DISCLAIMER: I do not own 2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, or anything else. I only own the characters that you don't recognize. Anyway, here's chapter 7...ENJOY!
Sorry for the long wait, but I've been busy with school and homework and the holidays. Plus, I've been trying to come up with some ideas, which was hard since I had writer's block. Hopefully I made this chapter a good one.
IMPORTANT: ALSO...I know that in the story and summary that I said she was 16...but I sort of messed up on her age. She's supposed to be 18, and Han is supposed to be 24. Sorry for all the confusion...Thank you and that's all.
So, chapter 7, enjoy!
RE-CAP
He didn't know how and he didn't know why...but he will find out...he'll find out her secret real soon.
CHAPTER 7
"I hate you..." Faith muttered, glaring at a giggling and grinning Suki.
"Why?!" Suki asked, laughing, trying to look shocked and hurt.
"Hm...I don't know...maybe because of...THIS!" Faith replied, pointing to her current outfit.
Suki pursed her lips in an attempt to hide her smile as she looked at Faith's clothes...or lack of , anyway. Faith had on a bright pink bikini top w/ matching bottoms with a white, Hawaiian flower design; and white, open toe, strappy, heels, with a 3 in. heel. Yuki, who had suggested that Faith try it on, was on the leaning against the wall, on the floor, laughing her butt off, unaware of the heated glare that she was receiving from her sister.
"Do pray tell what is so funny, Onee-chan!" Faith asked angrily, putting emphasis on "onee-chan".
"You-you-you look SO CUTE!" Yuki said, giggling.
"Yeah! Honto ne Kawaii!" Suki agreed, stifling a laugh.
"Cute? Cute...I look cute." Faith muttered.
Suki softly laughed and placed a hand on her hip as she stared amusedly at Faith. She was about to speak but kept quiet when she saw Han and Takashi walk in with the others. Faith softly groaned upon seeing their arrival and tried to hide but was pulled back by Yuki, who had a mischievous look gleaming in her eyes. Takashi stopped in his tracks as he stared at Faith disbelievingly. Han rose an eyebrow as he looked at Faith. Tej, Rome, Brian, and Rachel Ann were both shocked and angry, while Jimmy had a blank look on his face, but a happy and satisfied look in his eyes.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING?!" Takashi, Brian, Rome, and Tej yelled angrily at the same time.
"A bikini?" Faith noted innocently, placing her hand on her hip.
"..." Takashi was silent and flabbergasted.
Suki and Yuki clamped their hands on their mouths, trying hard not to laugh. Faith glared at the two women and huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Anta no koto dai kirai!" Faith said in Japanese.
"Eh! Doushite? What did I do?" Suki asked.
"Not just you...also you Yuki." Faith said, reverting back to English.
"What? Nani? Why me? I didn't do anything!" Yuki defended.
"Yeah right. Look at what I'm wearing...whose idea was it to make me wear...THIS!" Faith asked angrily, pointing back to her current swimwear ouftit.
"Suki/Yuki!" Suki and Yuki said at the same time.
Faith glared at them and rolled her eyes, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Hm...I would've thought that you would've been interested in these type of outfits." Han commented.
Faith internally flinched before turning around and regaining her compusure to look at Han.
"What's THAT supposed to mean?" Faith asked, trying to look and act haughty.
"Nothing...just thought that you liked wearing skimpy swim suits. That's all." Han said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.
Faith opened and closed her mouth a few times, trying to come up with a good excuse or retort.
"You look like a fish doing that." Han said, smirking at her.
Faith just glared at Han and angrily walked away, heading back to the dressing room to change. Suki and Yuki looked at each other, giggling at the fight that occured between the two, secretly coming up with a plan to try and get them together.
"Brah...you shouldn't do that." Rome advised, looking at Han.
"Do what?" Han asked innocently, quirking an eyebrow.
"Push her buttons...she hits and smack people really hard...trust me. I know from experience." Jimmy answered.
"Hm..." Han muttered.
Faith came out of the dressing room a few minutes later in her regular clothes, with 2 black bikini's and a white bikini in her arms. Faith huffed and glared at Han as she walked past him, intentionally pushing and hurting his shoulder with her own. Han slightly frowned and placed his hand ontop of the abused area, watching Faith pull out a Platinum credit card from her back pocket to pay the cashier for the swimsuits. Rachel's eyes widened when she saw the shiny, silver card in her sister's hands.
"What the hell!" Rachel Ann said to herself.
"What?" Takashi asked, looking at Rachel Ann.
