She is Mine – Ch. 9

Fic Info and Update
As always, credit for the idea goes to KS4U and the characters are Disney's. Well, for once, I won't have much to say about this chapter. This should be a very simple one, and I believe shorter than the rest of them, which I apologize for in advance. With college apps, I kind of forgot where I left off so I apologize if this chapter is a little… off. And I am also sorry if the fight scene seems choppy or uncoordinated. Fight scenes have never been my forte, but this will be good practice. =3 Oh and I know that I said there would be ten chapters and an epilogue, but there will only nine and an epilogue. I figured it would just be easier to have the ending picture of KS4U's "She's Mine" picture in the same chapter as the fight scene. Anyway, let's see what Ron has in store for Shego and see how either one may get their ass handed to them in a fight. Oh, and I have TheMightyLemon to thank for part of this fic. He/She will know it when they see it. ^^

------------------

"What makes you say that, you little fuck!" Shego shouted from her perch in the tree. She looked at the torn fabric of her uniform and then back to Ron and growled.

"You had no right to take her from me!" Quickly, Ron took a few steps forward and bounded into the tree after Shego, pulling one of his arms around himself and throwing one of the blades in the woman's direction. Ron's speed was nearly blinding from what Shego had expected to see from him, but she jumped backwards off of the branch and instant before it stabbed into the wood wear the blond young man landed and yanked the blade right out again.

"She's not yours to have!" She put emphasis on the last word. As the tips of her feet hit the ground, she made another rapid leap and lit her hands to circle them with her fiery green plasma. She lunged at Ron, slamming her shoulder into him, too quickly for him to react, and forced him onto his back on the ground. She jumped off of the branch once more and landed next to the boy, pressing one foot into his gut. "What makes you think you have the right to say something like that!?" The woman snarled through her teeth.

"I love her!" He shouted, kicking his legs off of the ground and kicking Shego in the back, which threw her into the cement path five feet from him. She flipped backwards and landed on his feet, standing straight and he looked at Kim. The red head was terrified but Ron couldn't see past that; all he was the woman he loved and the betrayal he felt. "How could you do thi—Argh!" Shego had bounded back and wrapped her arms around his waist to push him to his stomach. She landed on her hand, flipping forward and then landing on her feet, lighting her hands once again.

"She didn't do shit to you, dumbass!" She cursed him. Ron coughed as he stood. He held his blade out straight, pointing them to his enemy.

"That's not true!" He howled before charging at her again. "You're using some form of mind control!" He jumped in the air and kept the blades pointed at Shego, bringing them down on her, but she jumped off to the side and landed near Kim.

"You need to get out of here. He's unstable." Shego hissed and Kim just looked at her terrified, still, almost paralyzed. "C'mon, Princess! Of all the times you fought me, you decide to be scared when he—" She was cut off by Ron running at her and then slicing one of his lotus blades against Shego's arm. The woman growled loudly and then looked at Ron with a new angry fire.

"Kim-San, we must get away!" Yori warned. She rushed toward Kim and grabbed her wrist pulling her away before the girl almost got hit by Ron's shoulder as Shego threw him in the wrong direction. Yori tugged her away until Kim gained the consciousness she needed to walk on her own. She ran just behind the Japanese woman but stopped and looked on at the battle that ensued between her best friend and her new found love.

'What have I done…?' She thought to herself.

Ron was lunging at Shego once again, holding both blades towards her, but she crouched down and held her hands up to grab the young man's arm. She grabbed his arm, but before she could throw him again, he kicked off of her and sent her into the large oak tree. Shego flipped around and pressed her feet to the trunk of the tree at precisely the right moment to push off and fly towards Ron. She slashed her long fingernails against his arm and forced them down into the skin as far as she could to leave large cauterized marks. He howled in pain and turned his body to run the blade against Shego's stomach again. The blade caught in her uniform and a nice gash began to bleed a vibrant shade of red.

"And here I thought you bled the same sickly color as your skin…" He growled in a low gruff voice when Shego knelt to the ground, holding a burning hand to the cut to cauterize it herself. She moaned in pain.

