XXXXXXChapter TwoXXXXXXX
A young man climbed out of the window of his crumbled Mercedes Benz. He rubbed his shoulder where the seatbelt he was wearing had caught him. As his golden eyes ran over his car, he immediately knew that it wouldn't ever be drivable again. He then looked over the car that had destroyed his and saw that it was in far worse condition than his.
The paint on the sides was scraped off and there were dents all over the vehicle. As he continued looking over the crippled Mitsubishi, he saw that the driver was a young woman, a few years younger than himself. He brushed his long white hair out of his face as he took a few steps closer to the Eclipse before he heard some sirens in the distance. He thought about what to do for a few moments before he ripped the car's door open and wrenched the young woman out of her seat.

Kagura awoke with a bit of a startle, a large pain surging through her skull. "Where the hell am I?" the ruby eyed woman questioned, putting a hand to her head as she sat up.
"In my garage," a masculine voice said from somewhere deeper in the building. The black haired woman quickly looked around, taking in her surroundings. It seemed like a reasonable sized garage with the first floor mainly open to work on cars or other vehicles. Kagura then looked up to see that there was a small landing built along the steel beams that made up part of the rafters.
There was a young man standing on the landing wearing a tight shirt showing his muscular torso along with a pair of slightly baggy jeans.
"Just who are you?" the young woman inquired as she made sure she was fully dressed. "And why the hell am I here?"
"You are here because you totaled my five hundred thousand dollar car," the white hired man stated without emotion. He slowly walked down a spiral staircase and over to Kagura's side. "And seeing as you're going to be racing for me until you pay off the cost of my new car, I assume it would be appropriate to know my name, wouldn't it?"
"Who the fuck said I would race for anyone, let alone a pompous ass like your self?" she snarled, jumping out of bed and nearly falling over in the process. "I just got away from being a slave from my asshole father! Why would I want to race for you!"
"Because you have no car, no money, and if you don't race for me I'll call the cops and turn you in," the golden eyed man replied swiftly as he looked at the woman in front of him. She seemed to be contemplating her options.
After a few moments Kagura heaved a sigh and surrendered herself to what she would have to do. 'Racing for this bastard is better than jail," she growled, shaking her still throbbing head. "So, what exactly is your name?"
"Sesshomaru," he answered blankly as he held out his hand. "And yours?"
"Kagura," she returned, shaking his hand. "So, where's my car?" The white haired man merely turned around and motioned for her to follow him. She let out a sigh and followed him through the garage and out the back door, her car sitting beside the building, the front end crunched up like an accordion.
The young woman let out a sigh as she walked around to the passenger side of the car and picked up a large stone that was sitting next to the wheel of the tire. "I already grabbed your bag from it when I had it towed here," Sesshomaru affirmed as his words fell on deaf ears.
Kagura raised the rock in the air and smashed out the passenger side window, making sure to clear a large section from the frame. She then crawled into the opening and reached down, pulling up the passenger side seat revealing a hidden compartment. After a few more moments, the black haired woman pulled herself out of the opening holding a small briefcase.
"Just what is that?" the golden eyed man inquired as he looked at the case.
"About ten thousand dollars cash," Kagura stated blatantly as she walked back inside.
"That won't get you a car."
"Well it's a fucking start. And I can get a car; it'll just be used."
"I've already arranged for you to get a car."
"Why did you do that?" Kagura asked leering at the man.
"You didn't look like you had any money on you," he responded in a deadpan voice. "And you can't pay me back if you don't race."
Before the raven haired woman could respond, the garage door opened and a beaten '95 Dodge Neon pulled into the garage. The paint was faded, and in some areas worn away. There were several dents along the body of the car along with a cracked rear bumper.
The young woman stood speechless as she stared at the jalopy of a car. She stared at the vehicle a few more moments before turning to Sesshomaru, who had just finished talking to the man who had delivered the car, and shouted "What the fuck do you expect me to do with a hunk of crap like that!" As she yelled, Kagura pointed to the car behind her.
