Author's Note: Last chapter. I appologise for the shortness of the perivous one. But this story is rather long and I've grown tired of it. I feel like it got away from me a few times, and isn't the best thing I have out here. I would like to thank all of my readers and reviewers for sticking around with me until the end. Now here comes the final tieing of loose ends.

The Story So Far: They just had a nasty fight with Blake, how did it really end? It all well?

Hidden

By: Bar-Ohki

Epilogue: No Longer Hidden

"How fast are you anyways, you fucking elf?" Hiruma demanded. They were standing on Deimon High School's football field. They being everyone who had been personally involved with the final battle with Blake, especially the members of the Underground that were going to go home.

"Faster than a human." Malhavoc answered with a chuckle. "But slower than a grown Incubus."

"Fuck that, I'm taking your 40 yard dash time." Hiruma snorted. Malhavoc's speed hadn't been bothering, but it had bothered Sena enough that Hiruma decided to do something about before the elf disappeared into the depths of the Underground. Malhavoc chuckled some more and obliged Hiruma with a 40 yard dash.

4.0 seconds.

"That's as fast as I go." Malhavoc admitted with a grin and some pants.

"Shit!" Hiruma muttered, staring at his stopwatch.

"I'm not the fastest nor am I the slowest." Malhavoc remarked with a hum.

"Dad, no offense, but you are too chipper." Elec muttered.

"I get to see your mother tonight," Malhavoc grinned, "what's not to like?"

"You're not the only one going back to family." Kali smiled. "I'm so glad this mess is over."

"Now, Zork, I'll be back with Vanhi later to give you training." Dalboz explained to his son from his perch atop the unconscious Blake. Escarlaje was still logged in the man's shoulder in it's bullet form, keeping the magic source in his body from repairing itself. They were taking him back to the Underground where they could get the help of the magic users there to perminately brake Blake's magic source. After that, Malhavoc said he knew a man that specialized in sealing away evil, so they'd seal the evil inside Blake away.

'Ultimately Blake was a product of the Underground and the issues down there, so it the Underground's place to take care of him now that he's contained.' is what Elec had remarked on the matter earlier. 'Besides, I am going to inherit Escarlaje one day, and I'd rather it not be in Blake's shoulder…'

Zork had chosen to stay in the Upground to live with his brother. Hiruma didn't completely reject the idea, mainly because he knew there was going to be more than one headache caused by Zork in the future. Lotem had decided to return to the Underground, since Succubus don't raise their male children, their fathers do that.

Hiruma had talked to both his parents about what actually happened when he was conceived. It turned out time in the Underground does not always flow at the same rate as it did in the Upground and because of that difference Hiruma had been conceived when his father was 15, yet born when the man was 32.

Go figure.

Lotem, acknowledging Hiruma's need for proper magical training, was sending his second cousin, Soylala, who happened to be about his age, up to Upground to start teaching Hiruma basic Succubus magics. But Soylala wasn't supposed to arrive until next week, Upground time. Not being completely thrilled with that development, Hiruma decided he'd take these issues one at a time.

Find a place for Zork, then one for his cousin.

Since the Elders of the Eastern Ocean Isles had been greatly reduced, namely down to Yuuya and Tsubasa, both said they would allow Doburoku back and that they would fight for Hiruma's political independence from the government of the magic of the Upground. This was one of the few blessings.

Ayla was appointed to be a sort of secretary and was officially on political asylum in Japan. She personally oversaw the massive memory-altering of the people of Japan (since the Blake incident had to be kept under wraps).

Both the girl Rae and the bus driver were finally returned to England, with altered memories of their confused and odd adventures being kidnapped by terrorists. The bus never did make it back to the Upground, it is instead on a display at the Upground Museum of the Univeristy of All Magics (even the boring and obsurce!) of the Cross Roads. Lotem promised to pay for both Hiruma and Zork's magical educations there once they were doing fooling around in the Upground.

The night before they had had a goodbye party and victory party. It turns out, even though elves are long living and magically very powerful, they have fragile stomachs and get sick extremely easily. Malhavoc took a bite of cake, remarked that it probably didn't agree with him, then proceeded to spend the rest of the evening puking.

None of the other elves touched the food after that. That morning two of the mages under Elec had fevers of some sort. Elec blamed the funny stuff in the air of the Upground. Malhavoc asked the mages why they didn't shield themselves from the toxins of the Upground air and they told him to go screw himself.

Because Zork was going to become the Dungeon Master when he returned to the Underground, they had to create a Doorway to the Undergound nearby where Zork would be living. After some consulting with Kurita the monk, they decied that they'd make one on the Deimon schoolgrounds. The Elders, along with Mamori, would be casting the enchanments that would keep the Upgrounders out of the Doorway needlessly.

Mamori, as it turned out, didn't suffer any other concequences than temporary loss of conciousness and magical power from using the Old Word earlier.

"Well Youichi," Malhavoc distrupted Hiruma's thoughts, "I owe you my life."

"Oh?" Hiruma smirked.

"Which means I owe you one heck of a favor sometime." Malhavoc translated. "Come to my house and I'll do everything I can to repay it, until then, beautiful risings. Acaia, bamboo, clover, oak, and elder flower."

"And aye to that!" The rest of the elves agreed as they formed a circle with Zeke in the middle. The rest of the soldiers, Kali, and Blake formed an outer circle. The rest backed away and watched as Zeke opened a portal. A giant white door appeared at their feet, it opened up and the group fell down into it. The door shut and disappeared, leaving no trace of the Undergrounders.

"…There's no magic there!" Shin gasped.

"That's because the fucking door's in the clubhouse." Hiruma snorted. Komusubi and Dalboz had made the Doorway that morning.

"It's not big enough to take a group that large." Doburoku commented. "And besides, the Undergrounders have no desire to create melfins, on either side."

"So that's it?" Sakuraba asked.

"Until next week when my fucking cousin shows up." Hiruma rolled his eyes.

"Hey, Hiruma-san," Sena asked, "when's the next practice?"

"Right now! Ya-ha!" Hiruma pulled out various other firearms and used them to start up a much delayed football practice. Zork joined Mamori on the slide lines, helping with towels and learning the duties of a secretary. Cerberus ran around terrorizing the player's are Hiruma's command. Hiruma picked up a football, smiled, and threw it.

The team didn't treat him any different, because to them he had always been Hiruma Youichi, Commander from Hell, and that wasn't going to change just because they found out he was secretly a Half-Succubus. That was the real hidden truth, they liked Hiruma for the person he was and didn't see anything else besides that.
