"Right…now let's see." Hikaru was sitting in front of a computer and he was surfing the internet. Yes, Hikaru got a new computer right after Sai disappear and he gets to go to the Hokuto Cup representing Japan. Mr. Shindou was very proud of his son. So, to comfort his son's feeling after losing, he decided to buy a computer for him. (Man, I wish that I have this kind of parent also: P)
"Where do you think that we should first surf?" Hikaru asked Sai.
"How would I know? You are the one who is familiar with the computer." Sai was a bit annoyed because after he became human again, he had asked for Hikaru's approval to play on the internet. Hikaru's reason is that he is scare that people will notice Sai's skill and then traced it to his house. He doesn't want any extra trouble. So, for the whole long time, Sai didn't even get his finger on the computer. What a lame excuse…
"Argh…it will be quite hard to do this. Hey Sai…" Hikaru suddenly turn around and looked at Sai, smiling in a very cunning way.
"What?" Sai replied and step a few forwards back.
"How about seducing one of the girls you know? As far as I know, I think among some of them can make a new I/C for you."
"No! I shall not do this! This is not good! This is against my morality!" Sai insisted.
"Ok. Then let your own morality kill you and stay in jail as long as you like. I will remember to send you some Igo magazines and a Go board so that you won't get too boring." Hikaru laid back and went on surfing to other websites.
"How could you do this to me?" Sai with the puppy eyes have come back. He looked at Hikaru with his watery purple eye and seeks for merciness.
"So, willing to seduce them?" Hikaru asked without turning around looking straight into Sai's eyes. His eyes were attached to the computer screen ad picture were flying over the screen.
"I…I…I…" Sai didn't know what to do. He just can't do this kind of unmoral things!
"Just joking! You moron! Do you think that I am that bad in doing this kind of things? Further more, if you seduce them, you will get into the jail for seducing under age girl.
"You say what?" Sai's face turned green then purple, then white. How can Hikaru do this to him!
"Look. I got an internet friend that can help me. I believe in him. He can be trust."
"Where did you get all this kind of friends?" Sai asked.
"Well, let's say that while I am teaching Igo for his grandparents, I get to know him then we became friends. Only like that." Hikaru quickly went to the chat room and meet with his friend. "I even learned some of those skills from him but making a fake I/C has become within my reach. We have to get his help." Hikaru continued.
"Oh…so now…how is it? Have he agreed?" Sai anxiously asked.
"I just came online ok? I will try to persuade him to do it for me. He will need my help." Hikaru grinned.
"Why?"
"Because he was always drag to play Igo with his grandfather until I start to play Igo with the old man. He always thinks that playing Igo is a waste of time. He would rather go online and hacking people's website."
"Then, he can refuse. Can't he? Confused Sai.
"Unfortunately, his grandfather will knock his head and take away his computer for a day if he doesn't want to play with the old man. He can't live without a computer for a day."
"No wonder he will help you. Because of you, only then he can play his computer as long as he wants to."
"Right, my master." Hikaru smiled and went on chatting with the young man at the other side of Japan.
Half an hour later…
Sai's hand was holding a bowl of chocolate ice-cream and sit right beside Hikaru.
"Are you done yet?" Sai seems to be quite boring already. Because their conversation were too fast. He cannot catch up. The words were flying up and up. And before he can finish the sentence, another sentence came up and pushed the previous one up. He then gave up and went down stair and asked for an ice-cream from Mrs. Shindou.
"Soon. I will tell you the result after this. Go to other place and play, don't bother me." Hikaru's eyes are still stick onto the computer screen and shoo away Sai. Sai only then reluctantly went downstairs and watch the black box where people are moving. According to Hikaru, it is called television. What a weird name, thought Sai.
After an hour sitting in the living room, hearing Hikaru's father roaring to the television, keep on saying "GOAL! GOAL!" and sometimes demand him to shout also, Hikaru finally appear from the stairs and called Sai to go up stairs.
In Hikaru's room, Sai sighed because of relieve. He nearly got a bad soar throat because of these shouting.
"What did you get?" Sai lied down on Hikaru's big bed and asked.
"He finally agreed. But in return, you have to go to the house and play Go with the old man." Hikaru shut down the computer and turn around.
"Why am I the one who is going?" Sai opened his closed eyes and asked.
"Because you are the one that needs his help. So, you are going there. Further more, I am still schooling. I just cannot skip class like that. Mum will know and I will be grounded again. I don't want to experience this again." Hikaru sit by his side and explain.
"Ok. What ever. If I got lost only then you know." Sai flipped over and lay flat on his chest.
"No need to worry. I will take you there and take you home." Hikaru explain.
"Ok." Sleepy…
"But on the way, we will have to take a picture of you first. We need to give him a photo to do an I/C."
"Ok." Yawn. Going to doze off any minute now.
