The Karate Kid | Daniel LaRusso x Reader

🥋⇒ Book 1/3 of The Karate Kid Series

In September of 1984, Daniel LaRusso isn't too enthusiastic when he and his mother, Lucille, move from Newark, New Jersey to Reseda, California. Almost immediately, he meets and befriends you, a girl named Y/N L/N, who just so happens to live next door to him in apartment 19.

Within the first few days of being in the Golden State of California, conflict stirs up and Daniel quickly finds himself the target of a group of bullies who practice karate at the Cobra Kai dojo. Lucky for Daniel, he isn't alone. You take a certain liking to the LaRusso boy. Two things make it worse for the both of you, though. One being your previous relationship with Johnny Lawrence, the star student of Cobra Kai. And the other being Ali Mills, who comes in between you and Daniel and causes more confusion and frustration than you both can handle.

Fortunately, you introduce Daniel to Mr. Miyagi, an old Japanese maintenance man who happens to be a martial arts master himself. Miyagi takes Daniel under his wing, training him in a more compassionate form of karate and preparing him to compete against the brutal Cobra Kai in the tournament. Throughout Daniel's training, the relationship between you and him grows stronger, but will it be able to withstand the overwhelming stress from all of the drama surrounding the two of you? And most importantly, can Mr. Miyagi teach Daniel enough to win the Under 18 All Valley Karate Championship?
