Disclaimer: I don't own Initial D; it is one of my favorite comics. I hope that my fanfic won't offend any Initial D's fans. I have created a female Takumi instead under the name of Tatsuki; I hope you will like them. This is a fanfic. All characters except for Initial D's characters are all imaginary characters. Most of the details are fictional and any similarities are coincidence.

Tatsuki jumped in ecstasy when she saw the Toyota Trueno parking in front of the shop this morning. She walked slowly, scrutinizing every part of her family's car. The exterior looked exactly the same as it was before. She was so over the moon for a big moment. Her smile faded slowly as she opened its door. The two front seats were replaced by bucket racing seats. She was still adjusting herself in the seat, feeling so uncomfortable. Bunta told her that it was necessary and she would realize after she drove it. With the new seat, her vision was lowered. She just disliked the new feeling of driving this car. The engine and exhaust sounded different which she felt like this was not her usual car. As she drove down the street, she felt that this was a completely different car. She looked at the tachometers, trying her best not to cross the redlines again. However, it was so difficult to maneuver around. She did not understand why the car did not produce enough power compared to the previous one. She kept trying again and again until she noticed that it was almost six o'clock. She drove home as fast as she could. Bunta watched his daughter dashed into the house, stomping to her room and some banging noises followed behind. Ten minutes later, Tatsuki ran down with her school bag and already out of the house. It was the first time that she looked so sloppy.

Ryosuke startled a little to see her in her untucked shirt and untied hair, her necktie was just hanging on her neck. She got into the car, threw her school back behind with a loud thud and began to adjust her shirt. She straightened the shirt and tucked it into her skirt. She then slowly tied the necktie, adjusted her uniform.

"You looked like a refugee," Ryosuke teased.

"My phone! MD player! Headphones! Ahhh..." Tatsuki exclaimed when she realized that she forgot all her essential stuff at home.

She looked at her school bag with her eyes were growing bigger when she saw that she grabbed the wrong bag. She looked at the road. They were already on the highway and there was no way to turn back. She slowly looked through her today's school bag which contained a small notebook, super small pencil case containing 1 pencil and a multifunction pen, and an ATM card. She covered her face with her hands and was shaking her head profusely. She then brushed her long hair with her hands before tying a plaid.

"What's happened?" Ryosuke asked after seeing her reactions.

"I took a wrong bag," Tatsuki whined. "Can you send me home this evening?"

He leaned closer to her face while the car stopped at the traffic, "what's the perks?"

Tatsuki leaned backwards when he was so closed, "what do you want?"

She unconsciously put her hand on her chest, as her heart was racing. Her eyes were gazing into his eyes with some skeptical expression. She suddenly felt that Ryosuke was dangerous. Ryosuke returned to his driving position and continued driving down the highway with a smile.

"A proper date with me," Ryosuke said after some time.

"What do you mean?" Tatsuki asked confusingly.

"Go out with me this Saturday. You just need to dress up nicely and follow my plans," he replied.

Tatsuki looked at him from the corner of her eyes, considering his reply. She nodded and agreed eventually. She told him that she was going to Ginza after school and asked him to meet her at Aint Ginza after his class. She even told him that she did not bring her phone so she would be uncontactable for today.

Ryosuke stopped at a cafe for breakfast. He ordered a pancake breakfast set for her. Tatsuki told him that she just got her car back this morning. She did not mention about her difficulties with the car. He slowly understood why she was making so many unusual things this morning. However, her reaction this morning was priceless.

Tatsuki walked into the student council room to meet her friends. The four were giving her a questioning look once they saw at the door. They saw her at the cafe with Ryosuke this morning. Their friend was seeing this medical student a little too often. Tatsuki looked away from them and sat down on her usual seat. Soon, their meeting began.

Tatsuki slept through her classes and was woke up in a daze again. She was so deprived of sleep today. She was then dragged to the cafeteria by Yumi for lunch. Tatsuki was thinking about the car again. She could not understand why it was so different from the previous one. She felt something was off. Her father must have hidden something from her. However, she knew that he would not going to give her the answer. He always wanted her to find out on her own.

