The "Third Face- Off" Episode Remake!!! (Hikago)

[Sachiko]

Hikaru no Go (Shonen Jump)

BUY THE DVD!!!!! IT'S IN AMERICAN STORES 12- 27!!!!!!!

Rated PG, for violence ^^!!!


The tounament from Volume Three?? It starts off the same, but Hikaru feels the pressure from Akira and decides he can't take it anymore... READ if you're looking for some big, big humor!!!


I dedicate this Remake to Hotta- sensei and Obata- sensei, the creators of Hikago.

My twin brother and I were talking one night and came up with this idea and laughed very, very hard!! I wrote it down as an "episode remake (or remix.)", which by my definition is a short story that starts from an episode and eventually ends where it fits back into the storyline (so it has no effect on chapters after it. After I finish Yuletide Yu- Gi- Oh!, I may write this story called Hikaru and Akira's Glory Days, which starts from when {Vol 5 SPOILER} Akira sees Hikaru on the internet in Volume five. It is not an episode remake- it does not fit back into the stporyline. Also, it will be longer than this one.). But things I do tend to take longer than expected... Expecting it to be short, I wrote this story in one big mass, then divided it into chapters. If a chapter begins or ends badly, that's why. I tried to add a couple of ellipses (...) !! Ah well...

If someone reviews pretty soon, I'll put up the second chapter immediately as everyone's Christmas present!!!

Now, on with the ER!!! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll review!!! (Maybe.)


The "Third Face- Off" Episode Remake!!!

It's the tournament and things are heating up. Kaio is going up against Haze, which means it's time for Hikaru to face Akira again. (Oooh, the fans have been waiting for this.)

Chapter 1

"At last... at last I get to face you..."
Akira has been waiting for a long time to do this. He then says "Onegai- shimasu" like he's supposed to. Hikaru, meanwhile, is feeling quite nervous despite Sai's enormous talent in Go. He just can't shake off the fact that Akira is staring at him.
The others around him begin their games.
Akira is staring at him.
Hikaru feels Sai's determination to win this match.
Akira is staring at him.
Hikaru suddenly snaps out of his thoughts. Akira, in his slight trembling, has dropped the lid of the stone container, and he bends down to pick it up. Hikaru can feel the tension around him rising. He wonders how Yuki and Kimihiro are faring.
And Akira is still staring at him.
He watches his opponent put the lid down precisely beside the other lid on the table and wonders how he can do that when he is still staring intensely at him.
Hikaru begins to sweat.
Akira has already been sweating.
Hikaru cannot take the tension anymore. He jumps out of his seat and begins to run.
'He can't get away again!!!!' thinks Akira and he jumps up and chases him. "Come back here!!!"
People turn their heads and Hikaru pushes chairs out of the way and knocks into tables. He's doing well until suddenly he finds himself between the backs of two chairs that are too close together. There are people sitting in the chairs. Hikaru struggles to squeeze through them. He glances back and sees Akira hot on his trail. He struggles faster as the people in the chairs are refusing to move. What seems like a minute later (when it was really 5.2 seconds), Hikaru finally gets past the chairs. Akira goes through them quite easily, seeing as the people in them scoot closer to their tables to let him through.
Hikaru runs some more. But it is too late. Akira has caught up to him, and extremely frustrated with him, he jumps up and tackles Hikaru to the ground.
Everyone gasps. Akira and Hikaru are now rolling around on the floor, wrestling. Some people are yelling for someone to stop them. Some people are chanting, "Fight!! Fight!!" Some people are just laughing.
Then, two of the tournament officials run over and pry the boys apart. They are holding them back. Hikaru is panting but Akira is struggling to get out. He thinks about how his father wanted him to be a great Go player and about how Hikaru is in his way, so- "Get your hands OFF me, you baka!!!" -he punches the dude who is holding him back in the face and he stumbles over.
"Whoa!!!" says both Hikaru and Sai.
Hikaru's captor drops Hikaru and rushes to the other man, shouting his name. The other man is crying. Hikaru catches the very fierce look in Akira's eyes and sprints again. Akira runs after him. They are running around and around the crowded room, knocking over stone containers and chairs and also pushing people out of the way. Hikaru is running pretty well and so Sai says brightly, "Wow, Hikaru!!! You sure run fast for all the junk food you eat!!" "Shut up, Sai, you're gonna distract m-"
Hikaru trips over an empty chair.
"Ow!!!" He gets up slowly, pushing the chair in and sees Akira speeding toward him. He decides he's not going to run away from him anymore-and not just literally. He stands there, and just as Akira jumps up-
-Hikaru's fist slams into his face with such force, such force.
He flies backwards. Everyone gasps again and some girls frantically rush over to help him up. Hikaru just stands there. "Whoa. I did it." Then he realizes that he should take this moment to escape (despite what he decided earlier.).
Akira is in pain but, you know, it may be hard to believe, but Akira is the perseverant type, so he shakily gets up, and he says, "Nobody beats Akira Toya in Go and gets away with it!! Ya hear me, Hikaru? NOBODY!!!"
"That's right!!!!!" says the girls who are around him.
Akira starts to run again in the direction Hikaru went.
"Yuki!!! Is he mad?!?!?!" says Kimihiro, who is standing on Kaoru's shoulders trying to get a better look at the action.
"Want some chips?" says Yuki, eating chips.
Hikaru has ran outside to the front, where he finds Akari.
"Hikaru!" says Akari. "What are you doing out here? I was out here 'cause I was getting hot in that stuffy room."
"Akira!!-" says Hikaru, panting heavily.
"Huh?" says Akari.
"Ya gotta hide me, Akari!! Akira Toya is trying to kill me!!!"
"Wha-? Why? What's going on?"
"LOOK!!!! HE'S COMING!!!!" Hikaru points.
"Okay okay!!! Hide behind that big plant."
"Cover for me, Akari!"
"Right!" she says. 'Anything for you, Hikaru!!!' she thinks, because she likes Hikaru somewhat.
Hikaru hides behind a large potted plant.
Akira comes up to Akari.
"Um, hey, Akira!!! Why are you out here? Aren't you supposed to be playing Go with Hikaru?"
"Uh...it's a long story," answers Akira.
"Heh heh..." Akari is nervous, so she says the first thing that comes to her mind. "Don't tell me Hikaru beat you that quickly!!"
Hikaru cringes. Sai slaps his forehead.
"NO, actually, he ran away just now. I can't be beat that fast!!!"
"Oh. Okay."
Silence.
"So..um...have you seen Hikaru? I want to ki- play a friendly game of Go with him!!!!"
"Nope!!! Haven't seen him!!! You know, you should look far away from here. He will definitely be FAAAAR away from this spot in particular."
"Okay. Thanks!" Akira is about to turn around when he suddenly hears a sneeze.
"Uh... did that plant just sneeze??!"
"No! That was m-"
"I can't help it!!" says Hikaru, coming out from behind the plant. "I'm allergic to these kind of flowers!"
Akari slaps her forehead.
Sai sighs.
"Hikaru!!" says Akira.
He starts for him but Akari grabs his shoulders and holds him back. "RUN, HIKARU!!!!!" she screams.
"Yes ma'am!!!!" says Hikaru, who runs down the sidewalk.
Akira manages to push Akari out of the way and runs after Hikaru. "COME ON, HIKARU!!! I WANT TO PLAY A GAME OF GO WITH YOU!!!!"
"NO!!!" Hikaru yells.
"JUST...ONE...GAME!!!!!!!"
"QUIT STALKING ME!!!!!" shouts Hikaru.
"I'M NOT STALKING YOU!!!!!!"
Akari has started to run after Akira in a desperate attempt to save Hikaru. All three of them are now racing down the sidewalk.
Meanwhile, at the tournament, everyone is talking about the big chase and fight.
"So did you see the way Akira tackled Hikaru? That was funny!!" laughs Kimihiro to his opponent.
"Yeah, and when Hikaru punched him, it was hilarious!!!" replies his opponent.
"Don't you just wanna laugh your pants off?"
"Yeah!"
"Don't you wanna laugh so hard your insides bust out? Boom!!" Kimihiro moves his hands to imitate insides busting out.
"Yeah!!"
"Don't you just wanna resign our game?"
"Oh yeah!!! WAIT!!!! No!!!!! I didn't mean that!!!"
"Too late!! You've agreed to resign part of the way through our game." Kimihiro smirks triumphantly. The opponent scowls. Yuki and Kimihiro high-five. Kimihiro jerks his thumb to Yuki. "I learned that from him."
"Okay, everyone, okay, begin your games again!!" says the announcer, and everyone does that.

