Hi…it's me again. I still am writing This Means War, although I still need at least 1 more review…so please do! Anyway, this idea popped into my head just this morning and I couldn't hold it in so I decided to make the first chapter right now! So, enjoy my Karate Kickers! Oh and just to let you know, there will eventually be Kick. And PM me if you know the figure whom Kim is referring to at the end and you will get to create an OC that I will add to the story. It can be a boy, or a girl, or anyone whom you think will add a little drama to the story. I will need the name of the character, their age, their birthday, any characteristics, appearance and the way you want them to mix up the story to add even more drama then there already is. So yeah, read, review and something else that starts with an R. It can be the 3 story R's!(Just kidding.)

Kim's POV

They all left. One by one. For one reason or another. Starting with Jerry, then Eddie, then Milton, and ending with Jack. Just vanished. Like poof! Like a magic wand was waved over them causing them to disappear. They all said they started losing faith in Bobby Wasabi after all the times we were let down by Bobby and Rudy. But that isn't true. They themselves were the reasons they lost faith. They never showed up at practices because "they had better things to do". Then, they didn't show up for any tournaments, so I was forced to do all the events. But Grace, Julie, Kelsey and Zoey, my cousin, joined the dojo so it kind of became a girl dojo. Rudy didn't mind though. He just wanted to make Bobby Wasabi proud. And he is doing that very well. I say so, and everyone else says so too.

Occasionally, I pass one of the boys in the hallway, but I never say a word. They are traitors. And I do not plan on talking to them any time soon. They betrayed me. They went against the Bobby Wasabi code. I will never forgive them for that. Ever. But I don't mind much anymore. I've got true friends. Turn's out, I don't need any of them. I quit the pep squad, stopped sitting at the popular people table, and gave every ounce of my popularity to Felicia, the one person who never had belong to any group. But now she does. And I couldn't be happier. But instead, I turned smart. Like, Julie smart. I did everything it took to become an intellectually gifted person.

After a few months since the gang quit, I haven't seen them around. I don't know why. Just around a month ago, I saw them plenty of times. Some say they all moved, and some say they died. But I couldn't care less. I couldn't care less about their condition. Dead or alive, I will always hate them. Hate them with my guts. They were my best friends, but not anymore. But mainly, my mind is on the dojo. My second home.

My mind has been occupied with the dojo's skill. We are amazing! We have 3 shelves filled with trophies. Rudy is really happy. I even saw him cry once when he was cleaning them. I also heard him say this:

"Bobby, are you proud of me? I did it. It might not have been the boys and Kim I trained. But I did train a whole bunch of young girls capable of great things. Is that worth something?" and a smile lit up on my face. Rudy is an amazing guy. Bobby HAS to be proud.

Sometimes, I wonder the real reason the gang quit. Maybe it was because of me…maybe I did something wrong. Rudy would hate me for that! That must be it. I need to confront Rudy.

"Rudy? Can I ask you something?" I ask him one day after practice. Everyone already left so it's just me and Rudy. I can't ask him that when all the girls are around.

"Sure thing Kim. What is it?" Rudy asks me, giving me a look of interest. He always does that. Whenever I ask him something, it's usually something important I can't ask anybody except Rudy. Rudy is like a dad to me. My real dad left me when I was a baby and my mom didn't want me, so I live with my aunt. I try to push out as many adults in my life as possible cause I don't want to face the same thing again. But so far, I've let in my aunt and Rudy. That's good enough for me.

"Rudy, is it my fault that Jerry, Eddie, Milton and Jack left?" I ask him, a tear waiting to escape from my eye. I can see Rudy. He's sad. I can tell because his eyes look all glassy. He pulls me into a hug.

"No Kim. It's not your fault. It's nobody's fault but theirs. They made a mistake, but we got to keep living life like nothing happened. Cause that's the way it goes. God puts an obstacle in your way, and you overcome it, one way or another." he whispers, wiping the tears from my eyes. "You know what? When Jack left, he said only one thing to me. He said 'Take care of Kim for me' and I only nodded. He loves you Kim. Jack really does love you."

"Well I don't love him. Or like him. I despise him." I say, pulling away from Rudy. "Rudy, thank you for comforting me. You truly are like a dad for me, but if you think saying what Jack said when he left is going to affect me in any way, then you're wrong. I still hate him. And I know you only mean well, but I can truly say, you could even bring him back! But I wouldn't care. Cause I'll just go on with life." I tell him, then walk away.

