I do not own any of the Kim Possible characters, they belong to Disney. However any use of MY characters (Jester, Baron, mysterious shadowed figure), without giving me full credit, will be considered theft and plagiarism. Thank you.

Jester sat upon the black painted window ceil of Shego's green and black painted room, his body unnaturally tense, broad, without movement as his piercing gaze searched hotly out the window and into the darkness of the night.
The night air was damp and cold, so cold that Jester was able to see his breath, thick and clearly, like a mist as it seeped past his open lips, curling and uncurling, before disappearing completely into the darkness of the night.
The freezing cold air, however, did not faze Jester in the slightest for his fur was thick and warm; protecting his body from the ravishing cold that lapped the night air of its warmth.
Shego was protected from the cold as well, even though she didn't have thick, lively fur as Jester did. No, she had a different kind of barrio against the cold. Her protection was the horrid mutation of green plasma powered cells that burned her flesh and blood, making it more of a curse than a gift.
Shego's average body temperature (at the moment) was about one hundred an' five degrease Fahrenheit, a high fever in human terms. But then again Shego wasn't human; at least, not anymore.
Kim too, was protected from the cold thanks to the extra heat that Shego's body kindly provided.
Even though the night was still and mostly quiet (except for the scurrying of rats and mice down on the forest floor every now and then) Jester was tense, keeping his piercing down upon the forest, searching. Jester stayed like this for hours, his body never loosening, his eyes looking out the window for any sign of suspicious activity. The forest seemed normal and peaceful but Jester could not shack the feeling that something was wrong.
But what could it be?
Certainly it couldn't be one of the servants that served that man that hunted Shego like a wild animal; after all, Shego had already faced two of his minions this week, surly he wouldn't send another one.
Or was the mad man finally getting serious in his quest to capture Shego?
Jester shivered and silently hoped that that wasn't the case for if it was then Shego was going to be driven into a hellhole. Just like all those years ago, when he first found the young girl, covered in fresh blood.
A sudden alien rustle of sound vibrated through the night, snapping Jester from his thoughts.
There!
Hiding in the shadows of the forests vegetation a figure with two red eyes, crept softly, trying its best not to be seen.
Jester hissed and right eye started to glow a deep blue. A flash of blue light engulfed Jester as it transported him to the forest floor. Jester hissed and his eyes glanced from side to side, his claws out and ready to attack while his back hunched over, and his fur stood on end.
But the forest was silent.
Jester, confused, looked around casually for any signs of the red-eyed creature. But there was nothing. No footprints, no fur, no claw marks, nothing. No evidence what so ever that the creature was even there.
Whatever it was, it was gone…
Without a trace.

Shego was awakened by the sound of thunder crackling angrily in the distance. Shego groaned and her body twisted in discomfort causing Kim to grunt in annoyance and buried her face deep into Shego's chest not wanting to awaken from her slumber just yet. Shego hissed as lightning shed it's light across her eyes and thunder boomed through the cloudy sky. Shego turned (which was hard to do with Kim clinging to her) and check the time: eight o' clock AM, morning.
Shego sighed and lazily tried to untangle herself from Kim's iron grip. After a couple of minutes of easing out of Kim's grip without waking her, Shego finally succeeded and crept silently out of bed, out of the room, and into Drakken's lair. Shego walked down to the first floor by taking the long way, the stairs for she thought it would wake her up a little more.
Drakken was up, in the kitchen, his face searching intently in the refrigerator, his back to Shego. Shego assumed that Drakken had just woken up as well, for he was still wearing his white, blue spotted pajamas. Shego commented, "You're up early. What's the occasion Dr. D?"
Drakken turned and Shego choked back a squeal of surprise. Drakken's face was swollen, and pink dots covered his face. Shego would have burst out laughing if she wasn't so shocked and concerned for the blue man. Shego held down all emotion in her voice as she asked, "What happened to your face?"
