Yeah, a little weird, and I sorta was kinda implying that Sai was helping Hikaru make some of his moves, not all. Please enjoy!

"What was that for!" Shindo yelled at Sakura. "I can't talk about it here," she sighed as she got up and left the table, waiting for the next match to start.

Chapter 3 ------

She eventually played a higher 6 dan that won the tournament last year. "New comer eh? This'll be a piece of cake," he said as he stretched and cracked his fingers. "What makes you think that I'll be easy to beat, if I've beaten Shindou and Touya? It's really just a lame tournament now that my challenges are beaten," she said as she looked at the man. He had to be no older than 18. "Yeah, well, if I made it this far that means I have to be pretty good…" he remarked back. "Yes, I suppose so, but I doubt you would have won against Touya," Sakura said as she glared at him. He gulped. "Let the match begin," the announcer announced. "Onegaishimasu," the two bowed.

Sakura's opponent was really scared of her. He was making worse and worse moves as the game progressed. 'I can't do this, she's right, there's no way I can beat her if she beat Touya…' he thought as he looked for a place to place his stone. "I resign," he bowed. "Arigato gozaimasu," Sakura bowed as she cleaned up her stones.

"Mitsu!" Shindou shouted as he caught up to her. "What?" she asked as she turned to meet his gaze. "Why did you make Touya forfeit? As if it wasn't bad enough I beat him…" Shindou said. "I did no such thing, I was playing my best game as I expected from him, he should have done better, I bet his father won't like it when he hears about it…" Sakura said as she left Shindou behind.

'I can't forgive the Go world for ruining my family name. Every year, we've had to change it…I hate the name Takamoto…I won't have that as my last name…' Sakura cried before she went to bed.

Shindo had actually woken up early that morning to go find out who the girl was, something wasn't right. "Sai, do you know anything about her? Like what's her problem? She didn't have to make Touya cry like that…though I admit, that was a little funny…but that's not the point!" Shindo asked the spirit Fujiwara no Sai.

"There is a certain aura around her, one only a serious Go player would have. I have only encountered few who could posses this aura…you should get to know her more…" Sai said as he watched Shindo make his bed somewhat.

"Yeah, I'm sure we'll bump into her sometime soon," Shindo said as he flashed a smile Sai's way.

Like I said, a little OOC at times, and I'll try to think of a way to include her past into it. Please review!
