Disclaimer and A/N: The Walt Disney Company is in possession of all right to the series Kim Possible. I receive nothing for my labors. Kim and Ron are at the Yamanouchi school for a bit of training but we've just learned of the Ultimate Prophesies. Some sound very ominous indeed.

Chapter 6 Preparations

"So you and Hirotaka are going steady?" Kim leaned in closer and asked. "So spill all. When's the wedding? Have you two done the dirty deed?"

Yori blushed. "Well, since you told me of your addiction, I guess I can tell you." She leaned forward and whispered in Kim's ear.

"Get! Out!" Kim said in astonishment. Yori whispered a bit more. "No! Way! It was that good?" Kim begged.

Yori tittered. "Yes way. Now I can understand why you were addicted to..." her blush deepened and she turned her head.

It was Kim's turn to blush. "Well, since Ron wiped out my memory of the problem we've only done it once. I mean we went as far as third base." Kim perked up. "Oh, do you use the baseball analogy here in Japan?"

"Yes Kim-san. We use that analogy."

"Well I can tell you I think Third Base Rocks!" Kim squealed. "I can hardly wait for our wedding night so we can really... I mean... Ah..."

"Hit a home run?" Yori offered and tittered. Kim joined in with a giggle of her own.

The two ladies finally settled down and Yori solemnly said, "With what you know about the Prophesies, is it not prudent to hit the home run now? Either Ron or you might not survive the coming battle and we do not know when it will happen."

"I haven't really got a chance to think about it," Kim said sadly. "We've been talking for what," she checked her watch, "Four hours!" she said in amazement.

"Has it been that long?" Yori asked. "We have talked about so much I have lost all track of time also."

"I should go check on Ron," Kim said with concerned. "He used to be prone to fainting at the drop of a hat but recently he's been a lot better. Today he's fainted twice."

Yori stood and went to the door. "I will show you the way. You have an adjoining room so you can freshen up too, if you like." Kim stood from the table and followed Yori down the hall and out into the afternoon sun. As they neared another building Kim stopped and asked, "Yori-san, you said you were the researcher for the Prophesies, right?"

"Hai, Kim-san," Yori replied. "I was in charge and compiled all the information that was gathered."

"So what's your guess as to when the final battle in the Heavens will happen?"

"That is difficult to predict Kim-san." Yori thought for a few seconds before starting slowly towards the dorm building. "All who had worked on the project agree that it will occur within a month."

"But...?" Kim ventured.

Yori stopped and looked at the ground. "Yes, there is also a but. Master Sensei and I think it will happen much sooner. Perhaps within a week."

Kim's eyes started to mist over. "A week!" she whined. "That mean the Prophesy about the In and Out being joined doesn't refer to Ron and my marriage. That's schedule two and a half weeks from now."

"Hai, Kim-san. I am well aware of that fact." Yori turned and faced Kim. "But a lot of other factors point to a date long before August 19th." Kim's lower lip began to quiver. Yori saw the tears welling in Kim's eyes and wrapped her arms around the auburn haired teen. "Kim-san, please relax," Yori cooed. "We could be wrong... and there are other options."

Kim unburied her head from Yori's shoulder. "Other options? What would those be?" she sniffled.

Yori smirked. "The most obvious one is to have a wedding ceremony now, just for you and Ron. If, no I mean when, everyone shows up at the church on August 19th, you can have the big ceremony for your friends and family."

"Yori-san," Kim yelled and wrapped her arms tightly around the raven haired girls neck, "that's brilliant! Can Sensei preform the ceremony? Will you be my maid of honor? You think Hirotaka-san would be a good best man?" Kim's rapid fire questions came quick.

"Kim-san," Yori said as she pried Kim from around her neck. "Do you not think you should discuss this with a certain someone first before you put on your wedding dress?"

"Doy!" Kim said, slapping her head. "Thanks for bringing me back down to Earth." Kim grabbed Yori's hand and dragged her toward the dorm. "Let's go see how Ron is doing."

At the stairs, Kim slowed down and let Yori lead them to Ron's room. Yori quietly slid the paper partition aside and the two teens looked in. Ron was sitting in the lotus position in the middle of the floor. Rufus was beside him, also deep in meditation. "I told him to meditate if he woke up," Yori whispered to Kim, "though I did not think he heard me. I thought he was still out cold when I laid him on the bed."

