i'll ask her of it but no pomised since she back and forth from tokyo and kuala lumpur always...married to my brother...lucky guy

Oh it's okay, crav3... Sorry for bothering you.

BTW, RPM 8 is upped, guys... Check it out!

here is RPM 11

RPM 11: Steve’s Doom

After dropping Kojiro at the garage, Hikaru gets back to his house. It’s already late…
“So, how’s the race meeting goes?” Seno asks, “Is it fun?”

“Very! I meet these westerners who like GT-R very much! I also meet Kojiro’s mentor” Hikaru said excitingly, “There are fun people like them around… This world is not as small as I think it is”

“Well, it’s late already” Seno smiled, “You know what? I just get promoted as the head director! It’s all thanks to Rena’s idea!”

“Wow! Congrats, sis…” Hikaru smirked, “And?”

“I bought a new car for myself!” Seno continues, “I can’t wait to get it delivered tomorrow and drive it around! Let’s eat somewhere tomorrow”

“Do you bring Rena along?” Hikaru asked, “You got promoted because of her, right?”

“Of course, silly” Seno answers, “She also gets a raise of salary”

“Uh… Do I get a raise too?” Hikaru asks, “The gas price is sky high, and my pocket money stays the same…”

“Of course… not” Seno answered, “You are a street racer, why don’t you get some decent income from the races?”

“Geez… Don’t be so stingy, sis” Hikaru frowned

“Well, go get some sleep” Seno pats Hikaru’s head, “I’ll think about it… In another decade perhaps”

Hikaru pouted; he goes back to his room immediately to get some sleep. It’s been a long and tiring day for him.
“Huff…” Hikaru sighed, “Good night… Sky”

Tomorrow morning, a sound of horn is heard from the front of their house. It was the courier from Honda dealership

BEEEEP! BEEEEP!

“Its looks like the Fit is here!” Seno immediately gets up and changes her clothes, “This is exciting”

Hikaru on the other hand is still sounds asleep. He has bad habits of overslept.

The courier has come to deliver 2nd generation Honda Fit Seno ordered. The color was silver, and it’s automatic with paddle shift.
“Hikaru! Hikaru!” Seno called from downstairs, “The Fit is here, help me inspecting it!”

“Hold up!” Hikaru yawns, “It’s so early… What is the dealership thinking?”

Hikaru tidied up his bed, and go downstairs to help his sister up.
“So this is Honda Fit” Hikaru pats the bonnet, “One of the most economical car of the year”

“This is the 1.5 liter version… with paddle shift on the steering wheel” Seno said, “How is it, Hikaru?”

“I can’t say for sure… It’s good though that you buy a car” Hikaru gets into the car and ignites the engine, “Let’s get this thing inside the garage”

Hikaru turns on the key and the engine is ignited. The engine’s sound is very quiet, unlike his GT-R’s engine
“So… quiet” Hikaru thought, “So this is what a fuel economic car feels like”

“Drive it inside, Hikaru” Seno opens the garage

Hikaru parks the Fit beside his GT-R. When he sees his GT-R, he feels strange… feeling of inferiority shrouds him in this small car
“…”

“What’s wrong? Feels weird?” Seno smiled

“Yes… it’s too far inferior compared to Sky Captain” Hikaru answers, “I’m going to take a bath”

“Do that. After that, give Rena a call so we can go out together to get something to eat” Seno said

“I will” Hikaru replies as he goes to the bathroom

After taking the bath, Hikaru gets his cell phone to call Rena up.

At Rena’s house, Rena is still sounds asleep. Even though Rena acts womanly and politely at every occasion, she can be a different person on another time. She can be very seducing when asleep; only wears shirts and underwear, like most of matured sexy women.

KRRRRRRR! KRRRRRRR! KRRRRRRR!

Her phone is set only to vibrate when she’s asleep, so it didn’t ring when Hikaru calls her.
“Hello” Rena picks the phone, “Who is this?”

“You’re still asleep?” Hikaru asks, “I’ll call back later, then”

“No, no! I’m awake!” Rena answers firmly with blushed face, “What is it, Hikaru? Why you call me at this hour? Got something to tell me?”

“Come on, the sun is already high up in the sky” Hikaru said, “It’s not like I’m calling you at the midnight because I can’t sleep… Gee”

“I see… so, what is it, dear?” Rena asks again, “I hope it’s not only to say ‘good morning’”

“No, actually my sister got promoted because of you. So, she’s going to treat us out” Hikaru answered, “By the way, cut the ‘dear’ stuff… I don’t like it”

“Seno-san is going to treat us for a meal” Rena continues, “I’m come over right away… after I take a bath, of course… Do you want to join me?”

“No thanks… Your body does not turn me on” Hikaru replies, “We’ll pick you up”

“Whatever… I’m sure when you see me naked; you’ll hug me immediately to get laid” Rena smiled, “See you soon, honey”

“I told you not to call me with that stuff…” Hikaru said

Rena hung up. Hikaru feels very stupid that he called her
“Sis, next time you call her ok” Hikaru sounds annoyed, “Do you know what she talks about? Her body! How great is that?”

“What’s wrong? She calls you with something you don’t like?” Seno grinned, “Why are you are always avoids contact with women?”

“Well… For starters they are noisy, and crybaby” Hikaru answers, “And second, they are in needs of too much attention… even old cars doesn’t need too much attention like them”

“What about me, then? I’m a woman too” Seno laughs, “You’re just a shy boy who always trying to get an attention”

“Whatever you say, sis” Hikaru sighed, “I’ll heat up the engine”

Hikaru gets out to the garage. He ignites Fit’s engine to heat it up
“…”

The engine sound is very quiet. He doesn’t feel anything menacing from this small engine car. He pops the hood to see what’s beneath it
“Naturally aspirated, inline four, SOHC, 1.5 liter engine” Hikaru mumbles, “I can’t believe sis actually buys this car”

“I already lock up the doors, so… let’s go” Seno hops into the car

Hikaru drives to Rena’s house, with Seno giving out the directions.
“This is her house” Seno said, “Well, what are waiting for Hikaru, go pick her up”

“No freaking way” Hikaru spins his head, “No way I’m going to her house… She’ll eat me whole!”

“I see…” Seno replied, “Wait here then”

Seno gets off from the car, and goes inside Rena’s house while Hikaru waits outside
“What are you thinking, Rena?” Seno seems puzzled, “I told you Hikaru hates it when a girl acts aggressively”

“I’m sorry! I’m just teasing him out a bit” Rena smiled, “I’m sure he’ll forget it soon”

“No! What you did earlier makes him very scared of you” Seno sighed, “He thinks that you’re going to eat him whole”

Now Rena is the one who looks very confused. Acting aggressive and seducing is not going to urges Hikaru to be her boyfriend
“What am I supposed to do then?” Rena sighed

“Just act casually like nothing is happened” Seno said, “I’m sure he’ll get over it soon”

“Okay then, let’s go” Rena locks the door

Rena sits at the front, while Seno in the back. Hikaru drives very slow to maintain fuel economy
“This car has great fuel economy… Unlike your GT-R” Rena said

“Yep… and this makes it very weak against my GT-R” Hikaru smirked

“Hikaru, there are more things in this world, than just fast car and uneconomic ones” Seno said, “You need to reconsider it once in awhile”

“I never will” Hikaru replies, “As long as there is hydro-carbon, I will always use it to quench my car”

“This is the kind of person that will worsen our planet” Rena shakes her head

“As long as there is motor racing, people will also depend on the oil” Hikaru sighed, “What will you do to your bike? Feed it water?”

“If there is technology to do that; yes! I will feed it water” Rena replies

“I see… Have you considers the performance and the availability of the technology yet?” Hikaru asks again

“…”

Rena doesn’t give any reply. She knows it’s pointless to argue about such thing with Hikaru.
“Exactly, there isn’t any technology like that just yet” Hikaru continues, “I’m right, huh? As long as industrial growth is on progress, oil will always be used”

“That’s not exactly true, Hikaru” Seno cuts in, “What we’re doing is at least to lessen the effect for the global warming. If you don’t get it, what will happen to your cute polar bears you like, huh?”

“… I like polar bears. They are cute and fluffy” Hikaru replied

“Fufufu” Rena laughs silently

“What’s that?” Hikaru asks, “Do you have something to say to me?”

“Nothing” Rena answers, “I just don’t expect a macho guy like you, to have a liking to polar bears”

“Then what do you like?” Hikaru asks, “You must have some liking too in this world, right?”

“Well… I like fast bike” Rena said, “I also like fast cars”

“Fast car always runs on gas” Hikaru said back

Rena only sighed and throws a smile at Hikaru to make him stop talking
“… I hate that smile” Hikaru replied, “I can’t tell what’s on your mind”

“I’m just smiling, what do you think I’m doing?” Rena keep smiling, “You don’t like the way I smiled to you Hikaru?”

“I also found out that there is a car that’s faster than your Sky Captain” Seno adds, “I’m sure you figure it out sometime later”

“What kind of car that stands a chance against the Sky Captain? European exotics” Hikaru asked

“More or less… There is small Japanese car which if tuned correctly, can be faster than GT-R” Seno answers

Hikaru stops talking. He realizes that it’s stupid to continue arguing with them.
“Let’s go to shopping district, and eat at Hanamasa” Seno points the way

“All you can eat! Let’s go!” Hikaru smirked

“So immature” Rena thought, “When it’s about food or cars, he’s get all excited”

They eat at Hanamasa restaurant in the shopping district. After they spend their time about two hours, they shop for clothes and shoes.
“Sis, what about this Adidas shoe?” Hikaru takes a red and black colored Adidas Thrillrahna

“Okay, take it. While you’re at it, why don’t you get that Adidas Jake Messenger bag?” Seno nods, “Rena, which clothes do you want?”

“Umm… What about this D&G shirt and short skirt?” Rena shows the clothes to Seno

“Take it” Seno smiled, “Anything else? What about the high boots, Rena?”

“It’s okay, I have enough” Rena answers

“I don’t mind” Seno gets the boots from the rack and give it to Rena

“Thank you, ma’am” Rena bows, “Thank you for the present”

“Try it out at the fitting room over there” Seno points a fitting room at the corner of the shop, “I’ll try mine too”

“I’m going to pay this shoe and bag” Hikaru nods

“Here is the money for the shoe” Seno gives some money to Hikaru and go to the fitting room

Hikaru immediately pays for the shoe and bag. After he pays for both of it, he gets back to wait for them. Women like to try out many types of clothes. Seno comes out first to hear what Hikaru thinks about the clothes she’s going to buy
“What do you think, Hikaru?” Seno asks, “Is this floral line skirt looked great on me?”

“That’s nice… but the colors are not perfectly match. The blouse is too dark” Hikaru answers

“I see… I need to change the blouse to lighter color, is that right?” Seno asks again

“Yes… white would be nice, if paired with light blue” Hikaru nods

“What about me, Hikaru? Is this looks good on me?” Rena asked

Hikaru’s eyes widen. He also blushed when he sees Rena tries her clothes. She wears white shirts with black vinyl short skirt, and black vinyl vest, not to mention high boots. She purposely left the upper and the lower buttons open, to show some of her nice round and big bosoms and her flat stomach.
“That’s nice… Very nice if I may say” Hikaru smiled happily

“This clothes feels very light and cool” Rena spins to show Hikaru every aspect of her image

Hikaru gulped hard. He begins to imagine what Rena looked like without any clothes at all. Unconsciously, his nose begins to bleed, but he immediately wipes it off.

“Yes, yes… I know” Hikaru nods, “Its top branded clothes… Moneys don’t lie”

“I’m going to take this one” Rena nods, “And the next one is… that clothes over there”

Rena points to another clothes; it’s a Chinese light blue cheongsam, with side opening on the skirt.
“Please get it for me, Hikaru” Rena said

“Here you go…” Hikaru gets the cheongsam and give it to Rena

“Thank you” Rena smiled

Hikaru sit back and bite his lip.
“What am I thinking?” Hikaru thought to himself, “If I stay here a bit longer, I’ll definitely lose my mind… She is definitely right about her sexy body”

Hikaru spins his head few times and slaps his own face to wake from his fantasy. He decided to leave them alone and wait outside. When Hikaru tries to leave, Seno comes out to show the white blouse and light blue floral skirt
“How is this, then?” Seno shows the clothes she wears

“That’s good, sis…” Hikaru nods, “If I may, I want to go to the toilet first”

“Of course…” Seno said, “It’s over there”

Hikaru immediately steps out to the toilet. Not sure what he’ll do there, though.
“What do you think, Hikaru…?” Rena said, “Where is he?”

“Looks like the fish is tempted to bite the bait” Seno smirked, “He runs away to the toilet… to do something there”

Meanwhile at the toilet, Hikaru washes his face and wipes it with toilet paper.
“Huff” Hikaru sighed, “What am I thinking? It’s not like me to be tempted to do anything to other people… She’s so sexy I want to… Aaaahhh, stop it!!”

Everybody that’s in the toilet turns their head to Hikaru. What they see was Hikaru’s face, filled with doubt.
“Is everything alright, kid?” a man asks him

“Yes… I just a little dizzy, that’s all” Hikaru answers, “Thank you for asking”

Hikaru gets back to the clothes store to check on his sister and Rena. They are at the counter to pay for the clothes they buy.
“Your face looks pale, Hikaru… What’s wrong?” Rena asks, “Are you sick?”

“I’m just not myself today” Hikaru answers, “No need to worry, though”

“You looked tired…” Seno said, “You sure you alright?”

“I’m fine… Just a little tired, maybe” Hikaru answers with low voice, “Can we go home now?”

“What do you say, Rena? Want to go home now?” Seno asks, “Let’s drop Hikaru back at the house, and get back here”

“Maybe we should go back first” Rena nods, “Hikaru doesn’t looked too well”

“You’re right…” Seno replies, “Let’s go back home first”

They all get back due to Hikaru’s unknown condition. Seno drives the car and dropped Hikaru at the house.
“I can go in by myself” Hikaru gets off from the car, “You guys have fun, okay?”

“Are you sure you’re alright? You looked very pale” Rena seems worried

“’I’m fine… don’t worry” Hikaru nods, “See you later”

When Hikaru goes into the house, Rena and Seno grinned. They feel very satisfied teasing Hikaru.
“Let’s move on to the next step” Seno said, “Make him jealous”

“Jealous? Why is that?” Rena looks puzzled, “I thought this is done”

“Not quite, honey” Seno adds, “Make him realized that you’re precious. Let him take you away from the grasp of somebody that likes you”

“I suppose that can be used” Rena replies, “I will look for somebody that’s fit the description”

“One thing, Rena” Seno continues, “Don’t ask one of his friend to do it… They are very loyal to him, and our plan will be disturbed”

“I wont” Rena nodded, “I wonder what he’s doing in the house”

“Maybe going straight to bed, and imagining things about you?” Seno lift her shoulders, “Who knows? I’m just predicting things”

That however, was very wrong. Hikaru is inside the garage and jacking his car up to change his rims and tires.
“Luckily Kojiro gives me a new set of tires” Hikaru thought, “I can clear my mind by changing the tires and rims”

Hikaru gets an L’Arc~En~Ciel music disc from his room and listen to it with very loud volume. He is one weird guy alright.
“This is Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position UNI-T” Hikaru thought, “This thing has Y grade in it, and it’ll certainly survive the 300 KM/H run on Wangan. This will looked good on LM-GT4 that I bought”

After he changes them, he wipes his hands, and heats up the engine.
“I’m going to forget all of this dirty thought about Rena on the street” Hikaru bawls, “Let’s go, Sky”

“Running from something is not going to solve anything you know” Sky replied, “You like her, don’t you?”

Hikaru opens the garage, and gets his car out.
“I’m not going to answer that question” Hikaru gets into his car and revs his engine

“Whatever” Sky continues, “You are the one who knows your heart very well”

“Okay, let’s… go!” Hikaru said excitedly

When he shifts to 1st gear, his engine suddenly halts. Looks like something was wrong… way wrong.
“What is it this time?” Hikaru sighed, “You’re not thinking to hold me in the house, are you?”

“No, why would I do that?” Sky asked, “Check out the gasoline gauges”

When Hikaru checks it, there was no gas left. The lamp sign of gasoline turns red.
“Damn!” Hikaru kick his tire, “No gas! Looks like I forget to buy it after yesterday’s event”

“Let’s just get me back inside, and you can have a rest” Sky said

“Good idea” Hikaru pushes his car back to the garage

Tired after pushing the car, Hikaru drops himself at the floor. GT-R was a heavy car indeed.
“Damn it! You’re way heavy” Hikaru said, “I’m going to get something to drink. I’ll buy you gas later, after I take a rest”

“Serves you right” Sky replies, “See you later”

Hikaru throws himself to the bed. He is very tired, and feels very dizzy.
“Aaaargh, I shouldn’t have tag along just now!” Hikaru shouts from his room

Later at 3 P.M., Seno and Rena come back home from shopping. After they park the Fit to the garage, they go inside the house. Feel very tired but satisfied; they throw themselves at the big couch at the living room and giggles at each other.
“Look at you, Rena…” Seno said, “Very sexy with that light brown dye you choose”

“Is it really looking sexy on me? I wonder what Hikaru will say…” Rena replies, “Where is he?”

“Perhaps he’s at his bedroom” Seno answered, “Why don’t you check at him, while I make us some lemonade?”

“Is it alright?” Rena asks, “I’m afraid I will disturb him while he’s sleeping”

“Just walk quietly, and you’ll be just fine” Seno answers, “He’s very adorable when he’s asleep… just like a baby”

Rena immediately goes up to see Hikaru in his room. Hikaru’s room is very tidy. He loves tidiness, and always cleans his room once a week. Dominated by white paint, his room looks very cool and very bright. Hikaru asleep at his bed, covered in black sheet. A poster of Nissan Skyline GT-R sticks at the wall beside his bed.
“So cool and bright” Rena thought, “I thought his room was very dirty, with girls’ posters everywhere”

Rena approaches him on the bed, to take a closer look on Hikaru face. He moves a bit making Rena panics and almost scared to death. Luckily, he doesn’t wake up and feel’s Rena’s presence.
“Whew… I thought I will die for sure” Rena thought while holding her chest

Hikaru did looks adorable when asleep. He’s very handsome with his hairs scattered at the pillow.
“I want to kiss your lips so bad…” Rena whispered

“Hm” Hikaru opens his eyes

Rena was in front of his face, and it certainly makes him very panic. Rena doesn’t look too worried though, considering she enters someone’s room without the permission.
“What! What are you doing in my room?” Hikaru asks in panic

“Your sister asks me to wake you up” Rena answers, “She’s making some lemonade for us… So, wake up”

“Ok. Thanks” Hikaru yawned

“I see you changed your tires and rims” Rena said

“I got nothing to do” Hikaru replied, “So instead of sitting around, I just change it. By the way, what happened to your hair? Looks weird”

“Does it look weird to you? Your sister ask me to dye my hair, so I dye it with this light brown color” Rena answered, “Do you like it?”

“Certainly… not” Hikaru said while sticking his tongue out

“Whatever. I didn’t dye it to impress you, anyway” Rena gets out from the room,” Come on, the lemonade is ready”

When Rena is no longer at the room, Hikaru talk to himself.
“Now I know, why most of the guys hard to say the truth to the girls they like” Hikaru whispered, “Oh, well… whatever!”

Tomorrow morning at the school…
“Looks like this class are going to get merrier!” Yue-sensei said, “Let me introduce you 2 overseas students from Spain and New York. Come on in!”

The students are both girls. One of them is an American, and the other looks like French and Spanish descendant.
“Please, introduce yourself” Yue-sensei said to them

“My name is Maria Jessica Rosemary. How do you do?” said the Spanish girl, “My age is nineteen, and I’m from Spain. My hobby is cooking, and I like outdoor sports activities”

Jessica is the type of Latino woman with slender body, and white skin. Her body is perfectly shaped because of the outdoor sports. Big bosom and big butts, is some of the good result you get from sporting… and it makes you healthier too.
“As for me, my name is Sarah Johnson. My age is also nineteen, and I’m from New York” the other girl said, “My hobby is painting and cooking. Let me paint you sometimes… and please don’t worry, I very skillful with art”

Everyman that knows her will be attracted to her womanly nature. Her painting skills are not the only thing she has. Sarah Johnson is very sexy too. Not only she has good butt, she also has the mature woman’s bosom.

Moreover, both of them like to cook. This is what will make them to be one of the most wanted girls at the class besides Rena.
The male students are getting restless. They begin to speak one another regarding these two cute and sexy ladies. They begin to show their ‘manly’ looks, to impress them.
“These people are so stupid” Steve whispered, “What do you think, Hikaru?”

“Why you ask me?” Hikaru lift his shoulders, “You interested in them?”

“Damn right you are” Clark cuts in, “This is the moment I’ve been waiting for”

“Not you too Clark” Steve whispers

“This is our big chance, Steve!” Clark said excitedly

“Please have a seat beside Steve and Clark over there” said Yue-sensei, “They are the bad boys- please watch yourself”

“Geez… we are not thieves or anything” Steve scratches his head

Jessica sit beside Steve, and Sarah sit beside Clark.
“How do you do Steve?” Jessica said, “I’m Jessica, but you can call me Jessie”

“Nice to meet you” Steve replied, “I’m Steve”

“Hi, how do you do?” Sarah smiled to Clark

“I’m good” Clark smiled back, “Welcome to Tokyo National High School”

At the lunch break, Rena and the girls are hanging out at the usual place; the tables near a big tree.
“Rena, you dye your hair?” Rika asks, “The color looks perfect on you”

“Thank you, Rika” Rena smiled, “It’s all thanks to Seno-san. She’s the one who take me to the beauty saloon at the shopping district”

“What do you say if we go to the shopping district Rena talked about?” Marie said, “It’ll be fun”

“Hi, girls can we join in?” Jessie asked Rena and the others

“Please, have a seat here” Rena said to them, “Girls, this is the overseas students from NYC and Spanish… Meet Jessica and Sarah”

“Hi to all of you” Sarah nods, “Pleased to make your acquaintance”

“This is Rika, our class leader and Tarou’s girlfriend. This is Yuuri, neighboring class leader and Souya’s girlfriend” Rena continues

“This is Marie, Gonsuke’s girlfriend. Ayase here is Iwami’s girlfriend, and the last one is Sako is Yamada’s girlfriend” Rika adds

“Wow” Jessie looks impressed, “All of them has boyfriends already? What about you, Rena?”

“Me? Well, I have the target, but I’m waiting for his declaration” Rena smiled, “What about you two?”

“The foreigner at our class looks handsome and hot” Sarah said, “Are they still single?”

“Yes they are” Marie answered, “Originally, all of them just like their leader; Hikaru who only loves cars”

“Marie, it’s rude to talk about Hikaru in front of Rena” Yuuri cuts in

Rena smiled. She has no problem at all about Hikaru being talked about like that.

“But oh that’s the truth” Rena nods, “He is such a car maniac jerk”

“Now, now Rena-chan” Sako calm Rena down, “Please be patient”

“Sako-chan is right, Rena-chan. Patience can be very rewarding” Ayase adds

Hikaru, Steve, and Clark come to the cafeteria to get something to eat. They get in the line to buy some sandwiches.
“The players are here; Moriyama, Hikaru, and I” Rena said, “Just watch, I have some trick up on my sleeve”

Rena approaches Moriyama to ask for some food to get.
“Moriyama-kun… What are you going to buy for lunch?” Rena asked, “Can I hitch order, please?”

“Sure, what do you want me to buy?” Moriyama smirked, “It’ll be my treat”

“Oh wow! That would be great… Can you order me some beef ramen?” Rena smiled

“Sure, I’ll take it to you later” Moriyama nodded

Hikaru is paying the sandwiches when he saw Moriyama gives a bowl of ramen to Rena.
“What is it, Hikaru?” Steve looks puzzled when Hikaru stares at somewhere else

“Uh, nothing… I guess” Hikaru pays the sandwiches

Hikaru immediately gets back to the class to eat. Clark, who reads what was on Hikaru’s mind, pats Steve’s shoulder to get his attention.
“Check it out, three o’clock” Clark leans his back at the counter

Under the big tree, Rena is giggling with Moriyama along with all of the girls.
“I see” Steve nodded few times, “I should’ve known”

“Let’s get back to class, and cheer him up” Clark said as he gets a can of cola

“Great idea” Steve replies

Rena saw Hikaru’s strange behavior. Even though she feels really bad about tricking him and Moriyama, she had to do exactly like Seno told her.

At the class, Hikaru eats the sandwiches with confuse look on his face. He sure is jealous, seeing them together. Steve and Clark sit beside him to cheer him up
“See what happen?” Hikaru asks them while continues to eat the sandwiches

“Yes, and I feel really sorry for you” Steve sighed, “Cheer up okay?”

“There are lots of girls just like her… or even better, if you want” Clark said

“Thanks for your support, guys” Hikaru smirked, “Lucky I have you two as friends“

After the school is over, Rena walks back home together Moriyama. Hikaru feels very sad, seeing them together. He’s tired worrying about Rena.
“Ever fall in love before?” Hikaru asks with sad tone, “How can you forget the feelings?”

“…” Steve gives no reply

“It’s not my place to say this, but uh… It’s no use. Just let it go” Clark pats Hikaru’s shoulder

“Woman comes and goes from my life just like that” Hikaru sighed, “Well, I guess there’s no use b*tching about it, though. See you guys later…”

Hikaru gets back home with glum looks on his face.
“You seem pretty tired” Seno said, “Got a problem, huh?”

“Not really” Hikaru go into his room, “I’m going to sleep for awhile… I have night shifts tonight”

“I’ll wake you up at seven” Seno nodded

When Hikaru already goes in his room, Seno smiling cause it looks like Hikaru bites the bait.
“Looks like Rena already made a move” Seno thought

Hikaru throws himself to the bed. He stares at the ceiling with empty look. At the ceiling, he still can remember Rena’s voice, Rena’s smile, and Rena’s scent. Before he realized it, he already sounds asleep.

The night has come. It’s almost seven o’clock, so Seno wake him up. He has night shifts at the restaurant. Gonsuke horns his car from the outside to let Hikaru know he’s already arrived to pick him up.
“Hikaru, wake up. You have to go to work” Seno said, “Gonsuke is waiting outside”

“Oh yeah… I’m leaving then” Hikaru grabs his bag and his jacket

“Be careful” Seno replied

“Are you ready to go to work Hikaru?” Gonsuke asked, “The others is waiting at the workplace”

“What’s up? Oh-ho, don’t tell me there is a race tonight!” Hikaru smirked, “let’s get this work over with, and get there immediately”

Hikaru psyched up when he hears about the race. He is one weird guy alright…

At the workplace, he was very energetic. He doesn’t remember anything about his jealousy towards Moriyama and Rena.
“Hikaru, please take this dinner box to this address” the manager said, “And that’s the last one!”

“Right on!” Hikaru grabs the box and runs towards the scooter

“After that, let’s watch the race” Steve smiled, “Too bad you didn’t brought your GT-R along”

“Yes, I can't wait” Hikaru grinned

Hikaru delivers the dinner box to the ordering address. He was very excited about tonight’s race.
“Excuse me… here your order” Hikaru said

At the garage, he saw a Repsol CBR Fireblade parked there. It was Rena’s…
“Oh, Hikaru-kun you worked at the restaurant?” Rika said, “Want to join us studying together? Moriyama is here also”

“I’m just delivering the dinner box” Hikaru replied, “I want to watch the race with the others”

“That’s too bad” Rika said, “Hold up, I’ll call Rena. Rena… Hikaru is here”

“Oh, hi Hikaru” Rena smiled, “You worked at the restaurant, huh?”

“Seems so” Hikaru answered with flat tone

“Here the money” Rika said, “And this is your tip. Thank you”

“Thanks for the order” Hikaru immediately rides his scooter and leave

He speeds up very fast to get back to the restaurant soon. He really can't wait to see the race.

Everyone is waiting inside their cars. They are ready to go, when Hikaru’s back from delivery.
“Hold up, I’ll change the clothes first!” Hikaru said as he runs to the worker’s lounge

After he got changed, he puts the scooter key and that’s it. His work for today is done.
“Hikaru, drive with me” Steve said, “I have something I want to tell you”

“Sure thing” Hikaru gets in, “Manager, we’re leaving”

“Yes, thanks for your hard works” the manager said, “Be careful”

Everyone cruises around with constant speed. They are waiting for Satoshi and Kenjou to meet up at the street. In Steve’s supra, Hikaru was feeling very uneasy. It looks like something awful will happened tonight.
“Feeling uneasy?” Steve sounds serious, “That’s what I want to talk you about”

“What is this feeling of uneasiness?” Hikaru asked, “Looks like something awful will happens”

“You got me there… If there is no challenge for me tonight, I’ll just watch the race” Steve said

“Sorry we’re late… I’ve just accompanying my wife to hospital where she worked” Satoshi said, “Let’s go!”

The meeting place is Chiyoda ku, near Hie Shrine. The course starts from the shrine parking lot, to the outer road while going around the Shrine.
“Well, this is it” Kenjou said, “This is Hie Shrine”

Everybody is whispering to each other when they see High School Street Racer is coming. One after the other is looking at all of its members.
The attention this time was Steve and his red blood Supra. He beats The Ice, and that makes him to be one of the most renowned street racers.
“This air is making me sick” Steve thought, “I better be careful”

When they steps to the center of the parking lot, Steve’s shoelace snaps. It’s a sign of bad omen.
“What is it, Steve?” Tarou asked, “Your shoelace is…”

“Yes… Looks like I won’t be racing tonight” Steve grinned

Just before he gets back to his car, someone is approaching them. It was one of Wild Beast team members.
“You, red blood Supra!” said the man, “Are you the one who beats The Ice?”

“So what if I am?” Steve said back

“I challenge you! This is $5,000… you in or out?” the man said again

“The stake is high, so…” Steve smiled, “I’m in!”

There’s no stopping them. Hikaru and the others are worried about Steve and his car. Bad omen applies too in the street racing world.
“My name is Maeda Maki” said the man, “What’s yours?”

“It’s Steve Blackburn” Steve replied, “Let’s get this over with”

The moment before the race is on, everyone gulped hard. Even though it’s just a drag racing, they still worried. Steve’s opponent is driving an EC5A Mitsubishi Galant VR4.
“I’ll see you at the finish line” Steve grinned

“That’s my word” Maeda replies, “Sky Captain, if you please”

“Why is it always had to be me? Oh, well!” Hikaru lifts his hands, “Ready… three… two… one… Go!”

The moment Hikaru dropped his hands, they launch their cars smoothly. Looks like there will be no problem for Steve. He definitely wins this one.

