Chapter 6: Love Progress

Akina Pass

Takumi arrived at the peak of Mt. Akina on the dot again. He looked around the packed gallery and slowly lined his car up at the starting point. Mizuki had arrived earlier and she parked it on the opposite side of Takahashi’s brothers. Ryosuke looked at his phone, waiting for Mizuki’s call.

‘I’m here. See you later at the same place,’ he read Mizuki’s sms.

“Let’s go Keisuke,” he asked his brother to get into the car. “Don’t you wanna sit in the VIP seat?”

Keisuke nodded and quickly got into the FC. Ryosuke followed right behind the Hachi-Roku with white S2000 at his tail. He was not surprised that Mizuki would do this as he had heard about how the S2000 usually followed the red Celica during the race. However, at the approaching the last consecutive S corner, he was worried that the S2000 would not be able to avoid the GTR. Mizuki took the right hand corner to avoid the spinning GTR, as she could see that she could not take the same line as Takahashi Ryosuke. She then sped off passing the FC at the bottom of the pass and headed to Akagi.

“It was dangerous,” Ryosuke said as he checked on his girlfriend. “Did the R32 hit you?”

Mizuki shook her head and smile, “ I can handle it, don’t worry.”

“Micky, don’t do this anymore. What if you can’t avoid it?” he said anxiously.

Mizuki nodded, knowing how worried her boyfriend was.

Keisuke’s Room

Keisuke was watching Iris tidied his room. She had been complaining about how messy it was when she kicked his stuff every time she walked into his room. However, Iris was not good at tidy up the room, as she always depends on her sister on this issue. She just chucked them at one corner. Keisuke was smiling and switched off the light before he kissed Iris. He slowly led her to his bed.

“My brother is at home tonight,” he told Iris so that she could keep the noise down.

Iris nodded. Keisuke continued kissing her neck; his hand slipped under her bloused, pushed up her bra and caressed her breast. Iris grabbed the bed sheet tight, as she tried to control her moan. She breathed deep and arched her body toward Keisuke. Keisuke paused for a while before he undressed every piece of her garment. He stripped his clothes off as well, leaving only a boxer.

“Condom,” Iris said softly.

Keisuke bent closer to her ear and whispered, “I don’t like it.”

She wanted to protest but Keisuke was aroused her by teasing her nipple. He was selfish but Iris loved him. Keisuke was kissing and sucking her breast while his hand massage her other breast. She then felt her stomach tighten when his other hand moved down between her thighs. His finger was rubbing her clit. She was already wet. He slowly pushed his finger into her warmed virginal, thrust in and out. Iris arched her body upward when he added another finger into her.

“Faster, please,” she begged softly.

“Do you want this?” he asked, as he stood up and pulled down his boxer.

Iris nodded and kneeled in front of Keisuke. Her hands grabbed his shaft, moved gently up and down. She licked her lips and began to tease the tip with her tongue.

“Ah,” Keisuke moaned and pushed her onto the bed.

Iris shifted herself between his thighs, continued to swallow his shaft into her mouth. Her tongue wrapped around his erected manhood, moving up and down.

Ryosuke’s Bedroom

“Are they ok?” Mizuki asked softly when she heard the noise from the next door.

Ryosuke held her tight in his arms. He was flushing, as he controlled himself.

“They are ok. You’re tired, just sleep,” he said softly.

Mizuki’s leg brushed lightly with his as she shifted to a more comfortable position on the twin bed with her back to Ryosuke. Ryosuke was aroused, but he tried very hard to control himself.

Keisuke’s Bedroom

“Hmmm… hmmm,” Iris cried with the pillow covered her mouth.

Keisuke was thrusting in and out of her, as she was on four. He grabbed her hip and pulled her toward him each time he thrust. Iris wanted to scream when she was so closed to orgasm. Keisuke slammed himself into her tight, hot and wet virginal before he shot his full load into her. Her essence and his member were dripped as he pulled out. Keisuke smiled while his hand finding a toy. He turned Iris on her back, spread her legs wide and pushed a vibrator into her.

“Keisuke, I…” she shut her eyes and cried in her pleasure.

He turned it on and slowly pushed and pulled inside her.

“Do you like it?” he asked.

She nodded. Her body was yearning for more. She felt empty suddenly when he pulled it out.

“Keisuke, please.” She begged him.

