Hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter! And again thanks for the reviews!

So I'm hoping to put in a little more drama into this chapter…Just a warning.

Without further ado…

Chapter 11: Fighting it out.

To say that Tommy was shocked when he saw that Trent was his sparring partner was nothing short of an understatement. He assumed that Jason was asking Trini or Kim, not one of his student or in this case the source of his anger. Tommy felt torn. Part of him was telling him that it was a bad idea to fight Trent and another part was telling him to go right ahead and beat the crap out of the Drago Ranger. He decided to ignore the first voice and just fight with the said ranger.

Trent looked equally surprised to see that he was in fact gonna spar with his mentor, and amazingly he looked scared. Amazing because Tommy knew how strong the boy was and he could have a good chance of over powering him. But just as Tommy was gonna walk away he saw a smug look on Trent's face.

"Hey Dr. O. I guess I'm getting another chance to kick your ass huh."

As a reflex Tommy responded, "Watch your language." Tommy felt like slapping himself as Trent started laughing as Tommy's oh-so-witty response. Tommy narrowed his eyes at the tee and took up a fighting stance. Trent controlled his laughter and followed suit. Jason acted as referee and stood in the middle signaling them to begin. After a round of punches and kicks from both of them Tommy realized that they were too evenly matched. And he was not going to back down. He wanted to win and he wanted to win badly. So he used his instinct and gut instead of his head to fight.

He was now putting in a lot more force into his hits and Trent had to focus more on blocking and ducking, which was very hard as Tommy was relentless. Trent looked around wondering why Jason wasn't stopping Tommy and was so surprised when the said referee seemed to have disappeared that he let his guard down. Tommy took advantage of that and pinned down the ex Din Thunder ranger.

Just as Tommy's hand was poised for a punch directly I line with Trent's eye he yelled,

"Dr. O! Stop! I didn't do anything with her!"

Tommy was so stunned that he let his arm drop. Trent immediately seized the chance and jumped up from under Tommy. Tommy stood as well and turned to Trent with narrowed eyes,

"What are you talking about?"

"Kira! She told me everything about the two of you." He said panting slightly, "It's not her fault, I can be very persuasive if I want,"

"Oh…"

"Yeah, look Dr. O Kira and I are friends, very good and close friends. And Yes, maybe there was I time I had wanted us to be more than friends but definitely not now. Not after she told me how happy she was with you."

Tommy was taken aback into silence. He had no idea what to say.

"Ok, if you're done trying to beat the crap outta me, I'm gonna take whatever's left of my dignity and leave" And without waiting for a response Trent all but ran from there, leaving Tommy to dwell on his muddled thoughts.

KTKTKTKTKT

Unbeknownst to the two ex-white rangers, Jason had been watching and listening to them the whole time. He had gone off so that Tommy would let his emotions loose but stayed close enough in case things got out of hand. He was about to stop the fight when the two started talking, well Trent was talking and Tommy was gazing into space.

Jason was in shock from what he just learnt. Tommy … … … and Kira were dating! It wasn't the fact that Tommy was dating that bothered him. It was the fact the he hadn't even told Jason about it. After all they were best friends! He quickly strode up to ask his soon to be ex best friend just that.

KTKTKTKTKTKT

Tommy was still trying to wrap his mind around the fact that yet another person knew about his "relationship" with Kira when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned and saw a seething Jason staring at him.

"Something on your mind that you wanna tell me bro?" Jason asked.

Tommy raised his eyebrow, "Not that I know of."

Jason glared harder, "Oh really, think harder."

Tommy was getting irritated now, "Look Jase, if you want to say something, say it!"

"Ok, how about the fact that you never, not even once, mentioned that you were involved with Kira!? Or how bout the fact that she's your student?! Or that you're at least 8 years senior to her? Or that you just tried to kill your other student because you were JEALOUS?!! Any of this sound familiar at all?!"

Tommy stared at him friend, "Great, another one. Some secret." He muttered under his breath. He took a deep breath and faced Jason. "Look bro, I didn't tell you or anyone else for that matter because there are just some parts of my life that I would rather keep privet. And Kira's no longer my student so we're free to do whatever we want."

"Really and what exactly have you guys done?"

Tommy glared back at the original red, "That Jason is non of your business." He snapped.

"Oh, it is my business when a friend gets in over his head."

"And what makes you think I'm in over my head?!"

"Well, you're dating you student for one!"

"She's not my student! And why does it matter who I'm dating?!"

"You're obviously acting from stress! There is no way you're really interested in an 18 year old girl!"

"What's wrong with that?!" a new, just as angry voice cut in. The two men turned and saw Kira and Trini. It was Trini who had spoken and from the looks of the two girls' faces they had over heard the entire exchange.

