Don't own the show. Pointless to sue, don't got money.

Enjoy. ^^

"Kimmie."

I looked around to see Shego standing in a doorway, motioning me into the room. I walked over slowly and looked over her shoulder. I was greeted with the sight of a older version of Shego holding a small bundle in her arms. The room was empty beside the bed that she was resting in and a chair that sat next to it. The walls were white, and the bundle of blankets was crying out as if in pain.

"This was the day I was born."

"Shh, little Sai, it's ok." Shego's mother murmured, stroking the baby's cheek gently, "You're ok. You'll be ok."

"Sai?"

"Saiem."

"That's your name?" I looked at Shego. She was looking at the scene with a slight smile.

She looked down at me and nodded, "Sai was the nick name mom gave me. It was unique in the past, and as far as I can tell, it's still unique now a days."

"That doesn't sound like a girl name."

"Not many names back then did."

I nodded, that made sense. We sat there watching the scene in front of us for a while. It was a little weird to stand and watch Shego's mother hold her. I found myself watching the one next to me more then the two in the room. I saw a frown form on my Shego's face and I looked back to see two men taking her out of her mothers arms. One held her while another strapped a small leather collar around her neck and and leather cuffs around her wrists.

"They're laced with a type of metal that stops the flow of our magic to our limbs. It's a very rare element that can only be found in the deepest parts of the ocean. I don't think it exists anymore." I heard her sigh and turn away from the scene, "Come on Pumpkin."

We turned and started walking down the hallway. The scene changed again, and I was greeted with the sight of a young Shego sitting in an open feild at night, watching the stars. We watched as one broke free and fell to earth, landing a few feet in front of her younger version.

She got up and walked over to it, grabbing the small little rock and holding it close, looking at it.

"That was how I got my complexion." the Shego next to me murmured, "It fell from the sky, I was so curious about it that I didn't even think of what it could do to next morning found me with green colored skin."

One more time the scene changed, and we watched as Shego and her brothers were running around near a tree. Another comet fell, and hit right in the middle of the circle they made. They all fell into the hole created by the meteor, and people came running over to them.

"This is when we got our extra powers." She stated, "Hego got strength, Mego got some sort of power that made him shrink in size, and the Wego's got the power to multiply."

I looked at her, "What about you?"

"I don't know. The collar stopped me from finding out. What ever power I got, it wasn't allowed to show its self."

I nodded and we turned away from the scene. We walked for a long time and eventually I heard a soft hum start up. I couldn't help but look up at Shego again as it continued.

"Shego?"

"Hm?"

I sighed and shook my head, "Never mind."

She nodded and I felt her hand running through my hair. I started to get the feeling of waking up and frowned. I didn't want to wake up just yet.

"Morning Princess." I felt her murmur in my ear as she kissed my cheek.

"Yo Kim. You awake now?"

"Mm. I don't want to be. You ready?" I asked, yawning and sitting up.

"No. I can't pick which outfit I want."

"Outfit? Mo, we're going climbing, not clothes shopping."

I got out of bed at that moment and put on the old jeans and t-shirt I had brought with me. It took a long time, but I finally convinced Mo to wear old clothes she didn't care about. She had complained about looking good, but I had won the argument with one simple statement.

"Which do you want to ruin?"

Needless to say, she instantly put on an old pair of shorts and a shirt. While she got us something to eat, I went to a store near by and got the duffel bag I needed. I put our gear in it and after breakfast, we headed to the mountain.

Shego had yet to say anything, and I asume she'll stay quiet till we get to the top. There was a trail that we followed for about an hour, but after that we were on our own. The mountain was on the nice side of big, with enough ragged edges to be scary, but like I once said; I've seen scarier. Mo rambled the whole time up the trail about the new fashion line she planned to start and how she was going to add a bit of everything to it. She even mentioned adding a collar or something to that effect to it as well. Apparently, she had been listening when I had told her a bit of Shego's past over the week.

When we came to the spot that we were going to be climbing another thought came to mind and I realized that I was going to have to either teach Mo or pay for her to get lessons because I really don't want to see her hurt. That had been Ron's saving grace when he was with me, he knew his weird 'monkey kung fu' and could defend himself in a fight... If he applied himself, that is.

I set about hooking up the lines and ropes for climbing. I gave Mo the better of the two, and told her how she needed to do this. When she was a good ten feet above me, I started up the mountain side. We went slow, and I had just secured myself twenty feet from the top when I heard a snap and Mo calling out to me.

