01: Chores (Version 1)

Genre: Humour.

"You want me to wax cars with a sponge?" Hikigaya asked.

"Yes." Shizuka Hiratsuka said. "Remember to move your hands and arm in a circle."

"Wax on." Mr. Miyagi said. "Wax off."

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at them both. "You know what? I'm not doing that." He looked at his sensei. "I thought you brought me here to learn karate."

"And you are going to learn karate." Shizuka replied. She pointed at the old man and spoke with pride in her voice. "Miyagi-sensei taught me karate. I know his method seems weird, but it's really effective. This is how I learnt. And so will you."

"Never could get her to paint my fence." Mr. Miyagi mumbled underneath his breath.

"What?" Hikigaya asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Shizuka Hiratsuka was embarrassed. Suddenly it didn't seem like a good idea to have her rotten dead fish eyed student and her old karate instructor in the same room. She needed a distraction. A good one. And so, she did the first thing that came to her mind.

"Dodge!" Shizuka shouted.

Hachiman Hikigaya doubled over in pain. Her fist connected to his gut and his world turned dark as he collapsed onto the floor.

Mr. Miyagi looked at his former student and shook his head. "Hiratsuka-san, do you remember the two rules of Miyagi-Ryu Karate?" Shizuka Hiratsuka had the decency to blush and look down, embarrassed. Mr. Miyagi, knowing he wasn't going to get a reply, continued. "Rule number one: Karate for defense only. Rule number two -"

"-First learn rule number one." Shizuka replied in a small voice.

Hachiman Hikigaya groaned from the floor and said something unintelligible. Shizuka Hiratsuka glared at him, having no sympathy for his miserable plight. She crossed her arms and looked at the old man with petulance similar to a child. "Well, I was defending myself. From his rotten attitude!" she said in a louder voice.

Mr. Miyagi looked on, face unreadable. He even produced a pair of chopsticks from somewhere and tried to capture a fly which kept buzzing, annoyingly over Hikigaya's prone form. What's the big deal? He's not dead yet, Shizuka thought.

Hiratsuka tried once more. "Look, just teach him some stuff. To defend himself." She quickly added. "He was bullied."

Mr. Miyagi listened to her words. He gave the barest of nods. And Shizuka knew she had done a good thing. Hikigaya will thank her one day.

"Teach him to paint your fence." Shizuka said with a smile. "Up and down. Up -"

"And down." Mr. Miyagi added.

The two of them shared a small smile.

As expected, Hachiman Hikigaya ruined the moment by groaning from the floor. "Whatever. I will wax your stupid cars." He added. "But I won't clean your toilet."
