He could feel the pricks of Yashiro's stare, daunting him in the silence of his dressing room. Ren Tsuruga was resting his head on his hand in lax position. Focusing his sight on his current scene script. Eyes honing in on the words: She falls into—. "I don't believe you," the silence was broken. Ren lifted his eyes away from the page to see his manger. He made a questioning 'hmm' to Yashiro. "I don't believe you," Yashiro spat out through his grimacing frown. All Ren could do was tilt his head in confusion. "The other day you said that nothing happened." This caused Ren to blink a few times. "In the hotel room, …the night you…" Hit John? The incident sparked back in his memory. Innocent golden doe eyes peering into him lingered in Kuon's mind. A smirk fought to be on Ren's lips as he tried to still feign ignorance. "Nothing happened that night," Ren reassured his manager who just rolled his eyes.

Quite some time has passed since that fateful night stay. The memory of her voice rumbling through his ears, "Ren," still leaves a stain in him. What would he give to have her say it once more. To have her just a inch away that he could feel her breath brushing up against him. To desperately earn tangible evidence of a close bond. Or was he being too selfish for a simple taste of intimacy. That night felt like all the stars had allied together. His mind went numb just by having her voice wear his name. The morning after was a splash of cold water that just hit is face. Some heavenly being definitely must have been laughing at him. When she said that her acting soul took over it was adding salt to the initial wound. "Your costume is ready," The assistant knocked at the door. Ren placed the stack of papers down on the desk, "Yashiro I don't know what else to tell you. You are just going to conjure up whatever conclusion anyway." Ren stood up from his chair and made his way towards the door. "Are you coming along," He titled his head curiously at his manger. Yashiro let out a disappointed sigh and followed the actor.

Ren stumbled repeatedly trying to get to set with his mask on. If he had to name one thing he despises with his role as Kylo Ren. It had to be the fact that it was hard to see where he was going when he was properly clothed. The woods of Puzzlewood, England didn't help with the matter. Even with Yashiro by his side, Ren tripped over his own two feet constantly on this unstable ground. Earning a whole hearted laugh form his manager, "Poised Tsuruga, tripping over a twig." Stopping in his tracks the monster underneath the mask, Kylo slowly turned, "What did you say?" His costumes mechanical voice added an eerie tone. Being fully covered did not aid to keep the murder in his voice with his current situation. Dark clouded venom was seeping out in his stance. A deathly chill breezed Yashiro's spine as he felt Kylo's poison. Just by his the stare even through it's mask. Yashiro let out a gulp,"Nothing." Not another word fell out of his lips.

They were quiet approaching the set. Ren was simply amazed that he found his way. "Mr. Tsuruga," The set director called out to get his attention. He swiveled his head to the source then made his way to the person beckoning him.

Kuon looked over across the greenery of the lavished woods to find only her. Sunlight was peeping through the brush of the trees danced around her ash brown wig. Strands of the wig's hair curling around to frame her face perfectly. The rest was neatly placed in three tight buns trailing downwards from smallest to largest aligning with her spine. The way the light reflected made a glow to her tan clothes. It matched the warmth she always gave off. Unaware, alway unaware as her back was facing most of the staff. This wasn't the first time Kyoko bewitched him. And Kuon could never break this spell even if he tried.

Kyoko standing still, eyeing the castle, Kuon concluded. Thanking the heavens, his mask hid his face well. No one could tell what he was longing at even when speaking to the set director. His voice just humming in agreement with whatever they say. Kylo had constricted view away. It was hard to see let alone move his body round. His body heated it's core when the director coaxed her to turn around. Making her look at the lush of the woods. Her face was scrunching with delight picturing fairytales. He couldn't tell what the director was feeding into her ear but judging by the look in her eye… she was definitely stepping into her own world again. Her eyes landed on Ren as the director whispered in her ear. Her face went crimson scarlet as the director left her with parting words. What did he say, echoed in his mind.

A growl trembled in him of a beast that was edging to come out. The both of the directors left to do something else leaving him standing there. Locking eyes with her. Ren was frozen. Kyoko tuned back to the castle clenching at her tan top. Tugging on for dear life. Uncontrollable, his legs gained a will of their own.

