(I DON'T OWN HIKARU NO GO)
Title= Hikaru No Pro Go
Chapter 1: Post-Hokuto Cup
Shindou Hikaru sat brooding about his lost against Ko Yeong Ha in a taxi between Touya Akira and Yashiro Kiyoharu, his teammates in the recent Hokuto Cup.
"Shindou! Did you hear what I just said?" shouted Kurata Atsushi, the manager of the team from the front passenger seat.
Shindou looked up quizzically, only to receive a sigh from Kurata before he repeated himself.
"When we get back to Touya's house, we'll review your game first, all right?"
Shindou merely nodded his head then went back into his own world, earning worried looks from the teens on both sides of him.
" If Touya had responded here, maybe he would- SHINDOU ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING!"
Shindou jerked upright and apologized automatically; he had been too busy thinking about Sai that he had missed nearly all the reviews.
Kurata tried to calm Yashiro who was fuming by suggesting that they order in dinner. It has been 4 hours since they started reviewing the games and he felt that they needed a break, not that he didn't want to continue, but Shindou looked like he was about to collapse.
"Let's order sushi then move on to Yashiro's game, I want to get a good night's rest before going home tomorrow after breakfast."
Shindou leaned back on the folded futon and tried to hold back his tears for the millionth time today, he had missed Sai dearly, and it did not help that he felt he disappointed Sai by losing to Ko Yeong Ha.
15 minutes later came Touya carrying 6 boxes of sushi, Kurata smacked his lips before grabbing three which was for him. Not long after, Yashiro and Touya were saying 'Itadakimasu'.
It was after his first bite that Touya realized that Shindou was still leaning against the futon, not touching his food. He went over and nudged his rival who was staring into space.
"Huh…Oh!"
Shindou stirred then turned to look at Touya with blank eyes before reaching for his dinner, Touya stared at him in awe.
It was 11 o'clock in the morning when Shindou finally stepped into his own room; he threw his rucksack across the room, leaped onto his bed and poured his feelings out. After a few ten minutes, Shindou drifted off to sleep.
The God of Go sat on his magnificent throne, in front of him was a table with an orb on top. In the corner lay a gleaming go board with the stones. The God of Go always wanted an equal to play with, but had found none. However, there are some people who might stand a chance such as Shindou Hikaru. And for that reason did he send Fujiwara no Sai to him, but he did not expect Shindou to be this dejected when it comes to this time it was even worse than the last time.
When he saw Shindou's teary face through his orb, it was the final straw. He could not let Shindou's talent go to waste. Urgently, he mumbled a few words and Fujiwara No Sai appeared before him in a puff of smoke.
"Fujiwara No Sai, do you wish to be reunited with Shindou Hikaru?" asked The God of Go in a booming voice.
"Yes sir, my only wish is to remain with him until he ceases to exist." Answered Sai.
"Very well, I will send you back to him; however this will be your very last chance. Afterwards, I guarantee that you will pass away with true peace?" Sai nodded while still kneeling.
"I will also grant you a 'spell' so that when you say the word, only one other person will be able to see and hear you besides Shindou Hikaru. Hopefully this will find me an equal soon."
"What word sir?" questioned Sai
"You will know when the time comes, now, go and save this young and nurturing talent."
With that The God of Go murmured something and once again, Sai disappeared in a puff of smoke.
