Chapter 2: Forget
Day. The Sun was shining brightly. There were some birds singing, bathing in sunlight happily.
Sun. The boy was like the Sun, no matter what. Even his name, Hikaru, meant light. He, well, always laughed, was always excited about everything, andsometimes a lttle bit selfish. But the night before night...
Sai suddenly shuddered. Yes, that night, he'd never imagined that the boy could have looked so, well, miserable... It just seemed like Hikaru was the one who was in pain, not Sai. Was he wrong to lie to him?
Looking at the boy, Sai called him softly:
"Hikaru?"
"Yes?", the boy turned around.
"About last night... I'm sorry..."
Hikaru looked at Sai's face and asked in surprised:
"What happened last night?"
"Well, when you went through me and..."
"I did?", the boy smiled in confusion, "When?".
"Last night, don't you remember?", this time Sai was the one to be surprised.
"No", Hikaru shook his head, "I was sleeping all night. How could I go through your body?"
"You did."
"I didn't. Maybe that was just your dream, Sai."
Dream? How could he have posibly dreamt when...
"Ghosts never sleep, Hikaru", Sai objected.
"I know, but that doesn't mean that you don't dream!"
"How can I dream without sleeping?", Sai argued.
The boy shrugged:
"How can I know? I haven't died yet!"
"That's ridiculous!"
"What you said is even more ridiculous!", Hikaru shouted at the ghost.
Sai sighed. So that's it, Hikaru had turned back into himself. Sai didn't know if this was what he wanted or not, but the only thing that he cared about at that time was... why the boy forgot everything.
---------
It was the morning, and Hikaru was at school. Sai watched the boy slept in History lesson, he sighed. History was so much interesting, why couldn't Hikaru realise that? He looked up to the board, and then he startled.
"Hikaru..."
"Hikaru, wake up!"
"HIKARU!"
"Huh, what now?", the boy asked with a sleepy voice, didn't notice that he'd spoken in words.
Everyone was staring at Hikaru, and standing beside him was... his History teacher.
"So, Shindo, you've just had a nice sleep, haven't you?", the teacher asked with her "nicest" smile.
"Ye... no...No, miss...", Hikaru answered nonplusedly, "I've just..."
"So tell me now, if you didn't sleep, then what happened to Edo in 1657?"
Hikaru, of course, couldn't think of any answer. And even if he wasn't asleep, that was still an imposible thing. He whispered to Sai:
"Sai, what happened?"
"Huh?"
"Come on, tell me the answer."
"..."
"Sai!"
"Ok, Hikaru, if you can't answer, then GET OUT OF THIS ROOM!"
The teacher shouted furiously and expeled Hikaru. Getting out of the class, he said to Sai with a very unpleasant voice:
"Why didn't you answer me?"
"Well... Sometimes you need to learn a lesson, Hikaru...", Sai spoke with a halt.
"Right. If you think so, then no more Go!", the boy said in hot temper.
"Whaaaattttttt????"
