Alright there aint nearly enough Hikaru no Go fanfics out so I wrote one. I emailed the newcategory guys twice under 2 different addresses for them to open a Hikaru no Go section and that's where this will end up if they DO add it. Anyways this takes place like somewhere after Hikaru becoming an insei and before his preliminary pro exams… enjoy             

            Hikaru awoke. Akari. That was the first thing that came to his mind.

            "Akari, ne?" said Sai smiling slightly as he sat on the side of Hikaru's bed. "You know there's a saying that the first thing you think about when you wake up will be the main event of that day."

            Hikaru yawned. "Oh please Sai, don't tell me you believe something like that. I hardly even have any classes with Akari anymore ever since we started eighth grade."

"Mmm… then when DO you see her?" Sai asked

"Well we have P.E. together… but they separate the boys and girls for the activities… so I still don't see her much and…" Hikaru glanced at the clock "Gah, I'm gonna be late again! Why are we talking about stupid Akari?!"

 Hikaru quickly got dressed, gathered his stuff and ran out the door. Little did he know that Akari would indeed be the main event of that day.

"Ne, Hikaru, I'm tired of running! I don't think we'll be late," whined Sai after they ran for about 4 blocks.

"You're tired?! How could you be tired?! You don't even have a body, I'm the one doin all the work here!"

"I know that… It's just that I have to concentrate on running…"

"Man you're lazy… did you ever do anything else besides sitting there and playing Go? How did you stay thin?" Hikaru glanced at his watch and saw that he still had five minutes, which was enough time for them to walk from their present location and be on time. Hikaru and Sai walked in silence for a couple minutes as they neared the school. Hikaru took note of the silence. Akari. Akari wasn't walking with them. How long has been since Akari walked to school with me? A month maybe? Hikaru wondered.

"I believe it was after that incident at the Go club" Sai said.

"Arg Sai! Cant I ever have private thoughts?!" Hikaru blushed. He knew exactly what Sai was thinking.

"I am sorry" Sai would have liked to have said something about Hikaru thinking of Akari a lot lately but refrained.

If he thinks about her again… thought Sai, then I will be certain that he is fond of her. Yes… then I will push him to achieve Akari's heart. He may have already achieved that prize two years ago when he thought of her as nothing more than an annoyance, but they are starting to mature and she might have gotten over him. Maybe she gave up on Hikaru after that day at the Go club when Mitani might have come back but didn't, after seeing Hikaru there… oh well, for now I will observe. If he does indeed like her then I shall do my best to help him attain that love. For love is a very pleasurable experience that I would like for Hikaru to have… plus his playing will be terrible if he keeps thinking about Akari.

They were now entering the school gates and both noticed Akari some fifty feet away under a tree with a couple friends. Hikaru after catching her eye nervously waved at her and blushed. Akari, startled that Hikaru even noticed her, blushed and waved back timidly. Her two companions immediately whispered amongst themselves and giggled.

This caused Akari's blush to deepen and as if it were contagious, Hikaru's blushed deepened as well.

Mmm yes. Thought a smiling Sai. Hikaru will need my guidance as a lover as well as a Go player. This will be fun.

Ya it was a little short but the next chapters will be a lot longer… just tryin this out.
