsing on by, but some waved warmly.

K laughed at that, "Yes it's fucked up."

"Look you might have a few screws loose but even you would never consort to those kinds of actions like your double, so forget it. You have a son back home that is really yours and probably misses his father more than you know," Yuki said thoughtfully.

K looked over at Yuki contemplatively. Heh, for once the man made sense. K knew he was right; he was letting all this get to him too much. Maybe he just needed to be free of here and return home, where things were at least half more normal than this place.

"Thanks," K muttered, watching up ahead where Hiro and Shuichi were talking quietly. He saw how handsome Hiro was, how he crested his eyes when he was laughing, how waved his hand embarrassed when Shuichi said something that made Hiro blush, and K laughed at how he barked at his friend who was now saying something that pissed off the guitarist. Best friends, K thought casting Yuki another look. He too was watching his partner and K wondered what he was thinking. From the look on his face, K imagined it wasn't far from what he was thinking about Hiro. They narrowed their eyes at each other continued to the castle gates.

"Yuki, Shuichi?" went a voice as they passed by.

Yuki looked for the person that called his name. "Heya Marcus and Charlotte," Yuki said. Shuichi waved happily at the couple and looked back at Yuki.

"Is it true? The king is really dead? I know there are celebrations but it's so hard to believe that it's really true," said the lumberjack and the group paused just outside the gate.

Shuichi nodded and Yuki said coolly in English, "Yup we ended his miserable life."

"You know these people?" Sakano asked Shuichi, looking at the two with questions.

"They saved our lives the first day we were here," the singer told Sakano.

"We wanted to apologize for rushing you out…it was unacceptable," went Charlotte, still wearing her woollen type dress with a travelling pinafore.

"What can you do, if it were the other way around I'd probably do the same," Yuki pointed out, shrugging. "Forget about it."

As a nice gesture Charlotte handed Yuki a corked bottle, compliments of her husband's homemade distillery. "For the journey home," she said.

This got a smile from Yuki's face as he took the bottle. He then bowed and lifted Charlottes hand to place a kiss on it. "Now this is the kind of apology I accept," Yuki quipped, also making sure to shake Marcus's hand.

They waved goodbyes and continued on their way.

"Remember that drink I said I'd give you if I had it?" asked Yuki as he pulled the cork out of the bottle with his teeth.

K nodded and Yuki thrust the bottle in his hands.

"I would advise no smoking while near this stuff," Yuki smirked and watch K take a sip.

Everyone looked on as K swallowed a mouthful of moonshine.

K's eyes shot open. "Thanks…" he croaked and handed the bottle back to Yuki quickly.

They all sniggered.

Entering the assembly hall, all eyes landed on Michael the new king. The place was packed full of knights and nobles that lived around the castle. But Michael even opened the castle doors to the townsfolk, so there were also many commoners among them as well.

People spread apart, allowing the group that had saved their kingdom to pass. Some murmured thanks, while others pointed and spoke to each other in excited whispers. When they neared Michael who was all dressed in black, with his blonde hair braided behind his back, they all bowed.

"Welcome saviours and friends," Michael said warmly. "As you can see already your actions have brought a festive feeling among the din. This celebration is not only for me becoming the rightful hire to the throne but for you as well. Without you we would not be able to celebrate at all."

The group stood up and nodded. They didn't know what to say.

"I offer you my humble apologies and welcome you to rest and feast with us tonight. Your journey to the portal home will take at least a day's time. I have a room for each of you ready with baths and fresh clothes. Please accept my offer," suggested Michael, standing up and walking closer to the group.

Everyone discussed the option of staying especially after hearing that the portal home was a day's journey away, they agreed to stay one more night. What was the rush now? What would an extra day hurt?

"Alright we will stay," K claimed.

"Excellent," Michael said and over their heads he announced to the crowd that the celebrations would begin at sundown.

The crowd cheered and streamers were shot into the air along with handfuls of confetti. Everyone smiled at the happiness surrounding them. Finally the kingdom was free of tyranny. A whole new life awaited them, under Michael's rule. They had no other reason to think that only greater things would come with their new king.

Most of the townsfolk left to prepare for tonight and servants milled about setting things up. The knights all saluted and in military form, filed out of the assembly hall. The nobles bowed, sweeping their hand in front of them dramatically and bid adieu to the king.

