Cherreads

Chapter 15 - Ch.15

Ch.15

They didn't stay in the hospital for long. Ron had already healed all damage the surgery had done and Shego was dressed. After the ashes of Rufus and their child were brought, they left the hospital and headed to the airport, their next destination, Japan.

The flight was uneventful, Shego spent it cradling the ashes and holding Ron's hand. Upon landing, Ron took the lead and hailed a taxi. Getting in he directed the driver to the train station and sat back to wait. A train ride out of the city, a couple hours hiking and they were at the entrance of Yamanouchi.

Sensei stood there seemingly waiting for them. Shego wasn't surprised, there was very little information that Sensei couldn't get his hands on. They bowed to each other in greeting and spoke in english for her benefit.

"I wish your visit was under better circumstances." Sensei declared.

Shego swallowed back a sob and said. "So do I Sensei."

Sensei guided them to a room that was by the cherry blossom tree. The same tree that accompanied Yori. As for her wishes she had been cremated and her ashes buried under this cherry blossom tree.

Sensei asked the details of what happened and Ron proceeded to summarized what happened. The only time he struggled to explain was when he mentioned Rufus and the child. Even the torture of Senior was explained without a hint of remorse just a brief instant of bloodlust. Sensei listened from beginning to end offering no judgement or reprimand for Ron's actions, simply accepting them.

"I see." Sensei finally said once Ron finished explaining.

Shego took a deep breath and asked for the final hope she had left. "Sensei can you help Ron go back to his normal self?"

Sensei looked at Ron deeply for a while before shaking his head. Ever since he was turned evil his eyes remained blue and Shego knew Ron was honing his Ki. He was a drawn blade in a battlefield and only blood would sate his thirst.

"Let's put Rufus and our child to rest." Ron said and Shego nodded.

Sensei accompanied them to the cherry blossom tree, where Ron and Shego kneeled and began digging with their hands. When they were satisfied with the depth Shego picked up the ashes and opened the lid of the metal container.

Shego didn't know when she started crying but as she poured the ashes into the hole her tears joined them. Then softly, as if she were tucking them in bed she slid the dirt over them and laid them to rest. Shego cried the rest of the day and night, Sensei and Ron never leaving her side.

~~~

Shego and Ron spent three weeks at Yamanouchi, then it was time to go hunting as per Ron's desires.

Jack Hench was their first target. Then man was a businessman and there was only so long he was willing to step away from the office. Shego convinced Ron to hold off burning the company to the ground long enough to steal everything they had on the Attitudedinator. Then everything was up for grabs.

Ron spent an hour planning his attack, then we infiltrated. Shego had one word to describe the process, easy. An employee went out to lunch and lost his ID card, a swipe here, then there and they were in shipping. A couple of commands into a computer later and Hench Co deliveries for the week went missing. Next they went to the RnD department and set every prototype and doomsday machine into a controlled firing sequence that would leave Hench Co a crater. When the impending destruction started, that cleared out the personnel and gave Shego and Ron free access to Jack Hench's office. Not twenty minutes later the assets of Hench Co and anyone involved with it were transferred into their bank accounts leaving them penniless. That done, they went to a safe distance and watched Hench Co dissapear.

Jack Hench showed an hour later with twenty molecular enhanced henchmen. The man looked to be in shock as he walked around the crater. Ron didn't wait any longer and faded out, beginning his attack with Shego right behind him. Turned out her assistance was not needed as Ron simply cut down the henchmen and knocked out Jack Hench, tossing him into his own car. Ron got in after him and the screams started.

Shego waited outside making sure that none of the police and spectators got close. It was three hours later when the screams stopped and Ron, bathed in blood, came out of the car.

~~~

Their hunt continued as they went after the villains one by one and with how public Jack Hench's execution was, the villains knew they were coming.

The Fashionistas were found during fashion week in Milan. They were running their usual knock off scheme when we literally brought the roof down.

Ron used telekinesis to crush the support beams and like a house of cards under a breeze it crumbled. Then, while everyone was disoriented, Ron led Shego into the building. They found Chino pinned to the ground by a pillar that was crushing his left leg from the knee down. Seeing as he'd had no way to escape, Ron and Shego moved further inside to find Espadrille and Hoodie, which Ron did easily thanks to his Ki control.

"They are under the rubble and very much alive." Ron said before closing his eyes to concentrate.

In a moment, Ron glowed blue and the tons of rubble were lifted off of the area, showing that Espadrille and Hoodie survived by ducking under a production line in time. When both ladies saw who was 'rescuing' them they went hysterical as Espadrille even wet herself in fear. Hoodie tried to fight but she was out of her depth. Ron simply grabbed the leg she kicked out with and like swinging something no heavier than a towel, smacked her around till all fight left her. Then the torture began. When it was done there was no satisfaction just three names off a list.

