Summary- AU Kigo. Kim Possible- completely average teenager in every way shape and form. Until she discovers a secret power, which leads to a chance encounter.
Authors Note- Does anyone even still read Kigo? My first story in at least 3 years, and after a near insatiable fanfiction kick hit me, I've decided to return to where it all started. This pairing will forever be my favorite.
Trying something new here, and it may take a while to get into the swing of things. Sadly, I'm no good at taking things slow in my writing, but hopefully I can manage it a bit this time around.
Read, review, enjoy.
Kim Possible pulled the sleeves of her worn out pink sweater down farther over her palms. It was chilly in the park this evening. The sun had just set, and shadows littered the ground, causing the little redheaded teenager to feel unsettled.
Shoving her cold hands into the front pocket of her sweater, Kim trudged along the dimly lit path a little quicker. She wasn't suppose to be out this late, especially not alone. Her mother was going to throw a fit when she got home.
A soft mew to her left caused her to jump, her paranoia getting the best of her as she landed in a defensive fighting stance. The small black feline looked at her quizzingly, meowing softly at her once again. Kim chuckled at it, and crouched down, holding out a hand to it. The kitten sniffed at her curiously, before taking a step back, it's eyes narrowing at the redhead. It let out a low growl, followed by a long hiss.
Kim pierced her lips together, eyeing the creature. She retracted her hand, and stood up. She playfully swished a leg out towards it, effectively shooing it away.
She turned back towards her desired route, and was about to resume her walk home when she heard the cat growl again. This time, however, it was followed by a sickening cry. Kim turned abruptly in the direction the cat had headed. She didn't see it anymore, but she could sense something was wrong.
The cat continued to cry out in pain as Kim skid to a halt in front of a very large tree. Her eyes widened as she watched the cat give one last cry, before falling silent.
A short, chubby creature sat hunched over the dead cat, it's long, thick claws tearing into still warm flesh. It had short, stubby legs and long arms, and it's belly jutted out at an extreme angle. It tore a chunk of muscle from the cat, fur and all, and shoved it greedily into a large, fanged mouth.
The creature chewed viciously at the flesh, it's hand digging for more meat. A sickening, wet, ripping ripping sound filled Kim's ears at it tore apart the cat, shoving it's face with more before it was even finished chewing the first bit. Kim couldn't help but gag at the sight.
The creature heard her, it's head whipping around to look at Kim. She saw it's little, beady red eyes for the first time. A chill ran down her spine as it narrowed it's eyes. It dropped the bloody guts that it was about to eat.
Kim yelped as the chubby mass shot towards her, holding it's sharp talons out in front of it. Kim managed to sidestep the attack, before the creature flung itself back at her again. Swiping it's claws, it caught Kim's sweater, tearing it. Kim looked down at the tattered fabric in disbelief, before she whipped her head up to watch the small creature approach her again.
Kim threw her hands up in a fighting stance. Her heart pounded as she prayed for her years martial arts training to not fail her now. The thing lunged again, but this time Kim caught it square in the forehead with her fist. She could feel her hand sink into the pudgy folds of the creatures face, before it bounced back off the punch. It let out an angry cry.
Kim's heart soared as she moved her fist back to guard her face. The punch was surprisingly exhilarating. She smirked as the creature looked up at her, it's eyes narrowing in anger. She bounced back and forth on the balls of her feet.
It shot once more at her, but the redhead felt confident this time. She swung a leg out at it's body, and was shocked when it didn't connect. Instead, the creature grabbed onto her limb, sharp claws digging into her flesh, and used it to launch itself square into the teen's chest.
The wind was knocked clear out of Kim's lungs, and she staggered back a few steps before falling back. The back of her head hit the ground hard, the black creature clinging to the flimsy fabric of her torn sweater. She could almost hear the thing give a raspy cackle as it raised one taloned hand to the sky. Kim squeezed her eyes shut tightly, flinching from the anticipated blow. Her mind screamed inside her head.
Someone help me! Please!
A bright, green light flashed behind Kim's eyes, and the nearly suffocating weight on top of her was thrown off. She heard the creature give a ear piercing shriek as it rolled around in the dirt. It was engulfed in green and black flames. It cried and bellowed as it used it claws to drag itself across the ground, trying trying to douse the flames. Kim gagged as the smell of charred flesh hit her nose, her eyes welling up with tears.
It was horrible to watch as the stumpy black creature cried and writhed in misery. Giving one last yelp, the creature exploded into dust, leaving a small pile where it last lay.
