WARNING: Slight Mushy-ness yet again XD

enjoy!

When you find the one… 6

As promised Shego stayed by the red head's side without even blinking. Even though she felt herself hunger for blood and flesh she remained by Kim's side. She just had to wait for her to wake up, only than could she hunt for food. She had to be sure that her human was safe.

Suddenly a plan occurred to her, she could always take Kim with her! She hadn't thought about it yet but there was the possibility that she could carry the girl. Gently she managed to lift the girl into her arms, making sure she didn't wake the sleeping beauty. She let out a soft sigh and faster than the eye could see she moved down the stairs, out of the house and into the woods.

She came to a stop for a few seconds, moving Kim onto her back to make sure her hands were free. She quickly continued running again, searching for her prey. Though today she wasn't quite in the mood for human blood. She had the need for a large substance of blood, meaning she had to go for a bigger prey. And soon she had found her larger prey. It was a female deer she could smell it. The animal was close, only a few meters away.

Shifting Kim slightly to make sure the girl was safe, she made her move. She moved quickly, attacking the innocent animal and snapping its neck. It was a large deer and Shego's mouth almost watered as she saw the blood seep out of the animal's neck. She checked if Kim was still asleep, confirming that she was Shego started eating. She buried her fangs into the animal and started robbing it from its blood as if her life depended on it. Which was in fact true, she felt herself get stronger as she devoured the deer's blood.

"S-Shego?" She heard Kim's voice mutter and she felt her 'heart' sink to her feet. She looked over her shoulder to look at the red head, her mouth covered with blood.

"K-Kimmie! You're awake!" She said in a terrified tone. She quickly lowered Kim to the ground, placing the girl on a nearby patch of grass.

"What are you doing?" Kim asked in a slightly worried tone and Shego quickly wiped her mouth clean.

"Uhm feeding, I haven't eaten in days." Shego replied hoping that the girl wasn't too shocked about the entire scene. Though Kim's gaze softened and Shego was surprised when she felt a warm hand upon her shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, I told you to stay and you did. You didn't eat anything at all?" Kim asked in a guilty tone. Shego simply shook her head and the red head bit her lower lip in guilt. "That was my fault just make sure you eat enough. Okay?" She added and the vampire grinned at her before she brought her attention back to the dead animal.

"Don't you worry about that," The vampire murmured. "I can live on this deer's amount of blood for weeks." She added and Kim averted her eyes when Shego started eating again. The repulsive sound of a deer being sucked dry wasn't doing Kim any good. She covered her ears, making sure she couldn't hear the vampire devour the last drops of blood.

She prayed to whatever gods there were that she wouldn't end up like that. She didn't have anything against vampires but the idea of sucking a deer dry sent chills down her spine.

"Kimmie you can look again, I'm done eating." Shego murmured and she placed a hand upon the red head's shoulder. She had wiped her mouth clean and she made sure the deer was cleared out of Kim's sight. "It's clean, I promise." She added and the girl turned to look at her.

"Did you have enough?" She asked and Shego gave a small nod.

Catching Kim by surprise Shego suddenly lifted the girl into her arms.

"Let's go back to the house." She said to the red head in her arms and she started heading home, fast. Before Kim knew it they were already at the front door of Shego's German house. Within another 2 seconds she was up in Shego's bedroom and another second later she was lying on her back on the green sheets. She stared up at the pale woman in surprise and all she got was a smile.

"How are you feeling now?" Shego questioned and her eyes drifted towards the girl's ankle.

"Well I barely feel any pain and I think… and call me crazy but my ankle isn't broken anymore. My shoulder doesn't hurt anymore as well." Kim explained and instead of getting a confused look from the vampire she got one filled with understanding.

"Good, very good," Shego said. "Are you hungry?" She questioned and Kim lightly shook her head. The pair became quiet and Shego simply looked at Kim. The red head, however, looked away, a light blush tainting her cheeks underneath Shego's intense gaze.

