A week later they were finally headed to the All Valley tournament. They trained for this for the better part of the last school year. And of course it was today that Sensei Lawrence decided to take his sweet ass time, coming to the sports centre. Bert even mentioned that he didn't think he would come to the tournament and that he had seen him very drunk the day before. The picture that he painted reminded her all too well of the descriptions her mom always gave her of her dad. But not only that, they also had an overeager and heartbroken Miguel to deal with. And all because of that LaRusso princess that Sasha couldn't stand for whatever reason. She couldn't even understand it herself, but something about that poised girl got on Sashas nerves. Even more than Moon did.

But luckily it wasn't all too long until the Sensei came about. He gave some aggressive speech about showing no mercy and winning this thing but Sam could not concentrate on anything he said. She was preoccupied with comparing her Sensei with the few memories she had of her dad and the descriptions her mother used to give her.

She still didn't come to a conclusion when the tournament started and she was so concentrated that she didn't call out her brother's name until he jogged by her without even noticing she existed. He was too focused on staring daggers into Miguel to even notice her standing right next to her. She also couldn't help but catch an intense look that Robbie and sensei Lawrence shared. Maybe he actually could be her father. But why didn't he recognize her? If not by her looks, then by her name on the sign up sheet? It might be normal for an eight year old to forget a name. Especially when they tried so hard to forget everything as she did. All she remembered was that his first name was Johnny, that he called her Baby and that he was a drunk. After the introduction she turned to Miguel and asked him about their Senseis first name.

"It's Johnny, why?"

"Nothing important. Just needed some motivation.", she said while cracking her knuckles.

By the time her first match came around, she was so angry that she truly became merciless. Her fury fueled her moves while her opponent, some guy from the Topanga Dojo, struggled to keep up with his defense. Sasha didn't allow him to start one single attempt to go into offence against her. She just saw red and didn't realize the fight was over when the ref tried to take her hand to signal her win. Suddenly she kicked her knee into his stomach.

"Uff. You are disqualified. This win goes to the Topanga Dojo! And you young lady, better get your anger in check."

Sasha stormed off the matt, closely followed by her Sensei.

"What was that? Since when do you have troubles managing your anger? Do you know how you made us look out there? This was our first fight since the ban was lifted and you give them a reason to reinstate it. Do you have anything to say to your defense, chicka?"

"Do you even know my name?"

"Yeah, it's Sasha. What about it?"

"That's it? You never thought to check for my last name?"

"No, why should I?"

"Maybe because I have the exact same name as your daughter? It isn't like there are soo many Sashas in the Valley. But you know what? It doesn't matter anymore. All you and mom ever cared about was Robby. But you know what? I don't care anymore. You can piss off. After this tournament you won*t ever have to see me again, asshole. I want you to disappear out of my life. It's what you're best at anyways, isn't it, Dad?!"

The distaste in her voice made the older man flinch, while the revelation that she was his daughter left him startled. She took off, back to the tournament to support her friends. And also to maybe get another look at her brother.

Hers was the last match in the qualifications, so when she came back, she already saw Miguel fight his quarterfinals. He held himself really well but it was nothing against the passion that Hawk fought with. Only thing really annoying was hearing Moon scream how hot he is. But even that hippie bitch couldn't destroy her pleasure of seeing his tattoo dancing over his shoulders. So now it was time for the semi finals. The first time she could see Robby again was when he stepped on stage to stand beside Miguel and the moderator.

First Miguel beat that whiney boy from Topanga.

Then it was time for Robby's match against Hawk. Before Eli even stepped on the mat, he saw her. His eyes looked straight into hers and all she could see was shock. He started to walk toward her.

"Baby. Is that you?"

Hawk suddenly jumps in front of her.

"Hey, nobody calls her Baby."

Sasha couldn't deal with this right now. She used to be so excited to see her brother again, but now that he finally acknowledged her, it all became too much. She turned around and ran out of the hall. The last she heard was a quick exchange between her brother and her friend, before the ref blew his whistle and the match started.

"Well, I do. And the moment I don't, is the moment I lie dead in my grave."

"Oh, it is on you prick. Prepare to face the fury of the Hawk."
