A Hikaru No Go fanfic.

I wrote this because I was annoyed by all the Hikaru Akira pairings.

Hannah Chang is actually a very pretty girl, but gets teased mercilessly by her female class mates because of it. To the point where she doesn't even realize that she's pretty. She thinks she is really plain and average. She is of Chinese descent, so she can speak Chinese and English (but mostly English, since she grew up in El Paso.). She has her hair always tied up, which shows off her pretty face shape and her strangely light eyes (topaz colored eyes are light for an Asian). She has beautiful silky black hair, which her mother forbids her to cut. With her hair down, it falls neatly into place just above her waist.

Chapter 1, The Go Board.

Hannah Chang's POV

Hannah has just moved to japan from El Paso.

Ok. It's okay, you made friends with that boy and that girl from school yesterday. They seemed nice, even though they couldn't understand you. Hey, at least you got friends, Hannah. It could be worse. Yeah! Today were going to that boy-Hikaru. Hikaru Shindo's house I think. With that girl. Akari something. Her last name was really long. Hannah, you're lucky that your name even translated into something pretty in Japanese. Who knew that Hannah meant flower in Japanese?

Sitting up in bed, Hannah cheerfully got up and started getting dressed.

Getting invited to someone's house on the first day that you got here is GREAT !Life is going to be SO different now!

Hannah, done dressing, ties her long hair up into a neat ponytail, gives herself one last look into the mirror, and then runs out of her room, down the stairs and out the door. Her house was 3 houses down from the Shindo's Place! She ran down the street until she reached it, and then rang the doorbell three times.

The door opened, revealing the person she took to be Hikaru's mom.

"Ahh. Hana?(these people always said her name weirdly!)" The woman smiled at her.

"Yes!, no wait. Hai! Er. Go.(how did you say sorry in Japanese again?).Go..GOMENASAI!(there we go!)"

The woman gestured to enter, and Hannah stepped in.

"Hikaru?" Hannah asked with a questioning look on her face.(where the heck is that guy?)

"Ah! Hikaru!" The woman smiled, and yelled Hikaru's name really loudly. This action was followed by a really long stream of annoyed sounding Japanese from upstairs. So fast, Hannah just stood there with a curious look on her face. Then, the stairs started shaking, and Hikaru soon came into view, shouted her name and gestured wildly for her to come up too.

Hannah laughed at Hikaru's Hilariousness and ran up after him. It turns out, that they were both the attic, studying some things that she didn't understand. She walked around the attic, and saw a Go board sitting in the middle of a pile of dust. Fascinated, because she had played go a few times with her father before, (though not with a board as fine looking as this) she walked closer, and noted to her alarm, that there were something that looked an awful like bloodstains on the board.

"Why are there bloodstains on this board?" Hannah wondered out loud, lightly brushing the board with the tip of her finger. There was a voice behind her, one that wasn't Hikaru's or Akari's.

"Can you see it?" Huh? Hannah turned around, but there was no one there. "Can you hear my voice?" Now Hannah was really starting to get creeped out. No one here could speak English, or Chinese.

"Uh, Yeah, I can hear your voice, so can you come out now?" Hannah spoke aloud, looking around her to see where the voice was coming from.

"You can. You can. All powerful god, I thank you!" The Voice spoke again. Hannah began panicking, and squatted down on the floor, covering her ears, all the while chanting (don't hear a voice don't hear a voice!).

"Hannah?" Hikaru had come over. He spoke some more things in Japanese, and made a motion that meant he was running downstairs for help. Hannah wouldn't have THAT.

"Hikaru! No!" Hannah stood up, appearing just fine, a bit embarrassed, while waving her arms, in the i-don't-need-anything motion. Then she made a sleeping gesture with her hands, indicating that she just felt tired. Then she laughed. Hikaru and Akari, who had come to her as well, smiled back and walked away.

Of course Hannah didn't really feel A-OK. She was seeing a weird woman with super long hair, in a white dress thingy and a really high black hat, standing by the Go Board. She thought at the woman, since the woman seemed to be able to pick up her thoughts. Excuse me, Mrs, who are you, what are you, why can't anyone else see you, and how can you understand English?

The woman looked incredibly offended as she stomped around and shouted at the top of her voice. I am a MAN! A MALE! How could you possibly mistake me for a WOMAN?

Well, sorr-ie! You have all that pretty hair, and you're wearing a DRESS, of COURSE I thought you were a woman. Hannah was taken aback by the thought that this woman looking creature was a man.

