Several Years Later:

Ran watched as Ken eagerly bounced from foot to foot and Keiji wagged his tail madly. They were waiting for Kenta and he was just wondering how he was going to put up with three Hidaka's in the car. He loved Ken and his brothers just some times the three of them could be a little much especially when there had been a long absence and Kenta had been gone fore six months. He looked around trying not to notice the people staring at his lover's brother. Even though wer of all kinds were generally well accepted there were still those who thought them monsters. However he also knew people would see him and Ken as sick and deranged for being lovers. On most days he hated people because they were narrow minded and mean today he down right loathed the very thought of people.

Ken spotted Kenta first and started waving like mad and his youngest brother bounded over and hugged him tightly. "KEN! I missed you soooooooooooooo much." He hugged his baby brother tightly as they were pounced by Keiji. It was one group hug. "Ok let's go before they find out who Kenta is." His lover whispered urgently into his ear and he nodded wrapping an arm around Kenta's shoulders as they headed to baggage claim. His brother had on a baseball cap, sunglasses, and normal cloths but it was still a possibility his brother could be noticed and mobbed. He watched Ran shove his way into the crowd waiting for bags and smiled at both of his brothers. "So Kenta tell us all about your trip and why your lover isn't here with you." Kenta let out a heavy sigh and shrugged. "Nova got detained by our manager and going over some details about our little break. So I ditched and came here on my own." He nodded and spotted Ran heading their way with Kenta's bags. He and his lover bought Kenta suitcases with little wolves on them before his brother left.

Keiji watched Ken and Kenta and smiled slightly. Ran kept glancing around while he shoved the bags in Ken's car. His little brother was an international pop/rock sensation. It was so odd but he and Ken had faithfully taped every concert and they ones they missed they bought on DVD. He was so proud of what Kenta had become. The youngest was in Weiss but only for six months when they did a mission and Kenta had to sing on stage in front of thousands and discovered that was his true calling. So with a little help from Kritiker Kenta was on stage with a band in a month and Nova was his guitarist because Kenta's little lover claimed some one needed to keep an eye on him on and off stage. He was just happy his brother was back for a while the world tour and concert setting was too long.

Kenta bounced in his seat while Ran put the car into drive and Ken turned around to talk to him. "So what's happened while I was gone?" Ken blushed and turned to the front suddenly not looking at him so he turned to Keiji. "Oh Ren and Kenji had their first turning so they can both be wer! Don't worry I taped it! Aya is pregnant again this time with only one baby. Um Oh you are just in time for the twins third birthday party they will be so thrilled to see you! They really are your biggest fans next to me and Ken of course." He beamed and hugged his older brother. "That's great on all counts! I can't wait to see the boys I bet they have gotten so big." His brother nodded smiling brightly. He looked at Keiji while his brother continued to fill him in on other random events and stories. He could swear Keiji looked no older than he looked when he was seventeen. He personally hoped he looked older than thirteen. He then looked to Ken who was holding Ran's hand as the redhead just gently smiled. Once he wanted what they had but then after six months of killing he discovered he most likely never could. They had been though hell and back with one another. They saw some of the worst times of the other and shared a secret deep pain. He loved Nova but he could never have the connection they did and that was fine.

Ken felt Kenta's stare so he turned and smiled slightly looking his little brother over. "You look good. Nova's been treating you well I see." His little brother grinned and nodded. "Yup! Nova is such a worrywart. He makes sure I get three balanced meals a day and has me on vitamins. He also makes sure I get at least six hours of sleep a night so for the past six months sex has been a little non-existent." He smiled and nodded noticing Kenta's wicked grin. "So what are you hiding?" His brother asked sweetly and he shook his head. "You'll see." He turned back to the front excited to get home.

Yohji walked around the house making sure everything was perfect for Kenta's arrival. Yuushi wrapped his arms around him and he dropped into his wer form and his lover pouted. He stroked a velvet cheek softly and kissed sweet lips. At one point he thought he'd never get over Ken and never fully fall in love with Yuushi that was until Ran and Ken got married. After that he knew he had no hope so he really looked at his beautiful white knight and found he really was in love. "I'm just busy love. Once I'm done I'll make it up to you in the storage closet." He waggled his eyebrows and Yuushi smiled grabbing his ass. "I'll hold you to that." He grinned and turned to Omi who was pointing to Nagi where he wanted certain decorations that needed to be high. Nagi sure as hell was handy during Christmas they never needed a ladder. He nodded and patted his friend on the head. "Looks good chibis." He got two equal glares and grinned. "Go make yourself useful and help Schuldich in the kitchen." Omi said lightly gently pushing him on his way.

