AN: Hello Readers and welcome to my story, before you get into the story, I feel I must say why I'm writing this and what you can expect. This Storyline will be split into two stories, the first one will mostly be focused around the Kim Possible world with elements, minor at first from Kenichi: the mightiest disciple. This story will be split into four portions, each representing a year at Middleton high. This first story will not be listed as a crossover as the Kenichiverse(as I shall dub it) is more infleuntial in the second story but does help characters develop in this.
If you do not know of Kenichi, do not worry as I will try to write as if you know nothing of either show. So basically as descriptive as I can be. As for why I'm writing this. Well KP is my favourite childhood show, bar none. While Kenichi is 1st, tied for 1st or 2nd in my favourite anime shows, it moves placed with Highschool DxD as does my fancy but those two are my favourite. And I just want to write a story, hence I'm writing.
The Story will be motly martial art based, which have little to no real training in, so please bear with me if some earlier chapters are found lacking, I will read constructive criticism to help improve them. Flames will be dismissed. Hope you Enjoy the Story.

Path to Mastery:
Chapter One:
Ryozanpaku
Ronald Dean Stoppable had just received the worse news in his young life. His father was recently named Actuary of the Year, and his company offered him a promotion, with a catch. He had to go to Japan for a few years, basically just before Ron would start High school, and work there to earn the Promotion back home.
"Can I got talk to KP?" was all Ron could say to the news, as his mother and father talked to him in their living room. His father nodded.
"Sure son, just be back before dark." was all he said as he got up and wondered elsewhere in the house, his mother going into the kitchen. Ron quickly got up and ran to Kim's house, she should know what to do, she always does.
PtMPtMPtMPtMPtMPtM
Ron had just rang Kim's doorbell, as he clutched his sides from the pain as he tired himself out all but sprinting over. His breath seeming to allude him even as he breathed deeply. Mr. Dr Possible, or Mr. Dr P as Ron calls him opens the door. An eyebrow raise in question to Ron's state of fatigue.
"Hey Ronald, where's the fire?" Ron looked up, his breathing starting to even out as he stood up straight.
"Hey Mr. Dr P, is Kim home?" Asked Ron, he breath still a little laboured, plus the turmoil over how he would explain this to his best friend since Pre-K making his voice a little strained.
"Sure Ronald she's just in the Kitchen with her Mother, come on in." With that Mr. Dr P walked towards the kitchen, Ron following behind. As Ron walked through the house he saw pictures of the Possible family, a few with him in them. They we're like a second family to him and once again he felt the sadness of having to leave them behind for a few years.
"Hey Ron, what's the sitch?" asked Kim, she is sitting at the table with her mother eating some fruit salad. Ron just took a seat next to her and looked at her. Kim saw Ron looking at her weirdly and was wondering what was going on, incidentally getting a weird look on her face, making Mrs. Dr P laugh lightly at their faces.
Ron snapped out of his trance by Mrs. Dr P laugh, decided to get it all out quickly.
"Well, my Dad just got Actuary of the Year." Two congratulations we're sent this way at the news. "However, he got offered a job Promotion." Once again Congratulations, even one from Mr. Dr P who just walked back into the kitchen. "In Japan for a few years." With that silence quickly went over the room. Kim just looked shock while her parents we're looking at her, doing what parents did best and worried over their child.
"You'll be moving away?" was all Kim could get out. Tears at the edge of her eyes already.
"I know it sucks to be leaving my best friend behind." Said Ron feeling more upset at making her cry, so he quickly tried to bring it back to positive for her. "But I should be coming back for Highschool here, freshman year." Kim wiped her eyes to clear away the tears, a look of focus came to her face.
Ron knows that face, its her face when she see's something to overcome. Like when she did her first mission for that Multi-Billionare collector of Cuddle Buddies a few days ago, Although his memories we're a little fuzzy about that day, as Ron think he passed out.
Minutes passed, Kim was focused on something and thinking hard, Ron long learned to wait when she was like this, so his mind began to wonder to random things, such as his pet Rufus who was currently at home, could he take him to Japan?
"I got it!" Kim shouted, standing to attention quickly. Ron was startled out his thoughts and nearly fell out of his chair in surprise at Kim's outburst. "Pen Pals." was all that Kim said, as if it explained everything. Still going with her energy, she motioned for Ron to follow before running upstairs.
Ron was still confused, as he did not understand by what she meant, but followed as any solution she might have, would more likely than not be better than anything he could up with.

