Bleed

Summery: Years after the infamous Dear John Letter Kimberly Ann Hart calls Thomas Oliver and asks him to met in Angel Grove's Park. Can a relationship ten years old be salvage?

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale.

Breathe.

What had happened to her? One minute she was in the holding cell-- next she was here. Where was here? Looking around, she realized she had been here before. It had been years since she was here. A lifetime ago. The last time she was here she was a power ranger. And, now she was a normal, depressed adult. Then she realized a woman next to her.

The woman was wearing a yellow tank top, and blue jeans. Her dark black hair was tied in a lose ponytail. She was an African-American. One that she had spoken to when Trini left for the Peace Conference. And, yet this woman didn't recognize her. What was wrong with her?

"Aisha?" Kim asked.

"I'm sorry I don't know an Aisha. Who are you?"

The African- American woman had starred at her. Kim blinked. How can this woman not know who she was? Aisha Campbell was her best friend. She was after all the second yellow ranger after Trini Kwan. How can someone forget who they were? Unless...

"Aisha what had happened to you?" Kim asked.

"I was in Africa when these gray men attacked me..." she simply said.

"Putties." Kim murmured.

"Huh?" the woman asked.

Days passed. And, Aisha was still clueless to what had happened. Kim had to try to tell Aisha what she was like. Who she was. Then the day came where both woman began to fear for their lives. And, Kim knew they didn't have much longer to live. And, who or whatever was keeping them there was going to pay.

Then one day a golden monkey-bat walked over to their cell. He smirked as he watched the two former rangers sleep peacefully. Then, he unlocked the cell door, and slowly made his way to sleeping Kimberly. He bent down and kissed her cheek.

"Sleep now Kimberly, for you will soon end your friends lives and there will be no one to blame but yourself." he murmured into her ear.

He stood up straight and gawked for a few minutes. Kimberly the former pink ranger; had glowed a mysterious pink color. Minutes later, he walked out of the cell and locked it. He then stood there as Kim's chocolate brown eyes opened and flashed a bloody red.

Somehow, Kim was able to summon her power bow and she then shot Aisha in the chest...

"Aisha!" Kim screamed.

Tommy blinked. What had she been dreaming about? He didn't want to know. But, he wished she would tell him. He needed to know. Nowanted to know. He tried to hug her, but again she backed away. Now, he felt hurt. Why had her personality change?

"Kim, it's okay." he said, trying to calm her down. Or more like trying to calm himself down. His overprotective drive had just hit overload.

That's not Jason's voice! Kim's mind screamed. She looked up at Tommy and didn't recognized the man. She then got up and took a step back. She was scared of him. Deeply scared of this man who she had come to love a decade ago.

"Jason..." she whispered, only loud enough for him to hear.

Tommy froze. Jason? He asked himself. Why did Kim want Jason? He flipped opened his cellphone quickly-- not noticing Kim ran off. He quickly dialed Jason's number. One ring. Two. Then the phone was answered by a thick Asian voice.

"Hello?" the female voice asked.

"Trini! I need help. Listen-"

"Tommy," Trini said annoyed. "Can't this wait?"

"No." he looked around, and realized Kim wasn't with him. "Dammit. Kim where you go?" he asked annoyed, not caring Trini was annoyed at him and on the phone with him.

"Tommy? Your with Kim?" Trini asked, voice in awe.

"I was. She ran off... I think. She asked me to met her here, and we talked about the letter, but shit happens..." Tommy really didn't want to go throw the details.

"She ran off? What did you do to her?" Trini asked, now mad.

"I... I showed her I was a Ranger... and she fainted, awoke, and cried for Aisha." he said, not wanting to explain himself.

"Not again. You need to find her. She's not good in this state. I'll send Jason to help you find her. She was all ready over this, and you had to open her to this memory..." Trini ranted.

Tommy stayed silent. What was Trini talking about? Should he ask? Or just wait for answers? What he didn't realize was Trini had hung up on him. He didn't realize this until he heard the dial tone. He then hung up his phone and pocketed it. What was Jason going to do to him? He really didn't want to know. He needed to find Kim and fast. He was sure that Kim could take care of herself. But, he couldn't remember seeing her like this before-- even when they were Power Rangers.