Steve shifted from gears to gears smoothly with no problem. Same thing goes for Maeda; he handles his VR4 well.
“The road looks just fine” Steve smiled, “I’ll definitely win this one”

Suddenly, a black cat jumped from the tree that grows around the Shrine to the street.
Steve steers hard to avoid the cat, but he blew it. On 200 KM/H, his car flipped to the side of the street. Maeda, who foresaw this, quickly steers his car to the side to avoid Steve’s car. When Steve’s car lit a fire, Maeda immediately gets off from his car to help Steve.

Meanwhile at Rika’s house…
“Au” Jessie nips her left thumb

“What’s wrong, Jess?” Sarah asks, “You cut your finger?”

“Yes… I don’t know why, but something bad has happened” Jessie said

Hikaru and the other all rush towards the scene of the accident. Hikaru helps Maeda gets Steve off from his burning car. After Hikaru and Maeda moves Steve aside, the car explodes. The fire was fiery hot, it lick everything in its path.

GT-Wing, TRD body kit, Enkei rims, everything… from exterior to the engine bay, it’s completely burned down.
“Aaaahhh” Steve groaned, “My hand hurts! It’s burning!”

He held his right arm, while bears an excruciating pain in his face. He said his arm feels burning, looks like it’s broken.
“We have to get him to Yayoi’s hospital!” Satoshi said, “Get him to my car, now!”

The police’s sirens are heard from afar. The neighborhood is alerted by the burning car.
“Get out of here, now!” Kenjou said, “Go home! We’ll meet tomorrow night at Kojiro’s place”

Hikaru gets into Gonsuke’s car to run away. Satoshi is rushing to get Steve to hospital quickly. Every street racer is scatters around, speeding their car to avoid the police.
Luckily, when the police arrived to the scene, they only get a car with fake ID, and destroyed VIN.

Steve is brought to Yayoi’s hospital. Yayoi is Satoshi’s wife.

His right hand is broken, and need to be treated for the day. Lucky for him, Yayoi has late shifts, so he can get an immediate treatment. She is working as head doctor for her family’s hospital.

Racing in the street is dangerous. Steve already installs custom eight points roll cage, and four point harnesses but still gets an injury.

After the doctors are done with Steve’s injury, he is moved to another room. Yayoi approaches Satoshi to talk to him regarding Steve’s right arm.
“How is it, Yayoi?” Satoshi seems worried

“I told you like million times before… racing in the street is dangerous” Yayoi said, “Is that one of your disciples?”

“Yes” Satoshi nods

“You’re a good teacher” Yayoi smiled, “Just before the crash is happened, looks like he guards his ribs, so it doesn’t broke. But as the side effect, his outer hand is broke”

“So he’s guarding his ribs with left hand on the inside, and right hand from the outside?” Satoshi asks, “Thank God he’s alright!”

“I’m not sure about his mental condition, though” Yayoi spins her head few times

“I… see” Satoshi replied

Later that night, Hikaru and the others get a message from Satoshi that says Steve is alright, but needs to be treated. For once, everyone is thinking the same thing; street racing dangerous. They couldn’t help but to fill that in their minds.

At the hospital, around midnight someone calls with the cell phone. It was Steve… looks like he’s calling someone
“It’s been awhile, brother” Steve said, “Please send me a jet tomorrow at about 5 P.M. and I’m coming home”

I already thought about it before... I made skecth of Hikaru, but can't scan it just yet...

here is RPM 12

RPM 12: The New Girl in Town

After school is over, everyone will go to Kojiro’s garage to know what happened to Steve. Because of yesterday racing meet, everyone is keeping their mouth shut about Steve’s accident tightly. No other people need to know about the accident, especially their girlfriends.
“Well, girls… I will go to Kojiro’s garage first, okay?” Tarou said

“Something is wrong right, Tarou?” Rika seems worried, “What is it?”

“Something came up with Steve. He’s meeting us at Kojiro’s garage to talk about his summer vacation” Tarou answers, “Don’t worry, baby… I’ll catch you later”

Not only Rika, everyone is worried. Rena also feels the same. She has a feeling something is wrong with the boys.
“Something happened, Hikaru?” Rena asked

“What do you care so much? It’s not like he’s your friend, is it?” Hikaru lifts his shoulder, “Mind your own business”

“Someone’s jealous about my relationship with someone” Rena grinned, “Are you jealous?”

Hikaru keeps his mouth shut. He doesn’t care anymore about anything that has connection to Rena and Moriyama.
“Hikaru, are you jealous?” Rena looks at Hikaru’s face

“I don’t care whether you have sex with him or whatever in the hell you say” Hikaru said, “Move!”

Hikaru just moves Rena aside to get out from the class immediately. They are really worried about Steve’s mental condition.

At Kojiro’s garage, Steve, Satoshi, and Kenjou are already waiting. Steve right hand is shrouded in white gyps.
“Steve!” Hikaru said, “Are you alright?”

“Of course… but I can't say the same about my Supra” Steve sighed, “Looks like I’ll go back for few weeks to New York City”

“I see” Souya said, “But I’m glad you made it okay, though”

“Well, Kenjou will take me to airport” Steve nods, “See you around, my friends!”

Just before Steve gets into Kenjou’s car, Steve’s whispers something to Clark.
“Please tell Jessie I’m sorry” Steve said, “I’ll be back”

“I will” Clark nodded, “Be careful, my friend”

“Hikaru… Stay fast, alright? I’ll see you soon” Steve said, “And Satoshi, please beat that senior of yours”

Everyone smiled. Steve is a strong guy, and won’t be scared because some small time accident likes that.
“See you later, Steve” Hikaru nodded, “Be safe, my friend!”

“Kenjou, can we go to that ‘place’ first? I need to give my final respect to my old pal first,” Steve said

“Sure thing” Kenjou nods, “Let’s go”

Steve gets into Kenjou’s car and leave towards the airport. That’s was the last time they see Steve for these couple of weeks.
“I hope he found another good car” Iwami said, “its sure no fun without him around”

“Yeah” Gonsuke replies

“Let’s pray for his safety” Yamada adds

“It’s tonight, huh?” Hikaru asked, “I’ll better fill my GT-R’s fuel tank, then”

“Yes, it’s tonight” Satoshi answers, “Don’t be late, guys”

Outside of the restaurant, a black bike is parked.
“Whew… A super bike” Hikaru thought, “A Ducati to be exact”

“What are you doing, Hikaru? We don’t have much time and we got many orders to be delivered” Gonsuke pulls Hikaru’s clothes.

Hikaru and Gonsuke go to the restaurant immediately to work. Only one customer was in the restaurant, though.
“Well, let’s change our clothes first” Gonsuke said

“You go first… I’ll take that customer’s order” Hikaru gives his bag to Gonsuke

Hikaru gets a pan, order paper with pen, and a menu book. He approaches that customer to get the order.
“Can I have your order please?” Hikaru said as he gives the menu book

“Yes” said the customer

The customer was a woman. She is hotter than Rena did. Big boobs, big butt, white skin, and short white silver hair to the shoulder, center styled. She wears Versace black shirt and Versace short skirt with Prada high boots. On the chair where she sits, she hangs a Ducati Tex jacket with Italian national flag on the shoulders… looks like the bike parked outside was hers’

“Is this real hair?” Hikaru pulls the woman’s hair, “This is not costume play party”

“Stop pulling my hair!” said the woman, “You’re hurting me!”

“Ah! So sorry, miss… It’s a bad habit of mine” Hikaru bows to her

“That’s fine” the woman bawled, “I want to order… spicy curry rice with beef, miso soup, and lime squash”

“Yes, please wait a moment” Hikaru nods

“After changing your clothes, can you accompany me here?” said the woman, “its kind of lonely if you eat alone”

Hikaru feels shocked when he hears what the woman had said. When he looked back at the manager; the manager just nodded to him.
“Please wait a moment” Hikaru said as he gets to the back

At the worker’s lounge, Hikaru has a freaked look on his face and his face is pale. Gonsuke seems puzzled and wants to know what had happened to him.
“What’s wrong? Your face is pale” Gonsuke asks

“There is this lady that asks me to accompany her when she’s eating” Hikaru said, “I’m so scared that I could die”

“Why do you so scare of the ladies? You do something bad to her?” Gonsuke asked

“I pull her hairs just now” Hikaru smirked

“Nice going, man” Gonsuke sighed, “What did the girl looked like, anyway?”

Gonsuke takes a peek to outside, and sees the lady Hikaru talked about. He also had one mind course like Hikaru.
“She’s hot!” Gonsuke smiled, “You don’t have the right to complain. She is hotter than Rena or our girlfriends! I envy you…”

“Is that really good? I don’t feel too lucky myself” Hikaru changes his clothes and go back out

“Over here” said the woman

“Yes” Hikaru nods. He shows unwillingness in his face

“What? If you don’t want to accompany me, fine” said the woman again

“No, no, no… that’s not what I meant” Hikaru replies

“Oh, this is so rude of me” the woman smiled, “My name is Amano Yuki. Pleased to meet you, Hikaru”

She talks in rather different ways. Her language is very polite, and she’s using old Japanese language… must’ve come from traditional family with a lot of money. When she said her name and their eyes met, time stopped for Hikaru. The name suits her very well; white silver hair, chilly blue eyes… she is like a walking snow queen. Her perfume smells really cool and fresh.
“Same here” Hikaru shakes her hand

“Please don’t stare at me like that. You’re making me blush here” Yuki said, “From the looks of the situation, you’re currently single… and oh, you have a liking to older woman, huh?”

Hikaru looks more surprised than before. How can she know such a thing? They have only just met momentarily
“Surprised? I can read tarot cards” Yuki giggled, “Oh dear… please don’t be so surprised like that. Want me to read your fortune too?”

“No, thank you” Hikaru replied, “Please enjoy the meal”

Hikaru served the meal, and Yuki eats it. When eating, she is very neat and ladylike. She does come from a rich family, just like Hikaru predicted.

“Umu; Something wrong with the way I’m eating?” Yuki smiled, “Come on, just ask… I know you’re curious about me”

“Not really” Hikaru said

“Can I call you Hikaru-kun?” Yuki asked

“That’s okay” Hikaru nodded

“Hikaru-kun… do you believe in coincidence?” Yuki asks again

“No” Hikaru replied as he pours some hot tea into his cup

“So you believe that everything has their time and place? Interesting” Yuki, said, “Well, the food is really good. Can you take me to your house please? I want to meet up with your sister. It’s been a long time since I didn’t see her”

“You are my sister’s friend? Well then I guess I can take you to her” Hikaru nodded

After work is done, the manager called Hikaru and Yuki to his office.
“Hikaru, she is really beautiful and kind. She reminds me of my wife at the village” the manager smiled, “At first, I don’t believe her fortune telling ability. But after she told me to be careful near the stove, the stove spits some hot oil… thanks to her fortune telling, I survived”

“Even the manager too?” Hikaru looked surprised, “Is she serious?”

“I told you already… I wasn’t lying. Please listen to me from now on” Yuki pouted, “Glad to be able to help, manager. It was fate that meets us together… Your time is not yet arrived”

“Well, we better get back home soon” Hikaru nods

“See you around, manager” Yuki smiled to him

“Yes, please be careful,” replied the manager

At the outside, Hikaru see the Ducati bike earlier.
“You can ride a bike, right? You drive it” Yuki throws the key to Hikaru

“Okay” Hikaru said as he puts the key to the ignition, “Get on”

“Speed up, okay?” Yuki replied

Hikaru doesn’t exactly good with bikes. All he does is just riding scooter, without speeding at all.
“Stop being a snail!” Yuki pats Hikaru’s head

“I can't speed more than this” Hikaru replied

It’s getting late, and the wind is getting cold and colder. Seno is waiting outside the house, while wiping clean her Honda Fit.
“I’m home,” Hikaru said

“Where in the hell’s name you get that bike?” Seno asked with suspicious tone on her voice

“This is hers’, not mine” Hikaru points at Yuki

“How long has it been, Seno?” Yuki ask, “You getting sexier and sexier everyday”

“You are… Yuki! How have you been?” Seno looked surprised

“I’m fine” Yuki answers. “It’s been… eight years, huh?”

“Yes it is” Seno replied

“Sis, who is she?” Hikaru ask, “She claims to be your friend…”

“She is my friend” Seno smiled, “She’s our mother’s apprentice in the village. She learns many things from our mother… We always been a rival in everything”

“Yes, we are…” Yuki smiled, “Can I get something to drink?”

“Sure, come on in!” Seno pulls Yuki’s hand, “I heard you been studying under… Hoshizawa Sachiko. Is that true?”

“Yes I have. I learnt a lot of recipes from her…” Yuki continues

When Hikaru saw his GT-R, he suddenly remember something important

“Oh, yeah, I forgot! I better go now and get this thing filled up, or I’ll be late to the race meeting” Hikaru go to the garage and grabs a jerry can

After Hikaru runs away to buy the gas for his GT-R, Yuki and Seno talk about something serious.
“So, how is ‘it’?” Seno asked

“The engine is still in a good condition, but I change the chassis to R34 for refresher body plan” Yuki answers, “I can't believe it still has a will to run”

“The engine is alive, just like us…” Seno replied, “So, the Black Phantom is here to race my little brother, huh?”

“Black Phantom is your alias, wasn’t it? It’s not like I’m inheriting the title from you” Yuki said, “I came here not only to race him, but I’m going to get to know him. He’s a talented driver indeed”

“Why are being strangers to him? Considering you own that restaurant” Seno narrowed her eyes, “That is called stalking, you know?”

“Hahahaha, don’t sweat the details” Yuki laughs, “I’ve been checking him out, with the manager’s and the boys’ help”

“You mean that uncle we used to help with the chores? He’s here?” Seno asked

“Yes, he worked at Tokyo for a long time. He works here so he can send some money to his family, back in the village” Yuki wonders, “I heard he quit from the grocery store, so I give him a job”

“Wait! I thought Hikaru said that the manager is fired by the owner” Seno cuts Yuki’s words

“No he wasn’t… the owner is Kaoru, so I don’t think that’s the case” Yuki grinned, “He has to do something to make Hikaru accept his challenge. And in the end, Hikaru was the one who challenges him”

“I see. That’s a nice thing Kaoru did for him…” Seno nodded, “What is your fortune telling says this time?”

“Well… something good is going to happens to you little brother. But in order to achieve that, he has to overcome many hurdles in his life” Yuki said

“What does that mean? He’s going to be in trouble?” Seno looks worried

“I can’t say. That’s why I need to watch him carefully” Yuki spins her head, “But if I knew your brother, then he’s going to be just okay”

“I still worried about the hurdle part, though” Seno sighed, “Let’s do our best to keep an eye for him”

“Couldn’t agree more” Yuki lift her shoulders

“I’m back!” Hikaru runs to the garage, “I need to fill the tank and take a bath! Satoshi will have a showdown against Kamata!”

After Hikaru pours all of the gas and heats the engine, he immediately goes to his room. Then he rushed to the bathroom to take a bath.
“What will happen tonight?” Seno asks

“A storm is coming” Yuki show a tarot card to Seno. “It’s a good sign for your brother. Looks like everyone will gather tonight”

“You mean the seniors?” Seno asks again, “This is getting interesting”

“I’m going!” Hikaru said as he runs toward the garage to get his GT-R out

“Be careful out there” said Yuki

“Hey, I’m the one who should say that” Seno grinned

At the meeting place, everyone is waiting already for Hikaru’s arrival; especially Tarou and the others.
“Man, he’s late” Tarou said, “We can't start if he’s not around yet”

Hikaru’s GT-R sound is heard from afar, he’s just around the block. After he parks his car near the rest of his teams, he gets off from his car to begin. The race meet is held at the same exact location as the last time; Minato ku harbor.
“Okay, we can start anytime!” Hikaru nods, “Sorry I’m late”

“Then let’s begin, shall we?” Satoshi gets into his car

“You better be ready, Satoshi” Kamata laughs, “No holds barred”

“Okay, this time it’s a sprint challenge. It’s basically simple, since all you do is to run the harbor from here to there. Just like the last time, but this time, we do it longer than before. From this end, to the other end!” said one of Kamata’s boys, “How about $10,000”

“Sounds good to me” Kamata throws some of his money

“Me too” Satoshi grinned

“You learnt all of those things from me!” Kamata points himself, “This is not going to be a walk in the park, Satoshi”

“I know that, Kamata-san” Satoshi nodded, “Let’s just start the race; I have to pick up Yayoi later. Kenjou, if you would…”

“Sure thing” Kenjou stands to be the linesman

Kamata’s car is FD2 Honda Civic type-R, which is cousin of Satoshi’s Integra.
“Satoshi, the storm is coming, in case you didn’t know” Kamata grinned, “I should be the one who said that about you”

Satoshi gets out from his car and smells the air. It has sea watery scent; the storm is approaching.
“The storm is coming” Tarou said, “Is this alright, Satoshi?”

“Definitely not; he’s good on these kind of situations” Satoshi answered

“Satoshi, get a grip!” Kenjou shouts, “The key is already within you… Get as close to his bumper as possible”

“Easy for you to say coz you know I don’t have sharp feelings” Satoshi replied

“That’s what I was saying. Let these fierce wind and water help you” Kenjou adds

“I see… If that’s what you say, then I’ll do it” Satoshi get back to his car

“I’m ready!” Kamata shouts, “Let’s begin this, rookies!”

“Well, I guess it is okay” Satoshi closed his windows

“Ready? In three… two…one… Go!” Kenjou dropped his hand simultaneously

Kamata launches his car just like eating a fish. He knew this place just like the back of his hands. He also knows how to handle his car well. On the other hand, Satoshi launch his car like crazy. He launches it so smoothly, with no burnout at all. If you modify FWD cars, you have to know when is the launch timing is, so you don’t waste your time with burnout.

In this windy and wet condition, one mistake will make you hit the cone, or even swim in the sea. The visibility is low, and the course is slippery.
“He’s very good. The shift is smooth” Iwami thought, “Can Satoshi beat that monster?”

“Not just his appearance, his skills is also monstrous” Gonsuke whispers

“Both of them have the same engine… let’s see who is better!” Souya nods

Both of them run their cars with amazing speed. Pushing hard their car, the screaming sound of their engine, to run in front of each other.
“Drafting is good, Satoshi” Kamata grins, “If you read Initial D, I guess you know what I will do”

Kamata suddenly brake hard. Satoshi, who’s closely behind him, brake hard as well. Kamata uses the moment Satoshi brake to accelerate even further.
“I totally forget about Smiling Sakai’s technique that frightens Keisuke!” Satoshi hits his steering wheel.

“How do you like that, Satoshi?” Kamata laughs

Satoshi draw his breath, and accelerates again to catch up. Kamata surely won't use the same technique twice.
“Okay, I’m nearly behind you!” Satoshi shouts, “This time, this time I will not deceived”

Satoshi drafted again, he follows closely Kamata from behind.
“His car is indeed fast” Kamata sighed, “I guess his car is older than my FD2 here”

“The barrel is up ahead! Time to pass him!” Satoshi said

Satoshi shifts to lower gear and accelerates forward. Kamata does the same. He shifts down, and accelerates. He who turns the barrels first, controls the flow of the race.
“Here I go!” Satoshi turns ahead

Satoshi gets ahead of Kamata. Even though it looked like Kamata’s car is superior to Satoshi’s, he purposely holding up.
“What the hell!” Satoshi yells, “Speed up, old man!”

“The fun is just getting started!” Kamata launches his car forward

“What the!” Satoshi steers to the side to avoid collision

That is the name originates from; Wild Beast team wills always acting wild.
“That’s close!” Satoshi wipes his sweat, “But if you want it that way, then fine!”

Satoshi speeds up again to make it back quickly. Kamata is going to ram anyone that gets in his way.
“He will tries to let me beside him, but he will ram my car” Satoshi said, “I have to do something!”

“Even though I feel bad for the car, I have to maintain my image in front of my men! Wild Beast team is indeed wild! I will ram anyone that gets near me”

“…” Hikaru watches the race carefully

“What about… that one? The tactic Tarou used” Satoshi thought, “Let see if the teacher is as dumb as his apprentice”

Satoshi accelerates forward to get even. Surprisingly, Kamata took the bait. He rams his car to the side and fast.
“He took the bait! Here I go!” Satoshi shifts down so he gets more acceleration

The moment before Kamata’s Civic get in contact with Satoshi’s Integra, Satoshi accelerates forward. Kamata is headed to the seaside, in this wet condition
“Shit! He’s using the same tactic as his apprentice does, and I took the bait!” Kamata sounds panic

“This is indeed a walk in the park!” Satoshi shifts up to the finish line, “He never changes”

That’s another win for High School Street Racing. They are getting more popular and popular amongst the street racing fan.
“That’s about it” Satoshi spins his head

“You are indeed good, kid” Kamata laughs, “Looks like the RJ7 will have to notice you right away”

“No need for that” said a man behind them

Seven people sit at the top of their car. They are the Real Japan Seven members… four people is male, and three people is female.
“Guys, meet the seniors” Satoshi said, “From the most left is the leader of RJ7; Musashi Yuuya. The vice leader is Oyama Souji”

“Next is Sagara Tsugumi, Naoko Haruna, and Uehara Natsumi” Kenjou continues

“And the last is Tamashiro Shin, and Yoshimasa Takeshi” Satoshi adds

“Bravo, bravo, you guys” Yuuya claps his hands, “You guys are great and popular, how many new teams is like that? None! So congratulation for you”

“Even though you are new guys, you are talented” Tsugumi nodded, “You guys even have Mid Night Club apprentice to be the members, great!”

“Even though harassing all of the old members of Mid Night Club is rude, I guess that is okay” Natsumi continues

“You guys are worthy… to be the next worm food!” Haruna giggles, “We will trample you, and kick your sorry asses to the pavement”

“Stop it, Haruna! We don’t come here for that yet” Shin cuts Haruna’s words

“So where is the famous red blood, and Sky Captain?” Souji asked, “Are you the one?”

“Yes” Hikaru nodded, “Something matters?”

“We heard a lot of things from the Three Kings. No one has overcome their expectations, except you guys” Yuuya added, “Better be careful, and guys- we are going to hunt you very soon”

“Slap all of your money to your cars, kids!” Tsugumi said, “Be faster or stay home!”

“See you, toddles” Haruna sticks her tongue out

“You guys completely ruined my party over here” Kamata sighed, “Beware of the Wild Beast around you”

“Old man… that trick is not going to work on me… again” Yuuya smiled, “You will hear from me soon”

After all of them left, Kamata smiled to congratulates the High School Street Racers once again
“Guys, your team just won” Kamata laughs, “Be happy, Satoshi! You just surpassed me as your teacher!”

“What was that all about? Why did they disrespect you like that, and all you do is threats them?” Satoshi sound mad

“Times are changing, Satoshi!” Kamata said, “They are the fastest and skilled than all of the old guys”

“So that’s it? The Beast is going to lie down and get some sleep?” Kenjou continues

“You just don’t get it… I don’t blame you. You guys are on a new team” Maeda said

“Oh, you… Thank you for helping out my friend the other day” Hikaru bows

“That’s alright” Maeda said, “They are dirty people. You have to always watch you back, because you never know when they will act”

“One of our members got their car burned, because he scratches one of their cars” Takeba added

“I thought that each member is a leader of smaller team?” Hikaru asked, “Isn’t that, right?”

“No, that is way wrong” Kamata spins his head, “They are nothing like our leaders. They are just street racing punks with lot of money, and dirty tricks”

“So much for a member of Street Devils here” Gonsuke said, “We better don’t mess around too much with them now, until we beat the other teams”

“Oh, shit! I have to pick Yayoi up at the hospital” Satoshi looks at his wristwatch, “I have to jet, Kamata-san”

“Well, here is the winning money… and please be careful with them” Kamata nodded

“You too” Kenjou said, “We’re moving out, guys”

“Kamata-san… does you ever have a desire to take them out?” Hikaru asked with serious look

“You’re real cute kid. You can read other people’s mind, don’t you?” Kamata laughs

“I can't read your mind, but I know you hate street racing punks like them… just as I hate them” Hikaru grinned, “What do you say if we joins forces to take them out, little by little?”

“You read my mind!” Kamata shakes Hikaru’s hand; “Let’s get them, when you’re ready”

“After I beat all of the other teams, I will ask them to do the same” Hikaru nods, “We can't let street racer like that hangs around”

“You got big balls, kiddo” Maeda smiled, “We like you already”

“Let’s kick their asses and beat them to a pulp!” Hikaru smiled back

Tarou, Souya, Satoshi, Kenjou, Yamada, Gonsuke, Iwami, and Clark smiled. They have one common mind; to be the best, and kick all of the assholes like them at the street.
“We’ll see you around, Kamata-san” Souya said

At the highway, they talked again about the Real Japan Seven with their multi phone lines.
“They are more like Seven Assholes to me” Clark said in his English dialect

“Stop you English dialect jokes, it’s boring” Tarou laughs

Suddenly a black R34 is speeding up with unbelievable speed.
“That black R34… Just like the one Adam has” Hikaru thought

The R34 is lining up with Hikaru’s car. After that, the driver is revving the engine to challenge Hikaru for a race.
“Black R34? No freaking way!” Kenjou said, “The Black Phantom!”

“Black Phantom?” Hikaru said, “The legendary black R32 driver?”

“The engine sound is very distinct! Beat her with your GT-R!” Kenjou adds

“Who is Black Phantom?” Tarou asked

“Yue-sensei said she is the one responsible for R32’s popularity for street racing” Hikaru answers, “I don’t think I can beat him with my power lever just yet!”

The Black Phantom is still revving her engine to take Hikaru out.
“Man, I guess that’s my cue for a date!” Hikaru smiled, “See you tomorrow, guys!”

Hikaru speed up followed by Black Phantom. The highway is also in wet condition, because of the storm. Both of the GT-Rs don’t have traction problems in these kinds of situations.
“She’s very persistent” Hikaru said as he shifts up

The Black Phantom is not shifting out. The gears are different, but she can keep up with no problem at all! 300KM/H is clocked at Hikaru’s speedometer. Even at that speed, Black Phantom still accelerates forward
“What the hell!” Hikaru looks surprised

Hikaru gets passed. The Black Phantom is indeed fast as all everyone says.
Inside the car, a girl is smiling while she sees Hikaru’s GT-R at the back.
“Your car stills need a lot of works” Yuki smiled as he sees Hikaru’s silver GT-R in her rearview mirror

“That car is unbelievable!” Hikaru said, “That car is indeed Phantom”

Tomorrow morning at the school, the class is going to start in few more minutes. Hikaru is sitting down at his chair, while reading a magazine about Black Phantom.

God’s Work of Art, Godzilla, GT-R Queen, is some of what they about that R32. Why did she change the chassis to R34 anyway? Body refreshing plan?
“Hikaru, what are you reading?” Souya asked from the front of him

“This article about Black Phantom” Hikaru shows the magazines he reads, “They have no technical specs about it”

“Of course they don’t” Tarou replied from Souya’s side, “Why else did they call it the Black Phantom”

“Hikaru, I need to talk to you about something” Rena said from beside him

“What is it?” Hikaru asked

“What do you think of Moriyama?” Rena asked with serious look on her face

“He’s alright. He can treat girls better than I can” Hikaru lift his shoulders, “Why do you ask?”

“He confesses his feeling to me yesterday. Do you have any problem with that?” Rena smiled

Hikaru sighed. He doesn’t care anymore about girls. He throws a smile to Rena, and just spins his head to show he’s alright.
“I see. Well, that makes me feel good as well. I can go out with him anytime” Rena giggles

“Stand up!” Rika said, “Greetings!”

“Good Morning, ma’am” said all of the students

“Please sit down” Yue-sensei said, “You guys remember few days ago when I said that the class is going to get merrier and merrier, right? That is true! Here is another transferred student. Come on in!”

A girl with chilly blue eyes and white silver hair comes in. She wears the same Ducati Tex jacket as yesterday. All of the boys and girls are surprised in what they see.
“Please…” said Yue-sensei

“Yes, my name is Amano Yuki and my age is twenty” Yuki said, “My hobby is studying, cooking, swimming, shopping, reading books, sports, Kendo, Karate, flower and tea ceremony. Pleased to meet you”

“Twenty! Are you serious?” Yue-sensei sounds surprised

“That’s rude, but I guess that’s okay” Yuki pouted, “We move a lot from time to time, and I tend to help my father with his work, sometimes I abandon schooling”

“Sorry, I was acting very rude. I know you have your own reason… The seats are almost full” Yue-sensei said, “Why don’t you sit beside Moriyama there?”

“Ma’am… if you would, I want to sit beside Moriyama” Rena said, “She can sit in my chair, beside Hikaru”

“…” Hikaru looked to Rena

“Good bye, Hikaru” Rena smiled

When that word hit Hikaru, he feels very hollow and very lonely inside. Rena on the other hand is fortunate to found someone who cares for her deeply. She smiled as she walks to Moriyama’s side.
“Hikaru, are you okay?” Gonsuke asked from behind him, “You spaced out”

“Yes, I’m fine” Hikaru nodded

“You are very lucky, huh? Rena walked away, you get another hot babe for you” Gonsuke pats his shoulder

“Nice to see you again, Hikaru” Yuki smiled as she sits down, “I don’t know you are a students here”

“You two know each other?” Yue-sensei asked, “How come?”

“Um, I was Hikaru’s mother apprentice back at the village” Yuki answered, “His mother taught me all she knows so I can be a good wife someday”

“I see… is it to be Hikaru’s wife one day?” Yue-sensei teased her

“Probably” Yuki nodded, “His sister already gave me a green light to be her sister in law”

Everybody at the class is amazed. Hikaru is a lover boy after all. He has all the charm he need to make girls loved him easily.
“Eh? I’m not interested in girls right now” Hikaru sighed, “I’m just too tired to think about it now, and too lazy to get involved with them”

“Sad isn’t it? You’re dumped just like that,” Yuki whispers, “Don’t worry, I’m sure there is somebody else out there for you”

“I don’t want to think about it now” Hikaru looked away to the windows, “Just leave me alone”

RPM 9 is up, guys... Sorry it took so long (problem with my PC) crying2.gif

here is RPM 13 and 14

RPM 13: Fateful Day

Next month is a summer vacation for Hikaru and his friends. Nothing was heard from Steve for these past few days.
“So you’re saying that boarding in the sand is fun too?” Jessie asked

“Of course it is! What makes them different, anyway? The colors, grains, or texture” Yuki ask back, “It doesn’t matter. Moreover, if you fall down, you’ll get all sorts of bruises. It takes a long time to master it, and it’s really fun”

“If you think about it, boarding in sand while going at high speed, and concentrating to avoid bruises” Jessie thought, “That’s way cool and sounds exciting”

“That 1098 parked front, is that yours Yuki?” Rena sips her cold tea

“Yes, and I assume the CBR is yours?” Yuki asked

“Yes it is” Rena answered, “You know, we have a lot in common”

“We do” Yuki smiled, “It is fun to get to know new people around you!”

