-Found, Sealed and Delivered: Epilogue-

Tomi stared off into the distance, it had been a few weeks now. Fact, they were back with Hizuri family simply because Kouki her brother had a business trip. Apparently, this meant that he had to personally see to his sister's care in his mind. Which meant that they would be staying here again with a very overbearing couple. They were, endearing in a creepy sort of way, with their hugs and attempts to feed, the discussion over the fact that Kuu was special and that most people did not eat nearly the same amount had been mind-boggling, to say the least and a small part of him was itching to explore exactly how long Kuu could go without eating and then follow that with could he increase the man's hunger. Kuu could be a deadly weapon if used properly and his wife, a true Russian if he did say so himself. The woman had a fury under her that made even him shudder deep down inside. Truly it was a shame that they never had a daughter of their own, he doubted that their daughter would have been so easily broken.

Tomi's eyes narrowed as he pulled out his cell phone looking at several text messages, most of them between him and Lory or as he was in his phone, Cupid Lovemon. He approved of the man, more than he would ever openly admit and thus he knew that he would need to return his Hana back to her father. There were some from Reino even, apparently, their Aunt Natasha had caught him in Japan a few days after they left. Reino had not been pleased but he had done as always as he was told. He might fear his Aunt and Uncles but even that child knew that as long as he had breathed in his lungs he belonged to him. The whole family knew this because no one took what was his away from him. Use them perhaps, but not cause them any harm, physically or mentally.

His eyes moved towards Kyoko ghost-like reflection on the window glass, he pushed his glasses up some, soon he would be able to return to just being his true self, or perhaps it was more correct to say his other self. She was huddled over one of her textbooks, writing away in one of her notebooks. He couldn't help the smile that played across his features, one of his rare and true smiles before he crushed it completely down. Looking back at his phone, a sudden urge to contact one of the few others who had ever caused such feelings to come forth.

I have come to understand why you left. - Tomi
Who? - Kuon

Tomi gave a small grin, 'He must be on break.' It was almost an old warm feeling, that perhaps everything would be alright for the boy. Though he still had someone he had to hunt down. His eyes trailed over towards Kyoko once more, seeing that she had barely moved from her spot since the last time he looked at her before looking back down at his phone. Recalling the young teen who as long as he wasn't shooting had quickly answered whatever questions or comments he made to him. There was only one time that he made the mistake of ignoring him, to say he was not pleased when Tomi drugged his little girlfriend, until she became hooked on crack seemed almost yesterday. Then again the girl hadn't been approved by him, she was far too beneath his little Kuon, regardless how pretty she was. Shaking the thoughts out of his head he tapped his cell phone to his lips for a moment before narrowing his eyes. Kuon would not be pleased to learn he was with his parents. He grinned at the thought of how tormented the young man would be, perhaps he would even willingly contact them. That would be useful for his healing process, even if it was based around the fear of what he may or may not do to them.

Your parents. Extremely kind people to someone such as myself. - Tomi
What are you doing with my parents? - Kuon

Tomi could almost hear the panic in the young man's voice and he flashed a bigger grin as he put the phone into his pocket. He would reply later, perhaps he would tell him how Hana was at his side as she should be, at least for a little longer. He would hate returning her back to her father, but even he had to admit it might be for the best. Moving away from the window he shifted his glasses properly as he leaned over Kyoko's shoulder. Kyoko stopped leaning back looking up at him, "Is something wrong Tomi?" As normal when alone they spoke in Russian, not that it would do much good in this household, well other than when they were around Kuu for a man married to a Russian woman, he had no understanding of the language. It was rather amusing when Juliena went off ranting in Russian and the man looked at her, the only thing he could seem to grasp was he was in trouble.

"Lady Kyoko," he said softly, keeping his voice low. His eyes trailing towards the door for a moment, "You know better." She frowned at him before looking back down at her notebook, he could almost taste the guilt, "But I suppose when we are alone, it is fine." He placed a hand on her forehead, before frowning slightly, "Your abilities to perform knowing that your body has greatly weakened is interesting." He said pulling away from her. Yes, that was perhaps the biggest surprise to everything that happened, her willpower was amazing. Not that he had been the first thing he had noticed about her, but it was one of the things he did admire about her. 'Kuon or Reino, perhaps both.' He looked at her carefully before mentally shaking his head. 'She is still too young, for the time, neither.' He placed his hands into his pocket, "Finish this and the rest."

