A new Chapter!!!!!!! I know I update every day but I can't help it!! I can't stop thinking about this fanfiction!! It has even implanted itself in my dreams. --
Anyway some people asked a few questions:
Why haven't I mentioned Hikaru's dad yet? Well they don't actually mention him often in the manga so I don't know what to do about him yet.
About Sai's reincarnation, I might make it so that Hikaru's mother becomes pregnant (one way or another) and the baby is Sai. Of course, this is not confirmed so you might as well make suggestions about this matter.
Why does Akira run out of class instead of waiting until recess to go to the hospital?I did this to show how out of character Akira acts when it comes to Hikaru. Even in the manga, he actually gets into a yelling match with Hikaru, which is out of character. You get what I mean right…
Chapter 6Hikaru sat alone in the hospital bed after his mom had left to go home. His mom had probably to inform his grandfather of what had happened since he wasn't in town and probably had no idea he had collapsed. He's probably going to leave whatever he was doing and come back, thought Hikaru. He really spoils me too much.
Thoughts of his grandfather always made him feel warm inside since if it wasn't for his grandfather he would never had met… him.
Turning his thoughts back to his mother, he was glad his mother had given him the choice instead of choosing for him. Since he was a minor, being his guardian, she had every right to choose for him.
At that moment, a nurse came in and she said:
"Hello…" after looking at her clipboard she continued, "Shindo-san. I'll be your nurse for your stay. You can call me Rika"
He stared at her wordlessly unmoving. He narrowed his eyes as she shifted uncomfortably under his scrutiny. She was like every other nurse he had encountered in his miserable life cold and impersonal. He could see that her smile didn't reach her eyes like the rest. Glaring at her, he said scathingly:
"Leave. If I need you, I will ring for you otherwise don't come into this room."
"B-b-but I have to give your sponge bath and …"
"I don't care about that I can do it myself! I don't need your help! Now leave before I really lose my temper!"
Before he could add anything else she left running like a rabbit being chased by a wolf.
Taking deep calming breaths, he tried to calm himself down. This was one of the many downsides to his illness he could express any strong emotions especially anger. He even had to take a special course on meditation. It had been the most boring thing he had ever taken. That's right! After this operation, I'll be able to act the way I want to whenever I want to, he thought. I won't have to stare out the window imagining myself in an open field running around as much as I want.
Suddenly, he got the most ingenious idea ever. He could surprise Touya when he comes back from the operation. He really wanted to see the look on his face when he will do this.
Grinning satisfied by what his plan, he lay back on the bed closed his eyes and fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.
Dream sequence
Hikaru was in a smoggy place. He couldn't see a thing as he walked through it. He continued walking desperately hoping to find someone. He hated being alone the most. He called out:
"Hellooo is anyone there!!!!"
His voice echoed through the void of nothingness. Tears filled his eyes as he realised that he was really alone. He fell down on his knees and sobbed his heart out when a hand fell on his shoulder.
Looking up he saw that the person was wearing a long black and clothing of an ancient style. His eyes widened in realisation although he couldn't see the person's face he knew that it had to be…
"Sai!!" he yelled in happiness. "Is that really you?"
He got up and went closer to the person in order to see his face just to be sure it was him. The moment he saw the violet eyes he knew for sure that it was Sai.
"Sai… It really is you…" he said softly. "This is only a dream isn't it?"
The man nodded sadly. Hikaru had been having this dream for a month now every time it would start out the same way and it always ended with Sai disappearing before as he was about to tell him something.
"Hikaru…"he heard his friend. Tears filled his eyes. It had so long since he had heard his voice.
"Hikaru, listen to me…" he continued. "Do you remember your promise?"
"Yes, I could never forget it" he replied softly.
"Hikaru, you've become stronger but 'tis not enough…"
At that moment, Sai started to disappear.
"Sai!!" Hikaru yelled reaching out for his friend.
When he touched him, his hand went right through at that instant he vanished and he was alone again.
End of dream sequence
He woke with a start breathing heavily. He took deep breaths trying to calm down.
It's not working,he thoughtin panic. Have to try something else. What did the teacher say it was again…Oh yeah! I have to imagine myself in a happy place. Happy place.
Every time he tried to imagine the happy place, it would blur out and turn into the image of Sai disappearing.
He had to use his last resort. He pressed the button that would call the nurse. Everything went black after that.
&&&&&&
Rika heard the buzz and went over thinking, what does that brat want? Maybe I shouldn't answer to teach him a lesson. No he's a high-risk patient if I don't answer and it costs his life I could end up in jail.
She grimaced at the thought and went into the room. She saw that boy was lying back on the bed with white sheets on the floor. His breath was coming unevenly and his heart rate was too high to be normal.
That was enough to give her reason to call for the doctor.
&&&&&&
Mitsuko Shindo had just finished talking to her father and had begun her daily work in the house when the phone rang. She picked it up and said:
"Hello, Shindo residence speaking"
Shindo-san you must come to the hospital immediately.
"Why? Did he have another attack?"
I'm afraid so. Our doctors have calmed him down. However they have decided that it is imperative that the operation will take place before he has another attack. His body won't survive another.
"I will be there as soon as I can."
She hung up hoping that her son would be okay. She prayed to kami that he not leave her. He was very dear to her.
&&&&&&
Akira was home and he was doing his homework or at least he was trying. He had made no progress what so ever since he had started and it was already afternoon. He then decided that he was too tense. Lets go see if father is free to play a game with me.
He went downstairs to the go room. He entered to find his father recreating a game he had probably seen.
"Ah Akira" his father said without looking up. "Have you finished your homework?"
"Um…well I can't concentrate so I came to see if you're free for a game."
"Come sit", his father replied as he continued to put down stones.
Akira was puzzled, aren't we going to play a game?
He then noticed as he looked at the game on the board that it was a beautifully played game. Not only had black made beautiful hands but also he countered without fail every attack leaving no options.
He wondered who this player was since he played certain hands that resembled the Shusaku style but not quite exactly like it.
"Father, who is black?" he asked.
As he put down the last stone, he replied:
"This is a game that Ogata showed me. He saw it on the internet."
"So this is a game played on Internet go?"
"Yes, white is a Chinese pro and black is a player who calls himself Sai."
"Sai… that is a strange name. Do you know who he could be."
"Whoever he is he not a pro."
"He couldn't possibly be an amateur. He is way to strong to be one. He has to be a pro."
"According to Ogata he is probably Japanese." Said his father pensively. "None of the pros in Japan have this skill."
That was true but why wasn't this player a pro yet. He could probably pass it without fail. He stared at board whoever this person was they had to find him…or her. With a name like Sai he could be female for all he knew.
&&&&&&
Mitsuko was waiting in the hospital for the operation to finish it had been more than 9 hours that they had gone into the operation room. They had told her that she wasn't allowed to go in so here she was waiting outside. It was nerve racking. Waiting not knowing if her son was okay.
She had called her father and he had told her that he was on his way. She hoped he would come soon. She needed all the support she could get. She had called he husband before the hospital had called and had told him what had happened but he had told her he couldn't come since he was too busy.
She knew not to call him now since he probably won't be able to answer.
She had a feeling her child would survive since he was very strong despite his physical weakness. She knew he wouldn't give up without a fight.
