Nekopara fanfic

Book 2, Chapter 112. The Race.

She held still, until one of the cars in the back tried to run her over, seemingly on purpose. Thankfully it was safe for her to get out of the way, taking a safer route to meet the winner at the end.

Royal, who had easily taken the lead, checked his rearview mirrors to see who was behind him. Not more than one car length behind him was Qrow, in his signature 69 Camaro SS, then an Enzo with a Stacked Deck wrap, which was currently locked in a struggle with a Huayra BC which was trying to get them to crash... Oh well, they were a Stacked Deck member and he didn't specify any rules.

There was a screech of tires and the Enzo hurtled forward, attempting to rear-end Royal's Supra. Just as fast as he could get out of the way, the Huayra hurtled forward and slammed into the Enzo, sending them forward, but messing with their traction, causing Royal to have to swerve out of the way, cursing as he did.

Next, two more cars caught up, one he recognized as Cross' car, and...

"Fucking hell, him too? Did he even place a bet? Evelyn knows who Razor is, no way she'd let him in." Royal muttered.

"Qrow, the Mustang with the flames is Razor. Mind taking him out?" Royal asked.

But as fast as he said that, the Huayra swerved in front of Razor's Mustang, braking hard and smashing hard. It fucked up the back of the Huayra, but Razor's Mustang got it way worse, skidding off the road and crashing, where Cross stopped to get him.

The Huayra however just kept going, not giving a fuck about the fact that it's rear bumper was on the verge of falling off and the trunk was mostly crumpled. It just boosted forward and slammed into the left rear side of the Enzo, turning the Enzo around and completely stopping them.

The Huayra just rolled down its window and made a gesture.

By this point, nearly everybody had been left in the dust by Qrow
And Royal, but the Huayra stuck with them, doing its best to keep up despite the fact that the damage was definitely starting to take its toll on their speed.

Eventually they made it to the finish line, Royal, followed by Qrow, then the Huayra. The three of them came to a stop and the Huayra driver stepped out of his car.

It wasn't anybody he recognized, but he helped Royal out, so this guy was cool in his book.

The driver walked over to Royal's Supra and knocked on the window, which Royal rolled down. "You're Royal, right?"

"Pretty sure I am, yeah." Royal replied jokingly.

"I'm with the Samurai. The Boss wants to meet you in person, says he's got somethin' big planned." He said, before turning to Qrow. "That goes for you too, and all the other members of Rogue Speed... Oh! But not big like bad, no, you'll definitely like what he has planned." He adds, dismissing the accidental menacing implications.

"Anyway, he wants you to meet him in a couple months. He's extremely busy right now, but once it's ready, we'll be in touch. Keep an eye out for our insignia. We're around, just gotta know where to look." He said, handing Royal a note with three-barred cross drawn on it... One which seemed vaguely familiar...

The other racers eventually blew past, not bothering to stop seeing as they knew they lost, except for Karol, Coconut, and Evelyn.

Evelyn stepped out of her car with a grin. "To the Victor goes the spoils." She said, handing him the duffel bag, which thankfully still had the money in it.

Next, Cross rolled up.

"Hey Royal, still causing trouble I see. And Evelyn, it's been a while." Cross said.

Evelyn playfully blew him a kiss.

"So, you said you hired somebody? Why ain't you brought them by the station yet?" Cross asked.

"Oh shit. Slipped my mind." Royal said.

"You know my brother, right Cross?" Evelyn asked.

Qrow stepped out of his Camaro.

"Hello." Qrow greeted Cross.

"Yeah I remember. I'm sure McManus would be proud. Ex Military, car that rivals the best and runs circles around the rest." Cross said.

"We'll send an officer by to drop off your badge." Cross added.

Just then, Cross got a phonecall.

"Shit, gotta go." Cross said, jumping in his car and flying off with his lights and siren on.

Qrow turned to Royal. "Alright then. Time to head home, Hana's probably worried sick if she's not asleep." Qrow said.

At that, they headed back to the Mansion.

Hana was in the living room, looking like she was about to pass out. "Oh thank God, I was so worried something might happen..." She started to say.

"Relax, hun, I told you everything would be fine. On top of that, we turned 2 million Yen into 230 million Yen. But for now, you look like you're about to collapse, let's get you to bed, sweetie..." Qrow said, walking over and effortlessly scooping up Hana, carrying her to bed. Everyone else also went to sleep shortly after.
