First up were Phoenix and Ryu. Each of them climbed onto their bike and readied all of their gears.
"Ok," Sark readied his gun. "On my mark!' With a bang of the gun, both bike raced off, going as fast as they could.
Ryu lagged behind on their 5th lap. She checked her oil tank and hit the escalate switch. She speeded up to Phoenix. They both look at each other and Ryu angled her bike so she was able to pull in front of Phoenix.
Phoenix growled and on their 7th lap, he pulled equal to her. With the last burst of speed, both pulled through at the same time.
Eerie silence surrounded the two teams. Ryu had never tied with anyone before, yes she had lost, but tied? The same thoughts were running through the boy's head, but Phoenix had never lost a race.
"Wow," Sark got a smug look, "Well we have our answer for that race, next, Yume, Falcon, please keep this race a clean one, not worried about you Yume, but for you."
Yume pulled her gloves on tight and fixed her helmet, " Aye, don't worry Sark." She gave him a thumb up sign and pulled even with Falcon at the start line. They glanced at each other and waited for the gunshot.
Bang
Both bikes shot off again. They were tied most of the laps, until Yume pulled forward and zoomed around the 6th lap. Falcon gave a feral growl and added speed to his bike. On their 7th lap Falcon pulled ahead of Yume and gave her a slam with his bike. Nicking her right leg.
She let out a curse and they passed the finish line, Falcon. Yume swore colorfully under her breath as she gave Falcon a nasty glare.
"Fucking shit," she hissed as she limped over and sat down next to Ryu.
Kitsune stood up and motioned for Wolf.
"It's just you and me pal."
Wolf smirked, "That's the way I like it." (A/N: Please note that they can't see each other because of their suits and helmets)
"On my mark."
BANG
Again both racers shot off. Kitsune pulled ahead right away. She was going to make this pervert kiss the ground. The race been straight forward, Phire lead the race, through all 7 laps.
"Damn," Wolf snarled as they got of their bikes. Phire gave a rare smile. ' I am so going to celebrate this one.' She thought calmly.
Sark signed, "Well that was a tie with all the score, and Yume you're losing your edge."
"No she's just weak," Falcon bit out. Yume stood up and was pulled back down by Rye.
"I'd prefer, Phoenix," She spat out his name with venom, "If your team won't insult mine."
"Children, please, please!" Sark broke in, " save the fighting till after the car race." Yume turned to Sark.
"I would say same partner racing." Came her cool calm voice.
Falcon sneered, "You're going to lose to me like before." Yume was silent; she appeared not to hear him at all.
"Agreed." Falcon opened his visor and spat onto the ground, just to put the visor back on. "Under one condition, you and I go first."
Yume nodded and strapped into her Honda and Falcon got into his Thunderbird.
They drove up to the start line and Sark readied his gun again.
BANG
Both cars' tires squealed and they were off. Each going the fastest they could. Yume was determined to win this race. She began flicking switches and she hit the escalate switch. She was thrown back into her seat at the speed.
Everything became a dash of color. And Yume's car just looked like a dash of black and gray.
When Yume saw the finish line she set down the brakes, causing her car to spin. Smoke gathered around her tires and rose up. The squealing noise echoed on the track.
Yume climbed out of her car and pulled off her helmet. Her black tipped silver hair can showering down. They clung in clumps to her forehead and face. She whipped away the sweat that drenched her face. She glanced at her leather glove that wasn't doing a good job and grabbed a towel.
She turned to Falcon, just in time to see him, pull his helmet off. Yume stiffened and it dawned on her that she knew him.
Bryan, it was Bryan, also it was the same guy that she bumped into on the day her was late for school. Cae tilted her head and smirked.
"Well, well," Cae moved over, "looks like the odds are even." Bryan scowled, knowing very well who she was.
Sark stepped forward, "Next, Wolf and Kitsune."
Wolf looked coldly at Kitsune, "You're going down, hard and fast."
"You're going down the same way as last time," Kitsune sneered right back.
Kitsune got into her Nissan and Wolf got into his Acura.
BANG
Wolf had learned from his mistake and pulled up speed fast. Kitsune frowned and began to clash with his car at ever turn. Both drivers tried to push the other's car off the track.
Wolf glanced to his left at Kitsune and measured the time she would crash. Finally when she came to push him again, Wolf pulled upward and Kitsune fell behind. It was no surprise that Wolf won the round.
Wolf climbed out of his Acura with his helmet off and a smirk on his face. Yume/Cae hissed and Kitsune/Phire came out and scowled at him. Her black, red, and orange hair was stuck in clumps too.
"What did you say about me losing?" Tala smirked at Phire's expression. She turned and sat down next to Cae and began to sulk.
Ryu and Phoenix stood up. "This time," Ryu said slowly, "we'll see who really is the best."
"No objections there."
Phoenix got into his Toyota and Ryu got into her Nissan.
BANG
Both were off again.
"They're going to tie," Cae stated. Phire gave her a disbelieving look. "You saw the look in her eyes Rye, don't say you didn't." Cae sighed and turned to look at Phire.
"I saw it, but still Phoenix, who I'm thinking is the guy with the two-toned hair and mahogany eyes, isn't going to give up without a fight."
And turn to her words; Ryu and Phoenix went on a clash-to-clash collision course. With every turn and every movement, the two cars slammed into each other. Cae flinched at each squeal and Bryan shot her an amused look.
