《Far Away, In Another Place | Ruikasa》Part 4 - "Don't Go..."
Advertisement
Today's his last day... Today, he's leaving... I sat up from my bed and stared out my window. The birds sang their lovely tunes, people walked their dogs, children got on the bus for school. Peaceful... I stood up and went to my mirror. I looked different with the bags and dark circles under my eyes. I had taken Sakis makeup things to cover them up. No one should know I'm sad. Stars can't be sad. They should be smiling and making others smile. . . I'm not fit to be a star. I can't smile all the time. I can't always make people smile. Rui is the one who makes me a star. But by myself? I'm no star at all. I'm nothing but a fallen leaf on the ground. No purpose but to just sit on ground and rot away.
Once I covered up my eyebags, I put on a smile and left my room.
"Good morning Tsukasa! You're happy today!" Saki smiled.
"Yup! A star is always happy!" I answered.
Saki laughed, "I'm going over to Ichikas, see you in a bit!"
"See you later Saki!" I waved.
She grabbed her bag and left the house.
I also made my way downstairs. I wasn't going to see Rui, I couldn't. If I saw him, I'd just break down in tears.
I sat at the kitchen table and turned on my phone. My lock screen showed up. Me and Rui doing a funny pose, smiling, having fun. If only things could stay that way...
I set my head on the table. He's leaving soon...
*KNOCK KNOCK*
I stood up and walked to the door. I took a deep breath before opening the door.
"Hello-" I was interrupted by someone hugging me. "Rui..." I felt tears coming but I pushed them back.

"I'm leaving, so I wanted to say goodbye." He gently placed his lips on mine. He kissed me. One last kiss. A kiss I'll probably never get again.
He pulled away after. "Goodbye, my love."
I tried to speak, but I couldn't. Nothing would come out. Don't go. Rui, please don't leave me! He got in their car. It started driving off. Please don't go... The car was long gone by then. I shut the door trying to keep the tears in again. I couldn't. They started pouring out of my eyes. I wiped them away but more kept coming.
Rui... Why did you have to leave me when I need you the most? Why would you go? Why couldn't you just stay? Why did you leave me here? I can't do this.
(BRO IM LISTENING TO MUSIC RN WHILE WRITING THIS AND FRANCIS FOREVER BY MITSKI JUST CAME ON)
"Tsukasa? Everything alright?"
I turned my head to see the mirage of KAITO popping out of my phone.
"Y- Yea." I said still trying to wipe the tears away.
"It's okay Tsukasa, Miku and I are here if you need to talk."
"Im okay- Well- R- Rui moved away, and I- I just don't know what to do."
"Don't worry Tsukasa, you can always text him to come meet you in the SEKAI and make plans on what to do next."
"You're right. I'm so stupid heh."
"Your not stupid, your just feeling a little sad right now."
The tears finally stopped. "Thanks KAITO. I feel- better now."
"That's good, if you need to talk to anyone, we're here," he smiled.
"Thank you."
"Oh Miku's calling me, I hope you feel better! Bye!"
"Bye," I waved.
I stood up and went to my room. Everything is going to be okay.
Tsukasa... I'm sorry. I didn't want to leave you either...

