Cahpter 12: Perliminary Rounds

The preliminary rounds were about to start an hour. Chiyuki, Waya, Isumi, and Nase were the only ones there so far. "Wow, I'm really nervous." said Nase.

"Don't worry Nase, you'll do fine." encourage Isumi who kissed her. This made Waya nervous. He wants to tell Chiyuki in person about his feelings.

"Waya-kun, can you play a game with me? I'm really nervous myself."

"Um, sure Chiyuki."

Shindou house:

Hikaru was watching T.V. He was so bored. He tried calling Chiyuki's cell phone, but she won't answer.

'Hikaru, let's play a game! Please!' pleaded Sai

"No, I just feel like doing nothing. School will start soon. So I have to study." Hikaru got up from the couch. "We're going to the library."

---

All the insei were now here. "Okay, we'll start our games." announced the sensei. Everyone started playing.

Lunch:

Chiyuki, Waya, and Fuku were sitting at the same table. Waya was angry though. "Waya, what's wrong?" asked Fuku. "Did you make a big mistake the first round?"

"Yeah, I'm losing to Nase." Waya started looking around the room. He noticed that the other inseis were nervous too. Then he saw a calmed kid reading. Then he realized it. "Akira Touya?"

"Hm, yes?" he said.

"Akira-san?" said Chiyuki. When it was him she hugged him. "Akira-san! It's been a while!"

"Good to see you too Chiyuki."

"Chiyuki, you know him?" asked Waya.

"Yeah, he and I go to Kaio."

"YOU'RE IN THE SAME SCHOOL TOGETHER!" yelled out Waya.

"Geez Waya, what's wrong?" asked Fuku.

"I was playing internet Go a few days ago. I thought he was a pro until he said 'I'm pretty strong aren't I?' What an idiot."

"I doubt a pro would say something like that." said Akira.

"NO ONE IS TALKING TO YOU!" yelled out Waya. "But what I have to worry about is my games. Tomorrow is # 12 then #7"

"I'm number 7." said Akira.

A few days later:

Waya and Chiyuki were walking to the 20th World Amateur Go Championships. As they walked in, there were a lot of Americans. 'It's a good thing I can speak English.' thought Chiyuki.

"Are you Sai?" asked an American.

"No, and who is this 'Sai'? responded another American.

'Hm, they know about Sai also.' thought Chiyuki. "Waya-kun, I'm going over there for a second." Chiyuki walks to the Americans. "Excuse me, do you know about Sai?"

"Yes, he's been all over the internet. He even beat a pro from Korea."

'A pro from Korea? It can't be Hikaru.' "Um, thank-you for that information." Chiyuki walks to Waya who just got hit with a fan from their sensei.

"Waya, come with me. Chiyuki, I need your help." said the sensei. They walked over to a table. Waya sat down seeing he's playing Go with an American.

"Waya here is a semi-pro." sensei said.

"Oh really!"

"Sensei! I can't speak any English!"

"Don't worry Waya-kun; I guess I'll just translate everything."

"Put down 6 stones for him." she said.

As they played, Waya heard an American say 'Sai'. "Excuse me Sir I-

"What did you say?"

"CHIYUKI! HELP ME!"

Akira walked over. "Hello Chiyuki, I hear people talking about this 'Sai'. Who is he?"

"It's none of your business. Go away." said Waya.

"Sai is a player in the internet. People say he's really strong. He beat a pro from Korea." responded Chiyuki.

"Was that the player that Waya was talking about yesterday?" asked Akira.

"Yes he was. I played him before. For some reason he reminded me of onii-chan."

"You mean Hikaru Shindou?" Akira and Chiyuki looked at each other.

"But it can't be. He was much stronger."

"Does someone here have a laptop?" asked Akira.

"I have young sensei." said a guy. As Akira was looking for his name, he found him."

---

Internet café:

'Look Hikaru! It's Akira!'

'Sai, there are other names like that. Let's play him though.'

---

Akira made a few moves. 'It can't be him.' After more moves, Akira resigned. "I have to worry about other things." he said. "I schedule this Sunday."

"Next Sunday! We'll all be gone by then." yelled a person.

'Sunday? That when the pro test is.' thought Waya.

---

Sunday:

Everyone except Akira was there. 30 minutes past and Akira still wasn't there. 'Okay, he's not here.' thought his opponent.

'So Akira isn't coming. He is play inter Go with Sai.' Waya notices he made a big mistake. 'Damn it!'

---

Chiyuki: Alright, chapter 12 done!

Mizuki: … I'm bored. Let's play a game Chiyuki!

Chiyuki: No! Play it your self!

Mizuki: I'm a freaking ghost! I can't touch anything!
