Chapter 12- Staying
~Shindo POV~
When I woke up this morning, I check on Touya and he was still asleep. He hadn't move from the position I last seen him last night. I woke up at 6 pm when I got hungry and cooked myself some Cabbage soup and soft rice. Took care of some calls here and there. Did what I rehearse in the shower. I just practically followed the script I prepared.
I was surprised when I check my phone and got 30 miss calls from Mitani, 20 from Akari, 33 from mom- Gulp- 37 from my brother, & 40 from my sister. I'm glad dad didn't call. So relieved he didn't cause if he did. I am so dead.
When that's over I got to take care of some important deals and contract I made on this lovely young man sleeping on my bed. And finish some calls to cover for my trip. Training in the Mountains. That's crazy. I'm sure my family wouldn't bother coming to my house as soon as they got the report that I left to on a Mountain secret training program.
I saw Sai lying on the bed beside Touya
'Morning Hikaru- Did you sleep well?' he greeted me cheerfully
'Hey Sai', I rubbed my eyes and let out a yawn.
'How's Touya?', I asked while walking towards the bed.
'Still the same, he hasn't woken up yet?'
'Tell me if he wakes up okay'
Sai nodded.
Now getting back to this beauty sleeping inside the beast house.
What's the difference between sleeping and unconscious?
Sleeping-you're fine, Unconscious- Not fine. If he still hasn't woken up since yesterday, should I be worried?
I pulled down the blanket slowly, check his bud and was glad there was no more bleeding.
Sai looked away and covered his eyes when I did it. I bet he saw more than this back in Torajiro's time. But he's still acting like it's the 1st time he saw it, and acts like a virgin.
'Sai –sorry if I'm asking this now- but did you die a Virgin', I asked him, while I was checking his bud for bleeding.
'what-I-No—well-why are you asking this questions while doing something like-like', when turned to looked at me, he saw what I was doing and covered his eyes again. ' like you're doing now'.
I chuckled as I checked the was blood on the sheets but that was before I put the medicine. I check his heartbeat and It was beating normally, his breathing was normal as well. I felt his forehead with mine and check his fever. He's fever have gone down overnight but he should need one more for the morning. I took out the fever pill, did again what I did the night. He should feel better when he wake up.
'Yup- you died a virgin alright', I told him, ' So how did you cope up when you're with Torajiro?', I looked at him, and if Ghost can blush I bet that pink flushed on his pale cheeks is a Blush
'Hikaru', Sai whined
'Alright-alright', I stopped teasing him.
I check my phone which I left near my laptop and it was already 5 in the morning.
I glanced one last time at Touya, when I'm sure he wouldn't wake up screaming bloody murder. Well maybe he'll do just that, but I guess he won't be moving from that bed anytime after he wake up.
'Sai can you keep watch of Touya for a while, I'll go down and make breakfast for him. Just –when he wakes up', Sai nodded.
I head downstairs and found a man, mid 20's, black hair, muscular build, the shirt he's wearing failed to hide he's muscles, reading the newspaper while drinking coffee on the Kitchen counter with some beagles, he probably got earlier.
'Morning Simon', I greeted him. This man is the Driver, whose practically can do anything. Quite handy huh. I forgot to mention that he's also living in the house. Somewhere unnoticed- he's living in the Guest room upstairs. The One near the Study. He like it there since it's the room, where you can see everything that goes on the streets. He just pops out whenever I need him. Pretty handy.
I won't be explaining the details since its another background LIE. So let's settle with him being the Driver.
'Morning Young Master- I mean Master Shindo'
' Didn't i told you to drop the Master title and just call me Hikaru', I scolded him as I head to get some pan and ingredients, ' Your suppose to be my guardian when my parents left me behind and gone MIA- per say- left me behind- I thought you already read the profile'
' Sorry Master –Hi-Hikaru', he said the word while making a troubled face.
'Practice saying it- and when Touya ask, tell him, you just like to keep up appearances when were outside- aka LIE'
He frowned but nodded.
'I'm making Miso soup & Egg Omelet. What do you like to eat?'
'Egg roll and Fried Tofu with-on second thought I'm craving for Miso soup & Egg omelette', he hurriedly replied. I glanced at his half eaten beagles and sighed. He's an adult so those beagles aren't enough for him.
