Authors Note: The inner struggle of a man fighting against his demon. A young woman's curiosity about the man she'd been gaga over since he'd saved her. A demons desire for...SOMETHING or SOMEONE.

Small explanation 1: The reason Kimiko refers Prince Devitt/Fergal Devitt simply as Devitt? Because she didn't initially know what his first name really was and she REFUSED to call him Prince.

Small explanation 2: Kimiko's 'native' tongue is Japanese. She IS fluent in English even though she doesn't like speaking English because her accent doesn't allow for MUCH of her English to be understandable AND she does tend to slip back into Japanese if she gets frustrated.

Prologue Part 4 - Departure

One week later

Kimiko had gotten out of the car and had walked into the stairway up to her apartment - ANYONE who lived in the complex for any length of time knew better then to use the elevator, it got stuck more often then not. - she walked up to her floor and to the door to her room but someone was sitting in front of it. His knees pulled up to his chest, arms wrapped around his legs, his head leaning on his knees, she asked, 'Devitt'? - His head shot up to look at her. - She could tell by the way he looked that he was tired, she asked, 'Are you okay'? He slowly stood up and said, 'I need sleep'. She was confused and said, 'Okay. I'm not sure what you want ME to do about that'. She unlocked and opened her door, walked inside, she held the door for Devitt, closed the door, and asked, 'Really, what do you expect ME to do about your insomnia? I don't have any medication to knock you out'. He turned to face her and said, 'I don't need medication'. She was confused and said, 'Then I don't know what - ' He cut her off by pinning her against the door and saying, 'I need YOU'. - IT was driving him crazy. IT wasn't letting him sleep, even when he had gotten medicine to sleep, he was SO tired. He knew he'd regret it, but IT wanted her, and he was SO desperate to sleep. - He kissed her, she wrapped her arms around his neck, he pulled back ever so slightly, and asked, 'Can I have you'? - She found his sleep-deprived brain to actually be a turn-on. - She decided to play a little though and said, 'Mayyybe'. He asked, 'What do you want'? - She thought for a moment being saying, 'I want to see YOUR apartment'. He asked, 'That's all'? She nodded and said, 'Uh huh'.

They had went to his apartment and she couldn't keep from laughing at his collection of Lego's, what a thing for a grown man to collect. - She wrapped her arms back around his neck and asked, 'NOW, where were we'? He pinned her against the wall and said, 'I think about HERE'. He kissed her. His right hand found its way to the back of her left leg, wrapping it around his waist, her wrapping the other around his waist as well. He slid his hands under her shirt, and took it off her. It wasn't nearly as easy for her to get HIS shirt off since she had her legs wrapped around his waist. Carrying her to his bedroom, he sat her at the foot of the bed, sat behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, he kissed the side of her neck, the back of her neck, her shoulder. His hands finding the clasp on the front of her bra, undoing the clasp, and slidding her bra off her. She spun around, straddled his legs, wrapped her arms back around his neck, his hands finding the button of her jeans, unbuttoning the button, unzipping her jeans, she followed suit and did the same with his. It took a moment to work their way out of their jeans and underwear, but once they did, he pinned her down on the bed with her arms among her head and his face only a couple inches away from hers when he said, 'We're going to find out just HOW FAR I can take you'. - She felt as he slid inside her, thrusting slowly at first and then steadily faster and harder. He put his hands on her thighs, and was pulling her toward him with each thrust. - Her back bowing as she orgasmed but he wasn't nearly done yet. - He had her orgasming MULTIPLE more times until she was begging him to stop. - He withdrew from her and through heavy breathing he said, 'Mortals have NO sense of TRUE pleasure. I could make you feel SO MUCH more then you could EVER imagine IF you would let me'. - Weakly, she propped herself up with her right arm and her eyes went wide. Where his skin had gray after their last encounter was now a mix of black, red, and white. - He smiled and said, 'Hello love'. - She pulled her knees up to her chest, backing up against the head of the bed and her eyes started to fill with tears. - Approaching her, he put his hand on her cheek, she recoiled away. - He looked hurt and asked, 'Love'? She shouted, 'Stop calling me that'! - He asked, 'Don-don't you recognize me'? She rubbed her eyes to clear the tears and thought before answering, 'You're Fergal Devitt...but...you're...YOU'RE what I remember saving me...keeping those men from hurting me MORE then they already had'. He smirked and said, 'Not exactly'. Her eyes went wide again and he said, 'Oh...I am most certainly what saved you BUT...I'm NOT Fergal Devitt...not exactly anyways. He's my vassal'. She asked, 'Then...WHO...or WHAT...are you'? He said, 'Put simply, my name is Balor'. - She already seemed scared enough, so he decided against telling her just yet that he was also the Demon King. - She asked, 'What happened to Devitt'? He said, 'Don't worry, he'll be fine'. When she said nothing more, he continued, 'I do have a favor to ask'. She said, 'Okay'. He said, 'I need rest. Can you watch over my vassal until I recover'? She nodded and he said, 'Thank you, love'. He closed his eyes and collapsed, his skin fading back to its normal tone.