Hiro noticed the red and gold pennants were no where to be seen, "Michael I see that your flags are all gone."

"Of course Hiro, there shall be no reminder of my father left to dishearten my kingdom. From now on, this will be the new emblem," Michael said and snapped his fingers. A man with a grease pencil and a rolled piece of paper came forward. "Edward, please show our honorary guests the new pennant emblem."

The tall thin man, with a ruddy face eagerly unrolled his paper. Everyone looked on. Hiro knew right away what he was looking at, "The True Love symbol," he looked at his hand then.

Softly Michael smiled, "Indeed, everyone will remember your heroics Hiro and your friends as well. I heard what happened in the final battle." Michael sighed. "Your heart saved your friends lives and it saved our kingdom. Thank you." This time Michael bowed to Hiro.

Hiro waved his hand in modesty, "It was nothing really."

Everyone snorted.

"Hiro if it weren't for you we'd all still be popsicles," Shuichi reminded his best friend.

"Man, that is something I never want to go through again," Suguru declared fighting the urge to shiver.

All nodded in agreement.

"I have one question," K spoke up. "The night we escaped the castle, where did that samurai come from?" he asked.

Pulling up a long sleeve of his black doublet beautifully covered in silver beads, Michael showed the rune symbol on the back of his right hand. "The Blue Gate rune," he said, "It has the power to summon ancient warriors as big as giants. The night you went to rescue Hiro, I went in hunt of my rune. Surely as predictable as my father was, I found it hidden in his study. Easily it became part of me again and I was able to buy you time and distract the guards around the castle." Michael laughed, "Its dangerous summoning those warriors, they cause such destruction. But thanks to the destruction in my father's chambers I am having it rebuilt into a balcony terrace."

Hiro and K chuckled at that, remembering the room was practically gutted out.

"Well no hard feelings about that," Hiro quipped.

Sakano stepped forward timidly, "I wonder if we get to keep these runes?"

It was a question everyone wanted an answer to and Michael looked at them all carefully. "The runes belong to you…or if you wish you can have them removed. I will summon a runemaster if you so wish to take off your rune. You must remember though, bearing a True rune will allow you to live forever. Disease will never ail you and your rune protects you against death from most injuries, except of course magical injury. If you decide to give up it up, then your rune will find its next host," the king explained. With an unreadable expression Michael looked at Hiro, "As for you Hiro…I failed to mention that you can't remove your love rune…"

"What?!" Hiro questioned, cutting off Michael. He wasn't sure he wanted to live forever.

"Like true love, your rune will only stay faithful to one host, forever. You and it are tied together with unbreakable bonds. If you were to die, then the True Love rune would surly die too," Michael cast his eyes away, "I'm sorry you don't have any other options." To the rest he said, "Please think carefully about keeping the runes, now go rest and relax for later."

Everyone was quiet; they were all eyeing Hiro silently. At first the idea of being alive forever was awesome! But as the prospect of living on and on through the ages crossed their minds, some weren't sure they wanted to live forever. But Hiro didn't have a choice. They were all shown their own rooms. And for once the castle seemed much more welcoming than the last time. No one felt any threat and each was free to go where they wished.

Hiro shut his door quietly behind him. He looked around his old guest room. Once again he was here and his mind was in turmoil. Live forever? Forever was an extremely long time he thought and sighed heavily. The fire still giving him slight comfort, Hiro sat next to it and fought with his mind. But no sooner had he sat down, a knock came to his door.

Without asking, Hiro knew who it was. But he didn't move from his perch by the fire. He didn't even look up when K entered his room, his shadow looming over him. But K sat down next to him. Together they silently watched the fire, saying nothing for quite some time. But Hiro was the one that broke the silence.

"I don't want to live forever alone," Hiro whispered his grey eyes flickering up to look at K.

K studied Hiro for a moment before replying, "Who said you had to?"

The guitarist blinked, "But…I don't expect you to want to live forever K."

"That's not your choice, its mine…"

"But…"

"Remember the bigger and grander scheme Hiro?" K said softly, reaching out to cup Hiro's face with his hand, thumbing over the ridge of his cheekbone. "I told you I was always up for that."

Hiro watched K's eyes carefully for false promises but he saw none. "K…I…I really don't want to live forever without you," he said over a shaky breath.

It was the sweetest feeling K ever had hearing Hiro say that. And he told him with all his heart, "I belong with you Hiro…forever."

