Summary: Takes place from Two Dates and a Funeral and so on. The story follows Kim and Jack's relationship with the challenges along the way while still continuing in karate. Jack/Kim Kick

I don't own Kickin' It!

Chapter I: Trustin' It!

"All this, just so we can go on a date…" Kim said in disbelief.

Jack looked deep in her blue eyes and bit his lower lip, "Yeah, but y'know what? You're worth it." She caught her breathe, a gleam appearing in her eyes before she bit down in her lower lip as well. He let that sink in before grabbing her hand and leading her out of the mall. A small smile appeared on Jack's face when he felt Kim leaning her head on his shoulder.

The next morning, Jack walked into the dojo like any casual day, duffel bag in hand. Jerry and Milton were already there, sparing on the mats. When they saw Jack had walked in, they immediately stopped what they were doing to crowd him. "Dude, finally what took you so long?" Jerry asked.

"Sorry guys, my skateboard broke so I had to walk," Jake replied casually. "What'd I miss?"

"It's what you didn't miss..!" Jerry replied. There was an awkward moment of silence before he continued. "I just realized that didn't make any sense…"

Milton stepped up, "I think what Jerry is trying to say is that we really want to know what happened on your date with Kim last night."

Jack smiled and then blushed at the thought of their date last night. After getting rid of Milton's annoying parrot and the constant intrusion of Albert on certain occasions, their date was really nice, something he had dreamed about a while ago. "It was great." He said, his smile growing in size.

Right on cue, Kim walked in with her duffle bag. Walked over to the guys, "Hey, Kim." Jack greeted her with a warm, welcoming hug. Jack noticed she stiffened a little, worrying him a little, "Something wrong?" He asked softly.

She grabbed his wrist and led him towards the lockers, leaving Milton and Jerry to wonder what they were talking about.

"Jack, now that we're…seeing each other…I don't want you to treat me any different than before." She explained. "I'm still Kim, you're still Jack, and you'll always be my best friend." She added, gripping his hand tightly.

"You got it, Kim, nothings gonna change." Jack said smiling, pulling her closer before he started leaning to place a quick kiss on her lips. A smile curled up on her face as she enjoyed the affection her boyfriend showed towards her. Since they started dating yesterday they only shared only one of other kiss, which was after their date in front of Kim house. Her reaction was to blush and run into the house. "Maybe a few things." He said, displaying a charming smile, causing her to laugh.

"I'll meet you at Phil's for lunch?" She asked.

"Count on it." He smiled before walking off into the change room.

After practice, Jerry led Milton to follow some pretty girls he saw walk into Doctor Kicks. Meanwhile, Jack walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his neck. He put his stuff, including the towel, away in his locker before making his way over to Phil's to meet Kim.

When he walked in, he noticed Kim seating alone in their usual empty booth. She was too distracted on by phone to notice he had walked in. Jack quickly and quietly made his way to the booth behind hers and kneeled up on the seat. In one swift motion he placed his hands in front of her eyes. He could tell she was a little surprised by the little jump she displayed in shock. "Guess who…" I said.

A smile appeared on her face, clearly knowing who it was. "Is it…Jerry..?" She teased a little.

Jack quirked an eyebrow. "Do my hands smell like feet?" He asked, causing Kim to laugh.

"Hey!" Jerry yelled right on cue as he and Milton walked through the door of the restaurant, "For your information, I wash my hands twice a week!" He said in defiance.

"Who ya texting, Kimmy?" Jack asked, swinging around the booth to sit next to his girlfriend.

"No one!" She quickly replied, holding her phone safely against her chest.

Jack was a little suspicious and wanted to ask more, but just let it go.

Kim quickly wanted to change the subject, "So, Jack, what took you so long in the bathroom, you took longer than me." She said, adding a laugh at the end.

"Hey, it takes lots of time and care to look after lushest locks like mine." He said, wiping his hair a little, causing Kim to burst out laughing.

He suddenly noticed that Jerry and Milton were headed off to a table across the restaurant, away from them? "Guys, where are you going?" He asked.