Tha-thump; Tha-thump; Tha-thump — The rhythm of her heart sounded like heavy steps in her ears. Kyoko took a gulp, as her own fantasy turned into a nightmare. Her entire life she wished with all her might to be like one of the princesses in those story books. Even a few months back, she deemed the title 'Princess Rey' to aid her gain some aspect the role. But when their director dressed the scene and possibly the overall tone of this franchise…. Instead of heaven's gates opening up; it was hell's pit. The words that he implied meant only one thing, they were both the leads. More than just opposites to one another.It was far different than when she thought they were two halves of a whole. Or maybe she just refused to travel that far with the idea of where their characters could lead.

Her chest tightened. She recalled receiving her precious Corn stone back from her senpai after he place it with a peck. Way back when they were filming Dark Moon. An evil spell was woven into that kiss, she could sense it even now. Whispers, You were doomed from the start. A new image recalled back to her mind. It was a spell that was cemented when Tsuruga kissed her cheek. Leaving a trail of where that curse should land, on her. Replaying back a thousand memories. Time stood still thinking about everything that they went through.

She looked so tiny compared to him. Leaning down intruding her thoughts;Ren's mechanical voice hid his smile,"What's the matter turtle girl?" Kyoko yipped up in shock. Feeling the heat of the humid forest Kuon could not take much longer of this mask. Tearing the heavy object off his neck, he allowed himself to breath.

Glistening with sweat. Ink hair splattered around his face from the helmet. She looked at him with a wide eye gaze. As he nonchalantly whipped the hairs that stuck to him. Kyoko's head was underwater just by seeing the way the light hit his perfect features. She was watching his mouth move but the words were muffled till she came to the surface, "—Love Me girl." Excuse me? She unclogged her ears.

Kuon already had a smirk pulling at his lips, "You alright, Love Me girl?" He didn't know what urged him to tease her like this but felt natural to do so in this get up. She blinked for a second. The words took some time to register in her mind. Coming to realization her eyes narrowed, La—love me? Turtle girl? A bell rang of another forest. He hasn't called me names in months maybe well over a year. Turtle girl was back when he picked me up. It snapped a nerve with her. Kyoko's body willed on it's own giving him a soft push. (It was with all her force.) Ren couldn't help but scoff when he recovered from her nudge. "What are you so afraid of," He teased.

Her heart skipped a beat. She felt her body be under a microscope. Was he reading my mind before? One grudge hovered over her, Don't be ridiculous he was just lucky. Another one crept out, But Tsuruga-san sometimes— Kyoko's mouth went dry, "I'm not afraid of anything," She lied. Kyoko took a step back to put some distance between them. An act which gained a repercussion: a concerned senpai. Ren squinted at her skeptically, "The way you are behaving says otherwise." His stare was a heavy weight to bare. When finally he looked beyond their bubble. She followed Ren's darting gaze to find an assistant walking over to them, "Miss Mogami we are starting back up soon." Kyoko gave a small nod to the woman, "Alright thank you." Turning her attention back at the man beside her. Ren let out a breath as their eyes connected back together. A calm expression was displayed on his face, "You should go." Kyoko returned in kind a smile and she took another small step back, "I'll see you in the next scene." After that they parted.

Heavy footsteps stalked under an arc of the ruined remains of Maz's Castle. Troopers in white were fight the resisting forces. Blasting whomever was blasting back. "Sir, the droid was spotted west with a girl," One of the troopers stated to their superior, Kylo Ren. His body whipped to the told direction to the forest.

Bushes ruffled as they were being pulled back. Rey spied on the castle foreground viewing the latest destruction taking place. BB-8 popping up from the bush whistling, "whoa-oh," with his beeps. Rey pushed the ball down, "Shhh." They both backed away from sight. "BeeBee listen to me head that way out of view," Rey pointed to a direction. The droid beeped at the girl, "Don't worry about me. I can handle myself. Just keep out of sight." Another blast rumbled the grown under them. "Go!" The droid hesitated but followed her orders. Speed rolling deeper into the forest. Rey went the other direction.