"Tomi..." he looked down at her for a moment, waiting for her to gather her thoughts before she went on, "When will I be going back to England?"

"Soon. Soon my Hana." His eyes turning towards the door, "Sooner than I wanted."

Keiji stared down at his phone, his eyes darting up towards the First Crown Prince Charles who sat with perfect ease and calm, his face showing no hint of what he was feeling, then again he supposed they were a lot alike, Charles was simply reading his book, where he was playing on his phone. Slowly his eyes turned towards the Fifth Prince Cody who looked miserable. His leg jumping up and down as he tapped a single finger against the armrest of the car. Keiji moved back down towards his phone, wishing that Daiki had taken Cody, not that this was not an uncommon sight for him. Though without the twins it was all the more noticeable, perhaps that was why he was such a big fan of tapdancing. Mentally sighing Keiji turned back down towards his phone, it was rather amazing that there was little about Lady Kyoko and her stay in the US, the fact she didn't appear whatsoever until a couple weeks ago and always at her Brother's side gave away the sheer power that was LME.

'Has it really been two and half months?' They had withdrawal for medical reasons from the dance competion. Keiji was hoping he would not need a new partner whatever was going on. Kyoko was ill, that was the only information they really had. Ill but in recovery. Everyone knew there was more to what had happened, but it seemed only Lory and most likely the Queen and Queen Mother knew the truth. Though it would only be a matter of time before he forced her to tell him.

"This is where your Aunt lives?" Cody's voice broke through his thoughts as he lifted his head slightly and looked out the window.

The large iron gates that required either a password or someone on the inside to buzz you through to the large driveway that went up to what looked like a large manor with large trees sticking out from behind given the illusion of a vast forest behind it. Keiji knew very well that there were woods, even a stream and manmade waterfall within those woods and the sheer number of animals that wandered their lands. He recalled that Kuon had always loved the outdoors and wildlife and that his parents apparently created a world all for him. He mentally pushed those thoughts and memories down, he had no love for the man who walked out on them.

"Yes," part of him was pleased that with these two he wouldn't need to explain that she was not biologically or even by marriage his aunt. She was, first of all, a close family friend and his Godmother.

Cody sighed heavily as he looked towards his brother, "She might not want to return home."

Charles didn't bother to lift his eyes from his book as he turned the page, "It doesn't matter what she desires. Our Grandmother has said it was time for her to return, thus she will return. She has no choice in the matter." Cody frowned but said nothing and Charles sighed deeply as he closed the book on his figure looking at his brother. "Rather we are Japanese or British in this manner, it matters not Cody. As Japanese we obey the Elder of our family, that is Grandmother. As British Citizens we are bound by our duty, she is bonded to that duty until she debuts to the other noble and royal families."

"She already has." Cody muttered under his breath "Why should we make her unhappy?" Keiji understood the unspoken words behind it, she wasn't truly blood to any of them, though the world would never know otherwise. She was tied to them rather she liked it or not until death and even in death Kyoko Takarada would remain tied.

Keiji mentally sighed, "Her offering apologizes for her actions is not the same sort of performance, no more than when she will dance at my side. She must perform her first appearance as a proper lady of the Takarada bloodline, so that she may find a proper and approved husband."

Cody's eyes turned towards Charles for a moment who seemed to be in deep thought for a moment, again the unspoken fact that the only one who would never be able to choose who is the mother of his children to keep the royal bloodline going. His choice above all others would be the most strick it might not even matter if he loved the woman, she still may deem unworthy to be Queen. Keiji had heard the rumors when it had come to Leiko and in end, he still wasn't sure how she had proven herself worthy. Perhaps, it was simply because she had an extremely sharp mind and figured out the answer with ease.

Cody looked down for a moment as if trying to come up with one more way out for Kyoko, "Kouki isn't going to be happy about this either. They seemed to have gotten really close."

"I have other business to attend too while I'm here," Charles said after the gates opened. "He will have plenty of time to say goodbye or come with us, should he choose too." That wasn't really going to be a choice either but Keiji knew he was trying to ease the guilt that Cody was feeling about tearing her away from what seemed to be a most peaceful home. Without all the strict rules and guidelines, a true home that didn't require them these two to hide who they truly were or what they truly wanted out of life.