Then, on their way out they had a fortunate encounter as Camille Leon, only recognized by Debutant, her ever present companion, was walking in the direction of the Fashionistas hideout.

At first Camille froze for a couple of seconds, no doubt recognizing them but confident in her disguise chose to continue ahead as if nothing happened. A mistake she couldn't recover from even when her fate had already been sealed. Camille had yet to take two steps when she felt an incredible impact to her stomach that lifted her clear off her feet.

Then, screams were heard. Raw, primal and completely and utterly filled with fear.

~~~

The Mather was in Go City trying to relocate his Infinity Dome and sadly for the villain, he'd just disabled it's functions when Ron and Shego walked in. Mather's henchmen were quickly cut down and the man himself was incoherent in his pleas for mercy. Constantly bringing up a monkey and that with it everything could go back to normal. The torture merely reinforced his ranting.

~~~

Gill had gone underground, well in his case it should be underwater, to hide from our relentless pursuit. Sadly for the mutant, local fisherman spotted him, getting a photo that circulated in various circles till it came to Ron's and Shego's attention. A trip to the everglades and a challenge to Ron's senses later and Gill's screams echoed throughout the night.

~~~

After the Fashionistas, Gill, Camille Leon and the Mather, they found DNAmy.

When they found DNAmy at Monkey Fist's castle the woman put a ferocious fight. She had transformed into a gorilla and seemed hellbent on cracking time travel. Upon seeing them she demanded they hand over the Tempus Simia which Shego filed for later. The fight was bloody and even Shego helped Ron cut down the waves of mutated beasts.

With bodies all over the place, missing her left arm and her face half melted off, DNAmy refused to stop fighting. They eventually beat her, cutting off her other arm and a leg, then the torture started. Shego had tried to talk Ron out of the torturing but all he said was 'they need to understand'. So here she was, bearing witness to the consequences of the villains actions.

Considering DNAmy's wound, Shego almost hoped the torture would be fast but she turned out to be a fighter. She kept focused on her task insulting Ron and demanding for the Tempus Simia, promising that with it she could fix everything. Just when Shego finally wanted to know more, DNAmy finally died.

"Ron why did you bring the monkey statue with us that day?" Shego asked unable to hold her curiosity.

"Felt a pull from it." Ron replied.

"Give me an hour to see what I can find out." Shego said moving to the pile of schematics and scrolls.

The schematics being beyond her and possibly a bit of gibberish, Shego settled for the scrolls. 40 minutes of going through the scrolls she realized one problem, they weren't translated. Cursing Shego decided to bring them with her.

~~~

After DNAmy they hunted Duff Killigan by using the pride of his life, golf. Ron and Shego simply destroyed his personal golf course and Killigan showed like moth drawn to the flame.

Killigan started by showcasing his expertise with explosives and showering the island with them. Ron for his part simply put a barrier of Ki around him and Shego. Then, they waited for the 'rain' to end.

Just after the last explosions settled, Duff Killigan's scream was heard. "And that's to teach you to respect me golf course."

"Guess that makes it our turn." Ron said bringing out his extendable cylinder.

Then Shego watched as Ron built up momentum in the barrier before dropping it and swinging at the retreating cargo plane. It was reminiscent of swatting a fly. The plane's right wing was separated from the plane and they watched it tilt and begin a rapid decent. By the time Ron and Shego arrived at the crash site, Killigan was dragging his mangled body away from the plane.

"How are ye alive?" Killigan said as Ron closed in on him.

~~~

Aviarius was found hidden in a nature reserve, his condor always nearby for a quick getaway. Too bad for the villain, Ron is able to go into stealth and walk right up to him without alerting him. So it was a couple hours later Ron left the lair without the condor finding out about it's master's demise.

~~~

Gemini took a while to find seeing as he had a fortress that was camouflaged and mobile. It took months of seemingly random searching of the world's oceans to find a trace of his fortress. But eventually his luck ran out as Ron and Shego were at his door.

With no warning whatsoever, Gemini's fortress started rocking from side to side as the sound of a huge explosion was heard. Gemini's henchmen instantly got to work to find the cause while beginning procedures to relocate. Not a minute later and the intruder alert goes off. Gemini saw what was happening and collected his pet, Pepe, making his way to his desk and secret escape pod. After a couple of attempts to launch the pod, Gemini realized he was trapped with what was soon revealed to be Ron and Shego.

Gemini tried to resist to the best of his abilities. He sent his henchmen on sweeps across the fortress but the security camaras showed them getting cut down effortlessly. He knew what was coming and in an attempt to face it head on, Gemini checked his weapons and got ready for the fight of his life.