At the rooftop, Hikaru was eating his bento alone while he listens to his Walkman Phone. None of his friends is around. All of them are busy giggling with their girlfriends, or busy trying to impress the girls they attracted too.
“What is Steve doing right now?” Hikaru asked while he looked towards the sky

Steve is currently in the plane on the way to New York City. He is listening to some music.
“We are going to land in a short while, please wear your safety belt and straighten up your seat, please. Thank you” said the flight attendant

Steve did what they’re told to do. He wears his seatbelt and turn off the onboard music player. After the airplane land and he proceed to the immigration to check out at the border, and he gets out from the airport.
“Whew… Welcome to the New York City; the city which will drown in 2020, if the global warming goes on… what a pleasant way to welcome the tourist here. Nice way to advertise about global warming though…” Steve sighed, “I better call for a taxi”

It’s nothing but ordinary evening at New York City. Many yellow colored taxis are moving everywhere in the city. Newspaper guys, hot dog stands, steamy manhole, horn sounds, light coming from office buildings- is a common view here. New York is a city they say never sleeps. 24 hours of work, in seven days for all year long.

Steve called for a taxi and straight goes to an import cars showroom in the city. This showroom never closed down, whether it’s day or night.
“I would like to meet up with Mr. Blackburn, please” Steve said

“Yes one moment please, and who you might be, sir?” the showroom employee asks, “Do you have an appointment?”

“Just tell him, I’m interested in buying this 599” Steve nodded

“Yes, please wait a moment sir,” said the employee

Not long after that, comes a slick bearded man with suits and red Oakley sunglasses.
“Yes, can I help you, sir?” the man asked

“As the matter of fact, you can” Steve said as he turns around, “Long time no see, big brother”

“It’s you,” said the man

His name is Cliff Blackburn. A rich ass that kicks his own brother to Japan all because he caused so much trouble for him when he is in the New York last time.
“How are you, brother?” Steve asked

“What do you want here?” Cliff asked back, “I thought I send you to Japan already”

“I need a favor from you” Steve answers

“What kind of favor? Do you want this car?” Cliff keeps asking

“I don’t! Listen at what I have to say for a minute here!” Steve shouts

Everyone in the showroom watch them arguing; from the customers, employees, and even mechanics- is interested in their arguments.
“Okay, let’s go to my office first. It’s inappropriate to talk here” Cliff points the way

“So much for family member” Steve said, “After you…”

Cliff goes first to his office, followed by Steve. These are a kind of argument that is very common in their family.
“So what’s up?” Cliff asked

“I need a new car” Steve answers, “It’s not going to be an Italian cars you have below, or American muscle like some of the cars outside”

“Ok. Anything else you need?” Cliff asked again

“After that, I need some money to tune it up, and please lend me your private cargo plane so I can go back to Japan without any problems” Steve added

“Any idea what kind of car do you need?” Cliff keeps on asking

“Not yet but I’ll find one right away” Steve said, “Maybe after I get some rest; I will hang out to see what kind of car is buzzing right now”

“Simple enough and you can use the guest room upstairs” Cliff replied, “See you later, then”

Steve is very tired, sitting on the airplane for hours. His butt feels very sore, and burning hot. His bag filled with his clothes, is heavy too. He sees a nice comfy bed, and throws himself on top of it.
“Haah” Steve groaned, “I better get some rest first. I wonder what are they up to right now… probably they are at the class, learning some boring stuffs as usual”

Steve falls asleep not long after that. He is very tired after all due to that long hours traveling. At eight o’clock in the morning, Steve wakes up because he felt something is at his hands.
“Huh?”

He saw a blank cheque, complete with Cliff’s signature on it. It looks like Cliff is trying to say that you can fill it any amount as you please.
“I think $150,000 is enough” Steve writes the number, “I’ll return the money if it has extra”

Steve gets up and takes a bath. After that, he goes to the bank, to cash out the cheque he has.
“Okay, now I’m all set to buy a new car” Steve thought, “Let’s start surfing the web!”

Steve gets back to the showroom to read all interesting stuffs on what going on in the Internet. All sorts of automobile maker sites like Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Nissan, is seen in the Mozilla Firefox.
“I’m fed up with Toyota” Steve grinned, “This LF-A thing is not yet here yet, and there is no news for the next generation of Honda NSX. Clark said both of them would be manufactured in 2010. I can't wait that long!”

One manufacturer caught Steve’s eyes. It was Mitsubishi, with their latest weapon; Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
“Okay, this car is brand new, so I guess I have to get it done at that place” Steve grinned

He gets his jacket, calls a taxi, and went to the nearest Mitsubishi car dealer he found. At the dealership, without any hesitation, he goes right in and calls the dealership attendant.
“Excuse me, I want this car” Steve points at a red Evo X, “I want one like this, but with right hand drive”

“Certainly, sir” said the attendant, “Which package do you prefer, sir? The high performance package, stylish exterior package, or leather combination package?”

“I want the one with manual tyranny, Eibach Bilstein springs, had BBS wheels, 2 piece rotor, leather interior, but no sunroof, okay?” Steve said

“Ok, right this way, sir. Let’s pick the one you want from the warehouse” the attendant shows the way to the warehouse

“After you” Steve nodded

Steve follows the attendant to the warehouse to get the car he wants to buy. The car was lined up tidily. Steve looked at all of the colors, and specs. He found one just like he wanted. It’s the premium package.
“I want to get this red one” Steve said after inspecting here and there

“Certainly, sir” said the attendant, “Will you pay with lease or cash”?

“Cash” Steve said, “I’ll throw in some extra fees if you get me an insurance and number plate right here, right now”

“Yes sir!” said the attendant while he prepares the entire document for the car.

Thirty minutes later, Steve walked out with a brand new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, complete with plate number and insurance. The dealer also gives him a full tank of gasoline, provided by Shell.
“Nice, this is what I’m talking about!” Steve shouts

He drives to the center of New York to find a large garage, filled with people who in modifying and detailing cars here and there. Steve drives his car inside, and gets off to meet the garage‘s owner.
“Mario, my man!” Steve yells when he sees an Italian guy, speaking to their employees

“It’s Blackburn! Where in the hell’s name you’ve been?” the Italian guy asked back

He name is Mario Scavo and he’s the owner of this big garage, for modifying cars with all kinds of concept the owner wanted.
“I was kicked to Japan, and I thought I dropped by to see what’s up with my old buddy” Steve laughs, “How’s business, my friend?”

“The business is good. Most of the customer comes and goes, but hey, they always come back here, and I won't complain bout it at all!” Mario laughs as well

“I’m here for old time’s sake, my man” Steve points at his brand new Evo X

“Is that what I see it is?” Mario couldn’t believe his eyes, “It’s brand new, and you’re going to modify it?”

“Yes and I need it done by the end of the week to get something else done” Steve nodded, “Can you help me with that, friend?”

“Of course… I will look into something that we can use for this baby now” Mario scratches his head, “Off to the computer, then!”

Once again they have to surf the web to find info on what could be used for this newborn baby.
“This thing doesn’t use iron block anymore, so I guess that adds into the reliability issue here” Mario said

“So I guess we have to strengthen the engine block first, is that right?” Steve replied

Just then, Steve thought of something cool that will improve his car’s performance; prototype parts.

“You know what, I guess I have to visit some other place else first” Steve said, “I leave the car to you, and don’t touch it first, okay? I have to go there first then we start”

“You mean for the block and turbo, right? I will search for other parts that we can use” Mario nodded

Few hours later, Steve came back with a custom-built turbo, provided by his friends in Garret. They are one of the most popular turbine manufacturers.
“What do you got there?” Mario asked, “Garret custom turbine, huh?”

“Yes, I also had one of our friend to fabricate me some custom built block. I need something fast, reliable, and moreover, can be pushed towards high RPM” Steve nodded

“And where did you find it? Cosworth?” Mario asked

“Yup, luckily I found him where he’s usually work” Steve answers

“Well, what I want to say that we should get going with other things like roll-bars, and stuffs also” Mario said, “I found something you can use also, come on! You want this car to be finished at the end of the week, right? Let’s get started!”

Then it’s begun. Steve and his old crew once again worked on something together like the good old days. For the whole week Steve and his crew work on the Evo X.

Back in Japan, Hikaru is working at the restaurant late. He has so many things in his mind that he needs to throw away now and keep himself busy.
“I know that tomorrow is free for you, but I don’t think you have to overwork yourself, Hikaru” said the manager

“It’s alright, manager… I have a lot of things going in my head right now” Hikaru sighed, “I need to flush it out all at once by keeping myself busy with work”

“I see” the manager smiled, “Is it about girls?”

“Yes it is” Hikaru nodded, “Is it enough for today, manager?”

“Yeah. You can go home now, let the others do the cleaning” the manager smiled

Hikaru change his clothes to go home.
“See you around, manager” Hikaru sway his hand

“Thank you for your hard work” replies the manager

Hikaru gets into his GT-R. He specifically brought the GT-R along, so he can do something on the way back home. He runs on Wangan to see if the Black Phantom shows up.

After few runs back and forth at Wangan, she showed up; the Black Phantom
“Hi” said the driver, “Are you are waiting for me by any chance Sky Captain?”

The driver is a woman. The voice sounds real, but Hikaru doesn’t recognize the speaker.
“Good thing you showed up” Hikaru smiled, “I need to get things off from my mind now, so I came here to look for you”

“You’re a guy, correct?” the driver asks, “So what’s on your on mind that disturb you? Is it money, friends, or even girls problems?”

That last question hit Hikaru deeply.
“Bingo! One hundred points for you” Hikaru laughs, “I have this girl problem that been bothering me always”

“Stop laughing. I know what you feel… very hollow inside and your chest feels very hurt” she said, “Let’s forget all of your problems then. Try and catch me if you can”

Black Phantom increasing its pace and Hikaru follows short after that. Both of them clocks 300 KM/H in no time at all. One by one, all of the fond memories about Rena flash in Hikaru’s head. From her warm smile, her scent, her eyes, her beautiful hair, her white smooth skin, her tears, her words… everything about her flash before his mind.

Hikaru’s eyes watered then tears slowly come out from his eyes… he remembers the cold stare she showed him this morning and he cried because he never confesses how his feelings were to her.
“Thank you for your company tonight Black Phantom” Hikaru said, “I’ll get off to Haneda for awhile to cruise alone. Bye”

Hikaru gets off to visit Haneda airport.

The Black Phantom’s driver couldn’t say a thing to comfort him at all. She turns off the line, and sighed.
“I’m sorry I can't help to comfort you at all, Hikaru” Yuki looked at her rearview mirror

Hikaru pays some money to the security guard to get a clearance on the freeway. He drives all the way to the edge of the freeway, and gets out from his car. He then lie down at the top of his bonnet and continues to cry while looking at the dark skies above.

He gets back to his house at 11 P.M. with swelling eye sack. Seno knows what happened after seeing Hikaru’s eyes, so she just stays quiet about it. Hikaru have always been hiding his feeling deep inside, never shares it with anyone including his sister. He throws himself at the bed, and listens to his Walkman Phone until he’s asleep.

The chirping sound of birds can be heard from the tree outside his house. It’s morning already, and the sun is high up already. At 8 A.M. he wakes up and stares at his face at the mirror. He takes a comb, and tidied up his hair with another hairstyle. He then grabs his towel and takes a bath. He needs to go and work part time again to get more bonuses.
“Hikaru, you’re awake already?” Seno asked, “What’s with your hair?”

Hikaru changes his hairstyle. Usually a person who has broken relationship cuts their hair, but things are different for Hikaru. He hasn’t involved himself yet with Rena, so he downgraded the ritual.
“Sis, can you please make me some boiled egg. I want to treat this eyesore I’ve got” Hikaru gets into the bathroom

“Okay” Seno nodded

Five minutes later, Hikaru is geared up and ready to work. He takes the boiled egg, to compress his eye sack while heating up his GT-R engine.
“You’re taking your car with you?” Seno asked, “What’s up?”

“I’m going to work until late at night and then get to the race meeting today” Hikaru smiled, “I needed more money to saved”

“Whatever you say,” Seno nodded, “I’m going to make breakfast, want some too?”

“Sure thing, sis” Hikaru smiled

After his eye swelling is gone, he ate the egg and cuts off his engine.
“Hikaru, breakfast is ready!” said Seno from the kitchen

“Coming” Hikaru locks up his car

After eating breakfast, Hikaru takes the car and drives to the restaurant where he worked. On the way, he sees the bank where he usually saves up his money.
“Excuse me, I want to deposit this money” Hikaru said to the bank attendant, “While you’re at it, please print up the latest statement in account book too”

“Here you go, sir,” said the bank attendant, “Have a nice day”

Hikaru got out from the bank with big smile in his face. Thanks to his sister, and Kojiro help he managed to save up $100,000.
“Whew… I finally have a large amount of money in my account” said Hikaru while he sees the account book

At the restaurant, most of the people take notice of Hikaru’s slight difference. They began to whisper to each other predicting what have happened to him. From the customer, employee, and even the manager want to know what happened to him.
“What happened to you Hikaru? Changing your hairstyle, makes everybody curious about it” Gonsuke whispered

“You too? Its normal- so please tell to the others not to exaggerate about this” as Hikaru puts an order slip to the kitchen

Yuki comes in with her friends; Jessie, Sarah, Rika, Ayase, Sako, Marie, and lastly Rena. Tarou, Iwami, Yamada, Clark including Moriyama is also with them.
“Gon, over here!” said Marie from the big table.

“What happened to that kid’s hair?” Moriyama grinned

“He’s one weird kid I say,” Rena follows, “Just ignore him”

“Don’t say that Rena… he had a hard time with you” Tarou whispers

“Please get off from that topic” Rika whispered again, “We don’t want him to snap at us here”

“Let’s order something” Yuki said, “Hikaru, over here”

Hikaru looked at all of them with no expression at all. He takes a lot of menu book to give to them.
“Can I have your order?” Hikaru asked

“Yes, we would like to get some rice with vegetables here” said Rena, “What do you want, dear?”

“Well, I have rice with crab soup” Moriyama replied, “What about you guys? Come on, eat up… it’s my treat”

“Then I’ll have Sapo tofu here with red rice” Jessie said, “What about you, Sarah?”

“I’ll have nori soup with spicy ramen” Sarah nodded

“I’ll have this stirred cabbage with rice,” Clark said

“I’ll have spicy ramen too” Yuki nodded, “What about you girls?”

“We decided to eat these oriental Peking duck” Rika said, “Add it with mushroom soup and rice”

“We’ll help them eat the duck” Tarou adds, “With rice of course”

“What about drinks?” Hikaru asks again

“We’ll have lemon tea,” Moriyama said

“Me, Sarah, and Yuki have plain water” Jessie continues

“Just get us some green tea,” Iwami adds

“Please wait a minute, your orders will be ready by then” Hikaru smiled as he takes the menu book away

When Hikaru puts the menu book back to the counter, Moriyama called him up.
“Hikaru, Gonsuke, please sit here for awhile with us” Moriyama waves his hand to Hikaru and Gonsuke

“No thank you… I’m in the middle of work here” Hikaru smirked

“We are sure that the manager won't mind… isn’t that right, manager?” Moriyama smiled to the manager

“Yes, you can sit with them” the manager said, “The others will do your part”

“Okay, then … I’m going to talk with my girlfriend for awhile” Gonsuke smiled happily

“I have to continue my work… some other time maybe” Hikaru politely decline the offer

“Come on… don’t be a boring person, will ya?” Moriyama grinned

Moriyama did it on purpose. Don’t know what is it, but he is sure able to talk with Hikaru’s entire friend to go along with him. What is wrong with him anyway?
“You’re afraid to see Rena-chan here… don’t you?” Moriyama asked while he smiled with satisfaction look on his face

“No, not at all…” Hikaru replied leisurely, “Why would I be afraid of her? Because I use to like her before?”

“Then it’s settled, just sit here with us!” Moriyama urges Hikaru to sit with them

“Come on, Hikaru… Moriyama just trying to be nice, that’s all” Yamada said

“Really? Then if he were really trying to be nice, he wouldn’t pester me to sit with him. I’m in the middle of work here for Christ sake” Hikaru scratches his head

“The manager said okay, Hikaru” Souya said, “Come on, just sit down with us”

“When I say no, then it means no” Hikaru replied, “Do me a favor and just leave me alone, okay? I’m trying to work here”

“Since when you get so serious with these kinds of things, man?” Moriyama asked

Hikaru sighed. He leaves them alone so he can serve other customers. Suddenly, Moriyama got an idea. He wants to have a race with Hikaru.
“What about if we race tonight for $10,000?” Moriyama smiled, “My car’s tuning had just finished this morning”

The tension in the restaurant suddenly turned high. Hikaru couldn’t refuse the offer. He immediately smiled to Moriyama to show that’s okay.
“Okay” Hikaru said while smiling, “I hope you’re ready then”

“Same goes for you” Moriyama smiled back

Later that night, Satoshi and Kenjou also come to watch the race. Jessie and Sarah brought their own car; RX-8 for Jessie, and MX-5 for Sarah… both of them seemed to be highly modified too. Yuki is riding with Jessie when she also decided to see the race.

At 11 P.M, the racing meet is held at Katsushika ku, around Aoto station.
“Sky, what do you say about this race? Somehow I got a bad feeling about this race tonight” Hikaru asks his GT-R

“I can't say… you can't back out now, anyway” Sky replied

“Yes I can't… and I won't” Hikaru spins his head

“Be ready then!” Sky psyches Hikaru up

Moriyama’s car is a Mitsubishi 3000GT with black in color. This car is one of the most powerful weapons manufactured by Mitsubishi; 4WD, twin turbo, and a three liter, V6 engine.
“Let’s start right away, Hikaru” Moriyama smiled, “I will beat you down real good”

“Let’s do it, then” Hikaru nodded

“Rena, could you please be the linesman” Moriyama said

“Okay… on your mark” Rena stands in the middle of the road, “Ready… set… go!”

When Rena says go, Hikaru lifts his foot from the clutch pedal to launch smoothly. Moriyama did the same; he knows how to drive well too.

The course was simply a straightway, to get around the station. Hikaru, with more experience drives leisurely. Moriyama’s 3000GT wasn’t as fast as he thought.
“The finish line is at the front” Hikaru said, “Bye-bye, Moriyama!”

“You fall for it, Hikaru” Moriyama grinned

The moment Hikaru turns his car to the corner; Moriyama slapped his car hard against Hikaru’s right quarter part, causing it to lose traction at 90 KM/H.
“Bye-bye, Hikaru” Moriyama smiled

Hikaru’s car hits the bridge barrier so hard into the concrete made barriers and falls to the railway tracks below. The engine falls down first because of the heavyweight load. The front parts of his GT-R are crushed, oil is dripping from the engine block, and worse of all; gasoline can be smelled in the air due to his oil tank ruptured.
“Shit… dirty son of a b*tch” Hikaru grinned as he tries to get out from his car

“What the hell happened there?” as Tarou sees a fire ignite in the middle of train tracks

“It’s look like someone got into an accident” Satoshi gets into his car and drives as fast as he can towards it.

“Hikaru! Hikaru!” Moriyama goes down to help him

When he gets close to Hikaru’s GT-R, he just laughs. He was happy to make Hikaru suffer like that.
“I should’ve known; you and your dirty trick” Hikaru sighed, “It looks like one or two of my ribs is broken”

“Oh, fire ignites already” said Moriyama, “What will you do, Hikaru?”

“I’ll die soon, I guess” Hikaru said, “But you are going to the jail for the rest of your lives… when they see the mark on my car, and the damage on your car… they’ll know that you are the one who hits me”

“Not so fast, my dear friend” Moriyama smiled, “The trains will arrive in a minute to the station… not sure what it is, though”

“I see” Hikaru nodded, “So much for your grandiose plan”

The train is on its way to the station. Hikaru thinks can hear its horn from afar. He smiled gladly; at least he can die along with his car.
“Hikaru!” shout Satoshi as he gets down, rescuing him

“Damn! Satoshi is meddling” Moriyama said, “But what the hell, off you go, Hikaru”

Moriyama helped Hikaru gets out from his car, to make it looked like it was an accident.
“Moriyama, over here” Satoshi said as he helped him to carry Hikaru up

After Moriyama and Satoshi carry Hikaru to get away from his wrecked car, the train runs over it, because it brakes too late. All of Hikaru’s GT-R is destroyed by the igniting fire plus overrun by the speeding train.
“Moriyama… I won already. My car is far ahead than yours” Hikaru said as he tries to walk with his own two feet

“We’ll talk about it later!” Moriyama acts up to show he’s worried

“No! I need the money now, and I mean now!” Hikaru shouts

“…” Moriyama only spins his head for few times and gives the money to him

“Thanks… now I can walk by myself” Hikaru said as he takes the money

“Are you alright, Hikaru?” Satoshi asked

“I will finish this race… even without my partner” Hikaru’s blood tears fall down from his eyes

“Hikaru” Moriyama said

“Don’t come near me, you scumbag!” Hikaru shouts

Hikaru walks slowly towards the finish line, while Satoshi follows him from the back.
His body feels burning, because some of his bones ribs are broken. His head is dizzy, and his head is soaked in blood.
“Who is that?” Yuki asked when she sees someone is walking towards the finish line

“It’s… Hikaru! What happened to his car?” Tarou seemed surprised

“Maybe he’s the one who’s got into the accident” as Souya hurried try to help Hikaru

“Hikaru!” Gonsuke runs toward him

“Don’t touch me!” Hikaru shout, “Don’t interfere with my race!”

“You’re wounded! Stop it please!” Yamada yelled at him, “Stop it!”

“Even though my partner is destroyed… I will finish this race so I can join her” Hikaru smiled as he cried

“Stop it! You’re going to die if you not going to the hospital now!” Kenjou holds his body

“So be it!” Hikaru yelled

Hikaru steps his feet at the station, to marks his victory for that night. Everyone who watches the race is deeply sympathized with Hikaru’s determination.
“We won again, partner” Hikaru smiled as he looked to the black skies above

After he said that, Hikaru stops breathing and fall down. Yuki rushes towards him to give CPR to prevent his heart and his brain dying out. Police sirens are started to draw nearer and nearer.
“Come on, wake up damn it! Do you want to make your sister cried?” Yuki pushes Hikaru’s chest hard

Meanwhile back in New York, Steve is working to install the new turbo. When he tries to find the right tool, Hikaru suddenly showed up outside of the garage.
“What the hell!” Steve sees Hikaru in front of his eyes, “What are you doing here? Am I dreaming?”

Hikaru only smirked and lift his shoulders. Only then, Steve is certain that something have happened to Hikaru. He is dead.
“My God!” Steve sighed, “He still has a long way to go. Dammit!!!”

“Steve, Steve!” said Mario, “Why do you shouts like that, jeez! Got a nightmare or something?”

“No… looks like one of my friend is dead. He came by just now to see me off” Steve nodded, “I better make a call to the others to know what happened back in Japan”

Hikaru is in comatose condition at the hospital. With Yuki’s quick action, and Satoshi’s help, he lives to see another day.
“Hikaru? What are you doing here?” a man asked him

“Dad? Mom? Why are you here?” Hikaru looked surprised, “Where am I?”

“Your time is not yet up, kid,” said the man

“…” Hikaru seems frightened to know that he’s dead

“Look… your sister is crying” said the woman, “Go back, okay?”

“Mom! Dad!” Hikaru shouts

Suddenly Hikaru wakes up. His body is sweating hard.
“Hah… hah… hah… hah…” Hikaru wakes up

Seno is sleeping at his bedside. It looks like she stays all night long to watch his condition.
“Damn! I’m still alive?” Hikaru bawled, “Ow… my ribs is indeed broken”

Hikaru gives his blanket to cover Seno’s body. She’s exhausted, and needs to rest up.
After that, he goes around the hospital to find some food coz he is hungry.
“Hi” said Hikaru to the cafeteria lady, “I want to eat some of your ramen”

“Alright, wait a minute,” said the cafeteria lady, “Here you go, kid”

Hikaru sits down and eat up his ramen. After getting some Gatorade to drink, Yayoi saw him walking around in the hospital.
“Hikaru, what are you doing here? Get some rest!” said Yayoi

“Yes, ma’am” Hikaru gets back to his room

Tomorrow morning, Hikaru is already up and allowed to walk around the hospital. A lot of the nurses are fighting each other to get close to Hikaru. Sometimes all of them lined up only to wait for to Hikaru wakes up.
“Damn it, it’s annoying” Hikaru said irritated, “Go away, all of you!”

“Hikaru! How are you doing, my man?” Iwami asked

“Why all of you are here? What about school?” Hikaru smiled

“Don’t say that, we’re friends aren’t we?” Gonsuke pats Hikaru’s shoulder

“Ow! Damn man, that’s hurt…” Hikaru said, “From now on, you guys race alone without me”

“Why is that?” Tarou asked, “You’re angry?”

“That’s not the case actually… I’m quitting from the racing world” Hikaru nodded, “I need to get more rest”

“But you can’t just quit like that? You’re part of the team, man!” Gonsuke said

“What good can I do without a car?” Hikaru sounds irritated, “You’ll guys do better without me around, anyway”

“Don’t say that!” Souya replied, “We’ll help you repair the Sky Captain”

“It’s no use… I won't ride fast and modified car anymore” Hikaru said, “Please leave me alone”

“Why do you say that? We are here to check on your condition” Clark replied

“I’m fine thank you… now please, be on your way to school” Hikaru points the way out

“I see” Iwami nodded, “Oh well, I can't blame you”

“…” Clark spins his head

“Get some rest, man” Yamada pats Hikaru’s leg. “See you around at school”

Everyone is out, because Hikaru needs more rest, even though all of them are disappointed with his decision to leave
“Without Hikaru and Steve, we are nothing” Souya said

“That’s what you say” Clark sounds pissed, “We’ll show him that we’ll be alright on ourselves!”

“That’s right! We will show him that High School Street Racers can do better without him” Yamada replied

Piiiiiiii! Piiiiii! Piiii! Piiiiiii!

It was Hikaru’s cell phone. Who called him now?
“Yeah?” Hikaru answered his phone, “It’s you. How you’re doing?”

“Fine” Steve said, “You alright over there?”

“Not really. I’m in hospital right now” Hikaru answered, “Moriyama just bumped my car, and destroyed it”

“I see” Steve replied, “So what’s next for you? Repair the Sky Captain?”

“I won't race anymore” Hikaru answered

“You’ll what?!” Steve sounded surprised, “Say again?”

“I won't race anymore” Hikaru repeated his words, “Do I need to repeat it again to you?”

“Why is that?” Steve asked, “It’s not like you at all to backed off because some small accident”

“I met my dad and mom at the other side” Hikaru sighed, “They kicked me back here, because it’s not yet my time”

“So? That’s the reason?” Steve asks again

“Please, man… If you go through what I did, you’ll quit as well” Hikaru smiled, “I’ve seen the death in my face… so I don’t want to meet it again”

Meanwhile…
“I did what you told me, cousin” said Moriyama to a girl in black

“Good job, cousin” said the girl, “I love it when one of our rival is out of the way”

The girl is Naoko Haruna; one of RJ7 member. She is the one who plots Hikaru’s accident.

“Yes, it will make your job easier” Moriyama smirked, “You helped me to get to the top of Speedsters team. Consider it as one of my return for you”

“Yeah, yeah” Haruna smiled, “Don’t say that; we’re families and families sticks together”


RPM 14: Short Rest

Hikaru was allowed to go back to school because he’s fine already. At school, they are discussing about their summer vacation trip. The beach is a nice place to go for summer vacation and more importantly, it’s only three weeks away.
“What do you guys say? Why don’t we go to the beach, and stay at five star hotels near it?” Yue-sensei asked

“I have a proposal” Yuki lifts her hand up, “Why don’t we go to the beach in Miyazaki? I have a friend that works as a director in the four stars hotel there… and I think we can get good rooms with cheap price”

“Good proposal” Yue-sensei nodded, “Please inform us right away on the progress”

“No need to wait, let me call her right now” Yuki gets her cell phone, and go outside to talk with her friend

“Anybody wants to give their opinion?” Yue-sensei asks, “What do you say, Rika?”

“Well, it’s not fun if we just hang around the hotel without sightseeing there” Rika wondered, “Maybe we can go somewhere else like botanical garden, or national park, or shrine around there”

“It’s settled! We will go to Miyazaki, and everyone please donate 80,000 yen to Rika” Yuki nodded, “We have one week, six night to stay there… it’s cheap, right? Including the travel, free bus, snack and lunch, plus sightseeing”

“Where do we stay?” Yue-sensei asked

“Aoshima Palm Beach Hotel Miyazaki” Yuki smiled, “It’s a four stars hotel, it has many facilities, it’s near the beach… and moreover, they have a lot of interesting tourist sites”

“You mean that Aoshima Palm Beach Hotel Miyazaki?” Yue-sensei gasped, “That’s way expensive! How did you do that? How can you just let the students donate 80,000 yen?!”

“You don’t want to hear the details” Yuki replied, “We’ll go from here by bus, and cross the sea by airplane. We’ll go at the first day of the vacation, and assemble here at four A.M. in the morning”

“Why is that?” Sarah asked, “Why so early in the morning?”

“The bus will leave Tokyo at that time. Besides, it’s the best time to avoid heavy traffic” Yuki replied

Everyone agrees to pay 80,000 yen for one week for the same reason; it’s very cheap. Besides, it was Yuki who’s take care of the plan. It’ll make her very sad if there are some students who don’t participate.
“What do you think about it, Hikaru?” Yue-sensei asked, “Your ribs already fine, right?”

“Not really” Hikaru sighed, “I think it’s very cheap and a good deal to stay there. Just don’t kill most of the students with boredom; we have to make some kind of event, or tour, or something like that”

“Well, if it’s what Sky Captain says, then it is fine” Yuki smiled

“Who’s that?” Hikaru played dumb about his own alias

“Come on, Hikaru… most of the school here knows you are the Sky Captain” Jessie smiled, “Be proud of it”

“Sky Captain is dead…” Hikaru smirked, “All of you saw what happened three days ago”

“So? You’re backing off from street racing world?” Moriyama added, “That’s pathetic of you”

“For starters I met my mother and father on the other side” Hikaru lifts his shoulder, “And second, I’ve seen death itself… it’s smiling in front of my face”

“I see” Yue-sensei said, “That’s the danger of racing in the street. Please next time race in the circuit”

“There will be no next time for me” Hikaru spins his head, “I quit”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hikaru keeps on working at the restaurant to get more money. Kojiro is very depressed after hearing what have happened to the Sky Captain. He spends lots of his money on the parts, and it was destroyed.
“So what happened to Kojiro?” Hikaru asked

“Well, he’s still feels disappointed on the facts, but I guess he will get through it” said the manager, “I’m surprised to hear what happened as well… and I’ve begun to think of the worst”

“Me too” Hikaru smiled, “I’m very lucky to be alive”

“Here, please deliver this to the address” the manager gives four big bento boxes and a slip of address and direction, “They will give you a big tip this time”

“Okay” Hikaru hops onto the scooter, “I’m going!”

