Chapter 7 : You're not my enemy

The next day, at the association

" Damn it! I've totally forgot about Touya, I just gave him another reason to scold me," Hikaru shook his head. " A can of coffee must be nice," he didn't sleep well last night and woke up early this morning.

Touya has a game this afternoon so I can't see him today. He thought as he put a coin in vending machine. Waya doesn't have a game today. And I don't know about the rest of us.

" You have to push the button, Punk, just staring isn't enough, it's not that hi-tech."

" Kuwabara-sensei!" Hikaru bowed immediately.

" I don't expect you to be here this early," the old man said.

" Well…" or maybe I should ask him, he's been living for so long anyway!

As Kuwabara began to walk away, the young pro blurted out.

" Sensei!"

" You don't have to shout ,Punk, I'm not deaf!"

" am..I'm sorry,sensei,….a..Ano…have you ever hated someone?" his voice was nearly be heard.

It's not everyday that a punk who was so young enough to be his grandchild questioned him this kind of question. Kuwabara was more than surprise. He looked at Hikaru sharply.

" Hate is a strong word, kid, But yes, of course, it's a part of human life and I'm one of them," As he passed Hikaru, " But remember, kid, hate brings only a stronger hate," Then he walked away.

…….

Hikaru was speechless. He's still standing by the vending machine. Bing! The elevator opened, pros came out .

It's almost time. I need to focus on my game. Focus!Focus!Fight!Fight!

Though the game took more time than usual but he won. I'm tired…maybe manga can help. He smiled to himself.

"Shindou,"

" It's you again," Please tell me that it's just a dream. Ko-Yongha isn't waiting for me in front of the association building.

" Hello,"

"Aaa," It's not a dream. Can anything get worst?

" Can we talk?" I want to.

" I have to go." Hikaru turned away.

"I'm going with you then," I'm not letting you go that easily.

I'm too tired to argue with him. " Do as you wish,

"

Then they walked in silence.

Where're we going anyway?

Hikaru could hear his mom and Kuwabara's voices echoing in his mind.

misunderstanding….it's between intention and accident…how sincere he is?...it's no one's fault…what're you going to doing next?...only 2 choices..

It's a part of human life…hate brings only a stronger hate….

"…We're here."

A bookstore? " Good, maybe I can find some guidebooks here,"

Yongha watched as Hikaru was heading to 'Manga Section', he went to Travel Section.

Where is he now? The Japanese boy disappeared. He can't just leave me here alone, right? He's not that cold. There he is, Literary Section?

" Manga and classical literature, what a complex combination," Hikaru turned to Yongha.

" Don't be angry, I don't mean it in the bad way,"

" Which way then?"

" I just want to say that you're a very interesting person….and I'd like to know more about you," Yongha smiled softly.

The young boy blushed, " To know me?"

" As a friend," the Korean smiled again. " And as a rival."

" Friend and Rival?" Hikaru closed his book , " I wonder between friend and rival which one you want me to be."

" Right now? Rival, of course…Shindou, rival, not enemy. But it seems to me that you think that I'm your enemy not rival. Even I don't like having enemy,Shindou. Rival? Yes. But not enemy, And I think you don't either," Yongha looked straight at Hikaru's eyes. " And I'll be glad if we can be friends. Don't you think that us, the young generation, should be friends? There're few of us in the go world."

…….hate brings only a stronger hate……

…..when we hate someone we only see his bad side….

Hmm…he's trying so hard..maybe I should..

" You're not my enemy, Ko-Yongha"


A/N : People talk a lot in this fanfic…Yongha's very smooth, isn't he: ) So? What do you think about this Hikaru and this Yongha? Love them? Hate them? Please tell me : )

Hikaru consulted Kuwabara! Well, though Kuwabara always calls Hikaru a Punk but I think he doesn't hate him or anything, in fact he likes him a lot!
