A smile stretched from the petite girl's face. She hadn't had this much fun since … well in a very long time. It was strange how a certain Takahashi made her feel this giddy. She took a deep breath inhaling the fresh spring air. There wasn't anything that could ruin her day at this point even if she was standing there by the gas tank pumping the thick odorous liquid into a rather obnoxious customer's car.

The thought of drifting beside K.T's FD in sync was an amazing thing although they were both racing it felt very much as if they were moving as one. But why was she blushing? She took in another deep breath slowly releasing it trying to calm herself down.

"This'll pass," she told herself waving good bye to the drooling customer who was checking her out.

"What will pass?" a random voice broke her train of thought.

Akira felt a gust of wind fly by her dancing to the heavy speeding beat of her heart. Feeling as if god had condemned her, her day was no longer any where near to being perfect anymore. There stood a stunning young man that would put any female in a trance. This handsome young man whose appearance that could easily match up to the Takahashi brother's stood beside a black and white Levin, eyes piercing hers through the depths of her soul.

"What are you doing here, Wataru?" she asked solemnly.

K.T ran down the stairs of his massive house while the door bell rang one more time. Water dripped from his soaking blond hair agitated that there was a visitor while he was in the shower. Getting ready to give the person a piece of his mind, K.T swung the door open and his eyes flew open, mouth closing shut.

"…Hey," Kyoko of the Northwest Saitama Alliance said softly blushing.

"I'm just dropping by, didn't really expect you to be working here," Wataru noticed her hard glare, "relax, Kasumi wanted to come back and visit. I'm not here for anything else."

"…Tell Kasumi I said hi and that she should come visit me," Akira turned her back on the young Levin driver.

"Sure. …By the way, congrats in becoming a member of Project D," he said opening his car door.

"Thanks…" Akira tried really hard again to leave before he would say anything but much to her dismay his rough hand lightly reached for her wrist. Staring into his soft sad eyes she brought her arm down turning slowly to him.

"I'm going to be here for a week, if you aren't busy come by the hotel or even at Family's sometime today. It would be nice to catch up with you," he shot her a small smile.

"Wataru, I know you aren't here just because Kasumi-chan says she wants to come back."

"I see, …well you seem to know me very well."

"Sadly I do."

"Kira-chan –

"Don't call me that …you don't have the right to call me that now."

The 86 driver frowned, "Please, come back to me," he stated rather than asked.

"I thought so," she said turning around, "you haven't changed one bit."

"But –

"Don't tell me you did, Wataru I want out! I don't want anything to do with you."

"I know I was wrong but I can fix it."

"No! You said that last time but you didn't," her eyes began to water, "I'm moving on. Can't you see that? No matter how many times you keep coming back, we'll never be together again. I'm sorry to say this but Wataru, we're over," the tearful FD driver wiped her tears giving him his change listlessly before walking back in the store of the gas station.

Wataru hung his head low going into his Levin. His eyes stared blankly at the bouquet of roses sitting beside him. He drew in a breath.

K.T handed the brunette a glass of orange juice before taking a seat across from her. Together they both sat there silently. Kyoko pulled the hem of her skirt, "Um, actually NSA is here and we'll be staying for a week…yeah," she blushed from her awkward outburst.

"Another race?" K.T asked casually pulling out a cigarette.

"Yeah."

Once again there was silence until K.T's phone went off. He sent her an apologetic look and she simply nodded. There she sat alone in his living room. She was a little thankful that his phone went off. She needed to get herself together. It's been a while since she's last spoken to K.T and being around him doesn't help at all especially while he was dripping wet.

She stood up and stretched her legs, "Relax Kyoko, it's just K.T" but everyone knows that she couldn't relax when he's around. Feeling that she was calm and composed Kyoko sat back down when K.T came back dressed in jeans and a plain black shirt.

She noticed that he had some sort of worried expression, "Hey I'm really sorry for doing this but we have to go."

"We? Why?" she asked starting to become afraid.

"Something is going on at the gas station where Tak works and apparently there's a fight between Wataru and Kenta."