"Uhm…" They suddenly said at the same time. This time even Shego couldn't help but turn a bit darker. "You go ahead." She said to the red head and Kim cleared her throat slightly.

"I was wondering… you want to train me right?" She asked and Shego nodded in response. "I can't fight vampires for many reasons. One of them is that I'm a human so I was wondering," She started and she became silent for a few moments. "Why … "I know where this is going." Shego suddenly cut in and Kim's eyebrows shot up.

"You do?" She asked.

"Yes, you're wondering why I can't just turn you into a vampire to make you stronger." The vampire replied in a calm tone. "I haven't changed you yet because I don't know how things will develop from that moment. You're from a different clan and I can't be sure if you'll be able to survive the transformation. It's a curse, sort of; someone of your own clan can only successfully turn you into a vampire. Sometimes a person gets lucky and changes successfully but other times it turns out in a disaster." Shego explained.

"What happens?" Kim questioned.

"Nine out of ten humans die because of the venom. It eats them up inside, making it feel like thousands of needles are being stabbed into your insides. Your skin feels like it's burning and eventually it falls off. Therefor it's better if we vampires simply kill humans immediately. It's no use drinking their blood and letting them live. They'll die an unbelievably painful death, so we put them out of their misery." The vampire said and she sighed softly at the thought of all the people she had already killed. Even if she didn't want to kill them, she never had a choice.

"So you're a vampire because you got changed by….?"

"My brother turned me right before he died. I was one of the few of my clan whom wasn't a vampire yet. Despite my plasma, which I already had before I became a vampire, he knew I wouldn't be able to fight off the other vampires. So he decided to change me to save my life." She replied and another sigh escaped her lips. "Guess I failed cause now the family name rests upon my shoulders and if I don't get that chain back it'll be the end of the Semele clan."

"Semele?" Kim repeated curiously and Shego grinned at her.

"It's the family name of my clan, they've been around for at least 600 years. Now exactly 603 years later it's close to extinction." Shego said sadly and her eyes shifted away from Kim's.

"Does.. does it mean something? I mean, the name Semele."

"The literal meaning is of the underworld. Which is funny because we didn't start out as vampires but our name did connect us to the so-called 'heartless' creatures of the underworld."

"Like it was meant to be for your family to become vampires." Kim said absentmindedly and Shego decided not to reply. It became quiet once again and the mood in the room had definitely dropped. Kim actually felt guilty, asking about the vampire's past and all. She was sure it brought up a lot of painful memories. "I'm sorry." She suddenly blurted out and she grabbed Shego's pale hand.

The vampire finally looked back at her, clasping her own hand around Kim's in return. Even though her action was linked to a brighter emotion, her emerald green eyes held a certain sadness in them that even Kim couldn't describe. It made her heart ache as she gazed into the vampire's eyes. It was like she could feel Shego's emotions the moment their hands linked.

"It's alright, you would've questioned all of this sooner or later. I was actually going to ask what happened to your current family and I know that's a sensitive subject as well." Shego replied and she gave Kim's hand a light squeeze. She, herself, knew that the longer she held Kim's hand, the stronger the girl could feel her own emotions. She had to let go, knowing that Kim was getting close to tears the longer she held the girl's warmer hand. Gently and with discretion she pulled her hand free from Kim's. "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it right now." She added and this time Kim's own emotions reflected in her forest-green eyes.

"W-why?" The red head asked and even as a vampire Shego couldn't understand her at the moment.

"Why what?" She asked in return.

"Why did you choose me to help you? I mean I know you told me my family protected the chain as well but why would we protect it? It's linked to vampires and we've never dealt with vampires." Kim reasoned though even as she said it she seemed confused.

"Your family, your clan did have a few vampires in them. You just never got changed and the vampires in your family were kept hidden. That's why you've never dealt with vampires before, that's why you don't know about the vampires in your own family." Shego answered.