Schuldich smiled at Yohji and pointed to a pot making a motion he hoped the blond understood. Yohji walked over and started to stir things and he was just happy his meaning was clear. He was talking to Crawford who was buying drinks and it was hard for him to talk verbally and mentally at the same time. "So how's things?" Yohji asked gently and he smiled. "Better. Thank you. What about you?" He shrugged and smiled. "Good. They are really good now." The redhead nodded and smiled. "Yeah so are things with Crawford and I. I think all of Ran and Ken's mushiness rubs off." He chuckled and nodded. "No shit. Those two have been on cloud nine as of late. Do you know why?" The redhead shrugged. "Nope. Ken's head not a place I want to go." He nodded and turned down the burner. "No kidding." The other laughed softly and nodded.

Crawford looked at the ten thousand kinds of drinks and sighed deeply. He hated shopping but he hated cooking more and it was either shopping or cooking so he took the lesser of two evils. He started to grab a bit of everything like Schuldich had told him to naming of specific things he had to get so he just got extra of those. He loved hearing Schuldich's voice in his head where he didn't used to. He had always liked his teammate now lover but even when they were lovers he never really loved Schuldich till the past few years. It had gotten so bad he even asked Ken to change him so he would love Schuldich because he hated hurting his love. Ken just looked at him and shook his head. "Crawford being a wer is complicated. If you don't love Schu my changing you wont change a thing. Wer can still have sex with out love because they are still human. It's when there is love that you have a mate. You should realize you do love Schu because you are asking me to change you but the only one who can really change you is you." He still held on to those words and he talked to Schuldich and hurt him deeply but he tried and soon he was in love and Schu was healing and falling in love all over again. They still fought but so did Ran and Ken who many saw as the perfect couple so he knew they were ok.

Kenta stared at the back of Ken's head trying to read his brother's mind with no luck. Maybe he could ask Schu to help him. He looked to Keiji and made a small motion and his brother shrugged leaning close. "No one has any idea what those two are up to. They have been floating for the past few weeks. I asked Schu and he just shrugged saying Ken's head scared him and Ran's was so filled with Ken it made him want to gag." He huffed and sat back pouting slightly noticing for the first time they had stopped. He looked out the window hoping to see the Koneko but saw a large brick building instead. The sight of it made his heart stop and Keiji tensed next to him letting out a growl. "Ken this isn't funny what are we doing here?" Keiji asked in a low dangerous hiss. Ken turned slightly and smiled. "Ran and I adopted a child so we are here to pick him up. I wanted you two to be the first to meet him." He relaxed and smiled and Keiji was looking at the building with a new interest. "Why here?" He asked softly trying not to let the bad memories of the orphanage find him. "This is where I lost you, and that is where I found you." Ken pointed to another building that looked familiar. He remembered Keiji stuffing him in a closet once whispering softly. "If any thing happens wait here and I'll find you." His eyes brimmed with tears and he hugged Ken tightly remembering the day he was found by Keiji so clearly it almost hurt.

Keiji looked at Ken and Kenta then back at the building then to the building that Ken pointed to remembering something very different.

Ken shoved him lightly as the stared out the window to a place they would some day call hell. "Is that really where daddy is sending you?" He asked in his small childlike voice while his brother just nodded silently. "Yes. Keiji if you ever need a safe place to go or some place to bring Kenta come here. Don't worry little brother some day we'll all be back together just the three of us as a family.

It was a long time ago for him and he remembered the long rout by train and bus they used to get here but it was safe. "You lied Ken." He said at last and his older brother froze looking at him. "You said when you found us it would be just the three of us as a family again. You gave us a lot more than three people to call family and you brought Dad back." His brother sat just looking at him and he smiled. "Have I ever told you that you bringing me to Weiss was the best thing that ever happened? I love you Ken. Thank you for bringing us here to meet the newest member of our family." His brother grinned and gave him an uncomfortable hug.

Ran watched silently and almost jumped out of his skin when there was a tap on the window. He looked at the nun that ran the orphanage and blinked. "Ken, Keiji, and Kenta Hidaka get your skinny bones out here and come give me a hug." All three piled out of the car and hugged the very frail looking lady. "Come on Fujimya-san lets go get Kaika." He nodded and stepped out of the car fallowing the rather quick moving nun inside. "How old is she?" He asked his lover and Ken shrugged. "I swear she is part vampire or something she's always looked that old." Keiji and Kenta snorted and giggled so he took his lover's hand.

