Chapter 6

Drakken was helping Shego walk toward the helicopter. His arm was locked tightly around her waist, taking care that she did not fall. She was extremely weak from all the stress her body had been under; trying not to drown, over the past day.

Shego was very glad that Drakken had come to save her, and now that she thought about it, she realized that without him she would have died.

Turning her head towards Drakken, she looked him straight in the eyes. They were sparkling and dazzling dark mysterious lonesome eyes. To Shego, they looked so sad and un-loved... she felt sorry for him.

She could tell from the starved hungry gaze that swallowed her whenever she looked him in the eyes, that no one had ever truly loved him before. He had probably never even kissed anyone before...

Suddenly, Shego realized the thoughts she had been thinking, and shook them off. She felt odd in a way she had never felt before. What was she doing thinking about Drakken that way? 'I mean...' she thought, 'This is DRAKKEN! His niceness will only last a second, Shego, you'll see.' Shego told her self uneasily.

After walking a little farther, the two reached the helicopter. The wonderful little machine that would fly them back to the lair, home.

Drakken helped Shego in, then jumped into his seat and started up the motor.

It didn't start.
