Nice!
Keep'em commin sister!
Akira is just too cute! Poor Ogata…lol
Thanks! Akira is really fun to write as a child! Yes, yes, poor Ogata…(rolf!)
Ogata: (Death Glare) You and Ashiwara will get what's coming to you!
Eyago (from Aladdin): Rak! What's coming to you!
Ogata: You'll die, too. When I rule the world, all annoying beasts will be dead, there will be no such thing as "questions," and everyone will worship GO.
Me: Yeah…good luck with that.
Ogata: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-cough cough! I swallowed my gum… --'
Me: ANYWAY. Thanks! (The Eyago thing was in reference to another story of mine, Inuyasha characters in Aladdin, look it up!)

Thank you! That is what I've been striving for! Your review is greatly appreciated!

(Part 1 of 3)
Wow, I am amused. Give me some credit in the next chapter, though! And it's Meijin, not Mejin... Yes, I make you mad, but I make your spelling better too! There were other mistakes but I will not point them out... The overall idea, though, is good (cause I thought up half of it, of course - my being Einstein and you being the crazed otaku you are) and it is so utterly CUTE! Yay, I love chibi Akira.
Okay, okay. A lot of credit goes to you. Happy? (Although, most everything in this chapter was mine!)
SKREW SPELLING!!! (Way to make a statement, right?)
(Part 2 of 3)
Just thought of something: Why would THE Sushi Place have sandwiches instead of sushi? Just a thought!
HAH. I win.
1) Not all children like sushi, so they have sandwiches. 2) There are innumerable combinations when it comes to sandwiches. They still have sushi.

Hey, since I'm reviewing for the third time (I think), do I get a prize? Can I have some cookies? Or candy canes? Or a straight month with no Kurama bashing, however humorous?
Basically, I'm review for my two friends (the ones who are obsessed with Death Note...and L - well, I'm slightly guilty of fangirling L...but hey, L is awesome, so...); I forced them to read this and they cracked up, obviously loving it.
So...shouldn't we do the next escapade (I love that word) about the Internet videos? I'm all for it, but not this weekend: We have finals coming up, you know.
YAY.
You can have some complementary mints. There's your prize! (MUWAHAHAH!!!) Internet videos are chapter 3 or 4. I haven't yet decided, but I'm thinking 3.

