Part 3
Later on that night, Drakken and Shego unknowingly cuddled up to each other in their sleep. Each at peace in each-other's arms. Out of the darkness a high-pitched laugh echoed throughout the room, waking Shego up. Drakken however, remained asleep. She gasped realizing that she was in his arms, she wanted to pull away, but something inside her told her that she was actually enjoying it. Enjoying the feeling of his muscular arms wrapped around her slender figure, and the rise and fall of his chest against her. For a moment, she felt at peace, but then all of a sudden Drakken began to violently toss and turn in his sleep. She pulled away from him and watched him. Was there something wrong with him? She wondered the longer she watched him convulse in his sleep. Was he usually like this? Then rather unexpectedly his eyes burst open, his eyes being a bright shade of red instead of a dark blue. Shego jumped back, alarmed. "D-Drakken?" She stuttered. He slowly sat up and turned his head to face her. His grin is what frightened her the most, it seemed almost devilish. She wanted to scream, but couldn't. She was petrified. He leaned in towards her and firmly grasped his hands around her thin neck and squeezed. "Dr. Drakkennn!" She squealed, gasping for air. She tried to pull his hands away, but he was too strong. Something was controlling him, something evil…
If she used her plasma blasts it would harm him. She didn't know what to do. She could feel everything slowly begin to fade away. Shego was going to die in the arms of the man she loved most in this world. A tear trickled down her face. "I love you…" She breathed. Suddenly, his hands released her and she fell off the bed and onto the floor. Still conscious she watched Drakken shake on the bed as if he was fighting off whatever spirit was possessing him. She could hear growls, and noises that she never in her life heard come from him. She had to help him. Whatever strength she had, she mustered it up and stood next to him. "Drew!" Shego spoke. "I know you're in there. You have to fight this. You can't leave me now…" She heard him moan in pain as he sat on the bed hunched over, clutching his stomach. "C'mon! You can do this." She urged him on. With extreme speed he turned and faced her with rage in his eyes. Through clenched teeth he hissed, "Drew is dead!" "No! He isn't! Leave him alone! You have no power over him!" She yelled, her hands igniting in anger. Then Drakken fell backwards on the bed and all was silent. Was the spirit gone? Shego stood there waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. She climbed onto the bed and sat next to him, placing his head gently in her lap, stroking his sweaty wet hair away from his face. She could feel him breathing heavily. For a moment, she thought she lost him.
Minutes later, he stirred awake. His head throbbed and he felt as if he had just run a marathon. "Are you ok?" Shego asked. He went to sit up, but got dizzy. "I…err…no. What happened?" Drakken asked rubbing his head. "You don't remember?" She asked. He looked at her confusingly and shook his head. She gulped. She wasn't looking forward to telling him. "I think you should just go back to sleep and I'll tell you in the morning." She suggested. "Did I do something bad?" He asked holding her hand. "No, no. Just go to sleep." She lied. "Ok." He agreed, letting his head fall against the pillow. He instantly fell asleep.
Shego watched him for a couple of minutes to make sure he was asleep and decided to go to the bathroom. When she reached the door and turned the knob, it opened. Earlier, it didn't want to open now it opened as if nothing was wrong with it in the first place. She hurried off the bathroom and stood before the mirror looking at her reflection. She ran her hands along the marks Drakken's hands had left around her neck. From out in the hall she could hear footsteps and they were drawing closer to the bathroom where she was. Had he woken up? Then when she looked back at the mirror, she saw the women in the black veil staring back at her from behind her. Shego's face became furious and she yelled, "Leave me and Drew alone!" With that, her hand lit up and she slammed her fist into the mirror shattering it into pieces. She backed up and slid down against the wall. She sat alone on the cold bathroom floor, her face falling into her hands. This ghost was determined to drive her crazy and it was succeeding.
"Shego?" She heard Drakken's voice from beside her. She looked up and saw him standing there. "What's wrong?" He asked looking around the bathroom noticing the shards of glass all over the floor. "I saw that ghost again!" She told him. He sighed and sat down beside her, pulling her into his arms, holding her tight trying to comfort her. "What happened earlier? Something I did obviously upset you." Drakken said rubbing her back. She pulled away from him and stared him in his eyes, which were back to normal now. "You were possessed Drew." He was shocked, unable to say anything. "and you…tried to kill me." She said pointing out the marks on her neck. "Oh my God…" He said rubbing his hand along them gently. "I did that?" She nodded her head. "This is serious. We have to do something." He said pulling her back towards him not wanting to let her go. "Maybe we should just leave." "No! I'm not losing to a ghost. Losing to Kim Possible is one thing, but losing to something that isn't alive is another. We can do this!" He said confidently. Shego was shocked. She looked up at Drakken who looked angry, angrier than she had ever seen him. "Drakken?" He looked down at her and his expression instantly eased. "Yes?" The longer they looked into each other's eyes the more her impulses told her to kiss him. "You don't remember anything when you were possessed?" She asked. "Well…I felt like I was sort of in a dreaming state, or more like a nightmare the more I think about it. I could feel the pain and I was trying to fight it off. I could hear voices. One of them was telling me I was nothing and I will always be nothing." He explained. "That was the ghost trying to break you." Shego pointed out. "That makes sense. At some point I think it did," He admitted. "Then I heard another voice. It was you." She smiled. "You were telling me that I had to fight, that I couldn't leave you, and that you…you…" "That I loved you." She finished. Drakken blushed, surprised that she had said that. He felt his heart pound, was this what it was like to have a heart-attack? "I thought I was dreaming." He said with a chuckle. Without warning, her soft lips crashed against his. He couldn't believe what was going on and after it had sunk in, he kissed her back. Drakken ran his fingers through her long silky black hair. This moment truly felt like heaven on earth even though they felt like they were going through a living hell with the ghost haunting them. When their lips finally parted, Shego whispered. "Now that definitely wasn't a dream." "You sure? Let's do it again!" Drakken teased, pulling her into a kiss, this one more passionate than the first. "I love you Shego." He said when they both parted for a second to gasp for air. "I love you too, Drew."
