(A / N): Hey guys! So, this is my first story. I'm not exactly the best writer, so if some of my grammar and sentences aren't perfect, sorry! Also, I added a new character to this story so don't be confused when this guy's name pops up and you have NO idea who he is haha.

Summary: Jack has always held a small flame for Kim, but when an old member of the dojo comes back and threatens Jack and Kim's relationship, will Jack realize his small flame isn't as small as he thought?

Chapter 1: History, Perhaps?

Jack Anderson skated his way down the streets of his San Jose neighborhood. It was a warm day. The sky was dark blue without a cloud in sight, and the perfectly mowed lawns of every house on Bodega Street were greener than ever. It was a perfect day for the beach, Jack thought.

The only thing missing now was his best friend, Kim Crawford.

Kim Crawford was one of the most beautiful girls at Seaford High School. Maybe even San Jose itself. She was blonde, petite, had the most alluring brown eyes, and was quite tan for someone who spent most of their time indoors practicing Karate. Yes, Kim may have been a pretty face, but she was a pretty face that knew how to kick butt.

Maybe that was why Jack was so drawn to her. Kim wasn't afraid to step foot out of her expected social circle. In fact, she enjoyed spending her free time with the Wasabi Warriors, not the Seaford Pep Squad. Honestly, Jack never understood why Kim associated herself with a skater and a bunch of "losers", as everyone else labeled them, but he loved and appreciated it more every day. With Kim around, Jack felt nothing like an outcast. Neither did the others. She had a way of making the guys feel like they could fit in anywhere, be anyone they wanted to be.

Yeah, it was obvious. Kim Crawford had captured all the attention of Jack Anderson. Of course she would never know that, because not even Jack knew it.

Jack picked up his skateboard as he reached the Bobby Wasabi Dojo. Eddie, Jerry, and Milton were inside already, but Jack could tell by their faces that something was up and it wasn't making them happy.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" Jack asked as he walked in.

"The cat just dragged in a rat." Milton said, turning away from Rudy's office to face Jack. Jack then noticed that Rudy's door was closed, and Rudy never closed his door unless he was attending to important "business". Or he was just on the toilet.

"We'd be happy for you to join our team." Rudy's office door opened, and Rudy walked out, his hand on the shoulder of a large, dark haired, muscular boy.

"Wait, what?" Milton quickly interjected.

"You heard him, Milly! I'm joining the team!" The guy exclaimed slapping Milton's back practically shoving him to the ground. Milton straightened himself up and glared intently at the guy. Jack looked over at Jerry and Eddie, who were both standing very stiff, their arms crossed over their chests. Jack didn't know who this guy was, or why the guys seemed so opposed to him, but he was honestly fairly intimidated by how big this guy was. He wasn't even sure this kid was their age.

"Bray?" Suddenly all heads turned to the dojo doors. Kim stood there, her eyes fixated on the guy now identified as Bray.

The look on Kim's face made Jack feel uneasy about the entire situation. What was he detecting from Kim's expression? Some history, perhaps?

(A / N): Okay, so I know this chapter is really short, and a bit cliffy, but I promise the chapters will get longer and better. Right now, I just have an essay for class to write and I wanted to get this thing started ha.

Anyways, review! If I get at least three, I will upload another chapter by tomorrow morning :)
