Chapter 10 : Revealing the evil plan

" So, this is what's it all about?" Hikaru snorted scornfully, " The Hand of God, I should have known," Finally, the light dawned on him, he understood everything clearly now, " You want this body, don't you?"

"………"

" Therefore, you have to get rid of me," he knew he was right, " You want to erase me,"

"………"

" You lied, it's not about the game with Touya-Sensei at all," At this moment he could see through all Sai's plan, " You took a nap to store your force and waited for the day to be strong enough to take over my body,"

" There's not enough room for two souls in one body,"

" When?" he asked.

" When what?" Sai didn't comprehend the question.

" When did you come up with this wicked idea?" the heartbreaking boy shed light on.

"…Since the day I know I could control your body," the enigmatic Net-Go player made a clean breast, " The day we played with Touya Kouyo at his Go salon," If Shindou Hikaru was the Prince of Conspiracy, Fujiwara no Sai was the King.

" Aaa," the naïve Prince nodded, he remembered that day well, " That day,"

" Yes, 3 years ago,"

" You did try to control me," he laughed at himself quietly. He was seldom right but when he was…

" It's that day I knew," Kouyo's rival spoke out.

" Knew what?" Hikaru questioned as the dark ropes slowly climbed up to his legs, it was like having a big powerful scary hideous snake tying around him trying to squeeze him to death.

" Knew that I wasn't just an organ, that I wasn't just a heart, a part of you. The longer we live together, the more we become a part of each other," the icy-blue-eyed guy explained his discovery, " Can't you see? Hikaru! We're becoming one!" he said excitingly.

" And you make you that the one who remains is you," the displeased young boy in a white T-shirt and white loosely cargo-pants retorted sarcastically.

"………."

" By consuming me," he uttered unmistakably , " deleting me, killing me alive,"

" Only the strongest will survive,"

" Why? Sai? Why?" With bitter tears filled up in his cloudy emerald eyes and his slight shaking voice, he wept mournfully.

" I got the second chance," Sai came clean of what had been in his mind for 3 years, " I don't want to waste it,"

" I know you and I have never been friends, for you, I'm just…I'm nothing more than the owner of the body but we're together for 3 years…all the time, everywhere…always be together," Hikaru talked about their old days, " You taught me the game, I took you where ever you wanted to go…Amateur Go World Tournament, Hiroshima…Doesn't it mean anything to you?" he asked as the warm tear ran down his tan cheeks.

" Of course, it does mean a lot to me…Since I was little, I was always left alone because of my health, I couldn't play with other kids," It didn't change at all when he had grown up, Fujiwara no Sai was always alone. He remembered those days when he had spent his lunch break reading his literary books or studying kifu in a library instead of playing football like other normal high school boys. He remembered damn well how empty the house had been after his parents' death, he had went home but there was no one there waiting for his return or congratulating him on passing the extrance examination, he had had nothing to do but lock himself in his big bedroom playing Go against himself. He also remembered passing each day in Tatekawa Hospital talking to nobody except Dr. Hara and the nurses who had come in to bathe him or bring him food, no one had ever visited him, he had been dying but the world hadn't cared, no one had.

Until the day he had woken up in Hikaru's body, he had been so sure that a day he had spent with the talkative boy, he had talked more than he had ever talked to anybody in his 20 years lifetime, " You're my student, my pride….the closet friend I've ever had,"

" Said by the man who is about to erase me and steal my body," Mocking, the grief-stricken boy sneered, " Murderer,"

"I'm not," Sai in his black shirt and his black slacks denied, " Besides, it's not that you'll completely disappear. I'll never forget you, your body and your memory will become mine, you'll be always in my memory," he said softly, " Isn't it great? " he tried to be persuasive, "Shindou-pro will get stronger! And when I reach the Hand…"

" I'm sick of hearing this!" Hikaru blew out. Enough is enough! " The Hand of God! The Hand of God! I know you want it! So do I! But do I try to consume you? Do I try to delete you? No! Why can't we reach it together?"

" Are you sure?"

" Eh?" Sai's sudden question surprised him.

" Are you sure you want to achieve it too?" the man in his early twenties simplified.

