IT WAS TIME for the next round, of the day as I still couldn't get Kim's words out of my head, but I tried not to focus on them right now as the office started talking

The dojo who do not win tonight will be headed home The previous rounds have determined your current ranking the one-number team will face the number 16 team the number two team will face the number 15 team and so on and go on." She told us as we all looked at the bored to see who we were up against

OK, so that means at number 12 we're facing number five, Dublin Thunder. Devon told us and we nodded." oh great I heard they started a fight with some locals at the beach." I held back a chuckle at that amazed as we all looked at him." They're always looking for a brawl." He also added and at that, and we looked at the team and saw them looking at us, making me, roll my eyes and look away

Now, for the rules of the event fighters will again face off on a platform," the Announcer said we all looked up to see a big platform compared to the other one and we watched as it went down a little bit

But this time, two fighters from each dojo are allowed at one time." She told us and with that, the first two teams go first with two from different teams the buzzer goes off and we all watch

If one of the fighters goes out another teammate can climb up and take their place however the fight never stops so get up there quickly to not leave your teammate alone two-on-one when all the fighters of a dojo have been knocked off, the team is out

Damn." I said in amusement as I watched along with the others as the team Iron Dragon won." Advancing until the next round the iron dragons." The second announcer said and the guy from Iron Dragon yells

Was this dude made in a lab." Eli said as he looked up at the guy on the platform," he's like a mix between the winter soldier and Frankenstein's monster." Dimitri said and I just shook my head and Sam turned her head to them." Don't call him a monster. You don't know him or what he deals with." Sam told them and I looked at her and raised my eyebrow shaking my head and looking away

The next team was Korea's Cobra Kai versus Sweden's polarslaget and we all watched them fight I watched as Tory kicked one of them the same way I kicked from the earliest platform and she immediately looked at me but I just gave her a small smile that it's OK so she wouldn't feel so guilty like I did. and she nods slightly

Wow. Impressive performance by Tori Nichols. Of cobra Kai. They advanced to the next round." The announcer said and one of the cobras next to her grabbed her arm and lifted his other hand, holding the teeth I looked at him slightly amused but didn't show it

Next on the platform Dublin Thunder versus Miyagi-Do." The announcer said and Sam looked around, trying to find her dad Johnny went up to her they talked and it looked like they cleared things up making me sigh in relief as he came to us,

All right, let's bring it in." he told us as he came to us and we all looked at him

I have something to say. It's been a tough day. Probably shouldn't have been such a dick to all of you, but I want you all to know. That I believe with every bone in my body you can do this.

You guys know a lot more about balance than me. So remember everything sensei LaRusso. said and use all your Miyagi-do skills to stay up there." He told us and I smiled.

Yeah, let's go." Miguel said as he clapped and I chuckled

All right, I'm thinking we should start strong with our captains, Sam and Robby." Johnny said and we all nodded as I looked at Robby to see him tighten his headband looking specifically at Miguel."Damn." I muttered.

Devon, you will go next Hawk Dimitri, And Miguel and Kayla will be our anchor." He said and we nodded slightly I turned my head to Miguel and I saw his expression making me sigh slightly." It's ok Miguel let's just prove that we're good when it's our chance." I muttered to Miguel and he nodded." Let's do this." Johnny said and we all nodded as we all bowed slightly Robby and Sam went up to the platform with two from the other teams

It all started as we all watched nervously that's when I saw Robby lose focus looking at something, and I turned to see that he was looking at Tory I bit my lip and looked back at him and he was knocked off the platform and I groan with a sigh as Miguel and I looked at each other as Devon goes to the platform as we watch

We watched as she started fighting throwing punches and kicks whenever she could I bit my nail nervously and Devon kicked her off the platform I smiled and stopped biting my nail as another person from the team came up the platform and started fighting her and Sam almost gets kicked off the platform as Devon got distracted from the one Sam was fighting

LaRusso Miyagi-Do." Johnny yelled at her and she nodded as she started using Miyagi-Do we all continued to watch and Sam kicked him off the platform as we watched as a girl came onto the platform

Hijo de puta." I said as we all saw Sam get kicked off the platform and Miguel looked at me." if mom was here, she would've knocked in the head out." Miguel told me, but I just stuck my middle finger up to him and he chuckled in amazement and we watched Eli go to the platform and start fighting

We watched as Eli helped Devon and the girl stood up Devon saw so she quickly grabbed her, and they both fell off the platform." go, Demitri, you're up.." Johnny told him." That was a nice sacrifice badass, Lee ." Johnny said and I chuckled slightly

You think it was a smart idea sending Demetri and Eli both on the platform, knowing how much they're arguing and on bad terms." I asked Johnny and it's like he realized." Shit." He said with a sigh I nodded and so did Miguel and we looked back at the platform and continued to watch

We watched as Eli bumped into Demetri and Demetri looked at Eli But they both quickly focused back on the fight we watched as Demetri turned around and kicked the one that Eli was fighting making Eli fall off the platform with him I sighed and watched as Demetri walked to the edge of the platform." no no no no no demetri.." I said as he gets kicked off the platform and I groan muttering a fuck

I sigh before, realizing it's Miguel and my turn and we both look at each other before looking at Robby." Robby." I said to him making him turn to Miguel and me." Watch how it's done." Miguel told him, and we both walked up to the platform. And all four of us get in our fighting position.

