Becomes friends with third year Kishimoto-sempai, when shes a 1st year tenth grader, and joins the superheroes club as a side. After awhile of sneaky, underhanded activities, Yun gets fed up with the Hack group and makes them just become the IT club, so they could at least do legal techie stuff. Ashiwara has computer problems and a friend recommends her to him. She ends up having to fix his computer, and is surprised to find something called the Dead Land Virus. Chapter Six: Shirayuki and White Snow Its winter time and Christmas is coming up. Hikaru hates snow (despite her name, though she used to love it) and she hates the cold. She especially hates holidays. However, this time with Sai, she melts a bit. And then the rest come in, and she thinks she might be falling in love with snow again. Of course, it gets ruined when she gets arrested the next day for hacking into PSIA, and then gets drafted as a consultant and to help them and the DIH. Chapter Seven: Take Me Down to the Slammer SoooHikarus in jail, Ogata is panicking back in the house at her sudden absence, and Yun visits unexpectedly with her nowhere in sight and a famous Go player in her home for some reason. They search the house for clues, Ogata finds his Wanted poster in her room, and Yun is

hurriedly going through all the numbers in her cell found she found. For some reason, she has really odd friendsHikaru gets her phone call, and calls Ogatas number to reassure him that shes fine and what happened to her. He still freaks, and then Yun freaks out. She has them look for the cash of money she has on hand in the house, which they wonder where it came from, and then has them pay her bail. Since she cant be released just yet, she stays in jail for one more week, and they pick her up to find shes the favorite inmate of all time. Somehow. And shes stuck at home for the weekend, having missed a week of school, and misses another day of school for her preliminary trial. Chapter Eight: Mercy Me In a really bad mood, Hikaru has returned to her home and then to her school, stuck with an ankle monitor. Getting off with only the charge of being confined to her home and her usual routine, having a curfew, the ankle monitor tracking her location at all times, and doing free consultations with the PSIA/DIH in regards to computer problems (from simple tech problems all the way down to hack/cracking problems). Therefore, she needs not in the mood to find out that her dear, kawaii friend Akira is being isolated and ostracized by the Go club. She decides to take out her aggression on them and teach them a lesson. Akira also finds out shes Sai. Chapter Nine: The Better Con Akari tells Hikaru they need a third player for Tsutsui and hers Go club, and desperately asks if she could help them find a third member. Theres a 1st year named Mitani, whos been doing Go cons at a Go salon, and the Go salons she goes to tells her about it. She gets in touch with the Go salon being troubled and gets hired to straighten Mitani out. She gets severely tempted to cheat him out, and make it obvious she is without being outright to show him up, but she doesnt want to upset Sai. However, he lets her do it and she guiltily spills him afterwards to make it up. She then continually comes to cheat out Mitani, until he gets fed up and demands a real match with her real strength. Sai encourages her to play herself, and she beats him easily. And then she basically blackmails Mitani into joining Hazes Go club. Chapter Ten: Pressure Play Hikaru pries out whats been bothering Kishimoto, at least relating to Go, and coaxes him back into the Go club. Hes immediately accepted back and becomes 1st captain, while Hikaru gets pissed off at the rest of the team. She declares shell train the Haze team to beat Kaio, and sets out to do just that. Meanwhile, her first consultation is sent to her and she grumpily gets to work on it. Then decides she doesnt really need to consult them, and brashly decides to solve it herself. Chapter Eleven: Amateur Engagement The International Go Amateur Cup is coming up and Marcus is coming to Japan for a visit. But before Hikaru can cheer him on for it, she enters her own amateur tournament from help with Doumoto, where she meets Kadowaki. Then its on to seeing the International Amateur Cup, where she has to excuse herself from watching, due to the craving of speaking on during games. She play NetGo in the back, while chaos erupts in the room she left behind, with people dying to know about the mysterious NetGo player Sai, who is the reigning internet Go player for the past two years. Both Marcus and Ogata try to keep her identity quiet in panic, and Akira comes and tries to help as well. Several close calls come in the form of Li Lin Shin, a kid named

Yoshitaka Waya, and Japans own rep Shimano. After all said and done, a night out is encouraged by Hikaru, who is just generally a bad influence. Chapter Twelve: Data Waltz SoMarcus invites her over to America, returning the favor of being shown around Japan (not knowing about her ankle monitor and her conditions). Still on summer break and sentences lightened, Hikaru eagerly agrees and flies back with him to America, after making sure to fix her ankle monitor and hotwire it to her computer, faking her presence. She gets shown around New York City and has lots of fun. And, since shes in America, becomes more drawn than ever to fulfill her desire to test the Pentagons defenses. Needless to say, she attracts attention. Chapter Thirteen: Catch Me If You Can Realizing what she did, and that shes now attracted FBI (who probably pulled her file and already know of her previous transgressions), she fakes her way onto an airplane as a stewardess. She makes it to one of Ogatas familys estates, breaking in and deciding to lay low there. Of course, shes got to now watch her back carefully. She cant call Yun, since they know she knows him because she used him as a guardian from last time. She cant involve Marcus any more than she already did. So its up to Ogata, who shes really been keeping low and trying not to show she knew him so much, considering his title and position. Hes not very happy with the events and thinks hes about to have a heart attack.
