The yellow Mazda RX-7 FD roamed the narrow paths of Akagi mountain pass,
roaring with the powers of its engine. Kenta was sitting on the passanger
seat right beside Keisuke, who's on the steering wheel. They headed
downhill towards a restaurant on the feet of the mountain, the place where
some but most of the Redsuns kids gathered. "Dammit… This is boring, I
don't have to do this!" Keisuke cussed while his feet hit the brake pedal
hard, causing the car to halt in all of a sudden.
"Keisuke-san…" Kenta looked at him, at his idol, his role model. He swallowed down his saliva and stared at him with dreamy eyes. I'm sitting in Keisuke-san's car… and on his passenger seat! I'm so happy! This is like a dream…! "I understand, Keisuke-san… You can leave it to me, I'll do my best…"
"No!" He bumped his fist on the dashboard. "It has become my duty now, and I… I can't go back and face Aniki without any result…"
Waaa… Keisuke-san is sooo responsible and so mature!! There's no regret on looking up to him! I knew he had all these characters to be a real 'man'! And then the next thing Keisuke saw is happy tears that flowed down Kenta's cheeks. "Baka yarou… Maa… There's not a second to waste… We gotta move on." And with that the yellow FD dashed into the vacant streets and drifted smoothly in each curves, until they had arrived in the restaurant. Cars, many kinds of brands and colors, types, and old or new, are lined up in the parking lot. Most of them had a RedSuns sticker on the rear side of the body, just between the passanger window and the back one. Some were fully- modified, spoilers, velg, tires, etc, and some were just plain and untouched, just like the way they had bought it on the first place. Keisuke droved the FD to an empty spot and parked the vehicle. Before he completely left to enter the bistro, he made sure that the doors were locked, just to increase the level of the security. Kenta tailed him on his back when they entered the restaurant.
"Minna, I, representing the RedSuns race team, will have something to say." The blonde-haired lad stood on the doorway and started his speech. Every pair of eyes turned towards him. "Will all RedSuns member stand up and follow me down to the parking lot?" A few among the whole visitor stood up and followed Keisuke down to his favorite car. The high-classed drivers gathered around both Keisuke and Kenta, who's leaning upon the trunk of the car. "I have some notice to say, and I bet most of you had already heard of it." Before he continued, the Takahashi took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "The legendary Akina 86's undefeated legend had ended. Yesterday, a man came up to him and beat him down while he was returning from his morning task, delivering tofu. The car brand was Toyota Celica, and it was painted red. The driver is still unknown. Therefore, I wanted all of you to start search around Gunma prefecture to look for the red Celica." One of the men that were surrounding Keisuke raised up his hands. Perhaps he got a few questions in his head. "What is it, Mikoto?"
"Uhh… Ano, Keisuke-san… But what if we finds more than 2 red Celicas? What should we do?" He asked it aloud in a trembling voice. No wonder, the Takahashi brothers were the ones who were most-feared by the street racers around the prefectures because of their amazing skills in driving techniques.
Keisuke ran his hand across his spiked hair and sighed. Another hand groped down to his pocket to find his cigarette pack and his lighter. "Well, just try to remember what's their name, and we'll do further researches later on. That's all that we'll do for now. Got that? Now start searching, it's still 11 am in the morning right now, and I want you all to give us the result on the next dawn. Understand? We'll meet here again until then."
"Affirmative!" And they rushed off to their own cars. At last it's over, Keisuke lit his cigar and breathed it in. "Affirmative? What do they think I am? A sergeant of US military?"
"Uh… Keisuke-san, what should we do now, then?" Kenta drew nearer to his senior and asked him softly, since he knew that he's quite feeling depressed with this nonsense task.
"What do you think," he answered bitterly. "We have to start searching too… After all we're still one of Redsuns even though our level is higher…"
"Oh… I see…" Aaaaaa! Keisuke-san! He's a democratic too! He didn't look down upon others, even though he's better than them! What a guy! He's fabulous! I wanna be just like him… !!!!! "Well then shall we start searching?"
Keisuke grinned sheepishly. "I see you're full-spirited, Kenta… So why don't you drive us?"
"Uh… In your FD, Keisuke-san?" He asked and seemed to be unsure. Well Kenta knows better than touching his FD without his permission.
"No… Nobody can touch my FD… Use your S14, Kenta, don't be stupid…"
"Demo, my car is back there at your residence…"
Keisuke snorts and leaned his head back lazily. "Shit," he cursed to himself. "Well, is there any Redsuns kid behind?"
Kenta turned his head around to look for a familiar figure in the team. Fortunately, he spotted a short guy wearing blue cap and gray jumper. Yes, he is another member of the Redsuns. "I found Satoshi…"
"Get him… and tell him that Keisuke Takahashi's gonna borrow his car for a day…"
What? He's using his status and popularity as an excuse to get a lend of car from someone who has lower position than him. That's rude. No! Keisuke must have something better in his mind. Perhaps he's doing it for our good or something else! Think positive Kenta, Keisuke is not that mean! "Wakatte…" He dashed towards the short guy called Satoshi. Keisuke watched from afar, he smirked as he breathe in the aroma of Camel Lights. It seems that the guy, Satoshi, was shivering when Kenta was looking like threatening him. Well, what could he say, it was useful anyway. Kenta managed to bring back the keys to his car, the all new Honda S2000.
"Hehehe… Lucky!" Keisuke almost jumped in joy. Whoa, riding an S2000, who would've resist. It's known as one of the century's hottest cars of the year. So then the two jumped into the car and drive away from the bistro.
"Where are we heading to, Keisuke-san?"
"I don't know… Just drive to wherever you will go… I wanna go to sleep… I watched too much of soccer leagues last night…"
Kenta rolled his eyes and surrendered. He insisted to follow his orders and drive to the places that crossed his mind. After driving for a while, Kenta founds out that Keisuke was deep asleep beside him, and his cheek was rested on his right shoulder, making his head facing his way. Kenta almost blushed in the sight. He admitted that Keisuke looks awfully good whether he's awake or asleep. Who can say? Girls all over the prefecture drool for him, both his driving technique and his good-looks. Kusso, I better stop looking at him and watch the road ahead of me. But I can't resist his charming face… Just then when he turned his face to his front, his eyes recognized a distinguished vehicle, painted in red. Could it be? Could it be that red Celica? And the next thing he knew was that a deep crimson colored Toyota Celica had passed him by. "…red celica! Keisuke-san!!"
"Keisuke-san…" Kenta looked at him, at his idol, his role model. He swallowed down his saliva and stared at him with dreamy eyes. I'm sitting in Keisuke-san's car… and on his passenger seat! I'm so happy! This is like a dream…! "I understand, Keisuke-san… You can leave it to me, I'll do my best…"
