( A/N: First JSRF fic so keep it gravy, 'kay? I don't own the games nor the characters. Whatever happens, it's only a fic, yah? Read, enjoy and review! )

Chapter One

-Craze, 12:00 p.m.-

"Who are you? What's your name?.." I sing to myself, leaning against a tagged wall. "Super brother!"

Bobbing my head to the music in my ears, my eyes trailed off up the streets where my tag was all over.

"Sup - er Bro - ther.." I mumble to the song from an old band, Guitar Vader. Professor K claims this is a throwback. But hey, old songs can be a fave, yeh? So, I skate slowly to another wall I spotted and took out a grey paintspray can.

Spray. All over the GG tagged brick wall went the silver paint. I lower the volume on my wrist radio after the song finished.

"Hmm. What else? Oh yeah!" I remind myself and adding my sign, three triangles with one shaded. Smirking, I throw away the empty paint can.

"Hey, what's your beef sprayin' over our tags?" A voice came behind me.

I turned around and saw a boy with long hat and two other followers behind him. Winking, I said, "You should check out the other tags up the street. Anyway, I want to join."

Dude, no rudie knows how bad I want to join the GGs. I mean, I'll tag the whole city for them.

They all took a glimpse of me and cracked up.

"What?" I cross my arms and arch my eyebrow. I looked at myself. Yeah, my wear is a bit ordinary. Black and grey baseball tee with my name in Japanese, neon green across the chest. Black baseball gloves and green elbow bands. Huge black headphones with my logo. Grey capris with many pockets, big enough to carry many cans. Black and neon green skates with silver wheels. Nothing to expect from a seventeen year old rudie living in Tokyo Metropolis in the year 2024. So I shrug.

"Whatever, what's your name, chick?" One of the followers demands.

"Rain," I spat, adjusting my glove.

Another of the followers came forth, "Alright then, Rain. I guess you're up for a challenge."

I smirk, "I'm up for any challenge, girl." I feel all extra confident.

"You hear this Yo-Yo? This chick is competition!" The girl said, glaring at me. What's her beef?

"Hmm, yeah she is, Gum." Yo-Yo skids in front of the dude and points at him, "Meet Corn at the Shibuya bus station in a half hour, get some lunch and your challenge will be up until then."

"Ey! Who made you leader of the GGs, dude?" Corn said, then he looked at me, "Yeah. What he said."

I nod. Seems easy to start off a challenge by the GGs, eh?

Corn smirks and winks at me, "You better be there."

I arch my eyebrows. That dude seem cute. Nice smirk and attitude.

D'oh! Why am I doing this? The Rain don't like the dudes. I smack myself on the forehead...mentally.

All three of them skated out of sight.

I skate to a nearby grocery store, for a drink.

The clerk yells, raising and shaking his broom at me, "Get out of my store with those skates!"

Hmm, so much to choose. Orange, apple, grape, ice tea, ginger-ale...Yeah!

"Chill out, old man." I grab the soda and put some yen on the counter, "Just gettin' a soda pop."

He groans as I skate out of the store and went towards the Shibuya bus terminal. There were little people there so there's more possibility to tag the whole thing. I put away my can of soda and tag on some walls in the lower sections and buses. I sigh and went up a fight of stairs that lead up to a high platform.

Looking around and stare at the clock tower it's 12:32. Two minutes late. I lean on the rail and open my can of soda.

Sip.

Where is he?

Sip.

The hell's keeping him up?

Gulp.

I look around one last time. No Corn. I sigh and slowly skate to the end of the platform.

"Hey, don't leave!" Corn climbed up the stairs.

I turn around, "What kept you so long?"

He skated towards me and leaned on the rail, "You know, as leader of the GGs, I need to..You know."

Riight.

"Besides, I couldn't find you."

Stupid excuse. The stairs were so obvious! Well, it was in a shadowy area...

"Come on, we need to get something to eat. Boogie is waiting for us there." Corn told me as we grinded down the rail.

Who the hell is Boogie?

-12:45-

"Corn, what happened?" Boogie said as she crosses her arms.

"Uh, somebody got something and someone...yeah. Basic." he says as Corn and I sit down with her. "Rain, meet your gangmate-to-be."

I look up from the food to Boogie and gave her a quick wave, "Hey."

Boogie smiled, "What's up, sugar. Ready for the challenge soon?"

Corn smirks, "Don't get hecked up, Boog. This chick here could beat Jazz anyday."

We laugh. I take a glance of Corn and I gotta say, he's a cutie. I seen him around Benten-cho at times. Tagging the roof tops, doing what rudies are supposed to do, yeah?

"So, where are you from?" Boogie asks me, taking a sip of her cola.

I say, "Benten, but originally from the UK." I adjust my headphones.

Corn smirks, "I see."

I smile and glare at him, "Yeah, you can also do many things with your body."

