Hikaru stood there numb. Should he help Sai? If he helps him, he will surely get squashed by a whole bunch of fan girls. But if he doesn't go and help him, Sai will surely be torn into pieces by the fan girls. Furthermore, Sai was his teacher in Igo. He shouldn't left him there all alone with this bunch of crazy girls. But, because of him, he has to bear the nagging of his mother.

Finally, he made his decision, he step forward and turned. Turning towards Sai. Well, the angel won. He walked through all the girls. Then, with a sudden leap, he hug Sai and cried.

"Oh! My long lost sister! I have found you for so long! I miss you so much! Where have you been?" Hikaru took some of his saliva and wipe on his face, trying to make a more convincing scene.

Most of the girls when they heard that Sai was a 'girl' they were stunned. You can see the craziness in their eyes went off immediately. But then, there were still some of the girls still looking at Sai with admiration.

Hikaru knew that he cannot stay long at here. So, he took Sai by the hand and ran out from the Igo institution.

Both of them were panting when they ran out the institution. After a few miles of running and made sure that the girls won't catch up, only then they sat at the road side, trying to breath in the fresh, lovely air.

After was getting enough air, both of them still seating by the road side.

The air was so tensed up, since Sai was afraid to talk to Hikaru, fearing that Hikaru was still angry at him.

All of a sudden, Hikaru said "Is this the job mum found for you?"

Sai quickly straighten his back and answer backed.

"Yes."

"Well, it seems like you are having a great time at there." Hikaru teased.

"I thought it was fun to work at a place where I can hear the sound of the stones dropping on the board and knowing that everyone that steps into the institution is because of their love towards Go. But then it turns out that I was surrounded." Sai's face turns into bitter gout.

"Haha! Hope that you got your lesson!" Hikaru seems to be alright after a few days of cold war with Sai and he decided to forgive him.

Sai notice that Hikaru forgive him so he put out his hand and say

"Friends?"

"Yeah. Friends again." Hikaru gave him a big, bright smile and both of them went straight back home since after all these things happen, it's already six o'clock in the evening.

"Hopefully your mum has cook something with high calories. Because I am starving right now. After all these chasing." Sai said.

"Yeah. I hope so too. But I rather eat ramen." Hikaru's face was full with satisfaction when he mentioned about ramen.

"You got to stop your ramen dream boy. Ramen is no good for you if you keep on eating it everyday!" Sai started to nag again.

"Ish! Alright! I know! Stop nagging like my mother! You make me feel like I am having another mother. And believe me; this is not good for me."

"What! I am just caring about you! You must be grateful!" Sai protested

"Grateful? Hah! What a joke! I never know what gratuities are." Hikaru gave a loud hmph and looked away.

"Hmph!" Sai looked away too, watching the various people walking past by them.

And then after a few seconds later, Sai saw something interesting and turned back to asked Hikaru, forgetting he was still angry of him.

Eventually, same for Hikaru, he also seems to forget he was planning to have a cold war with Sai.

The two best friends are together again, preparing to start another great wave in the Igo world.

It was autumn and the leaves are turning from lush green into yellow, red colours. Forming a very beautiful scenery by the walk way. Sometimes, leaves will drop off from the tree and dance on the air with the help of the gentle wind.

It was a sad but romantic season and now under one tree, there was a pair of lovers standing under it. The girl was looking down at the floor with blushes on her face and sometimes she will glance up to the guy.

But the guy seems to be quite boring. He was lying on the tree trunk like he was lacking his back bone. But at least he looks cool when he lies on the tree trunk. He was looking at the sky which was coloured with red and yellow colours, just like the trees.

"Ano…" The girl was finally willing to speak and held up high her red as tomato face.

"Yes?" The man put his attention back to the girl and gave her a very warm smile which nearly melted the girl's courage.

"That…" The girl was hesitating. She was squeezing her fingers and her eyes were floating all over the park, uncertain whether should she confess.

"You can tell me now. I am ready. But can you be a bit quicker? I need to go back before the sky turns dark." The man smile again. And felt quite sorry for rushing the girl.

The girl took a big breath and finally shouted out.

"THE MONEY YOU OWE FROM MIYA'S RAMEN SHOP HAS TO BE PAY BACK WITHIN THIS WEEK!"

The girl finally are allowed to breath smoothly after telling the guy that he have to pay back the debt that he owes them.

The guy looked a bit shock. I bet he thought that the girl was going to confess. But it looks like that he has mistaken it.

He blushed and brushed his hair with his hand and put his other hand into the pocket, searching for money.

"Wait. I got my salary today. I was planning to pay you back just now. But you seem to be having a big problem while looking at me. So I thought that you needed my advice in some problem." He smiled and finally gets to dig out his money and paid his debt.

"HahaI was really having problem to tell you that you owe us money. Because you were such a great guy for helping me out for so many times. I was reluctant to do this but my father forced me to take the money from you because you err…accumulate quite much of the debt."

"Haha…it's ok. Oh! I got to go. It's dinner time. I need to get back. Or else my friend's mother will scold me. Sorry for troubling you! Bye!"

The guy quickly turned his back and ran towards his house. With the dim light of the lamp post that have just lighten up, it was shown the man's figure. He was Sai!

Looks like he got many debts on ramen since Hikaru always drag him to the shop and never pay for him.

Lucky for Sai that he always gets to accumulate the debt with his charming smile.

Panting, he finally arrived home and was welcome by Hikaru's long face.

"Tadaima! (I'm back)" He took off his shoes and ignored Hikaru. He went straight towards the kitchen yelling "I'm hungry! I'm hungry!"

Mrs. Shindou gave him a smile and said "Wait for a while. It is almost done."

"Okay!" He then sat on the chair, humming, anticipating the dinner.

"Well, if you have to wait, you better come to my room now. I got something to discuss with you." Hikaru appeared behind him and his tone seems to be very cold.

"Eh? I don't want! I want dinner!" Sai protested and have his hand held on the table edge.

"Come on! Don't be such a baby!" Hikaru forced Sai to moved from the table and drag him upstairs with Sai sobbing.

"What is it?" Sai wiped his tear off and looked at Hikaru with very sad eyes.

Hikaru rolled his eyes and pulled out a few tissues papers and handed it overt to Sai.

"Wipe it off. You looked so messy and ugly."

Sai wiped off his tears and throw the tissue paper away. Stand there and hoping that Hikaru can explain what is the big fuss is all about until he has to sacrifice his dinner.

"Look, the Go professional test is coming soon. I was wondering if you would like to take part in it. I can register for you."

"Re……Rea…Really?" Sai's voice trembled with excitement.

"Yeah. Because I am tired of you keep on nagging that no one wants to play with you. So, I decided to let you get the title and get on with life." Hikaru blushed because he was not willing to tell Sai that he was feeling quite sorry for Sai to stay in his house doing nothing. Although he was paid for tuition-ing him.

"Yeah! I am going to have the exam and become a professional and get to play with all kinds of people! Oh yeah! Including Akira! I wanted to see how much he has improved in his skills since that time I played with him! This is so exciting!" Sai ran round the room with his happy laughter.

It was then Hikaru realized that he hasn't told Akira about Sai. He was so sure that Akira would kill him after knowing the truth. How was he going to explain? Hikaru started to feel that having Sai going for the exam is a bad idea.
