A/N: Wow, I really getting into this story now. I'm absolutely amazed at the response I'm getting from this, Thank you all so much for all the encouragement! I hope this chapter doesn't disappoint you all.

Oh, and because I have to say it, I don't own KP :'(

Responses:

ron-sama – Yes, I think I realized as I wrote this chapter, I'm much better with the fluff. I hope everyone can guess how this will all turn out for Kim, Ron and Yori, but if I outright said it, I think it would ruin the dramatic tension. Though here's a big hint: I learned everything I know about romance from Rumiko Takahashi mangas.

Campy – Damn strait! That's all I can say :P

MatthewC – I thank you most of all for your honest criticism, and you're absolutely right, something is off about Kim and Ron. Though I hope this chapter and the next will better show this dramatic tension that I think you're talking about, though the next one definitely will. I think I might have sacrificed a bit too much of that when I cut out a good 2-3 chapters of introduction that I wanted in favor of time, that I mentioned in my note previously.

Hyperlynx – Hey thanks for the encouragement, and don't worry, I have 2 weeks left, and 3-4 chapters to write. I know I can pull this one off!

The Metal One – Something along those lines, oh yes. And of course Ron caught in the middle. I think you'll be satisfied with it

Wanderer3 – lmfao, I think that's the smartest thing anyone could do at that point. Though my guess would be that even our friends in Middleton will feel the effects of this little battle. And I think we all know Ron's luck, he doesn't have a chance in hell for that to happen. (Although you can't blame a guy for trying X3 heaven knows I would be)

Zaratan – Thanks man! I had already planned on having that very question answered relatively soon in this chapter, I hope the answer is satisfactory.

Now! The story!

Ron stood in front of a large congregation of people, all of them seemed to be dressed up for an occasion, including himself who was in a nice pressed black tuxedo. Most of the group he recognized, his parents, Mr. And Mrs. Possible, the twins, Sensei many of the doctors and scientists that he'd helped Kim save, Bonnie, Monique, Felix and Brick all were in the crowd. Suddenly familiar music began to play from what seemed to be an organ; he couldn't see the organ, though he could swear that he had heard the music before.

All eyes in the crowd shifted to the back of the room, Ron couldn't help but wonder what everyone was looking at, and his eyes looked toward the end of a large gap in the crowd. Slowly walking down the aisle two female figures, wearing similar wedding dresses began advancing toward him. Realization suddenly dawned on him; he was at a wedding, his wedding. Crap.

One bride took his right side, she appeared to have short Raven colored hair, although her veil covered her features he could at least make a good guess as to who was behind the mask. "Y-Yori?" Ron whispered as the preacher began his speech.

The bride smiled at him through the veil, though she said nothing. The other bride gently nudged him in the ribs, implying that Ron shouldn't be speaking. Ron looked over at the other bride, whose features were equally hidden though she was a bit taller than the other girl, and had fiery red hair that Ron instantly recognized. "KP?" He spoke softly in an equally a surprised voice as before.

"Do you take this man, to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Before Ron realized it the preacher was getting to the end of his speech, both brides spoke at the same time, "I do."

The preacher apparently didn't care whether Ron did or didn't and just moved on to the next part. "And now, you may kiss the bride."

Ron was dumbfounded, was the heck was he supposed to do now? He couldn't marry both of them, could he? He was only 17; he had no business thinking about marriage yet. As a thousand questions ran through his head everyone began to stare in surprise at the grooms hesitation.

Both brides looked at the groom with anticipation, they both took steps toward him, which only caused Ron to step backwards. Yori began to speak to him, "Ron-san, it is your destiny, a bond of honor." She took another bold step towards him, which again caused him to step back.

Kim interjected. "Ron, I thought you said you loved me?" Kim also took steps toward Ron, again forcing him backwards until he was in the middle of the aisle, accusing eyes surrounding him.

"I-I… d.." Ron stuttered not able to get anything resembling a word from his mouth

Both girls loomed over him, glaring at him angrily as they both yelled in synch. "You have to choose Ron! I love you!"


With a start Ron rose in an unfamiliar bed within an unfamiliar room. The door opened up mere moments after Ron had awoken. Sensei stood in the doorway, the morning sun shining in from behind him, nearly blinding Ron. "Ah Stoppable-san, it is good you are awake. You must have been in great need of rest, you slept for nearly the entire previous day and through the morning."

Ron stood up groggily, still have asleep and a little startled from the dream. He stretched and yawned until he felt he was awake enough to start his day. "Uh, yeah, g'morning sensei. I haven't exactly been sleeping well recently; I guess I did need it. Cause right now I feel like I just got dropped out of a clichéd love story."

Sensei nodded solemnly, "that is good Stoppable-san. Now that you are awake, please come with me, we have much to discuss." Sensei walked out of Ron's room, Ron scooped up Rufus who was already wide-awake and immediately followed, he didn't have a need to change as he was still wearing the clothes he wore yesterday before he fainted.