"Answer the question Jason, what's wrong with Tommy being interested in someone younger than him?"

Jason stammered, "Well…It's just not right for someone like him to be with someone like…her!"

Kira glared at him, up till that moment she had thought that Jason was a cool guy. Trini was about to reply when she cut in, "Drop it Trini. I don't feel like fighting." She turned to Jason and Tommy, "I came here for a holiday, to get away from all the memories from fighting back home. Instead I've done and seen nothing but that since coming here. You" she pointed at Tommy, "have been absolutely irrational. You get angry you yell or say something mean, and then later come and apologize and you were so jealous that you actually beat up Trent?! And you," she pointed at Jason, "You're supposed to be his best friend. Why can't you for once lay off him and respect his choices? I don't mean to sound disrespectful but that's the way it is." Kira turned and stomped off as fast as she could leaving behind three ex rangers with stunned expressions on their faces.

KTKTKTKTKT

Kira hurried over to Trent, "Hey Trent, I'm kinda tired. Could you take me back to the hotel please." She avoiding looking at him in the eye but she was sure that he got her silent message as to why she wanted to leave. Trent nodded and went to tell Kim and Billy that they were leaving before walking with her to the car park.

As they drove to the hotel, Trent plucked up his courage and asked, "Kira what's wrong?"

Kira sighed, "I'd rather not talk about it Trent."

Trent reached over and grabbed her hand, "Sure but I'm here if you need me."

Kira smiled at him, grateful. "I just head Jason and Dr. O fight."

Trent frowned, "That's what you're upset about? That they were fighting?"

"No…It's what they were fighting about."

Trent turned into the Hotel's parking lot but made no move to get out of the car. He turned and looked at Kira, "And what were they fighting about?" he asked tentatively not wanting to upset her.

Kira sighed and ran a hand through her long hair, "They were fighting about…well, about me. Some how Jason found out about me and Dr. O and was saying…stuff."

Trent now looked angry, "Kira, what 'stuff' was he saying?" he asked sternly.

Kira sighed again, "Just stuff like how I was too young for him and that I was his student." She paused, "He also said that 'it was just not right'" she made quotation marks, "for someone like him to be with someone like me"

"He said that?!" Trent asked in disbelief and then he started cursing under his breath.

"Wait till I get my hands on that son of a bitch."

KTKTKTKTKT

"What just happened?" Jason asked finally breaking the silence that had befallen over the three friends.

Snapped out of her trance, Trini glared at her husband, "That was a yellow ranger at her best."

"Her best?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah, her best. Any ranger is at their best when they can stand up to the two of you. And don't say that she was out of line. She most definitely wasn't. You, Jason were out of line judging Tommy's choices and you Tommy for not defending her at all. Oh, don't say that you did, all you said was that she wasn't your student." She added when Tommy was going to interrupt her.

Tommy sighed, Trini was right. "I guess we better go find her."

The other two nodded and the three ex comrades walked back in silence. When they reached the area where Kim and Billy were seated at, they realized that Kira wasn't there.

"She asked Trent to take her back to the hotel; she said she wasn't feeling to well And Ethan and Connor are off playing soccer." Ethan said when asked about the missing people.

Billy looked at Jason, Trini and Tommy. Something was no right, "What's going on guys?"

"What do you mean?" Trini asked.

"Well, first when we arrive here Kira takes off and then comes back with Trent. Then for no reason, no reason that I know of, Tommy is suddenly very angry. Yes, I noticed. Then Trent, Jason and him disappear. After a while Trent comes back looking very badly beaten up. When question he said that it was of your doing Tommy. So Kira and Trini go off to find out what happened and then Kira comes looking very upset so she asks Trent to take her back. And then you three come back looking like you each have the desire to murder each other in their sleep."

All four of them stared at Billy who just shrugged and said "What? I'm observant."

Kim turned back to the three of them looking at them expectantly, "Well, I can't wait to hear your explanation for all of that."

KTKTKTKTKT

And that's it for chapter 11! I wanted to upload ASAP but for some reason I couldn't connect onto the net. I hate my wireless here! It so sucks!!!!!

Anyways, I was so sad that I had to make Jason seem like such an ass in this chapter! I like Jason, I like him a lot! I just needed some drama and a fight between best friends was just perfect.

I hope this chapter wasn't too short! If you guys want a really long nice fic check out Of Love and Bunnies by Crazygril47. It's a Tommy/Kim fic that has 78 chapters and is really superbly nice!

I originally considered turning this into a Trent/Kira fic but realized that Tommy and Kira are just meant to be.

That's it for now. Don't forget to read and review!
