Power of One

Chapter 2

As Kim knelt there in the small room at Yamunuchi School that had been provided for her. She stared up into the night sky wondering about all the things she had been told that day about Ron and the predetermined fight he was destined to take part in. Her thoughts were lost when Ron walked into the room and slid the door behind him shut.

Kim: Ron? What are you doing here?

Ron: This is my room KP.

Kim stared at him for a few minutes she was sure this was her room then she realised what Ron had done she smiled up at him.

Kim: Ron didn't you tell our parents that we would have separate rooms?

Ron: I never said ours rooms would be separate, I just said that WE would be provided with A room. Besides their half way round the world what they don't know won't hurt them.

Kim looked up at his smiling face she returned the warm smile soon she was keeling up right with her finger on her chin.

Kim: Well would you come warm me up Ronnie it's kinda chilly in here.

Ron responded by kneeling down but before he could do anything he found himself being tackled to the floor as Kim wrapped her arms round his waist forcing him into the mat as she nuzzled her head into his chest as he held her in his arms as they began to sleep.

The door cracked open opened as Yori peeked into the room staring down at the mat with the sleeping lovers. For a few seconds she couldn't take her gaze off the two, she finally slid the door shut and made her way to the gardens just outside the dorms where she found a bench to sit. She did her best to hold back the tears, deep down she wished it was her within his embrace and her who he loved but she knew now that his heart was not hers to take it belonged to Kim, this made her tears poar ever more so before a familiar voice of an old man.

Sensei: You love him don't you Yori?

Yori: Sensei! I'm sorry I did not hear you.

Yori quickly wiped her tears from her as she stood to bow to her master Sensei.

Sensei: Well that is why I'm the Master Yori. Yet that is not the issue Yori you are one of the best students at this school and would have been aware of my presence if your mind was not on more pressing matters.

Yori: I…..I cannot help it Sensei. The more I think about the two of them the more upset I become. Why cannot I be the one he loves?

Sensei: Yori, Stoppable-San and Possible-Dono share a true bond, his heart is pure and it belongs to her. It is because of her that he will go into the on coming battle, he will fight for her. He was never meant the life of the ninja but that of the noble samurai. Yori, Kim-Dono has her role in this just as Stoppable-San just as you.

Yori: You mean……

Yori then pulled out the small flute which Sensei had given her as a child as she continued.

Yori...The Prayer of One?

Sensei: Yes Yori. I had never intended for you to choose the path of the ninja like Stoppable-San you are pure of heart and noble and unlike the ninja you feel compassion and love, your path is that of the samurai and your destiny runs along with Stoppable-San and Possible-Dono .

Yori slowly rose to her feet and bowed to her Master and teacher.

Yori: I'm ready Sensei I choose the path of the Samurai and I except my destiny.

Sensei: Then Yori we shall help Stoppable-San hone his skills and we have only a week before the planets align so when the morning comes we will begin training Stoppable-San as hard as we can agree.

Yori nodded in agreement as she walked back to her dorm preparing for the up coming times ahead it wasn't going to be easy.

Day was breaking and the suns rays began seeping into the small room where a beautiful red head lay in slumber. When the rays passed over her eyes she winched and slowly spread her arms out blindly surveying the floor near her for the man who was meant to be there but found only the mat, this caused her eyes to open and double check to see if he hadn't simply rolled away however that wasn't the case he really was gone, she sat up rubbing her eyes noticing that the ninja Ki that Ron had brought with him the previous night were gone this caused her to wake up complete, soon her hearing caught the sound of battle she then made out Ron's grunts and shouts among them she leaped up and threw on the Ki and made her way outside.

As she entered the courtyard and looked over towards the arena and saw a hoard of ninja converging to one spot that spot being one Ron Stoppable who was armed with nothing but a Bo staff fighting off around 8 oncoming ninjas with surprising ease, Kim however didn't have time to be impressed she ran towards the scrum till a withered voice called her to stop.

Sensei: Wait Kim Possible please do not worry Stoppable-San is training and can not be disturbed.

Kim: Training since when?

Sensei: Since four.

Kim: This morning? Wow, but why didn't he wake me?

Sensei: That was my fault I believe it would be best if you didn't intervene with his training, at least not yet. You see from your reaction just now I take it you are not use to seeing Stoppable-San in this situation?

Kim: Well Ron was never one to fight on his own he usually played the distraction then got out the way when the fight started, although looking at him now he seems to be doing okay. I've never seen him fend himself so well.

Sensei: As I suspected. Kim Possible I believe that Stoppable-San realise on you too much to save him that is why when you are around he cannot unleash his potential. However something tells me that you are going to be present when he is called for his battle and if he cannot learn to fight with you around then this will all be pointless.

Kim: Well what do you have in mind?

The old man smiled then reached into his robe and pulled out a ninja mask.

Sensei: Well since you already have you Ki on I suggest that you complete it with this and well get in there.

Kim looked surprised till she figured out what the old man meant. She slipped on the mask and walked behind him to the squared circle where Ron had defeated all his attackers, to Kim surprise.

Sensei: Very good Stoppable-San your skills have grown dramatically in the last few hours now disband your weapon; your next exercise involves a one on one bout with this ninja.

Ron looked up at the slim figure and couldn't help but find it attractive he scanned the body from feet upwards but before he got to the eyes a fist came hurtling at him which he barely dodged. He stumbled back, at first he believed it to be Yori, till he saw in the corner of his eye that she was still on the side lines watching. His mind was quickly drawn away from the mystery as the ninja girl threw another punch which again Ron dodged with surprising ease. Play time was officially over Ron got his game face on as the ninja came at him he began dodging and throwing the attacks away with counter strikes, soon he was on the offences which really surprised our ninja who could only block and dodge till eventually Ron got the better of her grabbing one of her punches and turning the leverage into a throw that slammed her into the ground and caused Sensei to call for a halt on the fight.

As the ninja looked up she saw how Ron had taking a fight stance she had seen a certain Monkey man take it was then she knew that Ron was getting real control of his Tia Ch'ing Pep qwar she was cut off from her thoughts as Sensei intervened.

Sensei: Excellent Stoppable-San you are beginning to understand your powers and use them, but maybe now you should know who your opponent was.

Ron looked very confused, why was that so important he figured that out as he turned to the ninja as she removed her mask, her fire red hair flowing over her shoulders as her Emerald Green eyes stared deep into his brown pearls. Ron let out an eep as he took a step back.

Ron: KIM POSSIBLE! I just duked it out with THE Kim Possible!

Kim: Ron its okay you did great. Sensei thought that me being here would distract you so we thought it would be best if I with held my identity and look how you did, now come on Ron care for round 2?

Ron: Well I don't know Kim, I mean I'm quite tired and …….

Ron continued to rant on but Kim knew he wasn't tired; he was scared she thought another plan was best.

Kim: Okay Ron go ahead walk away, and prove to everyone that you are and always will be my GOOFY SIDE-KICK!

Ron already had his back and was walking away but stopped in his tracks when he heard the side-kick comment, that didn't go down well as Ron turned to his girlfriend and slipped into a fight stance.

Ron: Alright KP, round 2 it is!

Kim: Well okay then Ron get ready cause this time I ain't holding back.

As the two smiled ay one another they charged at each other preparing themselves for one hell of a training session. From the look of it Ron has gotten other his fear of fighting when Kim was around and it was time to get ready to face his destiny.
