Burnout: Revenge Chapter 9.
A/N Mint Aero Rocks every other bar out there, no discussion!
InuYasha sped down the highway, Ayame in the back seat, munching on a Mint Aero bar. InuYasha changed lanes and passed a Volkswagon wide open, at 93 MPH.
"Hey InuYasha?" Ayame asked, leaning forward. "Yeah?" InuYasha said, returning his seat to it's upright position.
"Why do you suppose everyone here is driving like, thirty miles an hour under the speed limit?" she asked. "And the speed limit is only 80 MPH?"
InuYasha laughed as he passed another rust bucket on the road.
"I don't know, maybe it's the weather." InuYasha said, as he cranked up the heater. Outside, the temperature was -34, -40 with the wind chill. The wind was blowing snow across the highway, obscuring the yellow line and hiding the shoulder where the highway dropped off about 4 inches into frozen dirt and snow. InuYasha noticed this almost too late, and slowed down to about 60 MPH, still faster than any other car on the road, and was worried by the sound of snow scraping against the undercarriage of his car. InuYasha squinted out his windshield as a gust of wind blew a drift of snow across the road and into his windshield. InuYasha grumbled as his visibility was cut down by a few hundred feet, but he still tore through the early morning, driving hard.
InuYasha leaned forward as a particularly strong gust shoved his light car sideways, into the oncoming lane, but he didn't notice because the road was obscured by snow drifts, making manuveurability difficult. Suddenly, a pair of headlights pierced through the snow, heading right for the McLaren F1. InuYasha turned hard, swerving around the car and back into his own lane. As he went to straighten the wheel, he hit a patch of black ice, and the car spun to the right, careening off his side of the road into a snow drift. InuYasha waited until his car had completely stopped, before engaging reverse. As he floored the accelerator, he knew he had no hope in hell, for his racing slick tires couldn't grip anything except the dryest of asphalt and cement. InuYasha swore and shut his car off, groaning. From behind him, he heard a giggle.
He turned, and looked at Ayame. "What is so funny about this?" He asked, only half angrily, for looking at Ayame's beautiful face always calmed him down. She leaned forward and kissd him on the mouth, making him blush. She giggled.
"After all this time, and a simple kiss can still make you blush." She said. "Thats sweet."
InuYasha, his anger gone now, started the car, and zipped up his wind breaker. He opened the door, and got out before leaning back in.
"I'm gonna try pushing it out, you get in the drivers seat and see if you can help by slowly reversing it." He said, half yelling to be heard over the wind. Ayame nodded.
"Alright, I gotcha, now shut the door, it's freezing in here!" InuYasha grinned, slammed the door, and walked over to the front of the car, immediately sinking down to his knees in the ice cold snow.
"Shit!" He complained as the snow melted into water and got all into his shoes and soaked his pants. He placed his hands on the hood of the car and pushed, immediately sinking down to his waist. The engine revved and the tires spun, but the car was going nowhere. InuYasha turned his head to the side as the snow and ice whipped him in the face. He pushed as hard as he could, the revving of the engine loud in his ears, and felt the car move a few inches, before InuYasha had to stop. As soon as he stopped, the car slid back down, the bumper almost touching InuYasha's stomach. InuYasha grimaced as the wind blew right through his wind breaker and his hands started to go numb. He dragged himself out of the snowbank as a few cars whipped by him on the highway. He cursed them for not stopping, but reconsidered and figured that if his position were reversed, he wouldn"t stop either.
'Whatever,' InuYasha thought. 'What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger.' Suddenly, a loud, deep sound reached his ears above the howling wind. Out of the blowing snow, a monster of a pick-up truck was barreling toward them, slowing down. InuYasha watched as this monstrous vehicle passed him and pulled off the road, stopping and reversing toward them. The truck stopped and InuYasha couldn't believe his eyes. Whereas he towered over the roof of his McLaren F1, InuYasha's chest was barely level with the running board of this huge truck, and the door handle was positioned at head height. InuYasha glanced at the body of the truck and was amused to see that the rear wheels were tandem, meaning that there were four wheels for the rear axle, two on each side, while the front axle had the normal two wheels. The truck produced a weird sound, and InuYasha identified it as a diesel. Just then, the driver side door opened, and a guy jumped out, his boots slamming onto the snow. The guy flicked his long waist length black hiared pontail over his shoulder, and walked over to InuYasha, holding his hand out, a grin on his face.
"Hi!" The guy said, and InuYasha warily shook his hand.
"I'm Bankotsu, and you are...?"
"InuYasha." He said, dropping the mans hand. Bankotsu looked at the car and laughed.
