Disclaimer : I don't won either Hikaru no Go or Spiral.

Chapter 8 : The winner

" Do you think that he'll just watch you killing people?" Hikaru didn't let him escape easily. " No, he's not that kind of man. He's very kind. He knows how it feels to lose someone you love. Therefore, he won't let you enjoy your hunting, he will do everything to stop you. Moreover, Kousuke, Ryoko and Rio will help him killing you as a revenge for Eyes,"

" I'll kill them all then,"

" Correct me if I'm wrong but you won't kill anyone except the Blade Children, Are you willing to break your rule? Your dignity?"

"…If he tries to stop me, I guess I have no choice,"

" Then what? Only the strongest will survive,"

" I'm sure that I'm the one,"

" Really? I'm not sure about that," Hikaru chuckled. " If he dies and everything goes the way you want it to be, what's next? What will you do after your dream comes true?"

" I…"

" What will a man do after he fulfills his dream? When all the reason of his existence is gone,"

" I'll kill myself, the Blade Children shouldn't be born from the first place,"

" Kill yourself, huh? What a worthless life!" Hikaru attacked in the center.

" !" Kanone was cornered now.

" But you won't let it to be that way, right? It's not your nature. You know that, We all know that! So does He. If you have to die, you'll make it to be a meaningful death. Kiyotaka knows that too. He leaves you only one choice left,"

" Which is?"

" You must let his little brother kill you," Hikaru was smiling, he knew that he had already won the game..both games actually. " Narumi Ayumu, Kiyotaka's little brother, the one closest to God but not God himself. He's the only person who can fight Mizuchiro Hizumi, the one who closest to Satan but not Satan himself,"

" How did you know that name?" He shouldn't know Hizumi.

" Eyes told me, who else could it be?"

He didn't tell me but he told him? Who is this guy? Why does Eyes trust him more than me?

" If you let he kill you, he'll become stronger by your death. Your death body will become the stairs that lead him to God. You'll be the next John, the Baptist who paved a path for Jesus, isn't that cool? " Kanone fell into another trap.

He's right. I can't kill myself and end my life as a loser, If I have to die, I'd rather…!No way! Kiyotaka! He knows this!

" Yes, If you choose this choice, it means that you do exactly what he wants you to. You'll be nothing but his puppet,"

No! This can't be true. I'm not being used by him! I'm not that stupid! There was no way out for him, he just placed the stone uselessly.

" He's a better player. You're dancing around, playing your role in his plan without knowing anything,"

" I…"

" You know that I'm correct. Accept it! Damn it! Or do you want to let him to be a player using you as a stone?" Hikaru showed him a white stone.

Damn it! He's right again! Kiyotaka is using me! What does he think I am? His stupid puppet? " What do you suggest?"

" Go back to Eyes,"

" And then what? Praying together? There is no future for us!"

" You can't see it now, it doesn't mean that there isn't,"

" It's easy for you to say! You're not one of us!" Kanone suddenly stood up shouting angrily.

" What other choice do you have? If you play his game, you'll die either way,"

"…."

" If you dies, nothing will change. If you live, maybe you can change the future. Where is life, there is hope,"

"..I..I almost kill him,"

" He'll forgive you, you guys are brothers," Hikaru smiled as he placed the last stone.

" I've lost,"

" Thank you for the game," He bowed.

What you MUST know : Ok, right now, maybe you are asking me " What the hell are they talking about?" So ,here is the explanation.

All about the Blade Children : Many years ago, there was a man who born with a missing left rib, his name was Mizuchiro Yaiba ( in Japanese Yaiba means Blade). He formed a secret organization. Everybody adored him, he was a genius and a very good guy. People called him " God". They believed that Yaiba would make the world become a better place. Then "The Blade Chidren project" was started. They used Yaiba's sperms to create the children. So all the Blade Children had the same father, and it was Yaiba.The result was good. All the Blade Children were just like a mini-Yaiba. They were all genius, they even shared Yaiba's taste. They were called " The Children of God".

Many years past, Yaiba changed. Everyone asked him what happened to him. Yaiba said that when he was 20, he heard a voice from God telling him to destroy mankind. They were so shock, they even tried to kill Yaiba. But they couldn't. Yaiba was a strong powerful man, it was like he was protected by something that we couldn't see. Yaiba was no longer God, he became Satan. Some of them left the organization and formed a group called " The Hunter". The Hunter knew that they couldn't kill Yaiba so they changed their target. They went to kill all The Blade Children because they feared that the children would become Satan at the age of 20 just like the way their father was. This happened when the children was 5 years old.

Suddenly, Japanese young man appeared before Yaiba and killed him. His name was Narumi Kiyotaka. Kiyotaka claimed that when he was 20, he heard a voice from another God telling him to kill Yaiba. So Kiyotaka became God and Satan was destroyed.

What's about the Blade Children? They were so confident that one day they would become Satan. Kiyotaka said he couldn't do anything about it 'coz God only gave him the power to kill Yaiba ( Satan). Kiyotaka told them that he had a brother, Ayumu. Ayumu was a genius like him but different from him. If he was God, Ayumu would be the one closest to God but not God himself. He said that Ayumu had a key to cure the curse,everybody believed him.Ayumu became the messiah for the Blade Children.

But Kiyotaka told no one about Mizuchiro Hizumi, Yaiba's little brother. If Yaiba was a Satan, Hizumi was the one closest to Satan. If Ayumu was white, Hizumi was black. They were born to fight against each other. So the truth was Ayumu wasn't born to save the Blade Children but he was born to kill Hizumi. But that's the secret, The Blade Children still believed in Kiyotaka's lie. But Eyes knew about Hizumi but he didn't tell anyone, Kanone just found out about this so he thought it was hopeless for them, that's why he changed side, he thought it would be easier for them if they just died.

A/N : what a complicated story! By the way, Hikaru is a good negitiator, isn't he? When he lied to Akira, he's so smooth.

krylancelo : Thank you :D

dragonshadows : Glad you think the same, he's a Go player so he should solve the problem by Go, right?

kathystgqvk : haha, that's true, Saiya and his friends never lost! It's the advantage of being a good guy! BingBong! that's correct! Hikaru took the Wisteria because it reminded him of Sai. But why didn't he take the whole bouquet?

To :) : You got it right! About Hikaru, we'll know more about him next chapter.

fireheagehoq : that's the secret :) By the way, everytimes I see you name, it remind me of Sonic X!
