Here is an update! Warning it's a bit... sad.. either way..
Enjoy!
Through Blind eyes 5
The trip to the hospital was less than successful. The test results didn't give any extra information and it most definitely didn't give an insight on what might be going on with the young Possible. There was no cure as long as there wasn't an explanation for her condition. Despite the fact that they hadn't gotten their hopes up high the Possibles and Shego as well were quite disappointed.
Walking arm in arm Kim and Shego went back to the car. Silently everybody headed back home, barely wanting to say anything after so many disappointments. Almost completely unable to see her parents, Kim followed them into the house, Shego's hand holding hers loosely. The couple disappeared into the house and still holding hands they went up the stairs and into Kim's room. A heavy sigh escaped the girl's lips and Shego turned to look at her.
"Hey," She murmured grabbing Kim's other hand as well. "We'll find a solution." She said reassuringly and she pulled her new girlfriend close. She held her and slowly guided her towards the bed. She took a seat against the headboard and pulled Kim down, making her sit in between her legs. Arms wrapped around the red head's waist and almost forced her to relax. "You okay?" Shego asked, breaking the silence yet again.
"Hmm." Was all Kim could muster. She leaned her head back, placing it upon Shego's shoulder. She stared straight ahead; her eyes fixed on the pink wall. It wasn't that she was completely disappointed, she hadn't expected any great results. Though hearing it from more then 1 doctor finally made her realize that she might had to live with her condition for the rest of her life. The thought alone was depressing and she wouldn't know what to do if there was never a cure to be found.
Shego slid a hand through Kim's hair, gently catching the girl's full attention.
"I can't believe you're still here with me." Kim whispered almost absentmindedly. She turned slightly sideways, catching the villain's dangerous eyes. Though there was no danger there, just a puzzled look.
"Do I need to explain myself again?" Shego questioned slightly annoyed and Kim shook her head. "You know I said I'd be here for you up until the very end."
"Yes, yes I know it's just unbelievable. I'm so vulnerable right now and you're still a villain. Nights I've dreamed about fighting you and even dreamed about being with you. Though the latter of the two had never been possible. Now… Now you're here and I can touch you, hold you," The red head babbled and she sniffed softly. "You make me all blubbery." She added in an amused tone and Shego snorted at the comment.
"That would be the last thing I'd expect you to become because of me. Sarcastic, yes, evil, maybe, hot for me, most definitely but blubbery? Hell no." Shego spoke thoughtfully and she grinned slightly at the red head. Kim merely smiled and with a deep exhale she leaned in, nuzzling her nose against Shego's neck. She closed her eyes and inhaled the scent that was Shego's. Her own arms wrapped around the toned villain's body, realizing that she was comfortable and that she didn't want to let go for a long time.
"Let me guess you could stay like this for a lifetime." Shego suddenly commented.
"Mmm yeah, how'd you know?" Kim asked nuzzling the skin of Shego's neck yet again.
"Well if the way you're practically trying to melt our bodies into one isn't a sign, I could definitely tell it by the way you're trying to inhale me." Shego remarked in a dry tone quickly followed by a yelp as she felt Kim's teeth sinking into her shoulder. "What the hell are you doing?" She practically shouted as she tried to dislodge Kim from her shoulder.
"I wanted to know if you taste as good as you smell." The girl replied sheepishly and she pulled back, taking in the woman's features. She stared at the flawless pale skin, the mischievous eyes, the full lips and the flawless smile. She hoped it would never disappear from her sight. Silently, feeling as though she was making quite an emotional scene, she reached out and touched Shego's cheek. "You kinda do." She added and she buried her face in the crook of the villain's neck again.
Shego chose not to comment on the girl's mushy scene and let her do her thing.
"As much as I hate to break this up," Shego started pulling away from the red head. "I have to go home and do some stuff." She said as she stepped off of the bed.
"Do some stuff?" Kim asked scrambling to her feet as well.
"I've gotta change into a different set of clothes, take a shower and so on. For your information I'm very keen on my personal hygiene. If you hadn't noticed it yet." She said.
"You'll be back right?" Kim asked as she rounded the bed.
"As soon as possible." Shego replied and she leaned in, capturing Kim's lips in a soft kiss. It kept on going for several seconds, lips moving in synch whilst Kim practically melted into the woman's arms. "Don't miss me too much." Shego joked and Kim watched her leave through the window, still catching her breath as she disappeared. Silently she plopped down on her bed again; her eyes fixed on the window. It wasn't even late but the girl felt tired.
She let herself fall back on her bed, her eyes directed towards the ceiling.
"I could really use a wish right now." She murmured to herself. She didn't know how long she remained in the same position; all she knew was that by the time she looked away from the ceiling she noticed it was becoming dark outside.
"Kimmie?" Her mother's voice carefully sounded from the other side of the door. She looked up slightly, waiting for her mother to enter her room. The door opened slowly and a blur came into her view. "I have some dinner for you." Ann offered and she presented a plate with dinner. Kim looked at it, realizing that she was quite hungry.
Silently she accepted the plate and she closed her eyes when her mother leaned in close, feeling a pair of lips upon the top of her head.
