What the Other Doesn't Know

Dog Puns are Ruff

It had been a week after the unfortunate incident with the species modulator and it seemed that in every follow up encounter between Kim and Shego, the older woman was insistent on reminding Kim of her time as a puppy. And Kim was getting tired of it. Really tired. It was bad enough Ron had told her with mild amusement despite his best attempts at hiding it, just what exactly she had been doing while as a pup; she didn't need Shego rubbing it in her face. Kim had apparently chased Rufus relentlessly around the evil lair, and then taken to wrapping herself around Shego's leg and nearly humping it. Why had she done that? Why not go on Ron's leg, or Drakken's? Had it been simply because Shego was closer?

Kim couldn't tell, her memories a bit fuzzy of the whole ordeal. Not that she really wanted to, give how embarrassing it sounded, so she wished Shego would just drop the topic already.

"Aww Princess, why do you look so upset? Ruff day?" Shego sniggered to herself after asking Kim that in a sickly sweet voice.

"Shego, would you just stop that?" Kim huffed out, annoyed, and aiming a high kick over Shego's head. The villainess ducked and sent a punch at Kim's exposed abdomen, causing the girl to move three steps back from the blow.

"And why's that? Got a bone to pick with me about it?"

"Grr!" Kim growled out in frustration, recovering from the hit and putting up her arms to block a rain of blows from Shego who cocked back arm after arm in rhythm and let her punches fly. Kim grunted in effort to hold back the attacks, her feet sliding back. Somewhere to her back an explosion sounded, alerting her that Ron had foiled something or another of Drakken's again. "Their just not that funny anymore. So you really should stop."

"You're just jealous you don't have jokes like I do. So I won't paws them just because you're jealous."

"Shego, I am not jealous!" Kim cried back, pushing her arms forward and interrupting Shego's attacks. She knocked Shego's arms aside and drew her own body closer to direct a knee right into Shego's gut. The air left Shego's mouth but she still had the strength to grab a hold of Kim's shoulders and hold the red head in place so she could head butt her hard. Kim let out a hiss and stepped back as Shego released her so she could rub her forehead, stars dancing in her eyes.

"So...jealous," Shego wheezed, still breathless from that knee Kim had jabbed her with earlier.

"Shego! Please," Kim said with exasperation. "I'm trying to fight you properly and you're not taking this seriously at all. Can you just stop with the puns already?"

"I mutt or mutt not," Shego shrugged, her breath regained now. Kim only frowned at her words. "Hey, don't look at me like that. It would be a wasted opportunity to not make fun of a heroes blunders. You should be expecting me to do it, since I am a villain after all and that's what we do best: mock our enemies!" Shego waggled her brows.

Kim only sighed heavily; she had given the other a chance. If Shego wasn't going to stop this of her own accord, then it was time for Kim to take matters into her own paws-er, hands, definitely hands.

Damn Shego and her jokes.