This is a good story, I like it already!

 

[Sachiko]

AH!!!! MY FIRST REVIEW!!!!!! *cries with happiness*

*stops crying* Hey, its the girl who started that Hikago thread.
Thanks for replying!!! Now I can FINALLY put up the second chapter!!!!


Chapter 2

Back on the streets, Hikaru is running at nine miles an hour. Akira is running ten miles an hour. Akari is struggling to remain within eleven feet of Akira. She pants. "I... can't breathe... AKIRA!!!!! SLOW DOWN!!!!! I CAN'T RUN THAT FAST!!!!!"
So Akira starts running at twelve miles an hour.
Then he trips over a skateboard. Akari stops to help him. "Are you okay?" she asks.
"Not really."
Akari starts to help him up. Hikaru comes closer some. "What are you doing?!!!!!!" Akari stops, leaving Akira on one knee.
"Helping him!!! Isn't that the right thing to do?!!!"
"YOU CAN'T JUST GO AND HELP THE COMPETITION!!!!!!!!!!"
"Competition?!! This isn't business!!!"
"Excuse me, Akari, but Go IS a business, and it is a very important one, at that," states Hikaru intellectually.
Sai wipes a tear from his eye.
"That was beautiful!!!!" says a man on a motorcycle as he cries, too. He stops in front of the three and goes on the sidewalk.
"Huh?!" says Hikaru.
"Who-"says Akari.
"DAD?!!!!!" says Akira.
"Hello, son!!"
Hikaru realizes that he can run, so he sneaks away.
"When did you get a motorcycle???" Akira asks.
"Why, I've had this for years!!"
"Really?!!!"
Akari remembers something she had just heard recently. "Wait- you're Toya Meijin, the famous Go player!!!!! I can't believe I am actually near you!!!!! It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Toya."
"Thank you very much, young lady!!! And please, call me Meijin, because that sounds cool."
"Okay, Meijin, sir!!!"
"Gimme a break," mutters Akira under his breath. As he stands up fully, the sun and the motorcycle cause a glint in his eye and he looks at the motorcycle, and has an idea. 'I wonder if they'll notice...-' he looks at the two, who are chatting- '-...Yes, just keep distracting him, Akari.' Meijin's back is turned to his red chopper, that is until he hears the engine starting. "I'll bring this right back, father!!!" says Akira from his position on the seat of the bike. Then he rides off.
"He just stole your motorcycle!!!" says Akari.
"There goes the raise on his allowance," says Meijin.
Meanwhile, Hikaru is in an alley, and not the kind with a dead end. He leans against the wall and pants, and then sits down. "Phew!! I managed to get away from Akira. He's probably wondering where I am. Good thing no one's gonna come down this dirty alley."
Just then, someone on a motorcycle zooms through the alley. Hikaru coughs. "Hey!!! That could've flattened me!!! At least it's gone." Then, the motorcycle speeds backwards, and stops in front of Hikaru.
"There you are!!"
"AAH!!!"
It is Akira.
"How did you know where I went?"
"I guess I subconsciously noticed you running away."
"Oh."
"Now please play a game of Go with me!!!!"
"No!! I can't!!!"
"Why not?!!! I went to so much trouble this year with Kaio's club and all, just because I wanted to play you. I studied Go a lot more than I used to, had to put up with these mean kids at Kaio's club, yelled at my sensei (that was kinda fun!), thought day and night about my strategy in our game, and even had a dream about us playing a game once!!!"
"Huh?! Who won in your dream??"
"... ... Uh... ...you did."
"I did?! Cool!!!"
"That's not cool!!! Now, get on this motorcycle and I'll drive us back to the tournament."
"No thanks!!!"
"Why don't you want to play with me??! I don't understand!!!!"
"Uh... gotta go!!!"
Hikaru starts to run, but Akira stops him. "No!! Tell me!!! Why don't you want to play??! What's the problem?!!"
"Well... it's just that..."
"Yes?!"
"You...I kinda... I don't..."
"Yes?!!"
"I... I... I..."
"JUST SAY IT!!!!!"
"Okay!! You see, in my consciousness...."
Sai panics. "No!!!! Don't!!!!"
"What's in your consciousness????"
"Well, there's this...this.....I can't..."
"Say it."
Hikaru feels caught under Akira's transfixing stare and then he remembers why he got up and ran in the first place.
"Good grief, Akira, it's because you keep staring at me!!!!!"
Akira is surprised. "Huh?? I do?? ....Wait." He reaches into his pocket and takes out a pair of sunglasses and puts them on.
"How's this?"
"Uh...better.... Listen, I've got something to do!!"
Hikaru runs the rest of the way down the alley and turns the corner. Akira, still wearing the sunglasses, hops on his father's motorcycle and speeds off after him. "Hey, come back!! Please!!!"
At the tournament, the Go games are underway. Kimihiro is amazed at the skill level of his opponent. 'Wow!! I underestimated this guy!! He's ruining every single one of my strategies!!! But now, I think I have one that can trick him."
He ruins that one, too.
Kimihiro is really unhappy. This guy is just too strong for him. He can't win. "I resign," he says.
"Okay. Thanks for the -"
"NO!!! NO, WAIT!!! I TAKE IT BACK!!!!"
"Nope, too late." He smiles and Kaoru laughs. Kimihiro sighs.
"Kimihiro, you dummy!!!" says Yuki. He realizes that he has to win now. He feels the pressure. He also realizes that he's in a rather tight spot right now. He isn't sure where to play. He thinks hard about it for a minute, and then finally decides where to put the stone down. He sighs slightly with relief.
"You lose."
"What????"
"I had just tapped my stone on the board while you were looking at Kimihiro. You made two moves in a row. You lose."
"Wha- Wha- That was my trick!!!"
"Whoa, it was?!!!"
"Yeah, buddy!!! I CAME UP WITH THAT TRICK!!!"
Everyone hears and starts saying insults at Yuki for coming up with a way to trick people.

