Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Kim Possible or my newest guest star Hattori Hanzo from the great but bloody move Kill Bill by writer-director Quentin Tarantino and since I have not been paid a penny for all of my hard work on this story I hope Mr. Tarantino forgives me.

A very Special Thanks goes out to my beta reader Samurai Crunchbird because of all the extra work he has been doing for me lately. The poor guy was putting in less overtime on his real job than what he has had to do to get these last few chapters finished for me. But I know we all appreciate all of his extra effort. Please remember to visit his site and drop him a line.

I also wish to thank Jutter6922 for another great review

Chapter 25

Legal Eagles Fly

Burn Burman was sound asleep when his phone started ringing. Looking up at the clock on the night stand, it read 3:30 am.

"Damn it!!" he groaned as he reached for the annoying device that was interrupting his sleep.

"Burn Burman here," he said into the receiver, "and there had BETTER be a good reason for interrupting my beauty sleep!"

"Burn," said the voice on the other end, "it's me…Kim!"

"Kim? Kim who?" he asked.

Kim let out an exasperated sigh, rolled her eyes, and groaned, "How many Kim's do you know that will call you at home in the middle of the night?"

Sitting bolt upright, Burn said "Kim…Kim where are you? Are you all right? Sheri called me the other day, very upset at you. She demanded a jet to go after you. Why did you steal her jet? When are you going to Yamanouchi? Do you have enough money? Kim, why aren't you saying anything?"

Kim started giggling and responded, "I can't say anything until you shut up and let me talk!"

"Oh…sorry Kim!" Burn apologized and then added, "Seriously, we do need to talk!"

"Okay, Burn," Kim started to explain, "but first thing's first. Right now, I need you to call the Tokyo office and have them, send a transport detail, along with a legal team, to the city of Nago on Okinawa—ASAP."

"Why Kim, what did you do?" Burn questioned starting to get the feeling that she was in trouble or was about to be in trouble.

"Oh, nothing much, really." Kim responded with a slight giggle in her voice. "I just broke up a local mafia that was running a protection racket, among other things."

"Was anyone hurt?" he demanded

Kim replied with a sigh, "Of course. They always have to resist. You know that! The worst part is he had half of the police department in his back pocket—and they're not taking it very well that I came in and cleaned up their town for them."

"Okay…I'll call Tokyo and have someone there in a couple of hours. Is there anything else you need?" he inquired.

Kim replied, "No—Wait…Yes, there is one other thing. Have 'Legal' bring me my Global Justice ID badge and a set of uniforms."

'Yes' Burn screamed in thought. He pumped his fist and jumped for joy quickly before he regained his composure and asked, "Changed your mind about quitting, did you?"

"Well," she confessed, "maybe Idid kind of over-react and didn't think things through."

Burn could longer hold in his joy over Kim's change of heart. "Thank God," he yelled, "because I never turned in your resignation, and you're still on the books. In fact, you and team Renton are listed as 'on assignment' at Yamanouchi until further notice.

"I was really hoping you'd change your mind—because I already sent your ID badge, uniforms, and Kimmunicator to the Tokyo office, with instructions to get them to Yamanouchi when you got there."

With a softer voice than before, Burn wondered, "Now, I need to know…Are you all right? And please tell me why on God's green earth did you steal Sheri's jet instead of just talking to her?"

"Sorry to worry you, Burn." Kim apologized. "I was in a little bit of a funk, but I'm fine now. I didn't even get a scratch in the fight.

"As to why I took her jet, I'm not really sure. I just didn't want to have a discussion with her on her turf. This time when we talk, it will be on my terms; and she will answer all of my questions…or there will be HELL to pay!"

Hattori Hanzo woke up the next morning, feeling a little out of sorts. He tried to recall every detail of what took place the day before, but it all seemed like a dream.

Did he really touch the magic sword of Yamanouchi? Did he really watch as the beautiful young woman first beat up on the four goons in his bar and then later take Takauji into custody?

He walked into his work shop and froze. Laying on his work bench were the sketches, measurements, and the wax molds he had made of the sword. He came to the startling realization that it really did happen!

Without thinking about anything else, he set to work making the sword for Kim. He already knew that this sword would take much longer to make than usual. Not only would he pour his sweat and blood into its creation, but this would also be a labor of love.