"Seems your in a bit of a situation! Want a bit of help?"
InuYasha grimaced, swallowed his pride, and nodded.
"Sure." He said. Bankotsu walked over to the car, and looked under the rear bumper, running his hand under it. A few seconds later, his face broke into a smile, and his deep blue eyes shone.
"Alright!" He said, getting up. "I can help you, follow me!"
InuYasha nodded, and held up his hand.
"Just a sec, alright?" He asked. Bankotsu nodded and walked over to his truck, while InuYasha went over to the driver side door and opened it.
Ayame looked at him and smiled. "Whose that good looking guy out there?" She asked, making InuYasha growl. She slapped his shoulder to show she was kidding.
"His names Bankotsu and he's gonna help us out." He said. "Are you gonna stay in here, or come out with us?"
Ayame shivered as a gust of wind blew right into the car.
"No thanks, it's all right, it's too cold out!"
InuYasha shut the door, and walked over to a grinning Bankotsu. Bankotsu threw a rig and chain at him, and InuYasha understood. He ran one end of the chain through the eyelets on the underside of the truck, and snugged it with the coupling. He ran the other end through the eyelet attached to the frame of his car under the bumper, and tightened that one too. Bankotsu did the same on the right side of the truck and car, until the truck was firmly hooked to the car. Bankotsu got into his truck, and backed it into position, so that when he pulled the car out, it would come out straight, not crooked. Bankotsu revved the engine, looked both ways for oncoming traffic, before slamming the gas. His rear wheels spun a bit, and Bankotsu let off the acceleration a bit, and the truck settled down, pulling out onto the highway, the car sliding out behind it. Bankotsu engaged the park, and jumped out, never minding that his truck was blocking two lanes of traffic. InuYasha and Bankotsu unhooked the chains and threw them in the back of the truck, before reaching in and withdrawing a windshield de-icing blade. He handed it to InuYasha and recieved a blank look in return.
"Whats this thing for?" InuYasha asked, and Bankotsu laughed. He walked over to the car and showed InuYasha how to scrape off the ice that was building up around the edges of his windshield. InuYasha nodded, and took the brush from him.
Just then a car pulled up and stopped, waiting for the truck to move. As Bankotsu kept talking to InuYasha, InuYasha kept glancing over his shoulder to the waiting car.
"Aren't you gonna move? Those people are waiting to go by." InuYasha said. Bankotsu waved to the people, and turned around to face InuYasha.
"Yeah, I'll move, don't worry about it." Bankotsu said. He reached out again, and InuYasha took his hand, shaking it.
Bankotsu walked over to the truck, and opened his door.
"See you later, InuYasha!" He said, waving over his shoulder. InuYasha waved, and walked over to his car, and got in, slamming the door. Bankotsu revved his engine, and turned down the highway, picking up speed. InuYasha slowly drove to the shoulder of the road, and let the other cars pass, careful to not get stuck again.
InuYasha looked over at Ayame, and grinned.
"What?" She asked. InuYasha shook his head, and made a 'come here' motion. She leaned forward and InuYasha put his arms around her, hugging her. She hugged him back, but gasped as he shoved his ice cold hands up her shirt. She yelped, and tried to break free, but InuYasha held her tight, pressing his cold hands against her body, laughing as he did so. Ayame half laughed, half cried out, and groaned, as his hands slowly warmed up against her hot skin. A few minutes later, InuYasha pulled away, grinning.
"Thanks, babe." He said, recieving a gentle slap across the head for his trick. He upshifted, and pulled out onto the road, accelerating hard and throwing snow up behind him, sliding to the right slightly. He corrected his skid, and sped up, chasing after the pick-up truck, not really sure why, except that it was going in his direction, so, why not. InuYasha thought about the race that he had lost to Kouga, and figured that he could learn a lot about his driving style, and improve a lot, maybe even enough to beat that damn wolf. InuYasha hung a corner, and instinctively went into a drift.
He wasn't going fast enough to drift, and all he did was slide sideways a bit, collecting snow under his low car until he was stopped by the buildup, his wheels spinning uselessly. He reversed out of it, and kept on going, heading into the next corner with a bit more speed.
He tried to set up his drift line again, and this time held the drift for a few seconds, before slipping sideways, and not making it around the corner. He kept on driving, trying to think of a way to drift in this type of weather.
InuYasha eventually caught up to the truck, and pulled alongside it, honking his horn. InuYasha saw Bankotsu look down at their car, and grin. InuYasha slowed, pulled in behind him, and flashed his lights a few times. Just then it occured to InuYasha how much stress the roads were putting on his engine, for the revs were always high, but they were never going fast, as if the car had to work extra hard just to plow through the snow that everyone else seemed to be going over.