Shego and Ron made short work of the barricade and strolled into the control room. Gemini for his part only trembled a little for which he was proud given the amount of killing intent Ron was giving off.

"I don't suppose you're willing to hear me out?" Gemini asked.

Neither Ron nor Shego deemed it a question worth answering.

Gemini's trembling stopped altogether and he lifted his prosthetic hand to fire a couple of finger missiles. Shego shot them out of the air and Ron closed the distance to Gemini. And he expected to be run through but what actually happened was much worse.

~~~

Surprisingly, Professor Dementor, Falsetto Jones and Electronique were together in Dementor's lair working on a means to escape. With Electronique's expertise, Dementor's genius and Jones skills they were planning to use the Pan Dimensional Vortex Inducer to travel to a safe dimension. A dimension that would hopefully allowed them to achieve their goals.

The trio had just finished a test to punch a hole in the fabric of the universe when they lost all power across the lair.

"Guess we underestimated the power requirements." Comented Dementor.

"No, the calculations were adequate." Electronique countered, adding. "This was external."

A moment of silence met her statement before Dementor called out. "Henchmen, secure the lab! Make sure nothing gets in!!"

"What's the plan?" Asked Falsetto Jones.

While working Dementor spoke. "We hope the journey is safe and Electronique provides the power we need. This is officially a test under fire."

At his suggestion, Electronique got to work, giving off enough electricity that she started shaking. "I won't be able to maintain this output for long." She warned.

It was a tense few minutes of silence in the lab before Dementor spoke again as a portal started to form. "Now all we need to do is wait for it to stabilize."

As he said that, Dementor looked at Electronique who looked about ready to drop. 'Hold on a little longer!' He pleaded inside his mind while getting closer to the unstable portal. That's when the blast proof doors leading to the lab were blasted of their hinges. Turning to look, Dementor saw his henchmen in pieces with Ron and Shego standing in the doorway. There was a beat of silence where nobody moved before Jones composure broke and he ran towards the unstable portal.

The following events happened simultaneously. First, Ron disappeared from where he stood. Secondly, Shego drew back her hand, charging a plasma bolt. Thirdly, Electronique seemed to run out of juice, freezing in place. And lastly, Dementor tripped over his own legs and fell down.

Then, Falsetto Jones screamed. Dementor turned his head in time to see Jones caught in a ripple from the unstable portal that ripped the man's lower half to its disappearing depths. An explosion to his side drew Dementor's gaze and he saw Electronique being blasted by Shego's plasma bolt. Finally, he felt a strong grip on his shoulder, letting him know where Ron had gone.

The next few hours we're nothing short of a nightmare for Dementor that in some twisted sense brought him relieve that his end was approaching.

~~~

It was two years after they started when they paid Drakken a visit. He was the last, everyone else had already been dealt with. To their surprise he was accompanied by Kim Possible and the new 'Partner', though Ron was always a sidekick. Shego hoped for a split second that their friendship would snap the old Ron back but he was entirely focused on Josh Mankey, Kim's partner.

"Princess you really shouldn't get involved. You don't know what they've done and Ron is not the the Ron you knew anymore." Shego advised.

"Shut it you bitch, this is all your fault!" Screamed Kim. "If you hadn't sunk your claws into him none of this would have happened. Ron wouldn't be wanted by numerous countries around the world and he wouldn't have left me!"

Shego stared and even Josh turned his head to look at Kim but Ron showed no reaction at all focused on Josh's every move.

Ron's voice reached Shego accompanied by a wave of bloodlust. "I'm taking Josh down, keep Kim out of the way."

Shego wanted to ask why, Mankey wasn't why they were here but chose to listen for now, nodding.

The second she nodded Ron was across the room and closing on Mankey. Ron was impossibly fast, his sword at the ready and if Shego wasn't seeing things he was getting faster. Kim tried to bar Ron's way but he simply raced past her like she wasn't even there.

"Josh, look out!" Yelled Kim then asked Ron. "Why are you attacking him?"

Ron didn't bother answering and Kim already began perusing him. As much as Shego wanted to know why she didn't stop to ask, launching a few plasma balls at Kim to intercept her, she began her attack. Shego attacked Kim with the intent to bring her out of the fight as quickly as possible. Ron was acting strangely and Shego needed to have his back.

Kim was wearing her battlesuit so the plasma throwing would be a demerit from here on but it got her attention. Kim turned to Shego, her anger plain to see and disappeared from sight. Kim expected Shego to panic but Shego had gone over countermeasures for invisible foes with Ron. Reaching into her leg pocket, Shego brought out a few paint pellets. The next part always sucked, she had to be hit but Shego at least guessed where Kim would hit her. The face, Kim had always hit to the face when she was angry. Clenching her teeth Shego took the expected hit, probably a right punch and countered with a paint pellet.