“Say it,” he demanded.

“Fuck me,” she cried.

He spread her legs further and pushed them up a little. He then slammed his shaft into her, thrusting in and out, gradually increasing the speed.

“God, Keisuke,” she cried.

He built up the pressure till both of them came together. He collapsed on her and pulled himself out.

Ryosuke’s Bedroom

‘Iris,’ Mizuki thought, when she realized that the girl whom Keisuke brought home was none other than her sister.

‘Darn it! Keisuke!’ Ryosuke cursed silently.

Mizuki looked up at Ryosuke who seemed sleeping, “Have you slept?”

“Not really,” he replied. “Why?”

“Nothing. Good night!” Mizuki replied.

“Good night,” he replied back.

Ryosuke hardly fell asleep the whole night when he tried to control his urge. He made sure that Mizuki had slept before he went into the bathroom for a release, cursing and swearing at Keisuke.

Takumi’s Room

Takumi was lying on the bed, thinking of the earlier race. He did not understand why he had the urge to go to Akina tonight. Nanami sat beside him.

“Still thinking about the race?” she asked.

Takumi nodded.

“Do you want me to help out in the morning?” she asked, as she knew that Takumi might not be able to get up later.

“I’m fine. It’s getting late. Why don’t you go back and sleep?” he said.

Nanami looked at him for a while and got up. She was upset as Takumi never made any moves on her. Takumi noticed her sudden changed and pulled her back into his embrace.

“Stay, if you wish to,” he said.

Nanami turned back and faced him before she said, “It’s fine. Good night, Takumi.”

She slowly left the room. Tears started to fall as she walked back to her room. Takumi followed her to her room after a while. He knew that she was upset with him because he had asked her to leave.

“I’m sorry, Seven, Takumi apologized as he wrapped his arms from her back.

“You don’t need to apologize. It’s not your fault. I know that I can’t force you to feel the same as I am feeling for you,” she told him.

“I…” Takumi was finding his word.

“It’s ok. I know you like someone else. She is a nice girl,” Nanami said.

Takumi turned her to face him. He knew whom she was referring to. Looking at her tears, he bent over and kissed her tears away. He kissed her lips gently.

“I care about Mogi but I care more about you, Seven,” he said.

“Takumi,” she called his name and kissed him back passionately.

They shared their kisses for the first time. Takumi slowly guided her to the bed and climbed on top of her after she laid down.

“Don’t leave me, Seven,” Takumi whispered and gave her neck a small bite.

“I won’t, promise,” she replied faintly.

They were slowly taking off each other clothes. Takumi kissed her lips again while his hands grabbed her breast, squeezed it and rubbed her nipple. His other hand was running up and down her back. It was their first time making love to each other.

Ryosuke stroke her hair lightly; as he lay on his bed next to Mizuki who was still sound asleep. It was 6 o’clock in the morning. He glanced at the clock, checking on the time. He quietly got up without waking up Mizuki. He sat by the bed watching her beautiful face. He kissed her cheek lightly before he got into the bathroom. Mizuki woke up after a while. She sat up and looked around the room. It was still as neat as her first visit.

“What are you looking at?” he asked.

“Nothing, I just feel that your room is a bit too organized,” Mizuki replied.

“Oh! So do you want to see the messiest room in my house?” he teased.

“No, I don’t think I wish to see that,” she replied and got up, slowly walked to the bathroom.

Ryosuke smiled at his girlfriend as he watched her enter the bathroom. He then tidied up the bed and waited for Mizuki to finish her wash up. He could be happy by just watching the girl alone. Mizuki was shyly getting dressed in the bathroom to avoid his stares.

“Do you have class this morning?” Mizuki asked, when both of them were walking to the garage.

“Yes, I have a morning class to attend so… Do you mind waiting for me at the canteen for about 2 hours?” he asked back.

Mizuki smiled and replied, “I don’t mind. Classes are more important.”

‘You’re making me falling in love with you much deeper, Mizuki,’ he thought when she showed her understanding.

Maebashi University, Faculty of Medicine

Mizuki was sitting at the table in the canteen, quietly waiting for Ryosuke. She occupied herself with her unfinished project on her white MacBook. She smiled as she typed on the keyboard, glancing a few times on the note, closing her eyes while analyses the info and input them on her laptop.