Up ahead, Bankotsu flicked on his right blinker, and slowed. InuYasha followed suit, and they turned off the highway into a Tim Hortons. InuYasha shut off the car, and shook Ayame, who had fallen asleep in the warmth of the car again.
"Hey, Ayame." He said, putting his hand on her shoulder, shaking it gently. She didn't wake up, her breathing stayed light. InuYasha groaned, then got an idea. He leaned down and kissed her on the mouth, slowly, and softly. A few seconds later, she reacted, moaning gently and opening her mouth. InuYasha inserted his tongue into her mouth, deepening the kiss. Another moan escaped her throat, and her eyes fluttered open. She reached up, and stroked the side of InuYasha's face. She returned the kiss, thrusting her tongue into his mouth, sliding around his tongue, before slowly breaking the kiss. She grinned up at InuYasha, and sat up. InuYasha moved, and let Ayame out, taking her by the hand, and leading her toward the Tim Hortons. Once inside, he looked around, his eyes searching for the table that Bankotsu had sat at, finding it close to the back. InuYasha walked with his hand gripping Ayame's, still half leading her, for she was still half asleep. As her head touched his shoulder, he thought briefly that she was like a tired child who couldn't keep her eyes open. He sat her down at the table, and asked what she wanted, letting her introduce herself to him.
"Just a coffee, thanks InuYasha." She said, smiling up at him. InuYasha left her alone with him, and walked up to the counter.
"Hi!" The blonde haired girl behind the counter said. "How may I help you?" She asked, grinning widely at him. InuYasha smiled back, to be polite, and asked for an extra large double-double, and a large double-double, to go. She got them, and passed them to InuYasha, letting her hand brush against his, flirting outrageously. As InuYasha pulled out his wallet, the top flap fell open, revealing the picture of Ayame he kept in there. She frowned, and looked at the picture.
"You still with her?" She asked. InuYasha lookedd at her, withdrawing a 5 dollar bill.
"Yeah, I am. She's in here, as a matter of fact." InuYasha said. He threw the money on the counter, and grabbed the coffee's, turning and leaving the girl behind. InuYasha walked back to the table, and set the large down in front of Ayame. She promptly turned around and swapped her large for InuYasha's extra large, opening it and taking a sip out of it. InuYasha smirked, and sat down next to her.
"So," Bankotsu said. "How's your grip out there on the road?" He asked, taking a gulp of his hot apple cider that he had gotten while InuYasha and Ayame were still outside. InuYasha grinned.
"Could be a hell of a lot better, if you ask me. And with my 3 inch ground clearance, I gotta overwork the engine to go straight through what you can easily go over." InuYasha said. Ayame laughed, and reached below the table to run her hand along InuYasha's leg.
Bankotsu grinned. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but you wouldn't have a nice car like that without knowing how to drift, would you?"
InuYasha's ears perked up, making Ayame giggle.
"Hell yeah, on clear, dry ground." InuYasha said. "I tried to drift a few times in this weather, but if I go too slow, then I my car is stopped by a build-up of snow and slush, because of my low clearance. If I go too fast, then I slip out and can't hold my drift line, and my tires do nothing to protect against the slippage."
Bankotsu nodded and laughed. "I know just the thing to combat what your experiencing, InuYasha. What you need is to experience drifting in this kind of weather with an all wheel drive vehicle."
InuYasha took another sip of his coffee. "All wheel drive, eh? And what kind of advantage does that give you?" He asked, and before Bankotsu could respond, he already knew the advantage.
Bankotsu grinned, and waved to the weather outside. "You know how you said that if you went too fast, then you would slip out on the ice and snow, as opposed to drifting on pure pavement?"
InuYasha nodded.
"Well," Bankotsu said, "Suppose that you had the ground clearance to make it over terrain like this, then what would hold you back?"
"Just my lack of grip." InuYasha said.
"Okay!" Bankotsu exclaimed. "Then, suppose you put some better winter tires on, would you be able to drift?"
"Maybe," InuYasha said, "But it would take some insane skill."
Bankotsu laughed. "Exactly! So why not just have an all wheel drive vehicle, and instead of having all the power coming from behind, pushing you, and pushing you into a spin, why not have that power distributed to all four wheels, and have your front wheels pull you through the turns, instead?"
InuYasha nodded, and swallowed the last of his coffee, sliding his arm around Ayame. "Yeah," He said, "I could see how that would work."
