"Ron? Stoppable-san?" Now this was getting weird. Ron didn't have secret identities!
"Dig it KP, I'm a hero, master of the mystical monkey power! AH WAH!" She was rather perturbed but Ron's ninja moves, but never mind that. Giant gorilla's to face. And a drop dead gorgeous ninja chick who was totally into her best friend. And yet, somehow, with all her flirting and touching, Ron remained totally oblivious.
"Again, we call upon his bravery to help save Sensei." Yori seemed totally unaware of the anger brewing underneath the surface of Kim's placid demeanour. Why was she angry? Because Yori had dragged Ron around the world? But that wasn't the only thing that was whack lately. She recalled her interaction with Wade on the plane…
"Okay, Yori doesn't go to any known school, so I checked into the unknown." Wade made this stuff sound so simple. How do you check into the unknown? She decided against asking him. There were bigger worries on her mind.
"You checked- and I thought I could do anything!" Kim, despite her relaxed outer appearance, was eagerly awaiting the results. Maybe she was a criminal! That would explain her taking Ron away… or maybe she was an escaped lunatic!
"Does the name Yamanutchi mean anything to you?" Oh no way. She KNEW something was going on at that school while he was gone! And he had seemed so different when he first came back…
"That school in Japan that Ron went to last year?" That was so unfair. Why wouldn't he tell her he got a girlfriend?
"Turns out it's a super secret school!" IIgnoring Wade, her mind raced ahead. Were they already dating? Or maybe he just had a major crush on someone… YORI!
"I knew he crushed on someone while he was there!" Kim knew she was venturing into dangerous territory. Getting emotional on a mission was never good, but the fact he didn't tell her. They told each other everything!
"What, that wasn't what I-" Wade was fairly perplexed.
"\What? You think I'm jelling! I'm not jelling, why would I jel?" Wade knew a lot better than to argue with KIm when she was in this mood. Or at least he could theorise that that was the correct reaction. Kim never actually acted like this…
"Riight… anyway." Back to the stuff Wade could understand. "Turns out the school was founded by a warrior, who carved the monastery from a mountain, using only a sword!" Kim swung her head around to clear her thoughts, and not to shake any tears from her eyes. That would be preposterous, although the action would useful to disguise such an action. Not that Kim would try it.
"Well, if you want to do things the hard way…" Kim trailed off… ready to jump from an airplane. Why couldn't life be simple?
"But get this, the sword uses mystical monkey powers…" This was getting way out of hand. So, Ron had Monkey Powers but she never thought they would cause him to draw attention of his own nemesis.
"Ron has mystical monkey power. You don't suppose…"
"Monkey Fist has tried to take the power from him before…" THAT'S IT!
"So you think Yori's working for Monkey Fist!" It all made sense now; her sudden appearance right before Ron's sudden disappearance…
"Did I say that?" Wade needed to learn to keep up. After, Ron's life was at stake!
"No, I did. It's a theory." Duh.
"It's kind of jumping to a conclusion." So? Kim needed to find Ron, and the only way to do that was jumping to conclusions, which is all a theory is.
"That's what theories are, right?" She had to jump soon. The air was giving her a headache. But Wade had finally realised something.
"Man, you are jelling"
"Ngh, now that's conclusion jumping." And she launched herself from the plane, and freed herself from worries.
Looking at Yori holding Ron, speaking the highest of praise for him, she shook her head. As she attempted to convince the others to escape, she repeated a mantra in her head. 'I am not jelling. Ron is my best friend. I am not jelling…".
Falling down a waterfall is actually a little fun. That's how Ron saw it as he plummeted to his doom. But he was still glad when Yori saved him, and Kim saved Rufus.
"Oh, so we're saving the bad guy!" Kim giggled. There was the Ron she knew.
"Yeah, but it sounds cooler the way he said it." And she continued their hike back up. This was the way things should be. With Ron by her side (Or behind her, but that was because it was a narrow stair case…) and them off to save somebody. Of course, all of this normality helped her forget about Yori, since she was two people behind her. Unfortunately, she was forced to concede she was an amazing fighter, and so was forced to ask for a lift. Rather humiliating, but necessary. And both of them couldn't live without Ron, so it was a common goal.
Unfortunately, her good mood evaporated immediately following her KISSING Stoppable-san. It didn't matter it was on the cheek, it still didn't work. He was hers! She was so blinded by fury she zoned out, trying to keep her temper in check. In, out. Deep breaths. Not killing full of themselves, perfect ninja model chicks… In, out…
"Wait, so Yori like liked me?" Ron was dead shocked, and Kim found herself trying hard not to giggle. He looked like he'd had three heart attacks, all at once.
"You really don't understand girls, do you?" Ron shook his head vehemently, and Kim realised exactly how much she'd missed him.
"NO! Why can't you just say how you feel? It's not that hard!" Kim thought hard for a response, and realised she couldn't come up with one. And she still needed an answer for that question…
A/N: This is my second-last chapter. And for those with good memories, the question was "How do I feel about Ron?" from the last chapter. Yes, all will be solved, though I might do a sequel. Or not, depending on well I do the last chapter! So tell me what you guys think, and tune in tomorrow (or maybe later todays, if you're lucky. And my parents let me on the computer for much longer…)
