Chapter 14: Miyagi Technique's

Outfits during Miyagi training

As Daniel rode the 2 of us to Mr. Miyagi's we were talking about his and Ali's date yesterday.

From the look on his face I could tell something happened, but he kept denying it probably to not worry me, as he knows that I'm a stress head when it concerns my brother

We walked behind Mr. Miyagi's house and as Daniel opened the wooden gate for us, it looked like paradise and I was awe at how beautiful everything was.

"Wow, this is beautiful" Daniel said reading my mind. "Hey, Mr. Miyagi. This is great, man. You got real fish in there" he said looking at the pond with fishe's.

"This is outrageous." He gaped as we walked across the wooden bridge towards Mr. Miyagi, who was sanding the side of a wooden floor board.

"Man, I thought Chun Lee's Chinese restaurant was nice. You beat his act." He teased, which made me let out a little laugh whilst rolling my eyes shaking my head.

"Look at this. This is paradise. Did you do this yourself?" he questioned sitting down on the
Wooden board with me next to him.

"Mmm-Hmm" Miyagi answered distracting, doing his work.

"Are these bongos? Hey, I got it. I got it. I got it" he said whilst singing the 'Hare Krishna' song, whilst messing with the strange tools.

Miyagi and me started laughing at his ridiculous act. "Ah, Daniel-san, you much humour" he said.

"Definitely" I said in amusement and Mr. Miyagi's lips twitched upwards knowing it was true.

"What are these?" Daniel questioned looking at the strange instruments, as Mr. Miyagi told him what they are, and showing him a new technique moving them on the floor board in circles.

I asked Mr Miyagi if he had another spare so I could give it a go, and he went inside to get me a pair and kept saying to Daniel.

"All the floor. Right circle. Left circle" and was repeating it going inside his house as I watched Daniel doing the same gesture as he was shown.

Me and Daniel managed to get to the end of the floor next to the door, and we both had to tie our long sleeves shirts around our waist as we were both sweating furiously.

"Hmm, very good. Splinter all gone." "Yeah" we both said out of breathe. "Nice" he complimented looking impressed.

"Oh" we both moaned in pain, as he walked outside looking at the floorboard.

"We're finished" I said standing up at the same time as my brother.

"Mr. Miyagi, we're beat, man. My shoulders." Daniel said rubbing his aching shoulder.

"Good. Go home. Get rest. Come morning. Start early. 6:00" he told us both with a toothpick in his mouth.We both looked at him then each other as I shrugged, and Daniel rode us home.

The next day Daniel rode us to Mr. Miyagi's again and as we made it to his door, I noticed him sitting on his knees holding chopsticks in his hand.

Me and my twin both looked at him in stunned silence as he was trying to catch a fly with the chopstick until my brother broke the silence.

"Wouldn't a fly swatter be easier?" he teased.

"Man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything." He told us focusing on catching the fly. "You ever catch one?" my brother asked "Not yet." "Can I try?" Daniel asked.

Mr. Miyagi laughed a little "If wish." He told my brother as I spent the next few minutes watching them catch a fly with chopsticks in the air.

"Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Miyagi, look! Look!" My brother said happily as he caught the fly with the chopstick.
