just a visitor:thanks for your support. Actually I am a Hong Kong, so please excuse my poor english. I hope my english can be improved, it is part of the reasons why I write this fic. As a matter of fact, I have seen a number of Waya/Nase fics, but they are all in Japanese ~___________~

Aeris: Actually, I am thinking of a Waya/nase/Isumi love triangle, but will it work? I hope I can improve my english too.Thanks for reviewing.

Side Story

Chapter 2

The Fated encounter--Waya side

This year was my first year as an Insei. I became an Insei six months ago after studying under Master Morishita for a year. Luckily my performance was not that bad, I was now in first class. The people here were really nice, and all of the them loved Go as much as I did. Not like those people at school...those people at school...I did not want to talk about it. Anyway,I made some really good friends here like Isumi-san.

~*~

"I resign"damnit, I lost again, today I was not in a good condition. Something was bothering me.

"Thank you very much for the game."

Just when I was leaving, Isumi-san came to me.

"Hey Waya, do you know?" Isumi-san asked me.

"Know what?" I turned to look at him.

"Today was the Insei exam."

"really? I don't know. So there will be some new Insei then." I said with a bored tone. I did not really care. I thought the newcomers probably had nothing to do with me, how wrong I was.

"Probably." Insumi-san noticed my indifference in the topic, so he decided to drop the topic. Although I just met him a few months ago, he understood me like no one had before. Isumi-san was the best friend I have ever had. I was the only child in my family, so he was like a big brother to me.

"Waya, is something bothering you? You don't look like yourself" Isumi-san asked with conern.

"What are you talking about?" I tried to look as innocent as I could.

"Do not lie to me"

"Come on!Isumi-san, you will become my mother someday!I was thirsty, I am going to buy a drink." I then walked away, but I could still feel he stared at my back with intense, as if trying to see though my mask.

"Waya, stop acting like the boy you no longer are" I heard him whispered.

~*~

Alas, finally I could escape from Isumi-san. He was so insightful, too insightful. I had my own affairs that did not want anyone to know of, not even him. That nightmare... Then, something caught my eyes, I saw a girl pacing around the corridor. I have not seen her before, so she was probably taking the Insei exam Isumi-san talked about. God, she was so anxious. She reminded me of myself six months ago. I did not pace as she did, but my palm was sweating at that time. And I nearly had a heart attack when my name was called. At that time, I knew I had to pass the exam, otherwise...

Someone crushed into me to stop my thought. I looked at her and found out she was the girl that was pacing around. wow, she must be really...I could not think of a word now...nervous did not seem to describe her well. She had paced such a long way!

"I am sorry. Gomen Nasai" she said uneasily.

"That's okay...don't worry about it." I tried my best to hide a laugh when I thought of how far she had paced. Now I could take a closer look at her, she was a very pretty girl. The colour of her hair was as same as mine, which was quite uncommon. She was about the same age as me, or even older than me. I had always thought pretty girls would only be interested in clothes and cosmetics ...definitely not GO. Maybe this gal was not taking the Insei exam after all?

"I have never seen you before, who are you?"

"ah...I am taking the Insei exam" so she was taking the exam. I felt ashamed of myself, I should not judged people by their appearance. I could not help but frowned at my misjudge.

Thinking of something to talk about, I asked her "o, I see, that's why you are so nervous then. You kept pacing around." I saw her looked kind of embarassed. I was such an idiot!! I had said something silly. She did not want people to know about her nervousness, did she? Maybe I should encourage she a bit

"Don't worry! Try your best! I am sure you would do it! Have faith in yourself!" I tried to smile the best smile I could. I did not feel like smiling. There was nothing worth smiling at recently. Damnit, I thought about that again!

"Nase Asumi!" a deep voice came from the room

"o...that's me! I gotta go, nice to meet you"

"goodbye, I hope I will see you in the institute!" I then went away. So her name was Nase Asumi, a nice name. I hoped she would pass the exam.
