It was raining cats and dogs. The sky became darker by every minute but Hikaru, Akira, Isumi, Waya and Sai didn't notice it. They were still in their deep thoughts. Waya and Sai were playing Igo happily until Waya noticed something quite similar about Sai's skill. It feels like playing with the internet Sai that were quite popular at that time. It was summer and he even suspected that the Go player was a student but unfortunately, before he can investigate further more, the guy just disappear from the internet world and never came back. Did this beautiful guy copied Sai's technique? He was not sure. He has to play with him for quite a long time to be sure. But, Waya didn't last long enough to know Sai's skill. He was defeated right after he suspected Sai was the internet Sai.

"Err…Fujiwara-san. I would like to ask you something." Waya spoke out when Sai happily clear the board and asked for another game.

"Sure!" Sai didn't notice Waya's face was full of suspicion.

"Did you play Go for a very long time already?"

"Yeah…quite a long time already. I bet you were still in the cradle when I mastered the most powerful skill." Sai seems to be remembering those were the days where he was so glamorous, people respects him, people idolize him. Hah…those were the days. He smiled.

"So, all these skills…where did you learn from?" Waya asked again.

"Oh…this I cannot tell you. Because I have promised my master that I shall not speak out his name for he needs peace."

"Wow…" Waya looked at the full grown man that now looks just like a Kamisama. Man, I think this guy is a bit insane. Now wonder he can tolerate the stupid Hikaru. Waya thought.

"Okay! Next round! Come! I want the black first!" Sai's excited voice pulled back Waya's drifted away thought and made him to concentrate on the game again.

On the other hand…

"Akira, what is this? I don't understand. Can you explain?" Hikaru handed out one of his mathematic question and asked for Akira's advice.

"Wait…this I have seen it before. Where have I seen it? I can't remember. But this question is a bit tricky. You have to be very careful of it."

"Ok. Now can you tell me how to solve this question?" Hikaru asked again.

"I have to think first! You think that I am some kind of genius? I still have other question to solve also you know!" Akira shouted. Looks like he is under a bigger stress than Hikaru. So, Hikaru went back to his study table and fight with the other subject first.

As well as Isumi, he seems to forget what he is supposed to do in Hikaru's house. Looks like he is deep in the world of science and won't come back for a while. This is a good thing for him, at least.

They stayed at Hikaru's house until it was dinner time and Mrs. Shindou treated them with a feast. Really, it was a feast. With roasted golden chicken, salmon fish, smoked salmon sushi, and with all kinds of food. The three of the Go Pro had their most unforgettable dinner at there and bid farewell to Hikaru after the dinner. While having dinner, they asked many question about Sai and his skill on Igo. (Thanks to Waya's big mouth) But no one notice that Hikaru and Sai were sweating away when they ask question about Igo skill to Sai. Luckily, the three of them were too tired to notice anything and today past quietly. Well, Waya still haven't found out that Sai was the internet Sai. Too bad for him. He nearly got the truth.

Day past by and Hikaru was trying his best to get all the facts into his head. Sai will just sit beside him and tutor him sometime but not every time. Sai will sometimes leaves the room and go downto have some chats with those young girls that are flirting to him. Sai didn't ignore them because the girls always bring expensive desserts and he love desserts! This is the food that Sai fell in love to when he firstly become a normal human again.

Today is the day. Hikaru woke up immediately after the alarm clock has ringed. He sighed. 'If only Sai is still a ghost. Then he can cheat for me.' Hikaru thought. But, the fact that Sai is a human already was put into his face directly. He saw Sai moving in the kitchen, cooking breakfast for him. Sweat…He then was force to go to school by Sai. He sighed again. But still went to school earlier than usual. He arrived at school, bumped into the math teacher and got a warning and lecture from him. But he was not in the mood, he just want to get it over with. The bell rang, every student went back to their seat and the exam starts!

For a week, Hikaru was living like a moving corpse. He was trying hard not to fall a sleep just right after he finish answering the questions. Everyday, he was forced to have all those sups that his mother believes it can help him during the exams. After dinner, Sai will bug him for a game of Go. He is going crazy. HE IS GOING TO HAVE NERVOUS BREAKDOWN!

