Seeing Everything

"Sai, Why is Touya staring at me? He's making me feel uncomfortable. Do I have something on my face?" Hikaru turned towards Sai so he could check.

~"I'm not sure what he finds so fascinating. You look like you always do."~ Sai said with a shrug. ~"Maybe he is worried about your game next week."~

"I don't think so. He looks almost surprised . He isn't worried so why is he looking at me like that?" Hikaru felt himself getting angrier every time he snuck a glance over at the silent boy.

Sai flicked open his fan and examined the green eyes that were intently following his charges every move. With a sly smile he faced Hikaru quickly he covered his mouth with the fan.

~"I think he is interested in you."~

"What do you mean interested in me? He knows I'm his rival, of course, he is interested in my ability."

~"I don't think you understand what I meant. Let me rephrase it. Touya likes you. You probably haven't noticed but when he thinks no one is watching him the looks he gives you are so tender. It is only when he sees you look that his eyes become cold."~

"Are you saying you think Touya likes boys not girls? I think you are wrong . He hates me that's all."

~"Umm, If you say so. "~ Sai laughed softly as his mind drifted back to his first love.

He was new to court. Slightly scared but pretending to be confident. Sai had only been at court for a few weeks. He had been at the Emperor's country estate with the rest of the privileged few the Emperor had taken with him during his time of seclusion. So he had missed the introduction of the raven haired youth to the court.

The ladies were merciless to the new members. Sai saw the youth searching frantically for a way to escape from the two matrons who had cornered him. Sai looked at the two horrible daughters they had been trying to marry of for the last two years.

Sai had rescued Taka that night. Within the week the had become lovers. Sai remembered the first time he had seen that look in his lover's eyes.

~The same look as in Touya Akira's eyes.~ Sai sighed as he watched Hikaru loose himself in the game. ~That young man looks at Hikaru the same way Taka looked at me. Taka I still miss you. I wish you had not died so young. If you had been there I might not have drowned myself.~

"That was a great game. I learned a lot. I love when we play against high level players. Tomorrow is going to be boring though they have me scheduled to teach go at a seminar. I wonder who I'll be paired with. I heard that they are sending three pairs because it's supposed to be such a big event. First we have a demonstration game then we break into groups and do instruction. I hope I get paired with Waya he said he is working it too."

Sai listened to Hikaru ramble. Whenever Hikaru had played an interesting game he seemed to ride an emotional high for several minutes.

~"I'm sure you would enjoy a game with Waya, but wouldn't it be more exciting if it was someone you don't play as often as him."~ Sai watched Hikaru frown.

"Yeah that would be fun, but the teaching part would more fun with some one I know."

"Well I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning."

Hikaru and Sai walked into the building. Hikaru started craning his neck to see through the gathering crowd.

"Sai do you see Waya or anyone else we know. The center said they would leave the list of pairs at the information desk. Help me look for it."

"Shindo."

"Waah. Touya you startled me. What are you doing here?"

"The same thing as you. I was assigned as your pair." Touya glanced over Hikaru shoulder. "Here comes your friend Waya."

"Shindo. Did you find the desk? Do you know who your partner is?" Waya asked as he walked up to the younger boy. "Touya. I didn't know you were working this event."

"Yes. I'm Shindo's for today. I believe you are paired with Ochi. But the desk is on that far wall if you wish to verify who your partner is," Touya stated in a cool voice.

"You're Shindo's? Hmm should be interesting." Waya said. Slowly he walked past Shindo he leaned in and whispered. "Sorry you got stuck with such a cold fish."

Sai saw Touya's eye's flash as he overheard Waya's remark. ~I don't think he's nearly as calm or cold as Waya thinks. If looks could kill Waya would be dead. This should be more interesting than I would have thought.~

Touya reached over and grabbed Hikaru's hand. "Our table is over hear let's go set up the game starts in ten minutes."

"Okay." Hikaru glanced down at the hand that was gently pulling him through the crowd. He felt himself start to blush.

He really is cute. Especially when he is concentrating. What am I thinking? Sai. Why did you have to say he likes me. Now I can't seem to think of anything else.
