"Good Morning Hikaru…" Sai rubbed his eyes and greet to the blue mood Hikaru. You can see that many negative auras were surrounding him and Hikaru was wearing two big black eyes just like the panda in the zoo.

"Ah…" Hikaru answered him with a single vowel.

"Did you sleep well yesterday?" Sai poured himself a cup of milk and sat by Hikaru's side.

"Oh…" Again, another single vowel.

"Why are you answering me like that? Are you sick?" Sai asked.

"Yeah…maybe…I don't feel comfortable. I feel like my head is heavier than my body." Hikaru lay flat on the dining table as if his neck cannot afford to handle his heavy head already.

"Why, that is so serious. Do you need a doctor?" Sai stood up and approached to Hikaru; put his hand on Hikaru's forehead.

"No. What I need now is a time to be alone." Hikaru sadly thought about his three failed subjects. He wondered why Sai is so calm. With Sai's usual reaction, he will be the first to strangle him and kick him out from the room window. This is so not Sai.

"Why? You should be happy with your result. I thought that I am going to throw a party for you! But since you are sick, I think you should have some rest first. I think you have burned out. Poor you. Don't worry, I will tell your mother about it."

When Hikaru heard that Sai was going to throw a party because of his result, his anger was like the flaming fire in the hell. Since when do Sai become so sarcastic? Even though he wants to have revenge, how can he hurt his heart?

"You are too much! How can you do this! I know that I have disappointed you by having three failed subjects! But how can you treat me like this!" the volcano was erupted. Hikaru was on the top of his anger. He stood up and ran back to his room and slammed the door.

"What?" the blurred Sai only heard a roar coming out through Hikaru's mouth and then his ears was deaf by the loudness of Hikaru's voice. But wait. Did Hikaru say he got three failed subjects? But I thought B is not a fail grade. Then why Hikaru said that he failed? Weird. Must be the humidness that makes him go insane. Better let him stay alone in the air conditioned room and cool down.

So, Sai took his cup of milk and went out and have a sip of fresh air of the morning breeze. And have tasty desserts from the aunties and girls. Ah life is so beautiful for him…

Life is horrible…Hikaru was lying on his bed with air-conditioning room, making the room more cooling.

Everything seems to fall apart after he got his result. He felt that Sai is leaving him behind and never ask him for a game already. He thinks that Sai is still angry that he disappointed him.

But actually Sai didn't asked Hikaru to play with him because he thinks that Hikaru should have a good time resting after all these days of hard work.

He can feel that his mother do not love him anymore. No more delicious food on the table any more for him. Even his favorite food, fried chicken was not on the menu of every Tuesday.

Actually after knowing that Hikaru was sick, through Sai, Mrs. Shindou decided to cook something much healthier for her most precious son.

He felt that his father doesn't want to talk to him anymore. His father didn't even bother to answer him when Hikaru greeted him.

But the truth is that when Mr. Shindou came home, Hikaru stayed upstairs and whisper his words of welcoming his father from his bed. How can Mr. Shindou hear? This is impossible right?

His grandfather doesn't even welcome him anymore. When he went to see him alone, the door was shut tight and he can hear voices in the house. But his grandfather didn't came and open the door for him.

Well, yet again, actually the old man was playing Igo with his old friends and of course, the hearing of a bunch of old people are not that good. Further more, they were screaming to each other and accusing each other cheating. So, when Hikaru rang the door bell, no one heard it.

Life is horrible…thought Hikaru again…

"Anata…Hikaru is acting very weird these few days. He seems to be very gloom. I thought after a few days of rest, he will restore his energy and I am waiting for him to ask me to go and play GO. But he didn't even seem to mention it." Mrs. Shindou worriedly looked at her husband and told him about her worries.

"Yeah these few days I also didn't see him moving around the house. What happened to him?" Even Mr. Shindou noticed Hikaru's weirdness.

"Fujiwara-san, what do you think?" Mrs. Shindou looked towards Sai that was digging himself in the bowl of rice.

"Huh?" Sai remove his head from the bowl and look at the two of them with his big, puppy eyes.

"Didn't you notice anything wrong with Hikaru?" Mrs. Shindou repeated.

"Yes. I also noticed. But every time I want to talk to him, he just ignores me and goes for daydreaming…"

"I think we should go and ask him." Mr. Shindou got out from his seat and pulled his wife and Sai to Hikaru's room.