 

[Nintendo Master]

Another good chapter! Please write more!

 

[Sachiko]

Yes!! It's a new day, so I get to put up the next chapter!!! I love this chapter!!!


Chapter 3


Still back on the streets, Hikaru is running but it is no use as the motorcycle is coming up right behind him. He could not keep doing this. He needed a plan. And then, a miracle happened. He sees a brick building and a woman walking away from blue motorcycle near the wall. He runs near the motorcycle and just stands there in Akira's path. Akira skids to a stop, and Hikaru takes the chance to... go on the motorcycle!!!
"Ah! Hey!!" says the woman.
"I'll give it back someday!!!" Hikaru assures.
"Hey...you tricked me!!!" Akira says, panting.
"I had to!!"
"No you didn't."
But Hikaru has already gone off.
Akira follows him. They race crookedly through the streets, dodge cars, drive up and down ramps and steps, and even cut through an outdoor market that doesn't have many people but does have a lot of things set up... you can put together what happened. But they go on anyway. Soon, they find themselves going off of a bridge. Now before I continue, I need to present some facts.
1. There are no other vehicles on the bridge. And it is a big bridge, too.
2. On the streets around the bridge, there is heavier traffic than usual, which is why Hikaru decided to go on the bridge.
3. The bridge is a drawbridge which opens up in the middle and only goes up to a 50 degree angle.
4. There are blockades on both sides of the bridge.
5. The bridge is all the way up.
Yes folks, since everyone was taking a detour, traffic was clogged and Hikaru was forced to go on the bridge. He wasn't thinking at all. Soon both boys have shot off the jump and are in midair!
Hikaru marvels at the view. "Wo-ow!! Check out this view!!!"
Akira keeps the look of determination on his face for a few seconds. Then he realizes that he is in midair. He slowly looks down and a big ship that's playing festive Mexican music is passing several, several yards below him. Everyone on the deck looks at him. Someone sticks their head out a window. Another one points and snickers. There is silence as they look at each other. Then...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Would'ja quiet it down, Akira? I'm trying to enjoy the view."
"MY LIFE IS FLASHING BEFORE MY EYES!!!!!!!!"
"Hey, mine is, too!! Can you see it, Sai?"
"Yes, I can! This show is kind of funny!!"
Akira squeezes the handlebars extremely tightly as if that would help the motorcycle go farther. "Come on, come on..."
Hikaru's motorcycle is not as powerful, and it slows down. Both bikes' front wheels hit the edge at the same time, and...
Akira's makes it over!!! But Hikaru's doesn't.
He manages to sort of jump off the motorcycle and grab onto the edge of the stuck bridge with his right hand, and he watches the bike splash into the water. Everyone on the deck says, "Ooooh!", even the people who got splashed by it.
The ship is sails away. Akira skids to a stop. For some reason, the drawbridge doesn't close. Akira guesses it must be stuck, and walks up to Hikaru.
"Help me, Akira!!" says Hikaru.
"..."
"I said, help me!!! My fingers are slipping!!!"
"..."
"What are ya waiting for?!! Help me up!!"
"Give me one reason I should save you."
"WHAT?!! You won't do it?!!!"
Akira grins evilly. "Heh. I could just let you fall right here and all my problems would be over!!!"
"No. You wouldn't!" Hikaru's fingers continue slipping.
"I'll become the greatest Go player who ever lived!!! Even better than HON'INBO SHUSAKU!!!!"
Sai gasped. He took great offense to that.
"Take that back!!!" Hikaru yells.
Akira's tone changes. "Look, saving you would do nothing for me!!! It's not even my fault you're hanging from a bridge anyway!!! You did this to yourself!!!"
"WHAT?!!!!! It is totally your fault!!! YOU were chasing me!!!"
"YOU got up and ran in the first place!!!!"
"YOU were staring at me!!!"
"BUT HIKARU, I'M WEARING SHADES NOW!!!!!"
"That's NOT enough!!! And now, you are leaving me here to fall!!!"
Akira puts the glasses in his pocket. "YOU went on the bridge as it was rising up!!! YOU put yourself in danger!!! Not me!!!"
"I had no other options!!!"
Akira sighs. "Okay. I'll help you..."
"All right!! Thanks!!!"
"...on one condition."
"Condition??!"
"You must play me at the tournament."
"Play you?! No thanks!!"
"Why not???!"
"I can't. Not yet. Maybe a LOT later."
"Why can't you?!!!"
"I just CAN'T, okay?!!! Now back off!!!!"
Akira and Hikaru stare at each other for a few seconds with a serious look.
Then, Akira shrugs and says, "Okay. Suit yourself!!" He turns and starts to walk away.
"No!! Wait!! I mean, don't back off!!! Get me up from here!!! Please!!!"
Akira stops.
"Please, Akira!! I'll do anything!!!"
Akira turns around. "Anything?"
"Uh..."
At the tournament, people are starting to leave because it's getting late. The officials have decided to stay until the night in case Hikaru and Akira have come back. Everyone is getting bored.
"Watch out for that cat!!!"
Hikaru has noticed a cat in the middle of the road. Akira, who is driving the motorcycle, swerves dangerously and barely misses the cat's tail. He keeps swerving around cars.
"You're breaking the speed limit, Akira!!!"
"What speed limit?!! There was no sign!!!"
"How would you know?!! You are going so fast you missed it!!!"
"Oh, come on. We're not going that fast." ZOOM!!
"You just ran a red light!!!" cries Hikaru.
"No I didn't. That was yellow!!!" Akira swerves past a convertible.
"Sure it was yellow, like, ten years ago. You could get us arrested, ya know!!!"
"Will you stop being such a back-seat driver, Hikaru?!!"
"Fine then!!! I'll get in the front and you sit in the back!!"
"No way!!! I'm drivin' this chopper!!! It's not yours."
"It ain't your's, either!!!" Hikaru replies.
"Well, it's MY father's, so technically it's mine." Akira swerves past a limousine.
"Why don't you technically sit on the side of the road!!!"
"Is this how you should treat someone who saved your life?" Akira states calmly.
"Oh, I'll treat you worse than that you littleWATCH OUT FOR THAT TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Akira has ran another red light and is crossing a two-lane street. In the second lane, a huge truck is coming. Akira gasps and squeezes the brake lever as if he was strangling it. The truck goes on down the road...
...and the motorcycle was just one inch away!!!!!
Hikaru and Akira have leaned forward abruptly and now they were back. Hikaru's face is a little green. Then Akira speeds forward again, jerking them backward. Hikaru moans.
"You cannot drive."
"Shut up."
At the tournament, meanwhile, there are about 4 officials left and 13 kids including Yuki and Kimihiro. The officials are just standing there, chatting, and the kids are sitting in a circle around a candle. "Kum- ba- yah, my Lord, kum- ba- yah..."
"We're he-ere!!!" Akira bursts through the door SKIPPING and calls out in a sing-song voice. Everyone gapes.
Kimihiro says, "Uh, where's Hikaru?"
Hikaru walks in then with a slump and a darkened face. He pukes into a trash can and everyone cringes. He still has an unenthiusiastic look because of what's to come.
"Okay," says the announcer wearily, "the third match between Haze and Kaio will now begin."
"Ha- ZE!!!"
"Quiet!" Yuri bonks Yuki on the head.
Hikaru gulps. Sai gets out some popcorn.
"Don't hit my friend," says Kimihiro.
Yuri bonks him on the head, too.
Hikaru and Akira sit down and get everything ready. Everyone crowds around to watch....


