Sorry for taking so long to put this up. I wasn't exactly feeling so well so ya, anyways Enjoy!!


Shego stood by Drakken's bed and looked out the window. It was starting to get dark, and she still hadn't figure out what they were going to do. Drakken had sent her to his bedroom so she could find his robe, but she just went to get away from him and Kim. Shego could feel her eyes get heavy. This had been a long day and she really needed some rest. She looked outside once more. Snowflakes came down silently, a truly beautiful snowfall. She sighed and fell down on the bed. She felt herself start to fall asleep. As Shego heard Drakken and Kim laughing, she couldn't help but think about her younger years. How she longed for when she and her family had laughed the same way. Her eyelids flew open. Startled at what had come over her, Shego got up and decided that she didn't want to be alone. It was a stupid thing, but she couldn't help but feel scared. She went up to a coat hanger that happened to be in Drakken's room. Shego took his robe and walked out. She saw Drakken and little Kimmy on the couch in front of the TV.

" Shego what took you so long?" Drakken asked as Shego handed the robe to him. Kim had fallen asleep on Drakken's lap.

" Your room is a mess," Shego replied, not daring to look at him. He would know something was wrong instantly. Then she would have to tell him about what she had felt back in his room. There was no way that he would ever let her forget it. She couldn't let that happen.

" I'm a busy man." Drakken said as he put his robe on. " I don't have time to clean up. That's what henchmen are for."

" Right. Busy with turning our arch foes into little thumb-suckers?" Shego said, looking at the TV. She sat down, still staring at the TV screen. " What are you gonna do with Kim, huh? You can't just let her stay here! She's got a family and one that is very stubborn at that. They would probably file a report against us for kidnapping or something."

Drakken was surprised at her outburst. She was still not looking at him and he decided it was a girl thing. He continued thinking of reasons for her obscure behavior. Shego was about to tell him that she was sorry for the outburst, when she noticed from the corner of her eye that he was looking, more like staring, at her.

"What?" Shego finally had the courage to turn around and look at him. Drakken was startled and then he shook his head.

" Nothing. I was just..." Drakken stopped himself. Whatever was her problem, he didn't want to make it worse. " Where is she going to sleep?" Drakken said, acknowledging Kim, who had been moved beside him, sleeping soundly.

" Guess you could leave her there." Shego said halfheartedly. She really wanted to go get some sleep. " My rooms plumbing backed up so I'll probably have to sleep in your extra room for the rest of the week."

"Well, all right." Drakken walked into a closet by his room. When he came back with a blanket and pillow, Kim had woken up and was sitting and staring at Shego. Shego didn't seem to notice-she looked far away. Drakken couldn't help but stare, again. He shook his head and headed toward them.

Kim looked up as Drakken approached. " Here. Your going to sleep here, okay?" Drakken said laying the blanket on Kim. He put the pillow behind her head. By the time he finished arranging Kim so she was comfortable, Shego was standing up and watching him.

" How long are you gonna keep her here for?" Shego asked, looking at Kim instead of Drakken. He didn't respond and Shego decided to leave it for the morning. She said, well actually mumbled, a good night and went off to the extra room. She closed the door and changed into her night gown. She was alone and instantly felt...lonely. That was something new. Shego crunched up her face. Why on earth does some kid make her feel so strange? Maybe it was just her... Shego sighed and walked toward the bed. She stood beside it for a moment and she instantly felt sleep come over her. She laid down on her bed and closed her eyes.

"Shego?"

" Huh?" Shego opened her eyes. Surprised by the fact that she had fallen asleep at all, she looked at the time-which said 12:07 am- then at the door. Shego groaned when she saw who it was. She sat up. " What is it, kid? Are you aware that its twelve in the morning?" Kim blinked and walked over to the bed.

" I'm scared!" Kim whispered. She looked as if she was gonna cry. Shego looked at her for a long time. Then she sighed.

" Fine, you can sleep with me," Shego said. She got out of the bed and lifted Kim up onto it. Kim put her head on the pillow, while Shego went to get another pillow for herself. When she came back Kim was still awake. " Are you gonna get some sleep at all while you're here?"

Kim looked up at her. " I can't sleep without you here...it will be the same as the couch." Shego sat down beside her.

" That better?" Kim shook her head. Shego sighed and laid herself on the bed. Kim smiled and closed her eyes. Shego just stared at her for some time. Who knew Kim could look like such an angel when she was asleep. Shego took in a sharp breath. Oh God, no... She did not just think that. Shego turned her side and pushed the thought to the back of her mind...way back. No way was she ever going to look at this kid as an angel. She was anything but an angel. This was the same girl that was foiling all the plans that she, more like Drakken, made. A burden. Yes.. that was the right word. Without even knowing it, Shego fell asleep with that thought in her head.