"You know you don't have to be afraid." Ann said and Kim nodded, her eyes still closed the plate in her hands. "We're your parents, we'll never hurt you."
"I know mom," Kim replied and she opened her eyes. "I just wish I could see you again."
If it had been possible Kim would've seen a sad look on her mother's face. The woman took a seat on the corner of Kim's bed. She reached out and touched her daughter's cheek.
"We hope for the same Kimmie and we won't stop until we have found a cure." Ann said and Kim could hear the sadness in her voice. She leaned into her mother's warm hand, her eyes closing, tears getting squeezed out by her eyelids. "You should contact Wade." Her mother added and with teary eyes Kim watched the blur, known as her mother, leave the room again. She sighed deeply and looked down at her plate. She had completely lost her appetite after the small interaction with her mother.
Somewhere she felt sad, depressed, simply empty because she couldn't see the persons she cared the most about. Granted she had Shego, and she cared deeply for the woman. Though she had never thought that she'd miss her family so much, despite being in the same house with them. Her younger brothers, not fully grown, she might never see them grow up into adults. Simply because of the fact that she couldn't see them. She'd miss out on so many things just because of her eyesight. She could barely imagine how people with complete blindness could handle it.
She placed the plate aside and rose to her feet. Silently she walked to the window and placed her hand upon the cold glass. She looked outside, searching for a sign of movement, not only from Shego but any other person. Though there was no one to be seen. You should contact Wade. The words echoed in her mind and she figured it couldn't do any harm if she did.
She prepared herself for what was to come. She knew she wouldn't be able to see Wade as she grabbed her Kimmunicator. She turned the device on, watching how it made contact with its creator. A human formed blur appeared on the screen and she smiled sadly.
"Hi Wade." She croaked out.
"Kim! Long time no see!" He blurted out in surprise and she winced at the comment. Long time no see… Yeah.
"H-how are you?" She asked.
"Good as usual, still busy inventing new things. How's your eyesight?" He questioned.
"Not improving, I can't even see you." She commented absentmindedly. "About that, you're a genius, couldn't you try to find anything for me?" She asked refocusing on the screen again.
"I'm already on it Kim but so far I haven't had any breakthroughs. You'll have to wait; it's a very difficult situation you're placed in. I'm not even 100% sure that I can find anything for your problem. I'll try nonetheless." He explained and the girl felt a smile tugging at her lips.
"Really?" She asked almost inaudible and Wade smiled despite the fact she couldn't see it.
"Really, really." He replied and even though it wasn't sure he could find a solution she was eternally grateful already. A bigger smile split across her face and she wished she could hug him, instead of a hug she placed a kiss upon the screen of her Kimmunicator.
"You're the best Wade even if you don't find a solution." She said and she broke the line.
The Kimmunicator was placed upon her nightstand and she walked back to the window. She was waiting for the moment Shego would return.
Standing in her room almost made her forget about her eyes. She could see her surroundings perfectly and she could see every single thing outside as well. Though the moment humans came in 'sight' she'd be reminded that her eyes weren't completely normal. In a world with only Shego she'd be able to live a normal life. She wouldn't fear others as much as she feared them now. She wasn't a coward but not being able to see a human had a frightening factor to it. It made it hard to trust someone, because trust was usually based on the person's expressions.
She'd never be able to see a friendly face again. On the plus side she wouldn't be able to see an unfriendly face as well. Though she'd rather she those as well than see none of the emotions a person could show through facial expressions. The tone of a voice could give away a lot and she'd have to rely on that from now on. Despite the fact that the tone of a voice could also be deceiving. Overall it couldn't be denied, it was a depressing situation and she felt for all the other people who were going through the same thing.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the window sliding open. Shego climbed through the opening, a worrisome look on her face as she looked at Kim. Unconsciously the girl had started crying again, her eyes were red and her cheeks were tearstained.
"H-hey, why are you-…" She started but stopped talking the moment Kim threw herself into her arms. Silently she stroked the girl's hair again, holding her as she listened to the sobbing.
"W-we'll never find a cure." Kim choked out, staining Shego's shoulder with her tears. Shego shushed her, telling her not to speak right now. Words weren't needed; the villain knew why the girl was crying. It just surprised her to find her in such a state. Shego moved to the bed, still holding the crying girl, making her sit in her lap. She held her for several minutes, simply waiting for the tears to stop as well as the sobbing. It took a while but it eventually became quiet and with red eyes Kim pulled out of the embrace.
She looked Shego in the eyes and briefly reached up to rub at her own eyes.
"Sorry." She mumbled and Shego shrugged.
"You needed it, I understand." Was all she said.
"I… I called Wade today, my mom advised it. So I did." Kim spoke timidly and Shego waited for the rest to follow. "He said he was doing his best to look for a cure. He hasn't reached a breakthrough yet but he won't stop until he finds something. Though he said it wasn't completely sure that he would find something. He might not find anything but I at least know that he tried his best." She explained and she smiled at the kind gesture of the genius.
"That's nice of him." Shego said genuinely.