I chuckled. ' If you really like to have Egg roll and fried tofu, I'll make you one during lunch so don't worry. I'm only making Miso and Omelette because its good for Touya. Can't have that damsel choke and get an upset stomach. He hadn't eaten dinner, so something warm and nutritious should cover the missed meal'
I really want to eat bacon and egg but, I settled with making Miso soup, and Egg Omelet, good for 3 person. He probably will feel weak when he wake up, so something easy to swallow and nutritious is more better than oily fried foods, which also I'm craving right now.
I check the fridge and goody, they didn't forget to stock some Milk.
I set the food for Touya, covered them in plastic and place them on a tray, then I set mine & Simon on the table.
'Eat before me, I'll just send it upstairs first', I gestured on the tray I'm holding.
I head upstairs and place the Tray on the bed stand. Its better when he wakes up, and there's food on the table beside him. Gives him plenty of energy to scream profanities at me.
'Did he wake up yet?', I asked Sai, I notice he was wearing a trouble expression, while shaking his head. He took a glanced at me and hadn't met my eye after I entered the room.
I fixed the stray hair that was messy, and was pretty in place a moment ago before I left him and check his temperature one more time.
'Guess the fevers down', I spoke and told Sai.
He just nodded and looked away.
'Sai-'
When suddenly my phone rung.
'Simon. What's wrong?, I asked him. Why is he calling when we just met a while ago?
' Mas—Hi-Hikaru- there's a package for you outside, what should I do with it?', he answered hesitantly.
'Throw it- it's probably some Magazines and Papers that person sent just to annoy me.'
' well- it doesn't look like the package your brother would send you- its more of a –ahem- foreign belongings for Master Touya'
…Did he just delivered his luggage in my doorstep? Was this guy planning in staying in my house?
Urrggh One after another. Stubborn, crazy, naïve, GO maniac…
I glanced at Touya,he wasn't moving at all. In fact he's breathing seem rather odd. Curious
'Sai is there something you're hiding from me?,' I asked him.
I notice Sai flinched and back away. I felt a nerve popped out on my head.
I dropped down the side of my bed, making the bed bounced . I glanced again at Touya. There was a twitch on his brow but it disappeared as soon as it appeared. I smirked .
What do we have here. The Sleeping beauty is awake, and I still haven't given him a kiss.
Oh-I did when I gave him the pill, but that was just me assisting him to take the medicine. It wasn't a kiss. I wonder how long he'll pretend to be sleeping. He got to get up soon, since he missed Dinner and is probably feeling hungry right now.
'Hello Hi-Hikaru—are you there?'
'If its some luggage you didn't recognize. It's clearly not mine. For all I know, there could be a bomb in there. Throw it somewhere far.' I said it aloud, loud enough for a sleeping beauty to hear.
I hang up the phone and punched in a text. Then I press sent.
I turned to look at Touya and touch his cheeks gently. I let out an exasperated sighed.
'Stubborn guy. Are you planning to barge into my house if I refuse to do that rematch with you?', I pinched his cheeks, ' I bet you were planning to bother me the whole week both in school and in my house, the whole week,with that size of luggage.' I stopped pinching he's cheeks, I leaned in and planted a quick kiss on his lips, then I leaned my forehead to his.
'Hikaru- why don't you just agree to the rematch his asking- I'm completely fine with it. It's not like you're the one playing him in Go-'
'You've got to be kidding me'. I whispered softly. But my words were directed to Sai than Touya.
'Even if its you playing, I'm the one being bothered here. You know I told you I don't want to play Go with the same player. No matter how strong you think they are. One game per player. That was it. But this guy is just so stubborn I'm afraid he'll keep on bothering me if I won't do what he wants'
'Is he getting on your nerve? Are you going to do what he wants? You did made a deal with him…..That's so unlike you Hikaru', Touya teased me as he hovered around me. Poking my cheeks. Not that I feel it.
I got up, and closed the door after me and head downstairs, carrying my phone with me. I felt my vein multiplying and trying to pop out of my head.
Simon was sitting on the table, peacefully eating breakfast. He gave a thumbs up and I frowned.
'Got it taken cared of Hi-Hikaru'
'Thanks', I sat down across to him and ate my breakfast quietly. When were done. Simon head outside to Water the Plants, while I washed the dishes.