Her attack struck Kim in the chest, spraying the area green. With a target, Shego took the initiative to attack, paint pellets still in hand, she might see Kim's torso but her hands and feet were the threat. The strike aiming for Kim's chest was blocked and Shego threw another pellet at what out to be an arm but misjudged its location hitting Kim in the face. Miss or hit the effect was great as Kim wiped at her face exposing an opening and both her hands. Shego didn't miss it, she threw every paint pellet at Kim and attacked right after. Shego went for a chokehold, pinning Kim to the ground and taking a look at Ron's fight.

What she saw was outstanding, Josh was surprisingly holding on against Ron in terms of strength though his speed was falling behind. Ron was still speeding up and his bloodlust covered the area like rain. Shego looked for the telltale signs of a battlesuit but saw nothing that gave it away. It should have been impossible for the seemingly normal Mankey to keep up with Ron, though Ron had yet to use Ki in the fight his body had been exponentially strengthened by it.

As Shego watched, she relaxed her hold on Kim ever so slightly, giving Kim an opening to activate her shield. The shield threw Shego across the room and she berated herself for loosing focus. Shego knew about the shield yet she'd given Kim enough time to think to use it. Although a quick knockout was not an option anymore at least the paint made going invisible pointless.

Getting off the floor, Shego continued the fight with Kim. Kim seemed to be intent on beating Shego at the moment, solving Shego's worry that she'd interfere in Ron's fight. Though the redhead seemed to have also missed her new partner accomplishing an unbelievable feat.

Shego kept attacking Kim in an exchange of punches and kicks, occasionally activating her plasma to drain the battlesuit's power supply. Still, Shego was taking some hard hits thanks to Kim's hit and run style and was going to wake up with a few bruises in the morning. Taking another hit, this time to the jaw, Shego kneed Kim's solar plexus. Seeing Kim turn on her shield to catch her breath, Shego brought out the plasma to drain the power supply. Kim seemed to have finally panicked a bit and started to look around, when she spotted Josh's fight her request for help died in her throat. Their fight that impressive, but more unbelievable than Ron's level of skill was Josh's.

Just when Kim thought she wouldn't be surprised anymore, Josh pulled out a highly modified lazer gun, firing and forcing Ron to open some distance between the two. Kim's gasp in the silence was like thunder as even Shego looked up finally seeing what surprised her. It was the same gun the hooded figure carried with him, the same gun that killed Yori. From Kim's trembling, Shego knew she connected the dots.

"Josh?" Kim said unsure.

Josh ignored her and asked Ron. "What gave me away, loser?"

Ron didn't answer, simply reaching into his pocket and bringing out the cylinder that extended at will. Shego knew Ron was done testing the opponent out and was moving in for the kill, judging from the style he was about to use.

Kim finally started crying, realizing that her boyfriend and the person who once nearly killed her were one and the same.

Shego finally understood some things. Why Ron's bloodlust practically burst out when he saw Josh, he read his aura connecting Josh to the hooded figure. Why was Josh able to hold on against Ron, he was probably enhanced through science or other means. Seeing Kim was probably not going to fight anymore Shego flared her plasma and got ready to attack, but Ron moved to stand between her and Josh, message clear, I'll handle him. Reluctantly accepting for now Shego retracted her plasma.

Ron confirmed that Shego accepted and moved in for the attack. He first let go of the cylinder and telekineticaly began manipulating it. Extending and retracting the cylinder to simulate thrusts, Ron closed the distance. Shego's eyes barely followed Ron, his movements almost reaching the limits that her eyes could percieve. Ron going on the offensive was a scary thing to witness even for Shego. His speed, precision and waves of attacks, were like fighting multiple opponents.

Josh's demeanor showed the pressure he was under. As Ron approached he fired a few shots to slow him down but they proved ineffective. When Ron finally closed in on him he brought out a knife and started firing shots faster and faster just to keep from being overwhelmed by Ron. This too proved useless as Ron blocked with the staff or evaded them altogether. Josh's knife started chipping as Ron attacked with the sword. Ron was in constant motion, attacking every opening if there was any or creating them by attacking multiple places at once. Wounds started appearing on Josh, his face distorting into desperation little by little. Josh tried shooting Ron at point blank range by taking a stab to the arm but failed as Ron channeled Ki into the sword and cut off half of Josh's arm and the gun, the fight was over.

"Ron don't!" Kim had snapped from her shock when she saw this.

