It has come to my attention that I put Kim as a Tom(which means boy cat) I meant to put Tabby even though she's a cat she's still a girl. I already changed it but for those who already had their mind set to that…sorry. I'm such a dweeb and I'm sorry for the confusion. Please don't be mad at me.

Chapter 4

Thus began their journey to turn back into humans. The silence was awkward enough walking in a murky tunnel and Kim couldn't handle it anymore.

"Hey Shego."

"Hmmm."

"Is it me or does the tunnel not look as dark as it should."

"Call me crazy but I think it's because of becoming cats. Rina has very good vision in the dark."

"Oh… Who's that?" Kim had heard the plan but what she couldn't figure out was who Rina was. It made her curious to know what her relationship was to the thief.

"…" Shego didn't answer because she didn't believe the heroine had a right to know about ANYthing in her life. Kim took the hint and continued to walk in the not as dark musky tunnel. Luck seem to finally take a liking to them as a dim light at the end of the tunnel became closer and closer.

This is going to be a snap, thought Shego already planning on her revenge with Drakken. He was going to pay dearly for his stupid invention. Unfortunately luck wasn't on their side it actually enjoyed making them suffer.

"OH! COME ON!" shouted the thief. At the end of the tunnel was an exit that showed there was no way to climb back up . The only promising trail was a descending slope that led to a dense forest which looked pretty easy to get lost in. From the angle they were at they could see a city on the other side of the forest, the city is their only hope. Shego gave out a loud sigh before taking the first step down the slope. However Kim was not so easily convinced in her mind there had to be a more sane choice.

"What are you doing Shego?"

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm going through this god forsaken forest to get help. See that city Rina lives there and if we find her she could help us change back into humans." There was that name again but this time Kim had bigger concerns; the forest that is.

"But-But there could be animals Shego animals that could eat us."

"Look around you Kimmie we're sitting ducks out here besides I don't know about you but I'm hungry and I remember seeing a creek full of fishes so you can stay here all by yourself or you can come with me."

It was starting to sound like a better plan until…

"Wait how do I know that once we're reached Rina that you guys won't kidnap me for real"

"As IF I wanted to do that."Kim immediately regretted saying it as Shego gave her a disgusted look and started to walk alone.

Kim didn't know what to do, she contemplated her options. On one hand Shego was right no one is searching around this area, they would most likely look at Shego's hideout on the other hand the forest can be a dangerous place especially since they are small cats plus it would be getting dark soon. Kim looked up to see that Shego's tail disappear behind a bush and that's when Kim made her decision, "Wait for me Shego! I'm sorry."

Both cats were on alert as they searched for the creek neither complained about how close they were at least physically. This wasn't the time for any teasing this was the fight for survival and both would play nice till then. Kim was the first to hear water running as her ears perked in its direction. Once they both caught the sound they walked even faster as their stomachs demanded to be filled. Kim was in awe at the beauty of the river. it wasn't very wide but it looked like it had a strong current and best of all was that it had fish! But how were they going to catch them?

"Soooo now what?" asked Kim see that Shego had distance herself from them.

"Get your own fish."

"How?"

" I don't know but you're crazy if you think I'm going to help you."

"Shego!" whined Kim, "This is stupid it would be better if we work together."

"Says who?"

"Ahhh fine," Kim said defeated. The fighting was just not worth it right now.

Shego had position herself over the water ready to swipe at any unlucky fish. Unfortunately the fish could see her shadow and stayed away from the green cat pissing her off. They were more interested in the furry worm that was swimming alongside the shore trying to escape its fate. If they only knew it was a tail that belonged to a very hungry Tom cat which made Shego even angrier.

"Hey! Your stealing all the damn fishes!" she growled at Kim.

"That's not my problem you said I'd have to figure it out and I-OUCH!" Right then and there a fish bit Kim's tail making her scream in pain and run around like a manic. Shego tried to help by swiping at the damn fish off but Kim was moving too much.

"Princess will you stop moving enough for me to –uh oh" Shego couldn't move away fast enough as Kim ran right into her head on. Both saw stars right after the pain dulled down. Shego was the first to notice that the fish had escaped.

"Ah Kimmie look at what you did."

"ME! I was doing fine until you tried to steal my fish." Shego tackled Kim and again all they could do was swipe hair off and try to gain victory by being on top. After awhile Kim was able to push Shego off leaving them both spent and panting for air. Neither did anything as they continued to glare daggers at each other until Kim realized something. In their turmoil they had wrestled in mud leaving them both covered in dirt and their fur were all matted in filthy chunks. They looked absolutely ridiculous. Kim was the first to start laughing which became infectious and soon Shego was laughing too. It was the first time they were comfortable enough to laugh with each instead of each other and it felt good.

"I guess you were right we'll work together and show these fishes not to mess with us," Shego offered wiping a tear from her eye. They agreed that Kim's tail would be the perfect bait since it was what caught the first fish in the first place and Shego would just catch it when it gets close enough.

"Um Shego?" Kim said eyeing a potential meal.

"Yeah," Shego said focused on the fish that was going towards Kin's tail.

"You're going to get it before it bites me right?" The fish was medium size and was swimming around her tail.

"Uh-huh."

"Are you sure?"

"Princess trust me," Shego said without realizing it.

"okay," Kim said feely oddly better. She couldn't help but whimper as the fish was getting closer and closer until…

SWIPE!

The fish flew out of the water surprised by the attack and was flopping on the land stunned by the lack of water. Just as it was about to escape Shego pounced on it making sure it won't escape like the last one did. Now all they needed to do was start a fire. They gathered branches, sticks and rocks to cook their catch of the day. Somehow Kim had managed to start a fire since Shego couldn't use her powers.

"How did you do that?" Shego asked amazed at Kim.

"Well you see-"

"Stop! I've heard enough," Shego said raising a paw for emphasis. There were some things she did not have time for and useless babbling was one of them. They roasted the fish and enjoyed a pretty good meal despite the situation they were in. That is till night came.

"What was that?" Kim asked jumping at every noise she heard. Kim had a right to be paranoid they used to be top predators but now they can be a hawk's tasty snack if they aren't careful. The occasional whimpers and shrieks made Shego chuckle but after awhile it started getting annoying. Shego was aware of the situation but panicking would not turn them back to humans so she just shrugged the feeling off. The heat of the fire felt pleasingly good to her and sleepiness was winning over her. She pushed the dirt and branches with her paws instinctively to make soft bedding and finally coiled tightly to keep her body warmth and gave one last yawn before she was ready to sleep. At least that was the plan.

"S-Shego?" she heard.

" What?"

"C-can I sleep next to you?" Kim asked quietly imaging that the bushes were monsters and she was their next victim.

"No," Shego said. She could hear a whimper that was getting louder until Shego had to open one eye. To her horror Kim's cat eyes looked huge and teary with quivering lips and a face that could stop an army in its place. It was a cat's version of the puppy dog pout.

"Awww fine just stop doing that."

"Yay," said Kim curling up to the villainess. Shego tried to scowl but Kim's purring and her face was just too cute to get mad at. They both fell asleep quite peacefully even after everything that had happened.

Again sorry for the confusion.