EDIT: Oops, I forgot to say this... My ER's rated 1?!! It wasn't supposed to be a masterpiece, but still... If you don't like it, tell me why you don't like it because I really want to know.
Thanks!!
Sachi ^__^

 

[Nintendo Master]

I love this chapter too! It was pretty funny when Hikaru and Akira were on the motorcycle! BTW I voted a 5 star for this story.

 

[Sachiko]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! *cries*
*stops crying* Anyway, I liked the motorcycle part too!!! Akira is really out of character. But it's funny.


I'm not gonna update tomorrow 'cause of my 9- hour trip to Philadelphia. I'll try to update Friday, though. For now, here's Thursday's chapter!!!!!



Chapter 4 (this'll be good.^^)


"You can play black, Hikaru!!" says Akira.
"That's so nice of you, Akira!!" says one of the officials.
"Thank you!" he replies.
Hikaru clenches his fist.
"6-10," says Sai.
'Sai, did you forget that I agreed to lose this game on purpose and do whatever Akira says?'
"I know. I'm telling you which moves to play to lose!"
'Darn you, Sai...' Hikaru plays 6-10.
"Hmm, I think I'll play right here." Akira puts his stone down somewhere and says, 'Your turn!"
"I know." Hikaru puts his stone on the board. They play pretty quickly and soon, Hikaru has four prisoners and Akira has fourteen!! Some people have been snickering.
Akira then captures a bunch of Hikaru's stones.
"You're playing so well!" says Akira.
"Actually, you're the one that's playing well. I'm playing horribly."
"No, you're being way too modest!" Akira says as he takes a few more of Hikaru's stones.
"I DON'T think I'm being modest, Akira," Hikaru says flatly.
"No, really," Akira taunts cheerfully as they continue playing their game. "Your moves really make me think. In fact, it takes me half of a second-no! three fourths of a second!!-to come up with a move to respond to you!"
People laugh quietly.
'Suck it up... suck it up...'
"You're amazing!"
"Yeah yeah..." Hikaru places another stone on the board. He notices that Yuki and Kimihiro are snickering along with everyone else, including the officials. 'Some team,' he thinks.
The two continue playing.
"You know what?" Akira says after a while.
"What?"
"You're right."
"Right about what?"
"You're not playing very well."
Snickering.
"Okay," says Hikaru, who is beginning to vainly tremble in anger.
A few minutes pass.
Akira speaks up again. "This is starting to get boring."
"Really."
"Yep."
...
"I apologize."
"Uh-huh." He acts annoyed, but Hikaru sees him smile when he bends his head down to get a stone out of the Go bowl.
Hikaru begins to create a mental list. 'Ways to Kill Akira Toya:
1: Strangle him.
2: Stab him.
3: Shave him bald, then choke him with his own hair.'
Hey, it's possible, right?
"I said, it's your move. Stop daydreaming!" Akira waves his hand in front of Hikaru's face.
"Okayokay! Hold on a sec..." He puts a stone down.
The game rages on.
Akira yawns loudly.
'4: Give his name to the leader of a street gang.'
"I think you should try to attack me over here," says Akira, pointing.
"Akira, why are you giving me advice? We're in a tournament."
"Because apparently, you are in need of it," he says, smiling brightly.
"Thank you SO much for your support!"
"You're welcome!!" Akira captures 3 more stones.
'5: Poison his food.'
Everyone laughs quietly.
Five minutes pass.
"Hey, I have an idea," Akira says. "I'm only capturing two and three stones at a time. Why don't you put your stones in a big group so I can save time by capturing them all at once!"
"Grrrrrrrr..." Hikaru frowns more. Everyone laughs. In fact, the only one who hasn't laughed is Akari.
'6: Purchase a chainsaw.'
Hikaru, over time, puts his stones in a large group and Akira's stones slowly surrounds them. Finally, Akira puts a stone down and Hikaru's stones are as good as captured! Hikaru sighs. Akira reaches his hands to begin to pick some of them up when suddenly, he stops.
"This is really a lot of stones! I know, I'm going to count all the stones I captured!!"
'NOOOOO!!!' Hikaru mentally screams.
Akira counts slowly and loudly, as if he is four or something. "ONE...TWO...THREE....FOUR.....FIVE....."
Everyone else in the room except for Akari and Hikaru begin to laugh hysterically.
"NINE...TEN...ELEVEN...TWELVE..."
'7: Secretly tear a big hole in a parachute, then convince him to go skydiving.'
"EIGHTEEN...NINETEEN...TEWNTY!!! WOW!! I captured TWENTY stones!! AMAZING!!!!" Everyone is hysterical.
"Yeah, amazing." He gets an idea. "Hey, do you know anywhere that they sell good hunting guns?"
"Uh, there's a hunting store down the street from here." Then Akira smiles in a joking way. "Why? You want to shoot something down?"
"SOMETHING like that."
Akira is clueless.
A bit later, Hikaru decides that Akira won't mind if he resigns, by now. "I resign," he says.
"Aww!" Akira says in the fakest voice. "You can still catch up!! You should keep playing!!"
Hikaru 's voice is cool, and flat. "I said, I...RESIGN."
"O...kay." Akira starts putting the stones away. "It's easy to see that I won, so we don't have to count the stones."
"Uh-huh." Hikaru frowns as he too puts stones away.
"Thanks for the game."
"Yeah." Because Akira is certainly not welcome.
"You know, that game was fun," Akira says as he gets up from his seat. "In fact, I think I can honestly say that this was the funnest game of Go I've ever played in my life!!!" Everyone laughs hard at that.
"That's GREAT, Akira." Hikaru's fake smile is...well...very, very fake.
"All right. With three wins and zero losses, Kaio wins the tournament." Everyone but Hikaru, Akari, Kimihiro, and Yuki, even the officials, start clapping and cheering. The six Kaio team members are, too (none of them left.). The Haze people are just standing there sad. Hikaru starts to turn around and go. Akira gently grabs Hikaru's shoulder and he turns around. "Hey, I'm from Kaio! Aren't you going to congratulate me?!"
'Oh yeah, Akira's here,' Hikaru thinks. "Tell ya what. Why don't I congratulate you OUTSIDE." He pushes him out the door and onto a balcony (the door is not see-through.) and closes the door gently.

