Looks like my luck is changing as I actually manage to have the story updated by the next day! But don't expect this streak to continue folks. I'm just having a hot streak that has a strong possible chance of fading.

Zaratan – Kim's punishment is coming soon, but it's still going to be awhile. I'll give you a small hint: She'll have the worse week ever!

DarkJackel – You'll see how what happened to Yori affects Ron in this chapter. As for the Kim/Bonnie fall out, it may appear that Kim's winning right now, but she won't be for long. Just like all payoffs, it has to build up more and more, so that when it happens, the payoff will become much more satisfying. Plus, I agree that Bonnie needs a bit of humble pie herself. Bonnie still has the "Queen Bitch" reputation, but right now she's the lesser of the two evils. But that may change as the character development continues.

campy - Yeah, when I look at it now, it does look similar to his MatthewC's one shot. But I was just thinking about the things Kim would say to Bonnie, that is, if she had a mean streak of her own. The main points may've been similar, but the intentions were different. Just incase, I'll give a shout out toMatt anyway.

BuckNC - Don't worry, Ron and Felix will make things a bit better for their respective girls.

ron-sama – Damn, I didn't expect to have that many twists and turns in this story in terms of parings. There will be a Ron/Fukushima showdown in a future chapter so yes, like Kim, expect Fukushima to get his comeuppance.

Riye Link Reue Even if Tara did tell about what Kim said, hardly anyone would've believe her when it came to Kim and Bonnie, let alone if it was for Bonnie's case. Tara may seem to be a kind, honest person, but the fact still remains that she's still Bonnie's friend, let alone best friend. And as for Bonnie knowing about Kim having Ron's restaurant shut down? She was hiding behind the trees as she heard Ron and Kim's argument.

striker11 – Chapters 8 and 9 are there, but sometimes for one reason or another, some chapters to some stories won't be shown, despite them being there on the main page. If it happens next time then copy and paste the link and replace that last number in the slashes with the number of the corrisponding chapter.

Not important – For one, no it's not going to be a Ron and Chippy paring. Not to bash anything, but beastality isn't my cup of tea. And as for Kim having corporate Sponsors: The odds of that happen are –1000-1.

Chapter 9: Anger and Understanding.

"HI-YA!"

Ron, having since changed into his white gi, landed another fiercely hard kick to the ribs of another student as his eyes were narrowed. This was the 5th student he managed to defeat in a battle, and this was one of the advanced students! The sun had since set, as it was nearly dark! The Mystical Monkey Power was working overtime as Ron was itching for a battle. Sparring, Training, Ron was looking to do anything to get his mind off of what had happened. What had happened to Yori! What Fukushima had done to her! Just the thought of his hands under her clothes, groping her were enough to light a fuse inside of him that made Ron wanted to fight. And for what he's done to her, Ron would never forgive Fukushima! As a matter of fact, Fukushima better prayed that he never found him, or otherwise he'd wished that he never came back to Yamanouchi after betraying the school to Monkey Fist.

"Who's next…?" Ron said in a cold voice that was barely above a whisper as he got into his fighting poser. "WHO ELSE WANTS SOME?" He screamed in nearly pure rage as he then felt a hand tap him on the shoulder.

"Umm…Stoppable-San?"

Ron turned back as he was just about to strike before he saw the owner of the hand that touched him. It belonged to a girl who was petite built and was somewhat timid, especially while looking at a very angry person. Her hair was long, brown, and somewhat layered, like Bonnie's. Basically she was the shorter, Japanese version of Bonnie Rockwaller, minus the snobbish, bitchy attitude of course. Actually she was the opposite. She was basically the shyest girl in Yamanouchi, and she was in the intermediate class. With a sigh, Ron's demeanor softened a little bit as he let out a sigh. "Hitomi…" He sighed.

"Yori wishes to see you…" She said.

Ron nodded as he proceeded to follow her. However, he couldn't help himself but ask. "How is she doing?"

"She's doing okay… still a bit shocked, but she's okay." She sighed, "Poor Yori…"

"Fukushima…" Ron muttered, "He'll pay. He'll pay for all that he's done to her. It was already bad enough that he betrayed the school by basically handing over the Lotus Blade to Monkey Fist, but this? That is so unforgivable…"

"Please Stoppable-San. All Yori needs right now is for you to be there for her."

Ron nodded, Hitomi was right. Instead of feelings for rage and revenge, he should be with Yori, being there for here, taking care of her during her time of need. However… "I'm not sure…" Ron admitted. "After what has happened, wouldn't a guy be the last thing Yori wanted to see right now?"