Hikaru delivers the bento boxes to another side of the city. It’s very far away, but the manager said that they will give big tip.

Hikaru arrives at the address not long after that. He knows the shortcut to saves delivery time.

“What the hell? Only walls around here?” Hikaru thought, “Where is the house?”

Hikaru pushes his scooter to find the house, but he couldn’t find any. Confused on the direction, he then asked a nearby patrol officer.
“Sir, where is the address for this house?” Hikaru asked

“Its right here” said the officer, “Go around the back to get to the entrance”

“Thank you, sir” Hikaru nodded

Hikaru goes through around the block and finally located the entrance. He didn’t believe what he saw in front of his eyes. The owner of the house, make this compound from combining one whole block of house together. The house is tightly guarded by men and women in black suit to prevent thieves and trespassers.
“Excuse me” Hikaru said to one of the security guard

“Oh, you must be the courier” said one of the guards, “Please go right in; the young mistress is waiting for you”

“Young mistress, I only wants to deliver this and get a big tip for it” Hikaru scratches his head

“Yes, the person in charge is the young mistress and she’s the one who should give you the tip” said another security guard

“Okay, please just sign here and I’ll be off” Hikaru shows the billing slip

“No! Please go right in, or the young mistress will fire me” said the security guard, “Please, just leave the scooter here, and I’ll guard it for you”

“Okay” Hikaru takes the bento boxes with him

When Hikaru enters the big gate, he feels very nervous. It looked like a big shrine or something. Inside the house compound there is a big pond, with waterfall on it. Lotuses and water grass grows everywhere. The houses are big and a lot of them. Hikaru counts the houses and find a shocking fact; there are at least ten big houses here.

Meanwhile inside the main house, there is someone who plays a Koto, sitting by the waterfall.
“Young mistress, the courier is here” said one of security guard to the girl

“That’s nice. He arrives finally… have the maids hid the Black Phantom?” said the girl

“Yes, after heating the engine it’s been put back to the garage underground with your 1098” replied the security guard

“Lead him here. Use the dogs to make him find his way here” the girl shows wicked smile on her face, “Let the dogs have a little fun. You guys try to catch him too, so you can help directed him here. Make him think that he stole something or did something wrong”

“Yes, miss” said the security guard as she leaves the girl alone

She continues to play the Koto. She giggles when she thinks of her plan.
Back to Hikaru, he is still trying to find this ‘young mistress’ of theirs.

Suddenly, a loud bark is heard around him. When he looked around, many types of dogs are running towards him; Golden Retriever, Chihuahua, Pit bull, Collie, German shepherd, Doberman, Siberian Husky, Poodle, Pug, Bulldog.
“Yikes! What did I do wrong?!” Hikaru start to runs off avoiding the dogs

“There he is, catch him!” said the security guard

“What did I do?!” Hikaru said as he runs away from the dogs and security guard

“Catch him!” said the other security guard

“Looks like I need to enter the unguarded house near the pond there!” Hikaru hides in the bushes near the pond

All of the other dogs don’t notice, because Hikaru’s scent is hidden by the strong flowers’ scent in the bushes. After the dogs and the guard are gone, Hikaru gets out from the bushes.
“I must escape from this crazy house!” Hikaru sighed

Hikaru can't escape just yet. Beside of the bento box which is not yet given and paid, the guard is still around the main yard. Hikaru has no other choice but to enter the house, and delivers the bento boxes.

When he enters the house, a familiar scent stings his nose; making him remembers something from his past.
“I’ve smell this scent somewhere before… I couldn’t remember it, though” Hikaru thought

As Hikaru gets deeper into the house, he hears some sweet melodies from Koto someone played.
“What is that song? I’ve heard it somewhere before” said Hikaru

It was Takisoba from the Onimusha game, composed by Mamoru Samuragoch. Someone remembers every tune, and able to play it very well. Looks like the melodies come from the side of waterfall.

When Hikaru follows the melodies, he found himself at the big field, filled with trees and flowers. The field was at the side of the pond and waterfall. Someone with a black kimono and red floral pattern is playing the Koto beautifully.

Hikaru approaches the person who played it, and sits under the tree as he listens to the sweet melody from the Koto. The sweet sound of the melody and the stinging scent plus his fatigue from running around the compound, makes him very tired.
“…” Hikaru listens to the melody, while closing his eyes slowly

An image begins to flow in his head. He remembers something from his past; a near death personal experience and his first crush when he’s a kid. He was playing near the river, with a naughty little girl who’s older than him.
“Hey, don’t play near the river!” said little Hikaru, “The current is very strong”

“I’ll be alright” said little girl that’s with him, “There’s nothing to be afraid of”

Suddenly, a loud sound can be heard from the upstream. It was an alarm when the dam will open the sluice gate.
“Uh-oh” said little Hikaru, “Let’s go home. Sis must be worried about us”

“No, I still need to find some more pretty rocks around here” said the girl

Then it happened. The water is flowing very fast from upstream, and in the same time, the water level raises and swept the little girl.
“Waaaah, Hikaru, help!” said the girl

“No! Oh, my… what should I do?” little Hikaru panicked, “I can't swim! I will call sister, wait up!”

“Help! Help!” the girl starts to drown

Hikaru feels very frightened. His panic moves him to help the drowning girl. Even though he can't swim, he knows a thing on how to floats himself.
“Hang on!” Hikaru grabs the girl, and swam against the current

Hikaru feels very tired swimming against the strong current while carrying someone with him. He gets swept as well by the current. Next thing he remembers is he wakes up in the other side of the river, far from village location.
“Mom! Dad! Sis! Heeelp!” Hikaru yelled

Seno, Hikaru’s parents, and the girl’s parent found them at the other side of the big river. With the help of other village people, they are rescued. Since then, little Hikaru learns to swim quickly to prevent this from happening again.

The day turns to night and its six o’clock already. Hikaru wakes up in someone’s lap. The skin was very soft, and the scent is very sweet.
“Umm…” Hikaru groaned, “Shit! I must’ve fallen asleep! It’s late already!”

“Hi, there sleepy boy” said the girl, “Why are you sleeping out here? You’ll catch a cold”

It was Yuki. She smiled as Hikaru’s face turned red and panicked. She is the one who plays the Koto, with black kimonos and red floral pattern. She wears it without underwear, and she exposed her chests and Hikaru can see her breast cleavage clearly.
“Why… why are you here? Why am I here?” Hikaru sounded panic

“Relax, silly” Yuki smiled, “I’m the one who asked you to deliver the bento box for me. It’s late already, why don’t you stay here for the night, and let’s eat something, okay? I’ll cook dinner for you”

“I can't… I have to go back to work” said Hikaru

“You don’t have to. I already told the manager that you will borrow the scooter for awhile” Yuki replied, “Come on”

“The manager said okay? Come to think of it, when you wanted me to accompany you, and three days ago when you hang with Moriyama, the manager always nodded” Hikaru said, “Is there something going on with you and the manager?”

“You absolutely right… what if I told you that I’m the owner of the restaurant?” Yuki asked

“I thought manager is the owner” Hikaru replied, “Because he’s fired by Kaoru, he opens his own restaurant with his savings”

“You thought that Kaoru was the one who fire him? You’re very wrong” Yuki spins her head, “It was the manager who resigned himself, and the manager promised to Kaoru that he’ll said that Kaoru is firing him”

“Why would he do that?” Hikaru looks puzzled

“He wants to help you guys to achieve your goals” Yuki stands up, “That’s why he has to act like that”

“I feel bad for him” Hikaru frowned, “I wished that he told me what had happened”

“If it was up to me to tell you, I will tell you not to quit racing” Yuki said, “For the last few days, me and the others are seeing you differently”

“Yah? What’s that suppose to mean?” Hikaru asked

“You don’t seem as alive as when you are racing” Yuki answered, “That’s how I feel as well. You can't quit, Hikaru. Many people cared about you and your street racing career… Kojiro, Kaoru, Wild Beast team, Tarou and the others… they care for you deeply”

“… I don’t know what to say” Hikaru closed his eyes, “I quit already, and I won't race anymore”

“Well, that’s really unfortunate. I told your sister, that you’ll stay for tonight” Yuki added, “She gave me your change of clothes, uniform for tomorrow, your books, and shoes”

“How do you know all about Wild Beast team, Kaoru, and stuffs about street racing?” Hikaru asked

“Well, Tarou and the others told me” Yuki answered, “They seems very upset about you leaving the team just like that”

“I see” Hikaru nodded, “They have to learn to be the best on their own. I don’t want to get in their way for getting the fame for themselves”

“That’s so kind of you” Yuki grinned, “I’m sure they will understand when the time comes”

“Yuki…” Hikaru said, “You are very skilled at that Koto, you are great with wooden sword… You are indeed a multitalented person”

“You saw me at the gym today, huh?” Yuki stares at Hikaru, “What do you think?”

“Well that’s good if girls these days know how to defend themselves” Hikaru nodded, “The exercise is good too for the body, right?”

“Do you prefer mature and calm woman, or mature and wild woman?” Yuki asked, “Which one does you like the most?”

“Neither… I don’t want to get involve myself with girls for awhile” Hikaru answered

“That’s good” Yuki replied, “Well, lets eat dinner”

Hikaru talked a lot with Yuki. He feels very comfortable to have a friend to talked to.
“So that’s it, huh?” Yuki said, “She left you because of your clumsiness. I can't blame her, though. Rena is a needy person and from what can I tell, she has a crush on you before”
“I see. Well, that all history now” Hikaru sighed

Yuki cooked spicy beef and mushroom udon. In it, she puts a lot of spices and vegetables. She also cooked spicy spinach salad with fishes and tomatoes.
“You are good chef. How many skills do you have anyway? I can never cook better than you” Hikaru smirked

“Is it really good? Well if you want to know, I did learn many skills from my trips around the world” Yuki said, “I want to be useful for my future husband… I want to be needed by my husband and child”

“…” Hikaru nodded to show he’s understand, “Good luck in finding the person, okay?”

“Same goes for you” Yuki pats Hikaru’s shoulder

“No… I think I won't be married to anybody” Hikaru said, “I have too many childish behavior, and that is one of my biggest weaknesses”

“And the others are?” Yuki asked

“The second bad habit of mine is money spender, manga maniac, shoes lover, and lastly…” Hikaru sighed, “Car maniac…”

“… You do love racing” Yuki pours some warm herbal tea to a cup and gives it to Hikaru, “Here you go”

“Thank you” Hikaru sips his herbal tea, “It’s no use… I already promised not to talk about cars anymore… I also intending to give away all my Nismo gear”

“What if I keep it? I want to give it to someone else” Yuki asked, “Can I have it?”

“Sure, I’ll give them to you tomorrow” Hikaru nodded, “This tea is also good! What do you lack anyway? I’m sure your future husband will always take a good care of you”

“Thank you for the compliment… it’s late, so you better get some rest” Yuki said, “The guest room is across this house’ living room. Good night, Hikaru”

“Yes, good night” Hikaru replied

The living room is very big, with Sony full HDTV and equipped with Sony’s latest home theatre system. The guest room is across the living room.
“Wow” Hikaru said as he looked at all corners of the room

The guest room looks very comfy. The room is big, and even without air conditioner the room was very cool… maybe because of the waterfall. The bed is big, with many soft looking pillows on it.

Hikaru puts his bag on the floor and hops into the bed to get some rest.
“I wonder what has the little girl become” Hikaru wondered, “It’s been so long that I even forget her face”

At around the midnight, Hikaru wakes up. He needs to drink some water because he’s very thirsty.
“Water” Hikaru groaned, “Where is the water?”

He gets out from the room, to get something to drink. After he found a water dispenser and drinks a lot of water from it, he gets back to the room. He saw Yuki on the way back to the guest room. She was sitting at her room near the window, above the outside pond. Her face lit by the moonlight from the dark sky of night. It looks like she has trouble to sleep.
“Can’t sleep?” Hikaru asked

“Oh hi…” Yuki said, “Please come on right in, and sit here”

Her room was ridiculously big. She had big rack for her clothes, all sorts of music CD, cooking books, comics, and musical instrument manual- all lined up tidily. She also had various photos of her with famous people like Michael Schumacher, Felipe Masa, Kimi Raikkonen, Casey Stoner, Tomiko Van, and many other famous people. On her desk, there is a black colored die cast toy of R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R and a picture of a little girl.

Hikaru is dying to see the face of the little girl in the picture, but the owner of the room is right in front of his eyes, so he immediately sit near the window as well.
“I can't sleep because I’m thinking of my first crush when I was a kid. Funny thing is, I forget how he looked like” Yuki bites her lip, “I wonder what happened to him by now”

“Maybe he’s out there somewhere as well. And maybe he’s looking for you right now” Hikaru lifts his shoulders

“You’re right. I won't give up… I’ll find him no matter what” Yuki smiled, “Thanks Hikaru, finally I can get some sleep”

“Glad to be of any help… see you later” Hikaru gets out from the room

In the morning, Yuki is already busy at the kitchen. She cooks a scrambled egg with wheat bread and sausage. She also pours some milk for Hikaru and her.

Hikaru gets our from the guest room with his bag and uniform.
“Good morning” Yuki said, “Come, let’s eat the breakfast”

“I feel bad for you to cook again for me” Hikaru said, “It feels kind of awkward as well”

“It’s no problem at all” Yuki serve the food, “Please, eat up”

“Do you have a mayonnaise?” Hikaru asked, “I always like to eat these kinds of dishes with mayonnaise”

“Of course” Yuki nodded, “I’ll get it for you, just wait a minute”

Yuki grabs a bottle of mayonnaise from the fridge and give it to Hikaru.
“Thank you” Hikaru pours the mayonnaise to the plate

“I already returned the scooter to the restaurant. You will go with me on my car to the school” Yuki smiled

“I see… sorry for all the trouble” Hikaru bows

“No, please… raise your head” Yuki smiled, “Let’s eat up, so we can talk more on the way”

Hikaru and Yuki finishes up their breakfast as soon as they can, so they arrive in the school early. Inside Yuki’s Toyota Alphard, they talk more about TV shows, food, nice place to visit, sports they like, and many more. They seem to get along pretty well.

At school, everyone is whispering to one another about those two. It seems that Hikaru completely forgot about his heart break and move to Yuki this time.
“Oh you make bento? You made it earlier this morning?” Hikaru asked

“Yes, I am” Yuki nodded, “Want some? It’ll save your money really well. From this kind of savings, I can bought my 1098, you know”

“I see” Hikaru narrowed his eyes, “So what about the restaurant, then?”

“That’s a different story” Yuki laughs

“Someone has already moved on, I see” Rena smiled, “You guys are a perfect match”

“Someone who always talks too much about things she shouldn’t bother with” Hikaru grumble, “Go away…”

“Ho-ho…” Rena smiled even more, “I see, I see”

“Rena-chan… don’t tease him around, or he’ll definitely cry” Yuki said with serious look

“Man… you don’t have to bring that up again” Hikaru frowned, “I’ll see you later”

Hikaru knows that he’ll just get in the way, so he decides to just leave them alone and grab something to eat at the cafeteria.
“Did he really cry about me?” Rena asks, “How do you know all that?”

“Let’s just say I know more about Hikaru than most of the girls” Yuki stares at Rena, “And you should stay away from him as well, since I know you still have feelings for him… it’ll be bad for you and Moriyama”

“Is that an advice for a friend or an advice for a rival?” Rena stares Yuki back

“He doesn’t move on completely… yet. And when he does, he’ll certainly find another girl for him” Yuki smiled, “The one who loves him best and the one who takes care of him completely”

“Is that you, by any chance?” Rena sits in Hikaru’s chair

“Who knows? I can't read my own fortune, you know” Yuki lifts her shoulders, “I can't use my physic power to know what I want to know… it’s forbidden, and I’ll lose my power definitely”

“You sure you have that kind of power? I’m still thinking that you just made it up” Rena smirked

“In another minute, the teachers’ office window glass will be shattered” Yuki said as she eats her egg sushi

PRANG!

“Hey! Who the hell did that?” said a teacher from the office below

“Oh, it’s sooner than I thought” Yuki smiled to Rena, “There are always something that goes beyond our minds alone… you better learn to trust me, or it’ll cost you dearly”

At the cafeteria, everyone is whispering about Hikaru’s new move. They seemed jealous toward him and Yuki.
“I don’t feel to comfortable” Hikaru sighed, “Damn gossipers!”

“Yo, Hikaru!” said Souya from behind him, “Is it true that you made a move to get closer to Yuki?”

“No, I didn’t… why do you ask that?” Hikaru asks back

“We’re just curious, that’s all” Clark smirked, “Do you gave up on racing completely, huh?”

“I did say that again and again” Hikaru replied, “I quit”

“We’ll prove it to you that we can do better without you and Steve around” Iwami said

“Good. You have to depend on yourself eventually” Hikaru nods, “Good luck on the team”

“We’ll get through this, Tarou. We will” Yamada grinned, “Let’s show that to him”

“What about Steve? He will always stick around with us, right?” Clark said

“No… the only reason Steve joins us in the first place is because he’s attracted to Hikaru’s performance in the street racing world” Souya replied, “I wouldn’t count on him too much if I were you”

“Let’s ask Satoshi and Kenjou if they are willing to train us after the summer vacation” Gonsuke adds

It’s settled. They will once again ask for guidance from Satoshi and Kenjou to sharpen themselves. There will be no more Hikaru and Steve; Sky Captain or Grip Apprentice.

Hikaru walks home with Yuki. He promised to give her all his Nismo gear that he has. Maybe it’s sounded strange; Yuki, who has a lot of money, takes used Nismo gears from him. He also gives himself some of this thought, but he remembers that she intends to give it away to someone else, so it should be alright.
“Here you go” Hikaru gives the gears in one bag, “Thank you for your willingness to take it away”

“No problem” Yuki smiled, “What about that GT-R poster? Do you still want to keep it?”

“If you want, I’ll give it to you also” Hikaru takes the poster off from his wall, “Here you go”

“Thank you. I’m sure my friend will be thrilled” Yuki said, “It’s from Sky Captain, after all”

“Knock it off, Sky Captain is no more” Hikaru scratches his head, “Come on, I’ll take you home”

Hikaru gets back down with Yuki to get her back home. He searches for Seno’s Honda Fit key and gets the car out from the garage.
“It feels so empty” Hikaru sighed, “I’m sorry, Sky”

Yuki bites her lip when he saw Hikaru feels sad like that. She wanted to do something for him, but she knows it’s best to let him takes care of his own problems.
“Okay, the engine is heated up” Hikaru drives slowly, “Let’s go”

Hikaru drives carefully to avoid any damage in Seno’s car. He knows it very well what will happens if he dents his sister’s car.
“What’s wrong? Why don’t you speed up a little?” Yuki grinned, “Seno-san won't get mad at you”

“That’s not the case” Hikaru said, “I learned so many things about safety driving… this area are around the neighborhood, so I won't speed up”

Hikaru drops off Yuki at the entrance of her house. Her security guard is waiting at the big gate of the house, to make sure nothing goes wrong with their young mistress.
“Okay, thanks for the ride” Yuki smiled

“No problem. See you tomorrow at school” Hikaru replied, “I have to go and get to work”

“If I make you bento tomorrow, will you eat it?” Yuki asked with a lot of enthusiast

“If it’s not too much trouble for you, then okay. I’ll eat it” Hikaru smiled, “See you tomorrow”

Yuki feels very happy that she helped him a bit to forget about his precious GT-R. Maybe it’s not really much, but nevertheless she feels very happy.
“She is such a sweet girl” Hikaru smirked, “Too bad she has her own interest on someone else. I will never get too close with anyone again”

Just added RPM 11... This time, it's getting more and more on track.

BTW, can anybody please give me a hint on how to write correctly? When to use commas, dots, etc?

RPM 15 is here

RPM 15: New Partner

Hikaru do nothing in his spare time. All he does now is work, work and work. He thinks about cars sometime, but he immediately throws the thought away. However, fate will decide things differently. He will always stick to the street racing world until the day he dies.
“Umu?” Yuki mumbles, “Hikaru, what are you doing over there?”

Hikaru is at the big branch of a tree. He often climbs the tree to see Yuki in kendo training.
“I’m watching you train” Hikaru replied, “Are you finished yet?”

“Not yet. The coach is giving us five minutes to rest” Yuki wipes her sweat

“The bento you made is very delicious” Hikaru climbs down the tree, “You must be tired doing all that intense training”

“Not really” Yuki said while she stretch her neck, “It’s really fun and good to train your concentration, it’s good to shape your body as well”

“Here, this is for you” Hikaru said as he gives a bottle of Gatorade

“Thank you, Hikaru” Yuki takes the Gatorade and drink it up, “I love the Chilly Blueberry flavor”

“Thank God you liked it” Hikaru said, “Well; I must go to the restaurant to work. See you tomorrow”

“Please stay here and keep me company” Yuki replied as she pulls Hikaru’s clothes, “I don’t want to be left alone at this big school by myself after I trained… it’s so lonely”

“Okay. I’ll hang around to wait for you” Hikaru nodded, “Is that alright with you?”

“Just wait here… please watch me as I train” Yuki pulls Hikaru’s clothes

“Anything for you” Hikaru sits down near the gym’s door

“I’ll be finished soon” Yuki pats Hikaru’s head, “Wait a moment okay?”

“Yuki… I really, really liked you” Hikaru said

“Me too” Yuki smiled

“Hikaru… Hikaru…” said a girl with familiar voice

“What?” Hikaru falls down instantly, “Aaaahhh!”

“That doesn’t sounds very good…” Yuki said, “What are you doing up there? Sleeping?”

Hikaru tends to have dreams just like these, no matter if he’s in school, or he’s in his home. There is no way Yuki would ask a man she just met to do such a thing. Even though that is just a dream, he did one thing that’s exactly the same as his dream; waiting at the tree.
“I was waiting for you to show up” Hikaru replied, “I want to say that the bento you made is very delicious”

“Thank you” Yuki nodded, “The coach gives us five minutes to take a break”

“Here, this is for you” Hikaru said as he gives a bottle of Gatorade

“Thank you, Hikaru” Yuki takes the Gatorade and drink it up

“Okay, I already did what I came for” Hikaru smiled, “Well; I must go to the restaurant to work. See you tomorrow”

“See you tomorrow, then” Yuki nodded, “Be careful on the way”

Hikaru frowned. He doesn’t feel too good because everything isn’t going according to his plans… or rather his dreams. He walked slowly carrying his bag with a sad look in his face.
“I wonder what is he dreaming of?” Yuki looks confused, “Why did he leave disappointed like that? Boys will always be boys I guess”

Hikaru worked with no spirits at all in the restaurant. His way of speaking and acting, and his facial expression to the customers is the problem. Not only it’s bad for the customers; it makes the manager and his fellow worker feels uncomfortable as well, seeing him like that.
“Hikaru, I think you need to take a day off” the manager said, “Your face is telling me that you are in no condition to work”

“I’m sorry to trouble you manager” Hikaru sighed, “I’m just not myself recently”

“Hikaru, if I may give you some advice, why don’t you take it easy for awhile” the manager sighs as well, “Youngsters like you don’t need to work as hard like this. You’re still young, and you need to enjoy the youth as much time as you can”

“I understand, manager” Hikaru replied flatly

“Go home now… and get some rest” the manager nodded

Hikaru goes to the worker’s lounge to change his clothes. Gonsuke follows him short after to talk to him.
“Cheer up, Hikaru” Gonsuke said, “Be careful on the way back, okay?”

“Thank you for your concerns, Gon” Hikaru replied, “See you tomorrow”

Hikaru walks slowly like a turtle. He doesn’t wants to arrive home fast. At his house, Seno is in bad mood as well; looks like something was up.
“Want to know what happened? Uncle just said to me that we should go to Suzuka right now” Seno bawled, “I have important meeting for tomorrow. If I don’t make it, then my boss will fire me”

“I’ll go then” Hikaru replied, “Don’t worry, I’m sure uncle will understand if I explained to him”

“Thank you, Hikaru” Seno pats Hikaru’s head, “The train ticket is at the desk. Pack up now, because the train will leave at 8 P.M.”

Hikaru packs his clothes to a small sized bag. He doesn’t have any intention to stay long in there. After eating his dinner and takes a bath, he’s ready to go.
“I’ll take you to the station now” Seno said, “Come on”

Hikaru hops onto Seno’s car and off he go to Suzuka. At the train station, Hikaru’s face is just the same; no expression at all with blank eye stares.
“If you don’t want to go, then it’s alright” Seno said, “Your face looked awful”

“Sorry if my face is like this” Hikaru straightens his face, “I’m ready to go. See you later, sis”

Hikaru gets into the train. He sits at one of the empty chairs near the window.
“I hope you can take it easy over there” Seno waves her hand, “Be careful”

“Yes, see you later” Hikaru sway his hand

Seno gets back to her car and ignites the engine. She also noticed that Hikaru behaves strangely… strangely and annoying.
“Damn it! What is wrong with that kid?” Seno seems mad

Suddenly, she receives a phone call from someone. She recognizes the number that shows up on her cell phone, though.
“Seno… it’s me; Kojiro” Kojiro said

“What’s wrong? Do you already get the broken engine yet?” Seno asked, “If you do, can you immediately begin the repairs? I need that car as good as new, fast”

“You’re going to give it back to Hikaru?” Kojiro ask back

“No. I’ll come back to the street” Seno smiled, “I will succeed the Sky Captain title”

“Are you sure?” Kojiro doubted her

“Yes. If Hikaru doesn’t want to be the Sky Captain anymore, I will” Seno said

“Alright, I’ll begin the repairs right away” Kojiro sighed, “How about the chassis?”

“I’ll get one from the junkyard later” Seno grinned, “Don’t worry, just worry about the engines. I’ll pay for the parts and repairs”

“Forget about the money” Kojiro said, “It was you who introduced me to racing world, so I guess this is a kind of thanks I could give”

“Is that for me? Or is that for my brother?” Seno asks while she drives away

“Both of you of course” Kojiro nodded, “I’ll see you later with the engine”

“Kojiro, think you can get me a sequential gears for R34? I think Quaife made one” Seno said

“I’ll do my best” Kojiro replied

In the train, Hikaru stares outside the window. Staring at the endless railway, he sighed while listens to his Walkman Phone. He’s been to Suzuka before for the GT-R owners meet. At that time, he’s so proud to drive one, be able to win at the first place with his new friends, and was known in Tokyo as the Sky Captain.

Suddenly there is a call to his phone. It was from an unknown number…When he picks it up, it was a woman’s voice and she claims to be the Black Phantom’s driver.
“Hi there, Sky Captain” said the woman, “I’m the driver of Black Phantom… How are you faring lately? I bet you are very sad right now about your car and the girl you lost”

Hikaru listens carefully. Her voice was the only help Hikaru need to move on. Whether he realizes it or not, he begun to idolizes this Black Phantom girl.
“I want you to stop thinking about it. It’s no use dwelling too much in the past. Even if you do, time will never move backwards. It won't bring your GT-R back or Rena by your side… there is no use crying over spilt milk” the woman keeps on talking, “You left your friends to their own fate, you broke the promise you made to kick RJ7’s sorry asses… You have to remember that everyone is counting on you”

“…” Hikaru keeps on listening with his eyes closed

“So cheer up. Forget about everything” the woman adds, “See you around”

Meanwhile, Yuki sighed at his underground garage. She turns off the intercom line, and gets off from her car.
“Cheer up, okay?” Yuki thought as she bites her lip

Hikaru sighed because he knows what Black Phantom said is right. He wouldn’t be able to move forward if he still look back on the past.

Forget about Rena, forget his GT-R and more importantly, forget about Yuki and his feelings. He has more important things to do. Thinking positively, made him got all of his lost confidence gone… he smiled once again while he looked at the outside of the train.
“Screw them all!” Hikaru yelled in the crowded train

Everyone is turning their attention at him. What is he doing, yelling at the crowded train like that? Hikaru feels great as if a heavy weight just lifted from his shoulders. He’s very tired because of thinking too much about his problem lately, so instead he gritted his teeth and slaps his face few times.
“Huh…” Hikaru thought, “I’m back… I will rise from the dead to get my revenge!”

At Suzuka, Hikaru waits for his uncle to come by and pick him up. His sister already told their uncle that Hikaru will be the one who visited him.
“Hikaru, over here!” said a middle aged man who drives a Honda Accord, “Get in, son”

“Uncle, Auntie!” said Hikaru as he runs toward the car

He is an older brother of Hikaru’s deceased mother. His name is Tawamura Morita, and his wife Tawamura Mayu. They are the one who takes good care of Hikaru and Seno when their parents passed away.
“So how is the Sky Captain doing, huh? Still sad because you lost your car?” said his uncle

“You knew about the Sky Captain?” Hikaru panicked

“Now, now… don’t get too excited there” Morita adds, “It’s fine by us though… even when your auntie here doesn’t agree the first time you become a street racer”

“Your immaturity causes you the accident! Thank God you are alive and well, dear” Mayu said, “You must be tired from all of that traveling… after we get back to the house, why don’t you get some rest”

“Okay” Hikaru nodded

“Why didn’t Seno come with you as well?” Morita asked, “Is she busy or something?”

“Yes, she said she is sorry” Hikaru explained, “She just being appointed to be the head director, so she becomes very busy with her work”

“I see… well, can't blame her” Morita smiled

“Have you eaten something before, dear?” Mayu asked, “If you haven’t, I made you some okonomiyaki here”

“Thanks, auntie” Hikaru smirks, “I already eaten, but how could I resist your okonomiyaki?”

Hikaru loves his auntie’s homemade okonomiyaki. It has a lot of eggs and lots of vegetables, and fish meats and sweet corn. He ate it as fast as he can, because he’s starving.
“I thought you just said that you ate something from Tokyo” Mayu looked surprised

“I did, but I’m hungry now” Hikaru nodded as he continues to eat

“Young men do have large appetite” Morita laughs, “Just like the way I am when I was younger”

The countryside like this is what Hikaru needs to forget everything from his mind. Fresh airs, friendly neighbors, sound of river flowing… everything is so nice here. Hikaru couldn’t stop smiling on the way. They drive to get back home immediately because it’s late already.

