"Diojo.. DIOJO... HANG IN THERE!" He started gently examining her hair, when he touched the side of her scalp blood started dripping into his fingers. His green eyes widened in terror. "what the... we're going to the hospital" He buckled both their harnesses and took off flying to the nearest hospital.

◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢

The entire drive was just him tensed up trying to get her as fast as humanly possible, pushing his Supra to near its limits. Luckily he got there on time before he blew up the 2JZ engine. Carried her in his arms and sprinted to the ER "HURRY UP MY FRIEND IS BLEEDING!" tears almost sneaking out. Diojo's body has been put on a stroller pushed immediately to the O.R.

He then called her roommate,

"Hey Enzo what's wrong with you calling me at 4am? " A female voice came from his phone.

"Sana... quickly... Diojo is... at the hospital... She was shot" Enzo said while panting trying to catch his breath.

"Ya Allah what are you saying??? I'll be there asap. Tell me the details later." He heard her mutter some words in Arabic.

Few minutes later a red Honda NSX parked in the Matsumoto University Hospital parking. A red short haired girl emerged from it and went through the entrance. She yelled "ENZO!! WHAT HAPPENED TO HER???"

Enzo jolted up from his seat saying "I don't know what happened, Sana. We were racing and she suddenly pulled to the gas station. I thought she was fine at first then she passed out. I found blood and a hole through her head so I immediately got in here. I hope she's okay" he plopped back on his seat. Sana feeling devastated and saddened at her friend's frustration. She patted his back trying to reassure him. When a familiar doctor came out of the O.R. they both sprung up "IS SHE OKAY???" they said in unison. The doctor said "her condition is stable now. It's a miracle she survived that shot on her head. But she still needs to be put in a coma for a while to regain her full strength"

"Ah thank god" they both cheered up. "WAIT SHE WAS SHOT???" The doctor nodded and immediately left to tend to his patient while sana and enzo were busy analyzing who would do such a thing and swearing to make their life a living hell.

Aram returned back to the room. he was thinking of the situation while removing the cap, showing his raven hair "There clearly were traces of a shot in her hair but no bullet was found inside and it wasn't as deep, as if the tissues restored themselves. But brain tissues don't regenerate at that speed and damage can't be undone. Very weird although there's a high chance of amnesia" he analyzed her strange condition.

"Where, where am I?" Diojo struggled to open her eyes "Probably a hospital" She answered her own question. "DIOJO! YOU'RE AWAKE!!" She heard 2 voices: one of that stranger she bumped into and the other was unrecognizable. She finally regained her vision seeing two people by her bed, "Who are you?" She asked, confusion written all over her face. "Oh no... I think she has amnesia, she doesn't recognize us." Sana said after putting her hand on her mouth almost crying. "Is that okay, Aram??" Enzo turned to the young brunette neurosurgeon with worry on his face. "That was the best case scenario that she gets amnesia. I don't think it's a permanent one but since you guys are close to her. You can help her regain her memories faster" He said the last sentence with a faint smile on his lips. "Understood doc" they both nodded then turned to the other ravenette who is sitting up. The latter asked after slightly bowing "Thanks for saving my life, doctor. Am I getting discharged soon?"

"Yes just a few tests and checkups and you'll be discharged in one week" Aram said "also drop the formalities, i'm literally that blonde goofball's cousin." he pointed at enzo who yelled "WHO THE HELL YOU CALLING A GOOFBALL DR. STUCK UP??" Diojo giggled and thought "Something tells me these three are close. I may have been thrown into an unknown dimension but I always trust my guts. I might be able to know about how I even got here. Way to go Diojo!"