Ron didn't stop, he continued attacking till Josh was nothing but a head, then roared loud enough to shake dust from the ceiling. Kim still went after Ron, to do what Shego didn't know, but Ron simply jabbed a few pressure points and knocked her out.

Drakken escaped during the chaos.

~~~

Drakken managed to avoid them for another week with the help of GJ, till Ron decided to burn the organization to the ground. Shego thought it would have been hard but Ron simply hacked his way into their systems and found their locations. They then attacked each base and demolished them from the inside. Ron didn't forget to take their funds as he crippled them. When they got to the GJ headquarters, Betty Director tried to compromise, offering to hand over Drakken if Ron would only return their funds. Ron simply attacked.

Efficiently and as precise as a machine, Ron led Shego charging at GJ HQ and cutting down all resistance like mowing the lawn. Will Du while leading a defensive squad thought he had it in him to put a stop to Ron, challenged him and even with the aid of his squad, lasted a total 3 seconds. Dr Director thought to stall for aid with the facility lockdown but her head rolled as she bravely stood by her subordinates. An hour later they brought a crying Drakken out. Shego thought to spare Drakken the torture on account of their history so she had Ron simply behead him.

With their revenge over, they dissapeared for a while.

~~~

They had spent six months in seclusion and from what Shego could tell, Ron had no intention to do anything besides training, even becoming intimate with her seemed beyond him.

Shego for her part continued translating the scrolls they got at Monkey Fist's castle and working on having an Attitudedinator built. So far she had little success, all she knew was that the monkey statue was called Tempus Simia translated as time monkey but had no idea how it was used. It must have been how the villains knew that Ron would always stop them, they'd gone to the future and seen it themselves. Now thanks to that knowledge they were dead.

It was all calm in the house they were at, till Ron walked into the study and turned on the news. He said nothing and let her digest what she was seeing. There stood an eight to ten feet tall green skinned alien calling herself Warmonga, demanding to see the great blue. Beside her was projected a video of Drakken from when he participated in America's Star Maker. When it was explained that her great blue was killed six months prior, she demanded to face the warrior responsible within the hour or she'd destroy one of their cities. By the time Ron was notified by Sensei, three cities had been destroyed and the world's military had lasted all but three minutes to her war machines. Even now cities continued to fall.

"We have to face her." Shego announced.

Ron looked at Shego for a moment before nodding and going to get ready. Shego followed suit and in minutes they were in the hangar with Shego ready to pilot their hypersonic hovercraft. They found Warmonga easily since she waited in the same place for them. Leaving the hovercraft in stealth mode a mile away, they went on Shego's hoverboard the rest of the way.

Warmonga didn't seem surprised by their arrival and simply asked. "Were you the one that defeated the great blue."

"I was." Said Ron looking her in the eyes.

"I, Warmonga, demand the right to challenge you in combat." She screamed.

"Your death." Ron said agreeing.

The fight started as soon as Ron agreed with Warmonga throwing a wicked looking spear. Ron took out the staff and deflected the spear before letting it go as he jumped down. Ron was going all out from the start it seemed. As they fought the area around them was getting destroyed, any landmarks were replaced by craters as the force of their blows spread. Shego hadn't seen Ron use so much force before, surprising her that he could. Warmonga seemed equally surprised, hitting a button on her wrist that called her weapon back to her. Ron didn't wait, using the staff he kept her weapon away while he attempted to cut down Warmonga. His attacks ineffective as she activated a shield.

Ron pulled back his staff allowing Warmonga to get her weapon to see if it'll get her to drop the shield. Seeing her do so, he drew forth more Ki, it wrapping around him like a blue monkey, the staff at the tip of the tail. Lightning flickered and Ron levitated off the ground, while monkey howling was heard.

"Great Blue!" Warmonga called out before dropping to her knees, her body trembling. "Stop, I was wrong!"

"How you call me matters not, stop your war machines." Ron demanded.

Warmonga pressed a few buttons at her wrist and said. "It is done."

"Good." Ron said before promptly beheading her.

Every choice has consequences. Ron's did too. Three months later an armada invaded the earth. They took no prisoners. Earth's population dropped to a few hundred thousand in a day and to a few hundred the next.

Ron continued going from one battle to the next. Taking down war machines and hunting parties. He was unbeatable but the rest of the planet suffered. The Lowardians, as they called themselves, hunted down every human and animal, burning every plant life they could find. The sea was drained and it's animals hunted. When they found no one left, their mightiest warriors came daily to challenge Ron, none returned.

