Disclaimer: *looks around and smiles.* O.k. I'm alone, I own only Layla Brewer! "YO!" Jerry seriously! -,- "Can we write a chapter?!" Noh... Jerry, Milton and Eddie you know that this is my story! "Fine! We are going to get a smoothie!" What? I don't want prarnapus in my story "But Its emotional!" No way! But can I have a smoothie :D "No way!" You guys are mean ;.; *laughs* :'P
Previously on Dark Dragon: Jack Brewer had finally beaten Carson and proved that he was in fact a cheater! His friends couldn't believe they had doubted him. They all circled their friend and started to say how sorry they were. But before they could ask Him to rejoin the dojo Jack collapsed causing utter panic. Waking up in hospital to find himself alone made Jack very confused and annoyed. When he finally had visitors it wasn't who he was expecting. Now caught in Sensei Lee's trap! Jack's only one option is to... obey.
Sorry for the delay guys! Here's chappie five :'D
Chapter Five ~ Obeying orders!
*Jack's POV*
Just as Sensei Lee had said, someone came and took me to the dojo. The day sure does fly by... when you doing nothing.
Ty parked the car in the Mall lot and jumped out keeping a watchful eye on me.
"This way Brewer." He pointed to the mall entrance. I followed after him, I was in no mood to argue. On our way to the Black Dragons, we started to pass by my old dojo. I managed to take a peek inside. What I saw made me stop in my tracks, all of the warriors were there. I kept staring at my so called friends, laughing and practising while I was meant to be in the hospital. Didn't they care that I was there? Had they even bothered to check up on me?
"Brewer. Lets go." Ty said in what sounded like a warning tone. Why was he being so serious for? Was he really that scared of my uncle? I followed him again. At least pretending to hate my friends was going to be a little easier now. I was seriously annoyed, so much for their loyalty and for the Wasabi code!
"Ah Jackson!" My death glare found Carson. He was waiting outside the front door of the Black Dragons.
"Back off Carson." Ty sighed as he ushered me inside. I pushed Ty's hands off me and walked in by myself.
"Finally, took you long enough." Sensei Lee sighed. He got off the bench and strolled over to me. "Oh how I love that look in your eye, Jack!" He smirked. I said nothing to him, I just kept my glare. I was in no mood to talk with anyone right now, my mind was still else where. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't see Lee's kick. It hit me hard in my side. I feel to the floor crying out in agony. It was almost as if he had known my weakness, but surely not...
"Oops." He chuckled "Bit too hard Jack? Well at least I have your attention now." I got back to my feet ignoring my screaming side. I could hear laughs from the Black Dragons surrounding us. I didn't look to them, I just kept my eyes on Lee. Next time he tired that, he wouldn't get too far. It was weird, my anger was overflowing. It felt like my Dark side had started to completely take over...
"Ok then. Here's your tracksuit and Gi." He handed me a bag filled with the loser gear. I took it off him and placed it at my feet.
"Anything else.." I muttered. Sensei Lee tensed but didn't move. "Well...?" Lee went to punch me but I caught it, barley. I went to punch him back but I was firmly pulled backwards. My arms where wrapped around my back and I was brought to my knees.
"Let me go!" I shouted looking behind me. I noticed that Ty and Carson had grabbed me. Seeing Carson there only made me more pissed.
"ENOUGH JACKSON!" Lee shouted. I froze as I saw it gleam in the light. He held it to my throat and grinned. "Seriously boy when will you learn respect?"
"Maybe when they let go of me." I growled nodding my head towards them.
"Maybe I should carve 'respect' into your skin. Then you may learn what it means." I tensed again as he moved the blade down to my chest. I struggled against the people restraining me, but I couldn't get loose. Sensei Lee lifted up my shirt with one hand and with his other, containing the blade, he pressed it into my skin. The pain was excruciating, I tried so hard not to cry out, for well knowing that was what he was after. He carved in the letter 'R' into my right side. It wasn't deep nor was it big, but you could clearly see what it said.
"There." Sensei Lee smiled at his handy work before dropping my t-shit, which was now starting to get smudged in my blood. "Let him go. -" They did as he said and I was sent to the floor, face first. "-Now Jack. Go home and get yourself some sleep. We shall see you here after school tomorrow. Remember to wear the tracksuit to school and to bring the Gi to practice."
"Yes Sensei!" I said with a little sarcasm. He didn't notice the tone and nodded his goodbye. I slowly regained my balance, ignoring my screaming side and stinging chest, I walked out of the dojo with what ever dignity I had left.
