EPILOGUE:

When Hikaru opened his eyes, the whiteness of his surroundings startled him into thinking that he was back in that dreamland with Sai. But Sai had once more returned to the Other world, and by the languorous feeling that seemed to sweep over him, he was back in his body with no side effects.

"Shindou? Shindou, you're awake!"

Hikaru winced. "Shut up, Touya," he mumbled, reaching up to rub at his eyes. He winced as he felt the uncomfortable prick of the IV needles with his movements.

The other pro seemed to have heard for he refrained from any more exclamations, but instead leapt for the button that called a nurse. Within minutes, a slim dark woman in an immaculate uniform appeared. Hikaru grimaced, not looking forward to the interrogation that was about to occur. It didn't help that the doctor appeared soon afterwards.

Finally, everyone was satisfied that he was about to make good progress on healing and Touya had come back from making calls. Hikaru was reclining on the bed, already making good headway into the lump of presents on his bedside table.

"Hah! Waya got me this! That bastard, showing off!" Hikaru muttered, fumbling at a thin joseki introductory book that his friend had recently published. "Dammit, I don't see why Go pros have to publish! It's not like you can learn to play a good game of Go just by reading books!"

"Maybe if you would learn to be able to use kanji in a grammatically correct way, you would have no problems publishing as well, Shindou," Touya commented from the chair by the bed. For all the dryness in his voice, there was a brightness to his friend's eyes that made Hikaru look away, uncomfortable. "Then again, I highly doubt you know more than 500 anyway," he continued on.

Hikaru glowered at his rival. "Of course, I do! Just because I don't spend my time reading thick literature books doesn't mean I'm illiterate, Touya!"

"You must be joking!" the other snapped back. "I saw that birthday card you were about to give to Akari and there were so many errors in it, that you might as well have been illiterate!"

"Oooh, I just woke up from a coma and I should have to put up with you!" Hikaru shouted back.

"Well, you will just have to put up with me until your parents arrived because Lord knows, the minute you're by yourself you might accidentally kill yourself with the IV needle!"

"Shut up, Touya! Who said you should be here anyway!"

And the battle was on, and even as the nurses rushed in to find out what was happening, Hikaru couldn't help the smile in his eyes. From the way, Touya was smirking, the ass was also glad that everything was back to normal.

And if a small part of him wished that Sai was there too, Hikaru ignored it.

Sai was back where he belonged now, and so was he.

-FIN-
