Alright, here we go peeps. My next fic is here, going to try something new in this fic and hopefully it'll go well. Now this may seem like a cop out...but I will like some OCs for this fic, mainly for the passes. If you would like an OC PM me a team...or characters...hue. DISCLAIMER: I do no own Initial D or Wangan Midnight. Any character descriptions or personalities relating to anyone or anything anywhere is completely coincidental. First Arc: The Highway Chapter 1: First Day It was a clear sunny day in Ushiroyama and it was the start of school for all the teenagers at Ushiroyama High School. Among those students were the Kurubasa twins: Neku and Lillian. “Sheesh school sucks.” Neku sighed solemnly as he adjusted his glasses. “Aw c’mon brother! Can’t be all that bad.” Lillian stated as they both entered the school. “Well you aren’t the one with the freaking fan club. I just want to have to have peace and quiet but well…” He started before the twins started to hear the voices of those within his fan club. “Oh great…see you around sis.” “A-Ah right, catch you around…” She replied weakly before she was shoved hard away from her brother. “Ow, that hurt.” “Heya there Lil! How have you been?” An indigo haired girl greeted Lillian, her hair was a pixie cut and her blue eyes were a welcome sight. “Hi Erika, it’s good to see you, I’m alright.” Lillian was hugged by Erika, in which she returned the hug. “Brother issues? Well you know what I me-” “I think she knows you smart ass.” A long ponytailed green haired girl interrupted Erika, she opened her soft amber eyes as she sighed. “Oh shut it Jun! Is it too much to ask on how her brother is doing?” Erika responded back angrily. “Sounds like you’re part of the fan club.” Jun responded calmly. “Just saying.” Unfortunately Erika had no audible response but instead she responded by making a bunch of random motions and gestures. “Alright, alright, please don’t fight so much.” Lillian asked, trying to not let her friends fight. “She started it, just saying.” Erika pointed at the green haired girl. “Oh ha ha. Placing the blame elsewhere, anyway let’s go see what class we’re in.” Jun said, thus the girls went to the board to see who their classmates were going to be for the year. ________________________________________________________________________________ Inside the classroom 1-4 there sat a short haired midnight blue haired girl who seemed bored…or was it tired? Nevertheless she stroked her left bang, which was about was long as her face before doing the same to the other side. Her hair covered about half her forehead and fell no longer then her neck, her gray eyes silently stared at outside the window. It seemed to be the time in which everyone else was coming to school, she didn’t like the rush and hated being around other people. She sighed as she felt bored now…yeah, it was boredom. “Isn’t it nice that the Trio is with the same class with us?” A random girl said out loud, oblivious to the quiet girl in the classroom. “Ew, which Trio?” Her friend asked. “Well the boy Trio duh! I would be sulking if it was THAT Trio.” “You know it isn’t wise to use all of one’s vocabulary in one sentence.” “WHAT?!” The girl softly exhaled as she tuned out the noise that entered the room. She was aware of the two Trios in the school, both of them were technically nothing more than school idols. The first group was the Beauty Trio and as their name implies they were the three most beautiful girls in the school…but they were pretty snarky to. Although she wasn’t aware of their names, she was definitely aware of their faces. Based off what the girls said…she may not have to worry. Then there was the Handsome Trio, the somewhat equivalent to the girls except for boys. She knew their names though…she had a huge crush on one of them. Satoru Ohno, he was the tallest and fittest of the trio, but he was only a little bit taller. He is considered to be the wise ass of the group, spewing jokes and just generally making the mood lighter. She was ok with him, his jokes always made her chuckle a bit. But she wasn’t the one she had a crush on. Next was Seiichi Tamara, the…royal one of the group? He always had an air of royalty and class about him and his attitude matched his personality…most of the time. Anyone could pick him out of the crowd, his ‘perfectly cut’ lilac hair was easy to distinguish. Out of that Trio he was seen with the most girls, but he wasn’t a player. She definitely didn’t like him. Finally…there was Neku Kurubasa. Just the thought of his name made her smile a bit. Out of the Trio, he seemed to be the most normal of the group. He could easily blend with a crowd and was the quietest of the group, only speaking when he had something to say. At least that is what the rumor was. It also didn’t help that he was the most intelligent of the group, acing almost every exam…with a few exceptions here and there but only then he barely passes them. She knew that he hated the fame, as any girl trying to talk to him would instantly get shut down. There were rumors as to why he did that, some said that he is playing hard to get, others claimed that he is waiting for that perfect one…too many of those others claim that, and a few thought that he has absolutely has no idea how to approach girls. Unfortunately she fell inside the others category…but she kept her distance. “Perhaps he is waiting for that girl to talk to him.” She mumbled to herself as she laid her face on the table. The cold table definitely opened her tired eyes and she sat up right away. “But…who could it be?” All that she hoped for was that Neku had eyes on her: Shino Arai. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Geez, can’t get away from those fangirls.” Neku sighed as he found himself within his classroom 1-4. Behind him was a blonde guy with blue eyes. “You know why they’re doing that right? All of them want to be that ‘perfect’ girl for you.” The blonde responded with a sly smile. “Shut it Satoru. I don’t like it.” “Still…you should probably find one to remove the heat, more or less.” The lilac haired boy said, who was next to Satoru. “Plus it would help eliminate the rumor of you not being able to talk to girls.” “You too Seiichi? Can’t I get a break?” Neku angrily sighed as he sat at the desk just beside a dark blue haired girl. He couldn’t help but notice her jolt a bit. “Well I’m willing to give you one, but I do worry for your future Neku. You should get that experience at leas-” “And what?! Be like you with all your fucking fan girls?” The dark purple haired boy nearly yelled, only to remember that he was at school. “Ack…sorry Seiichi.” “No harm done. I’ll be the first to admit, I should have not jumped around. Trying to be experienced with many types of girls ultimately ended up with me being the player…and I do sincerely apologize.” Seiichi responded with a smile. “Hey, wanna head to that ramen place after school?” “Hey free food is always ok in my book!” Satoru responded with a toothy grin. “I’m not paying for you idiot, you have the most money out of all of us remember?” The lilac boy shook his head. “Whatever man, free food is free food; no matter who it’s given to.” “Huh, a bit of intelligence coming from the joker.” Neku plainly responded before he mentally counted down 3…2…1… “H-HEY!” The other two laughed at the joke, but Neku glanced at the girl next to him; she was trying her best not to burst out loud laughing. That only made Neku laugh a bit harder. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Man…I always hate introductions.” Lillian said as lunch started for them. “So awkward you know?” “Yeah yeah, anyway your brother’s approaching.” Erika stated as Lillian’s brother came up to her. “Hey there Erika, Jun.” Neku smiled at the two, any friends of his sister were worth being nice to...especially if he were to dispel some of the rumors. “Anyway, top or bottom?” “Hm…” Lillian thought a bit. Their mother made two lunches as usual, but every time one of them usually had a cookie or some desert to go along with it. So it was natural for them to guess which one had them. “Top.” “Alright then…” Neku gave the top one before they both opened their lunches, unfortunately she picked wrong. There was a chocolate chip cookie in Neku’s hand. “Dangit!” The female twin grunted in defeat as Neku smirked before he went…wherever he goes to eat lunch. “Sheesh, I know many of the girls here would commit genocide to have the same relationship you have with him.” Erika stated as the girls started to eat. “I know what you mean, but someone could interpret that as incest…just saying.” Jun responded, knowing how much of a left field comment that was. “Ew…EW!” The two responded as they made various gestures. “Sorry…” “Well whatever, it’s time to eat!” Lillian recovered before she picked up whatever she could get her chopsticks on. “Huh, it’s eggs.” “Do you eat without looking?” Erika asked as she looked at Lillian who started to eat her food. “You’ve known her since you were kids…how do you not know her eating habits? I remember that well.” Jun answered the girl’s question, remembering a small antic from middle school. “Remember that one time her mother made some sweet and spicy chicken and she first ate the chili pepper? THAT was hilarious.” “No! Not that incident!” The ice blue haired girl said as she hugged herself. “That was terrible! I remember running around frantically trying to find the water fountain!” “Hah! I remember them well, your brother was trying his best to offer you milk…but at the time you didn’t know that was a way to numb the spiciness!” Erika laughed as she nearly fell backwards. “Woah!” “You two suck at times…” Lillian pouted before the girls started to eat. Today was the first day of school…and the first day their lives would change. ============================================================== Heh, and here we go. Let's see how long it will take me to do this one I do with this fic.

Posted by: OkamiWind Dec 29 2014, 02:54 PM

Been gone fore a few days, sorry peeps. Chapter 2: Test Drive “Alright, catch you later then.” Neku sighed as he left the school. School was over for the day and Neku was leaving the grounds only to see a familiar ER34 sitting in the parking lot. “Dad?” He said as he approached the car. “Hey son, where’s your sister?” Neon asked Neku as he climbed into the car…although his father sensed something odd…like there were way too many eyes on them. “I don’t know, maybe she’s coming out now. I’m not responsible for where my sister is dad.” Neku replied harshly. “Er…” “Shit, sorry dad. School has been a massive headache for me.” Neku apologized, not wanting to anger his father. “It’s alright, I was in your shoes a bit back in high school.” The blue haired father smiled at his son. “Again, sorry dad. Oh there’s Lillian, seems she is waving goodbye.” The two looked at the ice blue haired girl. She was waving goodbye before she came straight up to the ER34. “Hey dad, what’s up?” Lillian asked before looking at Neku. “Get out, I am sitting in the back right?” “Oops.” Neku stated before he got back out of the car. “Thank goodness I asked her to reinstall the rear seats…well anyway, your mother and I thought about your earlier comment about wanting a car…” Neon started, only to get a look at the teenager’s faces. They instantly froze and stared ahead. “Well, perhaps a friend of mine may be able to help with that.” “Huh?” The children asked before their father took off to a garage. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Hey there Neon, here to pick up the cars?” A familiar red headed female asked Neon as he pulled up. “Of course, bought the kids along; I hope you can teach them…Miyako.” Neon responded before noticing the teenager’s excited faces. “Yeah yeah, anyway…you gonna stick around?” Miyako asked. “Nope, gotta pick up the wife. She had a short day. Hey kids, make sure you come straight home afterwards ok?” Neon responded as the teenagers exited the ER 34. “Ok dad!” They both responded as Miyako gestured them into the garage. “Lillian and Neku…you’ve both grown so much.” Miyako mumbled to herself before she stopped at two covered cars. She cleared her throat before she said, “Alright kiddies, your parents bought you these cars…have a look.” The tuner then uncovered the two cars, a gray Nissan 370Z and a red Mazda RX-7. “Oh! A Nissan 370Z!” Lillian gleefully said as she jumped a bit. “A Mazda RX-7? Let me guess…the Type RS?” Neku responded, he tried to be calm but his tone said otherwise. “Nope, a Spirit Type A but it’s good to see you two like these cars. Would be worried if you two hated them…” Miyako mumbled the last bit before shaking her head. “Anyway let me see…where’s my daughter?” At that moment a blue Renault Clio RS came into the garage, the sound of the tuned engine was a bit loud for the Kurubasa twins. “Hey mom, the car’s holding up nice but the turbo has some lag in the middle RPM ranges.” A long red haired female said as she exited the car, her clear red eyes were a nice touch. She started to head back up to her room. “I see…then let’s change the turbo, I knew that one was funky. Oh wait Tomoyo! Come here for a minute.” Her mother asked as the teenager came back. “Yes mom?” “Meet your first customers, it’s about time you went on your own for a bit. Have you met them yet?” “Yeah, the Kurubasa twins right? Lillian and Neku? You are in my class, I sit smack dab in the middle.” Tomoyo then shook their hands before turning back to her mother. “Oh! Yeah I know you!” Lillian said a little late, making everyone stare at her. “Er…hehehehe…” “Anyway…come to me if you two need any tuning requests or whatnot related to your cars.” Tomoyo smiled at the two…why was she looking at her mother earlier? “Well, time for a test run you two. Lillian, you’re up.” Miyako stated as she climbed into her new 370Z. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Alright, let’s go onto the highway here. Go on and I’ll say which way to go.” The tuner instructed the girl. “By the way, how are you so natural at driving?” “VR technology!” Lillian replied as she harshly slammed the accelerator, making the car scream as it swiftly accelerated through the traffic. “VR shit eh? I remember an anime that had that premise…can’t believe people made it.” Miyako said as the 370Z sharply entered in and out of traffic. “Careful, being too aggressive can kill you.” “Ah I know! It’s just I want to have a little fun yeah?!” The ice blue haired girl stated, was she humming? Miyako couldn’t help but sense a dark presence coming from her… “Well anyway, take the turn here as quickly as you can.” The tuner gestured to the hard right onto another highway. “W-What? But that turn is a hard right!” “I know.” Miyako wanted to assess the twins driving styles and see who they most relate to. “Here I go!” Lillian then drifted the 370Z around the corner. What most disturbed Miyako was the almost perfect drift she initiated, it was…too perfect. Something that would take years to do or many, many mistakes and yet the twin managed to do it successfully… “How’s that?” “You are just like your mother.” Miyako calmly said. “Having done such a drift though…may I ask how you did it?” “The VR game I play, realistic setting is sssooo real that I crashed like over fifty times trying to get the perfect drift! It was so hard and somehow it must’ve carried over to real life!” “Huh. That would be troublesome for the cops, if you can pull something like that…” Miyako started. But I still can’t help but think that… “Anyway…let’s keep going.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “And that should do for the adjustments made. It is light enough for you to get used to it, of course I can make it more powerful if you want.” Tomoyo stated. Neku wanted a rundown of what his car had power wise. “Let me guess…you have a setup from a VR game huh?” “Guilty as charged, but oddly enough that was my basic setup for some time. Eh coincidence.” Neku shrugged as he sat on the hood of his car. “Hey, serious question real quick…are you part of that damn fan club?” “Huh? Oh no, I see you as a normal person…not a male model to the school.” Tomoyo calmly responded. “Thanks, good to see some other people who see me as a person.” Neku smiled at the girl, who returned the gesture. The boy couldn’t help but see the RX-7 as something…more than a sports car. Then the 370Z came back, after turning off the engine Lillian jumped out of the car and celebrated like she won the lottery. “THAT WAS AWESOME!!!” Lillian shouted. She couldn’t help but admire the gift she had before her. “That’s…nice sis.” The dark purple haired boy replied slowly. “Anyway, is it my turn Miss Miyako?” “Ah, proper now eh? But yes, it’s your turn…also lightly loosen the suspension a bit sweetie, your customer’s driving style needs to loosen up a bit.” The tuner stated as she entered into the RX-7. “Yes mother!” The apprentice tuner stated as the RX-7 disappeared from the garage. She couldn’t help but look at the jumping twin…she was…weird. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Alright, let’s go onto the highway here. Go on and I’ll say which way to go.” Miyako stated as Neku smoothly accelerated the car. “Oh? Your sis slammed the accelerator, you must be different.” “Don’t tell her this, but she is way too aggressive with her driving style. She breaks more cars in virtual worlds that she comes to me for money…she’s kinda stupid in a way.” Neku sighed as he tried the brakes…they seemed weak. “Heh I know already…but what are you doing?” “The brakes seem…a bit weak for my liking, not strong enough.” The driver replied…only to have the tuner laugh in response. “W-What is it?” “Sorry but your father said the exact same thing when I tuned his car, memories came up. Anyway take the hard right here.” Miyako laughed before she pointed at the hard right. “Alright.” Neku simple stated before remembering what he did in the VR games, take a racing line. Brake first and hit the apex and then…accelerate! “Nice, a racing line eh? Just like your father.” Miyako applauded the driver. “So you must win a lot in the virtual world eh?” “Sometimes, realistic drivers in the game have varied skill sets…meaning I face new racers every time. Adjusting to their tactics is a must, if I don’t then…” The tuner felt bad but she tuned him out. At least he was like his father, maybe he could be a better racer then he was… ============================================================== Can you spot something coming up?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! How do you find the time to build gundam and then write fics? I haven't looked at anything I've written in over a year. With that being said, I have been doing a terrible job of keeping up with chapters. I'm so sorry. I'm trying to catch up right now and from what I'm seeing. I really like where this is going! Keep it up! You're doing great.

Happy New Years guys. Not a special chapter though. (Edit: Removed an excess word.) Chapter 3: First Race The rumor of the Ice 33…the most recent rumor of an unknown racer on the highway, a tale which Shino was totally aware of, in fact the rumor circled around her and her racing. It wasn’t a big rumor, it was just more of a speculation of how an ice blue Nissan Skyline R33 managed to beat practically everyone on the highway. Plus they wanted to know who the heck drove that car, a boy or girl? Nevertheless Shino still continued to race on the highway. She got the R33 as a present from her parents, who were actually well off. Ever since she got the car Shino was interested in racing, legal or what not. So at the young age of a middle schooler, she started racing on the highway. Obviously a little bit of Virtual Reality training helps in knowing how the car works…but outside of that she was a prodigy racer. In fact she was actually pretty good with the realistic setting of the game, she almost scared herself of how much of a natural she was. “Alright, time to go.” Shino said to herself as she prepared to just go on a simple run on the speed ring. Her parents were so well off that she could live alone in an apartment complex. The speed ring was one of the few “highway tracks”, as dubbed by the racers at least, that many people raced on. It starts by going on the highway and making a sharp right turn onto another highway, then there’s a long straight which then goes into an easy long left right s turn. Then the racers take a small banked right turn onto another highway that quickly had an angled left turn which was followed by a moderate right. Then there was another straight came up before there were 2 quick successive s turns, but a true veteran of the track can see a straight line rather than turns. Finally a hard right and everything repeats. “Another day, what can go wrong?” Shino asked as she started her R33…little did she know that this day would change her. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Alright…so this is the lot?” Lillian questioned as she pulled up in a somewhat empty parking lot. Around the speed ring were various lots where people came and hanged out before races. “Ugh, still can’t believe I got an 81 on that test…” Jun sighed as she sat on her red Lotus Elise 111. “Really? An 81? You can’t beat yourself down like that too much.” Erika commented as she approached her. “That’s like, a really nice score.” “I-I know…oh look.” The green haired girl pointed out the gray 370Z approaching them. “That must be Lillian.” “Hey there you two, meet up here as you stated…” The new racer greeted her friends, she couldn’t help but notice something. “Heya, I was just telling lil Junny here that her 81 is a good grade.” The indigo haired girl stated. “Well at least I have an 81 compared to your…” “Ah whatever! I had a 70! I barely passed bleh! Anyway! Nice 370Z.” Erika spoke first. “So…” Lillian was still confused by this. Once she calmed down from the test run she texted her friends about the car, they wanted to meet up somewhere. “Ah right, we common racers use these lots to meet up and race. Don’t worry, this lot here is mainly comprised of females, so you don’t have to worry about weirdos hitting on you; except for the really, really desperate ones but our makeshift security can take care of it.” Jun explained. “Also be aware of an ice blue R33 running around.” “Huh? An R33 with the same color as my hair?” The new racer asked, pointed to her hair. “Yeah, it’s an unknown racer…and this person is tough.” “This person? A boy or girl?” “I dunno, that’s the mystery. Well we have school tomorrow sadly, so I’ll see you later then. Feel free to race around the speed ring.” Erika stated as she got into her blue Honda S2000. “I’m sure your brother might have a run so go from there!” “Hey Jun, quick question…is Erika being mean to you?” Lillian asked her friend…something was up. “Nope, just the occasional teasing is all. I have the course if you need it, I’ll send it to you.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “So this is the lot?” Neku asked as he pulled into a bigger parking lot. There were quite a few cars on the lot and people were looking at him, probably due to unfamiliarity with the new red RX-7. Then he saw a pair of hands waving at him, it was none other than his lilac haired friend. “Hm…so an RX-7?” Seiichi mused as Neku got out of his car. “Yeah, it’s a good car is it not? Besides…you have a freaking NSX.” Neku responded as he looked at the modified white NSX. “So what? Look at American muscle boy over there.” Seiichi then pointed to Satoru’s red Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. “What? Muscle would do good on the highway, all about that straight line speed man!” The blonde friend responded with his arms open. “Ugh, your…simple mind makes it hard to be around…” “Well Satoru does have some points, highway racing is about speed…but not being able to take turn efficiently will cause you to lose the lead. That’s where your NSX comes in Seiichi, your MR layout will have better balance and grip. It’s about finding that perfect balance that will determine the winner.” Neku mused. Unfortunately his friends weren’t so…car savvy. “Sorry, but that passed wwaaayyy over my head man.” Satoru sighed as he put his arms down. “You…must tend to forget we aren’t car people…” Seiichi apologized. “Say the people who have sports cars.” Neku glared. The two looked at each other before responding, “Touché.” “Just stay away from the Ice 33.” Satoru said. “Huh?” “Anyway, we should head home school isn’t closed tomorrow. Neku, I’ll send you the track layout if you want to race here.” The lilac haired boy responded before the two of them left. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Another drive.” Shino muttered to herself, she just finished her second lap…she wasn’t going for a time record and thankfully it was pretty empty, empty as in no racers. But unfortunately… “Who are they?” She asked as two pairs of headlights appeared in her rearview mirror. “Should I entertain them? Or should I let them be? You know what…I’ll have a little fun tonight.” Thus Shino accelerated the R33, letting the engine sing as the two unknown racers slowly catch up to her. At this point they were at the start of the ring, making the hard right. They were decent to say the least, they were keeping up with her. Now on the straight, the three teenaged racers were all over each other. The light tuning done to the new racers’ car were not enough to keep up with the Ice 33, Shino was slowly pulling away. “Not that much tuning hm?” The driver mused as she sighed, another couple of amateurs but her opinion changed as they hit the banked right. The 370Z was doing a flawless drift and the RX-7 was keeping a nice pace with a racing line. Shino felt a tinge of fear for the first time in her racing career…this was odd for her. “Tch!” Shino clicked her tongue as she noticed the racers were closer to her…she had to stop playing now, no more entertaining. She then tapped her brakes and jolted the wheel left in order to make the angled left, the 370Z drifted again…the RX-7 though grew in distance. At least she managed to grab some breathing room. “Alright.” She mumbled as they took the moderate right, however the RX-7 seemed to catch up? What the fuck? “ARE YOU TWO MOUNTAIN RACERS?!” Shino screamed, trying to release some of the pressure. There was only one way she can escape them…the twin s turns and the veteran’s line. No need to turn…the path is straight. So that’s what she did…but they followed me?! “Well I don’t need a win here…” Shino sighed in defeat, might as well see who the racers were anyway. She double tapped her brakes and held it, who could it be anyway? There was an unfamiliar ice blue haired girl in the 370Z, whatever, but in the RX-7… “NEKU?!” The racer screamed as she nearly lost control of the car. Never would she have thought that…she needed to get off the highway. Shino gasped for air…she was outside of her car near a small bar. She couldn’t believe who it was…Neku? The guy she had a crush on? This is was too much for her. “B-Breathe girl…” She muttered to herself, her emotions were going crazy. It was so much for her that she thought she would hyperventilate at any minute. “It’s…ok…calm down. All you saw was Neku racing you…Ne…ku…uhh…” Well…at least she had another excuse to go see him. ============================================================== Boom.