"We thought we'd give you two some space." Milton replied kindly with a hint of nervousness.

I shook my head, "Don't even think about it, just because Kim and I are dating doesn't mean our friendship with you guys is gonna change." I explained before signaling them to come over. They smiled before walking over to sit across from us in the same booth. "If we want space, we'll ask for it, okay?" I gave them both a warm smile. They nodded before going ahead and ordering.

I felt something squeeze my hand underneath the table. My attention was drawn towards Kim who was sitting next to me. She gave me the sweet smile I always liked to see, I quickly returned the smiling before joining Jerry and Milton in ordering.

As Jack, Jerry and Milton went off to the counter to order, Kim caught herself unable to ply her eyes off Jack. She continued to stare dreamily until they came back, Jack holding two trays, "I got you some falafel balls with carrots." He said, handing me the red tray with everything he had just said.

"Awh, you know me." she said sweetly, greatefully excepting the food.

"So what are you guy planning to do after lunch?" Jack asked after settling down next to Kim.

"I was thinking of just heading over to Doctor Kicks and hanging over there for a while, maybe head back to the dojo after to work out." Jerry replied. "What about you guys?"

"I have to go practice my French horn," Milton replied in despair.

"I think I'll head back to the dojo right after I finish. I've been meaning to learn Shin Do from him for a while now." I said.

"Hey, that sounds pretty cool." Jerry said. "Does it involve sticking to walls?" He asked.

Everyone took a moment to look at him like he had lost it for a while before returning their attention to their food except for Jack. "No, it's more like a defensive technique for using your opponent's strength against them." He explained.

"Ah, I see, y'know there are many scientific laws that defy that order." Milton said, but everyone just tried to ignore it.

Jack turned to Kim, "So, Kim, what are you planning to do for the rest of the day?"

Kim was poking at her falafel balls with a piece of carrot, and had only snapped out of it at the sound of Jack's voice, "Hm, what'd you say Jack?"

"I asked you what you're going to do for the rest of the day." Jack said, eyeing her suspiciously a little. Before she could answer, Jack dropped one of his falafel balls onto the ground. "Ah, my bad." He said, bending underneath the table to grab it, in the process he noticed Kim's phone in her hand, he one thumb typing away.

So that's what was distracting her. She wasn't lost in thought like she made it seem, she was actually texting someone.

Jack came back over the table, leaving the fallen ball to the side. "What were you saying, Kim?"

"I was just thinking of walking around the mall, I'm not in the mood to really workout today." She said. "Maybe I'll come by the dojo later to see you practice." She stated afterwards.

Jack smiled smiled, "Okay sounds good, I'm gonna head to the dojo, I'll catch you guys later." He said, planting a quick kiss on Kim cheek and then high fiving Milton and Jerry before heading out the doors.

"Hey, Kim, you've been acting a little weird lately, you feeling okay?" Milton asked a little bluntly. Kim's head was slightly tilted down and her eyes were seemingly closed, but only before she was looking down. It didn't seem like she had heard a word Milton had said.

"Huh? What's she looking at?" Jerry asked Milton. "Ah, must be my new shoes I got from Doctor Kicks the other day, their totally sick and swagged out."

"Kim!" Milton raised his voice a little, snapping the girl out of whatever trace she had been in before.

"What?" She asked slightly agitated.

"You feeling okay? You seem—distracted." Milton said.

Kim smiled. "Yeah I'm totally fine, just a lot on my mind, that's all." She stood from the booth. "I'll see you guys later, okay?" They waved until she walked out of the restaurant.

When it was safe to say she was out of earshot, Jerry spoke up, "Something definitely wrong, what do you thinks up?"

Milton thought for a little before replying, "I'm not too sure, let's ask Jack tomorrow at school."

"Oh man, school!" Jerry nearly shouted. "Our freshman year is almost over, which mean the end of the year dance is coming up, I gotta find myself a cute date!" He said before rushing out the doors.

