Hello again! I forgot to say in chapter one that I don't own any of the Kim Possible characters. Then again, you should all know that anyways. Also, I'm going to try and make this a three chapter piece, four chapters at most. I'd appreciate as much feedback as possible and I hope you all enjoy.
CONFUSING HALLOWEEN
Chapter Two
After pondering what she had just let slip from her mouth, Kim stood up, brushed herself off, and slowly walked home. Not really wanting to run into anyone she knew or any happy trick-or-treaters, she took all of the unlit back roads to get home. How did this happen? WHY did this happen? Kim was so confused that her head started throbbing and forced her to just sit below a tall oak tree that swung in the breeze. She wanted to find Shego, to tell her it was just a joke. She lowered her head into her hands knowing that she couldn't take it back. Not just that, but she didn't really WANT to take it back. She had meant what she had said and that's what made the situation so hard to deal with. She groaned, knowing it was getting late and that she should probably get home before her parents started to worry. Then again, she had just admitted her true feelings to the one person she felt any kind of connection to only to be abandoned. Maybe she'd stay out a little longer and just contemplate what to do and try to figure out how this had all started.
FLASHBACK
"God, I so can not believe Drakken actually captured you." Shego was sitting with her arms and legs tied up with chains. She had a small smirk on her face as she pointed out that Kim Possible (who was sitting right next to her, tied up in ropes) had been captured and pretty much defeated by Dr. Drakken, the worst criminal ever to walk the earth. Kim just glared at her.
"I wouldn't be so smug, Shego. He captured you too." That wiped the smirk off of her face. After that small conversation between the two enemies, a very uncomfortable silence replaced any, if not all, of the noise surrounding them. So many questions were swimming around in Kim's head that she didn't even bother being subtle when she finally broke the silence.
"So… why did he capture you? Like, why did he NEED to capture you?" She would never admit it, but she really was interested. After all, Shego was the best fighter Kim had ever faced and she never got caught when she stole things. Well, she would get into a cop car and the cop would blink and she'd have left him handcuffed to his own foot. Kim just felt you had to respect anyone with that kind of talent.
"Not that it's any of your business, but we just got into a bit of an argument over someone-thing… over something. " She interrupted Kim before anymore questions could be asked. "Right, can we just get out of here now? I have to pick up my motorcycle. It was in the shop."
"How do you propose we get out of here? It's not like I've just been sitting here, twirling my thumbs, not even thinking about an escape." Shego's hands glowed as she leaned over to Kim and easily burned through the ropes. "Oh… that's how…"
"Now hurry up. These things are cold." It was taking Kim a little while to get the chains off of Shego. She didn't exactly come prepared to pick locks this time. At last the chains fell to the floor with a soft "clang" and Shego immediately stood up and stretched while Kim just stared quizzically at her.
"Why didn't you tell me you could do that before? We could have gotten out of here four hours ago." Shego stopped in mid yawn and grinned at the frowning Kim who had her fists clenched and on her hips as though she was a mother scolding a child.
"I guess I just really enjoy your company." Even though she had meant it as a joke, she could feel herself blush and she saw Kim's eyes widen slightly. It had sounded like Shego had actually meant what she said. That's just creepy, thought Kim and Shego at the same time.
"Right, so do you know a way out of this place or what?"
"I'm pretty sure I know a way out but Draken could have changed the exits he wants guarded."
"Ok, well we might as well give it a go." Kim stood back to let Shego punch through the concrete cell wall. The two of them hurried through the hallways, Kim following Shego. After a few close calls with security cameras, Shego stopped in front of a simple looking door that didn't look like it would lead to anywhere.
"Alright, let's see…" Shego ran her hands up and down the door, searching for something. She quickly found a small crack and pushed it. The door then swung open for a few, very brief seconds. "Hurry up Kim!"
"Ah!" Kim was pulled into a semi lit room just in time to avoid being crushed by the door. Shego had pulled her in with such force that they had fallen on top of each other, panting heavily. Kim was a bit too confused as to what had just happened that she didn't hear Shego until she had repeated whatever it was she had been saying.
"Uh, can you maybe get off of me? Kim? Kimmie? KIM!"
"What? Oh, yeah of course..." They stood up and looked around the room. Somehow the room was lit, granted it wasn't lit very well. It seemed to be more of a soft glow. Once Shego was up, she immediately checked each wall.