I'm liking the pacing of this one a lot. Both in chapter releases and story-line pacing. Keep it up :3

Ready for cheesy high school romance crap? Chapter 4: A Secret Love “Wait, the Ice 33 was there?” Seiichi asked as Neku retold his encounter with an ice blue R33. They were eating lunch on the roof. “Is that what you guys call it? The Ice 33? But yeah, I raced it after I saw my sister fly by.” Neku responded, he was a little down since he didn’t get the treat with his lunch. “Yeah, so you won against the Ice 33?” Satoru questioned, he was honestly curious about the race. “Well it was more like it tapped out, for all I know the car could have been low on gas. Don’t you guys have some sort of rule that dictates technical loss?” “Nope, if it’s technical it is still considered a win. Low on gas, engine blowout, if you don’t take care of your car you lose regardless. But anyway, did you see who it was?” “Unfortunately no, I was into the race between me and my sister so much that I just ignored the Ice 33.” The other two sighed. “Sorry, looks like the Ice 33 is not going to be revealed anytime soon.” “Well at least we know that the Ice 33 can be taken down.” Satrou stated as he got up and stretched. “Hey guys, can you uh…keep a secret?” Neku asked rather shyly. “Hm? Sure we can, we aren’t the ones to spread the rumors.” Seiichi said, he was curious on what made Neku so shy all of a sudden. “Well…I, oh geez, I…I think I like someone.” The famous boy said. That made his friends go wide eyed and extremely curious. “This…THIS is new!” The wise ass yelled in surprise. “Indeed, I’m sure you can instantly charm your way into her heart you know. So…” The royal one stated. “Right…you know Shino Arai? Um…” Neku stopped there, the two would know how the sentence would end. But their reactions were rather calm. “Really? I think you two would be great together.” Satoru said with strange calmness. “Yes indeed, but may I ask why her?” Seiichi questioned. “I have a hunch that she has a crush on me and all, plus I think she’s rather cute in her own way. And I think she can compliment my…ah crap lost my train of thought.” Neku sighed. “Oh? The most famous guy in school is INFATUATED with the silent girl? This...this is like a romance setting from a clichéd movie.” The lilac haired boy mused. “If it means anything, I am glad that you found someone.” “Shut it.” Neku responded with a visible blush. “Aw the calm guy is blushing? Shit, who are you and what did you do to Neku?” Satoru cracked as the boy in question got up and tried to rush Satoru…but he tripped on his own feet and fell flat on his face. “And he’s clumsy to? Oh my.” “But nevertheless…why are you telling us first?” The royal one said as the fallen boy got up. “I just wanted to tell you and I just wanted to get that off my chest.” “It’s gonna remain there until you ask her out. Have you made any subtle hints to her? You know stuff like an occasional look in her eyes and smile, help her pick up stuff she dropped, having a small chat with her?” The blonde asked. “N-No but there’s a reason.” The dark purple haired boy said. “And I think you, Seiichi, know why.” “Any subtle hints to her will instantly make her a large target yes?” “Yeah, so…how should I go about it? Love letter?” The silent one mused. “But then again I don’t know her shoe locker…” “Perhaps you can grab her number? Maybe you can bump into her somehow and ask her? Honestly I would go all in.” Satoru said. “He’s more subtle than that…besides this IS your first girlfriend yes?” Seiichi asked Neku, who nodded yes. “So you want tips on how to approach her?” “JUST GIVE ME SOMETHING DAMMIT!” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Om nom nom.” Lillian ate her lunch rather quickly, she didn’t eat a lot of breakfast and she was starving. She and her friends were eating inside the classroom. “Slow down, I feel like crumbs are gonna decorate my face.” Jun sighed as she turned away. “Sheesh Lil, last time I saw you eat like this was when you skipped dinner and breakfast…” Erika stated as she covered her face with her hand. “Swory! Bush itsh sho gewd!” The eating girl tried to speak. “Ugh! Can you at least be more civilized when you eat frantically?” The green haired girl spoke. “Yeah, for once I agree…” The indigo haired girl whispered the last part. “Sorry.” Lillian stopped her frantic eating, she was sensing something. “So, you saw the Ice 33?” Erika asked, before school started the 370Z driver said about meeting the Ice 33 on the speed ring. “Yeah, it was weird…it wasn’t as tough as you two stated it to be.” “Really? You beat it?” The Elise driver asked. “Well she tapped out but a win is a win right?” “Indeed. But did you see who it was?” “Nnope, was racing with my brother at the time so it wasn’t on my list of things to do.” “Tch.” Erika clicked her tongue. “And here I was thinking that we would unveil the driver’s identity.” “Sorry…” The ice blue haired girl sighed in defeat. She felt bad for some reason. “A-Ah! Ah! Don’t worry about it! It was your first time and you were focused on learning the ring so you couldn’t have seen her! Sorry Lil!” Erika waved her hands in apology. “Anyway, maybe we should have a race between the three of us, assess your skills Lillian.” Jun was curious on her driving skills. “Yeah! How about next Sunday?” Erika was getting pumped for this race for some reason. “Sure, I think I can manage that. What time is it?” Lillian replied, she wanted to sleep early. “I say around 10PM? It’s late enough and I know Lillian NEEDS her beauty sleep.” The childhood friend teased. “I least I do sleep, you stay up doing whatever and sleep in the middle of class.” “Shush! Anyway does your brother have eyes on anyone?” Erika switched topics. “What? Hm…well keep it on the down low alright?” The sister had a faint hunch on who Neku liked, she caught a glimpse of a picture on his phone… “Sure, maybe you should whisper it to me rather than say it. I can’t trust Erika with secrets you kno-” “I can keep a secret! I was her childhood friend!” The indigo girl interrupted the green haired girl. “So…who’s the person?” “Well, I believe its Shino Arai.” Lillian whispered quietly. “Really?” The two responded. “Huh.” “Yeah I know, weird eh? Oh look! There’s my brother! What’s he doing?” The Kurubasa sister pointed to Neku. For some reason no one but her group of friends and a blonde haired girl noticed him. He looked at Lillian, in which he made a gesture to keep silent. “Oh…what’s in his hand?” Jun asked. “A love letter?!” Erika answered. “Well at least I think it is anyway.” Neku looked around again before he placed a piece of paper on the desk next to him. It was at that point he sat down at his desk. He looked a bit…nervous? That was new. “Hm…I think my brother has a crush on someone!” Lillian giggled at that thought. “Oh this is gonna be gooood! I wonder what he wrote? Oh look!” Then the girl in question came into the room. The dark blue haired girl looked at her desk and the paper in question, she moved to her desk and picked up the paper. After reading the paper…her face instantly turned red before she frantically hid the piece of paper. “Love letter! Called it!” Erika grinned at the scene. “Man oh man, if Aya was here that would have instantly made the top headlines! Or at least circulate as a rumor.” “Miss Shameimaru? Ah geez, thank goodness she isn’t here. I know that she would eat this gossip up like no other.” Jun sighed as she looked at her phone. “Lunch is almost over…should we follow them after school?” “Hm…I would like for them to be alone. If my brother were to see us he would probably chicken out.” Lillian stretched as she stood up. “Aaaahhh! Anyway it’s my brother’s love life, not ours.” “By the way, I noticed she was staring, who is she?” The indigo haired girl pointed at the blonde girl. She seemed incredibly shy and her red eyes had a sense of innocence. “That’s Stella if I’m not mistaken. Next to Neku?” After a quick nod of acknowledgement she continued. “She’s the most silent girl in the school period. She ain’t gonna open her mouth about the little scene.” The friend answered. “Hm…well she is incredibly soft spoken, so I’ll let her slide.” The childhood friend responded. “Yeah.” The ice blue haired girl said, she couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for her. Just at that moment the bell rang. ============================================================== Just wanted to get the ball rolling, also see the Gundam Seed Destiny and Touhou character references? Huehuehuehue. Also the speed ring...if anyone wanted to know...is based of off the Nagoya Speed Ring from WMMT 3. So if you played the game you should have a fairly good idea on what the track looks like.

Can I say I hit writer's block? Given my schedule and all that...ah oh well. Chapter 5: Prelude to Races “Hah, is this really happening?” Shino asked herself as she was on the school’s rooftop after school. Upon coming back into the classroom there was the note from Neku himself, it simply read to meet at the rooftop. Any fan girl of his would be shoving the note in people’s faces but she kept it down. The girl sighed slowly to ease any tension, she was excited to say the least. “Hey.” Neku’s voice reached Shino’s ears. She blushed immediately and about faced, only to see him fairly close to her. “H-Hi!” She squeaked as she stepped back. That was way too close for her, was she that much in thought to not realize he was there? “S-So…” “Ah right, well I want to make this quick; if I’m not mistaken you want to head home soon yes?” He asked, Neku couldn’t help but admire her blushing. “A-Ah, well I-I don’t mind…” The nervous girl responded. “Well…” The dark purple haired boy started before muttering, “C’mon you thought a lot about this…” “I-Is something the m-matter?” Shino stammered a bit. Being this close to him was too much for her, she just noticed that Neku smelled nice…did he put on some cologne or something? “Well no, well…is it ok if I can get your number?” Neku smiled, he was glad to get that out of the way and remembered some of Seiichi’s tips. What he didn’t expect was the girl to instantly lock up and freeze on the spot. “Um…hello?” “S-S-S-S-Sure!” She answered happily. Was this really happening? Was she dreaming? Shino took out her phone with a very shaky hand. “Cool, so what’s your number?” So they both exchanged numbers, Shino felt like she was in heaven while Neku was just glad to take this step. At the end Neku couldn’t help but lightly brush is hand against her hand before they put away their phones. “Wah!” The dark blue haired girl yelped in surprise. “Oops! Sorry…but I just wanted to say that your hand felt…kinda smooth and soft.” Neku responded with a faint blush. “Ah well would you look at the time, I’ll text you later ok?” “Y-Yeah!” Then Neku hugged her before leaving, needless to say…Shino felt like she was going to explode from happiness. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Way to go man, you have that charm.” Seiichi smirked as the Trio ate at a nearby ramen shop. “Well yeah I guess, but it’s only a small step…” Neku sighed as he contemplated the situation. “Hold on, you said you wanted to take it slow but now you complain that it’s a small step? Hypocrite much?” Satoru replied as he slurped up his noodles. “Ouch man, that hurt inside…and I am impressed that you made a logical argument.” “Geez, just because I joke a lot doesn’t mean I think like an idiot!” The blonde replied as he finished his ramen. “Take it easy man, he just attempted something we do a lot.” The liliac haired boy calmed down the situation. “But progress is progress, a journey begins with a single step right?” “Yeah, hey should I ask her how’s she doing or something?” The dark haired boy asked. “I don’t know if I should say something…” “Well I would text her after you get home, let her get comfortable at home before you say something. Also if she texts you, try to answer back within ten minutes…any longer and she might get suspicious. But that is my experience with women, may not be the same with the silent Shino Arai.” Seiichi said. “For me I would wait a while then respond, like Seiichi said. However the people I date are usually more composed with their time, usually try to respond within the hour. From what I can assume, Shino wouldn’t mind at all as long as you respond.” Satoru followed up. “So…between ten minutes to an hour?” Neku asked as he finished his ramen. “Yeah, but anyway we need to see who’s faster on the highway. How about next Sunday night?” The NSX driver asked. “Sure, can make some time…10PM ok?” The Camaro driver replied. “I don’t see why not, 10PM next Sunday. See you there.” The RX-7 driver said. They finished their ramens and went their own ways home. Then Neku took their advice…he texted Shino after he changed out of his school clothes and into a t-shirt and shorts. They actually had a fairly nice conversation about various topics, which surprised Neku. However what he didn’t see was a snickering sister who snapped a few photos… ________________________________________________________________________________ “Holy heck! So he really IS infatuated with Shino?” Erika asked as she sat on her S2000. It was the Sunday in which they decided to race. It was close to 9:30PM and they were waiting for their time. “Uh-huh. He’s totally got the hots for Shino, but honestly I’m glad my brother found someone at least.” Lillian replied. “How about you then Lillian? You should nab a boyfriend sometime soon.” Jun smiled, she wanted to see the reaction. “Hm…well I don’t want one yet. I mean…well I shouldn’t be talking about my brother in this case but…I don’t feel ready yet?” She responded slowly, it wasn’t that she was nervous but she didn’t know how to respond. “No one is ready for love Lil, it’s spontaneous. But man…Shino Arai and Neku Kurubasa, oddly enough though I think those two are a match perfectly.” Erika replied. “Yeah, I thought that…anyway I think…” The Elise driver started before she went to a person on a laptop. She then came back after a few seconds. “We can go now if we want, the time before us just opened up.” “Alrighty then! Let’s go!” Erika then climbed into her S200 before the other two followed suit. “Ok…so we get on via this freeway entrance and we fly off!” And the race began, the S2000 was leading followed by the Elise and the 370Z. They entered just before the banked turn and they started after they took the turn. The S2000 was doing well, as if the driver was familiar with the track. Next the Elise was slowing down a bit, being a smaller car and such. However what she lacked in speed she made up in extreme precision and nimble turning. Then there was the 370Z, who was extremely aggressive with her driving. At this point they were getting ready to go through the hard right. “Not bad Lillian, you are a bit too aggressive.” Erika said through the radio system that she installed earlier. “Really? Well I think its jjuusstt fine.” Lillian responded as she weaved in and out of traffic. “Whee!” “Seriously Lillian, calm down. Let’s see how you handle a hard turn.” Jun stated as they approached the turn. “Let’s go in order shall we?” No response, but the S2000 was already taking the turn. Erika stepped on the brakes for a quick second before turning the car into a basic drift. She then straightened the car out before she stepped on the accelerator. Then the Elise took the turn, she went as far left as she could safely and stepped on the brakes before taking the apex, in which she slammed the accelerator out of the turn…she did squirrel a bit, but it was minor. Finally it was the 370Z’s turn and it didn’t slow down at all, rather it just drifted through the right…and that surprised the two racers. “WHAT THE HELL LILLIAN?!” Erika screamed in disbelief. “How the hell did you pull that off? I can’t do that yet!” “Lillian…” Jun whispered in both disbelief and fear. “Your father was a GT300 driver yes? Then is some of his blood in you?” “I just can! It’s easy if you played enough VR games on realistic settings!” Lillian hummed in reply, it was like she was singing a song tune. They were casually going through the straight just above the speed limit. “Oh, well I never had the opportunity to play VR stuff.” The S2000 driver simply responded. “Really? Oh wait…realistic setting, yeah I always play casually.” The Elise driver said. “You know Erika I could use part of my savings to get you one if you really want one that bad.” “Oh no! I’ll feel extremely bad! Hold on ladies…” Erika started before a certain car came into view. “Hold on…is that…!” “It can’t be…” Jun continued. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Well we’re here guys.” Seiichi said as they got onto the highway. “Don’t know how our time got moved up but we’ll take it.” “So, we have some time to do a practice lap before we go all out yes?” Satoru asked as he gripped the wheel of his Camaro. The new radio system that Seiichi installed was working well, it was clean all around. “Yes, but seeing as we have a new driver here…I think we should oversee his progress.” “I ain’t a kid idiots. But if you want to, just keep up.” Neku replied as he pressed his accelerator. They were at the technical start/finish line of the course and they just passed the right turn onto the straight. “See you all later, I’m gonna practice.” The Camaro then speed off with a loud American muscle roar. “Impatient as always, let’s see your top speed Neku.” The NSX driver sighed as Neku complied. “It’s some light tuning with an improved single turbo engine. Its street legal but I feel like it can be better.” The RX-7 driver mumbled before pressing on the accelerator. It gave a good rumble before he changed gears. The NSX was not that far behind. “Not bad speed, now we shall check your turning.” “Ugh, you ain’t my teacher asshole.” The RX-7 then slowed down to take the long s turn before the banked right. Neku took the turn like a racer should, slow in and fast out, taking advantage of every inch of the road. “Huh, well I learned something.” Seiichi sighed as he went through the same turns, but he was a bit slower than Neku was. The main difference was that Seiichi preferred to drift around the banked turn rather than a grip style. “Yo, about time you two showed up.” Satoru stated as he slowed down to match his friend’s speed. “Drifiting can slow you down so much…” “Plus it eats away at your tires man, you have the money for them?” The RX-7 driver asked, he was aware of tire wear. “Yeah yeah, but anyway should we just take the rest of this lap together? Think my tires are warmed up.” “Sure.” So the three of them went above the speed limit and took the rest of the lap. They saw some headlight while they passed through the right…but they didn’t care. Just when they were about to start though… “Is that the…?” Seiichi started. “It…it is isn’t it?” Satoru finished. Once Lillian’s friends managed to catch up…the racers were ready to go, Neku’s friends in the front, the R33 in the middle, and Lillian’s friends right at the back. A race was about to begin… “IT’S THE ICE 33!” The racers stated as they saw the ice blue R33 appear in their sights. “Oh…that car?” The Kurubasa twins simply stated. ============================================================== Well this took a while. Lillian: Uh-huh. Definitely held off for a few days. Shush. Neku: You didn't even do the fixes for a while. SHUT UP. Neon: Hey...are we gonna. SHUT UP! BLEH.

SCREW ME I HATE WRITERS BLOCK. Sorry for the stupidly long delay. Chapter 6: The Ice 33 “Tch! Lillian head out!” Erika shouted as the seven car race began. “No. I won’t.” The ice blue haired girl replied rather…sternly. “Erika, if she wants to race then let her. She has proven to be the better driver.” Jun said. “Fine…but I have a bad feeling about this.” The S2000 driver answered weakly. “Neku, I don’t know if you should stay here.” Satoru said as he continued to drive on. “Hah, as if my friend; I have a faint idea of who the Ice 33 is. I may tell you eventually.” Neku responded. “Tch…well it looks like you aren’t leaving then…fine.” Seiichi sighed as he pressed the accelerator. “Alright then, let’s reduce this mob to the main attractions.” The Ice 33 driver mumbled as she was waiting to go. The race order was this: first in line was the NSX, RX-7, followed by the Camaro, the Ice 33 was in between the two groups, followed by the S2000, Elise, and finally the 370Z. This race would change them… “Ok! Let’s rock!” Seiichi shouted as they got out of the hard right. The seven cars accelerated through the straight…but one car was definitely showing a lack of horsepower. “Shit…” Jun said as the 370Z just flew by her. Regardless of her quick handling and precision straights was the Elise’s downfall. “I just can’t get enough power!” Regardless the next set of turns was the large s turns and the banked right. The NSX was entering the s turns fine…but it seemed to come off it’s intended line, which was making it easy for the RX-7 to close the gap. “Dammit! Are my tires giving out?” Seiichi said as he felt the car drift a little bit more then he intended to. “Hey did you change your tires?” Satoru said as he released the accelerator of his car Camaro, he saw the NSX slowly pulling over. “No, you know how I can ma-” “Oh goodness man! Are you seriously using slightly bald tires just to drift? Here I thought you were skillful at drifting the beast!” Neku interrupted, knowing what he was going to say. “So sue me! At least I know how to use these tires! Well anyway looks like these tires are going to go bad soon…I’m pulling out.” “You fucking idiot…” The RX-7 driver stated as he saw the Elise just slipped passed the NSX. “Dammit I’m too weak to continue on.” Jun sighed as she put on her hazards, signaling to the racers that she was out. “Lillian…” “What? Already? Sheesh I thought you had more in you…well anyway time to see who the Ice 33 really is!” Erika exclaimed as she was slowly pulling up to the Ice 33…unfortunately they were coming up to the angled left and she wasn’t paying attention… “Erika!” Lillian screamed as the S2000 missed her chance for the left…but thankfully the S2000 slammed its brakes just before it hit the wall. “GOD DAMMIT! I WAS THIS FUCKING CLOSE!” Erika shouted as she was now out of the race, she slammed her horn a few times as well. “Alright…looks like it’s her and the two ahead…c’mon Camaro just give up!” The R33 driver groaned as they weaved through the traffic. At this point the drivers were approaching the tight s turns. The Ice 33 was giving chase to the Camaro just as it slightly turned to the right, missing the veteran’s line, in which the Ice 33 managed to finish closing the short gap between them. At this point the RX-7 was about four car lengths ahead, the Camaro was barely ahead of the Ice 33, and the 370Z was two car lengths behind the Ice 33. “Damn the Ice 33 just won’t give up!” Satoru grumbled as he tried to shake off the R33…but it seemed to just stick to his rear bumper. At the hard right before track start line the Camaro drifted the turn while the Ice 33 managed to pass him via a simple racing line. “Dammit I don’t have the endurance for this race…alright Neku…beat the Ice 33 for real this time.” “So the real performance begins…” Shino said as the RX-7 slowed down and the 370Z caught up but did not overtake the Ice 33. It was odd that the three racers were only now readying themselves for the real race… “Alright then…” Neku stated as he took off, the other two followed shortly after. They all approached the hard right, the RX-7 took its usual line and the Ice 33 followed while the 370Z drifted through it. It did lose a bit of distance but it was minor when the driver slammed the accelerator. “Shit…the 370Z has more torque on it than last time…” The dark blue haired driver said. Ever since they got their cars the Kurubasa twins went to Tomoyo for some more tuning work, mainly just small things to get a bit more power. But for some reason the 4WD Skyline was not pulling away from the FR 370Z…which confused her. “Shouldn’t I have more power on the ground? Or did she do something to make her car have more torque?” Shino questioned for a quick second. Shaking her head they were approaching the banked right and the RX-7 was still a good distance ahead. Shino threw caution to the wind and took the outside line in order to conserve her speed, thankfully the 370Z wasn’t as smart and executed a drift. That increased the distance between the two female racers. “I can only guess who you are…Ice 33 but I’m damn sure it’s you.” Neku mused as he sighed, he could always come back later whenever he felt like. His first official race with his friends ended in a complete success for him. But against her? No…he wanted to make sure. It was at the angled left and the 370Z executed an early drift while the other two were slowing down a bit. Lillian knew this corner…moderately well enough in which she could keep her speed up and barely touch the wall. Thankfully the early entrance did just the trick and the 370Z was just a few feet behind the Ice 33. “Tch, you are way too aggressive sis…but results don’t lie I guess.” Neku said as he saw the headlights of the 370Z catch up to the Ice 33…and disappear behind the car. “Slipstreaming?” “Gotta slingshot around it.” The 370Z driver stated as she drafted the Ice 33. At this point she was determined as hell to win this race…or at least come second. Last sucks. “Hm…” Shino mused as they approached the tight s turns but she was surprised as she saw the RX-7’s brake lights light up just after they took the veteran’s line. “Is he…” “I’m out but not until…” The dark purple haired boy said as he slowed down to the Ice 33 to pass along his passenger side and lo and behold... “Shino Arai…I knew it.” ============================================================== Again so sorry for the stupidly long delay. I mean...I guess I was just stuck about the planning of the race...so sorry for that.