 

[Yami Ryu]

IMO it deserves the one star. Because this could have been done beter. I've seen real three star fics, and this, is not a three star. This would barely border as a two star. You have formated this story badly, and have left out so many important details that it's like a bad mesh of a script and fic. The descriptions of what little actions you describe are the barest of the bare minimal to give someone the hint of what's going on. And what do the characters look like? Are they naked? Alive? Undead? Green skinned with fire for hair?

Just because you skimp on crap that makes a story great. You've just created a blah pile of trite in the form of words. I suggest you use those orbs in your head called eyeballs, and READ the Rules and Advice for Aspiring Authors stickies.

 

[Sachiko]

(Thanks very much for reviewing!!!!!)

Ah, but I already have read the rules and Advice for Aspiring
Authors. I've even posted in AAA.


This may sound cheap but it's true- I said in the Happy Fun Get the Word Out Thread that this was a stupid story. And when I said that this wasn't supposed to be a masterpiece, that's what I meant. No one with decent self- esteem should say that about their story unless they really meant it.

You are very right in everything that you said. But this was really a dumb and hilarious fic that is sort of supposed to be like someone is announcing it to you, sort of like announcing a fight on TV. That's why I wrote it in present tense, and I never write in present tense. And to really make it short, funny, and focused on action, I actually puposely tried to keep description out. Sounds stupid, I know, but description would take away from my main goal of the story.
So basically, what I'm saying is that you were very correct in your review, but you misunderstood the purpose of the fic and judged it from a point that was "Sachiko is really trying her hardest on this", and that's perfectly okay!! But now you know that this was just a silly fic for laughs. I wasn't even going to put it on the internet, but it turned into having 2 chapters to having several! Thank you again for replying, Renegade!!! ^_^
I hope no one thinks I'm dumb or a bad writer because of this.... that's not true!! *cries* (I cry alot on this forum.)

FYI: I did not think I'd be getting on the comp today, but I am writing this before our trip.
I'd put up the next chapter but since most people think this is a bad story, I don't really want to put it up yet.
I'll try to come back tomorrow.

How can you focus on action, when you don't really explain to people what the action is. I skimmed through this, as you admit, stupid story, and really have no idea what's going on. If I didn't have one volume of Shonen Jump, I would have no idea wtf you're 'remake' story is about. You should have stopped at the first chapter, this is not funny. This is not 'action packed' or whatever you're trying to say this is. This is just a lame story with little in the way of anything good going for it.

but you misunderstood the purpose of the fic and judged it from a point that was "Sachiko is really trying her hardest on this",

No, that was not my point. My point was you were being lazy and making a sloppy fic that is far from interesting, funny, or action packed, that is far from any sort of quality most people would want to read. Hell, it could be labled a half assed attempt. You misunderstood my point, not the other way around.

I'm sorry, but I'm reporting you as soon as a fic mod comes on, I really fail to see what humor you have going here, or action, or anything. All you have basically is a poor attempt at a script or a scripty attempt at a fic, nothing more.

 

[Sachiko]

All right, fine, you can report me!!! I just did not want this story to go to waste on my computer!!! And actually, I'm glad it didn't!!!!


For anyone out there who disagrees with Renegade, here's Chapter 5!!! (Don't worry, there are only a few more chapters left.) Not a lot happens in this chapter but just wait 'till the next one...