"What?!" Kyoko and K.T ran to their FD and headed straight to the gas station dodging cars left and right and speeding here and there.

At that moment two FDs pulled into the parking lot of the station. K.T ran out the car and pulled Akira back away from the two men engaged in a fist fight.

"What's going on?" he asked her but the girl in his arms fought him back to go at the two men. Her body shook from his grip, "Kenta leave him alone!"

"No, this idiot needs to learn how to properly treat a girl."

"But Kenta, I'm fine, see no scratches now leave him alone."

"Fine, but if you ever hurt Akira again I'll kill you," Kenta backed away glaring at Wataru before standing beside Akira.

"Wataru …just …just go okay?" Akira said turning away while K.T led her inside the store.

Kyoko looked from K.T to Akira feeling a little jealous of her, but she shrugged it off reminding herself that now wasn't the time to be having such thoughts at the same time she needed to get her team mate Wataru out of this mess.

Wataru stared at Akira and his former opponent, K.T. He eyed the blond FD driver in particular, before silently making his way back into his 86 and driving off trying to comprehend the situation that had just recently occurred.

Kyoko quickly apologized to everyone before following Wataru when her gaze shifted to the other two FD drivers. A slight hint of jealousy emanated from within her seeing K.T comfort the girl she had never met before.

Not long after Akira's boss and Iketani managed to persuade Akira to end her shift early, considering the unexpected events that had occurred affected her greatly. Whether she said she was fine or not, she really didn't have much of a say. The crew had kicked her out for her stubbornness and was left there standing beside a quizzical K.T.

A long emphasized sigh escaped her lips as she marched up to her RX-7, started the ignition, and simply drove off.

Akira accelerated faster switching gears in god speed. Her tires screeched an unearthly noise, leaving imprints of burnt rubber on the tarmac road. Just to be safe K.T followed suit seeing her enter an abandoned parking lot. His eyes directed toward the ring of tire skid marks that lay tattooed onto the hard surface of the ground. His eyes shifted to the tearful female.

This must be where she would go to vent all her unwanted emotions. Judging from the old worn tire marks she must have perfected her drifting skills here since she was now drifting doing a donut all around the orange cones that sat spread out from each other.

No wonder Akira was such an excellent drifter, driving 24/7 even when she was upset would obviously improve her skills. It truly amazed K.T how well the Fujiwaras can drive. Each one of them are geniuses in their own way.

Bunta, the legendary street racer of Akina; the one who started it all. Takumi the Phantom 86 specialist who was able to control a highly complex FR, making other car fanatics stop and stare at the white Trueno beast.

And finally Fujiwara Akira, the only female he's ever met that could drift uphill and downhill without so much of a break of sweat no matter what the weather conditions were or how unstable the road was. To top it off her amazing skills are used in the best FR car he ever believed was made.

Although the color of his car is much more pleasing than her flaming red Efini; K.T couldn't believe such a family of racer's exist. Just watching her right now performing and completing perfect 8's and 360's with style gave him the urge to join her.

K.T peeled off following her lead swinging the back of his FD, releasing the clutch. The rhythm of screeches with the 'follow the leader' game they had established with one another complimented both drivers creating a new sort of bonding each other.

Quickly Akira's depression faded away and was now replaced with enthusiasm and laughter like a little kid opening a birthday present. The FD duo continued doing this for a few more minutes until her anger completely dissipated.

"Hey," K.T said rolling down his window, "Come follow me," he said driving away not really giving her a say in this.

Together they drove away until they reached a plaza. Akira stared at K.T skeptically.

"What are we doing here?" she asked.

"I just remembered that I needed to buy something," he said.

"Oh, okay."

Stores, stores, and more stores is all they went into and K.t has yet to have bought what he needed to buy. Finally after much walking around, Akira declared that she had an important meeting to attend to with the facilities, and K.T announced that he needed to go as well.

As soon as Akira went in to the women's bathroom, K.T jet away from the bathrooms and dashed straight into a store. K.T hastily paid for whatever he needed and ran back to where the bathrooms were.