Hikaru sleeps in his uncle’s office. After preparing the bed, Hikaru sits down to unpack his clothes. Morita comes in with a big smile in his face. He is so excited with Hikaru’s arrival.
“Hikaru, before you get to sleep…” Morita said, “Why don’t you come with me and see how we worked at the factory”

“You mean to Honda plant in Suzuka? Sure, why not?” Hikaru replied

“That’s the spirit!” Morita laughs, “See you tomorrow morning, kiddo”

His uncle never has a child from his marriage. That’s why they took the responsibilities of replacing Seno and Hikaru’s parents when they passed away. They must have been lonely, living in this place without any children for so long.

Hikaru throws himself at the fluffy futon. The futon smells very nice and soft.
“I wonder what everyone is doing right now…” Hikaru wondered

Hikaru wakes up. He couldn’t let himself to sleep without saying he’s sorry for troubling everyone. He reaches his cell phone, hoping to text them a message, or calls them directly.

When he tried, no luck; his cell phone battery is dead. Even though the service is available, he didn’t bring his phone charger with him. How careless of him.
“Damn it” Hikaru flips his phone

When Hikaru puts the phone on the desk, he saw a lot of Honda Tuning magazine. Of course; his uncle works for Honda Company as factory plant manager here. It’s not a surprise if he has a lot of Honda Tuning magazines here.

Suzuka people around here are proud to be one of the Honda families. Because of the plant’s movement from Tochigi to here, many people overjoyed because some of their family member is being employed by Honda Company; whether as security, worker, or mechanics.

Meanwhile, back at Tokyo everyone is very busy preparing for school festival. They usually held a school festival event near summer vacation. Today, they are appointing the student who will participate in these events.
“Okay, who’s going to participate in the sprint event?” Yue-sensei asked, “What about Tarou and Rika?”

“Sure thing, ma’am” Rika nodded, “We will do our best”

“Then comes to the basketball event… I will appoint Moriyama and Rena to participate it” Yue-sensei said

Everybody cheered up for them when they are being paired together.
“Man, lucky thing Hikaru is late” Gonsuke whispered to Souya, “I don’t know what kind of reaction he shows when he hears that”

“Same here” Souya replied

“Okay, and for the painting, dancing, and kendo” Yue-sensei added, “I will appoint Sarah, Jessie and Yuki to supervise it. And as for swimming, I’ll appoint Clark and Gonsuke”

“Yes, ma’am” Yuki smiled, “We’ll do our best”

“What about Hikaru? Where is he?” Yue-sensei stares at Hikaru’s chair

“His sister told me that he has a family business to attend, so he’s at Suzuka right now” Yuki answered

“Why do you bother with his trouble anyway?” Rena grinned to Yuki, “It’s not good for your health to involve yourself with that kind of guy”

“I’m just delivering the message” Yuki lifts hers shoulders, “It’s not like I’m helping him to rob a bank or something”

“Yes! That’s what I was talking about” Rena points her finger towards Yuki, “You act as if he’s your husband or something”

“I’m intending to be a good wife for my future husband someday” Yuki said, “I was told to deliver the message, and that’s what I’m doing right now. I obeyed and that’s what a good wife will do”

“…” Rena spins her head in confusion, “You choose him to be your future husband?”

“You’re being silly, dear. You’re not jealous, are you?” Yuki replied, “Please stop it… you’re annoying”

Yuki stared at Rena with furious look. The look was so furious that it makes Rena feels threatened. She never realizes that Yuki can be so dangerous like that.
“Thank you for the heads up, Yuki” Yue-sensei said, “I will appoint him, Steve, Clark and Souya to follow the musical event”

“What will he do in the event? He can't sing or play a musical instrument, right?” Yuki asked, “Steve is also not here yet”

“Don’t worry, they will be back at the end of the week” Clark said, “And don’t worry about our little princess, he can play electric guitar as good as Ken from L’Arc and sing as good Gackt… well, not really I guess”

“Okay, good luck on the events” Yue-sensei said, “Do well, and don’t embarrass our class! Win this, and there will be no summer vacation homework!”

Back at Suzuka, it ten o’clock, Hikaru and his uncle go to the Honda’s factory plant. Metal alloys hangs everywhere, cutting sound, robots working, conveyor belt moves, painting smells, lots of people works to assemble parts with other parts to form a car- is just few things Hikaru sees around here. Hikaru folds his arms as he watch all of them working to produce the thing he love the most; cars.
“This plant is one of our main production lines” Morita grinned, “We assemble a lot of Honda cars here”

“So many robots and workers” Hikaru thought, “So this is what factory for manufacturing cars look like”

“Come on, I’ll show you around the place” Morita points the way, “Follow me”

They wandered around the factory, doing sightseeing here and there. Near the office, Hikaru saw a white haired girl running towards a car. She sits at the bonnet, and it caught Hikaru’s eyes.
“What’s wrong, Hikaru?” Morita grinned, “You acts as if you’ve seen a ghost or something”

When Hikaru tries to find the girl, she’s not there. Instead, he sees a 2008 Grand Prix White Honda S2000 on a white tiled display. The white color sparkles beautifully under the sunlight that came in from clear window glasses. The roof is retracted and the interior can be seen completely and it has black interior color that looks very clean. Hikaru’s eyes widen; he never was so attracted to a car like that. The car also equipped with built in navigation system and satellite phones on it.
“Uncle, what’s with that white car?” Hikaru asked, “Why that car is putted on a special display?”

“That is Honda S2000 in Grand prix White” Morita said, “Want to take a look at it?”

“Of course” Hikaru jumps from the stairs and run towards the car

“Now, now… don’t be too excited, or you’ll get hurt” Morita said as he follows Hikaru around

Hikaru remembers it because he’s seen S2000 before. Kenjou drives one like these, before he changed to Honda Accord Euro R.
“This car is so cool… I can't believe this” Hikaru said, “This car has 50-50 weight distribution, right?”

“Yes, you know your stuffs very well” Morita laughs, “Why don’t you take it for a test drive?”

“Manager, that one is equipped with F20C. The person who orders the car has moved away to Hawaii last month. He hasn’t paid for the freight and special ordering cost, so technically it belongs to us now” said one of the workers

“This is the 2008 models… but why with F20C?” Hikaru asked

“Well, some of the customer wants it the way like it used to; F20C engine offers more peak power than normal F22C” Morita replied, “We must’ve get this one from Singapore”

“I want this car, so I’m going to buy it” Hikaru smiled, “Give me the keys and I’ll test drive it right now”

“Why do you want this car?” Morita asked, “You choose this car to be the next Sky Captain?”

“No, uncle… Sky Captain is dead” Hikaru grinned, “I need a new car, and I choose this one to be my new partner. I’ll rise from the dead to get my revenge…”

“I see” Morita nodded, “Well, if that is your decision, then I guess that will be okay”

“Here is the key” said one of the assembly workers, “Please don’t push it too hard for awhile, because the engine is still new and it needs good lubrication on each part”

“I know… I never ride a new car before. It has a start button, just like the FD2!” Hikaru hops into the car and start the engine, “Now, I have my own money to buy this thing, and I’ll make this car to be the best S2000 ever!”

As expected from high revving natural aspirated engine; the sound’s dry and loud. Hikaru test the car at the small course outside of the plant. He easily synchronizes himself with the car.
“Nice to meet you” voice of a girl can be heard in the car, “What would you like to call me?”

“Let’s see… What about Silmeria?” Hikaru smiled

“That’s a nice name” the girl replied, “Please don’t push me too hard until you reach 5,000 KM”

“I know” Hikaru said, “I just need to drive you everyday”

“He is your nephew isn’t he, sir?” said another worker, “He handles the car very well”

“It’s because he was known as the Sky Captain in Tokyo” Morita replied, “He is my little sister’s son. He always liked cars since he’s a small child. Take a look what happened to him now- he’s grown up to be one of the most respected street racers”

Hikaru does three to five laps, with average speed of 60 KM/H. He really takes care of his new car. His GT-R is a used car, so he has no fear of flooring the throttle very much… even though he has fears for his burning pocket deep.
“Okay, uncle” Hikaru smiled, “I’ll bring her home right now”

“Not so fast… where is the money for the car?” Morita asked for the money

“Oh, shit! I forgot to take some with me” Hikaru slap his forehead, “Can you cover it for me? I’ll pay you back right after”

“I see… then that means I just have to pay for it” Morita smirks, “Here is the money and please get the license plate number and the documents for me”

“Yes sir” said the worker

S2000’s behavior is very different from GT-R; the engine, drive train system, performance, even the handling, there is a big gap for both of them. But it seems all of the differences didn’t makes Hikaru had a hard time, though.

After Hikaru is done testing his new car, he parks it inside the factory again. Everyone is having a lunch break when Hikaru test his new S2000. Every worker in there knows about the Sky Captain, because the manager always talks about his nephew who becomes a street racer in Tokyo with a GT-R. That name is not just for show; the kid can drive very well.
“Hey kiddo, are you the famous Sky Captain?” a bearded worker ask him

“Yes, I was the Sky Captain” Hikaru said, “The name is attached to the car, not me”

“I see” the worker nodded, “Are you sure that you want to make that S2000 of yours to be the fastest S2000?”

“Yes. I watched on Youtube that this car can withstand 200 KM/H stock” Hikaru replied, “Is there something wrong?”

“No, but it will took a lot of work and tuning to reach that kind of level” said another worker

“I’m new to Honda vehicles, so I don’t know what kind of work I will require to turn this baby into a beast” Hikaru adds, “Anyone knows?”

“For starters, I guess your engine needs a bit of work” said a mechanic, “What about balancing? You knew anything about it?”

“No… But I read once that Nur engine is being blueprinted, and is balanced to withstand big horsepower” Hikaru scratches his head, “You see basically, my job is to drive the car. I used to have a mechanic for my GT-R”

“I see… then I guess that you should meet the best Honda tuner in Tokyo” said another mechanic, “Do you know anyone that’s called Carbon NSX?”

“Carbon NSX? Nagisa Kaoru?” Hikaru sounds surprised, “He is the best tuner for Honda cars? I thought that he is the best for NSX”

“Theoretically he is, but he knows most about Honda’s cars inside and out” the mechanic adds

“I got so many things to learn. I guess that’s alright, though” Hikaru chuckles, “I’ll ask him to tune my S2000”

“And you should get some help too from the apprentice of the Wild Beast team” the mechanic said, “I heard that they join a small timed team called High School Street Racers”

“Sorry if we are small timed” Hikaru frowned, “You mean Satoshi and Kenjou?”

“Yes, that’s their names” Morita said, “So… you glad you came here or what?”

“Glad? I’m thrilled! Thanks to your letter of visit, I meet this babe” Hikaru smiled

“To get 5,000 KM easily, we suggest you to run on Wangan back and forth” said the worker

“I will” Hikaru nodded, “Thanks for your advice”

“Let’s get back and eat our lunch. Your auntie must be waiting now” said Morita, “See you later, guys. Keep working hard, okay?”

“Yes, chief!” said all of the workers

Hikaru and his uncle get back to the house to eat their lunch. When Hikaru parks his new car, he saw many boxes with Mugen logos in the garage.
“Uncle, don’t tell me that you’re going to use all of these in your car” Hikaru said

“You read me” Morita laughs, “I spend so much money on buying these stuffs, but your aunt isn’t going to let me use them on the car”

“I see” Hikaru smirks, “Then I guess auntie won't mind if I pay for those things and use it for my car”

“I won't” said Mayu, “But eats your lunch first, then you can use them in your car”

“Right away” Hikaru said, “Sorry, uncle… but I’m going to use them”

“Do as you like” Morita pouted, “Let’s eat, and I’ll help you with those”

Hikaru eats as fast as he can, because he wants to use all the parts to his new car.
“Hikaru, don’t eat too fast” Morita said, “You’ll choked”

“Don’t worry, uncle” Hikaru replied, “Time won't wait for me, and Silmeria is dying to get new parts equipped”

“Now, dear… who is Silmeria?” Mayu smiled, “Is she your girlfriend?”

“Yes, my new girlfriend” Hikaru drinks his cold tea, “Thanks for the food!”

Hikaru wipes his mouth, and puts all the dishes at the sink. After that, he runs to the garage to see what kind of parts he can use.
“I need universal parts like… this Mugen fuel cap, carbon oil cap, S1-R bucket seat and railings, shift knob, Takata harness, radiator cap” Hikaru said, “Luckily this shift knob is a black one”

“Want me to help?” Morita grinned, “Even though I know you’ll said no”

“Yes, please. I can use some help to saves time” Hikaru answered, “Let’s start with bucket seats, and the harnesses”

Hikaru and his uncle take off the seats and railings to install the new railing along with the new seats.
“Okay, since you don’t have any roll cage, let’s install these harnesses on the railing as well” Morita rubs his chin, “What’s wrong, Hikaru?”

“Maybe I’ll go back to the factory, and ask one of the mechanics to yank the seatbelt sensor along with the seatbelts itself” Hikaru scratches his head, “What do you think, uncle?”

“I suppose that will be alright” Morita replied, “Let us continue”

Thirty minutes later they already finished installing the bucket seat along with its harnesses. The car now looks very menacing in the inside; Mugen S1-R full bucket seats with black and red color complete with four points Takata harnesses.

Seeing both of them tired, Mayu brought them homemade orange juice to drink. Hikaru quickly grabs one and drink it up to the last drop.
“My goodness… You guys are indeed tired from all that work” Mayu smiled, “Why don’t you get a decent rest at the living room for awhile?”

“Not just yet, auntie” Hikaru smirks, “I still need to change the fuel cap, oil cap and radiator cap here”

Hikaru opens up the hood of his car and changes the oil cap, and radiator cap. After that he closes it again, and opens up the fuel filler to change the fuel cap. Then he gets inside the car, and takes off the standard shift knob.
“Well…” Hikaru smiled as he glances at his newly purchased car, “I wasn’t expecting this car to be this cool looking”

“Hikaru… there is something I need to tell you” Morita sounded very serious, “This is regarding your new car”

“Yes, don’t worry… I’ll pay for it right away” Hikaru gets in the car and ignites the engine

“No, that’s not the most important issues right now” Morita spins his head, “Actually, the real reason I ask you to come here, is to help us beat this annoying punk from Tokyo. He’s been around here for awhile, and is disturbing most of the car enthusiast here”

“I see. That’s why you needed my help” Hikaru nodded, “I’ll help, but not with my car here”

“So, what do you want to drive with?” Morita asked, “I’ll get a fast car for you immediately”

“Do you have a friend who drives a fast car? No matter what it is, I’ll drive it and definitely win” Hikaru replied

“We have a Mugen AP2 on the display at the factory” Morita smiled, “What about that? It has stage three N.A. tuning, and it behaves greatly”

“Let me see it” Hikaru said as he opens the left door of his car

“That’s the spirit, let’s go!” Morita laughs, “We’ll be out for awhile, dear”

“Don’t drive too fast, and please be careful” Mayu smiled

Hikaru drives back to the factory to check the display car and get his seatbelt sensor disabled and seatbelt removal.
“Uncle, I want to get the seatbelt sensor disabled, along with the seatbelt removal” Hikaru said when they arrived at the factory

“No problem” Morita nodded, “Please detaches the seatbelts and disables the seatbelt sensor on this car”

“While you at it, can you add it with V-Kool window tint? I need something that will darken my face from the side, and won't be seen from the back and front” Hikaru added

“Yes, we’ll have one like that” the worker said, “I’ll put it on now”

Both of them approach the Mugen display car at the showroom. The one they use as the display car is the AP2 type with Mugen lip kit, even though the color is white as well.
“Is this car really has stage three N.A. tuning?” Hikaru points the car

“Yes. We modified it ourselves to acts as demo car” Morita said, “That’s why we put on big Mugen decals on it”

“Can I take it for a spin? I need to have the feelings first” Hikaru asks for the key

“Here it is” Morita grabs the key from on of the shelves and throws it to Hikaru

Hikaru gets on and ignites the engine. The sound is very different than his S2000; this one is much louder.
“Uh… my ears hurt” Hikaru groaned, “Unbelievable”

“Try it out, kid! That car is what Honda has learned from so many years in the racing world” said the earlier mechanic

Hikaru shows wicked smile on his face. He feels that he’s truly alive in fast cars like this and his GT-R.
“Okay, I’ll start right away!” Hikaru starts to drive the car

He makes another lap in the test course outside. He can control the car easily with no problems. The handling is smoother than his car… maybe the suspension was replaced. The response on lower RPM is astounding. This is what AP1 lacks; mid RPM power.
“Okay” Hikaru gets off from the car, “When do we start?”

“What do you say if we do it tonight?” Morita smirks, “We’ll surely meet him tonight at the circuit”

“Tonight is fine with me” Hikaru nodded, “And moreover at Suzuka? I’ll do this with my eyes shut”

“What do you think kiddo?” the mechanic asked

“It’s very smooth. The handling, the response… so this is what AP2 is like” Hikaru answered, “The mid RPM power is astounding”

“Yes, and that what AP1 lacks on” the mechanic added, “So how do you overcome that problem?”

“I suppose a forced induction improvise the mid RPM power” Hikaru rubs his chins

“Guys, I’m going to take the car to my house” Morita gets into the AP2, “Come on Hikaru, let’s go back”

“See you guys tonight” Hikaru gets into his car

Later that night, all of the employees are watching Hikaru at the circuit. Everyone feels so psyched to see what kind of action the Sky Captain will give them with Honda’s car.

The punk which his uncle talks about has arrived. He drives a Nissan Skyline V35, which is called as the Skyline coupe here. After he lined up his car at the starting grid, he gets out from his car with the stupid look on his face. He looked very stupid with his big fat body of his and his belly which pops out from his clothes. The audio of his car is very loud, that it could raise the dead from the graves.
“I see that you are the hired man of Honda people around here” said the punk, “What do you say if we run for $10,000 for at least three laps”

“Hired man? He’s the Sk…” said one of the workers

“I don’t mind” Hikaru cuts in, “Let’s do it right away, I’m sleepy here”

“Okay… and since you use a factory tuned car, you have to give me at least five second margin” the punk adds

“Wait! That’s not fair!” said one of the mechanics

Hikaru lifts his hand to stop them. He accepts the handicap, whatever that is.

“Hikaru are you sure?” Morita whispered

“I’ll definitely win” Hikaru replied, “Besides; I don’t think you know much about your car. You think this big V6 engine and heavy body can stand up to lightweight sports car with inline four engines? You got to be kidding me!”

“I’ll make you eat those words” the punk gets into his car and ignites the engine

Hikaru does the same. He puts on the motorcycle goggles and gets into the car. He ignites it and revs it high, to intimidate him. It worked; the punk feels threatened and begins to sweat hard.
“…” Hikaru grips the steering wheel hard

Once again Hikaru shows ruthless look on his face and revs the engine hard. The punk glanced at him, and Hikaru immediately stares at him as well with a killer look.
“On your mark!” said Morita, “Three… two… one… go!”

Morita drops his hands and off the V35 go. Hikaru keeps on readily with his left foot on the clutch, while he revs moderately.
“Five… four… three… two… one… go!” Morita shouts

Hikaru launches the car perfectly. He begins to hunt down the V35 with a wicked smile in his face as if he’s possessed.
“There is no way you’re beating me” said the punk as he continues to increases his pace

Hikaru easily follows. The power of the V35 maybe bigger, but Hikaru’s experience on this circuit is better.
“There he is” Hikaru said as he enters the dark tunnel

“There he is! He’s following closely” said the punk in panic

But Hikaru’s headlight doesn’t appear anymore on his rearview mirror. Looks like Hikaru’s in trouble.
“Hahahaha, Take that, you idiot” said the punk gladly

What happened to Hikaru and where is he? Why his headlights didn’t appear on the rearview mirror of the V35 punk?
“He’s so stupid that he didn’t know I’m following him closely” Hikaru smiled, “I’m right at your back!”

Hikaru turns off his headlight. He intends to scare the punk with the disappearing technique. He drafted in the back of the V35 and overtakes it at the first chance he gets.
“Hey!” Hikaru shouts from his side, “You better come back in another thousand years to beat me!”

Hikaru turns his headlights back on. It freaks the punk out and makes him speeds too much and overtakes Hikaru again.
“You’re stupid!” Hikaru yells, “Watch where you going!”

He’s entering the Spoon Curve too fast, and that makes him even more freaked out.

“Oh my God!” said the punk as he turns his car hard

From the fast entry speed, and the hard turning he suddenly makes, his car flipped at 100 KM/H and rams the side barrier. Lucky for him the side of the barriers is guarded by the stacks of tires. The punk gets out from his car without any injuries, but his car got damaged and he pisses his own pants.
“I won” Hikaru smiled as he gets closer, “Where is the money?”

“Here! Take it, you bully” said the punk as he started to cry, “My car is faster than yours”

The punk gets some of the money out of his pocket, and throws it to the ground.
“You think everything can be solved with brute strength alone? You are indeed stupid” Hikaru spins his head as he takes the money, “Come back in another thousand years if you want a rematch with me”

“No way and I’m not going to race you anymore” the punk cries louder

“If you come back here, and bully these Honda people, I will come back from the grave and kick your ass!” Hikaru shouted, “Now get out of here!”

Hikaru gets back to his car, and drove off to the starting line. His taillights glows red blood in the dark night and it makes the punk more scared than ever.
“He’s a ghost! He’s a ghost!” the punk mumbles before he fainted out

At the finish line, everybody can only heard one engine sound that gets nearer and nearer; it’s the Mugen AP2.

Hikaru stopped the car at the starting grid and gets off with big smile in his face, so did the Honda factory workers.
“What happened to the punk?” Morita asked, “Where is he?”

“He takes a little nap at Spoon Curve and his car is damaged a bit” Hikaru smirks, “But no worries, I give him a scare or two… he won't come back here anymore”

“Well, then people, let’s get back home” Morita laughs, “Hikaru showed the punk what’s Honda all about, and he can assure you, the punk will never come back”

At the first thing in the morning, Hikaru has to go back to Tokyo. He finds a piece of him that he lost, and he’s very grateful for it.
“Thank you for the invitation, uncle” Hikaru bows, “Please don’t tell sis that I bought a new car”

“Yes… next time, bring your sister along with you, okay?” Morita smiled, “Thanks again, Hikaru”

“Here is the money I owed you for the car and the parts” Hikaru gives him some money

“Thank you very much, dear” Mayu smiled, “Please be careful on the way”

“Yes… auntie, uncle… I’m leaving” Hikaru hugs the two

“Take care, child” Morita pats Hikaru’s shoulder

“Thank you for everything” Hikaru smirks, “See you next month!”

Hikaru gets into his car and drove off into the morning mist. His glowing red taillights are the last thing they see.

At the Suzuka circuit, the punk wakes up and drives his car out of town. His friends are coming to the circuit to see how he’s doing.
“Yo, what’s up?” said another punk to him

“White Ghost, White Ghost is coming!” said the punk as he drives faster, “Let’s get out of here while we can!”

The news was spread all the way to Tokyo. The rumor was saying that a White Ghost is seen at Suzuka, and it moved to Tokyo to search for more victims. Many local street racers respect this White Ghost, because it was also fellow Honda car and defends the pride of being Honda driver. That also includes Satoshi, Kenjou, Gonsuke, and Kaoru as well.

Thanks for the comment, DEX. It really helps to knows that everyone is still reading my story

here is RPM 16

RPM 16: Show Time

Hikaru arrives at Tokyo at eleven o’clock in the morning. He wants to keep quiet about his new car debut because he intends to be a shadow driver just like the Black Phantom. He buys a newspaper to find where he can buy a garage.
“One here” Hikaru said as he highlights the address, “Two here… three here… that’s it”

Hikaru ignites his car again and drives to the address. He needs the garage which is not too far from his house, and can be accessed anytime.
“What about this one, sir?” the estate man asked

“This is good… concrete interior and good lighting makes you feel very warm in the inside” Hikaru nodded, “Okay, I’ll buy this one!”

Hikaru gives him the $5,000 and the estate man gives the key to Hikaru. This is Hikaru’s new base of operation for modifying, and tuning his car.
“Now, I’ll contact Kaoru to ask for help” Hikaru pushes his cell phone

The phone is dead. He forgot to charge it up in his house.
“Oh… it can't be helped” Hikaru scratches his head, “I’ll just go back home for now”

Hikaru close the garage and lock it up. He returns back home to get some rest and charges his battery.
“I’m home” Hikaru said, “Sis?”

Seno is not home yet. It looks like she’s at the office and is still working right now.
“What the heck… I’ll just get some sleep and charges my cell phone for now” Hikaru sighed

After unpacking his clothes and puts the dirty clothes on the washing machine, and charging his cell phone, he gets out again to meets Kaoru directly.
“If I remember it correctly, Kaoru’s house is around here somewhere…” Hikaru looks around for the house

And there it is; a house with a NSX and carbon fiber for its body, parked on the garage.
“Kaoru-san” Hikaru called from outside

Let’s just hope that Yue-sensei is teaching right now at the school. Otherwise, he’s in big-big trouble.
“Yes, who is it?” Kaoru asked

“It’s me… White Ghost” Hikaru answered, “You know about me, right?”

“Who wouldn’t? I know everything that’s happened in Honda villages” Kaoru smiled, “I guess that White Ghost from Suzuka came to see me, means only one thing”

“Yes, I want to ask for your help” Hikaru looks dead serious

“I see… I wish that’s easy to convince me” Kaoru smiled, “Show me your skills”

“Excuse me?” Hikaru looks puzzled

“I need you to prove me that you’re a Honda skilled driver” Kaoru adds

“What do you want me to do?” Hikaru asked

“Let’s see… how about driving my NSX at Shin Kanjou and beat some annoying punk with a 350Z?” Kaoru replied, “How’s that?”

“I’ll do it” Hikaru nodded, “Let’s go!”

“Hold your horses, young one” Kaoru smirks, “I’m going to leave some message to Yue first”

Kaoru gets out after he’s writing a message in small paper and grabs his Mugen jacket.
“Kaoru-san… you didn’t write that you’re going somewhere with me, right?” Hikaru asked, “Yue-sensei will kill me if she finds out”

“No worries. I’m just saying that I go somewhere looking for fresh air after a tiring work” Kaoru replied, “Let’s go!”

At Shin Kanjou, Hikaru drives the NSX very slow. It looks like he didn’t have any intention to pushes the car too much. After all, it does not belong to him.
“What is it? Just step on the gas” Kaoru said as he smiled

Hikaru increases his pace. When he does, the exhaust spits some fire and loud bang sound and the car accelerate forward faster.

Honda NSX type-R even though this car’s body 100% made from pure dry carbon fiber, Hikaru still has a hard time to control it as he likes. This car doesn’t have any power steering, and that makes it very heavy when turned.
“Kaoru-san, this car is…” Hikaru grabs the steering wheel hard

“You noticed, huh?” Kaoru smiled, “Yes, if you feel the steering is hard, you now started to drive this car. This is what I feel when I race against you a few weeks ago”

Hikaru enters the tunnel carefully. He begins to feel something else as well.
“This car is really hard to control” Hikaru nodded

“Can you feel the power is pushing you forward?” Kaoru asked, “You’ll get used to it. The more skill you have, the faster you can go… this car is a monster that I’ve created”

Out from the tunnel, Hikaru saw the car which Kaoru talks about; silver 350Z with Veilside body kit. The car is cruising with constant speed at Shiodome junction. It looks like the driver searches for a race as well… or rather he’s waiting for this NSX all along.
“That’s him” Kaoru said, “Follow him to Shiodome”

Hikaru turns to the Shiodome junction and gets closer to the Z.
“You know what you have to do” Kaoru said, “Let’s make him a loser by leaving him at Wangan”

“I’ll do my best” Hikaru nodded, “Here I go!”

Hikaru tilts the high beam switches for a couple of times, and shift down to accelerate forward and the 350Z follows. Overtaking one another and avoiding the traffic is unavoidable. Hikaru who’s not used to the NSX handling is having a very hard time concentrating between avoiding the traffic and overtakes the 350Z.
“Uh-oh” Kaoru smiled as he looked at Hikaru’s facial expression, “If this keeps up, you’ll definitely lose”

“I know, I know!” Hikaru looks frustrated, “This car is heavy and I can't concentrate!”

“… Find the way to control this beast easily” said Kaoru as he stares at the 350Z

Hikaru realizes something when he race against Kaoru few weeks ago. When he asked Yue-sensei to get into his car, he holds the steering wheel with one hand.
“I remember what you do” Hikaru smirks, “I’m going to try it now”

Hikaru does the same. He puts his left hand on the shifter and his right hand on the steering wheel.
“That’s it” Kaoru smiled, “You did remember what I do”

Hikaru shifts down and accelerates more. He drafted behind the 350Z and overtakes it one more time.
“I get it” Hikaru thought, “I guess you set the front suspension a bit loose. This car has better handling in high speeds”

Hikaru shifts up, and floor the car more. He feels more confident with his way in handling the car. He leaves the 350Z behind him to eats the dust.
“Try to maneuver the car by overtaking the traffic” Kaoru points some cars in front of them

“I’ll try” Hikaru replied

Hikaru does what he’s told. He slips past one car to the next with no problem.
“I see that you already got it. You leave him before we even get to Wangan” Kaoru nodded, “Get off at Daikoku junction, and show me your car”

Hikaru exits at Daikoku junction and heads back. He succeeded in impressing Kaoru with his skill on taming the Carbon NSX. He immediately brings Kaoru along to his new base of operation.
“So you put your car around here” Kaoru said, “Garage number seven, huh?”

“Yes, I get this garage with a cheap price” Hikaru nodded, “And there she is”

Kaoru is surprised when he sees the car; it’s a stock S2000. That’s not the one he heard about.
“This is not the same as what I heard in Suzuka” Kaoru replied, “I thought you already modified it before”

“No, that is the Mugen AP2 car which my uncle uses as display car at the showroom” Hikaru scratches his head, “I buy this one stock and new… I started to drive it few days ago, and accumulate one hundred kilometers on it”

“I see” Kaoru rubs his chin, “Modifying new car is risky… I need you to do the driving more until 5,000 kilos, and in the meantime, let us think what we will do with this car”

Kaoru drives him back to his house, and there is still no sign of Seno around.
“Kaoru-san… I trust you’ll keep quiet about this project” Hikaru sounded very serious, “I’m going back to the street but I want to be a shadow driver like the Black Phantom. That’s why; please don’t tell anyone about this”

“I’ll keep my mouth shut” Kaoru zips his mouth, “See you around, kid”

Hikaru gets back to the house and get some sleep. At four P.M. he wakes up to go works part time. Nothing seems to be out of ordinary.
“My body feels fresh, so now it’s time to work” Hikaru gets up from his bed, “I better asks Gonsuke about homework as well”

Hikaru grabs his white blue jacket and his sling bag and go to work. On the way, he meets up with Yuki, who’s just finished Kendo training.
“…” Hikaru avoids to be seen, and hides behind a tree

“Umu?” Yuki realizes that someone is watching her

“…” Hikaru doesn’t give any reply

“Maybe just my imaginations” Yuki smiled, “I better go home now and get the decorating paper”

Yuki gets into her Alphard and off she goes. Why Hikaru did avoid her like that? He didn’t do something bad to her, did he?

