Disclaimer: I don't own Kim Possible characters. I do this for fun and enjoyment. Remember when companies would continue successful series for that reason?

Author's Notes: Bill: I am taking a totally different view of Tara in this story. I have observed facts in evidence about what we see from her in the show. She shows attention to Ron only after he goes Rambo on Gill at Wannaweep. She is in other various episodes not put in anything but background. In return to Wannaweep she is shown but nothing is done with progressing the story line, though she is shown looking not to happy at the end with the customary bandages. I didn't see her in the throng following Hirotaka in Exchange. Next time she is featured prominently is in Emotion Sickness with Josh. Josh is pretty much set up as one of the hot, popular, cool guys in school. I took this and ran with a shallow personality for her.

Bonnie on the other hand is pretty much still the alpha-bitch at the school. The level of manipulation and control that she has over others on the show gives me the impression that she almost always has good reads on people. A deep insight for her is a given. What she does with it is open for interpretation. If Kim hadn't died and she could see a way to use Ron, she would. Right now she is of the opinion that using him would hurt her more in the long run so she doesn't.

I will leave the profile of Yori to later. One thing that must be remembered is that all people have personal agendas. Just think back to what is in evidence of the episodes that they appear in and when they started to pay attention to certain people outside of what they were told to.

"I hope I don't insult anyone, Ron-kun. This is the first time that I have been to an American party."

"Don't worry, Yori. It is the first time for me also. Truth to tell, it was always Kim that was invited. I usually wound up at home alone. I think Bonnie is just trying to be nice to me because of what alls gone on. I probably won't hang around long, just long enough to make sure you're okay."

"Ron-kun, I would like if you would stay."

"Yeah, 'Ron-kun'."

Ron looked towards his specter of a friend and glared at her. She could tell he was starting to get perturbed by her comments that he couldn't respond to. She stuck out her tongue and slowed her pace so she was behind them.

"Yori, the only reason I was on the squad was Kim and there were sometimes that I am sure that she wish I wasn't. Now that she isn't on it anymore, I don't know if I will stay on it."

"Then I will not try out for it." She snuggled up closer to his arm against the blowing wind that let them know that the rain wasn't far away. "I just would do it because you wanted me to."

"And I do want you to Yori. You have what it takes athletically. I don't know if I have what it takes to be mascot anymore. Also, I am thinking about taking Kim's place doing the hero stuff. I probably won't have time to be on the squad. I don't know how she balanced everything."

"Then I will help you with that."

"No, Yori. When I go out there, it is going to be alone. I don't know how Kim did it while worrying about me."

"Ron-kun, you don't have to worry about me. I am a trained nin. I passed the chunnin exams. I can protect myself."

"She is a ninja? Ron, you have some serious explaining to do."

Ron nodded to his disembodied friend. "Congrats on the passing of the exams. Guess it has been over a year since we met hasn't it?"

"Hai, Ron-kun, if you would like we can continue your training. I know that you have had other training besides what we taught you, but I doubt it will be of much help. Hiro-chan said that your Kim was an adequate fighter. With some training she might have been able to handle herself as a member of a five person team."

"Yori, do you believe in ghosts?"

"I believe in the spirits of our ancestors. We revere them so that they will helpus. But ghosts to haunt and walk around freely? No, Ron-kun, those are things of movies meant to scare children."

"You may be wrong there."

"You think you have seen your Kim since she has died. It is common. The human mind does many things to help cope with loss." Yori let go of his arm and stood in front of him. She placed her leather clad arms onto his shoulders and looked into his eyes. "I know you cared deeply for her, but when your heart finishes its grieving, or you get tired of it grieving, I would be most honored if you would think of taking me into your heart in any form." With saying that she stretched up and lightly kissed him on the lips and slowly moved away from him.

The glazed over look on his face broke instantly as Kim's face led her body through Yori's head. "RON!"

Ron took a back-step at the sight and sound from Kim's specter. "What did she mean by caring deeply? Answer me. ANSWER ME!"

"I love you, Kim." Ron said quietly as he dropped to his knees on the sidewalk. The rain, which had been holding back joined his tears in falling.
