Hello again! Ya know looking at your comments never fails to put a smile on my face
Hehe, I had actually planed on getting Shego naked since chapter 1. It's the whole reason I destroyed her catsuit. As for the background, I plan on elaborating on that in the upcoming chapters. ARGH! Just noticed grammatical error in story *eye twitches*. You have FAILED me Word! FAILED!
Kim and Shego were startled from their peaceful slumber by a loud knocking.
"Girls!" Ann called out through the door. "Lunch is almost ready!"
A groan was the reply from both of them. Which, as we all know, is morning-speak for: 'I understand and acknowledge what you've just said but cannot be bothered articulating a response'. Then Kim realised the content of that sentence. Hang on, lunch? How long was I asleep?
Soon both Shego and Kim were extremely aware of their positions. At some point during the night Kim had rolled over, nuzzled her face into Shego's neck, wrapped her arms around the thief and slung a leg over her. Not that Shego was much better. She had all but pulled Kim on top of her, pushed her leg in between Kim's own and buried her nose into soft red hair. Both of them were thinking the exact same thing. Damn, she smells SO good…
They proceeded to blush profusely and wordlessly slip out of bed.
"Umm… do you want first shower?" Shego made an attempt at conversion.
Of course, that only succeeded in getting an image of naked Shego to come to the front of Kim's brain. "Sure, ok." Yes, time for a nice cold shower…
Once they had both showered and dressed (Shego in Kim's pants and Ann's t-shirt) they wolfed down at least four full-size pancakes each. Before they could help themselves to more, Kim's kimmunicator went off.
"What's the sitch?" Shego smirked slightly at Kim's trademark saying.
"Duff Killigan is trying to turn the African plains into a golf course."
"Golf, what a shocker." Kim's voice dripped sarcasm. Wow, I think Shego may have influenced me a little. "Ron?"
"Busy with homework. I can get GJ to back you up if you want."
Kim cringed. "Thanks but no thanks. They always just get in the way. Ride?"
"Jet will be at your house in 10 minutes."
"Thanks Wade, you rock." Kim signed off.
"Kimmie, I must say I'm impressed by your sarcasm. It has greatly improved." Shego did not see Ann raise an eyebrow at the pet name.
"I learned from the best. Say, do you want to come on the mission with me? The plains of Africa would be a great place to practice your flying and give you a workout."
"Sure, beats bumming around here all day." Shego suspected that it might be awkward being around Kim's parents without Kim there. Especially when her brothers came home. Cause I'm not going just to spend the day with Kimmie. Not at all. Her words were followed by the whine of a jet engine. She extended a hand to Kim in true gentleman fashion. "Shall we?"
About an hour later Kim and Shego landed soundlessly in the long grass of the African Plains. Actually, long was a bit of an understatement.
"Shego? Where are you?" Kim asked in the direction she thought Shego had landed while detaching her parachute.
"Over here Pumpkin." A flash of green light and suddenly the grass stems in front of Kim were replaced by Shego. Or rather, Shego wearing an enormous black hoodie.
"Where and why did you get that?"
"It's your dad's. He said I could borrow it. Killigan knows me; I need to cover my face." Shego pulled the hood over her head. "Let's go."
After a few minutes of walking blindly through the grass they came to a clearing. Sadly the element of surprise was lost as Killigan heard them and turned to face them.
"Kim Possible!" Shego remained unseen, still hidden by grass. She quietly made her way over to Killigan's machine, which appeared to be some sort of overgrown lawnmower. Wish I'd had that earlier. Shego pulled bits of the brittle grass out of her hair.
Kim meanwhile was effortlessly dodging exploding golf balls. I think I'm actually getting bored. A sudden explosion went off that was too big to be a golf ball.
Shego stood behind the ruined hunk of metal with a satisfied smirk on her face. Destroying expensive equipment is SO much more fun than guarding it!
"What-? How-?" Duff Killigan was completely bewildered by this turn of events. He let out a yell of frustration. "I don't know how you did that lassie, but I'll get you next time! Move out boys!" A helicopter rose up from behind a pile of rocks, a rope ladder attached to it. Killigan grabbed on to said ladder and made his escape.
"It's interesting that no matter how stupid the bad guy's plans are, they always have an effective escape plan. Nice work by the way."
"Destroying stuff is one of my many talents. And the escape plans are in case you show up, Kimmie. They've been beaten enough to know they don't stand a chance against you." Shego wriggled out of her hoodie. "Damn it's hot out here."
Kim wasn't sure which made her blush more; the compliment or how the way Shego took her hoodie off lifted her shirt a bit to expose pale green skin. "So, you want to get started on flying?"
"Sure. But I'm not sure how to change. The first time was accidental."
