Kyoko stormed into her trailer. Rushing off to the private bathroom. She slammed the door behind her. "Get a hold of yourself," She gripped the skin's lip riveting into her own reflection's eyes. She took a deep breath. Her hand shook as it reached for the cold water faucet. It's not that serious. Kyoko cupped her hands. You won't be caught by him for real. She splashed the water onto her face. Unfortunately ruining the magic of her make up.

"It's not like I haven't held you before," reverberated in her thoughts. Tsuruga teased her in between retakes. He was probably trying to ease the tension that she was carrying. With each NG Kyoko's face grew paper pale. She avoided his gaze. Worried, Ren steadily lifted his dark leather gloved hand aiming to place it on her chin. To catch a glimpse into her eyes no doubt. If he looked into her right now it would be all over. He definitely was the last person she wanted to seek comfort from at this second. It's his fault that I am even like this. Kyoko flinched, pulling back before he could even graze her face. Ren jerked his hand away. "Kyoko," The director beckoned her over.

She splashed another cup of cold water onto her face. Reaching for toweling, Kyoko heard a crash hit the ground.

The director released a heavy reluctant sigh. "Maybe it's an off day…" He tried to reason with himself possibly. "It's pretty humid here … maybe that's why." Higher ups were discussing what were their options would be. The assistant director chimed in, "We are kinda pressed for time though." The director scratched his head as he started to ponder, "Sherry can I see the shooting schedule," he asked a nearby crew member. She nodded and hurried herself to get it, "Here you are Sir." The director took the item off her hands, "Thanks". He flipped the pages to this weeks time frame.

Placing a finger on his chin, the Director was considering their opinions with the limited time frame. "John isn't come here till tomorrow …" He muttered to himself. The pages were filled with colorful markings of blues, reds scribbled in it. Dates and times with permits. His finger traced a trail hopefully finding an opening. "But if we can move this around and make it today then we can shoot this problem scene here." His finger pointed to a spot. He leaned the schedule over to show the others.

Tsuruga was in an opened nearby tent while the director and staff murmured about the problem they are facing. Slouching, head leaning in his hands. Heat rising up from the pit of his stomach; reaching the back of his throat. Suppressing the frustration in his veins with slim barrier of his tightly pressed lips. She was acting strange since he arrived on set, there was no doubt about that. Pale sweat. Eyes a glazed. A troubling thunder was already rumbling in his chest.

He tried all he could to be any assistance. But all efforts failed.

The first warning should have been when she stepped away. Creating a distance between them in front of the castle. Ren leaned back into his chair taking in a deep breath. His eyes darted to the right of him. Leather was curling to the sound of rubbing fingers. Ren bit back his irritation and resentment. The memory of thirty mins ago played back in his mind. Her eyes avoiding his gaze. Her problems was his only concern he was interested in. Was trust the issue? Is that why? Just by raising an inch, Kyoko flinched. Kyoko refused to collapse herself into him. She refused to even consider his warmth. Physically and mentally. She won't even consider relying on me.

Ren's irritation grew rapidly. "I'll help you…," protruding his thoughts. How come she's allowed to infringe into my personal thoughts and space. Flashes of current events replayed back in his mind. Ren's nose twitched in grievance. But — He tightly gripped his fist in disdain.— If I even try to go near her— He grip was clenching harder. So much that the pressure could have been felt through the glove. — I get pushed aside. Finally having enough of waiting around Ren heaved himself off of his acting chair. He was staring at the gap of the rift that was being created right before them.

A thought crossed his mind as he walked away from view.

After wadding her face dry, Kyoko peeped down at the floor of her private bathroom. A small coin purse landed on the tile. Gravity must have took hold of it when she nudged her bag reaching for the paper towel. Anxiety spring up in her, "CORN!" She quickly bent to retrieve the pouch. Kyoko clicked the small bag open to investigate the beautiful blue stone. Once discovering that her prized possession was intact she allowed herself to breath. A soft smile crossed her face. She attempted to caress the stone but hesitated for a moment. Kyoko's throat tightened and unknowingly swallowed. She pushed her nerves aside. There must be a reason why Corn landed by my feet right now. She lovingly touched the cold stone. Maybe Corn knew I needed help. Kyoko wished to believe. She let the stone roll onto her bare hand. The coolness soothing her.

The light was peering down from the open window. Wind brushing through the curtains. Kyoko all at once at peace. She glanced up to watch the curtains dance when an idea passed in her mind. Her soft smile grew broader. She rose from her squatting position. Placing Corn back into it's protective cover and headed out.

The rush of water in the distance was stretching beyond it's point. Branches was swaying with the breeze. The trees of the forest hid this small oasis well. Black leather boots landed on the dirty nearby wet ground. A Black cloth of a tunic brushed back and forth in the dirt too. Cool air flowed through the current. Large river rocks settled near the stream. Heavy footsteps made their way to the round boulders. Finding a resting place to claim for the time being, Ren placed himself on the rocks. Admiring the streams rushing waters.

Being by this gorgeous scenery, Kuon thought it would help aid the stinging of his emotional turmoil. But it only made the feeling worse. Giggles of the past echoed in his ears. "Look at this one!" A whole hearted laugh rang in his ears. "Ohhh no! Wait this one!" Ghost of the memory of the girl he once knew came alive in the stream. His mind played it all back. The raven haired girl in pigtails inspecting rocks. Insisting that he should investigate too.