Drakken sighed and pulled a carton of milk out of the refrigerator as he explained, "It's a side effect of my genetically changed skin Shego. If I'm allergic to something and am exposed to it, I breakout in pink dots and my face swells up like a balloon the very next day. But don't worry! It doesn't hurt… much."
Shego shivered and asked, "Have you ever invented a cure or vaccine for your… allergies?" Drakken blinked, or at least, Shego thought she saw him blink; it was hard to tell; but when Drakken's face broke out in a big grin Shego knew that his tinny mind had taken the information that she had given him.
"That's brilliant Shego! Why didn't I think of that before?" Drakken handed Shego the carton of milk and leaped for joy, "Forget breakfast," Drakken squealed, "I'll start on that cure right now! Oh, what a lucky day this is turning out to be." Shego watched Drakken skip out of the kitchen, leaving her blinking rapidly in a state of shock.
Just how clueless could Drakken get?

Ron moaned in misery. His shoulder where soar, his back slumped over, and his knees sagged by his side all in the name of pain. Ron's head was hanging by his neck tipped to the side a little; you could even see a little trial of drool hanging from his open mouth.
Ron hissed as the heal of his foot hit a rock sending shocks of pain up his leg and into his spine, causing his mind to split in pain. Ron moaned and clenched his head trying his best to ease the pain. He had not slept for almost twenty-four hours traveling none stop.
He did not complain for Yori was enduring the same stress on both her mind and body the only one that seemed to have any really energy left was Rufus and even he was tired, bags under his eyes and his whiskers drooped over his pink cheeks.
Ron was covered in dirt, and his pants where drenched with ice and water, making it hard for him to feel his feet normally. Yori seemed to be having the same problem with her pants making them sag and occasionally begin to fall off. Ron would blush at these moments and just as it seemed that Yori's pants would fall off Yori would grab her pants and pulled them back up muttering low curses in Japanese.
Ron averted his gaze from Yori taking a good look around him at his harsh soundings of rock, dirt, ice, and water that dripped from the ceiling of the dark cave even with the flashlights the darkness engulfed them like a fish in water.
Ron gulped in a mouth full of cold air trying his best not to let his growing fear over take him. "Yori?" He asked, "How much long do you think it is?" Yori hesitated, he head twisted left and right as she surveyed her surroundings, "I believe that... or was it? Um, it should be around here somewhere… let's see…" Yori bent down slowly to her knees, patting her hands on the cold stone.
Ron shifted his feet, uneasy. "Um, Yori? What are you doing?" Yori continued patting the rocks, "I'm looking for a door, Stoppable-san. The door is opened by pushing down a certain rock; but I cannot seem to find it."
Ron sighed and sat on a nearby bolder. "Well, if you want, I could- CLICK."
Ron and Yori blinked in surprise. Ron jumped off of the bolder, his hands up in preparation to fight. A small rock sat upon the bolder slowly sinking within the cold stone, out of sight. There was a crack and the bolder began to move. Slowly the bolder removed itself and revealed a hidden stairway under it; blue light bleed from the opening blinding them both.
Yori squealed in relief and delight, "You found it, Stoppable-san!" Yori ran over to Ron and placed a kiss on his cheek. Ron blushed and averted his gaze. Yori grabbed his arm, "Come along Stoppable-san. Sensei is waiting."
With that Yori pulled Ron into the underground stairway.

Kim blinked sheepishly rubbing her eyes and stretching her muscles. White light poured from the window of Shego's room engulfing it in a spray of light and dark green. Jester was watching Kim slowly come out of her sleep and into awareness twitching his tail back and forth.
Thunder boomed softly in the distance catching Jester's interest. The black cat lazily turned his head and glanced out the window, which was covered in morning dew, a soft sprinkle of rain fell gently from the sky.
Jester yawned and uncurled from his seat on the windowpane and jumped to the ground and hoped up onto Shego's green and black bed. Kim was still sleepy and not completely aware of her surroundings, thus making her and easy target for Jester to use her as a scratching post. Jester grinned and began rubbing against Kim's side.
Kim blinked as she felt Jester rub himself against her. "Why," Kim smiled, "Aren't you a cute kitty?"
