Disclaimer: I don't own Hikaru no Go, but when I take over the universe, It shall be mine.

This was an old fic I had written a long time ago, it's been modified. Be kind, it's my first Hikaru no Go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
As Hikaru Shindou came home, his mother was in the kitchen. "Hikaru!! You have a visitor! It's one of your friends. He was walking around in the rain. I don't know why, though. He's the one with the long black hair." She chirped happily.

//Black hair?// Hikaru thought to himself. //Touya?!//

"He was wearing pretty weird cloths.....well, he's upstairs asleep. I hope, bless his little heart!! He was soaked through and through!! I let him borrow a pair of your shorts."

Hikaru ran up to his room, he had to know who this person was!! As he neared his door, he heard a muffled sneeze and the rustle of cloth. The person was apparently getting a cold.

He opened the door to see the person had wrapped themself in his sheets and was sitting by his goban. A hand shot out and placed a few stons on the board, he was recreating a game. The very same one whe he had fought against Touya-sensei! Only one other person had been in the room with him when that game had taken place!

"Sai?" At this the cloaked figure looked up.

"Hikaru!! Your home!" Sai lunged at Hikaru, he fortunately hit his mark. He had hit the blonde boy to were he was on his backside. He was sitting on Hikaru.

"What happened to you Sai? You're alive!" Sai blinked a few times and then nodded. Sai still shivering, and only clad in a pair of Hikaru's black shorts. They had flames shooting up each leg. He was undoubtedly Hikaru's age, something that Hikaru had only dreamed about. Sai! His age! His hair was still the long length it had always been, but if possible, his eyes were larger. They showed the innocence of a child's.

"It happened after I had left you, Hikaru." Sai's voice was wavering slightly. Hikaru wrapped his arms around his close friend. "I've missed you, Sai! I didn't realize how much until after you had left and it was too late to tell you."

Hikaru's mom knocked on his door, "Your clothes are dry!" Sai made his way to the door and took his outfit from Hikaru's mom. "Arigatou, Shindou-san." He spoke fluent Japanese. This made Hikaru's mom's heart soar.

"Dear child, You don't have to call me that! You may call me mother if you like!!" Hikaru thought his mom was pushing it. "MOTHER! Quit torturing Sai!!" Hikaru whined. His mother pouted slightly, "I'm not torturing him!! He was out on the streets wandering around like a lost puppy! I felt sorry for him!"

Sai laughed at the sight befor him. Mother and son bickering like old friends was so funny! It had never been that way when he was growing up!

Quickly turning away from Hikaru she told Sai that he could stay at their house as long as he liked. She left the room, giving the two boys privacy.

Sai turned away from Hikaru and proceeded to change into his clothes. Hikaru blushed and politely looked away. "Hikaru, can we play go??" He said with his usual hyperness.

//Still the same Sai,// thought Hikaru happily.

"Of course I'm still the same Sai! I think...." He quickly looked over himself, and then nodded. "Yup! Still the same Sai! Except younger." He let out a short laugh.

"You heard my thought?!"

"You didn't say that outloud?" Sai was getting confused.

"No, I didn't. I guess we still have our bond!" This made Sai's confused expression turn into a broad smile. "Can we play go?" Sai chirped again.

"Sure, Sai." He moved to sit on the opposite side of the goban. "You want to go first?"

"YAY~! We're going to actually play against each other!(1)" Chirped Sai. Sai placed a stone on the goban, Hikaru matched his move. Sai put the all too familiar fan to his lips, he had one of his usual sly smiles hiding behind it. "You've improved so much, Hikaru!!"

As their game played out they became more familiar with each other. //It's just like it use to be,// thought Hikaru. "I really did miss you Sai."

"Yes, I know." Sai place the final finishing stone on the board, finishing the game. "I won again Hikaru~!"
