AN My first fanfiction for the Karate Kid series. Set after Cobra Kai season 1. So major spoilers there. If you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend you get Youtube Red. Finally a worthy successor to the first three movies.
Summary: After the tournament Aisha decides to try and keep her boys on the straight and Narrow.
Aisha Robinson didn't know who she was pissed off at more. Sam her oldest friend for her asinine stunts the past year. Even though they had a good heartfelt talk last night at the tournament, she was hurt on behalf of her other best friend Miguel. Couldn't she have just invited him over to meet her parents, She knew the Larusso's her whole life. Daniel would've been standoffish, but Amanda would've laid down the law and make her husband see reason.
Miguel crossed too many lines with her at the party when he attacked who she would later learn is her Sensei's kid. But Sam was the one who got hurt instead, she had to still hurt because Miguel never pulled any punches. None of them ever did, which brought her to last night and the biggest reason she was pissed off.
Hawk and Miguel tried to injure Sensei's kid. She only figured that it was her sensei's kid last night, after she saw him rush to Hawk's opponent. Then she saw the anguished look on his face during the final match. That wasn't like the Miguel who suggested she come join his dojo, and who vouched for her. That Miguel while he would've given his all, would never stoop to that level. While she didn't know Eli well before his transformation into Hawk, she never would've thought he'd try to win at all costs.
"Miss Robinson, is there something I can do for you?" Her Sensei's voice reminded her of why she was there.
"I need your advice Sensei." She could see that this is one of the rare days he wasn't fighting a hangover.
Sensei snorted as he led the way into his office. A place only Miguel had access to, she fought off the slight sting of jealousy at the thought.
"I'm the last person to dish out advice. I'm a colossal failure as a parent, a failure as a sensei, and a failure as a human being!" The self loathing in his voice sparked something inside her, this was a man who was there for her more than her parents and godfather, were. This was a man who unleashed her inner cobra. This man needs to know that he is loved and respected by more than his students. But that can wait for later, right now she needed to get Hawk and Miguel back on the right track.
"Sensei is Robby Keene your son?" She needed to think like the SlytherClaw she always associated herself as. (Pardon her love for the Harry Potter franchise.) Sensei only nodded before he launched into his history of being a deadbeat dad. At least he was better than her mother who signed over all rights to her father, and her father who was rarely there for her. The only other people there for her were the Larusso's and her godfather Bobby Brown…. She internally facepalmed. She was studying from her godfather's best friend, that he hadn't spoken to in a long while.
While she wanted advice, and she was still confused as hell, she could tell that he needed to be left alone right now. She placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a smile. "I don't think your all that bad Sensei. You're an asshole, but you own it." He didn't smile but the twitch of his lips let her know that he words reached him.
With that said she turned and left the dojo, the first thing she did was text her godfather asking for permission for her friends to stay the night. She spent the next few minutes in a texting conversation with him telling him all about the last few months she was studying Karate when he thought she was in some kind of club. Then she told him about the tournament last night and what two of her best friends did. His final response before giving his permission, was telling her to not hold back.
With a fierce smirk on her face she texted Hawk and Miguel telling them to meet at her place at five. Then she texted Sam to find out where she was at. Sam texted her back giving her the address to the new Miyagi-do dojo.
