Chapter 9- Fighting
The martial arts Hall was loud that night. You could hear the sounds of body slamming and fist-bumping, even the roaring sounds of their coach as he screams bloody murder to whoever is losing. Well, the impact is quite fearsome that everybody cheered to the players on the mat.
'Hikaru, shove him to the floor
Shovel him! crush him!... Yeah!'
Mitani's scream echoed more excitedly than anyone .
Hikaru suddenly looked flustered, then became expressionless as he pinned down he's sempai,
He looked lost in thought that he was unable to notice the leg, aiming for his waist.
He got hit and lost his grip on his opponent, he fall back and manoeuvred that he was near a crouching position.
He got up then winced as a sharp pain shot from his right waist.
damn
He cursed silently.
He was unable to finish cursing as he notice his opponent about to lunge an attack.
Hikaru pushed down the pain at the back of his mind and ignored it.
He matched his movements with the opponent, guarded his weak and now bruised spot, and lunged a counter attack.
It took him only a second to pull it off, and stood in all his glory as he trampled his opponent to the ground.
The Sempai was thrown down to the ground and got pawned by Hikaru.
A perfect victory.
Hikaru bowed down in respect and the sempai, embarrased bowed back as the coach announce the winner of the match.
'Hikaru, that was wicked. You totally showed that sempai'
Mitani slapped him on the back as he whispered.
Hikaru winced
'i appreciate it if you stop adding more harm to me'
Mitani grinned, a mischievous ploy plastered on his face.
' On second thought, i should just wiggle myself out of here'.
He took a side step and avoided Mitani's friendly pat on his bruise hip.
Although it doesn't hurt to move but it friggin' hurts if you touch it.
'Hikaru, are you alright?'
Sai asked, worry on his voice
'because you were distracting me, i got hit on my hip, you- urggh! Never mind'
Hikaru can't get angry with Sai, he's a ghost, and he knew it was his weak footing and slow reflex , that he could not avoid that sudden attack.
He still have a long way to go.
'Gather around'
Their Sensei called them in a booming voice . They gathered around and lined up neatly
'I have something to announced, - he looked at he's student curious faces, expect Hikaru who was distracted and was looking away- i'll be going on a maternal leave- i mean a very important trip. -He paused then continued--
I will leave the captain in charge.- he glared sinisterly and looked in the eye he's students as he scanned them - even if I'm away, I expect you all to train harder and I expect you to improve and be alert inside the mat, if not then you will lose your life- when Hikaru turned to face he's Sensei, he was glaring at him.'
Our eyes met and i nodded in silent agreement. He frowned.
'Now, dismissed'
'Osu' everyone answered in Unison.
On the way home,
I change back to my uniform and headed to the lockers where i kept my board...
Wait , i was driven here by our chauffeur, which means I left my skateboard back home!
I frowned.
Just my luck
Mitani and Hikari already head off first. i'm sure by now, they have already left.
Tskk
'Hikaru, since you forgot your skateboard, How about we play Go while you wait for your chauffeur?'
Sai asked, he's eyes beaming.
Its easy to guess what Sai was trying to say. I just don't have the energy to hold him in long conversation.
My lips were dry and I licked it.
'Nah, I'll just laze around I'm tired from all the physical work I've been doing since the 1st day of school.
And I'm a patient so i need to rest too', Hikaru tried to make a lazy excuse.
If it wasn't Sai he was talking to, they would just go on their way and leave him, but Sai knew Hikaru's personality, so he just rolled his eyes and pouted.
'Hikaru, since i was roaming around the school, I found out the best place for you to rest while waiting for your ride to arrive!"
Sai exclaimed, as if he was plotting a surprise. It was completely written on his face.
Hikaru raised an eyebrow. He doubt Sai would really tell him the best place to laze around, as far as he know, the only place that fit to that description is the rooftop, but the weather has gone cold and he wasn't wearing enough layers to warm himself.
So he just nodded, text-ed someone and followed Sai.
He was pretty bored right about now, he already memorize the school floor plan and he can tell where they are headed.
But when he saw Sai excited expression, he bit his lip and continued to follow him silently along the silent corridors.
Sai calmly walk throughthe door- and Hikaru was too late to realize what hit him.
He slammed hard enough to send him falling back to the floor.
He rubbed his aching forehead, which was hit, head first during the collision and the pain on his waist got worse again.