Kim stared at the vampire sitting on the edge of the bed. Her mouth stood wide open and she could barely believe her own ears. She blinked a few times, trying to get things into perspective.

"You know about my family?" She asked hesitantly and Shego nodded in reply.

"You do have some vampire skills, that's why you're able to do what you do. That's why you were able to save the world over and over again. Though it wasn't enough to save your family. You are what we would call a slumbering vampire or a super human. Though you're not able to experience the full abilities of a vampire because your transformation has stopped in the early stages so to speak. Only the bite of a vampire can activate the genes you have but it can also kill you."

Kim passed out. She didn't know how but she passed out. The information about her family and Shego's past became too much for her. It was like her brain went into overdrive and her emotions went into warp-speed. It overwhelmed her as it came to her all at once.

For a second Shego was worried, seeing Kim's eyes roll into the back of her head. The girl slumped against the bed and her eyelids slid shut. Eventually the even breathing of the red head filled the vampire's ears, calming her immediately. One touch and she could feel what had happened to Kim. The emotions had come to a point where Kim could no longer control them. And instead of acting on the uncontrolled emotions the girl simply passed out. It almost seemed like it was the way Kim's body protected itself.

"By shutting down." Shego whispered and she removed her hand from the girl's cheek. "You have such amazing powers for a human. I can feel them but they're locked away. The only way I can let her powers surface is by putting her in life threatening situations. Her basic instincts would take over that way." Shego spoke to herself in a thoughtful way. Though putting Kim in life threatening situations wasn't something she wanted to do. She just had to find a different way to trigger Kim's hidden powers. "Without risking her life." She said firmly

Shego knew all about Kim's family and Kim herself. She knew every tiny detail, she knew how her family had died and she knew Kim had isolated herself from the world. The only thing she had never checked was how Kim's family became mixed up with vampires. Though it was easy to mix up with vampires 600 years ago. At the time the vampire population was larger than the human population. Over the centuries some clans died out, others adapted and lived on. The roles eventually turned around; the human population became much bigger than the vampire population.

The first vampire was uncontrolled and didn't look anything like the human race. Its offspring developed a more human appearance when in normal form. Though once transformed they too had nothing human. It took over 300 years for vampires to develop a fully human appearance. The only thing that didn't change were the fangs, their abilities, pale skin and brightly colored eyes. Even the fangs could be retracted now but because of the slow development many vampires were killed. Easily recognized by their inhuman appearances at the time.

Now more than 75 percent of the world didn't even know vampires existed. The pale, bloodsucking human, was only linked to scary stories, movies and computer games.

According to humans vampires didn't exist simply because their imagination and fears wouldn't allow it. They would always find rational and logical reasons for the death of several animals and people in an area.

To Shego's opinion the human race was ignorant, simply stupid at some times. They didn't have a clear image of what vampires would be like. Varying the vampires in their stories from bloody, savage and murderous to sweet, overly protective and always drop dead gorgeous. Not all vampires were gorgeous; they were never murderous nor overly protective. Even though it did depend on their personalities none of the existing vampires could be compared to the vampires in human stories, games and movies.

Shego liked to call herself the actual exception amongst the vampires. None of the vampires she had met in her lifetime understood her way of living. They didn't disapprove of it but they didn't like it either. Most of the time it just confused them but Shego didn't care.

Her eyes shifted to the shifting red head beside her and she suddenly found herself staring into a pair of forest-green eyes.

"Good morning." Kim said happily and Shego's eyebrows rose slightly.

"Good morning to you too." She replied dry and Kim smiled at her as if nothing had happened.

"I'm hungry… could I get another piece of toast with the cheese and stuff you made for me last time?" Kim questioned as she hopped to her feet. She looked around the room and Shego's head tilted slightly to the side when she saw the tips of Kim's ears turn bright red. The girl turned to look at her, her face bright red.

"Uhm is everything okay?" Shego questioned and Kim nodded slightly.