When everyone left, she laid back down staring at the ceiling "So recap, I think I might've died in the previous dimension. No ordinary human can survive a crash like that. I then got reincarnated into some world similar to my previous life's with no idea of who I am and what I do or who is a friend or a foe. I hold no memories of the previous Diojo yet I miraculously can read Japanese. usually what happens in isekai anime or web novels is the protagonist having an idea of their surroundings and a little background information on the characters, so this is quite of a novelty. At least that blond guy, Enzo was he? And the red haired girl, I think that's the Sana he talked about, both seem to really hold this Diojo dear to them." She turned her head to look at the dawn sky through the window and sighed "I doubt anyone from my previous life would do that"

the next morning, the door knocked "yeah get in" diojo instructed while reading some car magazines. the door opened, the nurse came in saying "um yazawa-san, your dad is waiting for you, mind if i let him in?" diojo nodded and a an ash purple haired middle aged man 1entered the room, "hey little one" he waved at her "sorry didn't make it in time, i was in Ibaraki when senna called me i went immediately here. I just got here" he stopped for a moment studying his daughter's facial expression. her mouth was agape in surprise "what's wrong my dear?" he only heard her mutter "Yojin resurrector?" he raised an eyebrow in confusion until she pointed out at a person in the magazine "is that you? the famous tuner that turns abandoned cars into untamable beasts?" she asked him. he scratched his cheek saying "um well yeah that's me"

she beamed of excitement "i knew it! i saw my car on the magazine, here, that's you!" he laughed and patted her head "my my little one you lost your memory and still obsess over cars. you're truly a Yazawa."

she thought "damn i thought he'd be harder to communicate with but it's actually the opposite of what the article says about him. "yazawa seiichi, a ruthless tuner who knows no bounds" my ass. everything is going smoothly"

she was interrupted by Seiichi asking her what happened yesterday. She told him the part that she dozed off while driving and suddenly woke up to the sound of the shattered glass in the driver's side window.

"That's strange, either way I'm so glad i didn't lose you too! Please be more careful while driving" He said after he hugged her tightly, tears almost dropping on his cheeks that started getting wrinkles. She awkwardly returned the hug then asked "what do you mean by too?"

"Your- ah it's just a tongue slip don't mind me. I'm starting to get old ahahaha" he laughed awkwardly while diojo stared in confusion.
The air was tense until the nurse came in and said "sir morning visit hours are over, the patient needs to have lunch"
"Ah i see, too bad i can't spend more time with you, diojo. Here's your phone and car keys back. Call me whenever you need anything. Take better care of yourself please. oh! and your car is parked at the hospital's parking lot" He said with a saddened smile before leaving the room.

Seiichi left the hospital while thinking "It's better not to tell her. At least not yet. I can't let her regain memories by reopening old scars that took her 2 years to heal. Ahh all this thinking made me crave a cigarette" he lit a cigarette and inhaled it

"if the culprit was the same as the one who killed Aida, they wouldn't be leaving her alone. Took me long enough to realize I need to bulletproof the glass." He puffed his frustration out. "I won't leave those fuckers alone either. They gotta know better than messing with the Yazawa household." He threw the cigarette butt after stomping on it with his teeth gritting

A week later

Diojo got discharged and went back to frequenting University. Her classmates were worried sick and almost crushed her body from all the hugs and sobs. It took her a while to hide in the library "ahh I didn't expect this diojo to be heaps popular!! I almost went back to the hospital because of them" she thought while panting. She tried regaining her composure when someone bumped into her. "Ahh I'm soo sorry for bumping into you! I can barely remove my eyes off the map. Are you okay?" The person who seems to be a silver haired girl with skin as white as porcelain and reddish pink doe eyes. Diojo patted her pants to remove dust "ah no worries I'm okay." She replied with her thumbs up thinking "i can tell by her accent and looks that she is a foreigner. She looks like a doll. Or rather, Griffith from berserk"

"Ah how rude of me I have to introduce myself. My name is Anovia Miettinen I'm 19 and an exchange student from jyvaskyla. I just started today and I'm a little lost, this campus is huge!" The silver doll introduced herself. "Yazawa Diojo, 20. Nice to meet you Anovia. What department are you in? I'll take you there! Though I'm a freshman too so I'm not super familiar with the campus either" It was Diojo's turn to introduce herself and offer a little help to the lost transfer student.