“Well, I can't afford myself being seen” Hikaru said, “Please understand; I’m trying to forget my feelings toward her here”

Okay then, so Hikaru continues on walking to get to the restaurant. Now he meets Gonsuke on the way, who is the one he needs to see.
“Gon” Hikaru said, “Where are you going? You’re not working part time?”

“No, I’m just about to go back to school” Gonsuke said, “The manager said it’s okay if we prepare ourselves for the school festival”

“Prepare ourselves for school festival… what are you saying?” Hikaru asked with confused look on his face

“You, Steve, Clark, and Souya is appointed to follow the musical festival, it is tomorrow” Gonsuke pats Hikaru’s shoulder, “Good luck, man…”

“What the hell! Why didn’t anybody tell me about it?” Hikaru slaps his forehead

“We tried to call you for these few days” Gonsuke scratches his head, “But no luck, we can't get through to you”

“Shit! Let’s get back to school” Hikaru runs away

“Wait for me!” Gonsuke follows

At the school, everyone is busy. It looks like Gonsuke is right; it’s going to be held tomorrow.
“Where are Souya, Steve, and Clark?” Hikaru asked

“They are at the auditorium” Gonsuke said, “Good luck”

Hikaru runs off to the auditorium immediately. Steve, Clark, and Souya are already waiting at the stage for him to begin the practice.
“You’re late!” Steve said, “Let’s just get this over with!”

“I just arrive here, and I have this mess already!” Hikaru bawled, “Sorry I’m late!”

“Come one, stop complaining” Clark said, “Let’s begin!”

“What will we sing?” Souya asked, “Let’s differentiate the practice with the show”

“If we win, we have to get another song to sing” Clark added

“I will always go with L’Arc for the starters” Hikaru said, “Let’s just sing what we know best; Ready, Steady, Go!”

“Fine, let’s go!” Steve said as he sits down at the back

Steve will hold drum as his weapon, while Souya with bass and backup vocal, and Clark with electric guitar. Hikaru will be the lead vocal and also plays electric guitar.
“One… Two… Three!” Hikaru said, “Are you ready?”


READY STEADY CAN'T HOLD ME BACK

READY STEADY NEVER LOOK BACK
LET'S GET STARTED READY STEADY GO

READY STEADY GO

While the boys are practicing with the music, Jessie, Sarah and Yuuri are also at the auditorium to talk about the event they’re holding.
“What do you think? Is the place good enough for the events?” Jessie asked

“I think it’s fine already” Sarah nodded as she turns her attention to her boyfriend; Clark

“Jeez, stop staring at them” Jessie smiled, “They’ll definitely melt!”

“Sorry, I’m late girls” Yuki said as she runs off towards them, “Hikaru is back already?”

“Yes, he just got here and singing this song” Yuuri replied, “Aaah… Souya is so cool with that bass guitar”

“So is Clark” Sarah adds while she’s smiling

“And Hikaru…” Yuki thought, “He’s so shiny in that white getup… they’ll definitely win the music festival”

AAAAH, PLEASE… TRUST ME

“Whoooo!” Clark shouts, “Let’s do that again!”

“What! Isn’t enough with that already?” Steve said, “Let’s try something else”

“I’ve had enough…” Hikaru sighed, “I’m so damn thirsty, singing at that high tone”

Hikaru sits down at the edge and breathes heavily. He’s sweating hard from all that running, plus his hair is all messed up.
“Oh my god… I almost forgot!” Yuki slaps her forehead, “Girls, we need to help the guys outside too”

“Shit! Let’s go then!” Jessie replied as they run off

“What’s up, Hikaru? Want to sing another song?” Clark grins, “Let’s try Suneohair’s Split”

“Nah, I guess that’s enough” Hikaru said, “What will we sing for tomorrow?”

“Let’s just go with L’Arc again” Souya replied, “It’s easier to play”

“No, let’s just sing something else!” Clark argued

“Hey, just go with L’Arc!” Souya replied

Both of them argued and it looks like there’s no end to this. Steve steps up, and smacks both of their heads.

BUAG! BUAG!

“Ouch!” said Souya and Clark at the same time

“Quit dawdling!” Steve yells, “Let’s just stop for today!”

“Let’s try to sing… L’Arc Stay Away for tomorrow” Hikaru smiled, “And for the finals, if we win that is… we’ll go with Suneohair’s Split. Is that a deal?”

“Sure!” said Souya and Clark at the same time

“Both of you acts like a kid” Sarah giggled, “Welcome back, Hikaru”

“Thanks” Hikaru nodded, “Well, if there is nothing more; I’ll just head back to my house… I’m pretty bushed”

“Okay, see you tomorrow… and don’t be late!” Souya reminds him

Hikaru lifts his hand to show him he’s got it. He steps outside and finds Yuki is working with the others. She tells the other girls what to do, how to do it correctly, and what did they do wrong. She acts like a boss to her employee. Hikaru sneaks behind the empty stands, to avoid being seen. Yamada, Iwami, and Gonsuke is already become victims to be labors for her work.

Hikaru gets back to the secret garage again to drive around his S2000. Kaoru is waiting at the garage for some reason.
“Hey, kid” Kaoru said, “Listen… can you entrust your car with me? My garage has a dyno machine and it’ll be like a treadmill for you car”

“Oh, so you want to bring it to your shop, and let it run by its own?” Hikaru asked, “Okay, let’s go”

Hikaru opens the garage and hops on to the car. Kaoru follows him so he can direct him to the garage.
“I’m so glad that you trust me with your car” Kaoru smiled, “Let’s go… there is no time to waste!”

Hikaru drives his car to the place Kaoru’s pointed. The place is basically a big warehouse at the centre of the district. Inside it, there is a lot of worker, who modifies a lot of Honda cars.
“Well… give me the keys” Kaoru said, “Come back in another two days, and the car will be at exactly 5,000 KM… I won't let my workers ride it, so I’m going to keep it with me always… thank you for trusting us with your car”

“No problem” Hikaru smirks, “Well, see you in two days”

One problem is solved, and comes the next one. What will he do with his car when it reached 5,000 KM? But he thinks that is not yet to be discussed. He needs to concentrate on the school festival for awhile. Hikaru gets back to the school to see if there is anything else to be helped with.
“I thought he goes back home already?” Yuki whispers to Jessie when she saw Hikaru is at the school

“What’s wrong?” Jessie smiled, “He’s not going to bite”

“Yes, but he’s so annoying” Yuki replies, “He didn’t do anything to help. Ask him to get this upstairs and help the others with the work!”

“Hikaru, over here” said Jessie from afar, “Hikaru, please bring this upstairs… Thank you”

“Okay…” Hikaru nodded, “Where’s Steve and the others?”

“Oh, Steve is inspecting his new Evo X… he’s at the back, just see him after you’re done, okay?” Jessie smiled, “Thanks for the trouble”

“Get going already!” Yuki added, “Be helpful once in awhile, lazy boy”

“Alright, alright” Hikaru replied, “Who is she anyway? Acting bossy likes that…”

“What was that?” Yuki asks back, “If you have something to say to me, say it to me directly”

“Nothing, ma’am” Hikaru replied

“Why don’t you help the guys upstairs to with the decoration since you at it?” Yuki said

“Anything you want, madam” Hikaru replies again

After giving the decoration paper to upstairs and help the guys upstairs, Hikaru runs to see Steve’s brand new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X at the parking lot.
“Wow… it’s so cool!” Hikaru said excitedly, “Is this thing fast?”

“Umm… yes” Steve replied, “You can say that”

“How did you get this one? Its right hand and you’re in NYC” Souya asked

“Well, with the right amount of money, you can get whatever car you want” Steve replied, “I’ll test the top speed later at Wangan”

“By the way, have you heard the rumors? They say there is a White Ghost at Suzuka” Iwami asked, “Did you hear that, Hikaru?”

“Now that you mention it, I did! My uncle told me about the story” Hikaru nodded

“What did he say?” Gonsuke asks with full enthusiast

“Well… he said that the White Ghost showed the punk driver from Tokyo with V35 at Suzuka circuit. He also said that the White Ghost drives a Mugen AP2” Hikaru added, “That’s all what he told me”

“I see” Tarou nodded, “I guess your uncle doesn’t know much either”

“Mugen AP2… it has N.A. tuning stage three” Gonsuke said, “The N.A. tuning is hazardous to the engine. The compression is too high, and might cause the engine to explode”

“What the heck! If he comes here, we’ll just bash him! Isn’t that right?” Clark said

“That’s the spirit!” Hikaru replied, “Good luck!”

“Umu? There you are! Help us carry this to the auditorium!” said Yuki

“…” Hikaru smiled bitterly, “Okay, you heard the lady…”

“Please, guys” Jessie said, “It’s very heavy if we carry it ourselves”

All of them back to help the others for decorating the class and the auditorium. Day turns to night as the time goes. All of them are exhausted, and tired; especially Hikaru.
“Damn! Something is wrong with me… I couldn’t let myself to be tired for doing simple jobs like this!” Hikaru stretch his neck, “Is there something else that’s do-able?”

“What do you mean? Most of the jobs are done by you!” Steve slaps Hikaru’s shoulder, “Damn, so wet from sweat!”

“Guys, I bought you some lime squash” Yuki said, “I made them myself, and it’ll taste good”

“Thank you” said everyone that picks the glass

“Puaah! This is good!” said Souya, “Sour and energizing!”

“Hm, hm…” Hikaru nodded as he smiled

“Glad you guys liked it” Yuki replied as she smiled, “Oh, here is some snack Jessie made”

Yuki gives them a pan filled with a lot of taco chips.
“Jessie is so great with Spanish food” Yuki said, “I will need to learn some recipes from you as well”

“Well… I better get back now” Hikaru stands up and grab his jacket and his bag

“Thanks for your hard work!” Tarou said

“Don’t be late for tomorrow!” Souya adds

Hikaru lifts his hand to show he understands. Everyone watch him from the back as he starts to disappear to the night.
“Good thing he’s cooperative kind of guy” Yuki smiled, “We wouldn’t finish all of this if it wasn’t for his help”

“Yes, asking for teacher’s help is also a suicide idea, in my opinion” Rika nodded

“I’m just glad that he can persuade them” Ayase added, “I thought we are going to die for sure!”

“So, Yuki… what did you say about him again?” Marie giggled

“Okay, okay… I was wrong. He’s a nice person” Yuki bites her lips

“Please don’t judge a book by its cover next time” Yuuri smiled

“Yes, you’re jumping to the conclusion too fast” Sako adds

“I know … I’m sorry” Yuki grinned

“Well… at least he’s back safe and sound” Clark said, “But it’s too bad that he decided to leave the streets”

“That’s right” Gonsuke adds, “It’s a good thing that you decided to help us out, Steve”

“No problem” Steve replied, “I don’t have anything better to do anyway”

Hikaru smiled because he’s happy that no one suspects him as the White Ghost. Now he can works peacefully on his car’s performance.
“That’s so stupid of them” Hikaru smiled, “Well… I guess the next step is to think what kind of parts I will use”

Hikaru arrives home and Seno is already waiting for him.
“So how is in there?” Seno asked, “Is it fun?”

“Well… not really. All I did was to help on with the chores” Hikaru smirks, “I’m going to get some sleep”

“Sure thing. You have a school festival tomorrow, right? Get some rest; you need it” Seno adds, “See you tomorrow”

Hikaru is still bothered by the fact that Yuki told him to do this and that. She’s so bossy, and wants everything to be perfectly as she told.
“Damn it!” Hikaru bawled, “I must forget these stupid feelings as soon as I can”

Hikaru stares at the ceiling of his room and close his eyes slowly. He still can remember how tired he was, and what did he do all day today.
“Yuki…” Hikaru thought

Tomorrow morning, the school festival is starting. Everyone gathers around to enjoy this festival the school brought. Food stands, sports activities event, marching band; everything is filled with people.

At the volleyball field, Hikaru, Steve, Souya, and Clark are getting ready for the musical event. Yes; the musical event will be held at the volleyball field. Everyone shows one same expression in their faces; panic. Looks like they are nervous… the representative from other class is singing right now. Hikaru and the others are waiting for their turn.
“Damn! I don’t think that the people who are watching will be this many!” Steve said

“My hands and feet are trembling” Souya grits his teeth

“My hands are freezing!” Clark blows his hands to warm it up

“…” Hikaru is busy waxing his hair

“Hikaru, what are you doing?” Clark asked, “Don’t you feel nervous?”

“I am!” Hikaru said, “That’s why I’m waxing my hair to forget that I’m nervous!”

Meanwhile at the auditorium, Yuki is competing with upper classmen in Kendo tournament.
“…” Yuki stares at her opponent, “Hiaaah!”

PLAK! PLAK! PLAK!

“Game set!” said the referee, “The winner is Amano!”

Everyone who’s watching is very amazed. Yuki beat the captain of kendo club, with no problem at all.
“Good match, Amano” said the upper classman

“You too, senpai” Yuki replied

On the other side of the gym, dancing competition is also held. Jessie and her fellow friends are ruling the competition with crazy moves and sexy dance.
“Winner team; All Style Dancers!” said the referee

After winning, Jessie and her team are going to get some rest before they move to another round. Yuki in the other hand, is already wins the tournament.
“How about your match goes, Yuki?” Jessie asked, “Dominating?”

“Of course” Yuki nodded as she wipes her sweat, “Let’s call Sarah and join the others watching the boys singing”

“No need” Sarah said, “I’m already here… congrats, Yuki”

“Thank you…” Yuki replied, “Let’s go then”

“Girls, I’m going to go to volleyball field for awhile to watch our class singing band” Jessie said, “Catch you later”

At the volleyball field, Satoshi with Yayoi, Kenjou with Natsume is watching the music festival along with Gonsuke, Yamada, Iwami, and Tarou. All of them are also with their girlfriends.
“Yuki, over here!” said Rika

Rika has chosen a nice spot. She and the others are sitting under big tree that grows in the side of the field.
“Thank you” Yuki said as she sits down

“Let me introduce you to our seniors in street racing world” Tarou said, “This here is Satoshi and Yayoi; his wife. And that is Kenjou with his fiancé; Natsume”

“This is our friend Sarah, Yuki, and Jessie” Rika added

“Pleased to meet you” Yayoi nodded

“Same here” Yuki replied, “You’re the doctor that took care of Hikaru when he’s in hospital, right?”

Seno has also come to see his brother in the music festival. Yuki, who’s inviting her, is calling her from afar.
“Seno-san, over here!” said Yuki

“Oh, there they are” Seno smiled

When Seno, Satoshi and Kenjou meets, something different can be seen in their faces and they way they talks.
“It’s been a long time Satoshi, Kenjou” Seno said, “How are you guys doing?”

“Not much…” Satoshi said, “I should’ve know that Hikaru is your little brother”

“You guys knew each other?” Yamada seems surprised

“Let me introduce you to our ex-member; Ichijou Seno… she is one of our teammates who drive a Silver GT-R” Kenjou grins, “Surprising, huh?”

“Thank you” Seno nodded

“She’s what?!” Iwami asked “Then you know who drives the Black Phantom”

“No idea… she said that she gave her car to someone else and I never heard from her since then” Seno spins her head

“Did Hikaru know about you being a street racer?” Gonsuke asks

“No… I don’t want to tell him” Seno answered, “I can't tell him that I was the ex-member of the people who trains him right now”

“…” Jessie and Sarah is amazed to know such story

Yuki can only smile. She knew all along because she’s the inheritor of Black Phantom and also the apprentice of Seno after she retired. Seno is a professional liar indeed… she even asked Kaoru, Satoshi, and Kenjou to keep quiet about it.

Not long after that, Kaoru and Yue-sensei also come to enjoy the show.
“Kaoru-kun…” Seno teased him

“Oh, leader… how are you doing?” Kaoru smirks

“You’re still hanging with him, Yue? I thought that you bored with him already” Seno smiled

“Not for the moment” Yue smiled back, “It’s nice to see you again, Seno”

“Okay, there they are!” Yuki said, “Let’s cheer for them!”

At the stage, Hikaru and the others come out with spiked long hair, white jeans, and white long t-shirt. What are they doing with that kind of looks? Anyway, they are the last class that’s participating in this event.
“I told you this is a bad idea” Steve whispers, “I feel so ashamed”

“All of them liked it” Hikaru smiled, “No worries!”

“I don’t know we are handsome enough to be able to attract this many people” Souya smiled

“I feel so alive right now… to be able to stand in front of these people” Clark gritted his teeth

“Okay, guys… you can begin to sing the song you want” said the MC

“Thank you” Hikaru said, “Um, uh… we are from class 2A…”

“He’s so dead nervous” Yuki thought

“Please use your band’s name” MC whispers from the back

“Right, so I was saying we are from… uh…” Hikaru adds

“Okay, we are from Midnight, and we’re going to sing one song from L’Arc~En~Ciel; Stay Away” Souya cuts in

“Three… two… one…” Clark said

Clark begins to play his guitar, and then Hikaru follows with Steve and Souya.

Nukedashita taichi de
Te ni ireta no wa jiyuu
Maybe lucky, maybe lucky
I dare say I'm lucky

Rail no uwa ni zotte
Dokomade yukeru kara
Maybe lucky, maybe lucky
I can say I'm lucky

Yaki mashi no sekai ni wa hikara naikara
Kimi no mirai wa acchi so trying-trying in yourself

Causes stain, stay away
Causes stain, stay away (ooh)

Souya sometimes walks around the stage and Hikaru doesn’t look at his guitar at all, while he’s playing it.

Massara na taiyou wa
Dare ni mo furisosogu
Maybe happy, maybe happy
I dare say I'm happy

Urusaku iwanaide ne
Shisunde shimau kara
Maybe happy, maybe happy
I can say I'm happy

Karamitsuku sekai ni wa unzari na no sa
Kage fumi shitenaide so trying-trying in yourself

Causes stain, stay away
Causes stain, stay away

Right away, oh! Bother me!
Right away...

Causes stain, stay away
Causes stain, stay away (ooh)
Causes stain, stay away
Right away

Ukabu kumo no youni
Dare mo boku wo tsukamenai
Nani mo kamo wo kowashii
Jiyuu no moto ni umareta

After the song is finished, cheers can be heard from anywhere. Either from the school’s windows or from the field itself.
“Phew” Hikaru wheezed, “Sure all of them liked it”

“Yes, we have done well” Souya said

All of them bows to the spectators, and goes to the back of the stage.
“Huff…” Steve sighed, “That’s it!”

“Yes, I don’t know why but I feel very happy” Clark added

“Let’s us wait for the results” Hikaru sits down at the chair and drink a bottle of water

Meanwhile at the field…
“Sure thing all of the people liked it” Seno smiled, “I don’t know he can sing that good”

“Yes… I’m surprised myself” Yuki added, “Well, he’s very talented person. You must be proud”

“Not really” Seno smirks, “He’s a troublesome kid”

“Too bad they didn’t do the dance. I would love to see them dancing” Jessie smirks

“Okay, we have all the results here…” said the MC, “Okay… and the third winner is Rocker from class 3C”

Hikaru and the others in the back are very nervous. Who is the winner of the first place?
“Second place winner is… Gothica from class 1D” said the MC, “And the last one is the first place winner… I bet all of you are very nervous”

“The hell we are!” Steve yelled

“Okay, all of you look impatient. So the winner of the first place is…” the MC opens the envelope, “The first place winner is… Midnight from class 2A! Please go to the stage and play us another song”

“Uh-oh” Hikaru said, “What song to be played?”

“Lets’ stick to the plan…” Clark said, “I’ll do the keyboard now”

“Okay, here we go again!” Steve smiled

All of them go back to the centre of the stage to play another song for the spectators.

“Thank you for the support, and thanks for the first place all of you given to us” Hikaru said, “This time we’ll play Suneohair’s Split”

“Oh, ending song for Honey and Clover season 2…” said the MC, “Please!”

Arifurete iru

“All of them seem to have fun” Yue said, “Good thing our class won”

“That means no homework for summer vacation!” said Rika, “Yeah!”

Kakaekondenda

After receiving the trophy, Hikaru, Steve, Clark, and Souya are taking few pictures.
“Okay…” Hikaru smiled, “We have done well”

“Yes you are” Yuki said as she smiled to all of them, “Yue-sensei can't be happier”

“That means we won’t get summer vacation homework…” Steve said, “Isn’t that right, missy?”

“That’s right” Jessie adds, “Okay, time for me to go back to my competition. See you later”

“Let’s follow her and cheer up for her” Steve said, “She is cheering us up with the others, so let’s return the favor”

“Fine by me” Clark nodded, “What about you, Hikaru?”

“Uh, Yuki is already told me not to refuse…” said Hikaru while he smirks

“I didn’t say anything, jeez!” Yuki seems annoyed

“You didn’t, but your face says otherwise” Hikaru replied, “I guess cheering for her isn’t going to hurt… let’s go then”

“Tell you guys what? I’ll just spoke to Yue-sensei, and she said she’ll accept us to transfer the class!” Ayase said

“Now we are classmate, Gon!” Iwami hugs Gonsuke’s neck

“Ow, ow, ow!” Gonsuke said

“Good thing you guys made it to our class” Steve said

“Yes, welcomes to the territory; thanks to Yuuri and Yue-sensei!” Yamada nodded

“It’s all thanks to Yuuri” Marie said, “If it weren’t for her efforts, we wouldn’t be able to transfer class”

“Thank you, sensei” Sako bows

“Then we can sit together, Souya-kun” Yuuri smiled

“Sure thing” Souya smiled back, “Welcome to our class!”

“Well, I guess that’s good now” Yue-sensei said, “You guys have more motivation to study hard… welcome to class 2A”

K, I've read up to the current RPM and I have to say this story is a really nice read. I like how lately, Hikaru's trying to quit, but we all know he's going to pull a batousaiii and retire only temporarily, and come back, maybe with a newer, better car.

Or you're going to actually finish the story of HSSR, and write a sequel.

Yikes! Somebody is already reading the flow of the story...

Thank you for all the comment, guys... it really makes me glad that people is still reading my story...

I'll update more RPM tonight... hope you enjoy!

RPM 17: The Power of Dreams

Because of Hikaru and the gang’s effort to win all of the school festival events, Yue-sensei didn’t give them any homework for summer vacation.

A day has passed since the school festival. This day is also important for Hikaru, because he’s going to discuss his White Ghost’s modification plan with Kaoru.
“Okay, so what are you going to do now?” Yuki asked, “We have to submit this paper before school is over”

“Sorry if I can't be much of a help” Hikaru scratches his head, “I’m really bad with description writings”

“That’s because you can't describe yourself correctly!” Yuki sounds mad, “I can't believe I pick you to be my partner for this!”

“…” Hikaru only lowers his head and bites his lips. He really feels disappointed.

“Fine, I’ll finish this myself” Yuki sighed, “I can't believe how useless you are. You’re not going to hitch the marks with my writings. Do it on your own…”

Hikaru nodded. They are the only one who’s left in the school. Even though Hikaru is great student, he also has a weakness; he can't write about something so easily.
“Hikaru, have you done your writings?” Yue-sensei asked

“Not yet, sensei” Hikaru answered, “I’m going to do it myself, Yuki can do it for herself”

“Okay then… you can bring it for your home assignment” Yue-sensei nodded, “And where is yours, Yuki?”

“Here it is, sensei” Yuki said, “Well, I’m going on ahead”

Yuki goes home and leaves Hikaru alone in the class. Hikaru packs everything he has and goes back home as well. Yuki is waiting for him at the school gate for some reason.
“Hikaru, I want to tell you that you are a good student… you just lack of creativity” Yuki said, “Please don’t be offended if I say nasty things to you… I’m a very demanding person”

“Don’t worry…” Hikaru replied flatly, “I ‘m a useless person after all. See you later”

“…” Yuki doesn’t give any reply. She feels bad about saying those things to Hikaru.

Hikaru walks toward the gate and he goes straight to Kaoru’s garage. He’s too excited to starts discussing about his car’s modification.
“I’ve been expecting you…” Kaoru said, “Let’s go to my office”

“Okay” Hikaru smiled, “Kaoru-san… I want my car to be as fast as Black Phantom’s”

“First thing of all, you need to change the gear ratio. We need the taller ones… and throwing some forced induction is not going to hurt” Kaoru replied, “What about supercharger?”

“Anything you advises me to get” Hikaru said, “Is the supercharger going to be enough?”

“Horsepower isn’t everything here” Kaoru replied, “I can do something good for your S2000… just trust me with it”

Kaoru and Hikaru go to the office to talks more. Kaoru is already preparing every part for the car.
“What’s this?” Hikaru asked when he looks at all the parts

“This is a Vortech supercharger along with the blow off valve, fuel rail, and fuel pressure regulator” Kaoru replied, “It cost me about $60,000… pretty neat, huh?”

“Is this the parts that’ll go in my car?” Hikaru asked

“I’ll have this installed right now” Kaoru said, “Want to help?”

“Sure!” Hikaru nodded happily

“Call your sister, and told her that you’re going to stay overnight to study” Kaoru smiled, “I’ll call the guys to help as well”

Hikaru did what he’s told. He told Seno that he’s going to stay overnight and study. Seno believed, so that leaves him no problem.
“Okay, my sister allows me to stay” Hikaru said as he takes off his shirt, “Let’s do this!”

Kaoru calls his best mechanic to put all the parts to the car. He estimated that this car will be ready in three days.
“I’ll take five men with me to handle the engine” Kaoru said, “My friends in Mugen did some neat modifications on it! They give this engine N.A. tuning stage two!”

“What about the compression and the CC?” Hikaru asks back

“No worries, I told them to keep the piston in low compression… and don’t worry about the cylinder capacity; it stays the same” Kaoru nodded, “Alright, men… let’s begin!”

Suddenly, Satoshi and Kenjou are coming to get their Honda cars checked up. They are so surprised to see Hikaru with Kaoru to work on another car.
“Hikaru… what are you guys doing?” Satoshi asked

“And what’s with that white S2000?” Kenjou adds

“…” Kaoru didn’t give any reply

“Let’s face it; this is not the worst thing you guys caught me doing” Hikaru smirks, “You know about the Suzuka White Ghost rumor? I am the White Ghost”

“And you want to build this car secretly?” Satoshi scratches his head, “If that’s no problem with you, I want to help too”

“Yes, me too” Kenjou adds, “As fellow Honda driver, we will help as much as we can”

“No problem! I can use with some more help… isn’t that right, Kaoru-san?” Hikaru looks at Kaoru

“Looks like this is fate…” Kaoru smiled, “The Honda guys is reunited again to work one car to be the best”

Thus it begins; the White Ghost realization project. Hikaru is fortunate to have another friend as a good mechanic.

After the school, Hikaru always spend his time helping with the tuning. He told the manager about everything. He also asks the manager to stays quiet about it and he wants to stop working for awhile. Luckily, the manager agrees to keep quiet and gives his permission.

Steve and the others didn’t know anything. They are so busy with their girlfriends to notice anything unusual… what? Steve also has a girlfriend?
Yes, she is Jessie (isn’t that obvious?). He confesses his love after the dancing tournament. They are a pretty freaky couple, though. And since Yuki and Hikaru didn’t know each others too well, she thinks it is normal for him that his entire friend hangs without him.

Two days later outside of Kaoru’s garage, the white S2000 is idling. Even though most of modification parts are equipped on the car, it still has stocks look on it. The rims are standard, no body kit is equipped, no GT-Wing, the brakes are normal- everything looks stock, except for carbon fiber hood, interior and performance.

Inside the white car, three red Defi Racer gauges are lined up at the pillar A on the right. Kaoru specifically made the housing for the gauges with carbon fiber. He also treats the strut tower bar with carbon fiber coating to increase rigidity on top speed. The driver’s dashboard panels are also equipped with carbon fiber. Add it with Mugen S1-R black/red Hikaru used and Takata four point harnesses, and black titanium Mugen stick shift, made this car looks like a hardcore race car.
“Most of the parts are Mugen…” Kaoru smiled, “Except for the tower bar, radiator hose, radiator stay, flywheel, clutch slave hose, release bearing, engine mount ring, engine torque damper, engine transmission mounting, injector set”

“Yes… also cross beam bar, strut tower bar, oil catch tank kit, battery tray is Spoon” Hikaru nods, “I know most of it because I helped in installing it”

“The gear ratio is a custom made part by Mugen” Kaoru said, “We should try it tomorrow, to see if it fits the car for high speeds cruising”

“The E.C.U. unit is F-Con V-Pro once again, and the exhaust is HKS Hi-power dual exhaust” Satoshi said, “I heard from Kojiro that he use the E.C.U. for your GT-R”

“Yes, he did used it for the car” Hikaru nodded

“I replaced the suspension with Tein” Kenjou said, “Exhaust manifold, radiator, metal clutch disc, clutch cover, 2 way LSD, competition brake pads, thermo switch, low temp thermostat, compressor belt, reserve tank cover, stabilizer, and bushings; it’s all Mugen”

“Thank God that your friend is working at Mugen parts production line, Kaoru-san” Hikaru smirks, “I can get the parts with half the price”

“No problem… we must get this car to Motegi tomorrow, and upgrade the brakes and rotors” Kaoru added, “You can go home now…”

“Sorry for the trouble” Hikaru said

“Hikaru, you should avoid getting into trouble for awhile” Satoshi said, “We still need to adjust the settings in your car”

“Yes, the weight ratio is messed up, the E.C.U is tuned in a hurry, the suspension is also not adjusted yet” Kaoru said, “Maybe we should put an audio to acts as ballast for the rear part”

“Good idea… I’ll surf the web to find more info” Hikaru said

“No need to rush” Satoshi said, “I have a friend that works as audio tuner. I’ll ask him about the parts that should be used in your car”

“Wow… you guys do too many things for me” Hikaru said, “I don’t know what to say”

“By the way, what is that spark plug you use? It’s not Spoon or HKS” Kenjou asked

“The spark plug is called PulStar… new technology in the spark plug industry” Hikaru smirks, “You should use it too for your car… open PesWiki to find out more”

“PulStar. Where did I hear about it before?” Satoshi asked, “Oh yeah! Clark is the first one who uses it for his Lotus”

“Yes, it’s basically a normal spark plug with better ignition timing and durability” Hikaru explains, “It’s quite expensive… each of the plug takes about $25…”

“What the hell! It’s that expensive.” Kenjou looks surprised

“Yes, but there’s three advantages if you used it” Hikaru added, “You won't have to change it often, the horsepower increase is better than if you use after market spark plugs, and the most important is; the fuel economy increase from ten to twenty percent!”

