Chapter 1

"Talk"

'Thoughts'

*Place/time*

(Flashback)

"I'm sorry that we couldn't do anything better than watching movies at your house."

A male looked to the source of the voice, and saw that it was his girlfriend, Nijiki, she had silver hair and amber, close to gold in his opinion, eyes, lovely cream like pale skin, in his honest opinion, she was wearing a simple pair of black pants, and a black hoodie that he owned that male allowed her to keep, which while it was a bit big on her, was something that made male feel a bit happy when she wears that hoodie, since in his mind it shows that she really likes him.

"It is fine, as long as I can spend some time with you, then I honestly do not care about what we do, plus it is a lot better than dealing with those vultures of reporters, showing no care for personal space, the assholes I swear."

Nijiki smiled a bit when she hears the first bit of what her boyfriend said, but when he muttered about the reporters, she could not help but frown, since she honestly could not blame him, since it was something that she hated as well, but it was something that she was forced to deal with since her father didn't fully care about the situation at all, her little sister did not care as well since she was used to it, Sumeragi also was used to it due to the same reason, but both she and her mother hated it, and felt they were going to explode soon, that is a reason she comes to her boyfriend's house, well more like sneak off to his house.

"Do not worry Ray, this will all end sooner or later, all it will take is some patience, and a bit of hope and luck added in the mix would help as well."

Nijiki words made her boyfriend now known as Ray chuckle since he understands that she was trying to ease his worries about the problem about the reporters, and as he chuckled Nijiki looked at him and saw his black hair that was a bit long covering his eyes a bit, along with a set of red eyes, she also noticed that it worked a bit with his tan skin in a way, he was wearing a baggy white shirt, with a pair of jeans, it was a simple look, but it also made her feel comfortable in a weird way.

"Thank you Nijiki, I really needed that, I guess things just got to me."

Ray's words made her smile, but unknown to her Ray had another set of problems in the back of his mind, and as Nijiki was resting her head on his shoulder, he could not help but think about the information that he found out in secret, and the information actually made him shake with a bit of fear and anger.

It was something that he only found out when his brother Kazuto butt called him, a completely stupid thing to happen, but it was both hilarious, now that he thought about it, and very informative at the same time, and the information he got made him angry, yet sad, since there have been people killed in real life when someone shot one bullet at them, well that is what he understood from what he heard, admittedly it was a bit hard to hear anything, but it was something that he pieced together.

Though the thing that annoyed him was the fact that this was supposed to be kept hidden from everyone since Kazuto was supposed to enter this game find the guy doing it and bring justice to what was happening, something that really ticked him off, sad thing was if he did not hear this Kazuto would have been left in the woods to face off against a gun that can make death come and claim you in the real world by one bullet, that is if there was no way for him, Ray, to enter the game himself, since from what he found out he has the game Kazuto has to go in.

For you see not so long ago a friend of his Frank introduced him to a game that his so-called 'friend', who he totally think is his girlfriend since they are just to close in his opinion to be friends, showed him a game called Gun Dale Online, something that Frank was hooked on, and while Ray prefers to not play anything related to shooters, in the end, he was playing that game almost as much as Frank, and can openly admit that it was not a bad, a bit hard in his opinion, but it was not a bad game in general, the thing that was ironic about this, is the fact that it's the game Kazuto has to play to stop this person named 'Death Gun'.

A few hours later and Ray soon discovered that Nijiki was asleep on his shoulder, causing him to smile when he saw this and had to admit in his mind that she was cute when she looked like this, but he soon felt the need to move his legs, so he got up off of his bed, the place the two sat down to watch some movies, before entering the hallway and blinked when he saw his brother Kazuto walking towards his room, before noticing that he, Ray, was there, to which Ray noticed that he was wearing black everything, pants, shirt, jacket, shoes, which oddly worked with his black hair, and mismatched gold and black color eyes, as well as his fair skin.

It took a few moments until Ray said something that was on his mind the second he saw Kazuto, "Alright you need to clean your face since Asuna left a lipstick mark on your face, and you know Sugu and mom will be on your case if they saw that."

What he said made Kazuto blink, before he rushed to the bathroom, leading to Ray laughing at what happened to his brother, and was now amused, before a slightly serious look appeared on his face, as he brought out his phone.

"Well with that said and done, it is time for me to make a call."

To be continued...
