Vroom, Vroom

Natsuki cut off a Volvo on the interstate and continued to eat up the distance between her and the truck in front of her. Suddenly, from her side-view mirror she saw a fiery red Ferrari tailgating the SUV on the lane next to hers. The SUV smartly moved aside for the Ferrari to pass.

Oh, no you don't. Natsuki thought as she moved to take the SUV's place in front of the seemingly angry Ferrari. Smirking, Natsuki let out a puff of gas from her bike as she accelerated pass the truck. The Ferrari accelerated as well and Natsuki felt the Ferrari closing in on her fast. Natsuki cut another car off, then another, but the Ferrari followed her perfectly. Surprised, Natsuki smiled as she saw a little more traffic ahead of her. I gotta reach it before the damn car catches up to me, Natsuki crouched low against her bike and pushed her bike a little faster; however, the Ferrari seemed to have figured out her plan. It accelerated to mere inches from her back wheel, which made Natsuki sweat a little. Then it deftly switched lanes and almost instantly cut Natsuki off. With very little distance between them and incoming traffic, Natsuki tried to change lanes, but the Ferrari always moved just enough to stop her from cutting it off. At the last second before hitting the traffic of cars, the Ferrari spun to a complete stop. Natsuki barely skidded to a halt in front of the Ferrari which was now parked horizontally across the interstate.

"Ara, ara what do we have here?" Shizuru mused to herself with an index finger pressed against her cheek in thought.

"Please…no more...please." the skinny young man gasped in between breaths. Thanking God he's still alive.

Natsuki tried to bore holes into the car with her glare. Hmphing loudly, she started up her bike again and drove around the Ferrari. "Damn rich-asses. "

"Taekawa-san, what do you say we go back to the dealership and seal the deal? I rather like this car." Shizuru smiled as she watched the biker in the cute blue jumpsuit drive around her.

8:00 PM

The moonlight rebounded off of Natsuki's helmet as she rode out of the gas station with a full tank of gas and a stomach full of mayo-covered hotdogs. After a riding a short distance, she parked her bike outside of her humble apartment. Under the annoying, flickering street light, Natsuki opened the squeaky gate of the complex and walked up the equally creaky wooden steps to her apartment. Careful to avoid the second to the last step of the stairs, Natsuki shuffled away the dead leaves in front of her door. With no light on the second floor, Natsuki fumbled with her keys until she found the right one to unlock the door. Upon opening and entering her room, she quickly took off her shoes and her jumpsuit.

"Ah, feels so good to be home." Natsuki said to herself as she fell into the couch that was covered in clothes and magazines, clad in only her undergarments. Hm…I wonder who that rich-ass was driving that awesome looking Ferrari. If only my bike was faster, I'd like to have another go. After a few minutes of idle pondering, Natsuki got up and walked over some more clothes and console games before reaching her closet. What should I wear tonight… she thought as she shifted through a small rack of tight-fitting shirts, tank-tops, and pants. Ah! This should do. Grabbing a familiar body-hugging black suit patterned with red on the side and at the shoulders, Natsuki dressed herself and stood in front of the mirror, scrutinizing her appearance. It's been so long since I've put this on...the last time was in back high school, wasn't it, Mai? Natsuki leaned her forehead against the cool glass and closed her eyes.

"Natsuki! Do you really have to drive so fast?" Mai whined playfully.

"You think this is fast?" Natsuki challenged as she stood up and mashed the buttons of the N64 controller.

"Nooooo!!!" Mai cried dramatically as she leaned back against the foot of the bed and pretended to faint from the defeat.

"Hehehe," chuckling, Natsuki leaned over toward Mai and smiled in triumph. Mai opened her eyes slightly and suddenly pulled Natsuki down on top of her. "Whoa!" Natsuki exclaimed as she steadied herself with one hand on the edge of the bed and one hand on Mai's shoulder. With only an inch between each others' lips Natsuki whispered, "Mai…" Natsuki closed her eyes and leaned in…and then she heard an indistinguishable sound, almost like a gurgling. Taken aback, Natsuki leaned away and stared at Mai who was apparently having a hard time silencing her giggles. Giving up, Mai laughed so hard she was slamming the floor with one hand and holding her stomach with the other.

"Hahaha, I'm so sorry Natsuki." She said in between breaths, "I had to take you down somehow. Can't let you beat me in EVERYTHING."

"Mai…" Natsuki grumbled angrily as she slowly felt her face turn purple from embarrassment and anger.

"Aw, is Natsuki upset?" Mai cooed as she got up and took Natsuki's face between her soft hands. She covered Natsuki with delicate petals of kisses. Some landed on her forehead, some her cheeks, but most were on her lips. "Better?"

"Cheater." Natsuki could never stay mad at Mai when she did that.
