Hikaru wakes up in a hospital room and the first thing he sees is the man with long hair wearing an eboshi hat from before. When Hikarus' mom entered he told her about the long haired man standing in the opposite side of the bed, which made Hikaru's mom worry about him and that she would call the doctor if Hikaru continued to sputter some nonsense.

So when his mom left. The man introduce himself as Fujiwara no Sai and explained Hikaru his story about being a go intructor in the heian period and why he became a ghost and that he is striving the move called "Kami no Itte". The second story that Sai explained to Hikaru was that he was also found by another kid named Torajirou in the Edo period, and that he let Sai play go in different places and earning himself the name Honinbo Shuusaku. But Torajirou caught an epidemic and died in a young age.

Hikaru didnt see how go could be fun, but since Sai explained him his story Hikaru would be lying if he still says go hasn't caught his interest.
Hikaru needed to get used to speaking to Sai in his mind since he made some few people give him weird looks when he was talking to Sai out loud.
Hikaru found it funny how Sai would always look suprise to modern technology and ask how do the metal bird fly in the sky and how fast and scary the metal object in the street was, needless to say Hikaru enjoyed the company, though sometimes Sai could get annoying.

Hikaru decides to bring Sai into one of the go salon and let him play since Sai was irritating him in school asking when he would play. After that one game, the customers in the salon gathered around Hikaru causing uproar asking him tons of questions regarding about his moves, his so called joseki. Hikaru did the only thing he could think of.

That being said when Hikaru got home, he immediately opened his computer and googled "Honinbo Shuusaku" and thats when Hikaru knew.....bringing Sai to go salons would be a bad idea since he would capture the attentions of players, not to mention Sai was the one playing. If Hikaru were to explain this to the people about his ghost being Honinbo Shuusaku they'd definitely send him to the mental hospital.

So Hikaru tried to think of an idea on how to make Sai play go, and thats when the idea of go, games and computer popped up to his mind.
