Chapter 6 : The bet
The next morning,
This morning Hikaru woke up to a clear blue sky with a slight feeling of guilt that the night before he had left the older pro alone in the park but he had to rest. Besides, he didn't want the other man to see him crying. Talking about Sai made him felt…he didn't know how to describe this feeling. Thinking about Sai brought him joy and grief in the same time.
Last night he had taken a bath as soon as he had arrived home. Cold water running through his silky hair down to his chest had clam him down. He once again had tried to clear his mind and gone to bed resting for a big game in the following day.
It was definitely a beautiful morning, the sky was crystal clear and cloudless, butterflies were flying, kindergarten students were singing and laughing. Hikaru did feel better by the scenery.
As he arrived the building that lately he spent most of his time in, he went directly to the 6th floor. The minute he stepped out the elevator, there he was…
" Good morning," said the man in a white suit.
" 'Morning," The isolated 10 Dans approached him with the unburning-Larks in his mouth, the trendy blond sighed boringly.
" Since when I have become your personal cigarette-lighting boy?" he complained, still he expertly lit the lighter as if he was a professional host in a club. Smirking satisfactorily, Seiji didn't answer.
" Who's your opponent today?" he asked the boy.
" Kamiyama, 7 Dans,"
" Ahh, that well known 7 Dans," Ogata didn't know him personally but he had heard of him.
" You know him?"
" I've heard of him, they said he was the most strongest 7 Dans right now, one of the promising young pro. I've not played with him yet but if he's good enough to be a 7 Dans in his twenties, I think he's not just a lousy pro," the grey-eyed man gave a long comment.
" Really? Is he that strong? Good, I'll beat him, he'll be a good challenge," Shindou-pro declared confidently, a winning look flashed in his brilliant green eyes.
What a cocky brat! Laughing out loud in his mind, the Gosei thought. He remains me of myself. " Ne, if you win, I'll buy you lunch," he proposed.
" Really?" Hikaru exclaimed happily.
" On the other hand, if you lose, you must buy me lunch," Giving the young pro his infamous creepy smile, he informed him the deal.
" Deal! See you at the lobby, We'll see who's gonna go back home with an empty wallet!" the arrogant 1 Dan declared loudly before he went into the game room.
It's time, I should go too. Then Ogata went to another game room.
" Is that Ogata-Sensei and Shindou-kun?" Thinking his eyes had fooled him, Kousemura asked Takano, his journalist friend.
" …I think..yes," answered in disbelief Takano.
A/N : Why I always mention the 6th floor? 'Coz the game room, the Yugen room and the Kifu room are actually on this floor. ( What a short chapter!)
The 7th floor was the Media. The 2nd floor was the opening area for the public.