Ken waited silently standing with his brothers wrapped tightly in Ran's arms. He was nervous and excited. He and Ran had come here a thousand times looking for a child then they met Kaika and fell madly in love with the little boy. He would have been happy with a child of any age or gender but Kaika was perfect. Ran was actually taking some of the older kids and training them to work at the Koneko. His lover was so good. He felt a rush of exhilaration as Kaika come out led by the old nun they called 'Mother' rubbing his eyes sleepily. He was only five but he was short for his age and had shocking red hair much like his lover's and wide innocent blue eyes like his own. In essence he was everything he hoped a child of his and Ran's would look like if they were able to have children. The little boy came over and buried his face in his leg smiling softly. "Hi Ken." He grinned and lifted the little boy up. "Hi Kaika. I want you to meet my brothers Keiji and Kenta." His brothers' eyes were wide and tear filled and Kaika snuggled into his chest popping a thumb in his mouth. "Hi." The single word was slurred but still understandable.

Yohji tapped his foot and glared at the driveway hoping it would make Ran and Ken hurry the hell up. Ken's car came gliding into its spot with Ran's expert skills behind the wheel and he noticed not four heads but five. Kenta and Keiji got out and Kenta was holding a young boy that could have been Ran and Ken's love child and it all suddenly made sense. Ken got out next taking the little boy from his brother and grinning at him as Ran placed a hand on the small of Ken's back leading them inside. "Well I'll be damned." He said lightly and the little boy looked at him then hid in Ken's chest. "Yohji I'd like you to meet my son Kaika. Kaika this is your uncle Yohji." The little boy looked at him again and waved with four fingers because one of them was stuck in his mouth. He grinned and hugged both Ken and the little boy. Then reached over and hugged Kenta welcoming him home.

The party lasted for hours. Every one was there including Taki, Tomaru, Kai and he husband and kids. All of the kids were rough housing and playing around all day so they all passed out rather early. Keiji lifted up the twins and kissed his wife gently looking at Ken and Kenta who were asleep together on the couch. "Keiji I can carry one of the boy's." Aya said gently touching his arm and he smiled. "Nah I got them. I'm really happy for them all of them." He said gently and Aya nodded kissing one of their sons gently as he whined. "I'm just really happy." He grinned and his wife went over gently and woke his brothers. Ken kissed both the boys then him and his wife. "See you guys later." He nodded and Kenta came over and smiled. "Later bro." His little brother's voice was horse from singing all day. "Later Kenta. Hay take it easy on that voice we don't want you to damage it and lose your pop career." Kenta looked at his sons then at Ken's new little boy and shrugged. "I can think of worse things." He smiled and kissed his little brother.

Ken fallowed Ran up the stairs to Kaika's bedroom and smiled softly as he then waddled over to Kenta's bedroom and deposited his brother hurrying back to his lover and son. "How come you got to carry the little one?" he asked with a slight pout. Ran just smiled and kissed him tenderly. "Because you didn't want to wake your brother and I wasn't going to carry him. He's built like you short and all muscle and you are heavy love." He grinned slightly nodding. "Oh yeah. I'm just glad he's shorter than me. It would suck if I was the shortest." Ran chuckled and pulled him close kissing him deeply. He grinned and held Ran for a few more seconds then knelt next to his son. Ran sat on the head of the bed and brushed some long hair from their son's eyes. "It's had to believe he's finally ours." He whispered and Ran stroked his neck while their son curled into the little wolf stuffed animal they got him. "He's perfect. Are you happy Ken?" He nodded and moved over a little so he could rest his head on Ran's leg. "I'm very happy. I have my brothers who are wonderful and well off on their own. I have all of Weiss and Schwartz to call family. I have great friends. I have a perfect wonderful son and a wonderful, kind, beautiful, perfect man who loves me even after the hell I've put him through." Ran smile and kissed him gently. "I would have gone though much worse as long as in the end I could be with you. So don't even think you're not worth it Ken because to me you are worth so much more." He felt tears fill his eyes and he kissed his lover deeply. He stood and quickly kissed his son lightly on the head then pulled Ran to their room right across the hall. The Koneko had been empty for some time now that every one had families and lovers of their own but he and Ran had never left because this was where their life truly began when they thought it had ended. No his life was complete and he was in want for nothing except maybe another few kids to fill all the empty rooms. Ran was just lucky Kenta was home or they would have one more room to fill but for now it could wait till later.
