Konnichi wa!

Okay, this one MIGHT be a little confusing, but it WILL become clearer as it goes on.

This is a strange AU – I got it from a game!

Need For Speed Most Wanted. AH! IT ROCKS! I LOVE THAT GAME!

The cars! Gah! The cars! –drool-

The Vinyls! –drools some more-

I love my cars.

I can't tell you the pairing now, because that would ruin EVERYTHING! XD

But it will become clearer as it goes on, and the pairings WILL be uncovered.

Just be patient!

And review!

I have become a review whore! XD

Race One – Enter the City

"Awe, crap."

He rested his blonde head on the hood of his car.

"Great – my first day here and already it sucks."

"Hey – what happened to you?" He raised his head to see a slouching teenager no older than him, a cigarette smoking in between his lips. He frowned.

"Some no good bastard made off with my tires," he replied grimly. The other grinned.

"Tireless, huh? I think I could hook ya up. But that depends…" His eyes turned sharp. "You in, or out?"

Now Naruto knew the meaning of that question – knew what the other was implying.

"In," he replied. The other raised an eyebrow.

"Lemme see your record," he said. Naruto nodded and took something out of his back pocket, walking a few feet away from his car to give it to him.

"I'm kinda new – started only last year. It's kinda small." The other teenager grinned.

"A rookie, eh? You must be a pretty good one then – to get to Rosewood so fast." Naruto blushed.

"Well – I'm better than everyone else in my hometown."

"And where is that?"

"Konoha." The other raised an eyebrow, still holding the device.

"Never heard of it," he replied. Naruto grinned.

"Of course you haven't." The other nodded absentmindedly.

"'Drive', eh?" He asked, looking at the small screen. "That's yer alias? 'Drive'? All right then, Drive…" he gave the card back. "Come on – I can hook ya up, easy. I'll take ya there. Follow me." Grinning, Naruto complied.

"So what's your alias?" He asked the other. He shrugged.

"Uncensored," he replied. "But I'm not really that big around here. Been rollin' these streets for a long time but I NEVER got on top – nah – someone beat me to it. Ah – here we are."

Naruto found himself looking at an Audi A4, the paint job simple and subtle. Uncensored ran a hand across the hood lovingly.

"Yep – this is my baby. Now c'mon – before some cop sees us." Nodding, Naruto complied.

The blonde was shocked to see that Uncensored was actually going the speed limit. Uncensored saw his face.

"My car is one strike from gettin' impounded, and I don't have the money to buy it out. So I need to be rollin' clean for a while until my heat goes down." Naruto nodded.

"So the cops here are pretty tough, huh?" Uncensored hissed out a breath.

"Duh kid – this is Rosewood, two steps away from Rockport – the most notorious city for street racers. The sheriff – his nickname's Snakeman. He's NOT a pushover." Then Uncensored grinned. "But then again… neither is Blacklist number 1." Naruto's eyes brightened.

"This borough has a BLACKLIST?" He asked excitedly. Uncensored nodded.

"That's right Drive – a blacklist. Fifteen of the most notorious street racers EVER to come out of Rosewood, Camden Beach, OR Rockport. The best of the best." Naruto's eyes became shiny.

"Wow…" he breathed. Uncensored grinned as he drove up a hill.

"Yeah – it would be killer to be there," he breathed. Naruto looked at him.

"What do you know about the blacklist?"

"Not much – only rumors – they like to keep a tight lid on what happens, ya know? Only the races get any attention in the underground. Take this rumor for instance," Uncensored turned onto the highway. "There's a rumor going around that the number one guy on the blacklist hasn't lost a SINGLE race – not ever since his brother was around." Naruto blinked.

"His brother?" He asked. Uncensored nodded.

"Right – his brother. See, his brother was the number one blacklist member before him. But something happened – a family spat is a nice way to explain it – and the younger brother spent eight years working at his racing talents. He finally threw out his older brother when he was sixteen. They say that right after his older lost, he threw him into prison. Street racing has a high cost in this town." Naruto nodded, absorbing this.

"What else?" He asked. Uncensored cocked his head, flicking someone off as he cut in front of them while they blared their horn.

"Well, they say he also kept his older brother's car. He never races with it – just keeps it as a trophy. There's also another rumor that the number one member is gay." Naruto's eyes widened.

"Gay?" He asked. Uncensored nodded.

"Yep – gay. See, there are a lot of – how do ya say – chorus girls… in the underground that always SWAMP the blacklist members – mainly the number one. However, he doesn't look at 'em. He talks to 'em when he needs tah, but other than that, he just ignores 'em. They say he's seeing both his number two member AND his number four." Naruto blinked.

"What about number three?" Uncensored grinned.

"Well – that's just the thing. Number three's a girl. Ah – here we are." Uncensored pulled into an abandoned drive-in theater, driving behind the old, tattered screen where a hidden body shop was located. "I've got connects here – you can get your tires cheap. C'mon." Both he and Naruto got out of the car, and slipped inside the shop.

"Thanks Uncensored – really," Naruto said. The other shrugged.

"Whatever Drive – now c'mon on, before anyone sees us." Nodding, Naruto followed him into the dark shop.

:Connection Lost:

:Reconnect?:

YES NO

End Race One – Enter the City

Okay – I know it's a bit weird (especially the beginning right before the chapter starts) but hey – I wanted to do something different.

And yes – Naruto is infamous! XD

Heehee.

And no, Uncensored is NOT anyone you guys know. He IS an OC.

But he really doesn't have a big part – just meant to get the story rollin'.

And if you want to humor me and try to guess the pairings, you're more than welcome to.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Please read and review!

Ja ne!
