Disclaimer: I don't own Hikaru No Go or Inuyasha.
The mainly elderly students of the Go class had thought that the young Shindo boy who'd pulled off the class bully's wig and sent him running would be the most interesting thing to happen to it for a good long time. Until the white haired boy wearing an outfit straight out of a historical film and a hat better suited for an American trucker was dragged in by a junior high student who had altered the skirt of her uniform to the point that it was almost indecent that was.
"I don't need to learn how to play Go!" the boy howled as the girl dragged him into the classroom.
"I told you Inuyasha, I need to study! I can't study if you're constantly bothering me. So, if you insist on coming back with me, you need to find something to do. This class was relatively cheap, and I don't have to buy any equipment for it since Grandpa keeps an old Go board in the closet at home. The fact that you'll have to sit still and be quiet for hours on end is a bonus as far as I'm concerned." the junior high girl who had hauled in the oddly dressed boy said.
"I don't need to learn how to play Go!" the boy howled again.
"You need something to do all day if you insist on hanging around, and I already signed you up for the class!" the girl hollered back.
In response, the boy stormed towards the front of the class where the teacher was preparing to present the first problem of the day for his mostly elderly and middle-aged students to solve.
"You!" the boy said as he grabbed the teacher whom he promptly started dragging toward one of the tables.
"Sit." the boy said as he pulled out one of the chairs and shoved the hapless teacher into it.
The boy then hopped over the table, and seated himself in the chair opposite the one in which he shoved the teacher. Once seated, the boy snapped open the foldable Go board and shoved the container with the black stones at the teacher.
"Play." the boy said impatiently.
The slightly shaken teacher set the first stone down almost tentatively.
The boy set the first white stone down in an almost contemptuous manner.
Thus started one of the greatest trouncings that the Go class had ever seen.
"Makemashta" the teacher said thirty minutes into the game.
"I told you I didn't need to learn how to play Go! I already know how. And, if you ask me to paint, do calligraphy, or play the Koto or the Biwa your family won't find all of the pieces of you even if they searched for a thousand years!" Yelled the red garbed stranger called Inuyasha who'd just made a professional Go player look like a rank amateur as he got up to leave.
&!&!*!&!&
Inuyasha growled as he stormed out of the community center that Kagome had dragged him to for Go lessons. Once again, Kagome had brought up issues he'd rather not deal with without realizing it. His human grandfather had ordered that he be properly educated to "prevent him from being a further embarrassment to the family" after his mother had brought him home following his father's death. Practically from the day he first sat up, he'd had had many lessons on everything a child of noble blood should know drilled into him repeatedly. Amongst those numerous lessons had been the Four Accomplishments.
He'd hated his Biwa and Koto instructor with a passion. And, from that hate, sprung a hate for the instruments themselves.
Painting and Calligraphy had no practical uses in the real world outside of the Court, so he quit practicing once he left, or was kicked out upon his mother's death rather. He wasn't as illiterate as Kagome thought him to be, he just didn't like reading. That, and "modern" Japanese was...confusing.
Go however...
His mother had been the one to teach him how to play Go, and he hadn't played since she had died. It had partially been because he hadn't wanted to play for a long while, but mainly it was because nobody other than his mother would play with him.
He'd almost forgotten how much he'd enjoyed the game.
(**!**)
Author's Note: Even though Inuyasha wasn't accepted by his family, the fact of the matter is that he was at least partially raised in a Court - whether that of a Daimyo, that of a Shogun, or the Imperial court in Kyoto itself is unknown to me at this time - and therefore he most likely would have picked up something of the Four Accomplishments (Playing Go, Painting, Calligraphy, and playing the Lute [there were several stringed instruments that fell into that category]) whether or not anybody besides his mother would have bothered to teach him since the Four Accomplishments were seen as a sign of education and refinement. Canonically, Inuyasha was born sometime in the Kamakura Era which was from 1185 to 1333.