Ayame squeezed her eyes closed and blushed, tucking her head into InuYasha's shoulder as his hand slid down her pants. InuYasha grinned at Bankotsu's confused expression, and raised his eyebrows suggestively. Bankotsu nodded, grinning and laughing. InuYasha moved his hand around, touching her in a few select places, and Ayame could feel her face burning. She pushed her body up closer to InuYasha, trying to hide her blushing face, knowing that it was futile. She gasped as he touched her again, and a small moan escaped her open lips, much to her embarrassment. She licked InuYasha's throat, and kissed him, whispering his name in his ear, begging him to stop, but not really wanting him to, now that she was aroused. InuYasha grinned, loving how he could make her feel so good. He got up, and helped Ayame stand. She immediately clung to his arm, pressing her hips up against him. InuYasha put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him, as she rested her head on his chest. InuYasha shook Bankotsu's hand again, and told him he'd see him later. They exchanged cell phone numbers, and left the place. InuYasha continued on one way, and Bankotsu turned the other way, claiming that he had some business to take care of before he could meet up with them in the next town.
Kane tore through the snow and wind, revving his engine. It was on the edge of quitting, and he prayed that he had enough gas to make it to the next town. In the passenger seat of his yellow Stingray was his kid. He was 8 years old, and had black hair and black eyes, just like his daddy. Kane smiled down at his kid, and thought about the kids mother. She had ditched the kid into the care of Kane as soon as he was born, and left, not looking back, ever. Kane hadn't seen the girl since. Kane loved the kid with all his heart, but didn't think of himself as the appropriate type of father figure for his son. He wanted someone who had a steady, legal job to raise his kid, but decided that he would rather bring the kid up with an illegal means of making money, than not bringing his kid up at all. He hit the clutch, and upshifted, sighing. He was slightly depressed. He was 22 years old, had a kid he could barely raise, plus the fact that he was killing the kid from the inside out. Since he street raced illegally, and in such a violent matter, he was always on the run from the cops, and half the time, he wasn't even sure he would come home alive to his kid. Add that to the fact that since he always ran, he could never keep his kid in a school, so his son couldn't get an education. Kane checked his gas gauge and groaned. The luminescent needle was hovering on E, but he supposed that he should be grateful. The low fuel icon hadn't come on on his dash, indicating that he had less than 5 gallons of gas left. Kane floored the accelerator, and upshifted, passing a car wide open, unable to suppress the need for speed. His kid in the passenger seat giggled and clapped his hands as he looked out the window at the slower car.
"Faster, Daddy, faster!!!" His kid cried out. Kane glanced at him and grinned, taking a turn as fast as he dared with his kid in the car.
"You wanna go faster, do you?" Kane asked. His kid laughed. "Yeah! Faster!"
"Okay, but first, how do you spell faster?" Kane asked. The boy scratched his head. "Umm, F...a...s...t...e...r?" He said, unsure if that was right.
Kane laughed. "Good, thats right!" Kane floored the accelerator, and the revs shot up. The noise inside the car got really loud, and the kid laughed. "Louder!!!" The kid yelled. Kane, grinning now, pushed the accelerator all the way down, letting the needle max out the revs, redlining. Most kids would be scared of the noise, but Kanes son loved it.
"What do I do now, Sasuke?" Kane asked. The small boy clapped his tiny hands again. "Upshift!!" He cried out. Kane smiled. "Great, kid." His foot pushed the clutch in, and he pointed to the shift lever. "Go ahead, Sasuke."
Sasuke smiled up at his dad. "Really, Daddy?" Kane nodded. Sasuke reached for the lever, and pushed it into the last gear, with a bit of difficulty.
"Ready?" Kane asked his son. Sasuke nodded, as Kane released the clutch. Sasuke laughed as the high pitched revving turned into a monster growl that slowly worked its way back up. The pure torque being generated by the clutch being released with the pedal floored pushed them both back into their seats. Just then, a tiny beep could be heard, and an orange light lit up the dashboard. Kane glanced at it and swore.
"Fuck! Umm, I mean, frig." The orange gas icon had lit up, signalling that there was less than 5 gallons on gas in the tank. Kane slowed down, and downshifted rapidly, to conserve what gas he had. He mentally cursed for speeding like that, knowing that the gas he used during that little spurt could probably carry him thrice the distance he could go now. He drove through the snow, desperately hoping for a gas station. Not like I would have much money to buy gas with... He thought grumpily.
suddenly, his gas pedal wasn't responding, and his revs dropped.