The latter beamed in relief and grasped Diojo's hands saying "Yaaaay thank you sooo much I'm so glad I met you! I study aerodynamics because I love flying so much"

diojo thought "SO SHINY. EVEN SHINIER THAN ENZO" "ohh really i also study aerodynamics. I'll take you there. Though... i gotta ask for a favor" she went closer to anovia's ear and whispered "I'm actually running away from my classmates. It's a long story" she heard the steps of multiple people running "oh shit they're here! RUN!" She yanked her arm and ran without a destination but she was lead back to her classroom. "The fuck is wrong with me, stepping into the predators nest? Guess I'll accept my fate"

she waited for the impact but nothing happened. She heard anovia try to stand up for her " THE HECK YOU GUYS DOING TO YOUR POOR CLASSMATE. YOU EVEN MADE HER TRY TO HIDE IN THE LIBRARY." "B-but-" a classmate tried to protest but was cut by anovia yelling "NO BUTS! Go apologize to her, now!" "She's a tough cookie for real. I shouldn't get on her bad side!" Diojo and the entires freshmen thought. They politely apologized to her and diojo forgave them.

"You didn't have to go that far, Anovia. They were just worried cuz i was in the hospital" she said to anovia "yea if i didn't intervene they'd send you back there. Plus it's just a Finn athing. We're rather extreme when being honest and handling such issues" she shrugged. "I thought the same haha" diojo thought. "anyways wanna eat lunch together later?" she asked the newbie. Anovia beamed "YES DOES THAT MAKE US FRIENDS?" diojo replied "mhm if you say so?"

"daaamn that was a long day i'm soo tired" enzo yawned while stretching "sophomore year is really a pain in the ass"

diojo replied stoicaally "well you're the one who chose that major, so you gotta be responsible"

"aww cmon loosen up your tongue a little, diojo... well i'm so hungry let's go eat some ramen. my treat" enzo complained.

-at the ramen shop-

"seconds please oji-san" enzo raised his bowl to the old man making ramen. Diojo was impressed he could eat that much "a gym rat's thing I see" she said quietly but enzo could still hear it. "Gym rat?" he asked picturing a muscular rat in his head "ah forgot it was a modern slang" diojo thought while slurping her last noodles then explained to enzo "well in my timeline we call anyone obsessed with working out and counting their calories and macros a gym rat."

enzo said "ohhh I see, well I can't call myself a gym rat because I eat anything in front of me. why does it matter? all of it goes here after all this drifting and lifting weights" he pointed at his biceps after flexing them. diojo immediately put his arm down and whisper yelled with red cheekes "stop! this is grabbing too much attention to us".

enzo decided to tease his best friend and said with a smug grin "what? are you afraid a girl will see how muscular i am and steal me from you?" she stomped his foot "you're too delusional, stop pretending i'm your girlfriend. plus..." it was her turn to tease him "i found someone else to eat lunch with, and she has a better car than yours" these words struck him like a spear "ouch your tongue really is merciless, okay fine my bad. let's just get outta here" he went to the counter and paid for the total of 4 bowls (1 for diojo and 3 for enzo)

they later went to the local 7-Eleven to fill up their cars gas tanks and grab some drinks. "Something on your mind? you've been staring at your drink for a while, enzo" diojo noticed her friend's look of worry on his face "ah it's nothing it's just that i got challenged by a team called Snow Flash it's a newfound team but they got some fine racers on it. i heard they were on an expedition and they just reached us" enzo replied. Diojo said "are we supposed to race them" which made enzo's head turn towards her "what do you mean race them. Jesus christ You just got out of the hospital and you're going against a freaking porsche 911 GT2 for God's sake. Wait..." he trailed off sqinting his eyes "have you ever raced on a mountain pass? You know i can ask sana to go instead."

diojo sighed and said "who do you take me for? I could gap your supra with my old BMW 525i touring on a downhill run. plus if I could read Japanese when in my past life I didn't know a single kanji then i think i did get Diojo's skills as well and kept mine too. Just let me do it and don't bother sana with it"

enzo held his hands up in defeat and said "fine I'll let you race uphill" Diojo's eyes lit up "But" enzo held his index finger in front of her "i have to ride with you on a practice run, I'll also measure your time attack on the uphill. Make sure you have nothing heavy in it. I'll see you on friday at 10pm at Sana's" he then got inside his supra and left. Diojo sighed. "What a weird guy".
