By Flutetuty
Summary:

Disclaimer: I don't own Hikaru no Go.
Prologue
Many thoughts went through this young man's mind as he lay on his futon. He began to repent himself for the sins he had committed during his life.
"Why did you leave me sensei.."
"..I am truly sorry for everything I said.."
"..please come back.."
"...I never wanted you to leave me.."
Sadly, this man lay on his deathbed. He was a truly remarkable individual, but his soul was full of such endless sorrow, even as loved ones and friends tried to comfort him during his final hours.
"…Kami-sama I know that I have committed many sins in this life.."
"..but I beg of you to let me see him once more..."
"…and give me a new purpose in the afterlife…"
As he reached out to his precious go board one last time, his friends looking at him with pity. When he collapsed from an illness during spring, everyone in the room knew he was going to die.
"You must stop pushing yourself, my friend," the doctor begged. "Your condition will deteriorate if you keep this up. I don't want to see you die. You must expel this demon from your body. Stop your foolish speeches and save your strength."
His words were ignored by his dying friend. The young man whispered a final prayer.
"..Kami-sama I must see my sensei once more."
"...please let us see each other and fulfill our promise.."
"..t-towards the Divine Move.."
"..Forgive me ,Sai-sensei… I am truly sorry.."
The young man thought this as he took his last breath and left this cruel world. the young man thought as his friends and love ones began to mourn his death and passing.
"No… no you can't die my lord!"
"Please.. please open your eyes my friend!"
"Shushaku, please open your eyes. Please open your eyes."
"Honinbo Shusaku"
While a bloodstained go-board lay filled with sadness. It secrets and glory was soon to be forgotten with the passing of time.
Flutetuty: This is my first story so positive reviews will be appreciated. I hope you like this story since I have many ideas with this story. Surprisingly, this story randomly appeared in my head after me and my friends were talking about AU fics (doushinji/gender bender) for Hikaru no Go. I'm sure you find it surprising when Sai left Shushaku and not Hikaru. I guess you will have to find out later how a femHikaru and Sai comes into this story. PS: I revised the first chapter. I hope its better.
