Chapter 11

"So basically you telling me the reason you dress like a boy is because of that…" Touya can't seems to find the appropriate words to describe Mizuki.

So I help supplied him with countless that comes into mine mind when ever his name is mention. "Eccentric? Crazy? Over the top? Persistent?"

"Yes, well that seems to describe him well, but no matter much I tried I can't ever imagine you being a girl."

"What do you mean?" While the girl asks with a polite smile on her face, the temperature in the room suddenly plummets dangerously. The others who were in the room politely not trying to listen to the conversation between two young revere Go players slowly back away toward the door knowing what comes next.

"Well you just never seem to act anything like a girl. Like how you eat without manners like speaking with food in your mouth, or how the way you sit, and there is the fact that you talk like a man. I am just glad that everything is fine, and that you have decided to return to the Go world. For a moment I thought that you would stay in the music world, and forget about everything, and Sai." With each statement the aurora around the girl grew darker and redder; her face was shadow by her hair hiding her from the world around her and the world away from her.

Everyone, but the young genius knew how those words should have never been said out loud, even if they agree with it. There is something you just do not say to the opposite gender. Warily, the watches the girl's reaction, bodies tenses to escape at the moment's notice. Though, no one made any movement other than breathing. Waiting for…

"I see, so Touya Akaira do you mean to say that I am nothing more than an opponent across the board? That you are only nice to me because of my connections to Sai?"

For a minute nothing move, no one breath, even the summer noise outside of the building was silent. The girl stood, her hair still shadowing her face.

Then the young genius who is leading the wave that sweeping the Go world by the storm spoke "of course, what else do you need but Go. Is that not why you chase me into the Go world."

"Apparently, nothing has change with you. Emotion is nothing but baggage for the young lion who bared his fangs against him. Both of you are truly alike, in more ways than one." Tears slowly row down the girls face, but she continues to speak Sai… died for the game he loved, the only regret that he had was that he could not have more time to continue playing. Nothing else matter to him either, but his reputation, and Go." With that the girl walks out the room with her head held high, traces of tear were on her face, but no more tears fell from her eyes.

Toya Akira felt an unsettling dread setting around him as every male in the room look at him with pity. Every woman in the room fixed him with a stares that is between mixture of anger, pity, and more anger on behalf of the one who just left the room.

One by one the female left the room with anger that no word can describe. Their objective was to find and consult the young female Go player who shows that woman can play just as well as man. Man may not have not notice, but since one Shindo Hikaru enter the Go world, most of the male Go player have begun taking their female coworker more seriously and professionally. Even Go client who hire Go pro for teaching game consider skill more of important asset than looks and sizes. They were not about to let someone who will lead them through the glass ceiling go through that alone.

That day all female Go players play their game with a relit fire in their eyes and intensity that smother their opponents. The unfortunate slaughter male Go player knew that this all have to be work of two young generation of monster was responsible for the massacre that occurred that day.

Hours Later

"Touya, I know that it may be hard for you to understand, but there is a life outside of Go, and the people who plays the Go game that you love so much have emotions."

"Ogata san, I do not think you are the appropriate person to be saying that."

"Brat."
