AN: As promised, here is the final part of part two of The Little Prince. I really hope you guys like it. Sorry about the brevity, but I recently suffered a head injury leading to a concussion and it's getting a little harder to write but I hope you enjoy this nonetheless.

Chapter Nine – Goodbye for a little bit

Kuon stared in front of him as he listened to his parents. Despite how he had caused them so much worry over the past few weeks, they had done their best to give him a good Christmas Day. He looke down nervously and pulled his knees close to his chest. "Dad, I'm fine," he looked at his father weakly. He saw the doubt in his father's face however. "I'm sorry I ran away but if you need me to be gone that badly."

"I don't want you gone at all," Julie said stubbornly, "This is all your father's idea."

Kuu looked down and closed his eyes, "Kuon, listen to me. We love you. Your mother and I might not have been paying attention to you closely enough and we love you but you need somewhere to go to clear your mind. You know that you always feel much better if you are facing some new location and we don't want to see you go but we trust Boss to take care of you for as long as you need."

"So, I won't see you two until June?" Kuon had to ask them nervously and Julie shook her head.

"We'll be there in February," she told her son without a moment of hesitation. She looked at Kuu and frowned, "I am not going to miss my little boy turning twelve,"

"Of course we'll be there, we love you, we're doing this because we love you, Kuon," Kuu promised him as he picked up a baseball that he and Kuon had played catch with since he was young. He watched his son's confused expression on his face. "If you're not up for it, we'll find another way around it."

"You two really want me to do this?" Kuon asked again and Kuu sighed.

"I want to have you here, honestly, I do, but I want you to be able to spread your wings. As much as I want to see you every morning before I head out to work, I need you to be happy and healthy. I want you to find the special quality that makes you Kuon and then when you're healed, you'll be back and I'll be able to see you every day," Kuu told him as Kuon nodded.

"Okay," he agreed. "It would be nice to have some room to fly."

"Let's think about something else," Julie said as she tried to wipe away the tears that were making their way down her cheeks. "Let's go enjoy Christmas and Kuon," she said softly, "I really am sorry for everything. I'm going to try my best to be the kind of mother that an amazing boy like you deserves."

"You're already incredible, you're my mom," Kuon told her and Julie shook her head.

"Then I'll work on getting even better. I love you so much, Kuon." She took a few deep inhales and let her hand run over the blond strands on his head. How much bigger would he get when he was in Japan? How much of his life would she miss out on?

One week later, Kyoko was arriving home from her art class. She had enjoyed an amazing birthday and had been glad that her friend had even emailed her to show her some pictures of him and his family. She had to admit that though he had a bit of an attitude, Kyoko loved him still. There was something special about him and she was glad that he was acting more like his old self.

Hopefully things would be good for Corn and he would be able to act the way that he wanted to. She was so happy that he was happy again. He had given her so much and she had to forgive someone who had offered her so much. As she got into the house, her eyes took in two large suitcases and she blinked. This must be a friend of her father's who was staying.

She took a few steps into the kitchen and froze as she saw her father there with a huge grin on his face.

"Kyoko, I have news for you. We've taken in a friend for five months of this year. He needs a little break from what he was doing, that's alright with you, right?" Lory asked and Kyoko nodded. All of her adoptive father's friends were really nice to her and she accepted them with her whole heart.

"That's good. I'll do my best to -"

"Hi, Kyoko, is it really alright if I stay here?" Kuon asked as he stood in front of her, he was speaking in fluent Japanese because of course Corn was amazing.

"Cooorn!" Kyoko smiled and laughed happily as she knocked Kuon back with the force of her hug.
