Dragonfire
Chapter 1: Kaji
Ron watched silently as Kim gave the training mat a terrible beating, she had been punching and kicking the poor object for over fifteen minutes now and wasn't showing any signs of giving up soon. And even though Kim was obviously furious, Ron noticed her strikes were still as graceful as always, not hindered in the least by the red fog in her mind.
Finally, after another ten more minutes, Kim movements slowed down and Ron started to recognize standard attack forms as his girlfriend for just over a year fell into a dance-like Kata similar to the ones she used for her morning training.
Eventually, the Kata slowed down into a cooling down and finally Kim stood still, breathing heavily from the severe exercise.
"Feel any better?" Ron asked.
"A little," the redhead took a couple of deep breaths to regain her composure and then walked over to her boyfriend who handed her a towel.
"You shouldn't let Bonnie get into your head like that," Ron said as he looked past Kim at the training mat, the thing was close to falling apart and Ron happened to know it was part of the recently newly installed gym equipment.
"You weren't there when she… and everything you did for her… you even… and she just…" Kim was about the twist the towel to shreds in her hands and Ron quickly put a comforting arm around her shoulder.
"Just let it go," Ron gently started to massage Kim's tensed shoulders, "I don't care what she said and you shouldn't either, she's not worth it."
Kim took another deep breath and slowly exhaled, "I guess you're right, but it's just that she…"
"Shhhh," Ron put a finger on Kim's lips, "just let it go."
"Fine, I'll try," Kim smiled weakly, "I'm going to get freshened up, could you close up the gym?"
As Kim relaxed under the soothing stream of hot water she thought back about that morning and couldn't help but feel some of her anger re-emerging.
Shortly after graduation, only two week ago now, Bonnie had complained how unfair and impossible it was to get her last credit by doing writing a homework assignment while everybody else was partying.
Mr. Barkin had partially agreed – on the impossible part, not the unfair part - and had offered the brunette the option of organizing an extra event for the freshmen summer celebration, the last party Middleton High offered before it closed for the summer vacation and mainly for the younger students as the junior students and the graduates already had their vacation.
Feeling a little sorry for Bonnie, Kim had offered to help by suggesting a cheerleading event since quite a lot of the cheerleaders were still in town. Ron was also willing to help and agreed to don the Middleton Mad Dog suit once more.
After just over a week of fierce practicing in which most Bonnie did was complaining and belittling Ron, the team felt ready for the celebration. About fifteen minutes before the party, which had taken place this morning, Bonnie had called and told them that Junior had called and they were going on a cruise.
"…So I can't make it to the event," Bonnie had said coolly, as if nothing was wrong, "I already sent my earlier assignment to Mr. Barkin, Junior hired some people 'help' me with it."
Since Kim was at a loss for words Bonnie continued, "Actually, I'm doing everybody a favor, no one wants to see the loser Mad Dog reappear; even the pep puppies are doing better, if only slightly."
Ron had arrived a little late so the only thing he encountered was a group of utterly stunned cheerleaders and Kim on the verge of exploding.
None of the girls wanted to tell Ron more than that Bonnie wouldn't be there but they would do the act anyway, and they all gave him a very apologetic look.
It was after the party - in which the cheerleading act had been a great success and the reappearance of the Mad Dog was cheered by a chorus of Booyahs – that Tara had told Ron what was going on. After the other cheerleaders had left Kim had lost control and she had started to unleash her anger on the training mat for lack of a certain target who was now, luckily for said target, on a far away cruise.
Kim dried of, put on her normal clothes and stepped out of the locker room. Ron was already waiting for her outside of the gym.
"Well, I guess this is the last time we closed up here," Kim said as she locked the gym doors, they brought the keys to Mr. Barkin's office and took off to Ron's home.
Even though the Possible residence was repaired enough that the family could live there again, Kim preferred to hang out at Ron's for the time being; especially with the builders still working on parts of the house.
There wasn't much to do and Kim was pretty worn out by her anger venting, so the two teens mainly relaxed on the couch and played a couple of games with Hanna, when Ron's little sister had to go to bed Kim and Ron settled with playing a couple of video games. Ever since Kim had started to figure out the controls Zombie Mayhem had become more interesting to her, but she still only bothered to play it when it also meant being together with Ron.
Still, the teens were having fun and before they knew it, it was close to midnight.
