A/N: Wow, I'm really sorry it took me so long to update. My family and I went on a vacation and we're going to take another one on Friday, so don't expect any more updates until Tuesday or Wednesday, maybe even later. Be warned, there won't be full-out action until the next chapter, so hold your horses fight lovers. It looks as though the next chapter will be all about Shego fighting Kura. Of course, Drakken, Kimmie, and Ronald will be getting in the way. I was starting to think of killing someone off, but I dont' know. Who knows! Maybe someone will die by the end of the next chapter. But, nah, that would ruin most of what I'm thinking about...Oh, well. You'll all just have to wait and see, I suppose....Enjoy!

For a long moment, no one moved, spoke, or said anything else. Shego, finally fully aware of the situation, shoved Drakken roughly off herself and stood up briskly, only slightly red in the face. Kim almost instantly took a fighting stance and Shego frowned at the girl.

"Strange...I thought I killed you." She said after a pause.

"Nope. I'm a Possible, remember?" Kim replied swiftly, her eyes narrowed.

"Pfftt, more like a cockroach." Shego retorted, folding her arms unconcernedly over her chest. Kim let out a growl of fury and rushed forward. Kura sighed and held out her right arm, a bit too quickly, as Kim didn't even see it rise and slammed into it. Kura blinked and grinned apologetically while Kim gasped in surprise and hit the floor.

"Sorry about that, but we didn't come here to fight, remember, kiddo?" Kura said, putting her hands in the pockets of her black shorts. It was Shego's turn to narrow her eyes; she herself had hardly seen Kura's arms swing out to catch Kim. She supposed it was a good thing her own ring was settled safely in her pocket.

"Not here to fight? That's no fun..." Shego said coolly, her smirk returning as she put her hand calmly into the pocket that held her ring. Kura cocked her head to the side, watching Shego almost apprehensively.

"You don't seriously wish to fight me in your PJs, eh?" Kura asked, her hands still in her pockets. Shego's smirk grew and she gave a shrug.

"It looks like it, doesn't it?"

"Look, there is really no point in us fighting...All I want is my ring back. You give it to me and we'll be gone like we weren't even here."

"Weren't even here?! You tore a hole in my wall!" Drakken yelped suddenly, rushing to Shego's side.

"Dr.D, you should get back..." Shego said quietly to him, the smirk fading; Drakken looked at her, frowning.

"Oh come on, Shego, what can she possibly do?" Drakken asked her, taking the hint and keeping his voice down.

"Apparently a lot...I almost couldn't follow her when she stopped Kimmie.." Shego replied, her voice still low. Kura smirked and pushed brown hair from her pale white eyes, guessing what they were discussing.

"You should listen to her, Drakkie-boy. She knows what she's talking about." Kura said idly, returning her hand to her pocket when she was satisfied with her hair's position. Drakken's eyes flew from Shego to Kura and he took a slow step backwards.

"Tell ya what: You'll get your ring back after you pry it off of my dead finger." Shego said, taking the ring out of her pocket and slipping it on to her finger. Every muscle in Shego's body clenched for half a second and her eyes closed. She opened her green eyes and grinned coldly at Kura's taken aback expression.

"You can control your eyes after only a month and a half..?" Kura said, though she sounded slightly surprise, her expression and physical stance hadn't changed at all.

"Yeah. Amazing isn't it?" Shego asked, her eyes not leaving Kura's.

"Hahahaha! I knew it! Finally someone was able to pull it off!" Kura howled, now amused. "You're interesting, Shego. Far more so then I would have expected, even with your Glow."

Shego said nothing in reply and continued to stare at her opponent. Kura sighed and rubbed her chin.

"Your eyes aren't going to help you all that much, Shego. Not only to you need to keep your eyes on me, but I have to do the same." Kura said simply, returning her hand to her pocket.

"And you know that how?" Shego asked coldly.

"You're a copy-cat. If you can't see what you're copying, how can you copy? Your eyes rely on mine to show you what's going to happen next. You're not seeing the future...You're just detecting my next movements." Kura replied.

"Unfortunately for you, I don't really depend on my eyes." Shego lied coolly. She was worried, but had yet to show any signs of it.

