[September 1] [Hikaru no Go] 145
Title: 145
Day/Theme: September 1 / Here we are
Series: Hikaru no Go
Character/Pairing: Shindou/Touya
Rating: G
Word count: 100
Touya turns at the sound of his name. Shindou has followed him into the playing room. And there is something that sings in his blood: “Today.”
“It’s been two years and four months,” he says instead.
“That long, eh?”
He is surprised that this is something that Shindou doesn’t know, seemingly unburdened by the weight of all those days and weeks and months they carry between them. Touya looks away, remembering every stone that paved the path to this day. Every game and every opponent who was not Shindou. “Yeah, it’s been a long time.”
He turns and walks away.

Author's note:
After 16 volumes and 144 chapters, fans of "Hikaru no Go" were finally treated to a game between Shindou Hikaru and Touya Akira, playing as professional rivals. For the Go player enthusiast, the game portrayed in the manga was based on an actual game (as most were): round 1 of the 47th NHK Cup, Honda Kunihisa, taking black and Nakano Hironari, playing white.
