Ryousuke was overseeing practices of the team at the Peak of Usui Mountain when his cell phone rang.
"hello" Ryousuke said upon taking the call
"Ryousuke?" the caller said
"yeah, this is me. Who's this?"
"Sudou Kyouychi"
"ah.........what may I do for you, Kyouychi?"
"I just called to inform you, there's a new team in town"
"a new team?"
"yeah. They call themselves 'Fiery hell' and they're really fast. They might be heading your way soon."
"oh......did they battle you?"
"yes and.........I, rather, we lost"
"your whole team lost? I don't believe that"
"oh but you have to. The cars they drive are all imports"
"what cars?"
"the latest models of the lanevo's, evo's 7 and 8"
"really? Their group must be fresh, brand new. Were they young?"
"uh......yeah. Their age level is around yours and Keisuke's"
"as I thought. They are young"
"speak for yourself. They are stubborn and bratty kids if you ask me, too proud of the cars they have"
"but look at the situation properly. If you had the same cars as they do, won't you act the same?"
"yeah. But it's not like that Ryousuke! And don't laugh! This isn't a laughing matter!" Kyouychi said, upon hearing Ryousuke chuckle a bit.
"alright, alright. Don't worry okay? My team won't lie back during a battle. To tell you the truth, they've been improving greatly"
"really? That's good news"
"yeah. And I'm glad they do learn. Teaching them everyday is pretty exhausting"
"well, at least they improve and use their knowledge properly"
"say, why don't you drop by here sometime? But I'll have to schedule that. We move throughout hometowns almost every other week"
"wow! Then the team must be really that good, for you to be practicing on every hometown there"
"yeah. Anyway, I'll talk to you later, they're back from their run here"
"where you now?"
"Usui"
"ah, alright. Then bye!"
"bye! Thanks for telling me about Fiery hell"
"no problem" then he hung up The team arrived shortly, parking their cars side by side. They got out, some with a relieved look on their faces.
"was that a good run? I can see that most of you got tired of the mountain" Ryousuke said, smiling
"it was a BIT tiring" Nakazato said, panting a bit
"then I guess we'll have to extend our practices here" The whole team groaned
"you want to improve right? Then we shall tackle every home course around here to be fully equipped during a battle..........which reminds me" he trailed off.
"what?" Wataru asked
"Kyouychi called while all of you were driving and he told me some news about a new team"
"a new team?" Yuki said cluelessly
"yes. A new one. They call themselves 'Fiery hell' and Kyouychi reckons that they'll be heading our way soon" Murmurs were heard 'Fiery hell? That sounds so familiar.........' Takumi thought to himself Then Ryousuke spoke once more
"that is why I'm informing you, might as well inform the team each of you belonged to before, to not accept the challenge......"
"but why Aniki?" Keisuke cut him off
"......for WE will beat them, OUR team will beat them. It's not that I don't believe in your former team member's skills, but rather, I'm confident that your skills are good enough already"
"really? Amazing!" Kazumi exclaimed
"yeah. So, that'll be all. Practices are over for today." Ryousuke said as he turned to leave
"uh.........Ryousuke?" someone called him from behind He turned around and was faced by Usui's angels, Mako and Sayuki, accompanied by Kazumi and Yuki, the four girls of his team.
"yes? What may I do for you, ladies?" he said, smiling at them Mako elbowed Sayuki, who answered, "alright, alright, I'll do it." to her friend. She then turned to Ryousuke, who stood there, oblivious of their odd behavior.
"right, uh.........so, you see, its Friday, and there's a girls nite out at one of the restaurants in Akina so we came to ask if we could........."
"......if we could take Yuki-chan with us? Mako continued
"I mean, if it's okay with you........." Sayuki added hastily
"we truly understand if you said—"
"it's okay with me" Ryousuke cut them off
"it's okay with you?" Mako said, thunderstruck
"are you sure?" Sayuki asked
"hey, I already gave you my answer. Do you want me to reconsider?"
"no! no! it's fine, thank you!" Kazumi said
"I have just one condition" Ryousuke added
"anything at all" Mako said, grinning
"just keep an eye on her, alright? I might strip you girls out if anything happened"
"sure, sure that's fine......no! it's not fine that you strip us off! Your condition is good"
"well then have fun!" Ryousuke bid them goodbye
"Thank you, Ryousuke-kun" Yuki said as she approached him and planted a kiss on his right cheek. "bye!" Yuki said, waving a hand at him as she ran after her companions. He waved back then got in his FC and drove home.