The City of the Dragon Twisted
. 🐉 . The City of The Forever-Peace witnesses a pale young Buddhist Monk fighting his fearful thoughts of whether to cross the borders to Nepal and India against the death penalty. Why would that matter? In that September Autumn night of circa A.D.655, Emperor Táme’ Tie’-Zeon has been ruling an empire spanning 13,000 miles from the East to as far as the Baikal Sea in the Western Regions bordering the Middle East kingdom and the Rome Empire. Meanwhile, news has traveled that his Dharma-Son, Pan G. Monk faces an incredible Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves. The Empress Wǔl Zénder-Tan’ couldn't be careless. Why would that matter to the imperial family? Monks are just officials with equal vicarious duties and privileges. She would then spare her resourceful energy to maintain the fruitful relationship intertwining The Grand-Khan Jurchen-Warlords Clans in the North-East Desert in attempts to affirm her fate as the first and only female-Emperor, in the Medieval Ages of the Great City of the Dragon. Whereas The Abbot Master Xend'-Zeon of the Jade-Lotus Temple faces factions of religious politics. Particularly in the present, the Empress needed to manipulate the Master’s reputation to desperately seek life and/or the after-life merits. She decreed to be addressed as The Old Buddha Grand Father. The Master has had ideals of service to sentient beings since he was young. He could have traveled the Silk Road to the Far West entrance-point bypassing the five beacons as shortcuts save that he lacks the pertinent travel documents. Instead, he chose to cross the 800-mile овь-Gobi Desert that is as vast as the Baikal Sea, on foot. A route that is impossible in the history of the Buddha dharma. His heart never withers to support the mage of the red lotus that promises the Enlightenment of the Buddha-Land. Except that no one has ever endured the latitude of the heat. The pain. Alive, out of the desert sea. But he is also vulnerable to recognize the un-staticity of The Truth, The Truth itself, and the truth of seeking passion and mission for compassion in humankind. The mind and body reciting The Sūtra and The Heart, A phenomenon they knew better as if souls in chemical layers of their physique. Realizing enhanced mind training attaining controlling powers of life and death. Realizing the transformation of the unbearable pains and grievances he thought possible. . 2 . 🐉 . Meanwhile, dreams have been watching him to open The Third Eye, at The City's Amethyst-Jade Palace of the Second Emperor, Third Emperor, and Fourth Empress. Old Monks at The Nālandā Temple at the Far West Buddha Land; Householders Masters and Kings of the Jeek’-Foot Mountains of The City of the Naga-Dragon Twisted; in the Far West of The City of the Ever-Peace witness adventures of The Master. Lives at brinks of suicidal choices slaughtering ordeals. Who have inadvertently neglected the Master's karmic inflictions that would paradoxically affirm in a point of Near-Death Experiences; The Two-Profound-Reflective presented upon attaining The Deep-Active-Meditatitive Flow of Equanimity Samādhi. Eventually, The Seer Consciousness sees the Active Heart that is replete with The Latent Unconditional Love, Compassion And Empathy; that had been so close to us that we could not see it; as if one cannot see her own face. . 3 . 🐉 . Meanwhile also, the Imperial Criminal Affairs Clerk Ewen Hawk-Jean suffers too much seeking possession of desires and relief from a certain situation. Pan G., the Assistant Dharma-Translator to the Abbott Master Xend'-zeon has voluntarily or otherwise fallen into the supposed conspiracy or plain indifference. The imperial family's agenda of the Imperial Family of The Fang’-Chucks of course longs for a waist cut in halves not simply as souvenirs. Awaiting the Abbot Master is to come out from the disturbance. Incredibly transformative factors of the Mind-Transcendence-Samadhi are profoundly desired to spare the Monk Pan G. from the Post-Autumn Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves...... …But why would it matter to You?

A Simple Bar In The Multiverse
I'm Lucas, 30 years old and single. I went to drink with some friends that day and when I was walking home, I found some weird glowing door on a wall on which I've never seen anything before. I'm a bit ashamed to say that I instantly tried to open it. Behind it was that weird silver light which I also touched with my bare hand. Don't judge me! I was very drunk. It has nothing to do with my intelligence... Anyway, I seemed to have been transported in a magical room and an invisible female entity has just just given me an offer: Turn this bar into the best bar in the universe where you'll work forever. In exchange I would get great powers with great responsab... Wait! That's spiderman. Anyway, great powers and unlimited lifespan. I think I'll say yes... Follow the story of Lucas, the manager of the Simple Bar, while he turns this seemingly innocuous bar into one that becomes known in the entire Multiverse. Or at least in a big part of it. I mean, the Multiverse is virtually infinite, so... A part of the story will take place in the Divine Realm of the Wanderer's Realms from my first novel 'The Life of a Goddess and a Fox in the Cultivation World '. I will post 1 chapter every week at 7 p.m. EST on Saturday.