I walked away from the eye sight of all the Dragons and I waited until I was completely out of the mall, before I hit something. I was just so angry, I couldn't seem to control myself. I really didn't understand why I was this annoyed. Normally I'd be cocky instead of acting this way. I should of been able to sense what was going to happen. Why hadn't I been able to get out of Ty and Carson's grasp? Right now I felt so weak...
'Hahahaha' I froze at the sound of laughter from my old friends. The doors of the mall opened. I knew that if they saw me they would have a thousand questions to ask. That or I'd argue with them. So I quickly dived behind the nearest corner, just as they emerged.
"Hey I swear I saw someone here just now, yo!" Jerry said rubbing his chin confused. Everyone rolled their eyes and carried on walking, Jerry followed them still looking over his shoulder. Funny how the stupidest person was the one who noticed me. For once I was glade they didn't listen to him. I turned and walked in the opposite direction to them, it would take me longer, but I knew my skateboard was at the mall somewhere.
Finally after a little of searching I found my board outside Phil's. After doing a few tricks and riding around the mall to clear my head, I rode home.
***** Dark Dragon *****
"Jackson Brewer!" My mother yelled as I walked through the front door. Again my anger boiled, I felt like I needed to punch something... This was driving me insane! Why couldn't I shake this off? To be honest though, I hate the use of my full name, so her calling me by that didn't help.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" I snapped throwing my bag and skate board down.
"It's your name!" She glared folding her arms. "Unless you want me to call you Jackson Junior Brewer!"
"Seriously don't call me that! I still can't believe you called me after my father! I hate the name as much as I hate HIM!"
"Well I shall call you what I want. Under this roof I'm in charge!" She folded her arms and looked me up and down. I realised that I was probably covered in some blood, sweat and I do believe that my t-shirt was ripped slightly.
"I'm going to my room." I turned away from her. Grabbing my stuff I walked towards the stairs. She stepped into my path blocking me though.
"Where have you been?" She demanded. I sighed in frustration, seriously what was her problem today? My eyes wandered and I saw the bottles of alcohol sitting on the table. That explains everything.
"Hospital and registering at a new Dojo." I smirked at her reaction to the word 'Hospital'. Of course she didn't know about that. She never cared, so why would she start now? Ever since my father left she never has been the same, always blaming me for everything. To everyone we where a happy family, but behind closed doors, this was how it was all the time. Mostly she'd be so drunk she wouldn't be able to remember anything. This is the reason I now need my karate, I can't take living at home any more, and this was all down to him... my father!
"Hospital..." She whispered with her mouth open.
"Hmmm..." I muttered. She looked me up and down again, finally her eyes found the blood.
"Jack you're.."
"Fine. I'm fine. I just want to go to my room." I sighed
"Ok then go to your room. But!" She stepped aside "You're grounded." I couldn't help it, I laughed rather loudly. I continued until I couldn't take the pain in my side any more. Every time she'd grounded me it never lasted.
"No one tells me what to do. You can't stop me from going out..." I walked past her up to my room, slamming the door behind me.
I threw my bag and skateboard down again and fell onto my bed.
I must of gone straight to sleep, because the next thing I heard was the annoying sound of my alarm clock was going off. I sat bolt upright and looked at the time.
"Crap" I muttered. It was 7:30, I had half an hour until I had to be at school. Today should be fun...
*Kim's POV* (Happens during start of Jack's pov)
My friends and I were still at the bobby Wasabi dojo. They were all laughing and messing around, I believe to try and lighten the mood. With Jack in the hospital nothing was the same. Myself and Layla had gone to there to visit him but...
-Flashback- (An hour ago)
"Hello how can I help you ladies?" Asked a doctor. We smiled at him and walked over. Finally we had found someone to help us, we have been wondering the corridors for ages. Jack was somewhere in this damn hospital but finding him was like; trying to find a needle in a haystack.
"We are here to visit Jack Brewer." I kept my smile as he looked onto the reception laptop monitor.
"Ah yes Mr..." He trailed off as he continued to read something. "Oh I'm sorry but he's not allowed any visitors."
"What do you mean?" I asked dropping my smile.
"He's asleep at the moment and won't be awake for a while..." Layla cut him off.
"That's ok, we just want to see him." She sighed fiddling with a letter in her hands.
