And by “someone” she meant that smarmy asswipe Knox Lofgren. Ob-Knox-ious had been in rare form today, harping on safety protocols until the newly earned black belt class looked ready to commit hara-kiri just so they wouldn’t have to listen to their Shihan drone on and on. And there was another point of contention. Everyone else in Black Arts dojo called Knox “Shihan” since he was the highest-ranking belt after Master Black. Or he was until she’d arrived. Since Shiori outranked him by one belt level, she called him Godan, one step down in the ranking system—which really got his goat. Then he retaliated by refusing to refer to her by any official title at all, calling her She-Cat or Shitake. Yes, they were shining examples of leadership. Her brother, Ronin Black, had left Knox in charge of his martial-arts dojo while he took a ten-week sabbatical to Japan with his wife. While Shiori agreed Ronin deserved the break, she wasn’t sure she’d survive working eighty days with Knox. “Are there any questions before you’re dismissed?” Knox asked the class. Jesus. Loaded question. And of course the biggest pain-in-the-ass student raised her hand. “Shihan, I’m a little fuzzy on that sit-up guard and sweep. Could you demonstrate?” The silly chit expected Shihan would beckon her up to demonstrate? And he’d press his big body to hers as he relayed directions in his deep bedroom voice? No. He’d want her to observe and that meant . . . “Shiori, I need your assistance.” Right-o, Captain Asshat. And I need a gin and tonic. Jumbo-sized. Pronto. Refusing wasn’t an option, so she rolled to her feet and moved to the center of the mat. “Gather ’round so you can all see this.” As soon as the students had formed a circle, he sat and placed his right foot above her left knee.
