Two

(A/N: Ah thank you for pointing out my mistakes. To note to my readers, I haven't exactly seen the Hikaru No Go anime series! I'm stuck with the badly English translated version of the manga anddid some research online...and there's not much information. Anyway, alot of people are saying this is an AU...o.o' There's actually a couple things that bind this fanfiction up so it continues with the story. Just forgive my silly mistakes, correct me if you want to. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy! Here's chapter two!)

Akira led Hikaru down through the neighborhood. It was a richer part of town with huge three level houses, fountains, expensive cars parked in the driveway and more. Hikaru was in awe of the place, but wasn't surprised that Akira Touya lived in the rich neighborhood.

Akira groaned as people were crowded around his house. He pulled away from Hikaru who was shocked.

"I would hate to be you right now," he said.

Akira sadly smiled.

"You can go on home now Shindo." He said.

Hikaru shook his head.

"No way am I leaving you here with a bunch of people surrounding the house," he said.

They both bravely walked up and through the crowds, reporters by the handful surrounded Akira and some even surrounded Hikaru. The police were there to break up the huge crowds and lead Akira and Hikaru up to the door where they could get in. There were documents for a funeral on the kitchen counter, and Akira decided to fill them out so he wouldn't have to do it later.

His hand trembled as he wrote, and his eyes were tearing up again. Hikaru looked at Akira for a long while as he wrote.

"Do you want me to write for you?" he asked.

Akira shook his head as tears rolled down his face.

"Your handwriting is terrible Shindo, even if I cry, my handwriting is still better than yours," he replied.

Hikaru smiled sadly.

"Alright, but if you can't write anymore then tell me," he said.

Akira wiped his tears away and began to write again. He finished writing up all the information. Hikaru looked at him.

"Would you like to go to sleep Touya? It might help you," suggested Hikaru.

Akira shook his head.

"I-I can't exactly sleep," he replied.

"I wouldn't blame you, I would suggest eating but we just ate ramen," said Hikaru.

"Shindo you can leave now," said Akira.

"I'm not going to do that, no matter how much you push me away Akira Touya, I'm always going to come back. You need someone by you and don't try to deny it. Plus even for me, there's no way in hell I'm leaving you alone in this house," said Hikaru.

Akira glared at him.

"I don't need your pity," he said coldly.

"I'm not pitying you, you're my friend, and friends help each other when stuff like this happens," snapped Hikaru.

Akira looked shocked for a second. Shindo thought of them as friends? Akira had always found Shindo to be his rival, is opponent to beat, but he had never considered them to be friends.

"What? Did you only think of me as a rival?" asked Hikaru.

Akira shook his head no.

"I-I just didn't know if you felt the same way," he lied.

"Well I did," said Hikaru.

"Shindo, you better get home before it gets dark, I mean it, I'll be fine," said Akira.

Hikaru smirked.

"Either you're coming home with me, or we're both staying here."

Akira growled in frustration.

"Your mother is going to have your head," he said.

Hikaru chuckled.

"She'll deal with it and understand," he said.

"Fine, then may we stay over at your place Shindo?" asked Akira.

Hikaru smiled, "Sure, if you have a phone I'll tell her in advance."

Akira pointed over to where the silver portable phone lay on the living room table.

"I won't be too much trouble?" he asked.

Hikaru rolled those golden eyes of his.

"Of course not."

Hikaru quickly dialed his house number.

"Kaa-San? Yes, so you heard…? Maybe he spend the night...? I asked him…yeah prepare some food and a bath for him…. That is if you can…I can do it if you need me to."

"Tell her not to go to so much trouble," whispered Akira.

Hikaru looked at him as if he were to say 'Shut up and sit down'. Akira obeyed the order sitting down next to Hikaru on the black leather sofa.

"Alright, Ja!" said Hikaru hanging up the phone.

Akira stared at him for a couple seconds and Hikaru smiled softly at the boy.

"Pack some clothes," ordered Hikaru.

Akira nodded running upstairs to his room. Hikaru followed…Akira's room consisted of a laptop on his desk, a bed, a Go Board, books on shelves, and a couple trophies from where he had won games of Go in various tournament when he was younger.

Akira would be surprised to figure out that Hikaru's room consisted of a bed, a Go Board, a new computer, some books that were mostly manga not to mention a game console that had various videogames surrounded messily around it.

"Ano, Shindo, do you want me to bring anything particular?" asked Akira.

Hikaru glanced at him.

"Bring anything extra if you like, everything is at my house," he replied.

Akira had finished packing and soon headed for the Shindo residence.