"What's wrong? You seemed so occupied today," Haruka asked when she noticed that Tatsuki was delving into something.

"It's about the car. I just got it back this morning and it's..." Tatsuki replied and paused, as she was still finding her words to explain.

"Why don't you ask Ryosuke? I think he should be able to help," Shin said.

"He's the last person I want to consult," Tatsuki replied with an irritated expression.

She knew that he would ask for some recompenses from her like what he did this morning. She was not ready to know what he up to. The four knew that they should not pursue further on Ryosuke's topic.

Haruka and Tatsuki were going to Aint Couture together. Their office was at the top floor of the six-story luxury boutique. Tatsuki had an appointment with her VVIP guest. She walked into her exclusive suite on the third floor which was reserved for such guests. She met with Mrs. Sakamoto who brought her niece with her this afternoon. She wanted an engagement dress for her niece and a dress for herself too. Tatsuki was slowly engaging in the conversation with the two ladies. She then slowly showed them her design drawings, explaining on details. After an hour of discussion, Tatsuki sent the ladies off before she got back into her office.

Ryosuke walked into the Aint boutique for the first time. He was attended by the store manager as soon as he stepped in. The manager led him to second floor where he was waiting in a private suite. The manager served him tea and some snacks. In a short period, a group of four staffs were entering his suite. One of them took his measurements, while the others were inquiring on his preferences. Two staffs left the suite after they had all information about him.

Tatsuki came to see Ryosuke after she finished her work. She sat down next to him. She asked about his day. It did not take long for her staffs to pack bags of clothes for him. Tatsuki gave him and his brother bags of new season clothes. It had yet released to the public. She normally sent a set to her family and close friends. There was going to have a fall/winter runway show in a few days. Haruka was the one who in-charge of the show. She left the management issues to her friend and only focused on the design aspects of the brand. She left the boutique with Ryosuke after a casual conversation with Haruka.

They were on their way to Gunma for dinner. Ryosuke brought her to an Italian restaurant Minakami. They met with Keisuke who was joining them tonight. It was a casual and pleasant evening for three of them. Keisuke was delighted when he received a bag of streetwear from Tatsuki. It was one of his favorite brands recently, especially the materials were very comfortable.

Tatsuki had spent an hour every morning driving the Hachi-Roku up and down Akina. She was trying to figure out how to drive this car. However, she was so scared that she might blew the engine again especially when the needle was hanging on the redline. She had a feeling that she could dragged the rpm higher. She got out of the car, perplexed at what happened. She then looked at her father with an annoying glare. She turned her head to another direction and entered the house. Bunta knew how frustrated she was these few days. The way she was practicing on Akina every morning was very entertaining. It was hard to see how much effort she had put into it. Tatsuki went straight to the bathroom. She was getting late again.

Ryosuke looked at the gloomy girl that just got into his car. She was not in a good mood recently. He knew that she was having problems with her revived Hachi-Roku. He heard some rumors of the leak of a TRD Group A engine being seen at one of the workshops in Gunma. However, he had not confirmed on the news. Both he and his brother were at Akina this morning to watch how she was doing. Tatsuki was still engrossed in her thoughts about what she should do with the underpowered car. She looked out of the window, lost in her own world.

"What's wrong? You seem to be in trouble lately," he asked after ordered their breakfast.

Tatsuki looked up at him. She remained silent and slowly shook her head. She did not want any help at this moment. She was thinking if she should try to trust her instincts and revved up a little to see where was the right shift point. All her mind was occupied with how she should try to drive it. She told Ryosuke not to fetch her this afternoon before she walked into the school. Ryosuke watched her disappear from his sight before he turned to his campus direction.

Tatsuki was in her clubbing apparel this evening. Bunta, who had shredded his old man appearance into a stylish early thirties man, was looking at his daughter with some vexation. That super-hot pants were something he never wanted her to wear. Tatsuki was smiling brightly when she saw his annoyance in his eyes. It was just like a little revenge for his secret motives on the car.

