Kira looked at him and saw the slight smile she just continued to take mental notes she was still very curious about this group but they seemed to be nice. She pointed to a car it was mostly purple and had some light blue points in it. "That one purple and blue car right there has one 7 out of the last 8 race's I've seen." Kira looked around a little more and found a an orange car with a eagle painted on the side along with a few other colors. "That orange car is the one that beat the other one. The driver doesn't race a lot I've only seen him race twice."

When she mentioned that the first driver had won almost every race Brian made a mental note to stay away from him as long as he was injured. He didn't want to make a complete fool of himself. But he surely was on his list somewhere down the road.
At the sight of the Supra with the unmistakable pain job his eyes widened. "No way! I know that car!" With fast steps he closed the distance fully expecting Vince to step out of it.

BayLeigh heard someone speak to her in English, something she wasn't used to. She looked up and smiled as she saw the blonde. She stood up and set her tool down inside the car.
"Thanks." She smiled as she looked at him, taking him in. He wasn't familiar but she remembered seeing him with someone else who did look familiar. She moved some of her hair from in front of her face to behind her ear. "Are you new around here?"

Kira quickly followed after him. "You do? How do you know the car?" She started to wonder if they really just watched the races. The car and it's driver had been there as long as she had been and she didn't even really know the driver. She knew that the car was unmistakable that paint job is defiantly one of a kind. She made a mental note to keep an eye on this group they seemed more interesting then what she first thought.

The driver wasn't any where in sight and the car locked. "Maybe he's sold the car or somebody copied it?" Brian scratched his head as he looked around for the familiar face, then shrugged, which he regretted immediately. The hole his girlfriend had blown into his should didn't take rapid movement too well. So he winced and made a face. "Let me know when you see the driver." "Tell me a little more, who's bad but simply can't stay away from the wheel?" Brian needed to find some easy pray.
A look over to Cole confirmed that he was chatting to the brunette. Maybe he was luckier with the girls here in Japan than in the states. For a moment he held his breath and wondered why the woman caught his eye so much. To Kira he suggested. "C'mon, let's get you some shots."
A moment later he stood next to Cole and looked at the young woman with a simple ."Hi. I know it sounds like a bad pick up line but ...do I know you from somewhere?"

BayLeigh turned her attention from the blonde to the new person who approached them. She smiled lightly as she nodded towards him, "You may. You're from California right? Or you may just be someone I've heard about through the grapevine. Many people know you. I'm BayLeigh, or just Bay, you are?" She held out her hand trying to be polite.

How could this stranger know so much about him? Was she an old neighbor? A waitress at the local coffee shop or maybe even knew him from when he was living in California. Obviously she knew his reputation, why not his name? "I'm...from Cali." He gave her an interested look through half-squinted eyes because he still couldn't place her while he shook her hand. "I know what else you are...hot." A boyish smile played on his lips. "When you're standing next to that Ladybug but do you know how to handle it?" Almost instantly he regretted his big mouth and even bigger desire to finally climb behind a wheel and kick some ass-even if it was such a pretty ass.

She laughed quietly, "Oh that's right. You're Brian O'Conner. Yea, after listening to you, you are him. This Ladybug as you just called her, is very easy to handle. She's not the only car I own either, thank you. If I couldn't handle her, I wouldn't be here with her. I built her myself, she's not just looks, not that you can tell by just looking at the body. You're in my territory now, you should probably watch yourself, the Japanese here are not like the American's back home. I'm afraid to even ask what car is yours, but I'm sure its nothing compared to her." She grinned, she wanted to be nice, but she had an idea that he didn't believe she knew cars well. He'd be surprised if he learned the top people here, she would be on the list. She needed to get out there, show him what she could do.

This game was getting dangerous. There was an absolute stranger here who knew his name. Scary. That was one thing you really don't want to happen when you're hiding from the law. "I'm who?" He pretended to have no idea who she was talking about and was pretty convincing. Unfortunately he had to keep his hands still tonight if he wanted to stay 'unknown'.
"You own more that this car and built her yourself? Wow. So you're probably a killer racer." His tone was mocking but the way she had been bragging about her car was janking his chain just a little too much. He simply wanted to tell her 'put your money where you mouth is and race me.' but unfortunately couldn't.
Pointing over his shoulder he simply stated. "Skyline back there."

"Don't worry, I won't tell any one who you are. You're safe." She looked to where he was pointing, "She might have competition worth while then. I have one of those too, well two Skylines, one built for racing one just a daily driver since the crossover isn't worth building with. And yes I built it myself, I work with cars for a living, and my free time I play with mine." She shrugged, "I might be a good racer, or I may suck, You'll just have to see for yourself. I came to Japan for a reason, I've been here for years, just be careful what you say and where you step. " She smirked at him as she looked around, making sure no one was watching her with him. She looked over at the other man next to her, well more like a kid, she was pretty sure he was barely 18. She waited to see if he was going to say anything, even though she knew Brian, she didn't know him.