"Son of a bitch!!" Kane yelled, slamming his hand down on his steering wheel. He slammed the brakes, and rapidly hit the gas. As the brakes were hit, a tiny bit of gas was thrown forward, and it fell into the gas line, providing a few seconds of acceleration before it cut out again. Kane tried it a few more times, but his engine was dead. No gas. Kane shifted into neutral, and let the car coast as far as it could down the road. Finally, with a dull crunch, the wheels bit into the snow, and stopped.
"Fuck!" Kane swore, not believing his luck. His son curled up in the passenger seat, silent. Kane got out, and slammed the door closed angrily. He went around to the back of the car, and started pushing it. After about ten minutes, Kane started to feel the cold, and felt like giving up. Then he thought about his son, and he pushed harder. A car roared by him on the highway, and didn't bother stopping. Kane, out of anger, gave the receding car the finger, knowing that it was futile. He kept pushing the car, trying to ignore his frozen limbs and the pain in his legs. He stopped, breathing heavily, and let the burning in his arms settle down a bit.
He walked to the driver side of the car, opened it, and staightened the wheel a bit, grinned down at his son. "Don't worry, Sasuke, it's only a bit further to the gas station." He lied. "How about you sit in the driver seat, and while I push the car, you keep it straight, okay?"
Sasuke nodded, and climbed into the driver seat, standing on it to get a good view of the road.
"Good boy." Kane said, before shutting the door. He glanced up at the sky, and realized that it was starting to get dark. He opened the door up, and inserted the keys into the ignition, half turning them. He flicked on his four way flashers, and turned the radio on for his kid.
He walked back to the end of the car, and started pushing again, the cold already starting in on his body again. He placed his hands on the cold metal of the bumper and leaned into it, not getting any reaction for a few seconds. He thought of his kid, and how his wife ditched him, and pushed harder, screaming in anger. The car moved, slowly rolling down the road.
Kane took a deep breath, and dropped onto the ground, shaking from the cold. He leaned against the rear left tire of his car, and stared at the gas pump, a tiny grin breaking out on his face. He got up, and filled his tank to the top, not caring how much it cost, for he never ever wanted to do that again. The total almost made him re-think that though, and he grumbled as he dug $74 out of his pocket. He went inside, paid, and got a coffee and a hot chocolate for his kid. He thanked the guy, and walked out to his car, where his son waited. He got in, gave his son the hot chocolate.
"Guess what, Sasuke?" Kane asked. "What?" Was the chocolate covered reply. "We are officially out of money, except for what I got saved up in the bank, and I really don't wanna touch that."
He started the car, and drove slowly down the driveway leading to the road, stopping to let a few cars pass. As soon as he saw a clear lane, he nailed the gas and tore out of the gas station, tires squealing loudly. He laughed as he continued the rolling burnout all the way up the street. He tried to hold it through the up-shift, but missed his shift point, and the tires regripped, launching them down the street at 132 MPH. He tore down the road, and let out a rebel yell. He grinned, and slowed down to make a corner. Coming out of the corner, he slammed the accelerator, and the front wheels lifted up off the ground, courtesy of the torque. He grinned and twisted the steering wheel left and right, for the wheels were completely off the ground. He let off the gas, to up-shift, and the front end dropped down, the car swerving sharply to the right as Kane straightened out the wheels. He slowed as he came up behind a slower car, and he flicked on the windshield wiper blades, to combat the snow kicked up by the other car. He flicked on the radio and cranked it, switching to a different station. A loud country song came on, and Kane blasted it. Kane revved his engine, and bumped the other car gently, before pulling out around them and speeding by them. In the passenger seat, Sasuke looked out the window, and gave the finger to the slower car, unseen by his father.
InuYasha slowed, and turned into the parking lot, opening his wallet. as he parked, Ayame looked out the front window, and purred seductively.
"I like the look of this place, InuYasha." She said, sliding her arms around his neck, and licking his cheek. InuYasha growled, and turned his head, kissing her on the lips.
"Lets go then, sexy!" He said. He opened the door, and got out, turning to help Ayame out. He shut the door and locked it, walking up to the doors of the fancy hotel. As he walked in, his arm around Ayame, a stewardess came forward from behind the front desk. She walked over to greet them, and addressed Ayame first.
"Hello, miss." She said, not even glancing at InuYasha. InuYasha growled softly, for he thought he knew why. Ayame nodded politely. "Hi." She replied. The stewardess smiled. "What is the intention of your visit to this establishment, miss?" She asked. Ayame cast her a quizzical look. "Uh, to rent a room, maybe. This is a hotel, right?" She asked. "Or did I get this place mixed up with that other great place we saw, just across the street?" The place she was referring to was this hotels greatest competitor, and the stewardess grimaced. "No, your in the right place. And, uh, the dog. We have a 'no pets' policy here, an-"
"I ain't no dog!" InuYasha said harshly. Ayame hugged him a little tighter, and tried to reason with the girl who was only doing her job.
