Ruby Lion

Kim and Shego are on a worldwide search for a temple of the ruby lion, a ring that gives its owner ultimate power but they both are in for a big surprise when they finally find this ring.

Chapter 1: Hide and seek

"We need to lay low for a while Kimmie." Shego said as she searched her bag.

"Why? We're so close to the Ruby Lion, I can just taste it! Come on." Kim pleaded.

Shego shook her head. "Sorry Princess, no deal. We lay low for a couple months then we can comb every corner of the earth if you want. But right now, we have to lay low."

"Fine." Kim said with a pout. "So where are we going? The Islands? Greece? Somewhere with a nice beach I hope."

"Sorry Pumpkin, but GJ has all my houses under close watch, and most likely they'll find your places sooner or later." Shego said fishing out her cell phone.

"So what are we going to do?" Kim asked with new found disappointment.

"I'm afraid we have to stay with someone I know who can keep quiet." Shego said dialing a number.

"Who do we know that can keep a secret? Honestly." Kim said giving up hope.

"I know someone, just trust me okay?" Shego said.

Kim looked deep into Shego's eyes. The look was serious and had a rare honesty, Kim nodded wordlessly then asked. "So who are you calling?"

Shego hit the send button and frowned. "You'll see. Hello?... Mom?... Yeah it's me… yeah I know it's been a while look I need a favor… yeah… me and a friend… don't start that now look can we stay with you or not?... okay we'll see you in a few days… yeah loveyoutoogottago."

Shego sighed heavily and hung up the phone. She looked back at Kim who had a strange smile that played on her lips. "What?"

"Did you seriously just call your mom?" Kim asked with a wide grin.

"Right now she is the only thing standing between a prison cell and that ring you've been obsessing over. Beggars can't be choosers Princess, trust me she is the last person I want to ask a favor of is her."

Kim chuckled lightly. "Okay okay. Lead the way then."

"Here we are Princess! Home sweet home… at least until things cool down." Shego said as they approached the door of a large house just outside of Go city. "Hopefully that will be soon." She murmured before knocking on the door. In moments the door quickly opened and Shego found herself staring down the barrel of a shotgun.

"Mom…it's so nice to see you too." Shego said with a forced smile. The woman holding the gun was the near image of Shego, the only difference being the normal skin color and sapphire blue eyes. The woman set the gun aside and threw her arms around Shego.

"Oh Elyse sweetie! I'm so sorry; I thought you were your father." The woman said cheerfully. Shego cringed at her real name being used so freely in front of Kim and entire world. The woman looked over at Kim and released Shego. "Well my, my, my Kim Possible, I figured you would be more my daughter's enemy than her friend."

Kim shrugged. "Retirement does a lot of things to a girl, Mrs.?..."

"Oh just call me Gina, I hate all those formalities."

The two shook hands and exchanged pleasant smiles. Shego looked anxiously around the quiet neighborhood. "Hey, mom we have the whole world on our asses you mind if we just take this inside? Great." Shego pushed the two women into the house and slammed the door behind her.

"Elyse. What has you so worked up?" Gina asked in shock.

Shego looked at her mother in disbelief. "If you haven't already heard I'm on the FBI's and Global Justice's most wanted list. If fact I'm number one mom!"

Gina smiled and turned to Kim. "She always did get worked up about the smallest things."

Kim blinked in surprise. "Um Mrs…err Gina? This isn't a small thing, this is actually pretty huge, and I'm second on GJ's list right now. They want to lock your daughter up for life. This is serious."

Gina tucked her long black hair behind her ear and continued to smile. "As long as you two are here with me, they won't find you. Now I bet you two are hungry after all that running about you've been doing. Have a seat and I'll start lunch." She left the two women in the living room and began cooking in the kitchen.

Kim and Shego took a seat on the nearest couch and listened to sounds of pots and pans clanging in the kitchen. Kim looked over at Shego. "So…Elyse." Kim said with a wide grin. Shego glared at her and leaned in close.

"Don't even think for a moment I am going to let you call me by my real name." Shego said through gritted teeth. Kim raised her hands in defense, still grinning happily.

"Okay, okay. So is…is there something I should know about your mother?"

Shego sighed. "I'm the only daughter of five kids, my father clearly had his favorite, that buffoon Hego, and me being her only daughter I was her favorite. Though she was better at hiding it from my siblings but it became clear after I quit the hero bullshit and did what I really wanted. My father hated that I quit his precious Team Go. He refused to even speak to me in fact, but mom, no she loved me even after I turned to crime. She and dad got divorced after that...hence the shotgun."

Kim nodded. "So does she always act like that?"

"God no. She normally acts a lot more...reserved then that. She just gets excited when I come by. She'll calm down."

"Girls, lunch is ready!" Gina's voice came from the kitchen. The smell of food filled the air; Kim's stomach gave a low growl. It hadn't occurred to her that they hadn't eaten in three days.
