In the fire, A star burns brightly

6. Sekai

'When did i decide this was a good idea?'

A blond haired guy laid on his back in the middle of an abandoned stage near a piano. The curtains were broken and some of the floor boards were lose. In the audience seats there was the blue haired robot sitting still looking disturbed. In the back row of the seats, there was the main robot. Another blue haired robot with two pigtails. She was most likely asleep.

"How does Miku sleep in a place like this? Has she gone crazy or something" The blond guy said sitting up to look at the blue haired robot in the front seats.

"Ah, I have no idea Tsukasa..." He said quietly looking down at his shoes.

"Kaito, Do you think this was a bad idea? You know, faking my death and escaping here?" Tsukasa asked, Kaito looked up to stare at Tsukasa up on the stage

"Um..."He started, trying to think on what to say, "I think, Its to late to regret it. You can't go back Tsukasa. No one knows you're here. Alive." He said quietly

"Oh, about that.." Tsukasa chuckled a bit

"Rui kinda knows I'm alive because I kinda, might have talked to him and told him people might think hes crazy if he ever told anyone." He said quickly

Kaito just stared at Tsukasa again not knowing what to say to that. Rui knows? Since when?

Suddenly a chill went down Kaitos spine.

"Someone entered the Sekai."

'Not much has changed. What did I expect?" Rui sighed and started walking.

The flying train was still wrecked from last time. The sky was dark and the Sekai was quiet. No dark music or piano playing.

He walked aimlessly searching for something. He soon found himself stopping in front of the abandoned stage. Miku still sleeping in the back seats. Kaito stood in front of him smiling.

'His smile reminds me Tsukasas smile from that video. Creepy'

"Kaito, Have you seen Tsukasa? I know hes here." He said

"Ah, Rui! What a wonderful surprise to see you here! I have not seen Tsukasa, I have no knowledge of his presence in the Sekai. I apologize Rui for being no help." Kaito stared blankly at Rui continuing to smile.

"Don't lie to me Kaito." He stated coldly

"I know Tsukasa is here so just stop. Tell me where he is!" He snapped

"Rui." A voice called out from the abandoned stage. Rui turned to look where the voice came from.

"Tsukasa..." He said quietly walking towards the stage where the blond is.

"Rui." He stared at hit blankly.

"Why did you do it?" He question. Rui didn't know why but tears were coming to his eyes. But why?

"Do what my dear director?" Tsukasa question 'innocently' jumping of the stage to get closer to Rui.

"Blow up the stage. Why did you do it?" Rui was shocked to see Tsukasa so life less. Even so, Tsukasa was smiling.

"Why ruin this reunion?" He asked sighing deeply

"Tsukasa. Just answer the damn question!"

"So loud Director. And here I thought I was the loud one." He dramatically said.

"Answer."

"I guess I was just tired of it. I couldn't deal with it. People say get rid of your problems and I did. I helped people get rid of their problems to so I guess its a win-win." He shrugged.

'This is hopeless' Rui thought staring at the boy in front of him.

Rui suddenly thought of something.

'This would look very bad, but I hope this isn't counted as kidnapping.' He grabbed Tsukasas arm and pulled out his phone. He quickly pressed on The world hasn't even started yet.
