the dream

Ryouta is floating around in the darkness.

As he drifts to the abyss he starts seeing things that he shouldn't know...It wasn't much but he saw a little Yuya trying to attack him and he bullies her. Then he saw three women looking at him as he drifts far away. It was an instance he saw people he didn't know...They all were smiling at him...

Then he sees himself no the way he used to look as Kazuma Mikura. The body is just floating there.

"who are you?" Ryouta asked

"I am you...but you aren't me"

"What?"

Then another figure appears but Ryouta couldn't distinguish its shape or form.

"Who are you"

"I am you but you aren't me"

"Ryouta are you sure your you?" Kazuma asked

"Ryouta are you really alive," The figure asked

"Shut up I am alive"

"Then did you really have a past life? Did you live a life as Kazuma"

"Wha"

"Do you really see Yokai, spirits, and Gods?"

"I huh? I don't know maybe?" Ryouta felt his mind was going crazy what is this

""RYOUTA IS ANY OF THIS REAL""

"This isn't"

"Yo Kazu calm down" A handsome man came up in those roman outfits.

"You are?"

The figure made a mysterious smile and said "I am ...come closer" He signaled Ryouta to come closer. Ryouta did then The handsome man flicked his head

"AHHH, Fuck what was that for"

"haha, you idiot. What kind of bitch would come closer to a complete stranger? That was so funny. Okay seriously come here." he signals Ryouta to come closer to him again but this time he had a serious expression so Ryouta went up to him and he got flicked again

"AHH, you asshole" He's rubbing his head. He felt that his head almost left his body"what are you trying to do kill me" Ryouta glared at him

"hahaha how do you fall for the same trick twice...ok really come here"

"No fuck you.. I don't give a damn on who you are" He gave him the finger

"boo no fun. well, that's what you should say before. As you look at these entities they are trying to tell you who you are... but you are you. You felt that pain. That is proof you are alive. You have a soul...Fuck anyone who tries to denies who you are. "

"So who are they? Are they really me or are they"

"Kazu are you trying to be the most powerful?"

"no"

"are you trying to be the smartest?"

"no"

"You're trying to be the greatest athlete so do they really matter"

"I guess not"

'well they are actually important but it will be a funny story later on so I'll stay quiet'

"so you just flicked me to prove I'm alive"

"..." the man just nodded

"So what now."

"well I'm going back my wives need some loving...oh here you go the meaning of life"

Ryouta swallowed his spit and looked at him

"The meaning of life is...DONT BE A BITCH" He shouted then he left but said "

"what?"

"NOW WAKE UP"

"wake up big brother"

"huh where am I"

Little Inari ran out of the room

"daddy mommy big brother woke up"

"So that was all a dream...I don't remember much just that I am Kazu...but I am also Ryouta...was I doubting myself before...I have been trying too hard at making this world like my other one...I guess I exhausted myself...wait a second the old man drugged me again. Did I almost past over"

Well, the family were in a hotel but Ryouta had to salvage for himself. Nobu is adding additional rooms to the house. Ryouta is on his own due to his uncle saying its a growing experience. So Ryouta has been walking around and ended up seeing that Masamune kid.

This time he isn't with his bodyguard so but he pissed off the wrong people. Three of them are surrounded him by a gate. Ryouta jumps up and says "Fuck why are you ganging up on my friend"

"Hey this PIGGY was talking about us and using his family name against us"

"So you thought you'd gang up on him and what"

"We were going huh"

What's going on "

"eH"

The three guys were facing the sky and had their back on the ground

"what happened to you three?"

They tried to get up and were on their back again

"I will tell you this. This boy is under my protection so you shouldn't bother him agian"

They tried again but were on the ground

"I suggest you should go back home without looking back"

"They got up but one looked back and he was on the ground again and the other two ran home. followed by the last boy.

Masume looked at Ryouta and was about to thank him

"you shouldn't thank me. You will be my new training dummy I mean partner"

"eh but I don't want to I want to" he started crying

Then two dogs start barking startling the two.

"hey you shouldn't bother that kid"

a girl in a blue sundress shouted.

"hey mind your own business" Ryouta wasn't in the mood to entertain this rich girl.

"What he's crying in front of my house so it is my business why don't you leave he seemingly doesn't like you"

"tst whatever I'm not in the mood to argue. Your lucky your cute or I'd be upset at you right now." Ryouta looked at Masume and said "Masume I will give you wise words...Don't be a bitch"

Ryouta walked away. ignoring both staring at him

After he left the girl looked at Masume and said

"You, what's your name? I am Aki Adagaki"

-----------

"well that was boring, I could work on manga...nah ...Oh, Maybe I should go invent a new game system...

Ryouta decided to go somewhere but he realized...He was lost. Then he sees a girl who seemed to be upset. Coming out of a building

"Excuse me what is this place "

The girl had tears in her eyes

"Are you alright ?" Ryouta gave her a handkerchief

"I'm fine I just am worried about my match..."

"match? for what" Ryouta was confused

"for shogi"

"Oh, I got it shogi...whats that?"

"huh you...oh your not Japanese," The girl notices his blond hair

"no, I am Japanese."

"..."

"I only played sports so I never looked for shogi"

"what Shogi is a sport" another girl and boy appeared out of nowhere

'where the hell did they come from...am I rusty?'

"well its probably not that popular where I"

"no shogi is extremely popular," a boy with glasses said

Then a girl with blue hair said "shogi is a game that people put their soul into "

"Ok? can you show me how to play"

the three were shocked and looked at him strangely

"what ?"

Then the girl who Ryouta started talking to first finally said " I'm Keika Kiyotaki what's your name"

"I'm Ryouta Kise"

'so he is Japanese' they all thought "well these two are my sister and brother. the boy with glasses is Yaichi Kuzuryuu and the girl is Ginko Sora. You usually ask professionals or go to classes. becoming someone apprentice is a big deal."

"So who is the best Shogi player"

"that would be the Meijin. The current Meijin is Touji Souya"

"ok I will ask him to be my master in order to surpass him"

"What that is insane "

"Yeah you can't just ask him to make you his apprentice and say in order to surpass him"

"why? isn't your goals to be the best."

"Well, first I will learn about the game. So I will read up at the library..." Ryouta was about to run off to the library but then stops..." actually maybe I should ask you how many players are in Shogi? is it a team sport? What equipment do I bring?

Keika just laughed and put her arms around his neck and led him inside to the shogi hall"

"This is the shogi world"