Life is perfect. It's been two years since I've seen the gang though. I don't even know why I'm keeping count. They're not worth it. But for some reason, I can't stop. It's like someone is controlling me and they won't let me forget them. I want to so bad though. Then I will truly have moved on. If only that day would come quicker…but time seems to be going slower than normal. Well, I feel like it is.

TODAY

KIM'S POV

I'm walking the hallway to my locker so I can put my books in and head to the dojo since Rudy called the girls and I to tell us we needed to meet him there after school. Shoving my books in, I spot Julie, Grace and Kelsey walking together. I run up to them and join them. We were talking about how it's been 2 years since the guys left. Weird topic I do say so myself. I could see tears in Julie's eyes. She really loved Milton. Milton never dumped her, you know. They were the sweetest couple ever. A mad storm of Nerd Love that could never be broken. And it broke her heart big time when Milton left. It took Grace and I 3 days to coax her out of her room. She looked like a mess though when we did. And I could tell Grace liked Jerry. Like, A LOT. Even though she did go on a date with Eddie, he started taking interest in Kelsey. And boy did Kelsey freak out when she found out about it. It's like the girls liked one of the guys in the gang.

You know, except for Jack and I. To be honest, I never had a crush on him. Although it seemed like got upset every time I said it, as if he actually liked me. But, I hate him now. He's a lying, backstabbing freak. Not in a mean way though. But ever since he became a 3rd degree black belt, he acted really cocky and acted like he was the best thing ever. Even more girls swooned over him, and it freaked me out how he changed so much. But what surprised me even more was the fact he was the last one to quit the dojo. He should have been the first. But I guess not.

When we get to the dojo, we see Rudy jumping up and down on the mats, kicking dummies as he lands on the ground.

"Do you know what happened?" Rudy asks us. We shake our heads since we don't know. But since Rudy is doing his happy dance, it must be really important. "WE'RE GOING TO FRANCE! WE'RE GOING TO COMPETE IN THE WORLDWIDE KARATE CHAMPIONSHIPS! IT'S BEING HOSTED IN PARIS THIS YEAR! AND WE GOT FIRST CLASS TICKETS SO WE CAN GO THERE!"

Kelsey and Grace scream, and Julie and I have shocked looks on our faces. Paris? The one place I've wanted to go to all my life? This is the best news ever.

"We're leaving next week since summer starts then. So pack your bags and I'll let you know the rest of the details prior to the date. Oh and there's one catch…" Rudy tells us, with a scared look on his face. This must be bad. "We're teaming up with another group. The black dragons. But don't worry, the members are totally different people than last year. But you will recognize them."

We just nod our heads and make our way out. We're having a sleepover at Julie's house since it's a Friday night. When we get there, we put our stuff in Julie's room, pop some popcorn and have a movie marathon. Half way through Journey 2, I realize I forgot my bag at the dojo. I quickly tell Grace to tell Julie I'm going back to the dojo to grab my bag and run out of the room. It's almost 10:00pn, and Rudy usually leaves then. I run to the mall which fortunately isn't very far from Julie's house and race to the dojo. Before I open the doors, I see 2 figures…Rudy and someone else…someone familiar. I can hear them saying something.

"Please! I know you like her! And this will be your chance to win her heart! Listen to me, prove you're not the cocky person you were before you left." Rudy whispers to the figure. I squint my eyes to get a better look at the person. I can see some characteristics that match those of someone I know…wait. Now I know…it's him…the snobby, cocky person who left 2 years ago. I can't take it anymore. I open the doors really hard, causing them to slam against the wall. Rudy and the figure turn around and my guess is correct. It is him.

"Kim?" he asks me, and I can see Rudy is running out of the room, screaming and scooping up Tip-tip. He runs into his office and slams the door. I face the figure and walk up to him. I look at his gi. The Black Dragons. I can only say one thing.

"You…"

And there you go! The first chapter of Kickin' It Alone! Review my KK's. I am going to ask for at least 5 reviews for the next chapter if it isn't too much. Anyway, take care! If you have any suggestions to make this story better as well, I'll be happy to use them. Oh and I have a question? Do you want me to continue this? Cause I don't want to waste my time if it's not going to be worth anything(sorry, I've been really busy lately since my grade 6 grad is on Wednesday and I have a lot of work to finish for my last minute report card marks), so yeah. Tell me in the reviews if you want me to continue it.

Forever Yours,

Hiruthika