'Damn, really if your not a ghost then i swear-'
He was unable to continue his cursing, when the door opened and what he saw was far from the pain he got on his waist.
Sai peered from the side with a oops-my -bad-expression. Totally feeling guilty.
Sai didn't know there was someone left in school much less in a GO club.
Hikaru wasn't able to predict this predicament to fall on him. He was caught off guard and he got slammed to a door.
F-
'Sorry, I think I got the wrong room',
I slowly got up while apologizing at the same time
' Hey- you are... ', the boy gasped when he saw Hikaru's face.
'My handsome face has a lot of admirers this days',
Hikaru thought to himself
Hikaru acted as if he has no clue who the person is, calmly dusted himself and waved him off. As he walk back the way he came
He's personality totally different.
Cold and dark
' hey- wait- we've met before , don't you remember me?', The boy run after him and grabbed his sleeve.
Hikaru stop and turned his head slightly.
He stood there and looked at this slim boy that is clinging to him.
He's green hair and green eyes , are quite odd, But he was beautiful-uggh- he mentally slap himself.
He remembered him but he doesn't want to let him know.
So the only thing he could do is act indifferent and cold, and act like he doesn't recognize him.
Of course they met in class, but he can pretend that was their first meeting.
He frowned.
'ah! i remember now. The boy who drop his magazine!
Sorry-I'm kinda slow memorizing people faces- not'
'Yeah right',
Sai muttered
Even though he apologize, he's expression remain unchanged. He don't look apologetic at all.
The green haired boy tightened his grip on Hikaru's sleeve
'You completely don't remember me?
We met way before than in the classroom- the boy raised his voice, annoyed- we fought at my father GO salon and you-his voiced sounded cracked- won ...'
Hikaru maintained his silence, more like he doesn't know what to say- he doesn't want people to find out he played GO, what if this frail boy back-stab him and announce it to the entire school.
Sure he allows Sai to play GO, but he wants nothing of it and only played it based on Sai's whim
If someone bothered him and ask him to play again, that would really suck-no- he would blew he's lid and scream don't approach me unless i feel like it.
But this boy looks likes he's about to cry again and he don't want that.
'HEY!'
He shouted angrily.
The boy flinched and release his hold on Hikaru.
Hikaru grabbed his hand and dragged him inside the room, he just crashed a while ago.
He knew the odour of wood and stones, that's why he can tell immediately the moment he set his foot inside that he is inside the GO club.
But i thought Touya isn't part of the GO club, so what is he doing here?
A number of questions comes building up inside his brain, but no one seem to want to answer, more like, no one was there to answer his question, Sai was to bewildered to respond.
He slammed the door shut and locked it, after Touya entered the room.
He slammed Touya to the bookshelves and some of the books fell down.
Touya was about to say something when Hikaru held him at throats end.
'Scream and I'll rape you', he warned coldly.
Hikaru eyes were cold and murderous. He don't really mean what he said but the other side of him, mean it. Like a hunger you can't suppress, even if that warning wasn't given, if he allows it, he would do it.
Touya's eye widen, like he is experiencing everything for the 1st time and doesn't know what to do.
Hikaru knows it to well, it was the eyes of his opponent, when they know they can't do anything but surrender.
They were breaths away, if only Hikaru wasn't clutching Touya's throat, it would look to an audience as if he was about to lean for a kiss, but since it was Sai, when he can see through Hikaru's thoughts. It would look to him as if he was going for a kill.
'Let me keep this simple:
1. I don't know who you are
2. I don't give a damn
3. Never breath a word about what happened today
4. If you do, I'll rape you',
Touya's wide eyes shook with fear
And tears were starting to form from the sides of his eyes
He was clutching Hikaru's arm that grip his throat and is standing on tip toes as Hikaru have raised him up.
'If you understand, nod your head',
Hikaru ordered
Touya nodded weakly and Hikaru released his grip
Touya drop to the floor and cough, trying to breath as much as he can amidst the coughing.
'Hikaru, why?'
Sai asked softly, almost like a whisper
'Sai, I'm sorry
When I'm to tired. My self restraint went out of control
Don't be surprised, this is just one side of my personlaity, I accidentally let you see, NO, since you and I are sharing the same body. You will see more side of me, you wish you wouldn't have seen.
That is why, what you witness now and what you will witness in the future. I'm sorry'
'Oh hikaru, those words shouldn't be address to me.
I think you should say it to the person you just harmed'
Hikaru frowned.
