Disclaimer: I don't own anything in Hikaru No GO.

Thanks everyone, for all the wonderful reviews. FF. net had came up with this rule, not allowing authors to write authors notes and it sucks. This kind of discouranged me to write personal answers to all my reviewers. Sucks neh...

Anyways,it still won't stop me from thanking all my reviewers and readers...I will still wanna thank all those who had given me support, ideas and reviewed, Jamfase, Fudge Cake a la Mode, Kickkid3, abc, Kari55, DarkPortAtreides, Coiling Death, Xiar and also thanks to all those who read the fic. Bow bow.

Jamfase had given me an idea about what Touya's GO assiociates will think about Akari, eg. like his guests in his GO salon...ect.ect... It is an awfully good idea and I will be thinking up some ideas about it, but now, not many knows about Akari yet, so when the news is officially announced, I will try to find something to write about it. Thank you Jamfase. muaks...

Chapter 13

The place wasn't as quiet but Akari didn't mind as she looked around her new apartment. It was slightly smaller than her previous apartment but everything was beautiful. In fact, there was a two sitter couch in the small living room in front of the television and a radio on top of it. A miniature kitchen, small dinning table fit for two, a phone that came with a recording machine, placed next to the television on a small phone stand.

Her room was perfect, with a single bed, side table, dresser and cupboard. There is a table lamp on the side table. The bathroom and toilet were in the living room next to the kitchen. The only thing missing was that this apartment didn't have a balcony.

"I told you that you will love it," Kuniko smiled at her friend who stared at her apartment in amazement.

"Thank you Kuniko-chan," Akari said giving her friend a hug.

Just then, Touya entered the place with her luggage and raised his eyebrows at the scene.

"Am I intruding something?" He asked.

"No, I'm leaving," Kuniko shook her head. "I think I'm the one intruding. See you Akari-chan…."

"You don't really have to leave," Akari protested.

"I have to go back to work Akari-chan," Kuniko said looking at her watch. "I'll call you tonight alright."

"Sure," Akari watched Kuniko leaving the place closing the door behind her. She turned to Touya will a small smile. "Thanks for helping out Touya-kun…"

"No problem…" Touya said, looking at his watch before he turned to Akari.

"Are you in a hurry to go somewhere?" Akari asked.

"I was supposed to be having this GO study discussion at noon, held at the GO Institute…." Touya explained. "But I can skip it."

"No," Akari exclaimed rather horrified that Touya was going to miss an important discussion. "I'm fine, besides there is nothing you can really do here…."

"Are you sure? I told you I was free today to help you… this discussion had came up pretty last minute."

"Don't worry about it Touya-kun," Akari smiled. "Honestly, I am fine."

"I'll call you after I finish my discussion." Touya said and rather reluctantly, he left the apartment too.

Now that Akari was left alone she turned back to her rather tiny apartment with her hands on her hips and a small smile on her face. She had some housework to do. The place looked kind of dusty as if it hadn't been cleaned for months.

"Yosh, let's get my muscles moving…."

It was perhaps, nearly the whole day Akari had finished wiping out all the dust she could find in her apartment and finally flopped down on the sofa exhausted. She held up her left hand and looked at the time on her watch which showed her a quarter to five in the evening. She didn't really have any food stored in her new apartment yet, so she decided to go out to get groceries.

Touya stepped out the GO Institute feeling slightly exhausted after a huge debate were held on which was the best move. However, his exhaustion was pushed aside when he saw in a distance, someone familiar and someone he will never get tired of seeing, were standing before his eyes. He smiled tenderly at her, without her knowledge.

After getting groceries, Akari decided to come meet Touya guessing that he may be still at the Institute since he never called yet. She was admiring the sun setting in distance with a small smile on her face.

She lean back on one of the pillars with one leg bent backwards, her feet against it and her groceries placed on the ground next to her. She had no idea how long she was in a hazy mood watching the sun setting but she was jerked back to reality when she felt someone held her hand gently. She turned to the person sharply and when she saw Touya smiling at her, she relaxed.