"Ah ha! Here it is!" She triumphantly punched some buttons that Kim hadn't noticed until now. Shego was looking at Kim. "See? I knew I could get us out of here. After all, I have been working for Draken for a good six, maybe seven years and – what the?" The wall flashed red in a few spots, gave a little "beep" sound and then stopped.
"Is everything ok, Shego?" Kim walked up to the villain to see what was wrong.
"I don't understand! I know that I punched in the right password!" She typed furiously into the little box when suddenly she stopped. "Oh crap…"
"What? Why the 'oh crap'?" Shego turned around sighed and slouched against the wall.
"I kind of… uh… forgot that unless I have the key we'll be, uh…kind of… stuckheretogether…" She said the last part very quickly, hoping Kim wouldn't be able to hear it.
"What do you mean stuck here? How long will it take to get out of here?"
"I accidentally set the timer for twelve hours. Please," she held up a hand. "Don't ask me how, or why." Kim closed her mouth and held in the questions she had lined up to shoot at Shego. "Thank you." Shego looked around and sighed again. "I guess we may as well get comfy."
"Yeah, we may as well." Kim sat down across the room from Shego, trying to sit as far away from her as possible. It turned out that she couldn't really get too far away seeing how the room was a ten foot square. The two girls sat and waited patiently for what seemed like hours, neither one making any noise, or eye contact. Needless to say, it was extremely boring.
"Do you have a watch?"
"Huh?" Kim jumped a little at the sharp sound of Shego's voice. "Oh, yes I do." Shego was looking at her with her eyebrows raised.
"Well? How much time do we have left?"
"Oh! Oh, we have… uh…" Kim checked her watch. "We have 10 hours and 55 minutes left." Damn, Kim thought and cringed at the thought of 10 hours and 55 minutes of this massive boredom. I could have sworn it's been longer than five minutes.
"Damn!" Shego hit a wall with a glowing hand. "This is sooo boring!" When she removed her hand to find a hole, a dent, something! Unfortunately the walls were too thick for her to even dent. She was getting far too bored. Looking at Kim, she suddenly thought it might be fun to try and have a conversation. Hell, maybe she might even learn something. "So, Kim, how's your love life? You seeing anyone new lately? Maybe someone who can put up a decent fight?" Shego grinned, remembering how she had taken Kim's last boyfriend hostage.
"No" Kim's voice was flat. She never had liked talking about her love life.
"Oh, so he can't put up a good fight? That's too bad."
"I MEANT, no. I'm not seeing anyone." She glanced up at Shego. "What about you? Are you married? Do you have a husband, boyfriend... girlfriend…?"
"Well, as it just so happens my husband just passed away."
"Oh really…" Kim hardly believed that, seeing how Shego would most likely never actually commit to a relationship.
"Yeah," Shego grinned inwardly and glanced at her nails. "My boyfriend killed him once my girlfriend told him I was married."
"Wait… what?" Kim must have looked alarmed even though she was just extremely confused.
"Relax, I was just kidding. No, I'm not married, I have no boyfriend, and I have no girlfriend. I'm single, through and through." She looked at Kim quizzically. "So, do you have a girlfriend who can put up a decent fight?"
"Shego!"
"What?" Shego shrugged. "You're the one who started the whole 'girlfriend' thing."
"Yeah, and you started the whole 'are you single' thing."
"I was just trying to pass the time. Speaking of that, how much time has gone by?"
"It's been about fifteen minutes." They both let out annoyed sighs. Shego started tapping her nails against the wall, filling the small room with little echoing clicks. The echoes seemed to sink into Kim's brain and if she didn't know any better she would swear that there were tiny pins being lodged into her frontal lobes. Well, it was pins or a headache, same thing. She would go insane if she had to listen to that annoying sound any longer. Kim was about to scream when Shego broke the semi-silence.
"Now how long has it been." Evidently, Shego was just as bored as Kim.
"Sixteen minutes and twelve seconds…" Both girls leaned their heads back against the wall and let out a muted 'damn'. Suddenly Shego stood up, tried to pace, discovered there was no room to pace, and sat down again with a great sigh.
"Dare I ask how much time has gone by now?"
