This is it, this game is mine. Waya thought as he captured Hikaru's black stone. There is no escape, I win!

No, there's still a way but I wonder if Hikaru can see it or not. Sai looked worriedly at his sole successor. That man's words must bother her more than I thought, if not, she wouldn't make such a mistake and be in a difficult situation like this. The Heian ghost truly desperately didn't want the blonde to lose this game, he didn't want her to follow his footsteps…his mistake. He once had lost the control of his concentration, as the result of that, he had lost one of the most important games of his life. He didn't want the tragedy to repeat itself again…especially to Hikaru, his beloved Hikaru. Watching his only little sister suffering the same bitter pain which he had experienced before would be his worst nightmare ever. I know you can do it, Hikaru, Stay calm and you'll see it.

Calm down, Hikaru, there's always be the way. Where is it? Where is it? The path to survive?

………

Sai, What he would do he played this game?...If I were Waya, I would think that I've already succeeded in killing the black stone…but then…when I looked up from the board to Sai…Sai would smile and…! As Sai's cold smile flashed into her head, Hikaru came to the sudden realization, she elegantly picked up a stone and gracefully place it on the board.

/Pachi/

Useless! I've thought of that move! Then I have to…

/Pachi/ Waya secured his upper-right corner.

/Pachi/ His opponent attacked his white stone in a classy manner at once.

/Pachi/

/Pachi/

Eh? What the? The boy in funky clothes had just noticed there was something…wasn't right here.

Hikaru finally make it, it's a hard path to walk but she still makes it. The long-haired gorgeous man only smiled tenderly as Hikaru's dead black stone was now revived.

/Pachi/ the red-haired insei clumsily played at the lower-left corner.

/Pachi. The relaxed girl in a light orange ¾ sleeved Tee with V neck and dark wash denim skirt rapidly countered.

…………...

…………….

Damn it! Clenching his fists, Waya bit his lower lip nervously. He tried to control to his trembling body as he knew he was losing, giving to the game to his crush. Out of the blue, the tide swiftly changed, it was the blonde who got the domination, not him, not anymore.

Playing with the stone, the boy with a messy hair was having a hard time, What should be his next hand? I should secure this corner….. But if I don't connect my stone at the center, I'll lose for sure. Damn it! I can't move!...Sensei, what should I do?

" You can pass the exam, Waya," Morishita had told him when he visited his house before the exam started, " I can say it over and over again, You can pass the exam, I guarantee it,"

Sensei….I…I

This game shows a huge difference between Hikaru and Waya-kun. Sitting by his student's side, Sai remarked without a sound.

It was hard to accept the painful reality but Waya knew he couldn't reverse the flow of the game back to his side, he lost. The black stone that I thought I've already killed it comes back to life…and now I'm cornered. Letting the white stone falling into the Goke, the gloomy boy in a baggy jeans bowed in defeat, " I resign, Thank you for the game," he whispered faintly.

" Thank you for the game," Hikaru said in return.

" Thank you, Waya-kun," the supportive ghost with clear blue turquoise eyes thanked the boy too, " You played well,"

"……….."

" Waya-kun,"

" Don't worry, Hikaru," Sai knew what on the girl's mind, she was a very kind girl indeed, " Waya-kun is a true player, he will overcome it like the way you used to,"

The bleach bangs insei still remembered clearly how miserable she had felt when she got the 6 straight losses in her early insei days, she too, had faced the tragic disappointment before, " Yes, you're right," She got up and gave her low-spirited friend a considerate look, "If I can do it, so can you, Waya-kun," She turned around and was about to walk off.

" Sai," Waya called quietly.

" Eh?" Turning back immediately, Hikaru almost missed a breath.

" Yes?" By instinct, Sai replied.

" He's a very famous Net-Go player," the poor boy clarified, " We talked about him before, remember?"

"………." After exchanging a glance with her mentor, the sociable chic blonde decided to go back to her seat. She sat and stayed silent to listen to her friend.

" This game is very a good game," Waya stated honestly, " As good as the game played by Sai,"

Hikaru's emerald eyes opened wide in surprise. Eh? Me? As good as Sai?

" Though your style isn't completely the same as him, it's not completely different," Speaking in a well-judged tone, the sharp-eyed boy pointed out wisely, " Both of you modernize Shuusaka's old style and come up with a new tricky move,"

" Wow, he has a good instinct, I must admit it," Sai said with admiration.

Still staring at the game, Waya tried to control his feeling. He had to pull himself together, there was no other choice, he couldn't afford another loss.

" ……Thank you very much, Waya-kun," Raising to her feet, Hikaru stood still for seconds before she uttered gently, " It will be great if 2 out of 3 new pros come from Morishita group, don't you think so?"

" !" Waya looked up straight away as soon as he heard it, the positive girl only smiled cheerfully and set off.

A/N : I took 3 days thinking about this game. I couldn't decide how Hikaru win the game. Should she totally crush Waya? Or should she win by a half moku? Then I decided to let them play this legendary game, which is the same game that Hikaru-boy plays against Waya in the Pro exam. However, since Hikaru-girl is better than Hikaru-boy, she probably beat Waya easily so I gotta find the way to force her to make some mistakes, that's why she got frustrated because of the strange man's words. This chapter is 993 words-length.

This fic becomes the longest fic I've ever written with 33980 words ( currently), 176 reviews! While, " He is back" got 107, " Fly me to Polaris" got 104 and " Finding Seiji" got97 reviews. Yongha! Seiji! We gotta do something!

Rebbi : " I'm glad that you dropped the Isumi-san cheating part" In this fic, she totally crushed him.

Eadna Ohn: "Quit update at 11:15 pm" ? Hmm, it's a time differance then? I always update at 12 am here...Okay, I'll update earlier then, how about an hour earlier than usual?

dragon shadows: "loved the end of this chapter" Glad you like it. 'Coz it's quite a short chapter,right? But I really want to end it that way.

Kinlin Child of Youma: "Oh Hikaru-chan had met Kadowaki? Wa will you do a flashback about it?" She met him, everything happened just like the way it is in Anime so I decided not to mention it here. Because this fic is long enough with out him. Maybe I'll write about him in the continuation, who know?