Time felt like it paused until they both embraced quickly, holding onto each other warmly.

"I want to go home," Hiro sighed over K's shoulder.

"We're home…as long as we're together we're home."

"K…" went Hiro his voice barely a whisper. It was the most romantic thing he'd ever heard. Hiro pulled back and asked, "Why is it that you never show this side of yourself in front of everyone?"

K allowed himself a tiny smirk, "Hiro, people only see what they want to see. Never judge a book by its cover, you should know that." Then he laughed and said, "How do you think I ever manage to find number one bands? I read the whole book…Hiroshi Nakano."

He almost came undone when K said his name all slow and sexy like. "I knew there was much more to you then a dumb blonde," Hiro said teasingly and audaciously he grabbed hold of K's hand, "I want you to feel something."

The blonde's eyes widened thinking Hiro was going to be dirty, his eyes went directly to Hiro's crotch.

Hiro let out an airy laugh, "Not that. This," he said and guided K's hand to the fire.

"Whoa!" K yelped, "Are you trying to brand me or something?"

"Trust me Claude," Hiro spoke daringly, "Let your fingers play in the flames…you won't burn as long as I'm touching you."

K quirked an eyebrow at hearing his real name and asked, "Swear not to let go?"

"I'll never let go," Hiro promised.

A goofy sweet smile found K's face and closing his eyes he dared to reach into the fire. Gritting his teeth with instinctive fear, K only felt wonderful warmth. Cracking open an eye he watched as his own fingers got licked by orange flames. "It doesn't hurt," he chuckled now and ran a flatten hand over the fire, "Amazing."

"You know what else is amazing?" Hiro asked a little mischievously.

K shook his head, "What?"

"You're sharing your magic too, you know. And I can sense your pheromones and they're making me super horny," Hiro said gently kissing along K's neck.

Sigh, K almost felt like he was melting into a puddle. He stood held out his hand, "Come let me solve your problem then."

Hiro giggled and took his hand.

With a sexy growl K picked him up and tossed him onto the bed. As K crawled over him he said, "I'm so glad to be home."

"I never knew your bedroom was such a mess Hiro, I thought you to be much neater than this," K laughed and threw a stray sock onto the floor and off the bed. But it didn't stop him from kissing Hiro's throat and jaw, in his mission to make sweet, sweet love to Hiro.

"Yea well that's the life of a bachelor…"

"Was Hiro, it was the life," snickered K as he sucked along the ripe salty skin on the guitarists shoulder.

Hiro smiled as K unrobed him, yes that's right he is no longer a bachelor. And he was no longer in that weird kingdom, he was home in Japan. They'd been home for a week and today they were supposed to be packing Hiro's stuff. K and he decided to move into a new apartment together. But before they left the other world they had had their party in the castle, which was fun but really everyone just wanted to go home. The day's journey led them to a farmer's field. And who else should it be, that turned out to be the farmer? Hiro's double, his other.

"I can't believe my other was a farmer," Hiro said over the sighs he was giving K for the kisses.

K paused and looked at Hiro, "And I can't believe my other was a three headed dragon. I'd gladly have the farmer."

They grinned and then kissed, "We not going to get this place packed like this," Hiro murmured over the kiss.

K paused, "But it's been so hectic with everyone bombing us with questions and having to assure my son that I'm ok." He ground his erection against Hiro's. "Now I finally have you all to myself, please let me have you?" K pleaded, a small whine escaping him.

How could Hiro resist? It had been a harrowing week, doing all those press conferences. Explaining the tale they were all told to tell. That they'd gone into hiding cause they were shooting a super secret video. Tohma had been more relieved to know everyone was ok then angry. But the president was surprised though when Sakano broke down and cried as he clung to his legs. Everyone heaved a huge sigh of relief when K gave them a few days off. They all wanted to see family or just get away for a little while, to imprint the very fact that they were really home.

Hiro didn't say anything he just pulled on K's tie and brought the blonde's head closer, close enough so he could lick around K's ear and nip at his lobe. His lover groaned at that and he let Hiro continued to unleash licks and love bites around K's jaw, making the man purr.

But wanting to give back the same pleasure K sat up and removed Hiro's shirt, and then leaning back down to circle his tongue around two pink nipples. Each gentle tug with his teeth, made Hiro's mouth open in a silent cry.