Love. He never used that element in creating a blade before. This sword was going to be made for all of the right reasons. This sword was going to be a sword of justice!

After Kim gave her deposition to 'Legal' and filed formal charges against Takauji, she returned to Hattori Hanzo's bar. She wanted to check on his progress and make arrangements so he could contact her when the sword was ready.

Walking into the place was nothing like it was the other day. The room was so crowded; she couldn't even see the bar. There was music playing and sake flowing. From one end to the other, it was filled with the sounds of everyone enjoying themselves.

As she stood at the door, she heard someone yelling, "QUIET everyone! There she is."

At that moment, the whole bar went dead still. Everyone turned to face her and backed out of her way, giving her a clear path to walk to the bar. Hattori stood there with his arms spread out for her to come to him.

Kim stayed too late and drank too much sake to fly to Tokyo that night as planned, so she returned to her hotel room to sleep it off.

While Kim was lying in her slightly inebriated state on the bed, a wicked thought occurred to her. She decided it was time for a little payback for a certain tow-headed man. Sitting up on the bed in the 'lotus' position, she closed her eyes and concentrated on Jessica.

Jessica was sound asleep when she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder and someone whispering her name in her ear. Rolling over, she opened her eyes and saw Kim kneeling next to her. Before Jessica could make a sound, Kim placed her hand over Jessica's mouth and put her finger to her lips.

She then whispered, "You said you wanted to watch. It's time!"

Kim proceeded to produce a large peacock feather out of thin air. With a diabolical smile, she crept over to Ron's side of the sleeping mat.

Jessica sat up so she could watch the fun. She had a hard time suppressing a giggle as Kim took the feather and lightly brushed it against Ron's cheek and right ear lobe.

To their surprise, Ron didn't respond at all. Kim escalated the torture as she stuck the tip of the feather into Ron's ear. Without waking up, he just swatted at the feather. He then rolled over on his right side so that he was now facing Jessica.

Kim kept it at it for a few more seconds before she concluded that tickling was not going to work. That's when she decided to try a different tactic.

While Ron was facing Jessica, Kim slipped between the bed sheets behind him. She then caressed his ear as she kissed and blew on it. Jessica let out a snicker, but quickly clamped her hand over her face and managed not to spoil the prank. Ron just swatted at whatever was pestering him while continuing to slumber.

"Oh Ronnie," Kim whispered, "Please wake up. I want you—badly!"

Ron rolled away from his wife and mumbled, "Go to sleep, Jessica." before he pulled the sheets over his head.

Kim then whispered to Jessica, "It's your turn. Tell him you need his body."

Jessica laid back down and gently pulled the sheet off his head. She then kissed his ear and whispered, "Come on, sweetheart. Give me some loving. We haven't made love since we got here. Pweeease??"

Even with this attempt at stimulation, Ron merely rolled over, facing Jessica again as he slept.

Kim blew on the back of his neck. This time, she nibbled on his ear lobe and whispered a little louder, "Come on, Wonnie! Give your Kimmie some Ron-shine; it's been years since I've had any!"

Ron's eyes snapped open, only to be staring into his wife's cobalt blue eyes. The smile on her face was a mile wide. At that moment, Kim blew into his ear and whispered again.

"Come on, baby." she cooed. "I want some Ron-shine…and I want it now!"

Ron jumped high enough to hit his head on the ceiling tiles. He nearly knocked a few of those tiles loose before he landed just over eight feet from the foot of the bed.

With a dazed and confused look on his face, Ron stared at two of the most important women in his life lying in the same bed—and he did not like what he saw! They appeared to be having a very good time at his expense. After a few seconds, his mind cleared enough to finally allow him to speak.

"Okay," he demanded, "just what the hell is going on?"

Jessica purred, "What does it look like, sweetheart? Kim and I thought we'd help you fulfill every man's fantasy. We decided that, just this once, you could have both of us at the same time." She patted the mat and offered, "Well…What do you say, baby? Do you want to join us?"

'I was born at night,' Ron thought, 'but it wasn't last night. I'm not sure what it is just yet, but I know they're up to something! Still, I better play along for now. It's better than getting them mad, on top of everything else.'

Putting on his best 'playa's' face, he started to untie the string holding up his PJ bottoms and walk slowly toward the bed.

