I do not own any anime or any video games….
Red Mountain, 8:37 pm.
With Andrew…
"Huh, the three-two has disappeared!" I said looking in the rearview, "He was behind me a few minutes ago, did he stop or spun out?"
I couldn't really look around because it was extremely dark, the headlights on my ride were the only way that I could see what was in front of me.
Suddenly I heard a noise to the left side of me; I look and saw lights' coming back on, it was the lights from Deangelo's three-two.
"Goddamn, he pulled a blind attack!" I said as Deangelo fully overtook me from the outside, Deangelo managed to take the lead after we drift around the seventeenth corner.
"Shit!"
I put the car in forth gear staying right close to him on the straightaways, but every time I tried to attack him from either the outside or the inside he would block me, "Damn, he's good," I said, "This dude is really good."
I was staying right on him, not letting him out of my sight; he couldn't shake me because my car is slightly faster than his three-two.
Turn after turn we kept making our was up to the top of Red Mountain, and Deangelo's concentration was through the roof, he tries to pull away on the high speed corners but I easily keep up with him on the straightaways.
And Deangelo wasn't gonna let me pass at all, every time I moved he moved also, "For a heavy car, Deangelo is driving the three-two like it's a light weight haichi-roku (AE86)."
We went around the final turn eventually going across the finish line, people started to cheer as Deangelo drove into the parking lot.
With Deangelo….
I let out a huge sigh of relief as I got out of the car, "Well that's two down and one more to go." I said, my brother Sai Saici approached me with some info about Senna's race.
"Deangelo, Senna managed to beat Shuhei, we're going to face off against SOS next Friday." He said.
I smiled and gave a nod, "So it seems like you gotten a little bit used to the Evo IV, huh Senna?"
After the race was over I pretty much spent most of my time hanging out with Sakura and her two teammates, trying to get a chance to know them, surprisingly Shion told me that she used to know Naruto when they were little kids.
Seems like she has a crush on my brother because all the time we were talking about him she was blushing, I even showed a picture of Naruto all grown up, which made her blush even more.
"So I heard that Sasuke and Naruto used to be your teammates," I told Sakura, "So tell me, what made them split?"
"Naruto left the team after what happened to Hinata," She answered, "Sasuke left because he wanted to start his own car crew, speaking of Hinata, does Naruto still have the car?"
"Yeah he still got Hinata's ride, its back at the garage covered up, he doesn't want anybody riding in the car unless it's him."

Druid Hills, 11:30 am.
With Deangelo, Sai Saici, and Sai…
"What about this one?" Sai said showing us a drawing that he did, it was a drawing of a skull that had a snake coiled around it.
"Eh I don't think Senna wants that as a vinyl." Sai Saici said.
"Okay, what about this one?" the gothic kid said.
Sai showed another drawing this time it was a tribal drawing and it had flames, "Eh it's a little too…...graphic, let's just stick with the autumn leaves for now." I said.
"Well okay, but if you guys want custom made vinyl's or tattoos, just let me know."
"Okay once we're done with straightening out the roof and the doors, then we'll put on the body kit, Deangelo when did the people say that the engine was gonna get here?" Sai Saici asked.
"They say that it should be here in the next eight to ten days or so." I answered.
Suddenly I heard the sound of an engine outside of the garage, at first I thought it was Nuchu and his lieutenants, that is until we walked outside and saw that it wasn't.
There were three cars outside one of the vehicles was a Toyota Altezza (Lexus IS300 in the USA), it was dark blood red and had a carbon fiber hood, a body kit from Wings West, black 19 inch rims from Sparco, dark black tinted windows, a custom spoiler that was colored black and red, and custom headlights and taillights.
The IS300 also had the Sunagakure symbol on the front hood of the car and also a JDM expert badge on the side of the car, there was another car to the left of the Altezza, it was a 2005 Pontiac GTO.
The GTO was colored black and had 18 inch rims from Volk, the windows were also colored black and it had a body kit from Seibon, it had a spoiler that was also colored black and it also had custom headlights and taillights.
The GTO also had a vinyl of a puppet on both sides; to the right of the Toyota Altezza was a Honda NSX, I almost couldn't tell because it had a Wings West body kit that made it look like a cross combination between a Saleen S7 and a Corvette.
The NSX was also colored black and it had a vinyl of a fan on both sides along with rose petals swirling around it, the car also had 20 inch rims from BBS.
"So they're finally here," I said, "The last time I raced against them was back in early 2007."
"And the last time Naruto and I have seen them was back in the 90's." Sai Saici said.
All three drivers got out of their rides; the person who was driving the IS300 was a male who was somewhat the same height as Sai Saici, he had pale skin, spiky brick-red colored hair, sea foam green eyes and the pupils in his eyes were mostly invisible.
He also had no eyebrows and also has tanuki-like black eye rings, he's had these since he was born, he also has a tattoo on the left side of his forehead it was a kanji that meant "Love" (愛).
He was wearing a red colored t-shirt, solid black baggy jean pants, black/red colored high top Fila shoes, and a red hoodie that had the Kanji airbrushed on the back of it.
The person that was driving the NSX was a girl, she had blonde hair that was tied in four pigtails, she also had blue/greenish colored eyes.
She was wearing a light pink shirt, black pants, some light pink/white colored New Balance shoes and a silver bracelet on her right wrist.
And finally the person who was driving behind the GTO was also a boy; he had short spiky black hair and black eyes, he was wearing a striped polo shirt, long baggy shorts, and a South Pole hoodie.
It was Gaara, Temari and Kankuro, Sunagakure's top professional racers; these three have won numerous of rally races, especially in the Baja.
Gaara walked towards us while his brother and sister stayed where they were, I walked up towards Gaara while Sai Saici and Sai stayed behind also.