Boogie let out a low chuckle and informs us, "Look, we're supposed be at the HQ now."

"Alright, we're out. Boogie, tell Jazz I got her with me and get ready." He say as we get up.

She nods and left.

Corn skated to the streets and turned around, "C'mon, Rain. You're coming with me."

I shrug and skate towards him. He smiles at me, I smile back. What else can I do? We skate down an alley and tag a few walls before Corn leads me to his gang's headquarters.

"So," He starts, "You know who you're up against?"

"All I know the rudie's name is Jazz." I respond and shrug.

He chuckle a bit and said, "And you think this challenge will be easy, eh?"

I say nothing. What does he mean easy? Being a rudie for almost half my life, everything is easy for me.

We both jump a telephone line and grind on it. Jumping to another electrical line, we push ourselves onto a road. Beside it, there it was. The GG headquarters. Dude, it's so huge. I can literally smile with joy. But-

"Hey you!" A girl's voice came about.

I slouch and turn around.

"I'm Jazz, chick. You ready to get served?" she asks.

Ready for what? There's no downward road to race on or an obsticle course to try out.

I arch my dark eyebrows, "What? Served?"

Jazz laughs, "To dance!"

Dance? What? To get into this gang is to dance?

"Whoa, whoa." I give everyone a awkward face expression. "What do you mean dance, yo?"

Corn stands next to Jazz and smirks, "Being in the GGs is not all about taggin' and racin', chick. Most of us already saw your skills and all. So you wanna be in the crew or what?"

I sigh. I did dance for a couple years way back when. And I do love dance. But in front of a gang? No, dude. I think I'll give it a try.

"Alright, bring it on." I try to sound very competitive even though I don't want to be.

Combo yells, "Come on. We got the radio blastin' already!"

We skated into the place and 'Birthday Cake' is on full blast on the radio. Everyone crowded in the center of the room, surrounding me and Jazz.

-2:15-

Well, I got in. It was easy. Corn was right, I can beat Jazz anyday. It seemed that she 'fractured' her ankle and everyone already agreed for I to be in the gang anyway. This is great and stuff. I feel all...GG-ish. Rain from the GGs. Rain, member of the GGs. The new member of the GGs, Rain. Yep, this feels good. This is the life for me.

Rhyth and Gum showed me their room which I'm staying at. There's a long mirror, my bed is near a window, and a place to put my clothes in, yeah. I guess we're roomies. My part of the walls are so white, maybe later I might tag it up. That's cool. So, we all sit around on the first floor. Chillin', nothin' better to do.

Ten minutes later, Corn sent out Clutch, Beat and Soda to tear up Rokkaku-dai Heights and Cube, Combo, and Yo-Yo to finish off the Hill ( I dunno that hill, heh ). Gum, Rhyth, Boogie, and Jazz went to Shibuya-cho to go to a shopping mall. So, Corn and I chill near the kitchen. I'm leaning against a wall and he's comfortable sitting on his chair, drinking a lemon-lime soda.

"So, all you do is tag around the city?" I brake up the silence.

Corn looks up, "No, we have gang wars and other sorts, y'know. You obviously heard it out of Professor K's mouth, yeah?"

I nod, "I know. But don't you have style or something to represent the gang?"

He smirks, "It's all about the word of mouth."

"Okay." I arch my eyebrow and sit on one of the chairs.

Corn shifted his eyes to mine, "How long you been a rudie?"

"Almost five years." I respond.

He nods in understanding.

Gum, Rhyth, Boogie and Jazz came in the HQ with alot of bags.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Boogie greets to both of us.

Gum gives me three bags and a shoe box and smiles, "Here, we got you alittle something."

Little?! Ha!

"Yeah, it was a bit hard to find your size. Expecially with the pair of sneaks we've got you." Rhyth says sitting down on the couch.

Jazz gives me a smaller bag, "I got you some accessories. You'll like them."

I stumble in the sentence, "Thank you. I-I mean, you d-didn't really have to-"

"Rain, you're in the GGs and we're like familia to ya." Corn winks and goes to the kitchen.

I blush and look down at the shoe box.

Corn tells to the girls, "Did you see the others?"

"Yeah, they'll be coming. The cops are on their behinds now." Gum alerts. "But you should listen to the radio, though."

I go over to the stereo, raise the volume as "I Love Love You" finishes, and leaning against the wall nearby.

"Yeah! This is DJ Professor K, baby! Awesome news for your cute little ears from Jet Set Radio, yo. It seems the GGs teared up almost all of Tokyo-To and it made the other musky gangs mad! And yo, they are after all of yous..Even your new member, Rain. Watch out GGs, you got a turf war comin' for ya!"

Damn. We're in major trouble. I never knew all of the gangs mad...Does he mean Rapid 99, too?

Rhyth has a worried expression on her face as she turns to Corn, "What are we going to do?"