Chapter 5


...
"Okay. WHAT WAS THAT?!!!!!" Hikaru shouts. "You did NOT mention ANY of this in our deal!!! You were supposed to beat me and MAYBE suggest where not to put stones or something, not publicly humiliate me through the whole game!!!"
"SUGGEST? When did I mention SUGGESTING anything? Our deal was that you'd play horribly and lose, and that you had to do anything I told you to do. I kept that deal!"
"But you went too far, Akira!! Admit it!!"
Akira sighs. "I admit it. I guess I did go a little overboard..."
"A LOT overboard!!"
"…but it was funny!!!"
"Funny?!!!!!"
"Yeah!! You know, like when I said that I thought for three-fourths of a second! Wasn't that funny?"
"Well....uh-wait! NO!!! That wasn't funny at all!!!"
"Oh, and I loved the part when I said that it was boring.. and you APOLOGIZED!!!" Akira starts laughing.
"Grrr..." Hikaru clenches his fist.
"GOOD MANNERS!!!!" Akira shouts, still laughing.
"You... are... an... IDIOT!!!!"
Akira abruptly stops laughing. "What!? You're such a loser, Hikaru."
"You wanna take this outside, buddy?!!!"
"We already are outside!!!"
"And, there's no one around." Hikaru grins and pushes up his sleeves.
Akira grins and does the same. "First one who dies loses."
"You're on."
Hikaru didn't even think of this one for his list: simple street fighting! I myself have always said that Hikaru and Akira just need to get together and fight. Release all the tension.
But no, Hikaru just had to make that one last insult. "Wait a minute. I can't fight you."
"Huh? Why not??"
"My mom taught me...never to hit a GIRL!!!!!"
"Now you've done it!!" says Sai, enjoying every minute of this.
But Sai was right.
"WHY YOU LITTLE- OKAY, THOSE WERE YOUR LAST WORDS. REST IN PEACE, SHINDO!!!!!!"
Hikaru has been laughing. "Ahaha- HUH?!!!" Ten and a half times more powerful then Hikaru's devastating punch earlier, fueled by the imense anger of being called the other gender, and releasing all the anger he hadn't released during the game (which surprisingly was a lot.), Akira's fist crashes into Hikaru's face, sending him hard to the ground.
"AH-HOWWW!!!!" he yells. Sai cringes.
Akira is not finished yet. He walks up to Hikaru and kicks him hard in the side.
"AAH! Please don't kill me!!! I don't wanna die!!!"
"But this is a fight to the death, remember?! One of us is not going to make it."
"Then I quit! I forfeit!! I resign!!!"
"You can't resign!! This isn't Go, this is a street fight!!!"
"I just did!!" Hikaru shakily gets up. He cracks the door and sticks his hand in, and grabbs a tissue from a tissue box. He waves the tissue. "I call truce!! Forget all this fighting and tension. We both like Go, so lets just be FRIENDS!!!"
For a moment, Akira has this stunned look on his face.
Then he begins laughing loudly. "US?!! FRIENDS?!!!! That's the STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard in my life!!!! Hikaru, your a real riot!!!"
Hikaru sweatdrops.
"There's a greater chance of a random guy with a beard and a top hat flying by on a jetpack, tossing playing cards and yelling, 'CUCUMBERS!!!! CUCUMBERS!!!'"
Hikaru frowns and raises his eyebrow. "Akira, what goes through your-"
Suddenly, a random guy with a beard and a top hat flys by on a jetpack, tossing playing cards and yelling, "CUCUMBERS!!!! CUCUMBERS!!!!" Both boys stare blankly at him.
...
"Hikaru, you know what?"
"What?"
"I think we've just had our random moment of the day."
"I think so too."
Silence.
"So whaddaya say, Akira? Friends?" Hikaru sticks his hand out a little.
"Well...okay." But they move their hands toward each other and (Hikaru wasn't originally planning to do this) then brought them back. "PSHYCHE!!!!!"
"Hmph!!"
"Let's go inside," says Akira.
"Yeah."
They go inside. Hikaru gets tisues for his bleeding nose.
"Hikaru," says an official, "how did you get that fist-shaped mark on your face, a black eye, and broken nose?"
"HE-" Hikaru points to Akira with his thumb.
"He ran into a pole," Akira says coolly.
"Oh, okay."
"WHAT?!!!" Hkaru shouts.
"I'm going," says Akira who goes to talk to his teammates.
"Grrr..."
Hikaru goes to chat with his broken- hearted teammates and Akari (everyone else is at the other corner of the room.). Kimihiro is starting to cry. Yuki is patting his back. "It's okay man, it's okay."
Hikaru hands him the tissue.
"Thanks..." He blows his nose into it and hands it back to Hikaru, who stares blankly at it, then throws it away.
"Hey, weren't you the one who said it'd be okay if we lost?" says Hikaru.
"I just said that so we wouldn't feel any pressure!!" Kimihiro says, sniffling.
"Well then it's your fault we lost!!!" says Hikaru.
"Hey, wait a second here!!! If I remember correctly, weren't YOU the one who jumped up and ran out of the room at the start of the round?!!" Yuki says. "It's your fault!!!"
"What?!"
"Hey, you can't blame Hikaru for running out of here!! Akira was deathglaring him!!!"
"THANK YOU, Akari!! Thank you!!" Hikaru says.
"I heard my name!" Akira says from the other side of the room.
"SHUT UP!!!!" Hikaru yells.
"Okay." He turns back around.
"You're welcome, Hikaru..." Akari says, a little shyly.
"So quick to blame others, are we?" Kimihiro turns to Hikaru. "While you were gone, Hikaru, good ol' Yuki here-" he thumps Yuki on the back- "fell for his own trick and lost, then told the world it was his trick. It's HIS fault we lost!!"
"Is not!!"
"Is too!!"
"It's both you guys' faults!!" says Hikaru.
"It's your fault!!"
"It's his!!"
"YOU made us lose!!"
"YOU ruined everything!!!"
"This is YOUR fault!!!"
"No way!! It's all yours!!!"
The three argue on until Akari says, "QUIET!!!!!!!!!"
They stop.
"You wanna know whose fault it REALLY is?!!"
"Oh I know," Hikaru says in a sarcastic tone. "It's none of our faults. It just HAPPENED. Yeah yeah, I've heard that before."
"No, that's not it."
"Huh??"
"It's ALL THREE OF YOUR faults."
"Wait a-"
"Cool it, Hikaru!"
"Yuki's right, Hikaru. We all should have some of the blame."
Hikaru sighs. "Yeah, I guess your right." He is feeling very low at this moment. 'This day cannot possibly get any worse.'
Sai gasps. "No! Don't say that!!"
Just then, it does...

 

[Nintendo Master]

I'm glad you posted this story here Sachi. This is IMO better than some of the stories about Hikaru no Go on fanfiction.net! I can't wait for the next chapter now!

 

[Sachiko]

Thank you again, Anna!!!!! ^_^
Speaking of stories on fanfiction.net, two you must read are Eternal Snow and a story called Chasing Shindou that is in the humor section and is discontinued because the author decided not to write fanfiction anymore. But reading it is worth the search!!!


