Savannah had already had multiple conversations with people in both English and Japanese about cars, she milled around aimlessly listening to the music and admiring the cars when all of a sudden the overwhelming sensation of someone watching fell upon her. Savannah turned around to see the masterpiece which was the RX-7 and Han leaning against it. She gave him a smile and a wave before she turned around and continued on her walk.
Han watched as Savannah disappeared into the crowd a smile playing on his lips. There was something unique about her, she understood what his car meant to him and every time she looked at him it was as if she could see into his very core.
Han had become bored; he had been on the straight and narrow for far too long. After he lost Gisele he had come back to Tokyo and filled his time with cars and women but now it wasn't enough, he chuckled to himself and went off to find where the rest of his crew had got to.
Kayleigh was happily laughing and joking with Neela and Reiko until the subject of her and Savannah came up.
"So what brings you two to Japan?" Twinkie piped up, sitting in the passenger seat of his Hulk inspired Volkswagen Touran.
"Erm well, that is a question for Savannah more than me, I came with her so she wouldn't have to be alone." Kayleigh informed the group.
"Do you race?" Sean asked from behind Neela, his arms around his girlfriend.
"Not really, racing has always been Savannah's thing, I mean don't get me wrong I can hold my own." Kayleigh shrugged.
"So you are more of a girly girl. How did you and Savannah become such good friends?" Reiko wondered.
"Well, I'm actually from England, my mum and dad spilt up when my brothers and I were younger, my mum and me ended up moving to the states for a fresh start, I ended up at the same school as Savvy, I got picked on and bullied a lot because of my accent, and Savvy stuck up for me." Kayleigh explained.
"And she's been following me around ever since, I've tried to get rid of her but nothing works." Savannah teased as she strode over to the group with a smile.
"Well, what can I say I'm a sucker for a knight in shining armour, wasn't expecting you to appear any time soon." Kayleigh giggled, giving an exaggerated shocked expression.
"Well, I didn't want you to think I had gone into, wait what do you call it again?" Savannah asked trying to think of the joke Kayleigh had come up with a few years ago.
"A car coma. That aside I thought this was a race meet, looks like a normal car meet to me." Kayleigh observed looking around at all the parked cars.
"This is where we race." A voice said from behind both Kayleigh and Savannah. Kayleigh turned around to find Han smirking at her.
"Wait, you're telling me you race in a car park?" She asked in disbelief. Everyone including Savannah burst out laughing causing Kayleigh to puff out her cheeks and pouted.
"Why don't we show you, Twinkie go find our DK a challenger." Han smiled at Kayleigh who was still looking rather confused.
It didn't take long for Twinkie to find a challenger for Sean. Sean's highly modified bright red Evo was lined up against a deep purple Nissan Silvia S14 which was also highly modified.
"Who would you put your money on?" Han asked Savannah as they stood on the sidelines. Savannah watched both drivers carefully, she knew full well that the Silvia S14 was more than capable of taking on Sean's Evo but the better question was, was the driver?
"The driver of the S14 is nervous and inexperienced, look at the way he is gripping the steering wheel, and his face tells me he knows the ins and outs of drifting and had practised but this is his first race." Savannah observed the driver of the Silvia closely.
"Under the right driver the S14 could be the car I'd pick, but the driver's telling me different, so I'd go with Sean." Savannah concluded. Han was left speechless, no wonder he had a naked feeling when ever Savannah looked at him, her ability to read people was incredible.
Han looked at Savannah and could see a sparkle in her deep brown eyes, there was something about them, that he could just stare at them all night.
"You're going to miss the start of the race." Savannah smirked as Han snapped his attention back to the cars, when Kayleigh appear on the other side of Savannah arms crossed.
"I still don't get it." She sighed causing Savannah to chuckle.
"Drifting Kay, it's a drift race." Savannah said, finally putting her best friend out of her misery.
Savannah let out a laugh when she looked over at Kayleigh, the look on her face was that of a eureka moment, she turned her attention back to the cars as they began to rev their engines in a sign that they were ready.
It wasn't long before the cars squealed of the start line and sped off for the first corner. Savannah watched the cars speed around the corner sideways, the tyres squeal in protest and kicking up grey clouds of smoke.
She stood locked to the spot as the Evo disappeared around the corner followed by the Silvia. The crowd of spectators ran off towards the elevator and stairs. Savannah looked at Kayleigh a big grin on her face, Kayleigh returned her expression with a smile of her own.
"I know your happy and all that, but what's the big deal you can do that." Kayleigh shrugged.
"Yes I can drift, but not continuously, I'd end up spinning out in the third corner." Savannah said as she headed towards the elevators which were now deserted. Kayleigh shook her head with a smile. Han watched the girls exchange quietly, once Savannah was inside the elevator and the doors closed behind her, he turned his full attention towards Kayleigh.
"What's Savannah's story? She seems to look at the world differently to other people." Han probed, Kayleigh gave him a sad smile.
"I can't say anything, it's her story to tell, and you will just have to ask her." Kayleigh gave Han an apologetic look.
"Why is it I get the feeling she won't give it up willingly." Han chuckled, Kayleigh shrugged.
"She won't it's too painful for her but if you really want to know figure out a way to get her to tell you without pushing." Kayleigh gave a smirk of her own and nodded to the parked cars all around them as a hint before heading off to find Savannah.
Han laughed to himself at Kayleigh's words and hint, the next question was how he would get Savannah to agree to a race especially as she didn't think she was a good enough drifter.
He pulled out his phone and sent a mass text to Sean and the gang, telling them about a change of location, before they went to the after race party.
Han smiled as he knew the perfect place for an ordinary street race, after a minute or two he made his way to the elevator and up to the roof, where the race would end, he had no doubt that the race had finished by now and that Sean had been the victor.