The rustling of the brush near by recalled in his mind. A little girl popping out of green leaves wide eyed and gaping at him adorably. "Are you a fairy?" Her excitement was clearly expressed. Faintly, Kuon smiled. That was back when she would tell me everything. The wind wrestled with the trees once more.

Whispers traveled to reach her ear. The echoes of ghosts beckoning her to follow. Calling out just inaudible enough were she couldn't understand what they was saying. Every step they grew louder, and louder. One faintly sounded like a child's scream begging for someone to come back. Almost is if a spell was just casted on her; she move in a trance.

She knew that there must have been one nearby. The waves dragged out into the forest reaching her ears. Kyoko glanced down at the coin purse as if it was whispering to her. You'll find all your answers near there. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Trying to feel her way around the forest like it was an unknown force. Her fingers wrapped around the stone in the purse. Honing her senses, she isolated the unwanted noise and only focused her attention to one. When she opened her eyes, Kyoko let her legs lead the way.

Pushing back the branches of nearby brush as the river roared louder in her ears. Dividing deep into the puzzle woods. Soon the pieces will all be in places.

Slowly stepping down a cramped coiling steps of the inside castle. The long corridor way layered with stone walls. Poorly dim and damp. Loader the voices cried. Curiosity moving her forward to the end of the hall. BB-8 in tow behind her quietly rolling down the stairs.

Kyoko's path lead her to the edge of the oasis. The rush of the waters was just beyond this single wall of leaves. Her fingers roamed the the cloth of the purse for a moment. Without warning panic vibrated in her body. The voice of Corn finally came to a hush. She fixated her sights on the tiny bag, slowly opening it up once again. Her fingers faithfully went to retrieve the blue cold stone.

Her path stopped at the edge of the hall. A red light indicating a lock pad switched to white. In an instant, the rusted heavy metal shutter door crept open revealing a storage room. BB-8 whined with worry far behind her.

Rey entered the room slowly as the cries went hush. Her eyes fixated on a small wooden chest she motioned toward it. Rey's hands felt the age of the wood as her fingers tailed it. Rusted metal clenching the two parts together; locking it in place. BB rolled in watching Rey squat to get a better view. The lock creaked open while Rey's breath unhinged with it. Guiding the old chest open the joints cranked. Rey peered down into the box to find a cold sliver hilt, halting at first, her hand reached out to grasp the object.

Magic began to perform, transporting her to another narrow dark place. Blue neon lit up a new location of a hallway. Rey felt her heart race with panic in the middle of the path. She turned her head to hear deep machine breath, going in and out. She followed the echos. Every step Rey took made the hall deteriorate causing her to trip on her own two feet.

She looked up to find the amber glow of fire and smoke assaulting her. Clouding her vision. Pushing herself off the ground Rey turned to view a red blade of light penetrate a being. Violently ripping their body. They made a thud as they fell toward her face down. Their handed weapon landing beside the deceased body. Rey jumped up with a fright. Standing in front of her was a monster in a mask. Blade in hand ignited along with it's cross guard. The saber cracking like the flames as his grip relaxed. He made a step forward to her; She made a step back.

Quickly Rey turned to run. Escaping to a snow cap forest. She passed the trees as fast as she could. Her feet crackled in the snow with every single step she took. In a single motion an ignition of a blade was heard. Rey trampled back when the monster in the mask appeared before her eyes once again. Flying backward once more. Sealing her eyes shut as her body hit the ground.

When Rey open her eyes she found that she was back in the long corridor. The mirage finally lifted. She was in a cold sweat as her eyes darted to the figure emerging from the other end of the hallway.

Maz was a tiny, ancient alien with magnifying lenses as her glasses. Able to adjust her vision as to whatever way she sees fit. She owned the castle and every object in it. The wrinkled alien rushed breathlessly at Rey. Rey's heart was beating wildly in her chest. Her face was flushed red with tears in her eyes. She locked her vision with Maz. Mouth forming words before Rey could even think, "Wa—wha—what was that," She whispered at Maz. The alien inspected Rey to make sure there was no injury. She tried to sooth the girl down. "Dear child, I am no jedi. But I know the force," She caressed Rey's hair. "It's in every being. It's in me and it is in you." Rey began to tear up more. Maz pulled Rey's head way from her chest. "The saber it calls to you." Rey intervened, "—I am never touching that thing again!" She shook her head violently side to side. "I have to go back home." Maz let out a reluctant sigh, " When you live long enough, as I have. You begin to see the same eyes in different people. Dear child…" Maz reached for Rey once more. thumb caressing her cheek to wipe a tear.

Kyoko's fingers traced the cool surface of the stone. Watching the sunlight change its color from a royal blue to gold. She took a nervous breath. And slowly found her eyes at the curtain of branches.

"…You already know the truth. The belonging that you seek isn't behind you…"

Tentatively Kyoko lifted an arm to reach back the veil of brush. Her fingers curled onto the branches peeling them away. Her other hand tightly gripped to her treasure. The sun's rays blinding her.

"It's a head."

Eye's adjusted to the light to reveal a prince. The last piece clicked into place.
