A/N: the following story is a work of fiction. The characters from the Kim Possible Show, you know Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable and so on belong to the Disney Corporation and not to myself. If they did, I wouldn't be working in a stinking factory to make a living. I'd like to make money at this, but let's face it I'm not good enough. So stroke my ego and read it. Thanks.
I wish to thank CajunBear73 for his tireless efforts in trying to make me appear intelligent and at least semi-talented. I really do appreciate his hard work. I'd recommend him as someone else's beta, but I still have dibs with Screaming Phoenix. I want to thank Spectre666 as well, he makes me think hard and makes me defend my stories and how and why I wrote a certain way. When you have to be ready for that, you think it through a lot better, trust me on that. We have enough yes men in the world and he isn't one. Also thanks for the encouragement that other writers have given me and a great thanks to readers that have thought that the works that I have written so far are worth reading.
Oh to Utcyborg, yep their personalities are off. People under stress don't always have the same reactions that you expect them too. Remember Ron has done something in during the graduation that never happened before....He killed. He did things that most people never thought him capable of. Wave Form a lot of good guys are gonna get punished it seems. Screaming Phoenix I know just how much you like Josh, but this chapter ought to put Will Du on your list as well. CB I don't know what to say, you've read all my stuff and probably know the stories better than I do.
As for this story CaptainKodak observed you have to get through Good Friday before you can get to Easter. And I had to do it some way. So here it is.
Ummm....does anyone else feel a cold wind up their spine?
Broken Promise
Chapter 7
Ron looked at the petite, sleeping form that was wrapped in the covers on his bed. 'God she's so beautiful, Stoppable. You sure lucked out this time.', he told himself as he continued to enjoy the loveliness before him. He watched as she rolled over, clutching a pillow to her chest. A slight purr escaped her. 'I hope she's dreaming of me.', as he watched in amazement. Her beauty took his breath away.
He gazed in wonderment for a little longer before leaving. 'I must contact Sensei. Maybe they have changed their minds.', he mused as he exited his room to begin his meditations in the tree house.

"Ron honey, hold me. Honey you know you have to tell me those silly secrets. I'm afraid they'll keep us apart."
"Kim, Ron is not good for you....not as good as I am. He will hurt you...You know that I will never hurt you."
"No Josh, I love Ron. We are meant to be together, we understand and love each other. We have been together almost all of our lives. He's the best man I have ever met. He's the only man I ever want."
"Kim, Kim, Kim we shall see. He fights, he hurts people, given they are bad people....for now. What happens when he starts hurting good people....and you know he will. What will you say? How will you comfort the good people that we both know that he will hurt Kimberly?"
"Josh, Ron is good. More good than I am. He just has some secrets that worry me that's all."
"So, he even keeps secrets from the woman that he says that he loves. Does this show his love for you? I don't think so Kim. I don't think so."
---
With a gasp she woke. "Ron?", she panted. 'What a weird dream. What was Josh doing in there? Where's Ron?', she thought worriedly. Kim Looked at the clock, '3 AM, he should be home by now.'
Kim put a robe on and went to look for her man. As she got downstairs she looked out a window and saw his car in it's normal spot. 'OK, he's home. The shower's not running. The TV's not on. Where is he? Hanna's room? Nah. Basement? I doubt it. Tree house? Most likely. He didn't want to wake me up. OK Ronnie here I come.', she thought excitedly being fully awake now.
Kim exited the back door and softly walked to the tree house that they had been so used to being together in. She quietly climbed the ladder to the elevated platform. When she got there she watched again as a blue aura was around the man she loved. She could hear him speaking, but couldn't see anyone else. Quietly she listened to him. "But Master, why can't you give me permission...I have only done this for KP....It was only for her, everything...She is my life, sir....Without her in it, I have no purpose....Yes Master, I do not understand, but I will obey...You know more that I....I suppose it is for the best. If anything happens to me, please make sure that she is safe, that is my only request."
Kim watched the glow change as the conversation went on. It seemed brightest when he talked about her. She watched her man, she could tell he was concerned. When she heard his words about his love for her and where she fit in his life she held her head high. 'He loves me more than anything. He wants me. I have to be there for him.', she thought proudly.
