Seeing as I suspect a certain someone (Yes I see you there Summer) will be curious and wonder what this is, allow me to explain. This is where I'm putting posts that I have muse for, but currently either haven''t happened yet or may never happen but I have some muse for them in effort to keep my flagging muse alive for a little longer. If this in turn sparks you at all the someone that's lrking there (still see you Summer) then perhaps these may further evolve.....time will tell.

(Post for: Sometime after Jaya leads Kenji into some sort of trap...whatever it may be In this scenario Kenji got out of the trap his identity still intact, but he has to deal with the fact that Jaya still knows his about his alter ego The Ghost.)
The guard stood outside the bar, he seemed nervous. The night was pitch black and shadows kept a lot hidden. He looked around keeping a tough facade but that didn't stop his fingers from dancing nervously on his arm. Suddenly he heard a noise as his head whipped around to see....
Nothing.
The guard relaxed a little as he returned his gaze back to his post, only to find that there was someone standing there, that hadn't been before. A tall man, dressed in a black on black suit. The guard twitched involuntarily before he caught himself and once again relaxed as the man gave a small smile and said " Looks like you've seen a ghost, friend."

A minute or two of small talk and Kenji was passed the guard and soon found himself walking into a dingy bar. One or two people that looked like they had been there for the past few days sat in a dusty booth and a bartender that looked young but had old eyes wiped down a dirty glass, as Kenji stepped to the bar. The bartender gave him a halfhearted nod and said " What'll it be mac?"
"I'm looking for someone, a woman."
"Aren't we all?"
Kenji smirked " You'd remember this one. Dark hair,beautiful smells like sweet desert flowers."
The bartender gestured " Don't think I've got anybody like that around here."
Kenji sighed and said " Look I don't have time for this game so I'll make this simple. Tell me what I want to know and I'll stop doing it."
The batender gave him a funny look " Stop doing what?"
As he said that Kenji grabbed the bartenders tie and viciously yanked down on it, causing the bartender to follow suit and smack his head into the bar. The bartender shook his head reeling fromthe blow when Kenji tugged again slamming the bartenders head down again. The now bleeding bartender quickly gasped out " In back!"
"Now that wasn't so hard now was it?" Kenji asked as he released the bartenders tie and made his way toward the back and down a hallway. At the end of the hallway there stood to more guards, they were gaurding what seemed like a blank wall. However as Kenji apporached one of them growled "Password?'
Kenji made a show of thinking "Hmmm.....I'm not sure exactly, no wait I think it was," he then moved as the section of his metal gauntlet he had hidden under the sleeves of his suit jacket slid and shaped into two sharp blades as he pressed them to the the guards jugulars and said said softly " let me in or I slit your throats." They paused for a moment and the one of them moved their leg and then the wall slid away revealing a staircase leading down.
Kenji retracted the blades and walked past the guards " Much appreciated fellas." and continued on his way down

As he descended the stairs it was like night and day difference. As his feet hit the bottom star he found himself in another bar, though this one all polished wood, and well dressed crowd. There was even a dance floor as several couples were cutting a rug to the lunge singer and musical accompaniment. Kenji blended in well enough, and seeing as most of the people here wouldn't know him from the next guy he was bale to wind his way around the various Terra Triad heavy hitters that populated this hidden bar. However he was looking for someone specific and soon enough he spotted her. At a table, facing the bandstand, a bottle of light airy looking liquid in a bucket of ice by her side.
Pulling out a pocket watch from his inside jacket pocket he looked at it briefly and then tucked it back into his jacket as he quietly approached her table. When he reached it he picked up the bottle and refilled the empty flute and then moved to the other side as he revealed himself to her as he poured another flute for himself "I was trying to think of a good one-liner for this moment. Something like 'I think our relationship is on the rocks' or 'Hey doll, you really put me between a rock and and hard place.' In the end I decided to go with something a bit more classic."
He then sat down in the chair across from Jaya and he gave a smile that held no warmth and in an equally cold tone he said " I'm disappointed." He paused and then reached into his pocket and pulled out the copper lotus flower she had given back to him some time ago as he placed it in the center of the table and then continued " Long before I met you Jaya, there was a different set of rules I followed and the most important one, was,if you take a shot at the king, then you'd better not miss." He paused and then said "You had me so wrapped up I was blind to the game you were playing, you had me locked in...and then you missed Jaya."
He then clinked his glass against hers casually as he took a sip from his flute. His eyes calm and steady, were locked onto hers.
