The difference a sister can make

Chapter Eight: The Karate Kid: Sibling confrontations part two

~(^.^)~

Jessie stormed through her house and up to her brother's room the second she got home. She didn't bother to knock, just flung the door open and stomped over to her brother who was lying on his bed, a bag of frozen peas on his face. The second he saw his sister's face he knew he was in for it. Her eyes were stormy and her face a mask of fury. He stood up and held his hands out at her in a placating gesture.

"Jessie…"

Before he could say anything else she smacked him upside the head. He cringed as her hand made contact with the bruise on the side of his face.

"What the hell is the matter with you?!" She screeched.

"Ow, Jessie seriously," He muttered, rubbing his sore face.

"How could you do something like that? What the hell is wrong with you?" Jessie questioned, pacing back and forth like a caged animal.

"Hey he started it!" Johnny defended.

Jessie turned and advanced on him, causing him to back up against the bedroom wall.

"He dumped water on your head. That's it, and he only did it because he was trying to impress Ali! And I told him off for it! But you! You went overboard. You could have killed him! I can understand being mad at him, but to beat him up so bad you knock him unconscious and then continue to try to beat up on him is wrong on so many levels. You didn't have to beat up on him, you could have been the bigger person and ignored him or dumped him in a pool or something. Not beat him till he can't move!" Jessie raged.

"The enemy deserves no mercy," Johnny stated, scowling.

And once more Jessie slapped him upside the head, causing him to groan in pain.

"Do you even hear how fucking psychotic you sound! Daniel LaRusso is not your enemy. He's just another kid who you don't like cause he hangs out with me and Ali. All this no mercy bullshit is fucked up, and that teacher of yours is fucking crazy! I mean who the hell teaches that kind of shit to kids?!"

"Hey, Sensei Kreese teaches us to defend ourselves…"

"No, he teaches you how to be a bully! How to beat the shit out of someone and then keep on beating them even after they're down on the ground. No sane adult would teach that kind of crap to kids. You could have killed Daniel tonight! And then where would you have been, huh?! In jail for murder, and your friends would have been right there with you for accessory to murder! Did you even stop to think about what you where doing?! I could have lost both of you in one night because you can't think past your damn anger and be smart," Jessie sobbed, tears streaming down her face once more.

Johnny stared at his sister for a moment, shock running through him. She wasn't just angry at him because he beat up her friend. That was part of it, but she was also angry because she was afraid to loose him. Honestly he thought she hated him at this point. But now he didn't know what to think.

"Jessie… I'm sorry! I…I…"

Johnny couldn't seem to find the words. Jessie shook her head and tried to wipe the tears off her face.

"You're stupid! You're a stupid, hot headed, idiot!" She muttered.

Johnny pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her and sitting his chin on the top of her head.

"I'm sorry. I just get so angry sometimes, and I act before thinking. I'm sorry," He whispered into her hair.

Jessie dug her fingers into her brother's shirt and cried into his chest. She was mad as all hell at him, and he wasn't getting off the hook for beating up Daniel so easily. But she'd missed her brother and his hugs, so she let him hug her as she cried. They stood like that for a few minutes before Jessie pulled away from him. She looked over his face for a moment, noting the bruise that was forming around one of his eyes.

"Just so you know you're not getting off the hook so easily. Now sit down and let me have a look at your eye you idiot," She muttered, pushing him towards his bed.

He smiled slightly and sat down, letting her look over his face.

"It's not that bad. I don't think Mr. Miyagi hit you that hard," Jessie whispered, putting the bag of frozen peas back over his eye.

"Miyagi? That's that crazy old man that jumped us?" Johnny asked.

Jessie frowned and gently cuffed him upside his head.

"He's not crazy, and he didn't jump you guys. He stepped in to stop you guys from killing Daniel, and to do so he had to kick your guy's asses. He's actually very nice, and sweet," Jessie explained.

Johnny rolled his eyes but didn't argue.

"You'll be fine, he didn't hurt you too bad, you big baby. I'm still mad at you by the way… but just because I'm mad at you doesn't mean I don't love you. You're still my annoying twin brother. You just have to stop being such a jerk to everyone whose not me or one of the Cobra kai boys."

Johnny just nodded his head in response. He thought that after what happened tonight his sister would never talk to him ever again. But she was always full of surprises.

"Night Johnny," Jessie whispered, walking towards the door.

"Night Jessie," Johnny whispered back.

Jessie made her way to her room. Once inside she shed her Halloween costume and pulled on pajamas, then flopped down on her bed. Her mind wouldn't stop racing. She couldn't really make sense of her emotions. She knew Daniel shouldn't have dumped water on Johnny's head, that's what caused all of this in the first place. So she was kind of annoyed with him for that. Which made her feel like crap because Daniel had gotten the crap beat out of him for it as payment.

But her brother didn't have to beat him up like he did. He went way to far, and she almost lost both of them tonight because he couldn't control his temper. She was mad as all hell at her brother for what he'd done. And she hated it! She loved her brother, so she hated being angry with him. It made her feel empty inside.

Why couldn't he and Daniel get along? It would be so much easier if the two of them where friends. She sighed and buried her face in her pillow. She had to get up in the morning so she could meet Daniel and Mr. Miyagi at the Cobra Kai Dojo tomorrow morning. She'd meant what she said to Daniel. She wasn't going to go back into that Dojo while Kreese was still there, that man just creeped her out. But she'd wait outside the Dojo for the two of them to see how things went.

She fell into a fitful sleep that night, images of the fight between the Cobra's and Daniel replaying in her mind as she slept…

~(^.^)~

AN: Yeah so she was planning on just telling him off, but things kind of went sideways for her. She's very mad at her brother, but she also worried for him. She knows his anger issues could get him in serious trouble one day and she's trying to head that off before it happens. She's not really sure how she feels. She's mad but she also misses her brother and the relationship they used to have. Her minds just all over the place at this point. I feel so bad for putting her through all this, but things will get better eventually!
