(Disclaimer: See other chapters)
And now, chapter 9 (9 already, damn, never thought it would last this long..) of Hateful. Anyways, this chapter is in 3 parts, I'm working on part 2 right now.
Enjoy! O! And thank you very much for the 72 (yes, that many) reviews! The last one really inspired me to write this chapter, so.. Okay enough of the babbling!
"What are you going to do?"
Kim's breathing got heavier; she couldn't show that she was panicking. She needed to regain her composure. She closed her eyes and took a few more deep breaths to calm herself. It was either do or die.
Shego shut her eyes tight, she could feel her headache getting worse; she blinked, her vision was hazy. She felt pressured by her own confusion. Irrational thoughts echoed through her mind. She didn't notice that her breath hitched slightly; her mouth was dry, she wanted to scream and end this. Her grip on Kim's shoulder tightened and then loosened within a few agonizing seconds.
Kim looked into her eyes, and squinted slightly, as though that could give her more insight about the raven-haired villain. Her eyes seemed to glow slightly, but she just figured it was the affect of the darkness.
From what had started out as just another battle of wills, a full-scale staring contest had developed, and neither would give up on it. Kim's gaze remained intent on Shego's angry emerald eyes. Neither moved nor blinked, but the tense silence was finally broken by a shaking frustrated "Why?"
Kim's eyes grew wide and her gaze faltered, "Why what?"
Shego narrowed her eyes dangerously, her head pulsated as though she had a migraine; this never happened to her before! Why the fuck was she so angry? With a noise that could have been identified as a roar, Shego pushed her glowing hands toward Kim with as much force as she could muster.
Kim was scared out of her mind, she felt as though she was choking, her fingernails dug into Shego's wrists, she pushed her body as far back as she could. Her body felt rigid, and in her mind, she went completely blank. Cold sweat crawled down her back.
She snapped out of the trance she was in when she heard Shego's quick ragged gasps for air.
Kim shut her eyes tight and swallowed nervously. This may be the last and stupidest thing she'd ever try to do...
"Shego."
A snarl in reply.
"You're not going to kill me."
Shego snorted and pushed harder.
"Because," Kim took a deep breath," I am not going to let you."
She gritted her teeth and mustered all her strength together. She tightened her hold on Shego's wrists; she bent her leg and pushed against the wall. She lunged forward, forcing them both to the ground. Shego, not expecting anything, flinched. She showed her weakness without even realizing it.
Kim tried to pin her to the ground, but Shego kneed her in the stomach. She exhaled sharply and fell back against the wall. She crouched in the darkness, and Shego was..
Shego was gone.
Kim stood and brushed herself off; she looked around, panting to catch her breath. She heard noise next to her, turned to her right, fists raised— She screamed and fell forward, reaching her arms out to cushion her fall at the last second. Shego had kicked her in the back, she whimpered in pain, and her body shuddered from the impact.
She heard movement behind her, and frantically rolled to her left, if she hadn't moved, she would have been at the receiving end of a drop kick. Kim jumped to her feet, coughing and panting for air to reach her lungs.
Shego had almost fractured her spine! This couldn't be Shego... She was never this violent or angry. Shego was always saying something rudely sarcastic or taunting her, but this Shego simply growled at her.
This Shego was just out to kill her...
Kim turned around as fast as she could and back fisted Shego in the rib cage. Shego stumbled back, fists glowing brighter than ever. She looked right at Kim, her eyes glowed deep green. Kim gasped. "Shit..."
She stood there, paralyzed and scared out of her mind.
Shego lunged at her, like a lioness pouncing on prey, fists illuminating the darkness.
Kim stood there anticipating the attack, drowning in her fears. When Shego was close enough, Kim raised her leg and side kicked her in the stomach.
Shego fell back, knocked out for a few seconds. She gasped for breath and opened her eyes again, but they weren't glowing anymore.
"Ow... holy shit, Kimmie. Do you have bricks in those shoes or something?"
Kim fought against the urge to just hug Shego, but decided against it and simply smiled at her.
"Shego! You're back."
"Um, doy, I didn't go anywhere, princess." Shego sat up and shook her head as though to clear her mind. She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead.
"Oh hell... the migraine's coming back."
"What are you–"
Kim's eyes widened. The glowing eyes were back and so was the green plasma.
Shego attacked her again, Kim was completely unprepared. The glowing claws slashed at her and she barely missed it.
Right below Kim's neck was a gash; the skin around it was burned. Blood gently oozed out of the fresh wound and it stung horribly. Kim tried not to pay any attention to it, no matter how painful it was. Shego ran toward her again, fists raised. Kim dodged the punch and countered with a hook kick to Shego's shoulder.
It was shaken off, and Shego continued to attack. Kim tried to dodge all of the attacks as she had done before, but it was getting harder. She was cornered, with nowhere to go.
Shego's fist was getting closer to her, Kim started to panic, she ducked and moved to Shego's side. She bent her arm and hit Shego's lower back with her elbow. Shego lashed out at her, Kim forced herself to fall back, but not soon enough, the plasma had burned the left side of her stomach.
Kim rose to her feet again, and shakily gripped the wall for support.
You're not going to kill me. Because I'm not going to let you.
She stood there in the silence, waiting for her chance. She wasn't going to die today, this was not the end for her. There was something wrong here, but she wasn't going to break because of it.
Kim knew what she had to do, and this was her chance, Shego was running at her, about to attack. Kim positioned herself the right way, and she became more determined. When Shego was close enough, Kim hook punched her in the stomach, and Shego hit the wall. Kim elbowed her in the solar plexus, and Shego exhaled sharply, she blacked out for a second, only to see Kim's fist getting closer to her head. She raised her hand and caught Kim's fist and twisted it.
Kim gritted her teeth in pain, she would not fall. She formed a fist with her other hand and tried to hit Shego's chin. At the last second, Shego caught her hand. Kim was forced down because of the pain.
The glowing eyes flickered again and disappeared.
Shego stood there, completely disoriented, she let go of Kim's wrists and rubbed her eyes. Kim fell to the ground with a dull thud, she gingerly rubbed her wrists and looked up at Shego.
Shego had leaned against the wall, clutching her head, completely flabbergasted. She was breathing heavily, she looked down at Kim and winced,
"Geez, what the hell happened?"
"You were trying to kill me." Kim said angrily and glared at her.
"FYI, princess, I don't kill people." Shego answered back coolly, she grimaced and shut her eyes tight again. "What the hell is going on?" she grimaced angrily. She growled loudly, and opened her eyes again, back was the rather unnatural (even for Shego) glow.
Kim stood up again, and wasting no time, she punched Shego in the face, knocking her to the side. Shego growled at her, and pushed Kim against the wall. Shego kept her pinned to the wall by gripping her shoulder tightly, she squeezed the muscles tightly, forcing Kim to close her eyes in pain. She struggled but could not get away.
Shego's right hand was illuminated by the plasma, she pulled her arm back and punched.
A split second later, the glow in her eyes were gone and Shego realized what she was about to do. She stopped the plasma on her hand, but she couldn't stop her muscles.
Kim's unconscious body slumped to the ground.