And, now he felt something in the bottom of his stomach. A feeling he couldn't remember. And, the feeling slowly engulf his own heart.

Kimberly Ann Hart couldn't see straight. She knew where she was, and yet didn't. Her mind was on the man she had woken up to. She couldn't remember him, and yet she felt some kind of connection to him. Closing her eyes she realized she could hear a bird's cry. One that seemed familiar, and yet she didn't. What had happened?

Aisha.

Aisha Campbell had fallen to the floor. Kim looked down to her hands. There in the palms of her hands was dark red liquid. Blood. Instantly she knew whose blood it was. She had killed her best friend, the yellow bear.

"Aisha!" Kim sobbed, as she fell towards the ground. Tears fell from her eyes. And, for the first time in her life she felt cold.

"Kim!" a voice cried.

She felt a man presence behind her. She turned around, and recognized him. He had short black hair and chocolate brown eyes. He slowly walked towards her.

"I killed her Jase!" Kim cried, nonsense filled her voice.

"Who Kim? Who was it this time?" Jason asked softly.

Kim had gone through this before. Almost every two-three months she had. Given, it had been years since she had an episode. And, it started when Jason asked her to go down with him to Angel Grove-- since Divatox. And, that was another reason she didn't want to live in Angel Grove.

"Aisha." she said, shaking.

So, it was Aisha's time to die. Again. He needed Trini to get hold of Kathrine and Aisha. And, then there was Tommy Oliver. God, how was he going to deal with Tommy?

"Kim where's Tommy?" he asked, rocking her gently.

Kim blinked. Tommy? She hadn't seen him in years. Minus the fact her mind was blocking the call she made two weeks ago to Tommy-- and tonight. Why would he care for her now? It's not like he'd drop everything to see if she was okay.

"Jase I haven't seen him for years," she whispered, eyes fluttering closed.

"You sure?" he asked watching her nod.

So, she was in the other Kim Hart. The one who was scared of men-- besides Jason. He knew she came here to tell Tommy the truth. But, now it look like that wasn't going to happen. At least for awhile. Well, while Kim wasn't herself. He watched Kim sleep for a minute opting to call Trini and maybe Tommy. His phone rang, and he quickly answered it, watching Kim stir slightly.

"It's just Trini. Go back to sleep." he said soothingly. "Hello?" he asked.

"Jase? You've found her?" Trini asked.

"Yeah. Is Tommy still at the park?" he whispered.

"No. He's here. He's spending the night. He's in a panic. That's something I thought he forgot to do." Trini said, and laughed.

Jason smiled. He would love to see that. So, he still loves her. That's good. She needs him-- now more than ever, Jason thought.

"Let him panic Tri. I need you to call--"

"Katherine Cranston and Aisha DeSantos?" Trini asked, knowing who to call. In fact, she had all ready called them.

"They aren't to mad are they?" Jason asked.

"They know. And, you know Kat is Kim's Psychiatrist."

Jason smiled, and look down at Kim thinking it was time to go home. The four of them sharing a house. It seemed... rather odd. But, then again this was going to happen sometime. They all knew that. Maybe, he could use this time to play matchmaker. He smiled mischievously as he carried Kim towards his own car-- making a mental note to have someone pick up her car tomorrow.

When he got home he carried Kim inside, and fetched a pink blanket to cover her body up. The former pink ranger looked snug as a bug- a lazy smile displayed on her face. Then, he felt Tommy enter the room. Jason didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

"What the hell is going on?" Tommy asked as Jason flinched.

He forgotten that he now had to tell Tommy what had happen to their pink ranger.

TBC... Don't forget to R+R!

A/N: And with that ends the Chapter Bleed. Next, up Tommy asks Trini and Jason questions they don't want to answer. And, Aisha and Katherine come to Angel Grove. How will Tommy react seeing Katherine?