They both appeared in a club in Takasaki city that night. Bunta was sitting on a high stool, drinking wine. Tatsuki was standing across her father, moving her body with the rhythm. She was relaxing herself. Having her father with her, she was away from any guys' pestering. They stayed for just an hour and quietly left the club before she caught by her fans.

Tatsuki curled up in her seat while her father drove the Hachi-Roku down the street. As he turned to the mountain pass, she completely alerted and watched how he drove the car. Her senses became alive and she noticed the difference between her and Bunta's driving style. She was getting more doubtful this time.

Tatsuki was practicing again this morning with some clues this time. It was a vague feeling when she managed to drift through the corner at one point. That same feeling just came back but she was unsure what was the right point. She spent an hour more this morning. She looked at the old man in front of her house.

"What did you do to this car?" Tatsuki questioned her father in her serious voice.

"Oh! What do you think then?" Bunta asked with a sneaky smile.

"It's really you, Bad Oyaji!" she muttered as she felt how dumb she was.

"So can you tell me now what's that?" she asked after a long pause.

"I haven't changed certain components. Think harder. If you get it right, you'll love this car like I do," he replied and drove the car away.

"I hate you!" Tatsuki swore at the vanishing car.

Tatsuki took a bath to cool herself down. She was looking through her wardrobe, thinking about her date today. She chose white lace babydoll maxi dress and a light pink cardigan. She put on a pair of white canvas shoes before grabbed a silver mini crossbody bag. She then put on a wide brim straw hat and got out of the house.

Ryosuke was taken aback a little when he saw her walking out of the house. She looked pure and sweet in that white dress. He was contented with her cooperation for their first date. He opened the door for her before he got into the car. Tatsuki was nervous as she did not know how she should behave now. She did not know what he had planned for today. She almost pulled her hand out when he placed his hand on hers. She just stared at their interlocking fingers.

Ryosuke was heading Tsukuba in Ibaraki prefecture. They should be able to spend the whole day together there. Nevertheless, he must find a nice place for breakfast. He chose a small cafe on their way out of Gunma. He adored Tatsuki a lot, especially when she was more obedient than usual. The cafe was quite empty at this time in morning. They were just enjoying their meal without any interruption.

They arrived at Tsukuba cable car station late in the morning. He was holding her hand all this time. She just followed him around, taking the cable car up to Mt. Tsukuba. They visited the shrine and the giant Buddha. Ryosuke reserved a table at a fine dining sushi restaurant for lunch. He never done such a date in his life. He took a few nights to plan this, hoping to impress this girl. So far, she looked enjoying herself with him.

Tatsuki was very excited when they visited Tsukuba Science City. She heard about this place and was longing to visit someday. She wrapped her arms around his arm while looking around the exhibition. They moved to the Expo Center then Matsumi Park. It was a quiet place where they could enjoy the beautiful view of Tsukuba. They were sitting on a bench in the park, mesmerized by the view in front of their eyes. Ryosuke placed his arm on her shoulder, pulling her closer to him. Though, they did not talk much, they did have a good time together. He was very pleased with the progress so far. He then brought her to a candlelight dinner at a private restaurant in Tokyo. He knew that his date would be ruined if her fans spotted her. So, he had carefully prepared everything for them. Tatsuki was smiling when she walked into her own restaurant. She gave a small gesture at the manager not to disclose her identity.

"Thank you for today. I really enjoyed it," she said to Ryosuke when stopped near her house.

"You're welcome. So how do you want to end the date?" Ryosuke asked.

"Oh! Well, just drop me off in front of my house and drive safely home," she replied with a smile.

"Such a disappointment," he chuckled.

Ryosuke leaned forward, closing their space between them. Tatsuki leaned away and was almost pinned to the door of the car.

"It's not appropriate," Tatsuki said.

"So, when can we have our next date?" Ryosuke asked, leaving just a few centimeters away from her face.

"No... no more," she stuttered nervously.

"What did you just say? I give you a second chance, say it again," he whispered to her ear.