“Whew” Kaoru wheezed, “I have to use it for my car also… I’ll order it more and keep it on stock here”

“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow then” Hikaru gets into the car and drives off

“See you tomorrow” Satoshi replied

Hikaru drives the car carefully to avoid being seen. The White Ghost is not yet ready, because the settings are not done yet.
“The boost feels great! I can accelerate very well from any kind of situation” Hikaru thought, “I can beat the Black Phantom with this car… just wait you guys”

After Hikaru parks his car at secret garage, he gets back home like nothing interesting is happening.
“Whew…” Seno wheezed, “What are you doing, playing basketball all that long?”

“Sorry, I get carried away and forget the time” Hikaru smirks, “I’m so tired… after I take the bath, I want to get some sleep”

“Anything interesting happens?” Seno asked

“Tomorrow is Saturday, so Kenjou, Satoshi, and Kaoru are inviting me to go to Honda’s museum tomorrow. It’s a good material for my description writings” Hikaru answered, “Do you want to come along?”

“Nope… I have an appointment to shop with Yuki” Seno replied, “You still work on the description writings?”

“I do” Hikaru nodded, “I’m really bothered by it”

After taking a bath, Hikaru immediately take a rest. He does it to avoid unnecessary question from his sister. But before he asleep, Hikaru text Kaoru a message regarding his car; he wants to buy an OEM S2000 hard top.

Meanwhile, at Kenjou’s house…
“Kenjou, it’s me” said a man from the phone

“Oh, it’s Tamada! What’s up? How’re you doing?” Kenjou asks

“I’m fine thank you…” the man replied, “Listen; I have something for your S2000”

“Wait… didn’t you know I change my car?” Kenjou asks again, “I’m going to married next week, and I change my car for it”

“No one told me about it…” Tamada said, “Congratulations, Kenjou…”

“What do you have for S2000 anyway?” Kenjou asks

“It’s Mugen prototype wide body kit. They are the 2008 line up” Tamada answered

“You know what? Just bring it to Motegi tomorrow at twelve o’clock… I have someone you’ll like to meet with” Kenjou said, “He’s White Ghost from Suzuka”

“You mean White Ghost himself?! Are you sure he’s coming to Motegi?” Tamada sounds excited, “I’ll bring my men over too to install the body kit on the spot. I’ll even throws him Bridgestone Potenza RE050 with white GP rims”

“Yes. I knew him very well” Kenjou adds, “See you tomorrow… I’m sure he’ll be thrilled”

And also at Satoshi’s house…
“White Ghost needs help to balance his car” Satoshi said, “Do you have something that’s light enough to be putted at the back of his car?”

“You mean White Ghost from Suzuka? I’d like to meet him” said a man from the phone, “Just bring him and his car to my place to get something good from Alpine!”

“Thank you, Kikuchi” Satoshi replied, “You’re a great help”

Tomorrow morning, Hikaru is up early to go to Kaoru’s garage once again to finish the tuning and installing the hard top and bigger brakes. After takes a bath and geared up, he’s ready to go.
“Sis, I’m going to the Kaoru’s house now!” said Hikaru

“Be careful on the way” Seno said

After Hikaru left, Seno is prepared to leave as well.

“Okay, time to go to Yuki’s house and go to Kojiro’s place” Seno thought

Hikaru gets his car and goes to Kaoru’s garage to get the brakes installed along with the hard top.
“Set the brakes to harder front” Kaoru said to one of his mechanics

“Yes sir” replied the mechanic

“Here is the money for all of the parts and the hard top” Hikaru hands over some of the money to Kaoru

“Pleasure doing business” Kaoru nods, “Get this ready before eight o’clock, men!”

Kaoru’s mechanic works faster. After completely change the calipers with Brembo and rotors with Brembo ventilated, cross-drilled and slotted rotors, Satoshi and Kenjou arrived to go to Motegi.
“Ready? How are the brakes doing?” Satoshi asked

“I put six in the front, and four in the back. It’s also has ventilated, cross-drilled and slotted rotors. The brake pads and the brake fluid with Mugen” Kaoru answered, “Are you guys ready?

“We’re ready…” said Kenjou, “Hikaru, there is a friend of mine that likes to meet you. He’s coming to Motegi at twelve… he’s bringing you a Mugen prototype wide body kits”

“Yikes! Free parts again!” Hikaru sounds excited, “I also want to meet the guy!”

“My friend also says that he wants to meet you. Please follow me to the audio shop to pick some decent audio for ballast” Satoshi added

“Sir, the hard top is installed” said one of the mechanics, “You are ready to go”

“That was quick… thank you for the hard work” Kaoru said, “Tell the secretary; if madam called and she’s looking for me, tell her that I go to Motegi for some more tuning”

“Yes sir” said the mechanic again

“You brought your laptop along, right? Let’s go!” Satoshi said

Meanwhile at Kojiro’s place, Seno and Yuki are coming to take a look at the rebirth of Sky Captain. Seno wears Nismo black long t-shirt and short skirts accompanied with high boots, while Yuki wears short jeans and high boots, accompanied with sleeveless t-shirt and Nismo jacket. Both of the girls have nice and smooth legs with white soft skins.
“Looks like that’s my brother’s jacket” Seno said

“It is” Yuki replied, “He gives it to me… there is the Sky Captain”

“The Sky Captain is as good as new” Kojiro smiled, “She’s ready to take care of some little business from Suzuka”

“Yes, the White Ghost rumor is very disturbing” Yuki said

“Pleased to meet you… you took care of my brother once, so please take care of me from now on” Seno whispered to her GT-R

Hikaru and the others are almost at Motegi. As you all know; Motegi is a circuit made by Honda to test most of its cars line up. Honda museum is also located there.

After arriving there, they are using the first ring. They need the high speed section to test the car’s performance.
“Okay, let’s start driving fast around the circuit here” Satoshi said, “We’ll follow you from behind to see what is wrong with your car”

“Sure” Hikaru starts to drive off

Satoshi, Kenjou, and Kaoru will follow him with their own car to figure out the best settings for the car.
“Let’s see… First of all, there is too much disturbance on the movement” Kenjou said, “I’ll have to stiffen the front suspension”

“The movement on the third gear is sluggish… fuel mapping check is in order” Satoshi thought

“Gear ratio is better than I expected. He can hit… 260 easily on fifth gear!” Kaoru laughs, “Okay, Hikaru… let’s pit in”

Hikaru drives to the pit lane to get all the settings he needs. Satoshi brought his laptop with him.
“Tell me this; how do you feel about the third gear acceleration?” Satoshi asked

“The movement is sluggish” Hikaru answered, “Looks like the supply is limited”

“I’ll re-map the E.C.U. now” Satoshi opens his laptop and plug it to the E.C.U.

“What about the suspension?” Kenjou asked, “Is the rear always wants to move forward?”

“Not really… the rear stiffness level is enough” Hikaru rubs his chin, “But the problem comes in the front; when going at high speeds, the front part is start to vibrate”

“I’ll stiffen the front suspension now” Kenjou said, “What about the sideways waving?”

“No problem. On any speed, I can sway the car easily” Hikaru replied

“I guess the stabilizer is working well” Kenjou said

“Any problems with the clutch engagement? What about the brakes?” Kaoru asked

“The brake is fine, and so is the clutch. Thanks to the flywheel, the engagement is smooth as Yuki’s skin” Hikaru answered

“Yuki’s skin?” Kaoru asked, “What are you talking about?”

“No, nothing” Hikaru smirks, “I’m just talking to myself”

“Hey, Hikaru…” Satoshi said, “The mapping is done”

“Same here!” Kenjou adds, “Suspension is ready!”

“Then let’s us test the performance and the handling” Kaoru nods, “Get in and drive around once again”

Hikaru does what he’s told. He gets inside the car, and drive around the circuit.
“Okay… let’s do this, Silmeria” Hikaru said

“Sure thing” Silmeria replied

“Our tuning is the greatest” Kaoru said, “Look; he clocked 300 KM/H easily on sixth gear”

“Did it enough to catch the Black Phantom?” Kenjou rubs his chin, “Black Phantom can withstand 320 KM/H easily”

“Well, I don’t know about that” Satoshi sighed, “We have to take it to Wangan to find out more. This circuit is too short for testing top speed”

Hikaru runs the car smoothly around the track once again to test the settings. The handling, the performance; everything is as he desired. Satisfied with the result, he drives back to the pit.

At the pit lane, Satoshi, Kenjou, and Kaoru are talking with a couple of men with Mugen jackets. He gets out from the car and opens the hood to see the engine bay. After that he immediately turns his attention to the tires.
“There he is” Satoshi said to the man

“He is the White Ghost?! I can't believe he’s so young!” the man replied, “How old is he?”

“He’s eighteen” Kenjou added, “He’s the brother of our old friend; Seno”

“Seno’s brother…?” the man sounded surprised

Hikaru is busy staring at the tires and rubbing it out to feel the compound. The tires are as smooth as high class leather. Burning rubber can be smelled in the air.
“Damn… these tires just don’t cut it” Hikaru thought

“What’s wrong with the tires?” a man asks behind him

“Looks like they are through…” Hikaru answered

“Excuse me… I’m Tsukishiro Tamada” the man introduces himself, “How are you doing, White Ghost?”

“I’m fine… nice to meet you” Hikaru bows, “You are friends of Kenjou?”

“Yes I am” Tamada nodded, “I came here to give you prototype wide body kit for S2000, made by us”

“What did it look like?” Hikaru asks again

“You have to see it for yourself” Tamada smiled, “Please get your car inside one of the paddock”

Hikaru gets back to his car and move it to the nearest paddock. At least there are ten mechanics are coming out from the van he brought with him.
“You’re going to change the body kit right on the spot?” Hikaru asked

“Yes, that’s why I brought my most skilled mechanic to help with the installation” Tamada replied, “My driver will take you to the Honda museum. Please, take your time and have a look around”

Hikaru agreed. He gets into the van and goes to the Honda Museum to wait.
“Don’t worry, Hikaru… I’ll keep my eye on your car” said Satoshi

“What is Seno’s intention? Why did she let her little brother be a street racer like she did?” Tamada looks confused, “He’s too young to be able to handle such a beast”

“Who knows? I always known that woman have some kind of plan in her head” Kaoru replied, “Even though she’s sexy and beautiful, she can be a real tricky woman”

“That’s not the way you should talk about someone else… especially if you are already engaged” Kenjou said

“Looks who’s talking?” Tamada hugs Kenjou’s neck, “You’re going to married next week, and all you do is fool around like this!”

“We are currently not on any project here” Satoshi said, “Okay… looks like your men is ready to install the wide body kit”

“Alright, men… this car is one of Honda’s prized possession” Tamada explains, “Let’s make this car takes its place where it belongs; the top!”

Meanwhile at Honda’s museum, Hikaru is strolling around. He’s currently looking at one of Honda’s robot; ASIMO.
“This is ASIMO” Hikaru said when he takes a look, “I can't believe they actually made this kind of thing”

When Hikaru leaves, the robot moved and followed him. Hikaru doesn’t realize that’s he’s being followed by the robot.

Bikes, motorcycles… everything here is created by Mr. Honda’s love for engine. He never gives up his passion and dreams, even though he comes from normal blacksmith family. That fact never gets in his way to be one of the most talented people in Japan.

Hikaru feels ashamed when he read the history of this amazing man. Compared to Mr. Honda, he has more luck on his side. Loving sister with good amount of money to buys him a car, friends who supported him, rivals that cares about him… everything Hikaru has is better than Mr. Honda in his younger days. Both of them loves racing, but Hikaru easily lost his faith and throws away his talents and what he loved the most; cars.

He sighed as he sits down on a wooden chair near the wall.
“… What a wonderful man” Hikaru smirks, “I was hoping that I’ll meet this wonderful man before he dies at least once”

Hikaru realizes that he’s being followed by ASIMO when the robot pats his shoulder.
“What the hell!” Hikaru startled, “When did you get here?!”

The robot con only moves the head to the side; looks like it’s confused.
“You startled me…” Hikaru said, “Please don’t follow me around like that, it’s creepy”

The guys at the circuit took longer than he’s expected. Hikaru looks at his cell phone; it’s almost two o’clock.
“Man… what are they doing?” Hikaru said, “I better looks around some more”

Hikaru decided to looks around some more. After tired looking here and there, he decided to go back to the lounge to get something to drink. When he puts 50 yen into the vending machine, he saw an old man sitting all by himself at the couch.
The man’s age looks around fifties. He wears glasses, and his hair is a bit bald. He also wears full suit, like he’s just arrives back from his office. He’s waiting for someone here.
“Excuse me… who’re you waiting for?” Hikaru asked, “You seemed a bit tired, want something to drink?”

“Ah, yes…” said the man

“Do you prefer a Coca Cola, or just plain orange juice… or green tea?” Hikaru asks again

“I’ll have green tea” the man answers, “Thank you”

Hikaru gives the tea to the man and he sits down at the couch as well. Hikaru sips his Coca Cola when the man sips his green tea.
“Are you waiting for someone?” the man asks him

“Um… Not really, my car is having a major dress up at the paddock” Hikaru answered, “What about you, sir?”

“I’m waiting for someone to pick me up” the man said, “Can you drive a car, son?”

“Yes, I can… why do you ask?” Hikaru looks puzzled

“There is a car parked outside… can you drive it and take me to the nearest bus stop?” the man asked

“Sure… no problem” Hikaru said as he drinks up his Cola

“Great” the man smiled, “Let’s go then”

Hikaru steps outside and gets into the car. The car looks strange in his eyes. He never saw something like that. The car is white colored; just like his S2000, the design is very futuristic, and looks very agile. The headlights are sharp, and so did the taillights. It even has teardrop roof design.
“Sir, what is this car?” Hikaru asked “I never see this kind of car before”

“You kids call it the NSX” said the man, “This car will be produced at year 2010, according to the company. We are testing it out at the Nurburgring right now for final preparations”

“2010 NSX!” Hikaru sounds surprised when he hears the name, “What is it doing here?”

“Son, do you like racing?” said the man suddenly

“I do” Hikaru answered, “Why do you ask?”

“Will you ride this car when it’s available on the market?” the man ask again

“Uh, I don’t know if I can afford this when it’s available…” Hikaru smiled bitterly

“Then saves up your money to buy it” the man said, “There is the bus stop”

Hikaru stops the car at the side of the street. The man steps out from the car and sits at the chairs. Hikaru also gets out from the car and waits for the bus to pick the man up. Not long after they wait, the bus is coming. There are few passengers on the bus… only three people are on it, exactly.
“Okay then… thanks for the lift, son” the man said

“Yes, see you around” Hikaru sways his hand

When the man enters the bus, an old lady greets him; looks like she’s his wife. The other two passengers do the same. Hikaru recognizes the other two passenger; they are his parents.
“Mom! Dad! What are you doing on the bus?” Hikaru looks surprised

“Mr. Honda… this is my son, Hikaru” said his father

“Mr. Honda? You know this old man?” Hikaru asked

“Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Honda is our long time friend” his mother explains, “You met him once when you’re just a baby”

Come to think of it, Hikaru’s parents are working at Honda’s office. While his uncle becomes managing supervisor for Suzuka plant, his parents is working for Honda’s management office.
“When did I? Of course... I was a baby once” Hikaru smiled bitterly

“It’s a pleasure to meet you son… even though in this kind of way” Honda said

“The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Honda” Hikaru smiled

“Hikaru… Hikaru…” said a man’s voice

“Wha?” Hikaru wakes up

He’s just dreaming. When he buys the Cola and sits at the couch, Hikaru fall asleep. Whether he imagining things or he just stepped once again to the netherworld, God knows; he meets Mr. Honda anyway.
“Jeez… are you sleepy, kid?” Satoshi smiled

“I was waiting with this old man…” Hikaru babble

“There is no old man around here…” Kaoru replied, “Come on… your car is ready”

“But I’m sure I’m waiting with this old man” Hikaru said

“There is no one here!” Kenjou said, “The place is closed for maintenance”

“…” Hikaru sighed, “My car is ready?”

“It is outside” Kaoru said, “Come on”

When Kaoru, Kenjou, and Satoshi steps outside, he saw ASIMO is carrying a can of green tea from the desk. Whose is it?
“…” Hikaru smiled when he see ASIMO brought the can, “Yes… the pleasure is all mine, Mr. Honda”

Hikaru followed them outside and see the fully transformational car. Wide body kit, with side air gills, and Mugen badge in the front grille and at the back. They also added Mugen SS rear wing kit, along with white forged GP rims wrapped with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position UNI-T.
“Whew” Hikaru wheezed, “Its way cool. Look at the ground! They even equipped the underbody aerodynamics!”

“Thanks to Tamada, this car is looking cooler than before” said Kenjou

“Where is Tamada-san?” Hikaru asked

“He goes back already” Kaoru said, “Let us go back as well”

Hikaru still needs to bring his car to the Alpine audio shop to get the ballast for the rear part because he wants to maintain the 50-50 weight distribution.
“This here is the White Ghost” said Satoshi, “Hikaru, this is my friend Makoto Kikuchi”

“Nice to meet you” Hikaru bows

“We have prepared the best audio parts for you” Kikuchi said, “We’re going to install the Type-X packages to you car”

“Thank you very much” Hikaru bows again

“No need to feel grateful” Kikuchi replied, “This is just my way to support young and talented drivers like you. Please get your car in another two days”

I personally welcome the change from the GTR to the S2000, because from what I read, Hikaru was sort of riding the wave of the GTR, but now he gets a chance to really show his skills. Just, no one hand steering please?

Though from what I know, forced induction generally kills low to mid rev torque, as opposed to helping it.

That's why added the most essential modification I read about from King Motorsports; N.A. Tuning stage 2 for forced induction ready.

RPM 18: The White Ghost

Two days has passed since Hikaru puts his car at the audio shop. He is very excited to start cruising at Wangan immediately. Everyone can see the changes in Hikaru behaviors immediately. He’s more outgoing, relaxed, and happy.
“What is going on with you, Hikaru?” Yuki asked, “You changed”

“Do I?” Hikaru smiled, “What makes you think like that?”

“Yes, so seem more… alive, or whatever it is” Steve adds, “What is going on with you?”

“Stop exaggerating” Hikaru replied, “I’m fine, really”

“Okay, that’s it for today… see you tomorrow, guys” Yue-sensei said, “Don’t forget that tomorrow you have a quiz to do”

“Thank you for today, ma’am!” said all of the students

After Yue-sensei left the class, Hikaru approaches Gonsuke to ask him whether he’s going to work or not.
“Gon, let’s go to work” Hikaru said

“No, I’m going out with the others to shop” Gonsuke said, “See you tomorrow, then”

“Oh, okay… see you tomorrow” Hikaru replied

“Why don’t you come with us as well Hikaru?” Yuki asked, “Surely you have something you want to buys as well…”

“No thanks, sexy” Hikaru replied her as he throws a sweet smile to her, “I’m going to work now… see you tomorrow”

Yuki blushed when Hikaru said that. She feels very happy that Hikaru takes notice about her appearance.
“Way to go, darling!” said Jessie from behind her

“Umu? I don’t take that as a compliment…” Yuki pouted, “I am sexy after all”

“Yeah sure” Sarah replied, “Let’s go to the mall then!”

While the others are going out with their girlfriend, Hikaru is working at the restaurant with high spirits. He can't wait to get to the audio shop immediately.
“Something is going to happen today, huh Hikaru?” the manager smiled

“Yes, sir” Hikaru nodded, “I’m going to test my car at Wangan tonight”

“Yes, yes… it’s good to have you back with high spirits like you used to” the manager added

“I’m so sorry for causing everybody to worry” Hikaru bows, “I promised not to worry everybody again”

“Where’s Gonsuke?” the manager asked

“They told me that they are going to shop at the mall this evening” Hikaru answered, “Don’t worry, sir… I’ll cover for him”

“That’s nice of you” the manager smiled, “Work hard, kiddo!”

“Yes!” Hikaru replied with enthusiast

Steve and the others are on the way to the mall. The boys are bringing their own car with their girlfriend, except for Jessie and Sarah; they have their own car.
“Your RX-8 looks very nice, Jess” Yuki said

“Yes, I bought this last month” Jessie replied, “They have the facelift version, and it looks cooler than before. They even have paddle shifts now”

“You’re right” Steve replied from the intercom

“This thing is very handy to talk with each other” Sarah said, “We can talk to each other with no problem!”

“There is the mall!” Souya said, “Let’s shop till us drop!”

Meanwhile, Hikaru is working hard at the restaurant. The customer seems to like him very much, because his kind attitude is back online.
“Yes, thank you very much!” Hikaru bows, “Welcome! How many people?”

“Hikaru, please deliver this to Kaoru’s house” said the manager

“Yes!” Hikaru replied

Back to Steve and the others, they are eating dinners right now. After they shop for clothes, all of them feel very tired and hungry.
“Waiter, please give me pure cold water with ice” Yuki said

“Yes, miss” the waiter replied

“Huff” Yuuri sighed, “The clothes are very nice! I can't choose only one… so I bought all of them”

“You bought too much clothes, Yuuri” Rika looks at her bags, “How are you going to wear all of them?”

“It doesn’t matter… we already buys bikinis for summer vacation, anyway” Yuuri replied

“I can't wait to put it on” Sako said excitedly

“What about yours, Sarah, Jessie?” Marie asked, “Did you get one as well? What’s it like?”

“Of course” Sarah nodded, “I can't spoil all the party now, right?”

“I sure hope you bought something sexy” Clark smirked

“Yes, we did choose the sexiest of all” Yuki explained

“Just wait for the debut, guys” Ayase added

All of them already start imagining how their girls will looked like when they wear the bikini. Souya’s nose starts to bleed. So did with Gonsuke, Yamada, Iwami, and Tarou.
“Yikes!” Steve startled

“Damn it, guys!” Clark added, “You guys totally spoil my appetite!”

“Waaaah” Yuuri said, “Your nose is bleeding!”

“Okay, let’s stop teasing them” Rika wipes Tarou’s blood

“I’m sorry that we make you bleed like this” Marie said

“Please stop imagining things” Sako added

“This is not good for the boys, huh Yuki?” Ayase asked

“Surely it didn’t” Yuki pats her forehead, “Let’s order something and go home”

Yuki called the waitress and all of them ordered the menu in this restaurant. While waiting for the menu to come, Gonsuke intends to buy a magazine outside.
“I’m going to get some magazine first at the magazine kiosk outside” Gonsuke said

Gonsuke take a look at the magazine at the magazine stand. He buys one magazine that catches his attention; Honda Tuning with White Ghost article on it.
“I’ll buy this one!” Gonsuke said as he gives the money to the kiosks attendant

Gonsuke quickly opens page twenty-five to read the White Ghost’s report. He read it and found out that White Ghost of Suzuka is seen at Twin Ring Motegi.
“I can't believe it… the White Ghost’s almost here” Gonsuke gulps hard, “I must tell this to the others!”

Gonsuke hurried back to the restaurant where all of them eat. When he tells them what was happened, everyone was shocked and excited at the same time.
“So?” Gonsuke asked while he eats his steak

“I’ll say we just ‘beat’ him up good” Steve answered, “Damn country bumpkins”

“Steve’s right, we must protect the pride of High School Street Racer” Clark added, “We can't let this guy leave us threatened!”

“You’re right” Tarou replied, “We must get this clown and teach him what street racing is all about”

Meanwhile, Hikaru is already done with his work. Currently, he’s going towards the audio shop where he put his car. He wears the Mugen racing blouson and Mugen t-shirt.
“It’s finished” said Kikuchi, “The front and rear weight is evenly distributed”

“Yes, you guys are also did what I asked” Hikaru nodded, “Thank you very much”

The audio shop put all of the product decals on his car. At the windshield, there is Vortech supercharger decal and at the rear window, there is Bridgestone decal. At the carbon fiber hood, they put HKS, Mugen, and Spoon decals on the left side. As for the left and right side skirts, they put Brembo, Alpine, and PulStar decals. At the quarter part which they put Tein decals on it and they also put a team of Sergeant Keroro decals on the left rear bumper.
“You put it also” Hikaru smirks when he sees the frogs’ stickers

On the left and right doors, there is a sticker of a cute ghost with angelic rings above the head.
“This is so cool” Hikaru wheezed

“This is the last one” Kikuchi hands over a decal to Hikaru

It was the most essential decal Hikaru need; ‘Do You Have a Honda’ decal. He sticks it at the rear bumper, above the right muffler.
“Thank you very much!” Hikaru bows

“Don’t mention it” Kikuchi replied, “Alright then… go kick some ass!”

Hikaru drives his car to Wangan where he wants to test it out. At the same time, Steve and the others have finished with their shopping and went to Wangan for a cruise.

The night’s coming to greet all of the people on earth. The air turns cold and breezy, the stars shows itself one by one. The building lights also plays important role to lighting the streets. All kinds of cars; trucks, SUVs, sedans, MPVs are cruising at the streets.

Hikaru is playing Feedback Landing when he cruises at high speed at C1 area. Everyone who sees his car immediately turns their attentions to it. Grand prix white colors, wide body, and loud exhaust sound is the things that attract them.
“Hey, look at that Mugen wide body kit!” said a driver to his friend

“That car is… the one at the Twin Ring Motegi” his friend replied

“What! You mean the White Ghost?!” the driver seems surprised

Hikaru pass them with no effort at all. He cruises behind a truck to get some draft speeds, and immediately pass it.
“…” Hikaru shifts down and accelerates forward

The red gauges lights brightly. Boost gauge clocks at 1.2 bars in it while the oil pressure is stable, same thing with the water temperature. 300 KM/H is shown at his digital speedometer.
“300 KM/H and it’s still in the lower part of sixth gear” Hikaru thought, “This thing is wicked”

When he enters the Wangan line, he saw nine cars is lining up cruising at low speeds; an Evo X, Soarer, RX-7, Elise, Prelude, MR-2, Tiburon, RX-8, and Miata.
“Don’t tell me it’s them” Hikaru thought, “Bad timing”

Steve’s the one who immediately recognizes the white shady car.
“That’s… Honda S2000” Steve said, “Guys; that’s the White Ghost!”

Everyone turns their attention to the car behind them. A S2000 in grand prix white, loud exhaust sound, and big Mugen body kit; that matches the description in Gonsuke’s magazine. They lined up their cars to acts as barriers, to prevent his progress.
“Finally we found you” Clark said from the intercom

“If you did find me, what do you want with me?” Hikaru asked with different voice, “Want my autographs perhaps?”

“No! We will beat you!” Gonsuke said, “Come on!”

“Don’t you read Honda Tuning magazine lately?! Can you beat me that easily?” Hikaru asks again with furious voice, “I’m in the middle of testing here, so don’t bother me and let me pass”

“No! We will beat you here and now” Souya added

“What can S2000 like yours can do, huh?” Iwami asked

“Let me show you, then” Hikaru replied, “Leave me alone!”

“Let’s race!” Tarou said

“As you wish… you will learn the hard facts what street racing is all about!” Hikaru shifts down and accelerates forward, “Move it!!!”

“…” Yuki carefully stares at the white S2000, “His window tint is so dark. Be careful, guys!”

Hikaru plays Maximum Tune 3 OST; In Your Dream with loud volume to show them he’s not joking about his car’s power. Every beat from the music can be heard clearly from outside.
“Don’t mock me with your loud car audio!” Steve said as he chases the White Ghost

“I’m not joking around” Hikaru replied, “I’m a ghost! You can't catch me!”

“Go get him, Steve!” Jessie said

“In Your Dream, missy” Hikaru laughed, “That is the name of this music”

“I played Maximum Tune before, so I know about it” Jessie smiled, “I’m going to catch you as well”

Jessie increases her pace to follow Steve and the White Ghost. Tarou and the others are trying their best to keep up.
“To the guys in the back… what’s wrong?” Hikaru asks, “Oh, you can't follow us because your car’s weak. Swallow the bitter pill of defeat in the highway! Wangan isn’t kind of place for car enthusiasts like you guys are”

That word hit them deeply. They begin to slow down their car, realizing they can't keep up anymore.
“Know thy enemy, before thy challenges them” said Hikaru again

“I’m not through with you yet!” Steve said

“Yes you are… the finish line is at Honmoku” Hikaru grins, “If you can't keep up, you’ll lose”

“Damn! What kind of engine is inside that car?” Jessie asked

“Normal F20C… that engine is the most powerful of F engine series” Yuki replied

“Bingo” Hikaru said to Yuki, “From your sound, you are a sexy woman yes… want to date me sometime?”

“I’ll pass” Yuki smiled, “I don’t know who you are… and by the looks of it, you are an ugly person”

“I don’t exist… I’m a Ghost” Hikaru laughs, “I want to be just like the Black Phantom”

“So there is a poser” Yuki smiled, “You are lowlife, just like the rest of street racer punks”

“Call me what you want, gorgeous. I’m sure that even the Black Phantom can't defeat this masterpiece of Honda!” Hikaru sighed, “Time’s up babe, eat my dust!”

Hikaru shifted to sixth gear. When he did, everyone is surprised on how monstrous this little car can be. When he clocked 320 KM/H, a veil of white wind is shrouding his wide body. The wind comes from the gills at the fender.
“What’s that? Wings!?” Yuki looks surprised

“I’m a Ghost… I don’t exist in this world” Hikaru said as he leaves all of them behind, “Guys… Do You Have a Honda? Hahahaha”

Hikaru makes a u-turn on Honmoku junction. Everyone try to follows, but lost sights of him immediately at the turn.
“Damn monster” Steve said, “You guys okay?”

“Yeah… we’re alright” Souya sighed, “I can't believe my Seven is inferior to that puny car”

“How much horsepower did that puny car has anyway?!” Tarou bawled

“Horsepower is not the issue here” Clark explains, “He has a perfect aerodynamic that decreases his drag coefficient. The wide body, smooth bodyline, underbody aerodynamic; he has all of them”

“I want to beat that puny little car with my GT-R… soon” Yuki thought, “That engine’s really something”

“Let’s go back, guys” Sarah said, “We have quiz tomorrow”

Hikaru is back at his secret garage. He hangs his Mugen racing blouson, and his Mugen t-shirt and smiled.
“We did it, Silmeria” Hikaru said, “I still can feel my blood is rushing with adrenaline!”

