Blahblahblah : character's thought

Chapter 14: A threat? A deal?

" What?"The GSG employees cried out in shock.

" I said No," Hikaru repeated seriously.

" What? What did you just say?" Nabeshima yelled angrily, " Do you have any idea what you're saying?"

" Yes, I know what it means," the two-tone haired ghost confirmed determinedly. Hell yeah, I do know.

" Are you trying to kill yourself?" the older man shouted furiously, " Get back into your body NOW!"

" This is not funny at all, Hikaru-chan," Yuzuko spoke solemnly, " You only have 40 minutes left, if you don't return into your body now, you'll die," she explained clearly.

" 40 minutes, huh?" the young boy gently scratched his chin thoughtfully, " That's plenty enough,"

" Enough for what? What are you planning to do, Hikaru-chan," She questioned with deep concern.

" Nabeshima-san," Approaching the black-haired guy, Hikaru faced his boss, " Please, take me to Sai,"

" What?" Both GSG agents exclaimed.

" Please, take me to wherever he is," the Go lover boy said calmly, " I want to see him,"

" I can't," he steadily stared at his junior, " I won't,"

" You did promise me to take me to him when the time comes," Hikaru reminded him.

" But your time hasn't come yet!" Nabeshima strongly protested.

" Well, my soul isn't in my body. Today is the perfect day!" the blond retorted, " If today isn't the day, then when will it be?" I don't want to wait anymore! This is the only chance, I have!

" That doesn't count!" theboss shouted back, " You're still alive!"

" Not for long," Hikaru said carelessly.

" You!"

" I won't return into my body, unless I meet Sai," he declared boldly.

Freezing in shock, Nabeshima uttered silently in horror, "You're insane, you're completely insane, You wouldn't dare…"

" Watch me," the boy challenged, " The clock is ticking, Boss," I'm on the edge of life and death now. I've nothing to lose.

" Is that a threat?"

" According to my dictionary, it's called ' A deal',"

" Stop it! Both of you!" Yuzuko couldn't take it anymore, She like them both, it hurt to see someone she loved fighting against each other." Hikaru-chan, Do you know why Sai didn't say a word to you before he disappeared? Well, it's because he couldn't, he suddenly saw the light so he just…left,"

So he did see the light then. That's great! He deserved it more than anyone.

Yuzuko continued talking at high speed, " I don't know what his wish was but whatever it was, it finally came true, that's why he saw the light,"

" And that's exactly why you can't meet him," Nabeshima added, " Even if you two actually meet then what? What will happen to Sai after you leave him to return to your world? What if he becomes depressed or something worse?"

" Nabeshima-san is right, Hikaru-chan," the short girl took his side, " Sai's completed wish will turn into an uncompleted one. The balance of the universe will collapse, only God knows what will happen next. Now be a good boy and get inside your body as Nabeshima-san told you," she begged.

…………

…………

" …..No," Not changing his mind, Hikaru still insisted.

" What? What's wrong with you?" Nabeshima exploded wildly, " Which part that you don't understand? He belongs there, you belong here. He can't meet you, you can't meet him so you have no choice but return into your body and move on. End the story!" God! He's so stupid..and stubborn too!

" You don't have to let us meet each other then!" the recently ghost bargained, " I only want to see his face, to make sure that he's fine,"

" But.. how?"

" I'll hide behind the tree, behind the bush, I'll disguise myself," he spoke rapidly, " Or I'll be at somewhere far far away watching him through a telescope!"

" ………."

" Please!"

"………."

" Nabeshima-san!" he pleaded, " Yuzuko-chan!"

I can't believe I'm doing this." …You'll do whatever it takes, right?" the long-haired man asked quietly yet gravely.

" Nabeshima-san!" Yuzuko cried, " Are you…" Are you sure?

" Yes," With his intense eyes that he preserved for a game against his greatest rival only, Hikaru nodded. I'll do anything, if it means I can see his face once again…

" Promise me, promise me to do exactly what I tell you," the black-haired boss demanded. If Chief knows about this…I don't wanna think about it.

" Yes, I promise," Looking straight into the other man's eyes, Hikaru gave him his words, " I'll do anything as you tell me to,"

"…………" Sighing in defeat, Nabeshima started his bike engine again.