I turned to my left and saw her line rapidly falling down, making her fall as well. I reached out and grabbed it without thinking. I needed to stop her decent before she hit the ground, but I also needed to make sure that where she stopped she wouldn't get herself hurt by the mountains edges.

I whimpered and made a noise in the back of my throat as I felt the rope burn my fingers. We had worn gloves, but mine had been fingerless, so yeah, it really hurt.

"Kimmie!"

I ignored Shego's voice and managed to stop Mo's decent. My hand hurt like hell, but I bit back the pain and grabbed the line with both hands, slowly pulling Mo back up to me. My left hand was burning with pain as we slowly finished climbing. I watched Mo lay on her back and stare at the sky.

"Thanks Kim."

I smiled and looked down at my left hand, it was bright red, and there were a few places that I was bleeding from. The last part of the climb had made it worse. Oh, this was just lovely.

"Hey, Kim?"

"Hm?"

"Didn't you say that Shego teleported you out of the pyramid?"

"Yes?"

"Why couldn't she just do the same here?"

"Too far a distance. Can't do it without a body. Now, walk up that path and turn right, put your hand and the necklace in the water."

"Water?" I asked out loud.

"Yes, water. There's a stream not far from here."

I nodded and relied the information to Mo. She stood up and we headed the way Shego told us to go. I had to admit, it looked really beautiful up here. There were trees everywhere and there was a small path through the grass that had been walked into the ground. You couldn't see all of this from the trail, or even from the ground. I really wish I had my camera with me, this place would make lovely pictures.

We followed the path, and turned right when there was a split in directions. Just like Shego said, there was a small stream that ran downward and fell over an edge into a pond. It was it's own small little waterfall, and it gave the place a calming effect. As far as I could see, it ran all the way up to the very top of the mountain, but it was odd how it didn't come rushing down. The flow was slow and smooth.

Mo sat down a little from the edge as I walked over to it. I took off the necklace and grabbed it in the my left hand and placed both under the water. I held my breath when the water began to glow, I turned my hand over and opened my palm to see that the necklace was glowing bright green as well and I let my breath out slowly.

"Shego?"

"I'm using my power to heal you. I'll be drained after this, so I might not be able to help you out if you need it."

I nodded and watched as the wounds mended themselves back together and the red from the burning faded. When the glow dissipated I put Shego's necklace back on and took my glove off, a small swirl of an S branded itself into my skin and I frowned. Shego? I asked silently. There was no response and I assumed she had drained herself enough not to be able to talk to me. I pushed the questions into the back of my mind and stood up, placing the glove back on as I turned to Mo.

"Ready to explore?"

She nodded and we started wondering around. We found several little forts built out of sticks and fallen branches as we moved up the mountain. After a while we found the castle that Shego spoke of and wondered around it, looking for a way in. We went past the garden in the back and only saw weeds, grass, and bushes growing. It was a sad sight to the place so out of shape; but it happens when its not being taken care of in so many years.

The back door was completely open and we went in silently. It appeared as if no one has been here in a while, but I didn't want to chance it. It was like any other castle you might have seen in your life. A grand ball room, a waiting room, the throne room. A staircase that lead to the other three stories. We looked at each floor thoroughly, as well as every room we found, but we came across nothing that could help us. We decided to take a break and flopped down into the thrones. I released a yelp as I landed on something hard.

I stood up and pulled the cushion back to see a small leather bound book and a key.

"Hey Mo, did we come across a locked door?"

"Yeah," She stood and came over. I picked up the book as she picked up the key. I flipped to the first page as Mo lead me to the door in the back of the room.

Entry one,

I killed someone today. They told me it was apart of my job, that I had to kill to protect my charge. I don't like killing. I don't like the feel of blood running down my hands as I held their heart in my hands. I couldn't even look at her for a week after it happened. I couldn't bare to see the disappointment and fear in her eyes. I knew it would be there too. She had told me a long time ago that she hated fighting, hated blood, and I had promised her never to harm someone if it could be helped. I broke my promise and I feel so completely horrible for it.

When I finally did gain the courage to look her in the eye, she was smiling at me. It floored me to see that look, I don't know why she was smiling, and I wanted to ask her why she was doing so. But i wished most of all that I could have seen it again before I was dragged off for more training. Sometimes I hate that I'm a Guardian. Really, I do. All I want to do is spend time with her... I can't lose her. Not now.

