Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Kim Possible
Chapter 9
Ron, Bonnie and Tara were all ecstatic as they watched the scenery pass them by. Kim remembered that she was just like them the first time she arrived on the island. Round eyed like a kid who just entered an eat all you can candy store, she took in then everything that her eyes could lay upon. It wasn't really surprising that they had the same reaction because the island was indeed so beautiful that you would definitely fall in love with it the first time you see it.
"I'm happy that you like our small island." Gerard told them with a smile. The three simply nodded in response and then once again looked outside as they marvelled at the beauty of nature.
"We're almost home now." Angel announced as she saw the village disappearing off into the distance. Kim wanted to say something, ask about the kids or Aunt Natalie but memories of how she left made her feel guilty and prevented her from saying anything.
It took the car a couple more minutes until it finally stopped in front of the large mansion. Its beauty earned it compliments from the newly arrived guest making Angel feel proud that she was working here while Gerard laughed jollily and thanked them for their praise.
The two quickly gathered the guest's belongings and then gestured them to follow as the two headed first into the mansion. As soon as they entered the three quickly looked around and saw that the inside of the mansion boasted the same beauty just like what they saw outside.
Kim's mind, however, was off somewhere else as the realization of meeting Shego finally dawned on her. This was the real deal and in a couple of minutes she was finally going to see the raven haired beauty once again.
Ron, sensing Kim's uneasiness, quickly moved to his best friend's side and then hugged her with one arm. Bonnie and Tara saw what had happened and they moved to hug Kim as well. It took them a couple of minutes before they finally let go of each other.
"Okay, here's the game plan." Ron told the three women as they separated. "The three of us will go to the beach to swim and sunbathe while you take care of the dragon lady." Kim raised an eyebrow at him while Tara simply giggled.
"Ron Stoppable," Bonnie said in between gritted teeth. Ron nervously laughed at her before looking back at Kim asking for help. However no help came as Bonnie suddenly pinched his nose and then dragged him to follow her to where Gerard and Angel went. Meanwhile Tara stayed behind to talk to the young redhead and make sure that she was ready with what she was about to do.
"Well be here if you need us." She reassured Kim while she held both of the redhead's hands.
"Thanks Tara." Kim replied before pulling away to go up the stairs to the second floor.
She was already a couple of flights up when she turned to look at the blond at the bottom of the stairs. Kim called down to her and told her something she forgot to mention before she went up.
"Thank Bonnie and Ron for me okay." Kim told her with a smile.
"Hey don't talk like that. You sound like you're not coming back." Tara joked before giving her a warm smile.
The redhead simply smiled back to Tara and then proceeded towards her destination. It took her only a couple of seconds until she was standing in front of a door made of red maple with decorations of flowers and birds.
"Never would have imagined." Kim thought to herself as she reached for the knob and slowly turned it to open the door.
What she saw inside of the room surprised as it was a complete mess and all the furniture lay on the floor broken while claw and scorch marks designed the walls. The scent of burned wood and other stuff lingered in the air alarming Kim that she needed to proceed with caution as she spoke with Shego.
Kim tried to look around and look for the raven haired beauty but due to the lights being broken it was a hard thing to do. Slowly and cautiously she moved around until she heard someone moan from the bed across the room.
Looking towards the direction of the sound, Kim saw what looked like a four poster bed or used to be something like it but was now just a mattress with a pile of debris on it. Kim not seeing everything clearly, cautiously walked towards it while still keeping her guard up.
"What happened here?" Kim asked herself mentally. As if answering her question, another moan was heard from the bed only this time a figure resting on it stirred.
"Princess?" Shego asked groggily as she rubbed her eyes. This froze Kim in her spot as she saw how Shego looked at her. It was a mixture of both disbelief and longing, something she never thought would affect her so much.
Giving the raven haired woman a once over, Kim noticed that her usually well kept hair was a complete mess and her clothes were completely tattered. She was in awe thought as she saw that even though Shego was a complete mess right now, she still looked very beautiful and very hot.
She expected Shego to say something to her once they had met but the raven haired beauty just sat there looking at her.