Tatsuki was so nerve wracking that she wanted to get out of the car as soon as she could. Her eyes were bewildered when Ryosuke placed a kiss on her cheek. He then rubbed her head lightly, hoping that she could calm down. He noticed how tense she was at this moment. He did not want to push her too hard and scared her away. He slowly stopped in front of her house and watched she ran into the house.

Tatsuki could not sleep tonight. She did not know how to face Ryosuke after what he did. She was tossed and turned in her bed. Her thoughts were running wild in confusion. She had never been so emotional in her life.

At the same time in another house, Takahashi Ryosuke just got home with elated expression as he whistled into the house. Keisuke was standing by the stairs, looking at his brother skeptically at his high spiritedness. He was wondering what he caused his brother having such a good mood. Ryosuke tapped on Keisuke's shoulder and just walked past towards his room. Keisuke clenched his fist when his curiosity was not answered. He followed his brother to his room but Ryosuke locked the door, shutting him from pestering further.

Ryosuke had a long shower and sat silently, staring at his driving simulation on the screen. His mind was somewhere else. He knew that it was a good start for both Tatsuki and himself. He then uploaded the pictures they took together today on his computer. The pictures of Tatsuki were replayed on the screen as he watched. Her smile was so sweet that touched his heart. He smiled brighter when he saw those pictures with her frowning faces, pouting expressions and many cute reactions.

"I want to hold you in my arms, winding you up within me. I want to make you mine, seeing you beside always. If this were my chance, give me a chance to write our ending..." Tatsuki was humming this phrase as she laid down on her bed.

She sprung up when she realized what she was just said. She scribbled it down in a piece of paper with flowing lines of lyrics that just came up in her head. She sat on her bed writing songs the whole night.

Bunta looked at his zombie stage daughter dragging herself down the stairs. Her eyes were red with faint dark circles. He was doubtful of allowing her to drive his car in this state. Tatsuki gave her father an 'Okay' sign and got into the car. The music was turned on full blast with no consideration for the quiet neighborhood as the car passed through.

The Akina Hachi-Roku sped down the road in high speed after the delivery. She took a quick glance at the cup as the water swirled around when she entered and exited the corner. She spent all her energy and time on finding the missing piece of this car. She went home after she saw the light on the fuel gauge. She tossed the key to her father and went back to sleep. Bunta shook his head and checked on his car. He clenched his fist when he saw the light on the fuel gauge. He then drove it out for refueling, but it stopped halfway down the road. He called Yuiichi for help, earning some mocking from his friend.

Ryosuke picked Tatsuki up from her house as usual. Nothing was changed after their first date. She seemed to forget about it and was in a good mood this morning. She read her book while humming along. He dropped her off at the gate before sped down the street to the university hospital.

Tatsuki was at Sun Entertainment after lunch. She went straight into her recording studio. She was so immersed herself in her music that she did not aware of time. It was already evening and someone was still trying to call her for the past few hours. Ryosuke did not know where she would be. However, he often seen her around Roppongi so he dropped by Sun Entertainment after some time. Everyone was surprised to see a young man looking for their top artist. He sat on the sofa in the reception room. Miyu came up to him and asked how did he get here. She told him that the girl that he was looking for was in the recording studio. She led him to wait in the hallway where he could see her from the window.

"There is a concert next week. Do you wanna go with her?" Miyu asked so she could prepare a VIP pass for him.

"What kind of concert?" he asked back.

"Gale's concert," she replied with a cheeky smile.

He nodded with a stern face when he thought of the music video that she did earlier. He was aware of Miyu's intentions. He then turned back to look at Tatsuki. Her friends were quite annoying. Tatsuki came out of the studio immediately when she saw Ryosuke outside.

"What are you doing here? How did you get here? Why..." Tatsuki threw a load of questions as soon as she stepped out.

Ryosuke smiled at her concerns and questions. He told her to pack up as it was late. Tatsuki nodded obediently and had left a list of things to do for Miyu. She then quickly walked away with Ryosuke, in the middle of everyone's vision.