"Hai!" Jack could be heard from across the mall. Inside the Bobby Wasabi Dojo, Jack was going all out with all kinds of well-placed and formed punches and kicks all aimed as his sensei, Rudy. But none of them were getting by. He was moving fast, but Rudy was moving much, much fast, caught, blocking and even seemingly absorbing the force of all of Jacks' moves.

"That's it, Jack, keep it up." Rudy encouraged as he swatted away a barrage of punches.

Jack was panting hard by now. "Time to finish this with a Jack attack!" He exclaimed. He stopped his barrage only briefly to take a deep breath. He then rushed at Rudy at top speed, launching a three punch barrage when close enough, but none of them got through Rudy's perfect defensive technique. He followed up with a swift round house kick, but Rudy absorbed the force of it, catching Jack's leg then releasing it when he needed to block an incoming fist. He followed up by doing a back flip to make some distance between then. Then a front flip , but turning it into an axe kick which Rudy caught over his head.

He tossed Jack across the mat, causing him to skid then roll to stop. "Damn it, Rudy, so that's the really strength of Shin Do." Jack said panting heavily as he sat himself up where he was at the edge of the mat.

"Yep, it's really useful but very difficult to learn. It takes lots of patience and complete control over your mind and body." He said standing on one leg with his eyes closed and his arms swaying around like noodles.

Suddenly, Rudy's phone went off and he immediately stopped what he was doing to answer it. "Hi mommy!" He said with a big smile on his face. Before Jack could hear any more of the conversation, not that he wanted to, Rudy took it to his office, closing the door behind him.

The bells on the doors ringing caught Jack's attention. It was Kim, but her head was down and completely focused on her phone. She probably had no idea she just walked into the dojo. She wasn't paying enough attention to realize that she was walking right towards one of the duffel bags Jerry had left lying around.

Jack simply walked over to it and waited until she tripped over it. Not hesitating for even a moment, he caught her before she got too close to the ground. She was in complete shock; her eyes were totally wide in surprise. "Jack!" She said, now paying attention to the outside world.

"Kim!" I teased.

Jack placed her firmly on her feet before letting go. "What's going on with you, Kim? You've been acting really weird lately, mind telling me what's going on?"

"It's nothing, I'm fine, Jack." She replied quickly.

Jack wasn't satisfied with that answer. "Hm, well at least tell me who your texting, I said, peering over to look at her screen.

"No! I mean—It's no one, I promise." She said, holding her phone protectively against her chest.

"Kim, are you lying to me?" He asked her with a firm look on his face.

"I wouldn't lie to you, Jack." She said, bringing her face close to his and cupping his chin. She waited a moment before planting a quick kiss on his lips. She then made her wait towards the change rooms in a fast pace.

Just as she walked out of sight, Milton and Jerry walked in together, seemingly in deep conversation, "Hey, guys, what's going on?" Jack asked them.

"We're trying to figure out what's going on with Kim, she seems to be a little out of it today." Milton replied.

"We thought you'd know a little of what's going on with her." Jerry added.

Jack shook his head. "Sorry guys, I'm trying to figure it out, too. She's definitely not acting herself today." Jack told them. "Didn't she go off alone earlier today? You two have any idea where she might have gone?"

"We tried following her but we lost sight of her halfway when Jerry got too distracted by some girls we passed by." Milton explained.

Jerry smirked his cocky grin, "Hey, what can I say? I'm a natural predator." He said.

Just as the conversation was going to continue, Kim walked out of the change room in her training gi, but her hair still down. "Hey, Jack, can you help me tie my hair back?" Jack never recalled her asking anyone for help with tying her hair before, maybe it was a relationship thing?

"Sure thing, Kim." He said, walking over to her. He handed him a hair tie before he got to work on her hair. He got a little distracted at the wonderful smell of raspberries, he remember the smell from last night on their date. He didn't have trouble getting the hair done; he had a knack with doing hair. "Done."

