[Title] Taking Hope
[Author] Andro
[Disclaimer] Hikaru No Go does not belong to me.
All right, some of you are probably wondering what the heck this is... basically, I hated [Taking Hope]. The writing was painfully awkward, and I couldn't figure out what to do next. So it was comatose for months.
I shouldn't even be writing this, but... well, here I am. Because I got such lovely, lovely feedback on the original version, I've decided to rewrite it into a much better fanfic.
The plot is still the same, Ina Beliend is still in this story since she seems to be tolerable, except her role has been changed, and I'm sure that this is probably much better for many of you, and a lot of things are much clearer now.
There are certain things that Hikaru [and Touya] now does, because he's changed. You may not like them, but fear not, it may turn out to be one of the things that I'm planning to make a point out of him changing later on.
This is an alternate universe fic, that spins off from around episode sixty-four. What if Hikaru had never found Sai in his Go, and had run away from Japan? Feeling guilty out of what he did, this is the Hikaru of years later. By accident, a friend of his, meaning to do well, makes him bump heads with one of the last people Hikaru ever wanted to see... Akira Touya.
Hikaru's guilt is eating away from him, and he misses Japan and his friends, but he feels that he doesn't deserve to be around them anymore, and it still hurts to think of Go. Can even the great Go prodigy, and his old rival make him realize he doesn't have to punish himself?
Touya doesn't know why Hikaru suddenly just vanished from his world from one day to another, but he'll be damned if he'll let Hikaru go without a fight.
This is a shounen-ai story, AkiHika if you can't tell. Waya, Ochi, Isumi and the rest will come into the fanfic when I can fit them in. I'll try my best to keep the original characters in the background, and as little annoying as I can.
No characters will be bashed in this fic to my knowledge, it won't go above a PG-13 rating, and while it will have some very angsty moments, it won't be like that all the time.
Please enjoy.
