Disclaimer: This chapter will look a little more into Shego's powers.
Chapter 10:
Possible Residence:
After having lunch in the mall's food court and then dropping Monique off at home, Kim and Shego headed home, so that she could wrap Rafael's gift. While she sat on Kim's bed, wrapping the gift, Kim decided to repeat her earlier question.
"So, what caused you to miss his birthday before?"
"I was in the hospital."
Shego replied, not looking up from the task in front of her.
"What happened?"
"Ayumi got really drunk and beat the shit out of me. It wasn't the first time she had beat me either, but it was the first time she had ever put me in the hospital."
The whole time Shego had spoken she hadn't stopped wrapping Rafael's gift, and her voice sounded so calm. It was almost as if what she was saying wasn't a big deal. However, Kim didn't see it that way, and her hatred for Ayumi grew tenfold.
"That bitch."
Kim snarled, her eyes burning with anger. Hearing her fiancée's words, Shego set the gift aside and pulled Kim into her lap. She then kissed Kim on the cheek, in order to help her calm down.
"Easy there, Princess. It happened before we even met, no need to get upset. Besides, I'm still here and that's all that matters, right?"
"Yeah, but you know I don't like people I love getting hurt, even if circumstances were beyond my control."
"Believe me Kim, you're not alone in that. Tai never liked seeing me hurt either. In fact, in it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't be here. Ayumi may not look like she's that strong, but that girl can pack a punch. Especially when she's drunk as hell."
"Well I'm glad you had someone looking out for you."
"Me too."
"However, I hope you realize that if Ayumi so much as looks at you the wrong way, I'm going to open up a can of whoop ass on her."
"Have I told you how much I love you?"
"Yes, but I still love hearing you say it."
"Well in that case, I love you, my little lesbian psycho."
"I may be a psycho, but I'm a psycho that cares."
"And that's another reason why I love."
Shego said, kissing Kim lightly. Kim happily returned the kiss, then snuggled into Shego. It was at that moment however, that Kim noticed something strange.
"Hmm."
"What?"
Shego asked, wondering what could be on the redhead's mind.
"You're really warm."
"Well it is hot out today."
"No, it's not that. You're like overly warm. How are you not uncomfortable?"
"Maybe because I feel fine, and I'm wearing shorts and a tank top. Would you rather I be naked?"
"Of course, but I do live with my parents and younger brothers."
"Hmm, yes I can see how that would be a problem."
Kim then jumped suddenly, and let out a yelp.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine, you just shocked me is all."
Kim said, rubbing her side. She then took a look at Shego, and when she did her jaw dropped.
"What is it?"
Kim didn't say anything, and pointed to Shego's arms. When Shego looked down, she could see black lightning swirling around them, slowing making it's way up to her face. Both of the girls were well acquainted with Shego's powers, but neither of them had ever seen something like this before. As the lightning continued to make its way up to Shego's face, she let out a groan of pain and held her head in her hands.
"Ciel, are you okay?"
Shego remained silent, and clamped her eyes shut as the power of her lightning intensified. After a few minutes a low growl began to emanate from her throat.
"Ciel?"
Kim took a step closer to her, and up further inspection, she saw that Shego's teeth were bared and that she was sporting a pair of fangs. She also saw that Shego's nails had more of a claw like appearance to them. Kim then sat down in front of Shego, and placed hands on her shoulders. When she looked at her face, she saw that the lightning was going into Shego's eyes.
"Ciel, look at me."
Shego's eyes remained shut.
"Ciel, please look at me."
Still, Shego's eyes remained shut and Kim could see that Shego's claws were beginning to pierce the side of her head. Not want her fiancée to cause injury to herself, Kim decided to get forceful.
"Dammit Ciel, look at me!"
Kim yelled, giving Shego a shake.
Shego's eyes then snapped open, and what Kim saw made her gasp. For gone were Shego's emerald green eyes, and instead they were replaced with a ruby red color. Unsure of what to do or say, Kim grabbed Shego's hands, and placed them around herself. She then wrapped her arms around Shego, and held her close.
"It's okay, love, it's okay."
Kim whispered soothingly as she felt Shego's body tense up. Kim then let out a small whimper of pain, as she felt Shego's claws dig into the back of her shoulders.
As she felt the warm blood trickle down, Kim held fast to Shego. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she was determined to do whatever it took to help her fiancée get through it. After few moments, Shego's eyes rolled into the back of her head, and her body went limp. Kim then laid back onto the bed, with Shego lying on top of her.
While she laid there holding her love close, Kim gave her a chaste kiss on her forehead and spoke softly to her.
"I have no idea what the hell just happened, but I'm going to help you in any way I can. And I promise, I'm not going anywhere."
Kim then closed her eyes, and fell into a light slumber, holding Shego close to her.
A few hours later, Kim woke up to find her mom sitting next to her, dressing her wounds.
"Mom?"
Anne looked at her daughter, and smiled warmly at her.
"I'm glad you're awake, how do you feel?"
"A little sore, but other than that I'm alright."
"I'm glad. I had originally come up here, to let you know that dinner was ready, until I saw that blood. So I moved Ciel off of you, and began treating your injuries. Kim, what happened?"
Kim then told her mom about the event that had transpired. After she had finished her story, Anne had a look of shock on her face.
"Oh my, is she okay?"
Kim looked over at Shego, and saw that she was still sleeping.
"Looks like it."
Kim said, gently running her fingers through Shego's hair. She then took a look at her hands, and saw that the claws were gone. As Kim continued to run her fingers through her hair, Shego began to stir.
"Wake up, lazy butt."
Kim giggled. Shego then opened eyes and looked at her fiancée's smiling face.
"Her eyes are back to their normal color, that's good."
Kim thought.
"Good afternoon, sleep well?"
"Ugh, I feel like I got hit with a semi."
Shego then took a look at Kim's shoulders.
"What happened to you?"
"You mean you don't remember?"
Shego shook her head, and Kim proceeded to tell her what she had told Anne. When she had finished telling the story for the second time, Shego had a look of guilt on her face.
"I'm sorry."
Kim grabbed a hold of her hand, and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"It's okay, love. All I care about is whether or not my angel is okay."
Shego took Kim's hand and brought it to her lips, giving it a loving kiss.
"I'm okay, Princess. Are you okay?"
Kim nodded her head, and gave Shego a loving smile. Anne smiled warmly at the pair, as she finished patching up Kim's wounds. Anyone with a brain would be able to see how much Kim and Shego loved each other. However, Anne couldn't help but be a little concerned about what Kim had told her.
"I hope that whatever happened to Ciel, doesn't cause problems for her and Kim."