School is...meh. Chapter 7: The New Face “Shino Arai…I knew it.” Neku stated as he looked left to the interior of the Ice 33. It was the same girl who he had a crush on…and they looked at each other. For a split second they stared into each other’s eyes, the eyes of racers until the roar of a 370Z broke their moment. Strangely enough the two cars got off the freeway at the same exit, with Neku’s RX-7 leading the way. “Huh does Neku know the driver?” Lillian pondered as she watched the two cars, “Oh well a free win is a win!” “So…that really was you.” Shino sighed as they both approached each other. “My assumption was right, the Ice 33 is none other than Shino Arai…” Neku mused as he looked over the driver. “Are you going to tell people?” The girl sighed. Well it is a mystery and I wouldn’t be surprised if he to- “I’m not.” -ld people…wait what? “I’m not gonna tell a soul unless you want me to.” The RX-7 driver smiled at the girl. “Besides…as someone I want to know better, if I did say anything you’d probably hate me.” “Heh, you know I think I act differently here then at school. Perhaps my shyness disappears after I race.” “And I kinda like this side of you, if I may say it makes you appear a bit more…well sexy.” Neku said as he smiled a bit. “Eh?!” That statement made Shino blush like mad as she looked towards the ground and crossed her arms over her chest. “Oh boy…” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Alright students we have two transfer students coming into our class today.” The teacher announced as the inevitable murmuring of the student’s began. “Oh I hope it’s a boy!” A girl student stated. “No way I hope they’re girls, more chances you know.” A boy student said. “Maybe they’re sibling? You know like the Kurubasas!” Another female said. “Since when did we become relevant?” The twins in question asked. “Enough everyone, anyway we will welcome them one at a time. So…please come in.” The teacher then gestured to the door and in came in a beautiful blue haired girl. Her hair reached a bit past her shoulders and she was a looker, she had a relatively bigger bust compared to average women but the way she carried herself…it was like a queen stepped into the room. “My name is Ayumi, and that’s all you need to hear.” She introduced herself as she opened her turquoise eyes and flicked her hair to the right. The tone of her voice was a bit harsh and a little bit loud. Needless to say everyone but the twins was amazed at the stunning female that entered the room. “O…k then, please come in.” The teacher said as the next student walked in. The next girl came in much more gracefully and more…peacefully then Ayumi. Her long pink hair was a nice compliment to her clean and clear blue eyes. She was a bit taller than Ayumi, had a slightly bigger bust then Ayumi and she walked like she was on air. Again many of the students were amazed at her. “My name is Hana, it’s a pleasure to meet everyone here.” She elegantly introduced herself, even bowing to everyone before smiling at them. Her tone was much smoother and calmer then Ayumi’s. “Well this is gonna be an interesting year…Ayumi please sit at the seat behind Tomoyo and Hana you can sit next to the window.” The teacher instructed the two students sat in their respective seats. “I have a feeling this year is going to be interesting…” Neku sighed as the teacher started the lesson. “Wow…I have to admit that those two are definitely lookers.” Seiichi admitted as everyone opened their books. “Well yeah I guess.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Heya there Ayumi, it’s good to see you again!” Lillian greeted Ayumi as she approached her with a lunch box. “A-Ah, hello there…cousin Lillian.” The girl stuttered before Lillian gave her the box. “W-What is this?” “Just a lunch, apparently my mom and dad knew that you were coming and well…yeah, a welcoming package I guess.” “I-I see…then I’ll see you around…then.” Ayumi whispered as Lillian turned back to her friends. “Oh boy…” “So…you know her Lillian?” Erika questioned as she returned to her seat. “Yup, that’s my cousin and…” She then looked through Erika’s bag and took out a fashion magazine. “…she is also a model.” “What?” Jun was appalled as Lillian opened to a page that featured none other than Ayumi in some fashionable outfit. “WHAT?!” “Uh-huh, she’s my cousin and my aunt does the same thing…let’s see…” Lillian then flipped back a few pages to show Ayumi and Airis wearing somewhat similar outfits. “See?” “First you have an ex-GT300 driver as a father and now I see that you are related to a fucking model? Jeez I have never met someone with so…unique of a family.” The green haired girl sighed. “Wait…Lillian go back to a page you skipped.” “Why? You take it.” Lillian then threw the magazine and Jun caught the thrown magazine as she turned a few pages and saw a familiar pink haired girl. She then made her friends look at the page. “Hold up…THAT’S Hana?” Erika’s mind possibly imploded on learning that fact an idol was in their school. It was some sort of promo for her newest album as well as a small an announcement that she was taking a three year break. “I see…ah well look at the crowds though.” Lillian then pointed to the idol and model. There were at least twenty people around them…give or take around three or so. Surprisingly Ayumi liked the crowd while Hana felt extremely uncomfortable. Hana then stood up and quickly left the room…with some grace in her step. ________________________________________________________________________________ If there was one thing Hana didn’t like, it was the annoying fans that kept asking her for her autograph or something like that. She didn’t like doing public activities with the fans…it always tired her out and really grated at her nerves. Oh how she would like to just give them a mean few sentences or, if needed, give them a good sucker punch. “Hana please sign this!” “Miss Hana please autograph this! This is your latest album! I still support you!” “If you don’t mind Hana it would be nice if you could join our club…or at least be a supervisor.” There was another thing that also bothered her…it was Ayumi, the teenaged model. The blue haired broad just ate up the attention from both men and women. Just how the hell does she manage the annoying voices? She could only internally shout for them to shut up as she got fed up with the people around her. So Hana shot up, picked up her lunch, and quickly left the room, it felt kind of weird to not be led by body guards. The idol pushed her way out of the crowd and into the hallway…where more people were at. The requests kept coming, can’t they just shut up?! “Ugh…” The stressed idol groaned lightly as she rushed towards the roof…at least she hope it was, the stairs did lead upwards and the last thing she needed was to get caught in a dead end. “Hana please join out club!” “Miss Hana please sign this!” “Oh Hana please be my friend!” She kept her internal thoughts to herself as she picked up the pace to a brisk walk. Oddly enough the amount of people following her seemed to decrease, maybe some fans acknowledged her private space? Well it was a welcome change as she got to the roof, there were a few voices though. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Still a model and an idol? What are the odds?” Satoru said as the guys ate at the roof. “At least the heat from us will die down quite a bit right?” “Can’t argue with that.” Seiichi stated as the door opened and out came a certain pink haired idol. “Oh…I didn’t expect people to be here.” Hana said, trying to suppress her stress from earlier. “I hope you don’t mind that I eat up here…right?” “No, it’s fine. Somehow this is kinda like safe haven for those with annoying people following them.” Neku responded as he continued eating. “I see…thank you. So I must guess that you three are like school idols?” “Indeed we are, so don’t worry about us.” Neku smiled back at the idol. “I must admit though, you are quite a looker yourself…dark purple haired boy.” “Neku, the lilac one is Seiichi, and the blonde one is Satoru.” The silent one introduced. “Ok then, so if you don’t mind I’m quite hungry right now.” Thus Hana went some distance away from them before starting to eat. “Huh, she’s interested in you Neku. But I still assume the quiet Shino is more your type?” Seiichai asked. “Yeah, I mean my family has some odd connections and relations don’t you think?” Neku smiled. “Aye, can’t deny that.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “And now for chemisty…” Shino hummed as she made her way through her homework. It was around 7PM when she started, honestly she wanted to go out to the highway but she couldn’t overlook her homework. Plus she thought that Neku would want an above average intelligent lady rather than a procrastinator. She only opened her book before her phone rang. “Hello?” “Hey there Shino, just wanted to say hi.” Neku’s voice was a warm welcome to Shino. “Oh hey. I’m just starting my chemistry homework and I hope that you aren’t busy.” “Sorry I’m on the highway, just wanted to check in I guess? But as long as it isn’t numbers I can help.” “How do you start the first question?” “Oh…take the grams of whatever and then divide it by the…weight of the element?” “Ok I can get it from there…why did you grunt?” Neku did grunt as Shino started the problem. “There’s a BMW M4 right on my tail, sorry but I think it wants to race call you later. *click*” “An M4? Where…where did that car come from?”

Alright. Chapter 8: Her Pride “Alright M4, let’s see how you do…” Neku stated as he pressed firmly on the accelerator as the RX-7 accelerated forward and the M4 followed him…way too closely. “Shit, the engine’s already running at its max and I can’t pull away.” “Hmph.” The driver of the M4 grunted. This is way too easy of a prey, there is no reason to face this person…it’s not even tuned well. “Well, let’s get a few laps in. There’s no point on facing such a pathetic local.” “What?” The RX-7 was quickly overtaken by the M4, at that moment he saw the car. It was a silver colored BMW M4 with a GT wing on the back, there was no body kit on it…like it needs one. After gaining a little bit of space the M4 brake lights flashed a few times before the M4 blasted off. “Well I didn’t think I would win anyway. Time to call Shino, but I should be in a safer place first.” “Hello Neku, how did the race go?” Shino asked, she had a distinct feeling that he lost…but it was a BMW M4… “Failed horribly, couldn’t last a damn second on the straight. Bah well logically speaking that car does have more power than my RX-7, maybe more than your R33 as it is.” Neku responded, Shino however couldn’t help but feel a tinge of anger. “I…I see.” The girl quickly replied, trying not to inject any venom into that sentence. “Did I catch you at a bad time? You seem a bit pissed.” “A-Ah no no I’m fine! Just having a bit of trouble with a problem that’s all!” She lied, Shino never wanted to lie…but she did. “I see, well I’m gonna head home now. Stay safe ok?” Neku then hung up… ________________________________________________________________________________ …but Shino still had her phone up to her ear. She was feeling an emotion she never felt before, so she tried to deduce what it exactly was. Her first guess was anger…and she wasn’t that far off. Shino noticed her teeth were clenched and her free hand was curled into a fist, readying to punch something. Now that she knew what the emotion was…why was she mad? It had to be from that conversation that just happened, else it would be a random flashback to an angry moment from her past and she wasn’t having one of those. What was it that Neku stated? “Failed horribly…” No it wasn’t that, in fact she knew that racers both win and lose a lot so it wasn’t that…although it would be a lie to say that she wasn’t feeling a little bad for Neku. He did lose due to performance…ah well. “Did I catch you…” No, no, that wasn’t it either. Shino was actually on a good stride with her homework and she was actually about to finish up, somehow the last problem was the easiest one of the bunch and all she needed to do was punch the numbers into a calculator. It definitely was not that. “…maybe more then you R33 as it is.” Shino felt her fist clench hard, that was it. Although Neku was being logical she could only believe that Neku was indirectly taunting her horsepower. But he would never do that…he love-…liked her enough to not make her mad. “Dammit…do I have more pride then I thought?” The driver of the Ice 33 sighed as this revelation came over her. She was not a prideful person, she never wanted to be boastful, she never wanted to have pride, because in pride comes arrogance…to her at least. But after some thinking…she couldn’t shake the anger of her ego away, she was prideful. Prideful of being the elusive and feared street racer the Ice 33... …and she felt sick. “ARGH!” Shino then punched the air in efforts to punch away the egotistical part of her away, but it kept rising within her, taunting her. Unconsciously she got up and changed into a blue sweatshirt and some knee length pants before she started on a jog. Whenever she was angry Shino would always jog around for a bit in order to calm herself down…but today? “Fucking hell!” Shino grunted as she picked up her jog into a full on sprint. The only thing she did to quickly rid herself of anger…but her pride would not leave. She continued for another three minutes before she stopped to catch her breath. “Why?!” “Um…” Unbeknownst to Shino a certain pink haired classmate was right where she stopped. Hana was confused to say the least. “Ah fuck, sorry.” The girl cursed as she continued to catch her breath. “Was…just running, don’t…worry about me.” “If I’m not mistaken, you are Shino Arai yes?” The dark blue haired girl was now looking up at the girl, she was wearing glasses and had on a hoodie in an attempt to hide her pink hair. Too bad Shino knew who it was. “Hana…what do you want?” “Shit, does my disguise not work?!” The idol then fumbled around in attempts to hide her face more. “Dammit how did this not work, it worked in the city!” “Calm down, your pink hair’s sticking out a bit too much, your bangs were exposed.” The runner regained her breath and stood straight, she couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for the idol. “Ah shit, next time I better check my hair next time, anyway why did stop in front of me? You aren-” “I’m fucking not…sorry I’m a bit mad right now.” “I see, well my mom says that talking to others about your problems helps and I was out on a walk, so do you want to talk?” Hana asked as Shino stood there, a bit stunned before she shook her head and nodded yes. They were nearby a park and found a bench there. “I-Is pride a bad thing?” Shino said after a minute of silence. “No, I don’t think so. There are people in the world who pride themselves in something but only when they feel confident in it. Me for example…I am prideful for being successful in the idol industry, but I never show that pride anywhere else but to myself.” “Why?” “Because that type of pride is arrogant, not many people can achieve that level of fame. It reminds me of a certain blue haired broad…er, well her color was a brighter shade of blue, not you!” Hana stumbled on her words before Shino gave a small chuckle. “I get you, its Ayumi right?” “Yes, she must pride herself in being prettier and more popular than everyone else and she revels in it. That type of pride is arrogant and painful to see. So you must have a reason for asking about pride, what do you pride yourself in?” Shino shifted a bit uncomfortably as she decided to tell her secret or not…but she needed someone to talk to. “Can you promise me not to tell anyone?” “Things like this are kept between us girls.” “Alright…well I’m a racer, an illegal street racer who races on the highway nearby and I go by the name Ice 33.” Shino started, Hana noticed that she was pretty uncomfortable and shuffled around quite a bit. She wanted to say something but kept silent. “And today my…um friend called me, he’s a street racer too and he lost to another car that was much more powerful than his…it’s a German car and he drives a Japanese car. So after his loss he called me and told me that he lost badly and…” “And? Your story doesn’t end here.” The idol then noticed the street racer inhaled and exhaled heavily, her exhale trembling a bit as if she was holding back tears. “He…he said that the car he fought had more power than mine did…then he hung up. But for some reason…I felt angry like a small part of me was challenged and I…well am here.” Shino sighed, but like her exhale it was shaky. “Why…I…I’m not prideful…” “You are. Denial is the firs-” What Hana didn’t expect was to be interrupted by the girl who viciously grabbed her hoodie and pulled her close to the racer’s face. “I. AM. NOT. PRIDEFUL!” Shino screamed at the idol. Thankfully there seemed to be no one around. “I. AM. NOT. PRIDEFUL!” “Apologies.” Hana then gave Shino a hard right hook to her face, the racer recoiled in pain as she held her head. Thankfully her earlier state of denial was dispatched quickly. “Ow…you know for an idol you punch hard.” The dark blue haired girl stated as she nursed her cheek…that really stung. “Well all that exercise in the movements and everything makes great body strength and I do apologize for using it on you. But now that you are…clear again, tell me…are you denying your pride?” Shino just looked away. She wanted to be free of arrogance, free of pride, free from boasting. But…but she couldn’t deny her pride as the Ice 33…her legendary status from middle school. Her regular life was a shy, everyday schoolgirl with a huge crush on a popular schoolboy and was too afraid to approach him. But at night…she was the Ice 33, she was the feared racer on the Speed Ring and the relevant highway roads in Ushiroyama, her R33 was an extension of her, she was a street racer. “I am. And I don’t know what to do.” “Pride is not a bad thing, it is how you show that pride that matters. I’m sure your friend is prideful in some aspect in his life. It is how you show it that matters.” After that Hana got up and walked home. Shino was just sitting there, debating on Hana words. “I…I have the pride of a racer… …the pride of being the Ice 33.”

Impressive. I like the continuity here. Keep it up.

A bit on a roll here. Don't expect this too often. Chapter 9: A Plan Shino felt different as she woke up. After that revealing talk with Hana she headed straight home, took a quick shower, and quickly went to sleep. Perhaps she was not shy, but rather she was just afraid of people reacting to her pride…but would she want to show her prideful self around? The possibilities swarming her head were too much for her and to wake up with these problems? She didn’t know how to react. “Maybe I should be a bit more bold…perhaps that will help. But is that enough?” Shino sighed as she got dressed for school. The words from Hana lingered in her mind a lot more than it should. Pride is not a bad thing, it is how you show it that matters. “This small step can maybe help me…” The driver of the Ice 33 then looked at her phone for the time. Unfortunately her body went into overdrive as she looked at the time. “AH SHIT! IT’S 7:40?! CRAP I’M GONNA BE LATE! Ah man I’m gonna have to sit with everyone huh?!” The girl grabbed the rest of her school items, sprinted out of her apartment, locked the door, and headed directly to the bus stop nearby. Thank goodness she sprinted, the bus just came and she knew that if she missed the next bus she would be late. However she also didn’t expect someone else to be here… “Oh? Shino?” A certain dark purple haired boy said, just loud enough for her to hear it. Neku was here…was he sitting alone? And did he just offer her to sit next to him?! “H-Hey…” She replied weakly as she sat down next to Neku. The girl felt her face burning bright red…and the numerous death stares the other girls on the bus had given her. “S-So…how are you?” “Fine actually. My sis slept over at one of her friend’s places, so it was peaceful at home.” Neku replied casually. Shino couldn’t believe how far she was in terms of this relationship! Most girls would kill to be where she was at…and the stares felt like daggers were piercing into her shoulder blades. “I-I see, we-well last night I-I had so-some trouble spea-sleeping!” Shino muttered over her words, the close proximity and the stares made her mess up! Thankfully Neku chucked it off. “Don’t fret so much Shino. Now if you don’t mind…” The boy yawned a bit before…placing his head on her shoulder?! “Eek!” The girl silently squeaked as she processed the action. The stares were not daggers anymore but freaking missiles! Wah… ________________________________________________________________________________ “Well that went smooth.” Neku sighed as he conversed with his friends, the teacher was running a bit late so everyone was talking a bit. “Indeed it has.” Seiichi replied, he was looking at Shino. Needless to say she was as rigid as a statue. “I didn’t think that my plan would make her like that.” Satoru said as he shrugged. “Maybe I should remind you that Shino is shy and the Neku was never that bold to begin with.” “Ah well, at least he asserted who he likes. But I can’t help but feel that Shino is now the target.” “Well anyway…what’s next Seiichi?” Neku stated. Last night he actually talked with them about trying to make more of an advance to Shino, he wanted a subtle yet firm way to make sure Shino knew that he loved her. “But let me just say…that was WAY too coincidental for that part to work out! That’s like firing a sniper rifle from the hip and managing to hit a target a few hundred meters away…in the head!” “Sorry, but it worked right?” Satoru chuckled as he turned forward, signaling his exit from the conversation. “Ask her out on an outing. That’s my idea.” The lilac haired boy simply responded. “An outing…a date?” Neku questioned. “No, an outing. It’s not a real date but a general hanging out.” “But between a boy and a girl? People are going to say it’s a date.” “Let them talk, it’s not official until you both acknowledge it.” “Gah…well I’ll talk to her at lunch.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “You know brother, people are going to say it’s a date.” “I KNOW!” Neku rudely responded to Lillian’s statement later on in the day after school. He was now regretting telling her sister the plan he had for Shino. “No need to be so rude to your sister Neku.” Shizuko’s voice came into their ears as she got upstairs carrying the finished laundry. “But people are going to say it’s a date. Just be prepared.” “Aw don’t worry about it Neku, me and your mother did a lot of these outings before we started dating.” Neon stated as he poked his head out the master bedroom. “Well we were dating at that time sweetie…you can’t say that.” “Er…wow my memory sucks then. But anyway it’s okay to meet with a female friend after school, what time are you going to go?” “I’m leaving at 7PM.” The son responded. Unfortunately the lingering silence from his father was not helping him. “Um, son just be aware of people saying stuff.” “Huh?!” “Told ya, have fun on your ‘outing’…ah screw it have a fun date!” Lillian sang as she headed back to her room. “Screw this…alright then, what should I wear?” “If you don’t want to make this a date, then don’t wear anything nice.” Shizuko stated as she gave Neku his laundry. “But wouldn’t that make me look bad?” “Such is the price of an outing…honestly if it was a little bit after school this would fly over a lot more smoothly.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “So a date huh?” Shino mused as she lay on her bed. There was no getting around what Neku asked; it was a god damn date. And she was anticipating it. Maybe she should be a little brave with her clothing choices…but a conservative look would help Neku reinforce her opinion of her. “But…” But after that…experience with Neku, the idea of pride still got to her…GAH! This was too much for her! She grabbed her head as she shook it around. She wanted to ask Neku about this and in thinking that she had a great topic of discussion for the date. Soon she received a text message from Neku asking to see if it was ok to push the outing up to 6PM. Well she wasn’t going anywhere… “I don’t see a problem.” The girl then texted it was ok and got up. She was bored now and it was around 4:15. Maybe she could sleep until then and that’s what she did. “Mmm…” She woke up an hour later and took a shower before picking her wardrobe for the date. Maybe a more conservative look would help her today, they weren’t dating yet and she didn’t want to show anything…yet. So she grabbed a dark blue v neck shirt with a maroon cardigan and finished it off with some blue pants. It was simple and nothing too bold, just conservative to her tastes. Shino then contemplated about wearing some make up, in hindsight she was naturally beautiful…but the idea of applying some light make up would be nice. Unfortunately a quick call from Neku dismissed the idea, he was already here. “Heya.” Neku stated as Shino entered into his RX-7. He was wearing a blue polo shirt with a unique black jacket and had black jeans on. Was this his idea of conservative? Cause it looked hot, in fact he could probably do some sort of photo shoot and he look sexy…however that made Shino blush a bit as she asked herself: Did I really just think that?! “Hey.” Shino was going to be brave today. The idea of showing some pride made her, apparently, less shy, in theory. Let’s see if it works. “Oh? Feeling a bit brave today Shino?” “You bet Neku, now if you don’t mind shall we go?” “Heh you appear a lot sexier today even with the conservative clothing. Alright then, let’s do a quick run around the ring first.” So the RX-7 headed onto the freeway and Neku couldn’t help but admire the woman next to him. Shino Arai seemed so much different tonight, it wasn’t the timid schoolgirl from this morning…this was a god damn woman. The way her eyes looked sharper compared to her clear and nice looking eyes, the small yet slightly seductive smile compared to her relatively small frown, and the way the moonlight seemed to radiate off her? Shit, Neku was blushing the entire way. “Hm? Neku, look in the rearview mirror.” The woman said as Neku did as she said…and there was a red Lotus Elise. “Wait, I think that’s one of my sister’s friend’s cars. Looks like she wants to race.” The RX-7 driver said as he pressed the accelerator. Shino’s question about pride could wait…she want to know how the one who, indirectly, insulted her car could drive.