"One hour, sixteen minutes and thirty-two seconds…"
"God damn it! There has to be SOMETHING we can do to pass the time!" Again she stood up and towered over Kim. "Quick, what do you do when you get locked in a room for twelve hours to pass the time?!" She looked like she was about to squirt flames from her eyes if Kim didn't give a quick reply.
"Sleeping always passes time. We could try sleeping."
"No good. I'm not tired."
"Well, we could fight again. That might tire us out for a bit."
"No, we might need to fight our way out of this hell whole. Plus, I don't feel like fighting you right now."
"What do you suggest, then? I mean, what else tires you out like a good fight?" Shego opened her mouth, reconsidered what she was going to say, and closed it. Kim's eyebrows shot up. "What?"
"I didn't say anything. Did it sound like I said anything?" She looked too amused for Kim's comfort so Kim kept asking until Shego finally gave in.
"Sex gets rid of lot's of energy…"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Hey, you're the one who wanted to hear my ideas. Plus," she looked Kim up and down. "You're cute."
"Uh, excuse me?"
"Oh come on, Kim. Even you have to admit that you're adorable. Some people might go so far as to call you hot." She leaned over Kim. "And I've always had a thing for redheads."
"If anyone here is hot, it would be you." Kim murmured before she blushed.
"What do you mean, Kimmie?"
"I just mean that I'd really like to… never mind."
"You'd really like to…?" Kim looked away but Shego wanted to see where this was going. She pulled Kim to her feet. "Tell me."
"I'd…" Making eye contact was a mistake. The green in Shego's eyes seemed to hypnotize Kim into leaning forward. "I'd really like to… to…"
"Yes…?" Shego also seemed to be drawn towards Kim. She knew what was going to happen but for some reason, Shego wanted Kim to make the first move.
"I'd really like to do this." Kim closed her eyes and leaned forward. Her heart fluttered a bit when she realized Shego's arms were around her and that their lips were pressed together in a possibly romantic kiss.
"Don't you want to know what time it is?" She got ready to look at her watch but she was suddenly swooped into another kiss.
"To be quite honest," Shego pulled Kim closer and stroked her flowing red hair. "I couldn't care less about the time."
"We can't let this get in the way of our work. No matter what happens, we're still enemies, right?"
"Of course" She lightly kissed Kim again. "After all, this is just a one time thing, isn't it?" Another light kiss passed between them.
"We'll have to wait and see about that." She ran her tongue over Shego's lower lip and was granted access. Shego gently bit and pulled on Kim's lip when they slowly broke apart.
"So far," Kim said as her eyelids fluttered open. "I'm thinking that we just might have to do this a few more times. But this is just to pass the time, right? We're only doing this because we're trapped for twelve hours and have no feelings towards each other whatsoever, right?"
"Right, well," Shego said as an afterthought. "Generally I hate you, but other than that there're no emotions whatsoever."
"Promise me that if this starts getting in the way of our work, we'll stop." Her hands were already preparing to rip open Shego's shirt. Kim had to stop herself from kissing her again so that Shego could answer.
"I promise as long as you do." Shego pressed Kim up against the wall again and ran her hands over Kim's well sculpted abs. Their tongues battled for dominance and Shego could feel Kim's hands softly playing with her silky hair. When they came up for air their eyes met and sparks of lust jumped between them. Everything seemed to slow to a halt. Kim ran her hands from Shego's shoulders down to the buttons of the black and green suit.
"I promise." She undid the first button, then the second. By the time she had reached the fifth button, Shego had driven her mad by sucking on her pulse line and massaging her hips, her hands gradually inching lower and lower.
END FLASHBACK
"God," Kim muttered under her breath as she curled up under the tree, sleep creeping up on her. "I can't believe I've ruined everything."
As Kim's eyes slowly closed and fluttered against the slight drizzle that was starting, the temperature dropped a good ten degrees. She knew if she stayed here all night she would get extremely sick but at the moment, she didn't give a damn about herself. In fact, she wouldn't mind just falling asleep and never waking up. After all, it's not like she would be missed by the one person she truly cared about. No, no that person was far, far away.
Author's Note:
Sorry if the timeline thing doesn't quite work out. I kept changing it too much and then I lost track and was too lazy to go back and fix it. The next chapter should be coming up within two weeks if I don't have too much family stuff to do. (Sometimes the holidays are just way too annoying. I mean is there some kind of law saying that you have to spend time with your family during the holiday season?)
