Well hello there, I am the new kid on the block here :D
I've seen all the movies but I personally thought Tokyo Drift was the best. Not only because of the characters but also the storyline. Then I got all of these ideas in my head for a story. Now I have written fanfiction in the past. I just never put it on a website ;)
So this is my first shot at this. Enjoy and reviews are very, very welcome. One comment on the reviews… be honest but gentle :P
Disclaimer: I owe nothing except for a DVD of this movie :D
My fast and furious: Tokyo style
by Mysteriouslady
Chapter one
Purple.
That was the only thing I could think of to describe the interior of this car. I softly stroked the furry fabric on the dashboard.
'Nice, huh?' Twinkie said to me proud as a kid.
'Well, it certainly is orginal.' I snickered.
'Mate, this is just a polite way to say your car is ugly.' Earl said from the backseat. I turned around to look at him with a warning look. Reiko already hit Earl on the back of his head.
'Hey no one asked you to drive with me, monkey. If you don't like the car, then walk.' Twinkie said grumbling. 'No your car is awesome, Twink.'
We entered the parking garage in a pretty remote area of town. 'What's up, Tosh?' Twinkie said as he rolled down his window. The guy at the entrance gave a small nod of recognition. He lifted the pole and Twinkie drove into the parking garage. What I saw next was like the Walhalla of cars. Beautiful tuned up cars everywhere.
'Wow, this is amazing.'
Twinkie parked the car and we all got out. I felt a bit uncomfortable since I didn't know that many people here. I hated to be the new kid on the block. Sure there were some advantages but still it sucked.
'Let me show you around girl.' Twinkie put his hand on the small of my back as he escorted me. Besides the cars there were also a lot of girls there. A lot of girls in skirts that I would probably use as a scarf. I was pretty glad that I wore a black simple haltertop on top of my jeans. At least I showed some skin.
'That's egghead over there.' Twink pointed out a bald man.
'And I can see why they call him that.' I chuckled.
We were making our way passed cars as Twinkie pointed out more people. We stopped at a place where Reiko and Earl where checking out a car. Suddenly the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. You know that feeling when you just know someone's watching you. And then usually you write it off as a sign of you being paranoid. I looked up from the engineblock and turned around. There was this guy on the other side of the 'road'. He was standing about 10 meters from where I was. I looked straight in the eyes of this guy that was casually leaning against a car. He was surrounded by girls and he ate something out of a small bag. He continued eating slowly as he stared straight at me. I don't know what it was but there was something about this guy which made it difficult to turn away. I raised an eyebrow at him.
'That's Han standing over there.' Twinkie interrupted my thoughts. I broke the stare and looked at Twinkie. 'He's cool. Just make sure you stay on his good side and you won't have a problem with him. Besides you're a girl so you already have an extra point.'
I nodded slowly as both Twinkie and I looked at Han, making it obvious that we were talking about him. Han just continued to stare. I don't know what it was exactly but there was a small threat coming from his stare.
'Yo Han,' Twinkie yelled as he put a hand on my shoulder, 'She's cool. New monkey.'
Han just continued to stare like he didn't even hear Twinkie.
'See the dude next to Han? That's DK. I told you about him in the break. Now you don't want to mess with him, girl. He's yakuza. Yakuza means…' I interrupted Twink as I crossed my arms and looked briefly at DK.
'I know what yakuza is.'
'Oh ok, good then you know not to mess with him.' DK looked up slowly from his phone. He stepped up to Han and said something while they both looked at me. I resisted the urge to wave at them.
'Now is he giving you an entire who's who list? Give the girl a break, Twink.' Earl said as he put an arm around my shoulder. 'Or at least type it out and give her a list.'
I ignored the following argument. I threw the Han guy a last glance as I noticed Neela driving into the garage. I loved the colors of her car. It wasn't too girly, it kicked ass.
'You know what, guys. I'll leave you two to it.' With that I stepped out of the middle and walked up to Neela's car. I walked passed Han and DK but didn't look their way. Though I probably walked with a bit more attitude than I did before. Neela spotted me as soon as she got out of the car.
'Hey Jea, everything okay?' Neela said as she hugged me.
'Definitly, with you?' I asked as I retuned the hug.
'Yeah, I'm okay. So how did you get here?' We started to discuss a few things as we walked in the direction of the others.
'I'm going to check on DK for a minute. I think he's going to race. I'll see you in a bit.' Neela said as the crossed the road heading for DK.
I was about to walk towards Twinkie, Reiko and Earl who had moved up a few cars further down the row when someone grabbed my ass. I turned around quickly to look at whatever bastard had done that. I came face to face with Morimoto. Twinkie had told me about him at school. I knew he was DK's sidekick. I also knew the moment I looked at him that he annoyed the hell out of me. He spoke softly to me in Japanese. I only recognised Neela's name. But it didn't sound nice. The tone he used was more or less threatening which he only enhanced by stroking a strand of hair behind my ear.