"Just trust me, please…" She requested in almost a pleading tone. Unfortunately for Ron, she had that face. That same face she used to use in order to get him to do something that she really wanted him to do…

"Oh okay…" Ron sighed, not wanting to see her Puppy Dog Pout any longer as they proceeded to Yori's quarters. "So, tell me what's the deal between Yori and him?"

Hitomi sighed. "Long before we found out about you, Yori and Fukushima were close friends. Not only that, they were best friends. Even at one point, there were boyfriend and girlfriend."

"You mean they…"

"They were a couple for about a year and two months, but Fukushima proved to be rough and always was the jealous type. So Yori broke it off with him. Then later on, you came to Yamanouchi and…"

"I always wondered why he had a grudge against me…" Ron sighed as he looked down. "This is my fault… I should've been there! I could've saved Yori from Fukushima!"

"Stoppable-San… Ron…it's not your fault!"

"It is…if I haven't had made that damned call, I would've been there on time and stopped him. And Yori would be okay…"

"Please don't be so hard on yourself! Even if you did get there on time, Fukushima would've been long gone."

"But that doesn't change the fact. Right now Yori just had about the worse experience in her life. And Fukushima is probably somewhere bragging about it." His eyes narrowed. 'You better pray that I never find you, Fukushima…'

They had eventually made it to the building as Ron took a deep breath. "Okay…here goes nothing…" He said in almost in a whisper, still feeling butterflies in the whole thing. As he walked up to the door, he could see her shadow on the door. She was hunched over, as her silent tears could be heard. "Umm…"

A cracked voice shouted in a mix of sadness and anger in Japanese that translated to "Go away!" Silent sobs could also be heard.

"Yori… you wanted to see me?" Ron spoke put, but in his mind, he was already regretting coming to see her. But she did want to see him so he should at least be there for her at her time of need.

"S-stoppable-San?" She asked, her voice sounding so broken.

"I'm here, Yori… Can I come in?" He asked as he was just about to slide open the door.

"NO!" She shouted. "I don't want you to see me in my shame! I don't want you to see my dishonored body!"

"Come on Yori. I don't know if it's in my place to say, but I could understand what you're going through…sorta. About how you must've felt when…he…did what he did. So helpless, so defenseless! And besides, you can't stay inside of your room forever! You'll have to talk to someone sometime…" Ron explained as he looked down. 'I'm so sorry, Yori… I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there for you…' His hand soon tightened up into a fist. 'But that doesn't mean I won't make up for what happened…'

What Ron did not see was the door opening. When he did look up, he saw Yori. She was dressed in her kimono, but it wasn't like the one he saw her in before. This time, it was just a simple plain white one with a golden sash around the waist. Her hair was without her pink headband as it was held up in a bun with brown chopsticks. From the tearstains on the sides of her face as well as her reddened eyes, it was apparent that she had been crying. Her first immediate action was to fall forward and hug him as she once again began to sniffle…

"It'll be okay…" Ron said softly to the girl as she cried, letting it all out. "I'm here for you, Yori…"

"H-how… How could he?" She asked between sobs. "How could he have done such a thing to me…?"

"Don't worry about him now." He placed a hand on her back, consoling her. He may have had his own personal problems, but now all that was important was that Yori was okay. To hell with his own problems, it was Yori that needed help right now. "He's gone now. He won't ever hurt you again. I'll see to it."

"H-he… he… touched me. He violated me…" She cried. "I've never felt so weak… So vulnerable…" She shook her head. "It's my fault! I've failed! I brought shame and dishonor to us all! To the school, to my master, everyone!"

"No Yori, that's not true! You didn't even think that Fukushima was even capable of doing something like that." He said as he walked her back inside of her room before they seated themselves on the floor. "The most important thing right now is to get through this. Otherwise, as long as it stays bottled up inside of you, it'll continue to haunt you until it is too late. It's what you've told me earlier, before we went into town today. You have to just let it all out and let it all go away. And I'm not saying for you to just get over it, that's not humanly possible. But all you have to do is just take it one step at a time, Yori. Just at your own pace. Though you may never forget what has happened as well as there's no way to change what has happened, you would have managed to deal with this."

"…I … was planning on giving myself…to someone when I were to wed…" She said. "Now Fukushima has robbed me of that. He has dishonored me, he has robbed me of my innocence, and for that I'll never forgive him. Ever…"

"I feel the same way." Ron knew that it was a very inappropriate time, but he felt that he had to lighten the mood. "So should we start a manhunt, or should we just put up a poster stating "Fukushima Season Open?"