Anyway, Chapter 6 is in town!!!! Here we go:


"EXCUSE ME. Is there a..Hikaru Shindo, in the vicinity?" A calm but loud and firm female voice fills the room. Everyone turns to look.
"Uh, me?!!" Hikaru turns around. "Hey you're the woman from earlier!! Oh no!!! Please don't kill me!!! I've already had-" he stops to count on his fingers- "five near- death experiences today!!!"
Akira laughs a little.
The woman walks over to him. "No, I'm not a murderer..."
"Phew!" says Hikaru.
She takes out a badge. "...I'm a police officer, and you're under arrest."
-
Hikaru tries to scream, but nothing comes out.
She points at another man that had come with her, who was followed by two big tough officers. "He was at the cafe that my motorcycle was. He recognized you and we followed you in his car but got stuck in the traffic jam around the bridge. He saw your Haze uniform and the school uniform of some other guy that was with you-" Everyone immediately moves in front of Akira to hide him.- "and remembered vaguely a Go tournament that was supposed to be held. He told me where, and so we made our way here. You're under arrest for the theft of a police motorcycle."
Hikaru is stunned. He finally finds his voice. "Uh, but...I...I had to!! I'm sorry..uh...well, I..."
"Take him away, boys," says the woman.
The two big guys grab Hikaru and start putting handcuffs on his hands (behind his back). Hikaru is frightened but also enraged at the fact that they paid so little attention to Akira that they didn't know if he was a kid or a teen or whatever!!!! He looks at his teammates with pleading eyes but everyone that he looks at (except Akari) is doing stuff like nodding their heads and saying 'What a shame.'
"I'll visit you someday, man!!" says Yuki.
"Uh yeah, me too," adds Kimihiro.
"WHAT?!!!" cries Hikaru. Some friends.
"Hey, Hikaru, ask them if you can play Go in prison," says Sai.
'AAUGH!!! That's all you care about, isn't it, Sai?!!' Hikaru pictures himself playing Go against a big ugly guy with a tattoo. 'But forget it. I'm not playing Go with criminals.'
"Hey, aren't you a criminal now, too?"
'Oh yeah...'
The officers begin to drag him away. Akari is horrified. She is about to say something when suddenly...someone cuts her off.
Akira dramatically steps out of the small crowd of people. "Hold it right there!! He didn't do a thing. It's all my fault. I'm the one you want."
Everyone gasps. "Akira!!" Hikaru says.
"Well well," says the woman. "What do we have here?"
"A confession." Everyone gasps again.
"Here's what happened: I wanted to play Go with Hikaru really badly and we were supposed to play in the tournament, but he got up and ran. I chased him and tackled him to the ground. We wrestled and when an official held me back, I punched him. I chased Hikaru some more and then he punched me. But I got up and we ran down the street. My father showed up on his motorcycle and when he got off, I took it and chased Hikaru. Then Hikaru somehow got on your motorcycle and he jumped off a broken drawbridge. I did, too, and made it to the other side, Hikaru's fell into the ocean below and he hung onto the drawbridge with one hand. He begged me to help him, but I was hesitant, and finally made a deal with him. I helped him up and we rode back here on my father's motorcycle. I was driving it, and I was speeding and driving recklessly. Hikaru and I nearly got run over by a truck! But fortunately, we made it here safely and we played the game. I made fun of him the wholegame and forced him to resign, because that was part of our deal. And then you guys arrived, which leads us to this point. ...In conclusion, I say again that this is all my fault and that you shouldn't arrest Hikaru."
....
Everyone gapes.
Hikaru is dumbfounded. "Akira!! Whoa!" he says again.
The woman officer chuckles. "Well, young man, I appreciate your honesty."
Akira smiles. "Thanks!! And does this mean that you'll let Hikaru go?"
..."Nope! All you did was get YOURSELF arrested, too, for underage and reckless driving!!!"
"WHAAAAAAT?!!!!"
"You can't escape the long arm of the law!!" She says. The big guys grab Akira and handcuff his hands and also connects him to Hikaru. The two boys look at each other and then do the most reasonable thing.
They burst into tears.
"I don't wanna go to jail!!" "I'm innocent!!" "Please let me go!!!" "My parents'll kill me!!!" "The other prisoners will hurt me!!!" "The food tastes bad in prison!!!" That was Hikaru.
Everyone but Akari sweatdrops at their crying.
"Save it," says the woman. "You have five years to do all the crying and whining you want."
"FIVE YEARS?!!!! Don't we get a trial or something?!!!" Hikaru says in panic.
"That WAS your trial!!" The woman announced proudly. "Akira here just pleaded you both guilty!!!"
Hikaru glares at Akira. "Grrrrr!!!!"
"Whaaaat?! As they say Hikaru, honesty is the best policy."
"Oh YEAH. I thought about that after I ran into that pole earlier."
Guilt trip. Oh yeah.
The big tough officers start dragging the two away.
"Oh snap, Hikaru, I just realized, we can't play Go in prison!!!"Akira says.
"Yep, that's right!!" says the man who originally spotted Hikaru. "NO GO FOR FIVE YEARS!!!!!!!!!! AH- HAHAHA!!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" scream Hikaru and Akira.
Akari is alarmed especially now upon hearing Hikaru scream like this (hello, Akira screamed too!!!). 'I don't really care about Akira, but I have to save Hikaru from this!!!'
"Let's go now," says the lady. "I'm afraid you junior criminals are going to have five years of TIME OUT!!!! Ahahahahahaha!!!" The four start to move toward the back door.
"Not on my watch!!!!" Akari says quietly and gets up...


GO AKARI GO!!!! Save the day!!! What will she do?????!!!! Find out tomorrow!!

 

[Nintendo Master]

Sorry for not reviewing chapter 6,school got in the way. No! Hikaru and Akira are in jail for 5 years! What can Akari do? Can't wait for the next chapter!

 

[Sachiko]

Yes, school gets in the way of everything... I always take a lot of time on my homework because I for some reason keep daydreaming a whole lot... I get little free time during the week...
But anyway, it's tommorrow!!! Can Akari save Hikaru and Akira from prison?!?!? Let's hope so.... Chapter 7, everyone!!!



