Chapter Fifty-Five: toya koyo's Playing Sai?!

Akira's POV

Mom asked me how long I'll be at the Study Session today. I just told her I'll be home late and that I may be home for dinner. She hadn't said anything else, never mentioned the Hospital either.

"What about father?" I asked since she wouldn't say anything about it. "I was told not to go.

He wants to play Internet Go without interruptions" she told me. I was surprised wondering why. She was worried since he'll be leaving the Hospital tomorrow so he should be getting some rest.

She asked why Go was all dad and I think about making me gulp. "I-I'll see you later then" I told her my collar suddenly a bit too tight.

When I got on the Train I was glad that dad was getting out tomorrow. I was really worried when he collapsed ten days ago. I was supposed to play Hikaru in an Official Game that day.

He said he doesn't mind and that he was also worried but the next time I can play him is next Month. The Wakajishisen Tournament.

I can watch his ProMatches till then and see if he's close to playing how he used to. It won't be too long and I can always play him when we aren't busy. 'Which is rare now' I frowned leaning my head on the pole.

I should ask Hikaru if he said anything to dad the other day. This is the first time he's been absorbed in NetGo, and he hated it at first.

Hikaru's POV

I turned on my Computer seeing my YouTube Profile. I closed it before I opened the Link to the NetGo Site. The Touya Family is so stubborn it's annoying at times.

I signed into Sai's Profile before I clicked down. He wasn't there yet but I looked at Sai.

His eyes were closed so I'm guessing he's getting ready to play when it's time to. I finally found 'toya koyo' so I clicked the button. I selected the right areas and the conditions Kouyou gave Sai are set.

I saw that Kouyou was Black before I saw the Board in my head (1). "Are you ready or no Sai?" I asked making him open his eyes.

He pointed to where he wanted me to go when Kouyou placed his. I placed the Stones when I was supposed and I kept seeing the viewers go up. People really want to see if it's really 'Sai' and Kouyou Touya.

I got a Four-Way Call from Alann, Frank, and Li which isn't very odd right now. As I placed the Stones where Sai told me I talked to them.

"Yes I'm playing Imitation… I played Imitation against him in two Matches. The first one we didn't finish because I coughed up blood and had to leave. The other one had a high Handicap" I told them.

They were asking so many questions so I'm glad Sai isn't paying attention to my call. "I'm just glad you're curious, though I thought I taught all of you how to read a Game?" I asked knowing I did.

"Yes you did but you also taught us many other things" Alann told me. "What? Did your lessons get turned around?

From how you're talking it sounds like they have Alann" I told him jokingly. "So Sai's playing an even Game against Touya-Meijin because you didn't finish the first?

And there was a high Handicap on the second so it wasn't a fair Match?" Li asked making me smile. "You're paying attention at least" I told him chuckling lightly. Sai decided to attack so I clicked where he pointed on the Laptop's screen.

After a while Li asked if Kouyou was doing exactly what Sai wanted. "I think he is but I don't know why" I told them.

"Now who's not listening to the lessons?" Alann asked making me chuckle as I clicked places on the Board. "Sai's cautiously attacking with Boushi which is dangerous for Sai after a while. It's Kouyou Touya's Game for a bit" I told them.

Akira's POV

The Study Group was talking about my father collapsing again from traveling. The young man to my right said that that was why he mentioned us young people taking a Title or two from him.

A red-head was late to the group and was surprised to see me when I greeted him. They mentioned how I've been helping them all day today. He asked how my father was doing.

"He's doing fine" I smiled before the man who invited me, the one to my right, spoke. He asked if he even saw the fourth Jyudan Match.

"My father's getting out of the Hospital in two days. He's likely playing NetGo because that's the only way he can play there" I told them. The one who invited me turned on his PC when I said he may be playing right now.

When he looked for my dad he had a lot of spectators apparently. When they looked to see who he was playing I had already recognized the playing style.

Why is Hikaru playing my dad as Sai? There's no reason to. Standing up I heard them ask who Sai was.

They thought he was playing a Pro but that isn't true. He's playing someone who Hikaru must've played despite him dying 5000 years ago.


A/N: Hello, I finished writing this at 9:50 on March 16, 2017.

1) I just realized I hate not typing things down. I can't remember the type of Computer I had Hikaru got in this story. I know I wrote it down I just don't know which chapter and where.

I do hope you like this chapter and story and will continue reading, see you next time.