Yori let out a small giggle as a satisfying smile formed on Ron's lips. Looks like his intention for the joke has been fulfilled. "You always make me laugh with your jokes." She said.

"Well, if it makes you happy…" He said as he stretched his arms out for a bit before he stood up. "So are you okay now?"

"I believe I'll be fine now." She nodded her head.

"Okay, we have weapons training tomorrow morning at four o'clock sharp. I'll see you there." He said as he was about to open the door.

"Ron…?"

Ron immediately stopped in his tracks. Yori never called him by just his name before. Usually she called him "Stoppable-San" or sometimes "Ron-San," as he requested, or even "Ron-Kun" once in a while. But never just "Ron." "Yeah Yori?"

"Could you…do me the honor of staying with me…for one night?"

Ron sighed, as much as it would be nice, as well as a honor he would be the first to admit, to sleep with a girl as in companionship, he knew that it wouldn't exactly be favorable. "I dunno Yori. I don't think Sensei would appreciate-"

"Please…?" Yori asked him, pleading in her tone of voice as well as in her eyes as a small tear formed in her right eye. It was at that moment where Ron began to felt like shit. How could he have been so insensitive? The girl just got raped and the last thing she'd possibly want after experiencing what was probably the worst thing in her life was to sleep alone, unprotected, vulnerable…

With another sigh, the blonde walked back to her. "Sure Yori. I'll stay for you. But only for one night."

"Thank you, Ron-Kun…" She said softly as Ron reseated next to her, before she leaned her head onto his shoulder. And that was the way they remained, for the rest of the night…

Middleton High

Felix Renton rolled though the halls of the high school with a lot on his mind. First, he gets a call from Ron in the morning before school as he was told that he was doing fine in Japan…that is until for some reason, Ron quickly had to go. He didn't know what kind of trouble he was in, and add to the fact that he couldn't possibly help since he was so far away was what irritated him even more.

Next came the whole Bonnie/Kim situation. All they, he'd seen Kim having, albeit bruised up, a smug look on her face while Bonnie had a depressed, down feeling. About a few weeks ago, he, like everyone else, would feel that the Queen B has finally got what she deserved. But now that he had gotten to know her, he now felt concerned for her. But still, he couldn't help but feel a bit angry with Bonnie. After all, he did warn her not to go off on Kim, and look where it got her? It was like someone sucked the life right out from her.

With a sigh, he saw the former of the situation, at her locker as she wasn't dressed in her cheerleading outfit, but in those same Stiletto boots, this time with a short white-collared dress with a platinum diamond belt wrapped around her waist. He knew that she wouldn't be in any mood to talk about Bonnie, but it had to be done. After all, Kim was his friend, too, and the last thing he needed was a civil war between his crush and his friend.

"Hey Kim!" He greeted the redhead, who turned around and gave him a small smile.

"Oh, hey Felix." She greeted back. "How's life been treating ya?"

"Eh? No complaints." Felix shrugged before he sighed. "Um, listen Kim. I've been hearing rumors that you're trying to get Bonnie kicked off the squad."

Now it was the redhead's turn to sigh. Why did she had the feeling that this was where the conversation was going to go? "Bonnie has done some low things to me, but I didn't expect her to go so low as to assault me! This time, she went too far."

"Is that what happened?" Felix asked, but he couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical about Kim's story, which was much different that the one he heard from Tara. He knew that Tara wouldn't lie to him, but there were at least two sides to every story and he needed to hear them all…

"First Bonnie, as usual decided to taunt me. Then when I wasn't giving her the response she oh-so-desperately wanted, she jumped me! How can I trust a member of the squad to watch out for my safety if they want to attack me like that, like a rabid animal?"

"Do you have any idea why Bonnie would do that?"

"I know why, Felix: It's because she's jealous of me! She's jealous of me because I'm a good girl with morals while she's nothing more than a bargain-basement slut who'll do anything to keep her status. And I emphasize anything. And she doesn't care how many people she uses or steps on either! Just ask anyone in the school, that is anyone who isn't kissing Bonnie's ass or getting sucked off by her."

Felix kept a straight face, but in his mind he was shocked. No way Bonnie had done all of that. There was no way she was a slut…wasn't there? "Are you sure about that?"