Charles, "Will Daiki have issues getting in?"

Keiji gave a small shrug of his shoulders, again wishing he had gone with his brother. This time so he could use the man as a barrier between their overbearing Aunt Juliena, "I should note, try not to eat or drink anything that Aunt Juliena gives you. Even water." He said simply his nose going back down to his phone. "I don't even think with your talents you will be able to pretend."

Kuon stared down at his phone, trying to keep control over his anger. 'What the hell is he doing there?' He knew that there was no reason for his to talk about his parents unless he was watching them, but he clearly had made contact with them. 'Why?' He closed his eyes trying to keep down the burning rage that was threatening to escape him. Tomi was dangerous, very dangerous but he had never harmed him in the past. 'No he hurt...' he didn't want to think about his ex-girlfriend. How she had left him after Tomi got her addicted to crack, he had been tempted to follow her. It wasn't as if he had felt anything deep inside and he had tried it, that was when he realized how dangerous it was to cross the man. He had gotten his act together and kept away from drugs after that night after he had been forced into an aggressive detox. Even now he couldn't recall much about it, only the pain. His whole body had been in pain and then Tomi had promised him, that if he ever was tempted to do drugs, he would force him to watch everyone that he cared about being forced onto drugs and then detoxed over and over again and that he wouldn't be as kind to them. Even now he couldn't understand why Tomi even bothered with him but found him respecting the man and afterward. Yet it had been years since they had spoken before he even became Ren Tsugura before he left his old life behind not until Kyoko appeared in his life turning everything inside out.

Lory was refusing to tell him much of anything, the only information he had was what Yashiro had dug up. She was in America, with Kouki at least for the last couple weeks that seemed to be the case. Kuon even tried using Maria's affection for him to get information about her but she had said nothing. Fact, every time he began to bring it up she would run off.

Then there was the fact he hadn't seen Ruto in some time, Lory simply stated that Ruto had been moved to another position and that new woman who was always at his side looked an awful lot like that woman Gayle King, but Lory had informed him that Gayle King was dead. Part of Kuon wondered if perhaps the woman had been given a new life, much like him but everything about this woman was different and not just the fact that she had saved her head either the very way she carried herself and from what he knew Gayle King was not an actress, there was no possible way for her to switch personalities so easily. He even had Yashiro dig up some information and she had a whole life, she apparently came from a long line of Butlers her ancestors were indeed from England but they had moved to American generations ago, she even had traying in defense and offensive before she had been hired by Lory. What Kuon just couldn't wrap around his head was why he had traded this Rei Gail for Ruto.

Kuon's thoughts were drowned as he flinched at the overly happy voice of Kimiko "Ren!" he just managed to lift his arm upwards before she grasped onto him and Yashiro appeared at his side, becoming a shield from the young woman. Kimiko pouted as she looked up at him, batting her eyes and inside he cringed but he smiled at her.

"Hello Morizumi-san" When he had returned to Japan, he had noted quickly that she had this vibe about her, something had changed and whatever it was it meant her throwing herself more at him. If he didn't have the abilities that his father had taught him, he was sure that the moment she had her nails in him, he would have to truly force her off of him and that would ruin his image and it seemed even Yashiro had caught onto this change the man was quick.

"Ren, how many times do I need to tell you to call me Kimiko?" The way she was pushing her arms together to enlarge her chest he was sure was meant to be flattering as she looked at him with a hurt expression. No one could deny she had acting skills.

"Forgive me Kimiko-san," he said with more warmth than he felt.

"I'll forgive you if you..."

"Yo!" Kuon thanked the gods when Kijima pulled him into an embrace. One of the few people he didn't mind touching him, the closest thing besides Yashiro that was a friend. "You ready to start part two?"

Kuon smiled at him, "Yes, let us make Purple Down 2 even better than the first."

A/N: With this, this is the end of the first "book" that said I want to thank the following people who left reviews. Those reviews helped me grow, gave me thoughts and so on. So thank you once again. I will be spending time editing this first book [and all those chapters]. That means for the time being this project in on hold until that has been done and I have a few chapters written for the next "book." So please look forward to that and the growing romance that is to happen between Kuon and Kyoko that follows.
