Disclaimer: So *looks around* I own only "LAYLA AND DREW!" Really... now all of you are.. pfft. Well yeah what they said etc I don't own Drew's Name ;) "Phil's On Charlie!" Hey I never agreed to that, Jerry come here! "Argh, Bro save me!" *pushes Jack in front." *looks at Jack* Erm... on second thought, Phil's on ME :D "Yah!" Phew ;-; too close...
Previously on Dark Dragon: Jack tried his hardest to wiggle his way out of fighting the warriors. He failed to win against Lee's persuasive ways. So feeling as if he has no choice he agrees to fight them, but in doing so he will take things easy on them. Taking Jerry, Eddie and Milton down had been childes play for the second degree black belt. When it came down to fighting his sister and ex-girlfriend he was meet with a challenge, not wanting to hurt them he had just been blocking all the attacks until, the sound of his father's voice distracting him. The girls won and Jack lost the battle. Sensei Lee was not impressed in the slightest, throwing Jack into the wall he wanted to teach Jack a lesson, then and there. Rudy stepped in saying the only way that Lee was going to fight Jack was to go through him. When all of the other warriors stood up to fight, Sensei Lee decided to call it a day. But he didn't leave before saying that Jack would be his once again.
Finally waking up after the bast from the wall Jack's old memory had triggered something. It wasn't his father or the car that had ended his brother's life... It was him...!
Thanks so much for all your review :') Enjoy...
Chapter Nine ~ Hidden truth
"NO! SAM!" Jack yelled sitting bolt upright. Sweat dripped from his forehead onto his t-shirt, as he quickly scanned the room.
He's loud outburst had startled me. I had been sitting in Rudy's chair watching him for the last few minutes. Hoping, praying that he would wake soon. I didn't expect him to sit up so fast with those injuries and I defiantly wasn't expecting him to shout out such a random name. Had he been having a nightmare or something? No, this was different. I walked over and keeled beside the couch, so we where basically eye level.
"Jack calm down! Your ok your in the dojo." I reassured. But he didn't reply, he didn't calm down. He seemed to become more and more distressed. He was looking at me, but it was more like he was looking through me. He was so lost in his thoughts. "Jack..." I tried again. His mouthed dropped open and his eyes went wide from, shock, surprise, fear... I couldn't quite tell. I reached out and was about to touch his shoulder, when he fell back down. My eyes darted to his face, to see that he was out of it, again!
"What's going on in here?" Rudy demand to know, as he stood in the doorway. As soon as he saw my confused, concerned face he rushed to my side, slamming the door shut behind him. "What happened?"
"I... I don't know. One minute he was asleep, next he was screaming a name out, then he just collapsed again.." Tears started to form in my eyes, as it all appeared I still couldn't help him. I pushed the tears back, as this wasn't the time to show how weak I truly am. The whole time I spoke my eyes never left Jack's face, I was wishing that he would wake up again.
"Name? What Name?" Rudy asked sounding utterly confused, he wasn't the only one.
"Sam. He shouted out 'No Sam'." I said finally peeling my eyes from Jack, to look to Rudy. "I have never heard him mention it before."
"Me either... Probably Just a nightmare!" Rudy sighed shrugging it off, as if it was nothing.
"That's what I thought, until I saw his face." Rudy looked at me confused once more. It felt like I was talking with Jerry... "He looked terrified. Also he was concentrating on something, and it looked as if the more he thought about it, the more he worked things out. Then he suddenly looked all different types of emotions at once, and blacked out again."
"Hmm... It is strange. You think Layla would...-" Rudy asked getting to his feet. Which is strange, because I didn't even realise he was kneeling next to me.
"No!" I blurred out cutting him off. He stopped in his tracks and turned back to me. "leave Layla out of this please."
"Why?" He asked folding his arms.
"Just trust me, she doesn't need to know any more than she already does." I begged him to listen, I can't let Jack down any more than I really have..
"Ok.." Rudy sighed putting his hands up in defeated. "I'm going to continue watching their practice. Call me if he wakes please."
"Ok I will" I smiled turning back to Jack.
-Flashback-
"Do you still love me?" I asked as my eyes swelled with a tears. He walked over to me and kissed my forehead.
"Of course I do..." I didn't let him finish, as I put my lips to his. He deepened the kiss and I pulled myself closer. The sparks flew and I became lost. My body pushed against his chest making him groan. I realised it wasn't a groan from the pleasure but from pain. I pulled away and looked him over.
"Sorry!" I squeaked making him chuckle.
"What do we have here!" A voice called. I knew something wasn't right about this guy, as Jack protectively pulled me behind him.
"Kim..." He hissed.
