Chapter 6 : His last secret
"After I told him about Sai's departure. Hikaru went frantic. He called Sai but Sai didn't answer. He kept calling and calling, but Sai remained silent. Hikaru thought it was his fault because he had dominated most of the time so Sai hadn't had a chance to play that much."
"So he decided to stop playing," Akira whispered.
"Yes, he thought if he didn't play, Sai would come back."
"That's when he has missed all his games," Kouyo added.
"Yes."
"Why did he start playing again? Did Sai finally come back?" Akira asked. This question would reveal all mystery of Shindou Hikaru.
"No. Sai has n't been awake since, not until today."
"Then why?" Then Kenji disclosed the last secret.
"There was a guy…he's a pro too. Umm…Isu…Isumu?" Kenji didn't remember the name.
"Isumi-san?" Akira knew Isumi; he was one of Hikaru's friend.
"Yes. Isumi. He came to visit Hikaru asking for a game, just one game for his sake."
"What did Shindou do?" Akira asked impatiently.
"He played with him. Then he realized that Sai was still with him, Sai was in his Go. As long as he played Go, Sai would always be with him," Kenji smiled softly.
"Then he came back to the Go world," Kouyo ended the story.
"Yes."
The three of them sat in silence without speaking to consider all this.
"Maybe I shouldn't have told you but it's no use crying over spilt milk. I have to leave now." Kenji stood up, heading to the door. But before he walked out the room, he paused.
"Ironic, isn't it? Touya Junoir was the reason Sai was brought to life while Touya Senoir was the reason he disappeared." Then Kenji left.
Both Touyas lacked the power to say anything. They remained still, sitting without saying a word.
A/N : hmm..this chapter is very short, isn't it? I think the reason I prefer a short chapter because I read manga too much. Compare to novel, manga is shorter, right? In manga, there is about 12 pages-long in a chapter only.
Special Thank: rebecca
kathystgqvk : thank you, I think that most of people like "I'll be beck" for the same reason. But for myself, I like "Finding Seiji" especailly chapter 2.
Rianna : You'll know soon. I mean VERY SOON.