"Hey, why the hell did you just call him a dog?" She asked, softly. There were a few other people loitering in the lobby, but Ayame didn't feel like embarrassing the girl, just yet. The girl got flustered, and her face turned red. "Believe me, I have nothing against him, but the company rules won't allow such a person into their rooms."
"Yeah, well company rules didn't make you call him a dog, you could have just called him a person. Your facing some huge-ass discrimination charges here, so if you don't listen up, I'll have you in big trouble. And I'd like to see where it says this. Now!" She said the last part a bit louder, and the girl swiftly moved back to her desk. She withdrew the company rules and regulations book, and flipped through it, her hands shaking.
"Well, I can't find it right now, you see, but it's in here somewhere, I'm sure..." She trailed off as InuYasha leaned over the desk, slamming his clawed hand down onto the book, his sharp nails going right through the paper. "Thats what I thought. The company ain't got nothing against half-breeds, its just you!" He said. Ayame gripped his arm, and InuYasha backed off.
"We will take our business elsewhere, and believe me, this won't be the last time you hear from us." Ayame said. She walked a few steps away, before turning and pushing her hair aside. "Oh, and for your information, I'm a demon too." She said loudly. "You still want to rent me a room now?" She walked away, her arm around InuYasha's waist, and they left, going out to the car.
Inside, the dozen or so people remaining in the lobby looked at her, and slowly walked out, no longer feeling like renting a room from her. The girl, red faced, sat down low in her chair and stared at her computer screen.
InuYasha started the car, and turned down the drive, cutting right across the road and right up the drive and into the parking lot of the opposite hotel. Inside, he was welcomed a lot nicer, and they got a room immediately.
Inside, Ayame slid out of her shirt, and hugged InuYasha, knowing that he was probably still feeling down about how he had been treated. InuYasha blushed, and raised his head, to look at his lover. She slid his shirt off him, and slid her hand down his smooth chest. She kissed him on the lips, and ran her fingers through his hair, massaging his doggy ears. His eyes slid closed, and a tiny moan escaped his parted lips. She giggled, and InuYasha's face turned red. He opened his eyes, and stared right into Ayame's deep green eyes. He slid his arms around her waist, and pulled her close to him. She rested her head on his shoulder, and breathed in his deep scent. InuYasha laid his head down by her slender neck, and whispered her name. He licked her throat, and kissed the spot he licked, tasting her sweet flesh. Ayame moaned and slid her hands over his toned chest, dipping her head to suck on his collar bone. InuYasha slid his hands down her back, and pulled her gently into him. She moaned as her hips made contact with his body, and a mild blush flooded her face, making InuYasha smirk. InuYasha gently thrust his hips into Ayame's body, and she made contact with his arousal, deepening her blush. InuYasha pushed her down onto the bed, and kissed her forehead. He unhooked her bra, and dropped it onto the floor, kissing and licking her nipples. Ayame ran her fingers through his hair, and slid her hands down his back to the waistband of his pants, hooking her fingertips into his waistband. InuYasha allowed her to slide his pants off, and groaned as she gripped his aroused length. He removed her pants, and slowly slid her panties off her body, before picking her up in his arms. He kissed her one more time, before sliding into her, gently. Ayame moaned, and gasped as InuYasha began to massage her breasts, licking and sucking on her hardened pink nipples again. Ayame arched her back and mewled, and InuYasha began to thrust into her, slow, deep thrusts. Ayame put her hands on InuYasha's shoulders, and held onto him tightly. She gasped at the pleasurable feelings that ran through her body, and began to grind her hips, increasing the pleasure for both of them.
The lovemaking continued on throughout the night, and when it was over they both fell asleep in each others arms, sleeping in late through the day. When they awoke, they stayed in bed for another hour, holding each other. They both knew how much they loved the other, no words were needed to convey their love.
Kane parked and locked the door, walking over to the passenger side to help his kid out. He normally let his kid get out on his own, to teach independance, but he didn't want to risk his kid accidentally slamming the door into the uber expensive dark red car parked next to them. He walked into the hotel and got a room, walking up there and dropping his kid off in the room.
"You stay here, Sasuke, watch TV, or something. Daddy has to go out and make some money. If I am not back by 12:00, then call this number, 'k?"
