*A car's engine sounds can be heard roaring as I emerged from the darkness, smiling.*

Me: Hello everyone and welcome to the 26th chapter of my second new Misc. Anime Story! Yipee!

*The light then turns on to see only Yakito in his racing form.*

Yakito: Okay. Why the light shows only me and not the car even though you can hear the sound engines?

Me: That you will have to find pretty soon.

Yakito: Okay...but it's just that it feels kinda pretty weird unlike when I had to ride on my racing form in a Police Supra 2 chapters ago.

Me: The car is still there. Just not being revealed by the lights today.

Yakito: Okay? I guess I will have to know pretty soon it seems.

*I sighed a bit.*

Me: Well then first off, I would like to thank you all so much for supporting us by favoriting and following me as well as my other stories.

Yakito: Yeah and since it's a Misc. Anime story, it's a complete OC's story. Therefore he owns the OCs and no one can use them without his permission.

Me: Indeed and now, let's get to the 26th chapter of my second ever Misc. Anime story. Hope you all enjoy this chapter :).

Yakito: And Ladies and Gentlemen. Start your engines!

*And so the roar of the engines can be heard.*

Yakito *smiling*: At least you can hear the engines roaring.

Chapter 26: Remembering the Past.

At the S. Osaka road at night, two cars zoom off at full speed. One is yellow and one is purple. As the scene gets closer, we noticed that it was the Yellow Toyota Supra JZA80 and a Lancer Evo 8 duke it out with the Lancer Evo 8 leading before the Supra accelerated even more and zoomed off, in which the driver of the Evo groans.

After a while, the two cars stopped side by side.

"You're good." Yakito said.

"Me? You're way too good thanks to your experiences and double life." The driver said in which both of them chuckle a bit.

"Nice Lan Evo by the way. You're part of any team?"

"Yeah. The Sunsetters. Actually from Tokyo in which we specialize in both drifting in the mountains and speed in the highways."

"That's a really cool team you are in."

"Thanks."

"And sorry if I challenged you so suddenly because seeing it..."

"Yeah?"

"Never mind."

"Bro. You don't have to apologize. Even you can get challenged suddenly."

"Yeah."

"There you have it. Good luck with your future races and chases."

"Arigato. You too."

"Yeah."

And with that, the Lancer Evo left. Pretty soon silence occurred for a moment in which Yakito gave a sad sigh as he finally looks at the photo of him and the girl when they were kids.

"That's right. That Lan Evo reminds me of her. She once said that she wanted to build the best version of the Supra and Lancer Evo in the world." Yakito thought as he looks at the photo which gives him flashback of several things.


Kids flashback:

"Let's see who's the fastest." A girl said as she readies herself with her diecast Lan Evo 4 model.

"Oh you're so on." Yakito, who is 3 years younger than her, said as he readies himself with his Supra diecast model.

"Down the slide! In they go!" Both the girl and Yakito said together as they released the cars on the slides as it goes down and down.

And then both of them went down at the same time but they thought...

"Better luck next time." The girl giggled, "Maybe you released it a bit late."

"Na uh. I did it as the same timing as yours and it looks like mine went faster." Yakito said with a pride on his chest.

"Oh Yeah?"

"Yeah! Admit your defeat."

"Never."

Silence occurred for a while in which they stared at each other till both of them, for no reason, started laughing as the girl hugs Yakito.

"Kids. Slide down! You're gonna get hurt!" A voice called out which was none other than Yakito's mom.

"We're gonna get some food to eat." The girl's mother called out.

"Lovebirds." The young Ryoko groaned and sighed.

"Hai!" Both of the girl and Yakito said together cheerfully as the girl grabs Yakito and they slide down together.


Middle School Flashbacks:

"So Ta-kun. You have got any plans for the future?" The girl asked Yakito.

"I have just entered middle school and you are already asking that?" Yakito groaned before saying, "You are way too advanced."

The girl chuckled a bit before asking:

"Wanna know my dream?"

"Yes. What is it?" Yakito asked curiously.

The girl took a deep breathe before saying:

"My dream is for us to build the best version of the Lan Evo and the best Supra JZA80 version in the world where we can compete with anyone from any car class."

"Whoa! That's kinda a bit advanced dream." Yakito said in awe and surprise.

"I know. That's why I must focus hard and get good, if not the best, grades. Don't you think?"

"I just prefer to laze around to be honest with a minimal effort to study."

"And you still get good results. Maybe you have a magic brain which I don't have."

"Eh?"

And with that said, the girl hugged Yakito and starts rubbing his hair in which Yakito groans.

"Oh come on. Really?" Yakito asked and groaned.

The girl chuckled a bit before lifting her small finger and said:

"Let's do our best and make that dream come true."

Silence occurred for a moment before Yakito said:

"It's a bit of a hard dream but sure."