"It's obvious Felix! Ever since Middle School Bonnie had some kind of grudge against me." Kim explained, "Hell, at the Spirit Dance Bonnie tried to steal Josh from right under my nose! And as of right now, I've had it! I can't take this anymore! The Squad can't take it anymore! I'm just so sick and tired of this whole thing and only by kicking her off the squad this little feud will be over and done with!"

"It's not going to be done, Kim! By doing that not only will it not end, but it'll only make Bonnie resent you more than ever! Then what'll happen then? I'm not saying that I don't want you to kick Bonnie off the squad, but I just asking how will it stop this rivalry?"

"Who side are you on, Felix?" Kim asked, now having a tweaked look on her face. He was supposed to be her friend, yet he's defending Bonnie?

"I'm not taking sides, Kim! I'm just looking on both sides of the coin! I'm saying maybe trying to work things out with Bonnie-"

"It won't work Felix! That girl is so full of herself I bet that the three most important things to her are 'me, myself, and I.' Face it Felix, Bonnie is a selfish, ungrateful spoiled bitch. Always was, and always will be! Now all I have to do is to tell Barkin and she'll be off the squad and now I can get my life back together without any other annoyances." Kim scoffed, "And besides, Bonnie isn't anywhere near my league anyway!"

Felix raised an eyebrow. "For someone who's complaining on her arrogant behavior, you're not doing so better than Bonnie either."

"Well at least what I say is true. Bonnie is such a piece of work. If she can't get to me with her words, she uses her fists. She's a dangerous psycho and she's lucky I'm not going to press any charges!"

"Sorry Kim, but that's not the way I've heard it!" Felix said, now beginning to sound angry. "From what I've heard, it was you that threw the first blow. Yeah, you might have had a few bruises, but it wasn't like Bonnie came unscathed either."

"Well what'd you expect me to do, I had to defend myself!" Kim snapped back at him before she blinked. "…You're on her side, aren't you?"

"What?" Felix blinked at the accusation. 'Has she become this delusional?'

"You're siding with her, aren't you? You're going to betray me, you're going to turn your back on me, just like Ron did!"

"Look, I'm not betraying you!" Felix tried to explain, but Kim wouldn't have any of it.

"Well if you like Bonnie so much, than fine! She can be your new friend because I won't be yours! Goodbye!" And with that, Kim slammed the door to her locker shut before storming away, leaving Felix to watch her as her eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'm starting to see why Ron left you…" He muttered as he rolled away. He wanted to find some answers about what had happened this morning and not only did he find out that Bonnie's story was more believable than Kim's, but he had, as of now, lost a friend in Kim. When Ron told him about her Kimness getting the better of her, he wasn't kidding. He proceeded on to his next class, but however, he was met with the last person he wanted to see right now. "Oh…great…"

"Whoa…hold up a second there, Wheels!" Brick Flagg rushed up to him, along with two other football jocks as they were now side to side with Felix. "We just wanna talk."

"I'd like to talk, but I have to get to class! So, if you'd excuse me gentl-"

"No!" Brick's eyes began to narrow as he grabbed onto the chair. "I insist… You're really friendly with Bonnie, aren't you?"

"We're friends? Well, sure! We have been getting along well as of late, huh?"

"Yeah…too well! You guys really seem to have great chemistry, but unfortunately, I have…well…just a little problem with that!"

"Brick…you're not jellin' aren't ya?"

Felix's response earned him a bit of "Ohhhs" from the other two jocks as Brick glared at him. "Why don't you be a man and stand up and say it to my-Oh wait, I forgot. You-"

"Can't, I know! I've heard it all before. I actually hoped that you could come up with something original! I guess being a jock does that to the mind, huh?" Felix then felt a hand grab the loins of his shirt as he was soon pulled up to eyelevel with Brick.

"You're pretty funny, aren't 'cha? Let me show you what I do to funny guys like you!" The Football Team Captain said as his free hand balled up to the fist, ready to show Felix his place on the social hierarchy.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"

The three jocks and the would-be victim turned around to see a fuming Bonnie giving a glared that if it could, Brick would be six feet under.

"Stay out of this, Bonnie! This is between the cripple and me!" Brick roared

"Yeah, you're really a man picking on a poor defenseless person in a wheelchair, let alone one who's my friend!" The brunette soon found herself grabbed by the arms by the two other jocks, one with red hair and the other with brown hair.

"I refuse to be dumped for some cripple!" Brick roared as he was going for the punch again, looking to make an example out of the cripple who decided to steal his woman. Broken up or not, nobody was going to take Bonnie away from him, especially some cripple in a wheelchair!