"Now go to your room and sleep. I need some rest." Hikaru then pushed the six feet tall man off his bed with his foot and glide to his own bed. Sai was pushed down on to the floor, but he didn't mind. He just need some sleep. He then was sound asleep on Hikaru's bed room floor. Hikaru opened his eyes and looked at the sleeping pig and sighed. He then took out a blanket from his cupboard and placed it on Sai. Then he went to sleep again.

The next morning was Sunday morning. So, Hikaru and Sai woke up early in the morning and rushed out to catch the train to go to the old man's house. They didn't get to have breakfast, so they went to the nearest fast food restaurant and bought some food from there. While waiting for the train to come, they ate all the foods and went to the nearest camera shot shop and try to take a passport size photo for Sai.
In the photo shop.
"Ano…are you both ready to take the picture already?" the camera man stood at there holding a big size camera and asked the struggling Sai and Hikaru.
"NO! I am not going to take the picture!" Sai shouted and keep on pushing Hikaru away; trying to run away from the chair his is sitting on.
"You have to take it you moron!" Hikaru pushed him back on to the seat and forced him to stay at there.
"No! Why are these equipments so big? The lights are killing me!" Sai put up one hand and tried to block the light.
"Do you think that you are Dracula and you scare light? For god's sake! Even Dracula is also ok with these lights! These lights are used to make your picture to be more beautiful."
"They said that the thing that the man is holding is evil! It will suck my soul out!" Sai continued and the camera man seems to be unhappy with Sai's comment.
Hikaru rolled his eyes and said: "Are you hearing stories from the radio again?"
"So what?" Sai answered while still struggling to get out.
"It is a fake story that the elders believe! I think even now, the elders will also take picture. Not like you!" Hikaru shouted.
"I don't care!" Sai finally broke off and went straight to the door. Before he can pushed it open, Hikaru blocked his way.
"Get away." Sai gritted his teeth and demand Hikaru.
"Do you want to be in jail for the rest of your life?" Hikaru say it in a very low volume that only he and Sai can hear. Eventually, this threat have made Sai stopped struggling and went back to the seat quietly.
"Now, can we take the photo?" the camera man asked.
"Sure." After making sure that Sai is in the best condition that he wanted, he asked the camera man to start taking the photos.
The camera man lifted up the camera and pushed the button. All of a sudden, the light surrounding Sai turn brighter than before and Sai got a shock and yelled.
"Ah! Why the lights suddenly become so bright? Is it that the death god is going to take me away again?" Sai hide behind Hikaru's back and ask Hikaru with his trembling voice.
"Sai, that is normal. It is fine. The light will get brighter just to make sure your picture look better." Hikaru patiently explain it again.
"But the light just now was so bright until my eyes now can see green and red colour. Is it a bad sign?" Sai worriedly asked.
"No. Just sit back and take your picture!" Hikaru pushed Sai to the seat again and asked the camera man to quickly finish this photo shooting session.
After ten minutes, Sai's photo is finally taken and they only have to wait for fifteen minutes for the photos to be out.
While waiting, Hikaru and Sai went to the station and bought the ticket and went back to the photo shop to take the picture.
In the photo shop again…
The camera man took out Sai's picture with a cheerful face. Totally different from the face that asked them to get out from his photo shop, for Sai have get into his nerves. He then took out six pictures of Sai and politely asked "Do you mind if we put your photo up to display it? Your photos are the most perfect photo that I have ever taken. Please let me have the honor to put your photo at my shop."
Sai and Hikaru looked at each other to seek for each other's opinion. Sai was totally handsome in the photo. His skin was white but not that kind of ghostly white. His face was lively taken by the photographer. His lips were as if smiling to every one that looked at him. (Although Sai was in a bad mood while taking this pictures…) His long black hair was shinning in the lights. I think Sai will be very suitable for doing hair shampoo advertisement. After a few discussions between Sai and Hikaru, they finally agreed but in a condition that these photos cannot be charge. And they wanted vouchers so that they can get discounts on every photo that they will take in this photo shop. Although the middle-age man was reluctant to give them the voucher, but he finally gave them the voucher with a very fake smile on his face.
Both Hikaru and Sai walked out the photo shop with a big smile on their face. Hikaru then asked "Where did you get the idea to have the voucher? Look at the man's face; he nearly wanted to bark out loud! But when you say that it is un-negotiable if he doesn't give us the voucher, he quickly gave us the voucher. It's so funny! "
"Well, thanks to your mother and some ladies at the neighborhood. They really skilled me up in negotiating price." Sai smiled.
Sai was always dragged by Hikaru's mother to the nearest market to buy daily groceries. That is where Sai learned the technic to negotiate price. The ladies at there will scold the hawker and keep on saying that the price is not that expensive and keep on decreasing the price until the hawker finally gave up and give them the reasonable price they want. Other ladies will keep on saying "I always buy groceries from you, can't you give me a lower price? I will make sure that I will tell my friends to come here and buy your things at here."
And so, the hawker will make a little bit profit by the end of the day for he was scavenged by the ladies.
They waited at the train station and within minutes, the train came and they hop on to the train and went straight forward to the destination that they are going.