"Looks like assumptions aren't your best quality…" She muttered under her breath before she grabbed his ankles and squeezed her hands against his legs roughly and pulled them out from under him in an instant. He nearly screamed in agony and tried to stand, but his ankles were too sore. Shego stood and looked down at him.

"What gives you the right to claim Kimmie as your own, you blond hair idiot? Huh!? She doesn't belong to you!" Shego pressed her foot to his throat, harder and harder with each passing minute. "Did it ever occur to you that she may be unhappy? That she might want something different than what you had to offer? That she could be happier with someone else? NO!" Ron began to choke, gasping for air. "You didn't even consider that she was unhappy because all you saw was that loving relationship that you wanted to badly!" That's when Ron lifted his arm and shoved one of the blades through the leg that held him down.

"Don't tell me I didn't care about her! I love her! I love her with everything I am!" Shego collapsed again, reaching to cauterize her bleeding calve. Ron stood over her now and slashed one of his blades across Shego's shoulder. "How dare you insult me like that!" Kim was being held back by Yori so she wouldn't get in the way of the battle, crying, nearly screaming at what was going on, but Ron didn't hear her. "You have no right to say that I never took her feeling into consideration!" He yelled.

"Oh yeah..?" Shego winced in pain and looked up at him with the most terrifying of glares. "Then why is she with me…?" Ron's eyes widened with anger and his entire body shook with rage. The blades in his hands begin to glow with an ominous blue aura that surrounded his entire body.

"How dare you!!" He shouted and lifted his arm, the blade in his hand glowing with his ferocity and sharpening to match the damage he wished to inflict. Quickly he brought his arm down ready to shove the blade directly into Shego's chest and—

Kim slammed into the young man, shoving him away and then standing in her defensive battle position. She wore a snarl strikingly similar to Shego's.

"Don't' touch my girl!" Kim yelled at Ron. The young man stood and looked at his former lover with eyes at first of anger, searching for whatever had slammed into him, and then eyes of betrayal she he looked into Kim's. Her eyes were cold and hard. "You've been my best friend for years, Ron, but I have no problem hurting you if you lay a finger on my Shego again!"

"But… Kim… I—"

"Save it! Shego was right. I was never yours to begin with!" Her chest pounded with the confrontation that she was in, her eyes streaming with tears and her hands shaking with every bit of tension that she felt. Yori rushed over to Ron and put a hand on his shoulder, but he was paralyzed; he couldn't move. He was so dumbstruck that he couldn't even move his open jaw.

"Ron-San…" Yori started, but Kim cut her off.

"You need to get him out of here and take those blades away from him." Her voice was hoarse with the rage. Yori just looked up at her for a moment and then back at Ron.

"Ron-Sama, we must go…" She murmured in a soft tone, coaxing the boy to stand. He finally closed his mouth and tears began to pool at the edges of his eyes.

"You mean… You never… you… never—" He was cut off by the harsh glare that Kim gave him.

"Shego... Was… Right…" She enunciated each word clearly and precisely. "Now get out of here before I kick your ass…" Kim fell out of her defensive pose and then knelt down next to Shego, trying to think of a place to wrap her arms around the woman, but couldn't. She looked at Shego with the most longing of eyes and Ron saw this very clearly. He sat there for another moment and then, with Yori's help, he stood, walking towards Kim, dropping his blades lazily as he shuffled to her.

"I'm… Sorry…" Was all he could say.

'Please don't hate me… I still love you, Kim… I always have… At least tell me we can go back to how we used to be… Before this… Before Shego… Before Eric even! Please!'

Ron wanted to beg for those things, scream for them, but all he could do was look at the two women, wishing, hoping that someday, this would all be forgotten, that he would be able to hang out with his—with KP again.

Yori put a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"Ron…" She said softly.

"Yeah, I know…" He muttered. The young man looked at the women for another moment longer before turning to walk back towards the parking lot, the lotus blades, slowly forming into one sword again and sneaking into his hand.