Finally the weird conversation was over. The glow dissipated. She watched Ron as his shoulders slumped and his head hung down to his chest. She watched him stay as he had been for a few moments before she said anything. "Honey.", Kim said softly, "I love you. You complete me Ronnie. Come on honey let's get to bed. Mom says that we going to move back into our house later today. I want to hold you.", she informed him.
He got up and moved as gently as he could to her. "Have I ever told you how much I love you Kimberly?", he asked.
"Yes, but it doesn't hurt to hear it some more. Come on let's go." she told him as she climbed back down the ladder.
A few minutes later the redhead looked at her man, then she smelled him. "In the shower now mister. I'll keep the bed warm for you.... hurry. Please?", she asked him as he headed off as ordered.
Ron slowly returned to the room. "Honey?", he asked in a very low voice. All he got was a small snore for his efforts. He softly pulled back the covers and climbed in next to her not wanting to wake the sleeping woman.
Ron woke in the morning with a clingy young woman's arms wrapped around him. He kissed the top of her head as he came to his senses. He was rewarded by a crushing hug. "What are we gonna do, now that I have to move back home Ronnie?", she asked.
"We are gonna have a normal boyfriend and girlfriend relationship KP. You know it's not normal for guys and girls our age just to sleep together even when we're not having sex. I guess once we're engaged it would be different though, but I don't know since I've never been in this position before.", he told his Kim.
Kim asked softly, "Ron do you want to...you know like get married and do the 'live happily ever after' thing with me?
"More than anything darling. More than you can know.", he told her honestly, "I want us to live side by side until God decides it's our time."
"Me too. I want that for us. We're still young, but that's what I want too.", Kim told him, "I mean I know that we promised each other...And I really want you so much. I want to grow old with you Ron Stoppable."
"Honey, I'm going down to make some breakfast. It's still early, so why don't you take a nice long bath while I get things going. Call down to me when you're out and I'll bring you a hot cup of coffee, OK.", Ron asked.
"Sure Ron. Thanks.", she replied giving him a quick kiss.
Ron already had hash browns bacon and scrambled eggs going while the coffee was brewing. It wasn't twenty minutes before. "I'm ready Ron.", rang out. By this time both sets of parents were up and Ron had already begun a second pot. True to his word, he carried the steaming cup of java up to his room where Kim was waiting for it.
"Breakfast will be in a few minutes KP, so hurry now.", he told her.
He went back down to finish. "Good to see you taking care of Kimberly's needs Ronald.", his father told him as he returned, "Are you going to be able to help the Possibles move back in to their home today son?"
"I'm supposed to work at the restaurant all day Dad. You wanna see if I can get out of it?", Ron asked.
"Sure son. I think we....I...uh mean they should be able to do without you for a day. Some of the staff should be getting back today. I'll call for you.", he told the young man.
"Thanks Dad. Maybe I can spend some time with KP too, afterwards.", he responded with a smile.

Near evening the Possible homestead was once near it's former glory. The tweebs each had their own room now and the Master and Kim's bedroom had been enlarged. Ron had just finished putting Kim's replacement bed together. "Wow, KP the new bed is a lot bigger than your old one. Maybe we should get invaded every few years or so just to get better stuff.", Ron observed.
"I liked my old bed Ron, it was just right for me. But, I guess if I was sharing it with a certain someone I'd want something a little bigger.", she told her boyfriend while pulling him up on the new piece of furniture to see how comfortable it was.
It was full evening when they returned downstairs. The rest of the adults were waiting for them to appear. "Well what do you kids have planned for the evening?", James Possible asked the two teens.
"Well Daddy I was thinking of taking Ron out to Bueno Nacho for dinner. With the work schedule he's been on he hasn't been able to get there recently. So, I sort thought it would be nice. You know just the two of us. Then maybe we could get a little alone time together.", she told her father.
"OK, you guys take care of yourselves then. We're gonna take in a movie and let the twins take care of Hanna.", Barb Stoppable told them.
