Ok, here's chap number one. I'm giving you a little warning. Some chaps have more dialogues than others, and there will be quite the number of chapters before any action taking place. Mainly, because I need to put every single character in place, introducing them and what role each is playing here. In the meantime, you get to know them!
Anyway! Hope you like it!!!!!
Enjoy! As usual, R&R!

Half an hour later, both girls were sitting on the booths by he counter, at a dinner in town. They were having some coffee and some nice french toast as a late breakfast, and just killing time until they could go back to the car shop to know what exactly was wrong with their car.
"This seems like a nice town" Minako commented, while looking at a tourist leaflet she had in her hands "It says here they have a river near by, and it's suppose to be a really nice place, with all the mountains around and all. Maybe we could stay a couple of days and check it out"
"Sure, whatever" Michiru answered her, not really paying attention "This was a bad idea..."
"Oh, come on!" Minako exclaimed "It's just a small car problem! We've been driving around for over a month now, and it's been great! Right?" she saw her friend nodding her head "We're having fun, knowing new places, enjoying our summer, and we are far, far away from the city and that stupid dick head!"
"I know, I know... I still think you didn't have to give up your apartment just because..."
"Look, he was an ass to you, and so he was an ass to me too, ok?" Minako interrupted her "Besides, I rather spend my time with you on some crazy road trip, than with him and his buddies crushing at all hours and drinking beer in front of the Play Station and watching porn!"
A tall man took a sit two booths away from the aquamarine haired beauty, elbows resting on the counter and looking right at the girls. He had a nice shaved beard, a black baseball hat on his head, and what must be a seductive smile on his face.
"Hi, there, ladies" he said.
Minako looked at Michiru, and both girls rolled their eyes, ignoring him. The guy kept on talking to them, inviting them to join him on some trip or the other, but they were just ignoring him as best as they could.
"We can have so much fun together" he was saying "Just the three of us"
A tall, short blonde haired man with deep coffee eyes, cleaning a glass with is apron, approached the guy from behind the counter "Hey, don't bother my costumers" he said, with a warning glare on his handsome face.
"Chill, dude, I'm just talking to them" the guy said "Right, girls? We're just talking"
"I think he's drunk" Michiru whispered on her friend's ear.
Minako just nodded her head, not looking at the guy at all.
The sound of the door bells announced the arrival of a new costumer, and the young man behind the counter smiled up. He went to grab the coffee pot, and put a plastic cup on the counter.
"Your usual, coming right up" he said to the new costumer.
Both girls turned around in time to see a tall blonde woman just standing by the door, who by all means seemed to be enjoying the cooled air inside the dinner.
In fact, she was trying not to melt down. The small walk between her parked car right across the street and into the dinner –a walk that couldn't be longer than twenty steps- and the heated sun, had made her incredibly hot. So, yes, she was enjoying the magic of modern inventions and air conditioner.
She took her sunglasses off, making them rest on the top of her head, and taking her bangs out of her eyes in the process. Her green eyes smiling at the young man behind the counter. She had short blonde hair, and the white sweatshirt she was wearing hugged her curves perfectly. Her cargo pants, hanging low on her hips, gave her a confident, strong appearance, and she moved as if she owned the place.
"Thanks, Toki" the tall blonde woman said, in a deep, husky voice that somehow complemented her perfectly.
She rested her elbows on the counter, right next to the aquamarine haired girl, long fingers playing with the sugar as she patiently waited for her coffee.
"Hello, there, baby girl" a male voice said next to the blonde's ear, a hand now resting on her hips "Wanna go for a ride with me, sugar babe?"
The blonde didn't answered. Instead, she looked up at the blonde man behind the counter, her own blonde eyebrow going up. But the man just gave her an amused smiled and shook his head. So, she turned around, elbows still resting on the counter, and the hand still resting on her hips. She looked down at said hand, and then up at its owner.
"You better keep your hands to yourself, here" she simply said.
"Oh, come on, sugar" insisted the guy with the baseball hat, his hand caressing the skin right under the edge of the blonde's sweatshirt. His head pointing outside, to a black sport car parked there.
"I'm warning you" the blonde said again, looking completely relaxed.
"I know how chicks go all crazy with my ride" he said, now getting closer to her, showing his best seductive smile. But before he could get any closer, the blonde grabbed his hand with one of hers, and twisted it back, crushing his fingers in the process.
"Not this one" she said, as the guy let out a scream of pain.
The blonde let his hand go before she could actually break any bones. She then took her plastic coffee cup, put her sunglasses back on, and started making her way out.
"Good seeing you, Toki" she called out, not turning around but waving her hand.
"My pleasure!" he exclaimed, smiling, as the blonde woman got out of the place and across the street, towards her own car.
"Are you gonna let her treat me like that?" the guy asked him, nursing his hand.
He shook his shoulders "You started it. And she did warn you" the blonde man answered "So, yeah, I think I'll do just that"
The guy murmured something under his breath, and took off, leaving behind an amused blonde man behind the counter, two surprised girls, and a bunch of unsurprised, untouched costumers. They were all used to the blonde's strength, and they all knew better than to mess with her.
And they all respected her, so no one really cared about an outsider guy anyway.
Minako turned to her friend "Oh my God!" she exclaimed, smiling "That girl just became my number one hero!" she said, pointing with her finger at the general direction of the dinner's entry door. "Did you see that move?"
The blonde man behind the counter smiled at her "That's Haruka Tenoh for you" he said, in a proud manner.
Michiru looked up at him, frowning "Tenoh? Like that car racer?" she asked "Is she related to him or something?"
The men laughed at her "Him?" he asked, still laughing "Honey, there's no him. That is the car racer. The one and only!" he exclaimed.
Michiru's eyes went wide open, her jaw almost hitting the counter. And her friend laughed at her, hard.
"Holly crap, Michiru!" she exclaimed "You have the hots for a girl!"
"I do not!" she defended herself, blushing. Oh my God, she said to herself, I'm obsessed with a woman!
"She's been crazy about that Tenoh racer for three months now" Minako said to the young man behind the counter "Like a teenager with a crush!"
"Shut up!" Michiru exclaimed, blushing even more. But I'm not... like that...
"Hey, I don't blame you!" the man exclaimed, smiling at the blushing aquamarine haired girl "She's hot stuff!" he exclaimed "And, who knows? Maybe you'll be luckier than our fellow here" he added, smiling.