On the way to Heaven, Milky Way

The three of them got on the Harley again, this time they proceeded to Polaris, where the ghosts lived peacefully ever after, where human called " Heaven".

As they flied higher…higher…and higher, everything got smaller…smaller…and smaller , everything; houses, cities, the island, oceans and the world.

Glittering brightly in the infinite darkness, covered by white illuminating sand into long distance, the Milky Way looked so brilliant. Hikaru wondered where this never-ending road would lead him to, he felt as if he was a child who tried to reach the end of the rainbow.

" Beautiful isn't it?" Nabeshima spoke proudly, " Riding the clients along this road is my favorite time, Ah…Here we are," he uttered.

Suddenly, an unexpected luminous light shined, it was so bright…too bright. Hikaru had to turn away and cover his close eyes with his hand. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in the middle of a very busy noisy business area, along with both of his supervisors.

Blinking a few times in surprise, he looked around and scanned the buildings around him. Curry house, Garage, Hair Salon, Mobile phone shop, Game center, and GSG Prep School? " What the…" He frowned. This is heaven? Isn't it supposed to be the place where the spirits rest in peace? This place is not difference from down there! The worst thing is they don't have any ramen house here!

Knowing what the boy might think, the older guy spoke out, " These facilities are for us, Ghosts with job,"

" Ghosts with job?" Hikaru raised his questioning eyebrows, " Then, on the other way round, there must be ghosts without job," he noted. Does it mean that unemployed ghosts are banished to a poor neighborhood? Damn it! What about Sai? Go is the only thing that silly ghost knows! He can't survive in a business world like this! Or maybe he runs a Go school?

" Nice job! Hikaru-chan," Nabeshima complimented, " You see, only those who see the light and get here by themselves can be the agents,"

" After they pass the exam, of course," Smiling proudly, Yuzuko added. She and her partner also passed the exam with high scores…very high.

" Ah, that's what the Prep school is for, isn't it?" the blond guessed. Not only they have to work, they have to go to the Prep school too? Man, this is Hell!

" Yes, that's correct," the girl answered cheerfully, " It's where we learn how to use magic,"

Now it sounds like Harry Potter. Hikaru laughed inaudibly.

" The normal ghost live in the other area," his leader reported, " Here, we are," he stopped walking. Stretching out his arm, he announced virtuously, " Lady and gentleman, Welcome to the GSG Headquarters," he stepped aside so that the bleached bangs boy could see the command center.

Titling his head up, Hikaru looked up to the building in front of him. It was a typical building, just a simple tall white building. This is it? The GSG Headquarters? The control center of GSG, the one and only organization that is responsible for everything concerning the dead? This is it? But it's so... plain.

Not wanting to be noticed, they hurriedly went inside the building, they eventually manage to sneak into a changing room.

In a locker room,

" Here, wear this suit," Nabeshima handed Hikaru his pink bunny mascot costume.

" What?"

" Instead of hiding behind the tree, you can get close to him without exposing you identity, if you wear this," he gave the bleached bangs boy a fishy smirk, " Isn't that great?"

" Yes, but," A bunny? Me? Hikaru looked at the costume in disgust. A pink bunny? A Shocking-pink bunny!

" You'll do anything, you said it yourself, remember?" Nabeshima quoted him, " Pay back time," he grinned satisfactorily.

Sai, I'll do this for your sake! " Fine!" the displeased boy accepted the pink costume from his boss before he reluctantly changed his clothes.

After he finished, Nabeshima asked him, " Are you ready?"

God! It's so hot! I can't breathe, I can't move either! If I die, it's because of this stupid bunny suit! Though he hated all those discomforts, Hikaru replied, " Yes, Ouch!" he cried as the black-haired man hit his head, " What's that for? It hurts!"

" From now on, don't talk, don't speak, don't say a word," Nabeshima ordered, he broke the rule and risked his career for this boy, if anyone found out…. " Not even a single word, Do you understand?"

" Y…," Hikaru cut off himself and nodded instead.

" Good!" the older man said.

Out of no where, a door simply appeared by his side, he opened it, " You've 15 minutes, only 15 minutes, then you have to come back," he commanded sharply," Hurry up, now, Go," he pushed the bunny to the door.

Sai…Here I come. Hikaru said in his thought before he walked through that door to the unknown world, the world of the dead.