Ron at this point looked panicky. "Uh KP, maybe we should stay home. I don't want the tweebs to try any experiments on my little sister. She might hurt them.", he suggested worriedly.
"Roooonnn, they had better not do anything to our little sister, if they know what's good for them. They're not stupid, they just get bored easily. I'll go have a talk with them. I'll be back in a minute or two.", she told him, cracking her knuckles.
"Oh, OK KP.", he replied. "Rufus where are you buddy?", Ron called out.
In a few moments the pink mole rat was scrambling up Ron's leg. "Listen buddy KP and I are going out to Bueno Nacho. The tweebs are gonna watch Hanna, so I want you to watch the tweebs....understand? I'll bring your favorite back with us, OK buddy?", he asked his little friend.
"Hink, sure Ron.", Rufus replied saluting him.
Ron set him down to begin his vigil as Kim returned. "OK Ronnie lets go. I haven't been to one of your pig out sessions all summer. I even brought a camera to post our pictures on the site. Let's go." she told the blond haired boy.
They trotted outside and got in Kim's sloth for the trip to Ron's favorite eatery.
From the shadows someone looked on. It picked opened it's phone. Moments later it spoke into the mouthpiece. "Both are going to the Mexican place that the male enjoys."
"Understood was the reply.", as they both ended the conversation.
Kim and Ron sat in their old booth. Ron was having the time of his life. He was with his girlfriend and he was eating his favorite food. "You know KP, I wonder why we didn't stop for Bueno Nacho while was in Laos, I'm sure that they have them there. I mean they're in almost every country on the planet.", he asked.
"I thought that you was wanting to get home because of work.", Kim replied.
"Yeah I guess you're right KP.", he told her.
Just then the door opened and Tara and Josh walked in.
"Hi guys the bubbly blond called to her friends. Josh just suggested that we come in here instead of the one in the mall. Can we join you?", she asked the teen heroes.
"Sure Tara, you and Josh are welcome.", Ron called back.
The other two quickly sat down. "Hi Josh, how are ya doin?", Ron asked the artist.
"Oh just getting my stuff ready for the fall. Since I got the scholarship I don't have to get a job, unlike you. Oh I guess that's right, you're not going anyway. Didn't make the grade, huh Stoppable?", he asked with a smirk.
"Josh what a horrible thing to say to Ron. You know his grades were good. He made the B honor roll for the whole last year.", Tara growled at him.
"It's OK Tara, Josh is right I didn't make it. Still can't figure out why nobody has offered me anything. Maybe I can head back to Japan for school. That place that I went on the exchange trip told me that they had a college level program that I could enter.", Ron informed them.
Kim looked at Ron. "So when were you going to tell me this Romeo?", she asked with an edge to her voice.
"Tonight KP, it's a last ditch thing since I haven't figured out why I still haven't gotten any letters back. Funny thing though, I haven't gotten any rejection letters either. It's like I've had no correspondence with any school, now that I think of it.", he told her.
"Well wait for a little while honey. I already unleashed Wade. He's as confused as we both are.", she informed Ron.
"Thanks for doing that for me, KP.", he leaned in for a kiss. Neither noticed Tara's boyfriend tighten up a bit during the exchange of information.
"Uh Kim. I didn't see you earlier today. Did you want your vitamins? The people that developed them told me that for the best results you need to take them everyday.", Josh told her.
"Sure Josh, are you going to give any to Ron too?", Kim asked.
"Well if Ron's going to go to Japan or someplace else, it really wouldn't do him any good if he couldn't get them all the time.", Josh responded with a smile.
They sat and talked for a while as they ate. Finally Josh brought up, "Kim told us that you lost your job at Smarty Mart for fighting. So, what's it like being a jerk?", Josh asked harshly.
"Yeah your right Josh, if I didn't beat the snot out of those guys six people, including a teenage girl, a grandmother and Mr. Barkin, would be six feet under right now. I guess I'm a real big jerk alright.", Ron replied with a growl.
"Well I wonder when they'll come to their senses at that restaurant and get rid of you there, too.", Josh taunted.
"Well maybe they will girly boy.", Ron answered. 'Like they could fire the owner.', he thought to himself.