And so he also lifted his small finger up and touched the girl's small finger.

Then suddenly she just pulled Yakito and gave him a kiss. Soon, they were like that for a few seconds before she let him go and then apologized:

"Sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable for doing like that. It's just..."

"No! Don't! It was good." Yakito said as he smiled while blushing.

The girl smiled too as she then pats and rubs his hair as they watched together the sun setting down.


Present:

"That was my first ever kiss on the lips. And during my middle school year! I bet other guys would be jealous hearing that." Yakito thought and smiled as he looks at the picture before shaking his head quickly and thought again, "Anyway. I thought that everything would go on like this...boy was I wrong..."


Flashback

"Wait! You are leaving?" Yakito, who was at the 2nd year of his middle school, asked in shock.

"Yeah. It seems like it." The girl said sadly, "My dad has found another job in Tokyo and we will soon have to move to there. Our parents are talking with your parents right now."

"Oh Man. Please don't leave."

"I have no choice Ta-kun. I'm sorry. Call me selfish if you want but it's for our family's sake."

"You...You wouldn't go out with anyone else would you?"

Silence occurred for a moment in which the girl soon laughed and said:

"Really? Of course not. I'll only think of you."

"Arigato." Yakito smiled.

"No worries. And do you recall what our dream is?"

"Making and tuning it into the best Supra and Lan Evo version anyone could ever have."

The girl immediately gives Yakito a hug and then said:

"When I get to Tokyo, I will let you know straight away that I've arrived and we can even exchange messages."

"I kinda don't feel like anything when I'll exchange messages with you compared to being with you physically." Yakito said.

"No worries. I'll come to Osaka to spend time with you but will you come to Tokyo to spend time with me if it's alright?"

With pure determination, Yakito said:

"I'll definitely come."

"Awesome." The girl said happily, "And now..."

The girl immediately gave a kiss on Yakito's forehead in which Yakito is in awe. The girl then smiled and said:

"Goodbye then Ta-kun. I love you always."


Present:

"I love you always." Yakito thought as his hands struggle to clinch the photo, "Those were the last words she said to me when I was with her and then, an hour after she said that, she left with her parents to move to Tokyo."

"When she arrived, she immediately contacted me and then for a while, we exchanged messages. It was like that for quite a while. I was even preparing to go to Tokyo to see her but then one day, everything changed..."


Flashback:

"Mother! Father! I haven't even received anything from her for several days!" Yakito asked before he demanded, "What's going on?! Do you know something?"

His parents remained silent though. But their faces seem to be showing that all is not good.

"Do you know anything?" Yakito asked before pleading, "Please tell me!"

"We're...We're really sorry..." His mother gave a deep sigh.

"Yeah...It will be hard for you to take if we tell you." His father said.

Yakito seems to be in shock or something. His older brother, Ryoko Taichi, also seems to sense something odd. Yakito immediately came rushing to him pleading:

"Ni-san. Do you know anything about what's going on? I haven't even received anything from her when I was confirming that I'll be going to visit her to Tokyo in which she told me to do so and that happened many days ago."

"I also don't know anything young brother. I'm surprised as you too." Ryoko said as he himself has no idea what's going on.

Yakito looks at his parents full of worries as the tension seems to fill in the air.


Present:

"I haven't received anything from her for the past several days about the confirmation and that worried me a lot and my parents' faces showed that they knew something might have happened to her. Without anything knowing about that, I graduated middle school with a defeated sigh on my face." Yakito thought before clinching his teeth in anger, "It wasn't until high school that I..."

Suddenly he heard a knock on the window. Yakito looks to see Zen smiling and waving at him. Yakito pulled down the window door and asked:

"Is there anything you want that made you come in?"

"May I come in mate? I realize that you look a bit down today." Zen said in which Yakito nodded by unlocking the door.

Me: Yep. That's the end of the 26th chapter.

Yakito *sighing and groaning*: Now I understand as to why the lights didn't reveal the car.

Me *smiling*: Yep indeed.

Yakito *growling*: But on the other side, can you please tell me WHY did you have to make that into an arc also?!

Me: You mean starting from this chapter?

Yakito: YES!

Me: Whoa come down man. I know you are upset but trust me, you're gonna love it pretty soon later.

Yakito *groaning*: Fine...whatever...

*I sighed a bit as silence occurred for a moment.*

Me: Well then folks, That's all from this chapter. The next chapter will be coming up within a week or a week and half so stay tune folks!

Yakito: And until then, please review and like this and his other stories as well as following and favouriting him.

Me: That's right. Till the next chapter comes, see you soon so...

Yakito: Sayonara.

Me *smiling*: Farewell.

*The Supra's engines then roars again as we wave our hands.*

Yakito *thinking*: This arc somehow is making me feel uneasy already.
