"Another excellent delivery boys" Roja said
"Thanks" the two said
"And Kimura, if I'm not mistaken don't you have a coffee date with a certain surfing model?" Roja asked
"That's not until later" Kimura said
"Just remember, ya'll better be treating her like a princess, otherwise they'll be madder than a pig at an empty trough" Lucas said
"What?" Roja asked looking gobsmacked
"I think he's saying she'll be pretty mad if I let her down"
"Exactly, boys brighter than a sheriff's tin star" Lucas crowed
"Geez thanks" Kimura said as he left
"We have got to do something about your...slang" Roja said
"Sure do ma'am" Lucas said making Roja groan.
Later on Kimura waited for Kataoka outside a small coffee house he visited frequently. But something was off about him and it wasn't the other guy he had with him, no this was a bit different. It was like he had suppressed various feelings for the class rep and they were starting to bubble and boil uip to the surface and that meant that trouble could be on the horizon, especially since she could be used by Hellfireand that was the last thing he needed to see/
"Hey Justice" Kataoak said showing u[
"Oh hey Kataoka" Kimura said notching she was wearing a teal blouse, black jeans and a white overshirt. "YUou look nice" he said
"Thanks, so do you" Kataoka said
"What this old thing?"
"Hey I gave you that jacket remember" Kataoka said as she entered the shiop before Kimura.
"Couldn't be happier about that" Kimura said softly following her
"So there I am just finished my training session and I feel this draught
"Don't tell me" Kimura laughed
"Turns out my bottom had untied itself and fell off while I was working on my cutback, I guess I feel off and my board loosen one of the ties
"Wow, was anyone else there?"
"A few of my teammates" Katoka said
"Oh man, any guys?"
"I had a few male teammates during that leg of the tour. Luckily the girls had a towel and Lanie an Australian Hawaiian girl went and got the for me" Kataoka said
"Dude, I don't know how I would handle that" Kimura said
"I nearly died of embarrassment" Kataoka said shamefully
"Don't worry I don't think it would happen twice did it?" Kimura asked
"No, actually I was going for a midnight surf and I actually went topless," Kataoka blushed "What I enjoy feeling the water on my bare skin. But no one there was at the same time luckily" said said
"Good to know" Kimura said, he laughed and joked around unaware that Hellfire was watching him and smirk. Soon the couple went to depart.
"Hey listen, I have a competition tomorrow if you want to come and watch, maybe bring Lucas and Roja?" Kataoka said
"Sure, I'll see" Kimura said
"Okay, see you tomorrow" she said kissing his cheek before leaving
'Wow' Kimura thought before walking off
"So now I know what the weakness of the Ghost Rider is" Hellfire smirked.
"Oh yeah" Roja stretched wearing her usual red and white striped bikini while stretching ""This is paradise" she said looking about with Kimura
"So what are you looking for" Lucas asked
"Just seeing an old friend" Kimura said
"And next up is Megu Kataoka, who is the hot favourite for this competition, this would be her sixth victory on the circuit" the announcer said making everyone cheer out loud as the young surfer paddled out and saw the, she took off on the wave and started to do aerials, cutbacks, 180s and then to finish off her turn she rode the crest of a barrel. The crowd was going wild when Kataoka slowly coasted in on the small crest of the wave. Looking around she saw she had once again grabbed the top score.
"And Megu Kataoka has taken the top spot once again. Mean she moves on to the final round" the announcer said making everyone loudly cheer
"That gal's good" Luca said
"That she is" Kimura said
"So shall we congratulate her?" Roja asked
"Sure why not" Lucas said as the trio walked over to where the surfer was
"Good session out there" Roja said , it was kinda easy" Kataoka said
'But hey, a win's a win right?" Kimura said
"Yeah I guess, hold on the finals are in five minutes" Kataoka said
"Okay we'll leave you alone and allow you to get ready" Roja said as the trio walked off, and Kimura was softly smiling.
Once the finals were over and Kataoka won she was going to walk back to her dwelling with the trophy in her bag. She needed a long hot shower and a cup of tea. She knew it would be safer on the bus, but the evening was cool and she enjoyed the walk home. Once she did get she walked in, dropped her swim bag and placed the trophy on the shelf, before walking over to the bathroom and turning on the hot water, she then walked into the laundry and stripped down and walked back into the shower and relished the feeling of the hot water on her skin.
"Today was another good day, but it was even better that Kimura was there" she said as she leant against the wall smiling at the thoughts of the fastest class-E student from the past as she splashed the warm and relaxing water onto her face as she grabbed her tropical fruits body wash and started to scrub away what residue was left on her skin from teh salty sea water. What Kataoka didn't know was outside her apartment block waiting to strike was Hellfire.
