Chapter02 –news about a new team
The next day
Takumi stopped by the gas station after his morning delivery. His best friend and former worker, Itsuki, had finally come home from his Family vacation. Takumi was glad to see him back, for he was gone for about a month now.
"Takumi!!!" Itsuki called upon seeing the 86 park.
"Itsuki, you're back" Takumi said as he got out
"yeah, we arrived yesterday evening"
"so, how was your vacation?"
"terrible! There were no girls!!!!! But then, I remembered my motto: Street racers don't need a girl!!!"
"hmph.........I don't know about that" Takumi chuckled, remembering Ryousuke and Yuki
"huh? What do you mean???"
"ah......... nothing, nothing!!!! Anyway, how're you been?" Takumi said, changing the topic
"here, still a proud member of the Akina speedstars! Iketani-sempai told me you're already a member!"
"yeah, I had to get a sticker to meet Ryousuke's......um......suggestion and I've been racing for the team, right? So, I guess Iketani-sempai recruited me anyways"
"ah........." Itsuki said
"actually, I also have another sticker. The official sticker of the Kengai Racing team"
"really?!?!?!? I feel so envious!!!!"
"well, at least you belong in a team already.........that reminds me, I just thought you wanted to know, Kazumi-chan is also part of the team"
"ow? What car does she drive?"
"also an 86. so there are a total of three 86's in the team"
"three???? That's a lot for one team"
"yeah" Just at that exact moment, a white 180 drove in and parked beside them.
"Kenji-sempai" Takumi said
"hey guess what?" Kenji said when he got out
"what?" Itsuki said
"there's a new team that's defeating every racer in the area"
"really? Where are they now? What's their name?" Takumi said
"Fiery hell they're called, but don't worry yet. They're still headed for Irohazaka"
"isn't that the emperor's hometown?" Itsuki asked
"yeah. But you know, I hope they beat them......the new team scares me" A split second after, Iketani stepped out of the station's office and approached the group.
"hey"
"Iketani-sempai" they said in chorus
"have you heard about the new team?" Kenji pressed on
"yes. Fiery hell, am I correct?" Iketani said All of them nodded
"they're new, I suppose. Because the cars in their team are all imports"
"really? What cars?" Itsuki asked
"the new evo's 7 and 8"
"from what I read in a magazine, those cars are REALLY powerful" Kenji added
"I sure hope the emperor team beats them. If not, we'll have to beat them" Takumi said
"what, us? No way!" Itsuki said
"if we can't beat them, then the Kengai Racing team shall do it. We've been improving dramatically, every single one of us"
"that's good to hear" Iketani said
"yeah. So, there's how many are you already?" Kenji asked
"um......" then he started ticking off his fingers one by one. "11"
"eleven? I thought there were only 8 of you! Who're the others?"
"one is an old friend of Ryousuke. I don't know if you guys know her, though"
"her???" his friends said together
"her name's Kazama Yuki A.K.A blue ice of Tokyo"
"YOU HAVE THE 'BLUE ICE' IN YOUR TEAM????" they all bellowed at Takumi
"yeah"
"amazing........." their voices trailed off
"in addition to that, Sayuki and Kazumi-chan are also part of the team" They paid no attention to what Takumi had spoken of. They remained unmoving, staring blankly at space.
"whatever" Takumi said, walking away from them.