"What do you think of changing an engine without changing the instrument panel?" Tatsuki popped out a question.

"It depends. If it's exactly the same type of engine, you don't need to change... however, if it's a different type of engine, the mechanic will do it at once..." he explained.

"Yeah! If the owner is not that idiot! Baka Oyaji!" she muttered under her breath.

Tatsuki knew what her father was capable of when came into playing pranked her. In this case, he was leg-pulling her again. In addition, she had found the band of culprits that had been missing from her sight recently. Ryosuke was laughing quietly at her reaction. He knew straight away that she must have figured out about the problem with the car. He respected her father somehow. The way Bunta trained his daughter on car was quite crazy.

Both of them became the center of attention when they walked into the Red Suns usual hangout restaurant. Keisuke was smiling teasingly at his brother while the other team members were stunned at the Akina driver in her high school uniform. Tatsuki smiled and greeted the guys at the table briefly before she sat down next to Ryosuke.

"A glass of warm water with some slices of lemon, please," she said to Ryosuke.

"Miyu told me that you're going to a concert next week," he said.

"Bring it On by Gale," she nodded and asked Keisuke. "Wanna go?"

"You have the tickets?" Keisuke asked excitedly.

"No, I don't but..." she paused her reply with a smile. "I have VIP access passes."

Keisuke nodded and thanked her in advance. Tatsuki slowly sipped her drinks and ordered one more glass. She looked at Ryosuke, cueing him to go ahead with his dinner. She was not hungry at all. She then put on her headphones and checking on the new songs that she recorded today. She leaned back on the seat, closed her eyes and listened carefully to every detail of each song. Her lips were singing along in silence. Ryosuke had some conversations with his Red Suns members on his plan for a new team. Everyone was shocked at his decision. Fumihiro asked why must be a new team when he already had Red Suns. Ryosuke did not gave much explanation but told Fumihiro that he would select a handful of people for this new team.

Tatsuki walked out of the restaurant suddenly with her phone in her hand. Ryosuke looked out of the window, ensuring that she was just within his sight. She was talking on the phone, as she paced around. Ryosuke looked at his watch and made a move first. He sent her home before it was too late.

"Bad Oyaji! You didn't change the tachometer," Tatsuki crossed her arms and looked at her father furiously.

"Oh! Didn't I?" Bunta exclaimed with a smile.

He quickly threw his arm over her shoulder and explained to her that he was just waiting for the parts to arrive. Tatsuki narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing her father for any possible deception. She never believed this man after falling into his traps for several times. Bunta added that he was going to tell her more about the car and racing if she showed more enthusiasm. She accepted his words and went back to her room.

It was a free afternoon for Tatsuki and she got home earlier than usual. She went to Akina for a spin. She met with Itsuki from Akina Speedstars and another similar car. Akiyama Wataru was interested in the Akina fastest driver, but it ended up with an unpleasant misunderstanding. Tatsuki was confused by his sudden anger at her. She stopped behind Wataru's car along the pass. She explained to the man that she had no idea what kind of engine her father installed. Moreover, she had little knowledge about cars. Wataru accepted her explanation about her shortcoming on cars and explained to her on what he knew about the engine she had. He proposed a race battle on his turf once she fixed the missing parts. Tatsuki gave him her name card before she returned home. Wataru stared for a long time at the dark purple name card, bearing "Zyne Corporation" in silver embossed.

Next morning, Bunta told the girl that the dashboard instrument parts would be sent to Suzuki Auto shop tomorrow afternoon. Tatsuki was elated to hear such a good new this morning. She told her father that she was coming home early today. She quickly got into the awaiting car outside her house. Ryosuke was surprised to see how happy she was this morning. She was a little bubbly this morning, humming along as her mind was occupied with new ideas. He was a bit shocked when she told him that she was going to Shomaru pass to battle with a local racer that she just met yesterday. She told him not to skip his class to send her home. She was excited about her battle tomorrow for the first time. Ryosuke noticed a change in her attitude towards street racing. He remembered how she was acting when she first raced with Keisuke. Even when she was racing with him, she showed no enthusiasm for it.