Both Gaara and I stopped just a few inches in front of each other; both of us had our arms crossed over our chest looking at each other eye to eye with a frown on both of our faces.
Everyone was extremely quiet that is until Garra said something, "Deangelo…."
"Gaara…" I replied back, "You haven't changed at all have you?"
Gaara started to smile as he reached out and shook my hand, "I see you haven't neither." He chuckled.
"Shikamaru told me that you guys were coming down here," Sai Saici said, "It's good to see you man, I see that you're driving in a Lexus IS300."
"You mean a Japan Toyota Altezza," Gaara corrected, "I'm not really a Lexus kind of guy, cramps a homeboy's style."
"Huh, the Gaara that I raced used to drive Toyota Soarer (Lexus SC300 in the USA)," I said, "The Kankuro that I knew used to drive 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT and the Temari that I knew used to have an Enzo Ferrari."
"Yeah we had to change it up a little bit," Temari said, "The competition was getting pretty tough."
Everybody continued their conversation inside of the garage while Kankuro and I went around the backyard area to check out some car parts for his GTO, "Deangelo what in the hell?" he said looking at the RX-7, "Whose ricer does that belong to?"
"That car belongs to my brother Sai Saici." I answered opening up a box.
"Oh no, not him too, another person whose into rice rockets. Oh the humanity."
"Yo you better be careful saying the word 'ricer' or 'rice rocket' around Sai Saici, he doesn't take too kindly to that. In his eyes those words are like racial slurs to import tuners."
"Whatever, I'm very glad that you're not driving one of them."
"Dude I own a few tuners myself."
Kankuro gasped in shock, "Oh god, not you too."
"Yeah believe it bro, but even though I own and drive import tuners I still love muscle cars, I used to have the same mentality that you have, I always thought that tuners sucked and American muscle cars rocked. But my prejudice and my views about tuners totally changed thanks to my dad."
"He beat you in a tuner?" Kankuro asked.
"Yeah he did," I answered, "He challenged me into a one on one drift, he was driving my uncle's RX-7 (FC3S) and I was driving in my 69' Dodge Charger, to make the long story short I lost the race, that's when my dad got me behind the wheel of the FC and started to teach me how to drift. He said that I needed to expand my horizon because the Midnight Club was starting to let in other cars of different classes into the organization, maybe that's what you probably need to do, expand your horizon and get behind the wheel of a tuner."
"I would rather eat a box of thumb tacks than to get behind the wheel of a tuner." Kankuro said.
Patten Park, 11:41 am.
With Deangelo…..
"Come on Deangelo, how long is it gonna be?" Senna whined impatiently, "I'm really starting to miss my RSX; I want to drive a car with RWD again."
"Just give us about another week or two," I replied, "In the meantime just keep on driving the Evo 4, so far you're doing a real good job, you've gotten used to it almost."
"Can I at least see how far you guys have gotten?" Senna asked.
"No you cannot." Sai Saici answered.
Senna pouted at my brothers' answer; meanwhile I headed over to where Nuchu, Choji, and Shikamaru were chilling out at.
Choji had the trunk of his Honda Prelude wide open and the music was blasting through the speakers, he was playing "This is how we do" by 50 Cent and The Game.
Shikamaru was spending some time with his girlfriend Temari (which caught me by surprise when Temari told me her and Shikamaru were an item), Nuchu was checking out somebody's silver colored Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 that had blue neon lights and blue stripes going from the hood to the trunk.
There was a lot of activity going on inside the abandoned school as usual; the Visoreds were there also some of them were hanging outside.
"So Deangelo, are you ready for tonight?" Choji asked sitting inside of his Honda prelude.
"Yeah, Nuchu and I are doing a downhill battle, I'm not gonna use the Mustang this time." I answered.
"Why not?"
"Nuchu's Toyota Supra has a twin turbo V12 engine, that damn car is practically an exotic, instead I'm gonna drive my dad's Aston Martin DB9."
"Racing in the downhill in an exotic?" Choji asked.
"Dude don't worry about it," I replied, "Sai Saici and I put some stiffer suspensions and put some Faulken tires on it, but all in all the Aston Martin has about a good 500 horsepower."
Choji and I looked up and saw Hiyori drag racing against somebody on a Ducati sports bike; the biker really didn't stand a chance against the vicious street racer.
Things were pretty cool around here, the temperature was quite pleasant, usually at night time it would be straight up cold since it's still winter and all.
The skies were just clear and cobalt blue, that's the kind of weather I righteously and truly like, I fell like just lying down on a park bench and taking a quick nap right now.
"What's wrong with you Choji?" I asked, noticing the expression he was making on his face.
"Yeah homeboy what's wrong?" Nuchu also said as he approached us.
"Man it's just boring as hell around here," he answered, "Why can't something exciting happen?"
Soon as Choji said those words we heard the sound that most street racers dread hearing, that was the sound of police sirens, we looked and 2001 Crown Victoria police cars coming into the area.
There was also a police helicopter that arrived in the area as well; it was a helicopter I have never really seen before.
"This is the Birmingham PD, stay where you are!" the cop in the helicopter said through the PA.
Nuchu and I just looked at Choji with a frown on both of our faces, "You just had to fuckin' say something huh Choji?" Nuchu said, Choji just sweat dropped and lowered his head.
"Shit let's go, we got to scatter before they block the exits." I said as Nuchu, Choji and I made a break for it, all the street racers in the park started to flee as polices officers were trying to take down, block, and arrest those who were being defiant.
"Shit I ain't never seen five-o be this deep like this before!" Nuchu said.
"Police, hey!" a cop said chasing after us.
"Yo Nuchu, follow me, I know a shortcut," I said, "I hope you know parkour or free-run."
"Of course I do, I've been doing it since I was a kid." He answered.
Next chapter coming up.
