Disclaimer: I don't own Hikaru no Go

A/N: Here's another chapy! I'm currently speechless right now so yeah… hope you like this chap and I apologize if my grammar irritates you. .

Chapter 13

It was Saturday when Waya, Isumi, Naze and Honda went to the mall. Naze had dragged them there so that they could at least look for a gift for Fuku's coming birthday.

When they reached the third level of the mall they gaped at the people at the game center. There were teenagers, children and even middle aged man to elder people.

"So many people!" Naze mumbled in awe.

"I wonder what's up." Waya wondered before walking towards the game center. He was a crowed place and asked a teenager who was holding a skateboard.

"Ne, what's up?" Waya asked.

"Hm? You don't know?" The teenager eyed Waya for a while. "There is this game that was released by Gravity and Triggersoft. I think it was some kind of a board game but I think it isn't boring at all."

"What's the title of the game by the way?" Isumi asked as he stood beside Waya. Naze and Honda were walking towards them.

"Oh, it's NetGo." A middle aged man answered them. "It's the hype version to be exact."

"NetGo?" The insies uttered in bewilderment. Waya was not satisfied with the answer he got from the two so he walked nearer to the booth with the sign 'NetGo Hype Version'.

"Good afternoon." A female clerk greeted him as he reached the booth.

"Ano… What's inside?" Waya asked. Isumi, Naze and Honda were looking inside through the door.

"Oh it's a testing for the game. You can play inside if you wanted too." The clerk said to him and passed him a blue card with some number on it. "That is a test card. To start on playing enter that code as your i.d. and you can start."

While the others were being given by another blue card he entered first. He stopped in his track when he saw what was inside. There were more than a hundred computers and almost all of them are being occupied by people of different age.

He looked for a vacant computer as the others also scattered to look for one. He saw a man stood and left the computer. He walked towards the vacant computer and sat at the chair. He entered the seven digits number on the text bar and log-in.

What happened next was something he didn't expected. A small window pop-up and asked if he was male or female. He clicked the male and clicked the next button at the lower part. The next part was for him to choose what hair style his character would have and what colored it would be. He picked a short brown hair and named the character as 'WAYA'.

He chuckle a little as a picture of a running white suit person was being chased by a female soldier shouting 'Please wait up!'

Then he was log-on. His character was standing near a post. Next to him was a character named 'Isumi'. He was about to type something if it wasn't for a fairy wearing a blue dress told him that she will start the tutorial. The fairy told him the basic about the game and in the end told him how to challenge an opponent online. 'Isumi' next to him was only standing so that means he was also being tutored by the fairy.

When the tutorial was done he immediately challenged 'Isumi'. He was surprised when the characters knelt down in the Japanese traditional seating position. His character brought out a goban from a bag and settled it down.

Minutes later Waya was enjoying himself by using the emotions the characters can perform. So even though he lost to 'Isumi' he had enjoyed himself.

Time pass and Naze had informed them that they need to find a gift for Fuku. Waya and Honda protested and said they want to play more while Isumi stood there watching them. Though deep inside Isumi, he was also wishing he could play more.

With a dejected faces, Waya, Isumi, Naze and Honda came out of the room. Waya was about to complain again but he saw something at the corner of his eyes. A pile of CDs were on a corner and being sold by a male clerk. His eyes sparkled as he was the title. It was NetGo Hype version.

"Ne, Naze I thought of something Fuku might like." Waya exclaimed from behind the others. Isumi and Honda turned around while Naze turned around and to Waya to speak up.

Waya didn't spoke though; he just pointed his thumb to a corner with a pile of CDs.

"Waya, that's a great idea!" Honda exclaimed and ran towards the booth. Naze seemed to think for a minute before nodding. "I admit the game was pretty cool." Naze mumbled before following the trail Honda left behind. "It seems you like the game so much." Isumi said beside Waya who just grinned. "The same can be said to you. I know you like it too. Hell who wouldn't. It's much better than the original NetGo. It has more features and animation that makes it more entertaining." Waya said to Isumi as they walked towards the booth. "I agree with you." Isumi agreed. He hadn't played NetGo at all but he liked this version of it.

Waya on the other hand was thinking of introducing this game to all of the insie in the class.

----------------------------

Ogata Seiji stared at the teen in front of him. He was now training Hikaru while Akari and Shinku played a match beside them. He had come to a decision that these kids were not at all a burden if he trained them. The nine-dan was surprised though when Hikaru passed a small leather covered notebook to him last few weeks ago. When he opened it he gaped at for a while on what was inside.

It was a journal that was apparently written by Sai himself. As he scanned the pages the hand writing seems to become more different than of the first. He looked at Hikaru and Hikaru caught the question that Ogata was about to ask.

"It was originally Sai's journal on his moves. Most of them were his basic and he still uses them today." Hikaru said to his current sensei.

"Hmm… didn't it pass to your mind that his Go might change?" Ogata nine-dan asked the still bleached bang hair teen.

"No, because one's Go won't change but may be improve. The journal can help you a little but it will be up to you on how you will counter Sai's hands. The notes in the journal are mainly about how Sai will use his hands and some possible counters on them. How you will choose to react is up to you. I can only give tips." Hikaru said to the pro who fix his eyeglasses.

"So the moves here are Sai's basic hands?"

"Yes."

"You had no more other information on this?"

"Nope… that's all I got other than Sai's kifus from the Go magazine."

Ogata nodded and told them that day that he will start to teach them. Hikaru on the other hand seems to debate with himself if he should be happy or miserable. Happy that he's new sensei didn't asked more about his collected information about Sai. On the other hand miserable because his selfishness.

Before Hikaru gave the journal to Seiji, he tore the pages that have Sai's plans and strategist. He typed all of the information on his laptop and created another journal with all of the information. Hikaru's mind screamed that he should be and would be the only one to defeat Sai and no one else.

Ogata's mind came to the present as Hikaru played a hand. A very daring one. Ogata Seiji smirked and responded to the hand. Seconds later Hikaru bowed his head and muttered "I give up."

"My turn! My turn!" Shinku exclaimed. Akari and his game was finished faster that Hikaru and Seiji's.

"Hikaru let's play." Akari asked Hikaru who grinned at her.

Moments later the four Igo players were playing and Shinku glanced at Hikaru.

"Maybe I should give him the tips uncle Seiji told me."