Wow...3 chapters with a bit more then a week...I think? Well now. Chapter 10: The “Outing” “So…why am I riding shotgun again?” Lillian asked as her green haired friend entered the speed ring. “I’m worried about your skills, not that they’re bad, but you’ll die if you keep it up.” Jun responded as she pressed the accelerator on her Elise. “That much drifting will end up killing your tires and I’m sure your parents won’t like having to buy new tires every freaking week or so.” “Ah shut it. I have my style right? Everyone is different yes?” “But that difference is borderline insanity, you will die one day. Just humor me and let me show you a grip style, it may be more helpful than your drifts.” The driver sighed as the passenger crossed her arms and puffed her cheeks. “Bah, fine. Wait…is that?” “Looks like your brother is here today…isn’t he supposed to be on a date with Shino?” “Yeah, looks like they want to run around a bit first…this could be interesting.” Lillian smirked as she prepared herself. “All yours Junny, let’s see what you can do.” “Junny? Really? Ugh, fine.” The Elise driver shook her head as she approached the rear of the RX-7. Soon the red RX-7 pulled away from the Elise, but only for a bit as the Elise moved into the draft to catch up to the lead car. At this point they were at the long straight just after the right turn. And they kept accelerating until they approached the s turns before the banked right. “Alrighty then Jun, let’s see what your ‘grip’ style can do.” The ice blue haired girl stated as she braced herself for turn. No response, rather the Elise managed to follow the RX-7’s line, albeit a little slowly…but someone wasn’t having fun. “WAAAHHH!!! TOO MUCH G FORCES!!!” Lillian screamed as she hugged herself in order to steel herself. “Doesn’t drifting have more G forces?” Jun asked as they approached the banked right. At this point the RX-7 was hugging the inside line while the Elise was on the outside, going to do a standard out-in-out turn. “Shut it!” The passenger pouted as the Elise sharply turned in for the in part of the banked turn, to her advantage the space between them decreased a bit and the RX-7 was only a split second ahead of the Elise. “Grr…your brother’s good I’ll admit.” The driver stated as she prepared herself for the angled left, the RX-7 was taking the middle line and was most likely going to drift around the left. And as she guessed, the RX-7 did a nice small drift…but the Elise’s cornering somehow made it slingshot pass the turn. “My…body…” Lillian mustered as the G forces from such a turn made it feel like her body was going to rip itself apart. “If you feel so bad then just bloody knock out.” Jun planted her foot on the accelerator and weaved through the remaining traffic, the RX-7 doing the same but a bit more slowly than the Elise…and sooner then she expected, Lillian’s eyes closed as she blacked out due to the swift and nimble turns of the Elise. “Tch…maybe she isn’t used to a nimble pattern. Ah well, c’mon Neku…let me analyze you.” Now they were at the tight s turns and the RX-7 was about to enter it. The Elise was right behind him but as they enter it…Jun couldn’t believe how close the RX-7 was to the wall, it felt like the Mazda’s door was practically scratching the wall! “Shit…gotta hand it to your brother Lillian, Neku has some skills.” Jun resigned as she flashed a few times as the RX-7 drifted through the hard right. Too bad Lillian was still knocked out…“Seriously though, you can stomach a lot of drifts yet you can’t handle a single lap grip style?” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Impressive…” Shino said as the ‘couple’ exited the highway. Surprisingly Neku managed to shake off the Elise, she was ashamed that the Elise managed to beat her a few times due to her nimble performance. Still though, she knew that the RX-7 had less horses then the Ice 33 but to be beat the Elise? Perhaps…perhaps she wasn’t the best racer on the Ushiroyama highway anymore. And that made her feel sad. “Is something wrong?” Neku asked as they turned right onto another street. “Well…no, I’m fine.” Shino lied again, she hated lying. “Are you sure?” “Didn’t your father or mother ever tell you not to butt into other people’s business?!” The girl shouted back to the driver. The stunned look on his face instantly made her regret her action. “So-” “It’s ok.” The boy quietly responded, it was quiet…but it stung like a million needles to Shino. She just insulted him and maybe indirectly insulted his family…they must be good parents and they must have raised Neku right to be who he is today. She was asked out on a date and now she possibly jeopardized the relationship she dreamed of. And that made her panic like crazy. Unfortunately the rest of the ride was deathly silent, other than the sounds of the city. The tension was thick, Shino thought of opening the window to let some of the tension out…but she was afraid of moving. Thankfully the RX-7 stopped at a diner and not at her house. Slowly Shino moved to exit the car and Neku did the same a little but later. Nothing was said and the tension inside the car managed to come outside as well. So the two entered into the diner and waited to be seated. “Ah Neku right?” The waitress asked the boy. “Yeah, hello again.” He responded, that made Shino raise an eyebrow. “Do you know her…?” Shino squeaked out as she was still nervous from earlier. “My family comes here often so we are well known by the people here.” Neku calmly replied, the dark blue haired girl wasn’t sure if he was calm from the tension earlier or if he was trying to suppress his anger. “I see…” “So just the two of you? May I be so bold to say something?” The waitress asked as she was looking for a table. “Sorry, but not now.” The boy said as he placed his hands in his pockets. “Ah, ok then. I see a perfect table for the two of you, if you will follow me…” She then picked up two menus and led the two to a booth table. There she placed the menus on opposite sides of each other before smiling at the two, when they sat down. “May I grab you two something to drink?” “May I just get water, no lemon?” Shino said, trying her best to smile despite the earlier argument. “Can I get the fruit soda special?” Neku replied next, the waitress was chuckling a bit. “It seems that you are the only one who gets that nowadays, well I’ll be right back.” She then turned around and left to get the drinks. Silence reigned over the two… “Um Neku, I apologize for my outburst earlier…I…I…” Shino started but sighed as she noticed Neku giving a blank stare to the window. She definitely fucked up the relationship… “It’s alright.” Those short words from Neku stabbed Shino harshly again. “Let me ask…is pride bad?” If anything, the lucky girl wanted to at least start a conversation with him. “Pride? It’s not bad, it’s ok to boast about some stuff but don’t go overboard. Pride is not a bad thing, it is how you show it that matters.” Neku blankly replied as he shook his head and looked at the menu. It took Shino a bit but she eventually picked up the menu and looked at it. But as she looked at it the last sentence echoed through her head again, it was the same thing that Hana said to her…did their parent’s know each other or was this simply coincidence? “I see…is there anything good here? I’ve never been here before so…” The girl was now desperate to restart the date on a better tone then before…but the way he stared blankly…dammit! “Well there are a few things that I like that are not on the menu, it’s a secret menu that my family and regulars know of.” Neku responded…not as dead as before. Perhaps she could restore this date! “Really? Then get something for me then! I like almost everything, everything except extremely spicy stuff.” “I see, well now…should I surprise you?” He asked almost seductively…well now this date can now be restored! “Hm? I guess so then, surprise me.” The girl replied normally…but inside she was jumping around like mad! The date can be restored! “Hey Shino, I know what you meant earlier and I do apologize…my dad said that I was a bit nosy at times. So I do apologize…” “No no no, I was being rude when I was saying that! Honestly I just think a lot so…” “It’s ok.” Neku smiled as he held Shino’s hands. She blushed hard and felt her face lighting up from the heat approaching her face. “Sorry for…the wait.” The waitress came back with the two drinks and saw the young couple holding hands. Needless to say she gave a small smile. “Here are your drinks…and what may I get you two?” “Ah!” The couple jumped back in surprise. “Did I interrupt something? Neku, I’m sure your father would like to hear this…” “Please don’t say anything to him! I’ll tell him in due time. But we would like…” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Whew that was great.” Shino said again as they stopped in front of Shino’s apartment. Neku thought it would be a good idea to escort her to her front door. “See? I know some good stuff there. Anyway here we are.” Neku smiled at the girl. The date had a very rough bump but in the end it was good. “Well I still feel bad for earlier…but it worked in the end huh?” “Yeah it did. But yeah, how did you enjoy this outing?” “Outing? Well an ‘outing’ is nice but this ‘date’ was really great.” Shino air quoted as she giggled at his blush. “So this ends it right? I’ll see you tomorrow?” “Maybe…but aren’t you forgetting something?” She felt a little bolder today and wanted to end the date with a kiss. “Perhaps, I know that the next step may pass my own set of rules but for you? Maybe I’ll let it slide.” Neku then held Shino’s chin for a bit…before their faces closed in and the two had a small kiss. It was short…but it was enough for her. “Again…” Shino whispered as the two of them kissed shortly again. “Again…” “Wait.” Neku shook his head as he let go of Shino. “Stop…I’m sorry but I’m not ready for the next step.” “What do you mean?” The girl really enjoyed that kiss and she wanted to press her lips against his. It was nice and she technically gave her first kiss to him…something she valued a lot. “I don’t think I can call you my girlfriend yet an-” “So what was this then? Was this not a date?” “It was an outing Shino…please understand.” Shino inhaled and exhaled heavily, she hated how this entire thing to him was an ‘outing’. It was a bloody date and they ended with a kiss too! The next step would be to be to go out as boyfriend and girlfriend! Was he like his friends too, who had a lot of girls?! “Yeah right.” She crossed her arms and tapped her foot. She was NOT amused. “I know what you want, but think for a second…are you REALLY ready to become my girlfriend?” Neku sighed, hoping the lights would turn on. “What do yo…” The lights turned on for her. Being his girlfriend now would mean that she would face the bloody weight of his fan club and possibly be bullied…she wasn’t mentally ready for that nor did she want to be on the number one spot in the school’s gossip. “No…no I’m not.” “See? But Shino let me say this much at least.” He grabbed Shino’s shoulders and looked her straight in the eyes. “I really do li…no I shouldn’t lie, I LOVE you Shino. Even with our little exposure together I really have fallen for you. But we should both be ready for the next step and its consequences and I don’t think it’s time yet.” With a sigh, Shino nodded. She didn’t feel ready for that stuff…and deep inside she knew not to push this too far too early. Perhaps she just wanted to have a relationship with him and steal him away from everyone. The girl was glad to have someone stop her before it went too far. “Can you at least kiss me one last time? No one from school lives here…” “Well ok.” Neku resigned to the girl’s desire as they kissed again…but it was much more intimate. After two seconds Neku hugged Shino as he leaned into the kiss, Shino was surprised but she let her hormones drive this kiss. Soon she opened her mouth slightly to let her tongue enter Neku’s mouth. He was surprised at first but he accepted the gesture and soon they were trading their saliva with each other. This continued for thirty more seconds. “Haa…haa…” The young couple gasped for air as they broke their kiss. Both of their faces were red with passion…but they knew not to take it any further today. “See you tomorrow.” The boy stated as he wiped his mouth and left. Neku couldn’t help but swallow a bit of the saliva…it had a sweet taste to it. “Yeah.” The girl replied as she opened her door, she also couldn’t help but swallow some of the saliva. It had a distinct taste and she wanted more. But today was over…and she couldn’t help but feel a bit prideful of what happened today.

Alright, this chapter does not count for the 3 chapters for the spring break...update period. Chapter 11: The Model, The Idol, and The Civilian “Another day in the sticks eh?” Ayumi sighed as she tapped the steering wheel of her BMW M4. She was bored; this town wasn’t as exciting as the city. There were fewer buildings, it was a bit darker, and everything seemed off…it didn’t have the bustle of a regular city. This town was quiet, serene, and calm...and it felt off. Heck the model couldn’t see why her mother decided to go here rather than the beach apartment…at least that place was nicer. “Ah well, I guess the sticks has some redeemable features.” She smiled as she got on to the highway. At least this town has a pretty good street racing scene, it could almost be compared to the city. She knew about the website for the races and everything but she decided to be an unknown enigma…whoever she came across, she raced them. Too bad there were a shit ton of Japanese cars, however she was in Japan so…bah whatever. “Let’s go.” The model then pressed the accelerator as she started her run. There was something nice about being in the sticks though, a new track, thus a new way to race. The Wangan roads were nice and plentiful but after a while…they could get a bit tiring. She started at the start finish line and she decided to try a drift style, too bad her car was more grip based. “Tch.” Ayumi clicked her tongue as she squirreled her car back into position. One thing she noticed when she first started was that the cars here tend to be looser in their style; there weren’t many places to accelerate up to top speed. So she tried to adapt to their style on her own time, but it seemed to end badly…well not crashing badly but…yeah. “Hm?” As she started the long straight there was a black car in her rearview mirror that caught her eye, it was coming in quite fast…and as it past her she couldn’t help but smile. “A Jaguar F-Type? Hehehe…” ________________________________________________________________________________ “That M4…” The idol started as she passed the BMW in question, soon it started to give chase, although it was slow in doing so. Hana sighed, she had seen this M4 a few times back in the city. She couldn’t believe that the M4 would follow her here…or maybe the car’s driver has some family here. Whatever, it was still a thorn in her side. “Still, I guess this is ok.” Hana was actually glad to hear that her mother was thinking of giving her a break. The whole media bullshit was getting on her nerves and she needed a break…but she never expected there to be so many fans. It grinded her nerves and driving was one way to release that anger, so a good race would help her relax. However she shook her head as they approached the large s turns before the banked right. The F-Type was not tuned much; it was pretty good from the factory. “Now.” She lightly tapped her brakes as the F-Type was in the middle of the s turn before she feathered her accelerator into a long but skillful drift into the banked right, the car was only a few centimeters from touching the wall. Hana was glad she got some lessons in drifting, her status and those two concerts held near Suzuka and Fuji raceways which just so happened to be holding some drifting events at the same time. “Is that it?” Hana smiled as she saw the M4 slowly fall behind. Perhaps this track was much more suitable for her style, it wasn’t a top speed track but a skill based one. She gracefully returned the F-Type back to normal position before she pressed onwards to the rest of the track. The M4 never really caught up, perhaps it was a relative of the driver… “Oh well…eh?!” The idol was making good time past the angled left before a dark blue car with two white stripes slipped past her, that was unexpected. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Ah great, a German and a British car? Fuckin’ great…” The driver sighed as she shook her head. Her medium dark pink hair reached no longer then her should and her blue eyes were constantly looking around for any other cars. Soon the F-Type was approaching her, well she wasn’t going all out. “Looks like the British want to race huh.” She grunted as she pressed her accelerator to unleash all the American power her 1999 Viper had to give. Of course the vast differences in the technology of the two cars really showed, the F-Type was closing the gap. She smiled as the tight s turns came up, if the driver was new to the track then she should at least gain some space as she took the sacred veteran’s line. “Heh.” The Viper managed to take the line as the F-Type slowed down for a small bit and took the common line, she smirked at her experience here. But she thought it would be cool to have a race between the two of them…so she slowed down past the hard right before the start finish line…but an unexpected car came in. “A BMW M4? D-Did that car take the exit and come back on?” She remembered an M4 earlier…but did she take that long today? Whatever a 3 man race would be nice…let the race begin… The Viper was the first over the line to start the race, followed by the F-Type and finally the M4. The hard right was different for each of them, the Viper had an unusual grip style for a car so tail happy, the F-Type soon followed with a bit of a slide as it entered before straightening out at the exit, finally the M4 seemed to have done a pseudo drift as its tires squealed under the pressure. Needless to say the straight widened the gaps, the Viper’s horses were unleashed while the F-Type was only slightly slower. The M4 though used the draft of the F-Type, somehow her car wasn’t pulling enough power to match the two cars…another thing on her list to do on her M4. “Damn.” Ayumi cursed as she figured out she was going to be irrelevant to the race, but she knew how to change that around. As the two cars were tapping their brakes before the banked right she decided to keep the throttle pinned, at least her stiffer suspension should keep her tires stuck to the ground more…hopefully. “She’s crazy…” The Viper’s driver muttered as she saw the M4 approaching fast and not slowing down. “But I have a feeling that she’ll make it.” And she did, Ayumi managed to hold the car down on the banked right at a higher speed then the other two cars. The resulting G forces were a bit much for the model but she managed to keep it under control. “God that was rough, it felt like I was on the C1…” The model grunted to herself as she straightened the car out. The Viper and the F-Type were behind unfortunately and the M4 was in front. Ayumi felt a little pride in her plan. “Alrighty then, no more miss nice girl.” The Viper’s driver shook her head as she decided to go all out in the race. The angled left could be easily attacked with the Viper. “Now to just slam the accelerator and turn sharply.” “Huh?!” The M4 was in panic now, the Viper seemed to have teleported just behind her. “Ah geez, these highway racers are too serious…I’m just gonna pull back.” Hana sighed as she pulled off the throttle, she had them in her sights but how she raced and why she raced were a whole lot different than those two. “Grr!” Ayumi growled at the Viper coming up behind her, it was way too close for her. Even swerving through the traffic the Viper seemed to keep up with her! Dammit this is not good! I can’t lose now! “Tch, had enough?” The Viper then roared loud as the driver slammed the accelerator and overtook the German car, using the extent of the s turns where the Veteran’s Line is. She was curious about the racers…so she signaled out of the highway and they both managed to follow her. “So, you are the damn prick who beat me eh?” Ayumi bolted out of her car just as the Viper’s driver managed to exit her Viper. “Ah fuck! Damn woman calm down!” The driver grunted back just as she was grabbed by her shirt. “Enough…Ayumi.” Hana sighed as she shook her head. “Damn bitch thinks she’s on the top of the world and once her throne dies she goes berserk…” “Ya say something pink hair?” The model rudely asked. “No, not really.” She then released the driver from the model’s grasp. “Sorry but I didn’t catch your name.” “Ah, name’s Melody. But you do seem familiar, you’re that idol eh? Don’t worry I ain’t a fan.” Melody smiled at Hana. She had a short single dark pink ponytail that was a bit past her shoulders, her rather unique heterochromatic eyes of blue and green were a nice touch. “My name is Hana, as you have guessed. Hey is that hetero…whatever it is your eyes are?” Hana asked, this was her first time she saw something like this in person. It was cool. “Yeah, it is. Apparently my mother said that she and her brother were the recessive trait carriers, my grandmother, grandfather all have it! Strange hu-” “Aren’t you two forgetting someone here?” Ayumi butted in, she even shoved herself between the two of them. “Oh I’m sorry, we women are here holding a nice conversation…I didn’t expect there to be a CHILD.” Hana nearly shouted to the model, oh the fear on Ayumi’s face was a nice touch to boot. But she shook her head and got angry. “A child? HA! Bitch please! I am much more mature then both you and you don’t even know it!” Ayumi smirked as she flipped her hair back. “But a child gets angry easily for being ignored…wait hold on, I meant a SPOILED CHILD.” “Tch! Damn bitch! I hope that yo-” “Ah can you two just stop for today! I just came out here to race, not get into some drama bullshit outta nowhere!” Melody shouted over the two famous girls. “I apologize.” “Hmph.” “Geez…well anyway I guess we should part ways here hm?” The Viper’s driver shook her head as the two stared at each other for a bit longer. It seemed like there was lightning from the two. They both broke the stare down and went back to their respective cars. “So they both drive for a reason. Ayumi is pride and Hana is reason. So I am…”

Spring break update 1/? is here and assume 100 yen equates to $1. Chapter 12: Upgrades “Hello there Tomoyo.” “Hey there Neku.” The two teenagers were meeting up at a nearby park. He called her for a reason. “So…what’s the meet up for?” “This.” Neku then handed a slip of paper to her. She took it and read it over…this…this was quite a list. “You plan on modifying your RX-7 so quickly…and your sister’s plans are here as well. You know...” “Is something the matter?” Neku asked as he looked at the apprentice mechanic. Somehow his stare was making Tomoyo’s heart beat a little faster… “A-Ah no no! Nothing’s the matter but…this kind of work isn’t something I would do for free you know.” “No problem.” He then pulled out a small stack of 1000 yen bills. She looked at the money with wide eyes before slowly taking the stack. The mechanic then counted how much he would be giving. “T-This is a stack of thirty! Why are you giving me this much?” Neku adjusted his glasses before saying, “My father and your mother are friends, and he stated that without him paying for upgrading his car…well let’s just say we probably wouldn’t be here right now. So he wanted to make sure that I paid you something before doing a major modification job.” “I see.” Tomoyo nodded at what the boy said. Miyako did say something like that to her and how she also stated to be aggressive in grabbing a potential partner for the futu- “Something the matter Tomoyo? Your face is getting red.” The boy asked as she shook her head like mad. “Hahaha! Nothing, my mother said something similar to that and some other stuff as well!” The red haired girl lied as she stretched out. “Anyway, I’ll see if my mother can grab these parts and kits if we don’t have them. Expect to not drive for a week or so, worst case two weeks ok?” “Very well then, we’ll make sure that we’ll drive over to your place once you have the parts. Call either me or my sister when you get them.” The RX-7 driver then got a nod of acknowledgement from the mechanic before setting off back to his home. “Still…a Knight Sport kit? That isn’t a well known kit series, but the Nismo shouldn’t be that hard.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Hm? This is a peculiar set of parts sweetie. But let me check if we have them.” Miyako responded to her daughter’s request. “I’m sure we have some spare Nismo parts but the other is going to be a bit harder to get. By the way, Neku did give you something right?” “Of course mother, he stated that you and his father had a transaction in the past and without it well…he said that I probably wouldn’t exist right now.” Tomoyo stated as her mother looked at the computer for the parts. “Heh, well you WOULD still be my daughter and I would love you…but let’s just say you wouldn’t have a part time job at this tuner shop and this entire conversation would never happen. Without their father I would have never been able to continue to do what I love” The mother responded as she chuckled at the transaction so many years ago. “Ah well we definitely have the Nismo and somehow we also have the Knight Sport parts as well. What luck we have, anyway call them up and tell them we have the parts.” “Ok mother.” The apprentice mechanic nodded as she went up to her room and called Neku. “Hello, who is this?” A female voice greeted the mechanic, confusing her a bit. “Um, this is Tomoyo a friend of Neku and I was wond-” She then got interrupted mid sentence. “Oh heya Tomoyo, this is Lillian! My brother is doing his homework at a friend’s house and he left his cell phone at home, forgetful ain’t he? Anyway what’s up?” “Well you do remember the part list that you ga-” “Yup, yup! I remember that, hey did ya know I put in twenty of the bills in? My brother owes me 10000 yen dammit!” Lillian responded playfully. “Er…yeah well good news is that we have the parts and kits you’re wanting here, so if you two could kindly bring your cars over tomorrow I can start working on them.” “Okay~ we’ll have them over after school! See ya!” “Right…” Tomoyo sighed as she ended the call. Lillian sure was weird and she was somewhat worried of what would happen if it was Lillian who was at the park instead of Neku. “So you expect two cars to come in tomorrow?” Her mother’s voice said as she entered her daughter’s room. “Yeah after school of course, it’s a bit late for them to bring them over isn’t it?” “Of course, I’m pretty sure their father would hawk over me until they got home if they brought it over now. Anyway sweetie, good night.” Miyako then kissed Tomoyo’s forehead and exited her room. “Good night mom. I wonder if Lillian said was true, if Neku really did lose his cell phone at his house…how is he reacting?” ________________________________________________________________________________ “WHERE THE FUCK IS MY PHONE?!” Neku screamed as he noticed that his left pocket felt empty. “Can you not scream so loudly out of nowhere? My ears are ringing…” Seiichi commented as he ‘cleaned’ his ears. “Ack sorry but it is missing and there was this game that had an event going on right now and I cannot afford to mess up now! I’ll lose my ranking like this!” Neku grunted as he started looking around the room. “Seriously? And we’re doing our English homework, what YOU stated was your hardest subject.” “Shut it! I can enjoy my life now right? I ain’t in college yet nor do I have to worry about exams yet!” “Calm down, let me call your phone. For all I know it’s probably at your house and your sister is going through your browser history.” “Really? You went there?” The bespectacled person stopped looking as he said that. “So you are implying that you have looked up something naughty on your phone?” “N-No…” Neku grunted at both his weak answer and his stutter. “Oh? I know you well enough to know that answer means the exact opposite of what happened. What type of stuff have you been looking up? And have you ma-” Seiichi started before Neku cupped his mouth shut. “SHUT IT! No one needs to know this. And for your information…no…I’m not going to say it.” He then sighed as Seiichi grinned and dialed the dark purple boy’s phone. “Hello.” A cheery female voice responded from the other side. “See Neku, your phone is safe. In your sister’s hand though.” “Well ok then, give me the phone for a sec.” Seiichi complied with the command. “Sis? Did you receive a call from Tomoyo yet?” “Yeah I did, she said that the parts were in her garage or something and that we can bring our cars in tomorrow after school.” Lillian responded with a near unnoticeable lower amount of cheer. “I see, well that’s good. Oh…you didn’t look on anything on my phone right?” “I didn’t know that female doctors were yo-” The ice blue haired girl started. “YOU TELL NO ONE OK?!” “Then you owe me 30000 yen to keep my mouth shut.” “Tch, looks like I have to delay that plan I had with Shino then.” Neku muttered under his breath before clearly responding, “Fine fine. You win.” “Yes! Alrighty then! I expect it by the end of the school year, you can either give it to me whole or in increments, but you better keep a tab on it because I MIGHT forget that you paid me if you give it me in increments.” “Damn you sis!” Neku angrily ended the call before tossing the back to his lilac haired friend. “So…female doctors huh?” Seiichi asked with an amused smirk. “ARGH! SHUT UP!” The embarrassed boy grunted before stuffing his face into a nearby cushion. ________________________________________________________________________________ “So I looked at my brother’s phone browser history and I have some…interesting details that I won’t go into.” Lillian said to her friends at lunch. “Hah! So he left his phone at home and you looked into it? Nice, I AM curious Lil old pal.” Erika smirked as she placed her arm over the twin. “It would be a bit out of character for me to say this…but I am curious as well.” Jun smiled meekly. “Hah! So c’mon, we ain’t gonna tell people and besides how much was the ransom?” The childhood friend asked. “Well I am promised 30000 yen for this so I do plan to keep my mouth shut from OTHERS…but let’s just say professional doctors have a certain effect on him.” The twin spilled. “30000 yen? That’s a lot you know, how much money do your parent’s give you?” Jun asked as Erika was nearly about to burst in laughter. “My father and mother give us quite a bit for allowance, I say last year we got around 35000 yen in allowance overall, of course I may be off a bit. Dad likes to give us quite a bit, mother thinks it’s a problem but she quickly let it go after we made a debit account. But my mother still hovers over our accounts like a hawk, it’s kinda hard to do any spending without my mother’s consent.” “I see…Erika can you please go outside? It looks like you’re going to empty something.” The green haired girl asked as Erika complied and exited the room. She laughed extremely loud and obnoxiously, it made everyone in the classrooms and the hallways look at the indigo haired maniac. “Right, I guess she found that to bit to be too much for her.” “Well I had the same reaction when I found out. Anyway, you did grab one of those ‘driving your car’ to school slips right?” Lillian asked her friend. “Of course Lillian, I would love to drive my Elise to school. I am surprised that this school allows us to drive our personal cars here. Is your 370Z getting upgraded?” “After school and in a week’s time, my 370Z will look like a racer!”