Sasuke nodded, used to the way he lived, and got the remote for the TV. He jumped into the big bed, and turned it on, flicking it to the cartoons channel.
Kane smiled and was about to walk out the door, when his son jumped off the bed, ran over to him, and grabbed his leg. Kane looked down questioningly.
"I love you, Daddy!" Sasuke said, and Kane picked his kid up. "I love you too, Sasuke." He said, smiling at him. He hugged him, and was about to put him down when Sasuke kissed him on the cheek.
"Goodbye, Daddy..." Sasuke said. Kane looked down at his son and grinned. "What did I say about that? You only say goodbye when you aren't going to see someone anymore. You always say 'see ya.'" He said. Sasuke nodded, and ran back to the bed, climbing onto it again. He looked at his dad, and waved. "See ya, Daddy!"
Kane smiled sadly, and waved back. "See ya, Sasuke." He said, before walking out the door. He locked the door and turned around, only to bump into a couple that were walking by him, holding hands. His arm had swung and hit the girls arm, and he stopped. He apologized, before walking down to the lobby ahead of them, at a slightly faster pace. He got down there, and walked out the door to his car. he got in, and started it up, letting it warm up for a few minutes. A second later, the couple he had bumped into came out the door, and walked toward him. Kane figured that they were gonna try to chat, but he had places to go, so he engaged the reverse and backed out slowly, only to have the couple walk right by his car to the expensive one parked there. He watched as they got into the car, and reversed out, squealing the tires. They drove out of the parking lot, with Kane right behind them. They turned the same way as he had to go, and Kane groaned. He might have a bit of competition if they tried to street race him, so he stayed just behind them for a while, not daring to make any pass attempts. He followed close behind them and checked out their liscense plate, smiling at what he saw. The liscense plate had the letters RCR followed by the numbers 001. RCR 001. He grinned, and revved his engine. Time to find out if he really was Racer 001. He flashed his headlights twice, and pulled out to the right, only to be blocked off immediately.
'Oh, come on, don't tell me he's blocking me. Maybe it's because he's afraid to race me!' Kane grinned, and faked to the right, and ducked to the left, only to be blocked again.
InuYasha grinned, and saw right through his fake, sliding his car to the left, blocking him. Just to prove he wasn't no ameteur. Then he slid to the right, stuck his hand out the window, and waved the car forward. The yellow Stingray slid up beside him, and they kept pace beside each other, until they rounded the corner. As soon as they came around the corner they floored the accelerator, and the yellow Stingray jumped ahead, the tires having better grip then the McLaren F1, but after that, pure acceleration won out, and the McLaren F1 sped ahead. Kane grinned, and settled in behind him, noticing that he had slightly better grip on the straightaways. He knew that a corner was coming up, and waited, comfortable as to his victory.
InuYasha approached the corner, and slowed, his front brakes locking easily with no traction to make the tires resist the brakes. InuYasha, with his wheel turned to make the left hand corner, didn't turn, instead, his car slid straight forward, toward the guard-rail. InuYasha swore, and let off the brakes, slowly bringing his car around, inches from the guard-rail, and accelerated, but it was no use, for the Stingray had cornered the left hand turn hard, his treaded tires biting into the snow with a vengeance, pushing his car hard through the turn.
InuYasha hit the gas and fell in line about 50 feet behind the car, accelerating hard. He knew that if another turn came up before he could catch up, then he had officially lost his first unofficial street race. The first official race he had lost was the one with Kouga, and now he was about to lose this one. The way to win a street race was to make the other person fall so far behind that when you looked in your rear-view, you couldn't see them. If the car up ahead went around another corner, InuYasha would fall out sight, and lose. InuYasha punched the acceleration, and caught up, and cut around to the right, over estimating the turn, and slipping out on the snow, almost throwing the car into a spin. He straightened the car out, and hit the gas again, upshifting. He blew by the car like it was standing still, and careened around a corner, all on a gamble. He threw it into a drift, and over revved the engine, popping the clutch and downshifting. The downshift caused the rear wheels to slow, and they gripped a bit of the road, slinging the car around the corner. InuYasha grinned, and accelerated straight out of the drift, yelling wildly, for he was beating the Stingray. He just needed to use his superior acceleration to get to the end of the straightaway, and make the turn, putting the Stingray out of sight.
Kane groaned, and wondered how he had lost his 50 foot lead so damn fast. He punched the gas, and upshifted, the torque throwing his front wheels into the air for a second. He settled down, and sped up, knowing that unless the car ditched in the right hand turn ahead, then he had already lost. He saw the car head into the turn, and grimaced as it dissapeared around the bend. He swore, and slowed, taking the corner gently. As he expected, the car was waiting for him, idling on the side of the road. He pulled up next to it, and rolled down his window. He threw 50 bucks in through their car window, and hollered out to them.