'That- I am not sorry at all'
He glanced at Sai with cold eyes, he hasn't been looking at Sai all this time but when Sai saw his eyes, if ghost could shiver in fear, then maybe he do now.
'Since we have ourselves an agreement then I shall take my leave now,'
Hikaru spoke in a gentle voice, but close to a devil's whisper.
Hikaru bowed, the way an actor bowed gracefully when the play has ended and the curtains come down. Hikaru have this habit of acting politely, when he have finished executing his plan.
He turned the knob, but stop when he sense a danger behind him.
Without turning to look, he step sideways and a bowl came crashing on the door.
Spilling black stones
'You're despicable, if I knew you were that kind of person, I should have just ignored you and have not thought about you for days. -Tears were falling from Touya's eyes-
I should have not waited everyday for you at the salon, - Touya covered his face-
not knowing when you will come back, not missing any chance to miss you- I-'
Touya coughed
He was crying.
Sai was looking worriedly at Touya as he pat he's back, although Touya wouldn't feel a thing. Sai then glared at Hikaru, while continued patting Touya
Hikaru sighed.
'Before I thought Sai was the only one who can infuriates me but now I met another troublesome fellow.'
He muttered
Hikaru removed his jacket And drape it on top of Touya.
As he tied his sleeves , preventing it to fall off
'Seriously, boys shouldn't cry so much like a girl, if somebody saw you looking like that, they might think i bullied you'
'Bullied ?! You threatened to rape him',
Sai exclaimed. Fuming!
Tsk
'You threatened to rape me',
Touya voiced out Sai's words, out loud
Hikaru snorted, as if Touya said something funny and he did.
'That wasn't a threat? Please , your old enough to know a threat and a warning.'
'But-'
Hikaru grabbed both sides of Touya and drew him close.
'That was a warning'
He leaned in -
'Hikaru! what are you doing?'
Sai shouted looking as if he just witness a horror live show. He tried pulling Hikaru away from Touya but to no avail
Hikaru pulled away and plastered on his face was a mischievous grin. His mischievous grin
Touya was shocked , he's face says he could not understand what happened
'I heard that the quickest way to stop a person from crying is through a kiss', Hikaru wiped Touya's wet cheeks, ' Guess it was true after all'.
'What -What -was that?', Touya asked still in shocked.
Hikaru shrugged.
'That was a spell to stop you from crying.',
Touya touched his eyes, he really stop crying. Ever in his life did he cry for the sake of another, no , he cried everytime he lost but that was it, nobody made him cry or nobody dared to
But he stopped crying after he- this 2 faced- crazy and despicable person did that to him...
He was shaking as he stood there unable to accept it
Then he heard a sound of an airplane as it passes through, as if it was somewhere close.
Hikaru got up and walk to pick up his bag outside the door. He pulled out his phone and answered the call.
'yeah. you've arrived...
I see. You save me.
I thought I was gonna walk back home tonight. That was scary'
'If walking back home at night scares you, then I'm going to walk home starting today',
Touya thought
Hikaru glanced at Touya, flashed his mischievous smirk
'Wait there, I'll be bringing a package'
Touya heared the 2-faced bastard talk with someone politely, completely different from the personality he displayed a while ago, while keeping a stern and expressionless face.
'Hey, my rides here.'
Hikaru grabbed Touya's arm and Touya flinched.
'Don't space out, It's already late and I can't send you home looking like that'
Touya doesn't know what he look like but after being mishandled like that and after he cried like there was no tomorrow. He could only guess he look like a mess right now
Hikaru, without waiting for Touya's approval, grabbed his bag and Touya, that was on top of the table.
And walk out of the room, leaving the place a complete mess, while dragging Touya.
'Where are you taking me?'
'I'm gonna get you cleaned up before I send you home, call your parents once we get in the car',
Hikaru was walking so fast that Touya could not keep up at all, he trip and stumbled.
He brace himself for the hard ground but strong arms held him gently and steadied him up.
'You really are the 2nd most infuriating person I've ever met',
Hikaru coldly told him and before he can respond, Hikaru lifted him up and slung him on his shoulder.
'HEY!, put me down!',
Touya demanded as he clutched Hikaru's shirt , trying not to fall if ever Hikaru decides to drop him without warning
'Dear love, I am in a hurry to catch my ride, I need not you be a bother for I can only carry which burden you possess at a limit of my power.'