"We'll wait for the others to get in. I already have a plan." He informs us as he crosses his arms.

I just stand here as the others skate in with paint marks on their clothes. Exausted, they drop themselves onto a seat and laugh.

Corn lets them settle down and pay attention to him. "We ain't gonna let them get us, right?"

"Right!" We agree in unison.

"We gonna spray them 'til they're down, yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"We gonna spray their turf like it's our own!"

"Yeah!"

"We gotta let them know who's boss!"

"Yeah!"

"We gotta get Corn some food!"

"Ye- No!!" We laugh.

Corn even cracks a smile. "But seriously, like you heard on Jet Set Radio, we got to defend ourselves. We got to look out for each other, too. If one of the gangs challenge us on Tagger's Tag, we gotta do it. Even if we're alone. We gotta let them know the GGs rule Tokyo, yeah?!"

"YEAH!" We cheer.

I smile and look at Corn. He looks so proud that he has his own gang. All confident and stuff. I look down at my gloved hands, covered with silver paint from noon. I get up and get the bags from the chair and walk towards my room.

"Ey, Rain," Garam calls. "We wanna see you in those, too."

How does he know about my new clothes?

Corn nudges him and laughs, "Take it easy on the noob."

Noob? Who is he callin' noob? Like I told him, I am a rudie for five years. I just ignore and enter my room, and take off my skates. With black and green striped socked feet, I walk towards my bed and place my luggage on them. I look in my first bag and it's filled with shirts. I take them out peice by peice.

The first one is a black button-down collared t-shirt with red patches. Neon green fishnetted sleeves under it. Nice. The second one is a grey sleeveless shirt. Hmm, simple. The third is a fitted tee that has zippers down it. Gravy. The others is a pack of white tees, black tanks, and a red and golden yellow layered shirt. Nice picks, ladies.

I look in the second bag and it was filled with pants. One is black and baggy with pockets big enough to put in more than five cans of paint. Cool. Another is beige and looks skin-tight. Meh-heh. But I need to make the best of it, yeah? Two more was a pair of flared jeans and a white pair of shorts. Awesomes. I look at the third bag and more shirts and pants. Great. I look in the shoebox and my eyes widens. Black adidas with white stripes and laces. The ones I was thought of stealing a week ago! Dude! I look at the little bag that Jazz gave me. Wow, makeup and crap. Nice. I put them away and took a glance at the door.

"See? Nice isn't it?" She states and smiles.

I smile and walk to her. "Yeah, thanks alot!"

"No prob, Rain. You're one of the GGs, now. A GG. You can do anything! We're the most famous good and bad."

I laugh and nod. "You're right. I can't believe it neither."

"We were trying to get you for weeks, too." Gum's eyebrows arch.

"What? I was trying to get your attention, also." I cross my arms.

"Well, you did it, chick." She laughs and goes to my door. "You should've seen Corn when he saw you."

I blink as she takes something from her bed and walks away. Corn liking me? I'm not stick skinny like the other girls. I'm not attractive as them neither. I sigh and blush again. Taking off my headphones, I shake my short brown hair in front of the mirror. I look at the mirror. Hey, Rain, what's up? I stick out my tongue and walk away to the window. Not much outside except the fact that the GG's graffiti is all over. Going over to my clothes drawer, I place a envelope on the top and got a green can of paint and look at my white wall. Half hour later my wall has my tag in black, green, and silver with a picture of me cartoon-ish. It's awesome.

"Yo, yo!" I heard Yo-Yo's voice from my door. "Ain't you comin' out with us?"

"Huh?" I look up and put a strand of my hair behind my ear. "I didn't hear Corn say anything about going out."

"Well, Rhyth and I wanted you to come with us to get some pizzas for the crew. You in?" The green haired dude smiles.

"I'll be out in a couple of minutes." I take my skates and put them on.

Yo-Yo gave me a peace sign and left. I put some cans of paint in my pockets in case one of the other gangs challenge me. I insert my hands into my pockets and leave my room. Everyone was chillin' around the stereo. Soda waves at me as he's grooving with a pair of headphones. Suddenly, Rhyth took my arm and drags me over where Yo-Yo and Corn are at.

"Alright then, order three pizza pies. One pepperoni, one plain and one supreme." Corn points out to us and gave Yo-Yo some yen. "Don't do anything stupid."

We leave and head over to Dogenzaka Street were the parlor is. Yo-Yo told me to wait outside for them. Leaving me out in public...Meh. Rhyth and Yo-Yo got the three pies and sodas twenty minutes later. They use their booster dashes to get down the street and mine stop in the middle all of the sudden.

"Hey, wait up!" I yell as I stop and check my skates but they didn't listen and left me. What the hell? Oh man.

I hear other skates skidding and laughter behind me and I turn around. Poison Jam.

"What do you want, Jammies?" I ask.

They laugh again and bang.....ouch?