"Thanks." She replied before walking over to her locker. She opened it before placing her phone in it and walking over to the mats. She began to stretch alone as Jack walked back over to the guys.

"So any ideas, guys?" Jack asked. He noticed Jerry had that great idea look, but his stomach seemed to turn as the look was directed towards Kim's locker. "Jerry,- what are you thinking?" Jack asked him.

"I have an idea, boys…" He said before the three of them huddled up. "Okay, so here it is. We have to get Kim's phone, it's as simple as that. Whoever she's texting will be revealed if we can get our hands on her phone." He explained.

Jack frowned, he kinda saw this coming. "But, Jerry, that's wrong, it's Kim's personal property, we should respect that." He said. "And anyways, if she finds out she won't trust me anymore." He added.

"But, Jack, don't you want to find out who she's texting!? What if it's another guy?" He said with a hint of a taunt in his voice. Jack clearly stiffened a little. "So here's what I was thinking. Jack, you can find someone to distract her, bring her attention away from us and the lockers while you train with her. Meanwhile, Milton and I go into her locker, grab the phone and make for Phil's. We'll meet there in an hour and let you know of our findings. We'll put her phone back in her locker before she even knows it's gone." He explained.

Jack thought long and hard for a moment, before speaking, "Fine, I'm in, this better be full prove, Jerry." He said.

Before any of them could speak another word, Kim called, "Hey, Jack are we gonna practice or not?"

"Coming, Kim." He said, walking off towards the mats, but not before shooting the two a glance that he wasn't 100% sure what its true meaning was.

"So, Jack, what did you have in mind for our training today?" Kim asked when Jack arrived on the mats.

He thought for a while before his eyes widened with an idea. "How about blindfold practice?" He suggested.

Kim shot an eyebrow at the suspicious idea. "What's that?" She asked.

"It's when you're blindfolded and you only have your ears to sense the movement around you. You've never done it before?" Jack said. She shook her head. He pulled a blindfold out of his gi pocket and went around her to tie it over her eyes.

"No funny business, okay?" She said slightly threatening. Jack could only chuckle as he worked on the knot. When Jack was done check that the knot was not too tight, nor too loose, he gave a signal for Jerry and Milton to head for the locker. They did so as quietly as they could. "You still there, Jack?" She asked him.

"Yeah, sorry, okay for starters I'll start out a little slow just so you can get used to it. We need to keep the room completely silent so you can listening in on my movements. Take note of my foot steps and also the sound that my clothes let off." I explained. "Ready?" Jack asked her and she nodded.

He threw her a half assed punch that was only going at about 25% of his normal speed. Her reaction was delayed, but in one swift movement she swatted his fist away, grabbing it in the process. She got caught up in the heat of the fight, by doing so; she turned, pulled the caught fist and shoulder tossed him to the other end of the mat.

"Oh my gosh, Jack, are you alright?" She asked in shock of what she had just done. He noticed her hand go towards her blindfold. But Jerry and Milton were still at her opened locker.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm fine, I'm better than fine! That was amazing, Kim. K-Keep the blindfold on, we're going to do a few more." Jack said quickly. She nodded and got in a ready stance.

Meanwhile, with Jerry and Milton, they just got a hold of Kim's phone when the door to Rudy's office swung open and out came Rudy. "Jerry, what are you doing?" He asked. Out of complete shock, Jerry tossed the phone, luckily Milton was able to catch it and swiftly put it in his shirt pocket.

"N-n-nothing, Rudy, why?" He said, forming an innocent pose.

"Good, I need you to come pick up some stuff from my mom's" Rudy explained. "I'll meet you in the van, okay?"

Jerry was now leaning against the locker with his arms folded. "Yeah, okay, sounds good, meet you there in like—now." He gave a stern look to Milton before following Rudy out the dojo doors. Milton looked around awkwardly before making a fast pace walk towards Phil's.

An hour later, Jack and Jerry came walking into Phil's, finding Milton sitting in their usual booth. His eyes were glued to a certain cell phone in his hands. "So what did you find?" Jerry asked anxiously, taking a seat next to Milton in the booth.