Two hours later, Ryosuke walked over to the girl who was so immersed with her laptop. He looked at the familiar screen, full of charts that Mizuki was looking at. It was driving simulations. It was something that he was using, but her program is more complicated than his. He was quite surprised to see it. She told him that she was forced to do the race earlier so what was she doing with the simulation then.

“I thought you don’t like racing,” he asked as he sat across Mizuki.

“I don’t like racing, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t drive,” Mizuki replied and looked up at Ryosuke. “You’re pissed because you see this driving simulation. It’s a kind of complicated here. I like just driving around but not racing with anyone like you do. I don’t see the point of racing against another car. What’s point of getting to the finishing line first?”

“Mizuki,” Ryosuke said softly when he saw that Mizuki was uncomfortably telling her feeling.

He reached his hand out, placing his index finger on her lips, “Don’t say anymore. Let’s go for a ride.”

He led his girlfriend out of the canteen. Soon, the white FC pulled out of the parking lot. Ryosuke was driving aimlessly on the Gunma highway, while Mizuki was silently looking out of the window. He took a glance at his girlfriend before holding her right hand.

“Shall we go shopping?” he asked, as he remembered that girls love shopping.

Mizuki nodded.

Thirty minute later, Ryosuke and Mizuki arrived at Takashimaya Shopping Centre in Tokyo. It was their simplest date where Ryosuke wanted it this way. He took her to McDonalds’ for a lunch. They then walked around the counters, window-shopping.

“This suits you,” Mizuki pointed at a blue sweatshirt on the shelf. She knew that he liked blue.

“Mizuki, I don’t need it. I have a few of this shirt already,” he stopped her when she was about to ask the counter assistance to get a new piece of Ryosuke’s size.

“This is different, Ryo. It’s from me,” Mizuki smiled and passed her credit card to the lady.

Ryosuke nodded, as he did not want to start some reasoning session with her. He then bought her to the Blue Label boutique. Instead of looking at her clothes, Mizuki was busied looking for new clothes for him. In the end, they bought a lot of clothes for themselves.

“Do you know why I bring you here?” Ryosuke asked while putting the bags in his boot.

Mizuki shook her head as an answer.

“I wanted to get some clothes for you so when you stay over at my place, you don’t need to worry about what to wear,” he replied.

Mizuki smiled and gave him a hug, “Thank you. Let’s go for dinner, I’m hungry.”

She held his hand while walking back to the building. They continued to shop after dinner. Ryosuke then sent her home.

“Thank you and I had a good time today. Have a safe drive home,” Mizuki told the driver and got out of the car.

“Get inside the house,” Ryosuke replied with a smile. He then drove off when he saw that Mizuki had got into her house.

Takahashi Residence

Keisuke was sitting in front of the TV in the living room, waiting for his brother. He was curious to find out about his brother’s girlfriend. It has been troubled him since the day that his brother told him so.

“Aniki,” Keisuke called once Ryosuke entered the house.

Keisuke looked at his brother who was carrying so many bags, trying to close the main door.

“What are all these?” the younger man asked curiously, as his brother did not like shopping.

Keisuke then helped him carry some of the bag back to Ryosuke’s room. He slowly opened the bags to see what were inside.

“Aniki, why are you buying so many clothes?” he asked.

“When did I give you the permission to see my stuff?” Ryosuke asked back, shaking his head at his younger brother.

“Ah Hem! What is this?” Keisuke took out the bright red shirt. “I never have seen you fancy such a bright colour.”

“Just keep it, Keisuke,” he replied.

“Will you wear it?” Keisuke proceeded with his question.

“I will. Have I answered your question?” the older boy replied with annoyance.

“So who is she?” Keisuke asked.

“I will introduce you when the time is right. So you’d better go to bed now,” Ryosuke replied, chasing his brother out of his room.

“How old is she? Where did you get to know each other? What does she like?” Keisuke continued asking.

“Keisuke!” Ryosuke called the younger boy name and let out a big sigh.

“I won’t leave if you don’t cure my curiosity. You know me well,” Keisuke replied with a cunning grin.

Ryosuke looked at his younger brother and pulled his chair closer.

“I met her on Akagi after the race at Akina. She gave me a jacket and we started the conversation. At first, I thought she was a boy because she was wearing an overall and a cap. I don’t know how this was started… I just attracted to her,” he said.

“How does she look like?” Keisuke asked.