Akira stood leaning against the wall sighing sadly when a small teddy bear flew to her face, "Now what's a pretty girl like you standing here alone looking sad for?"

Her eyes widen, and then she smiled knowing exactly who was standing behind her, "Well, I was waiting for this guy and he's not here."

"Oh, maybe he's just taking his time," the bear moved.

"Maybe…"

"If you want I will keep you company."

"I don't know, if he comes back and sees me with a bear he'll start thinking that I ran off somewhere."

"It's okay, he wouldn't mind … oh I think I see him coming. I should get going then. Bye-bye pretty girl," K.T said walking into her view with a smile. He gently handed her the bear.

She laughed, "No wonder you took so long. At first I thought you were taking a dump but then I thought you ditched me."

"No…I'm glad you like the bear."

She grinned, "He's cute," she gushed, "like you –

Both of them froze on the spot. Akira blushed a deep shade of red. She couldn't believe she just said that. As for K.T., well he just simply looked away blushing as well. She quickly slapped herself mentally trying to make it seem like what just slipped from her mouth wasn't a big deal.

"Hmmm…but he reminds me of someone," trying very hard to draw both their attentions away from her last statement.

K.T lifted his eyebrows.

"I'll call him mini K.T" she laughed out loud giggling at his expression, "Anyways, we should go look for that thing you needed to buy."

"There's no need, I already got it while you were in the bathroom."

"Oh…"

"Let's get some ice cream though," he said blushing for no reason.

"Sure."

It wasn't long till they both sat there eating ice cream in silence. It wasn't the awkward type of silence, more like peaceful and serene. But, K.T noticed that Akira slowly returned to her depression. Then he turned red like a tomato, thinking about what she said about him being cute.

"You know, there are better guys out there for you," he whispered, heart pounding fast.

Her head shot up.

"Like who?" she licked her ice cream.

"I don't know, but you know," he paused avoiding her gaze, "if you want you could always talk to me…I promise I will listen," he said voice speaking low.

"You know if you weren't K.T I would go out with you," she teased despite her depressed expression displayed on her pale features.

"Hey!"

She then laughed pushing the depression away, "Just kidding, but – it's not that I'm hung up on Wataru, it's just, I wish he would just move on. I mean cmon' I left already doesn't he get the picture?"

"What happened exactly?" K.T asked, "I mean you don't have to tell me. I just wanted to know that's all."

"We used to date back when I lived in Tokyo. But, he just kept pushing me away. Part of it was my fault. He didn't know that I could drift and when he found out he just started getting competitive. After that it led to him seeing a different girl who didn't drive at all and was much prettier than me. Eventually I walked in on them and that was that," Akira took one last lick of her ice cream before shoving it in her mouth and squealed in delight.

If anything could cheer her up it was driving and ice cream. But underneath that smile and laugh was a girl who was still hurt from that and K.T could see it no matter how well she hid it.

Akira stared at K.T surprised, he absent mindedly held her hand across the table before saying, "Not all men are jerks. Wataru is an asshole for what he did to you but I promise you that I'm different and that you can always depend on me. I will treat you better than he ever could."

Akira continued to stare at him before smiling, "You know you sound like you want to go out with me."

After going through so much in less than a whole month, it's really not surprising how high the level of chemistry the both of them had between them from K.T to Akira.

"You're right," K.T said "Akira, will you be my girlfriend?" he spoke letting words roll out from his tongue without so much of a thought on anything.

She sat there gazing at him completely blown away from this world. As for K.T, well he was actually being serious, which was why this is such a big deal. They've only known each other for about two to three weeks or so and right now both of them couldn't really believe what was happening.

Inside K.T smacked himself mentally thinking what the hell. He couldn't be in a relationship right now. He needed to focus on beating Tak. But then he looked at Akira and everything just changed. If he was Wataru he would be proud of her not go against her. He's a bastard but K.T knew that he would be better for her if Akira went out with him. He didn't know what possessed him to be so out of character but he guessed it was because she made him act like this whenever she was around.

He sat still holding her hand waiting for a response when he saw her lips move, "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend," she said smiling while the color pink painted her cheeks.
