Chapter 10 : A date?

5 days passed quickly like a miracle. Both Hikaru and Akira were busy attending their games, none of them dropped by Akira's Go Salon, Hikaru didn't call Akira, Akira didn't phone Hikaru.

To the 1-Dan's surprise, he did receive a phone call on friday night but it wasn't Touya Akira, his rival, it was his double, Ichinomiya Haku.

" Hey! Haku," Greeted merrily Hikaru.

" Hello, sorry for calling you this late," Haku apologized.

" Oh, that's fine," the blond laughed amiably, " So, what's up?"

" Do you know Haze Kindergarten School?"

" Of course," he surely knew, " I studied there!"

" There's a playground near the school, do you still remember it?"

" Yap," Smiling, he thought back to those old days that he and Akari had spent together, " Akari and I used to play there every evenings," Of course, I do remember.

" Great, Meet me there tomorrow at 9 p.m., Okay?" Haku spoke rapidly, " I'm sorry, I'm in the middle of something, I've to go now, Bye, see you tomorrow, good night,"

" Hey! Wait a sec…"

/Thru…thru/

" Arrz, he hangs up," Hikaru muttered, " I hope it's not for another assignment,"


Saturday night,

Hikaru went to the said playground at the appointed time. When he reached there, Haku had been waiting for him, he was talking to someone but it wasn't his boss, Nabeshima.

This guy was a bit younger than the silly bunny guy, he couldn't be older than 25 years old. He had short light-brown hair and dark-brown eyes, he was in baggy jeans and a light-blue long-sleeved shirt.

" Haku," Approaching his partner, he called.

" Ah! You're here at last," the other boy exclaimed with delight, " Hikaru, this is Tsutsumi-san," he introduced, " Tsutsumi-san, this is my partner, Hikaru,"

" Shindou Hikaru, Nice to meet you," Hikaru bowed.

" Tsutsumi Madoka, Nice to meet you," Tsutsumi bowed in return.

" Nabeshima-san always talks about you," the smiling Go pro spoke welcomingly, " You're his 1st part-time agent, aren't you? Tsutsumi-san,"

" Aaa, yes," Tsutsumi smiled back, " You can call me Ent-chan if you want, it's my nickname,"

" Okay, Ent-chan," Looking around, Hikaru scanned for his supervisor but the noisy bunny wasn't around, " By the way, where's the boss?"

" He has to go somewhere else," Haku informed, " But he leaves the clients here,"

" Clients?" the good-humored agent stressed.

" Yes, clients," the future-priest confirmed, " They're twins, Shiratori Ryoma-kun and his sister, Shiratori Ryoko-chan," He notified his partner. Beside him, there were a boy and a girl, both shared the same green eyes and orange hair.

" So, it's true, isn't it?" Ent-chan asked, " You can't see them,"

Shrugging indifferently, Hikaru accepted his flaw, " Speaking of it, I heard that you're working with a girl,"

" Yes, Akuma-san can't make it here today, she has to prepare for the entrance exam," the older man explained.

" I see,"

" Ryoma-kun and Ryoko-chan want to build a sandcastle," Haku stated the client's wish, " They want to build it together, that's why Tsutsumi-san come to join us today,"

" Ah-huh, I see,"

" Okay, let's get started," Ent-chan clapped his hand eagerly.

After the boy had possessed Ent-chan while the girl had possessed Hikaru, they began to build the sandcastle right away.

Having nothing to do, Haku took a seat on a park bench near the sandbox. Luckily, nobody saw them now, it was quite a strange picture.

A grown-up man in his early twenties and a 15-year-old boy were playing in the sandbox in the middle of the night, laughing, giggling like little kids. Next to them, there was another teenage boy sitting on a long wooden bench guarding them.


20 minutes later, the castle was finished. Nabeshima and Yuzuko appeared out of no where and took the twins away. Ent-chan excused himself and left the young agents alone.

" Ne, Hikaru," Haku spoke up while they were walking back home.

" Hmm?"

" What're you doing tomorrow?"

" Tomorrow?"

" Yes, tomorrow, are you busy?"

" Not really, why?"

" Well, you see, actually I've another assignment," he confessed, " My assignment, not ours,"

That was right, sometimes Haku worked alone. He only worked with Hikaru when the ghost wished to use the body, or else, he could do it by himself. He remembered sneaking into a house just to steal the client's diary to burn it. He even sent a love letter on behalf of the dead.

" Ah-huh, and?" Why are you telling me this?

" Well, I've to take an old gentleman to some kind of Japanese Chess Festival,"

" Japanese Chess? You mean, Shougi?" Shougi?

" Yes! Shougi," Yes, that what it called! Shougi…

" Ah-huh, and?" What are you trying to say? Just spill it out! Stop beating around the bush! God, he's just like Touya. Both of them have communication problems. Is it that hard to say what you want to say?

" You see, I've never attended to this kind of…event," Haku stammered, " As a Go pro, surely you get used to it, I mean…if you don't mind…I err…I'm just wondering…would you…err…," he hesitated to ask since he didn't what to bother his friend.

The past 5 days had been a total chaos to Hikaru; one game in the morning, another one in the afternoon. That was the reason why he decided to rest at home today and go to Akira's Go salon tomorrow to clear thing up but….

" I'll go with you,"

" Really?"

" Yeah," It was undeniable that Shindou Hikaru was indeed a kind boy, he knew Haku didn't want to be out of place, neither did he, "When? Where?"

" Konimiya Hotel at 10 a.m.,"

" Konimiya Hotel at 10 a.m., Very well," Arriving in his neighborhood, Hikaru said to the timid boy, " My home is this way,"

" Oh, okay then,"

" Bye, 'Night," he waved Haku goodbye, " See ya,"

" See you tomorrow," Haku waved back, " Goodnight,"