"Really? Then why have you taken a defensive position?" Kura asked, eyeing Shego with an almost arrogant grin. Shego blinked and looked at herself; she had placed her left leg slightly in front of her right shifted slightly, putting her weight on her right leg. At the time, she hadn't considered it defensive, but now that she took it apart, it appeared that it was.

"Shego, I really don't want to fight you. I would really like to leave with out anyone getting any more then a scratch." Kura said. Shego's tut made the older woman frown and sigh inwardly.

"Stop it already; you sound like a broken record." Shego said. The next moment, Shego was gone. Kura blinked and seemed to be focused hard on something. Her left arm came up without warning in a high block, nullifying Shego's kick. The gloves that had been on the coffee table were now on Shego's hands and Kura was looking hard at them.

"So, it seems as though you got speed, rather then brute strength..." Kura said, twisting her arm and grabbing Shego's leg. She flung the villainess towards a wall and, as she anticipated, Shego turned in midair and caught herself, landing easily.

"I beg your pardon?"

"Speed. Your body was apparently designed for speed so you got more of a muscular speed boost instead of a bulk up. I see the speed adjustment also fits in with your fighting style and your usage of your Glow.." Kura said, trailing off. From a pocket on her mid-thigh, Kura pulled out a small note pad and a pencil. She jotted a few things down and returned the note pad and pencil to her pocket.

Shego raised an eyebrow, but refrained from asking what she was doing. She was nervous; if she had preformed that kick on one of Drakken's little robots, it would have snapped like a twig. Not only that, Kura was correctly analyzing her movements and, what was worse, was taking note of them for future reference.

"Now, Shego, my ring, please." Kura said, holding out a hand, looking bored of the whole affair. Shego chuckled.

"You're more persistent then Drakken is. I'm not going to give this back to you. It was a 'finders keepers' situation." Shego said. Kura shook her head and popped her neck.

"You're making this a lot harder then this has to be..." To Kura's annoyance, Shego shrugged and regarded the other fighter idly.

"Come and get it."

"This is your last chance, Shego, just give it back."

"Nope." Came Shego's cold reply, closing her eyes. She opened them quickly and her irises were red, the two raindrop like black dots in them began to whirl. To Shego's amazement, Kura began to laugh, loud and long.

"Only two?" She asked through gasps of laughter.

"Two what?" Shego retorted, confused.

"Those little spinners in your eyes. The only other person who had your eyes had three. I would have expected you to have three as well, since you mastered controlling your eyes so quickly." Kura explained, still looking strangely amused.

"So what if I only have two?"

"Those spinners are sort of like mastery gauges. The maximum you can have is three, the minimum one. You're about in the middle; you're not good, nor are you bad. The guy who had those three spinners could do...incredible things with them. He could put his-I suppose you could call them his 'victims'-under an illusion so powerful they could feel it. I had to endure the most horrible memory of my existence five times in a minute. It was..intense to say the least. In fact, he was so good with them that even when I closed my eyes he could follow me. But, even with all that, he could barely last fifteen minutes against me." Kura paused, watching Shego's eyes swirl more intensely. "And you still think you have a chance against me, don't you?" Kura continued, chuckling now.

"I have as much of a chance as I did earlier..You don't need to be the very best to win." Shego said, taking a stance.

"We'll see see if what you say is true, then.." Kura replied, preparing herself for battle.

"Sure, I'll beat you and prove it to you." Shego said, smirking and lighting up her Glow. Drakken scowled at her; she had never used her Go Team Glow so early on and the power seemed to zap her energy and endurance with the ring on.

Kura shook her head almost sadly and closed her own eyes for a moment. She opened them slowly, looking quite like Shego when she turned on her own eyes, but there was no difference in Kura's pale white eyes. Then, veins started to protrude from her temples and mid-cheek. They seemed to grow and stretch across her face and stopped only at the corners of her eyes. Where the black pupil would normally be was outlined by a faint black ring, but other then that the color of her eyes did not change. Shego's eyes widened slightly; Kura wasn't the most beautiful person on the planet, but the change in her facial appearance was scary. The villainess' teeth bared and she was gone..

In truth, Shego was moving at such a speed that no one besides Kura could actually follow her. She slowed down as she landed behind Kura, skidding across the floor. Kim, who was now standing just feet from Shego, opened her mouth in surprise. She began to yell a warning out to Kura, but Shego was too fast: she was already aiming a kick at Kura's neck. Shego's leg connected solidly with Kura's neck, but the other woman didn't move. Shego froze, panic and surprise catching her off guard. Kura turned as Shego backed off, but, even with all her speed, Shego wasn't fast enough.

