Dear Readers:

I wanted to say thank-you for reading my fan fictions and being my fan base. Although, you might not believe this but I am actual not a teenager I'm in my late twenty's. I grew up watching the very first ever Power Rangers and my favorite characters are the original set of team then Dino Thunder in a few others. However, I am a huge Kira, Tommy, and Conner fan. I like the whole cast. Although, I have switch the story from being a Kira and Tommy fan fiction. However, chapter 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 will be back on them. I am switching it back because as I read the story I lost tract of why I wrote the story in the first place. I feel as if Kirmmory is dying so please don't hate me for the switch back to the main story.

On the other hand, I am thankful for having you all as a wonderful fan base in please be sure to check out the plot and twists to the story. Please note this is a fan fiction. Oh, I forgot to mention that I change Kira's daughter age to the age seven. It's for a reason lol. Well, on with the story.

Chapter 10:

It's been two weeks since Kira and Zach talk in the more Zach learn about his sister the more he is amaze at her. Zach Taylor enter the house where his former teammate lives as his sister came down the stairs follow by Tommy they were not on speaking term still. Zack and Kira watches as Tommy look over at Kim with puppy sad eyes as Kira looks down sad. Zach new that look from anywhere in it hurts him to see his sister crushing on her teacher but what he didn't know that she carries a deep dark secret two of them that no one knows about accept her daughter and Conner McKnight. Kimberly and Tommy set at the table as Kira look down at her bowl of cereal as the other former rangers crowd the table.

"Kira we have training today". Tommy told her as he looks up from his coffee as Kira looks down at her bowl of cereal with sad eyes again.

"Ok!" Kira says as the other could hear the sadness in her voice. She took her bowl in her things from off the counter as Kara came down the stairs.

"Are you ready for school?" Zack ask his niece to kill the tension in the air.

"I'm ready Uncle Zach." Kara says as he watches his sister clean the last of the dishes as Kira hugs Aisha tight before leaving out the door. Sometimes Kira just felt like giving up but some days she keeps moving on because of her daughter. Tommy heard the door slam shut as he close his eyes from the slammed.

"She still isn't talking to you?" Aisha asks him concern for her yellow friend but worried about her best friend as he looks down sad.

"No not since you all showed up. She's very smart; smarter than Ethan. I don't know what I did wrong Aisha even Hayley hates me at because Kira isn't talking to me. What did I do wrong to make a teenage girl hate me that much?" Tommy says with a sad face as the others look down especially Jason because he knows a thing or two about heartache.

"Tommy you have to realize Kira is going through a lot right now she has a seven year old kid, her mother was beaten her in the reason she has a seven year old kid is through rape. She watches her family die in front of her while fighting for her life. Something like that takes time to heal on its own just talk to her Tommy." Aisha told her as she looks at his best friend. Tommy nods his head as he gathers up his tings for work. He didn't say anything back as Aisha looks over at Kim.

Tommy had entered his classroom where he teaches science he had scanned the room for Kira however; he forgot that Kira had transferred at all his classes. He signs as he let out a soft sob as Conner, Trent, and Ethan look to the back of the room at the empty desk chair. Conner looks over at his teammates as he whisper to them.

"Guys this not talking with Dr. O is really eaten him up inside we need to have a team meeting and practice after school." Conner says he tries to get Dr. O attention in he did just that. Tommy nods his head to the jester.

Fifth period had ending by fast as the kids crowd the hallways some were catching up on the latest gossip others where exciting about going to their music class. Ethan James didn't like his last class because of their old music teacher in how he used to treat them. However, what he didn't know was that his best friend was his teacher. The door close to the music room as all eyes fell on the young woman as she walks quietly to her desk as Ethan James eyes got big from seeing his best friend standing there as his teacher. Kira looks down scared. She knew Cassidy would want an interview for the school paper. However, this time she didn't even get up out her chair she was actually paying attention.