At there, Hikaru was lying on his bed, with two eyes wide open but his eyes were not focusing on things. He seems to be in deep thoughts.

"Hikaru." Mr. Shindou called his son. And Hikaru went back to reality quickly. He turned his head and looked at the three adults. Is it time for them to lecture me already? Hikaru thought.

"Son, are you okay? You seem to be very weak these few days. Is there anything bothering you?" Mrs. Shindou quickly went to sit at the side of Hikaru and worriedly look at him.

"Yeah, tell your mum or me. We will try to help you." Mr. Shindou stood there and held out a helping hand for Hikaru.

"Tell them what your problems are. Maybe we can find a solution for you. Are you bullied in your school? I thought after Kaga graduated, no one bullies you already." Sai stood there and starting to search his memory to find the one that was bullying Hikaru.

Hikaru was touched by his family members' caring attitude. Tear nearly drop off from his eyes. But how can a man tears? He must control his emotion! He then hugs his mother and without knowing it, his tears dropped.

"I am sorry! I am so sorry that I got such a bad result! I promise I will do better in the future!"

"What are you talking about? You this silly fellow! You got so many A s and I am so proud of you! Only three that you got B, that is so good! How can you say that you have failed?" Mrs. Shindou hugged him and scolded him for being so silly.

The crying Hikaru was so happy that his mother was so understanding. But wait. Did she say that he got three B? He quickly leaves his mother's hugging and look at them with a confused expression.

"What did you just say?" Hikaru need some conformation.

"I said that you did a great job." Mrs. Shindou repeated and Sai was holding Hikaru's report card and flip to the page where his actual result was.

"Here. Look at this. How can you say that this is bad?" Sai ask with confusion.

"…" Life is full with surprise.

"…" Hikaru was still in the state of shock and sat on his bed without moving an inch.

The three adults went downstairs and start to have their usual activities everyday. They switched on the television and watch whatever program that was on the television, giving him some time to be alone.

"AHHH!" Hikaru finally gain back his fly away conscious and shouted out loud.

"Looks like he is back." Mrs. Shindou peeled off the orange skin and said to the two other people.

"Yeah." Munching the orange that his wife gave him, Mr. Shindou just answered her and still concentrating on the movie going on the screen.

"Ok." Same for Sai, he was holding a bucket of popcorn that he had made for himself and the others and throws a handful of it into his mouth.

Nobody care what happen to Hikaru. They assume that this boy already became to his own self and there is no need to worry anything about him anymore. There is not need for them to grow a few more white hairs for him.

And so, Hikaru finally found out his real result and life went back to track again.

A few days later…

Hikaru was back to his normal attitude and was hiding himself from the wicked alarm clock that was trying to do its daily duty-to wake him up.

A hand came out from the blanket and waves its hand, making the alarm clock tragically fell down from the table and there goes another alarm clock that D.I.A (Die In Action).

"Hikaru! Wake up! It's Monday morning. You have to go to school before you are late!" Sai have taken over one of Mrs. Shindou's daily chores-to wake Hikaru up.

"I am tired." He ignores Sai's command and stayed at his blanket.

Well, for Sai, this is not a difficult job for him. He just sat by the side of Hikaru's bed and started to talk many things. About the Go that he had played with the old man that they met before, that the neighbor across the street got a divorce, some kid from one of the families in this area got a knee injury and so on.

Hikaru cannot stand the noises that Sai made, and finally gave up. He sat up and rubbed his eyes to stay awake.

"Why do you have all the vacation that I don't have?" Hikaru feeling quite unfair seeing that Sai, sitting at his bed, reading a Go magazine and not hearing what he was saying.

"Hey!" Hikaru tried to have his attention and after a few long minutes, Sai finally got himself out from the magazine and looked at him, waiting for an answer from Hikaru that was changing his pajamas to school uniform.

"What?" He asked.

"I said that why are you so free? Don't you have other things to do?" Hikaru repeated.

"No." After answering Hikaru's question, he went back to the Igo magazine and reading the news that were happening in the Go world.

Hikaru was gritting his teeth but he cannot do anything. Sai is under his mother's protection. All the aunties and girls at here are his supporters. Why handsome guys do always gets the attention? Same like Akira always having girls screaming when he just slipped himself through them. Not fair.

And then, Hikaru's mind suddenly plotted an evil plan in his head. Looks like Sai is going to have a tough time without noticing it!