'Blondie, speak English if you want me to understand.' I gritted through my teeth.
'Ah yes, I forgot gaijins do not understand Japanese.'
'Funny isn't it that even I know what gaijin means, Blondie.' He moved even closer to me almost touching my forehead with his.
'Watch it blue eyes, you have no idea who I am.'
'True, but I'm guessing Barbie must miss her Ken.' We stared at each other both refusing to be the first to step away. Suddenly I heard a soft chuckle. Someone spoke in Japanese to Morimoto causing him to step back after a slight hesitation. He threw me a look before he walked passed me. I turned to see Han standing next to me. I tilted my head sideways as I looked at him wondering. Eyes that could see your soul.
'Thank you.'
'Thank Earl for noticing Morimoto.' Earl and Reiko were standing a few meters away from us. Han raised an eyebrow at me before walking away.
'Bring her with you tomorrow.' He ordered Earl and Reiko as he passed them by.
'Don't mind Morimoto. He's just a prick.' Reiko said as she grabbed my hand, pulling me with them. 'Now come on and watch your first drifting race in Tokyo.'
On the way back Reiko, Earl and Twinkie were discussing DK's drifting skills.
'He normally takes the second turn sharper than he did tonight.' Twinkie said.
'I wonder can any of y'all learn me how to drift?' I said while looking at them. Silence met my question.
'Well, can you race?'
'Hell yeah I can race. What did you think I did back in Holland? Wearing wooden shoes and do drugs?'
Earl snickered. 'Hey girl, I just wondered.'
'We're not going to teach you how to drift.' Twinkie said seriously.
'Most important because Twinkie can't even drift himself. But Han wants us to take you with us to his garage tomorrow so you'll have to ask him. He's an awesome drifter.'
'Does he race?'
'No, not often at least. He did race a lot in the past.' Reiko answered. She continued. 'Come with us to the garage tomorrow and talk to Han.'
'Yeah. I'll do that if you don't mind.'
'Of course not girl, you're the new monkey.' Twinkie pulled up the parking lot.
I got out of the car.
'I'll see y'all tomorrow at school.' I smiled as I closed the car door of Twinkie's car. I waved till they rounded the corner. Twinkie had dropped me off at a supermarket in the middle of a domestic area. Small houses were build all around the supermarket. I crossed the parking lot to my car. I wondered how long I could keep them fooled that I lived in this street. Maybe it was time to change my strategy. I got into my car, a Peugot 206 CC. It wasn't my favourite but it would do and it didn't draw much of attention to it. I sped through the streets of Tokyo, driving the all so familiar road to my house. I rounded the corner and stopped in front of a driveway. I pressed the button next to the speaker and the gate opened. The house wasn't to far from the road. You could actually just look at it through the gate. It was pretty big though. I parked the car on my parking space in front of the house. I grabbed my stuff. My car door was opened from the outside, I got out and smiled at David.
'Thanks David.' I said as I was heading to the front door.
'No problem, miss.'
I opened the front door and dropped my bag and keys on the table in the hall. The house was quiet and except for some small lights it was pretty dark. The hall wasn't overly big. It had a big mahogany stairs thanks to my mother. I softly tiptoed into the kitchen to get some water before calling it a night. As I crossed the living room I heard my father call my name. I stepped into the living room which was big with a huge fire place. Leather couches in front of the fireplace.
'Hey daddy, what's up?'
'I just wanted to see if you were okay. Kind of late weren't you.' I sat down on the couch in front of him. My father was sitting back on the couch with a cigar in his hand. A glass whiskey in the other one. Dugging up my cigarettes out of my bag, I sat back and lit one.
'I went with Twinkie, Reiko and Earl to a parking garage where they hold races. I'm sorry for not letting you know where I was.' I inhaled deeply as I looked at my father.
'That's ok, sugar. Marc already checked where you were. Just send me a message next time so I won't have to send anyone to look for you.'
'I didn't even see Marc.'
'No, but it is his job to stay invisible.' I leaned back on the couch and inhaled deeply once again, enjoying the feeling.
'Are you enjoying yourself in Tokyo?'
I thought about the question. Reiko and Earl were very nice and very funny when arguing. Twinkie was just a sweetheart. Then piercing brown eyes entered my mind.
'Yes daddy, I do like it here. I enjoy myself and I've met some great people.'
'No problems with being a bit secretive?'
'No not at all. I know what I need to do.' I put out my cigarette in the ashtray on the table. 'I'm going to bed.' I walked to my father and kissed him goodnight. I was almost out of the room when he said one final thing.
'Your brothers are doing great by the way. Just wanted you to know. Sleep well, sugar.' I nodded.
After drinking some water I grabbed my bag in the hall and made my way up the stairs. Upstairs was a large hallway. My room was at the end of the hall with a separate bathroom. I dropped down on my double bed feeling the smooth satin underneath me. The lifestyle has some advantages but sometimes comes with a high price.
Drop me a line please :D