The girls pushed the two boys back since they had been getting closer during the exchange. "Ron, apologize to Josh for calling him a girly boy.", Kim ordered.
"Josh, you apologize for calling Ronnie a jerk this minute. I don't know what's wrong with you buster, and I'm not sure that I like it.", Tara shoved him back into the bench seat.
"Sorry Josh, just been under a lot of stress lately.", Ron told him.
"You're right, you're sorry loser.", Josh snapped as he got up pulling Tara behind him.
"Josh.", Kim told him, "If you can't stand Ron, then stay away from me too. If you can't accept him, then leave me alone until you do."
"Sorry Kim, sorry Ron I don't know what came over me.", Josh finally told them as he and his girlfriend left.
"What in the world is wrong with Josh?", Kim asked her boyfriend.
"I don't know honey. But he should get over it unless he wants to become a victim.", he replied as he continued to drink in her beauty.
Kim finished her drink and they got up to leave. "Let's go down to the beach Ron, we can watch the moon and snuggle for a while.", Kim offered.

"Second level of the drug has been introduced Master.", the small one spoke into the phone.
"Good, if we continue this pace, it will not be long before I have my revenge and you have your freedom from me.", the taller one replied into his phone.
"I want this over as much as you do sir.", the servant replied.
"I'm sure you do. Remember who has the power over your life.", the master threatened.

Yamanouchi, Japan:
"Yori-san, please walk with me?', the old ninja master asked.
"Yes master, it will be my honor.", she replied falling into step with the honored master.
"How is your relationship with Hirotaka-san progressing, my favored student?", he asked.
"Hiro-kun is the man I wish to live my life with master. Thank you for supporting my love and my heart for him. I have heard from 'others' that some members of our council had tried to change my life from the man that I now love to one of duty for the school. I have meditated and come to the conclusion that Hiro is to be mine and that Stoppable-san is to be Possible-san's mate. I know that in my heart of hearts. I wish that all others can see the truth to this.", she told him worriedly.
"Yori-san I may have a mission for you and Hirotaka-san very soon. However, I fear sending you too soon and events are very foggy to me. I fear making a mistake, if I do Stoppable-san may be lost to us. Please make your lover aware that I may need both of you to travel on a moment's notice.", he confided to his best student, "It is a matter of grave importance."
"Will Ron-san perish, Master? How can this be? We have seen him ascend to the highest level. He has done what no one else in the world could.", she responded.
"That is my problem, I do not know. Too much is hidden to me. If I act one way, events may occur that have devastating effects on what happens. The Agency Global Justice has become interested in the Chosen One as well. I feel they may attempt to harm him. Our mole in that organization is very worried that some of them will try to study him to do what the Americans say to 'see what makes him tick'. Their methods may be brutal and they may try to use Possible-san against him. That is what may happen, but I do not think that is the major threat. What causes me concern is that I do not know the nature of the major threat.", he confessed.
"Sensei, I will do as you ask. For your request is like an order to me. You have treated me and Hiro-san as your children for as long as I remember. I will do what you ask even if it costs me my lover and my life.", she responded.
"I hope that will not occur Yori-san, but for right now go, and let Hiro know, quietly. I wish this to be covert and unannounced to the rest of the school.", he told her, "Now go and make ready. But continue in your normal activities for the time being."
Middleton, Colorado:
Kim drove the sloth back home. "Are you sure you don't want me to drop you off at home honey?", she asked as she shut the car off.
"KP, I think even I am capable of walking home. We only live a couple blocks apart. I've been walking home by myself since I was six. Remember the firest time was after that bath that your Mom gave us when we decided to make mud pies? That was the first time I found out that girls were not long haired boys.", he told her.
"Well you didn't have to look.", she giggled.
"Well it was more of a glance than anything KP. You had brothers so you knew. I was an only child, so I had no idea.", he replied.
"Yeah, it must have been a shock after you asked my mom all those questions about me being broken.", she continued to giggle. "Do you wonder how we're going to break the news to our kids?", she asked.
"Let em learn off the streets like most kids do KP.", he told her.