"Oh I heard you Yori-san," Ron said quietly. He opened his eyes. "In fact, I sensed you were coming from the time you got up from the table." He stood and walked to the girls. "And oddly enough, I also heard your conversation in the courtyard." He put his arms around Kim and kissed her. "I think we should have two ceremonies, just in case."

"You heard us talking?" Kim said in total astonishment. "From up here on the sixth floor?"

A serenity flowed across Ron's face. "Not so much as heard with my ears as heard with my mind. I also caught most of your talk with Sensei, though I already knew about the Prophesies and their meaning."

"Ron, how?" begged Kim.

Ron briefly closed his eyes. When he opened them again they glowed blue and his voice rumbled slightly as he spoke. "The Power Kim. I am the Power."

Kim broke from the embrace and took a step back. "Ron, you're scaring me a little," she said, her voice trembling.

Ron closed his eyes for a second. When he opened them, they were his normal shade of chocolate brown. He scratched the back of his head. "Sorry KP, I won't do it again."

"So, are you fully vested with the Power Ron-san?" Yori queried.

Ron thought for a moment. "No, not totally. But with a little practice and meditation I'll be ready for the final battle."

"So, when will the final battle take place?" Yori asked.

"Very soon," Ron said sadly. "But we must be ready for the fight that is to come first. Monkey Fist and a bunch of his monkey ninjas are coming for the Lotus Blade and we have to defend the school." He put his arms around Kim's waist. "Call your Mom and Dad and tell them to expect the jet at your house tomorrow morning. It'll pick them up, along with my parents and your brothers. They'll be back here in time for the first wedding ceremony." He kissed her on the lips then turned to Yori. "Yori-san. We must go to Sensei to arrange the ceremony and prepare for the fight tonight."

"Tonight?" both Kim and Yori begged in unison.

"Yep, I'm afraid so," Ron said with a sigh. "Fist is strong with the Dark Power and has grown bold. He will lead his legion of thirty or forty monkey ninja on a raid tonight." He turned to Rufus as the naked mole rat roused from his meditation. "Rufus Buddy, stay with Kim. Yori and I have some arrangements to make."

"Don't you want me to help with the wedding plans?" Kim asked.

"No, I can handle this one." Ron grinned. "Call it my wedding present to you. You trust me, don't you?" Kim nodded. Ron grabbed Yori's hand and left the room.

"Woo Hoo, wedding!" Rufus chimed.

Kim took off her backpack and dug out the Kimmunicator. "Yes Rufus. We're going to have a wedding." She sloughed a little. "A day after we fight Monkey Fist and get our butts kicked." She keyed a few button on the small hand held device and the visage of Mrs. Dr. Possible came on the screen. "Hi Mom," Kim cheerfully chimed. "How's everything back home?"

Mrs. Dr. Possible smiled at her daughter. "Every thing's fine here Kimmie. You've been gone less than a day, why the call?"

"Major change of events Mom," Kim said. "The jet is on it's way back to you and everyone is to come to Japan for a wedding."

Mrs. Dr. P smirked. "We know already. Mrs. Stoppable just called and told us the news. We're all so excited! Do you need me to bring anything for the ceremony?"

"No Mom. It's going to be a intimate ceremony. We're still going to have the big one on August 19th. Wait, how did Mrs. Stoppable know about the wedding?" Kim spotted a cell phone on the floor. "Never mind. I see Ron's cell. Well, there is something you can bring."

"Do you want us to bring Bonny?" Kim's mother asked. "She's your Maid of Honor."

"She'll be my Maid of Honor for the big wedding," Kim answered. "There might not to be a Maid of Honor for this one and I don't want her skipping out on work." Kim paused a second before she added, "Oh yeah, I think you should bring your medical bag."

"It's already pack Dear," Mrs. Dr. P sang. "Mrs. Stoppable has already passed the word along from Ron."

"I guess he's thought of everything," Kim sighed. "Well, we'll see you tomorrow afternoon I guess. Have a nice flight."

"Love you," her Mom said as the screen went black.

"O.K. Rufus," Kim said to her petite pink friend, "let's go find Ron and made some preparations for things to come."