I frowned at the entry and closed the book, walking down the stairs that led to the basement of the castle, grabbing a hanging torch and lighting it so we could see better. We were greeted to the sight of a room that looked like someone's guilty pleasures. Yeah, if their guilty pleasures were to whip someone to death. The room had so many different types of whips and canes on the wall that I think I might actually loose count of them if I tried to figure out how many there were. One of the walls had several different sets of chains attached to it with a chair sitting directlly in front of it. There was a door ingrated into the wall next to it and upon closer exception, we saw that it was opened ever so slightly.

I silently handed the torch to Mo and walked quietly over to the door. I opened it a little more and looked in cautiously. It was empty expect for a small box sitting in the middle of the room. I went and retrived it, and brought it back over to Mo so we could both see what was in it.

A small black ring greeted us when I opened it. It was plain in design, but it had a small symbol engraved into the outside, stretching around the whole thing. 'Gook luck, S.' was graved into the inside of the metal.

"'Good luck, S'? What's that suppose to mean?" Mo murmured.

I ignored it and closed the lid, placing the box and book into the duffel bag that was strapped over my shoulder. I looked around the room again and frowned as I noticed another box placed on the chair. When I opened it, I found a note.

"I am sorry, my love. I didna mean to hurt you. Please, a beg that you forgive me for what I have done to you. Please understand that. Please, I need you to. I need you to know that they had tortured me for years, drained me so completely of life that they had gotten what they needed to know. I didna mean to hurt you. I didna mean to tell them the truth! Please! You need to know, need to understand. I lo-"

I folded the paper and put it in the duffel bag as well. I looked back at Mo and found her eyes transfixed on the wall of weapons. I turned and held back a gasp as I saw what looked like a ghost standing there, deciding what tool to use. We stepped back and watched as he found what he wanted and grabbed it, walking over to the wall with the chains. Another ghost was there, female, chained up tight. Blood was trailing down her back and she was screaming as another man was driving small daggers into her spinal column.

That man stepped back as the one with the three tailed whip stepped forward. He had a feral grin on his face as he whipped her senseless.

"Tell us what we want to know." He demanded.

"I will not betray her like that!" She yelled back, screaming as he whipped her again.

The scene fell away and we where left in the room alone. I turned to Mo, who had the same look on her face as I did.

"Ready to go?" I asked, we needed to get out of here before something else even weirder happened.

She nodded and we silently left the basement and the castle. We took our time as we climbed back down from where we started from and walked down the path provided to the travelers and tourists. Soon we found ourselves back in the hotel room, resting on my bed as I flipped through the book I had found. Hopefully it could give me a clue as to what was going on.

I'm never doing that again. Healing wounds without a body hurts like hell. I heard Kimmie calling my name, but I couldn't even muster up the energy to talk back. I was lying down on my back and staring at the blackness above me. I was so tired, and I wished that I could sleep, but once again, I was not aloud that luxury, so I had to settle with humming for now. I had done the same for Pumpkin last night. It was a tone I had made up when I was younger, there were several younger slaves that had nightmares, and I had learned that humming calmed them down.

I had made my own because at the time, there were not that many groups of people who played music, and the type that we did hear was so annoying that I dared not hum it for them. I use to stay up all night humming, so that they could get some sleep. I would always spend my lunch break sleeping, and usually gave my food to either Rachel or one of the youngers. They needed it more then I did anyway.

The humming helped me relax, and recharge, but I really wished I could see what Kimmie and her friend were going through in the castle. I hadn't been there in a long time, and was wondering if it was still intact. I couldn't stop the frown from forming as I felt a sense of revulsion wash through me. I knew it was Kimmie's emotions that I was feeling, but I really wish I knew what she was seeing. I hope it wasn't anything to bad.

I felt her taking the necklace off, and I hoped she would only be taking a shower. I didn't like being left alone for too long. I had just gotten used to being able to feel again, and I didn't want the feeling to end yet. She had brought it all back to the surface, and now that it was here, I'd be damned if I wasn't going to try and keep it.

I continued to let my mind wonder as I relaxed and got my energy back. I thought about Rachel for a while, and hoped that she was living a pleasant life right now. She had always been the type of person to worry more about others then herself. She had calmed me down more times then I could count in the past, and knowing her, she was probably listening to people's problems and helping them solve it.

That's sounds a lot like her, huh? Oh, wait. Sorry, I forgot you have yet to meet her. Don't worry, she'll be someone you like. She's a real likable person. You'll see.

Well, Kimmie put me back on, so yeah, have to hum now to help her sleep. Goon Night Princess. Sleep well.

A/N: I know I made Shego talk as if she was right in front of you, but I couldn't help it. I don't really have much to say, so yeah...

Hope you enjoyed this chapter. ^^