"Oops, better call mom and dad I'm on my way home," Kim said, "dad might get suspicious if I stay here too long," she added chuckling.
"Shall I walk you home?" Ron offered.
"Nah, it's only a short walk, what can go wrong?"
"You're right, I guess," Ron said, a little disappointed.
"Hey, don't take it bad," Kim grinned, "we can say goodbye at your door as well as we can do at mine."
Eventually saying goodbye took another good ten minutes. As Kim walked home the Bonnie sitch felt distant and unimportant, and Kim felt ready to really start her vacation together with Ron.
Kim was almost home when she spotted a man standing on the sidewalk looking around, "Are you looking for something?"
The man looked at the redhead, "Are you Kim Possible?"
All Kim's senses immediately went on red alert and she quickly looked around whether the man had backup, "What if I am?"
The man merely smiled, "Then yes, I'm looking for you." And suddenly he stood face to face with Kim and threw a punch.
Kim was already prepared for an attack, although she hadn't counted on someone crossing a fifteen-foot distance in a split second, and managed to block the punch and throw one of her own.
The man dodged the punch with amazing speed for his fairly large frame and countered. This time Kim was really ready and she easily dodged.
"Stop this or I'll call the police," Kim said as she rolled away and grabbed the Kimmunicator.
The man attacked again before Kim could push the emergency button and kicked the devise out of her hand.
"The police was the better option for you," Kim told, "but if you insist…"
This time Kim took the initiative herself and she attacked the man, clearly he was a skilled martial artist, but he couldn't match Kim's speed and was soon pushed in the defensive.
"Impressive," the man admitted, "so it IS true."
"What is?" Kim inquired, but the man only grinned.
Annoyed, Kim struck at him again, but this time she felt a strange tingling sensation and instead of hitting the stranger she fell to the ground, face first in a pile of sand.
RING RING
"Hello?"
"Ron, is Kim still with you? She called about fifteen minutes ago that she would be coming home and she hadn't arrived yet. Did a mission come up?"
"Uhm, no," Ron chuckled uncomfortably, although he was happy he was talking to Kim's mother and not her father, "we took a little time so say goodnight, so… anyway, KP just left so she should arrive any moment now."
"Alright then," Mrs. Dr. Possible laughed, "I'll wait a little longer then."
"'Kay, thanks for call…" Suddenly Ron had the feeling something was brutally yanked away from him.
"Ron? RON?"
"Something is wrong with KP," Ron whispered as he let go of the phone and stormed outside.
"Ron? Are you there? What happened? RON!"
Kim got on her feet and looked around in total confusion; for some reason she was on a beach and it was day again. Then she spotted the mysterious man standing a couple of feet away from her. In the light she could make a better assessment of how he looked; tall, almost six and a half foot and a very strong build, he a strange mixture of black and red hair in a very wild cut and his age wasn't really determinable, although Kim estimated him beyond his forties by the lines in his face.
"Who are you and what do you want," Kim demanded, "and what did you just do."
The man smiled coldly, "you can call me Kaji, the rest doesn't matter."
"Kaji, that's Japanese for fire, right?" Kim frowned.
"So you are learned?" Kaji said, "Good that will save a lot of time. Kaji is the word that best represents my real name. Now you will rest so I can test your fighting skills tomorrow."
"What if I refuse?" Kim took a fighting stance and kept a close eye at Kaji.
The man laughed, "Then you will be tired tomorrow and I can beat you easily, it's your choice."
Ron ran through the streets, not really paying attention to his surroundings; instinctively he knew where to go. But when he arrived, the street was empty.
Ron was about to question his instincts when he spotted the Kimmunicator, he immediately picked it up and called Wade, "Wade, what happened with KP?"
Wade's face appeared on the computer screen as the boy genius drowsily answered, "Do you guys know what time it is?"
"Just after midnight," Ron said, "something happened to KP, can you pull up a satellite image or something?"
Noticing Ron concerned look, Wade quickly went to work and soon he had found the data Ron was looking for.
"Ok, here Kim is approaching a man on the street… and now they start fighting… and then they're gone… that's strange."
"Someone kidnapped Kim," Ron's breathing got heavier and his eyes started to glow blue, "She's alive and well, I can feel that…"
Wade watched in awe as Ron slumped down for a moment and then started to glow with an intense blue aura.