"Touya-kun, you finished your discussion?" Akari asked smiling.

"Yeah, Fujisaki-san you should at least call before you come." Touya said pulling her towards him into a short embrace. "It may take up through the whole night and you will wait in vain."

"I don't mind," Akari grinned. "Besides, I didn't have anything to do and I am sure even the discussion takes up the whole night, you will still come down for dinner and I may be able to see you."

Touya remained silent watching her, wondering what would really happened if his discussion didn't end early that day. He would have let Akari wait till midnight and he wouldn't even come down from the building. The truth was, when it came to GO, he always skipped all his meals until he finishes whatever he has to do.

"Fujisaki-san, just say you will call before you come next time." Touya repeated.

"I didn't want to disturb you while you are having your discussion Touya-kun." Akari explained, wondering why Touya seemed rather edgy suddenly. "I mean I can always wait…"

"I don't want you to stand here waiting for hours," Touya raised his voice. Something he never thought he would ever do, shouting at Akari. "It would be dangerous late at night if anything…"

"Touya-kun nothing is going to happen!" Akari was rather surprised at his outburst and quickly hugged him to calm him down. "Don't worry, nothing is going to happened!"

"I would prefer if you would call me next time Fujisaki-san." Touya hugged her in returned rather slowly, his voice was still stern.

"Alright, I'll call you the next time before coming." Akari replied letting him go and smiling reassuringly at him. "I still don't think I like the idea of disturbing you while you doing something important."

"You won't be disturbing, I just don't like the idea of you waiting in dark for hours!"

"Alright, you win!" Akari sighed turning away from to get her groceries. "I was thinking of surprising you that's all. It doesn't matter how long I wait!"

Touya was speechless, not knowing what else to say. She was only thinking of surprising him and he had practically shouted at her. He felt so foolish suddenly. Slowly he reached over to touch Akari's shoulder as she bent over to pick up the bags, hoping that she wouldn't be mad at him. She turned around to him rather in surprised and smiled curiously.

Touya was rather taken aback that Akari wasn't even angry at him for shouting at her. If it was Yuii, she would have walked away and threaten him that she will never want to talk to him again but Akari was still smiling.

"I… I'm sorry…" Touya whispered still staring at Akari rather astounded.

"What for?" Akari blinked, her smile vanished and she inclined her head.

"For shouting at you…"

Akari raised her eyebrows and smiled slowly.

"You were just worried about me, so why are you sorry about that?" Akari said. "Touya-kun, I am happy that you care about me, so please don't be sorry about that!"

Touya didn't know what else to say. He was rather lost for words that Akari was so understood always.

"So I am guessing you haven't had dinner," Akari continued when Touya didn't say anything. "It's mine first night in my new apartment. I was thinking maybe you would like to celebrate with me for finding a new place to stay."

Finally, Touya smiled again and nod. He reached over to take the bags Akari was holding into his hands, before they made their way back to Akari's new apartment.

After dinner, Akari was cleaning up the dishes after she shooed Touya out to the living to take a rest. He looked really tired and Akari told him that he didn't need to help her clean up. After wiping all the dishes dry and kept them back into the kitchen cabinet she retreated to the living room.

She saw Touya lay on the two sitter couch and the television on. She smiled and went over to him. When she rounded on him, she noticed that Touya had already fallen asleep on the couch his head leaned on the handle, bent towards a side. His hair fallen over his face.

Akari couldn't help herself but reached over to him and gently tugged his hair away from his face behind his ear. She took the remote out of his hand slowly to switch the television off before she went into her room to get a blanket.

As slowly as possible without making any sound Akari flung the blanket over Touya and crouched down next to him. Seeing that he still have his tie on, she smiled softly remembering the first time she had to take them off, she was actually debating whether to do it or not. This time without any hesitation, she reached for them and gently loosen his tie and undo a few top buttons of his shirt before she sat down on the floor, encircled her arms around one of Touya's arm and lean her head on them. Akari watched Touya's peaceful features with a smile on her face before she fell asleep too.

