So, it has been ten years since he has last seen her.
Huh.
Shindo Hikaru, Akira admitted warily, is consistently looming over his mind. The first few months after she went notoriously missing was probably the hardest time to keep himself sane from all the questions bombards inside his head. The more matches she lost because she didn't show up, the more irritated he felt. Even during the title matches he were supposed to put all his focus on, Akira still found himself picturing the Shindo's cocky smirk up in his mind. And though he managed to forcibly pull his conscious and attention back to the game in front of him and won without any major difficulty, it didn't make it any better. Touya Akira was frustratingly, furiously worried about the blonde.
'What the heck are you doing, Shindo?' Thought Akira, inevitable seething inside.
He even went so far as following her to the school she was studying in, hoping to push her back from whatever caused the series of losses. However, he was shocked to hear from Shindo's friend, Akari, if he had remembered correctly, that the girl who declared herself his rival had transferred to another school due to something that happened to her family.
He had missed her by four days.
Four-freaking-days.
'But Shindo stopped coming to play in Go matches even before.' He realized. 'It's not just because of her family problems.'
Regardless, he had never seen her again.
Now, Touya Akira was a 9-dan pro who had won over too many matches against too many opponents to count, and the fact that he had only lost to a few people, including his own father and Ogata Meijin, made him rather terrifying. Most people, mostly Go players, would say that the 25-year-old's life was blissfully successful and fulfilled.
The man himself knew otherwise though.
'Where are you, Shindo?'