"Sorry but I can't let you through. There is a note saying no visitors at all." The doctor shrugged "I'm sorry, it's out of my hands."
"Do you know when he's going to be released?" Layla asked. I could see that she was moments away from hitting him.
"I can only tell family members that information..." We both chuckled
"I'm Jack's Sister" Layla stated
"And you.." the doctor asked looking to me.
"I'm his..." I couldn't really say we where together, not after he ended it with me, could I?
"Girlfriend. They are dating." Layla winked at me. The doctor sighed as he looked back from us to the screen.
"He will be released this afternoon."
"Ok thanks doc" Layla smiled "Oh could you at least, give him this?" She handed him the letter.
"Of course." He smiled taking it from her. We then turned and headed back to the dojo.
-End of flashback-
I still can't believe we where not allowed to see him. Plus when we had gone back to wait for him, he'd never showed. According to the staff he had been given a lift home by someone...
Realising we weren't doing much practising Rudy sent us all home. Together we walked out of the dojo and after Jerry stopped muttering about 'someone was there yo', we all went our separate ways home.
Finally I arrived at my house, for some reason I felt exhausted. I guess it has been a long day after all. That night I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
***** Dark Dragon *****
'Ring, ring!' My alarm screamed into my ear at 7:15. Reluctantly I stretched and then started to get ready for school. I was hoping to see Jack today. I still felt like I should say how sorry I am for not believing him.
I pulled on a baby blue and pink stripped jacket over my white tank top and also I put on my favourite skinny jeans. As always my mother had my breakfast ready and waiting for me. I ate my toast and after putting my baby blue converses on, I headed out the door.
I arrived at school in record time, I walked through it's doors and waited for Jack, at his locker. A few minutes pasted and I feared that he wasn't going to be attending today. Finally with only five minutes before first period, he rushed in the main hall and headed straight over to me, well his locker. He seemed quite annoyed to see me standing here, at first I thought he was going to walk the other way, but he most probably needed his books or something.
"Jack, I'm really..." I couldn't find the words. I looked to the floor trying to pick my words carefully. He still hadn't said a word to me. He'd already reached his locker and was now putting in the combination. With his back turned I finally realised what he was wearing!
"Jack why are you wearing the Black Dragon tracksuit!" I shouted. He smirked slamming his locker. I hadn't realised how long I had been standing here saying nothing, as he had already opened and got his books out.
"Maybe because I'm a black dragon?" He sighed turning his back to me again and starting to walk away. I reached out and grabbed his arm pulling him backwards... he was so tense, it made me actually nervous to be this close to him. I wondered what was going through his mind right now, as his eyes kept darting to all different directions. I knew he had it too, the feeling of being watched. Most of the students have already gone to class, while the stragglers where hanging around to see if we were going to have a fight.
"Let go." He warned. The tone in which he used was threatening but at the same time he sounded... desperate? I didn't though, I wanted answers.
"Why Jack?"
"Why! Maybe because Wasabi dojo is a joke. You all broke the Wasabi code. What's the point in staying in a dojo that doesn't even apply to its own rules?" He smirked again at my shocked reaction, What the hells wrong with him? Did he hit his head hard or something? Or I was dreaming? That's it! This is all a dream and soon I'm going to wake up, and start the day again. And I'll shall meet my Jack and not this jerk! Deep down though I knew this wasn't a dream, no matter how much I wanted it to be.
"But..." He didn't let me finish.
"You said it before Kim." He smiled.
"I said what?!" I said looking at him confused.
"Everything at the Black dragons is the best of the best. If you train there, they will make you a champion." He glared "I've had enough of the lot of you. Using me as protection and then just casting me aside, whenever someone new comes through our doors. Rudy isn't a sensei, he acts more like a child. As for you, I know for a fact that you and Carson had kissed..."
"Jack that wasn't..!"
"Enough Kim. I don't care any more!"
"Why are you being such a jerk?!" I growled clutching my free fist tighter.
"I'm standing up for myself. I do it all the time. I just never thought I'd have to do it with my friends. Like I said before, so much for your loyalty!"
"Jack that was different.."
"How!" He shouted causing a few students to turn their heads to us.
"You're being Impossible!" He laughed at that.
"I am.. I am! Really?!" He laughter harder. I still don't understand what was so funny. "After everything I said to you about Carson, you just pushed me aside and ignored everything. Why the HELL should I even listen to you now?"
"Argh!" I shouted throwing a punch to him. Tears had appeared in my eyes, but I wouldn't let them fall, I wouldn't!