'My home is pretty far so we might arrive late, and if we move in a snail speed. I might just make you sleep in my house overnight, and I have no problem with it',
Hikaru told him, using a soft, gentle voice, like a whisper of a lover. Touya's heart beat faster, screaming PANIC! and he struggled to get down.
Seeing Touya not obeying his polite manners, he frowned.
Sai snorted at the mention of "polite", as he read Hikaru's mind.
Hikaru made his voice cold
'Stop squirming or I'll drop you',
Touya tightened his hold on Hikaru's shirt
'Was that a warning?'
He asked without thinking then bit his lip. He regretted asking that question
Hikaru did not reply And hastened his pace towards the gate.
He saw a black car with tinted window park outside.
The car door opened automatically when Hikaru arrived and Hikaru throw him inside without no wArning.
HikAru sat beside him and ordered to drive to the boss.
Forget about wanting to know what the answer to his question was a while ago, he is completely , Absolutely scared Of the identity of this boy sitting beside him.
He sAt still the entire time, and glanced at Hikaru from time to time, but the boy simply looked bored and stared outside the window.
'uhmm, where are we heading off to?'- tried to push back the horrible thoughts creeping out and bravely asked those question softly
Hikaru didn't reply. Touya swallowed and gather his wits and continued,
'I forgot to introduce myself. At least- i should- try to- do-'
Touya was cut off by Hikaru
'You're Touya Akira,
I just remembered it after i ki-'
-aahhhhhh!
Touya cut him off
He wAnted to cover hikaru's mouth but he's afraid Hikaru is gonna slit his throat next so he just screamed, for that was the only thing he could do
'What?'
Hikaru asked, he's expression remained the same, despite Touya's strange behaviour.
Touya remembered that the boy he played had such a carefree personAlity. Completely opposite from this cold, despicable, arrogant, cruel-
Hikaru glanced as if sensing he was being badmouthed silently
' I-I-'
He don't know what to say,- tell Hikaru he doesn't want to be reminded by it - tell him to shut up - please take me home- , Touya just can't say it.
'Spit it'
' by any chance do you have a twin?'
His heart was beating almost as if it could come out of his chest.
When he looked up, Hikaru was looking as shocked and taken aback by the sudden question.
'Of course he's shock, even i am. I just blurted it out without thinking',
Touya thought and slapped his head mentally, as he hung his head down.
Damn- that was completely out of the box. No. Where is this question coming from-S- I lost my composure...F-
Hikaru frowned and stayed silent.
'Oh, so he can make that face too'
Touya thought
'Even if you searched the database of the entire Japanese population-NO- the entire world. I assure you, there is no one sharing the same face and name such as I.
If there was, they would be dead, long before they could walk'
Note:
-sorry about the grammar, I'll correct then when I'm not busy === I ALREADY CORRECTED THE GRAMMAR & TYPOS, PLEASE TRY READING IT AGAIN.
-I remove some uncanny, talk about sentences, that are completely off track.
My friends, reprimanded me and I decided to change it
Hikaru used of "Dear love" ...when I read it again, I too thought that was weird. was I high writing this part.
seriously. i have too much of macbeth
"not missing any chance to miss you" - Touya means that he doesn't want to miss a day. what if hikaru goes back to the GO salon and he wasn't there, they are completely missing each other.
-I didn't made this in a rush, just type it using my phone
-if you're shock about Hikaru's personality changes, don't be shock now
there are more surprises later
i just need to show his persona to move the story forward.
- Hikaru's personality
cold + cruel
playful + innocent
carefree + cheerful
kind + gentle
harsh + violent
this is what he meant by losing self restraint.
all of this are his true persona, he's not having a personality disorder. Goodness. Don't make my character crazy.
- they are all his persona, the bad part he hides and keeps in check
-the good part he shows publicly
-i already showed tiny slips from the previous chapter [ from how he answered his brother's question about his brother's girl, or how he acted upon his sempai, pretending to act respectful, when deep inside, if there was no rule preventing from killing, he would have done right then and there] this is just the explosive bit.
-if Hikaru is to tired to restrain himself, he lets his emotion out resulting to this
-fortunately. His true personality was seen by Touya.
a perfect development...I can't have Hikaru pretending to be a goody-2-shoes, when his obviously not, and when it comes to Touya, he can't keep his emotions in check.
that's what he means when he says Touya infuriates him
-later in the story, you will see how hikaru falls in love with touya
