Your Smile, My Ghost (cobra kai)

chapter five

The next day after Amelia went to her first dance meeting, Johnny was able to open up his new dojo. One could assume that sneaky hand deals were enough to buy property in Recesda nowadays or at least that's what Amelia was left to assume with how fast Johnny got the dojo.

The dojo in question however had a lot of work to be done before any other students could actually come in and use it. Boxes were left askew on the floor, paint was chipping off the walls and electric wiring were coming out of the ceiling. It was safe to say the place is a mess.

Miguel and Amelia stood on the mat in front of Johnny. Miguel wass standing nervously, shifting his weight from left to right while Amelia stands perfectly calm. "So, am I going to get the karate pyjamas too? Or," Miguel speaks up, voice cracking slightly.

"Quiet!"

"Okay," Miguel mumbles quickly.

"A student only speaks when spoken too, is that understood," Johnny instructs, looking between the two siblings.

"Yes," Miguel says just as quickly.

"Aye-aye Captain," Amelia chuckles, saluting Johnny with the two fingers.

Johnny rolls his eyes at Amelia's antics and looks at Miguel in expectancy of something causing Miguel to pause in confusion, "Yes.. sir?

"You will always address me as "Sensei," is that understood," Johnny sighs.

"Yes Sensei," Miguel replies.

Amelia scoffs, "Yeah okay," and uses finger quotations in the air to mock Johnny, "Yes, 'Sensei.'"

Johnny glares, "Keep it up, twinkle toes and you're gonna wish that you kept your mouth shut. Is that understood?"

"Bring it on Sensei," Amelia smirks.

Amelia actually wanted to learn karate, don't get her wrong but Johnny was being too serious and over the top for Amelia's liking. It's just too funny for the girl to mess with him for her to pass up. A good bonding experience for all of them in her opinion.

Johnny ignores Amelia and explains, "These aren't pyjamas. This is a gi. And you'll get one when you've earned it," taking a pause like the dramatic bitch he is, "Alright, ready to begin your training?

Miguel and Amelia both nod, replying together, "Yeah Sensei."

Johnny nods towards the siblings and then hits Miguel in the stomach, flipping him over onto the mat while sweeping Amelia's legs out from under her, knocking her onto her back.

One second Amelia was upright and now her ass was on the ground. How did that even happen? In hindsight, it was amazing but Amelia was pissed. He didn't give them a chance to defend themselves, the asshole!

"Oh my god," Miguel moans in pain.

Amelia groans out, "Oh shit. What the fuck."

"Lesson one. Strike first. Never wait for the enemy to attack," Johnny smirks at the pair.

Miguel and Amelia both start to get up, groaning in pain during the process. "You could have given us a warning," Miguel says.

Johnny looks between the two in disgust as they handle the pain and shouts, "Quiet! We do not train to be merciful here!"

Miguel pulls out his inhaler and Amelia glances at her brother trying her best to stifle a laugh. His ass was about to get another beating if Johnny is as old-school as Amelia thinks.

Johnny circles the siblings, beginning his rant, "Mercy is for the weak."

Miguel just answers by taking another puff of his inhaler and Johnny continues, "Here in the street, in competition, a man confronts you, he is the enemy," circling the siblings until he gets back in front of them.