"Mmm, making love to you feels like the most natural thing in the world," K said in a whisper.

Smiling softly Hiro reached out to unbutton K's white shirt, fingers releasing each button carefully. He pushed the material back and left K topless, and then smoothing his hands down the blonde's chest. "I like touching you K," Hiro murmured, sitting up to face his lover. Now K was straddling him. "You know I wonder if you let me take you, if you might share my love rune. What I wouldn't give to see my wings on you," Hiro divulged and let his fingers play over K's back.

K wasn't sure what to say for a few breaths. "Think you can handle a man like me?" K said with a tight smirk. He wasn't totally against the idea of letting Hiro bury himself inside his body. Although he did have a different game plan for this afternoon but maybe it'd feel good. K wanted Hiro to feel good so he said, "Alright…but I wanna be on top."

"Whatever you want K," Hiro assured with heightened excitement. He really couldn't believe how easy that was, he was sure K would have put up a fuss. There really were so many angles to the American then he ever let on. Hiro was almost shivering with fanatical thrill and crushed his lips to K's, threading his fingers into golden locks. Hands spread open, holding K's head possessively, Hiro kissed his man.

K opened his mouth, inviting Hiro's tongue to explore inside. Luring Hiro in, K captured his lover's kiss and sealed their mouths together. Hands gripping and touching, their tongues danced. Soon K found his fingers in Hiro's hair, running the mass of reddish tendrils over his tips. But K yanked the hair back and broke their wet kiss, causing Hiro's throat to expose itself. He felt like a vampire about to sink his teeth into a sweet pulsing vein, but he licked over Hiro's jugular with a flat tongue. "So sweet," he purred his nose buried behind Hiro's ear. He growled lightly as the guitarists scent filled his being. "I could solve the mystery of the pheromone theory, write a book, tell the world how sexy Hiroshi is," K said devilishly as kissed across Hiro's face.

Hiro only murmured something inaudible in response and pushed K back. Running his hands up clothed thighs, nosing over K's hard cock, Hiro made his way to the blonde's navel. He brushed his face against the fine blonde hair there that trailed seductively under his belt. Hiro let his tongue trail up and encircle K's bellybutton and back down. Looking over a heaving chest, Hiro smiled before he took K's belt in his teeth. Slowly he pulled the leather through the belt loop, and barring his teeth he yanked until it came away from the pin. Removing the belt from the next obstacle, Hiro let his tongue tease over the rim of K's pants.

"If you keep this up, I'm going to cream my pants before you get them off," K said breathlessly and reached down. One, two, three, he snapped open the button and undid his zipper. "Gawd, don't make me wait any longer."

Hiro snickered, K was so brazen sometimes. "So impatient," teased Hiro.

"Oh don't get me wrong, don't stop what you're doing…you sexy thing. You're just driving me mad but I love it," K explained and dropped his head back, "You have no idea how much I love it."

That was good enough for Hiro and he decided to completely remove K's pants and underwear. He pulled them down long legs and pulled off his socks all in one shot. Hiro ran his hands over K's legs stopping to kiss each knee; he spotted some old scars, "Did you roller skate as a kid or something?" Hiro wondered.

"Is this all part of your method for ultimate seduction Hiro?" K laughed at the question. It was really cute and K didn't expect Hiro to notice that kind of stuff right now. "Not exactly roller skates Hiro," K chuckled at that, "Just a lot of rough work I used to do. Remember we have a LOT of time to discover things about each other."

Laughing Hiro nodded, yes they did. They had for all eternity.

Continuing up, Hiro decided to add a little more spice to his pleasure tactics. He boldly spread K's legs and tongued up his crack.

"Woo!" K clamoured.

Ignoring him, Hiro laid siege on K's nether regions. He licked his shaft, mouthed his sack and tongued his entrance. He had K sighing happily and gripping into his hair. Grabbing at the lube that was in his nightstand, Hiro thanked some invisible force for letting them actually be at home again. Yes lube, he really missed it he thought as he wet his fingers and warned K what he was about to do.

The blonde murmured a small ok, but he didn't look down to watch. Hiro understood and boldly went where no man has gone before. K tensed at first but Hiro was gentle and he told K some sweet things to relax him. Soon he heard K groaning euphorically in his throat. It encouraged Hiro more and he added another finger. Inside was so slick and he felt that nerve rubbing over his knuckle. Hiro twisted his fingers around to press against the nerve and K cried out.

