"Damn you Seiji, can you just leave me alone!" Sai yelled, pouring the last gulp of beer in his throat. Seiji eyed the bar, with noisy music, freaky people, and most of all, the Go prodigy who was sitting on the bar desk. Ignoring Sai's glare and the way too loud music, he pulled Sai by his white tee and yanked him off into the male's toilet. He threw Sai forcefully on the ground near the basin. Seiji shook his head, not knowing why. Sai but all people… The wisest moron Seiji ever seen would actually turned to alcohol, anything but alcohol, when he felt depressed.

"Wash yourself up! Hikaru was wailing at home, wanting you to tuck him in," Seiji murmured, calmly, pushing his spectacles upwards. Sai, sprawled on the ground, laughed bitterly. Wobbly, he picked himself up. His violet orbs were glistening with tears. Sai leaned onto the basin, and turned on the tap.

Swwwisssssh…

The water flowed out of the tap. Sai rested his head on his palm, and went into a state of agony.

"I felt so ashamed of myself," Sai murmured, his voice cracking, "I don't want Hikaru to grow up without a mother… It hurts, when I saw the neighbors' kids making a mockery out of Chibi-chan." Sai was on the verge of tears. With every word Sai said, it just made Seiji angrier. Seiji grabbed Sai by the collar and threw him backwards, causing Sai to hit his back on the cold wall.

"Excuses! I don't care your whatever shit saying that Hikaru has no mother crap! Who do you think Hikaru was happy with? Who do YOU think he was happy with?" Seiji growled, not letting go the collar of Sai's tee. The usual calm and cool Seiji seemed to lost it existence at that moment, while leashing out all his anger onto Sai.

"I don't even want to hear your bullshit! Hikaru was having a hard time sleeping! That poor child told me that he did not see you at home from morning till night and it was a good thing that he dialed up my number and told me all about it!" Seiji spoke, fiercely. His eyes narrowed sharply. He loosened his grip and let go of Sai's tee.

"Hikaru was a sensible kid, but what about you? Knowing only how to huddle in a bar when you are hurt, do you think that you did a good job on being a father? I really pity Hikaru for having such a father like you!" Seiji lectured. Sai's orbs darkened almost instantly as he raised his hands and gave Seiji a tight slap on the cheek. Seiji's eyes widened in shock and confusion and Sai glared at him coldly and dangerously.

"You are my friend, aren't you? I think you are my friend, but I would never let you see this side of me," Sai murmured, like a predator walking cautiously to its prey, ready to pound. This was not the first time, Seiji remembered, there was once when he saw the same thing… When he saw Sai at the locker's basement in the high school. However, that time, the target was not him, it was a bully.

Sai just stood there, coolly and folded his arms. It was only then, Seiji's phone rang. Semi-stoning, Seiji picked up his phone. It was from Kyoko.

"Ha… Hello?" his words slurred. Kyoko on the other line, was blabbering hysterically. Seiji held the phone real tight when he heard the news that Hikaru was running a high fever. That simple news brought up Sai's attention. Frenetically, Sai grabbed Seiji's cell phone.

"Kyoko-chan, this is Sai. What happened?" Sai questioned, with beads of cold sweat running down his forehead. Nothing should happen to Hikaru, absolutely nothing! Sai nodded, and said some 'yes' under his breath. When he hanged up the phone, he looked at Seiji and replied.

"I will settle this business with you later," he said softly, with no hint of anger. Seiji smiled, knowing that Sai was not such a narrow-minded person after all. Sai smiled softly, apologetically and rushed out.

Please Chibi-chan… Please… Let everything be okay…