Kim had rolled over on her side, but kept the covers over her shoulders. She started playing with Jessica's silky golden hair, twirling it between her fingers. She then bit her lower lip and made a particular facial expression. Ron remembered that face well enough to tell that she wanted him…and she was ready for him. When he caught that look, he froze in his tracks.

"Oh no, you don't!" Ron protested. "I know both of you too well to fall for that! Besides, neither one of you like to share ANYTHING, let alone me. Now I want to know…Just what the hell is going on here?"

"Ok, Ronald." Jessica griped. "You want the truth? I'll tell the truth! This is payback for the other day!

Ron's look of utter confusion was very evident on his face as Kim stood up very slowly.

"Ron," Kim explained, "do you remember a couple of days ago when Jessica tried to get you to wake up and help her look for the Lotus Bloom? Well, you brushed her off. Besides leaving me, that was the worst mistake you have ever made!"

Ron started to slowly back away from the bed. He kept his eyes focused on Kim as Jessica stood up and joined her in giving him disgusted glares. He knew he was out-numbered. With Kim in particular, he was clearly out-gunned.

He sputtered, "Now, ladies…c-can't we talk about this? I was exhausted that night. Sensei's training beat the living crap out of me—and you know it, Jessica!"

Kim turned to Jessica and asked, "Remember what I taught you the other day? It's about time we showed Ronnie here not to take you lightly anymore!

Ron's eyes grew huge as he watched Kim and Jessica produce two sparkling blue energy balls. Jessica's orb was the size of a baseball, while Kim's creation grew to the dimensions of a dodge-ball—that is, a hot, hard and painful-looking dodge-ball. Ron did the only thing a man in his position could do…he dropped to his knees and started pleading for his life.

"Please," he begged, "don't hurt me! I-I-I didn't mean anything by it. Please have mercy on me!"

With a titanium-melting glare, Kim warned, "If you EVER ignore your wife again when she tells you something is wrong, so help me God, we will stuff both of these energy balls down you pants! If that happens, those will be the last balls you'll ever have in your pants! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"

The look of fear in Ron's eyes as he nodded caused Kim to think she may have stepped over the line. She made her ball disappear and slowly knelt beside Ron. She then took his face in her hands and kissed his cheek.

Kim sighed, "The other day when Yori and Jessica showed up without you, I realized just how bad I hurt you when we broke up. Your pain must have been really bad for you not to care enough to wake up and come to me when you had to know I was hurting! And that made my pain that much worse…

"Ron, I am so sorry that I caused you so much pain. I promise that I will make it up to you if it is the last thing I do—and I'm going to start tomorrow by teaching Jessica everything I know about this sword…

"I will give my life to save you and your family. All I ask is that you give me a chance to prove it to you!"

Kim helped Ron to his feet and gave him a gentle embrace. She turned toward Jessica and motioned her in for a group hug.

Jessica, almost in tears, stepped up to her friends. She wrapped her arms around Ron and held him tightly.

Just as she started to give Ron a kiss, he let out a howl of pain and jumped out their embrace. While watching Kim's apology, Jessica forgot all about the energy ball still in her hand—until it seared into Ron's back as she held him.

Kim couldn't stop herself from laughing at his expense. While Jessica continued to chase Ron and attempt to apologize to him, Kim left the couple and ended her trance.

Kim awoke at noon the next day. After a shower and a quick lunch, she headed to the airport. It was time to do what she knew she had to do. She had to surrender the Lotus Bloom to its rightful owner. After that, she had to teach Jessica all she knew about it in order for her friend and Ron to at least have a fighting chance against whatever evil lurked out there.

There was just one problem with this sitch. Every time Kim thought about giving up her Lotus Bloom, she felt her heart break and a lump in the pit of her stomach. It was the same feeling she had that time when woke up in the hospital and Ron was not there. It was the same feeling she had the day Will died.

The feeling got stronger every time she felt it…this feeling of heartache…of lost loves…of impending doom…

…It was a feeling she had come to hate with every fiber of her being…

Authors Note: I feel that it's only right to warn you that the next few chapters might be as hard to read as they were to write. I know that some of you think that Kim's life in this story is nothing but hard knocks and sad times. But nothing can be farther from the truth, so please just hang in there and I promise there is light at the end of this very long tunnel, and it is not a speeding train.

Oh yea, please don't forget the reviews!