"Not on your life. If it's a boy you can tell them, I'll take care of the girls.", she laughed.
"Then I hope they're all girls KP, just a copy of their mommie. Maybe ten or twelve beautiful copies of their mommie.", he chuckled.
"I hope not that many, maybe one or two of each Ronnie.", she told him more seriously this time, "Are you sure that you don't want to stay the night?"
"Thanks KP, but I have an early shift tomorrow. If I get up early while I'm in the rack with you, then I might wake you up. No cranky Kimmie tomorrow morning. I should be off around nine or ten tomorrow night. I'll show up then OK?", he asked.
"OK Ronnie, I should be off by then, where do you want to meet?", she asked.
"I don't know KP, how about if I call ya.", he told her.
Ron walked home with a spring in his step. He was nearly to the Stoppable address when a van pulled up next to him. "Amateur sidekick.", a familiar voice told him, "You're wanted for questioning down at headquarters."
"Willie Boy is that you? Isn't it past your bedtime?", Ron asked, noticing that five other large men had gotten out of the van and stood behind him.
"Come along quietly and maybe you won't get hurt.", the Global Justice Agent growled, "Please resist, I could use some exercise."
"Gee Willie Boy, you don't need to see me. You guys already had that chance when you brought KP in for her interview. What more information can I give you?", Ron replied.
"We'll just have to find out sidekick.", one of the others told him as he was circling behind.
Will Du then spoke up, "We can find out all sorts of information that you don't have to be alive to reveal. Where do you think all that villain equipment had gone over the years, Stoppable."
Suddenly the two to the side lunged to grab the teen.
Ron stepped forward spinning. His leg came up and caught Du with a sidekick, knocking him down and out of breath since it was delivered below the belt. The two that tried for the grab ran into each other. 'Nice job guys, and people think I'm a klutz.', he thought as he continued to spin and weave around his attackers. As they backed off from each other Ron stepped forward and grabbed them each behind their heads and brought the two skulls forward until they met in front of his face with a sickening crunch. Ron then launched himself at the three others and delivered a brutal front snap kick to the jaw of the one who had been trying to get behind him. His head snapped back and then forward as Ron had stepped in to deliver a right hand elbow stick to his assailant's jaw, thus knocking him out as well.
The two that remained standing looked at him. One pulled a knife. The other charged. Ron met the charging man with a ridge hand strike to the throat with his right hand after he had delivered a palm block knocking the attacker's punching hand down with his left. Taking another step forward he used the same right hand and performed an knife hand strike to the back of his attacker's neck. Ron quickly swept his leg and as the Agent landed on his back Ron stomped him on the chest breaking five ribs. Will Du watched the scene play out when the fourth man went down. Then the 'buffoon' began to play with the knife wielding Agent. It appeared that the sidekick was toying with the with the more experienced and armed man he even tossed the knife back once after taking it away. Moments later the knife went sailing into the darkness. A moment later the last attacker was down with a shattered arm. Stoppable told the injured agent, "Listen pal if you can't hang on to your toys you can quit expecting me to pick them up for you."
Ron picked up each one of the Agents and piled them back into the van. He slapped Will to make sure he was awake. "Listen Willie, I didn't really care for what you and the rest of your buddies tried back there. So , I'm gonna make it easy for ya. I'll use very small words so that you understand, OK?" Seeing the hesitant nod, he continued, "You know I could have easily killed you all and hidden your bodies. No one would ever have found you.", he paused to make sure that Will heard him.
"Got it so far? Betty probably would think that a villain finally caught up with you....again." Seeing the nod he started again, "So here's what happens now. If you ever attack me, Kim Possible, any of our families or friends again I will make you and all your partners here, and in the future, disappear. I don't care if I take down the whole organization. Do you understand Willie Boy?", he told the senior Global Justice Agent as he began to glow a fierce blue as he growled to make his point.
Seeing the nod again, Ron continued, "Now I would suggest that you guys go and get your injuries attended to and go on vacation for a week or so. That way there won't be any embarrassing questions."
Ron got out of the van to let Agent Du drive off into the night. The tweeked teen turned and walked towards his own home.