Then one day, Ron didn't return.

~~~

Shego sat in her bed looking at an older version of herself. One, who upon intruding in her home, proceeded to promptly defeat her before telling her a story. Shego could tell the heartache her older self went through even though she didn't entirely believe her story.

"You're telling me this is our future?" Shego asked. "That I would end up with Ron, become pregnant but because of that statue it will all go down the drain? That we will loose everyone we care about even each other."

"Yes." Her older self replied.

"Then why are you here? You can travel through time, why not make it so that none of that happens." Shego demanded.

"I've tried." Her older self replies. "I took over the world, I made it so no one precious to me would be hurt. Then I watched as the Lowardians followed Drakken's lead and turned the world into rivers of blood. That's why I'm here. I thought maybe you could take the monkey statue and succeed where I failed. If you won't then I can only ask Ron."

"Wait!" Shego screamed thinking quickly and deciding that she couldn't let Ron take that burden. "I'll do it."

When her older self gave her the statue Shego turned and smashed it against the floor. A vortex appeared in the roof of the room.

"Why did you break it?" Her older self asked.

"That statue was the reason everything went wrong." Shego said simply. "As the villains searched for it Yori died. When they had it you lost Ron and your child. The world would be better without it."

With a smirk her older self asked. "What if this destroys the world?"

"One way to know." Shego said watching as everything around her dissapeared.

~~~

Shego woke up with a start. Sweat glistened her body and soaked Ron's jersey that she'd taken to use as sleepwear. There was a strong urge to check on Yori. Checking her phone, Shego saw it was just past five in the morning and thought to call later but the urge to check on Yori won out. As the phone rang Shego held her breath. With each ring her desperation building, Shego counted but it was only the second ring.

In the middle of the third ring Yori's voice came on the line. "Is everyth-"

"Yori, thank god you're okay. You're okay, right? You haven't been hurt? I'm on my way!" Shego said, her feeling to physically inspect Yori now a priority.

"Shego-san, I am okay, I was merely resting. Now tell me what has happened to make you so worried?" Yori asked after trying to calm Shego down.

"That's the thing, nothing happened. I woke up with a strong urge to check on your safety and even as I talk to you on the phone it's only gotten stronger." Shego explained before adding. "I'm coming to see you, I'll be there in a couple hours."

"Very well Shego-san, I recommend you bring a swimsuit." Yori said with a smile.

~~~

Yori had just ended the call with Shego when someone knocked on her door. Feeling Ron's aura on the other side, Yori smiled and rushed to the door, opening it. One thing she forgot to do before opening the door, was check the state of her clothes. As it was, Ron's jersey that she was wearing was still tucked into her underwear. When she opened the door, Ron seemed not to notice the state of Yori's clothes, giving her a hug. Then he inspected her body before finally noticing the state of her clothes and blushing profusely.

"I didn't mean to interrupt." Ron said before correcting himself. "I mean, I just needed to check on you. I have this feeling that it might be the last time I see you. Can I hold you for a while?"

Yori had blushed when she realized what Ron meant by interrupting and quickly pulled down the jersey. After hearing Ron explain a similar thing to Shego, Yori began to worry. 'Could it be an omen? I must speak with Sensei.' She thought. When Ron's request registered, Yori gladly accepted seeing at it was only a matter of time till they make their dream a reality.

When Ron saw her nod, he quickly brought her into a hug. Yori could still hear his heart race as she laid her head on his chest. After Yori wrapped her arms around him, Ron sighed and his heart began to calm. A long time later Ron released his hug, but still held onto Yori's hands.

"I'll let you get back to sleep." Ron said but his body refused to move.

Yori could see his reluctance from Ron's obvious lack of action and with a mischievous smile proposed. "You can always join me in bed."

Yori's meaning was open to interpretation, whether to be intimate or just sleep in the same bed was left for Ron to decide. It was a bold move for Yori, but after the dream they shared it felt like the right thing to do. Ron's decision was immediate as he guided Yori to the bed but his choice was still a mystery to her. When Ron pulled the cover off the bed Yori's building excitement diminished. 'Looks like sleeping in the same bed.' She thought.

~~~

Ron picked up on Yori's disappointment, feeling it instead of seeing and adjusted his plans accordingly. Letting go of the cover Ron turned and pulled Yori onto his lap. Ron looked into Yori's eyes and saw the excitement and anticipation there, as well as her care for him. With a gentle but steady hand Ron took hold of Yori's face and brought her lips to him. She didn't resist.

The kiss was slow, gentle pecks at first. Building momentum till it deepened into a bout of dominance with their tongues. Ron submitted to her lead after a while and Yori seemed eager for the chance to show her feelings. The kiss continued till they had to break for air, at which point Yori broke contact and began pulling his shirt off. Ron returned the favor, dropping the jersey onto the bed. Yori pushed Ron back and kissed him for a moment as she trailed downwards. Ron knew her intentions and gave a gentle tug on her thigh, she understood what he meant, standing briefly to remove her panties before moving to straddle his face.

