The Wolf Who Slithered With Cobras

Chapter 8

We were back at the dojo and since they were teaching us how to correctly punch. "You can't strike first if you don't know how to strike, "Sensei Lawrence said. "The Cobra strikes is composed of two parts, the lunge which requires to use the whole body. And the bite which is everything that happens after you make contact" he said demonstrating on the dummy. Me and Miguel were taking every word he said seriously while paying attention. "You don't stop here where knuckle hits the bone you punch through the bone like the guy you really want to hit is standing behind this asshole," he said. He exhaled sharply before he yelled is Battle cry and punch the dummy. he returned to us just to make sure we were paying close attention before continuing. "Strike here you bloody his nose, strike here you break his teeth, strike here you can severely damage his trachea," he said pointing out the different body parts. "all right you to get in front of your dummies and lineup focus on what you guys to practice". he said. before he can help us anymore, the phone had started rigging and he went away to go answer it.

Before I got started I side and pinch the bridges off my nose before I said "I'm sorry for snapping at you in the lunchroom". "Don't worry about it it's fine" said awkwardly punching the dummy. "No it's not was uncalled for and I'm sorry I was just irritated, "I said before giving a punch to the dummies face myself. "So are we cool," I asked what they smile. "Yeah man we're cool." we didn't turn to each other to do our handshake. Only to be yelled at by Sensei Lawrence about not practicing right. "No no no no no no no" since I said speed walking over towards us. "You guys are doing it all wrong what do you want those kids at school keep dumping shit on your head," he said talking to Miguel. "What about you Carlos what those kids to keep beating the shit out of you in front of your little brother," he said. "All the girls in the world to think that you two are wangless dork because you can stop your training right now and leave," he said pointing towards the door. "or you too can plant your feet look your enemy in the eyes, and punch him in the face," he said raising his voice.me and Miguel both got into our fighting positions ready to strike. "Picture of your enemy," Sensei said. I was thinking about Kyler and his friends and I could tell Miguel was thinking about the same thing. "You have a picture" Miguel and I are only nodded as a response to answer his question.

"So what are you two going to do," he said. Miguel and I started punching the dummies right in the face as fast and as hard as we could. My thoughts kept going back to that night outside the Mini Mart where they beat me to a pulp. I just got angrier and angrier as I kept punching. "Are you two losers" "No Sensei" me and Miguel both replied. As we were punching we kept gaining speed until since they weren't even talking to us anymore. It was like nothing else mattered in the world except for our enemies' defeat.
Time-skip-------------------------------------------

It was nighttime by the time we got done with chain for today in Sao Miguel and I were finishing up cleaning the dojo so we can actually get some more customers. We were wiping the windows together wow sissy Lawrence was finishing up the paperwork that was needed. "Hey Sensei is there anywhere I should be cleaning these windows," Miguel asked. "No I don't give a shit" he replied. "That was a stupid question, "I said smirky. "Where you least I don't have a stupid face," he said right back. "Oh someone has jokes today," I said laughing. "You know what you to just go clean the toilet and we'll call it a night," he said. "Okay," we both said tiredly. "And do that one on your hands and knees," he said yelling after us.

When we got inside the tiny room the place was full of disgusting stains on the walls, the sink, and the toilet. "I think I have a plan to settle this" Miguel spoke up. "And what plan is that," I asked. "nose goes, "Miguel said putting his finger on his nose. My reaction time was too late and Miguel hot already beat me.  "Oh you're such a dick," I said laughing. Miguel gladly joined me in the laugh until our stomachs were hurting. "well if I'm doing the toilet that means you're doing the sink" I said. "I would do the sink any day that's so much better than doing a toilet," he said. I laughed at his comment before I grabbed my headphones and cut on Nuketown by Ski Mask The Slump God featuring Juice Wrld. when we finished it looks like it was from one of that Mr. Clean commercials. "All right let's get the hell out of here," I said. As we were walking out of the bathroom Miguel yelled.

"Bathrooms clean, is there anything else you want us to do". When we got out we saw a Sensei Lawrence in a standoff against another man that I recognized as Mr. LaRusso. "Sorry, Sensei we didn't mean to interrupt," I said. "Sensei, really," he said. He then turns to both of us with a sorrowful look before saying "Oh my God kids I don't know what he's told you but you shouldn't believe a word this guy says or you're going to end up exactly like him". "And who the hell are you to judge," I said. He then scoffed at my words and then turned back to Johnny. "You and I, this...is not over," he said. He then started walking out of the door but Sensei decided that he wasn't done. "I'm right here man," he said doing it open expression. He scoffed at his word and turned around. It looks like he planned to say something instead he just shook his head no and wave him off.  "I'm sorry if I interrupted anything since they should I do 20 push-ups on my knuckles," Miguel asked. Sensei chuckled before he said "Right as you could" he said. His words made me started to bust out laughing. And for it, I received a punch in the arm from Miguel. The headlights of the man's car came on and between sensei Mr. LoRusso the man's shirt and intense stare down which made Sensei smile.