Spring Break Update 2/? Chapter 13: The Reveal “Alrighty then Tomoyo, let’s see what you did to our cars!” Lillian exclaimed as she, her brother, and the red headed mechanic stood outside the garage doors. Tomoyo was truth to her word and it took a week to finish the tuning and body work. “I have to say I’m kinda eager as well.” Neku smiled as he tapped his foot impatiently. “Yeah, even though I didn’t see her upgrades I am interested to see what my daughter did. I didn’t help her at all.” Miyako exited out the main doors as she met up with the kids. “Depending on the job she did I may put her in more areas. Let’s see it.” “Ok…man I’m nervous.” Tomoyo exhaled as she opened the garage doors. What followed was a girl with her eyes beaming, a boy who gave nice whistle, and a woman who smile and nodded at the work. “I assume this is good right?” “Good? Hah! It’s BEAUTIFUL!” Lillian shouted as she ran to her silver 370Z with it’s new Nismo body kit. It was the 2015 variant with a small wing on it and a more aggressive looking front. The way it seemed to look was both majestic yet intimidating. “And the RX-7 definitely looks more like a track day car than anything else.” Neku grinned ear to ear as he looked over the Knight Sport RX-7. It was exactaly how he imagined it, it had the Type 6 front along with the Type 4 and the MTC logo on the back. It also carried a small GT style wing but it was lower than the car’s top. Needless to say Neku was amazed at the job. “Exterior: good. Now let’s look at the interior.” Miyako graded the outside as she opened the door of the RX-7, seeing how Lillian was inside of her 370Z looking around everywhere. The interior was good too; roll cage, bucket seats, changed the steering wheel, dials were changed, everything the veteran mechanic would do, her daughter did. “So how did I do mom?” Tomoyo asked. “I have another car waiting for an interior replacement, everyone is busy at the moment and I think I found the perfect person to do it.” Tomoyo’s mother smiled at her daughter whose face was beaming with joy and confidence. “Head to garage bay six and tell them I sent you there, anyone who says anything to you is going to get an earful from me.” “T-Thank you mother! I won’t disappoint you!” With her eyes almost filling with tears Tomoyo gave a big hug to the veteran mechanic before she wiped her eyes and gracefully went to the bay. “Wow, you know how to inspire confidence.” The RX-7 driver stated after watching that touching scene. “Heh, well I had to let the bird out of her cage sooner or later. She was getting tired of the oil changes and basic checkups. I plan on letting her carry on the legacy for me you know? Anyway let me see the engine.” Miyako then popped the hood open of the RX-7 and looked around the engine. “She did just as I asked and did a twin turbo conversion, nice.” “Looks like all that looking made her confident in her work. I should probably get her to do more around the bays now, maybe I should look at putting her in a bay.” Miyako continued her thoughts as she looked at the 370Z, same things were checked and she opened the engine hood. “Hm, so a supercharger? Did you want that Lillian?” “Yup! As much as the 370Z has the power in it, I wanted more! And no lagging either, I heard that superchargers don’t usually lag.” Lillian hummed as she settled into the Z. “Alright you two, head back home. I found nothing wrong and it looks like everything I would do, she did.” The two cars then exited the garage with a more robust sound. “My little angel is growing up…it kinda makes me sad.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Hey there Ne…did you two get upgrades?” Shizuko was in the garage for some reason as she noticed the 370Z and the RX-7 were no longer stock. “Yes mom, we did. We paid the mechanic like dad would have asked and you did say yourself that we can do with these cars as we wish.” Neku seemingly shot back. “Easy there dear, I wasn’t going to harp on it. In fact…I’m glad you did something to them. The normal sounds of the cars were a bit, well, weak in my opinion.” The ex-street racer said. “I see, sorry mom. But did you have a past in street racing? What you said is new to us.” “Hm…well I think it’s time for me and your father to reveal our pasts a bit more now that you two are at this stage.” “Shizuko?” Neon entered the garage and saw the two modified cars. “Sweetie, I think it’s time.” She gave Neon a more serious look, he knew what his wife was getting at. “Ah right…kids come to the dinner table, don’t worry it’s nothing bad.” The father said as the two twins looked at each other in confusion. They did comply with their request and sat themselves at the dinner table. “Mom, what’s happening?” Lillian asked as the two parents sat down. “You know how expensive these cars usually are right?” Neon started, the two kids looked at each other before nodding yes. “It is actually connected to our past while we were in high school, just like you.” “Neku, Lillian, we were street racers like you two are now. We raced on the same exact highway as you two did. Why do you think we didn’t care if you came back at one in the morning? Most parents would be furious.” Shizuko started, offering a serious look with a warming smile. “We both know what it felt like to be in your shoes.” “Yeah, we do even now.” Neon then handed the over a picture of him in high school posing in front of his old Nissan Skyline KPGC10. “This was me back in the day, just like you two…racing for a reason.” “I don’t have a picture but I was like your father, racing for a reason. Now we won’t ask you for a reason on why you two race, nor do we want to hear it. Whatever you do out there is your choice, just as long as you take responsibility for your actions. It’s been hard for us to come out like this and we know you have questions for us.” “Mom, Dad…did your parent’s give you your cars like we were given them?” Lillian asked, her tone more serious than her bubbly cheerful one. “For me yes, for your mother…I guess. My mother was an important person in Nismo and gave me various sports cars to drive in to test them out.” Neon replied. “My parents just gave me my car out of spite…their associates were giving their children cars so I got one. And soon I found myself racing.” Shizuko said with eyes closed. “Is there a connection between you and Miss Miyako? She seems to know you two well.” Neku asked with his tone serious like her sister’s. “Yes, you know the mechanic I kept talking about and how I paid her? She’s the one. She gives me top priority and clearance to anything in her shop thanks to that small act so many years ago.” The blue haired man said. “I did have some relations with her, although in the middle it wasn’t too…clean you can say.” The purple haired woman shook her head. “Mom, Dad…why are saying this to us now?” The two asked in unison. Neon and Shizuko looked at each other before smiling at the two. “It’s to make sure that you two don’t get stressed over anything related to your racing habits. We know that most parents would scold us but for us…it would be a disservice to you two. Just remember, whatever you do out there you must take responsibility.” Neon finished as the two kids gave a genuine smile. “Mom, Dad thanks.” “Thank you Mom and Dad.” Lillian and Neku both said as they did a small bow of respect. “And it also shows why you get not as much allowance, a lot of it went to the cars.” Shizuko mustered as she got up. “Anyway let me make dinner now, you two go upstairs and get changed.” “Oh wait, we almost forgot about this.” Neku then rummaged through his bag for a piece of paper, Neon took it and looked it over. “Hah! They still do this dear.” “What?” “They allow kids to bring their cars over on some sort of pseudo license thing. Of course we will allow you to do this.” “Hm? You sure dear? If I remember well ‘Nissan Boy’ you got that name from driving all those Nissian cars to school.” “I have a feeling that Neku is already popular and Lillian? I think it would be like how Kayo brought her S15 and how she managed to shut them up via skill and knowledge.” Neon and Shizuko both laughed at that memory. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Alright, now to wait for Neku.” Satoru stated as he and Seiichi parked in the nearby lot that held the cars. There were quite a few people here that drove cars, but nothing elaborate or expensive as their cars…as well as the cars of Lillian’s friends. “He did state that the RX-7 had a peculiar upgrade to it…what do you think it means?” Seiichi questioned. “Who knows, besides it couldn’t be too elab-” The blonde started before two loud noises silenced a good majority of the lot. “Oh…well now. The twins are going to be the talk of the school for a while.” The RX-7 and the 370Z entered the lot…and almost everyone looked at the two cars. They looked like track cars more than just a pair of sports cars. The boys were gritting their teeth at the two while the girls were anticipating on who were in the two cars. Soon they split and met with their respective friends. The silver 370Z went to the right and parked near the Elise and S2000. And the RX-7 parked right in the middle of the Camaro and the NSX. “My, my Neku…you sure aren’t kidding on the upgrade.” The lilac haired friend said as Neku climbed out of the car. “Yeah, it sure is a head turner isn’t it?” The driver smiled as he sat on the hood of his RX-7. “This ain’t an Amemiya body kit, what is it?” The Camaro driver asked. “Knight Sport body kit. Unique ain’t it? Anyway I asked for a twin turbo conversion and some other stuff.” “Still Neku, I think we are going to be left behind with this much tuning. We should head to cla-” “U-Um…Neku-san. C-C-Can I have a r-r-ride in your car after school?” A random girl approached the driver and questioned him. “No.” He instantly replied, before covering her face and running away. “Heartbreaker dude.” Satoru stated as the Trio locked their cars and exited the lot. “I am loyal to one girl…and there she is.” Neku smiled at the beautiful dark blue haired girl. He waved at her and she gave a weak wave back, not wanting people to connect her as a special girl to Neku. “So, are you going to drive on the highway after school? It’s the best time to do so with your new car.” “Of course…and I think I’ll take Shino for a ride.” “Easy there Neku, she might be a target for other girls.” Seiichi reminded the boy, but he smirked back. “And what if she wants to get in on her own will?” “Then I guess I don’t have a say in this…wait did you already…?” Seiichi started before Neku grinned a bit before going ahead of them. “Hot damn Neku, making the moves on Shino and she responds? I think this could be a start of a beautiful relationship.”

"I think this could be a start of a beautiful relationship.” Wouldn't we all agree on that? *snicks snicks* Really...I find the Knight Sport Body Kit RX7 to be the sexiest thing since Re Amemiya's FD. Nice work dude. Keep it up!

Spring Break update 3/3, school starts tomorrow for me. At least I got my promise fulfilled. Chapter 14: A Step “What?” Erika questioned as Lillian decided to divulge a little bit about her brother’s life. Class hadn’t started yet and the three of them were talking to each other to pass the time. “He asked Shino out? Not like an outing but like a…?” “Well that’s what I got, he did state that they were gonna hit up a diner and eat. Then he asked if a movie was good too, don’t know what movie but a movie nevertheless.” Lillian responded. “Neku is asking her out on a more traditional date, there is no doubt about it. But my question is why Shino is all of a sudden bolder now?” Jun mused as she sighed. “Not that long ago she was shy but now…she seems a bit more confident in herself.” It was true, Shino was no longer a shy girl but a…normal girl. She smiled a bit more, didn’t have a depressed look on her face, and just seemed to be a bit more brighter than how she was at the start of school. “Can’t disagree there Junny, she seems more lively.” Erika sighed as class started. “Now it’s time for home econ…great.” Lillian mumbled as she and the class headed towards the room. “It’s good to go to that class Lillian, you need to know how to cook you know.” The green haired friend placed a hand on Lillian’s shoulder. “Yup, don’t you cook for your family?” The indigo haired girl asked. “No I do-well ok I do but it’s usually with my brother and he’s kinda skillful.” The twin responded as they settled into the room. “Really…well someone’s gonna find out soon.” Erika stated as the teacher entered the room. It was a while before the teacher said something interesting. “Everyone, you can only be in groups of two and two only.” The teacher explained, unfortunately all the students started to talk amongst themselves. “Hey, I’m still speaking here! Anyway what you wil…” “Woah two only? So…” Lillian started before she noticed Erika had an arm around Jun. “Sorry Lil, but you should make a new friend.” The indigo haired girl smiled before Jun sighed. “A-Alright…” Defeated Lillian looked around for a potential partner…Stella seemed alone. ________________________________________________________________________________ “Tch!” Neku clicked his tongue after the teacher finished the beginning speech. “You lost the rock, paper, scissors match Neku. Good luck.” Seiichi mustered as he and Satoru slowly inched away from Neku. The poor boy knew that within a few seconds that some girl was going to try and drag him to work with her. He needed an escape plan…and an escape plan he found. The boy quickly darted through the approaching mob and found himself sitting next to Shino. “Hey there Shino, mind if I work with you?” He quickly asked as Shino just processed that he was sitting next to her. “U-Um sure!” Shino squeaked out as she jumped a bit. She knew that this would come sooner or later, they talked about the next step…becoming an official item. Apparently a small injection of her pride was all that she needed to feel a bit braver. But just as she was settling down she felt the jealous glares of her classmates. “Calm down Shino…I’m here.” Neku smiled as he placed a hand on her shoulder. This made her calm down a little bit but the stares grew even more intense…it felt like a thousand needles poking her right now. “R-Right, anyway shall we start?” The girl asked, they were doing a simple task of making chocolates…a clichéd thing but whatever. Neku started the heat and Shino placed the various ingredients in a neat manner before she emptied some of the coco powder in the bowl as well as some other ingredients. “Now that’s the first step…we just have to make milk chocolate right? So let’s see…” “Yes, so maybe we should add some sugar and milk…” And soon the two worked to make the chocolate less bitter. “Wow Neku, efficient in the kitchen I see. Plus you got all the girls, except your sister and her friends, staring at you.” Satoru commented as he looked around the room. Many of the girls simply eyed Neku’s work, dreaming about him making them some meal no doubt. “Shino’s gonna be one lucky girl ain’t she?” Seiichi mused as he looked at the two, they both looked at each other before giving a small smile to each other. “Can’t disagree there…but I’m sure we have some looking at us.” “But not to his degree.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Alrighty then Stella now we should let these cool for a bit yes?” Lillian asked as the blonde haired girl nodded yes. “I know that we just met and all but…would you like to eat lunch with me and my friends?” “Sure.” Stella spoke, her voice was innocent and quiet…just like her. “I…I know I may seem like an insufferable goofball who has her head in the clouds but I hope we can be good acquaintances at least.” “Don’t beat yourself up too much. You seem nice.” “Aw shucks, thanks Stella. Maybe you should speak up more, you seem like a genuinely good person and an efficient person too.” “Thank you, you did remember to spread the chocolate out all over the pan right?” “Guah! I forgot! But the chocolate seems warm!” Lillian quickly picked up the bowl and tilted it to let the contents of it flow onto the pan. “It’s a bit slow, hope we didn’t mess this up.” Stella sighed as she looked at the panicking girl. “Same here! I like chocolate but I don’t want to have messed up chocolate. I like it fresh and…tasty?” “Maybe you need to learn more words too.” Stella giggled at the twin’s words. “You have a nice laugh you know, you’re still gonna eat with us right?” “I didn’t say no.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “And that should do it.” Neku smiled at the cooled chocolate. “Now to cut this up…any shapes in mind?” “A simple rectangle should be enough.” Shino picked up the knife and started to cut into the chocolate…well she started to at least. She wasn’t putting enough power into the cut. “Tch…!” “Here.” Neku then stood behind her and held her hands as he applied the pressure onto the chocolate. Not only was she blushing like a ripe tomato but she also felt the stares of the girls turn into straight up bombs, missiles, machine gun rounds, and pretty much anything that can cause fatal harm to her emotional wellbeing. “N-Neku…c-could I p-please h-have s-s-s-s-some personal s-s-s-sp-space?” She mustered as much her trembling mouth could spit out. “Well do you know how much power you need to put into the chocolate?” Neku asked, the girl responded with a flurry of nods. “Alright then.” “Wow, does Neku like her? He never does that to anyone.” “Why her? She doesn’t deserve him, she is so quiet. Me on the other hand…” “Ugh, I would so love to have him to that to me! Why is she important? “Woah! Did my brother actually do that? Oh man it’s official now.” “Lillian, maybe you can quiet down?” Those were a few of the many whispers, or in Lillian’s case a regular speaking voice, that she heard. It was beginning to burden her…she sighed and continued chopping the chocolate until it was complete. “There…now say ‘ah’.” Neku smiled as he picked up one of the pieces. “Ah?” Shino was confused but she complied and he placed the piece onto her tongue. She slowly closed her mouth with a bit of Neku’s finger with it. He slowly pulled his finger out as she started to eat the chocolate. “That was good.” “I see, well this ends our adventure for now. See you after school.” The dark purple haired boy said as he waved at the girl. “Keep the rest, that’s my gift to you.” “Smooth as hell man!” Satoru slapped Neku’s back. “Well I did have two good examples to go off of.” “But I think you showed us up Neku.” Seiichi smirked as he placed a hand on his friend’s shoulder. “It should be a no brainer on who you have the hots for. But may I ask why now?” “Within a week’s time you should see the two of us hand in hand.”

Alright, update on the laptop issue...the motherboard's is a lemon. Looks like I won't be able to use it for a while...I can still use my old laptop but any progress is null and void due to that. I will try to have a chapter up soon regardless.

ARGH SORRY FOR SUCH A LONG DELAY FOR A CHAPTER. Chapter 15: Headaches “You guys are the most insufferable assholes I have ever seen.” Melody sighed as she found herself eating with Ayumi and Hana. It was lunch time and the three of them were on the roof. “Hm? Be thankful that you have the privilege of ea-” Ayumi started before a large exasperated sigh came from Hana. “Geez, I only came up here only to make sure nothing bad happened to you.” Hana slowly exhaled. “I do not wish to intrude your lunch in any way at all, but once I saw the ‘insufferable asshole’ model here yank you away from your friends I followed.” “Ah, I see…but you couldn’t help me?” “Unfortunately I do not wish to harm the…model.” Hana started before muttering under her breath, “Its cause all the eyes would cringe under the bloodbath I would have artistically decorated the walls with.” “Um…excuse me?! Am I being ignored here?!” The model shouted as she stood up. “If you aren’t dumb YOU, Melody, should be honored in eating lun-” “Oh give it a fucking break asshole.” The idol now feeling really, REALLY pissed off; her tone wasn’t calm anymore, it was sadistic and dripping with venom. “First your ‘gracing’ was nothing more than a freaking chain on her neck via YOU, then you drag her like a fucking slave and you THINK, THINK that you are ‘gracing’ her? Oh yeah sure, REAL FUCKING SURE. It’s like a slave being able to eat at the table of their masters and fed the damn scraps. But I think that’s all I’ll say, when you stood up your lunch fell down.” “Ah fuck.” The scared idol whispered in a submissive tone. “Oh…well I can spare a bit at least.” The civilian offered. “Geez, well I’ll let this slide. Everyone has to eat…even the submissive ones.” Hana sighed as she grabbed her bread and took an aggressive bite out of it. The lunch went smoothly after that…well as smooth as one would expect after someone screamed at someone else. “Hey Hana mind if I say something?” Melody asked. “Sure.” “Well, I don’t mean to intrude in your life, but do you hate the fans?” She hit the nail on the head as the idol’s eyes opened wide and her mouth opened slightly. “W-What? H-How did you know?!” The pink haired girl replied. “I can tell by your tone and the way you used your analogy. You see, when you talked about a ‘slave’ I thought about you as a slave to the ‘masters’, them being the fans and the revenue and other stuff they generate.” “Heh, you hit the nail on the head, the bull’s-eye, whatever else you can put in there. You ever think of becoming a psychologist? You seem to think like one.” “In fact I am.” The heterochromatic girl looked to the sky. “I find the minds of humans very interesting and I want to learn about it specifically…you know I want to narrow the field and all.” “Really? Maybe if you get high enough I can employ you as my personal psychologist, I promise to give you a great pay.” Hana smiled to the girl. “I’ll keep it in mind, but the idol industry is not a focus for me at the moment. But if you are willing to go that far, I’ll take a few classes in therapeutic then.” “H-Hey I-I’ll do the same f-for you too!” The shocked idol replied slowly. “Ah, sure I guess.” “Well I’m not a psychologist but I think that she is a bit more repulsed by the idea of treating a lost cause such as YOU!” Hana grunted as she was about to stand up and give her a second earful. “AH SHUT UP HANA!” Melody screamed at the idol, who immediately stiffened and silently tilted her head down. “You’re givin’ me a fucking headache!” “Hah! Take that you incon-” Again Ayumi was interrupted. “YOU TOO ASSHOLE! I’M STILL PISSED AT YOU!” That made her did the exact same thing as the idol. “Fuckin’ hell…you have a damn superiority complex. Hana is just pissed, you’re more of a lost cause. Look after school at 4PM I’m gonna drive around the highway, come race me if ya two wanna.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “So ready to head off Shino?” Neku asked the girl after school. “S-Sure, so, are we heading to the diner?” Shino responded as she got up. A couple of eyes fell upon her, she felt a little uncomfortable but she needed to steel herself. “Alright then, let’s head to my car.” Then the two of them walked out of the classroom. “So I guess you have something to do with Miss Shino?” Seiichi asked as the two of them exited the classroom. “Sorry about it man.” “Eh don’t worry, I’m just glad you found someone man.” Satoru said as he slung his arm around his lilac haired friend. “It’s just gonna be me and him today.” “So many gay undertones in that…well I need to go home and catch up on homework.” Seiichi threw off the arm and walked away. “Dude…really? Ah…guess I’ll head home or something. Catch you all around.” The blonde sighed as he walked away as well. “Shall we?” The dark purple haired boy gestured as Shino nodded. For Neku it was a nice feeling of having someone of the opposite gender next to him, but for Shino it was both a divine gift and demonic punishment. The young soon to be couple was walking side by side. As soon as they got to the front doors every girl was staring at them. “Wait, is that Neku-sama with another girl?” “Huh, who is that girl?” “Hold up, are they an item?” And those were some of the numerous and seemingly endless whispers that were directed at them. Shino felt extremely frail…but she had to be strong, she wanted to be that special other for him. Soon they found themselves at the parking lot where his car was surrounded by a number of girls. Neku managed to drive the girls away and opened the passenger door for Shino. “Let’s go Shino.” Neku smiled as he gestured her inside. The dark blue haired girl nodded and entered. She couldn’t help but feel the eyes on her… “Look…all I am going to say is this experience is nerve-racking…” The nervous girl sighed as Neku entered the car. “As we discussed in our call you need to be ready for this type of…exposure.” The bespectacled boy sighed as he started up the RX-7, the tuned noise making a few of the people outside cover their ears and some appreciating the noise. “I didn’t know that Neku liked the loud cars…” “I find it befitting for Neku-sama and his style.” “Geez, I think if I want to be with him I need to get used to this…” “C’mon let’s get outta here.” He grunted as the RX-7 rolled out of the parking space. It was not until the school was well out of their sights that the two of visibly relaxed. “God this is such a headache, anyway may I ask something about…you in a way?” Shino asked as the RX-7 approached a stop light. “Sure, ask away.” “Well, why did you choose me? If that makes any sense…” The girl trailed off, knowing how stupid such a question must be. “Why you? To be honest I was simply attracted to you, the first part of love is attraction yes? And I wanted to be closer to you…yeah.” The boy blushed at the last sentence, it was harder to say those words then he anticipated. “I see…but there are a lot of other girls much more beautiful than me, so…” “Again, I said I was physically attracted to you. So don’t worry…” “Ok.” Shino replied reluctantly, it was too overwhelming for her and she was getting pessimistic. It was nice but she felt too out of place…this was a big headache for her. “If this is too much for you Shino I do not mind if we just become frie-” “No no it’s ok! So, what are you going to get when we get there?” She quickly cut off the boy, as much as this was a headache for her she couldn’t just give him up…not yet.

