(Kyoko proceeded home in her FD and immediately called up Keisuke)
"Keisuke-kun…can I come, you know, watch your battle?" Kyoko asked her darling cutely that night
"Hai Hai, sure anything's fine with me, as long as you don't get hurt." He answered with his smooth-talk voice
"Yay!" she said acting like a kid "See you tomorrow Keisuke-kun… love you" she said gently as she closed the phone.
"Oi Aniki! What's this trash talk about your ex?" Keisuke said waking his older brother up, who had gone to sleep on his computer-chair
"Huh what?" Ryosuke asked as heglared coldly at Keisuke with anger for waking him.
"Never mind…" Keisuke grumbled back
"Sometimes I wonder myself why he always acts like that." Ryosuke suddenly said to himself
ring ring…ring ring…ring ring…
"Not the phone again" Ryosuke thought to himself
"Mushi Mushi?" Ryosuke answered "What? Is that so? All right. Bye."
Mt. Akina"This is how you do it." Akira started explaining to her partner Hikaru who was sitting beside her in the drivers seat "You follow the racing line at the start of the race, as you get to the third hairpin you have to overtake on the outside by braking late, because I know that the 86 is going to use the gutter again. And, don't forget, when you get to the outward part, do me a favor and close your lights" She finished
"Alright." He answered as she drifted outward
"As for Ryosuke's Little brother…I've got plans of my own." She smirked
"By the way… I was wondering… What happened to you and Ryosuke?" he asked
"Well, he was, in a word, everything. He was everything I ever dreamed of." She explained "I knew he was way out of my league, so, I just figured it would never work…" she sighed " I was going to tell him that it would never work that night, but, he actually told me first."
"Oh… That sounds a lot like Iketani's Story… about him and Mako." Hikaru said
"That SpeedStars Dude? Yeah, he did have a thing with Mako… but… he blew it." She explained once more
"He was one lucky guy."
The S2000 reached the end of the touge and proceeded to the small shop"why don't you go practice, I'll just have a drink." She ordered
"Sure will." Hikaru answered as he jogged to his EG6
"Espresso please." She asked the young man behind the counter
"Alright, coming up." He said brewing a cup and handing it to her
"Sheesh, what does a girl have to do to stay awake." She mumbled "Oh, look, its Ryosuke's team, finally…" she said drinking everything at once
Akira walked out of the shop and shook hands with Ryosuke"Lets end this now." She announced
"Alright." Ryosuke smiled
END.