I check the time and it was 7 am. I really wanted to use my time practicing but that means I have to go back to my room and changed. I really don't want to disturb Touya. That guy should start eating the food I prepared. If he hasn't eaten it. I'll feed him with my mouth.
'No Hikaru—don't even think of it', Sai shouted to my ear.
I covered my ears. 'SAI'
He crossed his arms and poke out his tongue.
'You-Urggh'
' Just go and check on Touya. I'll be in the study and do what I do best', I told him trying to calm myself, as I head to the Study upstairs.
'You're not gonna check on Touya?'
'No- I want him to eat the food that I prepared and he wouldn't do that if I was in the room, eyeing him 24/7'
'You have a point', We stopped infront of my door and Sai pass through it without a problem. I'm still not used to him doing that.
I grunted. I continued and stopped infront a 2 door room, opened the door , the entire room was circular in shape, it was painted in white color and the shelves curved & filled with an abundant collection of books, that covered every inch of the room, Floor to Ceiling. There was a movable ladder leaning to the shelf with wheels. There was no tables or chairs, just a red medium sized velvet Victorian Sofa in the middle of the room, the red color, drawing your eyes into it. The entire floor was covered in White Persian rug. Near the sofa was an old 19x19 GO board, with 2 bowls filled with black and white stones.
I ordered the maid to include it among the stuff delivered to the house, placed it in a box, so my brother won't notice it, I sent it out as an Undercover Task. Guess she did a proper job.
I took off my slippers and entered the room, making sure to close it behind me.
I choose a thick book with a Kendo sign and Pictures on the cover, sat down comfortably on the sofa and started reading.
'Hikaru', I was on my 1st paragraph when Sai suddenly appeared before me. I drop the book in shock.
'You gotta stop doing that' , I pick up the book that fell on the rug.
'Sorry—but hear me Hikaru- Touya's awake and he finished eating the breakfast that you cooked for him'
'That's good news', I then sat back down comfortably and opened the page I was at.
'but he's weak and can't get up. The poor boy was having a hard time getting out of bed.'
'Guess he's stuck here for a week then', I flipped a page, I wasn't really reading now, just looking at the picture on the book, 'and I should still clear of my room for a while, Simon would scold me if the plates and night lamp gets broken. Not that I care, but just to stay out of trouble.'
'Touya's still naked under those sheets, the least you can do is be a gentleman and help him get dressed'
'He's a boy. He'll take care of it. I left clean clothes on the bed before I left so he'll figure it out, how to dress himself. He's not a kid you know'
'well you are'
I close my eyes and control my temper. Calm down me.
' Do me a favour Sai and why don't you take your time, watching Touya. Maybe you'll be intrigue by him and how's he so strong in GO. You might find a weakness'
'But you only get to know that once you play GO with him. I can't just observe him and figure out he's GO style'
I looked at Sai. ' Really. You can't do that?', I asked surprise, ' liked observe your opponent GO style and read his personality and predict the kind of moves he'll do'
'GO is not a Martial Arts', Sai screamed venting out his anger, for comparing he's beloved GO to some barbaric sports.
'Fine. Fine', I waved him off.
'Hikaru—come on'
'No'
'Then a game of GO to pass the time. I'm so bored. I spend all night watching over Touya and I feel out of energy'
I scoffed, ' That's new for a thousand year old ghost. I didn't know ghost could sleep'
Sai pouted as I laughed. ' You meanie- I hate you', he acted and tried to punch my stomach to no avail, he just slips right through.
'help yourself', I flipped another page.
After a while, the room was quiet. Sai wasn't making any ruckus at all. Did he left. I looked up and Sai was on the far side of the shelves moping. Dark energy around him.
I felt a sweat drop on my temple. Really-
' Just a round and that's it- I remember the last time you talk me through it, my whole back was cramping'
'was not'
I placed the book to the side, sat down on the rug and set the GO board.
'I'm black, your white', I told Sai
'Sounds okay to me', was his excited reply.
~ Touya's POV~
I woke up feeling sluggish. What happened? I don't remember falling asleep on the bed.
I carefully check the room. The room was white with only the bed, a desk covered with books, desk chair, a huge book shelves filled with books ,2 night stands and a red velvet sofa & a folded clothes at the foot of the bed. What a lonely room. There was no sign of the owners personality, just a plain room.
