I'm No Genie- Chapter one
Rating: M
Pairing: KiGo, Mo/Rach
Summary: Kim Possible, world known Hero and full time Archeologist, finds a small valuable necklace on one of her trips. Unfortunately- or maybe fortunately?- throwing herself into a part of the world she never knew existed. Shego, an immortal who was trapped in a necklace over a few thousand years ago, has come to terms that she will never be free again. That is, of course, until Kim stumbles upon the necklace, and unknowingly calls out to her for help. For some reason that Shego can't fathom, Kim has decided to help her get her 'life' back. Can she learn to trust another person after all she's been through?
A/N: An idea that came to mind. Every one who read the preview seemed to like it. So, yeah gonna write it now. Hopefully the idea doesn't slip away from me. Oh! And expect to see Rachel in this one! She'll be just like she was in New Beginnings, personality wise; but this time she's... Mm... You'll find out.
Don't own the show. Pointless to sue, don't got money.
Enjoy! ^^
You know, the one question I am constantly asked is Why? I always give the answer; Because I like it. But, then it's at times like this, that I wonder why I do what I do.
I'm sorry. Let me back up a bit and tell you who I am and what I do.
My name is Kim Possible; I have red hair that has a very light orange tint to it, olive green eyes. I'm not tall, yet not short; though, now that I think about it, I guess 5'7" isn't really all that short. Oh well. I have a friend named Ron Stoppable who travels the world with me, though he is slowly starting to back out of it all to be with his girlfriend Yori. My other friend, Monique, is starting to take Ron's place with going with me. She's studying fashion and will be done in a few weeks. Once done, she says she's going to travel with me to help me, but we both know it's so she can see all the different fashions in the world.
I am known world wide as a hero. Though it's not my main job; it doesn't pay the bills or put food in my stomach. I'm an Archeologist full time, and at this moment in time, I am stuck in a pyramid in Egypt. Ron had been his clumsy self and caused the roof to cave in...
"Of Fuck! Damnit Ron!" I yelled as I dodged another beam intent on landing on my head. Ron yelped out a 'sorry' and we continued to duck and dodge. I had been holding something of significant value- well actually two things, but one I planned on keeping as a keepsake- when the thin vase rolled out of my hands and as I tried to grab it, a beam fell down.
It was going to land on me, I knew it. So I closed my eyes, breathed in deep, and hoped to what ever higher being was out there, that I survived this. I waited several minutes, but nothing happened, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that everything was frozen.
"Who are you?" A soft voice called out.
I turned to look around, but saw nothing, "Where are you?" I countered.
"Behind you."
I turned to look, and my breath caught. A tall woman with black hair, very pale green complexion, and emerald eyes stared at me. She was at least 5'10" in height, and she looked toned and fit to the point that there was no way in hell she would be described as anything but hot. She had no shoes on, wore pale tan pants that hung loosely off her hips, and a sleeveless robe like shirt that showed off her stomach, that was showing a hint of a six pack, and her bound chest.
"I ask again. Who are you?" She asked.
"Kim Possible. Who are you?"
"Shego."
I couldn't help but frown at her answer, "Shego? That's it? That sounds kind of boring."
"Yeah, well. Bite me. I don't know who you are, so I'm not going to give my real name."
"Fine. Then tell me how you did that. Please." I asked.
"What's the world like today?"
"Normal. What does that have to do with anything?"
She sighed, "There isn't any people with powers of any sort? It'll help me explain better."
"There's a few, but not many." I answered, still thoroughly confused.
"I'm immortal. I can do nearly anything I want."
I looked at her as if she had grown two heads. It should have made me laugh, there was no such thing as immortals; they were only legend. But, as I looked around, I guess that things like this don't just happen everyday. So I would give her the benefit of the doubt.
"Alright. Prove it."
She looked at me blankly before waving her hand. A beam far off in the room fell down as it was released from its hold. I think my jaw unhinged itself as I watched.
"Now. Tell me why you're holding my necklace."
"I found it, and decided to keep it for myself."
Shego frowned at me, "Why keep something that isn't yours?"
"A memento. To remember the time I spent here. Where did you come from? I didn't see you walk in."
"I'm trapped in that necklace. Hence the reason it's mine."
I looked at her, then down at the necklace in my hand. I had gotten over the 'stealing of dead people's things' years ago, but if this was hers, then I had no right to have it.
"Here then." I said, holding it out to her.
She shook her head at me, "It would be pointless to try and give it to me. I can't hold it. Besides, the moment you let that thing go, the world goes back into motion and you'll get hurt."