Sesshoumaru ignored the woman's words and walked past her and opened the hood of the car. "Look," the golden eyed man spoke flatly. The ruby eyed woman huffed and walked over to the car, immediately taking back the 'hunk of crap' comment.
The engine of the car had been modified with high grade performance parts and, beneath the fine layer of dust, Kagura could make out a Turbo air intake system. The young woman also made out a series of cables and tubes that lead towards the rear of the car, hooking up to what Kagura knew was a Nitrous Oxide system.
"Ok it's not a total POS," she huffed, crossing her arms across her chest. "But it'll still need work."
"That's why you have that ten grand, isn't it?" the white haired man taunted, his face still deadpan as he closed the hood. He then casually tossed Kagura the keys to the car and headed for the passenger side of the car. "You drive," he told her as he entered the car and closed the door once he was seated.
Kagura let out a huff as she picked up the case that held her money and entered the driver's seat after she seemingly attempted to rip the door off of its hinges. She then tossed the case into the back of seat of the car and jammed the key into the ignition. As the young woman turned the key, the car roared to life. The ruby eyed woman jammed the car into Reverse and pulled it out of the garage, whipping into the street before shifting the car into Drive and flying down the road.
"So where to?" Kagura asked as she drove along the road, weaving in and out of the afternoon traffic. "I'm new to the city so you're gonna have to tell me where to turn and everything."
"We're headed to a race," the young man replied as he motioned for her to take the next right. He jerked to the side a bit as she whipped around the corner, drifting a bit. "And if you lose you're going to lose that ten grand of yours."
Immediately, the young woman slammed on the breaks as she stopped dead in the middle of a busy road. "And why the hell would I lose it?"
"Because I got you the car," he rejoined, looking at the woman in the driver seat. She glared at him for a few moments before driving off again.
"And what do you get out of this race then, huh?" Kagura snapped as she whipped around another bend, nearly running another car off the road.
"Ten grand towards my replacement car," he growled as she whipped around another bend, unnecessarily fast. "Any reason you're driving like a mad woman?"
"If you want me to race then shut your mouth," Kagura growled back as she narrowly avoided another car and floored the gas peddle, causing the car to accelerate roughly.

Kagura slowly approached the starting line of the race, seeing that three other cars were apparently waiting for her. Before she could pull the full way up, Sesshomaru spoke up and told her to stop.
"And just what does his lordship want to do?" Kagura taunted as she slowed to a stop. "Afraid of racing with little ol' me?"
"I have to buy you into the race and make a few bets," the golden eyed man responded as he grabbed the case of money and exited the car, nearly slamming the door shut. Kagura growled as she pulled up to the line.
As she glanced around, the young woman saw Sesshomaru hand a woman on the side of the street a large amount of money. The woman couldn't have been much older than Kagura and had short black hair. She wore a low cut shirt and a mini skirt along with open toed heels and stockings. Kagura watched as the woman tucked the money away and ran into the front of the line of cars.
Kagura took in a breath and held it for a few moments before exhaling. She looked out the windshield of her car and revved her engine as she gripped the steering wheel so tight that her knuckles turned white. She revved her car again as the short haired chick raised both hands and held them for a moment.
It was at that moment that Kagura realized she was missing some very important information, what kind of race this was! She quickly looked around for some kind of tell to what it was and saw the flares that signaled the finish line in the distance. 'Great, a stinking drag race,' the red eyed woman thought bitterly as she ran the engine at about five thousand RPMs, give or take the ideal launch of most cars.
As she threw her arms down, Kagura let off the brake and flew off the start line. As the car shifted through its gears, she watched the speedometer crawl up to 70 mph. Quickly, she hit the semi-hidden Nitrous button, which caused her car to quickly accelerate up to about 100 mph. She let off the Nitrous as she neared the finish line.
She saw had almost completely forgotten about the other cars until one of them pulled right up beside her. It was quickly bridging the gap, obviously going faster than she was. Deciding that she wasn't going to lose this race, the red eyed woman slammed the Nitrous button again, causing her car to accelerate again almost uncontrollably as her car barely crossed the finish line before it swerved out of control and headed straight for a wall.