I slowly got up when suddenly a searing pain shot through me. I slumped back on the bed cringing with pain. I did not dare got up for fear the pain would aggravate again. My whole body felt sore, I moved my leg when the pain shot through me again. Where-it was coming from my backside-from my-I gasped.
Now I remember, out of anger I slapped Shindo and he- he did those things to me—I shuddered from the memory, all the events that happened resurface from my memory and I covered my face from the Shame, Anger, Disgust, Fear.
Am I back in his house again, with only the of us—Dear God, please get me out of here. - I pushed down the blanket, even that movement made my body ache again and I saw i was naked all the way to my feet. There were bite marks all over my body. I felt hot tears sliding down my face.
That Bastard—I'll never forgive him—I'll never forgive him. I Covered my eyes as I let the hot tears fall down.
Losing to him in GO- have shattered my pride –what he did to me—I just felt like dying. I'll never forgive him.
' Even -if you do this-I-I—still will find you. If I win- during our Match-I will -stop-bothering-you', I remembered in my hazy memory as I told Shindo this words. He was wearing that annoyed expression and he frowned when I told him.
I heard him sighed loudly, it couldn't been me as I was panting for air, 'I hate to lose Akira. If I win, stop bothering me to play GO and I get to ravish you 5 times. If you agree, then I shall release you from your pentup orgasm'.
I bit my lip. Bastard. Bastard.
What did I say to him? Did I agree? What happened after that?
'Urggh-Why can't I remember?', I said out loud. I grabbed my hair and scrunch it with bitterness.
Did I agree to it? I check my member and it was rested as it should be.
Did I agree to it? No-Noo-NO!
There was footsteps near the door. I quickly pulled the blanket to cover me, wipe my tears and pretended to sleep.
I hear the door open, the footsteps were getting closing.
I could smell a waft of Hot soup and Omelette, with warm milk. Beside me. He's probably carrying a Tray of food. I heard him put it on the Night stand to my left. The smell was stronger and I could feel my stomach churning from hunger.
Please don't make a sound. Please don't make a sound.
I felt a hand touching my hair then my forehead.
'Guess the fevers down', I heard Shindo speak. I wouldn't mistake that voice for anyone else. A cold voice.
I felt my whole body stiffened. He didn't make speak after that nor made a move to leave the room.
I was afraid of what he'll do to me.
When I heard a phone ring. That airplane call alert he set is phone to sound. For God knows why.
' Simon- What's wrong?', He asked with that cold voice of his.
I listened intently on their conversation.
'Throw it- It's probably some Magazines and papers that person sent just to annoy me', I heard him with that hint of annoyance in he's voice.
I couldn't hear what the other end was talking about, but it probably was quite long since Shindo hasn't responded yet.
Then suddenly I felt Shindo dropped down the side of the bed, making the bed bounce. The close proximity we have made my heart beat faster. I tried to control my breathing and prayed that I wouldn't be sweating right now.
'If its some luggage you didn't recognize. It's clearly not mine. For all I know, there could be a bomb in there. Throw it somewhere far.' He said out loud. He sounded like he was trying to control he's temper.
Luggage? Oh no-Is he talking about the luggage I sent to his house. Did it already arrive. I sent it before I went to school which means Today is Tuesday. This is bad, my attendance. Its bad enough that We're not in school and even more trouble since I told my parents that I'll be staying in my friends house for a week. I was afraid Shindo will pull a stunt like he did at the GO club, but what he did at the rooftop, I was caught unprepared. Now I'm stuck here with him for a week. My luggage. Naked in bed. Kill me now.
I felt Shindo moving closer as the side of the bed move.
Suddenly I felt my cheeks being touch gently. I tried to control my breathing but I felt my heart would jump out of my chest any minute now.
I heard him let out an exasperated sighed. 'Stubborn guy. Are you planning to barge into my house if I refuse to do that rematch with you?', I felt my cheeks got pinched , ' I bet you were planning to bother me the whole week both in school and in my house, the whole week,with that size of luggage.' he stopped pinching my cheeks, when I felt him leaned in and planted a quick kiss on my lips, then he touch he's forehead to mine. ' You've got to be kidding me'. He whispered softly. I could feel he's warm breath on my face. He's breath smelled like chocolate & milk.
