XXXXXXChapter 5XXXXXXX

 

            Sesshomaru pulled his BMW up to a line marked by two flares on either side of the road next to a customized Dodge Viper SRT 10. Beyond the Viper were a Porsche Carrera GT and a Mazda RX-7. The Viper was metallic red with two white stripes running from the headlights to the taillights, had a custom hood, body kit and spoiler along with red tinted windows. The Porsche was silver with a full body deep purple vinyl that covered the rear half of the car and extended along the doors and hood of the car in a series of crescent patterns, along with a custom body kit, hood and spoiler. The RX-7 had a metallic forest green paint job and a set of light green and black vinyls that ran the length of the car in addition to green window tint, a custom body kit, and spoiler.

 

            As Kagura stepped out of the car she could see that way more people than she ever expected had arrived to see this event. It seemed to her like every street racer plus their grandmothers were here to see this event. "Hey, Sesshomaru," the ruby eyed maiden called out, trying to get the man's attention. "Who are you racing tonight?"

 

            The white haired man let out a sigh, not really wanting to explain things. "I'm racing with the other three leaders in the city. Each of them leads a group of street racers who are also here." Sesshomaru's words seemed monotonous and lacked any real enthusiasm as he continued, "The one driving the Viper is my fucking bastard of a brother, Inuyasha. He's standing over there with his little group of rejects," he stated, pointing over to another white haired man who was dressed in a red leather jacket and pants of a matching color. "Find the rest out for yourself."

            "Fine, you asshole," Kagura said with a huff as she stormed over to the one who had been pointed out to be Inuyasha. As the young woman neared she could make out two other people beside the white haired youth who she assumed to be in his group along with two cars a bit behind them.

 

The fist person was a young brunette woman with brown eyes who looked to be about the same age as Kagura. She was sitting on the hood of a 2006 Pontiac GTO, which had a slightly pinkish-purple paint job with a teal vinyl that ran from the top of her front tire wells along the doors and cut up in an elegant curve halfway through the backseat windows to cut across the hood about an inch above the rear windshield. The car, like almost every other one here, had a custom body kit and spoiler along with custom rims.

 

            The other person beside Inuyasha was a young man with black hair who looked to be a bit older than Kagura. He was leaning against a 2006 Mitsubishi eclipse, which had a custom body kit that accented the cars curves further and a single wing spoiler. The car's paint job was a metallic blue with a vinyl that covered the front bumper and quickly narrowed into a single stripe that ran the length of the car about halfway up the hood of the car. The Eclipse also had a special hood and dark blue tinted windows.

 

            "Hi," the ruby eye woman greeted as she pushed her way through the last of the crowd around the group. As she looked at the three, she took in their appearances fully. The brunette had been wearing a tight pinkish top and a green skirt that accented the top rather well along with black leather boots that went to about mid-shin. The black haired man had dark blue eyes and was wearing a black jacket with a dark blue shirt underneath and denim jeans.

 

            "Just who the hell are you?" the white haired man asked as he turned to face Kagura, glaring at her with his golden eyes. "And what do you want?"

            "Now, now Inuyasha is that a way to treat a lady?" the black-haired man questioned as he pushed past his friend and grabbed the maiden’s hand. "My name is Miroku and what might yours be?"

 

            "Kagura," the ebony-haired woman responded dully, pulling her hand back and leering at this "Miroku" character. "I'm kind of new to the city and was told that you guys could help me figure out who else is here."

 

            "Well, Kagura," the other woman began, giving the man called Miroku a glare which made him back off a bit. "My name is Sango, and the white-haired grump there is Inuyasha." She jabbed her thumb at the red clad man as she spoke.

            "Well, yeah, Sesshoumaru told me that already," the raven haired woman stated, not thinking about the fact that she was basically racing for Sesshoumaru and he was racing against Inuyasha. "He told me to come over here, too."

            "To what? Try and get me to quit the race? Fat chance," Inuyasha interrupted, growling at the woman. "If so, you can tell him to shove his Exotic POS where the sun don't shine!"

 

            "What the hell makes you think I'm his messenger or that I even like your bastard of a brother!" the woman spat as she got in the man's face. "For your information the only reason I'm racing for him is because I trashed his Mercedes and he's making me pay for it!"

            "Wait, you're the dumb broad that trashed his Benz? I'm beginning to like you already," the silver haired man chuckled as he took a few steps back and leaned against the blue Eclipse. "Wait, wait, aren’t you also the moron that almost killed herself the other night in that POS Neon?"

            "That's a bit uncalled for," Sango stated, holding a hand in front of her mouth to keep herself from chuckling. "I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason for all of that."

            "Damn right there is!" Kagura replied as she stomped her foot on the ground. "I totaled my Eclipse and his Benz because a pair of Civics smashed me straight into his car. And I almost totaled that POS Neon 'cause something is wrong with it, so it goes flying out of control when it hits high speeds."

 

            "That sounds rather reasonable," Miroku responded as he walked in between Kagura and Inuyasha. "Now as for everyone else here, there are two other major racing groups here tonight. The first group is the Shinchinintai led by Bankotsu, who is racing the Porsche," the dark haired man spoke, pointing to a group of racers gathered around a metallic purple Lotus Elise and a dark blue Cadillac CTS.