Kura took a step forward and grabbed Shego by the collar of her PJs and punched her in the face. Still on the attack, Kura swung Shego around and threw her into the wall next to Drakken. Drakken, only seeing the explosion as Shego collided with the wall, turned quickly as Shego hit the floor. Shego shook her head and glared at Kura. The other woman had an almost pitying expression on her face. However, she only succeeded in making Shego madder. She pushed herself up so forcefully that two small holes had appeared in the floor where Shego's hands had been moments before.

Keeping her eyes hard on Kura's, Shego blinked. Kura was showing no signs of moving to defend against her next attack. She sent a concentrated beam of Glow at Kura and watched in half victory and half surprise as the blast hit the unmoving Kura. When the smoke cleared, the only mark of the Glow blast was a hole in the middle of Kura's shirt. The skin just underneath was unmarked. Shego's jaw hit the floor; she was so shocked that her Glow had involuntarily shut off. Kura still hanging back and was still only on the defensive.

Shego scowled and clenched her fists; she was humiliated that even with a whole months worth of training she couldn't damage Kura. Taking a deep breath, Shego decided to use a distraction. Lighting up the Glow on her left hand, she shot three more Glow blasts at her opponent and, in less than an instant, hit her maximum speed. She was already in front of the Glow blasts she had launched a few seconds ago and her eyes were glaring into Kura's now creepy looking eyes. From what she could tell by Kura's next movements, she was focused on the Glow blasts. Perfect! Shego thought in triumph. She raised her now glowing right hand and sent a chop straight at Kura's neck. She was about to let out a yell of victory when she looked at her hand. It had not chopped off Kura's head as Shego had planned, nor had it even touched Kura's neck. Kura had caught Shego's hand before it even came close to touching her neck. The Glow blasts were still coming at them and Kura's face spread into a grin.

She knocked Shego's wind out with a knee to the gut and tossed her into the incoming blasts. Shego, gasping for air, dodged the first blast, but the other two slammed into her. She hit the floor for a second time and her mouth opened, this time not in surprise. Blood spilled out of her open mouth and Shego closed her eyes in disgust. How? How could she have seen me? I didn't detect her moving to block my attack. What the hell is going on?! Shego though, panicking.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you what my eyes do, didn't I?" Kura asked, pulling Shego out of her thoughts. The villainess got to her feet quickly, her spinning eyes still hard focused on Kura's.

"My eyes are similar to yours, Shego. However, they cannot copy moves like yours can. You can see another person's move an and copy it exactly as they are doing and can still preform the move years and years later, without looking at the person you originally got the move from. What my eyes can do is see through almost everything; I even know just about what you're thinking. Yes, that's right. By the way your eyes seem to be drifting towards your lower right tells me you're embarrassed." Kura said, folding her arms over her chest.

Shego was staring at Kura like she was insane, but it was true. But her mind reasoned with her that Kura could not possibly know what she was thinking just by looking at her eyes.

"You are also doubting my abilities to see into your mind. No wait, you do now. Heh, nifty these eyes are, eh? This isn't the other thing my eyes can do, though, Shego. They also allow me to see the extremely concentrated channels of Team Glow in your body. In a normal human I would only be able to see their muscular and cardiac systems. You're not normal though. When you got your Team Glow, it seemed to have made some sort of new system in your body. It's fairly advanced and it coincides with your cardiac system. It's like an advanced muscular system, except with hundreds of pressure points; I'm assuming those points control the flow of your Team Glow. If you didn't have them, you would have probably burned yourself alive from the inside." Kura continued. She paused for a moment, allowing Shego, and the rest of her audience to absorb all that she was saying.

"There is one final thing my eyes can do and it's the part you are most curious about, Shego. My eyes give me a direct line of vision of 360°. In other words, even if I am focused on another attack, I can still see another one coming at me from a different direction. Your eyes can only detect what I am concentrating on in brief spurts so it is impossible for you to see every single one of my next moves. When you rushed at me, I was only focused on your Team Glow blasts, but as you got closer, I prepared for your direct one."

Another pause.

"With that being said, are you sure you wish to continue, Shego?"
