Project 59 by Bonez aka HappyNoodleGurl Chapter 32

As the liquid drained from the cylinder, Lain sucked her spider legs into her back and took a deep breath. When it was completely dry, she pushed on the glass door and stepped outside. Red smiled as she walked toward him, listening to the rythmatic beat of her metal boots "clinking" on the tile floor in a slow steady beat.

"My Tallest Red, it is an honor to be talking to you once again," she said bowing to him like a knight would to his King Athur. Placing his claws underneath her chin, he guided her to look up at him. "You, my dear, bow to no one." Giving him an empty smile as he helped her up, she followed his motion while he bent down to give her a kiss.

Purple watched, disgusted. Red was in total obsession over her! He saw it in his eyes, and that type of obsession was dangerous. He had to get out of that room soon, otherwise he'd go crazy. After all, he WAS wondering what type of snacks inhabited that planet below them that they traveled to in such a hurry........"

Red met her cold lips. A small shiver crawled up his back pleasurably, as he lost himself in her icy mouth. Pulling her closer, he wanted more of that coldness. She didn't mind, as she had no heart. His claws went down to explore, until his comrad spoke up, ruining the whole moment.

"Erm, Red? Look, I'm going down to the planet to uh........check things out, ok?" Purple said, sipping on a random ice drink. Red pulled away from Lain, annoyed by the interferance. "Sure, whatever, just don't get caught. Oh, and DON'T wait up, ok? Come back with some snacks and we'll.....uh.......talk or something later ok? Knock yourself out, bye-bye!" He said, ending abrubtly, leaving no more room to reply.

Purple gave him a dirty look, muttering underneath his breath as he walked out of the room. "Sure........have fun......." Red shrugged his shoulders at his reply, and as soon as Purp shut the door, he looked back down at Lain seductively. She just stared at him with a mechanical smile. He ran his claws through her silver hair and whispered in her ear. "I want you............always on my mind." Without a blink, she placed her hand ontop of his and guided it down her face, warming her skin with his touch. "Whatever you wish my Tallest, is yours."

With that reply, she moved his touch to her chest as she leaned up and started to kiss him again. The universe was quiet and still, and the Massive floated next to Earth's moon without a sound. Nothing that serene would ever think of the impending doom that was born on that moment, inside the grand ship that was the temporary home for the Tallests. It was more than just a sick obsession, now it had turned into something much more as Red played with his new toy.............

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

Zim sat in his room on the Massive, bent over deep in thought. So he was back, the Tallests were here on their grand ship with the Armada not far behind. He should be happy, after all this is everything he had ever wanted since taking his first step on earths soil. Yet, something was eating at him inside. He killed the one person he loved, all to just please his leaders.

He sat there, wondering if Raye was still alive somewhere inside Project 59's mind. What would she think of him? More, what would 59 think, if she could? He shuddered at the thought, as Kia slowly walked inside. She took off her disguise long ago----so she closed the door quietly and stood there for a moment. She "really" looked kinda like Tak---- she had the same body and antennaes, but here eyes were a softer purple, less intense.

Her pak was smaller, and it poked out of her tight, white lab- coat. Sighing, she stared at Zim, her mate. Her eyes filled with saddness watching him, head buried in his hands. God how she hated that Raye. Shaking the thought of that human off, she walked over and wrapped him in her soothing embrace.

Lying her head on his small shoulder, she cooed in his ear(A/N: whatever he hears with ^^). "Zim........don't fret, I'm still here." He felt the warmth of her body and turned around to meet her eyes. "Why would I, ZIM! be "fretting!?!" Giving him a small kiss on the cheek, she started to massage his back. "Because, allmighty Zim, you look lonely. Need a companion?" she asked, kissing his neck now, moving lower.

Closing his eyes, he smirked at her gentle touch. It had been awhile since she had touched him like that, or kissed him seductively like now. Not a huge kiss like when she appeared on his doorstep a couple days ago, but small kisses. Kisses that made him want more. "No, I don't need anything. But, I wouldn't mind it," he said smugly. She smiled, running her claws up and down his back, making him shiver.

"Do you ever miss me, Zim?" she asked, moving her touch underneath his shirt, warming his spine. "Me? Miss anybody!?!" he asked in that screechy voice we're all familiar with. Kissing the small of his back, he opened his eyes and looked back at his Irken mate, someone who stayed by his side through the good and bad times; who even though he'd never actually admit it because of an ego bigger than his true feelings, craved her voice and touch these hard 20 years.

But what of Raye? He could never tell her the deep crush he had on her, it would break Kia's heart to know of this. But, what he didn't know is that she did infact know, and it DID break her heart. Yet, she didn't want to show it to him. She didn't want to create anymore problems for him.

Kia fell for Zim since the first time she treated him in the ICU portion of the hospital----when the Tallest Spork drugg his burned body there. Spork said that he had been taking the Invader test, and somehow he caused the whole building to catch on fire, and make that whole side of the planet to go on a blackout. Two days later Spork gave a speech to the invaders, and a creature Zim created a long time ago reappeared and ate Spork. Irkens cried.

Life before Zim was quite boring for Kia, she was assigned to be a doctor for the planet Davastis. Then when Red and Purple took reign of Irk, they had to be treated for a couple of days because their 3rd claw was cut off, a ritual all Tallests must go through. She remembered how nice Purple was, but she wasn't so fond of Red. Well, after a small talk, they found out she had no mate. Surprised at this, they told her they'd find her one. When she recommended the short Irken she met a few days back, they begged for her to reconsider, but her mind was made up. Giving in, they assigned Kia to Zim.

Zim was hers, and hers alone. Nobody, not even Raye would have him. She clung tighter to him and played with his antennae. "Well, I'm lonely......" she said, while they forgot about the troubles ahead and that which was happening right now down on Earth...........