Doesn't matter. The pretty man was smiling again. I can play go again. That's all that matters. I am Fujiwara No Sai. You may call me Sai.

Interesting. Any idea how you speak English? Hannah was now curious. For the circumstances, she seemed very calm.

English? Sai now looked confused as well. What is English? I am speaking to you in Japanese! And you are understanding!

Well, then there must be some kind of spiritual connection or something, 'cause I can't understand a word of Japanese! Wait-Hannah now looked happy. Can you understand what those two people over there, the boy with the yellow bangs, and the girl with the dark brown hair are saying?

Sai looked at her stangely. The boy is telling the girl that he needs to make some money by selling old things, since he got an 8% on his last test. Why? Can you not understand them?

Yes! Thank you God! Hannah was jumping around the attic now, ecstatic.

"Hannah?" Akari had come over, while speaking a jumble of Japanese.

Hey Sai? What's she saying? Hannah turned around to look at Sai, then remembered that Akari couldn't see Sai, and turned back around.

She's asking if you need to go to the restroom. Sai neatly translated.

Well, how do you say, I remembered something I have to do, I need to go home, sorry? And please say it SLOWLY. Hannah silently asked. Sai responded SLOWLY, and Hannah found that she could not understand him, it sounded like a bunch of jibberjabbish.

Hannah smiled and repeated as much of the Jibberjabbish as she could remember back to Akari. Akari nodded, and turned to tell Hikaru that Hannah was going home. Hikaru didn't even turn around, just gave a grunt of acknowledgement. Hannah then ran downstairs, and out the door, to a very surprised Mrs. Shindo.

This is great! Now I have my own spirit! No-my own Translator, even BETTER! Hannah Laughed out loud.

Sai, running by her, on the other hand, looked offended. I am not your pet slave. I will refuse to translate for you until you let me play GO!

Ok, OK. Sheesh, I'll let you play go. Mom isn't coming home from work till 5 anyways. So how good are you? Hannah looked over at Sai for his response.

Why, I was the best of the Hein Era! I was hired to play with the Emperor! Sai puffed up and looked very proud.

Ok then…Hannah was calculating her lie. I'll say that I've studied go all my life, and that I love it. Sai gave her a look. Hannah, why do you need to lie?

Hannah Groaned, frustrated at Sai for not having seen this. In case you Haven't noticed Sai, you don't have a body. No body knows your there. The only way you can play is through me! You point at the spot, and I'll put it there!

Sai's face lighted up, and he smiled real big. Thank you, Hannah! Who do we play first?

Heck, I don't even know where we play! Hannah looked around, and got a shock. They had been talking for so long that she hadn't noticed that they had been running the whole time, so they were already in the middle of the city!

There! There! Sai jumped up and down while pointing to a building. Those are the words for Go! Come on, Hannah, Lets Go!

There? Hannah looked, but she couldn't understand one word. She walked towards the building anyways.

They got to the level of the Go sign, and walked through the door, and were greeted with a short red-haired lady.

The lady spoke something. Sai, what did she say? No-Wait. How do you say I don't know how to speak Japanese? Sai responded with a couple of random syllables, and Hannah again, did her best to copy them. The lady said Oh. Then she held up a 500 yen coin.

I think you're supposed to give her 500 yen. Sai explained. Ohh. Jeez, you have to pay… Hannah got out her wallet and took out a 500 yen coin and handed it to the lady. The lady smiled. Then she gestured to the crowd of old people playing. What? Sai? Little help? Hey! Sai! Sai was crying, so happy to be able to play go again. Hannah smiled. Ok, how do you say, I'm good enough to go pro? Hannah then repeated Sai's sounds to an astonished crowd of old geezers.

She noted that many of them were pushing a boy who looked like her age forward. She looked at the boy with interest. He was really cute! He had bangs with his hair to his chin. Oh! I wonder if he would say yes if I asked hi out? Hannah wondered. Go! Go! Sai was shrieking beside her, so Hannah walked up to the boy, pointed to herself and introduced herself as Hannah.

The boy smiled (so cute!),pointed to himself, and said, "Touya Akira." Followed by some more Japanese. The lady with the red hair spoke then. Hannah knew that she was explaining to Touya Akira that she couldn't speak Japanese. The boy nodded, and smiled at her again. Then he pointed to an empty table. Hannah smiled back at him while they both walked to the table, which was already being surrounded by a crowd of old people.

Hannah assumed that this boy was good, since he had been pushed forward when she said that she could be a Pro. Don't hold back! She glanced at Sai. I don't want to lose to him! She then proceeded to sit down in the chair opposite it the boy's.
