AN: Sorry that it has taken me so long to update, but my computer went down. When we got a new one, it didn't have a 3.5 inch disk drive. Instead we got a CD RW drive. Then I was hit with writer's block, when I figured out how to work that. When I got through that, I had to print up the story so I could figure out how I was going to write this chapter.

The Fourth Charmed One

CHAPTER 6B

Kim's View and An Attack

Kim watched all three of their reactions to her. Tommy was in shock. Billy was trying to find out the logical answer to it. Jason looked as though he was going to be sick. It was obvious that he couldn't grasp the fact that she was standing in front of him. Kim knew that they would be shocked, but their reactions were a little bit more severe than she thought they would be. Tommy was lucky he was sitting down, because he would probably have collapsed on the floor by now. Billy was going through everything he had been taught for the last 25 years. Nothing was adding up for him. Jason had become paler by the minute. Kim was sure that if anyone was going to pass out it would be Jason. Tommy may have lasted longer as a Power Ranger, but Jason was always the strongest of the bunch until now.

As much as Kim wanted to talk to Jason alone, she knew that this wouldn't be a good time. Jason wouldn't take to kindly to her just showing up and wanting to pick up where they left off. She knew that she would have to say something to them, but what was she going to say to them; "Hey guys. Long time no see." Yeah like that would go over well. Kim would have to take this slow and easy. She just didn't know how to tell them everything that had happened to her in the last 5 years. Getting shot was the easy part of the story. Explaining that she really did die was going to be the hard part. It's not like she could say, "I died, but I'm not exactly dead". Kim needed to do something and quick. All three of them looked like they were ready to pass out.

"You three might want to breath." The minute the words were out of her mouth, the three of them took a breath.

"It's a dream. It's not possible. Kim's dead. I'm dreaming." Jason was whispering so everyone almost missed what he had said. Kim turned to look at Leo and Sam. Clicking to them, she told them to take everyone but Jason to another room. Leo and Sam began to get everyone up and going. They went into the kitchen, and Kim walked over to Jason.

"Jason," Kim whispered.

"It's a dream. It's got to be a dream."

"It's not a dream Jason. I'm right here." Kim touched Jason's face. Jason looked at Kim before sliding to the floor. Kim kneeled in front of him. What scared her the most was the tears falling down Jason's cheeks.

"You can't be real. You died. True your body disappeared. I was hoping you were alive, but the police said that it was a fatal gun shot wound. So you can't be real."

"Jason look at me. I'm as real as you are. I was made a Whitelighter, because I wasn't supposed to die 5 years ago. I was supposed to do something, but I haven't been told what. All I know is that it has to involve you as well, or else I would never have been assigned to you."

"No, no more destiny crap. I can't take it anymore. You were my destiny, and you left me. I don't want anyone telling me what to do anymore. First Zordon and now these damn Elders. I've had enough. I'm tired of all of this."

"I know, and I'm sorry. I didn't want to leave you Jason, but I wasn't given a choice. I could either become a Whitelighter or I could go to heaven. I became a Whitelighter, so I could watch over you. I made sure my body disappear so that if any of you saw me, you wouldn't worry about me. I never wanted to leave you."

Kim and Jason were both in tears by the time that Kim had finished. Kim held Jason against her while she had been speaking. She knew that the only way that Jason would believe her was to actually feel her touching him. Jason's arms had automatically wrapped around her. They were still like that when everyone return to the living room.

Tommy and Billy smiled when they saw their two friends. They knew that Kim and Jason had been given a second chance. Everyone in the room knew that they had been given a second chance, but only Leo and Sam knew why. Leo wished that he could tell everyone the truth, but it was a secret that he couldn't tell anyone for now. Sam was just happy that his son was finally happy. It had hurt him to see both Kim and Jason hurting, but it wasn't up to him to bring them together. Everything was almost perfect until the Darklighter decided to show up.

"So you finally decided to show your face. My leader will be thrilled to see you again."

"Tell your leader that it will take more than you to get me." Kim said as she let go of Jason.

"I've got a better idea instead of you telling your leader anything, let's see how you liked fried." Jason raised his hand and lightning shot out and hit the Darklighter. As the Darklighter was shaking off the lightning, fire shot at him and he burst into flames and then into a black cloud of dust.

"Nobody touches her ever."

Everyone looked at Jason. The look on his face was enough to scare everyone except Tommy, Billy, and Kim. They had seen that look when they had been Power Rangers. Whenever someone had threatened Kim, Jason would et that look. It seemed to be all the time to Kim. Kim grabbed Jason's arm. When she still couldn't get his attention, she took his face and turned it toward her.

"Jason, you need to calm down." Jason's face returned to normal. He smiled when Kim smiled at him. Everyone relaxed. Tommy and Billy looked at their friends. Billy suddenly thought of something.

"Hey Kim?"

"Yeah Billy."

"Whey do the Darklighters want you?"

"I have no clue. The Elders wouldn't tell me. All I know is that for the last two weeks, I've been up with the Elders for my protection. I would hear them whispering, but whenever I got to close they would stop talking."

"What about the two of you? You wouldn't happen to know what's going on, would you?" Sam and Leo looked at each other. Sam shrugged at Leo.

"All we know is that the one in charge of the Darklighters wants Kim for some reason that nobody up there knows," Leo said.

"Okay enough of this. Everyone knows they want me, but I refuse to be taken without a fight."

"They'll have to go through me first. If I wouldn't let Zedd or Goldar get her, than I sure as hell won't let some cowardly Darklighter get her." Jason grabbed Kim's hand and began dragging her to the door. Everyone tried to get him to stop, but he wasn't going to stop until he got home.

Kim smiled and orbed them to his home before they reached the front door of Halliwell Manor. Kim knew that Jason wanted to talk to her alone. Tommy and Billy would keep the others from leaving the manor. Kim knew that this talk was going to happen, but Kim also knew that she would end up crying when she finally got everything out in the open. Kim only hoped that nobody interrupted them until she was finished explaining everything.
