Chapter 11 : An expected boy & an unexpected man

Next day, at Konimiya Hotel, at noon

" See? Told you that I'm gonna win," An old ghost boasted, " By the way, thank you, boy, now I can finally rest in peace," he thanked Haku for letting him play the game.

" It's my duty, Yamato-san," Haku spoke humbly, " Ne, Hikaru, Thank you for coming today, I hope that I didn't ruin your weeken…,"

" Stop it, Haku," Hikaru cut off, " It's the 7th time you say it, you didn't force me to come here, therefore, you don't have to apologize," If you say it one more time, I swear, I'm gonna break your neck!

" I know but still…"

" Listen, I'm not that considerate, If I don't wanna come, I won't, even it's for your sake," he cut in again, " But here I am, it means, I do want to come, so Stop apologizing me,"

" Well, I…"

" Dou….Shindou….ou," Someone called the blond.

" Eh?"

Couple seconds ago,

" Isn't that Shindou?" A red-haired young man uttered, " Hey, Shindou…u," he called loudly, " Shindou…ou,"

" Shindou's here?" A man in a white suite turned around once he heard that known name.

" Kaga? Hey, What's up, man?" Giving the older boy five, Hikaru greeted happily.

" Yo! Man, It's been a long long time," The red-haired boy smiled back pleasantly.

" Yeah, didn't hear a word from you,"

" I'm supposed to be the one who say that!" Ruffling Hikaru's hair, Kaga hit the blond's head, " I study at Haze High but you've never shown up!"

" Really? Haze High? Never known it before,"

" It's because you're busy playing Go and forget all of us," Glaring threateningly at Haku, the Shougi boy asked intensely, " Isn't that right? Touya Akira," Kaga's red eyes frightened enough to make Haku took a few steps backward hiding behind Hikaru's back.

" Ka..Kaga, this is my friend, Haku," the blithe Go pro introduced uncomfortably, " Haku, this is my sempai from Haze Junior High, Kaga,"

" Ichi..Ichinomiya Haku," Haku awkwardly addressed himself, the older boy did scare him.

" What? You mean you're not Touya Akira?" Eyes wide opened in surprise attack, Kaga exclaimed.

" No, sir,"

" Oh, sorry then, I thought you were that arrogant jerk…well, I'm Kaga, Kaga Tetsuo,"

" Actually, I secretly hope to meet you here," Interrupting the embarrassed scene, Hikaru made a clean breast.

" Ha! But I've never expected to see you here at the Shougi Festival! Wait… I know it!" the Sempai said excitedly, " You quit playing Go now, don't you? See? Told you that game is boring! Shougi is much better!"

" Totally agreed!" Yamato raised up his hand.

" First of all, I don't and I won't quit playing Go!" the Go lover boy replied sharply, " Second, Go is not boring!"

" Ga…."

" Hmm?'

" Kaga….aaa,"

" Arrz, it's my friend," Kaga ruffled his hair, " Gotta go now,"

" Okay, bye then," Hikaru waved his sempai a goodbye, " See you,"

"Visit the school sometimes," The Shougi maniac said before he ran toward his friend, " Byeeee," Then he disappeared into the crowds.

" I'm hungry," Hikaru told his partner, " Let's find something to eat,"

" Well, well, look who we have here," A mysterious man in a white suit sneaked up on him from behind.

" O..Ogata-Sensei!" With a terrified look on his face, the blond cried out.

" What are you frightened of? I'm not a bloody ghost," Ogata spoke chilly, " Hello, Akira, I thought that you would be at the salon today,"

" Err…Ano..Ogata-Sensei, this is my friend, Haku," Okay, I officially get bored with this line. " Haku, this is Ogata-Sensei, he's also a Go pro…he holds 2 titles,"

" It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," Haku bowed respectfully, " Ichinomiya Haku,"

"………So, you must be the one they're talking about," the Jyudan observed another Touya Akira watchfully from head to toe, " Umm,"

" So, you're interested in Shougi too? Ogata-Sensei," Hikaru broke the awkward silence.

" I happen to have many friends in the Shougi world," Ogata said boastfully, " What about you? Shindou, You're changing from a Go player to a Shougi player now? Is he your Shougi rival or something?"

" No, Sensei, I won't quit Go, not in this life time," the poor 1-Dan denied, " I only come here to keep him company,"

" Jesus Christ! This guy is so scary!" Yamato exclaimed, " And I'm the real ghost!"

" I..We gotta go now," Hikaru excused, " Have a nice day, Ogata-Sensei, Come Haku," He bowed and practically dragged his friend away from the Gosei.

………

Gazing until the boys were out of his sight, Ogata brought out his cell phone and dialed the number that he remembered by heart, " Hello, Ichikawa-san, It's me, Ogata, Is Akira there?"

A/N : Hikaru, you're in big big trouble! Another short but meaningful chapter :)

Giftfrombelow : "I wonder if anyone'll reconize 'Karu-tan...Let me guess, Touya-kun right?" Haha,Nah, sorry, it's wrong. I wonder what is worse? Ogata meets Hikaru here or Akira?