"Why the hell does SHE have daddy's platinum card, and I don't?!" Rachel Ann asked angrily.
"Because daddy likes her more than you." Yuki simply stated, teasingly smiling at her little sister.
Rachel Ann glared at her older sister, muttering something incoherently under her breath. Faith soon came back after paying for everything, 1 small bag in her hand. She looked at everyone, signaling with her eyes if they were ready to leave. Suki smiled and walked over to Faith, placing her arm over Faith's shoulders. Suki grinned at Faith and they both left the store, everyone else following them from behind. They walked past a few stores, Suki noticing Faith's eyes catching the Hot Topic and Anchor Blue stores. Faith softly sighed as they walked past dozen of stores, her feet starting to hurt from wearing the cursed heels that Suki forced her into.
"Why don't we go home?" Faith suggested.
"Yeah...I am getting kinda tired." Yuki agreed.
"Alright...what about you guys?" Takashi asked.
"A'ight. I'm cool with that." Tej replied.
"YES, please yes!" Jimmy yelled, rubbing his sore legs.
"But...I don't want to." Rachel Ann replied, pouting her lips.
"We're all tired though. Plus...I have to go, gotta check on the garage to make sure nothing bad happened to it." Han said.
"Speaking of garage...what about you Tej? Brian and Rome? What about your garages?" Faith asked, looking at the three guys.
"Well...we're thinking of going...international. You know...Tej International...or something like that." Tej answered.
"Yeah...plus, we're thinking of merging our companies together...to avoid competition and drama." Brian said.
Faith mouthed an 'oh', and followed them to the parking lot. Faith thought of going back with Han but thought against it because of the awkwardness.
"I'll ride with you this time...if you're okay with that, that is." Faith said, looking at Takashi.
Takashi smirked and shook his head, opening and unlocking the doors, allowing Faith to enter the car. Takashi got in and shut the door, sticking the key into the ignition and starting the car. He backed out of the parking lot/driveway, and left the mall, everyone else following suit. During the drive home, Takashi looked at his melancholy cousin.
"Hey..." Takashi softly called out, grabbing Faith's attention.
"Huh? What?" Faith asked confusedly.
"You alright? You've been pretty silent the whole day." Takashi noted.
"It's nothing...just...I'm just tired." Faith answered.
"Of shopping?" Takashi asked.
"Of EVERYTHING...I'm tired of lying to my dad, to Han, acting like a total, bitchy, mini-me version of Rachel Ann. I...just want to be me. I want to be myself and be able to race and work on cars and...and..." Faith trailed off sadly.
"Don't worry...when the time comes, you'll tell your dad and I'm sure he'll understand. As for being yourself...that'll probably take some time. Just wait for a few weeks...or months. Soon, you'll be able to do everything you've always wanted to do...as YOURSELF." Takashi said.
Faith turned her head and smiled gratefully at Takashi. She was happy that her cousin understood her situation and that she had friends who cared about her and liked her for who she really was. She was both happy and sad that she had agreed to move to Tokyo. Happy for meeting Takashi, her uncle, and even Han. But sad because Han, and her father knew nothing about her secret. That she was an illegal, and sometimes legal, street racer, and that she loved fixing and building cars. She was a tomboy who loved to prove the fact that she could do anything a guy could do, but even better than them. She knew how to take care of herself thanks to Brian, Tej, Rome, and Jimmy; who had agreed to be her personal punching bag every now and then. She didn't know how she was going to survive living in Tokyo, but, she knew that as long as she had her friends and family, and even cars, she knew and believed that she could manage.
"Arigato, Takashi. Thank you so much...for understanding." Faith said, softly smiling at her cousin.
"No problem, Baby Girl...I got your back...and obviously so do all your other friends." Takashi replied.
Faith smirked, "So...you approve then?"
Takashi softly chuckled as he stopped right in front of Faith's house. "Yeah...I approve...but not Jimmy. I'm keeping an eye on him."
Faith softly laughed and hugged her cousin, unbuckling the seatbelt and getting out of the car with Takashi follwing. Everyone followed her to the front door and watched as Yoji unlocked the door, pushing it open. Everyone went inside, sitting on the numerous couches and chairs in the living room, watching tv.
"Alright...I gotta go. Get ready for the races at the parking lot. Rumour has it that some fool wants to take away the title AND the girl from Sean. Plus...I have to keep Sean cool and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid, like drive while he's pissed off. We all know what happens when you drive angrily." Han said, smirking at Takashi.
Takashi softly chuckled and smirked, "Yeah, you end up busting up your car and driving into poles and walls."