Whew, done with school...now for a double update! Chapter 16: The Knight Born of the Ring (Anyone get the reference?) “Well, that after school treat took much longer than expected.” Neku sighed as he and Shino left the diner they’d gone to after school. “I didn’t expect a simple desert to take almost an hour…” “If it means anything they were at their max capacity and I think I heard that they were understaffed for the shift.” Shino responded as they climbed into Neku’s RX-7. “But at least we still have some time to mess around on the ring and catch that movie in the city right?” “Yeah, but still I didn’t want to be out so late with our school clothes on.” “I don’t mind if you drop me off and you can go home, change, and pick me up.” “Too much gas would be wasted, my father and mother are somewhat lenient with paying for gas but they aren’t that lenient…if that made sense.” Neku scratched his head a bit which made Shino smile. “Ok then, onto the highway.” The RX-7 then entered the highway, it was about 4PM when Neku decided to press the accelerator and three other cars approached them. “Huh, three other cars.” The Ice 33 driver stated as she looked at the rearview mirror. “Two European cars and an American car. This might be a hard race Neku.” “Hard? A challenge is nice one in a while sweetie.” The RX-7 driver said as he grinned and let the three cars past him. “S-Sweetie?!” Shino gasped at that word, but it fell on deaf ears as Neku was drafting the third place car, a BMW M4. “Another RX-7? But…it looks familiar.” Ayumi stated as she noticed the RX-7’s license plate. “Yup, it is that RX-7, I should be a bit more careful…” The race was now past the first right onto the long straight. The F-Type and Viper were neck and neck as the two powerhouses were racing with each other. Behind them were the M4 and the RX-7, which to Ayumi’s surprise was not like the last time they raced. “Impossible! What did he do to that RX-7?! It…it’s catching up?!” She screamed in disbelief as the distance between the two was shrinking. “No!” “Looks like the M4 is having some issues.” Hana said looking at the rearview mirror as the M4 was looking like it was having issues. “Dammit! Speed up!” The idol cursed. “Wait, I think I know why now.” The idol looked as a red car made an almost ghastly overtake of the M4, managing to drive from behind it, going to the right, and coming out in front. “Looks like my Jaguar might have a challenger for once. Bring it!” At this point the RX-7 was good distance away from the F-Type, the group of cars were approaching the banked right. Both cars took the racing line and decided to not drift, but the odd thing was the F-Type was slipping off to the left of the line a bit. Hm, did I change the tires? I think they’re failing a bit. The pink haired driver said as she decided to shake the wheel a bit after exiting the turn, the response was the car was unstable for a small but noticeable moment. “Tch, I was wondering when I should have changed them.” Approaching the angled left the RX-7 went right quite suddenly and quickly turned left, catching up with the F-Type, who just finished the turn. However to the idol she saw the same ghastly image again…and now in her rearview she saw how much the RX-7 caught up. “I-Impossible! H-How can it do that?! I have never seen cars on the Wangan do something so…impossible as that?! How…HOW?!” Hana screamed as she intensely gripped the wheel of her F-Type, her usual calm driving style reduced to a scared and frantic style. “Looks like the F-Type is…scared?” Shino commented on how the Jaguar seemed to have lost its speed and overall aura. Neku shrugged as he effortlessly passed it. Is he the one who will overthrow my status as the Ice 33, the one who will be better than me? “Hm? A red RX-7 with a Knight Sport body kit…let’s have a small dance shall we?” Melody stated as the car approached the Viper. They were now battling through the traffic of the straight before the two s turns. “Should be no surprise then that it should take the Veteran’s line with ease.” Lo and behold the two cars managed to pass the Veteran’s line with ease and the Viper pulled away a little bit away thanks to the more inherent horsepower. The hard right proved no match for either car. They were approaching the start line again. “Alright RX-7 let’s see what you are made of.” The Viper’s driver said as she grinned. This was a completely new driver, to her at least, and she managed to take down her two acquaintances in a short order. Unleashing the American horses, the Viper accelerated quickly, leaving the RX-7 behind. However that quick acceleration backfired on her quickly. “Wah! The right turn!” “Did that driver really forget about the right?” Neku asked as he saw the Viper’s brake lights quickly light up and saw the Viper almost spin out in a pseudo drift. “Unbelievable…since the driver took the Veteran’s line…” “Maybe they got caught up with the moment? I tend to do that sometimes and it doesn’t end too well for me at times.” Shino responded with a faint smile. He will overtake me…so why do I feel happiness and sadness? “Uh oh…” Melody stated when she noticed a strange sound coming from the engine. “Is something broken? Did something leak? Shit I gotta end this fast!” The Viper then rigorously accelerated onto the straight where it started to pull away from the RX-7 again, then the engine sounded as if it was going to explode. “Fuck this! I gotta pull over! I gotta call mom and pray that she doesn’t skin me alive for this!” Melody then flashed her warning lights and pulled over. “But at the same time…” When Melody stopped the Viper she saw the RX-7 pass by her with a victorious sound. She couldn’t help but feel a bit glad that she was defeated by that driver. “A knight born of the ring…it seems fitting for the driver.” She said as her acquaintances parked behind her. “You alright there?” Hana sighed, recovering from her earlier freak out. “Sounded like my engine was going to explode or something. It definitely sounded bad, that definitely is not a good thing right?” “You have a serious problem then, hold on…let me talk to a contact of mine. They can help with the repair and stuff.” Ayumi pulled out her cell phone and started dialing up a number. “Really…you…have contacts like that?” The idol questioned in a rather curious matter. “Yeah? Look I know you hate my guts and think I’m a prideful bitch, but I’m a bitch with a caring heart alright?” The model said as the receiving end picked up. “Hey, an associate of mine is having problems with her car and…” “I…wasn’t expecting her to say that.” “Neither did I. Guess deep down she cares for a lot of people and in a possible situation…” The civilian started. “She can have a certain attitude to keep her fans happy.” Hana finished as she started to laugh sorrowfully. “God I’m a dick…” “Don’t kill yourself over it. We learned something new today.” Melody smiled as she placed a hand on the pink haired idol’s shoulder. “Alright thanks. My contact will be here in a few minutes, but that driver…” Ayumi started as she looked down the straight. “The Red Knight of the Ring…” The three said in unison. Chapter 17: Closeness and Attraction (Has a warm moment if you catch my drift) “We’re here.” Neku stated as he turned off the RX-7. They were at the city and there was some time before the movie started. “Mmm.” Shino nodded as she got out of the car first. She stretched a bit, as she’s taken a small nap on the way here…obviously after the race. “So it looks like we have some time before we need to head to the theater, want to look around?” “Actually…um, I want to go the arcade and play for a bit. It’s a bit rare that I play arcade games with anyone else.” “Is that so? Well then, let’s go.” He then lent his hand to Shino, who graciously accepted the offer and hugged his arm. For the journey to the arcade, it was rather peaceful and calm for the both of them. There was no one they knew, mainly schoolmates, to comment on their relationship and everyone else was busy doing their own thing. “So what do you want to play first?” Neku asked as he smiled at his soon to be girlfriend. “Well…” Shino smiled as she dragged Neku around to various games. There was no real theme to the games they played. They played against each other, teaming with each other, supporting one another, it was a time for them to truly just be teenagers and have fun. If it weren’t for the fact the two of them had a time limit, the movie, they probably would have lost track of time. “We should get going soon, the call time is closing in.” Neku stated as they finished their game of air hockey. “I do want to have a picture of this moment so if you don’t mind…” The girl then pointed to a closed photo booth. “Eh, why not. Previews are overrated anyway.” They both entered and put in the money to start the process. “So you want a close picture or…?” “Either the ‘Group Mode’ or ‘Couple Mode’ huh? W-Well…” She then pressed the latter mode and noticed the original size of the picture close in a bit. “T-The screen size decreased a bit huh?” “Closer it is then.” Neku felt a bit uneasy when they both got a bit closer. Ironic since they were pretty close the entire time before the picture. He couldn’t help but notice how good Shino smelled today, her hair surprisingly had a faint scent of cherry shampoo… “S-So when does the picture start?” The dark blue haired girl asked as her face started to blush. She suddenly felt nervous and shy again…but what she did not expect was Neku to suddenly hold her against the wall. “N-Neku wait…” He did know what he was doing but…it felt so right. The boy slowly moved his hand down her face as his knee unconsciously found its way in between Shino’s legs and up to her thigh. At this moment his face slowly got closer to hers before he started moving his knee around. This caused the girl to give out a small yelp before it turned into a soft and seductive moan. “N-Neku, please…hah, wait…” Shino tried to fight back but the increasing pressure from down there made her want him to keep going. Her arms started to hug Neku out of needing to hold something. Am…Am I going to lose my virginity here? To Neku? I…I don’t mind it but I…I was not mentally prepared for this. A-At least I should tell him to wait until we get home. I can invite him in and… “P-Please wait Neku…let’s finish this elsewhere.” She muttered as her moans slowly got louder, she indistinctively covered her mouth to muffle her sounds a bit. It was at that moment she felt something rough on her. Th-That’s Neku’s…I am going to lose it here… “Gah!” The boy pushed himself away and shook his head. He couldn’t believe that he did that! That was the one thing that he didn’t want to do with Shino. “N-Neku?” The girl asked in between small gasps as she began to come back to her senses. “Sorry! I-I don’t know what came over me!” He stated as he went outside of the booth and started to pace frantically. “I-If you hate me I can completely understand and I will try to compensate for the mess I made and-” “Neku!” Shino yelled, it was not too loud for people outside to hear but enough to make him stop pacing. “I-It’s ok. M-Maybe we should just head over yes? I…I think we have a picture already, if you understand.” “Y-Yeah.” Neku agreed as Shino quickly left the booth to recover. “Geez, the one thing my father said not to do I did…ugh.” “S-Shall we go?” Shino appeared next to him near the front of the arcade, where he was slowly breathing. “If we don’t go then we will be late.” “Yes, yes. Let’s…go.” He offered his hand again, but once she touched it he felt a bit off. Neku couldn’t believe what he did, he made a girl sexually moan! That was something he never wanted to do. It was not going to be a calm dream when he sleeps tonight. “Do you want anything Neku? We did discuss that I’ll pay for the snacks today.” The girl asked as they entered the theatre. “Maybe some candy might help.” The boy responded as he looked around, no one form school was here. “Excuse me but I need to use the restroom.” “Ah ok then, I’ll wait for you.” “Stupid!” Neku muttered to himself as he finished his business. “What made me do that? Sure I am physically attracted to her but for me to do that?! Argh!” He then splashed water onto his face to refocus. “Took you long enough.” Shino said as Neku approached her. She was feeling a bit impatient, the movie they were going to watch was the ending of an anime she was religiously watching. “C’mon let’s go!” “Ack!” The poor boy was being dragged by the collar of his shirt as they managed to find a place to sit down. So they watched the movie…but Neku, who didn’t watch the anime at all, was looking at something else. He couldn’t help but notice how womanly Shino was. Sure her bust was not that big, his mother being the largest…ever, but it was sizeable enough to make him notice. Her shape was nice enough to also take notice, it was good. But…before today he never thought like that about her. Perhaps that incident made him like this. “Ha…that is how an ending should be.” Shino hummed after the movie ended. It was on a romantic note and made her feel giddy inside. “Glad to know you enjoyed it.” Neku smiled as they made their way to the RX-7. “I feel kinda tired so I’m gonna head straight home after I drop you off ok?” “Ok.” She smiled as her eyes slowly closed. But her mind decided to recall the events in the booth. “Shino!” She shot back up to reality as she heard her name. “Man you must be tired to fall asleep like that…anyway here’s your house.” “R-Right.” The girl got out and said her goodbyes to Neku before entering into her complex. Once inside her apartment she got ready for bed wanting to fall asleep…but her body was not yet ready to sleep…it needed some relief.

Yay new laptop is fixed, so a chapter is here. Chapter 18: Catching Up and Values In the Kurubasa household there was an unexpected doorbell ring around nine in the morning. It was a Sunday and everyone was just relaxing, no one needed to go to work or had plans. “I’ll get it sweetie.” Neon stated as he headed to the door and opened it, revealing two blue haired women. “Heya there brother, it’s been a while.” A familiar person stated as she smiled at Neon. “Sis? It’s been a while.” He smiled and the two of them gave each other a hug. “And I see you brought your daughter…Ayumi right?” “Yes sir.” Ayumi stated with a smile and a small bow. “Ah geez sis, she’s a bit more prim and proper than I expected.” “Sorry about that…wait why am I apologizing? Dear you do not need to be so formal around family members!” Airis explained as Ayumi scratched her head a bit. “S-Sorry mom, instinct.” The daughter laughed as she shook her head. “Don’t fret it Ayumi. I ain’t the person to care about manners…when it counts.” Neon added as his sister gave him an evil glare. “Anyway come on in you two, I must admit I was surprised when you announced your break.” “Well everyone gets burnt out eventually. Anyway, thanks for letting us in.” Airis stated as she and her daughter entered into the house. “I have to admit brother…didn’t think you would buy our childhood house.” “Hahaha…well it was the only house open at the time and it fitted within the budget.” The man stated as they sat down in the living room. “Hi there Airis. I hope you don’t mind some green tea.” Shizuko greeted as she came in with four cups of green tea. “Nah, not at all. You look good there Shizuko.” Airis replied. “I don’t mean to sound rude or anything, but I have to admit the housewife look fits you.” “You think? Well I wanted it this way.” “Huah? Who’s here?” A lethargic, sleepy female voice came from upstairs. “Do we have visitors?” “Yeah Lillian, your aunt and cousin are here.” Neon replied as he saw Lillian come downstairs, her short ice blue hair was messy and her large white shirt added to the look, it exposed her left shoulder and a bit of her chest and it look like she wore nothing underneath it. “Lillian…what did I say about coming downstairs before cleaning yourself up?” Shizuko closed her eyes and gave a heavy sigh. “Sorry mom, I am feeling a biiittt thirsty. I’m ma go get some water then I’ll wash up.” She lethargically replied as she went down the stairs to the kitchen where she took a glass of water and chugged it down before letting out a relieved breath of air and a large yawn. The sleepy girl then went up the stairs. “Er…I know I haven’t asked about your family but is she really that big of an airhead?” Airis said after an awkward moment of silence. “Y-Yeah, she is a bit of an aloof character.” The parents responded, both of them sighing afterwards. “Ooooowwww…brother you didn’t need to step on my fooott.” The same sleepy voice responded, surprisingly with no change in tone. “Sorry sis, I am in a bit of a rush.” A male voice stated as he came down the stairs with a bit of hurry. “Oh we have visitors? Sorry I won’t be able to stay long.” “It’s ok.” Airis smiled, “You must be in a rush to step on your own sister’s foot in the process.” “Ack! I d-didn’t mean to! Anyway, it’s good to see aunt Airis.” Neku bowed as he rushed to the garage. “May I ask where you are going?” Neon asked as his son put on his shoes. “My friends asked me to come and help them with their studying, they did not sound calm, and they wanted me to come now. I should be back by 2PM latest, anyway I’m heading out!” Neku responded quite rapidly as he headed to his RX-7. “Uh…I must have come at an awkward time.” The adult model stated as she sweat dropped. “I have to admit…this is a weird morning.” The wife stated as she sipped her tea. “Anyway, sis how has life been?” Neon returned the conversation to the original topic. “Well it’s been good. So I have a…” And so Airis, Neon, and Shizuko caught up with each other after their children entered into their lives. Lillian also came downstairs after some time and deeply apologized for her rude and unladylike greeting earlier. Airis and Ayumi waved it off, as both of them apparently had many similar entrances. “Anyway Ayumi, this is my room.” Lillian then led Ayumi around the house for the heck of it, feeling bad that she wasn’t doing much for her guests. “I see…er…well I want to apologize.” The young model stated as she sat down on Lillian’s floor. “For what?” The airheaded girl was a bit confused. “My greeting towards you at school earlier within this year. I…wasn’t expecting to see you so quickly.” “Aw that? Don’t fret it! I really wasn’t expecting you either! I was kinda surprised when mom gave us three lunches instead of two, she said that we’ll know who to give this to.” Lillian said as she sat down next to her cousin. “So…modeling, how is it? Is it rough? Stressful? A pain the butt?” “We-well it is a bit tiring but it does give a nice pay and I do have more free time than a regular school person.” Ayumi stated as she slowly created a bit of room between her and her cousin. “You also go to some kick ass places and take pictures right?” “Well sure I guess…Hawaii, England, Italy, to name a few. It seems that green screens just aren’t good enough.” “Wah! Awesome! You also eat some great food huh?” Lillian now seemed to have bright twinkles in her eyes. “S-Sure…um if you don’t mind can I ask something?” Ayumi nervously laughed as she didn’t feel too comfortable all of a sudden. “Eh? Sure I guess…” The ice blue haired girl lost her twinkle as she closed her eyes and gave a smile. “Is it wrong to fight with another person?” “Huh? Well…as long as it is for fun I do not see a reason.” “But let’s say you and a friend fight because of a misunderstanding, what would you do?” Instead of an answer, Lillian eyes opened slightly and looked to the ground. “Um…did I hit a nerve?” “A misunderstanding from what?” Lillian’s cheerful tone now was more sorrowful and a bit mad. “Uh…l-let’s say you and a friend had a fight about trust and the value of friendship so wh-” “Then that is bad. That is horrible. Friendship must be based on trust, if you cannot trust that friend and it ends in a fight then there was no friendship to begin with.” She responded with an awkward monotone. “A-Ah I see…” The young model sweat dropped, she has definitely hit a very rough topic for her cousin. “Uhh, you wanna hear some of the foods I ate?” “Sure!” Lillian’s earlier downcast turned bright as the twinkles came back in her eyes. This was gonna be a long day for Ayumi… ________________________________________________________________________________ Been a wile since I did this portion of the thingy. Neku: Reason for it? Didn't feel like it, laziness. Lillian: WWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *running around* Neon and Shizuko: *Sigh*