That kid would have driven me past drinking. Far past drinking. lol I'm glad Touya isn't like that now or I would not be reading Hikaru no Go. lol Good job. I liked this a lot.
Yeah. I think other people would be thinking the same way…
Give us Peace
lol! please update!
Not to sound rude, but are you a pacifist?
I've just noticed I spelled Touya wrong all last chapter. Sorry!
Now, here's the chapter, but warning: I'm watching Yu Yu Hakusho while writing this. Sorry! (Chapter Black: The Seven)
Chapter 2
FedUP?
Touya Meijin walked into his kitchen. He looked around and, not able to see anyone, stretched lazily. Glancing around once more, the Meijin opened a cabinet while humming "Junk Food Junkie." He felt around in the rear, looking for the false back.
"Daddy." Touya Meijin jumped, turning around slowly. He was wearing his usual attire-a kimono-unlike his son.
Akira was standing behind his father, a blanket and teddy bear in one hand, and his right thumb in his mouth. His eyes were wide and innocent, and he was wearing pajamas with Go stones and boards printed on it.
"Uh…I'm just getting…some…cereal. Yes, cereal! Do you want some?" Akira bobbed his head up and down. "Okay. Do you want Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or Reese's Puffs?"
"Rees's Poofs." Touya Meijin chuckled and poured them both a bowl of "Rees's Poofs."
15 minutes later, Akiko Touya (yes, that's her real name; I checked) walked into the kitchen. "I have to go to run quite a few errands today. Could you watch Akira?"
Touya Meijin shook his head, "I have a match today."
Akira piped up, "Ogata-san could watch me!" Akira absolutely loved hanging out with 'Ogata-san.'
The Meijin was slightly uneasy about that plan after last week, but when he called Ashiwara, it seemed he had a date. (Gasp!) 'Not that he's that reliable…' So it seemed Ogata was the only choice.
Touya Meijin called Ogata up:
//Hello?// yawn
'Seems I woke him up,' "Ogata, I was wondering if you were busy today."
There was some rustling from the other side of the line before he got an answer. //I just have a couple packages to drop off at UPS and FedEx. Why?//
"Well, Akiko and I are both busy today and we need someone to watch Akira."
//Have you asked Ashi-?//
"Yes. I have already asked Ashiwara. He has a date today."
//Really? He's really got a date?! Wow…that makes me feel pathetic…//
Touya Meijin just sighed. "Can you, or not? If you can't, I'll have to asked Kuwabara Honin-
//Yes! I can!//
The Meijin knew he would win the moment he mentioned Kuwabara Honin-bo. (sp?)
"Then when should we expect you?"
//Would…11 be alright?//
"You do know that's in 20 minutes, right?"
//Oh God! I really slept in that late! Okay, more like 11:30. Is that alright with you?//
"That's fine. Goodbye."
//Bye.//
Touya Meijin sighed. Ogata could be as silly as Ashiwara at times. "Will he be able to?" Akiko asked from the next room.
"Yes. He'll be here at 11:30."
"Okay. Well, got to go! See you, Akira!" Akiko hustled out the door, already late for her first appointment.
The Meijin just stared at Akira, confused at what to do till Ogata got there, until he got a stroke of genius. "Akira…I've got an idea of what we can do until Ogata gets here…" Touya Meijin got an evil grin on his face. Akira just smiled at him innocently before the Meijin picked Akira up and took him to his room to change.
11:30
Ogata knocked on the Touyas front door. A couple minutes later he knocked again. When no one came to the door he began to panic, remembering all those late night shows he followed. Fearing the worst, he ran in, barely stopping to take off his shoes and running through the house. He came upon the study and swung the door open. The sight before Ogata horrified him.
Akira was sitting in the formal sitting position in a suit and tie while Touya Meijin was showing him different things like Manga, pictures of popular kid places, and music while saying things along the lines of, "These places, things, and songs rot your brain." While Ogata agreed with some of that, it was the next part that disturbed him, "And Aliens can sense a rotted brain from galaxies away and they will come after you. While you are sleeping peacefully in your bed, they will be sucking your brain out your ear through a straw!" Akira shuttered and Ogata anime fell.
The next "Lesson" was, "Akira, if you read these," he held up novels and Go instruction books, "wear these," he held up a suit and kimono, "and listen to this," in his hands was classical music, "then you shall become an excellent Go player!" Akira nodded vigorously.
Although, the next "Lesson" was the most heinous, in Ogata's opinion, "Now, Akira, is this: if you ever swallow a watermelon seed, or gum, it will grow inside your stomach!"
Ogata felt there was no reason to tell Akira that, of all things. "Next lesson is about the boogieman!"
Ogata intervened before Akira was scarred. Touya Meijin looked down glumly; he was just starting to enjoy himself… (In my opinion, that's kinda sad…)
"Don't you have a game to get to, Sensei?"
"Oh, crap!" Touya Meijin ran to his room to change, before rushing out the door to his car, speeding away.
Ogata sighed. "C'mon, Akira." Ogata took Akira to his room and made him change into dark jeans, red and white tennis shoes, a long sleeve black and gray shirt, and a gray cap; Akira's birthday present from Ogata, and the one of the few normal outfits he owned. Before Akira could protest with his father's lessons as his support, Ogata had dragged him to his sports car. (After locking the door behind them, obviously.)
Akira sat in a car seat in the back of the car. "Ogata-san."
"Hmm?"
"Where are we going?"
"First to FedEx, then to UPS."
Akira was silent for a moment. "Ogata-san."
"Yes?"
"If FedEx and UPS were to combine into one company, to strengthen their territory," Ogata sighed, that was his father speaking through him, "Would they call it FedUP?"
Ogata nearly hit a car. "What?"
Akira repeated himself slower. Ogata bit back a laugh, and answered with his own question, "If a tree were to fall in a forest and no one was there to hear it, would it make a sound?"
Akira gave Ogata a weird look through the rear view mirror. "Huh?"
Ogata had another at his disposal, "Do tea workers take coffee breaks?"
"Huh?"
Ogata had one more, "If you try to fail and succeed, which is it?"
Akira's little head was overwhelmed, "What does that have to do with FedUP and territory?"
Ogata just chuckled and went to FedEx and UPS (still different companies!) and there was little from Akira. He was still trying to understand what Ogata had meant.
Ogata took Akira home after the movies and they snuck in the back door. "Ogata-san."
Ogata motioned for him to be quieter, "Yes?" he asked.
"Why are we sneaking in the back door?" A shadow fell across to two crouching males.
Ogata looked up, scared. "You two ought to be glad it's me and not my husband." It was Akiko, looking down on them.
Ogata sighed, "Yes, we're glad."
"If I were you, I would get Akira changed right now. He's going to be home in a few minutes." Ogata dragged Akira to his room and changed him into a suit. The door opened, 'Just in time.'
Touya Meijin walked into to Akira's room. "Daddy!!" Akira ran into his father's waiting arms, while Ogata just flopped down on the floor.
"Hey, Akira!" Touya Meijin spun him around before setting him back down.
"So, did you win your game, Daddy?"
"Of course. And how was your day?"
"Ogata-san had me wear those clothes you said were bad and we went to the movies and the mall and, Daddy, am I gonna die?!" Akira looked truly sacred.
As did Ogata. Not only did Akira rat on him, but he had believed the whole thing about aliens and such. Not a good combo.
"Oh, did he?" Touya Meijin shot Ogata an evil look, and grinned. Ogata plugged his ears and shut his eyes. This would not be pretty.
He stood that way for 5 minutes before realizing Touya Meijin wasn't yelling at him. Ogata unplugged his ears to catch, "Oh, Akira, I forgot to tell you, I invited some one over for dinner tonight. Maybe Ogata will stay over, too." Not only did it sound bad, or was at a strange time, but Ogata could have sworn the Meijin grinned evilly for a moment. The next voice confirmed his fears.
"How are you, Ogata? Hee, hee."
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ogata beat it outta there at a speed that would have brought an Olympic runner to shame.
Kuwabara-sensei cocked his head with a surprised look on his face, "Was it something I said?"
End.