“Long hair, pretty… It should be beautiful. I feel comfortable when I am with her. It’s kinda funny,” Ryosuke paused and smiled to himself.

“Aniki, you’re in love. Deeply in love,” Keisuke smiled while shaking his head helplessly.

“I guess so. Guess, how old is she?” Ryosuke asked.

“Around me, 20?” the younger man replied.

Ryosuke shook his head, “Seventeen.”

“What?” Keisuke exclaimed.

“Anyway, she’s working at the Takashita Medical Centre. I was wondering but she is a doctor there so I couldn’t say anything more. I think I’m dating with the youngest doctor in the history,” he continued.

“Doctor?” Keisuke mumbled in his disbelief. “Okay. Good luck to you.”

“By the way, what about your CRV girl?” Ryosuke asked, while he took out the clothes from the bags.

“Fantastic! You’ll never believe how hot she is in bed,” Keisuke smirked.

“I think I can imagine that ‘cos I can hear them almost every time you bring her home,” Ryosuke replied with a fierce glare.

“Aniki, I think this is difference between dating a kid and a woman,” Keisuke replied. “By the way, have you ever kissed that kid?”

“Yes, why?” the older man replied.

“Where? Lips or cheek?” Keisuke asked again.

“It’s none of your business!” Ryosuke replied, as he never kissed Mizuki’s lips.

“So you have not even given her a real kiss? Gosh! Aniki, don’t tell me that you haven’t did that kinda thing?” Keisuke continued.

“No,” Ryosuke replied.

Keisuke pulled a skirt out from the bag, “Size 6… Pretty skinny. That's the type that you like. So you’re bringing her home.”

“Yah, she’s been here twice. Why?” Ryosuke asked, annoying.

Keisuke smiled and bended closer to Ryosuke’s ear, “Be careful. Nowadays, kid can be wild too!”

Keisuke then walked out of his brother’s room. He had enough information about his brother’s girlfriend.

Takumi was walking home with Nanami as usual. She was quieter than normal, which Takumi worried. She did not speak to him for the whole day after last night.

“Seven, you hate me?” he asked.

“Yes, I am,” she replied in an angry tone.

“Sorry about last night,” he apologized.

“Do you know how embarrassing?” she asked as she pointed at the hickey on her neck.

“I thought you were angry about what we did last night?” Takumi said.

“You’re dumb. How can I upset about …,” Nanami turned away shyly. “But you shouldn’t leave this on me. Do you know how people look at me today?”

Takumi kissed her lips and smiled, “Sorry, I won’t do it again. By the way, you’re moving back to my house, right? Oyaji told me this morning.”

Nanami nodded with a smiled.

Iris was happy with her victory. She slowly walked down the street after parked her car at home. She was thinking about the race she just had. It gave her a completely different feeling from the previous races with her sister. Though it was not her first victory, it was because she had found friends whom she could share her achievement with. Unlike her previous races, her sister never once felt happy for her victory. They never celebrated their winning, but always headed in different direction. Mizuki never came home with her after the race. She never knew where her sister was and what time she came home every night. She had made the right decision, which made her much contented. She soon reached the Takahashi's house, leaning against the wall and wondered if Keisuke was at home. There was only a white FC in the garage, which meant that Ryosuke was the only one at home. She waited for a little while as she felt like sharing her feeling with him. It was a while before she decided to walk home.

"Beep…Beep…"

Iris jumped when she heard the loud horn right behind her.

"You're scaring me!" She yelled at the driver, who was grinning at her reaction.

"What are you doing in front of my house?" Keisuke asked with a grin on his handsome face.

Iris opened the door on the other side and got into the car. "I… nothing. Can you send me home? I'm tired." She asked as she sat back and relaxed, knowing that he would never refuse her.

The bright yellow FD stopped in front of the white gate, blocking the main entrance. Iris got out of the car with Keisuke followed behind. They stopped at the gate and seemed that Keisuke did not want her to get into the house yet. He moved closer to Iris, who was leaning against the wall, and held her hands. Staring into her eyes, his emotion was building up inside. He moved closer to Iris, close enough to feel her breathe and sense her soft skin. His fingers were running down her long brown hair before he tucked it behind her earlobe. Iris was looking at him with a little pinky blush on her cheeks. He then slowly pressed his lips on her, as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the tender kisses from her boyfriend.

