It broke my heart at the detail of Hikaru smiling genuinely when the Meijin said he wanted to discuss his game. HIS game, not Sai’s game.
Throughout the series, I’ve noticed Hikaru really wanted to be a good player himself, to be recognized as himself.

Forget about surpassing stuff, just arrest the kidnapper!

Hey, Hikaru did tell Touya. Haha. Glad things worked out ... better ish. It's really incredible that you were able to write and finish this fic! Good job.

Yay, finally~ Hikaru is freed ... isn't he? The suspicions that he's Sai is really gonna do him in. I at least hope Akira will finally find out about everything ...

Tremendous story. I recently finished the anime and didn't know what to think about Ogata. After that episode in the hospital, I can see how the story would believably take this turn. I only have a few small nitpicks, but they are easily glossed over. Thanks for the story.

Oh, excellent. Hm, let's hope Akira does something soon. xD

So now we know where the title came from. Awesome work. I honestly like your characterization so far.

This is getting interesting. Your writing is excellent for this ... Heh, hopefully Hikaru will find a way out of this soon.

Welp. Always thought Ogata was interesting. Now I know it for fact. xD The worst part is I could totally see this happening. Great writing!

Ooh, you captured the writing style of the series quite accurately. Promising.

I was reading this chapter and thinking 90% of people are kidnapped by people they know...

beef stir fry is kind of a heavy food. I think hikaru can't handle that at his current state

neckties? someone is kinky