Early next morning, Touya woke up to feel his back hurt him rather badly. Holding up one of his hand he placed it on his forehead and opened his eyes slowly. He found himself in a rather unfamiliar surrounding and remembered that he was at Akari's place when he recalled not going home the night before.

As soon as he finally got his grogginess away, he realized that someone was holding onto his other hand. He turned to that direction quickly to see Akari slept sitting on the floor her head resting on her arms that were wrapped around his!

He reached over with his other free hand to touch her hair gently in process of waking her up because she wasn't very deep in her sleep. Who will be in such an awkward position. Her head snapped up immediately.

"Wha…." She looked around sleepily.

"Fujisaki-san you should have gone to your room to sleep!" Touya said softly but couldn't help smiling at how cute she looked in the morning. He wouldn't mind waking up every morning to see her like this.

"Oh…." She removed her hands from his and stretched, with one hand up in the air and the other hand covering her yawn. "I must have fallen asleep after you did…"

It took Akari to stretch all her cram muscles before she looked up at Touya with a smile that he would love to see every morning too.

"Breakfast?" She asked.

"Yes please." Touya smiled in returned.

"I'll go take a quick shower first," Akari said getting up on her feet heading for the bathroom.

Touya didn't know that he could be happier than the first time his father praised him to be really good in GO and it was time for him to proceed into the world of Professional players. But being here now, seeing Akari with him, showering him with her kindness and thoughtfulness. He never thought possible that she could show him the happiness that he had never experience before.

The phone ringing brought Touya out of his thoughts. He got up from the couch and was ready to get the phone when he saw Akari, her hair slightly damp, running out from the bathroom, in a white loose blouse which looked really damp too, making it rather revealing because it's white and wet and a pair of yellow shorts. She rushed over to the phone to pick it up before he did. He guessed that she didn't even bother to dry herself when she heard the phone, got dressed and dashed out as fast as she could to get it.

"Moshi moshi, Fujisaki Akari resident."

Touya watched her eyes widened and a huge smile appearing on her face, as she listened over the phone. Touya wondered what kind of good news would bring her so much happiness, but it was really good to see her smiling so happily again since her café got broken in.

When she finally placed the phone down she practically ran over to Touya, flung her hands around his neck and jumped on him, knocking him back, sitting on the couch. She was now practically on top of Touya, straddling him. She released her arms around his neck, so she could look at his face.

"It's from the team construction worker!" Akari explained happily, not even realizing what she was doing, both her hands on either side of his shoulders. "He told me that their job is done today and I have to go there to get some papers sign and give them the rest of the down payments!"

Touya was still rather surprised at her actions remained silent. From such a close encounter now, Touya could really see how revealing her 'wet white blouse' was. Of course, being a gentleman like he always was, he focused his attention on Akari's cheerful face instead.

"Are you free today?" Akari asked. "Do you want to come down with me?"

Touya nodded since he couldn't find his voice, feeling his face flushing and cursing himself for it.

However when Akari realized that she practically on top of Touya, she began to blushed furiously too. It didn't become any better when she realized how revealing her blouse was and jumped back from Touya so quickly, as if he had suddenly burst into flames.

"Oh my!" Akari whispered, backing away from Touya several steps before she turned away swiftly from him.

"I'll be right out to prepare breakfast!" She yelled without turning back, running into her room and slamming her door shut.

"Oh gosh!" Touya lean his head back on the couch, staring up the ceiling, placing his palm on his forehead brushing his bangs away rather frantically.

Never in his life, had he felt so much heat rising in him for any girl before. He shifted on the couch rather uncomfortably trying to calm him self before Akari returned to the living room. He can't let her see him like this!

Nonetheless, during breakfast, the rather self-conscious couple never mentioned about the incident that happened earlier that morning again.

TBC

I hope everyone liked the ending. LOL wink wink... Next coming chapter, Akari's past will be revealed. It is a very long chapter so I kind of split it into two. I tried to make it really unique but still, it didn't meet my expectations...so...er... don't get your hopes up too high. I am still afraid it may be boring. I will be putting it up in a few days time!

Thanks for reading
