Dear Diary,
Tomorrow is the day. I am going to take my result. Hopefully that it will achieve my mother's goal. Hope that all my hard work had paid off. What will happen to me if I didn't achieve her goal? I am not sure…just wished that Sai was the kamisama and try to re-write my result. But I know that this is not going to happen. Why is my luck so bad? I really wonder…
Written by,
Hikaru

The sun came out and its gold beam lightens up the cold, dark streets. The birds were chirping around having fun. It was a beautiful, bright day. But Hikaru was not in the mood to sing and roared like a happy lion. Or maybe humming after you fell down from the stairs. He was a bit blur-ish since he just woke up.
Like usual, when he step into the kitchen, he will see Sai trying to have the frying pan from his mother and his mother trying hard to get it away from Sai. He is too dangerous to stay in the kitchen. Who will break the refrigerator just because you slammed the door as hard as you can just to prevent the cold breeze from freezing you? Sai will. He just broken the 5 years old refrigerator and gave Mrs. Shindou to have the opportunity to buy another newer model of refrigerator.
After a hard time with Sai, Mrs. Shindou finally made a beautiful breakfast for Hikaru. It can be seen as his last breakfast. Because if he fails, I don't think he will live till tomorrow's twilight.
Sai offered that he would walk to school with Hikaru and have a look at his result first. He wanted to know how far he did for Hikaru to score.
Mrs. Shindou's goal was that Hikaru won't fail any of his subject and the science subjects must at least get a B. Easy for her to say. Hikaru then quietly went to the door and put in his shoes and went straight to school.
The street seems to be so short for Hikaru. He just wished that the street will become 10 km longer so that he won't have to go to have his sentence so early. As for Sai, he was enjoying himself. He was waving his hand to those aunties and young girls that he saw. Well, he got quite an attractive face and pair of eyes that can take people breathe out. Before long, there were many people on the street, unconscious. Because they were strike by his beautiful breathe-taking eyes.
Hikaru stepped into the school's territory. He wanted to run away. But Sai was behind him, still waving to young teenage girls and making them scream. He had no way back. He bit his lips and changed his shoes, went to the classroom, where his friends were chatting happily, not worrying about the result. He went to them while Sai was pulled away by some of those hot chicks.
"Why are you guys so relaxing? Aren't you worried about the result?" Hikaru asked.
"Why should we worry?" one of his friend look at him and asked him back.
"Because the questions were so tricky! I nearly kill myself while answering them."
"Is it that hard?" His friend turned his head and asked another person.
"No." that person answered with a smile on his face.
"How did you guys do it? I thought that our results were just the same." Hikaru don't understand how can they easily answer the questions while his was trying to break his head just to find out the answers. Not fair!
They looked at each other then laughed. They then pulled Hikaru to a side and whisper to him.
"Well, my friend, we got the question paper long ago. We got the time to remember all the answers and that's why we can answer it fluently."
"WHAT!" Hikaru shouted. His friends were shocked by his reaction so they drag him out of the classroom so that he won't attract attention.
"Why didn't you guys tell me? You all are too much!" Hikaru was angry. How can they do this to him!
"We tried to tell you. But every time we talk to you, you will have the note book on your hand. Even when we tried to phone you, you also didn't come and picked up the phone. So, since you are that hard working, we decided that you continue studying. At least you get your grade fairly." They explained.
"Really?"
"Yes. Nothing but the truth of the truth." They even raised their hand and swear.
Hikaru sighed. He cannot blame them. It was his fault for not paying attention to what was happening beside him.
He went back to the classroom and lied down flat on his table, waiting for his judgment day.

Sai was running like hell because he was chased by the hot chicks that just now dragged him away. He was panting hard and nearly died because lack of oxygen. He ran and ran and cried for help. But nobody step out and helped him. They were already shocked by his long hair and when they heard his crying for help, they were still stunt. Because the girls were like lioness, trying to trap a bull that will become their dinner. Or maybe to be straight, they all look like vampires trying to suck the poor Sai's blood. All the people did was clearing a path for Sai to run and then watched.
Finally, Sai saw Hikaru's classroom and quickly went inside to seek for help. He pulled the door open hard and ran straight to Hikaru's place. His tears were going to burst out any minute. The hot chicks arrived just a few seconds later. They stylishly walked to Hikaru's place and demand that Sai go with them. Hikaru was blurred at that time. So, he just nodded his head and went on lying down on his table, ignoring Sai's cry for help.
Poor Sai. Just when he thought he was doom, he heard a man's voice and he was suddenly freed. He opened his eyes and nearly fainted. The guy was big! Giant! He got scars on his face also! Oh my goodness sake! What is this? The tall guy gave the hot chicks a cold stare and they all went off with their faces white like paper. Only then, he entered the classroom and put the whole stack of report cards on the table.
"Now, settle down. Your form teacher was not feeling well today, so, I am given the task to give these report cards to everyone's parents. Let's start now. First, Akamichi Akira."
The guy started his work quickly and doesn't even care to tell the parents who he is. Sai asked. And the answer was that this teacher is their physical education teacher. He served the military before and they think that he got the scar because of some secret mission. The true story about his scar, nobody dare to asked, so they assumed that he was hurt during that secret mission.
"Shindou Hikaru."
The both of them, Sai and Hikaru quickly went forward and sat by the teacher's side. He used up a bit time to find Hikaru's report card and during the finding session, it nearly killed Hikaru because of the anticipation. As for Sai, he was sitting at there without emotion. Don't know what he is thinking.
Finally, the teacher successfully found Hikaru's report card and pull it out from a whole stack of report cards. The whole stack of report card nearly collapse after Hikaru's report card was pulled out. But fortunately, it seems to have its balance back and 'stood' there silently.
The teacher looked at Hikaru's result and had the same expression as Sai; he got no emotion on his face. Hikaru's hands were sweating and sweat was also coming out from his forehead like a water fall. After a long decade, for Hikaru, the teacher finally closed the report card and hand it over to Sai.
"You better see this by yourself. I am speechless." The big PE teacher said.
Hikaru took the report card from Sai's hand and flip it open! When he saw his result, the report cards that was stacked at there seem to know his feeling and all of them fell on the floor, shattered.
"I…I…" Hikaru is really speechless! He got three subjects failed! How is he going to tell his mother? His eyes were blurred. He can feel a warm stream going to flow out. He tried to clam down but the tears just flow down by itself.
Sai was shock to see Hikaru's reaction and took the report card from him. He fliped to Hikaru's latest result and same like Hikaru, he was also shock. And tears were flowing out.
"Hikaru…" he took a deep breath and look at the half blond hair boy.
"Don't say any thing. Let's go home." Hikaru stepped out from the classroom with a very sorrow mood. What can he do? He didn't achieve his mother's expectation. He disappointed her and Sai. He cannot play Go again. What have he done? He felt very disappointed of himself. He closed his eyes for a while and then leaves the school.
The road going back to the house seems to be a very long way. He cannot breath. He felt that there was something compressing his heart.
Sai walked behind Hikaru, not saying anything and he still have tears on his eyes.