"Yeah" I whispered back, knowing that what ever he wanted to ask wasn't for the ears of the guy in front.
"Please don't tell Layla anything. Its so very important she doesn't know anything more, especially that the man standing in front of us is our father. Please promise me, that no matter what happens here, that you will tell her nothing!" I could hear his peas in his voice.
"Father.." I whispered in alarm, causing him to nod. Hadn't he died?! "Ok Jack. I promise!"
-End of Flashback-
"I promise" I whispered aloud. I had hoped he would awake at the sound of my voice, but to my disappointed, he didn't. I sighed rather loudly and sat back down into Rudy's chair. This is going to be a long day...
***** Dark Dragon *****
"Kim wake up!" Rudy shouted. He made me jump out of my seat in fright. I fell to the floor and gave my Sensei my best glare, making him shift uncomfortably.
"What Rudy?" I asked getting to my feet.
"Where's Jack..?" He asked. My eyes snapped to where Jack HAD been sleeping.
"I don't know!" I cried as I realised while I had been asleep he must of walked out, or worse he had been taken.
"You where meant to be watching him!" Rudy sighed sitting on the couch.
"Well where were you?" I asked "He had to of walked past you guys while you where training!"
"It's after training hours. I just popped over to phil's to pick up tootsie... -" I gave him a what the hell?! look. "-I'm babysitting... oh stop changing the subject will you!"
"Well he's not here!" I said throwing my arms out in a see gesture.
"We better go and look for him." Rudy suggested.
"You don't think that they took..." My legs turned to jelly just at the thought of it.
"Kim!" Rudy shouted grabbing a hold of me. "We will find him ok. I'm sure he's fine. Come on lets go." I nodded and followed him out of the dojo. But where do we start looking?! The black Dragon dojo? His house...?! I really don't know.
'Jack where ever you are... Please be ok!'
*Jack's POV*
I wondered around the mall, heading anywhere... nowhere... My mind still on Sam, my brother I killed...
"Jack! Jack where are you?" I could hear that Rudy and Kim where getting closer but I really wasn't in any mood to talk. They where literally around the corner now, so I darted inside the nearest open door... Which just so happened to be... the Black Dragon dojo.
"Crap" I muttered as Sensei Lee grinned in delight at my return. I turned on my heels and ran out of the building straight into a someone. I crashed to the floor taking them with me.
"Watch where your going!" I snapped getting slowly to my feet. My side screamed but I ignored it, I have had enough of being hurt, of being beaten...
"Sorry Dude, but you ran into me!" The boy snapped back. He actually surprised me with the tone. I looked him in the eye and couldn't believe who I had hit. As soon as he noticed that it was me he jumped back.
"Jack... I'm Sorry.. I'll erm... watch it next time...!" I held my hand up to stop his blabbering. He seemed to ready himself for a punch. Which made me laugh.
"Seriously dude, you thought..." I laughed harder. Have I really got such a reputation that everyone thinks I'd kill them if they even touched me?
After I calmed my self down enough to talk, I continued.
"Sorry, Just having a bad day." I smirked.
"Oh.." was all he could say.
"I'm sorry I bashed into you. See you around..." I paused to recall his name, but I don't know it.
"Drew, my names Drew Lee." He smiled holding his hand out, which I took. He had a strong grip, a good one.
"Well I'm Jack, Jack Brewer, but you know that." I joked, making him chuckle.
"You're not how they make you out to be." He said breaking the handshake. "I have to go. But it was nice to officially meet you."
"Same here Drew.." I waved him off but then I realised his last name. He, he couldn't be...!
"Ah Jackson!" Sensei Lee said grabbing my shoulder he started to pull me back into the dojo. I pulled out of his grasp and got into a fighting stance.
"I'm going nowhere with you!" I glared. He sighed and pointed to me, making Carson and Frank to come towards me. I smirked as they attempted to surround me. "You'll need more than these losers to ta-" At me calling them losers Frank charged along with Carson.
"Ow!" Frank moaned from the floor. Charging someone you have to be ready for anything. I wasn't exactly going to let him punch me, was I?! So I grabbed his arm and flipped him, leaving him on the floor now complaining. Carson was obviously more of a fight, but after a few moments he too was down. That is when Sensei Lee got the hint, as he sent mostly all the students my way. I had most of the ones who weren't black belts down in seconds, three where black belts they where a little challenge, but again they went down.
I was expecting Sensei Lee to approach me next, but he waved his hand my way again. My father appeared around the corner and stood before me, with a huge grin on his face.
"I've been waiting a long time for this!" He beamed. "My revenge.."
"For Sam. I know." I cut in. He stopped moving towards me and looked confused.
"Wait, what are you on about?!"