Then that warmth left me and I felt him got up and close the door. I listened for his footsteps but all I could hear was faint footsteps descending the stairs.
I let out a long relieved sigh. Thank goodness he didn't do anything to me. But my lips and forehead felt hot from the contact earlier. Damn him.
Pervert. Bastard. The nerve.
I looked at the night stand and I could see warm Miso soup and Egg omelette, with warm milk on the tray.
Even if he do something like this. I won't forgive him.
I felt my stomach grumble. NO—you can't do this stomach- why are you being tempted by that Devil. The meal could be drugged or poisoned despite how warm—urghh. Don't give in stomach. But my stomach just continued to grumble and didn't listen to reason. The warm smell of the breakfast was just too tempting, even my mouth started to water.
I debated but no matter how I reasoned with myself, my primitive instinct to eat, was stronger than my reason not to.
I slowly got up, making sure not to stress my muscles to hard or it'll trigger the pain on my lower back.
I reached for the tray, testing the meal for poison. I don't even know how to do it. I just figured if I taste something funny, then this meal goes down, but when I tasted it. It taste just like Miso soup, the difference is, it was so delicious. I never tasted anything like it. I could smell that Chocolate smell again but there was no chocolate in it. Weird.
When I started eating, I could feel how dry my throat is and how starve I was.
I gulped it down as much as I can and after a few seconds I already cleaned the plate, I drank the warm milk and leaned my back on the wall. The wall was quite warm despite the Cold atmosphere of the room.
Despite the white interior of the room that makes it Cold and desolate in 1st glance, the room was pretty warm in itself. There was a distinctive smell inside- Chocolate. There was no doubt it was Shindo's room.
After being fed and fully awake, I racked my brain on how to get out of this situation. I tried getting up but the pain suddenly triggered again. Getting out of bed was out of the option.
Then how will I survive. Surely a week absent in school would make the Teacher call my parents, they'll question my whereabouts', but how will they now I'm at Shindo's house. I haven't told them yet, just vaguely told them a friend house at school. I looked around for my phone, a vain attempt.
It should-my school bag—where is it?
I just hope Shindo brought it back with him. They could trace my whereabouts' with it. But it should take 2-3 days before the school call my parents. Can I last for 3 days? I know from experience how strong Shindo is. I wouldn't last a second if I try to break out of the house. Should I just pretend to sleep.
I glanced at the cleaned plate on the night stand. My stupid stomach, but going for 3 days without eating will kill me. I banged my head on the wall.
There was no way out and no way to protect myself. I glanced at the door. If I could just get up and lock the door. I could hold out as much as I can. Make a deal with him. Oh yeah – I already made the deal. He agreed but I can't remember if I agreed to his terms. I banged my head on the wall, trying hopelessly for that piece of memory to resurface back up.
I heard the sound of footsteps and freeze. Is he coming back? I grabbed the blanket and covered myself with it. The piece of blanket won't protect me from him, but it gave me solace to have something to cover my nudity. The footsteps stop on the door. I held my breath. I was already planning to throw the plate and tray at Shindo once he tries to go near me. Grab the night lamp and pillows. I'm going to use what I can get a hold on to.
I waited with tense breath, but the door never opened. I could see the shadow from the gaps on the door. He was just standing behind the door. Did he hear me banging my head? What does it sound like to him?
Then the footsteps moved and head to the other side of the room. I could hear a door being opened and closed.
I breathe out a relieved sigh. Does he plan to make me lose my nerve. I'm already on the edge of fear here. Is he going to torture me like this?
I eyed the folded clothes on the bed. Since he's on the room, I could get dressed and escape. I wouldn't care how, as long as I can get away from here. My plan of convincing him for a week went down the drain. But I already made a deal with him. Seeing that I'm in his house with my member in one piece, I probably agreed to his terms. After all, he wouldn't be serving me warm meals and letting me sleep on his bed if I hadn't, right?
Although the thought of him seeing me naked and doing those things to me, scares me. But he did agree to have the rematch with me. I promise I won't bother him if I win, but what if I won't. Let's not think of that. I studied every strategy I know. Replayed our match over and over again, trying to read his move. There's no way I'm going to lose this time. Luck or Genius. I wouldn't care either way. I'm going to beat him and shove that to his face. See if he does that again. I'll throw him to jail.
