Chapter 10

Your tender embrace

Kim's tears ran silently down her cheeks. It felt like hours had passed since she killed the thing that Drakken had become. The remains of his corpse lay scattered a few feet away. Parts of his skeleton stuck out of the fleshy mass that rested on the floor. Kim felt empty, almost as if her soul died when she set foot into the building. Any sanity that she had left withered away.

"I can't do this. I'm not strong enough…" She thought. Kim stood up steadily; her eyes became fixed on the small armory of experimental weapons, when her eyes stopped on a small handgun. She walked over to it and placed her hand on it, her mind trying to reason with what she was about to do, but she ignored it.

"Don't do it." A voice whispered to her. Kim closed her eyes, and she picked up the gun, pulling back on the slide. "Stop" the voice pleaded with her, but she continued. "I can't live without you." The voice said. Kim's eyes widened, and she turned around. Shego was standing right behind her. Her eyes looking back deeply into hers. Shego took Kim's hand and took the gun, placing it on a table nearby.

"Shego?" Kim cried. She wrapped her arms around her and embraced her tightly, not wanting to let go. "...but you?"

"I didn't mean to leave your side." She replied. Kim released Shego and looked down at the ground, the tears still running down her face. Shego wiped the tears from her face and smiled. She looked around and glanced at the remains on the ground and looked away, she knew who it was, and pulled Kim with her. Shego shorted out the large security door and the two left. They walked back into the brightly lit corridors and continued on their way. They only walked for a few seconds when Kim realized that she hadn't let go of Shego's hand. Taking advantage of the situation, she pulled Shego into an open room with a few large tables, microscopes and computers.

"When we were back in the weapons room, you just… disappeared. Where did you go?" Kim asked.

"I don't know Kimmy, at first everything went black. I was somewhere cold and then, I heard you crying, so I ran, I felt like I was running forever, but then, I was back. And there you were, crying… I know something grabbed me, almost like it pulled me into the darkness."

"Shego… I was scared that I had lost you." Kim wept. She raised her head up and looked into Shego's eyes. Pulling her close, she kissed her on the lips. Their arms wrapped tenderly around each other, they caressed the contours of the other. Not wanting to stop. "I love you." Kim whispered into Shego's ear, kissing behind her neck.

"I love you too." Shego replied, moving Kim over to a wall, and aggressively pressing her against it. Shego kissed the side of Kim's neck, playfully biting her ear and sucking on her neck. The two girls slowly became lost in each others embrace. Shego reached for the concealed zipper in Kim's battle suit and slowly grabbed hold of it, pulling it down...

"I've wanted this for so long." Kim whispered.

"Me too." Shego ran her fingers through Kim's red hair, and pulled on it, pulling back on Kim's head. She then pressed her lips under her chin, kissing her. Shego became more assertive, wanting more, and pulled down the battle suit to Kim's waist. She looked down ever so slightly and admired Kim's beautiful athletic body. The villainess held up both of Kim's arms up by the wrists with one of her hands. She smiled playfully as she kissed Kim's breast, her lips teasingly grazing her nipple. Kim bit her lower lip, and quietly gasped, as the warm breath from Shego made her sensitive.

"Your skin is so soft." Shego smiled. "I think this is the first time that I've 'captured' you and you didn't fight back." Shego slowly drew her lips to Kim's breast, her tongue softly running a circle around her nipple. Kim flinched and closed her eyes as her entire body shivered.

"You're so bad." Kim said, squirming a little.

"I thought that was established a long time ago." Shego quipped as she released Kim's wrists and grabbed the battle suit resting on her waist and slid it off. The suit fell to the ground and Kim blushed. Shego had a devious look on her face as she ran her hands down Kim's sides. Her soft fingers trailing towards her inner thighs. Kim's heart began racing, her every inch was sensitive to the touch. Shego moved Kim off to the side, kicking aside her battle suit, and leading her towards a clean table.

Kim carefully sat down on the edge of the table and Shego leaned close to her ear, "I told you that one day I'd get you…" Shego pushed Kim on her back and spread Kim's legs apart. She then kneeled down and kissed Kim's inner thigh, taking both legs, she pulled them over her shoulders. Her mouth gradually approached 'her', until finally; Shego softly ran her tongue on her. Its very tip swirled around, firmly pressing down, and causing Kim to breathe faster.

Unbeknownst to them, the lights outside began dying, their bright white glow, dimming black. The sounds of countless whispers, chattering incoherently, as thin creatures, that appeared impoverished, slowly advanced towards them. Out of the growing darkness a human like figured walked, and the tiny creatures, clearing a path. The figure almost feared by the smaller, lesser, beings, stopped a few yards away, staring towards were Kim and Shego were.

"Can we kill them?" whispered one of the small creatures, asking the human-like, shadowy figure, but the figure remained silent. The small creature impatiently scratched away at the ground, scraping away small layers. Indistinct voices began to whisper a little louder; their prattle almost taking an impatient tone. The human-like figure slowly began to sink back into the pitch black behind, disappearing, almost as if it were never there. The countless creatures became silent, as they retreated quietly, and the lights gradually turned back on.

Meanwhile, back in the room, Kim let the ends of her fiery red hair teasingly drag across Shego's body. She carefully brought her body to rest on top of Shego's, her head resting on Shego's chest, the sound of her heart, comforting her. Something deep inside of Kim kept nagging that their journey was nearing an end. And maybe things could return back to normal. Kim sighed quietly, as she drifted into thought.

"Once this is all over, are we going to be enemies again?" Kim asked.

Shego remained silent for a few seconds, thinking, her mind processing all of her choices, "We've been fighting each other for a while now Kimmy, but I don't think I want to fight forever." She replied.

"I don't want to fight you anymore. And 'this', this thing that just happened between me and you, I like it." Kim smiled.

Shego became quiet, almost as if something else were on her mind. Her smile disappeared as she stared up at the ceiling. "Kim…"

"Hmm?"

"…" Shego held her words. A silent battle waged in the pits of her heart, "…we should get going. We can't stay in one place too long, those things will find us…" she said, both of them stood up, getting dressed and gearing up.

Kim felt as if something was being kept from her, but she shrugged it off, and checked a small gauge imbedded into the suits sleeve. The gauge measured the amount of energy left, it read at full power. They both grabbed anything that they could use from the room and exited it. Not wasting anytime they headed towards the nearby elevator, pressing the call button, the door opened and they entered it. The door closed in front of them and Kim pressed the button taking them to the bottom level. The small elevator shook during its final descent.