Chapter 7

Akari runs up to the woman. "Please let them go!!! Please!!!"
"No. They do not deserve it!!"
"Please!!" She goes over to the big men. "Do I have to get down on my knees and beg?!!"
"No..." says Hikaru. "Please don't..."
But she does. She clasps her hands together. Her eyes fill with tears. "Pllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaase!!!! Pretty please!!! I'll do anything!!!!"
Hikaru had said the same thing earlier. That and the fact that Akari was begging and crying broke the camel's back. "AAAAAAH!!!! IT HURTS!!!!!! THE PAIN!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!!" He struggled in his handcuffs.
"I'm gonna cry again..." says Akira, lower lip trembling.
The men gulp.
"Let them go!!! Don't put them in jail!!! Please!!! They're good people!!! I don't want to see them as prisoners..."
"Stay... strong..." says the woman in a shaky voice.
"...bored and dirty and tired and weak and starving..."
Hikaru starts crying.
"...wanting to play Go..."
Akira starts crying.
"...worrying about whether they'll make it through the night without getting beat up by the other prisoners...."
The big men begin to cry.
"...and their hearts aching for their family and friends!!"
Everyone else in the room except for the man and the officer woman begins to cry.
"It's just too much for them to bear!!! I don't even want to think about how much they'll suffer!!!"
The man cries.
"So..." she gets up and stands up in front of Akira and Hikaru. "If they go, I'll go too!!!!!"
"NOOOOOO!!!" says the policewoman, finally crying. "Okay, okay!!! Let them two go!!!"
The big men un- handcuff the two junior Go player criminals. They hug each other and cry. Then they realize that they are hugging each other. They quickly step back and say, "UGH!!!!!"
"We're leaving now," announces the woman, and the four of them sullenly walk out the back door.
...
"Well," says an official. "That was certainly an emotional moment for all of us."
Everyone nods. Then they slowly begin to chat again.
"Thank you for saving us from jail, Akari!!" says Hikaru.
"Yeah, thanks!! We owe you one!!" adds Akira.
"I guess we do!"
"No problem, guys!!!" Akari smiles brightly through her oh- so- fake tears.
"You're a great actress!!!" says Hikaru.
"Mm- hmm, you really are!! You could definitely be on TV with those skills!!" Akira adds.
"Yeah!!"
'Hikaru gave me a compliment!!!!' thinks Akari, completely overlooking Akira's compliment. "Thank you!! That means a lot!" She blushes a bit. Suddenly she feels embarrassed and says, "I'm going to talk to Yuki and Kimihiro." She goes.
...
"Hey, Hikaru..."
"Huh?"
"You never- - wait!! Are you blushing?"
Sai laughs.
"BLUSHING?!!! Heck no, you baka!!!! Shut up and say what you were gonna say!!"
Akira smirks. "That's an oxy-"
"I MEANT SHUT UP ABOUT THE BLUSHING, YOU IDIOT!!!!!"
"Ohhhhh, okay!!! But look, if you want her to come back over here so you can talk privately, I'd be happy to leave and get out of your wa-"
"WILL YOU PUT A SOCK IN IT!!!!!! I don't want to talk to her privately!!! Say what you were gonna say or I am gonna wipe that stupid smile off your face!!!!"
"All right already!! I was gonna say, you never thanked me for trying to get you unarrested!!"
"Oh yeah, I was surprised about that. What made you have that sudden change of heart????"
"Ah, what can I say? I'm a saint!!! I guess I thought you had had enough bad experiences today, and so I decided to help you out."
"Uh. . . thanks, then!!"
"You're welcome!! And besides, if you were in jail, we couldn't play Go now could we?!"
"No... wait!! I wouldn't wanna play you, anyway!!!"
"Well, we couldn't, so you'd be happy. Actually, unless... you stuck your hand through the bars. Or you told me where you wanted to play. Or maybe you could ask for a laptop and play me online, or maybe even..."
Hikaru sweatdrops. Did this guy ever shut up???!
Suddenly, a shadow appears from behind Akira and covers both of them. Hikaru's breath catches in his throat.
"Uh, Akira..."
"... but then the stones would be- huh?"
"You might wanna turn around."
"Why..." Akira turns around, and gasps.
"A- KI- RA....." the person behind him starts angrily.
"F- f- father!!! ...Uh, how nice it is to see you!!"
"You have FIVE SECONDS to give me an explanation for this!!!" says Toya Meijin slowly and angrily.
"Bus- tedddddd," whispered Hikaru. And also, Sai is laughing at all this.
"But-"
"FIVE..." He begins to count, also on his fingers.
"I- But-"
"FOUR..."
"It was-
"THREE..."
"I- I just-"
"TWO..."
"Well there was this-"
"ONE..."
"I... Can I have five more seconds?!!!!"
"NO!!!!!! You didn't deserve the first five seconds ya got, boy!!! Listen, after you took off with my motorcycle, Akari went back to this tournament, and I finished running all the errands I had to run. Then I came back here too, just in time to hear your big confession!! I was standing at the door the whole time!!!"
Akira goes as white as a sheet.
"I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!!!! YOU RODE OFF WITH MY MOTORCYCLE, DROVE WILDLY THROUGH THE STREETS AND NEARLY GOT YOURSELF KILLED ALONG WITH THIS INNOCENT BOY,-" he gestures to Hikaru, who smiles and waves- "-COMPLETELY RUINED A TOURNAMENT GAME OF GO FOR YOUR OWN SELFISH REASONS, TACKLED POOR HIKARU TO THE GROUND AND THEN OBVIOUSLY PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE-"
'Rats,' thought Akira. 'He figured out the truth.'
"-AND BROKE HIS NOSE AND GAVE HIM A BLACK EYE, FORCED HIM TO STEAL- AND DROWN- A POLICE MOTORCYCLE, AND ALMOST GOT BOTH OF YOU THROWN IN JAIL FOR FIVE WHOLE YEARS!!!!!!"
"Hey, don't forget how he kicked me in the side after he punched me in the face!!" Hikaru points out.
"YOU KICKED HIM, TOO?!!!!! SON, YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE TOYA HOUSEHOLD!!! I WAS GOING TO RAISE YOUR ALLOWANCE, BUT NOW THAT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION!!! AND FOR DOING ALL THIS. . . . YOU ARE GROUNDED!!!!!"
Everyone gasps. Akira just seems like the type of kid who never gets grounded.
"Okay," says Akira.
"For five weeks!!!"
"All right," says Akira.
"In your room."
"That's fine," says Akira.
Meijin thought for a minute. "...Without your Go books, board, and stones."
"WHAT?!!!!!!!!" says Akira.
"Yep, that's right!!!" says Hikaru. "No Go for five weeks!!!! (what a coincidence!!!)"
Akari runs up to Meijin then, and he turns to her.
"It's almost like I'm still going to jail!" Akira says to himself sadly.
Hikaru walks up to Akira and mimicks him in a high- pitched voice. "Can I have five more-"
"Shut up!!!!"


Ha ha!! Akira got his way before, but not anymore!!! Sorry, but there's only one chapter left... to make the story last longer, I'm not updating 'till... Sunday!!! In the meantime, watch the Hikaru no Go DVD!!! (says the girl who doesn't have it yet.)
Next chapter: Everyone else leaves, and Hikaru and Akari are alone together on a balcony outside.......
SHIPPING ALERT!!!!!!!
