XXXXXXChapter 6XXXXXX
Kagura woke up with a horrid crick in her neck from sleeping on Sango's loveseat. She never thought that she'd miss the lumpy couch that was in her garage but now it seemed like a very comfortable alternative. After a few moments the young woman managed to lift herself off the couch and make her way towards the kitchen where Sango was finishing her breakfast. "Hey wondering when you would wake up," Sango said as she put her dish in the small sink that was in the kitchen. "So what shop is your car at?"
"Do you know this old perverted fart named Totosai?" the ruby-eyed woman asked as she cracked and popped some of her joints. "That old pos car is in his shop."
"Sounds like you don't like it too much," Sango stated with a small smirk. "I mean it can't be that bad can it? And yeah I know the old perv."
"Let's just say it almost cost me my life and I've only raced the hunk of crap once," Kagura growled remembering how the car almost rolled for no reason at all. "But at the very least it should be fixed by now."
"Well anyway I'll take you there to pick up your car," the brown eyed woman said as she picked her keys up off of the counter. "You'll owe me that's all"
"Seems like I'm getting deep into debt with everyone in this city," Kagura sighed shrugging as she walked to Sango's GTO.

Kagura got out of the GTO and closed the door, stretching her legs a little. "Thanks for the ride Sango. I owe you one!!" the ruby-eyed woman called out as the purple and teal Pontiac pulled away from the shop and sped down the road. So far Kagura was feeling rather well today. She was somewhat used to sleeping uncomfortably so the soreness this morning didn't bother her that much, and she would finally have a decent car again since that old fart was supposed to fix the Neon. Her food might have gone bad but the young woman had saved a few hundred so she could buy some more groceries later. "Hey you old bag of bones you in here?" the woman yelled as she opened the door, spilling light into the dark shop.
"Close the damn door," the aging man's voice called out from somewhere deep in the shop. Kagura growled and mumbled some curses as she stepped into the shop and slammed the door with all of her might. She allowed her eyes to adjust for a few moments before she ventured into the shop. The fist thing the woman noticed was her freshly painted car with some brand new tires ready to be used and burnt up.
"I see you fixed up my car," the woman said as she ran her hand over the hood of the car. The new paint job was about three or four shades more red than violet with a series of streaks running along the sides of the car. "What all did you put in her?"
"Nothing," Totosai said as he came into the shop scratching his bald head. "The thing is in worse shape than I thought."
"What the hell do you mean?" Kagura asked looking at the ancient man, ready to lash out at him for no particular reason. "It looks fine so just what the hell is wrong with it?"
"Honestly there's nothing wrong with any one part of it but…" the old man trailed off trying to find the right words to express his views.
"But as a whole is a screaming metal death trap, right?" Kagura sighed knowing that the machine was trying to kill her.
"Bingo," the gray haired man said with a chuckle before shutting up after receiving a glare from the moody woman. "At any rate I saved your groceries and left the case with thirteen thousand in the car. You can get the groceries out of my cold room yourself."
"Fine!" Kagura spat at the man stomping off towards the back of the shop, not knowing at all where the cold room was.

Kagura had spent that last few hours in her safe house putting away groceries and trying to see just what had been jacked up with the car when she decided to give up and just curse the car gods for now. She had just finished eating a large bowl of chicken flavored ramen when she noticed a beeping noise coming from her car. "Must be that damn comm. system thing," she muttered as she went to her car and hit a button next to the installed screen. A message from Sesshoumaru came up on the screen saying:
Kagura. You're at the bottom of the racing world in this town. You'll have to make your way up from the bottom. You'll be able to get race info off of this screen to find races or you can stumble upon them yourself. Your call.
Sesshoumaru
"Well thanks for the help jack ass," Kagura growled angered at her crappy car. And unfortunately for her one of the two only good ways to get de-stressed and calm down was to race and she sure as hell wasn't in the mood for her other calming technique. "Well might as well try and go win myself some money," the woman growled as she sat down into the driver's seat and backed out of her garage.
The woman began to drive down the road a bit when she decided that checking the map system on the new device in her car for a race was the best idea. She managed to quickly bring up the map and found a near by race. "Well it looks like the racers there are near the bottom like me. Unfortunately for them I wasn't at the bottom in my old town," the woman said with an evil chuckle.
After about ten minuets of driving the woman arrived at the starting line of the race where two other cars were waiting. "Hey you gonna race us?" a male voice came over her comm. system. "It's about time!!" another male voice said. Both were somewhat nasally and rather annoying. The two cars were equally offensive as well. The first was a VW Golf GTI which was painted a burnt orange and had yellow flame vinyls coming from the bottom of the car. The second was a Fiat Punto which had a matching pain job. Both cars had the same hood, which had what looked like a large section of it raised in the middle with a thin line down separating the section into two smaller sections, and spoilers, which was a large triple wing spoiler that came off of the back of the cars roof.
"Just who the hell are you two?" Kagura growled as he pulled up in between the two horrid looking cars.
"We're Ginta," one of the
men said while revving the Golf.
"And Hakkakuthe other one said revving the Punto's engine. "And we
race for Kouga's Wolf-pack!!" they both announced at the same
time.
"Well you two jack offs are about to loose for your boss," Kagura said revving her engine feeling the whole car shake. She let out a mixture of a sigh and a growl reminding her self that the car was ready to break apart at any moment. All three cars revved up their engines as the count down began on the comm. screen. Once the counter hit 'GO' all three cars flew off the line like bats out of hell. Kagura immediately began to take the lead and began to feel superior until she felt something smack into her car.
As the woman looked back she noticed that the Golf had clipped her tail end and was trying to spin her out. "So these ass holes wanna play rough now," the she grumbled getting ready to slam the VW back when the Punto hit her other side. "Damn it!" she yelled trying to keep the car steady.
"Is this a little too much for the little lady?" the one called Ginta asked over the comm. system as he shunted the woman harshly.
"Go screw yourselves!!" Kagura yelled as she tried to pull away from the other two racers. "These bastards are gonna end up killing me if I don't do something soon," the red-eyed woman thought as she pushed back against the VW which was coming up on her left, which wasn't working too well due to the fact that the Golf was bigger than her crappy little Neon. "Screw it, this isn't worth my life," Kagura snarled mentally as she got ready to pull out of the race when she got an idea.
The young woman quickly hit the nitrous button on her car sending it flying ahead of the other two cars sending them into each other. "You bitch we'll get you back for that!!" Hakkaku yelled over the comm. as he and Ginta pulled away from each other.
"Try me wolf boy," Kagura taunted as she quickly pulled on the hand break sending her into a drifting slide around the corner. The two men, enraged by the woman's taunting and the fact that she got away from them, both hit their nitrous buttons and flew around the corner. As they came out of the turn both men were horrified to see that the woman driving the Dodge had knocked down scaffolding off of a building and onto the road ahead of them.
"Ahhhh!!" Kagura heard coming from over the comm. as she saw the Punto and Golf crash head on into the steel scaffolding that littered the road. "That's what you get for smashing up my car!" she taunted as she crossed what was supposed to be the finish line. The ruby-eyed woman smirked as she saw a message come up saying she had won two thousand dollars. It wasn't much but it was indeed a start.