The quicker we have the rematch, the quicker I'm out of this house. I waited for Shindo to enter the room and when he hasn't come back, I gathered myself and slowly pulled my body out of the bed. The pain came again, but I bit my lip holding it in. I felt sweats drip down my face.
I slowly pick up the clothes- but when I took a closer look, it wasn't clothes but a White Kimono. The one I wore before. I can't believe I'm wearing it again. Is he making fun of me?
I wobbled as I walk towards the door. I slowly opened it, making sure not to make any noise.
The interior outside the room was the same White walls. I looked around the rooms. I clearly heard him opening a room. There was a room on the left side close to the stairs, 3 rooms on the right. There was a slipper left outside to one of room with a double door to the right. I dragged my aching body and head for it. I inhaled deeply, gathered my wits. The white double door makes it harmless, but what I'm afraid is the one inside it. I swallowed hard and slowly turned on the knob. I opened the door ever so slowly and peek inside.
Inside the room was a massive library. Every shelf was covered in books of all sizes. I've never seen a rich rug like the one on the floor and the last thing that caught my attention was the Red sofa in the middle of it.
There was no window, but the sofa was facing to the other side, its back facing the door.
I wobbled as I entered, my heart pounding as I got nearer to the sofa.
When I reached it, I never knew a sight as what I was seeing now.
Shindo was lying on the floor beside an opened book with Martial arts content.
Close to him was a 19x19 old GO board. It looks like he was in the middle of the game. The game was left unfinished. From where Hikaru lied, he was white then who was black?
The stones where arrange in a pattern he has seen before. It closely resemble to the match they had before, but now, the style was different. Stronger, more modern, but complicated.
The black was obviously winning, but the white was right behind him, ready to trample him any second.
Of all the match he has seen, it's the 1st time he saw this style of playing. Old yet difficult to predict, impossible to win. I swallowed and yet only a few stones were laid on the board. If he played like this, before, I wouldn't stand a chance.
I clench my Kimono as I balled my hand to a fist. He was this strong. Did he lie because he knew I couldn't beat him? Did he laugh as I struggle desperately to have a rematch with him. Did he have fun doing it with me? I-I-How could someone this strong exist and yet treat GO like nothing.
I bit my lip. I was crying again. Everything just frustrated me that I couldn't help but cry.
Damn it all. Why-Why is it him? Dear God-Just who is he?
I covered my eyes with my hand. I just can't stop my crying. How many tears do I have in this eye that it just won't stop…..Stop –stop crying.
I was busy crying when I heard a groan. Shindo was waking up. I grabbed a book from the shelves and ready to throw it at him.
'Is the game over?' he asked to no one. He yawned and stretches himself; he crawled to the GO board pick up a white stone and placed it on the corner of the board, he then pick up a black stone and just like that place the black and white stone on the board. He just places it just like that without stopping to think. The way he gripped the stone using his thumb and forefinger clearly show he was a complete beginner.
When he was done, he grabbed the book on the ground and climb to the sofa; he curled to a ball and closed his eyes.
'Remind me again to make Egg roll and Fried Tofu when I wake up….Good night'. Then he was asleep. He's calm breathing prove that he is.
I placed the book back to where I got it and went back to check the GO board.
The game was over. The white won. Huh? How?
Wasn't the black winning? How the white did turned it around. Who was black and who was white. I don't know anymore. I sat down and leaned on the sofa. Fatigue was catching up to me. Now I know my idea to escape the house is in vain. I wouldn't make it out far. I'll surely collapse.
I didn't care how tired I was just by walking at a short distance from the room. I just want to keep awake and study this GO match Shindo created on his own. I already discarded the option of leaving the house. I'll use this 1 week to study Shindo's GO and challenge him at the end of the week. I should have plenty of time.
I studied the positions of where the stones were placed. How did it start? Where did the 1st stone got place.
It was evident from what I've seen earlier that the Black was stronger, but after Shindo's muttering, even as he sleepily place the stone. The game got turned around. I didn't even understand it. What did he do?
How could the white win? If I could figure it out. I could turn the game to my favour.
I have a chance to beat him.