Realization hit Ron again as he recalled what had caused him to faint in the first place. "Oh man!" Ron ran to catch up with sensei as he walked out of one of the dorms Ron had been sleeping in. "Sensei, a-about yesterday. That was all part of the freaky dream I just had? Wasn't it? Please tell me it was all a dream!"

Sensei simply shook his head. "No Stoppable-san, it was not a dream. And I had promised to explain everything to Miss Possible and to Yori as soon as you awoken. Now come, they are waiting for us in my meditation chambers."

Ron and sensei arrived at the large yet simple building that stood at the center of the Yamanuchi School, Yori and Kim were sitting at opposite ends of the table eating the simple breakfast that had been set in front of them. Ron was silently thankful that Yori was in her normal black ninja outfit, that Japanese style wedding dress really freaked him out yesterday.

Kim and Yori both smiled when he walked into the room, though Kim's turned back into a frown as she remembered why they were there in the first place. Kim cleared her throat and stood up so she could speak. "I'm sorry to be blunt Master Sensei, but I would really like to know why you summoned us here?"

Yori interrupted and stood up as well, as if to challenge the redhead. "I believe sensei only summoned Ron-san here, I can see no reason why you need be here." Sensei cast an angry glance at Yori who immediately caught it. She shut her mouth and bowed deeply in apology to sensei.

Ron choose that moment to ask a question that was bugging him, "Well, sensei, if you didn't want me to bring Kim along, why'd you send me two plane tickets?"

Yori took that bit of news with obvious surprise, and cast her gaze back to sensei, eagerly awaiting his answer. Sensei waved his hand at the table, "please, all of you, have a seat, I will explain everything."

Both girls sat back down at opposite ends of the small rectangular shaped table, leaving Ron again confused as to what to do. He decided to take the easy way out and sat himself in the middle away from both girls. Though of course nothing is ever that easy, Yori took it upon herself to stand up so she could take a seat next to Ron, followed immediately by Kim taking the opposing side; All the while both girls shooting death glares at each other. Ron got a strong feeling of deja vu as sensei took his seat across from the three teens.

Everyone at the table began enjoying their food as sensei began to speak. "First to answer you're question Stoppable-san. The reason I sent two tickets was because given Miss Possible's personality if you had just left for Yamanuchi without giving reason, she most likely would have followed you." Sensei stroked his bread in thought. "Yes, in this situation it was best to keep things open and honest, lest she might take things personally and try to interfere with your destiny. This was the easiest way."

Kim nodded in appreciation of that answer, she knew that if Ron had mysteriously disappeared for no apparent reason she'd definitely stop at nothing to find him, heck she'd done it before, and would gladly do it a hundred more times for Ron. "Ok, so that explains what I'm doing here, but what about Ron? What do you want with him?"

Sensei drew in a deep breath, as if he had practiced this speech a hundred times and was just beginning another rehearsal. "That story is set back thousands of years ago, back when our founder, Toshimeru carved this temple from the mountain using the Lotus Blade. You see, Yori, is a direct descendant of Toshimeru." Yori smiled proudly, as if Sensei was congratulating her for some great accomplishment, rather than stating a simple fact about her lineage.

Sensei frowned at his student's slight show of pride, but decided to continue with his story. "Toshimeru was also a great prophet, and he foretold many of the glories and hardships that our temple has faced over the centuries. These prophecies are passed down from generation to generation of Toshimeru's ancestors. When I am gone, it shall be my granddaughters charge to care for the sacred scrolls." Sensei nods to Yori, to get his point of their relationship across. Sensei pulls a scroll out from under his robes, and unfolds it. He begins reading the parchment to everyone. "The prophecy that concerns us today is written here. 'When the four monkeys of Jade vanish from the earth, there shall be three whom control the power. One shall master the Lotus Blade and all it's secrets, another shall be companion to the first until they take leave of this world, the final shall plot the destruction of the others towards his own selfish goals. One of the holders of the power shall unwittingly release a great demon unto the world. The true master must be bonded with purest, strongest and noblest woman in the temple to stop the demon, but should they fail, it will be impossible to stop darkness from covering the earth.'"

Sensei paused for just a moment to carefully fold up the parchment and put it away before he continued. "And Ron Stoppable is the true master of the mystical monkey power, and wielder of the Lotus blade. Because the four jade monkeys that gave Stoppable-san these powers were destroyed, that means he is the last person on earth who will ever be able to inherit the mystical monkey powers, and fulfill the prophesy."

Kim's face looked absolutely devastated, the prophecy no doubt spoke of Ron, Rufus and Monkey Fist, there was no way she was going to be able to convince them to let Ron go, especially if they put so much faith in their predictions. Though suddenly an idea struck her, she'd have to pull off some trickery, but it would be worth it if it meant getting Ron out of this situation. "Ok, so I understand that Ron is this chosen one that your prophecy speaks of, but what about Yori?" Kim points angrily at Yori. "I haven't seen her being very pure or noble since I've met her, and even if she was I could easily beat her in the strength department."

Yori laughed out loud at Kim comment. "Hahahaha, Possible-chan, you also are comedic with the American style jokes. Even if you honestly believed that you could defeat me, you are not a student at this school, and thusly you could not aid Ron-san in the upcoming battle."

