Shizune: Exactly As Planned
Hisao is a challenge, my first in a long time.
I look intently at the board, the careful pawn walls. Hisao is good at chess; I can tell. He deliberates.
Then, with a single decisive motion, he takes his queen's knight and places it to thwart my best move.
...Four turns away.
I smile.
With my ring and middle finger, I grasp the king's castle. I leave my index, pinky, and thumb outstreched, signing "I love you" to Hisao as I castle, though he cannot know that.
He looks at the board, and smiles.
I will checkmate him in five moves.
This is from Shizune's POV if you can't tell. And, yes, yes, SHE USES JSL NOT ASL YOU'RE DOIN IT WRONG. I know. Consider it JSL dubbed into ASL.