Ron had pushed off his shorts and underwear when Yori stood, freeing his erection. With Yori straddling his face he could tell how wet she was and relished the thought of taking her over the edge. As she stroked the length of his penis, Ron gave her pussy a slow lick soliciting a moan. As Yori brought his penis into her mouth Ron's body trembled, the sensation taking his breath away. Still, he didn't forget her and began making sure Yori enjoyed herself too. With the moans leaving her lips and her hips beginning to move Ron knew he was doing it right. When Yori began pulling away Ron grabbed her ass and even as he kneaded it, brought her pussy closer to his face. Yori was reaching her orgasm, Ron could practically taste it, increasing his efforts. He sent her over the edge, when he started making shapes with his tongue while it was inside her. His own orgasm hadn't been far and Ron came when she played with the tip of his penis.

Ron caught his breath after making sure Yori rode her orgasm for what he estimated to be a few minutes. Satisfied with his work, Ron moved Yori to lie on the bed and moved atop her, Yori's legs split over his. Ron didn't put it inside of her right away, choosing to remove her bra and noticed the star above her heart, wondering briefly why he didn't see it during the dream. As he waited for Yori to come back to him, Ron sucked on her niple while his hands kneaded her breast. Moaning softly, Yori sighed Ron's name as she took hold of his penis, letting Ron know she was lucid. As Yori guided him inside her, Ron kissed her gently and when he met resistance he pushed through it in one go hoping to make it easier for her.

Yori inhaled sharply making Ron think he messed up and should have pushed through slowly instead. He was starting to panic until Yori grabbed ahold of his face kissed him. "I'm okay, continue."

"But..." Ron said hesitating and finishing in his mind. 'I don't want to hurt you.'

Yori smiled and started to move her hips to encourage him, moaning all the while. Ron relaxed upon seeing this and began to move. Once again, Ron let his instincts drive him, thrusting at a slow cadence and looking into Yori's eyes. The more Ron looked at Yori, really looked, he confirmed what was already there. Even as he been in love with Kim, Ron had quietly fallen in love with Yori. What else would explain his feelings and the fact he picked up a language for her. When realization hit him, Ron smiled and kissed Yori, increasing the speed of his thrusts.

Yori's moans were a song to him and Ron took great pleasure in hearing her sing. As he thrusted, Ron felt that she was close and almost climaxed on the spot. Being with Yori took his stamina and reduced it incredibly with how great her pussy felt, making Ron wonder if it was because of love or Yori's innate talent. Either way his pride refused to let him cum first this time. Leaning back a little, Ron reached for Yori's breast and began fondling them for a bit before leaning in and biting lightly at her erect nipple. The effect was immediate as the new and sudden stimuli sent Yori into her orgasm with Ron pulling out and having his own.

After a while Ron laid down on the bed and pulled Yori into his arms. Now on their side, with Yori's back to Ron, her head on his arm and Ron's erect penis between her legs. As he hugged her closer, Ron tried to resist putting it back in though it was a quickly loosing battle as Yori slid her pussy along his shaft in the throes of her orgasm. Without a second of thought Ron put his penis back in, deciding to test the extent of his stamina.

Ron knew they had plans for the day, but he felt so emotionally and physically good he couldn't help but keep going. He had three more orgasms and the sun was already visible yet Ron felt like he was working on his first, it was incredible. After pulling out to cum a fifth time, Ron decided he better stop before one of his guests realized what he was doing.

With a sudden idea, Ron got up to get the shower ready.

~~~

Yori was on cloud nine. She and Ron had finally embraced each other. No longer would she doubt that he understood her feelings. And from what she could tell, their compatibility was great. After her second orgasm she had wanted more and within little time Ron was able to keep going. From there on it was a dream, Ron's energy endless as he took care of her needs. Yori lost coherent thought here and there but never long enough to not share the moment with Ron.

As Ron picked her up, Yori was lucid again, her smile wide. When Ron walked towards the door Yori briefly thought of the other people in the house seeing her and Ron, but dismissed it as a concern since they would be seeing her happiness. Ron opened and closed the door without so much as a touch, doing the same to the bathroom door, showing Yori that he was further along on his training than she thought, filing it for later.

"Why are we in the bathroom, Ron-san?" Yori asked genuinely curious.

"I thought I'd help you clean up." Ron said as he gently lowered her into the shower.

Yori was ecstatic with the idea, showering together seemed like a wonderful way to start the day. As it turns out Ron was serious about helping her clean up. Grabbing the soap, Ron gently began washing Yori, he was meticulous in his care. By the end of it Yori felt like Ron had massaged her body instead of helping her wash. Yori wanted to return the favor but Ron was adamant that it was not necessary, still Yori held firm till he at least agreed to let her wash his back.

After the shower, Yori stood in front of the mirror and noticed the new mark above her heart.

"What's this?" She said, in her surprise switching to Japanese.

Ron joined her in her native tongue and asked. "What's wrong?"

"This mark was not here before today." Yori stated.

"I did wondered why I didn't see it last night." Ron said causing Yori to lightly blush as he continues. "Is it causing you any discomfort? We can go to the hospital for a check up."

"No discomfort so I will wait for today." Yori said bringing the matter to a temporary end.

Once through with other morning necessities Ron offered to bring Yori back to her room, but she smiled, kissed him and walked away with a sway to her hips for his benefit. When she entered her room Yori's smiled widened a bit and she almost jumped in excitement. She couldn't help but be happy right now.

As Yori looked around the room she saw the sheets needed to be washed and removed them from the bed before putting them in the hamper. Shortly after, Yori was dressed and leaving her room to see if the others were awake.

