Speed, Passion and Intensity

Prelude

Hi everyone. I own nothing except for my character. I simply love the series and want to share my vision with all you :)

"I'm going to miss you so much," Elizabeth wiped away the tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Shit," laughing through her tears, "I promised I wouldn't cry."
Elizabeth hugged Makita tightly, knowing the next time they see each other might be years from now.

Makita away her own tears, and hugged her back just as tightly, not wanting to let her go, but knowing she had to.
"You can come visit me any time. You don't even need to call. Just show up."

"I will. England isn't the same without you. I'm probably going to head back home to the States once I settle the lease to my flat," Elizabeth gave Makita one last big hug and held her away from her, inspecting Makita before their farewell.
"You look like shit,"

Makita laughed through her tears, "thanks asshole. I'll hold you to what you said and will expect you at my new place in the next few months. I'll email you the address once I settle down."

"You better. Or else I'll go to your uncle's tofu shop and ask for your address."

"He already knows about you. If you're going for shock value, it's not going to work. Nothing shocks that man." Makita smiled fondly, thinking of her beloved uncle Bunta.

"Not even your driving?" Elizabeth asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Who do you think taught me how drive?" Makita laughed at Elizabeth's shocked expression.
"I drive like a granny compared him."

The speakers above the boarding plateforme for the next flight to Japan in Heathrow airport announced the boarding of passengers.

"Sounds like you're looking forward to the street racing scene again. Please be careful, and send me pictures of that hot car you keep telling me about."
Elizabeth smiled, grabbed the handle to Makita's carry-on and looped her arm through Makita's as they walked to the gate.

"I will. Uncle Bunta told me he's been starting her up every now and then to keep the engine from gumming up. I can't wait to see her and ride her up Mount Alina again."

"It's a good thing I know what you're talking about," Makita laughed and Elizabeth's jab.

Elizabeth handed her the handle to her carry-on, hugged her one last time and kissed her cheek,
"See you soon Mack. I promise you that."

"See you soon Liz. I'll hold you to it."

Makita boarded the plane back to Japan with a feeling of sadness but excitement at the same time. From what she heard from her uncle Bunta, Takumi had made quite a name for himself in the expeditionary team he raced for.
Time to see if Gunma remembered its blood red GTR R34 Z- Tune.
