It was over. It was finally over. Kuronue was finally free of his father, free to live his life, free to be with Kara without someone threatening her life. That Saturday, he ended up leaving, surprisingly with Ralph, to his hometown and learned that the cancer had not been what killed his father.

Apparently in his weakened state, other crime lords wanted to take control of his territory and one of them succeeded in killing him.

"You sure you know what you're doing?" Ralph asked Kuronue warily. The men who worked for his father seemed to be eyeing the eighteen year old menacingly.

"I'll be fine," Kuronue told him. "Wait here."

Kuronue went to go speak with his father's butler and the men and gave them the day off saying he needed the space to mourn. They weren't happy about it, but Kuronue was their boss now and they had to do what he told them to.

When they left, Kuronue brought Ralph to his father's office. "Have at it," Kuronue invited. "I'm going to go call the local feds and get them in here."

"You know that if you do that, they'll be looking at you for illegal involvement, right?" Ralph asked.

"What else can I do? I need to shut this organization down. Besides, I only did legal business, so they can't really do anything, right?"

"Kuronue, I have a confession," Ralph told him. "I'm not just a cop where Carol and Kara live. I'm also a federal agent." He took out a badge as proof. "That's why I insisted on coming here with you. You won't have to bring strangers in the mix. I'll take the information to my boss and explain the situation. I'll tell him your plans for the money. You won't have to worry about trials and crap. Just live your life, alright?"

Kuronue smirked at Ralph. He was pretty sneaky. "So, if you're a fed, that means Kara and I won't be able to get away with anything under your watch, huh?"

Ralph laughed loudly. "Damn straight, kid. Anyway, let's get everything done that we need to do so that we can get home to our girls."

Kuronue and Ralph managed to get all the information his father had had on allied families and rivals. Kuronue handed over all of the property records from what he had sold and who had bought the plots. Financial records and target lists were encoded, but useful. Kuronue left Ralph for a short while and gathered his few belongings that were left here, the things he kept hidden, his mother's possessions that his father thought he'd gotten rid of.

"Well, mom, you can rest in peace now," Kuronue whispered before returning to Ralph.

"Got everything you needed?" Ralph asked and was answered by a nod. "Then let's go. We should be back to Carol's by morning."

Kuronue smiled thinking about Kara. He couldn't wait to get back to her.

"Hey, you're back!" Kara said running over to Kuronue when he got through the security gate of the airport.

"Hey," he said in surprise as she hugged him. "I wasn't expecting to see you here."

"Ralph sent us your flight information," Carol said before kissing Ralph hello.

"Oh, he did, did he?" Kuronue inquired smirking at Ralph who winked at him.

"So it's finally finished?" Kara asked.

Kuronue nodded. "Yeah, it is."

"That's great. Kurama and Jen will be so happy to hear that."

Kuronue smiled down at Kara. "Yeah, we should go call them."

Kara and Kuronue ran out of the airport happily.

"So, is he in the clear?" Carol asked.

Ralph nodded. "He should be. But just to be safe, I already talked to my boss about helping to change his last name. He wanted him mother's maiden name. The guys he threw under the bus won't be able to track him down. My boss is taking care of everything as we speak."

"Kuronue, can I talk to you for a moment?" his business teacher asked when they returned to school.

"Um, sure?" Kuronue questioned.

"Kuronue, why have you changed your last name? I was a little surprised."

"It's classified," Kuronue stated seriously.

"Oh. Anyway, are you planning on taking the second half of the class next semester? You really should. You have a natural talent for business."

"I'm sorry," Kuronue said holding his hand up to stop her, "but I am planning on switching majors."

"Really? But why would you do that?"

Kuronue started walking at the classroom and grinned at his old teacher. "Because business is a prison." He left her to ponder his words and went to go about his day.

"So you finally switched?" Kurama asked.

"Yes," Kuronue replied. "I can't believe the semester is already over. It seems too good to be true."

Kurama chuckled. Other people would think Kuronue was talking about the workload and tests, but he knew differently. "Stop being so on edge, Kuro. Everything is fine now."

"Kurama! Kuronue!" The two boys looked up to see their girlfriends waving at them from a distance.

"Yes, you're right. Everything is fine."

A/N: For those who have been reading and had seen the beginnings of a "Season 2" I decided to scrap it. I ran myself thin with the number of stories I have been doing and thought it would be a better idea to just end it on this positive note instead. I'm glad I left myself an ending where I could do that. Anyways, thanks to all who have read and reviewed the story, and for those who continue to read and review. This being one of my first stories, I'm very thankful for the support I had gotten :3
