Chapter 6.5 - Wait. . . What?!
"Th. . . That's what reminded you?".
The tears from Ryou's eyes began to clear up. He began laughing.
"Heh heh, I remember now. Ah. . . The days of High School. . ."
"Yeah, you changed my life during High School. . . Those were the nice 2 1/2 years of High School I had with you."
"Yeah. . . You brightened up my life."
The Mira arrived at the repair shop.
"You want this car repaired?". said the repair man.
"Yes, please do."
"Sure, just let me. . . Oh. . . Oh my. . ."
"What? What is it?!"
"Your car's engine is heavily damaged. The axle is bent, and many other things, this car is under major interior and technical damage, you'll have to. . . Get a new car. . ."
"Wait. . . What?!"
"Not forever though, just until I find new parts, besides, this car is pretty old, it will take awhile to get parts. I'm terribly sorry."
"But wait, how did my Mira get such damage, I fixed it awhile back!"
"Did you change the oil and fully check the engine, also change the axle?"
"I'm not sure."
"Well, I guess how it got damaged so much is unknown. Sorry, but for now, you must get a new car."
"O. . .Okay. . ."
Ryou walked out of the repair shop, gazing down at the floor.
"DAMN IT!", he yelled, as he hit the wall.
Maki rushed out.
"Ryou! Stop!"
"Why should I?! I should be ashamed! I ruined my car I've been dreaming for!"
He hit the wall again.
"Stop! You'll hurt yourself!"
"I don't care. I hate myself, I did such an idiotic thing, to think I thought Akira was more amusing, and I wrecked my car try to show off like an asshole. . ."
"Please, stop!"
Maki began to cry a bit.
"Huh? She's crying, I didn't mean to. . ."
Ryou snapped out of it.
"Maki! Are you okay?!"
"R. . . R. . . Ryou. P. . . Please come with me. I. . . I. . . Have to show you something."
"Huh? Okay. . ."
Maki got up, although still a bit sad, she called for the nearest taxi.
"Aiko! Get out here! We're going somewhere!"
Aiko came out, and she was too, crying. . .
Sorry, it was a tad rushed.
"Th. . . That's what reminded you?".
The tears from Ryou's eyes began to clear up. He began laughing.

Chapter 7 - A Slowly Day
"Aiko? Why are you crying."
She began crying, and cried even more once Ryou asked.
"R. . . R. . . Ryou!"
"Aiko? What is it! Please tell me."
She still cried, Ryou was a bit freaked out.
"Answer me Aiko! Please, I care about you."
"I. . . I. . . I'm sorry. . ."
"For what?"
"Ruining your Mira!"
Ryou's eyes opened wide, and he remained silent for a few seconds. It then began to rain, then Ryou stopped from spacing out.
"You? Why would you?!"
"I'm so sorry! Very sorry!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ryou was surprised by the story she told.
"So when we were watching movies, and things, waiting to race later, you took a drive in my Mira?"
"Yes."
"And then you met Akira, and he asked if he could see the Mira for about 15 minutes?"
"Yes! I was such an idiot!"
She began crying more.
That :censored:ing little bastard! You're not an idiot, Aiko. Akira's the idiot here, messing with my Mira. . . No wonder it handled weird when I was racing."
"Ryou, the Taxi is here."
"Ah, come on, Aiko, before you get sick from the rain."
They got in the Taxi, and Ryou got out a small towel, and dried off Aiko. She was still crying and wouldn't stop.
"Aiko?. . . Are you okay? Please, stop crying, it's okay, you're my younger sister, I would never get furious with you."
She began to clear her sadness, a bit. A song began to play on the radio, Clair De Lune, on the Violin. Ryou was amazed by how well it matched the moment, rain, sadness, etc.
"So, what was it you wanted to show me, Maki. . . Chan."
"Chan? Chan?"
That reminded her of the old days at school. She then snapped out of it.
"Oh! You'll see when we get there."
They drove for awhile, and talked. Aiko kept staring into the sky.
"Aiko, is something else troubling you?"
"No. . . Maybe I'm just. . . tired."
"Chauffeur, please stop here. I need to do something, so stay. . . Ryou, please follow me."
"Ah, okay, Aiko, stay here please."
Best for the moment.
Ryou followed Maki out of the car, and as they left, Aiko continued staring into the sky, she then put her head down, cried a tad, opened the door, then ran away.
