Welcome to the Shop

It was a weird night, above the average one could say. Natsuki had to take it all in during a short period of time. Not only did she find out “Ms. Viola” real name she had also found out the stripper had a daughter.  This was way too much for the cobalt haired girl who was having a hard time during her sleep. If that wasn’t enough she had arrived at the mom’s apartment and had found her all beaten up. Natsuki was rolling around on her bed, when she reached the end of the bed causing her to wake up on the floor. It was very early, but Natsuki knew she wasn’t going to be able to go back you sleep. The biker had work today too meaning she had to start getting ready.

It was really cold outside more so than the other days. She was hopping the shop wouldn’t get too many clients but she could only expect. During this time of the year not many people used bikes because of the cold and the snow.

After taking a much needed shower the biker girl put on a pair of jeans, a black shirt that said Kuga on the side and had the image of a wolf on the back, she tied a scarf around her neck, put on a pair of shoes and a leather jacket.
She made her way down the building, skipping breakfast, and off to work she was, taking her car of course.


Wolfe’s Mechanic Shop

Natsuki had made it on time, her coworkers were already there too having some coffee and having some small talk. The cobalt haired girl got along with all of them pretty well. At first; she had a hard time with them because they were constantly harassing her and trying to get their moves on, it took them a while to understand that Natsuki had no interest in them whatsoever. Eventually she earned the other guys respect because of her amazing ability to fix bikes and because she didn’t let them intimidate her.

“Hey Natsuki, good morning” They all greeted.

The shop consisted of 5 men and the shop owner. A skinny guy with black hair that wore glasses named Aoishi, he is a very smart man, and takes care of the design on the cars and bikes. He’s to some extent shy and loves videogames. Vincent and American that came from California, he’s tall, blonde, blue eyed and has a surfers body. He loves motor cross, and specializes in the modification of the cars mechanically, he has a laid back attitude and has a really cool tattoo on his left arm. Torque is a bit fat, he’s a very funny guy, and has light brown hair and dark colored eyes. He loves eating; no one knows his real name, they call him torque because he specializes in building costumed parts for the vehicles. His job is known all over Japan. Then there’s Sanosuke who is an apprentice mechanic; but for know he takes care of painting, his flames could melt the coldest of places, he’s the youngest one in the shop and has big dreams. Koishi the serious of the group, he’s an old man, around his mid forties. He rarely talks and is always working on something, he’s always wearing a cap and he is the oldest in the shop. Natsuki had never had a meaningful conversation with him, despite that it she always manages to learn something from him. Last but not least was the shop owner named Keitaro, he was never around and when he was it was to bitch about something. Even though he was young he was bald and had dark colored eyes and some of the guys said he was linked to the Yakuza but Natsuki hasn’t had the chance to actually see him doing business.  

That was the shop Natsuki had been working most of her life. She had been offered several other jobs, but she didn’t want to go through the trouble of having to earn other people’s respect again. She had grown too close to the guys too, she just couldn’t leave them.

“Hey guys, how are you all?” Natsuki said as she took off her scarf and leather jacket.

”We’re good.” Aoshi replied.

“We are having a special client today “Kioshi interrupted before they could start chatting.

Everyone looked at him, and remained quiet allowing him to continue.  

“He’s coming with the boss today, I want this shop clean too so you guys better start cleaning up.”

Everyone nodded, no one complained. If you complained to Koishi about something it meant extra working hours with him which could become very exhausting. It was one of the benefits Koishi enjoyed, since he was the oldest everyone followed his orders.

“Natsuki gets to clean the bathroom today” Torque said grinning.

“What?! NO!! I don’t want to clean the bathroom”

“You know the rule Natsuki, the last one to get to the shop has to clean the bathroom.” The blonde American said as he smiled at Natsuki.

“Good luck Kuga, Torque was just here this morning he was the last one to go in there.” Sanosuke said as he handed her the cleaning products.

All the guys laughed at her as she made her way towards the bathroom muttering something about how they sucked. It was going to be a long day for Natsuki.  After that the other guys started cleaning up the shop.