After a couple of seconds Shego suddenly burst into tears, pulling her legs close to her chest and then leaned her head on her knees. Kim's heart broke at the sight of this but she didn't know what to do. She had never seen Shego act this way and never in a million years did she even think that she would see the raven haired beauty like this.
All that she thought about when she left the island was how betrayed she felt by what the raven beauty did and nothing else other than that. She didn't even think about the people around them. That was when a realization hit her.
Slowly she continued to walk closer to the bed until Shego suddenly raised her head, stopping Kim from getting any closer. Teary eyed she looked at Kim before finally saying something that surprised the redhead.
"Why do you keep haunting me?" Shego asked with a hoarse voice. Kim didn't know what to reply as she didn't understand what Shego meant. All she could do was look back at the raven beauty that looked at her as if she was lost.
Kim motioned to close the gap between her and Shego when all of a sudden the unexpected happened, Shego's hand bursted with plasma surprising Kim in the process. She was about to say something to stop Shego from what she was about to do when all of a suddenly a plasma blast passed just mere inches away from her face.
"Get away from me!" Shego shouted at her. "Leave me alone! You're not my princess." She continued shouting and crying while she threw plasma balls at Kim's direction.
Luckily for Kim she has experience dodging these plasma balls or else she could have ended up like one of the furniture on the floor. Making quick work in closing the gap between her and Shego, Kim tackled the raven beauty and then straddled her just for safety.
Shego's eyes went the size of dinner plates when her supposed hallucination suddenly jumped her and is now currently straddling her. Without trying to break free of redhead's hold on her, she looked up to see a panting Kimmie on top of her.
"Princess?" Shego asked in disbelief as the realization that it was really Kim on top of her.
"You don't make it easy for people to talk to you, you know that?" Kim told her in between breaths as she slowly moved off Shego. Confused by Kim's sudden appearance, Shego slowly sat up and faced the redhead beside her.
"Is that really you? Are you really here with me right now?" Shego asked as she continuously touched Kim's face and arms, making sure that the person in front of her was not one of her hallucinations.
"Yes, it's me." Kim answered with a giggle as Shego's hand grazed her side and tickled her.
"How? Why?" Shego asked Kim, still both lost and shocked due to the redhead being back at her side.
"One at a time," Kim said as she tried to calm the raven haired beauty. "I'll answer your questions one at a time so no need to rush. I'm not going anywhere." Hearing this Shego quickly pulled Kim closer and then hugged her tight.
"I'm not taking chances." Shego whispered to her ear as she felt the warmth of the redhead's body close to hers. "I'm never letting you go again."
"I'm just here to talk. I haven't forgiven you yet just so you know." Kim told Shego in an emotionless tone making the latter stiffen. Shego loosened her hold of the redhead and then quietly moved a couple of inches away from her.
"What did you want to talk about?" Shego asked weakly as she tried to avoid Kim's eyes. She knew that Kim was both angry and hurt because of what she had done but when she learned that Kim was really back by her side, she couldn't help but hope that the redhead had already forgiven her.
"I wanted to know why you did it." Kim told her before reaching for Shego's hand. Gently she grabbed it and then pulled it close to her chest. Shego lowered her gaze and then breathed in deep before finally speaking up.
"It's because I love you." Shego admitted to her. There were no flowery words, no long speech and mind wreaking explanation. All she felt and all the reasons she did what she did was summed up in those few words.
Kim just stared at Shego with her mouth ajar. She expected Shego to have this grand scheme explaining the things she did and why she did it but those few words hit her where she was most vulnerable, the heart. Completely overwhelmed by emotions both women slowly felt tears roll down their cheeks. Neither one of them spoke but everything they wanted to say were relayed by the looks and smiles they gave each other.
"I love you with all my heart." Shego told Kim. "I'm sorry for all that I've done but I promise you, all that I've done was because I love you."
More tears rolled down Kim's cheek as Shego's confession blew apart the dam of emotions she kept hidden inside her heart. Gently Shego pulled Kim closer to her and then combed the redhead's hair.
"I know you're angry at me and you have every right to be but please all I'm asking you is to forgive me and give me a chance to show you that I really love you."
"Just give me a second chance." Shego begged.
