A.N.
This chapter was written a little differently than others. I actually wrote them at different times in different moods.
Enjoy!

Chapter28- A Passionate Dinner
Shego kicked Kim on to her knees. She was still cut and bruised, but not as bad as before. In fact, she seems to have recovered pretty quickly. Drakken was hoping to see if the rumors were true about her. That she had indeed resembled a bloated seal.
Behind his desk his eyes shifted from the panting Kim to the anxious Portly.He pursed his lips and nodded, "Well done, captain!"
He got out of his chair and walked over to the duo standing over Kim.
"Or should I say Head of HQ Defenses!" he allured while placing an arm on Portly's shoulder.
"Thank you, sir!" he replied with a slight blush. Drakken's smile quickly faded as he removed his arm off of the captain.
"But next time I expect my deliveries to arrive on time!"
"Will do, milord!"
"Good. Now leave."
Portly quickly marched his fat self out of the office as Drakken watched him in dissappointment. Good assistants are so hard to find these days. Once the door closed shut he glanced at Shego, who's eyes gestured down at Kim with a smile.
A smirk crept across Drakken's cheeks and he winced at Shego.
"So, Kim Possible, you've proven to be a worthy adversary…"
"Oh, shut up!" Kim snapped.
Without second thought Drakken nodded with a serious face and Shego immediately swung a kick into Kim's stomach.
"I hear you've had quite an adventure!" Drakken sneered, "What with the rebellion and all. You've taken out my best officers, attacked a heavily armed camp and even freed the prisoners!" Drakken's hand rushed to his lips, "Oh! I see all that didn't come without a cost…did it Kim?"
Her head lowered in shame.
"You've lost your father, a member of the team and your…boyfriend!"
"He's not…"
Another kick from Shego silenced her. She was hoping that she could protect Ron from being used against her. Drakken allowed a smile and crouched to her level, "Trust me, Kimmie. We know exactly what goes through his mind!"
Kim was ready to spit in his face had she not had trouble breathing. He stood back up and puffed out his chest.
"I would've killed you here and now, but you're strong…I'll give you that much. On second thought, I think you'll do well to serve under my command!"
Horror overcame her, "Wha-?"
"Just like the buffoon did!" he turned and looked at the snickering Shego, "Honey, I believe our guest would like a temporary residence in one of our rooms, do you mind showing her?"
"Let's go princess!"
Shego pulled Kim's collar and dragged her out of the room. A remarkable amount of pride filled Drakken's heart with glee. All of a sudden it seems his dreams are coming true…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The red hair held tightly in one grip and collar in the other, Shego dragged Kim and then threw her into a small brightly lit room.
"Having a nice time, princess?" she chuckled, "Don't try anything cute!"
The door slid shut, leaving Kim huddled in the midde, miserable and cold.
----------------------------------------
Drakken stood in his quarters facing a tall mirror. He dusted off his white military style suit, which he originally planned to wear for his ceremony at the end of this war, but since this is such a special occasion for him and Shego he decided to go for it.
With a wide smile stretching both cheeks he posed heroicly before leaving the room.
He walked through the corridor presenting his good mood to every officer who passed until he finally turned into what used to be a regular cafeteria for those off duty, which he transformed for this occasion into a fancy restaurant.
It's amazing what a little redecorating could do!
There sat Shego on a table for two, in her usual green and black dress, except she did something rathar different with her hair, which caught him by surprise.
"Hello Shego," Drakken snickered in his usual tone and slipped into his seat opposite his employer, or should she now be considered a friend? "Enjoying your time?"
"I'm impressed!" she explained.
Strangely Drakken couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or not, what with her leaning her chin on her hand, like that. Or was it because she just didn't like to show her enthusiam. But that's what makes her such an interesting character. He weird personality is probably what he likes about her. Although it can be frustrating at times…other times it can be hurtful.
"Well, it wouldn't be an occasion if it's not impressive, right?" Drakken hopfeully added.
"Shego shrugged, "Well, whatever makes you happy, I guess."
Drakken didn't know what to make of what she said. His face remained still, but on the inside he was collapsing. Perhaps he didn't do enough? Was she trying to put him down? Or doesn't she know that her words are wounding.
Shego realized the still look Drakken gave her. There was a kind of hurt in his eyes. Does she really sound so unappreciative? She didn't mean to be…it's just that she never complimented anyone before why should she do it now? It feels weird.
But, she doesn't want to crush his feelings…
Oh who's she kidding…she's making herself feel bad as well!
"But…I'm ferociously happy!" She blushed.
"Seriously?" Drakken smiled.
"Truly!" she smiled back.
Drakken gave a sigh of relief. She's happy. That's what matters. This evening is going to be amazing, if not, then it could just be the best evening of his entire life.
--------------------------------------------
Kim could only wait. And hope.
In case help does arrive, she's going to need to be ready. Fighting off all the demons inside her heart, she managed to get up and stretch her arms and legs. If help does arrive she's the only agent inside the fortress that can do significant damage. She's trained. Prepared. She was born for this. She was raised for this. Fighting evil is what she does. And nothing can stop her. She was silly enough to stop herself, silly enough to allow her parents to convince her that this was wrong, because it's not wrong. Doing her purpose is the most right thing one can do. And now is the time to do it! Now is the time to stirke!
----------------------------------------------
The fork carried the pea into Shego's mouth. At the other end were Drakken's nimble fingers. She blushed slightly when she swallowed the pea, but Drakken didn't mind. He thought it was sweet.
He sat back in his seat, ignoring the baffled eyes of his guards at the other end of the room, and instead glared into the gazing eyes of his most favourite partner. He always saw her, not just as a co-worker, but also as family. And even at her young age, he never looked at her as a daughter, but more of…a mate.
It's strange. He's never pictured her in any other way. She was always there to help him, and he tried his best to be there for her.
And now, things are beginning to look up for the both of them. Who knows what the future could hold…a future with her could be just as true as the glass of wine he's sipping right now.
---------------------------------------------------
Her fists struck the air as swiftly as a scorpion thrusts its tail. Her energy was flowing again, her blood was rushing, and her sweat was running. In this cold room, Kim was the only heat-producing object. The air flowed around her as she transformed into a lethal instrument. A fighting form would expose and quickly disappear, as another form would disclose at the spur of the moment. She hadn't left a single thing she was taught, or move she witnessed or even an idea she had thought about that she hadn't practiced. She ignored her whining bruises, her aching bones and her groaning stomach. Let there be no excuses this time. If her time comes…she's not going to try. She's going to win!
