Author's Note and Disclaimer:  This is a dark little fic that I thought up when I was in a strange mood.  Things may become a little disturbing in later chapters so be warned.  That's all I can say without spoiling it right now.  BTW, I don't own Kim Possible or any other characters.  They belong to Disney. 

Loyalty Lies Within

Kim Possible's Kimmunicator beeped frantically just as she was about to head home from school for a relaxing evening with her best friend, Ron Stoppable.  "Well, looks like Naco night is going to be postponed." She muttered, fishing the device from her pocket.  "What's the sitch, Wade?"

"It's Drakken!" The young boy on the screen said anxiously.

"That's a shocker." Ron poked his head over Kim's shoulder into Wade's view. "Leave it to the blue freak to ruin Naco night!"

"Awww…. no Nacos." A small, hairless creature whined from the pocket of Ron's cargo pants.

"Sorry Rufus, business before pleasure buddy."  Ron stroked the naked mole rat's head soothingly. 

"What's he done this time?" Kim asked.

"I'm not sure what he's up to, but video surveillance from the Middleton Museum captured Shego stealing the ten carat blue diamond on display.  I've tracked their location to an abandoned warehouse on the lower east side of the city.  I'm sending you the address now." 

"Soooo typical." Kim commented.  "We're on it, Wade."  She switched off the Kimmunicator and dropped it back into her pocket.  Turning to Ron, she said "This will be a cinch, we'll be home in an hour and still have time for Naco night." 

"Yeah, try telling that to my stomach!" The blond boy groaned, rubbing his midsection.

"Here's your rock."  The green and black clad villianess dropped a million dollar diamond into her associate's lap. 

"Excellent work, Shego.  Excellent."  Dr. Drakken murmured as he studied the diamond, rolling it lovingly over his fingertips. 

"What are you going to do with it?"  Shego asked curiously.

"Nothing."

"WHAT?  You mean I had to go out and risk getting busted simply because you wanted a pretty rock!"  Shego could feel her blood pressure rising with each word.

"Relax before you hurt yourself, Shego."  The blue-skinned villain said calmly.  "It's all part of my plan."

"Oh no, not another one of your oh-so-brilliant schemes."  Shego sighed and plopped down at the table, placing her hands under her chin in boredom.

"I had you steal the diamond merely to attract Kim Possible's attention." Drakken's eyes lit up as he began to explain his intentions.

"Are you kidding me?  You actually want that little brat poking her nose around here?"

"Exactly!  Now tell me, if Kim Possible has one weakness, what would it be?"  Drakken asked.

Shego cocked her head slightly, long black tresses falling over her shoulder.  She was obviously giving the question serious consideration before answering.  "Well, I guess it would be that goofy sidekick of hers.  She seems to have a thing for him." 

"Right!  And wherever Kim goes, the buffoon always follows!" 

"So?"  Shego rolled her eyes at Drakken's statement of the obvious. "Where are you going with this?" 

"I think I've finally figured out a way to break Kim's spirit once and for all!"  Drakken's voice dripped with excitement. 

Shego stared at him with renewed interest.  "Let me guess, we're going to torture him while we make her watch!"  A smile spread across her face as the plan began to take shape.

"No, worse than that Shego.  We want to break her spirit, not piss her off."

"So what do you have in mind?" 

"We're going to turn him against her!  Imagine the look on little Kimmie's face when her trusted friend suddenly turns bad and betrays her!"  Drakken howled with evil laughter. 

"Hmmm…I think you may be onto something here, Dr. D." Shego smirked with malice in her eyes.