"Hey, come back!", said the Chauffeur, but he couldn't stop her.
---------------------------------------------------
"Ryou, open your eyes."
"Huh?!"
He saw their old school. It was still in great condition, and even looked nice throughout the rain.
"This is. . . Our old school. . ."
"Yes, it is. Where we spent time together, watching cars pass by on the roof.
Ryou began to space out, and remember the moment, along with what the school looks like, without rain.
Takishida!
He stopped spacing out.
"I just had a flashback, of when you first called my name. . . Remember, that day?"
Then Maki spaced out for a quick second.
We-Were you stalking me the whole time?!
"Maki, you there?"
"Huh?! Yeah."
"Maki-Chan. . . Are you having flashbacks too?
"Yes, Ryou."
"This school is so nice."
"Want to go inside?"
"Huh, it's unlocked?"
"Heh, not really, but I know a guy."
She went over, and opened the door.
"The first floor, it's still in very nice condition."
They passed by classrooms, and walked through the halls.
"Hey, look!"
She looked inside one of the classrooms.
"This was my homeroom as a 1st year!"
She looked inside to see if it still had what she left, and it was there still there, a photo that she took, and the teacher admired it. Therefore, the teacher hung it on the wall, and it's still there.
"That picture was my favorite, I simply adored cherry blossoms back then."
"Yeah, it's very nice."
They headed to the second floor.
"This hall. . . The hall where we met. . ."
"Yeah, this hall was my favorite.
They took a look at all the classrooms, and found all of Ryou's old seats, that he never sat in.
"Heh, you always skipped classes."
"Yeah, I did."
They then looked around the rest of school, and they reached the roof.
"This place. . ."
That Panda Car?, Ryou remembered what she said that day.
Ryou went over to the bench he always lied on, and slept on.
"This bench, it was basically my couch during school. Heh"
"Yeah."
As they were walking to the stairs, to head back down, Ryou remembered,
But you're only 16, you have to be 18 for a drivers license!
"Hey Maki-Chan. . ."
"Yeah?"
"Do you. . . Miss the old days?"
"Uh. . . Uh. . . Yeah, I do."
"Most of all, do you. . . Miss the FC?"
"Y. . . Yes. It brought us many joy throughout the school days."
"Damn it. . ."
"What?"
"I never should of let my parents take the FC, when they moved, and left me and Aiko alone. . . They asked, 'Which one? The FC? Or the AZ-1?', I said the AZ-1, and then they left, with the FC. . ."
"Oh, umm, let's head out to the Taxi, your going to get sick from the rain."
"Okay. . ."
Ryou walked down the stairs, looking depressed. The words swaying in his mind, of his memories in the FC.
--------------------------------------------------------------
As they walked back to the Taxi, they saw the chauffeur with a frightened look, and no-one in the rear.
"Where's Aiko?!"
"Terribly, terribly sorry sir."
"What?! Tell me"
"Well, she had a freak-out and began crying. She then opened the door, and ran away. I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't stop. . ."
"What?. . . What??. . . What??!!."
"Ryou, calm down."
"AIKOOOOOOOO!!!"
He yelled so loud into the cloudy sky.
"Ryou!"
She dragged him into the car.
"Please, take us to our home in Kyoto-Gion!"
He did what he was told.
------------------------------------------------------------
As they got home, they stepped inside, and Ryou cooled off a bit, until he heard a loud crying.
"That's Aiko's cry when she's scared or nervous. . . Wait, Aiko!"
He ran up the stairs to her room, where they saw her on the bed, crying.
"Ryou. . . Ryou. . . Here."
She handed him the laptop, where Ryou read the article.
"Huh? 18 year old killed in a car crash? She was driving home when this. . ."
2 Minutes Later
"I get this is sad, but what worries you?"
"She was my best friend! She helped me through everything, got me through everything, and liked me as a friend. . . I knew her since Kindergarten. . ."
"Oh, I'm sorry Aiko. . . Let's go play some GT5 and cheer you up. . ."
"Oh, okay. . ."
--------------------------------------------------------------
As they got on GT5, after Ryou calmed down Aiko, first thing Ryou aimed for, was his FC. . .
"FC? Why?"
"I love this car. . . I love it so. . ."
"Ah, that's a very nice car."
Maki said with a smile, as she walked toward the couch, drinking coffee.
"Wait a minute, I've just struck an idea. . ."
"That is?"
