A street racer and a cafe

Ch.12 gold and Himari meet the crew

"Hey if you ever want a place to hang out, me and a bunch of racers stay at this cafe in town across from the Chinese restaurant." Ox said handing Gold a business card.

"Thanks, I'll check it out tomorrow, I have to get home to my Neko before she gets lonely." Gold says

"Oh you have a Neko too? Ox asked

"Yeah, she's a racer like me, I'll bring her with me tomorrow so she can meet you and your friends." Gold says as he gets in his car and drives off.

Ox gets back in his 180SX and drives back to the bakery.

*The next day*

Royal's point of view

I sat on the end of my Supra and lit a cigarette, I never really smoked, but then again I never had a place to buy then either, I saw Ox walk over and lean against his 180.

"When did you start smoking?" He asked

"I always did, I just never had the time to buy any." I replied

Ox glanced at the street then back to his car then back to the street, repeatedly before I spoke up.

"You waiting on something, you keep looking at the street." I asked

"Waiting on someone I met last night while drifting."

I looked over and saw a silver s2k park across from us, "That him?" I asked

"Yep, thats him, he's also the guy I beat down the mountain." Ox said

Gold walked over.

"Gold, what's up man?"

"Not much, you?" Gold replied

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself last night, my names Ox."

"Nice to meet you."

"And this is Royal." Ox said

I took the cigarette from my mouth and blew the smoke out. "Why don't I save you the trouble and smoke that Honda right now.........relax Gold I'm just messing with you." I say

"I beat you anyways." Gold said

"This Supra is packing 1,460 horse power, what's that s2k got, 6, 7 hundred at the most, you'd get busses pulled on you." I say taking a drag on my cigarette and blowing the smoke out.

I felt a light tap to the back of my head and turned to see Vanilla standing there.

"Rude, I drive a Honda too you know." Vanilla said in her usual quiet tone

"I was only joking Vanilla, damn."

Vanilla giggled and smiled, something many of us rarely saw from her "I know, I was only kidding Royal." Sje said happily.

"Is she your neko Royal?" Gold asked.

"No, she's one of Kashous, he owns the cafe." I say

"Kashou-sama takes good care of my sister and I." Vanilla said before returning to the garage to work on her Civic.

"Speaking of neko's, wasn't yours supposed to come with you Gold?" Ox asked.

"Yeah, she should be here by now." Gold replied. A few minutes passed and a dark grey Evo 8 with red rims drove into the parking lot. "There she is." Gold said.

The girl stepped out of the car, her long black hair flowing freely in the light breeze, she wore a crimson red top with long sleeves accompanied by a black skirt that reached her knees, all fashioned with two white cat ears on he head and a white tail which hiked up he skirt slightly. She soon walked over to us.

"Guys, this is Himari, himari this is Ox and Royal."

"Hey." Ox and I said simultaneously

"Nice to meet you both." Himari says.

"Well, you guys are welcome to come inside and meet the rest of the crew." I say.

"Sounds great Himari said."

"The rest are all neko's except for Kashou." Ox said.

Ox and I lead them inside the cafe and introduced them to the others, I never thought that they'd get along so well, here we were welcoming two new faces into our slowly growing racer family.
