BLAH BLAH BLAH! LEts get this started!

Chapter 1

Ry's eye's time for the pass had started a half hour ago, and Takami was late. Takami was never late! Something must have come up... If he comes, he comes.

"K.T., why don't you start with five uphill runs at 75%." K.T. nodded and walked off, getting in his FD and driving away. Ry looked after his brother for a while, then a sound from his pocket distracted him. It was his cell phone ringing. He answered it.

"Ryosouke Takahashi... Oh, hello Takami... Oh, you're coming?... So she's coming as well... Alright...You're on the pass...A few minutes?...Okay see you then..."

Takami had a sister? And she was coming from someplace foriegn?Nah, most likely Tokyo.

"I wonder what's going on in Ryosouke's head right now..." One enigineer whispered to his colleague, who shrugged soundlessly. Little did they know that that was the question going on in everybodies' heads.

"Whoever set up this engine was a real amatuer, Takami. When we get to the top of the pass I'm gonna have to re-route some cables... Think they'll let a girl do her job?" Tohru looked over at Takami, who was studiously ignoring her. She pouted, but then snapped out of it as she heard a stable engine come from behind her.

"That is an amatuer. He doesn't drift at all right, eh Takami?"

"I know those guys, Tohru. they're friends of mine." She looked over at him, mouth agape.

"Oh. My bad. Shall we pull into the shoulder to chat for a second?" Tak looked at her and shrugged his shoulders.

"Sure, as long as it doesn't take too long. We're already late as it is."

Takami pulled into the shoulder, flashing his lights as he did to make sure they would slow down with him. The SpeedStars followed, stopping and getting out. The all did a double-take when Takami got out. That wasn't what made them do a double-take though. It was the girl who followed him out on the passenger side. They were all surprised as the girl spoke. Surely, such a British accent flowing effortlessly over the Japanese language was illegal!The words she spoke though... had a brisk, commanding air to them, even as she was complimenting Tak.

" Your driving has improved Takami. You still let the rear drift too much though. And your tires are loosing their grip. Now let's chat with your friends over there. I think we're neglecting them."

They walked over and stopped in front of them. The girl was like a goddess! How'd Tak get such a kill?

"Hi there. I'm Tohru Fugiwara. Nice ta meet 'cha." Were they mute or something? All they did was stare! I don't even know why they're not answering.

" Hi I'm Cole. This here's my team, we're the SpeedStars." Cole puffed out his chest as he said it. Maybe she'd be impressed by that. Maybe even enoguth to ditch Tak. Cole immeadiately felt sorry that he'd thought that.

His expectations fell short. She just raised an eyebrow, frustratingly calm.

"Hey guys...This is my sister you mind if she drove your car Cole? I think my driving's too slow for her..." Everybody stared, slack-jawed at the chick in front of them. Wow she must be tough if she says that to Tak!

"Uh sure Tak."

"And we're a little late so can we go?" Tohru asked, wanting to see the top of the pass nodded soundlessly and moved to the passenger side seat. Tohru sat next to him, breathing evenly, calm as could be. She didn't notice how Cole's breathing hitched when she grabbed the shift and switched gears. She blinked the lights, telling Tak to start. Tak pulled out of the shoulder at full speed with Tohru keeping up.

Cole looked nervously at the girl sitting next to him. She was driving like Takami used to, propping her head up on her arm, like a bored shcoolgirl! Yet she was keeping up easily with Tak, who was going full-throttle.

RY heard the squeling of tires from the top of the mountain. And by the looksof it, he had a follower behind him.

The they came into the five hair-pin turns. Tohru break-drifted getting almost as close as an inch to the expression barely changed the entire time, only when Cole passed out at the second hair-pin did she allow herself a smile.

After Cole passed out, she allowed herself to pull a stunt that would've given Cole a heartattack if he was awake. She passed Takami on the outside during a corner drift. It was a near impossible move and she pulled it off effortlessly.

Tak looked at the retreating end of the S13. He was definately sure that Tohru was driving it now. After all SHE was the one who came up with the stirring technique.

Tohru was a much beter driver than he was. Tohru flashed the lights and pulled over. Takami pulled up beside her and rolled down his windows.

"Hey Tak!I don't know if Ry would like it if I was in front of you so you lead on 'kay?" Tak nodded and led the S13 up the path, where where Ry awaited them at the top.