"So you can only use magic when someone is holding it?"
"In a sense, yes. Though, it wasn't really called 'magic' in the past."
"How old are you?"
"I stopped aging at the age of 21. I've been immortal for well over a few thousand years now."
I nodded, though I was still slightly confused by it all. I had more questions, but I really needed to get Ron out of this or Yori would probably kill me.
"Shego-"
In a flash Ron and I were standing outside the pyramid with the things we had gotten. The necklace glowed for a second before going back to normal. But as Ron fired of question after question while we headed home, I couldn't help but think that my life might not be so 'normal' anymore.
I think I might shoot someone. Really, I think I might.
We had boarded our plane, sat down in our seats and waited for take off. Ron had developed this habit of rambling on about ours digs years ago, and this was the first time in a while that I was able to fall asleep during one. But, then he had to wake me up to ask me more questions, so now, thousands of feet above land, I had to sit and listen to my friend ramble. It was giving me a headache; I just wanted to sleep, was that so bad?
"Come on KP! Don't you wonder how that happened?"
I know how it happened Ronald; I'm just not going to tell you.
"KP!"
"No Ron. Now can I please go to sleep?"
He grumbled something I ignored and turned to the attendant that past by. I turned back to the window and closed my eyes, hoping to get some sleep, but...
"So KP."
"Can I kill him?"
I held back the flinch as I heard Shego's voice in my head.
"No." I mumbled out loud as I looked at Ron.
"Please? It's starting to annoy me."
"No what KP?"
"Nothing Ron, go to sleep." I told him, turning my head again and closing my eyes.
We had a smooth landing and we collected our bags before leaving. Now, as I stand here in the museum that had hired me; holding back a yawn, I wonder again why I chose this job.
The manager has been rambling on about how important all the things I found are, and I really want to just yell at him. I was too polite to do so though, so I'm stuck standing here being bored.
"Ms. Possible, why do you have an artifact in your pocket?"
I looked down at my pockets, I had my hands buried in them at the beginning of this rant, and as I looked closer I could see that the chain from Shego's necklace was dangling out of the pocket.
"Because I'm keeping it." I answered him as I looked back up.
"But any thing you find belongs to us." He growled.
I shook my head, "Read the contract thoroughly. It says that I am allowed to pick any one item I want, whether I wait till it's all back here or if I find it at the sight."
"It is ours."
"No." I stated, "Now, I'm going to go get my payment from the receptionist." I added, turning around and leaving his office. Ron followed behind me, and we got our money and left. Ron went home; this was his last round, to finish his packing. I on the other hand, went home, intent on sleeping for the next three days.
The next time I woke up, I dragged myself to the bathroom and stared at my reflection. There were dark circles under my eyes and I couldn't stop the yawn that slipped from my throat.
"You look dead."
My eyes snapped open and I looked at Shego in the mirror, I turned to see if she was standing behind me, but she wasn't.
"You'll see me when you look into anything that shows your reflection. Only you'll be able to see me though."
"Ok, what can't you do?"
I watched as Shego shrugged, "I can't grant wishes."
"Wishes?" I asked, a confused look crossing my face. That made no sense.
"Mm. I'm not a genie."
I looked at her,
"Stop staring Princess."
"Huh?" I mumbled, then shook my head, "Why are you trapped?" I asked as my hand moved up to touch the necklace I had put on before going to bed.
"I got stupid." She mumbled, looking down, "My only friend was given a death sentence for supposedly stealing something. I took her place instead. My soul was stripped from my body and confined to that damnedable necklace."
"So, you can't get out?"
"I could. My body hasn't 'died' yet. But I don't know the incantation needed to send me back to my body."
I closed my eyes in thought for a second, "Have any idea where you need to start?"
"What would you care?"
"I save people. I'm going to help you."
I heard her sigh and saw her shake her head, "You could try other pyramids. I don't know where to look though."
"Will you be able to tell if it's close?"
"As long as you're wearing the necklace, I'll be able to. But only if it's something with magical components."
I nodded then reached up to take the necklace off.
"Hey!"
"I'm taking a shower, I'll put you back on when I'm out and dressed. Then we're going to see a friend before we start looking for the spell."
"Fine."
I set the piece of jewelry down on the counter, in the corner and away from the sink itself, and got ready for the day. It looked like Monique was going to be helping me sooner, rather than later.
A/N: Ok, that's it for chapter one. I haven't written in 1st person in a long time, so I'm going to be working on that as much as I can. Hopefully the next chapter has more detail to it.
Hope you Enjoyed! Reviews are welcomed, but not really expected. ^^
