Epilogue

Leo's POV

Tony is standing beside me as I hand over a small backpack of supplies to Kyogen. He is in his human form, two toned eyes watching me curiously as Ian finishes prepping their motorcycle.

"This should be enough money to help out guys out if you need it," Tony states gently, "Keep in touch and be careful."

"The Foot clan will be looking for you guys," I remind them gently.

Ian walks up and nods. They've already said their goodbyes to everyone else.

"Thank you," Kyogen whispers, giving me a half-smile, "You…showed me what I needed to see."

I smile at him.

"Kyogen, you know you guys can stay. You don't have to leave," I tell him gently, giving Ian a smile as well.

The two young men share a glance and a smile.

"We know," Ian states softly, "But…New York isn't safe for us and there's so much that we'd like to see."

"We'll probably come back, but a road trip and hiding out for now until things calm down a bit seems safer," Kyogen states, "With me out of town, the clan will leave you guys alone for the most part. I'm their property but I can leave."

I chuckle softly and Tony smiles beside me.

"Be careful," I request as Kyogen hugs me and then Tony afterward.

"Kyogen?" I hear a soft voice inquire.

We turn to see Uen, holding Fae.

"We wanted to say goodbye," she whispers, smiling shyly at her brother.

Fae smiles in delight.

"Kyo!" she greets, "Hug?"

Kyogen smiles and nods.

He's come a long way in the past six months, I've taught him to curb his anger and bloodlust with meditation and helped him come to terms with his parentage as well as his sexuality.

He is as deeply loyal to Ian as Ian is to him.

They will take care of each other. Rae has finally accepted that the two want to leave for safety and for their own sakes.

Both young men grew up faster than they should've, one more so than the other, but they are adults now and they want space to explore themselves.

Tony is still recovering. He's not as young as he once was and formally retired as of last month from his job.

He wants a quiet life now, his lines will continue to sell and he'll still do some designing on the side but he no longer has to scramble to keep up with everything.

He has enough money saved and enough coming in from sales of his line that he'll never really need to work again anyway.

Don and Ellie have welcomed twins into their lives a boy William Antreaus Hamato and Willow Lolani Hamato.

Rae and Raph are starting to get more serious as Sadie has taken a shine to Rae. She adores Ian as well and the two sent hours together as Ian healed.

"Ian?" I hear Sadie inquire as if on cue.

Ian glances towards her and smiles, walking over to her before offering a hug.

"I'll miss you," she states, hugging him tightly.

"I'll miss you too, take care of mom for me ok?" he asks.

She nods in response.

Rae and Raph walk up to say goodbye and after a few moments when Rae finally lets go of Ian.

My son and Raph's step-son as odd as that sounds, climb onto the bike together. Ian is in back, hugging Kyogen tightly as Kyogen kicks back the stand and revs the engine so he doesn't tip.

Then they are gone, slipping away into the night.

Take care of each other.

A/N: Thanks for hanging on for the ride folks! Whew! There will be about three One-shots after this but this is the last book of the What We Hide Series. There will be a short story about Ian and Kyogen in the future titled Silent Secrets.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed it meant tons!
