[30 Sept] [Hikaru no Go] And the Waves Crashed on the Goban 30/?
Title: And the Waves Crashed on the Goban 30/?
Day/Theme: 30 Sept/You are my country
Series: Hikaru no Go
Character/Pairing: Hikaru/Akira, Isumi/Le Ping
Rating: General
The rumors had thinned down enough that the third title game was attended only by a dozen or so curious watchers, instead of the huge crowd that Shindou was half-expecting.
It went off to a rousing start. Touya was at the top of his form, and Shindou had been determined that he would be, too.
The 19x19 goban presented so many possibilities that it boggled the mind, but he was feeling his way around it. He knew this place like the back of his own hand--with the astonishing twists and traps that each hand could uncover--and yet it continued to present new possibilities. He played a stone, and watched Touya out of the corner of his eyes.
Touya's expression was abstract, his whole attention on the goban. He scarcely glanced up to look at Shindou, but every hand was an intimate response to Shindou's Go.
Shindou flexed his left arm silently. From the frightening weakness in it months ago, it was gradually getting stronger.
Yes, it was good to be alive. Sai had been unable to play because he had no body, and needed Shindou to place stones for him. Despite the pain, Shindou was glad that he could place his own stones. The search for the Hand of God continued.
The goban was his territory.