"Hello, my name is Kira Ford Taylor and I am the new music teacher. Mr. Hayes is no longer with us some of you may know me and other may not. I am nice and kind to everyone. I know you have questions to why I am your teacher. Well, a couple years ago I was in a terrible accident with my mom at the age five I spent three years in a coma. I had to start school late all over again. When I was ten I enter into the Penn Fighting torment I won my first black belt at ten then I went on to winning 25 black belts, 7 yellow black belts, ten green belts and five white belts by fifteen. I went under the name K. Taylor." Kira says as all the boys and girls' mouth fell open including Ethan.

"Miss. Taylor why did you stop? You broke the world record at thirteen. I have seen some of your fights included your brother fights what happen at the last game?" One of Kira's student ask as she looks away from them with tears in her eyes for the first time in alone time she can finally talk about her rape.

"Well, JC if I can remember correctly you where wearing blue that day. My dad, brother, and I were on our way home from the torment when my dad stops for gas and us something to eat. My dad didn't know he walked into a robbery gone wrong. The other gang members gotten out from the car in pull a gun to my brother and I head. I survive the robbery barely alive. I was raped and beaten in left for dead. However, I gain a child behind my raped her name is Kara in she's seven years old.

"I remember that it was on the news for days your dad was famous also he was love by many people. Did you ever get over your rape?" The red head girl said as Kira smile at her as well as her classmates.

"I'm twenty three it took me seven years to get over my rape and losing my twin brother. My friends don't even know my real age or this story. I never told them because I felt ashamed and scared. I barely had a home life. My mom use to beat me when she gets drunk. I am telling you now because I am not afraid anymore and it wasn't my fought. I graduated at Yale at the top of my class my IQ is a 7.5 I finish college at the age twelve. My dad was smart I get a lot of my smartest from my dad but my dad never once told me I couldn't do karat in go to school. He encourages me just as I am going to encourage you. I want you to be able to express yourselves opening. Principle Randall and I will be doing seminars on teen violence as well as rape. I will also be the new guidance counselor. I hope you all will like my class because I am going to treat you all the same.

"Miss Taylor do you want us to call you Dr. Taylor or Miss. Kira?" Cassidy Cornell asks.

"Dr. Taylor will be fine Cassidy thank-you all for understanding I just hope my friends will understand." Kira says as she smiles at them and Ethan raises his hand.

"My I have permission to get up?" Ethan asks as Kira nods her had yes. Everyone watches as Ethan gets up in walk towards Kira in embrace her with a hug.

"That was very brave I don't care about your age you are still my best friend forever and always." Ethan said as the rest of the group gets up in hug Kira.

It was the end of the day almost and the boys had entered Dr. O house once again with their back packs on their shoulders in books and there hand as they slammed down on their teacher couch tired. Kimberly came back downstairs with her noise stuck in the air as she rolls her eyes at the boys.

"Don't you like have a home to go too I mean I know one of them don't but you know you shouldn't hang around here all day." Kim says very rude and nasty as Conner and the rest had enough of her mouth in talking about another teammate.

"I had about enough of your damn mouth. All you care about is your damn self. You don't have enough damn consideration for others." Conner McKnight yell as the others came up from the Dino Lair.

"You don't have a right to talk to me that way you're a little ass child that don't know right from wrong you don't even deserve the right to wear the red color dumb as you are." Kim says as Conner walks up to Kim and Tommy steps in front of them.

"I have no right, I have no right I put my life on the damn line every damn day. My aunt dies in car crash but I am here every damn day putting my life on the line. Kira was rape, lost her family been in a coma at the age of five in had a child behind it but she puts her life on the line for the greater good. You are a damn bitch. Ethan helps and protects this city just well as Trent. This is my team and my friends my job as a human being in a man to protect this city. If you don't like it well frankly my dear I don't give a got damn because you are a rude as bitch. I will give my team the world if I have two I will put my life on the line for my team because we are family in you cross that line alone time ago."

"Conner that's an adult you have a right to talk her that way." Tommy yells as Conner pushes Dr. O and Kira came out of nowhere in pulls Conner from Tommy.