"WHOEVER TOOK MY KP WILL PAY! THERE IS NO PLACE YOU CAN HIDE IF YOU EVEN THINK OF HURTING HER!" the blue aura seemed to explode during Ron's shout and spread out as a blue flash.
Moments later, Kim's parents arrived as they were on their way over to Ron's house after Ron had dropped the phone.
Even though the sound of Ron's shout only travelled a few blocks, the power and intention that drove it, powered by the Monkey Powers, roared on over the planet.
Hanna stirred uncomfortably in her sleep, woke up and cried for a moment before she fell asleep again.
Shego was about to grab a midnight snack when cold shivers ran up her spine and she lost all appetite.
Drakken woke up covered in cold sweat from a terrible nightmare taking place on the roof of a Bueno Nacho headquarters.
DNAmy watched frightened as the stone statue of Monkey Fist started to show cracks all over the surface.
In Japan, an old ninja master was brutally knocked from his meditation and many ninja students stopped their training for a moment as a blue flash washed over the Yamanouchi mountain area.
All over the world crystal balls cracked, séances were interrupted and meditations were cut short.
Very few people understood what was going on and only one person felt comforted by it.
"That's my boyfriend," Kim smirked as she saw Kaji's expression change the moment she felt Ron's shout, "You're in deep trouble now."
Instead of getting afraid, the man's smile returned, "So the Monkey Lord is your mate… what a coincidence… just like the last time."
Then he gave the redhead a very dark look, "Then you will pay for your insolence now," before Kim could react, Kaji attacked.
Kim managed to roll with the strike, but it still hurt. This time Kaji used a whole different technique; one with which Kim was not familiar with, but that somehow felt natural. The man also attacked furiously, not much different than when Kim had struck the mat earlier that day. Unfortunately, Kaji also kept his cool in his attacks, giving Kim an even harder time defending herself.
Even though Kim was hard pressed to keep from losing, her natural ability to adopt skills by observation allowed her to keep up with her opponent without giving too much ground.
Eventually both fighters stood still, a few feet apart, panting heavily.
Kaji seemed to recompose himself and calmly looked at Kim, "So you do have skill. If you want to rest you can use the shack over there, feel free to explore the island," he added with a sarcastic grin before disappearing in thin air.
Kim looked around and saw the shack; it was not much more than a couple of bamboo walls supported by poles and a leaf roof. The island wasn't much to speak of either; Kim could see the whole shore from where she was standing and it couldn't be much more than three hundred feet across.
"Great," Kim sighed as she walked to the shack, "what a nice way to start the vacation… with my own private island."
"Ron, are you alright? What happened? Where is Kim?"
"KP is gone," Ron mumbled in shock as he sat down on the sidewalk, his recent outburst of power a distant memory.
Wade filled the Possible parents in on the sitch and they brought Ron home.
"Wade, can you do anything to find out where Kim is now?" James Possible asked.
"I'll try," Wade looked doubtful, "but I can't promise anything, we got rid of the tracking chips a long time ago and whoever kidnapped Kim didn't use any conventional way of transportation."
"Thank you Wade, I know you will do the best you can."
Ron sat straight up in bed, it was already past three in the night and his and Kim's parents had decided that staying awake didn't help anyone so they ordered Ron to get to bed after they had called the police and Global Justice and set the wheels in motion.
That had been over two hours ago, but Ron was still wide-awake.
"Stoppable-san." Ron looked around, "Sensei?"
The image of Sensei appeared in Ron's bedroom, "Stoppable-san, what happened? I felt your outburst and I haven't been able to contact you in your current emotional state until now."
"Someone took KP," Ron told in a desperate voice, "Can you help me?"
"I will certainly try," Sensei promised, "but finding a person and locating them can be a different thing."
"I know," Ron said sadly, "I can feel her, but I don't know where she is."
"You should rest," Sensei told, "only when you are well rested and when your mind is relaxed, you can trust your feelings."
"I guess you're right," Ron sighed, "I'll try to get some rest, can you contact me later?"
"Most certainly, be comforted by the knowledge that Possible-san is still alive and well."
The next morning Kim woke up and found out she had a black eye added to the lots of bruises she already had all over her body.
"Great," she muttered as she carefully touched the painful spot, "more fun, I hope Kaji feel at least as bad as I do."
Kim walked to she small well on the middle of the island that provided fresh water and freshened up, it was then that she noticed Kaji standing on the beach, staring absentmindedly at the waves.