"And that is it, your own email set up and you knowing how to access it" Said Kim, who just set up Ron his own email address and show him how to use it. However there was one thing that was on his mind now that the email was sorted out. Kim's missions.
"Kim, what you going to do with these mission, without me?" Asked Ron, thinking back to his promise to her father of keeping her safe.
"Well I only just started, but without my oh so reliable backup" a slight smile was on her face at her teasing tone, causing Ron to childishly stick his tongue out at her. "I guess I will be more careful with accepting dangerous missions."
"Like a room full of lasers that can cut you up like salami." Kim rolled her eyes.
"Yes like that, and you best be ready to rejoin me when you get back."
"Definitely"
"So that means you got a great chance in going to Japan."
"Huh?" confusion was written all over Ron's Face making Kim giggle.
"Japan has a long History in Martial Arts Ron, so promise me you'll try, so when you come back your a" Kim took a breath as she never used these words to describe Ron. "Total Badass."
"It's a Promise" announced Ron in what he assumed was a heroic pose. Kim just laughed at the image, causing Ron to pout.
"Ronald, your parents called, they went you to come back home now." Mrs. Dr P called from downstairs. Instantly the atmosphere of the room changed back to sad. Kim quickly got up and hugged Ron.
"I'm gonna miss you, best friends forever 'K?" Mumbled Kim into Ron's shoulder. Ron just hugged her back.
"Me to Kim, and yeah, best friends forever." With that Ron and Kim walked downstairs, The Possible Family said their goodbye's to Ron and wished him and his family luck, before he walked out of the door, and away from his best friend for years to come.

It's been a few days since the Stoppable family arrived in Japan, and after a few days of unpacking and sorting some necessities out, Ron finally asked his father if he could learn martial arts. Naturally he was sceptical at first, but agreed to it, and was currently walking around their town looking for a English speaking teacher for Ron.
After a few failures in Communication, Dean Stoppable's rudimentary Japanese got them directions to a Dojo that spoke English. A place called Ryozanpaku.
After arriving at the Ryozanpaku Dojo, Dean knocked on the large wooden gates and as waiting for an answer.
"You sure you want to do this Ronald." Dean asked his son. Ron being a bit nervous just nodded.
Soon the gates opened and a large blonde hair man with a long beard and dressed in a tight green Kimono answered the door. Ron and Dean both gaped at the size and aura of the man, his clothing stuck to his flesh like a second layer, and his body would make Greek god's envious. To say he was ripped would be an understatement.
"Hello, how may I help you?" asked the Blone Giant in Japanese.
"Ah, I was informed this was a dojo, and that you speak english?" asked Dean nervous at the aura of this man to find it harder than normal to speak.
"Ah Gomen, Yes this the Ryozanpaku dojo and many masters here speak English, may I ask for the purpose of your visit?"
"My son wishes to learn Martial Art's. We've tried a few Dojo's but none of the master's speak english well, and my son has just started learning the language." Dean said indicating his son, was slowly started to hide behind his dad since the large man appeared.
"Oh a potential student then? Please come in and let's talk some more inside." The Blonde man opened the gate and turned back inside the compound.
As Ron walked in he noticed two buildings built in a traditional Japanese style, one large building in the centre of this walled compound and one smaller one to its left, if you look at it from the gate.
"May I ask what you teach here?" asked Dean as he followed with his son.
"Currently we have Masters of Jujitsu, Chinese Kung fu and Karate residing here. There are a few others but, like me they travel a lot." The blonde Giant explained. "Oh where are my manners, my name is Furinji Hayato." With that he opened the sliding doors of the building, revealing a large area with a table in the centre and a tea set already placed. A few cushions were around the table for seating.
Following him in, and taking their shoes of at the entrance, they learned some basic Japanese customs and manners in their short time here, and sat at the opposite side of the table to him, politely declining his offer for tea.
"Before we go much further, I must ask the young one this." With that Ron felt like the entire world was judging him as Hayato looked at him. "Why do you want to learn Martial Arts?" Ron thought about why, his promise to Kim? To protect himself from bullies now that Kim wasn't here? He knew to just say what felt right.
"To protect myself, and the one's I care for." Said Ron fiercely, looking at Hayato in the eyes. As he spoke he felt a burning energy rush through his body, as he realised his dream while being in Japan. To get strong enough to protect all he cares for.
"Hohoho, a fine answer indeed young man." Stroking his beard similar to Guan Yu from the Three Kingdoms Era of China. He turned his gaze back to Dean. "I will have a word with my fellow Master's tonight, please return tomorrow for an answer, if none are willing to teach this fine young man, we will help you find another English speaking Dojo."
Saying their thanks both Ron and his father got up and left to return home.
PtMPtMPtMPtMPtMPtM
Hayato was sat at the same table later that night with two other people, a small Chinese man wearing a green Chinese shirt, black kung fu pants and slippers and a tall Japanese man wearing a Jujitsu uniform. The Chinese man was Ma Kensei and the Japanese man was Keotsuji Akisame
"So what do you think of this young child who wishes to join this dojo." Asked Hayato to the others.
"I think its a great idea, his drive for learning his simple and pure. Question is, what to teach him?" Responded Akisame, stroking his pencil moustache.
"You saw the child Hayato, what style would you think be best for him?" Asked Kensei, his eyes peering up from under his bowl hat.
"Hmm, if we do take him as a student, we could just take turns building his foundation up, and decide from that what style would suit him best."
"Will he be a student or a disciple?" Asked Akisame.
"I believe his family will only be here for a few years, so a student, but potentially he might grow into a disciple." Hayato looked around the room. "So, are we willing to give this young man a chance?" Kensei and Akisame both nodded. "Excellent, them tomorrow Ron Stoppable will become a student of Ryozanpaku!"