*Bows on all fours* I am so sorry for anyone who was following this and waiting for almost two whole months for a new chapter. This is the worst writer's block I've ever had...i'll try to update more but don't expect it... With that out of the way, enjoy! Chapter 19: The New Legend “Nice night eh?” Seiichi asked as the Trio was sitting on their cars as they were idling in the parking lot. “Uh…sure man. Why the awkward intro?” Satoru responded as he felt the question was a bit weird. “Well I was aiming that at to Neku, who seems to be a bit…off.” The lilac haired boy said as he stared at Neku. The dark purple haired boy was a bit off, his gaze was to the ground and the air around him was a bit…weird to put it in words. “Yeah, I sense that as well. Anything you would like to tell us man?” “Ah…um, well…no, but I guess you already know it’s not huh? Well ok…uh…geez I know talking helps but I can’t shake it off.” Neku murmured as he tried to answer them. “Deep breaths man. Calm yourself dude.” Satoru then placed a hand on Neku’s shoulder. “Alright…well it happened two days ago…” And thus Neku spilled the beans about his close encounter with Shino that day. Needless to say the two of them were very surprised. “It helps to create a bit of distance.” Seiichi replied to Neku’s encounter. “It could be that you just don’t know how to act around her in a closed space. Perhaps I should give you some tips later?” “P-Perhaps.” The boy responded sorrowfully. He felt extremely bad about the whole incident and felt distraught over his actions. “Although it may not be the same way with the two of ya, but try contacting each other and sort things out.” Satoru put in his two cents shortly after. “I-I guess, anyway let’s go on the ring.” Neku said that to get his mind off of the situation, but the lack of an audible response was unnerving for him. “About that…I have to head home now. I only came out cause I said a friend of mine was in a dire situation, told my folks I wouldn’t be out too late.” The blonde haired man sadly replied as he hopped off the hood of his Camaro. “Although not the same reason, I was asked to go pick up some things for my family and they will start calling me for an update. I’m sorry.” The lilac haired man replied in a similar tone. “This is a new experience for you and, even if we give tips, this is something new for you to decide and deliberate.” “No…it’s true. I have to face my errors very soon…” Neku sighed as he got off his RX-7. “I did call you two here to have a race, but given your reasons I shouldn’t hold you out here for too long.” “Yeah, sorry man…I think I see your sister here.” Satoru pointed to three incoming cars, with two of them following a silver 370Z. “Sis?” “I think we’ll take our leave here.” Seiichi said as the two guys left in their respective vehicles. “Heya there Neku.” Erika greeted Neku as the three of them parked near him and exited their cars. “Erika.” He replied back with a nod. “What brings you girls here? This isn’t the girl dominated lot you know.” “Yeah, yeah we know. Thought she might want to get some exposure to the large lots.” She then pointed to his sister Lillian, she was a bit more timid here than usual. “I have a feeling the smaller lots aren’t gonna hold her eventual fame in.” “You say it as if she’s going to have a dramatic change.” Jun chimed in as she looked at Erika. “Fame is one thing, but you assume she’s gonna flaunt it like a trophy.” “Ah shut it perfectionist, you became her friend two years ago…I’ve known her since we were in kindergarten! I know her well enough!” “D-Don’t fight you two…and yes Jun, I think I may flaunt my position if it does get that high. I need to get rid of that…” Lillian timidly responded with a faint laughter afterwards. “A-Anyway brother…wanna race?” “Sure thing sis. Sorry girls, I’m gonna take my sister on for a race.” Neku shrugged as he and his sister entered into their respective cars. “Well…that was quick, guess Lillian was too nervous eh?” Erika sighed. “I guess…wait is that…?” The green haired girl asked as she noticed a certain blonde. “Where? The black Evo X? Wait…” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Hehehe…” Lillian laughed. She and Neku didn’t actually race right afterwards, they went to a nearby convenience store and got something to drink. “Geez sis, I know you are a bit scared of large crowds but…really?” Neku replied as he finished his drink. “Anyway, I do plan on racing tonight and I do not want to a simple time attack run.” “Ah, sure I can race with ya. It seems like a waste to just go outside and not race.” Lillian said as she went into her car and started the engine. “Eager as always…” Neku followed suit afterwards and threw away his drink before swiftly entering the car and leading the 370Z to the highway. “Here we go.” The RX-7 accelerated when the passed the start finish line, the 370Z followed soon after. Upon exiting the right turn the two cars accelerated down the straight and passed the traffic there…with a shadow black Ferrari 458 Italia catching their eyes. “Hm…” The RX-7 driver stated as he saw the Italia fade away in the night as they approached the wide S turn. “Why have I seen the car before?” The 370Z driver also wondered before she shook her head and managed to initiate the drift into the banked right. “Woah! It’s the Red Knight!” A random racer stated as the two cars overtook them at the end of the banked turn. “And who’s that behind him? That Nismo Z is doing quite well!” The friend of the racer stated as the cars vanished on the angled left. “That racer is keeping up with him in a different way.” “I think that Nismo Z needs a name…I know how about the Silver Shadow?” “You with the names…but the driver did drift the corner and seemed to disappear in a way, but we need some other people here to witness the race…” “WOAH BOY!” A female driver stated as the RX-7 and 370Z were bolting down the highway, weaving in and out of traffic with the two cars barely missing the car on both sides. “Jeez and you wonder why I say that the highway is more dangerous than the mountain passes.” Her glasses wearing friend sighed as the two of them relaxed. “Hm, they are formidable though. I’d bet they are mountain racers who decided to have an off day today and race here.” “Maybe, but I have a feeling we are witnessing something now.” “Well that does it sis, I must admit that you kept up with me rather nicely today.” The driver stated as they both went back to the same convenience store. “Heh! Well I did train more after we fought earlier with the Ice 33…I wonder who it is?” The female driver questioned as she put a finger on her hand and tilted her head. “I know who it is, but you must promise me not to tell ANYONE ok?” Neku stated as he got close to her sister’s ear. “You know me brother, a secret between siblings is the most kept secret!” Lillian replied as Neku whispered who the Ice 33 was. “WWWHHHAAATTT?!” “Yeah I know. Anyway let’s head home, mom and dad are going to wonder where we are.” The two of them then went home…with a certain 458 and its driver looking at the two in the shadows. “Hm, I wonder if my services are needed…” “Mom, Dad we’re back!” Lillian greeted as the two of them entered into the house. “You two sure took a while.” Neon replied, “Anyway have you two decided on a club yet? I would like it if you two did something in your time at school.” “Hm…I don’t know what I want to do yet, but a little exposure may help.” The purple haired boy pondered as he looked up. “Eh, the ‘going home’ club isn’t something you want I guess?” The ice blue haired girl giggled as her father looked sternly at her. “At least do something dear…oh I know, maybe me and your mother will bar you from using your car until you find something to do.” The man grinned for the inevitable response. “Wha?! DAD!!!” Lillian screamed before puffing her cheeks in response. “I don’t like that, and why doesn’t that apply to Neku?” “Because sweetie, your brother at least interested in something.” Shizuko stated as she came down the stairs with a towel over her hair. “We’re not asking you to join a club but at lea-” “I want her to find something.” “-st look…I guess you don’t mind me telling you about YOUR club activities then mister go ho-” Neon the proceeded to pull down the towel over her hair and cover his wife’s face. “Dad?” Lillian asked, knowing what lever she can pull. “Ah geez, at least find something to do after school other than eating.” The husband gave up before placing the towel over her head again…only to have said towel cover his face. “Come with me…” Shizuko stated before she dragged her husband up the stairs. A lot of grunting and resistance was made as Neon was pulled up, leaving the kids in a dumbfound state. “Well, that was weird.” The two said. ________________________________________________________________________________ Again I apologize...trying to find a job over the summer took up a lot of time and me playing a lot of games did not help much. Seriously...almost every game gave me a fanfic idea...

Chapter 20: Clubs and Life “Hup!” Ayumi said as she released the string on her bow. The model was at the archery range at the school, she remembered that her mother did archery and wanted to at least try it. “Not bad Miss Ayumi.” A club member said as the model relaxed a bit, she managed to hit the ring around the bullseye. “Well my mother was part of this school’s archery club and I wanted to see how things run, but don’t expect me to join.” She was clear on just visiting, her tone shooting down any attempts of asking to join. “A-Ah I see…well if you ever want to join there’s a spot here!” The female captain stated as Ayumi smiled. “Maybe, I dunno…seems a waste to just go to school and not experience the…average things a person might do.” The idol muttered to herself as she shot another arrow at the target. “Wow! A bullseye!” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Hm…” Hana mused after hearing the choir singing their song. “It’s good but the tenor could use a bit of vocal traaining. Mind if I use the piano a bit sensei?” “Not at all.” The teacher then moved away from the piano and let the idol sit. “Now, tenor…sing to this note.” She pressed the middle D key and they tried to sing to that note, it didn’t go well. “Hm, alright altos…” The idol continued to do this for the rest of the sections with their respective ranges, but in the end they were all off key. “Oh dear.” The teacher sighed as everyone but the idol was a bit tense after that test. “This is easily fixable sensei, what I’m going to do is something I do for practicing my tone.” Hana stood up and stretched a bit. “Ok sensei, can you go through the C scale but press any note along the scale.” “Alright.” So the teacher did that and Hana within two seconds max managed to sing the notes in tune. The teacher also decided to speed things up and press notes faster. Somehow after the teacher was done, Hana decided to sing one of her own songs afterwards. “Ok, aside from the song, this exercise is important to me because it forces me to sing in tune as quickly as I can…but first you need to be in tune.” Hana sighed as she went up to one of the female members. “Now, try to match to my voice ok?” “O-Ok!” _______________________________________________________________________________ “I didn’t know you did kendo Shino. Was this something you did when you were younger or just on a whim?” Neku asked as he and Shino went to the kendo room. “Um, I think my mother wanted me to do this so she signed me up back in elementary school.” Shino replied. “Oh? I think that’s cool.” “Well anyway I was planning to leave anyway…to uh, be with…you…more.” The girl replied softly. “B-But if you want me to keep on doing this I’ll be ok!” “My father told me that I shouldn’t have a lot of control over what my girlfriend does so, in the end, it’s up to you and I don’t care either way.” He smiled at her before looking around for people. “Ehehe…thank you.” Unknown to him, Shino gave Neku a quick peck on the cheek before dashing off to the changing rooms. “Wow, I was not expecting that…I guess watching a bit wouldn’t hurt.” The boy muttered as he rubbed the place where she kissed him. “Hah!” Shino screamed as she swung her shinai down on her opponent. Neku was there watching, along with a few other people. “Point!” The referee said as Shino and her opponent stood back at their respective places. “Heya there man.” A familiar voice came to Neku’s ears. “So why are you here?” “Oh Seiichi, ah I’m just here to watch…her.” Neku then pointed to Shino. “Show a bit of support for her.” “Is she planning on going to the prefecture match or something?” The blonde haired friend asked. “No, she was thinking about leaving. But it’s a maybe, not a definite yes.” “I see. Before you ask why I’m here…well I’ve heard that there’s a nice girl in the kendo club who is quite a looker…” It was at this moment the match ended. “You with girls. Anyway it looks like Shino is done, so if you you’ll excuse me.” Neku then got up and approached Shino, making sure that not a lot of people noticed him. “Nice job.” “Well I am a bit rusty but I was lucky enough to win. But…um, I want to know if you are ok with me doing kendo.” Shino took off her head gear and looked down. “Again I don’t mind either way.” “It’s just, well, um, I don’t know if I should continue this or not. And I would like your opinion for the decision.” She looked at the boy with a small smile. “Personally? I find it cool and wouldn’t mind you continuing, but there’s a side of me that would like to have you stop kendo. But in the end I’ll support you either way. Oh right, I uh…wanted to apologize about that day.” Shino was confused for a minute before a certain sensation ran through her body, making her remember the moment inside the photo booth. “O-Oh, I forgot about it until you brought it up…” “I see, so…no hard feelings?” Neku sighed with a small blush on his face. “W-Well, I did feel a bit violated that day but it doesn’t change the way I fe-well what I should say is that I still love you deeply, but that made me reconsider a bit about us.” Shino did not want to say that…but she had to be true to herself. Although it did pain her to see Neku bite his lower lip and sigh deeply. “I-I see.” A pregnant silence rolled over the two. Both of them thought about this relationship that they were about to go into and they thought the same thing: I would like to get in this relationship but…am I really ready? “Dude, how much longer are you going to stand there for?” Satoru slapped Neku’s back rather hard and the bespectacled boy reacted and winced in pain, thus making Shino jump a bit. “Ow! The hell man?” Neku reactively yelled as he turned to the boy, only to find a kendo girl alongside him…she was just about Satoru’s height and had moderately long bleached yellow hair. Her cold looking blue eyes were also a bit of a surprise to him as well. “Er, I didn’t mean to be disrespectful around here. I can leave if you want me t-” The girl only closed her eyes and shook her head no. “It’s ok…Shino?” “Y-Yes?” The girl was surprised by the commanding style tone of the girl. “If you wish to leave, it is ok. I can make sure that the captain doesn’t hound you.” “What?” Both Neku and Shino were appalled by the response, then the girl about faced and walked away, with Satoru in tow. “That was the vice-captain and she overheard me…? Shit I need better awareness of my surroundings…” Shino surprisingly cursed. “Huh, well the vice-captain…” He started. “Her name is Yuka, she’s pretty good with the shinai but is highly anti-social…so is she using Satoru as a means to be more social…or does she like him?” “Um…I dunno but I think I should leave, see you.” The purple haired boy left on an awkward note. He felt bad for making the vice-captain come to them, most likely she was trying to get him to leave and saying that Shino could leave was an indirect way of saying leave. It was until he reached his RX-7 that his phone buzzed. Neku looked at the phone and he got a message from Satoru. “Hey man, I wanted to confirm on what Yuka said to you. She was not trying to be mean at all, in fact she was surprised that you left quickly afterwards. BTW she’s the one I was talking about.” Neku sighed at the text, well that was one mystery solved…he thought. “Sheesh Satoru, are you going to get along with Yuka?” He muttered to the air before heading home. ________________________________________________________________________________ “SSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!” The sound of Lillian slurping the heck out of her second bowl of ramen was resonating throughout the small restaurant, thankfully the only people there were the chef, two other people, and her friends. “Geez Lillian, can’t you slurp any quieter?” Erika sighed as she finished drinking her water. “I’m not sure Stella would like the noise…” “Ah c’mon, sure I slurp loud but the sole fact that neither you, Jun, or Stella have slapped me over the head means that you all tolerate me! Besides the chef likes it.” Lillian replied, with the chef giving a small smirk. She wasn’t wrong… “Yeah yeah I know but you could at least try to be quiet? I mean Stella is here…” Erika glanced at the blonde girl, who was placing a piece of chicken in her mouth. She didn’t seem bothered, but maybe inside… “I’m ok. I’ve heard louder stuff before.” The blonde haired girl responded, after eating her chicken of course. “E-Eh? R-Really? Cause I found her slurping to be louder than my S2000.” “Well I concede that Lillian’s slurping is one of the loudest things I have heard in my life.” Jun sighed as she continued to eat her beef bowl. “Yeah yeah yeah, I should be quieter…but I am happy that Stella joined this little band we have!” The ice blue haired girl replied as she gave Stella a wide smile. The girl replied with a small smile and a nod. After a bit more small talk the girls finished their food and to their surprise, Lillian wanted to pay for the entire meal. “Woah, Lillian…actually paying for other people’s MEALS?! Who the hell are you and what have you done to my Lillian?” Erika and Jun looked at the girl paying as if they saw a demon. “W-What? I-I thought since Stella was with us and all that I should welcome her by buying the meal and all that…” The girl was a bit scared by their looks, well except Stella who gave a soft smile to her. “Shall we go?” Stella asked as the four of them entered into her black Evo X. Exterior wise it had a Ralli Art body kit, with no changes to the wing. Perhaps it was due to the fact that she was carrying people around, but interior wise there was no roll cage and many of the parts were fairly stock. “I don’t mean to sound like a prick, but damn having a four door sports car is nice for a group outing.” The indigo haired girl said as she and Jun shared the back seat. Lillian was riding shotgun and of course Stella was driving. “None taken. Anyway…never mind.” The driver said as the car headed to another destination. “Hey Erika.” Jun whispered to Erika. “Hm?” “Should we ask about…?” She then pointed to Stella. The very fact that they saw the car they are sitting in the lot when they went to the large lot was kind of unnerving for them. Erika only waved her hand no, which Jun nodded. “Hey Stteeelllaaa?” The ice blue haired passenger started. “Hm?” Stella responded. “You drive on the highway?” “Uh, well I don’t at the moment.” She felt a bit uncomfortable for some reason. “Really? Cause the way your car sounds and turns seems like you do. Are you a track racer?” “Y-Yes in a way…” Stella’s mind raced, she was NOT ready to revel so much of herself to a new group of people. She needed a way to change the… “Enough Lillian, you’re scaring her.” Jun sighed as Stella visibly relaxed. “Hehehe…sorry.” Lillian stuck a bit out of her tongue in her apology. However Stella was not expecting to stare at her tongue for a bit…and it was pretty bad that she wanted to touch it… “Eyes up!” Erika stated as Stella looked at the road and managed to stop before she rear ended a car at a stoplight. “Geez Stella, are you always this air headed?” “N-No, I don’t usually carry people around. But regardless I apologize for that.” She sighed as her mind was focused on Lillian’s tongue. “A-Anyway I was wondering…are any of you interested in a part time job?” “Eh?”

Early updates...on whoever the heck is still reading this. Chapter 21: Their Relationship “So, I guess that this is makes us official huh?” Shino asked while sitting on the hood of Neku’s RX-7, they were at a small parking lot where they had agreed to meet for a quick race. “Well after a race of course. I think we are comfortable with each other enough to consider us an item.” Neku replied as he got a bit closer to Shino. “Or am I wrong?” Shino chuckled as she playful pushed Neku away from her. “No, no you’re right. I don’t feel as nervous as you and the rumors…well it comes with the package. Nothing I can do and you said you’ll protect me right?” “Heh, of course. And don’t forget, my friends will also assist you as well.” “I know, so when are we gonna race?” The Ice 33’s driver grinned as she moved very close to Neku, her body barely pressing on Neku. But he grinned and moved his face closer to Shino. “Very soon, also…I kinda like you being a bit seductive in a way. Just don’t do this at school alright?” The RX-7’s driver said. “Hah I know…honestly I have no idea what came over me.” She moved back and laughed a bit, a light blush with a smile on her face. “Alright, enough foreplay…let’s go.” Neku stated as he entered his RX-7. “Oh my, foreplay? Wait…I’m not ready for that!!” Shino shouted as she caught the words coming from her soon to be boyfriend’s mouth. Flushed, she climbed into her R33 and followed the Red Knight onto the ring. “Sorry for using foreplay, anyway 2 laps right?” Neku said through his phone, since Shino did not have a radio inside her car. “I hate you…but yes 2 laps, classic start finish line.” Shino grunted a bit after she put the phone down, her body was getting hot…and memories of that day in the photo booth started to fill her mind before she shook them off. And so the Red Knight and the Ice 33 took off at the line. The Knight was half a car length ahead as he was leading the race, the Knight’s rotary engine sang as the driver pressed the accelerator and was followed closely by the Ice 33’s own light but aggressive tone. The first right was no problem for the two of them as they took the same line. At the straight though the Ice 33 was slowly catching up the Knight and was about to overtake it if it weren’t for the long s turn that came up. “Shoot.” Shino muttered as she had to back off the accelerator to compensate for the ATTESA kicking in. The distance though wasn’t too drastic, what was once a close distance fell back to the same distance. After the s turn the banked right was next and the RX-7 was taking the inside line while the R33 was taking the outside line to catch up to the RX-7. This proved to work a bit since the distance closed between the two. “Hm…perhaps the engine of the R33 got stronger, it seems to run better.” Neku mumbled as he looked at the rearview window and saw the R33 headlights getting a bit brighter. At the angled left the two cars were taking the same line…and this troubled Neku quite a bit. “Damn, I forget sometimes that I am racing a street legend. She must perform better in one on one conditions…” For the rest of the lap the R33 was just trailing the RX-7, weaving through the traffic turn for turn, much to Neku’s discomfort. Shino wanted to see what the Red Knight of the Ring was capable of doing, he did have that name for a reason. “You know Neku, I’m a bit disappointed. I expected a bit more from you…but then again you only had the lead a few times over the few times I saw you race.” Upon starting the second lap the R33 used the slip stream to accelerate and overtake the RX-7, leaving Neku a bit confused. Shaking his head he tried to make up the distance between the two cars, but the R33 seemed to be inching away from the RX-7. At the long s turn the two cars were a good four car lengths away. “I gotta make a change now!” Neku grunted as he took the outside line for the banked turn, the R33 was using a traditional racing line. It only closed the distance by a car length, not what Neku wanted. Letting his pride get the better of him he recklessly pressed the accelerator and took a more dangerous approach to the angled turn, forcing his RX-7 into a drift to not lose much speed. “So pressure cracks you? I feel sorry in a way.” The Ice 33’s driver sighed as she wasn’t afraid of the aggressive change. There was light traffic on the second lap so they did not weave through the traffic as much and were able to increase their speed. Upon the Veteran’s line the RX-7 was behind by one and a half car lengths, but Neku was still determined to overtake the R33. The two cars again took the line and there was no change to the placement. “My win Neku.” “DAMMIT!” Neku screamed as he followed the Ice 33 back to the lot where they were a while ago. “WHY!?” “My win!” Shino smiled and exclaimed after they parked and exited their cars, well only Shino did. The Red Knight’s driver was still mad over this loss and didn’t get out. Concerned she knocked on the passenger side window of the RX-7. “What.” The boy madly grunted as he didn’t stare at the girl who knocked. “Is the door open?” “Yeah.” Shino then got in and placed a hand on Neku’s shoulder. This was the first time she had ever seen the boy deliberately mad and wanted to comfort him. “I know you feel mad about losing, but there was a reason why you lost…I could feel the anger from you. Street races are kind of race which needs control over yourself, like any other race. Too much emotion will hamper your driving…that’s what you did and the results show. But to be honest, your racing style was impressive and the Red Knight suits you…because I know you can protect me anywhere.” “Sheesh, what are you my mother.” Neku chuckled a bit before inhaling deeply. “I…I just wanted to win against you, so you be impressed with me.” “Let’s step outside.” The girl recommended as she got out first before the boy did. Shino hugged the boy as tears started to flow out of his eyes. “I-I just wanted to impress you…” The purple haired boy said with a few small breaths of air. “And you did. Your emotions, you don’t release them as much as you like huh? Racing is one outlet where emotions can determine between winning and losing. But I’m not here to be that person, cry as much as you want.” And his feelings of anger and broken pride was gushed out. “It’s ok…” Shino smiled as he patted the boy’s back. This continued for some time… “Thanks Shino. I was right about you.” The purple haired boy smiled at the dark blue haired girl. “Thank you. So…are you gonna ask now?” “Heh, of course.” The boy stood back and looked at Shino’s beautiful eyes. “Will you be my girlfriend?” “I would love to.” She replied as the two hugged one more time and ended with a soft but affirmative kiss.