" Of course, I'm!" Hikaru stood for his thought.

" Really?"

" What do you mean? What the hell do you want to say?" the very angry boy was definitely very angry.

"Do you know how fast I beat?"

" Huh?" the unrelated unforeseen surprising question shaken him again. What it has to do with The Hand of God? Are we still talking about it?

" Do you know how many times I beat?" Sai asked in solemn voice, " I beat 72 times per minute, 100,000 times a day, 42 million times a year," he lectured.

" Sai?"

" I pump 5.6 liters of blood circulating through your body, days and nights, no resting," he continued, " I…keep us alive,"

" Sai..you scare me,"

" Every part of your body, every inch of your small body is full of my blood," he narrated self-importantly, " My memory, my soul, my thirst to reach the Hand of God…"

" Shut up! Shut up!" I don't wanna hear this anymore! Hikaru shouted like crazy as darkness rose up to his slim waist.

" How can you be so sure that you yourself want to reach it?" Sai provoked, " How can you be so sure that your soul and your thought aren't overwhelmed by mine? that you thought is still yours? that you still remain yourself? You think that you want to have the Hand of God, in fact, it's me who make you think like that," he pressured the frightened boy.

" Shut up! Shut up!" the blond yelled wildly, " I play Go by myself for myself! I want to attain The Hand of God for myself! I do it all by my will!"

" Are you sure? How can you?" the sly Sai pressed on, " The longer we stay together, the more we fuse together. Without your notice, you're not yourself anymore, you're becoming me," he declared, " Don't you notice that your style is getting more and more similar to mine everyday?"

" Of course, I do!" Hikaru countered back sharply, " You teach me the game after all! Of course, our styles are similar! So what? My Go is mine as same as your Go is yours!"

"…You're right," To his surprise, his evil teacher agreed with him, " If your Go is mine, you wouldn't lose to Touya Akira,"

" You!" Darkness went up rapidly to his chest now, " That's because we're different! We're not the same! I'm still be me! And I will beat him one day soon!"

" That's the point, Hikaru!" the master of Net-Go exclaimed in delight, at last the boy got it right, " Because we're in different level, you'll never have The Hand of God but I'll, I can,"

" Let go of me! Damn it!" Fighting against dreadful darkness that consuming him, Hikaru struggled with all his strength.

Sai smiled soullessly, " Don't worry, Hikaru, We'll have it together," he assured the boy, " I'll reach it for us, now, Sleep, sleep and don't ever wake up,"

As freezing darkness climbed up to his neck now, Hikaru looked up towards the sky above trying to slow it down, " You'll never find it!"

" ?"

" You'll never find the Hand of God!" Panting heavily, he declared piercingly, " The path to the Hand of God will never open to those who have blood on their hands!"

" !"

" Go is noble, you're about to dishonor it by killing my alive!"

" !" Falling down on his knees, suddenly Sai felt cold…very cold.

" It doesn't have to be this way ! Damn it! Sai! It's me!" Hikaru cried, " It's me! Hikaru!" he tried to remind his friend whom he was about to kill, " Don't to this! Sa…Arrzzzzz" Shindou Hikaru was completely gnawed by the darkness, Sai's selfishness.

A/N : oh! NO! Hikaru has been eating alive! I know, I know, I didn't talk much about Sai's past, did I? Well, maybe I focus on their relationship too much; how Sai became Hikaru's heart, how they lived...kind like that.

Ok, some of you may think " What the hell is going on?" So, here is the explanation for those who don't understand.

As Sai said, there's no room for 2 souls in one body, the longer they live together, the more their souls mix...fuse...together into one. If Sai didn't do something, one day he would fade away'coz Hikaru's soul is stronger than his, he is the owner of the body after all. Sai's afraid that one day his soul will be consumed by Hikaru's so he decided to take the 1st action first.

d.a.r.s.h : "turn back time? or the sequel" Well, at least Hikaru decided to sleep by himself in TBT and Alone in the dark.

Coiling death : As you can see, Sai didn't only want to trap our poor Hikaru in subconsious world, he wanted to Delete him.