Rey traveled deeper in the forest passing mossy boulder path. The sound of the woods went a hush as the trees closed in on her. The wildlife stilled to not even a single tweet of a native bird. CRACK— Rey whipped around to the sound of a twig breaking. Fingers grasped her small blaster from her belt with a unsteady hand. She extended her gun straight a head. Roaring of unidentifiable source traveled through the air waves of the forest. Bouncing off of the entirety of woods making it difficult to pinpoint the location. She almost tripped back when her shaking feet hooked on to an arching root. She turned a split second to steady her footing. In the shadows the roaring grew louder; cranks and crackles of a untamed fire drawing near. Rey let out shuttered breath darting her eyes wildly in every direction.

Out of darkness emerged a creature in a mask with an ancient weapon in hand. A weapon Rey only heard about in passing with long winded myths of Jedi knights. Stories claim their preferred choice of weaponry was a thing call a Lightsaber. But this wasn't how it was usually decried to be. It's beam was cracking like a controlled flame to match the burning intensity color of the red beam. At it's hilt: two smaller ones, similar in nature were perpendicular to main blade creating a crossguard. Panic crept in. Not even giving a second thought, Rey pulled the trigger of her tiny baster. Aiming for the masked being.

Kylo swayed his large blade to deflected the basters from hitting their mark. The beams landed on the opposite side of the cramped bouldered path. Crashing against the debris of the wood away from both of them. He watched the human run in fear. His eyes focused on the them while she climbed upward to gain higher ground. Kylo pursued as if this was a game. He did not run; he did not chase, simply walked defecting more shots. Eventually having enough of this play, Kylo deflected one last stray blast and froze the girl with a lift of his hand.

Kyoko's face was plastered in fear as she watched Ren lower his palm. He come to a halt in his dark persona. Taking shallow breaths when she saw his head make an exaggerated (and obvious) gaze over her body. Her own mask of Rey was barely hanging on. Weighted steps came closer as Ren closed in on her.

Stopping an arms length away. Ren studied her face behind the mask. When he finally spoke he sounded amazed, "The girl I hear so much about." Ren walked around her paralyzed body slowly, "So afraid." Kyoko's heart was drumming in her ears. "Yet…I should be the one that should be scared. You shot first, knowing nothing about me." Ren stopped in his tracks behind the girl back to back. A beat a silence came between them. Kyoko's mind went blank forgetting her lines. An electric roar of the red blade came up. Close to her face. Certainty close enough to feel the swelter of the saber.

Kylo's head tilted in curiosity. His brows knitted together under his mask, "Something…" He sounded almost mystified. He pulled back the blade. Shutting down and belting his saber. Kylo circled the girl. He moved in closer to her face scanning every outline. "Who are you?" Reaching up slowly Ren almost grazed her face. Information was downloading into his mind about her. Believing he found the reason that peaked his interest Ren drew his face near. Invading her space, his face so close that they were almost touching. "You've seen it! The map!"

Kylo halted the probing as the sound of explosions vibrated under them. The ground rumbled and shook violently. Ren turned his head to the sound of the destruction. "Sir, Resistance fighters!" A trooper came to search for him. Ren took to consider his opinions as he slowly turned back to face the girl, "Pull the troops out." He rose his hand close to her face again, "We have what we need".

Kyoko stood there frozen while Tsuruga arched out his arms awaiting for her to fall. Comedic awkward silence rolled on the outdoor stage set. It threw everyone off this 'serious' scene.

It happened multiple times. At the same spot.

Causing the director call cut he beckoned Kyoko over.

They stood secluded for the crew members. "Why aren't you falling," He ask. I swore I would fall again that's why! She bellowed at the director in her thoughts. Kyoko hesitated, "…I'm just scared." She was honest in her answer. The director's eyebrows came together in a bewildered fashion, "Kyoko … Ren will catch you." No he wont. Kyoko knew she was being superstitious. She knew that was far from what the filmmaker really had in mind. But she treated that answer is if it was a loaded gun. If he did that would be worse. All she wanted to do was run.
