I'm seriously considering giving Daidoji Kitani (I remembered there was a Minoru among their ranks - I didn't want to get myself confused) a Scorpion lover - a married one, trained as an artisan (Soshi?) who - though she couldn't rival Kitani in Go (hell, no one can rival Kitani Minoru except Go Seigen in my mind! Ack! Go meijin slash. XP) but there are certain elements I want to write in :

- a child (the Scorpion's) who Kitani treat like his own
- the different things used to describe go : a battle, a sharing game, revealing what is in the player's mind, if not in his heart, timeless, used as a means to prophesy (in the sense of the old Chinese use for Go)
- the attack and repulse of violence in the game
- the ebb and flow of the game to show their adaptability to the situations (situation: a point where Joseki is abandoned because it limits the progress of the game)
- Stubborness, in Kitani's part (he refuses the engagement, leading to return to a previous state of the game - refusal to accept the situation of their relationship?)
- Luring out to show a weakness, but not using it - to show where to improve (shidougo)
- not fighting in the end, because Go is a game of harmony
- not to mention her by name
- a drawn game

The other one is proving much harder to think of because I want some unusual way of conducting revenge, not just the usual duel (though the duel does have its merits), but I can;t think of a creative, traditionally Japanese way of doing it, besides a curse. O_o