At the other end of the street, Mizuki was walking down the street towards her house. She was very bored that night and decided to come home. First thing she saw was the yellow FD in front of her gate. She walked over and looked around, wondering. ‘What's he doing here at this hour? Doesn't he have a home?’

As soon as she looked up, she was shocked and quickly turned away from the intimating scene in front of her eyes. She leaned back against the FD, waiting for the couple to finish.

‘How long are they going to kiss? Don't they feel embarrassing? …’ Mizuki thought as questions were popping up in her head.

She looked at the couple again. Keisuke was holding her sister in his arms. It looked like he would never let her go.

‘Why doesn’t he bring Iris home and … Hey, Micky! What are you thinking now? I shouldn’t encourage that!’ Mizuki was arguing silently.

The dark part of her was gaining the stand and telling her that there was nothing wrong with the premarital sex. She sighed and tried to shake those corrupted idea out of her head.

‘Should I wait or … hey, it’s almost midnight and I can’t go to Bunta’s house. I’d better do something about this. I’m damn sleepy now.’ She yawned and walked over to the couple. She tapped the man's shoulder and said, "It's not appropriate to do it here, why don't you continue in the house?"

Iris pushed Keisuke away by her first instinct when she saw Mizuki. Both Iris and Keisuke dared not look at the girl. Mizuki knew how embarrassing it was to interrupt them like this. She quickly slipped into the house, pretending that she saw nothing. Iris followed her sister automatically before she looked back at Keisuke outside the gate. She had something to tell him; at least he needed a goodnight kiss. However, her sister was the first thing she must deal with at this moment. She turned back and entered the house immediately.

Mizuki was smiling at her sister's guilty expression that she saw before she walked passed them, but still wearing her serious expression on her face. ‘Don't they think that it's too inappropriate to do that in front of the house.’ She thought as she got out her bathroom. She slowly dried her hair with a towel and surprised by her uninvited guest on her bed.

"Are you angry with me, Micky?" Iris asked as her eyes were studying at the floor.

"So he's you boyfriend, huh?" she asked with a grin.

"Yes," the older girl replied. "We’ve been together for a while.”

Mizuki nodded with her understanding and thought, ‘Yah! You’ve been staying over at his place some times.’

Iris threw the pillow at the younger girl’s face and hid her shyness under one of the pillows. Mizuki began to question and teased her sister.

"I don’t wanna talk to you anymore!" Iris said shyly and quickly went back to her room.

"Next time find a safer place. I'm still an underage." Mizuki smirked before Iris slammed the door shut.

Mizuki walked to her Integra early that morning. She sighed as she got out of the house and stood at her car, listening to the noises from the building. She shook her head and did a few stretches before she got into her car. She smiled at the bright yellow FD that just arrived and drove off at a high speed. Keisuke looked at the driver with a shock. Iris walked out of the house soon after she heard the rotary engine of the FD.

"That's my sister. Did she scare you just now?" Iris asked the driver after seeing his expression.

Keisuke nodded and looked at his girlfriend, "Your sister? Twins?" He asked, curiously. That was the first question he could think of after seeing both sisters for the first time.

Iris chuckled, "We aren't twins. She's my younger sister, Mizuki. She's two years younger than me, to be exact, she's only 17 now."

"What? 17? Are you sure? How can she drive the car around? It's illegal!" He exclaimed in his disbelief. Mizuki’s driving skill was not what a 17 years old kid would have. He knew that she was good at the first instance.

"Don't worry. Micky won't get caught so easily with that kinda driving' skills… You seem to interested in my sis, huh?" Iris teased.

"No… I just curious, that's all. You should know I'm only interested in you.” He looked at the girl, as he began to play with her long hair. ”By the way, what happened last night?" he asked in his concerns.

Iris remained quiet and looked at his anxious expression. ‘He's so cute.’

"She… She was very angry… She threatened to tell my mum about it. What should I do now?" Iris said, anxiously before she could not bear anymore. She began to laugh at his expression and thought. ‘He's so scared of Micky.’ "Keisuke, I was kidding. My sister said nothing, but teased me all the night."

“Is it so? Then I must punish you for making fun of me!” He said and bent forward.

“Hey, Keisuke. We’ll be late for class,” Iris reminded him of the more important thing to do.

“Okay, you’ll pay me later,” he said and pulled out of the gate.

