I don't own any of the character apart from Tasha and her family.

This story doesn't follow the events of Tokyo drift. There is no Sean and DK is bad but not that evil. Han doesn't die.

Tasha's POV

Tokyo is a city which really doesn't sleep. It was nigh time in Tokyo but that didn't mean that there wasn't any lights around. Every part of the street was lit up by different coloured lights flashing. As I stood in the car park looking down of at the hundreds of people bustling around. Everyone in their own world in a rush to be going somewhere in their separate directions. Voices and music echoing in my ears. The floor vibrating to the beat of the music. Surrounded by a massive crowd I still feel alone, completely and utterly alone. Looking around at the place I've called home for the past six months had never seemed so unfamiliar or made me feel so lonely. I had always wanted to come to Tokyo but never like this and defiantly not to live but I guess that why people say you should be careful what you wish for because you never know when it might come true. No matter how many times I made myself promise that I would never think about the real reason I came out here my thoughts kept travelling back to things that I came to Tokyo to forget. Shaking my head I told myself for the millionth time that I had moved here to be close to my Nan. The same reason I kept telling everyone hoping that if I said it enough times I might actually believe it not that it was a complete lie. After all I did want to be closer to my Nan. The wind whipped my jet black hair with red highlight which naturally fell into curls around my head flew around my face. My skin was lightly tanned considering I was half Japanese from my mother's side and half American from my dad's side. I had a strange mix of blue and green in my eyes which made my eyes look a little like the ocean. I put my arms around myself in an attempt to keep me warm. I had chosen to wear a strapless red dress which ended halfway down my thighs thanks to a tight elastic. I didn't really wear such short tight dress especially when it was cold unlike the girls around me. I thought back to the pain that Neela had put me through to convince me to wear this dress. I thought back to the first time I had met Neela and smiled.

End of Tasha's POV

Flashback

It was Tasha's fourth day in Tokyo and the first time she was leaving the house. Taking one last look at herself in the mirror Tash sighed. She was wearing the tradition uniform from the school her Nan had signed her up to. It was hideous and the skirt was ridiculously short according to Tasha. Leaving her hair out Tash grabbed her bag and waved bye to her Nan. Tash had no idea where the hell she was going. Luckily her Tasha's Nan Niang had ordered Tash a taxi. Niang knew Tash had the world's worst sense of direction. Tash could literally get lost with a map. That's how bad she was.

Tash got into the taxi. The taxi driver turned to back to look at Tash and smiled. "First day" asked the taxi driver as he started driving. "Yeah dreading it" moaned Tash. "Don't worry it won't be as bad as you think" said the driver in an attempt to reassure Tash. Tash and the taxi driver whose name was Otto as she found out later made small talk on the drive. Finally arriving at the school Otto turned back to Tash. "I'll pick you up from here at the end of the school day. Good luck for your first day" said Otto. Tash smiled in response still not looking very convinced.

Tash got out of the car and walked as slowly as possible to the gate dreading the day. It also didn't help that people were staring at her. She could hear people whispering the word "gaijin." This made Tash roll her eyes. As Tash got to the gate the bell went which made everyone go to their lessons as she walked to the reception. The lady smiled at Tash. Once Tash had got her timetable the lady showed her to her class. Luckily there was a spare seat by the window where Tash sat and put her head on the desk.

Feeling a tap on her shoulder Tash looked up at the girl next to her. The girl smiled and offered a hand. "I'm Neela." Tash shook Neela's hand "Nice to meet you, Neela. I'm Natasha but you can call me Tash." Tash usually never yet people call her Tash until she was close to her but for some reason she liked Neela. "And I'm," said a guy leaning way too close over the desk invading her personal bubble "Morimoto." Tash just leaned back in her chair away from him and replied. "Nice to meet you." Neela gave Morimoto a don't even think about it look which Morimoto ignored and laughed before turning back over to his friends. Neela turned her attention back to Tash. "So, you just moved here?" asked Neela. "That obvious?" laughed Tash. "Don't worry. Not a bad obvious. Did you move from the States?" smiled Neela. That had more or less started of their friendship. Neela and Tash were together in most of their lessons which gave them a chance to get to know each other even more. Tash liked Neela because she was a really good friend but didn't really like the people she chooses to hang around with.

Tasha's first day at school was also the day she had met Twinkie when he tried to sell her some chocolate. Tash didn't buy anything from Twinkie but it gave her a chance to get to know Twinkie. Twinkie had later introduced Tasha to Earl and Reiko. Tash and Reiko instantly hit it off. Tash liked Neela and Reiko but choose to hang around with Reiko, Earl and Twink more because she couldn't stand Morimoto hitting on her. Morimoto didn't seem to like the way Tash had rejected him and had seemed to be determined to keep trying.

Reiko was the first person to invite Tash to the races. It was on her second day at lunch. "Do you have any plans tonight Tash?"Asked Reiko. "Nope." Replied Tash more interested in the apple she was eating. "Then you must come out with us tonight." Said Reiko. "Where?" asked Tash looking at Reiko with a confused look on her face. "You'll see. It's a place where I'm sure you'll love it. There's lots of cars to see, a few drift races to watch and we can just hang out at the after party. You can even come home with me after school. We can be girlie girls and get ready together." Smiled Reiko. "What about my Nan I can't exactly say I'm going to an illegal racing thing" said Tash with a roll of her eyes. "Tell her you were given an assignment and we're paired for it." Said Reiko like it was the most obvious thing. Tash grinned at her friend. "I like the way you think but racing not really my thing I mean I don't even know what the hell drifting is. Besides the only thing I know about cars is how to drive them and that's it" said Tash in an attempt to get out of going. Reiko had pestered Tash for a whole week to try to get her to go to the races but Neela was the first person to convince Tasha's to go to the races.

It was at the races when Tash met Neela's boyfriend DK and learnt what drifting was. Tash didn't really like DK when she first met him but put up with him for Neela's sake. However over the past six months Tash and DK had formed an understanding. Tash still didn't like DK very much but she understood why he acted the way he did. It was at the races were Twinkie had introduced her to Han.

End of flashback

Tasha's POV

I finally snapped out of my own world when I heard my name being called. Turning around I turned to see Neela which automatically put a soft smile on my lips. "Hey what's up?" I asked once Neela was a few feet away. "Hey Tash what are you doing standing in the corner on your own? Never mind look a few of us a going back to the Han's club and I really want you to come please" pleaded Neela to her friend. Taking a look around Tash saw DK standing by his car on his phone ignoring the girls around him. DK looked up to Tash and nodded his way of greeting Tash. Tash then looked to Morimoto and rolled her eyes when she saw him wink at her. They were both surrounded by a few other guys and a lot of girls. Tash let her eyes wonder more to the right where she saw Han with his arms over two girls eating some sweets. Tasha's eyes lingered on Han for a few seconds longer than necessarily. Sighing Tash looked back at Neela. "Reiko, earl and Twink are coming as well" said Neela before Tash could say anything. "Sure why not" replied Tash giving into her friend. It wasn't like she had anything better to do. Tasha was seventeen she was turning eighteen in a few weeks but that didn't matter because no one was going to ask for any ID. Neela smiled and pulled Tash into a hug.
