Chapter One: Surfing Tokyo Bay

"I won!" Hikaru cheers. He is playing a game of Go with his best friend and greatest rival Akira. Akira misses an opening at the upper left corner and Hikaru sets off an assult there that Akira cannot stop.

Akira looks up to Hikaru and says, "Good move, Hikaru."

"Are you okay? You look like you have something on your mind. You want to talk about it?" Hikaru asks.

"It's nothing that is important. Sorry I'm distracted." Akira answers.

"Alright then. Listen, you know my cell phone number, give me a call if you want to talk, okay?" Hikaru bows. Akira looks at Hikaru. The blonde-bangs boy is always so kind and caring. That is one of Hikaru's many attractive qualities.

"Thanks for the game! Good night!" Hikaru stands up and get ready to leave the salon. Akira takes a deep breath and stops Hikaru, "wait!"

"It's getting late. I have to get home before the last subway leaves. I don't have time for a rematch." Hikaru says.

"Actually, I have something I want to ask you." Akira says, "I just got a car and I'm planning to go to the beach to do some surfing this weekend. Do you want to come with me?"

"Are you kidding? I love surfing! It's my favourite thing to do!" Hikaru says excited.

"I will pick you up at Friday morning then. Is around 5am okay?" Akira asks.

"Sounds great! This is going to be so awsome! We never spend any time together outside the Salon." Hikaru is excited.

"See you Friday then." Akira says.

After Hikaru dissapears from the exit, the Prince of Go lets out a breathe of relief. "Finally made it."

Not too long ago, Akira realizes he is in love with Hikaru. Since then, the prince of Go tried to ask Hikaru out a couple of times, but every time Akira chocked when he tried to get the words out. Akira is happy that he put the question out today and get a 'yes' for an answer.

At Friday, Akira's car arrives at Hikaru's house 15 minutes before 5am, but Hikaru is waiting at the door already. Hikaru chips a 'good morning', puts his bag into the trunk and gets on the car. Akira asks, "Ready to go?"

"Can't wait!" Hikaru cheers. Akira can't help but smile a little too. It's always nice to see Hikaru's smiling face. That face is so warm and bright it can smelt snow in winter. Akira starts the car and the two of them drive off to the beach. Even thought it's 5am Hikaru is really excited.

"My mom made us some sesame rice ball for breakfast! We can have some in the car if you don't mind. I won't make your car dirty." Hikaru says.

"I don't mind. I like Sesame rice ball." Akira says.

"Wait til you try the one my mom made! She is the best! Here! Have one!" Hikaru chips brightly as he puts a piece of rice ball in front of Akira.

Akira looks at the Rice Ball while Hikaru asks, "what's the matter?"

"Nothing! I just never eat out of someone's hand before." Akira blushes a little. (The boy that Akira loves is feeding Akira a rice ball! Akira's heart starts jumping involunteerly.)

Akira composes himself and takes a bite at Hikaru's rice ball. "it's really good."

"Told you!" Hikaru grins and takes a bite of the rice ball too. Hikaru looks so cute Akira can't help but becomes mesmerized.

Hikaru notices Akira staring and asks, "I'm sorry. I'm eating by myself. Here! You have some more!" Hikaru hangs Akira the sesame rice ball.

After the breakfast, The boys start a GO game by calling out moves. When the game is finished they have already arrive at the sea.

"Look! We can see the ocean from here!" Hikaru cheers. The dawn just come and Hikaru can see the sun at the horizon. The scenery is so beautiful it makes Hikaru's eyes light up like the north star.

Akira arrives at the beach and finds a place under the tree to park. The two boys then get out of the beach and go rent the surfboard. After that, Hikaru takes off his shirt and put sun lotion on himself. Akira almost gasps. This is the first time he sees Hikaru without a shirt on. Hikaru's body is lean but very well toned. The navy blue swim trunk matches the glowing, creamy skin on Hikaru's body perfectly.

"Hey, Akira. Can you do my back for me?" Hikaru asks.

Akira is a little nervous about touching Hikaru's bare skin; but he is also happy he can be so close to the boy he likes.

"Thanks! Here, let me do you back for you." Hikaru says as he puts sun tan lotion on Akira's back.

It feels nice to have Hikaru putting lotion on his back, and Akira feels a little disappointed when Hikaru finishes. But it's okay since the two of them is now doing stretching exerise. Watching Hikaru stretching his body is just as wonderful.

"Wow! Look! There is a great big one coming!" Hikaru points to the sea. A wave that looks like it's as tall and wide as the great wall of China comes rushing to the shore.

"Come on, Akira! We can't miss this one!" Hikaru picks up his board and runs out to the sea. Akira picks up his board and follows.

All the surfers rushing to meet the first wave. "Come on! Come here already!" The surfers shout out loud. Hikaru shouts with them. When the wave comes, the surfers stands up and ride the wave while shouting in joy.

"That was great! I love it!" Hikaru shouts to Akira.

"That was fun." Akira nods.

"You two ain't bad!" One of the surfers say.

"Thanks! Hey, Look! another one is coming! This one is high! come on! Don't waste this one!" Hikaru shouts to the others as a very mean wave comes in.

"Hey, little dude! If you can ride this wave better than I do, I will buy you a mango smootie!" One of the surfer says.

"Sounds wonderful! Let's go!" Hikaru asks.

"Right behind you, little dude!" the other surfers say.

"Right behind you." Akira follows them out to the sea.
