Rayna and her Sunshine

Sekai Taikai

The world tournament was quickly upon Cobra Kai. Taking their best students overseas for the week long event was a dream come true for Terry and for Sensei Da Eun.

"I am so nervous for our kids... I wanna puke," Rayna exclaimed, nervously clutching her stomach as the group approached the arena-style area for day three. Terry looked down at her, he smiled and chuckled lightly, taking her hand in his, placing his lips against her skin, "Don't puke, love. They'll be fine, we taught them well, we prepared them as best we could. You have been an excellent Sensei, they're ready."

Sensei Da Eun glanced to the pair, a ghost of a smile across her lips, "When shall the wedding take place?"

Rayna and Terry looked to her, both grinning ear-to-ear, Rayna spoke up, "We're planning on after all this," she waved her hand around, motioning to the arena, "Haven't picked an exact date yet, I wanted to get married in December, but it came so soon and I got so sick with the flu it just didn't work out."

Terry wrapped his hand around Rayna's waist, "How about September 30th? Let's plan for that day. Small get together, little honeymoon, I'd like to take you out of the country for at least a month."

Sensei Da Eun chuckled in her throat, "Looks like you have a date after all, Rayna."

She smiled, Sensei Da Eun had softened towards her, they did get along, but Sensei Da Eun kept her hardened façade up during class, she was just expressionless, which lead many to believe she wasn't kind. Sensei Da Eun would do most anything for Rayna; since John's passing, they had grown close.

Rayna giggled all the way into the large arena for the third day of the tournament. She was a bundle of nerves compared to her otherwise excited students. They were doing well, Rayna cheered Tori and Kyler on, taking them under her wing, she scolded Kyler for his sloppy use of his weapons display, earning tenth place overall.

"Kyler! Come here!" Rayna said harshly to the boy as he approached, "Kyler, what are you doing? You're better than this. If it's about the fight against that kid yesterday, forget it, you did the best you possibly could, breathe, steady yourself," she gave him a small smile as he looked down at her, "Go get some water and get your ass back out here to cheer on your fellow cobras."

"Yes, Sensei, thank you," he bowed quickly, taking off towards the locker room area.

Rayna watched nervously as the rounds continued. The third day ended with Cobra Kai in fifth place overall. First through third place winning dojos had the biggest overall winnings, Rayna would mutter and pray quietly to herself for her students to even get to third place, seeing their faces on the commercials would make her heart happy.

She made Terry promise her not to place an 'insurance policy' at this tournament like he had with the All Valley. The days slowly continued, the rounds and fights got tighter and tougher, Kenny felt himself weak when he lost in his second round of matches.

"Payne, come here," Terry motioned to the boy, "Remember what I taught you, your opponent can't stand, they can't fight, your opponent can't breathe, they can't fight. Quicksilver, use it. Focus on your strengths and expose their weaknesses."

"Yes, sensei," the boy said, bowing and returning to the side lines, waiting for his name to be called once more.

Rayna worried her bottom lip in her teeth, Terry took notice, peeling his eyes away from Sensei Da Eun disciplining a couple students for fumbling over their feet.

"Rayna," he said quietly, gently grasping her hand, "They'll do just fine. Trust in them as they trust in you. Look at Mr. Park, you scolded him, gave him good advice, he went back out there and rocked it, going from tenth to second. Our kids will be just fine."