"Well how did you turn back?"
"I dunno, I guess I just thought about wanting to be human again." I wonder if that would work… just concentrating on being a dragon… Before she entirely realised it, she had morphed fluidly and (fortunately) painlessly into dragon form.
"You did it!" Kim's voice was almost squeaky with excitement. "But where are your clothes?"
"I have no idea. They just disappeared. Maybe they'll reappear once I change back." Was it Shego's imagination or did Kim look slightly disappointed at that?
Damn. No more naked Shego… which is a GOOD thing! Bad Kim, no fantasizing about your arch-foe! "Now, try and see if you can fly."
Shego leapt into the air, flapped her wings and… face-planted into the dirt. "Oww."
Kim was struggling valiantly to hold in her laughter, but lost it when the dragon gave her an utterly offended look, collapsing into a mad giggling fit.
"Nice to see you find my pain and humiliation entertaining" Shego grumbled, waiting for the teenager to collect herself.
"Hey, like you wouldn't have laughed if I'd done that." Shego couldn't argue with that logic. "And besides, it was only your first try."
"Second, if you count the mountain."
"You were under a lot more pressure then. Anyway, give it another shot. Try making your wing tips meet beneath you."
"You so got that from that owl movie."
"You've seen Legend of the Guardians?" Shego did not answer, embarrassed from admitting that little fact. "You have! Big bad Shego has seen a little kid's movie!" Kim's face looked like it might split in two from the sheer force of her grin.
"Well… so have you!"
"Yeah, but I like cutesy stuff. And apparently so do you!"
"If anyone else finds out about this, your stuffed mutant gets it."
"Pandaroo is not a mutant!" Kim gave Shego the puppy-dog pout.
"GAH! Alright! Pandaroo is not a mutant, just stop doing that!" Kim gave the thief an evil smirk that rivalled her own. I got her to say Pandaroo...
Their bickering stopped when they felt the earth begin to shake. Suddenly about 30 dark shapes burst through the ground and encircled them. The creatures appeared vaguely human in form, were about seven feet tall and seemed to be made of a combination of dirty gold armour and swirling shadows.
Shego was at Kim's side in an instant, growling menacingly at the things. When one stepped forward a tail lash forced it back. This seemed to set them off and they all rushed the dragon at once. She was a blur of teeth and claws, making sure none of them got near Kim. Unfortunately, she wasn't used to fighting in this form and, after a while, one slipped past and had a go at the human.
Kim landed a few kicks on the creature but these had no effect and, with a sweep of its arm, it sent her flying into a rock. She slumped against it, losing consciousness.
"KIMMIE!" Shego cried in alarm, furious at herself for letting this happen. When she heard no response she got angry. Really angry. I am going to KILL them! Her mind clouded over with rage, she could feel it burning inside her…
Everything within a five metre radius of Shego exploded into flame, a jet of fire also being released from her mouth. Kim was untouched but the shadow-creatures were giving off inhuman shrieks of pain as they were incinerated. The burning only lasted about 10 seconds, but it wore Shego out. She collapsed when the flames died down, feeling dizzy from exertion.
Kim. Shego leapt to her feet, tiredness forgotten, and dragged herself over to the downed hero. "Kimmie? KIM!" She nudged the girl with her nose. "Wake up! Please be alive…"
Kim groaned softly and her eyes fluttered open. "Shego? Are you ok?"
"I think I should be asking you that Cupcake." Shego began sniffing Kim, checking for any signs of blood.
"I'm fine, I just bumped my head. You look exhausted."
"Just tired."
"You should be." Kim and Shego jumped at the deep, rumbling voice that seemingly came from nowhere. Shego crouched over Kim in a protective stance.
"Nice. Scare them half to death why don't you." Another voice joined in, this one female. "We should have shown ourselves before talking."
"Alright, alright." The air around Kim and Shego shimmered and two new dragons appeared in front of them. One was a deep forest green with well pronounced muscles and humongous horns. The other was red-orange with a slimmer build and was slightly smaller than the green one. Both were much bigger than Shego and both were wearing silver armour.
"So, this is the famous Shego. And of course Kim Possible. We meet at last." The orange dragon spoke with obvious interest. "I'm Adere. I am a fire dragon."
"And I'm Terraemotus, but you can call me Terra if you like. I'm an earth dragon."
Shego recovered from her stunned silence enough to voice her thoughts. "Huh?"
Terraemotus sighed. "You better make yourselves comfortable; it's a long story…"
I got the dragon names by Google translating words into Latin. Terraemotus is earthquake, Terra is earth and Adere is fire. That is, if Google is correct. Sorry about the lack of naked Shego but I have to keep the plot moving.
Next chapter: Shego FINALLY gets some answers!