"I want answers," Kim demanded as she walked over to him, "Why did you kidnap me? And how do you do that teleportation thing?"
"Which one would you like to know more?" the man simply asked.
"Uhm?" Kim was taken aback a bit by Kaji's apparent willingness to talk, "Well, let's start with the why."
"I will explain it to you later today," Kaji said, "for now, are you familiar with 'Long Ying Kuen'?"
"I heard the name," Kim frowned, "it's a dragon style kung fu, right?"
"Yes, it's the descendant of an even older fighting style; the one you are going to learn."
"Okaaay, why?"
Kaji chuckled, "because you have the rare ability to absorb not only knowledge but skill as well by mere observation. You can't not learn the style."
"And how do you suppose I learn the style from you?" Kim inquired.
Kaji grinned, "Simple." And he attacked.
"The power of the Dragon style comes from the waist," Kaji explained as he kept on attacking Kim, who was barely able to keep on her feet, "From there the energy is transferred to the arms and legs."
Finally Kim managed to get a proper defense and she was even able to counter some of Kaji's moves with a style that started to resemble the Dragon style he was using.
Kaji quickly noticed that Kim was absorbing the moves at a stunning speed, although she didn't have developed the fluid-like motions required by the style, Kaji had to admit that it wouldn't take long before she mastered it.
"Stop, that's enough for now," Kaji motioned Kim to halt, "we will continue in the afternoon."
"Did you perhaps bring something to eat?" Kim asked.
Kaji motioned to a large basket that sat on the beach, "Take what you like. During your break you should read this," he walked to the basket and took a fairly large book from it that he tossed to Kim, "What are your sizes?"
"What?" Kim watched the man with disgusted disbelief.
Kaji could barely contain his laughter at the redhead's look, "Unless you are intending on fighting, sleeping and living in the clothes you are currently wearing I suggest you let me get you some spare sets."
"Fine," Kim growled and she gave Kaji the information, "but I suggest you don't get any funny ideas.
Kaji gave Kim an amused half smile, "If that's what you are worried about you can stop worrying, I have no interest in you that way whatsoever."
Even though Kim knew she could believe him at that, it took her quite a while to recover her appetite after Kaji left.
"Found anything Wade?" Ron asked.
"No, sorry Ron," Wade said, "I still don't even have a clue of where to look."
"Can I do anything to help?"
"I don't know what you could do," Wade explained, "I have an automated system set up to look for reappearances all over the world at the same time Kim disappeared."
"Look, I'd move the planet out of orbit if that's what's needed to get KP back," Wade saw Ron's expression and considered that he would likely succeed too if he wanted to.
"Well, remember you told me that you could feel it the moment Kim was taken away? Maybe if you focus you can get a general direction of where she is."
"Sensei also mentioned something like that," Ron said, feeling a lot better now he could do something to find Kim, "I will try my best."
Kim looked through the book Kaji had given her; at a first glance she had discarded it as a boring, and tremendously large, family tree. But as she looked further Kim noticed it wasn't one family; there were four family lines described in the book, and apparently whoever made the book was only interested in certain parts of the families; mainly firstborns.
Her attention was really caught when she spotted the first mention of a Possible, and shortly after she noticed Credibles, her mother's side, as well.
Kim marked the pages that first mentioned her father and mother's family names and took another look at the foreword.
These are the four Dragon lines as noted by fahhiakjita (Kim wasn't really sure if she read the name right), once all four lines merge the Dragon will be reborn.
The rest of the text was in a language that Kim did not understand and she had the strong feeling that Kaji had added the English part later.
Kim opened the book again with a feeling of apprehension of where this could lead to, and she soon found out she was right when she arrived at the last part of the book.
Samuel Possible --- Kimberly Probable
Kim recognized the names of her grandparents; her grandfather who she had never known and Nana. Kim also noticed that two family lines merged with her grandparents.
On her mother's side Kim saw that only the Credible line still ran, she had to look eight generations back to find the merge there.
The Possible line went on to James Timothy Possible and the Credible line with Anne Credible. And from there all the lines merged in their firstborn child; Kimberly Anne Possible.
"Impressive, don't you think?" Kim spun around and saw Kaji standing in the entrance of the shack.
"It's quite a family tree," Kim admitted, "but it isn't correct."
