It was only then when he noticed you. The young girl standing there in the rain, your dress flapping in the sharp wind. Your hair was drenched, as well as the rest of your body. It was after a tournament that extended on late in the night, and you needed a taxi to get home.

He only thought you were some girl who came to the tournaments at random. Maybe you were a friend, a classmate, a cousin of any of the students on either Miyagi-Do or Cobra Kai... but you were Daniel LaRusso's daughter. No wonder you showed up to almost every single one; after all, your father told you that your presence was imperative. With a roll of your mother Amanda's eyes, you agreed every time.

Every time, then, you saw a man on the other team. He had shiny white hair done up in a tight ponytail; you assumed that gave him frequent headaches. He was well-built, had the sharpest features, and god was he tall. He towered over every other man in the room. You thought he was very handsome, and his voice made your heart melt. But you were much too young to be eyeing him; even your father was younger than him.

And now that man was staring at you as he stood from behind. There was a glint in his eye... maybe he could take the opportunity to aid this pretty woman.

Straightening out his dark-colored gi, he stepped closer to you silently.

"Are you alright, my dear?" he asked, his voice smooth and soft. You instantly turned around, looking up at the tall man you've been looking at for months. He was suddenly right in front of you, gazing directly into your eyes. Instantly, your face heated up and your heart started pounding. It was him. Right there. In front of you.