"Well her whole inbox is filled with texts from a guy named Jeff." Milton replied, placing the phone in front of him on the table. "I haven't opened any of the texts yet. Too be honest I'm a little scared to." It was

"Good thing you didn't, Milton, we only took her phone to find out who she was texting, we found that out now we have to put it back before she gets out of the shower." Jack said, reaching for the phone. But Jerry was one step ahead of him and swiped it for himself.

"No way , dude, we gotta find out what they're talking about." Jerry said, unlocking the phone.

"Jerry, it's wrong, we have to find another way other than going through her personal belongings." Jack said, swiping the phone from his grasp in a spilt second. He was about to head back to the dojo, but the doors to the restaurant swung opening, revealing Kim with her hair still wet, probably from the shower, but at least she was wearing clothes.

"Guys, have you seen my phone?" She asked in a state of alarm. Jack quickly hid the phone behind his back and put an innocent face on.

"Nope, haven't seen it, why?" Jack said a little too fast, because Kim gave him a suspicious expression.

"What's behind your back, Jack?" Kim asked, stepping up closer to him.

She trying peeking behind his back but Jack quickly took a few steps back, "N-nothing." He stuttered.

She smirked before wrapping her arms around his neck. "Awh, Jacky!" she said in her sweet, loving voice. When she got close enough, she swiped whatever was in his hand into hers. "My phone!" She said when she realized what she had taken.

"Kim, I can explain!" Jack said in his defense, but Kim had already left towards the dojo. "Kim, wait!" He said, chasing after her. Milton and Jerry gave each other looks that they definitely did something wrong.

"Want some pickled carrots?" Jerry asked.

"Order up!"

Jack ran after her in the dojo up until she stopped at her locker, "Kim, wait, lemme explain!" He said, tapping her on the shoulder.

"Don't, Jack, I get it." She said with a whole ton of attitude in her tone. "I see now, I can trust you anymore. I just can't believe you'd do something like that." She said.

Jack's jaw almost dropped in shock but also in agony. "What are you saying, Kim?" He asked.

"I'm saying—"She was cut off by the sound of her phone going off. "Hello? Oh, Jeff, you're outside the dojo? I'll meet you there in a sec." She said before hanging up the phone. She walked by Jack as if he wasn't there in the first place and made her way outside the dojo.

Who's this Jeff person anyways? Thoughts like that were rushing through Jack's head.

When Kim came back in she was carrying one of the nicest skate boards he'd ever seen in his life. It was all black with Chinese calligraphy written on it with blue flames. He smiled when he noticed the word "Wasabi" written in green, black and white, in a graphite style. He noticed the wheels were of the latest design in the line of Metal Shredders, this model came out only a week ago and they were almost impossible to find in stores. "Kim, what is this?"

"It's a present—for you." She said, handing the board to Jack. A blush crept up on her cheeks as she did.

Jack was in complete shock now, "A present? For me?" He asked. "What for, it's not even my birthday."

"Well the guys told me your skate board broke and my cousin Jeff works at the Skate shop across the mall so I thought I'd get you something, y'know cause you really need." She said blushing even more now.

"Woah, thanks, Kim, it means a lot." He said with the charming smile Kim always loved to see on his face. "I'm sorry about earlier, I guess I was just a little jealous that you were texting this guy a lot, I had no idea he was your cousin." Jack said in embarrassment.

"It's okay, Jack, I forgive you." She said smiling before coming up to his level and pecking his lips.

He placed the new skate board in his locker before saying, "Come on, I'll treat you to a corndog from Captain Corndogs." He took her hand in his before leading her out the doors, feeling that same feeling he did last night when she placed her head on his shoulder.

This chapter was a lot longer than I planned it to be.

Please review and tell me how you like the story and the idea.

Also, I realize how bad the title of the story is. Don't worry about it, at some point I'll come up with a better name. If you have any suggestions, lemme know! :)

Once again I don't own Kickin' It!

Until next time!