Again true to Cae words, and much to the surprise of everyone else, Phoenix and Ryu pulled in together.
Ryu stomped out to her car and yanked her helmet off. " Who are you?" She hissed. Phoenix also pulled off his helmet and glared at her. "Kai Hiwatari." Ryu snorted. Her black, streaked silver hair wasn't like Cae or Phire's, because she had tied it up. But all in all, she didn't look so happy.
Everyone got out of their seats on their motorbikes and walked over. Cae placed a hand on Silver's shoulder.
"Well, well," Tala smirked, "Cranston image." Phire snorted. "We could say the same for Princeton."
Kai glared at the girls in front of him, "I gave you my name, what is yours?"
Silver gave a rude sound, "I didn't know you cared." Cae's fingers dug into Silver's shoulder as a sign.
Cae turned, "Love to stay and chat, but we've got a schedule to keep." She tossed the boys a hard look, especially Bryan and gave Sark a kiss on the cheek. With that the girls put back on their helmets and whipped off on their bikes again.
"I don't know her, but I hate her."
[Party]
Rose was glaring at Ian, through her mass of soggy hair. Ian was crackling with laughter. Rose was glad that it was just water and not punch. Rose was twitching very badly; her face turned a chalky white.
"Uh on," Lily murmured. Rose pushed her hair out of her face and took a controlled breath, with a turn of her heels she disappeared into the ladies room.
"You just don't learn do you?" Violet asked shyly. Johnny smirked at her, "Well you see this thing, he don't have a brain in this." He tapped Ian's head. Ian growled and tried to hurt the taller boy. Violet laughed and Lily rolled her eyes.
Suddenly the boys from Cranston joined them. Oliver smiled at Lily, who in turn gave his a huge smile. Enrique looked around and didn't find the girl he was looking for, Robert was silent, and Aki was nowhere is sight.
Enrique scratched his blond head, "Where's Rose?" Lily smirked, "Oh, she probably left."
Violet shook her head, and pointed, "Nope, she's over there." Indeed, Rose was hard to miss with her dress and red streaked hair. She was apparently busy with a football player. (Ha, you know the rules, did I mention that Rose is a player?)
"Looks like she's busy," Tala suddenly appeared and remark. Three different snorts were heard behind him. Two of them cold, and one out of the two suggested he or she could care less and the third was light hearted.
"Hey!" Enrique chimed in brightly, "you sure are dressed for partying."
Cae sighed, "Enny shut up where's Aki?"
Enny made a face, "Eww, your interested in your own brother." Silence followed his statement, and Ian chocked on his drink. Everyone turned to Cae and saw her smiling.
WHAM Cae hit Enny hard over the head, "Enrique, you've been watching too much Angel Sanctuary." Everyone who knew what Angel Sanctuary was burst out laughing.
Ian how every was determined to get revenge, "How do we know you really aren't interested in your brother."
Silver and Phire scowled at him while Cae just stared. "Hi Aki!" She suddenly said cheerfully. Ian gave her a weird look.
"You're stupid, I'm not Aki...I am IAN!" Cae gave him a glare.
"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to my brother, who is behind you!" Cae and Ian got into another spit fight until someone broke in.
"Shut up Silver," Cae snapped her mouth shut and glared at Aki.
"What?" she pouted.
Ian suddenly burst out laughing, "Your name is Silver?"
"Yeah so?"
"That's a stupid name!"
Silver didn't look too amused by this and Cae looked murderous. Kai smirked; he was interested to see that Silver Etoile would do.
Ian was tapped on the shoulder and when her turned, Silver's fist connected with his nose.
"OWWWWWW!" Ian burst out.
Lily clucked her tongue, "Now he has a bloody nose, due to Silver and two black eyes due to Cae."
Violet looked at him, "Are you sure he's going to be alright?"
Johnny hooked his arm around Violet, "Oh don't worry about the midget." Violet laughed nervously and moved Johnny's arm off her shoulders.
"I'd be careful," Aki, said to Johnny, he was tightening one of his black leather gloves, "She's Silver's sister." Johnny said nothing but just glared at the young man.
Cae suddenly let out a string of curses and glared heatedly at Aki. "You forgot didn't you?"
Aki blinked slowly twice, "No... I didn't."
"Good, "Cae began to drag Aki off. "I'll see you guys tomorrow." She was about half way to the Gym door when she darted back. She suddenly dumped Ian into the full punch bowl and yelled, "YOU ARE ONE SICK MIDGET!"
The people there burst out laughing.
" Come on," Phire dragged Rose away from the jock, "I need alcohol." Silver, Lily, and Violet followed behind.
Hi it's me, SCS/Ginyume-chan! I wrote this chapter with RC. She's not here right now!
I know nothing about racing, so if it doesn't add up...sorry!
Please can we clear it here, that Silver Rye (Cae) doesn't show interest in her brother, Aki.
If you haven't seen or read Angel Sanctuary, you may be confused. Um...well it goes like this, Sara loves her brother, Setsuna and to her. Not the brotherly and sisterly love, love, love. Ok, I'm confusing myself. Well you get the idea, so I put it in here.
Please don't think that they have sick minds or anything, it was just brought up!
Please read and review!
Thank you:
Silivan: thank you for the compliment and hope you enjoy the other chapters.
AngelDranger: Well you've got your answer on who won.
Without Wax,
SCS/Ginyume-chan