Bleh...not idea why I held this chapter back...oh well. I may have a Halloween special thing like I did with the previous fic...maybe. Chapter 22: Timely Happenings and Death Threats And thus the drivers of the Ice 33 and the Red Knight were officially a couple. Time has passed since then, a lot of time. The time now is the very last day of their second year, now about to start their final year of high school. Over the course of the nearly two years of time many relationships and friendships were made. First Lillian, Stella, Jun, and Erika were one of the closest set of friends ever seen at school, they always seemed to be together wherever went they go. It has also been about a year and a half since they all started working at a nearby café as waitresses. This actually surprised the Kurubasa family quite a bit when she asked. “So…uh, mom and dad? I uh, have something to ask.” Lillian slowly started the conversation after eating dinner. “Hm? What is it Lillian?” Shizuko asked. “Well, uh, I, uh, got a friend, who, uh…” “Calm down sweetie, take a deep breath and say everything smoothly ok?” Neon replied as he chuckled a bit. After a quick breath, Lillian closed her eyes and asked her question. “Ok, so I have a friend who offered me a job at a café where she works part time and I am wondering if it’s ok for me to work there.” “What.” The parents flatly said, not expecting to hear that coming from Lillian. “Is this from your new friend, uh what was her name?” Neon sighed as he tried to remember the blonde haired girl’s name. “Stella, if I’m right. Did Stella offer you this position sweetie?” The mother asked, in which Lillian gave a firm nod. “Where is this café located?” “Dad, the café s just down the street from school. So you don’t need to worry about me going too far from home. I drive myself to school anyway.” The ice blue haired girl smiled as her father nodded slowly. “Well I think as long as your grades do not take a hit because of your part time job, I don’t see a problem with it.” The purple haired woman said. “I agree with your mother, as long as your grades are in the clear I don’t see a problem.” Neon smiled as Lillian did a small fist pump. “However Neku…” “I’m sorry dad, I said I was planning on joining a club but…well there weren’t too many things that I liked. Plus my school reputation made me a prime target…if you will.” Neku sighed as he gave his answer. “Well, I’m not sure about your father but as long as your grades up and at least think of something for your future I won’t harp you about joining a club.” Shizuko smiled before starting to clean up the dining table. “Now start your homework you two.” After giving Stella her answer, Jun and Erika’s parents were also on board of them having a part time job. So the four of them started to work at the café, with surprising success. Just within the first month the four of them were pretty much the talk for all the patrons of the café, both male and female. It mainly came down to how they acted and having a distinct personality. Mainly Lillian was the air headed waitress who was slightly clumsy but always seemed to keep a smile on her face. Stella was the silent waitress who was quick to answer any of the patrons and seemed to keep a straight poker face, leading to patrons having a staring contest with her. Jun was the beauty who knew how to be elegant…at times when she was being an actual waitress, thanks to her intelligence she was mainly stuck on cashier duty but she was ok with it. Finally Erika was the…normal person, if you will, she was the average waitress with just an average attitude. Among Neku’s group of friends, Yuka and Satoru became a couple, which didn’t surprise Neku. Of course there was some hate…but Yuka did have a way of shutting people up, a simple kendo match. Win, you get to have a date with Satoru; lose, and you have to keep away from him. Unsurprisingly many girl immediately backed down with a small handful of them accepting the challenge and ultimately losing. Unfortunately for Seiichi he did not find a person to be with. His previous experiences with girls made him a bit wary of who he wanted to end up with. Neku and Shino were a strong ongoing couple…of course with problems for the girl in the relationship. With the first week of them officially stating that they were a couple, Shino received…various mediums of angry fangirls. Hate messages, a small incident of bullying, stolen items, and other means of getting the hate across…although one major thing pushed the group into action. It was a rather cloudy day two months into their relationship and Shino arrived a bit early to school and she entered her classroom…only to find a pot with a flower in it on her desk. Shino’s eyes shot wide and, after a bit of confusion, rushed out of the classroom and into the restroom. She called up Neku in a panic. “Uh…hey Shino I just woke up so I ho-” The boy greeted sleepily. “Neku, there’s a flower on my desk.” Shino quickly replied through a futile attempt of hiding her fear. “What?!” Neku shouted, waking him instantly. “Dammit…” “I-I don’t know who it was from and I…I…I…” “Hold on dear, I’ll try to come to school as soon as I can.” Neku then called up his friends in order to see if they were willing to help out with the rising situation. With an immediate yes, Seiichi, Satoru, and even Yuka came to school early to solve the problem. “Someone wants you to literally die, this is bad.” Seiichi sighed, the group was oon the rooftop, with the death threatened girl clinging onto Neku out of sheer fear. Yuka was the one who retrieved her from the restroom. “Alright, first let’s get the obvious facts down first. This threat MUST have come from Neku’s side of things. None of ours would do this…” Satoru said. “Wait dear, some of the girls on your side are fans of Neku as well. From what I hear in the kendo club, it isn’t rare for a girl to like all three of you. I’ll do what I can to dig up some information from the kendo club, my members are surprisingly good at uncovering information.” Yuka stated, placing a hand on Shino’s shoulder. “That is true, I’ll keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals and try to grab some information. I’m sure some of my…ugh loyal girls…hate saying that, can uncover some information.” Seiichi sighed, closing his eyes to recall any suspicious behavior. “Same here. I can also see if any of the guys might know about this. I have some connections with a few boys as well.” Satoru said as he stretched. “I can ask my sister and her friends to keep an eye out and help you out sweetie.” Neku said as he closely hugged his girlfriend. “T-Thank you everyone…” Shino mumbled through a few gasps before her tears of fear started to come out. “I…I don’t want to die…” Immediately after texting Lillian about the incident and what she should do, she and her friends immediately took her back home. Stella opted to stay with Shino for the day, in case someone planned this to happen. At lunch time the group sprang into action, Neku’s eye were scanning the room and his friends went off in their own directions. This made his cousin, Ayumi, nervous so she went to talk to him. “Hey, cousin Neku…is something the matter?” Ayumi questioned. “Someone wants Shino to die and I want to find out who is responsible.” The boy stated harshly, his eyes still scanning the room. “What?” This was new to the model’s ears. “If you want I can help you…” “Please, I don’t want to be at her funeral this early in my life.” Neku sighed as he took off his glasses, just saying that put the disturbing image of his girlfriend’s funeral in his mind. “Ok, let me tell my acquaintances…” Ayumi growled as she hastily went to the rooftop. “About time you got here sucker.” Hana smirked as she quickly noticed the model’s angered expression. “Uh, I’ll take that back…something up?” Ayumi, Tomoyo, and Hana weren’t what you called friends…acquaintances was closer to what their relationship was. There was a lot of bickering between the model and the idol with the mechanic in training more often than not separating the two. They each benefited from each other, discounts in clothing stores, free car repairs, and discounted electronic devices thanks to them knowing each other well enough. But it was at moments like this where they set aside their hatred for each other and became quite inseparable. “WHAT?!” The idol shouted as the model retold what his cousin said. “A flower on Shino’s desk…the teacher must have removed it or maybe it was your other cousin’s friends that did it…” “Nevertheless, we need to find the people quickly. Any more time wasted can affect Shino’s mental stability. I know that she is practically the lightning rod for the fangirl’s hatred. I don’t have much info though, but I’ll keep an eye out.” The young mechanic stated, feeling the need to help one of her classmates. “I have a lot of contacts in school. I can also see if the choir can help out too, since I became a helper for them. This…I mean I get threats every once in a while but a school one? This is insane…” Hana stated as she started to pace. “Same here, but with the archery club. I did join a while ago and everyone seems to like me…” Ayumi finished as she looked at the other two and nodded. With the group of friends looking around the school, it took about three weeks for all of them to come up with a definite answer. Shino did return to school the next day and stayed at school during their whole search, Neku did command Shino to immediately head home for her own safety though. She had no quarrels about that command. Hana and Ayumi were very helpful with the case, people were more willing to help an idol and a model. The model relayed her and Hana’s information to Neku, where he started to note some similarities with his observations. Lillian’s group of friends also relayed information to him, where he was able to eliminate some of the similarities. Then his group of friends also gave Neku the last bit of evidence that gave him the answer. “So, you really think it’s that girl?” Yuka asked, it lead to a black haired girl in the room next door who was part of the student council. Neku, his group of friends, Lillian’s friends, and even Ayumi’s group were in the classroom after school finalizing the plan to expose the person who sent Shino the threat. “I think so, she has been giving Shino the evil eye more often than not and a good majority of threats come from her.” Neku stated as he did one last cross reference. “Jealously is dangerous, I hope that Shino doesn’t mind doing this…” Seiichi looked at Shino who was still shocked with fear. “It’s the only way we can expose her. I mean she’s been carrying a freaking knife to school recently, thanks to some of the people I contacted with. By the way, that contact almost DIED since the discovery.” Satoru sighed. “But Shino…I fear for her.” “I’ll make sure to quickly intervene.” Stella stated. “I can run very fast.” “I’m still surprised here, a member of the student council of all people? I had to confirm five times to make sure.” The pink haired idol exhaled as she shook her head. “I don’t know if I can get a teacher to believe this though, but I’ll try to grab one.” Tomoyo said. “But regardless the data and observations are enough for me to believe this.” “Thankfully I was able to confront the supporters of the threat and managed to make them shut up.” Erika closed her eyes as she spoke. “Although I did get hurt a few times.” “Now we need to get this plan in motion.” Neku finished as everyone nodded. The plan was a complicated yet simple one. Shino already put a threat inside the shoe locker of the girl, stating to go to the rooftop after school in order to confront her. Stella and Yuka were on intervention duty, just in case the girl was armed with a weapon. She didn’t say so earlier but Stella was taking judo classes for self-defense and was very good at it. Tomoyo would have a teacher nearby in order to catch the act and hopefully call the police to arrest her. Seiichi would be nearby in order to record the incident. If the plan was exposed and Shino was attacked, someone up there would say ‘blade’ and everyone else would come in from the hallway after the girl was on the rooftop. This was devised by Hana and fine-tuned by Neku…but he didn’t like it too much. “I hate using something I was acting in in real life but…” Hana looked down and exhaled. “It’s the only way I can think of with most of us nearby…” “It’s time.” Shino shakily stood up and went to her place on the roof. “Hey, so I managed to grab a teacher. It’s the new one, you know the young one? She’s coming with me now.” Tomoyo called Stella, who acknowledged the action. “Shh…” Yuka silenced Stella as she heard the door being forcibly kicked out. And out of their hiding spot they saw the black haired girl in question, she had a short ponytail and red eyes. Stella also closed her fist as she saw a small glint of steel on her. “So, what makes YOU deserving of Neku huh?!” The girl pushed Shino…who remained silent. “Oh, playing the silent type eh?” She then punched Shino in the stomach, forcing her to bend over in pain. She wasn’t saying anything though. “Alright then…let’s make you suffer.” The girl then pulled out a knife from her skirt and readied herself to stab Shino. “HAH!” Stella yelled as she and Yuka both came out of their hiding place and managed to quickly divert the would be killer’s attention. Within a second her eyes widen as she figured out that this was a trap. “Tch!” The girl readied to stab Shino but just as the black haired girl was about to be in range, the girl was hit by a shinai that Yuka was carrying and managed to disarm the girl. “So you think that murder is ok?” The teacher was at the door, who was told by Tomoyo to wait until the attacker was disarmed. “This is unacceptable from a student council member!” “D-Dammit! It was perfect!” The student council member cursed as she was being pinned down by Stella. Soon the cops were called and she was taken to the police station for interrogation. “Hah…” Shino fell as all her nervousness escaped, leaving her to start crying. Everyone else came up and were thankful the threat was eliminated. “Welp, that took off a few years off my life.” The mechanic stated as she stretched. “I’m gonna head home and crash.” “I’m glad that this is over too, but this incident may happen again…” Neku mumbled as he held Shino’s hand tightly. “Don’t worry cousin. I can easily get the word out about messing with Shino and you. And I can make it convincing.” Ayumi stated. “Tch, leave it to me asshat. I’ve actually acted a bit, I can make the message MUCH more clearly.” Hana smirked. “Why you…tch!” “Anyway that’s over for now…see you later.” Seiichi stated as he, Yuka, Satoru, Tomoyo, and soon Hana and Ayumi left the school. “Hey Shino, remember you still got us to help ya!” Lillian smiled at the girl as she gave a hug. “Don’t be afraid to call us.” The blonde haired girl stated. “Yeah, gonna head home now.” Erika finally stated. Soon Lillian’s group of friends went home. “C-Can you stay with me for the night?” Shino asked the remaining boy. “Sure…” Neku responded, kissing Shino. They couple went home, knowing well that the nightmare was taken care of.

Alright, sorry for the delay. HERE WE GGGGOOOOOOOOO. Chapter 23: Inside the Virtual World “Let’s go.” Neku stated as he was ready to enter the realm of virtual reality. It had come a long way since the inception of simply just seeing a programmed area. Now the technology had exponentially gotten better as more people worked on it and entire cities and fantasy worlds can be created. And one such world held a racing style MMO that Neku loved to log into. Once the initial startup screens flashed by, he entered into a rather normal looking city with tall corporate buildings, construction sites, and houses strewed around the area. Then after a quick second his car popped into existence, the car was a digital copy of his RX-7 in the real world. “Looks like they still need to fix the spawning issue.” The boy mumbled as he entered the car, where some screens came up as a means of making sure that original user was entering the car. Once the screens disappeared, he revved up the RX-7 and sped off into the streets. The general theme of this game was to any of the free roaming games available on most console systems. There were many areas that one could race, from the city to the open plains to pretty dangerous mountain passes. Because of this wide diversity in landscapes it was no surprise that this virtual game was the ‘pinnacle’ of virtual racing games…and the world would continue to get bigger and bigger until the game would shut down. Within this game there were two different servers, they were the Realism server and Arcade server. As the names implied, the worlds had a different means of controlling cars. Neku was a fan of the former server, where his skills as a street racer first began. But Neku was not here for practice, he was here to meet up at his in-game apartment with Shino. In the real world it was an unusually hot day for spring, with the temperature sky rocketing to a steady 90 and up, and they were planning to go on a date…but the excruciating heat made them have a change in plans. It would be nothing more than a bit of time together and then a quick drive to the beach area and back…and maybe some more time together. Shino was already logged in and was waiting at the location of Neku’s apartment, which was a very nice building and something that many people would be envious about. In the virtual world Shino looked exactly like herself in real life, with the exception of being slightly taller, brighter blue hair, and a more shapely body to compensate for her…lacking features. She wore a simple white t-shirt that barely exposed her midriff and some black jeans that lightly accented her virtual curves, something she would never wear in real life. She drove a digital copy of her R33 with the exception of a single white line that ran across the car. “Sorry for the wait.” Neku said as he got to the location, he looked no different from what he looked like in real life with the exception of being a bit taller than Shino and having more defined features around this face, making him look older and mature. He wore a red shirt with a black trench jacket and brown cargo pants, something that Neku would not normally wear outside. The two of them then exited their cars and hugged real quickly before he used an item to unlock the door to the building. “I am curious, how the heck did you get this apartment? It’s stupidly expensive.” Shino asked as the two of them entered the elevator that would instantly lead to his apartment. “I’m not sure if you remember, but did you sign up for that in game lottery that was going on last year?” “I remember that, the grand prize was five cars of your choosing right?” “Yup, I actually got the honorary prize in that drawing. This was the ‘mystery prize’ that they sent me.” “Huh, all I got was a lousy thousand credits…aka what I put in was what I got back.” Shino huffed at the memory of her opening the message. “Heh, well I keep saying you can move in with me at any time sweetie.” The elevator door opened, leading to the apartment. It was something similar to an extremely high class apartment, a lot of room with a bunch of expensive looking stuff. The overall theme was modern with white and black coloring to it. There was also a window that overlooked the city and quite a bit of the nearby plains. “I thought you lived in a basic apartment, so when I got the message I said no…but now I kinda want to.” The girl said as she sat down on the couch overlooking the city. “Offers open sweetie, funny enough this building only has twelve occupants and seven of them are the admins of the game.” The boy reiterated as he sat down next to Shino. “Really? No wonder so little people lived here when I saw the occupants list.” “Yup, so you wanna move in?” Neku then swiped down a menu and offered Shino to live with him in the virtual world. “Hm…sure.” Shino was about to tap yes, but Neku held her hand and he had a sly smile on his face. “Uh…what’s the deal?” “Oh I dunno…maybe I like teasing you a bit.” He then moved in for a kiss and slowly laid her down on the couch. Soon the message was swiped away by Shino for a make out session. A bit into the session they soon disrobed, leaving the two of them in their underwear. They were going at it for a while, hands were touching the other gender’s body and both of them started to arouse one another. Unlike most virtual worlds, this game allowed for opposite genders to have full body contact and only on the Realism server. And the two of them exploited this trait a lot, with the two high schoolers lustfully touching each other when in the real world would they would never do so, even in their bedrooms. This world was the only place where they could throw away their shyness and embrace their hormonal urges. “Ok…we should stop now. Let me resend it.” Neku gasped as he and Shino got up, with their faces red with lust and them hungrily gasping for air. After a few more swallows of air Shino accepted the message and soon another message appeared saying that her cars would be transferred over soon. They both sat there for a few minutes. “Hey Neku, you love me right?” The blue haired girl asked, her breathing becoming more natural by the second. “I do Shino, what do I need to prove it?” The bespectacled boy asked, only to have the girl lustfully lick her lips. Again, thanks to the full body contact nature of this game the two high schoolers exploited it…to its near fullest. “Well whatever, we should really go and get that drive in.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “About time Lillian!” Erika exclaimed. “Sorry, sorry. I had to move downstairs because the temperature is too damn high!” Lillian stuck out her tongue. “Ugh…” Stella sighed. Lillian’s friends also played the same game and were on the same server as Neku. Erika didn’t receive many gifts for her birthday last year, but thanks to the part time job and a bit of pitching in from her friends she was able to finally buy a VR headset. “Well as long as you feel comfortable it’s ok. Anyway let’s go start that run.” Jun stated as she got into a virtual Elise, similar to her real life car, the heavily tuned rev of the engine was the only significant difference. “On the clock Jun?” The ice haired girl said. Her virtual self was not that much different over her life self, with the same hair and features. During the years Lillian grew slightly and her body became much curvier, possibly due to her mother’s genes. “Well I have a cram session, I have to go to in a few.” The Elise driver sighed. Other than a marginal height difference and slightly more curves, Jun remained pretty much the same. “Stop stalling Lillian.” Stella firmly said as she entered into her Lan Evo X. Unlike her real life car, the virtual version had a significantly modified exterior, looking more like an exaggerated rally car with an exaggerated wing and a completely unique body kit. She was the only one not to have changed in any way, now becoming the shortest of the girls…and she hated that. “Seriously Lil.” Erika sighed, entering into her GT300 inspired S2000 complete with various sponsors and a unique paint job. Nature was nice to her as she grew and her body became curvier as well. In terms of height she and Lillian were equal contenders for being tallest in the group. “Sorry!” The girl huffed as she jumped into her digital copy of her 370Z. The four of them then accelerated to the highway where Lillian then set up a race room for them. “Alrighty then! Here we go!” ________________________________________________________________________________ “I like this at times.” Shino said as the two of them were racing to the beach area. This time though, he was not driving his RX-7 but a silver McLaren 650S that he earned with his racing. “The car or the fact that you’re not driving?” Neku sighed as they continued onto the beach. “Guess which one. Anyway I plan on just vegging out today so don’t be surprised if I don’t pick up any of your calls today.” “Hm, ok. Anyway I think I see my sister and her friends.” The driver and passenger looked a bit ahead and saw four cars coming straight at them. “Yup. Definitely her.” The four cars then zoomed past the McLaren and shortly after the two of them were at the beach, where they didn’t swim but had another heavy kissing session. The beach air felt nice at least. “Ah I feel tired Neku.” Shino yawned as she brought up her menu. “See you at school.” “Same.” Neku smiled as he saw his girlfriend magically disappear in an instant. “Yeah, the spawning system’s still buggy. They usually slowly disappear rather than just pop away.” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Dammit Lil!” Erika cursed as the four entered the city area. The 370Z was in front, the Evo X second, and the Elise and S2000 tied for third. “Hehehehe! Catch me if you can!” Lillian sang as she grinned and drifted a sharp left. The Evo X also drifted, but not in the same style as the 370Z. “Well she is a drifter.” Jun sighed as the Elise and S2000 gripped the corner. The race was about over and it looked like Lillian would win another race. “Hm!” Stella hummed as she slammed the accelerator and drafted the 370Z, slowly catching up to it a few hundred meters before the finish. “NOW!” “WHA?!” The 370Z driver shouted as the Evo X slingshot around the Z and claimed first. “Boom.” The blonde haired girl stated before she slowed down for a few donuts. “Yeah…” “Not bad Stella. Anyway I gotta jump.” The green haired girl stated before pulling the menu up to log out. “I swear they need to fix the spawn and despawn transition. It’s a pop. Really?” Erika stated as she noticed the Elise just instantly disappeared. “Anyway I’m gonna jump to, fucking homework.” “Anyway, you won Stella. And as we talked about you get a reward so what ya want?” The ice haired girl asked as Stella exited her car. “If you don’t mind.” She then went up to Lillian and gave her a small kiss on the cheek. “There that’s what I wanted to do…nowIleavenowgoodbye.” After a few seconds pass Lillian placed a hand on her cheek and was dumbstruck.

...Wowzers...over 152 days since my last update. Ugh, I can only say that I am so sorry. Life was eating me up and I had a huge writer's block too...again I am sorry. This chapter is short but if it kick starts this fic then I will take it. Chapter 24: A Second Life Stella simply sighed. Another day at the café, another day at school, another day being the shortest of the four. She changed out of her uniform for the café and stared at herself at a nearby mirror. She hated that she was shorter than everyone else, she wasn’t as short as a certain pink haired idol, but she was short. Her shoulder long hair was the same, her body type was the same, everything about her felt so similar and boring to her. Perhaps she was depressed? No, she was ok. She didn’t feel like the world was crushing her. “Watcha doing Stella?” Lillian’s voice surprised her as Stella examined the girl, who was also out of her uniform. She…she was everything Stella wanted to be. A curvy figure that is nice to the eye and a bubbly personality mixed in. Stella wanted that, Stella wished to be her. “Just…looking at myself.” The smaller girl replied. “I see I see. Hey I have to go early, momma wants me to help her with dinner. So see ya!” Lillian said quickly as she changed back to her school clothes. She ran out with great haste. “Jeez Lil, so energetic.” Erika said as she put on her school clothes. “Anyway I’m out Stella, see ya tomorrow.” “I have to go as well, I will see you.” Jun spoke last as she was exiting the dressing room. “Ok.” Was Stella’s simple answer. She wasn’t a wordy girl nor was she one to hang out with other people often. Sighing she looked at the mirror one last time before changing her clothes. Stella returned home immediately and plopped herself onto her bed. She was tired of this little game of life…or was it a large game? Every day was tiring for her, without something to live for what good is life? A question that was maybe too philosophical for her but she was always questioning her life. Perhaps she was depressed but an alarm was set off, it was set at 9:30PM. It was time for her to go out. She did a look over of her Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, a black car that had a RalliArt body kit and had a modified engine that was not for straight line power. Stella had the idea that accelerating out of a corner faster was more important than maxing out in a line. Sighing she got inside the Evo X and started the engine, a roar that was normal for her. The streets were quiet today as she went to the Ushiroyama pass, no one was there was well. Guess there were no races today. The Evo X spun its tires a bit and shot off the start line as it started the run. Upon reaching the first hairpin, she initiated a drift that was on par with Lillian’s highway drift. And as she navigated the small corners leading up to the first set of consecutive hairpins Stella readied herself. While she didn’t use the gutter she managed to hold pretty close to the inside line of the turns. One after another, she managed to sweep through the hairpins as usual. Then she let the car accelerate through the straight, eased off a bit for the left and slammed the accelerator through the long straight. During that moment Stella was deep in thought, it was as if time slowed down for her as the car kept moving on. At this point she would just think in her head about stuff and in a few rare cases, like right now, she would monologue her thoughts. “Why did I think about my body today? What is wrong with me? Perhaps it’s my…maybe? Last time I checked it was going to be a while, but…damn what is wrong with me? Perhaps I should talk this out with other people. First off Jun, she isn’t too busy on a good number of days, so it’s possible for me to talk to her for a bit. But I don’t feel all too comfortable talking with her, maybe I could say that it’s a hypothetical situation with her? Next is Lillian…why does thinking about her make my heart race? Anyway I feel comfortable talking to her but her personality may not be ready for a serious talk. She’s usually free outside of work. Then there is Erika, I get a bad vibe out of her. So maybe I shouldn’t talk to her, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt…maybe.” After the monologue her body instinctively made the right turn to the final set of turns. Her mind caught up to the run and Stella focused her red eyes to the road. A hairpin left to a sharp right, then a left turn into a hairpin, then a right a hairpin left and onward to the end. After the small s turn the run was over, Stella sighed and decided to step outside of the car, needing some fresh air. “Perhaps I’m getting lonely. That must be it.” Stella said as she exhaled. “A mountain run can be pretty lonely and boring if you don’t have another person to compete against. Ah well, I should sleep soon.” ________________________________________________________________________________ So, thanks to life catching up to me I think I will try and finish up at least the Highway arc. Again I apologize for the near 5 month delay of an update.

Uh..so where is the next update? Unfortunately due to some circumstances on my end I won't be able to work on this anymore. Sorry in advance. BUT with that said, my mind has wanted to create a new version of this fic. So when the time arises, I will put up the new version of Generational Wings. I can say a few of the changes I made so you can have some interest. 1. The Kurubasa family now have five children, a set of triplets and twins. 2. The overall tone will be more...varied. I wanted to try a new style so this fic will have that style. 3. This fic will only focus on the highway for now, thinking back I may have been too ambitious in making two arcs. So yeah. This version of Generational Wings will be closed. But I will have a new version up...whenever I can.