Kim's face went red with anger, she slammed her palms on the table and stood up, Ron looked shocked and his eyes darted to each of the females to his sides, unable to choose which side he should take. Kim bowed low, swallowing her pride, a practically begging tone in her voice. "Oh please great master Sensei, I would humbly ask the chance to study here at Yamanuchi and to earn a chance to fight with Ron."

Yori crossed her arms and scoffed at the absurd request, surely Sensei would never… "Yamanuchi would be more than happy to allow you the opportunity to study here"

"What!" It was now Yori's turn to get red faced and stand up angrily. "Master Sensei! You must be joking! W-we cannot allow this outsider to stand in the way of Ron-san's destiny!"

"Yori!" Sensei spoke swiftly, anger present in his tone. "You know the rules of Yamanuchi, anyone qualified and willing to learn the teachings of the school is welcome with open arms."

Yori breathed deeply, quelling the anger from her system, she knew Sensei was right, and there was nothing she could do except continue to prove that she was the best choice for Ron-san. She bowed quickly, not so much respectfully, in Kim's direction; "I welcome you to Yamanuchi, fellow student."

Kim returned the bow with a smirk crossing her lips, ready to one up her in manners. "I thank you, sempai."

Ron could feel the sparks coming off the two girls, he would swear he felt a tingling sensation, but Ron just shrugged it off as eating those breakfast egg rolls too quickly. Rufus on the other hand saw the entire scene; he gave a soft cry and dove deep into Ron's pocket, trying to avoid the danger. Ron also finally got up and bowed to sensei, a request of his own in mind. "Sensei, I would also like to study under you. I'd be grateful if you'd allow me to train with the Lotus Blade and become stronger."

Sensei regarded the boy for a moment, both Kim and Yori looked upon Ron with wide eyes, wondering why he also made such a request. Yori hoped that Ron really had taken the prophecy seriously, but Kim had he own suspicions that might give her a clue as to why Ron had been acting so weird coming here.

"You wish to become stronger, so that you can protect Miss Possible on these missions you go on, and you hope that the Lotus Blade will help you accomplish that task. Am I correct?" Ron stood almost dumbfounded that sensei could read his mind like that, nodding slowly to answer the question. Kim put her hand on Ron's shoulder, she still didn't understand why protecting her was such a big deal to him, she could easily take care of herself. "Stoppable-san, as I said before you have the ability and the desire, so I cannot reject you. But, if the prophecy is coming true, I do not believe you need to worry about Miss Possible's safety."

There was one final issue Ron needed to address before his mind would be put at ease. "Yeah, about that prophecy thing. I don't need to get married, like immediately? Do I?"

A hint of fear was in Ron's voice that Yori certainly didn't miss. "Y-you do not wish to become my husband Ron-san?" Yori's eye's shone, tears about to burst from her eyes, though her warrior spirit wouldn't allow her to cry, especially in front of her new rival. Kim though couldn't help but smile when she saw Yori was about to lose it.

Ron, turned to Yori and saw how he had really hurt the poor girl, he certainly didn't want to do anything that would upset her. He did the best he could without giving her or Kim reason to kill him. "oh, umm… no, I didn't mean it like that, exactly. I mean who wouldn't want to be married to a bon diggity babe like you?" That comment earned him a heartfelt smile from Yori and an agitated elbow to the ribs from Kim. "Ow! It's just that… me, I mean.."

Sensei cut Ron off before the two girls put the chosen on in intensive care. "Well, since we have received no ill omens about any great evil, I think we are content to allow this bond to remain an engagement for the time being." All three of the teens seemed to perk up at that news, each for their own private reasons. "But for the moment you students have already missed you early morning exercises, all of you proceed to the Dragon course!"

"Hai Sensei!" All three quipped in unison as they all ran outside to begin there first day of training. Rufus on the other hand decided to stay and eat any of the breakfast that the three had not finished off. But before he could dig in Rufus noticed a flurry of movement coming from one of the windows of the shire. Rufus looked but nothing was there. He scampered up to the ledge to investigate further when from the corner of his eye a small black person jumped from an empty part of the school over the wall and into the dense surrounding forest. Rufus rubbed his eyes and continued to gaze in that direction hoping he was wrong, he didn't want to believe it, but he saw it, a tail coming out of the ninja uniform. This of course could only mean one thing… "Monkey"

Rufus glared angrily into the distance, until the aroma of the breakfast caught his nose again. He could tell Ron about the monkey later, after his stomach was full. Rufus dove back down to the table and devoured everything in sight until with a belch and an enlarged tummy he fell asleep on the table.

A/N: All right, one more chapter down. I took a day longer than I wanted on this, hell it's even a bit shorter than my previous ones. Sorry about that. Coming up with the exact way to word the prophecy without creating huge plot holes was a real pain. I'm really, really hoping to have the next chapter done by Thursday or Friday, barring life getting in the way, I hope to see you all then. Keep those reviews coming! And thanks to anyone whoread it :)
