*Kamui is in the far northern part of Japan on assignment. She has been there for a few days and has just finished up her work*
Kamui: Okay, now too call the Celestial union.
*Kamui opens her phone and dials but there isn't anything out going or coming in*
Kamui: I'll never understand this technology. *presses multiple buttons* Oh good grief I'm too tired for this.
*Kamui walks too nearby building and asks for a phone. Inside however she sees Ryoko.*
Kamui: Your a pleasant sight for sore eyes.
Ryoko: Oh Miss Kamui.
Kamui: (she usually calls me by my title. I guess we are in public.) Do you have your phone on you? My phone refuses too work.
Ryoko: Oh sure here.
*Kamui uses Ryokos phone and reports in. She isn't needed anymore by the Union.*
Kamui: *sigh*
Ryoko: You seem tired.
Kamui: I am. I want too go home.
Ryoko: I'll be leaving shortly. I'll give you a ride.
Kamui: Thank you.
*Ryoko finishes her business and with Kamui leaves for home. Kamui has a bit of a hard time fitting into Ryokos car but she makes due*
Ryoko: This isn't the most comfortable ride Millennial Guardian.
Kamui: I don't care. As long am i not standing. I must admit, I've never been in a car like this before.
Ryoko: Well i found it in a junk yard back home. The engine was a mess but i found a replacement from a police car. After some modifying and time. This is what i have now. It has racing in its DNA but with some comforts like AC. Car is actually made in Japan but like myself has some American in it.
Kamui: Just like your other cars, all have protection for the people inside.
Ryoko: Safety is most important too me. The roll cage is is up too race spec. The seats are up too race spec. The whole car is lighter and safer then a street equivalent. I feel safer here then in a normal car.
Kamui: Not tall people friendly though.
Ryoko: Sorry.
Kamui: Don't worry about it.
*Kamui enjoys the ride and gets too see Ryoko in her natural habitat. Kamui can tell Ryoko is highly skilled behind the wheel and has great sense of what her car is doing. Ryoko stays off the major roads and sticks too side routes. They stop a few times for fuel and stretching. However it is taking longer and it is getting late in the day*
Ryoko: Millennial Guardian. We may have too stop at my house.
Kamui: May i ask why?
Ryoko: I don't like driving in the mountains at night. It can be rather dangerous.
Kamui: Alright.
*Ryoko kicks up the pace a bit and starts taking a more racing approach too her driving. By the time they reach Ryokos house it is pitch black out and visibility is poor.*
Kamui: I should never have questioned you. Now i know why you don't drive at night in the mountains.
Ryoko: Eh, don't worry about it.
*They enter Ryokos house*
Ryoko: Make yourself comfortable Millennial Guardian.
Kamui: Thanks. May i use your phone again? Konoha must be worried.
Ryoko: Sure.
*Kamui calls Konoha and assures her that everything is okay and that she is with friend and she'll see her tommorow.*
Ryoko: Have you eaten?
Kamui: No, not since midday.
Ryoko: i'll make something for both of us. Do you have a preference?
Kamui: No not really. Anything will taste good right now.
Ryoko: I'll make us pizza.
Kamui: May i observe?
Ryoko: Sure.
*Ryoko begins making the pizza. It is a rather large one, XL in size. The dough is made with simple, fresh ingredients. The toppings are also very fresh and vary from pepperoni, cheese, bell peppers, onions and garlic.*
Kamui: Where did you learn how too cook?
Ryoko: My mom and dad. However i went too culinary school and got a 4 year degree. I could make other more complex foods but i prefer the simple stuff. Pizza is simple yet has a lot of variety.
Kamui: (Ryoko is...... a very interesting person. She has done so much in such little time. Makes me wonder about myself.)
*Ryoko finishes the pizza by putting shredded cheese on the crust and gets some sauce for dipping. Also some hot sauce too put on the pizza*
Ryoko: I hope you enjoy. By the way eat it with your hands. Pizza is a finger food.
*Kamui takes a bite*
Kamui: Superb. I've never had pizza before. Even though I've been too Europe. Your flavors, textures and seasonings are all in balance.
