With just the flick of the wrist the deed was done. There was no tuning back for Kuon now. Signing those papers was him signing away his soul to the devil. In a short amount of time he will officially be on his way back to California. Facing his worst nightmares head on. Seeing the ghost of Rick in every street he will turn; in every face he will see. He reached for a drink as the flashbacks poured. On repeat, it played out again. Screams of the woman calling him a monster rang in his mind. Their haunting was something he should be used to by now. He huffed at his pain. The burn of the whisky engulfed him. It lingered in the back of his throat. Leaning his head back to the edge of the couch in deep thought. So sure that he would not get any sleep again tonight.

Since stepping back into Japan, Kyoko's life was on none stop training session. Her days went from physical training with weights, to swords, to god knows what else for that day. She was on strict diet and barely had time to herself; let alone anyone else. If she did run into anyone it was usually a quick encounter and off she was again. Today she had one of those times…

Making her way through the L.M.E halls she saw a tall figure in front of her. With his physical data stored in her mind. A single glance was all she needed to easily recognize his back. There he was, Ren Tsuruga talking to a staff member of their company. Effortlessly flawless as usual. Absentmindedly running one of hands through his hair. Brushing the stands away from his face. He's smile had a glow around him that could hurt your eyes.

Maybe it was the fact that she hasn't seen him in a while. Or Maybe it is this pesky emotion that she has been harboring has gone haywire again. But he had an air about him. Tsuruga's muscles seemed more toned; his body a bit bulky. Definitely more in athletic shape than she remembered. She could feel her body heating up a bit, as she admired the man. He then glanced over to notice her. His lips pilled into a bigger smile, "Ah, it's been a while Mogami- san". She shielded her eyes. " It's good to see you, Tsuruga-san." He gestured for her to come closer to him as the third party took their leave. "How have you been," She asked stepping toward the man. Getting a closer inspection of the details of his face. Kyoko saw the bags under that man's eye. He looked indeed worn out.

Ren eyed the woman up and down when she was moving in closer him. He could tell that she was more toned then before. "As of now I am doing well," He responded back to her. She was about to say something else but then she started to vibrate. Ren couldn't help but let out a light laugh, "Mogami- san, your phone." She frantically started to look in her bag for her cell phone. She looked at the caller ID. She then turned her attention back at actor, "I'm sorry, I have to take this." He nodded, "I understand. I need to get going myself." She rushed off to her next training appointment.

The hours rolled by…

It was another late night filled with unwanted echoes of burning rubber running through his ears mixing with the thunder outside. Tsuruga clutched to the character notes trying to figure out how to portray this new character. Ren already decided he was going to let his darkness be; not to run away from it. But all his childhood trauma was creeping up on him was taking it's toll. Murder—Tina's curdling words rang in his mind. Monster. Anxiety and panic beat through his open chest. He clenched his watch tight. It didn't take him long to figure out how he wanted to act this new persona.

With another thunder tumbling in the background, his door bell was pressed. Ren put his notes away and went to open the door.

She knew it was late at night but— Kyoko's brows scrunched together. He doesn't look like he's taking care of himself. She thought. The door opened to find a half dressed man answering it. Ren was in his sleeping attire staring down confused at what is transpiring in front of his door. Kyoko's inner demons ordered her to remain calm. Screaming frantically that they were under attack. The actor was about to say something, but before he could get a word in Kyoko was ready to throw herself at his feet for forgiveness. Anticipating this, her forehead met with the palm of his hand,"Just, please come in."

The light placement of a tea cup could be heard between them as Ren Tsuruga sat across for the girl. He glanced over at the time; 1 am. Then back at the girl whom was soaking wet underneath the towels. He refused to let his mind wonder about how alluring she looked with her clothing clinging on her. Kyoko spoke up, " I'm sorry, I was just worried about you." Ren's head tilted with interest and confusion, "Worried?" She nodded,"When I saw you today…you looked over tired." He blinked in surprise, was he that easy to read to her now? A clam wave overcame him. Urging his to stand, "You could have just called Mogami-san." Ren turned to his one of his closets. Searching for something reasonable for her to change into. She humbly turned her eyes away, "Well we both know how you can get with your eating habits." He couldn't help scuff a bit at the girl, "You came here at 1 am in the pouring rain just to feed me?" Rush of a light tint of red was now spreading across her face. "It was the only time I had!" She avoided his eye contact. Ren tried hold back his charmed smirk as hard as he could. She looked too adorable. She doesn't realize how dangerous it is for her to be here. He thought to himself. Fighting back every instinct to wrap his arms around her. A playful idea crossed his mind. Getting the baggy cloths out Ren strode back to the couch. His lips curved into puppy pout, "Eating now will just get me fat." Her eyes glazed at him in slight annoyance, "Don't give me that— That Cain, teenage girl impression." Kyoko stood defiantly facing the man head-on. An index finger poked his exposed chest jerking a chuckle to escape him, "If you would just eat right then I wouldn't have to worry". Ren couldn't help but boyishly smile. His own hand snaked up to capture her finger. Leaning down close to her face his lips twitched. His dark eyes triangulated from her mouth, face to connecting back to her, "Ah.. I see." His focus was straight into her eyes. Sucking out her soul. His aura formed an aroma of his famous 'emperor of the night' mist. Hot breath ghosted her face. His hungry eyes lingered, peering right into her. Damn heart was beating out of her chest. Reality crept back into his face. As Ren saw her body freeze, pulling himself away. Placing a barrier, his cloths plopped on her, "Only a light meal, and you can stay the night. I'll set up the guest room." His footsteps racing in her ears as she watched the man turn around and walk away. Withheld shivers finally was allowed vibrating down her spine. It really has been too long, She thought. I'm not used to his demon king side anymore. Slowly tearing her eyes away, Kyoko made her way to prepare for the night.

Not much after a month of training, an ominous man in a suit knocked on both of our heroes doors. He would hand one a contact agreeing that they have in fact received the documents and will again not leaking this information to the public. Once signed the man handed them a black briefcase. He wouldn't say much words when interacting with either one of them. He just took his leave after that the transaction was done. When opening the case a stack of papers could be seen, Final Script: Force Awakens. The real journey was about to begin.
