Chapter 7 : A tricky angel

…Pachi…

…Pachi…

…Pachi…

" So, may I ask you That few questions now?" Kanone wondered if the pro would keep his promise.

" Please," Shindou Hikaru was a man of his word.

" Are you a Blade Children?" This is what I want to know the most.

"…The left ribs are still here, all of them," It was a well-known secret among the Blade Children and people who worked for the organization that the child with a missing left rib was a Blade Children.The missing left ribwas their symbol.

So, he's not one of us. " Eyes made a right decision to choose you as a messenger," He knows my rule, my only rule. Kanone swore to himself that he would never kill the innocent. He killed only the Blade Children.

…Pachi..

Hikaru said nothing, he continued placing his white stone on the goban.

" Do you work for him?"

" He's not my boss, if that what you mean,"

" Friend?"

" Brother, a big brother,"

Brother? Eyes and the outsider are brothers? " What does he want? Why did he send you to me?"

" He wants you to join him...again..like you used to,"

…Pachi…

…Pachi…

…Pachi…

They played for 20 minutes. Neither of them spoke, until Kanone broke the silence.

" Why don't you ask me anything? Don't you want to know why did I become a Hunter?" He was confused. Hikaru had implied that he wanted him to rejoin Eyes but he didn't say anything. Or he thinks that I'll change my mind just because he asks me to?

" Oh! Do you want me to?" Hikaru asked surprisingly.

Kanone had just realized that he made a wrong step. By saying that, he let Hikaru got an upper hand.

" So, why did you become a Hunter hunting your own kind?" As his request, the Angel asked him.

" Because I've seen the truth,"

" Which is?"

" Eyes is nothing but a fool and a liar. He keeps on praying, asking for a blessing from God. But the truth is, there is no such thing. He knows that too but he denies the truth and keeps lying to us,"

" I agree,"

What? He agrees? Isn't he supposed to be on Eyes's side?

" God doesn't exist,"the blondestated strongly looking up from the goban to meet his opponent's eyes. If he does exist, then why Sai..why Sai.. " But he won't stop prayinguntil the end of the world, just like that song,"

" You mean that song?"

" Yeah, the one by Franzliszt,"

" He has never told me the name of the song,"

" It's called ' Blessing of God in Solitude',"

" Did he tell you that?"

" He even taught me how to play it,"

"…."

Hikaru knew that now he got his attention so he continued speaking. " Everything he knows, I know. I know about you too, you're like a big brother to him," Hikaru stopped a little to take a look at him. " That's why I'm very surprised that you tried to kill him,"

" I did it for his sake,"

" By putting him into a coma?"

" He's too tired, he deserves a peaceful rest."

" That's what you think. No matter what he wants to live. You're such a pathetic loser, you're too weak but it doesn't mean that the others are like you. If you want to die, Don't drag the others with you,"

" Call me what you want, I'll kill the Blade Children, this is my decision," Kanone tried to escape the white stone.

" Your decision?"

" Yes, my decision," He confirmed.

" Yours?"

" I don't like saying the same thing twice," He made it.

" Do you really believe that it's your decision?"

" What do you mean by that?"

" You're here to kill Eyes because they ordered you to. It's not your decision, it's theirs, their order," But it turned out to be a trap.

" That's.."

Hikaru didn't let him finish saying it. He knew that Kanone started fidgeting, if he wanted to attack, he had to do it right now.

" Do you actually think that you joined the Hunter by your own will?" He kept attacking Kanone's black stone.

" Of course, I do," Kanone heavily answered.

" Don't tell me that you actually believe that! Oh boy, you're pretty slow for a Blade Children," laughed the blond. " He told Eyes and the rest that he couldn't change your mind. But the truth is, he is the one who led you to the Hunter from the first place,"

" That's not true, Kiyotaka didn't…." Kanone was losing his left territory.

" Ah! Who said that it was Kiyotaka?" Hikaru grinned. " See? Even you think that he's behind everything,"

" I…"

" Let me ask you a question, If Eyes dies, what will happen next?"

" I'll hunt all the Blade Children down," Kanone escaped to the right.

"Nah! Sorry, wrong answer,"

" Excuse me?"

" If he dies, Narumi Ayumu will enter to this game,"


Extra info :

Naruni Kiyotaka : A mystery men who is behind this mystery.He's a true genius,people call him " God".

Narumi Ayumu : Kiyotaka's brother.

Ayame : Ayame is an extremely important flower in Spiral 'coz it is Kiyotaka's favorite flower. It becomes his symbol. When ever Kiyotaka wants to send a message to someone, he'll send the flower too. Once, Kousuke was told to kill a man, Kiyotaka told him to put Ayame beside the death body. I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to spoil the fic. In flower language, Ayame means The happiness to the Believer.


A/N : So here is the question : Why didn't Hikaru take the whole bouquet, why did he only take the Wisteria?

Ok, right now, you must really hate The Hunter. Why not,right? They want to kill the BC, and it's them who order Kanone to kill Eyes. Well..I think it won't be fair if I don't tell you more about them.

As you knew that they want to kill all the BC, maybe you're thinkinglike " Hey! why do they want to do that, they're just 17, for god sake!" Well...don't forget that they aren't just normal teenagers. They havea Cursed blood running in their body. Eyes, for example..do you know why he became a pianist? When he was 3, he saw an ant on the floor, he killed it. After that, he started killing small insects such as butterflies, grassshoppers..ect. When he was 5, he tied a sling to a dog's neck and sufficated it to death. His mom didn't want him to be a murderer so she taught him how to play the piano...for keeping him busy. Now you know why Kousuke said that they all were the murderers.

Fireheagehog : Good job, you're the first who noticed about " Uriel".

thuyhy thuyhy : Thank you, neighbor : )

To : ) :I guess Hikaru is going to stop Kannon by trying to change him or something?" Good job, that's right!