~Shindo POV~
Hikaru
Hikaru
Wake up
HIKARU
I opened my eyes wide as I got up. I looked around and I was in the Study. Did I fall asleep. I scrunched my hair and groaned.
Oh yeah, Playing GO with Sai made me sleepy
'How dare you- It wasn't that bad. It was your fault you got sleepy in the middle of it
The game was just getting interesting'
'I heard you-', I stopped when I saw a tuft of green hair. ' Touya- what is he doing here?'
'You were drowsing when Touya entered the room. I was afraid he was gonna throw all the books at you when you suddenly woke up. It was thanks to my quick thinking that I save your sorry ass'
'Huh- why? – didn't you just told me to place the stone s quickly on the GO board then I can just go to sleep after. That's why I hurriedly place them where you instructed',
I got up and Pick up Touya. He was wearing the White Kimono I left on the bed. Better than letting him wear my Clothes. I would go insane if I saw him wearing my clothes, on that skinny body of his.
I can't believe he found this room, was he looking for me?
I glanced at the place where he was seated and he was clearly studying the GO board. The game was left untouched. I bet he fell asleep while studying this match.
'Seriously, this guy is a GO maniac, like you Sai'
'You just don't understand the passion we poured in our GO, do you Hikaru?'
'Not at all'
I laid Touya on the Sofa. If he wakes up, I bet he'll just dragged himself back to this room and look for the GO board, best to leave him here and let him immerse himself on the game. Then he and Sai could just stay here and I'll be left alone peacefully. I already miss a day of practice.
I looked Touya up and down and the bite marks was shown on his loosened Kimono. This guy didn't tied it properly when he wore it and now it's on the brink of getting loose. I could see he's member down, almost on the verge of being expose. I cursed and grab he's kimono. I covered him properly, tied the Obe on his waist and when I'm done. Got out of the room as quick as I can.
'What's wrong Hikaru?', Sai asked in that I'm –about-to-tease-you-voice, 'Was Touya to sexy for you?'
'Shut up Sai', I scrunched my hair and inhaled deeply. Calm down me.
I went back to my room, grab the blanket and went back to the study to cover Touya in it.
Does he have to be this careless! Weren't he afraid I'll do something to him again. This guy-is just-so unguarded. I grab the book of Martial Arts on the side of the sofa and hit my head with it. I inhaled deeply and slap my instinct to oblivion.
I head downstairs and Simon weren't there. He just appears out of nowhere as long as you need him so its fine. I took out the Apron, tied it on my waist and neck, and placed a Bandana to cover my hair. Hygiene first.
I opened the fridge took out ingredients and I prepared cooking Lunch.
The Menu for today is Fried Tofu, Spicy Egg roll, Miso soup, Baked Fished and Fried Dumplings.
Beverage shall be Tea.
' Wow Hikaru, even when I told you this, I still can't believe you can cook this food. Your too awesome'
I smiled. ' Your welcome- but is that one of your strategy to flatter me so I'll agree to let you play Go again, is it?'
Sai groaned while I simply chuckled. ' Hikaru, it's not like that. Why do you always twist my words'
'hahaha- your too cute when your pouting like that Sai', I laughed out loud, while I was frying tofu.
'moooh –Hikaru'
'Fine. I'll let you play today again, so stop pouting like that', I was holding the other Pot, where I was turning on some egg roll.
'say you mean it?'
'I mean it'.
'YES'. Sai pumped his fist on the air and did his celebratory dance.
I should just entertain his whims once in a while. After all, how long can he be allowed to stay like this in this world as ghost? Its better if I won't refuse him too much, but he's pouty face is just too cute; I can't resist teasing him.
I placed the fish in the Oven, while I followed to Frying the Dumplings.
I felt a presence behind me, 'Simon you're here'
I turned around and the guy was covered in smudge and mother oil.
'ahhaha- what happened to you?'
' I was fixing the motorcycle the old- I mean your family left behind Ma-Hikaru. It was in a pretty bad condition so I did some tweaks to it'
'A motorcycle- How long since I've ridden those'
'It means never- if you wanted to ride a motorcycle, I could fetch you anytime, as long as I am driving it'
I frowned- Not gonna happen
I turned back to check on the dumplings, when they were a rich golden brown, I took them out and plate them. The oven just in time beep indicating for the fish to be cooked.
