《Far Away, In Another Place | Ruikasa》Part 9

*bzzt bzzt* It's probably Rui.
It's currently 5am. I can't sleep because I'm... I can't explain it. I don't know how I feel right now. I grabbed my phone to see what Rui said.
But it wasn't Rui. It was a random number. I opened up the message.
What. The. Fuck.
**********
OMG AMARI
I CANT BELIEVE HE
ACTUALLY KISSED YOU
HIS NAME IS RUI RIGHT?
OMG HES SO HOT BUT I
MEAN NO WONDER HE
FELL FOR YOU
The messages were all in Japanese, which made me feel like it was fake. But then I remembered, Amari is Japanese and probably has friends in Japan. She could've lived in Japan before she lived in the US. That could also be the reason this person accidentally got my number.
No. No. He wouldn't cheat on me. He said he loves me.
**********
OMG AMARI
I CANT BELIEVE HE
ACTUALLY KISSED YOU
HIS NAME IS RUI RIGHT?
OMG HES SO HOT BUT I
MEAN NO WONDER HE

I just wanted to make
sure it was them
thank you tho
I GTG TEXT THE
ACTUAL AMARI NOW
No fucking way. This has to be a coincidence. It has to be! I could feel tears emerge from my eyes. No, no, no. Why am I crying? Rui didn't cheat on me this is just a coincidence. Right? He would never do that. More tears came out faster. This is my fault isn't it. I probably said to much and- No. He didn't cheat on me, it's no one's fault. I just need to stop crying and just forget about this situation. I tried to wipe the tears away, but they wouldn't stop comming. I turned my phone off and curled up in my bed. There's no proof he'd do that to me.

*bzzt bzzt*
I grabbed my phone. It was the same number again. I opened the message.
**********
OMG SHE TOOK A PIC
OF THEM KISSING
WANNA SEE
SHE SENT IT TO ME
OMG THEYRE SO CUTE
TOGETHER
No... I dont want to see the picture. Why would I want to see that... They have to be trying to just annoy me. I powered my phone all the way off and closed my eyes. Eventually falling asleep.
I walked over to Ruis house bc I need some more 'proof' that Rui is cheating on Tsukasa. His mother let me in and took me to his room. When Rui opened it, he looked surprised. I went into his room and sat on his bed.
"It's getting late, why'd you come?" He asked
"I was bored and my parents aren't home." I replied.
"I see."
I grabbed a drink from my bag and handed it to Rui. "I found this at a gas station nearby. I have more if you like it"
"Thank you, you didn't have to." He opened it and took a sip. I hoped he wouldn't notice the alcohol I added in it. I wasn't going to do anything bad, I just needed to get him to something he wouldn't agree to normally.
Apparently the drinks were good, because he drank around 2 bottles of straight alcohol.
"I'm so tireddd...." Rui yawned. "I want.... I want Tsukasaa....."
"Hes not here! Ugh.... Okay I get that your drunk but can you listen to me?" I asked.
"I guessss."
"Okay let's take a picture."
"Sure..."
"Put your face close to mine so it looks like we are kissing."
"No... I have a boyfriend..."
"We are not actually gonna kiss! Just do it!"

"Finee..."
He put his face close to mine and I held a paper up to make it look like I was covering our kiss. After taking the picture, I pushed Rui away from me.
Then I sent the picture to Tsukasa. Hopefully he'd buy it.
I got up to leave and Rui was asleep on his bed already. I waved by to Ruis mom and called an Uber home.
I woke up late, meaning I missed school. I didn't really care though. I grabbed my phone and I turned it on.
I had a message... From the random number. It was an image. I hesitated. There's no way. There's no way he'd kiss her. If I see the picture, then I can stop worrying about this, because the photo is gonna be a troll or something. I tapped the notification which opened the message. And I saw the picture.
. . . .
No...
This...
This can't be right...
Can it..?
I started crying again. I needed to talk to someone, so I went to the SEKAI. However, I don't know how to talk to someone when I can't stop crying.
In the SEKAI, I was greeted my Miku. Once she saw me, she panicked.
"Tsukasa, is everything okay? Are you alright? What's wrong?" She asked after running to me.
"I- Its- I don't know-" I tried to speak but I couldn't.
"Stay here I'm gonna go find KAITO." She said and started rushing to find him.
I woke up at around 11, I don't remember much from before I fell asleep. I think I remember Amari comming over, but it may have been a dream.
I opened my phone and it was on Tsukasas messages. That made me remember what I was trying to do earlier. I was planning on trying to talk to KAITO and ask for help. Maybe I could do that right now.
I went to the sekai.
"Tsukasa?" I saw him crying. He was sitting on the ground crying. I ran to him. "Are you-"
"Get away from me!" He said pushing me away.
What happened. . .
Suddenly, KAITO came in between me and Tsukasa. "Rui can you leave the SEKAI for a bit." KAITO asked.
"But-"
"If you don't, then I'll kick you out. I'll allow you in when Tsukasa calms down."
"Wait I-"
Suddenly, I was back in my room again. When I tried re-entering the SEKAI, it wouldn't work.
This is my fault isn't it?

Spirit Realm
Thirty thousand years ago, the Heaven Fighting Race who called themselves “Gods” invaded the Spirit Realm. Hundreds of races rose up in resistance, but ultimately suffered a crushing defeat. The Human Race was the first to concede, and the rest of the Hundred Races soon followed in succession. During the subsequent ten thousand years, all of the races were enslaved by the Heaven Fighting Race. They were cruelly treated, and lived beneath the shadow of terror. The Heaven Fighting Race’s march of conquest did not stop there. With the Spirit Realm as the starting point, they invaded other secret dimensions, and spread war to all corners of existence. After greatly exhausting their combat strength, they were finally defeated by the Hundred Races who took advantage of this opportunity. With no other choice, they fled to the starry skies outside the realm. Thirty thousand years later, in an era where the Heaven Fighting Race has already faded to become ancient legend, an amnesiac youth possessing the Heaven Fighting Race’s bloodline is being fostered in an insignificant household. Whilst struggling to live on, he silently awaits the day of the bloodline’s awakening.Thank you for reading novel Spirit Realm @ReadWebNovels.net
8 3313Again from Scratch Saga: Izmittor Unchained
If someone precious to you needed your help, would you extend it? Would you still do it if it costs you your peace and perhaps even your life? For Tercius, a man mysteriously reborn nearly thirteen years ago, there was only one answer to both questions. Feeling compelled, he sets out to journey to the northern Sogea and its infamous Western Izmittor mountain range, a natural stronghold of sky tearing mountains and deep canyons. Legends about the place abounded, but he knew without a doubt that the hidden valleys, rushing rivers, thick forests, and desolate landscapes hid powerful predators, the likes of which stalk the harsh terrains for an easy source of meat and bones. The many natural dangers of Western Izmittor would be hard enough to navigate safely for a lone traveler, but to make matters worse Tercius had enemies in the heights of Western Izmittor, humans and spirits who would see him dead if they ever learned of his true connection to the Pyramid of Tergaron and the Society of the Magi. To make things even more difficult, he also had to ensure that the true extent of his own Innate Skills remained hidden, for if the prying eyes of the world fell on him and his many secrets came to light, then he would never again know a day of peace. Can one reborn man manage to keep his secrets and still succeed in doing what his conscience compels him to? Will he have to choose one over the other? And can he do any of it without reigniting the sparks of a planetary war the likes of which had not been seen in millennia? Follow Tercius’ story and find out! *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** This story is a continuation of Again from Scratch, a story of mine also posted on RR.
