Hello. This is my first time writing a Hikago fic. I've only read the manga
up till ch. 58 and I might not know some stuff. Please bear with me.
This takes place when Hikaru became an insei and was training for the Young Lions Tournament.

Chapter 1
*Ring Ring*
The school bell rang and Akari stood up from her seat. She lightly stepped outside and the spring wind whiffed her hair.
Akari looked around, hoping to see someone she thought of everyday.
When she failed in doing so, Akari let out a disappointed sigh and turned in the direction of her house.
While passing her neighbors' houses, Akari was reminded of how she and Hikaru used to play near these houses all the time.
She stopped in front of Hikaru's house and asked herself: When had their friendship start to diminish into nothingness? A small tear ran down the girl's cheek and she quickly wiped it off.
*Flashback*
"Hikaru, it's raining! We don't have an umbrella!"
"Don't worry! Just run real fast towards home!"
It certainly was raining very hard.
"But I can't see anything! It's too dark."
"Here!"
Hikaru extended his hand and Akari took it. He pulled her forward and they ran as fast as they could, laughing at the whole situation.
*Flashback End*
Another tear ran down Akari's face. It seems like it was ages ago, she thought. But it truth it was only two years ago, when they were in 5th grade.
Taking a step back, Akari looked up at the second floor of Hikaru's home and saw that the light was on.
I wonder what Hikaru is doing in there, thought Akari. Then she got angry at the thought that it could be nothing else but Go.
Go separated them completely. When Hikaru got interest in the game, it made a very big gap between them and Akari felt that she could not jump over it.
What she needed was a bridge to get over to the other side. No matter how big the gap, the bridge could take her safely on the other side where she can reach Hikaru.
No such bridge probably existed, thought Akari. Hikaru will go forward on his path, while I remain where I am now.
It is so sad.
"Akari, is that you?"
"Yes, mom, I'm home."
Akari quickly ran to her room, so her mom wouldn't see her tearstained face.
Vigorously, Akari tried to wipe her face with her sleeve, but more tears leaked out.
A little smile formed on her face.
I'm crying because of that idiot, she thought amusingly. It seems so childish and stupid. I never thought that I'd feel this way toward him. It felt like a very good "friend"ship. Nothing coming in between us. Well, I was wrong.
He is annoyed by me, she thought. He doesn't like my company. He'd be happier if I never spoke to him again.
Akari slid down on the floor and pressed her legs against her chest. She closed her eyes and put her forehead on her knees.
Hikaru's face swam before her in the darkness. She quickly opened her eyes and found that she was still in her room, all alone.
Do I mean ANYTHING to him at all? Asking him directly might sound rude. but its better knowing that wondering.