Jester blinked and hissed, "I am not cute and I am certainly not a kitty."
But the words were alien to Kim's ears and when she heard Jester speak all she heard was a bunch of meows. Kim giggled, reached out, and began scratching Jester from behind the ears.
Jester blinked in surprise and he began to purr, loudly.
Kim smirked, "Are you hungry?" Jester, thinking that Kim could understand him, replied, "Not very much, but then again I need very little food. Though I would like some fresh milk, if you have any." Jester sniffed proudly and ran his claws through the fur on his chest.
Kim thought this was cute and grasped him in a soft hug. "Aw, you are just so cute! I've never really held a cat before, mostly just a naked mole rat. I sometimes wish my parents would let me have a normal pet. But they say I would not be able to take proper care of it, with all my responsibilities with saving the world and all that. Shego must be very happy to have a fuzzy little kitty like you. Isn't that right, Fluffy?"
Underneath Jester's thick black fur, his cheeks were a deep dark red. "F-fluffy?! I'm not Fluffy, and I'm certainly not cute either. Take it back, or I'll claw your eyes out!" Jester hissed and he flexed his claws in and out while he bared his fangs at Kim. Kim did not take the hint, or did not recognize this as a sign of aggression, or she simply was not paying attention.
Whatever the case may be Kim did not loosen her hold on Jester and did not put him down as he wanted. Instead Kim said, "I bet Shego or Drakken has something in here to make you look beautiful. How about it Fluffy? Ready for a makeover?"
Jester screamed the only way a cat could scream.

Shego was done with her breakfast of cereal, a banana, and a glass of orange juice. She was now cleaning up her place, scooping up crumbs and sweeping them into the trash can, rinsing her bowl and glass and placing them in the washing machine so that it would be more convenient to wash them once the washer was full of dishes.
Shego then engaged herself in the task of cleaning the table for she had spilled a little bit of milk upon it's wooden surface. Shego used a worn, damp cloth and some Windex, spraying the liquid upon the surface of the wood and wiping it clean with the cloth while humming a strange tune.
Once she was done she washed the cloth free of it's filth and placed the spray bottle and cloth away back into the place they were original kept. Shego then grabbed a magazine that seemed to be somewhat new and sat on a couch near the big screen TV making herself comfortable laying herself into the soft cloth and cotton of the couch.
After a couple of minute of peace and only the sound of Drakken working on his cure by using different types of vast machinery would cause her to shift uncomfortably once an a while, Shego heard a cry of a sort of meow, "Shego! Shego, Shego, Shego, Shego, Shego, Shegooooo!!"
Shego flinched and snapped, "What?!" Jester, leaped upon the wooden table that was between the TV and the couch, covered in various magazines.
"Look at what that red head did to me!!" Jester flexed his back straight so that Shego could get a good look at him. Shego choked and snorted hard fits of laughter.
"Shego!" Shego smirked and glanced at Kim as she ran toward Jester yelling, "Could you hold Fluffy? I'm not done with her yet!"
Shego turned her gaze back at Jester whose cheeks were covered in pink blush makeup, and the thick black hair on top of his head was tied up in a pink bow. Kim even went out of her way to paint Jester's claws of both his front and back paws. Jester tried desperately to hide his claws by drawing them back into his fingers, but every time he took step his pink claws would become visible again.
Shego grinned and teased Jester wickedly, "Hey Fluffy. Feeling beautiful?" Jester hissed and lashed out at Shego with his pink colored claws. Shego snatched her hand back, quickly avoiding Jester's claws and gave a soft chuckle that illuminated from her throat. Kim was by Shego, standing upright, catching her breath. Shego watched her silently, then, "Jester's not a girl."
Kim blinked. "What?"
Shego repeated, "Jesters not a girl."
Suddenly Kim's face turned a slight red. "Oh." She whispered nervously. "I didn't know." She admitted nervously. Shego rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Sure, the real reason I named my cat Jester was because he was a girl."
Kim's blush darkened and she whispered, "Sorry, Shego."
