Epilogue

Prozacfairy: Last update for this fic.

dead yet a love sick puppy: Very happy indeed :p

Shaman Wolf: No, no more Honesty II. However, very soon you'll have Overture ;)

Ashla: No, not as dirty, but darker. And here's the end.

Mikomi: Where are your fics? Can I read them? Pweeeease? And Overture is mostly Kai/Ray... [[nudge, nudge]]

Ramen II: Shirtless Tala scene? [[flicks to look at wallpaper, drooling before returning to answering review]] Nope. No idea what you mean. [[Glances at picture by bed]] Nope. No shirtless Lee either.

Koneko no Rei: The other one is Ketsuron. And yes, much embarrassment for Yuri.

Kappy Locks: Into the Light depressing? [[insert sarcasm]] Noooo. [[smirk]] ;)

KuronekoHikage: I never set a due date, just know in terms of how many chapters left in this. Therefore, next update night is Overture's premier.

BlazingPheonix: Thanks.

Black Panther Wolf: Thank you so much for your kind feedback. [[blush]]

TNTiggris: TVG? TVY7? Not used to those ratings. Australian ratings are different, and I had to learn from web surfing the American ratings of this board. Certainly not multi-country friendly in that area.

Mizuyah: Me too. [[beams]]

Last chapter all.

Tyson looked up as Kevin and Lee stepped into the restaurant, Kevin smiling and saying something softly that caused Lee's eyes to sparkle, the elder replying before leaning across and whispering in Kevin's ear, Kevin blinking as he blushed, making a small reply that caused Lee to laugh.

Max nudged him. "Well Ty, I think it's all worked out perfectly."

Tyson nodded and grinned, looking up as the two joined them. "Take it Mr D didn't let you off early."

"You kidding me?" Lee shrugged. "He's got us working overtime to make up for the fact we leave soon."

"Wants us to wrap everything up," Kevin agreed, settling into a seat, Lee sliding in beside him. "Though he wants us back after the Championship is over."

"Yeah?" Max grinned. "Are you going to do it?"

"We'll see."

Tyson looked to the side, taking in the other two occupants of the table. "So, you guys are seriously gonna leave tomorrow?"

Oliver nodded. "We're heading for Robert's castle."

"We're going to try to persuade him to enter us officially into the Championship, and not just the European Tournament," Enrique said.

"Good luck," Tyson said. "Especially with Johnny."

Lee smirked. "Johnny likes a challenge, doesn't he?"

Oliver and Enrique nodded.

"Well pass this on: the Demolition Boys are going to register for the European Tournament, and Bryan wants to battle him."

Oliver's eyes widened. "The guy who almost killed Ray?"

Lee nodded.

Enrique grinned. "There is no way Johnny will turn down a challenge like that. How do you know?"

Lee shrugged. "Ray called before we left this morning. Bryan told him himself."

"We'll tell Johnny," Oliver said. "That just might be what will persuade him to want to enter. Then it will simply be a matter of enticing Robert."

Max looked up toward Kevin. "You're leaving soon too?"

Kevin nodded. "Yeah. We go in just over a week."

"We were meant to stay longer but the Chinese Qualifier got pushed forward a week," Lee explained. "Not that that worries us. Just means we've gotta meet up earlier and get into some training."

"Too bad you'll miss Kai and Ray," Tyson said. "They're coming back in two weeks from their holiday. At the moment it looks like the Japanese Qualifier is going to get pushed back a week cause they haven't finished the renovations on Seaside Dome."

Kevin looked at Lee. "Maybe that's why the Chinese Qualifier got pushed forward a week. Wasn't the Japanese one meant to go first?"

Lee frowned. "I think so. It's possible that they switched their schedules to compensate for the lateness. China Tower's been finished for over a month now."

Kevin grinned, eyes sparkling as his fangs glittered in the light. "And we get to run it in. How sweet it is."

Lee raised an eyebrow. 'Just don't destroy it with that Razor Claw of yours."

"You're one to talk with your Dark Lightening Black Thunder." Kevin looked around the group. "So this is the last time we'll be together until the Finals."

Max sighed. "Its kinda sad. I'm gonna miss you guys."

"We'll be seeing you at the Asian Tournament," Lee reminded them. "And the Majestics I take it haven't picked their route."

"We haven't, no," Oliver said. "But we will be in the European. And hopefully the Finals."

"It's been fun, though," Enrique said. "We came to Japan strictly on business with the BBA, and we're going home with new friendships, new relationships, and in the knowledge that we did some good while we were here."

"I propose a toast," Tyson said, picking up his glass. "To love and friendship, and may they last for eternity."

Six glasses rose to meet in the centre of the table in a gentle clink, signalling the beginning of the future.

Dekiagaru (Finish)

Well that's another one down, and now I've finished putting this story up, I can begin putting up Overture, so keep an eye out.

I do hope you've enjoyed reading this story as I continue to expand my own knowledge and skill over my style, the characters, and other such things such as exactly how homosexual relationships work. No, I'm am not a homosexual, but I have friends who are, and I have been reading up on the relationships between two members of the same sex and hopefully my stories are beginning to become more realistic and less 'obsessed fangirl without a clue' sort of thing. Here's hoping.

Well, I'll see you all next time around. Remember, take care.
