The Return (Closed)

It was time. Time to take back control of his life. He was sick of running away from his troubles, this would be the last time. Returning back to Tokyo, Japan, he enlisted the help of Kyoko one last time. Help him return to the life he once had, and would have soon enough. Taken to the private hospital, this would be the last time he would willingly be sliced open. Knocked out by the anesthetic, the doctor began the job... and giving back Kazuya the life he had tried to escape from. Jasper Wesley, the identity he had taken on to run away from his troubles, was gone, the official excuse that since he was the only son, he would be the one to take over as head of his grandfather's company, and thus, would be working in the company as preparation for such a daunting prospective. As for Kazuya? He would be returning to San Diego after recovering from his illness, and this time, no one would know he was back. The procedure complete, Kazuya was resting in the recovery ward, looking just as he had been before the side effects of the serum had struck him, but as a result, his hair was turned back to dark blue once more. A few days later, he was discharged, fully recovered, and would be heading to San Diego soon, but he wouldn't be going back alone, just like last time, Kyoko would be going with him. During the time Kazuya had been recuperating in the hospital, his sister managed to contact their great-grandfather, their father's grandfather, whom she learned was still alive after all those years. Overwhelmed from learning his great-grandchildren were still alive, he promised to help find Luyu Kodiak, the woman whom Kazuya considered his real mother, having returned to the position of head of Hikari Industries from Mr. Hawthorne, until either Kyoko or Kazuya were old enough to take over.

Standing outside Hikari Industries in Tokyo, now more than ever, he was determined to take back control of his life. He had always admired his father as a child, even now, though he had been dead for 3 years, he still admired his father, enough that he fought to keep Awren Technologies from completely taking over Hikari Industries a year ago. Although Awren Technologies managed to take over the branches of Hikari Industries, both he and Kyoko fought tooth and nail to keep them from taking over the main branch, and their efforts paid off. The first branch of Hikari Industries, the one that his father had been head of, was still here to this day. He prayed that his father would give him a little of his fighting spirit, and courage. Heading towards the limo waiting to take him to the airport, Kazuya paused, and turned to look back at Hikari Industries. He was going to face not just his problems head on, but now more than ever, he was determined to find Luyu... No matter how long it took, he was going to find her... And he was going to start at the location he had ran away from. He was going back to San Diego... and the institute... for good this time. No more running away.
