Hikaru Shindou is up in his grandfather's attic with his friend Akari when they stumble upon an old Go board. Hikaru
sees blood stains on it, but Akari can't see anything. Hikaru tries to rub them off with his shirt, when the spirit of Fujiwara-no-Sai
appears and goes into Hikaru's conscience. Sai is a 1,000 year old spirit that killed himself after losing a rigged game of
Go. He wants Hikaru to play Go for him, but Hikaru isn't too happy with the idea, so he refuses. Sai is overwhelmed with sadness,
and Hikaru is overwhelmed with nausea. Hikaru agrees, finally, and Sai gets the chance again to play the "Divine Move".