Shego shrugged, "Don't apologize to me, apologize to Jester." Kim blinked, thinking that Shego was being sarcastic again. Shego saw the expression on Kim's face and groaned, "I mean it Kimmie."
Kim blinked again and turned to Jester, "Um, sorry?"
Jester hissed angrily until Shego smacked him on the side of his head and scolded him. "Be nice." She hissed quietly so only Jester could hear her. Jester shifted uneasily and licked a paw, trying his best to ignore Shego.
Shego glared at Jester and watched in satisfaction as he shifted around nervously, trying to avoid her gaze. Shego leaned back and sighed, "So Kimmie, you ready to go home yet? I bet your folks are worried about you."
Kim gasped, "I completely forgot! Mom and Dad must be worried sick! Do you have a phone I could use?" Shego smirked, "I've got something better." Shego got up and walked out of the room, past a metal door with Kim following close behind. Jester stayed in the kitchen trying desperately to take off the pink bow that was tied securely to the fur on top of his head.
Shego and Kim walked into a room with a massive computer screen the size of a whale. The room was red and had green pools of what looked like acid on it's floor with bridges of metal towering over them. Shego and Kim hastily walked of some of the bridges keeping their distance from the red hot rails.
Shego walked up to the gigantic computer's monitor and began typing. The computer sparked to life and gave a sort of humming sound, then hundreds of icons appeared on the screen. Shego hesitated before continuing typing. "Okay, let's see… Ah! Here we go." Suddenly the screen changed and the image of a very frantic Wade appeared. Kim watched Wade gasp in surprise.
"K-Kim?" Wade sputtered. "Is that really you?"
Kim nodded, "Yeah Wade it's me. What's wrong?" Wade scanned his computer nervously before answering, "How did you manage to hack into my computer? It's completely hake proof! And-," Wade blinked, "Shego! So you did kidnap Kim. Don't worry Kim, I'll have Global Justice on her in a jiffy."
Kim yelped. "No Wade! It's okay, Shego saved-," Shego's hand slapped over Kim's mouth and whispered harshly in Kim's ear, "Don't tell the nerdling more than he needs to know, Pumpkin." Shego slowly removed her hand and watched Kim with judging eyes. Kim shivered, her throat suddenly dry.
Wade snarled at Shego, "Don't you dare lay your filthy green hands on her you freak!" That insult hit home. Shego flinched and her eyes began to glow slightly. The core in her chest was glowing slightly as well, but not so much. Shego inhaled a shaky breath as she tried to calm herself down, trying to push back the dark memories that were working their way into her mind. Slowly, the haunting memories slid back behind iron bars.
"Wade, Shego isn't holding me hostage or anything like that. In fact she saved me from serious injury." Kim glanced at Shego from the corner of her eyes trying to read Shego's emotionless face.
Wade blinked. "Really?" Kim nodded, not really looking at Wade. "But don't tell anyone, okay Wade?" Wade nodded his head slowly. "Whatever you say Kim." Kim shifted her stance, relaxing a little bit.
Shego hesitated then, "Hey nerdling!" Wade glared at Shego before asking, "What do you want?" Shego resisted the urged to snarl. "Could you send some kind of vehicle or airplane to pick Kim up? I'm sure she would like to go home." Kim flinched, startled that Shego had suggested such a thing. 'Is she worried about my safety?' Kim blushed slightly without realizing it.
Wade typed forcefully then snapped at Shego, "Already done it." Shego nodded her head in approval. Wade said numbly to Kim, "I'll see you later Kim." And with that the computer went black. Shego crossed her arms, turned, and began walking away. Kim flinched, "Wait Shego!"
Shego turned her head and glared angrily at Kim with hot green eyes. "Let's get this straight Princess, I'm not your friend, I'm not your ally. I'm your enemy. Don't think of me as anything else." And with that Shego left the room, leaving a stunned and hurt Kim behind.

Baron's foot slapped hard against the hard, cold forest floor his gaze upon Drakken's lair. Baron grinned, "Found you, Shego."
