Hot For Sensei

Chapter Fifty-Nine

Chaos erupted in the LaRusso house as fists clashed and bodies took massive hits. Ivy went straight for Hawk, but he maneuvered himself out of the way, and she was caught in a battle with a different cobra. He wasn't that strong, but he was fast, and Ivy had a hard time keeping up with him. They exchanged blows to the face, gut and legs, and it was then that she realized that she wasn't indestructible after all. Still, she refused to give up, and after many more hits, she managed to slam the cobra into the fridge, knocking him out. His body slumped to the floor, and she kicked into his gut like she was a pro soccer player. With a huff, she reentered the fray. One down, too many to go.

She could see Miguel facing Kyler, and it infuriated her. If Miguel hadn't gotten hurt, he would be dominating Kyler right now. But in his weakened state, he couldn't fight like he used to, and Kyler was effortlessly beating the shit out of him. He grabbed Miguel by the waist and threw him into the couches. He landed hard, and Ivy lunged without thinking, desperate to help her friend. Unfortunately, Kyler saw her coming, and he blocked her punch. Grabbing her arm, he lifted her up and over his back, throwing her behind him and sending her crashing into the wall. She let out a yelp as her head bounced off the wall, and she slid down into a heap.

In the short moment she took to breathe, she locked eyes with Hawk across the house as Kyler ran off to fight someone else. Hawk's eyes were bulging with panic, and it almost looked like he was upset that Ivy had gotten hurt. But she had no time to think on it, her friends still needed her. With a grunt, she forced herself up off the floor, shaking off the hit.

Nearby, Chris and Mitch were fighting two cobras, and Ivy jumped in as Chris was knocked to the ground. She and Mitch fought back-to-back as a team, turning and striking in unison to keep the cobras at bay. Ivy went to grab the cobra in front of her, but Mitch shifted unexpectedly, tripping her. She stumbled forward, her head falling towards the cobra's fist, but before impact could be made, Chris jumped in and headbutted the cobra. He went flying across the room, and Chris let out a triumphant bark.

"Nice one!" Ivy grinned through a huff.

"You're welcome." Chris grinned back and they shared a quick high-five.

Ivy turned to see Nathan get slammed flat into a wall, and she rushed over with Chris and Mitch to aide him. Dimitri was there too, and he knocked down two cobras before getting knocked down himself. Mitch ran to help him up as Chris and Ivy fought to keep the cobras away. Ivy took more punches to the face, and it was starting to hurt. Still, she kept up her offense, and Chris rushed forward to kick the cobra she was fighting in the back.

"This is so fucked up!" she shouted as the cobra dropped.

"We got this, Ivy. Keep going!" Chris encouraged her.

Ivy took a second to glance around to see where she needed to strike next. Sam was fighting a cobra near the steps, and he punched her in the gut pretty hard. Ivy moved to help, but Sam recovered quickly and took the cobra out before Ivy could even get to her. She smirked at Sam, impressed.

Glass shattered behind her, and she shifted to see that Hawk had smashed a vase over the head of a Miyagi-Do. She moved quickly, throwing herself at Hawk to stop him. He blocked her and grabbed her arm, moving to sweep her legs out from under her. He followed her to the ground as she fell to make sure she landed gently, and then he looked into her eyes.

"No." he murmured, kissed her hand, and then ran off to fight someone else.

"Get back here, you asshole!" she shouted after him, rolling onto her stomach to push herself up off the floor.