At midnight

A man in his messy shirt and loose tie emerged from the dark grey S15 at the top of Mt. Nasu. He leaned against his car with a stick of Marlboro Light hanging on his lower lip, as he waited for his friend. At the bottom of the pass, a grey 300ZX roared up this dark and desert pass and pulled over next to the S15.

“What’s up, Koji? Look likes you having a little fight with your girl again?” Toshio, a man in a dirty grey workshop overall, asked with a grin after he looked at that messy, just woke up attire.

“Hai, I was about to have some fun, but…” Koji sighed with annoyance when he recalled what happened an hour ago that turned him off and rushed here. He continued, straight into the point, “A girl is challenging us to a race tomorrow. I heard that she's kinda pretty so are you interested?”

“A girl? Umm… It depends if she’s worth… Pretty? Whose description was that?” Toshio smirked.

Koji nodded with a smile, "Our friend at the gas station. I suggest you'd better dress up in cleaner attire or else she will be mine."

Takahashi brothers, Fumihiro and Kenta arrived at the peak of the desert pass in Nasu after Ryosuke heard about the Celica’s schedule from a reliable source. They came to watch the race between the mysterious Celica and the local racers. To Ryosuke, he did not coming to this pass, especially if he was to see one of the men here. Toshio walked over to Ryosuke with a suspicious grin on his face, which reminded Ryosuke of someone.

“Long time no see! What are you doing here tonight? I think Koji will be very happy to see you again here. You might drive him crazy!” Toshio greeted his old friend or maybe old rival, throwing his heavy arm on Ryosuke's shoulder.

“You knew it.” Ryosuke shook off Toshio's arm and replied, “Let me introduce you my brother, Keisuke and this is Kenta, our team member.”

“Hi, I’m Ishida Toshio.” The long hair man greeted both younger guys.

“Where’s Koji?” Fumihiro asked when he did not see another man. He had accidentally stepped on the mine, as Ryosuke immediately gave his friend a fierce stare.

Ring… Ring… Ring…

“Takahashi desu,” Ryosuke answered his call and slowly smiled as he spoke through the speaker. “I’ll pick you up from work later… So what time do you knock off? Hmm… I see… Be careful… Ja!”

Toshio looked at Ryosuke with surprise when he overheard the soft conversation over the phone.

“I never heard that you have a girlfriend,” Toshio said.

“It’s not important to anybody. I prefer to keep it private,” Ryosuke replied in a firmed voice.

“You’re going to break a lot of girls’ heart,” his friend smirked.

“Here he is!” Toshio replied and looked at the S15 that just arrived.

“What are you doing here, dude?” Koji asked Ryosuke as he wrapped his hands around the taller man. "Miss me?"

Keisuke and Kenta were bewildered by Koji’s action. Ryosuke pushed Koji away immediately and gave him a usual cold glare. He did not like Koji’s tease since they first knew each other and was once mistaken that Koji was gay. Koji noticed the two boys’ expression and smiled shyly.

“Hey, take it easy!” Koji told Keisuke and Kenta who had already moved a few steps backward.

“Where’s our little chick, Toshio?” Koji asked his friend after he returned to his normal self.

“She should be here soon.” Toshio replied, “I’ll show her how dangerous this pass is.”

“Make way!” someone shouted, as he saw a flash headlight from the coming car.

A red Celica drove pass the men. Iris was surprised to see Keisuke at the pass. She pulled up behind the pink Supra and got out in her boy’s outfit, pulling her cap low enough not to be recognized. She slowly walked over to Toshio and Koji.

In the meanwhile, Ryosuke was watching the Celica’s driver talking to his friends. After a short while, Iris stomped back to her car in an annoying manner after hearing what the two men wanted. Ryosuke knew how angry the Celica's driver was by watching her puff and huff at the other side of the road.

“You've lost to a girl!" He told his brother. Keisuke turned to look at the young driver. The RedSuns could not believe that that was a girl.

'I was beaten by this girl twice! God! This is impossible!' Keisuke cursed silently in his disbelief, crunching his fist.

The race started with the downhill in a short while. Celica VS S15. Iris threw away her cap and put on dark sunglasses, revving up her engine. The Celica was roaring furiously, just like her moods at this moment.