“That is the feeling of speed” Silmeria replied, “You will feel it more often from now on”

“I’ll be waiting” Hikaru whispered, “See you tomorrow”

Hikaru closes the garage’s door and goes back to his house to study for tomorrow’s quiz.
“I’m home” Hikaru said

“Come on in… eat this up, and you can starts study” Seno replied, “You have a quiz tomorrow, right?”

“Yes I am” Hikaru smiled, “This curry taste good… you made it?”

“Yuki made them for you” Seno smiled back, “She said this is for the compliment you gave her”

“I see” Hikaru smirks

“Way to go lover boy!” Seno laughs, “What did you told her?”

“I told her she’s sexy” Hikaru answered, “This curry is damn good… I’ll thank her later”

After Hikaru is eating, he got a message from Yuki. She wants him to come to her house later to study overnight for the quiz. She also mentioned that all of his friends will also come to study.
“Sis, I’m going to go to Yuki’s house now” Hikaru said, “She’s inviting me to her house to study”

“Okay… don’t study something else” Seno replied

“What kind of study?” Hikaru asks her

“Something like… you know what it is” Seno said

“Like what? You mean that?” Hikaru smirked, “I won’t mind if she’s not mind”

“What I meant is floral arts” Seno sounded mad, “Don’t let it go from your head”

Hikaru grabs his notebook, jacket, and uniform. After he drinks a glass of water, he’s off
“I’m just talking to myself” Hikaru said, “I’m going!”

At Yuki’s house, everyone is already starts to study. All of them are trying to solve a question from the text book without looking for the answers.
“Excuse me” Hikaru said, “Hi…”

“Glad you can make it” Steve said as he bites his pen

“Please come in” Yuki replied, “Sit here with me, and study with me”

“Okay…” Hikaru said, “Thanks for the curry; they are the best… so are you”

“Umu? What was that?” Yuki doesn’t hear the compliment

“I said thanks for the curry. They are really good” Hikaru said again

“I heard what you said before… Thank you; that’s so sweet” Yuki kisses Hikaru’s on the cheek

“Oh…” Souya said when he sees what happened

“Sheeesh!” Hikaru told him to be quiet

All of them are studying for about one and half hour before they understands most of it.
“Whew” Yuki wheezed

“Missy, I’ll borrow your kitchen for awhile” Steve said, “Hikaru, help me make something for them”

Hikaru and Steve go to the kitchen to make something good for their friends. The kitchen is very tidy, and clean. Even the utensils are line up perfectly.
“She’s a neat person” Steve whispered

“Yes she is” Hikaru whispered back, “What will we make?”

“There are Kiwi fruits and some olives” Steve said, “Let’s make a sweet and sour juice for them”

“Okie-dokie…” Hikaru said, “I’ll cut the kiwis then”

“I’ll separate the olives and the seed” Steve nodded

Meanwhile at the living room, Yuki is watching them to know what they are doing. Yuki is very curious to know and tries to take a peek.
“Ehem” Jessie said

“Sorry, I just want to know what re they doing” Yuki whispered

“My boyfriend is not a gay, and so is yours” Jessie is calculating the answers, “Shit! We have some deviations here”

“Don’t divides it with the n factor; divide it with the number of times they appears” Hikaru said from the kitchen

Jessie calculates again as what she’s told to, and the answers are correct.

“Nice! I’m always wrong at these kinds of section” Jessie said, “Thank you, Hikaru”

“You’re welcome” Hikaru said, “Now where is the ice…”

“It’s at the ice bar” Yuki replied, “Open the clear case first, and there it is”

“Thank you, pretty” Hikaru said again sweetly

“You’re welcome” Yuki said as she blushed

“Get a room you two!” Clark said as he covers his ear

“The juice is ready! Get it while it’s cold!” Steve said as he gives glass of juice to everyone

All of them drink it and it tastes very sour.
“Puaah! Sour!” Jessie said

“Sour is good for your nerves” Steve said, “It cancels the sleepy effects from fatigue”

“It also acts as a natural slimming potion” Hikaru added, “Maybe we should opens up business together like Juice House… how’s that sound?”

“I’m going to hold the idea for the food of thought” Steve nodded

“You guys know much” Yuki said

“Actually it was his idea to use olives” Hikaru said, “He’s a very skilled guy with knives”

“Do you clean all the utensils after use?” Yuki asked

“Sure thing, missy” Steve answered, “Thanks for lending us your kitchen”

“No problem” Yuki said, “Now let us talks about the earlier event… the White Ghost”

“White Ghost… don’t tell me that is the name of the White S2000 on Motegi” Hikaru said

Hikaru is also a good actor and liar. He pretends to know nothing, even though he’s the driver of the Ghost.
“You saw it at Motegi?” Iwami asked

“Sure did” Hikaru nodded, “At the last stretch of the first ring, he can achieve 300 easily!”

“I see” Ayase said, “That’s why he didn’t have any trouble reaching 300 at Wangan”

“You guys saw him earlier?” Hikaru asked

“We did” Yamada answered, “And we lost very badly”

“We didn’t have any chance against that monster” Sako pats Yamada’s head

“There must be some kind of secret in running that kind of speed” Sarah rubs her chin

“Yes, but what is?” Clark sound puzzled

“Well, thinking about it now will only makes up forget what we studied earlier” Hikaru said, “We have to hold this matter at least until the quiz is over”

“Then let’s get some sleep” Yuki replied, “Good night everyone”

“Where do they sleep?” Hikaru asked

“There are two more guest rooms here” Yuki answered, “They can sleep there”

“I see… then I’ll sleep with the boys” Hikaru said, “Good night, Yuki”

“Good night, Hikaru” Yuki replied

All of them go to sleep. Hikaru can't sleep because Iwami is snoring when he’s asleep.
“Damn it! All of you can sleep, but why can't I?” Hikaru sounds frustrated, “I need some fresh air”

Hikaru steps outside and saw Yuki is sitting by the waterfall at this late night.
“Hi” Hikaru said, “Can't sleep?”

Yuki turns her head to the direction of the voice, and see Hikaru leans his back at the tree.
“You know how freaky things going to become if we searched for what we want, but ended up finding it right under our feet?” Yuki asked

“No…” Hikaru answered, “I never was looking for something that hard”

“Do you have a crush on someone, Hikaru?” Yuki asks again

“I do… she was my little angel” Hikaru smiled, “Even though I don’t know where she is right now”

“Me too” Yuki said, “I don’t know what happened to that little guy that saved me from drowning”

“Drowning?” Hikaru asked

“Yes… I know you’re going to ask about it” Yuki approaches Hikaru, “I already found him all along… I forget the reason I become your mother’s apprentice”

“And that is?” Hikaru asks again

“Because I want to be useful to that little guy someday… as a girl… as a woman… as a wife” Yuki holds Hikaru’s clothes tightly

“So that girl is you…?” Hikaru sounds surprised

“I am… notice how much I changed?” Yuki smiled sweetly as she turns around, “I’ve found out that little guy is you, when I opened my family photo album. Before your parents passed away, our families have always been close friend. I see that little guy’s eyes in you. Then I noticed; he is you”

“I never realized she was you” Hikaru smirks

“Then… can we continue our feelings from where we left off?” Yuki looked at Hikaru’s face with strange look on her eyes

“I guess trying is not going to hurt, right?” Hikaru lifts his shoulders, “Yuki…?”

Yuki kisses him softly on the lips. His red colored maple leaf kimono is loose and it shows her cleavage. Big bosom and white smooth skin make Hikaru gulped hard at what he sees.
“That is my second kiss” Yuki smiled, “That little guy steals my first kiss when he helps me breathing again”

“I kiss you that time?” Hikaru asked

“You did” Yuki smiled as she kisses Hikaru again, “Please make it interesting, Hikaru…”

Hikaru kisses her back passionately. Both of them longs for each other all these years.
“Carry me to my bed” Yuki said, “Please”

“Sure” Hikaru replied

Hikaru lifts Yuki’s body and carries her to her bed. The room is very different. It looks like she decorated it even more to make it looks warm.
“Hikaru… make love to me” Yuki whispered, “Make me yours here and now”

That word hit Hikaru deeply and he immediately feels confused. Her sister already warns him about this possibility, and now he’s faced with the real situation. What is he going to do?
“I… can't” Hikaru replied, “You’re not my wife just yet”

“I need you beside me…” Yuki said, “I always longs for you when we separated… I always feel lonely, wherever I go… because you already took my heart away fourteen years ago. Half of my soul is in your heart”

“I just can't… even though I know you for a long time, I just… can't” Hikaru repeated himself

“Is it because I’m not as sexy as Rena?” Yuki stands up in front of him

When she stands up, her smooth legs and her underwear can be seen perfectly by Hikaru.
“It’s not about you… it’s about me” Hikaru answered, “Please sit here”

Yuki sits in Hikaru’s lap and leans herself at Hikaru’s chest.
“If you want me so bad, then please wait for me to get ready” Hikaru smiled, “Would you wait for me?”

“I can't… I can't wait!” Yuki cried, “I won't wait for you”

This is bad. She wants Hikaru so bad to be her husband right now. What will he do now?
“…” Hikaru didn’t give any reply

“…” Yuki also turns silent

Hikaru realizes something. She smells like alcohol. Did she drink or something?
“Yuki… did you drink a wine or something?” Hikaru sniffs her mouth

“I think it should be celebrated… you don’t hate me, you are my long lost love, and you turned to be such a hot hunk” Yuki smiled

She’s drunk! How great is that… Hikaru is scared half to death already.
“Huff” Hikaru sighed, “Please sleep here, okay?”

Hikaru puts her to the bed and tidied her hair so she can breathe easily. Hikaru whistles Mysteria by Tsuyoshi Sekito from Brave Fencer Musashi song to help her asleep. The sweet tune of the song and Hikaru’s warmth makes her fall asleep.
“Huff” Hikaru thought, “I thought that I’m going to die back there”

When Hikaru tries to leave her to sleep alone, Yuki pulls his clothes and hold him not to go.
“Sleep here with me” Yuki whispered

“Sure…” Hikaru said with pale face

Hikaru feels dizzy as well. Come to think of it, he makes out with Yuki when she’s drunk right? He also feels dizzy as well.
“Damn…” Hikaru said, “This is why I hate wines and beers”

He fainted. His head is too dizzy to do anything more than fall asleep.

In the morning, the birds chirped at the branches of trees near the waterfall. Hikaru who realizes it is morning already wakes up with a hangover in his head.
“Damn…” Hikaru said as he stares at the window, “Its morning already?”

Hikaru’s head is at something soft and warm, and has some clothes on it… it’s a kimono with red colored maple leafs on it.
“Yikes!” Hikaru said as he moves his head away from it

It was Yuki’s bosom. Hikaru has a bad habit of moving anywhere when he sleeps.
“Umu…?” Yuki said as she stares at the ceiling, “Its morning already…?”

“Ye, yes… good morning” Hikaru said with trembling voice

“What are you so afraid of?” Yuki asked, “You didn’t rape me or anything when I was asleep and drunk, right? If you don’t, then don’t be afraid… I’m not going to bite you”

“N, no I don’t” Hikaru spins his head in panic, “Let’s get something to eat for breakfast”

“Sure” Yuki wakes up and stretch her arms, “Come on… or do you want to drink some of my milk?”

Hikaru startled and gulped hard. He smiled bitterly as he gets closer to Yuki.
Yuki reads his mind already; she untied her belt so Hikaru can open her kimono… until somebody coming and interrupts the process.
“That’s right…” Yuki said as she watches Hikaru moves slowly above her, “Make a lot of love to me… Hikaru”

“Yuki, good morning” Sarah said as she opens the door

Hikaru is at the top of Yuki, with her belt untied.
“Whoops! Out you go, Hikaru!” Sarah pulls Hikaru’s clothes separating them, “That’s totally inappropriate of you!”

“Yikes!” Hikaru falls down to the side of the bed

“It’s alright, Sarah… I don’t mind” Yuki tightens her belt

“We already made you some smoked chicken sandwiches for both of you” Sarah said again

“Alright, then… I’ll see you later, then” Hikaru stands up, “I’m going to take a bath first”

“…” Yuki doesn’t give any replies. She feels awkward after what happens

After Hikaru gets out from the room, Sarah slaps Yuki’s face when she sees what happened.

PLAK!

“That’s not how a lady like you supposes to behave” Sarah sounds mad, “Don’t give away your virginity if he’s not ready”

“I’m sorry” Yuki bites her lips, “I just want to be with him always”

“Throw away your stupid thought” Sarah tied up Yuki’s belt, “Let him be the one who wants to be with you. That’s not like you to act like that… where is this Yuki with calm, cool, and collected manners?!”

“Sorry” Yuki nodded, “I’ll be fine, I’ll control myself from now on”

All of them are eating at the dining room. No one speaks to each other because they don’t know what to talks about in this kind of situation.
“Um… thanks for the meal” Hikaru said

Sarah stares at him angrily. She is still offended by Hikaru’s action earlier.
“…” Yuki is also stares at him

“… I’m going on ahead to the school” Hikaru gets his bag and leave, “See you later”

“Ah, wait for me, Hikaru!” Clark follows

Steve and the other are also finished with their food. All of them walk together to the school to avoid being yelled by Sarah.
“Man… I never saw her face like that” Clark said, “What did you do anyway?”

“I’m trying to make love to Yuki when she showed up” Hikaru sighed, “I feel bad to them… especially Yuki”

“That’s not like you to lose your cool like that” Steve replied, “What happened anyway?”

“I found out last night that she’s my long lost crush when I was a kid” Hikaru answered, “We make out few times and I carry her to her bed… I didn’t do anything last night, though”

“And Yuki seduces you this morning, and you tempted to make love to her when Sarah comes in” Souya said, “Great… you just become the most hated guy by the girls”

“… Huff” Hikaru sighed, “Did Yuki also hates me for it?”

“I don’t think so” Iwami pats Hikaru’s shoulder, “Don’t worry too much; we have a quiz going on”

“You’re right… I’ll apologize later to the girls and to Yuki” Hikaru nodded, “Thanks, man”

“For sure” Iwami nods, “let’s go then”

At the front gate, the girls are waiting. They arrive faster because they go with Yuki and her car.
“Sorry, we’re late” Tarou said, “Let’s go to the class and study some more”

“Sure” Rika nodded

“Girls…” Hikaru bows to them, “I’m sorry for what happens, please forgive my immaturity”

“It’s alright” Jessie said

“Just don’t repeat it” Sako smiled

“If you touch her, then you are married to her” Ayase nodded

“Don’t flirt around with girl other than her” Yuuri said

“And don’t break her heart” Marie adds

“Cause if you do…” Rika continues

“We’ll kill you!” said all of them to him

Hikaru is startled. All of them shows one expression to him; mad. Yuki steps forward and smiled to them. All of them leave Yuki and Hikaru alone to talk.
“Do you mad at me?” Yuki asked

“That’s the question I supposed to ask you” Hikaru said

“I’m not mad at you… I just feel it’s inappropriate for me to act like that” Yuki lowers her head, “I’m sorry to got you mixed up in this mess”

“No worries” Hikaru pats Yuki’s head, “Come on, we must study some more”

Both of them enter the class only to draw more attention from Rena and the others. Rena whistled, followed by the other boys and girls.
“Yuki and Hikaru is officially a couple now” Rena whistled

“Congrats, guys” Moriyama smiled

Yuki stares at all of the students who cheered at them and Hikaru also did the same.

“You guys are annoying… stop exaggerating” Yuki said in calm manner

“You guys can cheer us up when we decided to get married soon” Hikaru adds

All of them turn silent. Both of them had a very bad morning and this kind of thing happens, makes all of their friends feel normal for them to act like this.
“For crying out loud” Yuki said

Yue-sensei gets to the class not long after all of them refresh their mind.
“Okay, time for the quiz” Yue-sensei said, “Are you guys ready?”

Yue-sensei is giving the students a piece of paper with numbers of questions on it. Everyone seems to understand though; they immediately solve the problem even before they’re told to start.

One hour later, all of them submits the paper to Yue-sensei and leaves her satisfied on the results.
“Alright… I guess all of you did study hard” Yue-sensei smiled, “Okay, you guys can rest for awhile”

Yuki looks glad. She puts her head on the desk at the top of her folded arms.
“Phew” Yuki breathes heavily, “This is good; I managed to solve all of them quickly”

Hikaru closed his eyes to get some rest. He feels very tired after solving that entire question in short time.
“Are you finished, Hikaru?” Steve asked

“Sure did” Hikaru nodded, “It was just like what I imagined it would be”

“So… Natsume Maya, did you finish yours in time?” Yuuri asked

“Cut it out” Yuki said, “I do follow her style, but I’m not her”

“Natsume Maya? Who is that?” Hikaru looks puzzled

“Haven’t you read Tenjho Tenge, huh?” Yuki asked, “It’s a good manga with a good story”

“You mean the one which Air Gear’s author makes? I didn’t like the story too much” Hikaru lifts his shoulder

“Whatever you say it is, it’s really good manga” Yuki replied flatly, “You should read it once in awhile though… don’t read Wangan Midnight and Initial D too much”

Jessie, Sarah, Rika, Marie, Yuuri, Sako, and Ayase smiled when they see Yuki is back to normal. Her cool, calm and collected manner is back.
“Speaking of Initial D, let’s play it! They has the newest version of the machine” Souya said

“Initial D? It’s fun to played as well” Iwami adds

“Let’s play it after the school is over, then” Yamada said, “What do you think?”

“Sure” Iwami nodded

“Yuki, before I forget… how is it going with the hotel officials?” Yue-sensei suddenly back and ask her

“Well I already talked to the guys there and they say it’s alright” Yuki answered, “From class 2A to class 2F can go… even though there is a change in plan; we will leave with airplane from Haneda airport”

“I see… are there any changes in fees?” Yue-sensei asks again

“No… we’ll just stick to the plan” Yuki replied, “They have some advertising program that’ll use students for promoting their hotel”

“I’m glad there is no change in the fees” Yue-sensei sighed, “Thanks again, Yuki”

“Don’t mention it, sensei” Yuki nodded, “After all, this is the only thing I can do for this school”

After the school is over, all of them separate to do what they usually do; part time work. Hikaru and Gonsuke go to restaurant to work as well. After both of their work is over, Gonsuke is waiting for Marie from the extracurricular activities.
“This time, I’ll ask Kojiro to modify my Prelude” Gonsuke said, “I’ll defeat the White Ghost”

“Everyone says the same thing” Hikaru spins his head, “Whether it’s you, Steve, Souya, Iwami, Yamada, Clark, or even Tarou”

“You should see it with your own eyes” he replied, “He’s so fast… too fast to be exact”

“Oh well… I guess there is always something that goes beyond our grasp” Hikaru lifts his shoulders

“If the Sky Captain is still around; will you beat him, Hikaru?” Gonsuke asked with serious look on his face

“I can't assure you though… Steve said his modification is intense already; he uses custom made engine block for high revving purpose” Hikaru rubs his chin, “But it won't hurt to try”

“Oh, Marie is here” Gonsuke said, “See you tomorrow, Hikaru!”

“Yes, see you around” Hikaru nods

After Gonsuke disappears from his sight, he immediately goes to the secret garage to drive his car again. Whether he realizes it or not, this secret activity is making him very addicted to it.
“I like it very much” Hikaru smirks, “Sneaking from everyone, and driving this car in secret… makes my heart beat so fast”

“Sure you do” Silmeria replied, “You are secretly beat all of them”

“The Black Phantom will be at Wangan soon… let’s go, Silmeria!” Hikaru said as he gets out his car

“Certainly” Silmeria said back

At Wangan, Steve, Iwami, Yamada, Gonsuke, Souya, and Tarou is cruising once again to wait for the White Ghost. They intended to have a revenge on him.
“This time… I ask Kojiro to increase my boost” Souya said, “Now it has 1.2 bars on the turbo”

“Careful. High boost can do damage real good on the turbine” Tarou replied

“And where is this Ghost guy?” Yamada asked, “You think he’ll come tonight?”

“He will” Clark answered

“You’re so confident” Gonsuke smirks

“Clark is right… because I can see him at the back of that truck!” Steve shouts, “Come on, White Ghost!”

“You guys surely hardheaded” Hikaru sighed, “Still haven’t taste enough of my performance, huh?”

He shifts up and lined his car at the side of Steve’s Evo.

“Come on” Hikaru smiled, “Do you actually believe that you beat the White Ghost?”

“Let me be the one who beats him!” said Black Phantom

She arrives just in time to have a head to head battle with White Ghost.
“Fine… you guys will do fine” Hikaru nodded

The three of them is pushing their cars to the limit. Steve with a lot of revs can match up against the Black Phantom’s GT-R easily.
“I already modified my engine block for this kind of purpose!” Steve shouts, “Can you defeat my car?!”

“Of course I already know” Hikaru replies, “4B11T cannot withstand such a torque and power. The block will immediately break”

“You are some mechanic” said the Phantom, “But it won't be enough for my GT-R!”

But even the Black Phantom can't match up with the White Ghost. The Ghost still accelerates forward, even on 300 KM/H.
“What the hell! He still accelerates forward?!” Steve cannot believe his eyes

“What kind of engine is that?!” the Phantom is surprised as well

“I never was has any intends to be the king of Wangan. I’m simply showing all of you the power my car has… Honmoku is there, so I’ll just leave you guys around here” Hikaru makes a u-turn

The Black Phantom is smiling. She never feels so attracted to this White Ghost guy. She increases her pace and follows him around.
“Black Phantom, where are you going?” Steve asked

“The night belongs to adult; kids, please go home and go to bed” the Black Phantom replied

“Huff” Hikaru sighed

He looks at his rearview mirror and he saw the Black Phantom is following him.
“You’re a good driver” said the Phantom, “I never feel so attracted to you… can I get to know you? Who are you anyway?”

“You better don’t” Hikaru spins his head, “I already have a girlfriend, and I will never flirt around with other girls”

“…” the Black Phantom smiled, “I’m a beautiful and sexy woman you know”

“Don’t you have anything better to do? For example like calling your boyfriend at this late or something?” Hikaru sounds pissed, “Just leave me alone… I’m a perfectly loyal guy to one girl here”

“What is she like? Is she sexy and hot? Is she rich and famous?” the Black Phantom keeps on asking

“I consider her to be the most beautiful woman in the world and she is perfectly built to the boot! Also yes; she is rich and totally famous in my school”” Hikaru smirks, “That’s it! No more info for you!”

Hikaru increases his pace and leave the Black Phantom alone.

30 minutes later, Hikaru is back at his secret garage. He stares at his car and feels very bad about lying to his friends.
“I feel bad about this” Hikaru sighed, “I have to tell everyone that I’m the White Ghost immediately”

“Sure, go ahead… the sooner the better” Silmeria replied

“See you tomorrow, then… Silmeria” Hikaru nods

Hikaru close his garage and go back home immediately.

The end of the week is here. Hikaru and the others are going to attend Kenjou’s marriage ceremony.

Everyone is gathering at Yuki’s house before they left. Hikaru doesn’t show his face yet. He said that he’ll join them at the ceremony, because he has a stomachache and he’ll be late.
“Okay, let’s go then” Yuki said

“What about Hikaru, man?” Steve asked

“He’ll attend the party. He said he has a stomachache and he’ll be late” Yuki replied

“Fine then… let’s go, Steve” Jessie gets on his Evo

“… Man” Steve gets in as well and drives

Yuki is riding with Jessie and Steve. The others are also coming to the ceremony and brought their own car.

At the party, everyone seems to having fun. Kenjou looks very happy with Natsume in the stage. Satoshi, Kaoru, and Kamata are also happy for him.
“You are so lucky!” Kamata said as he hugs Kenjou’s neck

“Ouch, ouch” Kenjou struggles to let go

“Congrats, Kenjou” Kaoru said, “Please be happy ever and after”

“Natsume is a kind woman” Satoshi smiled, “Please take good care of my stupid friend here, Natsume”

“I will” Natsume said, “Where is Hikaru and the others?”

“They’ll come around soon enough” Kaoru replied

All of them show up at the right time. Kenjou is very happy to see them coming to his most important moment all of them except for Hikaru.
“Kenjou! Congrats, man!” Souya shakes Kenjou’s hand

“Thank you for all these years” Tarou sniffs in tears

“Don’t be like that; we’ll always be friends” Kenjou said, “I’m still part of your team, remember?”

“Thank you and congratulations, Kenjou” Gonsuke replied

“Where is Hikaru?” Kenjou asked

“He’s late… he said he has a stomachache” Steve answered, “Look at the groom here! We have a very perfect couple”

“Congratulations, Natsume-san” Jessie said as she shakes her hand

“Seno-san can't make it because she’s busy… but she liked to give you this instead” Sarah gives them an envelope

“What is this?” Natsume opens the envelope

“Open it, and see for yourself” Clark replied

It’s a two way ticket to Europe, and includes five stars hotel bookings for two people.
“Seno gives this for us?!” Kenjou asked, “We’re so using this ticket for our honeymoon!”

After touchy and heartfelt greets, all of them eats the food and drink the beverages they prepared for the guest. Hikaru still hasn’t shows up.

Yuki is waiting near the gate for him until he finally arrives. He walks with his black pants and messy shirt. He also carries around a jacket with him.
“What took you?! Don’t you feel bad towards Kenjou and the others?” Yuki seems mad

“I’m sorry… I ate due date food this morning” Hikaru sighed, “I’m so sorry”

“No matter…” Yuki tidies his clothes, “Why are you wearing a jacket?”

“Oh this I don’t have a suit, so I wear this instead” Hikaru wears the jacket, “This jacket is like a suit, see?”

“Okay, let’s greet them” Yuki pushes him, “And let’s join the others quick”

Yuki wears a black Chinese cheongsam with side openings. She looks very hot and sexy with it.
“You are very sexy in that cheongsam” Hikaru whispered

“Thank you” Yuki whispers back, “I’ll let you take a good look on it later”

“Kenjou… sorry I'm late” Hikaru said as he shakes Kenjou’s hand, “Congratulations, friend”

“Where have you been my friends?” Kenjou looks surprised, “And who is this fine lady you brought with you?”

“She’s Yuki… she’s my girlfriend” Hikaru replied

“Nice to meet you…” Yuki bows, “We meet before at the school festival”

“Yes, yes…” Natsume said, “Please enjoy the food here”

“Thank you, Natsume-san” Hikaru nods

Hikaru joins the others when they eat their food. Everyone feels so happy for Kenjou and Natsume. The bouquet flower is not yet thrown off the air. When Natsume throws the bouquet, Kamata is the one who gets it. He’s so embarrassed and happy at the same time to receive such honor. The jazz music they played is very match for this happy ceremony. Kenjou and Natsume dance at the floor, followed by everyone including Hikaru and Yuki.
“Put your hand here and here” Yuki puts Hikaru’s hands in her hips and takes the other hand

“Okay, and then what?” Hikaru looks confused

“Follow my rhythm and move your legs just the way I did” Yuki explains

Hikaru can actually dance by following Yuki’s leg movement. Different from Clark and Steve, they can't follow their girlfriend’s steps at all.
“Can we achieve that stage as well to be there, stands at each other’s side to be a happy husband and wife like that?” Yuki asks while she stares at the stage

“Let’s have faith” Hikaru said, “I’ll always be there for you”

Near the end of the party, everyone is still enjoying their food and drinks. Suddenly, a loud noise is coming from outside of the building, and someone enters the hall with ease in her face; it was Haruna from RJ7.
“Congratulations, Natsume” Haruna said

“Haruna… what do you want?” Natsume asked, “Please leave immediately”

“It’s not the way to address your long time friend” Haruna sits at the bride’s chair

“Please leave” Kenjou said, “You’re a nuisance to our holy ceremony”

Meanwhile, at the dance floor, Yuki and the other girls started to feel uncomfortable.
“Who is that scary looking woman?” Yuki whispered in worries

“She is one of the members from Real Japan Seven” Hikaru replied, “Well, she certainly spoils the party here”

“We; Real Japan Seven would like to congratulate you” Haruna said

“Look, you already spoil the party” Satoshi said, “Just tell us your intention, and leave!”

“Satoshi…” Yayoi whispered

“We would like to give our warnings to the High School Street Racer, which is your puny little team” Haruna replied

“And what do you want?” Kaoru asked

“So the Japanese Exotics team is also backing them up” Haruna smiled

“Why wouldn’t we?” Kaoru asked back, “You and your pathetic team are threatening all of the car enthusiasts on the street! How can you explain that?”

“Look; we already know your intention, so please leave” Kenjou said

“Alright, fine…” Haruna nodded, “The Street is the only playground for the chosen people”

“Quit babbling!” Hikaru shouts, “If you think you are chosen, why we don’t have a match to prove it… you guys is nothing but lowlife scum on the street”

“Who’s talking? Oh, looks like it’s the Sky Captain… or should I say; ex-Captain” Haruna giggled

“The Sky Captain is already dead…” Hikaru said as he looks at Kenjou, Satoshi, and Kaoru

“You who don’t have any business with us, please stay away” Haruna said

“Oh, but I do have some business on the street… I still lingers on the street” Hikaru replied calmly, “Heard about the defeat of the Black Phantom recently? That was the White Ghost’s doing… or should I say; my doing”

Everyone is so surprised when they hear what Hikaru said including Steve and the others, the guests in there, car enthusiasts, and even Yuki-his own girlfriend
“That’s right” Hikaru smiled, “I’m the White Ghost of Suzuka. How is that sounds to you? Interested?”

“You’ll do fine” Haruna replied, “I’m sure everyone is interested on hearing this news. The end of summer, at Aoto Station”

“Sure” Hikaru nodded, “Tell this to your boss also. If they mess with us, he better be prepared for the worst”

Haruna steps down from the stage and gets out from the building with humiliated look on her face.

Steve and the others are so surprised and confused. Why didn’t he tell them?
“Why didn’t you tell us?” Souya said

“I don’t want to spoil all the fun” Hikaru smiled, “Relax… I’m back with you on the team”

“After what you did to us” Clark sounds mad, “I can't forgive you that easy!”

“Wangan isn’t a place for average guys like all of you” Hikaru said, “We are not highway street racers”

“I guess you’re right” Tarou sighed, “You did give us the hard lesson”

“Why did you keep it to yourself?” Souya asked, “How do you extract all that power anyway?!”

“Ask them” Hikaru looked at Kaoru, Satoshi, and Kenjou

When Hikaru looks at them, all of them points their thumbs up and smiled.
“We won't tell you, though… it’s our little secret” Kaoru smiled

“Oh, man…” Steve said, “You got me confused here”

“So… there is another Honda driver in your team” Kamata grins, “After the race is over, what do you say if we raced? I want to taste the power of your White Ghost against my type-R”

“Why not old man” Hikaru ask back, “I’m always ready to race, whoever the opponent is”