A week later…

Finally! He is free! Hikaru was having a big smile on his face and he was walking with his nose on top of his head. He can now relax. He went home right after school and drag Sai to the nearest Go saloon to play Igo. He is desperate. He need GO! At first, he was playing with Sai and many people were crowding at there, watching their game. After a few games with Sai, people start to drag them away and want to play with them. Not long after that, Hikaru and Sai's name were known by every guest that got into the Go saloon. They were having fun, unnoticed that it was dark outside. Suddenly, the Go salon door was pushed open and a tall man with glasses went in. nobody noticed him; everyone was attracted to Sai and Hikaru's game. (The two of them got together again after a few people lost to them. Everyone thinks that watching then play is better then losing to them.) The man approached to the table where the game was played. He looked at the game and the two players. His glasses reflected the light and his emotion cannot be read. He then smiled. An evil smile was carved on his face. He waited until the game was over. Hikaru lost again. But the game was interesting. Hikaru tried to surround Sai's white stone, but every time, Sai can easily cut off Hikaru's black stone and have surround Hikaru's black stone instead. For them, it was an interesting game. They left the table with a big smile on their face and were discussing the game. After the crowd have went off, Hikaru and Sai only then notice that it was late, so they hurriedly clear the board and rush to the door. But before their hands can get onto the doorknob, they were stopped by a long hand. Hikaru irritated looked up because his mother is going to skinned him if he is late. Mrs. Shindou was willing to let Hikaru go out is because Sai pleaded and also as a reward for his few days of hard work. If his mother gets to know that he played Go for a whole day long, he will be living in hell for weeks! He saw the man's face and gasp. It was Mr. Ogata! That pervert! Ok, not pervert, at least he helped him to become an insei. He was shocked to see this 'high' class man to appear at this kind of Go salon. He had always imagine that Mr. Ogata will play Go in a high-class hotel and people playing violin beside him.

"Hi, Hikaru. Long time no see. How are you doing?" Ogata gave Hikaru a quite fake sincere smile and look straight into Hikaru's eyes.

"Err…I am good. Thanks you." Hikaru answered.

"Who is the guy standing behind you? His go skills are quite impressive. May I know who he is?" Ogata cut straight forward for the question that was pondering in his head right after he saw Sai play.

"He is Fujiwara-san" Hikaru refused to tell Ogata Sai's name. He is afraid that Ogata will make big news about the name that was same as the internet Sai.

"Nice to meet you." Sai gave Ogata a big smile and politely shake Ogata's hand.

"Nice to meet you too."

"Excuse me, Ogata-san. We were in a hurry, if you don't mind, I would like to go home now." Hikaru cut in after Ogata shake Sai's hand. Ogata is a dangerous person. He will notice the slightest thing that is weird. It is dangerous for Sai to face Ogata. Sai will blurt out everything accidentally.

"I have never seen you before. Your Igo skill doesn't seem to be an amateur. Where are you from?" Ogata ignored Hikaru and asked Sai.

"I came from…em!" Sai's mouth was covered by Hikaru's hand. And then, Hikaru pushed Ogata away and went off like a wind.

Ogata was quite shocked by the pushed. Before he can stand straight; the two of them are already not in sight already. He was quite annoyed but what can he do? He will go to the Igo institution tomorrow and try to find this long hair guy's information. He believe that the Igo institution can give him all the information that he want.

"Why do you drag me away?" Sai asked Hikaru angrily.

"Because that guy is dangerous!" Hikaru shouted.

"He is not that BAD. He is just sensitive. He won't know anything about me!"

"Believe me, that guy is very dangerous. He will know everything about you after having a few conversations with you."

"Are kidding me Shindou Hikaru? He is not some kamisama ok? Even if he knows, what can he do? Sue me?" Sai was not very worry about Ogata. And only now, Hikaru noticed something very important that he have forgotten. Sai don't have an I/C! Oh my god! What is he going to do? He cannot fake an I/C, he will get caught! What is he supposed to do now? Hikaru's face was full with emotions and deep into his thought. Sai saw Hikaru's weird expression and asked him: "What are you thinking Hikaru?"

"Do you know what is an I/C?" Hikaru asked.

"Is it…ice-cream?" Sai answered with a happy face.

"NO! It's a certification that certifies that you are a citizen of Japan. If you don't have an I/C, police can catch you and throw into the jail and you will have free food at there for the rest of your life."

"That serious?" Sai's face was plain white. He doesn't want to be ended up in jail! There will be no Igo for him! Further more, he went to the dungeon once, during the Heian era. It was creepy and smells are coming through every jail. There were dead people left at there and was not buried. He went there because one of the prisoners asked to have an Igo game before he was sentence to death. Sai was in the castle that day and was drag into there by force. They just want to hang that guy as soon as possible. So, he had a game with the convict. And after two days, the prisoner tried to break out but ended up chop into pieces. Gross. Sai gave a cold shivered and shake his head to try to let the memory shake off.

"Come. Let's get back home. After having dinner, we will try to solve this problem." Hikaru walk a few pace faster and Sai nodded following Hikaru's footstep. He is worry too. He doesn't want to be chopped into pieces.