Just as I thought he caught the punch, his grip was so tight, it was actually hurting. I was waiting for his famous line and for what would follow that. I was ready! But could I take him?
"Wow. Just wow." He sighed shaking his head. "Fine Kim, you really want to fight me?" I thought about his question. Its true, I didn't, I just wanted to hit him, to get rid of all this frustrated anger. I relaxed my hand and he then let go.
"Just don't even bother to talk to me again!" I glared.
"Whatever. Works for me." With that said he pulled from my grip and headed to Frank and the others. I stared after him in shock. He really didn't care for me any more! The other warriors had seen the whole thing. Layla had gone off so Jerry had gone after her. Milton and Eddie came over to me.
"You ok?" Milton asked.
"Yeah..." Of course I wasn't, but I had to pretend to be.
"Come on." Eddie smiled as we headed to our first class.
It had finally happened. We had lost him. But I never ever thought we'd loose him to the Black Dragons...
*Jack's pov*
Today felt like my first day all over again, I was lonely and had enemies at every turn. Sadly though it seems that me and Kim are now over. I hated to lie and shout at her, but this was for the best. Maybe we can start again once this is all over, but would she trust me again? Will this end?
I stepped out onto the black dragons mat and started to stretch, it was strange being in the black uniform surrounded by so many students. Even I have to admit that the dojo is pretty awesome looking, it's just the sensei and students I dislike.
Sensei Lee and Ty sent student after student at me. After a while I was fighting two or three at once. Every fight I won of course and to be honest I was getting a little bored. But beating them all down made my day. It was awesome just to do this, to see Sensei Lee getting more and more annoyed at my abilities. I was disappointed with the fact that Carson was absent, I really and I mean Really wanted the chance to kick is butt again. Even Frank wasn't around...
Finally practice was over and I was allowed to go home.
***** Dark Dragon *****
A few weeks went by and even I couldn't believe how much stronger I felt. Me and the warriors haven't spoken for ages. We would pass each other in the corridors but say nothing. Layla had moved out of my house and was now living with Kim. My mother had even met a new boyfriend and wasn't exactly living with me either, which I loved. I did feel kind of lonely from time to time but at least I still had my karate. I'd also managed to get an 'e' craved into my chest to match the 'r'. That was for not listening to him about a training exercise a few days ago. Thankfully I haven't had any more yet though, as it was almost summer break and I wanted to show off my six pack. Yes girls, I do have one, it's just slightly bruised and got a Re craved into my right torso. Sensei Lee wasn't interested in using punching bags at the moment, as he pointed out... he had me. It was helping though, the more they punched and kicked me, the less I felt it. I just had bruises to prove that some times they did hurt.
I was beginning to get a reputation at school as well. I may or may not of being getting into some fights. My grades have slipped a little. But the one good thing is, I'm now feared by mostly everyone, including the warriors. Which helped with my situation, as they kept away. I didn't fight anyone without reason to and I defiantly didn't bully anyone either. The fights I mainly got into where with... the Black Dragons themselves.
Plus after everything I was beginning to get my spirit back. I was becoming more cocky and carefree, even without my friends to hang with...
The sound of laughter brought me back to our table.
"That nerds face was Epic!" Brian laughed. I rolled my eyes and looked elsewhere, leaning back in my chair with my arms folded. As always at lunch time I was sitting at the edge of the Black Dragon table letting my mind wonder. I never got into their conversations or their bullying, I just hung with them as they where my orders.
The warriors were sat at the opposite side of the cafeteria, talking among themselves. I watched them for a while, laughing and joking. How I wished I was still there...
Suddenly a boy walked over to our table. I noticed he was a newer kid around here and that the Dragons -all but me- had been bullying him. Frank noticed his arrival the same time I did, and turned his attention to him.
"I just wanted to say.." He hesitated but after a deep breath he continued. All the worry and fear left his eyes to be replaced with calm cocky look. Had he been pretending to be weak all this time?
"I love the outfits are you guys cheerleaders?" The boy chuckled. All the Dragons mouths dropped open and some even looked to me. Yup, I'd said that to them on my first day, epic! I laughed quietly to myself.
"You got a problem or something?" Frank growled jumping up so fast that his chair was knocked backwards. It was like I was watching my first day happen again, but this time I was here to enjoy the show.
"Yeah I have" The boy shouted getting into a fighting stance. "I want you to leave me alone!"
Ding! Let the fight begin...