Hiro gulped and squeezed his legs together, he really liked submissive K. And his needy cry almost made Hiro lose it. "That's it K don't hold back, I wanna know how you feel."

"I feel fucking good but I want something more," K demanded sitting up and watched Hiro wiggle out of his pants and underwear. The guitarist knew what was next, sitting on the bed, waiting. K let his eyes travel over Hiro's naked body and picked up the lube. He added some to his hand, "Lots of this stuff," he muttered coyly.

Saying nothing, Hiro only bit his lip when K added the wet lubrication to his erection. Oh man here it comes, "Don't rush it K…"

But K straddled over him and set himself onto Hiro quickly, eagerly. The guitarist moaned out and watched K's eyes shoot open. Then with a clamped jaw, the blonde closed his eyes a moment later.

"K, I told you not to rush it," Hiro said softly, his legs quivering a little from just how wonderful it felt to be inside K's ass. It was obvious K hadn't given himself before or maybe in a long time—well exactly how long and what K did in the past was something for Hiro to find out. But right now he was so tight! K opened his eyes, water built around them and Hiro held onto him tight. "You're such a stubborn man."

But K didn't say anything as he took Hiro's mouth urgently with his own and rocked himself against Hiro. He knew the pain would subside and would be replaced with pleasure. Kissing Hiro was a good distraction, because like hell was he going to stop now. He asked for it and he was going to do it! He needed to feel Hiro inside of him, go through what Hiro went through, he wanted to have that too. Besides they would have time to try out so many different things.

Hiro's was gripping into K's back with enough force to leave marks. He knew K was starting to enjoy it when he shifted his legs enough to really ride him. The feeling was so intense and the view! Oh the view! K bouncing on his cock! Hiro willed everything he had not to explode. He didn't want this to end!

"Let your hair out," Hiro panted heatedly.

Using his leg power to keep moving, K watched Hiro's face as he undid his hair. Letting it fall down and hang free. Hiro made a very appreciative groan over that and leaned back a bit, holding himself up with his arms stretched out behind him. It gave K a little more room and he thought of something naughty. He too leaned back, holding himself up with his arms. They made the letter V as K continued to ride Hiro.

"Hope you like the view," K sighed and let out small ahh's.

Holy fuck K was hot! Kinky and hot! "Mmm, yea…ohh ahh," Hiro watched all right, he watched his cock disappearing inside of his lover. He also watched how K's cock rested against his navel, full and erect. Hiro held himself up with one arm and reached out to touch it.

K groaned loudly at that. "Oh yeah, make me cum Hiro!" he demanded.

Hiro wanted to see K cum just before he did, so he stroked the hard flesh as K fucked him. It would be the perfect way too end this fantasy come true, Hiro thought. Panting much harder as he kept up his body weight and worked K's cock, Hiro watched as K tossed his head back and squirted hot cum all over himself.

"Aahhh! YES!" roared K, sighing with each pulse his cock gave as it released his burden. But swiftly he sat back up and clung onto Hiro and rode him as hard as he could; wanting Hiro's orgasm to be colossal.

Whimpering, sweat glistening on their foreheads, Hiro could feel himself being brought to the brink. Holding onto K he felt the wings grow forth, there was such passion between them, that they were an inevitable part of this now. K felt his arms and hands warmed by the feathery wings and relished in their softness.

It came like an explosion, Hiro felt himself climax so hard he cried out, filling the depths of K with his essence. The moment it happened a set of wings spread out behind K. Big soft white wings, exactly like Hiro's, stretched out.

They chuckled, elated.

"It worked!" Hiro exclaimed, "I had a feeling it would." He caught his breath and petted over the beautiful wings. "Gawd you look so…so angelic," Hiro murmured.

"Yea, well we both know I'm not," K guffawed and laughed. But he too looked from side to side not believing he was bearing wings. "All because I let you cum inside of me…magical sperm," K said teasingly.

They laughed.

"Ooo, you're going to have to let me cum inside of you more often," Hiro said nodding righteously.

"I'll let you cum inside me again under one condition," K put forth, coyly still sitting in Hiro's lap.

"What is it?"

"You have to shoot a perfect score at the firing range," K declared, "I'll even let you use a forty-five calibre," he added.