Ryoko: Try dipping the crust in the sauce. And try putting hot sauce on it as well.
*Kamui takes her advice and tries the other alternatives. Increasing the flavors available. The pizza doesn't last very long as they each get half the pizza each.*
Kamui: I really, really enjoyed that.
Ryoko: Your very welcome.
Kamui: I maybe the guest but I'll help clean up.
*Kamui does what she says. After cleaning up they relax in the living room*
Ryoko: I have too go in my 'girl cave' in about an hour.
Kamui: Oh that's fine.
Ryoko: Your welcome too join me if you want. But you have too wear a headset. Gets loud in there.
Kamui: (Maybe it will help me understand more about technology) Okay.
*Ryoko goes into her 'girl cave' and set up her racing simulator. Pulls a key board along side too chat with a friend while waiting for her race too start*
Kamui: Does this help you at all?
Ryoko: Somewhat. Keeps my reflexes sharp. Lets me drive cars I've never driven before. Different disaplains as well.
*Ryokos friend send her a setup for a rally car, which she downloads onto her computer. Ryoko fidels with the settings for about a half hour until she feels ready for a practice session. After practice Ryoko fidels some more with the settings while explaining too Kamui (in simplest terms possible) what does what and how is effects everything else.*
Kamui: I'm very ignorant too this sort of thing but i would say it is close too real life.
Ryoko: Closest thing. Better put your headset on.
*Kamui does as does Ryoko. Ryoko gets ready. When ready Ryoko sets off on her rally race. It is indeed very loud and Kamui an feel the sound in her chest. Kamui gets too see what Ryoko has trained her body too do over the years.*
Kamui: (It is as if she is feeling her way around and reacting accordingly. Amazing. Her reactions.... she'd be really dangerous too fight against with her reaction time and perception of speed.)
*Ryoko makes a few mistakes but nothing really fazes her. She finishes her stage.*
Ryoko: That is about 95% of what i can do.
Kamui: Why 100%?
Ryoko: It is in case i need it.
Kamui: (Amazing. She saves a little bit just in case.)
*Ryoko finishes her rally stages within only a few hundredths of a second of the top times. By the end she is top 50 in the world ranks but not top of her class*
Ryoko: More practice i will get better.
Kamui: You did very well.
Ryoko: Considering i drive on tarmac in real life, yeah i did well.
Kamui: (She doesn't seem pleased with her result but with her lack experience in that disaplain of racing it should be expected)
Ryoko: Well i'm done. Want some ice cream?
Kamui: What kind?
Ryoko: I'm spoiled. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. It's only ice cream i'll eat.
Kamui: Do you make it?
Ryoko: Oh no. I get it shipped here at my house. Ice cream making is outside of my cooking ability. I intend too learn soon.
*They have their ice cream. It is late out and Kamui has too get back home early.*
Ryoko: You are free too shower if you wish Millennial Guardian. I didn't show it when you originally came here but you are free too use it. There is a guest bedroom up stairs as well. The bed is more then comfortable. I'll sleep down here. My parents bed room is down here but I've made it my own.
Kamui: Thank you. I need a shower after a long few days.
*Kamui takes a long, relaxing hot shower and goes too bed. Ryoko stays up a bit more before taking a shower herself and going too bed. In the morning Ryoko makes a big healthy breakfast for the both of them.*
Kamui: Have you ever thought of owning a restaurant?
Ryoko: Yeah i have. But with my busy schedule i doubt it. Maybe when i retire. But that is a long ways off.
Kamui: I'd think you'd do well. With your cooking skills.
Ryoko: Heart and Saki have told me that. Whenever you want too leave Millennial Guardian. We'll leave.
Kamui: Okay.
*Ryoko drivers Kamui near her house. Since the streets near Kamuis house are too narrow for her car too fit in.*
Kamui: Thank you for letting me stay with you.
Ryoko: Oh don't mention it Millennial Guardian. Any time.
*Ryoko sets off for home and Kamui is greeted by a very happy Kohona*
