"Tell ya what.. I have another surprise for you.. lets go for a ride ya?" Part of the fun of being such an asshole was that you often got people to do what you wanted, and well he had an idea that might just get them to a place where they could REALLY crank the speed up in this baby, after all 1500 Horse Power was useless unless you were tearing it up on a speedway. He would have pulled those keys out and walked right over and opened the door after turning the alarm off. He hopped in and shut the door back, waving for her to come on. The inside of the car had changed drastically since she had seen it last. The drivers side looked like something out of a star ship movies, it was slunk back alot more then your average seat would go thanks to Hiroko's size, and that steering wheel came out a little more then usual as well. Once he got in he slipped up a dark blue seal and it came all the way back flipping a switch on its way back and causing what looked like the switches of an airplane, but were made to keep track of the engines temperature, NOS, GAS, RPM, Torque all of the vital signs of the car basicalls displayed in LED as a normal dial guage just would not do it in this car. One the passenger side the seat was made to put the person sitting in it in heaven. The car was a rolling house on wheels for all purposes, and the best part was, the shit was powered by batteries which ran through super resistors, essentially making it so almost no power was taken away from the batteries which were set up in the trunk.

Kate smirked as Hiroko waved her on. Opening the door, she slid into the seat with an eyebrow lifted. The inside had changed, he had either done the work himself or had it done. Rolling her shoulders, she sat back to enjoy the ride. They'd have to end up back at the club so she could pick up her car later. No way in hell would she not get her baby back safely to her house.
"I tend to dislike suprises...but for an old friend, I guess I'll manage."
She looked over at him, chin raised, eyes narrowed slightly. Smug. Kate looked smug. Sure, he was leading this whole thing, calling the shots...but Kate had a few up her sleeve as well. And she wasn't beyond doing a few of them. Her smirk widened for just a moment before her face returned to "normal". Just a normal smirk, bright eyes looking forward to see where they were going.
Kate pulled her braid over her shoulder before undoing the thing. Now that they were out of the club, there was no reason to keep it out of the way. It had grown in the months since Mathew had chopped it almost all the way off, and she loved her hair. Women's crowning glory or something. Where the hell had she heard that? Pft. Oh well, fast car ride. That was all she cared about.

He waited on her to get settled and flipped the LEDs on and tweaked the batteries on in the back, letting them charge the resistors before he released them back and then she would have seen the dashboard infront of her begin to glow slightly. He reached over her lap and pulled the door down so that that glow leaked out a bit, and then pulled the top half up and over revealing three screens lined up to one another to make a single picture which was seamless. "Mm. Works on the same band as most police computers work on, only difference is you cant get into their files. " He said with a smug little smirk of his own and settled back. I use it to alter the cars onboard computer as well, but that file is on disk. " He said and would have slipped his harness over. This was his baby. The glass had been made bulletproof and THEN lamenated ontop of that to prevent it from shattering to pieces even when an impact was harsh, as well as a titanium roll bar. This car was pretty much a rolling winning lotto ticket, but that was neither here no there.

Kate slipped on her own safety straps, and waited for Hiroko to start the car. It had been a long time since she had last sat in this seat. A small smile came to her lips.
"Remember that black ferret? I still have him. Fat, lazy thing...Damon is. Stays in my room sleepin and eating all the time. Attacks anyone who comes into my room if he's out of his cage though. Funny shit really."
Hiroko had been the one to help pick out her pet. He had been a lean, feisty little thing. Only calming down when Hiroko had held him, scratching up Kate's arms. He had grown to love Kate though, and was always trying to get in the way when she was reading or drawing. Damon was an attention whore.

"Wow. I remember that thing I figure he would have taken some fingers off by now. " He said with a bit of a laugh and just shook his head, kicking that car over after slipping the key in and shifting it into reverse, causing those massive wheels to squeel for a moment before jerking them back quick, only to have him slam on that wheel while switching it back into drive and up to second, hurling off into the street in a slide before taking off towards the docks which were nearest to the speedway he was heading to.
"Good thing I guess though, its nice to have something like that around. Zaro is running free in an alaskian sanctuary. " He said with a smile and kicked it over into third as those wheels screamed against the black top, yet there didnt seem to be any shift shock, and the pull was isolated so that they kept at the speed the car was moving rather then leaving their guts behind. It wouldnt get that bad until they started hitting 200 and more.

The speed. Kate loved it. A grin spread across her glossed lips. Though honestly a bit of that gloss was smudged thanks to the kisses. The stuff never lasted like it said it would. But her thoughts went to the white fox she had adored in her younger high school days.
"She's happy then. I really loved her."
So warm, and friendly. Like Kate had been really. Positively beautiful...though Kate didn't think she was that at all. A little sad that she didn't get to see her again, but if it was for the better, then it was for the better.
Her bright eyes closed for a moment as she just enjoyed the ride, the speed. Her muscles were relaxed, though if they went any faster...it'd be interesting. She hadn't gone any faster in awhile. This...was another thing to add onto her list of fun things to do. Men, vodka, fast cars. What a life.

