Author's Notes: Damn, school's started already! *weeps bitterly* I was so
hoping for another week of freedom… darn. Thanks for your reviews minna!
^___^ Okay…
Evangeline: Bwahaha… there's no guarantee Hikaru will win! =) But Kanzashi IS weird, that's true. Think of him as 'ice man'. Think Rukawa of Slam Dunk or Tokiya of Flame of Recca… or maybe mmrph *is gagged by an annoyed Hikaru*
Hikaru: Just get on with the story already!
Yeah yeah. And Chuang Yi's coming out with 17 soon!
Tomogirl: Yeah! There should be a HnG section! I was looking UP and DOWN and EVERYWHERE and saying, "Where the heck is the Hikaru no Go section?!" and then "What the heck there's no HnG section?!" -__-;; Yep, Sai left. T_T Depending on whether I get volume 17… maybe Sai WILL come back? Hmm. ^^;;
Darak: Yes, I know the 17th Volume is out already, but I'm in Singapore. _ And the publisher which translates HnG into Chinese isn't done yet, but I hear they'll be done tomorrow! Yay! ^_^ And I'm sorry I'm so slow in writing the chapters! Sorry! *bows repeatedly*
Sia[N]atic: Thanks for your review! ^_^ I find it hard to find HnG fics too… . The only fics I can find are at theGoinstitute… -___- And again… maybe Sai WILL come back? =P Akari X Hikaru? There's no telling… ohohoho! ^^;;
And now, on with the story!
~~
"If you dare, let's have a game!"
Hikaru gulped as he fiddled with his bag strap uneasily. Kanzashi's eyes seemed to bore into him, and he gulped nervously.
"Er…" he stammered hesitantly. Waya nudged him.
"Go on! You show him!"
Hikaru groaned as Waya pushed him into the chair in front of the Go board. "But, I don't want to!"
"Quit wailing like a little kid," Waya chided him. "You're a pro too, right? Go show him!"
Tsutsui watched helplessly as Kaga joined in. "That's right, brat! Personally…" he leaned closer to whisper to Hikaru. "I've never liked Kanzashi, it's always those two and Tsutsui who hover around him calling him 'Boss'."
"KAGA!" Tsutsui yelled indignantly.
"Then why did you bow to him too?" Waya asked Kaga.
"Oh, er, that's nothing, Tsutsui forced me to."
"HEY!"
"Anyway," Kaga turned back to Hikaru. "Go show him who's the real Boss around here.
~~
Waya anxiously watched as Kanzashi started his attack. The game was well underway by now, and Hikaru wasn't doing too well.
//Hikaru's got some trouble in the upper corner.// Waya thought. //Kanzashi's defending pretty well.//
//Ah! Black's vital point was taken!// Tsutsui exclaimed inwardly. //Kanzashi-san must be feeling worried now.//
Kaga chewed nervously on his fan, something he had wanted to try out ever since he had seen Ouza (the guy Touya played against in book 6, I think.) do it.
//This is a very close game,// he mused. //Kanzashi looks angry.//
//Kanzashi Kyo… he passed the test just a year ago. And he has really grown…//
//But is this the extent of his ability?// Waya rubbed his temples distractedly. //Hikaru has managed to surround most areas, and is defending them pretty well.//
//Kanzashi Kyo…//
flashback
Waya watched as his opponent coolly made his move. He clenched his fists angrily.
//This damn idiot! Who does he think he is?!// Waya glared at the person sitting opposite him.
//Being a pro ain't that easy kid…// His mouthed curled into a smirk. //I'm gonna teach him the hard way.//
"Hurry up, Waya-kun." Kanzashi Kyo muttered. "Or have you understood it's impossible for you to win?"
"YOU LITTLE - !"
"Waya-kun!"
The other people present looked around as Waya shouted at Kanzashi. "Don't underestimate me, you stuck-up brat!" Waya yelled as he grabbed Kanzashi's collar and made as if to punch him.
"Waya-kun!" The sensei repeated as he dived in front of the two boys. "Please stop right now! There are other people who have not finished!"
Waya gritted his teeth and sat down reluctantly. Kanzashi resumed his seat as if nothing had happened.
"Let us continue." The sensei nodded at the curious onlookers.
~~
"I have nothing."
Waya heaved a sigh of relief as he started clearing the Go stones off the board. Note: My knowledge is limited thus I do not know the correct term. _ Should read TW's translations more often.
"'Impossible for me to win', eh? Kanzashi?" Waya asked, smiling a little. "Where's your confidence gone to?"
"Waya-kun." Kanzashi looked at him with those cold eyes. "I will beat you next time."
"Well, try your best, Kanzashi!" Waya smirked as he sauntered out of the room.
Once he was sure Kanzashi couldn't see him, he sighed again.
"Half a moku win! Was that close or what?"
Shaking his head, he continued, "Is he really that good?"
"Next time, I'll see."
end flashback
//But that was last time,// Waya thought. //This game with Shindo is not as good as the game he had with me.//
Hikaru looked surprised as Kanzashi made his move. //That kind of play…//
He smiled as memories came flooding back. //That's the way Sai played.//
Memories of the Go-loving ghost played themselves over in his mind as he pondered his next move.
//I played with Sai frequently,// he mused. //So I would counter it… there!//
//Placing it there would result in Kanzashi-san playing defensively,// Tsutsui thought, amazed. //Shindo has made it necessary for Kanzashi to play his next move… No!//
"2-14?" Kaga muttered. //That's way too offensive! It's easy to attack like this!//
//Has Kanzashi gotten nervous against Shindo?//
The question was in everyone's minds as they watched Hikaru start his attack.
~~
"I have nothing."
The words sounded familiar to Kanzashi as he started clearing up the board without another word.
//This loss… it is really mortifying// Kanzashi cringed as he forced back the threatening tears.
//This feels like the last time I lost to that guy. What was his name? Saya? Vaya? Waya. That was it.//
//But I defeated someone.// He cheered up slightly.
//I defeated Touya Akira.//
~tbc~
Author's notes: DAMNDAMNDAMN! Why must this be such a SHORT CHAPTER?! *wails* It's all my fault! Gomen! ;_; Gomen gomen gomen! The next chapter will be out soon, hopefully, if I can concentrate on my work and not run off reading Hunter X Hunter and Naruto fics… O_o…