Kaji grinned and tilted his head, "Really?"
"Yes, you see my father has an older brother," Kim smugly told, "So he should carry the line."
"Normally you would have been right," Kaji admitted, "but Samuel, Slim Possible isn't your father's full brother."
Seeing Kim's surprised expression Kaji continued, "He is only your father's half brother, son of Samuel Possible and Alexandra Turner. His mother died shortly after giving birth and Samuel remarried two years later."
"But he is still the firstborn of a Dragon line," Kim pointed out.
"Yes, but your father is the firstborn of two merged Dragon lines," Kaji explained, "therefore the line continues with him, just as prophecy states."
"What prophecy?" Kim asked, "What does it mean?"
"Nothing you need to concern yourself with until you finish your training," Kaji turned around, "besides, training continues now."
Kim had been gone for little over a week now and Ron was getting more and more agitated and that made it harder for him to concentrate, which made him even more agitated.
"Ron, you got to take a break," his mother ordered, "you won't be getting Kim back by becoming a mental wreck. The first thing you need to do is get your mind off it."
"I can't just forget about KP," Ron snapped.
"Of course not, but you can put your mind off worrying about what might happen or what is happening to her; it doesn't solve anything and you're getting the worse of it."
"Fine," Ron sighed, "I'll try."
"Good," His mother said satisfied, "you can start by taking Hanna to the park, the poor girl is feeling completely neglected by her older brother."
Once Ron was in the park, playing with Hanna he noticed how he began to unwind. His mother had been right; he had been forcing himself and only succeeded in locking himself up more and more. Ron now also understood why his attempt in meditation had failed for the last couple of days.
Since Hanna was playing nicely with some other kids, Ron figured this was as good a time and place as any and he relaxed his mind the way Sensei had taught him and easily he slipped off in a meditative state.
Even though he knew his body was still sitting on a park bench in the Middleton Park and he could still hear the children playing, Ron was now also standing in a large, seemingly infinite, plains.
Sensei had taught Ron that these plains where a spiritual representation of the actual world. But for skilled practitioners, distance was no issue here.
Ron focused on the bond he shared with Kim and almost immediately he could feel her clearly.
Since Ron wasn't too good with directions he moved his head so that he was facing the same direction as his spirit self did before he woke up.
Ron quickly dialed the Kimmunicator, "Wade, I've got a general direction."
Kim's training was going very well and she could fend off Kaji better every day at his own fighting style, when Kim used another style of kung fu she could even get the upper hand.
So it came that at one moment Kim had managed to trip Kaji and she stood over him with her hand ready to strike.
"Admit defeat," Kim smirked, "and don't even try to teleport away, I know it takes you a moment to focus and I won't give you any."
Kaji held his hand up as if in defeat but instead summoned a powerful energy wave that shot Kim straight into the sea.
"What was that?" Kim asked stunned as she stumbled back out of the water and checked herself; the front of her shirt now sported some slight burn marks but she was further unhurt.
"I concentrated my energy and shot it at you," Kaji explained as if it was the most normal thing in the world, "this is a higher level of the Dragon style."
"Ron did something like that against the Lowardians," Kim pondered.
"No talk about the Monkey Lord," Kaji snapped, "so, do you admit defeat?" he added with a grin.
Kim smirked back, "Not a chance, you caught me by surprise this time but I've faced energy shooting persons before, I can handle."
"Found anything yet Wade?" Ron asked excited.
"Not really," Wade told, "there's a lot of land to cover and the directions you gave have quite some margin… maybe if we could cross-fix…"
"What do you mean?" Ron frowned confused.
"You would have to do that thing you did to locate Kim again," Wade explained, "but this time from another place, far enough away from Middleton. Kim should be around the point where the directions cross."
"That sounds like a great idea," Ron said, "where do we start."
"I'll look for some good locations, as close as possible to potential places where Kim could be."
"AARGH," Kim yelled frustrated as she once again failed to push her inner energy outwards as she had seen Kaji do.
Although she had been able to defend herself against the man's energy attacks - fighting Shego for several years really paid off - Kim knew she was at a huge disadvantage and if she was ever to get out of wherever she was she needed be have the upper hand. So every time Kaji left Kim tried to obtain the next level of the Dragon style.