One came at Miguel, and the other came at me he threw a kick at me, but I blocked it as Miguel and I went back on back with each other one went to Miguel, but I quickly grabbed him and kicked him in the leg and go to kick him again, but he blocked it and pulled on my feet making me fall on the platform and I groan slightly before wrapping my legs around his head

Pulling him towards me and elbowing him in the face I quickly stood back up as he wiped the blood off his nose and glared at me and immediately came charging at me, but I quickly ducked on the floor and swiped, my feet under his making him fall face front with a grant as Miguel kept on fighting the other one as the others watched, and I got up, grabbing the back of his head and hitting him with my knee right in the face making him groan in pain

But he ignored the pain and kicked my leg, making me fall on the platform Kim's words came back to me and my eyes went to Kim she gave me a look, and I slammed my fist against the platform realizing that her words got to me and I look back up at the guy and he went to throw a kick to my face, but I quickly grabbed his leg, twisting it making his whole body turn slightly,

I pulled him down and I quickly stood up and kicked him right in the face he held his nose and spit some of the blood on the platform and I kicked him in the chest, making him fall off the platform I turned and saw Miguel kick the other one off the platform that he was fighting and we both looked at each other with the big smiles on our faces as everyone clapped and we both got up and high-fives each other

Incredible performance from Miyagi-Do's Miguel and Kayla Diaz their triumph send Miyagi-Do to the next round." The announcer said and my eyes went to Cobra Kai, but more specifically to Kwon to see him with a smile making me chuckle a small smile on my face I looked back at Miguel, and he picked me up, spinning me around and we both laughed

We did it, moron." He told me and I laughed and nodded as we both looked back at all the other dojo we bowed slightly and the team ran onto the platform in happiness Eli picked me up, making me laugh before putting me down and doing the same to Miguel and also putting him down and Sam hugged me and I smiled and hugged her back.

I'm sorry for punching you." I told her and she just smiled." It's OK. I deserved it I didn't mean what I said about you being a cobra Kai I was just upset and I didn't mean to take it out on you. You're Miyagi-Do you're always gonna and you're always gonna be like family to me." She told me and I laughed and nodded Devon hugged me and I chuckled and hugged her back

Demetri hugged both Miguel and me and we hugged him back before pulling back from the hug as we were all happy they were able to pass to the next round we got to the edge of the platform and bowed and Johnny smiled and did the see Miguel and I looked at Robbie before walking off the rest following behind and I'm pulled into a hug and I pulled back and see it's Tory and I smiled at her

I'm happy for you ." She told me with a smile." Thank you Tory congratulations by the way." I told her and she smiled." Also, I wanted to ask you if something is going on between you and Kwon." She asked and I felt my cheeks heat up, and she looked at me amazed." I honestly don't know yet." I told her

That blush on your cheek says otherwise.." she told me and I groaned with a chuckle." Don't worry if something was going on between me and Kwon you'd be the first person to know, but you can't tell anyone you know how much trouble it would cost if people were to find out we were in a relationship." I told her and she smiled

I won't, but just know if he does something to you. I'll make sure to give him hell and another reason not to like me." She told me and I laughed with a smile and nodded and hugged her again and she immediately hugged back." Anyway, I have to go. I'll see you around." I told her softly and she nodded and we pulled back from the hug and I smiled at her before walking away in happiness.

JOHNNY HAD TOLD Miguel and me what happened to Mom Johnny and Miguel had decided to go and they told me to stay here which I of course argued about. I even threw a damn pillow at them. They're lucky I didn't throw anything else at them. They promised that they would call or text me once they knew what happened. And now I'm here in my room stuck with how worried I am

You OK." Sam asked when she entered our room and I looked at her." Right stupid question why would you be OK." She said and I chuckled slightly and she lay down next to me where we're facing each other

She going to be OK. Your mother is a strong woman. and so is the baby." She told me and I nodded slightly and bit my lip." I just hate how I had to stay here instead of going just so I can know if she's OK." I said with a small sigh

I know, but don't worry plus we have plans we go to the bar and have as much fun as we can maybe it get your mind off things a little." She told me and I nodded with a smile." Thank you." I told her and she smiled." You can always count on me Kayla no matter what." She told and I nodded with a smile

I left the room to go get something from the vending machine for Sam and I-I got to the vending machine debating whether to get something to drink or something to eat for the both of us when I heard footsteps making me turn my head to the side and I see Kwon and I sigh

Yes, Kwon what exactly do you want." I asked fully turning to look at him and he smirked." Well you still haven't given me my answer for the date." He told me and I chucked slightly." OK fine when we all go to the bar where all the dojos are celebrating and clearing their minds then we can leave and go on a walk to the beach." I told him as I felt like I couldn't even say no as a part of me wanted to go on this date too

Ok deal so after the bar, we go take that walk on the beach and talk like they are doing in those romantic movies." He told me and I looked at him amazed." You watch romantic movies." I asked teasing. And I watch as his face turns a bright pink making me chuckle

No, no I'm just guessing." He quickly told me." Yeah sure, Kwon." I told him with a smile." You know you should smile. More often. it matches you and makes you even more beautiful." He told me and I felt my cheeks heat up at his words he chuckled at that before putting a piece of my hair behind my ear

See you later." He told me his cocky smirk returning I chuckled at that and nod and he walked away

I stayed still standing by the vending machine and I looked back to make sure he wasn't there, and I immediately started jumping from happiness." YES!." I a deep breath, calming myself down as I knew that I needed to tell Tory I promised I would because she loves hearing about my relationships sometimes and this is the first one that has made me feel like this.