"I'm.. I slept in your room again?" She asked and this time it was Shego's turn to nod. "Did you ah.. did we..?" Kim stuttered shyly and this made Shego roll off of the bed, holding onto her sides as she laughed.

"We ahahahaha didn't, we're not together hahaha I didn't do anything to you." She said in between laughter and she wiped a tear of laughter away. After her laughing fit Shego apologized to Kim and made her the desired breakfast. She had told Kim from the beginning that she wasn't the mushy kind of vampire. Though she had to admit to herself she was slowly developing a weak spot for the red head.

It just entertained her beyond limits to know that Kim had a weakness for her as well. The red head, however, developed it the moment they bumped into each other.

"So did you enjoy your toast and all?" The vampire questioned and she put Kim's plate away.

"Delicious as usual." Kim replied dreamily and she let her head rest on the palms of her hands as her elbows rested on the kitchen counter. "Tell me the truth, why did you really stay so close to me after I got injured?" She suddenly questioned and Shego almost dropped the plate in shock. She sighed heavily and placed the plate back in its place. She turned to look at the red head and she was surprised to see Kim with such a serious expression on her face.

"You practically begged me to stay by your side." Shego simply said.

"I know but I could feel you against me. You held me close; your arms were wrapped around me. My head rested on your chest very comfortably," Kim said and as she spoke she started to blush. "Sometimes you held me tighter, as if you were afraid that I was going to disappear. All the while I could feel how you were feeling and the longer you held me the stronger it got. T-tell me! What is it that you've done to me?" She said speaking up for the first time in days.

Shego smiled at the feisty red head, simply folding her arms in front of her chest.

"I held you close because I'm a vampire with special abilities I've developed over the past 100 years. I've learned to share my healing powers and though it might seem intimate it's only to help you. That's why your ankle feels so much better and your shoulder as well. The tighter I hold you the more I'm able to heal you but it's a slow process." Shego explained and Kim gaped at her. "Of course," She started and her grin widened. "It would go faster if you were to undress yourself." She added and she watched in amusement how Kim turned bright red.

Such an easy victim. She thought.

"As for the emotions, you can feel them when we're connected. You have something of a vampire in you, so the longer I touch you the more you feel what I feel on an emotional level. But the longer we go without physical contact the faster your ability to feel my emotions disappear. I can also trick you when it comes to emotions. I can make you feel my happiness but that happiness isn't really there. I can also close myself off entirely and you won't have a clue about how I feel."

Kim's eyebrows shot up and suddenly she leaned forward over the kitchen counter. She slowly reached out and grabbed Shego's hand tightly.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Tell me." Shego whispered and Kim squeezed her hand a bit tighter. She stared into the vampire's green eyes, trying to sense her feelings.

"Love," She said and Shego gave a slight nod before she narrowed her eyes slightly. "No.. hate," Kim said in confusion, the vampire nodded again and once again narrowed her eyes. "Envy?" The red head questioned.

"Correct." Shego said and she closed her eyes for a few seconds. "Now tell me what you feel." She said and she opened her eyes again. Kim stared into those green pools again and she frowned slightly.

"I.. I feel.. empty, nothing. There's nothing there to feel." She explained in a slightly monotone voice. She quickly pulled her hand back, acting like she had severely burned herself. She averted her eyes, feeling cold and empty herself right now. "S-sorry.. I've.. I've got to go right now." She hastily said and she sped off to her room, leaving a very, very confused vampire behind in the kitchen.

Well a lot of info in this chapter and just a lot of talking. Now you know why Shego won't change Kim, now you know why Kim can do what she does and now you know how Kim can feel Shego's emotions and well.. just a lot of questions got answered. BUT I bet a lot of questions have risen because of this chapter.. am I right or am I right? XD

So the vampire is developing a weak spot, Kim already has one and ooooh are they loving each other? Well.. No.. not really but I won't spoil the fun hahaha

Hope you enjoyed this mushy... informatic.. kinda boring uneventful chapter!

Yours truly,