"Come to me my pretty" he said
"That was an awesome day" Lucas said as he cleaned up the shop
"I know" Roja said "And I bet Kimura enjoyed the view more"
"What do you?" Kimura asked
"Oh please, you have the major hots for that girl" Roja said
"Says the geek succubus" Kimura said
"Oh boy you were looking at her like a Beagel at a corndog" Lucas said
"Again with your sayings" Roja said "But this one is correct"
Whatever" Kimura said as his phone rang, he picked it up seeing it was Kataoka "Hello?"
"G'Day mate" Hellfire said
"Where is she?" Kimura snalred
"Safe and sound, well until midnight, which is in three hours oirso" Hellfire said "After that well I'm going to be smelling ash and flames.
"What do you want?" Kimura asked
"You, now here is what you are going to do, you will come down to the warehouse where you stopped me kidnapping those models, alone! because I know you've got that green flamed fucker Speed Demon with you" Hellfire said "And if you're not here by midnight, I'm going to have a cookout. Also if you lose I'm having a cookout, if you lose our fdight I'm having a cookout, and the girl of your dreams is what's going on the barbioe next toe the prawns" Hellfire said hanging up
"You know its a trap right?" Roja asked
"You think?" Kimura said as he grabbed his leather jacket and left
"Should I?" Lucas asked
"No, this time its personal" Kimura said
"LET ME GO!" Kataoka shouted
"I don't think so" Hellfire said as he noticed Kataoka's figure underneath the cotton nightgown she wore. "You're quite the sheila aren't ya"
"GET BACK!" she snapped
"I don't think so darlin' not until" Hellfire started
"HELLFIRE!" Kimura roared
"Right on bloody time mate, in fact you're a bit early" Hellfire laugh as Kataoka looked up to see Kimura standing there with eyes blazing , literally blazing
'what is wrong with his eyes?' Kataoka asked
"Now shall we?" Hellfire pulled out his chain whip and threw it forward, only for Kimura to catch it and snarl
'Not a good move" Kimura said
"So come on then?" Hellfire asked as he started to throw fireballs at Kimura, who just took them and stood tall. "Come on bonehead, show yourself" Hellfire muttered before igniting his hand again and threw it at Kimura, but upon readying a third one to throw at Kimura, he quickly tossed it near Kataoka, who let out a small scream
"MEG!" Kimura said "alright asshole, time for my greatest party trick" Kimura said as he ignited himself and became Ghost Rider, Kataoak watched wide eye as Kimura summoned the Ghost rider side of himself.
'What the fuck?" she asked
"So you've shown yourself huh bonehead?" Hellfire said
"Screw you" Ghost Rider said
"Its about to get hot in here, are you sure you can keep up?" Hellfire asked as he pulled out a second chain
"Yeah, I can keep up prick" Ghost Rider said as he summoned a pair of wrenches and twirled them to make them alight
"Well this is going to be interesting" Kataoka said as she watched the fight start, with Ghost Rider deflecting all of Hellfire's chain strikes before leaping in and swinging his wrenches wildly before jumping back to avoid a close range chain attack.
'This is not going how I wanted to things to go, Kataoka was never suppose to see this side of me' Kimura thought as Ghost Rider attacked and avoided Hellfire's moves. 'She must think I'm a monster'
"Come on bonehead
"Shut it Hellfire, I'm going to toast your ass once and for all!" Ghost Rider said
"Such language in front of your girl, how low can you get?" Hellfire said as he threw a fireball at Ghost Rider
"Does it look like I give a shit?" Ghost rider said as he dashed forward swinging wildly.
"Oh yeah mate, you should check that out" Hellfire smirked point above Kataoka. Ghost Rider looked up to see the roof on fire and was about to land on Kataoka. Growling Ghost Rider absorbed the flames before turning around, only to see Hellfire gone, once again
"NOOOO!" Ghost Rider roared
Once Ghost Rider's anger dissipated, he went over to Kataoka and ripped off her bindings before turning back into Kimura.
"Kimura?" Kataoka asked
"I'll take you home, okay?" Kimura said
"What was that?" she asked
"Something...something I've kept hidden for years" Kimura said as he walked away and got into his Charger.
"Kimura" Kataoka sighed before getting in and
After Kimura got back he just flopped onto the ground
"You okay sugar cube?" Roja asked placing a hot drink in front of Kimura
"She knows" Kimura said
"What do you mean?" Roja asked
"Kataoka saw Ghost Rider" he said rolling onto his back
"And?" Roja asked
"And I think I just lost a friend" Roja said
"I'm sorry" Roja said sadly as she left the room, to the sounds of sad slurping. 'If that bitch hurts him in anyway, I'm going to kill her" Roja though.
"I wonder what's she thinking now?" Kimura asked
G'day Guys Grizz here and yikes kind of a bummer ending, but I needed it to be like that for the next chapter which will be how Kimura got the Ghost Rider power and its history, so come back and see that soon okay?
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
