Kickin It: The Fanfiction

Chapter 4: Kim

As soon as I enter the dojo of the black dragon I get hit with the flashbacks of my younger self training here. I can't believe I almost became one of them. I just stand there thinking until the booming voice of Ty brings me back into reality.

"Hey, Kim! Glad you made it back here!"

"Hey Ty..." I say my voice trailing off.

"Listen Kim this isn't going to be any ordinary karate session. You have to be here 24/7, and you can never communicate with your friends EVER. And I'll make sure of that. He grabs my arm and puts this sort of bracelet on me.

"What is this," I ask.

"That my friend is a shock bracelet. Every time it senses you talking to Jack, Jerry, Milton, or Rudy. You will get shocked."

"What! You know I can just take it off right?" I say.

"That sweetie, is where you are wrong. Only I can take it off. With a special key that is somewhere where you will never know."

And whenever you're in the dojo you will have a tiny bit of pain during your "training"."

"You a monster!" I yell.

"I just want to get back at you for leaving and embarrassing me on live TV! I want to get my revenge on the Wasabi Warriors for every single bit of torture you put me through! And even if you THINK of harming me or one of my students that bracelet will give you ten times more pain!" He thunders. "Now leave! It's lunchtime. Be ready Kim. Be ready.."

As I'm walking to Falafel Phil's, I just can't help but wonder what I got myself into. What Rudy got me into! But now there's nothing I can do. I can't even talk to Jerry, Milton, and. Jack... I feel tears starting to well up, I furiously rub them away. I have to be strong, being weak will just cause more problems.

I head up to the counter at Phil's.

"Hey Phil, can I have the number 4 platter?" I request.

"Sure thing Kimmy!" He says smiling.

"Thanks," I replied. At least I can talk to Phil without getting shocked. I hear the restaurant door open, and I see Jack, Milton, and Jerry walk in. I just want to give them a huge hug. Ty scared me to death back there. It just kills me that I can't even let them know what's happening,

"I just hope that they don't see me, so I don't have to talk to them," I whisper to myself.

I guess I speak too soon, Jack sees me and he walks over to the counter.

"Kim! How was it at the Black Dragon?" He asked me. I don't respond, I just pick up my food, walk to the other side of the restaurant, and take a seat. Ugh, I feel so bad! I wish I could just talk to him. I notice Jack's confused expression as he follows me and starts talking again.

"Kim, are you okay? Can you talk to me, please? We already have a table over there. Come join us." I just stare down at my food.

He puts his hand on my chin and turns my head toward him.

"Can you please tell me what's going on? I'm really confused here." He asks. Maybe if I speak fast the bracelet won't detect it. I take a deep breath.

"Ty put this stupid bracelet on me, so every time I talk to you guys I get shocked," I say, closing my eyes. Before Jack can even respond, pain shoots me in every part of my body, I collapse to the floor in agony, and my eyes are tightly shut. I can hear Jack screaming my name but it's so faint. It's like hot knives are piercing my skin, I clutch my stomach in pain.

"Please stop," I whisper.

Then suddenly, it's over. I'm panting and I'm all sweaty. Ty wasn't kidding when he said he wanted me to suffer. I open my eyes to find the whole restaurant staring. Milton, Jerry, and Jack are all looking at me, their faces covered with worry.

"I'm fine everyone!" I say to the people in the restaurant. How embarrassing. I just sit back down in my chair and start eating my food ignoring my closest friends.

"She can't talk to us!" Milton shouts. I want to tell him that he's right, but I can't. Jack's still looking at me in shock. I just keep looking down.

"Kim, we did lose you," Jerry says. I glance over at Jack quickly.

"Are you sure you can't talk to us?" He asks, his voice thick with emotion. I shake my head still looking at my food.

"Come on guys, let's go back to training. We need to talk to Rudy" Jack tells the boys. "Oh, and Kim, we will find a way to make this right." I smile trying to signal to him that I heard him. He taps my shoulder and he and the boys head out. Oh boy, time to get back to Ty.