“The Celica purposely let Koji take the lead.” Ryosuke commented when he saw that the Celica slowed down her speed a little before it moved behind the S15. “That Celica is a little strange; I've never seen any Celica sound this way before. Keisuke, do you know how good this girl is? Although Koji is good, I doubt he could stop the girl from passing.”

Keisuke frowned when he heard his brother's comment.

“I know Koji well. He might not let the girl win this race that easily because they engaged in some sort of forfeit and Koji won’t let it slip.” Ryosuke continued, recalled his match with Koji two years ago.

In the meanwhile, Keisuke was hoping that the Celica would win the race, as he just simply disliked Koji.

“I never expected to see another young driver around here.” Ryosuke said, thinking about the Akina 86’s driver.

“Aniki, are we going to race with her?” Keisuke asked curiously.

“She’s not belonging to any team and no one knows her home course.” Fumihiro added.

Ryosuke had his own thought. In any cases, he would definitely stick to his rule. However, he was quite interested to see how the uphill race would unveil. The uphill race followed shortly after the S15 passed the finishing line.

"5…4…3…2…1…Go!" Koji put his hand down, while both cars roared passed her.

Two cars raced neck-to-neck as they approached the first turn. Iris stepped up and managed to take the lead. She swung back as she cleared the first corner.

'Don't look at the mirror.' Iris reminded herself twice as she tried to look at her rear view mirror.

Iris told herself again and paid full attention on the road. She raced in full throttle on the 400 meter long straightway. The difference in their horsepower made her easier to widen the gap on the straight road. Inside her, she tried very hard to recall the races that she had and calculated for her next move. Her foot was on the brake, but not stepped on it yet. ‘Here!’ She kicked down on the brake, shifted down to gear two and turned the steering wheel as she cross the deep corner.

"Let me see how good you are," Toshio said as he watched the Celica with two car-spaces behind it.

Iris was managing well in the first half of the course, which was more favorable for a Celica. As she raced up the pass, she could felt some pressure was building up. The 300ZX was closing the gap and now at her tail. She dared not look at the mirror and was losing her concentration. Suddenly, Iris was bewildered when she realized that she had made a mistake, a fatal one.

“Shit! I’ve made a mistake.” Iris cursed when she realized the difference between the corner that she saw and the one in her thought. She managed to steer her Celica back to the course after she ran into the pile of hard soil along the side. The 300ZX easily passed her on the left and widened the gap.

'… There's a way to keep up with the car ahead by maintaining the speed at the entry and exit …' Iris recalled her driving with her brother when they were racing back in States.

Iris regained her concentration and fixed her eyes on the 300ZX ahead of her. She had not given up; instead, she floored her gas and braked as late as she could. For one reason, it was the disgusting forfeit. She drifted her car across each corner, as close to the guardrail as she could. The Celica finally managed to close the gap and waited for her chance.

'How could she do it?' Toshio thought as he noticed that Iris was moving closer to him. 'Does the turbo stop working? Shit!'

"I'll show you what a girl can do!" Iris swore.

She bet everything on the last straight road before the finishing line. The Celica came out of the corner, paring with the 300ZX as they raced neck to neck toward the finishing line. Iris walked over to her opponent.

"Don't ever look down on girls again! Loser!" she said with a humiliated glare and a hand sign.

She then left the pass, heading home.

“This is worth watching,” Ryosuke commented before he walked to his FC and left the pass.

“Keisuke, if you wanna defeat this girl, you’d better practice harder,” Fumihiro told the younger driver.

“She reminds me of Hachi-Roku,” Keisuke replied. “I won’t lose again!”

“By the way, when did Ryosuke got a girlfriend?” Fumihiro asked, as they heading back to Akagi.

“A few weeks ago,” Keisuke briefly replied.

“I see. He finally got over Kaori,” Fumihiro said.

“Don’t mention about that bitch!” Keisuke cut his friend off.

He hated that name because that was the girl that hurt his brother so much that had made Ryosuke changed to another person. That was the previous Ryosuke’s girl who left with another racer. The same girl who had changed his brother to an ice man as everyone seen.

“Have you seen her?” Fumihiro asked about the new girl.

“Not really, but I knew that Aniki is happy with her,” Keisuke replied. “At least, she is a doctor so it should not be a problem with my parents.”

“Great to hear that. I wish he will bring her out with us,” Fumihiro said.

“Let’s wait,” Keisuke replied.