"Alright...my name's actually Colton. I don't know who you're mistaking me with but I'm sure he's one hell of a guy." Brian simply couldn't resist.
"Thanks for the warning." Again she was bragging about all the cars she owned which made him feel a little jealous because he could barely afford his one Nissan and the maintenance after races. "You must be rich. Excuse me for a moment. I have to find a bathroom."

She looked around the driver of the car but didn't see him. Kira searched for the 3 drivers who always finished last and finally found them standing next to their cars and pointed them out to Brian. He sounded as though he really wanted to race maybe she was right about him being a racer. It definitely would make things interesting.
Kira followed him over to the women Cole was by and started to take pictures as she went.
She had stood next to Brian taking pictures the whole time him and BayLeigh were talking she got several shots but she also heard the whole conversation she remembered that Cole had told her that his name was Brian so why did Brian say his name was Colton? She looked over at BayLeigh after Brian had left and put her camera back around her neck. She held out her hand. "Sorry for not saying anything sooner, I got a little distracted, I'm Kira Yorkson," she was happy to meet another American here it was nice to hear English from a few people for a change.

BayLeigh watched Brian leave, she wasn't going to say anything about him, at least she knew a name to mention him by if needed to to anyone else. She smiled and took Kira's hand, "BayLeigh Lane. You're a photographer? You can get some great shots around here. It's nice to see some fellow state side people here, I've probably been here too long, but I do miss the states sometimes." She smiled watching her and looking around periodically at the people walking around them.

Kira smiled at her. "Yes I'm a photographer and I've already got great some great shots this place is always different. I miss the states too so don't worry." She looked at the car again. "Would you mind if I got some pictures with you and your car?" She was just iching to take more pictures and with this right in front of her it was hard for her to not ask.

"It will always be different here, its Tokyo." Bayleigh moved to the side and nodded, "Sure you can take as many as you want. She's custom, just tell me what to do." She smiled, this would be the first time pictures would be taken of her car, the paint job just finished a day ago and with working she couldn't get any shots yet.

Kira smiled widely turning on her camera again. "Could you lay on the hood of the car with your legs out?" She started thinking of some other poses that could work excited to finally get to work with people again. She quickly adjusted a few things on the camera while she waited for Bayleigh to get ready. "I could sell you a few of the pictures after if you would like some." she was running low on cash right now and a quick photo shoot like this would hold her over until the next one.

BayLeigh smiled and did as Kira asked, waiting for her to take the shot. Once she took the picture she nodded, "I'lll take a look when you're done and I'll buy some of them, anything to help a fellow American out, I can even give it to you in the Japanese Yen, then you don't have to worry about converting it to use it." She smiled and walked to the drivers door, reaching inside the window and popping the hood open.

Kira watched Bayleigh as she opened the hood and took a few pictures just like that as well. She didn't always ask people to pose for her she thought the natural actions spoke more in the pictures then the posing ones. "Thank you, that's very kind." She glanced over to the side and saw Cole still standing there she wanted to ask Bayleigh how she knew Brian but she didn't want to ask when his friend was right next to them. Her questions for Bayleigh would have to come later.

Cole was busy exploring Bayleigh's 350 while her and Brian had there "introduction." He hadn't seen Brian get that aggressive with someone before, he probably thinks girls are for show and not racing. Cole concluded himself that this chick knew what she was doing, just the 6-piston brembo brakes in the front and 4-piston brakes in the rear were evident that this car had some serious power. The only question in his mind, was if she could drive. Seeing that Kira had taking Brian's place in conversing with the owner, he moved aside and allowed the two to take their camera shots. When the time was right, he wanted to see what she was about.

BayLeigh watched as the blonde was admiring her car, she knew he'd catch the brakes, maybe even the exhaust system under it if he looked. She lifted the hood and watched as Kira started taking pictures, she started pointed around, she knew Kira wouldn't understand any of it, but she wanted to make sure she took shots of the good things, she did build her motor herself and the parts to it. BayLeigh didn't believe in bolt on's, she wanted the real things. "You're welcome, a car isn't much until you see whats under the hood, the tires, and other parts. Just the body is kinda boring. This is a 3.5L VQ35HR V6 motor, but it's not stock. I had to rebuild her myself to handle what I wanted, she also isn't legal in the U.S. anymore, not since I modded her."