Sadly, Hiroko had always despised alcohol, which is ironic given he was drinking to forget most things. Now though the focus was on that car. A shift and that wheel was forced around into a full turn as they slid along a corner, part of the reason so much weight had been shifted into the bottom of the car and the top having weight taken off, not even an inch was taken to the air. Instead it stayed planted firmly on the ground even with that speed. He shifted it back up into third after it had straightened out and knocked it up a even higher notch, flooring that pedal and watching it fly by the cars on the sides of the streets as if they were nothing but a blur. The large race track was coming up ahead. There they could REALLY let it loose.
"It was for the best, as now she is back with her family, something I had been meaning to do since I found the little thing. She was cute but she didnt belong down here, especially not in a climate like Californias. " He said with a chuckle, and began to slow down a little as he got closer and closer, making sure to keep his pace steady even as it slowed. "Mm.. this should be fun. I have not really let this puppy out since I increased the Torque, the RPM's are supposed to be insane though. At least thats what I was told . "

"And I'll make sure to puke out the window when my stomach suddenly twists into a knot to the point where no boy scout could undo it."
A grin, Kate liked making jokes. Truly though, this would probably give her a rush. And make her stomach do more flips than the most highly trained acrobat. But she was trying to be ready for it.
Her thoughts kept going back to her and Hiroko, walking through the mall. Riding in this car, the one real talk they had had before. So much had changed. Back then, she had always thought that he was too far to reach, just like Farren. Hiroko had always kept a respectable distance from her, and spoken politely. This Hiroko had gotten as close as he could in a public place, and seemed to enjoy the thrill of things. For some odd reason, she liked this Hiroko better. More of her type of man.

"Good. Lets play then shall we?" He asked and pulled that car up, pausing it at the security entrance, looking to the guard working the gate. He waved him over and rolled down the window. "Mm. Sup Chris. You remember me right?" He asked and the guard just swallowed slightly and nodded. "Good. Go open the gate." He said with rolling that window back up and a loud click was heard before that gate began to draw to the side and Hiroko just reved the car up while keeping his foot on the break causing those wheels to squeel ever so slightly. Another moment, and then he released it screeching inside. The security entrance had a straight away to the track and was used to get ambulances and fire crew inside.
He would have powered it as much as he could and then slammed that wheel once more, causing the car to screech again, the back swinging out a little too much but he caught that by hitting the breaks and turning the wheel back the other way before slamming foot right back down on the pedal and taking off on up that straight away, nearing the curve at an increasing pace. A banked curve which was hardly a turn at normal speeds, but the faster you went, the more fun it got didnt it?

"What did you do to hi--"
She was cut off as Hiroko hit the gas. Her eyes went wide, as they had so many years ago. How old has she been? 15? Right. Both her hands clung to the seat beneath her, and the blonde couldn't be happier with the fact she was wearing that safety souped up version of a seat belt.
And they only kept increasing in speed. Kate didn't speak, didn't do anything but concentrate on the up coming turn and the fact Hiroko wasn't slowing down. She hadn't been at this speed before. After she got over the shock, she'd love it. But until then, her bright green eyes were as wide and round as they would go. Not to mention her hair was getting plastered everywhere. Maybe she should have left it in a braid.

He lookedo ver at her for a moment and smirked, letting that those hands come up so he let go of the wheel, the car slightly shaking but it didnt pull out of the way, instead he slammed the handle of that shifting gear forwards even more as he shifted between break and gas and then he was gone off in fourth gear, the speedometer already flying up past 201, 202, 203, 204.. it just kept rising over and over, as he came into that corner at an angle causing him to come out on the edge of the track as he came around, and he never let up on that gas pedal, forcing it more and more as he looked over at her, the body had been reinforced to take such speeds, but this was just nearing stock car maxes, nothing new, it had been done easily. The fact was this baby could pull more out of its ass and he wanted to see it. He also wanted to see the look on that face of hers.

Shock. It lasted only for a few moments longer before she calmed down. Her eyes closed, and a smile spread on her lips again. Fun. Pure fun. Laughter poured out of her for a few moments, before she let out a hoot with all she had in her.
After her yell, she'd merely look over at Hiroko. Kate trusted him completely in this, not afraid that they would crash. Her bright eyes were twinkling, and that smile on her face showed how much she enjoyed this. The thrill of it all. She'd become addicted to this quickly, if he kept taking her here. Enjoy every moment. For awhile, she was the Kate she use to be. Enjoying life for what it was, not being held back with all that had happened to her. Maybe, just maybe, Hiroko could bring that old Kate back.

Hearing her hoots and laughter just got a smile on his lips and a shiver up his spine, causing him to shift up to the fifth and final gear, at this point the speedometer was flickering back and fourth between 249 and 250, meaning the speed had been cranked up by the torque alone 10 miles, which wasnt all that bad when you started getting up to those kind of speeds. He just layed back in that seat until he came towards the next curve to which he just came in at the same angle, flying around it with minimal slidding thanks to those gripping tires and watched her rom the corner of his eyes knowing well she was enjoying this.

The smile stayed there as they continued around the track. Her eyes went back to staring straight forward, watching the curve come. Her body wasn't fighting what was going on, and she damned well had never gone this fast. She just kept staring, that smile never changing.
But her eyes slid back to Hiroko. Kate would have to thank him for this later, as she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Just laughed a bit again. Her eyes closed, and she leaned fully back in her seat. Enjoy every moment of life. Isn't that what she had told him three years ago? About how she wanted to live? Maybe they weren't the same exact words, but Kate was sure that it was close. Wait...live every moment to the fullest. How innocent she had been...and yet, here she was, doing just that.

He looked over at her once more as he passed that curve, heading into the straightaway, and he would have leaned, keeping one hand steady on the wheel while his foot steady on the pedal. Instead he leaned and pulled her over towards him and kissed her right on the lips, just for a moment before his body slipped back into its own chair, the seatbelts were made to lock in a jolt, but until they did they were comfortable. He looked back forwards and hit the brakes suddenly, the weight of that car helping in it as he powered it back and began to turn the car into a slight donut before he shifted it right back in gear and took off, turning into the curve, part of the fun of such a heavy car, it helped to stabilize it, unlike those thing little shitty ricer cars, making them a pain in the ass.