"I pushed him, he died because of me."
"Died? What?" He asked looking utterly confused. Had he blanked it all out?
"Sam, he's dead. And its my fault." My father started to laugh along with Sensei Lee.
"Sam's not dead...-"
"WHAT! YES HE IS!" I yelled taking a step forward.
"Nope." He chuckled. I grabbed his t-shirt and pulled him close.
"Where's my brother!" I asked
"How about you re-join the dojo, and we will tell you." Sensei Lee grinned.
"No, I won't." I shouted to Lee. I turned my attention back to my father. "Where is he?!"
"He's here in Seaford. Too bad you won't be able to see him again." I gave him a What's that meant to mean look. Which he answered straight away kicking me hard in my side. I let go of his t-shirt and fell to the floor, holding my chest.
"Where is he!" I said between gasps. A kick broke though my defence. I groaned but kept my eyes locked on my father.
"Come on Jackie give up." He sighed
"No, where is he -" Another kick broke though. I got to my feet and launched at him, no longer caring about anything. I sent attacks his way and most of them hit their target. Why had I been so scared of him? He's no match for me. Finally all my training had paid off, I had taken him down, I had beaten him!
"You and Me!" I demanded pointing to Sensei Lee. His grin widened at my cockiness.
"So be it. Enter the dojo, and we shall have our little bout." I knew his game, I could see a student waiting to jump me as soon as I walk in. So I shook my head.
"Nope. You and me out here." I smirked.
"Have it your way Brewer." He came outside and walked towards me. "I'm no push over like your father, and I will show NO mercy!"
"Works for me." I chuckled getting myself ready for any attack he wished to throw.
"Well come on then." He sighed standing in front of me. "I haven't got all day." Without hesitation I charged him. If they won't tell me where Sam was, I would make them tell me! I threw endless attacks at him, but all of them failed. He was too good. I knew I would have trouble fighting him, but needed to know where my brother was, so I wasn't giving up... even if it killed me.
I lost track of the time and I don't know how long I had been fighting with him. This whole time he has just blocked my moves, he hasn't even landed a finger on me yet. Was he just toying with me?! I knew I couldn't keep this up much longer, I was beginning to become tried.
"JACK!" Kim called in alarm. I turned my head to her, which was the worst mistake ever. I felt it dig into my side as Sensei Lee came towards me.
"If I can't have you, then no one will." He dig it in a little further. "Oh and you have met your brother already, twice. He's new in town, shame your not going to be around to make him welcome any-" He was thrown backwards by a kick. Trouble was whoever did it hadn't realised the blade sticking in me. As Sensei Lee went backwards the blade was ripped from my flesh. It hurt but looks like Sensei Lee didn't have a chance to finish off the job. Rudy appeared in front of me, holding his arms out. Sensei Lee regained his feet and came towards me once more.
"BACK OFF!" Rudy growled. "You want Jack, you have to got through me!"
"With pleasure." Lee smiled. While they where busy in combat, I slid to my knees.
"Jack!" Kim cried out coming to my side. "Are you.." She stopped upon seeing the blood.
"I'm fine." Which was mostly the truth. The cut looked worse than it was.
The sound of someone hitting the ground drew our attention back to the fight. I couldn't believe my eyes at what I saw though...
"Now stay away from my students!" Rudy glared walking back to us, leaving Sensei Lee on the floor, yup he had beaten him. I don't know how but Rudy had proven why he should be our Sensei.
"This isn't over!" Lee huffed. I steadily got to my feet and walked over to him.
"Where's my brother?"
"You should be able to recognize him. You where talking to him not ten minutes ago." Lee sighed rolling his eyes. That's when it dawned on me. Why the eyes and hair colour where alike, the firm grip and the last name. He had been near me all along and I never realised. They may of changed his name but you can't change a person's features. Drew was Sam, my brother?! Man does my head hurt. So many things have happened in last year along, now my brother's back. Will he remember me? Plus I have the black belt tournament to compete in next month. Things just keep piling up on me. At least now I may be about to start putting things right.
"Rudy, can I rejoin the dojo." I asked
"Of course Jack. Thought you'd never ask." Rudy chuckled heading back to his dojo. Sensei Lee and the other black dragons got to their feet and entered their own dojo. Thankfully leaving us alone, for now anyway.
"Its nice to have you back Jack. We missed you." Kim blushed looking to her feet. I walked over and planted a quick kiss on her lips.
"Missed you guys too, especially you. Will you please be my girlfriend again?" I think even I turned red.
"Yah!" She giggled throwing herself into my arms. Well phase one and two compete, now just have to get my friends back, then the Sammy issue. Oh and my side, it's really starting to sting now, so maybe hospital as well.