"That does it!" Felix eyes narrowed at blonde jock as the two robotic arms from his wheelchair shot out. One of them hit Brick in the stomach, which released its grip, as the other grabbed the now released Felix and placed him back into his wheelchair.

Bonnie also freed herself as she, using her advantages gained from cheerleading and gymnastics, lift both of her legs as she landed one foot each to her captives' crotch. These "escape buttons" that were pushed lead to her release as she quickly landed on her feet. "Felix, run!" She shouted as she quickly ran herself, wanting to get away from the jocks.

"Good idea." The brunette boy nodded as the wheelchair quickly rolled away from the jocks, keeping up with Bonnie as the jocks were on their trail.

"Felix, you said that it could fit one person when you're flying, right?" Bonnie asked as they were near the door that would lead to the parking lot.

"Yeah, but-"

"I wanna get out of here! I wanna get as far away from this school as possible!"

"But Bon, are you-"

"I don't care if I get suspended, I'm already going to get kicked off the squad, so I don't have that much to lose anymore!"

"I understand that, but that's not what I'm talking about, what about what you're wear-"

"I don't care Felix! As long as it get us away from them, anything's fine with me!" Bonnie declared in a voice that indicated to Felix that her decision was final.

"Sure Bon, hop on!" He said as his wheelchair transformed into flight mode. Bonnie quickly hopped on from behind before the chair proceeded for takeoff. She didn't care what happened. She didn't even care about the draft she was getting from under her short blue dress. At least she'd be away from them!

Speaking of the jocks, Brick and his two friends stopped as he saw the two fly away, vowing that this little ordeal wasn't over. Not by a long shot! However, the brunette jock was looking upward as, for some reason, he had a smile on his face.

"The view looks nice…" He said in an almost dreamily way. "Nice pink panties…"

That comment earned him a hard smack in the head. "Watch it Hopkins, that's my girl you're looking at!" Brick roared.

"Calm down, Flagg! Sheesh!" He scolded, rubbing his bruised head.

In the Sky…

"So where do you wanna go, Bon?" Felix asked, obviously the pilot for this impromptu flight.

"Like I said, anywhere but the school!" The brunette girl stated as she looked down. "Looks like Brick and his idiot friends got a cheap thrill…"

"I'm sorry about that, but I did try to warn you!"

"S'okay. It's not like I wasn't wearing any underneath…"

"True…" Felix sighed, "You just had to get on Kim's bad side, didn't you?"

"What did you expect me to do? Just treat Miss Perfect like a queen while she's done anything but deserve that treatment?"

"It's because of that that belief why your spot on the squad is endangered in the first place."

"True, and I thought I was manipulative!" Bonnie remembered how Kim actually goaded her to attacking her, beating her down, and not only did she hardly do a thing to fight back but she was smiling. Bonnie had fallen right into her trap, and now Kim was just a talk with Barkin away from getting her kicked off the squad!

"Maybe Barkin won't believe Kim? Tara was there too, right?"

"She told me she saw the whole thing while hiding inside the lockers. I knew that Tara could be at times timid, but I never thought that she'd hide in there."

"Well…that stuff kinda happens when you're on the spot like that." Felix said.

"So where are we going anyway?" Bonnie asked. As much as she wanted to get far away from the school as possible, she did want to know where they were going instead of just going somewhere just for the sake of it and getting lost.

"I have a full tank of fuel in the chair so we could fly all the way to Upperton and back if we wanted to." Felix informed.

"Okay then, I always wanted to go to Upperton Mall! I hear that it's even bigger than Middleton!"

"Then we'll both see if it's true, now will we?" Felix smiled. "You don't mind being my date, do you Miss Rockwaller?"

"I'd love to be your date, Mr. Renton!" Bonnie leaned over as she gave him a small peck on the cheek.

Felix could hardly keep his cheeks from turning as red as Kim's hair, but managed to retain his composure. "Okay, next stop: Upperton Mall!"

"Alright, let's go!" Bonnie shouted, letting a bit of her cheerleading get into the excitement as the rocket-powered flying wheelchair rocketed off. They already knew of the ramifications of them ditching school, but at least they'll have fun with each other for the rest of the day.


See, I told ya that Ron and Felix will make things better. Right now, Ron's spending the night with Yori while back in Middleton, Felix and Bonnie are spending the rest of the day at Upperton Mall! Next chapter, it's Weapon Training with Yamanouchi while the High School Drama continues. Read and Review, y'all!
