Author's note: I don't own any of the characters except for Chiyo.
"Left kick. Right kick. Left. Right. I said RIGHT!"
"Am I doing right?"
"No, you're doing the left."
"Woops."
"Ok, now you did the right one right."
"Let me ask, why are we doing this again?"
"And let me answer for the FOURTH time, cause you need to be able to defend yourself if I'm not there!"
"Do we still have to continue? We've been doing this for hours!"
"Yes. We still continue."
"Can we take a break?"
"No." was the firm reply.
1 minute later…..
"Are we done yet?"
"No"
"How about now?"
"no."
"Now?"
"no."
"ARE WE DONE YET!???"
"Yes."
"Really?" Cody sighed with relief.
"NO!"
A few hours later, Cody was glistening with sweat. He walked down the dark alley towards the Tipton. The last few sunrays were fading, and street lights were flickering on.
He stopped. His heart started hammering in his chest. Surly the world could here it. He was sure the gang who surrounded him could. Why had he taken the dark alley. He asked himself. And why didn't he be careful. And why wasn't he looking out for them?
Too late to ask.
He's been practicing martial arts with Chiyo for a month now. He still met Zack's gang every night, and they still rape him and take his blood for money. Cody didn't even put up a fight even though he learnt plenty of self defense. They called him a coward.
He called himself a coward.
The 200 pound black dude, Bill-E was his name, walked toward him. He pinned Cody's arm behind his back. Zack threw down his cigarette. He stamped the fire out of it.
Zack walked towards Cody. He stopped when they were nose to nose. Zack was a little surprised that Cody's eyes showed defiance. Usually they were just scared. Zack didn't show surprise.
"Bill-E. Take out the needle. Take a pack of blood. Then we rape him."
Bill-E pushed the dirty neddle into Cody's wrist. Red liquid began to drip into the pack. Zack snickered. "Know what. I feel like some extra cigarretes. Take two packs from the coward who can't even stand up for itself."
This time, Cody thought he had leanrt enough self-defense. He would use all the self defense he learnt, even if he had his neck broken by the gang, it would be worth it.
Cody ripped out the needle. He kicked backwards and hit Bill-E right in his groin.
He was released by Bill-E immediately. With lightning speed, he punched Zack in the face. There was a sickening crack. He must have broken Zack's nose. Mark, Deon and Jim walked towards him. The rest of the gang stayed where they were, no daring to move.
Before Cody could even take up a classic defense position, Mark kicked him in the face. Without thinking, Cody acted,
Flashes of Chiyo's lessons.
"When the opponent uses a kick, the rest of him is vurnerable."
Cody seised Marks's leg even when his face was facing the sky from being kicked on the chin.
He turned back to face Mark, and both teens were surprised that Cody had seized Mark's right leg.
Instinctly, Cody lashed his leg and hit Mark in the stomach. Mark doubled over and Cody used this opportunity, he sent his arm right in the back of Mark's head. Mark fell unconscious to the ground.
Seeing their gang mate has fallen, Jim and Deon rushed toward Cody.
"When attacked by two, faking an attack is a good stragedy."
Cody lashed out at Jim, and from the corner of his eye, he sees Deon getting ready to hit him.
Deon definetly thought he had no need to defend himself when attacking him. Cody suddenly turned, and punched Deon in the face.
Deon fell to the ground, whimpering and covering his face.
Jim saw this and ran for it.
The rest of the gang ran. Leaving Zack and Kelvin. Kelvin ran up and hit him in the face.
Blinded by blood temporary, Cody stumbled, and got caught into Kelvin's iron grip. Kelvin held him as Zack ran up to him.
"I'm about to teach you how to paralyze a person with a touch of two fingers."