He and Yori left Kim and Shego there, the red head cooing softly in Shego's ear and the mercenary smiling a warm smile, despite her pain.

"Hi hi, Princess…" Shego said softly. Kim smiled and said with a light blush:

"Hi hi… Lover…"

------------------

"There. That should do it." Kim said, eagerly admiring her handy work. She finished bandaging Shego's shoulder, smiling at the success that she had on the first try of wrapping such a difficult area. Hiding her pain for Kim's sake, Shego rolled her shoulder to stretch it. Carefully, she leaned against her good arm on the bed that she and Kim sat upon.

"Aren't you the least bit worried that your parents are going to walk up here?" Shego quipped.

"If they did, I don't really care. 'Sides, I can just say I found you beaten up and then couldn't just leave you there." Shego opened her mouth for a moment trying to find something sarcastic that she could say, but words escaped her, she was so tired. She fell onto her back and "oomphed."

"Alright fine." Shego muttered.

"What's this? Shego without a single sarcastic comment?" Kim poked gently at Shego's ribs and the other woman couldn't help but shift because of how it tickled.

"Yeah, yeah, but don't get used it. Though I hate to admit it, I never had the shit beat out of me like Ron did today…" Shego sighed and lifted herself up a little to look at Kim. "So… You're absolutely sure… This is the decision that you've made? After this, you're stuck with me…." The raven-haired woman looked as though she were looking for some sort of verification that the fight was really worth her… "prize?"

"Shego…" Kim shook her head with a warm smile. She raised her hand to Shego's cheek and cupped it gently, leaning in for a kiss filled with as much passion as Shego had intended for their first. "Would I have stood in between you flaming-handed woman and a mentally insane blond boy with magical blades if I wasn't sure that I was making the right choice…?" Sitting there for a moment the other woman blinked a few times and then wrapped her arm around Kim's stomach and pulled her to the bed and wrapped her other arm around her as well, holding her close and burying her nose in the red tresses that now filled her vision.

"I don't know you might be just as mentally unstable." Kim chuckled softly and buried her own face in Shego's chest.

Rain began to lightly pat against the window outside. Two robins sat under the short roof overhang that blocked them from the cold drops of water and they huddled together, one seeming to lean its head into the other as they stared out into the starry, yet somehow rainy night.

"I might be…" Kim mumbled. "How else would I fall in love with someone like you…?" They both chuckled this time. For a long while, they both laid there in Kim's room, above the sheets of her bad. The only light that shined on them was that of the hall which came through the cracked door. Silently, Shego listened to Kim's breathing, finding an odd comfort that she had never felt before in the small huffing sound. The scent that surrounded her was one that she never expected in her life to find the least bit appealing, but now it was one that she never wanted to live without.

Slowly Kim began to drift off to sleep and Shego could feel the slowing heart-rate of the tired hero. Shego laid there for a while enjoying the feel of her hero against her body, the first feel of both of them together, the first of them being close without having any issues clouding the situation. To herself she began to think:

My Princess… For so long I have waited to hold you like this, to feel you against me… Though I denied for year, I can't do that anymore… I love you, Kim… And I promise to keep you safe from anything that threatens you. I would fight entire armies, destroy entire worlds, go to hell and back, just to see you smile. Though I have done so far too many times in the past… I promise that I will never forsake you now… You are mine… Not an object, but my love… And I will treat you like the royalty that you are… I would gladly get on my knees as your servant and kiss the back of your hand if it meant that I would be able to touch you just once…. And you know I would never do that for anyone… I… Love… You… My Princess…

Tears began to well up in Shego's and she just buried her face into Kim's hair, running her fingers through it softly. In her sleep, Kim wrapped her arms around Shego's waist, gently. Shego lay there, enjoying her "prize," taking pride in the fact that Kim was holding her own "prize." She was victorious and she knew it. She knew it wasn't a dream, She knew that this was real. She knew that when she woke in the morning, she would feel Kim in her arms still and that the girl wouldn't disappear. She knew that everything was finally going to be okay.

And To the Victor Belong the Spoils….

The End