"A FC. . . We're going to get an FC for the Mira's replacement!"
"Ah, that's a great idea!"
"Yeah, it is."
They kept talking about the FC.
"Hey Ryou, the game. . ."
"Oh yeah! C'mon Aiko, let's race."
He said, as he stared into the sky, with a faint smile, thinking about the FC that he will get. . .
Rather small chapter, but I needed to release one!

I've done a bit of digging around, and I've noticed that a lot of the names seem to be from Clannad. Then again, I've taken some inspiration for names from Initial D (Miki being an obvious example, for equally obvious reasons).

Hmm? You found out? Well not as much are possibly what you think.
Ryou - Thought out before I ever watched Clannad
Maki - Liked the name
Tomoya - Yup, Clannad
Aiko - Liked the name
Kenshin - Random, just liked the name
Daiki - Random name I liked (Daiki Kasho?)
Arata - Random
Masaru - Random
Ren - Random
Akira - Random
So, I think I got only, one, from Clannad.
Edit - There is a tad of a hint in Maki's last name,
Tomoya Okazaki

Chapter 8 - Rotary Inbound
May 7th, 7:42 AM, Kyoto-Gion
Best for the moment, until the dashes.
It was a beautiful vehicle. . . White, sleek, aerodynamically made body. It was the car I loved. . . The FC. It brought many joy to me, and I had always loved it. . . Just recently, as Maki-Chan came back, she told me the past, then suddenly, everything hit me. . . What did I do? Why did I leave the FC with my father? The car I loved so much, I let go. . . I've been thinking now, and I must answer all these questions. With my Mira gone, I had no reason to race anymore, but now, I know. . . FC. . . The car I should get once again. . . The car that I should keep with me. It was my favorite car, but what exactly happened? Why did I decide to trash the idea of getting another FC as my dad left? These questions, I must answer them. . . I must. . .
------------------------------------------------------------
The clock began to rang, I got up. 7:43 it read.
"Huh? I sure woke up early. . . Guess I forgot to set a different time as I got home. Anyways, today I'm getting an FC3S, all I could do at least is have sense of happiness."
As I walked downstairs, someone was standing by the stove.
"Good morning Ryou!"
It was just Maki.
"Ah. Good morning."
She handed me a coffee, and a laptop.
"Uhh? Am I supposed to eat the laptop?"
"No. . . Open it up, take a look!"
I opened it up, and something caught my eyes.
"FC for sale, in Kyoto-Shoren-in! Only 240,740.64 Yen! This is a great deal!"
"Yeah, it looked like a nice deal. So, what do you say we go buy it at around 2 PM?"
"Huh? Oh. That sounds nice, 2 AM it is."
It's what I've been waiting for, the FC. . . I finally can obtain it again.
"So, is uh. . . Aiko awake?"
"Huh? No."
"Oh. . . Okay then. Want to watch some Le Mans I recorded with me?"
"Sure."
We watched for awhile, and enjoyed it. It seems she's rather amused with racing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Time passed, and it reached 1 PM, that's when Aiko woke up.
"Hello Aiko, have some food, okay? We're about to go get the new FC3S."
"FC? Okay. . ."
"Aiko, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I am. . ."
"It seems like. . . Never mind, just eat some breakfast."
Time passed, and then it reached 1:45.
"Okay."
I paused Le Mans.
"It's time to go claim the new FC!"
"Alright!"
"Aiko, would you like to drive us? It is your AZ-1 after all."
"Okay then."
She got the keys, opened the door, and walked out.
"AZ-1. . ."
She then opened the door of the AZ-1, and started it.
"I love you, AZ-1. You're a wonderful car. Please, keep me satisfied, as I'm now pretty much lonely."
Maki and I came walking out of the house, I sat in the front, and Maki chose the back.
"The back is so small."
"Heh, this IS a small Kei car you're in."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As we got there, it caught my eyes. . . An FC. . . A light blue FC. . .
Aiko parked the AZ-1, and we all got out.
"That car up there, the FC!"
"Wow, it is!"
We walked toward it, and took a look around.
"Wow, its beautiful!"
The car was very beautiful, and in perfect condition, albeit it gave off a ghostly presence. . . Strangely. . .
"Ah, yes, it is very beautiful!"
I walked over to the rear to take a look.
"This car is in perfect condition! I've looked all around, and it is."
"Now let's take a look at the front."
