Ch 345: Terrorizing the Japanese Highways.
Kyra sets down her tablet having watched volume 8 episode 10.
"Thank god they ousted ironwood thank goodness we repelled Salem's attack on atlas. If James had the potential to become that he would've been far more terrifying than Cardin was." Kyra mutters.
"I mean the slaughter would've been the same but to doom your own citizens on a sinking ship." Kyra mutters.
"You okay?" Ruby asks walking into the office.
"Huh? Yeah of course." Kyra says
"You didn't show up for lunch." Ruby says
"Ah, I've been busy." Kyra says
"Right, well, Yang and Blake are going full festival mode. Weiss is getting Winter to help with the ball." Ruby says
"Good this has been a chaotic mess. It's like all my attention goes into one thing, my creativity into another, and my skills at writing into the reports. Heh, it reminds me of senior year of college." Kyra says
"Right, well since the other girls got this covered for now, date night you and me." Ruby says as she twirls a pair of car keys around her index finger.
"What car is that to?" Kyra couldn't help but ask.
"I have no clue, I figured I would surprise us." Ruby says with a smile.
"You realize that unless you got the mini van key, those care will go about as fast as you could run a few years ago." Kyra says as she focuses on the key that is rotating at several thousand rpm.
"It's a Ford huh, hopefully it's the RS cause I'm afraid the mustang will be attracted into the crowd." Kyra says
"The crowd? Did you look to see where I was taking you?" Ruby asks
"Well it's Japan, obviously we are going to the home of one of my favorite anime." Kyra says with a smile.
"Fine, but I drive." Ruby says upset her surprise was ruined.
Kyra raises an eyebrow.
"I thought you were never driving again after Jaune sang the camp camp song." Kyra says.
"Never remind me of that again." Ruby with a rather impressive glare.
"Fine fine, let's get going shall we?" Kyra asks sitting up.
===================
Meanwhile with Harriet and Luna.
"So this is what I felt?" A tall woman with extremely pale skin and long white hair says looking at Harriet and Luna drinking tea.
"To be honest I wasn't expecting it either." a woman with red hair and green eyes says.
"And our colors are opposite too." Yuna says with a laugh.
"It's always fun meeting another aspect." The pale woman says
"Right well while the humans are in the bath let's talk." Harriet says
"Right so life and death?" Luna asks
The two nod.
"It's weird meeting another aspect of yourself." Harriet says
"You get used to it." Lady death says
"You're different though." Life says
"Both of you are." Death confirms.
"Well mother is Dreams so I guess that makes sense." Harriet says
"Nothing is ever normal a round you is it Harriet." Luna says with her warm smile.
Kyra suddenly appears. Kyra looks at the two pairs and thinks for a second.
"Oh, phew nothing to worry about?" Kyra asks
"No mom I think we are good." Harriet says
"Right good well I'm gonna get back to my date then." Kyra says disappearing.
====================
"Where did you go?" Ruby asks as Kyra appears back inside the Ford Focus RS.
"I had to check on something, it's nothing too important." Kyra says
"Ah, one of the kids do something outrageous again?" Ruby asks
"Close and please don't jinx it, you know how Sandstorm loves her flags." Kyra says as they continue up the mountain pass.
Spiders blood begins to play as they are driving down the Japanese highway.
"You're not!" Kyra shouts only for the beat to drop and Ruby takes the exit drifting.
Everyone can see a blue blur flying through the town heading towards the mountain.
"Ruby!" Kyra shouts as the RS is flipped driving backwards then forwards again.
"It's fine this is still slow to us." Ruby says as the physical speedometer runs out of room.
The electronic one is showing around 280mph.
There is the bang of a back fire as the from a down shift as the car starts sliding sideways drifting up the mountain in a cartoonish manor.
'This is what I get for buying an Intial D arcade game for the teachers lounge.' Kyra thinks to herself knowing full well a crash won't even injure her. She just worked really hard in this car.
They arrive at the top pulling a handbrake stop flipping the car 180 degrees before it stops right at the top of mount Haruna.
"Keys." Kyra deadpans
"Fine, but we both know you're going to do the same thing." Ruby responds.
"No im gonna be faster." Kyra says as she pulls up "when the sun goes down." But it's nightcore.
The two get out to swaps seats only to hear people shouting about a new record and how that's probably unbeatable.
"That's not true. Keiichi Tsuchiya, and maybe Ken Block could put up a decent fight on that up hill." Kyra says which gets a few claps.
"No ones gonna beat the down hill though." Kyra says with a smile.
Kyra gets in and rolls down the windows as the music begins to play.
Right before the beat drop Kyra slams the gas petal peeling out of the parking lot at the top of the mountain arriving at the corner right when the beat drops. Before the song is heard echoing down the mountain pass.
"...."
"That's that's insane." A man says
A little over a minute later.
"5 hair pins! They are already at the 5 hair pins!!!" A radio lights up.
"It's like they are flying! There is no way that's a car!"
"Bottom of the mountain... 1.58.231"
"That's faster than the BRZ s and the 86GT... that beat the R-35 that ran it last week with a retired rally driver...."
"Where to next?" Ruby asks the song not even done and the adrenaline still rushing.
"Maybe the Wangan?" Kyra says
