Just to warn any reader who has read pass chapter one, I am a non-expert at cars and initial D. I just like writing in general. Car racing scenes will be pretty limited too. Read and review, thanks. This is written under the influence of drowsy cough medicine that makes me feel funny. Enjoy.

Keisuke's POV

I turned in my bed, trying to catch more sleep. It was a Sunday morning for gosh sake. I squinted at my bedroom clock. 7:30. Well. That was pretty early, by my standards. Nonetheless, I got up and washed up. Heading to the dining room for some sustenance, I briefly wondered where aniki was. We pulled an all-nighter last night. I sat there, chewing a peanut butter sandwich mother made.

" Your aniki? He had breakfast with your dad at 6 in the morning. He's probably in his room.' I finished the sandwich and went upstairs to my aniki's room. As usual, he was on his laptop. I knocked, entered. He nodded. " Keisuke."

" Hey. Aniki. It's a pretty nice weather out. I was thinking of a drive up Mt Akagi, would you like to go too?"

" I'll take a rain check. I've got something to do." I nodded. Aniki always put his heart into everything he did. I got out of the house, wiped the windshield of my FD free from dew and started it. The weather today was really fantastic. Clear skied, sunny, with a slight breeze. I headed for Mt Akagi and started the hillclimb, as usual.

Suddenly, Keisuke saw a black EK 9 accelerating behind him. It was planning to overtake him! He was shock. Firstly, why was there an EK 9 in the area? No one Keisuke knew owned an EK 9 and such an evidently modified one with such heavy horsepower. Secondly, why was the driver trying to overtake him? The driver climbed faster and faster. Keisuke felt the need to match up to the driver. Inside the black EK 9, Rei chuckled. Keisuke was hilarious. He could never resist a challenge. A bit like Ryosuke. But Keisuke was so hot headed! She stepped on the pedal harder. Keisuke was utterly bewildered. This crazy person was not only good, he was fantastic. He never realized that here in Akagi, there were people besides the Redsuns or even Project D that could be better than him. He was bewildered, but happily bewildered. He'd found someone to play with! The person could know the roads any better than he did, but the person adapted well. In the end, the EK 9 was neck to neck with the FD, but suddenly, with one fluid three-point turn, went downhill instead. Rei laughed. She knew she could beat Keisuke, but she simply didn't want to. Keisuke hadn't chased after her. She knew he wondered what the EK 9 driver was doing and thinking. Rei smiled and headed home for lunch.

Ryosuke had been eating lunch at the dining room when Keisuke suddenly stormed in. Quite unfortunately, he was eating spaghetti. ' Aniki! An EK 9 on Mt Akagi!' It was answered with a choke and coughing sounds.

' Sorry!'

' I'm fine. What did you just say?'

' I was driving uphill on Mt Akagi this morning.' Ryosuke nodded.

' Suddenly, a black EK 9 appears behind me, and starts accelerating. It looked like he wanted to overtake me.' Ryosuke chewed thoughtfully. Keisuke suddenly quietened. Ryosuke looked at him.

' And?'

' It was a tough fight. We were neck to neck when suddenly; the EK 9 did a swift three-point turn and went downhill. You know, Aniki, the EK 9 is good. The person could overtake me. But oddly enough, he didn't.' the last part was said with a bit of confusion and grimace. Ryosuke wondered who the EK 9 was. The driver must be superb to seem able to defeat Keisuke. Who and why was the EK 9 doing this?