"Conner calm damn! It's me K your best friend since we where newborns. Calm down ok don't scare me please Conner." Kira says as she ran in got Conner medics from his bag. She went back to Conner as she tries to snap Conner out of his stage of dizziness. Kira was getting scared she never seen Conner act that way she started fidgeting for her phone but Conner pull her hand.

"Don't call my mom ok." Conner says as he tries to adjust his eyes a little.

"Conner, you scared me what the hell happen you zone out like last time what's going on with the dam yelling?" Kira says as Conner looks away hurt.

"She was talking about you while the others were down in the lab this is the tenth time she has call you out your name. Dr. O ask like it's alright like his old team and his new team going to get alone when you have one bad seed causing trouble. I'm tire of lying Kira she call me a damn kid I'm twenty three years old damn lawyer then she said I don't deserve to wear the color red when I put my life on the line every day. I'm about to just shut the color red down all together." Conner says as they both forgot that the others were there.

"Don't Conner you and I know damn well different thanks for defending my honor. I told the kids today at school doing my music class some were quit shock that I was the K. Taylor. I told them everything about my history, some even remember my dad. I receive hugs all day long. Cassidy even ask me what should they call me I told them Dr. Taylor will be fine when I told them my age and that I finish college at the age twelve I think that did a number. I wouldn't change Yale or all of my fighting championship for nothing in the world. I am still the first female to break the world fighting championship in the nation. I have an IQ of a 7.5 do you honestly think I give a damn what the rest think anymore or what Miss. Kim think or say she can't say a damn thing to me because I heard it all before you are my hero Conner. I couldn't do this without you but you made me who I am today. We need to talk about Kara later.

"Why what's wrong with her? Did something happen today at school?" Conner says as Conner voice sounded serious.

"I think Kara is your daughter Conner." Kira says as Conner looks AWAY FROM Kira as a single tear fell from his eye as he tried not to remember that night.

"I still have nightmares Kira I can't shake what I did to you and what happen to me with the other gang members. Sometimes, I wish I can turn back the clock and we never witness that murder in your dad didn't have to put me in a witness protection program. I knew she was mine Kira that is why I sent the money even though we wasn't allow too under the witness protection program.

"Conner he pull a weapon to your head we where young we didn't know we were going to witness a murder. That's why dad had to leave Zach with nanny and fled the country. Oh my gosh you remember our first sets of name we had wait what was it I think my name was Teena Calibri in we ran to Japan that where the love of karat came from as well. I talk to Mr. Cheng on the phone he's coming to visit. Conner don't feel bad because we had no control of what happen. I never held a grudge against you. Do you want to tell Kara tomorrow?" Kira says as Conner eyes got big Kira follow Conner movement.

"How long have you been standing there?" Conner said as Conner holds onto Kira hand.

"Through the whole thing you could have told us." Haley said as she walks toward them and gave them a hug.

"Thanks Haley when you get here?" Kira says as Haley looks to Ethan.

"Ethan called me he was scared I heard the yelling I came right on I heard your news on the morpher am glad you finally opening up and talking to people. Please talk to Tommy." She whispers in Kira ear as she looks over at him with a sad face.

"Dr. O, can we talk in private?" Kira says as he looks away from her mad.

"Now you want talk to me for what you hated me remember?" Tommy yelled as the room fell quiet.

"I never said I hated you I was mad at you for shutting me out. I needed you the most and you push me away for someone who don't give a damn about you. I set the alarm clock for you so you wouldn't be late, I eve check the computers with Haley to make sure everything was ok while you were trapped in your suit. You let someone else come in put wedge on your team, where was she when you where in the hospital? Wake the hell up in see what's in front of you before it too late." Kira yells back as she went to walk away Tommy grabs her arm Conner rose up from out of his seat follow by Zach as Tommy pulled Kira into a passionate kissed as Kira kissed him back as Kira sob into his shoulder.

"I'm sorry I thought I was doing the right thing and I thought I had already lost you to my best friend and I just didn't want to cause trouble. I love you more than anything on this Earth and it took Aisha to point that out to me. I just didn't want to hurt you or Jason because he's my best friend and I just couldn't hurt him." Tommy says as he pulls Kira into another kiss
