Chapter 3: Destiny
Kim, Ron, and Yori had a small but meaningful funeral for Sensai. They buried him behind the meditating room where he had spent so much time, and each delivered a memorial speech about their times with the wise man who taught them so much. When they had finished, they were silent for a while, hurting deep in their hearts.
Surprisingly, the fisrt to speak was Yori.
"Come, friends." She whispered, wiping away her tears. "We must do what Sensai asked of us."
Ron nodded, and Kim put a comforting hand on his shoulder. He lifted his head, and looked at her gratefully. Yori stiffened slightly, but continued on.
"I will do everything in my power to aid you and Possible chan, Stoppable San." She said firmly. "Just contact me at the school if you need anything."
"But Yori..." Kim said, gesturing towards the ruined school. "I mean no offence by saying this, but the school is... Well, it's trashed."
To her surprise, Yori smiled. "As Stoppable San knows, we have many graduates from the school that will aid us in repairs."
Ron nodded again, and spoke. "I wish we could stay longer, Yori, but you heard Sensai as well as I did. If the legend is true, then we must hurry."
"I agree, Stopp- Ron San." Yori replied softly. "And even in this dark time, it has been nice seeing you and Kim chan again." She started to bow, but Ron stopped her.
"Yori, I don't give a hoot about honour anymore. It's time you learned, American style." He finished, and wrapped her up in a hug. Yori, who had never hugged someone before, was completely surprised by her friends actions, but returned the gesture as best as she could. When they broke, Yori was smiling.
"Thank you for your kindness, Kimberly and Ronald. It comforts me very much."
Kim smiled. "We're your friend, Yori. That's what we do."
Yori nodded, grateful she had Kim and Ron as her... Friends.
A half hour later, once Kim and Ron were back down the mountain safely, they called Wade.
"Wade, I need you to search up 'Lotus,' for me on the internet."
"Why?" Came the curious voice of their thirteen year old friend.
"No special reason."
Wade did as he was told, and after a few moments of searching, found what Kim and Ron were looking for by accident.
"It says here that the Lotus were a Tribe of Natives that died out a long time ago..." Wade scanned the computor screen with his eyes. "It also says that there were four Holy shrines all around the land of which they lived in., where they prayed to the Gods and stuff like that-"
Ron cut him off. "Four Holy shrines?" Ron asked him. "It never mentioned those in the Legend!"
"What Legend?"
"Never mind." Kim answered. "If the land of the Lotus were still here, where would it be on the Earth right now?"
"Well, besides some minor changes due to Continental drift, there land would be somewhere around... Japan." The teenage genius responded, calculating some information on the computor.
"Okay, when you search up the Holy shrines, does it mention anything about a Blade?"
"Yeah, it also mentions the words, 'Mace, Staff, and Claws. Why?"
Kim ignored the question. "Right now, where would the shrine that mentions 'Blade' be?"
"One second... Wade looked at the screen, and then back at them, with a surprised look on his face. "The shrine would be on your exact location!"
"Wow, you're good." Ron marvled at her.
Kim smiled. "I do what I can." She turned back to the Kimmunicator screen. "One more thing, Wade. I need you to find the location of the shrine that mentions, 'Mace,' and give it to us."
The computor whiz did some typing, and a small peice of paper slid out of the bottem of the handheld device. Kim picked it up and looked at it.
"Niigata..." Kim tried to remember in her Geography class. "Isn't that place along the coast north of Toyko?"
"That's the place." Wade nodded. "Now, does anyone wanna tell me what the heck is going on?"
"All in time, Wade." She smiled. "Now, can we use the teleporter to get there?"
"Sorry." Wade shook his head. "It's not programmed to work in the western part of the world yet."
Ron looked amused. "Are you telling me, that the great Wade Load, the theirteen year old who aced High School and College in less than twelve months, who said he didn't have anything to do over the summer, didn't even work on our way of transportation?"
For some reason, Wade turned beat red. "Well, I have been doing some... Other things."
It was amazing how long it took Ron to figure this out.
"Ooooh!" Ron laughed when he finally realised what his teenage friend was saying. Then his face turned serious. "Dude, don't even remind me about that stage in life." Then he added an afterthought. "Although sometimes, I do have the urge to Mastu-"
"RON!" Kim and Wade both yelled at him.
