I'm going to be doing some K*S drabbles, one for each of the girls.

...yes, including Misha. There will be no "Isn't it sad, Misha?" on my part.

First one is below the cut.

Tags/Warnings: ASL, Drabble, Shisao, WAFF, gratuitous chess terminology.
Timeline: Takes place after the Shizune path in Act 1, not that this is important to the plot.
Notes: I am fully aware that Shizune converses in Japanese Sign Language; I don't know written or spoken Japanese worth a damn, much less signed Japanese. I do, however, know a little ASL, and where to learn more. Consider her to be conversing in JSL, dubbed into ASL. If that makes sense.

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.
