Chapter 17 : Déjà vu
The next day, around noon
Who is it? Ogata wondered when he heard the door bell rang, " Yes?" he opened the door.
" Hi," the familiar bleached bangs boy greeted.
" Ah, it's you," Seiji uttered boringly as he went back to the living room. The young pro took off his shoes and went directly to observe the aquarium, "What brings you here today? I thought you had a teaching game,"
" It's in the morning, I've already finished it," the bright guest skipped to the armchair next to the couch that he friend was sitting on, " How's your back?"
" Much better," Putting his feet on the glass table in front of him, the grey-eyed man stretched his arm lazily.
" I bring you something," said the boy in a long-sleeved black t-shirt and dark blue cargo-pants as he opened his black-yellow back bag searching for a gift, " Voila, here," he handed it to his lifeless friend.
" ' 20 Easy dishes: Even monkeys can cook'?" the Jyudan read the title, " Hey!"
" I burn a CD for you too," Inserting the CD into the DVD-Player, Hikaru tossed a thin plastic container to the other man.
" Sunday morning: Maroon 5, Lonely no more: Rob Thomas, Sighs: Snoop Dogg?" Seiji read the song list, " Who the hell is this Snoop Dogg?" What kind of a man whose name is Snoop Dogg?
" Everybody knows Snoop Dogg," That wasn't quite the answer that Seiji wanted, " This song he sings with Justin Timberlake," the trendy pro added, "Ah! I should go now, I've a study session today and I've to meet Touya in the evening,"
" Akira? Are you going to meet Akira?" the 27-year-old Gosei asked curiously.
" Umm, yeah, we practice together at his Go salon whenever we have time," the blond narrated as he put on his sneakers.
Really? Akira has never told me that.Umm…
" Bye, see you later," Hikaru waved casually.
" Ah, Later," Seiji tilted his head in return. When the 1 Dan was out of his sight, he went back to his favorite couch.
Don't Phunk with my heart: Black Eyed Peas?
An hour later, at Japanese Go Association
" They didwhat!" Waya cried out in terror.
" It's true, Waya, I swear, Their forehead were only an inch apart, they almost kissed!" Saeki claimed, " Then Ogata-Sensei dragged him out for dinner!"
" What? Shindou and Ogata-Sensei! What the hell!" the younger pro didn't know what else to say.
" There he is," Saeki said as he saw the mysterious boy running toward them.
" Hi, Waya, Saeki-san," Waving vividly, Hikaru greeted his friends cheerily, " Let's go, guys, If not we're going to be late... again," he skipped into the building.
" Wait! Shindou!" the 2 Dans hurriedly ran after his friend. I'm not gonna let him slip away this time! The white-haired pro also ran after his underclassmen.
" What is it? Waya," the punk pro asked uninterestingly as his friends finally caught on him in the elevator, " What is it this time?"
" You know damn well what I want to know, Shindou," the pro in a causal jean pressed.
" Hell no, I don't," the dense boy gave him his confused look.
" About you and Ogata-Sensei," the reddish-brown-haired boy clarified.
" Oh, man, we're talking about this again?" Shaking his head weakly, the blond sighed.
" Of course! Shindou, we're going to talk about this and you're going to answer my question!" Putting both hands on Hikaru's shoulder, drawing his face near the young boy's, Waya threatened his underclassman.
" Whi.. Which is?" the 1 Dans stammered. Man, Waya is so scary.
" Are you two friends? Since when?"
" We're not, I hardly know Ogata-Sensei,"
" Shindou, you almost kissed the man yesterday," Saeki pointed out.
" I didn't! He only wanted to get a light from my cigarette!" Hikaru said defensively in alarm.
" Cigarette? Shindou! Do you smoke!" the big brother screamed in horror.
" What! Is it true? Shindou! You smoke?" Waya shouted nosily.
" Come on, man, I'm 15," Getting annoyed, the gold-haired boy simply said it.
" That means you're not allowed to smoke! What're you thinking? Are you out of your mind?" the funky pro exploded wildly.
" Don't tell me that you have never tried?" the little brother questioned. Oh! Here we are.
" No! I've not!" the 2 Dans burst out furiously as they reached the 5th floor.
" I bet Saeki-san used to try it too," Turning to the oldest pro, the blond asked, " Right? Saeki-san, Maybe around my age, right?" he glanced at the 5 Dans.
" Err…well," Saeki stuttered, he did smoke when he was around Hikaru's age.
" See? Even Saeki-san used to," Taking off his shoes, Hikaru smirked.
" Shindou! You shouldn't…Okay, Forget it, Tell me about Ogata-Sensei," Waya went back to the old topic.
" What's about him?" the skillful pro asked naively.
" You know what I mean! Stop fooling around! Since when you become close to him?" the frustrated boy hollered.
" For the last time, Waya, I barely know Ogata-Sensei but I do know Seiji-san," Entering the study room, the slippery pro uttered remotely.
" What the hell are you talking about?" the angry 2 Dans blew off.
" Waya!" the familiar thunder struck again.
" S..Sensei!" I'm so dead!
He is so dead. Thought quietly Hikaru, Saeki, Shrikawa and Tsuzuki.
" You did it again!" Morishita went off irately, " Do you forget what I've taught you already! I can't believe it! You! Come here!" he pointed at the seat in front of him with his fan, " Waya! How many times that I have to tell you that…."
Can anything get worse than this? Waya sighed heavily.