Hiro face faulted, "You have to be joking…"

"Nope."

"K, you can't drag me into your world," Hiro declared jokingly like he was giving a sermon. "I'd probably shoot myself in the foot," he chuckled and added, "Besides, I'd say I shot pretty well just a few moments ago." He smirked.

K laughed naughtily at that, "We have forever…I'm sure I can find a way to convince you Hiro."

"Shut up and let me stroke your feathers," Hiro quipped.

"I love you."

"Sshh, stroking here," Hiro muttered.

"I love you…"

"Still stroking…"

"I LOVE HIRO!"

Hiro made stricken face and clamped a hand over K's mouth, "The neighbours!" he hissed. The apartment walls were thin in this crappy old building.

"I love you," went K's muffled voice behind Hiro's hand and then he started giggling.

"If I say I love you…will you stop?" Hiro said flustered.

K nodded an obvious smirk plastered behind the hand.

"Have I told you that you are crazy?"

K bit the hand on his face and Hiro yelped. "Yes I'm crazy Hiro, crazy for you," K said with a wild look on his face. He was in the mood to play.

Hiro held out his hand and said dauntingly, "Kiss it better Claude."

"I like when you say my name," K told him and released Hiro's now flaccid cock. K felt cum dribbling out and wore a devilish grin. "I've been a bad boy," he sniggered. But no sooner had he separated from Hiro, did the wings disappear. He only felt the weight gone and tenderly he kissed Hiro's hand over and over. "Now say you love me."

"Hmm…on one condition," Hiro announced and sadly watched the wings vanish from behind K.

Sketchily K asked, "What?"

"Only if you let me have you again later," Hiro said using his trump card.

"No! You beat me at my own game…" K whined but he gave Hiro a playful grin, "Fine."

Haha! Hiro softened his face and said, "I love you Claude…I will always love you." Hiro thought about it, "You know I'm only teasing, you don't have to be my uke."

But that only started a whole new bantering session. And indeed the neighbours heard the most of it. But even after a few banging's on the walls, K and Hiro only laughed it off. By the end of the day, Hiro wouldn't be living there anymore.

And for the next few days they discussed how they would manage living an endless life together. For now it was simple, going about their daily lives, making music, doing all the necessary things. But one day it would all be over and then what? K told Hiro he had it all figured out. They would have to travel, move from place to place, where no one knew them. K suggested they may even have to change their names one day, because living with the same name would become suspicious. It was an adventure they'd get to share together.

Two hundred years later…

Although Hiro and K had been surprised by who chose to keep their rune and who did not, they knew they had to live with everyone's decision. In Suguru's case, he only had a common rune so it wouldn't have any effect on his life. He would grow old and die one day, so he had kept his rune and even used it a few times to save someone's life. With Yuki and Shuichi, Hiro had been saddened that they actually forwent their runes. At the time it had been quite humorous how they decided, determining that they didn't want to spend all eternity bickering. That they would be happy living out the life they had and bidding it farewell when the time comes. But surprisingly Sakano kept his True rune. He explained that wanted much more out of life then he already had, to have a chance to be someone he always wanted to be. It was noble and daring K and Hiro promised to help out anyway they could and to always stay in contact.

Present day on May 15th 2196…

K wrapped his arms around Hiro as he sat between his legs, resting against his chest. It felt like they were on top of the world as they sat overlooking the vista of the Grand Canyon.

"I've never knew the Grand Canyon was so beautiful in real life," Hiro said in perfect English.

"Yea, it seems like it never changes, even after two hundred years," K quipped his fingers playing with Hiro's shirt.

"Hey guys do you want to camp out here for the night?" Sakano asked his old time friends, flashing a smile at his newest love interest…a well built athletic man grinned back at him.

"Sure we can do that…but I don't think we're moving from this spot. Leave us the coffee and a blanket could ya Sakano?" K said and whispered in Hiro's ear, "How about it? Wanna make love on top of the world?"

Hiro answered that question by tipping his head back and planting a soft kiss to K's lips. They smiled. "Oh don't forget to leave my guitar too Sakano," Hiro called behind him.

Sakano left the stuff next to K and Hiro and he and his lover got into the truck, off to find their own secluded spot in the desert. The motor faded away and K and Hiro watched the sun set on a horizon that seemed to go on and on, forever.