Mai’s Apartment

Mai couldn’t sleep very well last night, she was seriously considering breaking up with Tate but she wasn’t so sue it was going to be all worth it in the end. She was going to do so, because she just wanted to be with Mikoto, this weekend helped her realize how much she missed the other girl. Yes, she had a stable life with Tate but as much as she liked him, she wasn’t in love with him. It was Monday and it meant going to work so she didn’t have time to stress over her love problems.  Since she has to go to work she was going to ask Mikoto if she wanted to have lunch with her, no expectations just to catch up on what’s going on with each other. So she sent Mikoto a text message asking her if she wanted to have lunch together.


Mikoto’s and Nao’s apartment

Both of them were going to be late for work. Getting Nao out of bed was always such trouble. Although it was fun living with Nao, the red head loved to drink and party. Causing them to wake up with a terrible hang over and in a compromising position, they were both in the same bed without clothes, Mikoto had her arm over Nao’s stomach and they pretty much hugging.

The alarm went off again causing both of the girls to open their eyes. Since they were both facing each other, they were shocked to see they were in the same bed without any clothes on. Both of them jumped away from each other utterly surprised and washing away any remains of sleep whatsoever. This only caused the girls to earn a mayor headache, making them remember what had happened.

* Flashback*

It was a boring Sunday afternoon in the girls apartment. Nao was really bored and wanted to go out, but since it was Sunday Mikoto wanted to stay in. She tried calling Natsuki but the girl said she wasn’t in the mood. She even called Mai but she said she had plans with Tate. Since she had nothing to do and Mikoto didn’t want to go out, she opted to start drinking. She offered Mikoto some beer, and after several six pack’s both of the girls were pretty wasted. They were singing and messing around, trying to make their way to their separate rooms. They were both hanging on to one another but Nao had managed to trip on one of her shoes she had left laying around in the apartment causing them to fall down Nao landing on top of Mikoto. They were both laughing at the whole incident but after a while both of the girls were looking into each others eyes.

“Ne, Mikoto you know you’re very pretty right?” Nao said as she grazed the other girls face.

Mikoto didn’t say anything and just grabbed the other girls face and gave her a kiss. After that well they had both made it into the bedroom discarding the unnecessary clothes they were wearing. After they were done doing … well you know… the passed out not really allowing them to acknowledge what they had done.

*End of Flashback*


Nao was about to say something when she was interrupted by the time.

“Oh shit we are going to be late! Hurry up and shower” She said as she started picking up the Mikoto’s clothing.

Mikoto made her way towards the bathroom as rapidly as she could and showered. She changed and so did Nao, both of them weren’t saying a word to each other it was still awkward between them. As Mikoto grabbed her wallet she heard her cell phone indicating she had a text message.
She opened her cell phone and read the message. She really wasn’t sure she should see Mai today after what she had done with Nao. They weren’t in a relationship and she was sure that she wasn’t ready for one either, she also knew Nao well to know that she wasn’t the stable type. So she told Mai she was going to have to pass but maybe they could have lunch on Wednesday.
Wolfe’s Mechanic Shop

After a long morning of cleaning Natsuki was done with the bathroom and so were the other guys with the rest of the shop. It was looking great. The shop was actually very big it consisted of two floors. The first one were the guys would work with the cars and the second floor, were the designing took place, there was a small office there. The shop also sold bike parts and other related accessories. Nao worked there as a cashier part time on Wednesdays and Fridays too. The shop was really famous around the street racers and had a lot of fame in the underground world, Torque was part of an illicit race team and so was Sanosuke, meaning business was always good.
As the guys finished up Natsuki made her way outside to the garage were the other guys were cleaning the tools and putting everything in place.

“Hey Natsuki, How was it?” Sanosuke asked as he moved a bottle of nitrous to the corner of the shop.

“I didn’t know a human being was capable of…” Natsuki couldn’t even finish the sentence because she couldn’t find the exact words. Causing the boys to laugh, even Koishi smiled at the girls look. The guys were startled when they say Keitaro walk in with very familiar faces inside the shop. Natsuki’s face totally changed in an instant, and the guys were quick to notice too.
