--------------------------------------------------------------
Takumi's phone rings. He isn't there. Bunta answers instead.
-Fujiwara Tofu Shop.
-Oh,good morning Mr. Fujiwara. Is Takumi around?And I'm Iketani,a friend of Takumi,if you remember me.
-Ohh,the guy who crashed his Silvia and begged me to race. Yeah I remember you.I'll get Takumi on the phone.
-Thank you.
-Takumi,come down!A friend wants to talk to you.
-I'm coming..!
Takumi picks the phone from his dad.
-Hello,Takumi?
-Hey,Iketani. What's up?
-I found the thing you were looking for....With the help of a friend..
-Oh my!Really?!
-Yes.I'll pick you up in 20 minutes. Prepare your eyes.
-Okay. Good. I'm waiting.
Iketani hangs up
What did he talk about,son?
-Uhh,he found something and wants my opinion on it.
-Okay.....
Takumi waits impatiently for Iketani to come,as he will witness a monster.A monster no one thought he would have. No one ever will expect this on Takumi's hands. Iketani honks as time flew by in a brink.
-I'm coming,Iketani. Bye dad!
-See you..
Takumi immediately hops in .He is excited to the limits.
"What is this?asks Bunta himself.I know he is hiding something from me..I'll find out anyway."
-Soo,Takumi. Don't you think it's too powerful?That thing is an....an absolute devil.
-I'll see. If I think it's too much, I still have a plan B so no worries.
-Okay..But mark my words,if you agree on it,I don't know if any of them will stand a chance.
-Whatever.I'll decide it myself.
-Oh,by the way. What happened to Sayuki anyway?Do you know?
-Except that she is badly hurt and has several broken bones I don't know any other thing.
-Wh-WHAT?That's so bad to hear! I'm really sorry for what happened..
-Me too,Iketani-senpai. But there's nothing we can do. We can just hope she won't end up badly. Does Mako know about this?
-Come on now,Takumi!How should I know?
-Dad saw the accident on the news and I thought she might have heard of it..There was something suspicious about it anyway..
-About the crash?What do you mean?
-I saw one of the wheels away from the car. Wasn't it properly bolted?
-Oh my!That is strange!Who would do that?
-I have no idea,but who did it deserves a good beating..Now that we talked about this I really hope she will be alright..
-What's this,Takumi?I thought you didn't care that much?says Iketani while having a weird grin on his face.
-Oh shut up.I don't have interest in this girl. She's just a good person and my friend so I hope nothing bad will happen. Quit thinking like that,Iketani.
-I was just kidding..Tho I still can't get my head off that thing. Would they even stand a chance against it?
-I don't know.
Iketani arrives at his friend's garage. The machine is in there.
-Hello,Nakajima. I came with my friend to see it.
-Hey. I'll guide you to it. Is your friend sure he wants to loan it?
-I am,said Takumi with a great conviction in his voice. What did you say you're doing with it?
-Hah,I do literally nothing with it. It's a piece of my collection,but since you really want to bring it back to life,I'll allow you to.
-Thank you so much. Is 6 months okay? I won't use it in any other way.
-Of course. But you have to promise me you won't employ it in any other thing.
-I promise you. You can trust me.
-Good. Gentlemen,I present to you....an asleep monster,said Nakajima as he unveiled it.
-Oh. My. Word..
-T-Takumi..You sure have guts for choosing it..
~At the hospital~
"I can't believe this..Why did this happen?And how did it happen?It's just nonsense..said Mako in her mind,having concern and sadness visible on her face."
She walks on the hall back and forth.
"If only I'd have somebody to support me..I can't take all of this alone..I can't call Iketani..He'll think I will use him,says Mako in her head."
The doctor exits the operation room. Mako has her eyes big,and rushes to him to ask about her friend's condition.
-Mr. Doctor,Mr. Doctor!How is her condition?
-She's in good condition at the moment. She'll make a recovery pretty soon. No consequences are existent. She will be just as she was before.
-T-Thank you so much!!!!says Mako while having a big smile on her face. Her happiness is beyond limits. She can't wait to talk to Sayuki. The doctor nods his head ,with a gentle smile on his figure,then he leaves.
In his visit,Itsuki happens to see Mako. He goes straight to her.
-Hey Mako!What are you doing here?
-Oh,hi Itsuki. I'm waiting here to be able to talk to Sayuk-
-WHAT??Why is she in hospital?What happened to her?
-She got into a weird crash on the highway.
-Ohh,so she was the one on the news. Tsk tsk. How is her condition?
-The doctor said she's fine. What about you?Why are you here?
-Eeeeh,it's something personal!!
-Um,ok. Well bye then.
-See you..
I have to tell Iketani that Mako is here!I have to call him,maybe he will have a nice talk with her!
The phone rings. Iketani picks up.
-Why are you calling,Itsuki?I'm doing something impor-
-Mako is at the hospital! She is waiting to see Sayuki!Come here and have a talk with her!!
-Wha,okay.I'll come. See you there. The local hospital right?
-Right.
Iketani hangs up.
-Let's go,Takumi. We're going to the hospital.
-What?Why?
-Mako's also there and Itsuki almost begged me to go,so guess I have no choice.
-Ok. This thing will stay here. See you Nakajima!
-See you guys!
"Hm. I should limit this car. I don't want him to see what it's really capable of. It's a shame for such a talented japanese street racer to drive in his own country in a german car. Doesn't he have pride?"thinks Nakajima.
|In Iketani's S13|
-I'm still sceptical about driving that..I don't know. I'm not sure.
-Hm...I don't know what to say. It's up to you really.
-It sure is. By the way,how is work?
-It's good. It's pretty fine..
-That doesn't sound like it. What's wrong?
-There's nothing wrong. I'm just bored.
-Oh. Itsuki said Kenji was in his car with a beautiful girl. Did he find a girlfriend?
-Oh,nah. I asked him about it and he said it was his cousin.
-Pff.
-Hah,I know right? I'm really curious why Itsuki wants Kazumi.
-I don't really care. It's weird..Wataru himself said he needs a real woman not like Kazumi.
-Takumi,I think Itsuki is a bit desperate..Isn't he?
-Hm? Maybe. I don't want to talk sick behind his back.
-Nor me but,he should focus more on himself.
-He'll eventually figure it out later. Now please,Iketani. Just get us to the hospital.
-Can't you see I'm already speeding?