Kim let out a choked sob, her knees coming to her chest as she hugged them tightly. She wiped her nose with the back of her sleeve. She gulped for air between sobs, her body shivering from fear and disgust of what just happened.
She let herself cry for a few minutes longer, before the feeling of being watched slowly sank over her. She snapped her head up, surveying the park. It was empty. The feeling didn't go away, however, and she quickly scrambled to her feet.
Adrenaline pumped through her system as she realized that something else had attacked the monster. Something obviously stronger. She spun quickly around in a circle, her hands coming up up to guard her face in a defensive move.
The park was suddenly quiet, the air thick with tension. The hair on the back of Kim's neck stood on end.
A strong wind picked up around the teenager, whipping her long red locks around wildly. A small funnel of dirt and leaves kicked up, circling around Kim twice before stopping directly in front of her. It grew in size and strength until Kim could barely stand her ground. She brought an arm up to shield her face from the increasing amount of shrapnel.
As suddenly as it started, it stopped. Kim hesitated, her eyes still tightly shut behind her arm, before slowly taking a peek in front of her.
A woman stood where the tornado was, her long, raven hair disheveled from the wind. She looked exotic- high cheekbones with a white, nearly green skin tone. Her brilliant emerald green eyes were wide, staring at Kim. Black painted lips hung open slightly from shock, revealing sharp teeth. Weirdest of all, however, was that perched on top of black locks sat two thick, green horns.
Kim stared back, looking just as shocked. A breeze whipped both women's long hair to the side. She watched a pink tongue dart across the other's bottom lip in a nervous gesture.
"Queen...?" The black haired woman's voice waivered. A long, forked black tail swished behind her anxiously.
Kim opened her mouth, but quickly shut it. She repeated the motion a dozen times. Her heart pounded loudly in her ears as her brain couldn't decide whether to run, or fight. The other woman's eyebrows furrowed.
"No, you're not her." She strode forward, catching Kim's chin in between a thumb and forefinger before the smaller girl could react. The black haired woman turned it from side to side, her eyes examining every inch of skin before staring intently into green eyes. "No. Your soul is way too young."
Kim shook the hands away from her face, a frown forming. "Who are you? Where did you come from?" Her eyes glanced towards the ground the pile of ashes had been. They were gone, blown away in the wind. "What did you do to that thing?"
Emerald eyes stared down at her, visibly sizing the teen up. "What makes you think I have to answer you?" Her voice had a superior ring to it. She looked down the bridge of her nose at Kim. She chuckled as she watched Kim puff up her chest, trying to seem intimidating. The taller woman put her hands up in front of her in defense. "Whoa, calm down, Cupcake. I'm not here to hurt you."
Kim glared up at the other woman, her hands crossing over her chest. Emerald eyes softened, before she squared her shoulders with pride. "I'm Shego. Shego, Queen of the Demons."
Kim's mouth dropped open, her eyes quickly darting up to the curved horns. Demon. She took a shaky step backward, and another, until her back hit the trunk of of a tree. "What do you want from me?" She tried to sound defiant, confident. She must of failed by the look of the smirk on Shego's face.
"Nothing." Shego shrugged, moving to examine long, sharp fingernails. Her eyes met Kim's again. "Yet."
"Yet?" Kim squeaked. She flinched at how pathetic she sounded.
"Yet, Cupcake." Shego said. She once again began to examine her nails.
Straightening her back, Kim took a deep breath. "Explain."
"Excuse you?" Kim flinched. She giggled nervously.
"Please?"
"Much better." Shego dismissed the teen with a wave of her hand. "I don't owe you any sort of explanation, human, and you're not going to get one from me."
Kim puffed out her cheeks. She didn't like being talked down to. "Thanks, anyways."
Shego blinked. "What?"
"You saved me." Kim said. "I needed help, and you came. So thank you. I could've died, had you not shown up."
"You don't have to thank me. I wasn't here on my own free will. You summoning me today was a fluke that should have never happened. It won't happen again, you got me?" The Demon's eyes stared down at her harshly. Kim swallowed visibly and slowly nodded her head. Shego scrutinized her for a moment longer, before giving a pleased nod.
"Later," Shego paused, her face thoughtful. Her lips pulled up into into a smirk. "Princess."
With a snap of her fingers, the wind picked up again. Kim moved to shield her eyes, but the wind was already gone- and it took the Demon Queen with it.