April 7, 2014

Leader of the Bullet Club, Prince Devitt resigns from NJPW. - Kimiko had known since March he was leaving, not just the promotion but also Japan. But, Kimiko didn't understand what had happened. She'd officially met Balor but when Devitt woke up, he quickly distanced himself from Kimiko. And, truthfully, she hadn't spoken to him since then. Had she done something WRONG?

Kimiko had learnt how to do Kenny Omega's One-Winged Angel, which she called Shinigami Driver and it became her secondary finisher. Her third being a guillotine choke submission she called Asakura's Wrath. - While she'd headlined another FIVE shows, it just didn't feel the same. What had she done to cause Devitt to push her away so...quickly?

July 4, 2015

Finn Balor becomes NXT Champion at The Beast in the East in Tokyo, Japan. - Kimiko had bought a ticket hoping to speak with Devitt after the show, to figure out what she'd done wrong but security kept her from doing so. She knew that Devitt had seen her though, he'd looked RIGHT AT HER...or maybe more accurately THROUGH her.

It was driving her into a deep-seated depression, she HAD to know what had caused Devitt to so quickly push her away! - Was there more to why Devitt hadn't wanted to get involved with her? Was there ANY way that it was really Balor's desire?

She curled into a ball on her couch and began to cry. - Six...seven...SOME number of new headlining shows...she didn't care. She did her job and then left. Fan signings, she ignored them. Meet and greets, to hell with them.

A knock at the door, she closed her eyes...she didn't care. If she could just close herself from the world and DISAPPEAR she would. - Another knock at the door, she put her hands over her ears. - ANOTHER knock at the door and she shouted, 'GO AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE'! - Another knock at the door and she could've sworn she'd heard a voice following it. - Another knock at the door, she uncovered her ears, and heard, 'Kimiko. It's Devitt'. - She jumped up, rushed over to the door, opened the door, and couldn't resist smiling before folding her arms, frowning, and asking, 'What the hell, Devitt'? - He stepped inside, closed the door, and said, 'Kimiko, I know you expected more out of me and I'm sorry I couldn't give it to you'. She asked, 'WHY did Balor ask me to watch you and then you IMMEDIATELY distanced yourself'? He said, 'I-I-I can't let him get to you...consistently'. She said, 'Yeah well, by the sound of it, HE cares more about me then YOU do'! He shouted, 'Dammit all, Kimiko! Balor is THE MOTHERFUCKING DEMON KING! He wants to make you HIS QUEEN'! Her mouth dropped open, her eyes going wide, and she said, 'But...he...he...I thought...' Her eyes filled with tears. - He realized he'd made a HORRIBLE mistake. He cared about her enough to keep her safe from Balor no matter WHAT Balor did to him as punishment...and Balor had been doing PLENTY to punish him since he first pushed her away after Balor had asked her to watch him. BALOR protected her, BALOR loved her, BALOR wanted to make her his queen...maybe...MAYBE Balor did have a heart. - She dropped to her knees as she began to cry. He knelt down in front of her and said, 'Kimiko, I...I...I'm sorry'. Through her tears, she asked, 'Tell me, he's a part of you, can the Demon King CARE'? He said, 'He only cares about me because he HAS too, I'm his vassal. But, I...I think with him wanting to make you HIS queen...he cares A LOT about you even though I WANTED to keep him away from you...I think...it was a mistake'.

Two days later

While Kimiko had been working for different women's promotions in Japan since she was still sixteen...almost seventeen, she hadn't been under ACTUAL contract with ANY promotion since the end of 2014. She had gotten an offer from WWE in October of 2014 but told them she couldn't accept until her current contract ran out at the end of 2014. One way or another she had planned to find out what had been going on in Devitt's head. Since she now knew though AND had FINALLY received word that her visa had been approved, now she just had to get packed and then book a flight to Orlando.