I walked over to the front end.
"Wow, it's so nice! If this car were a person, she would be beautiful."
A rather tall guy, in about his 30's walked over.
"Are you Ryou Takishida?"
"Yes sir, I'm Ryou."
"Nice to meet you, my name is Ryouiichi."
"Ah, hello, Ryouiichi."
"So, like the car?"
"Yes, it's in very nice condition! But I wonder, why would you want to sell such a beautiful car?"
"Oh, well I'm a famous street racer, and, well, I loved that car. If I wasn't so old, I would keep it. . . But now that I'm quitting, I decided to sell it."
"Oh, well, that's very thoughtful of you to sell it."
"Yes, it is. So, are you going to buy it?"
"Yes."
I handed him the money.
"Thank you for the Yen, I appreciate it. . . Now, go off, enjoy the car as much as I did!"
"I will!"
Ryouiichi walked away, and before he left, he turned around, and basically waved, "Goodbye", to the FC3S.
"That's good Ryou! You have an FC now!"
"Yeah, I do. Now, up for a quick test drive in it on the mountain test track before we return home?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay."
"Okay then, Aiko, get in your car and follow me."
I then drove away.
--------------------------------------------------------------
As we reached the Mountain course, Aiko parked her AZ-1, and got in my FC3S. We then drove up the mountain, where I lined up at the starting line.
"Are you two ready?"
"Yes!"
"Yeah."
"Okay, let's go!"
"So far, this car is great!"
"It's like when we were in High School!"
"Hey Ryou, could you try drifting?"
"Okay."
"Drift FC!"
"That was well for someone who hasn't drifted an FR for awhile."
"Yeah!"
"It seems like I'm going to love this car, it handles great!"
"Now it's time to try another drift!"
"Okay, good luck!"
"Oh 🤬!"
Luckily, I didn't grind the barrier, but I was close.
"Whew."
"Yeah, that was close!"
"Now let's try another drift!"
I spun out this time, on this corner before the last.
"Damn."
"It was pretty good at first though!"
I quickly got back to driving after that.
"This thing is fast too!"
"Okay, the last corner, let's drift this also!"
"That was an alright drift, albeit it could be better."
"Okay, I'm ready to go back to your house now."
"Just one more lap, please?"
"Okay, since you're enjoying it so much!"
"Okay!"
For the rest of the time, we remained silent, and I could concentrate better.
"Wow Ryou, that was a good run!"
"Yeah, it was, I think I'm going to love this FC."
"That's good!"
"Now, let's head home, shall we?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I finally got it. . . The beautiful car I've forgotten. It's now mine, and hopefully I will love it for eternity. . . And answer those questions. . .

It was a beautiful vehicle. . . White, sleek, aerodynamically made body. It was the car I loved. . . The FC. It brought many joy to me, and I had always loved it. . . Just recently, as Maki-Chan came back, she told me the past, then suddenly, everything hit me. . . What did I do? Why did I leave the FC with my father? The car I loved so much, I let go. . . I've been thinking now, and I must answer all these questions. With my Mira gone, I had no reason to race anymore, but now, I know. . . FC. . . The car I should get once again. . . The car that I should keep with me. It was my favorite car, but what exactly happened? Why did I decide to trash the idea of getting another FC as my dad left? These questions, I must answer them. . . I must. . .
------------------------------------------------------------
The clock began to rang, I got up. 7:43 it read.
"Huh? I sure woke up early. . . Guess I forgot to set a different time as I got home. Anyways, today I'm getting an FC3S, all I could do at least is have sense of happiness."
As I walked downstairs, someone was standing by the stove.
"Good morning Ryou!"
It was just Maki.
"Ah. Good morning."
She handed me a coffee, and a laptop.
"Uhh? Am I supposed to eat the laptop?"
"No. . . Open it up, take a look!"
I opened it up, and something caught my eyes.
"FC for sale, in Kyoto-Shoren-in! Only 240,740.64 Yen! This is a great deal!"
"Yeah, it looked like a nice deal. So, what do you say we go buy it at around 2 PM?"
"Huh? Oh. That sounds nice, 2 AM it is."
It's what I've been waiting for, the FC. . . I finally can obtain it again.
"So, is uh. . . Aiko awake?"
"Huh? No."
"Oh. . . Okay then. Want to watch some Le Mans I recorded with me?"
"Sure."