"Nice race! My names Kane!" He said, pulling his car over to the side of the road. They did the same, and they got out, and shook hands. InuYasha introduced himself, and hugged Ayame.
"Thanks for the downshift tip in the turn, babe, it really helped." He said, kissing her. Kane laughed, and clapped InuYasha on the back.
"You lucky guy! Not only do you got a beautiful girl, you got a beautiful girl that is into cars!"
InuYasha laughed. "Yeah, I did pretty good for myself." He looked at the Stingray. "Thats a nice car you got there, where you headed?"
Kane grinned. "Can I trust you?" InuYasha nodded. "If I was any type of law enforcement guy, I woulda busted you for that little race we just had."
Kane smiled. "True. I'm headed just a few miles more down the road, where a big Burnout match is scheduled, I'm gonna see if I can't get myself into that race, make some cash."
InuYasha smiled. "Well then, your gonna have me as your competition." InuYasha said. He got into his car, and revved his engine.
"Don't worry, Kane! I'll be proud to put your paint all over my car when I smash you up!" InuYasha yelled, before pulling away, waving back to Kane out his window.
Kane listened to the fading engine, until it couldn't be heard anymore over the howling wind. He got into his car, and started it.
"Well," Kane said to himself. "He has class, thats for sure." And with that, he put his car into gear, checked his watch, and slowly pulled onto the road, after letting another car roar by him.
At the Burnout Location.
InuYasha placed the last winter tire onto the axle, and bolted it on, making sure that it was tight. He wiped the grease on his pants, and lowered the jack, taking a rag out of his pocket and wiping off the front of his car, grinning uncontrollably at the mean, sexy look of his car. He took his empty Nitrous bottles that were lying on the garage floor by his car, and took them to the refilling station. He gave the guy $500, and he got the two bottles filled up. He took them back to his car, and hooked them up to the engine, making sure that the connections were tight. He looked at the two empty bottleless connectors, and it reminded him that he usually raced with four bottles of Boost, but it being winter, he figured that he wouldn't need as much Boost. He slammed the hood, and walked to the front of the car, starting it. He reversed it out of the garage, and drove slowly through the crowd to his personal garage that he rented, where he parked. He leaned back, and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath wondering how the hell he was going to win this race, or even survive it. The speed he was hitting with the Stingray behind him was nothing compared to how fast he would have to go to win this race, and the cornering was going to be way sharper. He hoped that he could adapt to the winter tires during the race, so he could get a half honourable position in this race. A loud slamming sound outside jerked him out of his reverie, and he opened his eyes to see Ayame sprawled on his hood, her face and chest pressed up agaisnt the glass, grinning at him. He got out, and helped her off the hoood, kissing her.
"Well, I might as well jack up the car now with some new springs and shocks, give me some more advantage, cause I'm gonna need it." He said, embarrassed to admit it. Ayame hugged him. You will do fine, don't worry about it! Your a natural driver, you can adapt to it. Give yourself some credit, you deserve it!" Ayame said, kissing him on the lips. InuYasha grinned, and returned the kiss.
"Yeah, but I'm far from good. I thought I was good, until I almost got my ass kicked by a Stingray that I could have wasted on a straightaway on dry pavement." He said wryly.
Ayame laughed, and slapped his ass. "Don't worry about it!" She said. InuYasha turned away, laughing. "Okay, I gotcha!" Ayame put her arms around his waist, and said his name. He turned around, and slid his arms around her slim waist.
"Yeah?" He asked.
Ayame looked at him seriously. "I want you to be careful, InuYasha. Don't push yourself, this isn't your natural course." She said, looking him in his eyes. InuYasha nodded.
"I love you, InuYasha. Be safe." She said, hugging him tightly, burying her head in the crook of his neck. InuYasha hugged her back, and kissed her throat. He felt her tears leaking through his shirt, and he wondered what was wrong. He asked her.
"I just don't feel safe sitting on the sidelines, not being able to race the track next to you, judging if your making the right decisions, going too fast, and I don't like watching from the sidelines, I'm so nervous, not being with you, this race scares me..." She said, taking a deep breath. InuYasha hugged her, and whispered in her ear.
"Don't worry, love. I will come back to you in one piece, I promise, if it's the last thing I do." he said. Ayame nodded, and kissed him deeply. InuYasha returned the kiss, holding her close.
A/N omg this was long...enjoy! Happy new year!!!