"Welcome home! How is it my dear?" Mrs. Shindou greeted them at the door step and asked Hikaru about his result. Hikaru looked up and his eyes got blurred again. He cannot see his mother's face clearly. He doesn't want to see the disappointment on her face. So, he ran up stair before his tears dropped.
Mrs. Shindou was shocked to see her son having tears. She was so worried and looked at Sai. She also saw tears rolling in Sai's beautiful eyes. She was confused. Because Sai was having tears…right…and having a smile on his face…what's the meaning of this? She seek for an answer from Sai and Sai just gave her a sweet smile and took her to the living room, flipped open Hikaru's report card and then…
"AH!" Mrs. Shindou shouted and screamed. Hikaru hide himself in the blanket. Fear that his mother will run up stair and scold him. But after half an hour of waiting, there was no action. No footsteps on the stairs. She must be too sad and too angry to come up and scold me. Hikaru thought. He then cried again and with tears, he fell asleep in his bed.

"This is unbelievable!" Mrs. Shindou was still in the shock. She cannot think anything but the result that Sai have just shown her.
"I don't believe this either. But I have looked through it many times and it is real!" Sai said.
"I must tell his father about this! This is all thanks to you." Mrs. Shindou said and went to the phone. It sounded like Sai is the cause that her son got three subjects failed.
"You were welcome." Sai smiled and accept the compliment. Eh? Accepting it? Weird…
"Hello? Anata? It's me!" Mrs. Shindou dialed a few numbered and within seconds, the line was picked up by her husband.
"What is it my dear?" erm…although it is quite scary to hear a 30 over years old couple calling each other dear or anata, but the main point was not at here.
"Anata! Our boy Hikaru made it! He got almost all subjects A! Only three subjects got B! Isn't this great news?" Mrs. Shindou was pulling the phone line so hard that the phone nearly dropped down.
Wait! Did she say Hikaru got almost all A? And he only got three subjects B? But…Hikaru saw that he got three subjects failed right? OK, let's go and have a check again.
A few seconds later…
Ahem. There seems to be some problem with Hikaru's eyes. He saw the wrong result. The result was the result when he was in the first year. That time he was so bad in his studies. What is Hikaru thinking while he was looking at his result? Looks like everyone were happy about his result except for himself. Well, it won't hurt if we tell him on the next chapter. Just to give him a lesson to flip to the right page and look at your result. Just don't jump onto the conclusion so quickly. So, everyone, remember to flip a few page back before you decided to accept the result that was shown for you.

Hehe am I late for this chapter? I am quite proud of myself though…I finished this chapter within two days! I mean 2! TWO! Mwahahaha! (Somebody in the dark corner: So, within those few days, what were you doing? Why did you update so late?")
Err…ha-ha…can I lie that I was plotting the story? Ok, I know that this is a very bad lie…I admit it, I was wasting my time daydreaming to other places and drooling over handsome 2D Saiyuki and Naruto guys…--lll As usual, I would like to say thanks to those who gave me those reviews. Like gravitation gig, night-owl123 and of course last but not least, Kari2500! Well, I would like to especially thank Kari for her review. Your review really made me keep on moving! Really thank you! Well, I am not living in US, so I don't have that kind of so summer holiday…sobbing… but I am enjoying the holiday now:D its ok that you ask for another chapter…I am ok with it…in fact, it kept me moving..:D thank you! Hugs from me! sighed… well, about the result that Hikaru look to the wrong page, never happened to me…but about the disappointment was real…although I didn't failed my exam, but somehow I didn't achieve my parent's goal. I was quite sad at that time…so, I hoped that Hikaru will have a better luck then me!