Tatsuki looked at her father while sitting in her driving seat this morning. She asked the old man if the parts would be at the auto shop this afternoon. Bunta assured her before she drove off for delivery. She did not stay for practice today. The girl was humming while preparing breakfast. Today's breakfast was one of the most nutritious and traditional one. Bunta watched his girl arranging the plates on a tray for him. He knew how happy she was by the way she was doing in the kitchen. He was almost taken aback when he saw she took out the rare traditional bento boxes and some thermal cups. She then wrapped up in beautiful Furoshiki before put them in a thermal lunch bag.

She came down after showers and dressed in full uniform. She placed their breakfast in the boot before she got into the car. Ryosuke gazed at his passenger who was having her smile on her face. She was obviously showing her emotions on her face. He never seen acting this way as she usually very composed. As soon as they arrived at University of Tokyo campus, Tatsuki took out the bento boxes from the boot of his car and found a nice table under a tree.

Ryosuke followed her to the stone table and sat down. Tatsuki was proudly presented the bento to him. As he unwrapped the Furoshiki, a beautiful bento box was presented in front of his eyes. He looked at each section from grilled mackerel, pickled vegetables, Tamagoyaki and some dedicated side dishes. She put a thermal cup with Tonjiru soup and another thermal flask with green tea in front of him.

"Where did you buy it?" Ryosuke asked with a teasing tone.

Tatsuki gave him an angry glare, "I made them myself."

"Just kidding, let's tuck in," he rubbed her head adoringly.

He took a sip of the soup and complimented her. He never had such a full traditional breakfast for a long time. She impressed him every time he discovered more about herself. The more he knew her, the deeper he was falling for her. However, he knew that he was just a friend to her. He took a tissue, tapping at the corner of her lips. As their eyes met, he was drawing closer to her.

"I will be going home early today so don't skip classes, ok?" Tatsuki reminded Ryosuke.

"I'll go and watch you," Ryosuke replied.

Tatsuki nodded and kept the bento boxes and thermal cups in the lunch bag. They then walked to his car where she retrieved her school bag. They walked down the street and crossed the road to her school.

Tatsuki rushed to the Suzuki Auto shop in the afternoon. Masashi was very surprised to see his friend's daughter so eagerly today. He slowly instructed her how to change the instrument panel. She was very concentrated in following his instructions. She asked him more about the car and the setting he made for this car. She tested it out on Akina right after that. She then returned home to change into her casual apparel. She asked her father about what he had to tell her about the car while washing the boxes and flasks. Bunta told her to rev up to 11,000rpm before she was off for the first battle after she got the car back. Bunta watched it disappeared into the street. He was glad that she finally showed her enthusiasm and passion for racing. He wanted her to try other cars in the future, especially her birthday presents from his Seiki friends.

Tatsuki arrived at the nearby bus terminal In Saitama in the evening. Wataru was waiting for her with his sister and Itsuki. On the Shomaru Pass, the Takahashi brothers and Kenta just reached the space along this narrow road where they could park their cars. Kaito arrived shortly after the Red Suns. He had been very busy with studies in the new university when Tatsuki had him transferred at the beginning of this semester. Besides studies, Kaito was also working on his new career plan. They then waited at the long stairwell on the other side. It was a chasing race where Wataru was the first to start. Tatsuki followed the Levin closely, while she adjusted herself to her car. The road was very narrow and many parts were debris from some landslides, making it difficult to maneuver around. The condition of the road was slowly registered in her head. At the second round, she was leading the Levin. She recalled her father's words and was surprised to see how she could handle this car like her hands and legs again at 11,000rpm. This boosted her confidence in this battle. Ryosuke was smiling when he noticed how fast she had adapted to the course in her second round. Her adaptability to the course was another talent that no one ever noticed. Besides this and her driving techniques, she was a fast learner too. She would fit perfectly for his new team as the downhill specialist. He explained to his brother and Kenta on the difference between Levin and Trueno as they watched the race. He added that this was an endurance race, whoever lost the focus would lose. He was very confident in Tatsuki that she would win eventually. He had seen the girl working under high pressure with full concentration for hours. Even he himself was not be able to do it. Kaito was listening to Ryosuke explaining about the cars and Tatsuki's driving style all this while. He was very impressed with Ryosuke's vast knowledge of cars and racing. Tatsuki's race ended in round 5 when she overtook Wataru on the straight line. She felt the feeling of winning a race for the first time and the satisfactory feeling was something she had been looking for since she started racing. She pulled up beside the Red Suns cars. She was staring at her car after got out. She mumbled softly as her hand patted on it lightly. She had a very strong sentimental feeling with this car. Ryosuke rubbed her head lightly as he stood beside her.