We watched for awhile, and enjoyed it. It seems she's rather amused with racing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Time passed, and it reached 1 PM, that's when Aiko woke up.
"Hello Aiko, have some food, okay? We're about to go get the new FC3S."
"FC? Okay. . ."
"Aiko, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I am. . ."
"It seems like. . . Never mind, just eat some breakfast."
Time passed, and then it reached 1:45.
"Okay."
I paused Le Mans.
"It's time to go claim the new FC!"
"Alright!"
"Aiko, would you like to drive us? It is your AZ-1 after all."
"Okay then."
She got the keys, opened the door, and walked out.
"AZ-1. . ."
She then opened the door of the AZ-1, and started it.
"I love you, AZ-1. You're a wonderful car. Please, keep me satisfied, as I'm now pretty much lonely."
Maki and I came walking out of the house, I sat in the front, and Maki chose the back.
"The back is so small."
"Heh, this IS a small Kei car you're in."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As we got there, it caught my eyes. . . An FC. . . A light blue FC. . .
Aiko parked the AZ-1, and we all got out.
"That car up there, the FC!"
"Wow, it is!"
We walked toward it, and took a look around.
"Wow, its beautiful!"
The car was very beautiful, and in perfect condition, albeit it gave off a ghostly presence. . . Strangely. . .
"Ah, yes, it is very beautiful!"
I walked over to the rear to take a look.
"This car is in perfect condition! I've looked all around, and it is."
"Now let's take a look at the front."
I walked over to the front end.
"Wow, it's so nice! If this car were a person, she would be beautiful."
A rather tall guy, in about his 30's walked over.
"Are you Ryou Takishida?"
"Yes sir, I'm Ryou."
"Nice to meet you, my name is Ryouiichi."
"Ah, hello, Ryouiichi."
"So, like the car?"
"Yes, it's in very nice condition! But I wonder, why would you want to sell such a beautiful car?"
"Oh, well I'm a famous street racer, and, well, I loved that car. If I wasn't so old, I would keep it. . . But now that I'm quitting, I decided to sell it."
"Oh, well, that's very thoughtful of you to sell it."
"Yes, it is. So, are you going to buy it?"
"Yes."
I handed him the money.
"Thank you for the Yen, I appreciate it. . . Now, go off, enjoy the car as much as I did!"
"I will!"
Ryouiichi walked away, and before he left, he turned around, and basically waved, "Goodbye", to the FC3S.
"That's good Ryou! You have an FC now!"
"Yeah, I do. Now, up for a quick test drive in it on the mountain test track before we return home?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay."
"Okay then, Aiko, get in your car and follow me."
I then drove away.
--------------------------------------------------------------
As we reached the Mountain course, Aiko parked her AZ-1, and got in my FC3S. We then drove up the mountain, where I lined up at the starting line.
"Are you two ready?"
"Yes!"
"Yeah."
"Okay, let's go!"
"So far, this car is great!"
"It's like when we were in High School!"
"Hey Ryou, could you try drifting?"
"Okay."
"Drift FC!"
"That was well for someone who hasn't drifted an FR for awhile."
"Yeah!"
"It seems like I'm going to love this car, it handles great!"
"Now it's time to try another drift!"
"Okay, good luck!"
"Oh 🤬!"
Luckily, I didn't grind the barrier, but I was close.
"Whew."
"Yeah, that was close!"
"Now let's try another drift!"
I spun out this time, on this corner before the last.
"Damn."
"It was pretty good at first though!"
I quickly got back to driving after that.
"This thing is fast too!"
"Okay, the last corner, let's drift this also!"
"That was an alright drift, albeit it could be better."
"Okay, I'm ready to go back to your house now."
"Just one more lap, please?"
"Okay, since you're enjoying it so much!"
"Okay!"
For the rest of the time, we remained silent, and I could concentrate better.
"Wow Ryou, that was a good run!"
"Yeah, it was, I think I'm going to love this FC."
"That's good!"
"Now, let's head home, shall we?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I finally got it. . . The beautiful car I've forgotten. It's now mine, and hopefully I will love it for eternity. . . And answer those questions. . .
To Be Continued

You thought of something? Maybe the FC is too a Blue Devil. It's because it's aqua blue too. Plus, remember the fact that it was known from the famous street racer that was jailed? Who knows, they may be the same guy.
* UPDATED! - The RX7 FC is really the blue devil from research!