~~~

Monique was the first to wake up, at least she thought so, as she looked around the livingroom and saw the sleeping Tara and Bonnie. Seeing this as a chance she quietly extricated herself from the bed of pillows Ron made them the night before and went upstairs. She found Ron's room easily enough since the door was left open.

Monique noticed that the shower was running and since Ron wasn't in his room figured it was him. Monique briefly debated waiting for him and giving him a little surprise, but with so many people in the house she couldn't muster the courage. Turning to leave she saw Ron's closet open and a set of his hockey jerseys, getting an idea. 'Ron won't miss one or two jerseys.' Monique thought as with a smile she took two before quickly going downstairs to put them in her overnight bag.

Turns out Monique wasn't the only one who took a suvounier from Ron's closet that morning, as one by one Tara and Bonnie would do the same after they woke up and went to surprise Ron that morning. Although they couldn't surprise Ron they were satisfied to wait for now.

~~~

When Ron went downstairs he felt a bit embarrassed remembering the dream they had shared and when he looked at Monique she broke eye contact after blushing profusely.

Bonnie and Tara seemed excited, though they did blush a little.

Sighing, Ron spoke. "There is something I need to tell you, but for now what do you guys want for breakfast?"

Ron then saw as Tara exchanges a look with Bonnie before they both looked at Monique and then back at him.

Tara speaks first. "I'm down for whatever as long as you make it."

"Me too." Says Monique.

"Same." Bonnie agrees.

"Okay, I can work with that." Ron says before reminding them. "Bathroom's free if anyone needs it."

"I'll go first if you don't mind." Monique said and after getting a nod from Bonnie and Tara grabbed her stuff heading upstairs.

A few minutes after Monique went upstairs, Yori came down catching Tara and Bonnie fascinated watching Ron in the kitchen. Ron was aware of his surroundings and greeted. "Morning, Yori."

"Morning, Ron... -san." Yori greeted though she tried to be less formal the implied intimacy was hard for her to openly express.

Ron smiled as he said. "You almost had it this time."

"Almost." Yori agreed.

"That reminds me after we eat Yori and I are going for a run. When we get back we can go to the lake." Ron said since he didn't want to break his exercise routine unless an emergency came up.

"Couldn't we just go on the morning run with you?" Asked Tara.

"Of course you can." Ron agreed before adding. "If you can't keep up though I want you to meet us back here at your own pace."

"We can do that but what makes you think we won't be able to keep up?" Asked Bonnie.

"Don't get me wrong that's a precaution so you don't hurt yourselves trying to catch up." Ron said looking extremely serious.

"We won't push ourselves Ron." Said Monique coming downstairs dressed for a run.

"That's all I ask." Ron said and turned back to the dishes he was cooking while Bonnie went to the livingroom to get her stuff for a shower.

As Ron cooked he suddenly remembered he left Rufus in his room and wondered if the little guy could smell the food yet. After there was enough food for everyone Ron started making Rufus something special. As he was adding shredded cheese to the pan Ron started counting backwards from thirty to see how long before Rufus reacted. Just when he got past seventeen he heard scratching coming from the livingroom. 'Thirteen seconds, he must have been tired.' Ron thought as he reached out and caught a racing Rufus.

"Rufus, you know you have to get cleaned first." Ron said.

"Hnk, sucks." Rufus complained.

"I know buddy, but it's for your own good." Ron tried to convince him.

"Fine." Rufus agreed moving towards the sink.

"Thanks buddy, I'll even go light on the veggies this time." Ron appeased Rufus.

"Cheese." Rufus replied.

"Fine, extra cheese too." Ron agreed.

With that Ron finished making the meal and everyone but Rufus waited for Tara before eating.
