Ron woke in Kim's arms and for a minute was as comfortable as he'd ever been. Then his mind supplied the events of the previous day for his examination. He knew that a choice would have to be made, but as he watched her sleeping form he couldn't help but reminisce about the way they were before. "Hey, Kim. We've gotta go."

"Huh?" Kim blinked as she shook the sleep from her eyes.

Ron gazed at her. God she looks so cute like that. "C'mon, Kim. I promised one of your subordinates that I'd turn myself in today." He picked her up bridal fashion, then put her back down. "I'm gonna go get something to wear, then I'll come back, and we can eat before we go in. See you." With those words Ron left then flew home.

At his home, Ron grabbed a set of clothes and several special outfits, including two suits, a black gi, a white gi, a pair of gym shorts, several tank tops, and one set of combat clothes. He also packed a bag full of weapons and gadgets to practice with while he was in custody. Running towards his door he started floating upward and took off like a jet towards Kim's house. He landed on her porch and reopened the door. Setting his bag on the floor, he entered her kitchen and began a new meal. They sat, eating and talking, in the dining room. Ron wondering what he was going to do; Kim trying to stop herself from doing something they'd both regret. Eventually they were ready to go. Ron picked up everything they needed and flew off. Moments later he returned, hands empty. He picked Kim up by placing his arm around her back and they floated off together.

.
Several minutes later they landed in front of the Middleton Beuno Nacho and opened the door. They sat at 'their' booth and Ron tapped tree times on the table before pressing a button on a remote in his pocket. The table disappeared and the slid down through a tunnel that opened beneath them. They followed. At the bottom, they both landed on their feet, awaiting the agents they knew would be coming to retrieve Ron. He went over to the corner and grabbed their bags, giving Kim hers back. She gasped as she saw the inside of his bag and the shuriken. He hurriedly shifted it so its interior was not visible to her. Appalled she asked, "Why do you have shuriken, Ron? I didn't think that's what your job was. You're just a glorified assassin aren't you? Aren't you?"

He sighed. "Kim, do we have to do this? Okay, then, yes I kill people. not often, but you had to realize that's what I do. I told you I rose through the ranks of the ShadowCorps. How'd you think I did that? Picking flowers? I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of. I am proud of my reasons for doing them though. I did them so that the people I love can be safe, and I'd do them all again. If you can't accept that then I'm sorry, but I guess you won't be talking to me much during my stay here." Ron turned and walked away.

.
Not waiting for his escort, he made his way directly to Dr. Director's office. He didn't even stop at her door. He flashed a card at her subordinate and said, "Wait outside." When the person had left and the door was closed he told Betty, "Hey Betty. There's not much I can do to help your investigation. I will help your agents learn to protect themselves, but I can't teach them to kill. Sorry. I do think that we could help each other a lot." He flashed her a card.

Betty's eyes were wide. "Where'd you get that security card? That's a level 1 card!"

"Oh, Betty. You still underestimate me. Haven't you heard of Level 0? I'm the head. You want to see my card?" He pulled out a credit card and slid it into the computer casing. He pulled it out and the screen showed a picture of the level 0 HQ. The access screen asked for a name and he typed it in. He called up the UN forces director's meeting. You thought I retired after I quit here, right? Well I became the head of the ShadowCorps pretty fast. Then I became the head of Level 0. I'm the new cloaked figure on the hologram in the middle of the table. I also have access to every UN file. However, I also don't exist, so I have a proposition for you. If I get you Level 0 security clearance will you add some of my members to GJ?"

"Of course, sir. Whatever you want." Betty's eyes were glowing like those of a child on Christmas morning.

"Ok. Here's the list of names. Tell them it's an executive class order. Bye."

Ron walked slowly to the Alpha level detention cells. He stopped at his and entered. He lay on the floor of his room and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Ron woke to find Kim's arms surrounding him. He nearly panicked for a moment, but then decided that he ought to ignore her. He got up and dressed in a nondescript black gi. Leaving the room silently he went to the adjoining dojo. Morphing his bracelet back into its true form he began cycling through his stances. finally he morphed it into himself and gave it a katana. Grabbing one for himself he said, "Your goal is simple: Kill me." The blade waited for nothing dropping to the ground to perform a leg sweep. When Ron jumped up and out of the way, the blade stabbed upward. Ron caught the katana on the flat of his own and performed a wide diagonal slash downward and to the left. He realized that they were attracting a crowd so he caught his opponent's blade and morphed it back. "Is there a reason you're just standing there? Don't you have somewhere to be? Well, if you guys are gonna watch me you're gonna help." He threw away his swords. "Use anything you want. If any of you lands a blow on me, I'll train you all. I'll even promise not to hurt you." He caught the punch from behind and threw the offending person into the air. "Good. If I relied solely on sight that might have gotten me. Now, bring on the rest." For about half an hour he fought off fifty highly trained GJ agents, jumping around, landing on walls, and using his strength merely to throw those attacks that got close enough. He was about ready to end the session when he felt a slight tap on his shoulder He looked over his shoulder to find a fist making contact lightly with his back. He looked up and saw Kim. "Fine, I'll train you. Anyone who wants the experience had better show up here in the morning." With that he left, making his way back to the room he'd been assigned. This time, he made sure to lock the door.

Kim stood in shock as Ron ran off like that. What's wrong with him? She asked herself this futilely, knowing full well he was angry at her. Surely he won't hold that against me forever. He said that I couldn't get rid of him. He told me he loved me! Kim ranted inside her head as she suffered through the congratulations and thanks of her co-operatives. "I'm sorry, guys. I need to think," she said, excusing herself.

A/N: Here it is, Chapter 4. I know a lot of you don't think Ron would react like that, and I tend to agree. The Ron from the series would never ignore Kim. However, this Ron spent 4 years in Japan and 1 year honing his fighting skills. He just so happens to have certain insecurities that were strengthened by all the time he spent alone and with people who didn't really like Kim, right after being dumped by her. Even though he knows her reasons now, it's very hard to allow yourself to show emotion after guarding yourself that long.

Thanks to CajunBear73, your reviews helped me to find certain flaws in the story. Also thanks to robzone for pointing out my uploading problem. For those of you don't know, I had some problems with spacing, so I fixed them in Chap 1 then accidentally posted Chap 2 instead of it. If you missed Chap 1 its back up now. All of my chapters from now on should be ok, so feel free to let me know if you find any problems in my writing.

Thank you to all of the reviewers in advance. I really enjoy writing this and wouldn't stop even if I were threatened by gangsters (unlike Kim), but you reviewers always give me the warm fuzzies. I'm not sure how long it willb be until I post Chap 5. I've already finished Chap 6 and I know what I need to put into Chap 5 to make it work, but I can't really write it very well. I will tell you that I almost posted this in tragedy and might still change it if you guys think I should, but I think the last couple chapters( at least the ones I have planned) should make up for it. As Always read and review.