"Keisuke and Kenta are behind us," Ryosuke whispered softly.

Tatsuki brushed his hand off her head and slowly composed herself. She turned around and greeted the two men. It was a little awkward moment when she was not expecting to see the two men here tonight.

"I'd better make a move first. I still have school tomorrow. Bye," she said but when she was about to get into her car, she saw Kaito.

"How dared you team up with Dad? Why didn't I realize earlier that you're one of the mechanics who fixed it?" Tatsuki pulled his collar as she muttered under her breath.

"You know... I've no choice. Spare my life please, I'm sandwiched between you and Dad. I'm sorry... very sorry," Kaito quickly begged for forgiveness.

Tatsuki knew that Kaito could not resist her dad's request. She released him and slowly wiped her fingers with a piece of tissue like he was germs or something.

"Hey, girl. I'm not dirt, ok!" Kaito remarked in his irritated manner.

"You owe me three favors," she said with a distaste glared at him. "Oh! By the way, meet me at Lake Akina tomorrow, I got something for you."

Tatsuki got into her car and drove off immediately. Kaito was scratching his head, wondering what would happen tomorrow. He also drove off in his white FD.

Ryosuke shook his head at her sudden change of reaction. He could feel that she got something to share with him earlier. He left the course as well.

Kaito came up to Akina warehouse the next morning. He met Tatsuki along the pass when she was doing her practice. He prepared breakfast for themselves while waiting for her to return. Tatsuki led her brother to her garage where cars were lined up on one side. There were pastel pink evil bunny S2000, deep purple little fairy Trueno, light lilac cute graffiti monster Supra MK4 and pastel yellow cute graffiti art RX7 FD3S. Kaito looked at the envelope in his hands, wondering what was inside. His eyes grew wide open when he saw the document of Zyne Corporation and Zyne Racing (ZR). He questioned Tatsuki about Zyne Corporation which he never heard of. Tatsuki explained that she has been thinking of building her own company one day. This was a new idea that clouded herself for some time when she found that she was living her life aimlessly for years. She had been doing things based on her thoughts at certain moments. This caused her to have too many jobs in different fields. It was a result of having too many good neighbors who taught the little Tatsuki everything as their successor. Zyne Corporation would be the company where she gathered all her businesses in one place. Kaito was too speechless when he found out what she had been doing in less than two weeks. She even more opened up to him and willing to get him involved in her businesses. They spent a few days at the warehouse, wrapping up their new business project.

With Tatsuki was uncontactable again, Ryosuke came up to Akina cottage to look for her. Kaito raised his brow when he saw a white FC3S pulling up in front of the gate. He called his sister who was sitting on a couch, drawing her designs on the paper. Tatsuki looked up for a second and continued with her work. Kaito sighed at her response and went out to see Ryosuke. He brought their guest into the warehouse. Ryosuke was smiling gently when he finally saw her in good care. He took a few glances at her and Kaito after he saw her lounge outfit. Tatsuki was wearing a pastel yellow spaghetti strap flowy blouse with a pair of white shorts, crouching in her seat. Kaito smirked at Ryosuke's slight expression before turning his attention to his work. The older man found a seat before taking out his laptop. The three of them were working on their own work for hours before they went out for driving fun tonight.