"Exactly." Han said, smirking.
"Bye!" Everyone cried out as Han left the living room.
Faith watched from the corner of her eye as she saw Han leave the house. She turned when she Rachel Ann stand up and bring all of her bags with her upstairs to her room.
"Where you going?" Takashi asked, looking at Rachel Ann.
"I'm gonna go take a shower and change. I wanna look really hot for Han when I go to the races tonight." Rachel Ann replied.
"Who says you're going?" Yoji asked, quirking an eyebrow.
"Me...whether you like it or not, I'm going...Tata!" Rachel Ann said, heading upstairs.
Faith rolled her eyes and softly scoffed, looking back at the t.v. Suki and Yuki looked at each other before looking at Faith. Faith, having felt that she was being watched, turned her head to look at them. She quirked an eyebrow at them, wondering what mischief they were up to. Seeing the sparkle in their eyes, Faith's eyes widen a bit, knowing exactly what they were thinking about.
"No...HELL NO!" Faith abruptly cried out as she stood up, startling Jimmy.
"Whoa! No what?" Jimmy asked, looking at Faith with frightened eyes.
"Oh please? Onegai, Kai-chan?" Suki begged.
"What are you guys talking about?" Takashi asked confusedly, looking between Faith and Suki.
"They wanna play dress up." Brian replied, staring amusedly at his "little sister".
"Like hell I'm gonna do that! No...no, no, no! There's no way!" Faith yelled angrily.
--
"Anta no koto dai kirai..." Faith softly muttered.
By some uncanny force, Suki and Yuki had managed to drag Faith to her bedroom and dress her up...against her own will of course.
"Have you SEEN what Rachel Ann's wearing?" Suki asked, staring in awe at Rachel's barely there outfit.
Rachel was barely covered, wearing a skimpy pink bikin top with matching bottoms, white fitted leather skirt that barely covered her ass; and white, thigh-high, lace up boots.
"True..." Faith agreed.
Suki smiled at Faith with a knowing look in her eyes. Faith softly sighed and looked down at her outfit. She had to agree, compared to her step-sister, she did look pretty decent. All she was wearing was a black, short-sleeved fitted short that stopped above her bellybutton, showing off most of her tattoo's; faded blue, fitted, flared jeans that had ripped knees with her favorite studded belt; thin, black, fingerless leather gloves; and black/white Converse hightops. The only visible skin were her arms and stomach and part of her knees, which weren't really much.
"See...now...where is Han?" Yuki muttered, looking around the parking lot for any signs or traces of the mysterious drifter.
"Right there." Faith said, pointing to a certain direction.
Suki and Yuki turned their heads to see Han leaning against a red Evo, a bag of Gushers in his hand, and a slightly fuming Sean. They smiled at each other, grabbing Faith's elbow and forcing her to follow them to Han and Sean. Han looked up from his bag of candy when he saw three girls walking up to him and Sean. Han immediately recognized the two girls on either side of the girl in the middle.
'Suki and Yuki...wonder what they want...Wait? That girl...she looks familiar.' Han thought to himself.
"Hi, Han." Suki and Yuki greeted at the same time.
Han nodded his head in recognition, looking at the girl in the middle with the unique hairstyle. The mysterious girl looked back at him, quirking an eyebrow.
"Yes?" The girl said.
"Do I know you? I feel like I've seen you before." Han said.
Han noticed the girl smirk, "You should...after all...I am the girl that saved your ass from that Mika chick."
Han smirked back at the girl, popping the last Gusher from his bag into his mouth. He threw the bag away into the trash can and pulled out a bag of Munchies from his jacket. He quirked an eyebrow when he noticed the girl scoff and roll her eyes at him.
"What?" Han asked, popping a pretzel into his mouth.
"You must really love your munchies." The girl said.
Han chuckled and shrugged his shoulders, having no idea of what to say to the girl. Sean softly laughed and looked at the girl curiously. The girl turned her gaze from Han and directed it at Sean, quirking an eyebrow.
"Yes?" The girl asked.
"Uh...we never got your name last time...so...what is it?" Sean asked.
Han looked up from his bag, also curious in finding out the mysterious girl's name. Han watched as the girl softly laugh and smirk at them. Han slightly furrowed his brows in confusion, wondering what was so funny to her.
"What's so funny?" Han asked.
"I'm sorry...I never DID tell you my name did I?" The girl said.
"No." Han said, shaking his head.
"Heh...my bad...My name...is Kai. Kai Namazaki."