"What?" Ron shrugged. "I'm just saying the truth. And anyway, Rufus is lucky. He never has those kind of feelings." He thought for a moment. "Or maybe he does-"
He cried out when he felt a sharp pain through his leg, and looked down to find an annoyed Rufus.
"Man, why do guys all have to be so negative about it!" Ron exclaimed. "It happens to every guy! Look at me, for example. I still have dreams about Kim, and they've gotten a lot more intense ever since Kim and I-"
"RON!" Kim cried, blushing bright red."
"Oh, yeah." Ron chuckled. "That part I guess I'll leave out."
An uncomfortable silence followed.
"Really makes a mess out of the sheets, though."
"ARGH!" Wade shouted in desgust, and signed off the Kimmunicator, as Kim dropped her face into her hands. Rufus just shook his head, and Ron smiled at the memory of that special night two months ago.

Eventually, they had contacted Wade again, and he sent them a favor in place of the teleporter. As Kim and Ron flew through air in the private jet of Nakasumi San, they were silent, thinking about what this mission had in store for them. Ron looked out the window, and after a while, Kim walked up and sat beside him.
"Hey." She whispered to him.
"Hey." He responded, not turning away from the window.
They were silent for a bit, and Kim spoke again.
"What's on your mind?"
Ron sighed, and looked at her. "Kim, we're rushing straight into this. The fate of the world could be in our hands, and we have no idea what to expect!" He sighed again. "And I couldn't forgive myself if you got hurt. I lost you once, and I'm not going to lose you again."
Kim smiled slightly. "Two things, Ron. One: You never lost me, if you did, then I wouldn't be here right now. And two: The fate of the world has been in our hands a lot of times."
Ron smiled back. "I know, but I just wish that there was something that would make this a bit easier."
Kim lowered her eyelids. "Well, there may be some things that might help us on the way."
Ron looked at her, confused. "What are you talking about?" He asked, but soon found out, as he felt his lips press against hers passionately. They stayed like that for what seemed like hours, and when they broke, Ron was feeling a lot happier.
"Well, that is definatly a spirit booster!" He exclaimed cheerfully, and his girlfriend giggled. Suddenly, a thought crossed Rons mind. "Hey, I just remembered something." He said out loud. "The Lotus Blade can only be used by a master of Mystical Monkey Power, and you don't have that! What if the other Lotus Weapons need to be used by someone with the Power as well?"
Kim shifted uneasily. "Well, that's the thing, Ron. I think I do have the Power. I think I got it from you."
Ron looked confused at first, but then his eyes widened. "You mean... When we, connected... I gave it to you?" He groaned in frustration. "Ah, man! It'd be just like Drew to give me a broken cond-"
"Ron, NO!" Kim shook her head furiously. "Not then!"
Ron sighed in releif. "So no babies?"
Kim turned red. "No babies."
"Okay, because your dad would kill me-"
"Anyway..." Kim cut him off. "Remember when we kissed, back in that cavern where Drakkens-"
"Drew."
"Drews, sorry, latest lair was?" Ron nodded in understanding. "Right, and remember when I backed up in surprise?"
Ron nodded again.
"Well, it wasn't really a bad feeling. I actually felt more powerful when you kissed me that night." She suddenly blushed. "And it even, um, helped push the stimulation I felt that night."
Ron understood this immeadiatly. "Man, Mystical Monkey Power rules!"
Kim rolled her eyes.
"But anyway, are you telling me that when you and I swapped spit, you inherited my power?" He asked her.
"Well, if you want to put it that way, then yes." Kim rolled her eyes again.
Ron took a moment to take this in, and then spoke again.
"So, I guess this was our destiny."
"Excuse me?" Kim asked him, confused.
"This must be, like our destiny." He repeated. "I guess you were always sopposed to have Mystical Monkey Power in the end."
Kim smiled. "Maybe, but there's no one I'd rather spend my destiny with than you."
Ron smiled back. "Same here."

Miss Kyoko got out of her seat beside Nakasumi San, going to check on the two passengers in the room behind her. She told her employer where she was going, and walked to the back of the Jet. She opened the door to the back room, and saw...
Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable embracing each other in a long, passionate kiss.
She quickly closed the door, smiling to herself. If there was one thing she loved, it was seeing teenagers growing up.
And those two...
Were definatly growing up.
Well, personally, I had a bit of fun writing this chapter. Anyway, R&R.
