DISCLAIMER: I, alas own not Kim Possible. This is not an exercise of profit but one of appreciation for the show.
"So, I guess now we wait," said Kim looking at the others in her room. "Ron? Could you stop pacing? Please? It is making me nervous."
"Yes Ron-san, and you are using up your energy for nothing," commented Yori.
Looking more frustrated and pent up than Kim can remember he sits down and starts to fidget. Glancing around the room he notices Hirotaka. "So, Hirotaka would you like to do some sparring?"
Kim's mouth drops in awe and fear for her friend. Hirotaka had handled Brikk without breaking a sweat. Ron was done for and Kim knew it. "Umm Ron, I don't think that is such a good idea."
Yori smiled a very disconcerting smile for Kim to see. She had seen it before. In the mirror, when she thought about Josh. "It pleases me to see you are taking more of interest in your educations Ron-chan."
Ron beamed at Yori's words. Kim frowned to see his reaction to the newcomer's comments. "Please don't encourage him. He will get hurt."
"I know what Ron-chan is capable of in a fight. Plus this will give me a chance to talk to you about the other reason I was sent."
"Sooo… what do you want to talk about."
"Possible-san the Mount Yamanouchi Academy would like to offer you a short term transfer to help with your martial skills. This is so that you will have the skills to aid the Chosen One when the time comes. He has declined our requests to relocate permanently to the academy, and this is seen by the elders to be the next best thing."
"Chosen One? Who, you mean Ron?"
"Yes Possible-San. He is the Chosen, for the Lotus Blade has chosen him as its master. He has been acknowledged as the Chosen One. It is his destiny to lead the school. Yet he chooses not to fulfill it for some reason," Yori looked at Kim with unforgiving eyes. "He is very devoted to you. He is giving up a great position to stay with you. We just want to make sure that he is able to fulfill his destiny."
Yori sighed, "Will you please come to the academy? If you say yes there are many more things that can be revealed to you. You will also find that the skills taught to you are different from any you have ever learned."
Kim looked at the Japanese girls face and could feel the emotion. It made her uncomfortable. She didn't know why. This place wanted Ron, but to get them they were offering her something. Her brain could not quite work its way around that. 'Someone wants Ron, but they say I can tag along?' Kim tries to shake the confusion away.
"So, what are some of the things YOU can teach ME?"
"Possible-San, perhaps how to do," Yori smiled and then disappeared and then reappeared behind Kim, whispering into her ear, "this."
"So Hirotaka are you ready?"
"Yes Stoppable-San."
The two stood stark still. The breeze blew their hair. All of a sudden Hirotaka attacked. Ron started to block the series of strikes. In the midst of them Ron's open palm struck out and hit Hirotaka strait on the breast bone. Using Hirotaka's surprise Ron recovered the distance between the two.
Ron smiled at his opponent. Hirotaka started another offensive flurry. Ron maintaining his smile dodged and kept dodging. His smile not going away as he worked Hirotaka into position and performed a spin and back kicked Hirotaka into the oak tree that held the tire swing that he and Kim had spent many a summer on.
'This has got to stop,' chided Hirotaka's inner-voice.
"So tell me about yourself Stoppable-San. Yori-kun talks about you non-stop but when Kim and I went on a date she never mentioned you once."
"What did you say?"
"Yes, Kim spent the whole night trying to seduce me and mentioned you not once. While Yori on the other hand can't stop talking about you, except when she is 'occupied'"
Kim and Yori and gone to the window to watch the two spar in enough time to see Ron scream. After the scream Ron forced his arms forward and Hirotaka slammed into the tree again. His leather jacket and shirt shredded and his chest red. Kim opened the window and dropped down using a light touch of the trellis and her gymnastic skills to land safely. Yori dropped just after Kim and landed next to her. Both girls ran for the prone figure. As they got there Hirotaka started to stir and get up.
Yori stopped at Ron seeing Hirotaka rise. "Ron-chan… was that the Cyclone Strike? Please tell me," implored Yori.
"Hirotaka, are you okay?"
"I am fine Kim," answered the disheveled teen. "There is something that I need to do."
"Yes, Yori, it was. Don't ask me how I did it. I just wanted to strike and the knowledge was there."
Yori took a step towards him and put out her had to touch him, but stopped short. Hirotaka approached and dropped to the ground and kowtowed to Ron.
"Please, Master, I apologize for incurring your wrath. Please forgive me."
"Get up dude, it is okay. You were just trying to hit my buttons to through me off. That was what my smile was for. It seems that I can learn something from you on that front."
Kim was slack jawed. "What buttons could let you do THAT? You were six feet away from him and he flew about that distance to the tree. RON, that was a LEATHER jacket that was shredded and you didn't even touch him. That was Shego level stuff." Kim paused and looked imploringly to Ron, "What is going on?"
"Possible-San, do you accept the offer? If you do then a lot of things can be said," urged Yori.
"Yes, I do. Can we work out a time or are we off now?"
"A convenient time will be scheduled and made to look like an exchange like with Ron-chan."
Hirotaka stepped forward and said, "I think it might be best if we go inside."
"Uh yeah, umm about the jacket, I am sorry. I have an uncle that owns a store. I could get you a nice discount on a new one. I, err, have some money set back I could chip in."
"No, it is quite alright. I have others. I will take this as a lesson."
"Okay, we are inside and I am going to the 'Academy', so WHAT THE HECK is going on?"
Later up in Kim's room with hushed voices since her parents and the tweebs were home, "Let me get this strait. The academy is a secret ninja school specializing in Monkey Kung Fu. Since Ron got hit by the 'Mystical Monkey Power' he was arranged to go so they could test him." Kim looked at the four in the room. After they had nodded she continued, "During that week Monkey Fist attacked to get a magic sword, which is now here, but Ron fought him and a traitorous student to stop them. And since the sword chose him he is now the Chosen One. That being the case Ron is expected to take the Monkey Master Mantle and lead the school as well as the monkey ninjas."
Yori nodded enthusiastically. "Yes Kim-San, I knew you would understand all of it once we told you."
"I get it, but I just don't understand it."
"Kim-San, your friend could very likely be the most powerful martial artist of this generation. With training and experience. But right now he is not focused. That is why we want him to come back to the academy. Since we understand that he will probably not be able or want to stay for various reasons, the next best thing is to train the best martial artist near him to drill him and push him whenever there is a chance," Hirotaka smiled and lifted Kim's chin.
Kim almost melted from looking at him, but then she remembered Bonnie at the airport last time. 'Get a grip on yourself.' "Okay I am starting to see what is going on. But why bring the blade?"
"Sensei said that it was time for the Chosen One to awaken. I think that Hirotaka has found that it is true that he has awakened at least partly."