Then I set the table and prepared the tray for Touya.
'Are you going to send that food to the study Hikaru?' Sai asked. I froze.
I remembered the rule the owner set on this house. Even if he allowed his house to be used by us temporarily, he didn't forgot to give us a few rules- We're talking about A scrolled paper here with all the rules there is to abide.
I remembered #24. Never Bring any foods, beverages or conduct explicit activities that would ruin the books, rug, & velvet chair. Failure to do so shall be dealt with accordingly.
I didn't even want to know what the punishment is.
I should just asked Simon to wake up Touya. Brilliant.
'Did you forgot Touya was wearing a Kimono and Simon is a man'
'I'm not blind, of course I know Simon is a man'
'and you are too'
'What are you going about?'
'Do you like Touya to be touch by any man aside from you'
'Last time I checked, I don't care and I'm you're fairy god mother'
'Stop kidding with me, I'm being serious here Hikaru'
'This is my serious face', I showed Sai my whacked out face. And he almost bolt to tackle me, good thing he just pass through.
'You idiotic, good for nothing, GO wrecker, muscle brain, psycho', I drone out the rest as clearly Sai didn't stop there.
I carried the Tray and place them in my room. At least the room I've chosen doesn't have any White expensive rare Persian rug. I knock on Simon's door and announced Lunch.
I entered the Study and Touya was still sleeping. How long does he intend to be sleeping.
I stand behind the back of the sofa, careful to be a slight distance from his arms. I carefully shook Touya to wake him up.
'Akira, Wake up', I flick his forehead with just a slight force making him groan, he rubbed his forehead and turned to shift on the sofa. When he turned he got on the edge, I jumped and landed myself in front of the sofa, I heard him yelp and caught him before he could fall.
'Did the sleeping prince finally woke up after a passionate kiss from he's princess', I teased him when Touya woke up and was unconsciously clinging to my shirt. I smirked playfully, should I let him fall like this sometimes.
The look when he realize who I was, is gratifying. He tried pushing me away from him but I held my ground. Does he realize the position he's in right now, if I let him go he'll certainly fall.
'Akira-', I snarled, he was making me loss my patience.
When he stop struggling I lifted him up and carried him to my bed.
'It's serving you lunch but Nobody's allowed to eat inside the study. If you're done eating you can return to the Study but for now, please eat in the bed. You'll clearly would faint if I dragged you downstairs and force you to sit on the chair', I told him as I gently laid him on the bed. Careful to avoid his lower back.
I placed the tray beside him, 'You should eat them while they're still hot', I pointed to the pill on a tiny plate. ' Please take this when you're done, It's a pill that treats all kinds of wound'. We locked eyes and I winked.
I got up and head out the door.
'Shindo', I stopped. ' About that rematch-', Not again, ' Can we do it at the end of the week'.
It was my turn to be surprise. I felt my jaw drop and Sai kindly pointed it out.
'How about now after you're done eating?', i heard him inhale deeply
'No- I want it at the end of the week', he pushed in stubbornly.
'And if I refused?'
'I'll never let you hear the end of it'
Sai giggled and I just felt all my reason slipping out from me. I have this urge to just bang my head on this door and throw this boy out of the house, but my kind, loving, generous reason, clearly told me to say yes.
Then what about the deal?
'Okay, but the deal still stands. If you win, Never bother me again, but If I win-', I turned to met his eyes.
I showed him my most devilish smile, ' If I win, you'll be my plaything for 5 months'.
Touya's eyes widen in shock, and he's pale skin just got even paler. Did he forgot what our deal was. Of course the original was 'If I win, I'll do him 5 times, but it's boring, and he's the perfect opponent for Sai, so I settled for 5 months. Even if he refused, then I wouldn't give him the satisfaction and having a rematch with him. Give and Take.
I saw how is eyes wavered, just like last time. He bit his lip and and he's eyelids fluttered.
I waited calmly for his reply, when there was a knock on my door.
'Hikaru- how long are you going to stay there. I already finish eating lunch, the foods going to get colder', Simon called behind the door.
'Sorry- I'll be there in a sec'
I turned to Touya. ' I'll drop by later, after I finish washing the dishes, I expect to hear your answer by then'.
