Hey, I'm really happy that people read my story! It made me supper motivated to make another chapter. I'm so sorry if this chapter is a bit slow though. I tried to follow the storyline as much as possible but it may have made the story a bit boring. Which leads me to a new question: Do you want me to go almost exactly along with the manga flow or maybe skip some parts here and there?

Now, the new chapter!

Chapter Two: Where is He?!

"Why?" Hikaru questioned, "What just happened?"

Sai stood behind Hikaru, waiting for his reaction. He began to wonder if Hikaru would cry, or maybe (he hoped not) jump with joy. If Hikaru wouldn't be bothered by it then Sai knew he would be hurt but at the same time, he wouldn't be worried to pass on and leave Hikaru.

Sai pouted.

But I still hope he cries at least a little bit.

"He was just playing Go with me in my room" Hikaru continued his monologue, " and just like that it was the same as always."

"No it wasn't," Sai whispered, "I knew I was going to disappear. I could feel it so it wasn't the same." Sai shook his head.

Yes, it wasn't the same. In fact I felt like I was floating to the sky and I felt ready to move on. But why am I still here? Suffering in silence without you here to talk with me?

"Now that I think about it," Hikaru thought as realization struck him, "the last time we came here Sai screamed that he would soon disappear." Hikaru's eyes widened and his face darkened as his thoughts pulsed through Sai's mind, "It can't be that Sai really disappeared?"

Sai looked down sadly at Hikaru.

Yes, I did disappear, Hikaru.

Sai waited for either a soft sob or a big smile of freedom, which would soon become laughter. But neither happened. Of all things, Hikaru denied it.

The thought's of the teen rang through Sai's mind. The teen wholeheartedly denied the idea and seemed to truly believe it. It couldn't be that Sai disappeared.

The denial from the child though, triggered something in Sai. Suddenly he had a desire to try to make the child hear him so he screamed out loudly to the boy with watered eyes.

"That's right Hikaru! I didn't disappear. I'm right in front of you. See?" Sai said with hopefulness as he opened his arms in front of the boy.

But the boy noticed nothing as he simply crawled to the ladder of the attic and called out to his grandfather, "When does a ghost disappear?"

His grandfather, slightly confused, answered simply, "You mean when a person passes on? I guess when they have no more regrets?"

"That's right," Hikaru thought, "He's aiming for the Hand of G-d so he'd probably want to stay here for thousands of years!" Hikaru climbed down the ladder, "I'm sure he's in the room, I mean he was there this morning."

Hikaru dashed out of the house and ran toward home. Sai stood in the attic and looked at the Go board.

"G-d. Why did you have to do this to me? How could I look at Hikaru in the face if he won't even notice me? Will you," Sai interrogated with sadness, looking at the spot on the Go board that the bloodstains appeared to be in for Sai but not Hikaru, as his voice cracked slightly, "make me stay with a Hikaru who can't see me forever? Please," Sai looked up at the ceiling, "make Hikaru see me!"

Then suddenly, Sai felt a pulling pressure. His "body" suddenly careened towards Hikaru's home. He felt his "body" go up and though the open window of the teen's bedroom. The curtains were still blowing in the afternoon wind. Sai sat down on Hikaru's bed and enjoyed imagining the feeling of wind on his face. He remembered when he was still alive he used to love to sit under sakura trees and stare at the sunset, as his long hair would flow in the wind. But now he couldn't feel anything.

Anything he "touched" would just go though him.

Anyone who "saw" him would just see though him. Like how Hikaru would now seem to instinctively look into Sai's direction but couldn't "see" him at all.

Sai jolted as a slam of the door was heard. Sai looked into the direction of the door. A worried faced Hikaru barged in with sweat dripping on his face.

Sai looked at Hikaru with a hurt face but no tears present in the ghost's eyes. Maybe he already got used to the feeling of constant grief. He never felt this bad for thousands of years since his suicide. Even then it all ended when he could no longer breath and finally died in the midst of water and fish. The fish kept his corpse company.

Even when he got stuck in the Go board, at least people played on it and he constantly felt happiness from the taps of Go stones on the Go board. And eventually he met Torajiro. Then he was left alone again but after thousands of years, he finally met Hikaru. But even during those long years he was sleeping soundly in the Go board till he felt awaken from the touch of a child's pudgy fingers and squeaky voice.

Now, he had to deal with the feeling of being with a beloved but not being able to talk to him. Only to look at him and cause grief.

Sai saw Hikaru's face turn to sadness then suddenly to stubbornness as the teen convinced himself again, "I'm sure he just went somewhere. This is the first time it ever happened but I'm sure he just found a way to go somewhere on his own!"

The ghost frowned and spoke to the teen, "Hikaru, you know I'd never leave without telling you. Plus, I can't ever leave you. See even now I was led to you through an invisible magnet."

Sai's eyes then widened as he saw Hikaru walk to his direction and climb onto the bed while talking to himself, "Sai's been kind of out of it recently so I'm sure he just went somewhere with a 'poof.'"

"I have not been out of it!" The ghost pouted with puffed up cheeks and a scowl.

Not hearing the ghost, the teen leaned towards the window and stared at the sky, "Yah, probably with a 'poof' he flew in the sky and went out to play somewhere!"

Sai looked at Hikaru sympathetically and sighed, "Hikaru, you know I can't fly…"

Then the boy wondered to himself aloud, "Was Sai able to fly?"

Sai smiled at the ridiculousness of the boy. What imagination the boy had.

There's no way I can fly. If I was ably to do that I would have done it a long time ag-

"I'M SURE HE LEARNT HOW TO FLY! HE ONLY WENT SOMEWHERE TO PLAY. G-D WHERE DID SAI FLY TO?" Hikaru snapped then whispered again, "Where did he go?"

Sai panicked at the sudden out burst of the child. He started to run around Hikaru and to attempt to calm him down by saying, "Hikaru, Hikaru, calm down. I'm right here." Then Sai got a light bulb of inspiration, "Hikaru, I know what you should do! Get a little drink of water and calm your nerves a bit!"

Unexpectedly the boy bounced off the bed and dashed out of the room.

Sai stared at the empty door way, tilted his head and grinned.

Is Hikaru taking my advice? Can he hear me again?

Then Sai heard a sound of Hikaru picking up the phone and dial a number. When the other person answered the teen said, "Hey Grandpa, Where would ghosts go?"

Sai sighed and put his hand to his head.

Where does this boy get such crazy ideas?