Kim used to be pretty skeptical about mystical powers, but too much proof of existence over the years had made her change her mind. And ever since Kaji had hinted that Kim had the potential of using such powers her – as Ron used to call it – Kimness drove her to unlock those powers.
"I think we did it Ron," Wade told happily, "I've triangulated Kim's most likely position to a group of islands in the Pacific."
"Great," Ron jumped up, "when can I go there?"
"Whoa, no too fast," Wade tried to calm Ron, "this guy can teleport, if we startle him we're back to square one, I'm sending a spy plane over so we can locate the correct island. And then Global Justice will help us setting up a quick enter and rescue mission."
Ron sat down again, "How long do you suppose that is going to take?"
"The spy plane is already on its way," Wade said smugly, "it should be over the island in about half an hour."
Kim sat on the beach, resting for a moment. Kaji had left again; Kim really started to wonder what he did most of the time he was away, and she had used most of the morning in perfecting some martial arts moves.
The sky was clear blue and Kim idly looked for planes; wherever the island was, it wasn't beneath any flight paths.
Suddenly Kim's attention was grabbed by a small dot in the far distance.
"No way," Kim jumped up and ran towards the part of the beach where she had hidden a partial 'HELP' sign on the sand.
Kim had figured out some time ago that writing a large signal for help in the sand wouldn't fall to well with Kaji but making the signal when a plane was arriving would take too much time. So she had prepared outlines for the sign and hid branches under the sand and now it only took her a couple of minutes to uncover the sign.
Despite knowing she was too small to be seen Kim waved her hands and jumped up and down to get the flyer's attention.
Then the plane turned and made another pass over the island, this time Kim was sure the sign had been seen.
"What is this?" Kim spun around and saw Kaji standing a short distance away.
"This is my ticket out of here," Kim smirked.
"Let's see about that," Kaji looked upwards to the plane as if estimating the distance to it, and then he pointed one hand to the plane.
"Oh no you won't," before Kim knew what she was doing, she threw a punch in Kaji's direction.
Kaji had just enough time to look back and see a trail of beach sand being blown away before he was hit. The man flew almost twenty feet backwards before rolling to a stop.
As he looked back at Kim it seemed for a moment that her arms were on fire up to her shoulders, then the glow was gone and Kim seemed normal again.
Kaji chuckled, although with a painful expression on his face, "I see you have been practicing, but now it's time to leave here."
"Forget it," Kim growled, "I'm staying here."
"We'll see about that," Kaji snarled as he got up, a split second later he was gone.
Not deterred at all, Kim rolled backwards and threw a powerful kick forward. Her foot connected right at the moment Kaji reappeared, knocking him back again.
"I don't think your tricks work anymore," Kim smirked, "want to give up?"
"It's time you learned your place," Kaji growled as he ran towards Kim again.
Kim tried to use another energy punch but she didn't have the time to focus enough before Kaji hit her. The strike was slower than she expected and Kim could easily block it, she found out her mistake when the ground disappeared under her.
BEEB BEEB BEEEB BEEB
"What's up Wade?"
"I found her."
"Booyah! Where is she?"
"On an island in the pacific, I know it was Kim because she put up a 'HELP' sign and I could see someone with red hair standing next to it."
"Alright! When do we rescue her?"
"There is already a Global Justice team on their way, but if you take the Sloth and go full throttle, you might just overtake them."
Ron was already running to the Possible residence.
There was sea everywhere, and the water was freezing. Kim didn't know how long she could survive water of this temperature, but she knew it wasn't too long. The water wasn't polar ice cold, but it sure felt close to it.
If this was Kaji's way of teaching her a lesson, he was certainly succeeding; Kim would be a lot more on guard when he tried to teleport her away again. But that didn't really help with Kim's current problem.
Kim looked around once more, but there was still nothing to see until the horizon. Then, when she was lifted by another wave, Kim could see a small dot in the far distance. Seeing it as her only option, Kim started to swim towards it.
The dot turned out to be a small iceberg; Kim was exhausted when she finally got to it and chilled to the bone. It took all her remaining strength to get on the iceberg and completely drained she slumped down.
Kim knew that lying still like this with wet clothes was not really the best thing to do, but she was just too exhausted to care and she was only glad she was out of the water.
"Ron, wherever you are, I love you" Kim thought as consciousness slowly left her.
A/N: Well, that's the first chapter, I hope you enjoyed reading. I would appreciate if you would leave a review.
