"That's weird how they went through my stuff. Good thing I didn't have any dirty laundry..." he said, nudging Chi, who started giggling. The airport was crowded, and she had already heard people speaking 4 different languages. They swiftly made their way to the exit of the airport, before coming upon a sign. "Hey!" Daniel exclaimed, pointing to the sign. They all turned their heads to see an old man chopping a tree. "That's him?" Chi asked, staring at the name Sato in bold letters. "Yes. Old friends." Mr. Miyagi said, still studying the advertisement. "Can you break a log like that?" Daniel asked, turning to him. "Dunno. Never been attacked by tree." he said simply, walking away. Chi and Daniel smiled, knowing it was his typical form of sarcasm. "How are we going to get a ride?" Chi then asked, Daniel grabbed her hand as they walked through a small crowd of people holding signs, yelling." "Ta..." but he couldn't finish his sentence, as he had spotted a person holding a sign with "Miyagi" written on it. "Miyagi?" the guy asked, looking about Daniel and Chi's age. "Yes," Mr. Miyagi "Ah." he replied after a bit of staring and Daniel and Chi- especially Chi. "I am Chozen Toguchi. Honor to pick you up. Car here. Follow me." Mr. Miyagi- confused but happy for a ride, motioned Daniel and Chi to follow him. He took there bags, placing them in the trunk. He then shook hands with Mr. Miyagi, before settling in the car. He glanced over to Daniel as Chi walked in front of him, smirking a tiny bit. "My lady. Great pleasure to bring you as well." he said, causing Daniel to immediately purse his lips. He watched unsurely as he gently took her hand, kissed it, and helped her in the car. Chi gave Daniel an odd glance before heading into the car. Daniel stepped up to the door, straight in front of Chozen. "Hit jackpot, huh?" he laughed, Daniel immediately giving him an angry look. "Hey! Hey!" he said, as the driver erupted in laughter. "Welcome to Okinawa." he said, holding out his hand. Daniel narrowed his eyes, as he took Chozens hand. He immediately tightened his grip on his hand, almost digging into his hand. Daniel shook her hand free, holding it in pain. He immediately got in the car, still holding his hand. "You ok?" she asked, looking at a small scratch left by Chozen. "Yeah..." he said slowly, looking up to Chozen- who was staring at Chi from the rear-end mirror. He quickly took her hand in a protective manner, causing him to scoff as they started driving.

They sat in silence- well, except for the little radio fight Chozen and the driver had, not sure what that was. Mr. Miyagi finally changed his focus from the window to Chozen, who was biting on a toothpick. "Ah... Chozen... how you know I be here? he asked furrowing his eyebrows. "Miyagi-san... Okinawa very small place." He exploded in laughter, putting Daniel and Chi on edge. Mr. Miyagi nodded, and aloud them to sit in some more silence. "Tell me... why we go north... if village south?" Mr. Miyagi then asked, still looking out the window. "Ah. Some things have changed when you leave." Chozen said, winking at Chi as she noticed he had been staring at her through the rear mirror the whole time. She tightened her grip on Daniel's hand- as Daniel looked to the mirror sternly. Chozen just smirked, then looked away. Daniel turned to Chi, who was looking out the window, obviously uncomfortable. "Some things have not!" the driver exclaimed, odd laughter erupting from the two again.

Chi wasn't sure of where she was going- but it didn't look like a village. They pulled into an abandoned warehouse- the name Sato hanging on top of it. She gulped, and Daniel looked to Mr. Miyagi- who was studying their surroundings. Suddenly, the car came to a halting stop. "Out!" Chozen yelled, as the driver immediately got out of the car- grabbing their stuff and throwing it on the ground. "Hey what's happening?!" Daniel exclaimed, obviously startled. Mr. Miyagi surprisingly got out of the car calmly, and Daniel immediately held Chi's arm protectively. "UNCLE!" Chozen yelled, and the small door in front of them squeaked opened. Daniel stepped in front of Chi, still holding onto her arm. "So, coward! You return!" Any angry voice shook the metal walls, shocking everyone but Mr. Miyagi. "Sato..." he said slowly, as the old man gritted his teeth. "You do not. remember? You are coward." he said, shaking- even angrier. Mr. Miyagi sighed. "Hear about father. You see him first, then me!" The walls shook again, as he brushed past them, Chozen opening the door to the car for him. He glanced over to them, looking specifically at Chi. "Call me!" he said, making a kissing motion. as the driver started laughing. "This guy..." Daniel said angrily, stepping forward. But, it was too late. he had driven off, leaving them with their luggage. "What are you going to do?" Daniel and Chi asked at the same time, as Daniel picked up his and Chi's luggage. "Find taxi." He said simply, starting to walk out of the abandoned warehouse. "Find taxi." he replied again, walking out. "What?!" Daniel exclaimed, as he and Chi followed behind him.
