Chapter Thirteen ~ Surprise!

*Jack's POV*

"Hows the leg?" Jerry asked making me laugh. If my leg really did hurt would I be at practice today? I think not. It's been a few weeks and still me and Layla have failed to find our father and fake brother. I'm not fussed about finding Drew as he's not my family and I just don't care. I can figure out that simply he was made to pretend to be our brother, then with the treat gone, he bolted. Turns out that my father had actually been found by police and was being held in prison, so we no longer needed to worry about him. Me and Layla where going to give evidence and then we would get rid of him for good.

Trainings been slow, mainly because I have strict orders from the doctor to take it easy -I like I ever do that-. Layla's been a little down just lately, I think telling the past may not of been the best of ideas, but she needed to know. Whereas Kim is just so happy to have gang back together that she keeps insisting on nights out, which I'm getting tried of, no sorry 'we' are getting tried of. I know she means well but I can't keep taking all this, I thought that they would never let me back here, and yet they did, but our bond just isn't as strong any more. Sure I'm still dating Kim, Jerry and Layla are together... while Eddie and Milton just seem to be loosing interest in Karate, spending more time out of the dojo and away from us. To be honest I knew this was coming, I just didn't want to start to lose my friends when I've just got them back. With another tournament coming up -which I'm not allowed to enter- we need to stick together, but I know that they soon will leave the dojo for good. The others don't seem to notice, probably hoping they will stay...

School is well, School. I have to watch where I go now though, which is quite annoying. For the first couple of days especially as after the tournament, the black dragons knew I wasn't allowed to do karate. So Kim and Layla have been like my bodyguards, which is really embarrassing, as I had been known as the tough guy for the last couple of months and now I'm known as a sissy, who relies on the protection of girls... To be honest though, if any of them want a fight, they will get one!

"Jack!" Kim yelled in my face.

"Huh?! What?" I asked confused looking from her to Jerry, who where standing in front of me.

"You coming to Phil's?" Kim asked rolling her eyes.

"Erm... Nah, I'm all right guys." I smiled.

"Oh.. ok bro.." Jerry sighed disappointed heading towards the door.

"Jerry I'll..." Kim started.

"No, you go." I cut in. Before she could continue to argue with me I added. "It's fine, go!"

"Fine. See you later." She gave me a peck on the cheek and then followed Jerry. I watched her leave and then once she was finally gone I went into the changing rooms and got dressed.

Feeling slightly better, after changing out of my sweaty Gi I walked onto the mat, but my path to the door was blocked.

"Hey Jackson." Smirked a pleased Carson. My fists clutched at the sound of my full name. A his sides where Frank, a masked kid and another Dragon who's name escapes me.

"What do you want?" I asked folding my arms. They where really starting to annoy me.

"Well I see there's no girlfriend or sister to protect you." He chuckled.

"Whoa! Clever you." I clapped. "But I don't need protecting."

"Watch it Brewer." Carson hissed, seriously what had I said?!

"Watch what? Your ego? Or...?" I smirked. "Seriously just stand aside."

"Fat chance." He chuckled. "We owe you..."

"What? You owe me for what?"

"Well you lost us our Sensei, and other things. You're the reason our dojo is falling apart." This made me laugh our loud, seriously I'm proud that I did that.

"Jack!" Kim's voice called out. Frank grabbed a hold of her before she could reach me.

"Let her go!" I warned taking a step forward. Frank grabbed Kim's hair and pulled it back, making her cry out. My anger was about to boil over. "Just let her go, I'm the one you should fight."

"Your dam right!" Carson yelled running forward he went to punch me. I grabbed his hand, and he even seemed surprised -seriously how many times have I done that? How can they still be surprised?-.

"I'd say the line, but you should know it by now..." I chuckled flipping him onto his back. Once he was down I threw a kick onto his chest, just like he had done to me a while ago. "Get up and leave now, I'm warning you.." Grabbing my foot he twisted it and pushed me backwards. I stumbled back until I regained my footing, he then managed to land a kick to my chest sending me to the floor.

"No, I'm warning you!" He grinned coming over again. Feeling cocky he started to punch and kick, but I blocked them all or moved aside.

"I have to admit I'm a little rusty, but I'm not someone who would stop training, because a doctor asked me to." I winked as I grabbed his foot and flipped him down. The other dragon came at me and started to attack. He was way better than Carson, concentrating on every move and not letting me get through his guard as easy either. He came in for a kick and suddenly the back of my leg hurt, I insistently recognized the fighting style.

"Drew?" I asked. He sighed and took his mask off. He said nothing just came back at me again. At least now I knew his style, I countered any of his moves and soon he became tried. Finally I landed a hit, sending him flying to the mat. I was quite tried myself, but I couldn't rest, as Frank and the other dragon came at me. By this time I have had enough. Frank made a mistake though, he had let Kim free. Together we took down the two of them. They got the hint and all left.

"Looks like Jack is back." Kim smirked.

"Yeah, I guess I can't hide the fact that I have been training now." I sighed taking a seat. "Still out of shape though."

"We can sort that." Kim winked getting into a fighting stance.

"Later babe!" I laughed.

***** Dark Dragon *****

"You seen Eddie or Milton?" I asked Jerry. He seemed worried to answer my question.

"Erm..." He mumbled looking anywhere but at me.

"No we haven't." Layla answered smiling. "Meet you at the dojo Jack."

"But.." I trailed off as they had already left. I haven't even seen Kim this morning. They all seemed to be avoiding me... had I done something wrong? I flung my backpack on and head to the mall. Once I finally arrive at the dojo there no one seems to be no one around. I try the door and surprisingly find it unlocked. I head into the dojo figuring that I could get in some extra practice while I wait, but I as I make it into the middle of the mat, the lights suddenly go out.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JACK! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" Everyone cheered as Layla held the cake, with the bobby Wasabi logo on it, in front of me. Grinning and slightly blushing I blow out the candles, and they all cheered.

"Thanks guys." I smiled. "I forgot it was my birthday."

"We know." Layla giggled.

"So Eddie and Milton..."

"Where gathering the party supplies and the cake!" Kim nodded.

"Well It's nice to finally have everyone back, and this is the best birthday present yet." I smiled hugging Kim and giving her a kiss on her forehead.

"Presents time, yo!" Jerry cheered.

"Wait.. did you make a wish?" Layla asked.

"I don't need to, Its already come true."

The End.