 

            "He races with two other members from his group named Jakotsu and Suikotsu," Sango added, pointing out the three. Bankotsu was a shorter black haired man who looked to be in his early twenties wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. Jakotsu was a tall effeminate looking man with black hair and lipstick on who was wearing a gaudy yellow outfit. Suikotsu was the most normal looking out of all three of the freaks. He had short brown hair that he let fall messily around his face and was wearing a blue t-shirt and blue jeans. "The other supposed four members of the group are supposed to be the mechanics but not many have seen them."

            "And the other group?" Kagura asked looking back at the brunette woman. "Who are they?"

            "They're Kouga's Wolf pack," Inuyasha scoffed, jerking his head to the right and gesturing to apparently a fighting couple standing in front of a customized green '06 Mustang GT. The woman had bright red hair that she wore in puffy pigtails. She was wearing a white tank top and a white plaid mini-skirt. The man had black hair that he kept in a ponytail coming out of the back of his head similar to Kagura's hair style, and he was wearing a black t-shirt and brown pants.

 

            "The woman is Ayame and the man is Kouga," Miroku stated as he leaned against his Eclipse. "And it seems that right now they're having a lover's spat."

            "That's evident," Kagura returned as she crossed her arms over her chest. "So what about these other people?" Kagura asked, looking around and seeing a red and white Mazda RX-8 in the distance and a black Toyota Supra across the road closer to the Shinchinintai.

 

            "Basically," Inuyasha began, seeming a bit annoyed with something though Kagura couldn’t tell just what. "Speaking of the race, we should be starting soon." With those words the golden-eyed man ran to his car and jumped inside, turning it on with a roar. Upon hearing the roar of the Viper's engine the other three drivers got into their respective cars, each one roaring.

 

            "Hey can we get someone to count us down!!" Inuyasha shouted over the engines. There were several murmurs before Kagura let out a sigh and stepped forward just wanting to get this whole thing over with. She walked forward and stood before the group of cars in between the second and third car. Slowly she raised her arms, the drivers revving their engines in anticipation. After a few seconds of waiting she threw her arms down, the drivers shifting into first gear and flying off the line. Inuyasha actually had so much power going on in his car that it jacked up and did a wheelie a good two or three hundred feet off the line until the front tires dropped to the earth. Kagura took a few deep breaths having just nearly been run over by two of the drivers as they went flying down the road.

 

            It was a few moments before Kagura realized that Sango was trying to shake her out of her daze. "Hey, come on," the brunette said, dragging the raven-haired woman over to her GTO and pushing her in the car. "We have to get the hell out of here before the cops show."

 

            "Oh, right," Kagura replied, trying to get the ringing in her ears to stop as she shut the door to the car and buckled in. "Can you take me to Totosai's garage?"

            "Sure," Sango agreed as she tore down the road towards the old dingy garage. "Did you happen to bet on anyone?"

            "Don’t really have the cash to," the red eyed woman stated, gazing out the window. "Not sure I'd want to either because all of the cars look great and I don’t know jack about the drivers."

            "Well, that's a smart move," the brown-eyed woman said with a smile before she saw a red and blue flash in her rear view mirror. "Shit!" she growled as she gunned it down the road flinging her car around a corner. "Looks like we're going for a ride."

 

            "Great, just fucking great. Not two days in the city and I'm going to get arrested and I didn’t even do anything!!" the ruby-eyed woman shouted, knowing she couldn’t jump out of the car at the speed it was going. "I'm totally fucked!"

            "Kagura, shut your yap, because I'm sure as hell am not getting arrested," Sango growled as she drove her car into a construction site, knocking down a few scaffoldings as she went to block the police car in. As she flew out of the construction site the GTO was almost t-boned by another cop car.

            "Do you know how to freaking get rid of them?" Kagura shouted as she gripped the sides of her seat. "Duck down an alley, drive into a packing garage, do SOMETHING!"

 

            "I'm doing it!" the other woman yelled as she jerked up on the hand break, drifting around a bend into a baseball field parking lot and crashing through the gates. Sango hit her Nitrous, smashing out the bottom of a larger gate and causing it to crash behind them before she flew out of the other side and across the street into a dark alley. At the end of the alley, the brunette drove into a garage and shut the car off.

 

            "This is my safe house," Sango breathed out as she unbuckled herself and opened the door of her car. "You can crash here for the night."

 

            "Well that's fine. Do you have any…" Kagura trailed off, seemingly lost in thought before exclaiming, "Crap! I freaking forgot my groceries in my car!"

            "Well, that kind of sucks," the brunette said with a bit of a chuckle. "But, hell, at least you can buy more. Anyways, let's get some sleep."

            "Yeah," Kagura agreed with a sigh as the other woman led her into the inside of the safe house.

Ok that's chapter five. I know not a lot of actual story development happened but this chapter was mainly to introduce characters that will be used later in the story. I tried to add in a bit of race action there at the end with Sango running from the cops so I hope everyone liked it. Once again thanks to all reviewers and Kagura615 for beta-ing