"Yeah, it is, it really is." Kim smiled and she looked up at Shego again. "You'll stay the night right?" She asked and Shego gave a sort nod at the question. "Thank you." She said and she placed a quick peck upon the woman's black painted lips. She got to her feet, getting out of Shego's warm protective embrace. Smiling she decided to change into her pajamas.
Shortly after Shego had agreed to stay they ended up underneath the covers of Kim's pink bed. Kim had finished the food her mother had offered her and after a brief shower and brushing her teeth she joined the pale-skinned woman. The events of the day had caught up with her and despite them not being quite physical she felt tired. It was tiring, all the crying she had done and the impact of bad news at the hospital. She felt like she could use a good night of rest and had persuaded Shego into going to sleep as well, despite it being quite early.
The new couple cuddled up underneath the covers, Shego's arms wrapping around Kim's waist and pulling her close. They both sighed in content and closed their eyes; drowning in each other's warmth and letting sleep consume them. It didn't take too long before they were in a deep sleep. Their breathing slow and the night peaceful, the threat of Kim's condition forgotten for just a few hours.
Somewhere in the early morning the couple had changed positions. Kim was now spooning Shego, her face buried in dark soft hair. One arm was wrapped around Shego's waist, the other lay above said woman's head. For another few hours their positions remained the same. Slowly the sun started rising again, illuminating the room with its rays. A pinkish hue fell upon the sleeping couple as the rays fell through the pink curtains.
Breathing in deeply a smile spread across Kim's face, her nose picking up the scent of Shego's hair. She nuzzled the back of the woman's neck before she opened her eyes, letting them adjust to the lightness of her room. She looked around, checking if she could still see her surroundings and she was glad that she still could. A light smile still graced her face and she turned to look at Shego. She looked at the back of her head, seeing nothing but black hair. It was slightly vague but she didn't think any of it.
A yawn escaped her lips, knowing that it was still early she knew she could catch some more sleep. Within seconds she fell asleep for the second time, her body still curled around Shego's. The mere sound of Shego's soft breathing had helped her fall asleep. It was calming and she found herself listening to it up until the moment she drifted off.
The moment she woke up again Shego was still fast asleep and still wrapped in her arms. The sun had risen completely and was now casting its rays through a small opening in the curtains. The red head watched the beams, following them as they hit the ground. Her eyes drifted to the clock on her nightstand, which told her it was already past noon. Amazed about the fact that she had slept in so late she turned to look at Shego. The woman still had her back towards her and it amazed Kim even more that a thief could sleep so deep and long.
You'd think that a criminal would be a light sleeper, always conscious and on her toes. Yet here Shego was, sleeping like a log.
"I know you're awake princess." Shego's voice suddenly sounded almost startling Kim enough to make her fall off of the bed. She caught herself, pulling on the covers and pulling herself back on the bed. She looked at the back of Shego's head again, a pout on her face.
"That was mean." She murmured and she buried her face in the dark locks again.
"I'm evil, remember? If I don't vent it one way or another, I'll explode." Shego said in an amused tone and Kim simply scoffed at the comment. She pulled back slightly still staring at the black locks, realizing that they were still slightly vague.
For some reason her mouth became dry and she sat up slightly. Her eyes never left the pale-skinned woman lying on the bed.
"S-Shego?" She stuttered unnaturally and the woman hummed in response. "W-would you mind turning around and facing me?" She asked knowing it sounded a bit odd.
Slowly Shego sat up, her hair falling in front of her face. She stretched her body, yawning loudly. All the while Kim held her breath, watching the woman with a certain fearful feeling. Shego threw her hair back, clearing her face and as requested she turned to face the red head.
Kim gasped, scooting backwards, her hand coming up to cover her mouth as she looked at the villain.
"What? I can't look that bad!" Shego replied as she watched Kim's reaction. Though she fell silent as she saw tears welling up in the girl's eyes. "Princess?" She murmured reaching out for the girl but Kim moved away. Instead of being touched she reached out herself, touching Shego's face.
"N-no." She whispered as she touched the woman's cheek. "No!" She shouted, startling Shego slightly.
"What's wrong?" Shego asked placing her own hand upon Kim's.
"Don't…." Kim murmured. "Don't, please."
"Don't want?" The confused woman questioned.
"Please… Don't disappear as well." Kim whispered and Shego finally realized what was going on. "You're the only one I've got left, please don't disappear like the others." She repeated over and over again, tears streaming down her cheeks. Kim let her hand fall to the mattress, and averted her eyes.
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Shego asked grabbing Kim's hand and the girl merely nodded. Shego's eyes widened considerably, realizing that she too was now vanishing right in front of Kim's eyes. The last person she had been able to see now reduced to nothing more but a black and green blur.
Dun Dun Duuuun! O_o Shego is turning into a blur as well! Don't hate me! Darn I bet all of you had expected that to happen but had hoped it wouldn't! Am I right? What are they going to do now that Kim really can't see anyone anymore? How much more can our young hero take? And will there ever be a cure for the poor thing! Who knows... I sure don't.. So.. you probably.. with the exception of a few ideas or suggestions, don't either. Let's just see what the next chapter will bring Mkay?
Yours truly,
WPJ
