Chapter Seven: Confessions of a Teenage Heroine
(and a mercenary)
A.N. Hey all sorry about the wait for numerous reasons I have been tied up so I hope you all enjoy this little chapter I whipped up. Also thanks to my new reviewers Darkshadow-lord and frogscookies. Hope to see more reviews comin up."Ready to go Princess?" Shego asked starting her Chrysler ME Four-Twelve ME in her trademark black and green.
"Uh yeah Shego," Kim muttered unable to voice much enthusiasm. As Shego pulled out of the parking garage of the hospital an awkward silence filled the car and finally fed up with it Shego turned to Kim and asked,
"What's wrong Kim usually the hard part is getting you to stop talking," Shego smirked but Kim just sat there hands folded staring at her lap. Shego then gave a loud cough and Kim's head jerked up as if stung and all she could say was,
"Shego now that you are free are you going to leave?" The question shook Shego to her core and she was shocked at the tears in Kim's eyes. An icy silence took over the car and it was another couple miles before Shego began talking again.
"Princess do me a favor and think back to when we became friends." Shego's tone was icy so Kim began thinking back to that day and began to recite what had happened that day.
It all started the Friday after the first-crush mission. Kim had decided to spend the day leading up to the dance at Sensei O'Riley's dojo. It had started out simply with Kim warming up in one of the locker rooms and at the sound of a gong she entered the dojo to fight the special fighter that Sensei O'Riley had promised Kim in order to improve her skills for when she had to fight Shego again. Just as she turned to bow to her Sensei a voice cut through the air and caused Kim to turn in surprise,
"Princess what the hell are you doing here?" Shego roared lighting up her hands and leaping at Kim and roaring. Kim didn't reply with words and immediately dove into a back flip driving her feet up and under Shego's chin launching Shego up to the ceiling and then leaped after her landing both feet in Shego's stomach smashing her into the ceiling.
As Shego dropped down she managed to land in a crouch and kicked out at Kim's feet forcing Kim to leap over her as Shego grabbed Kim and hurled her into the wall Kim used the wall as a springboard and put her entire body into the tackle hitting Shego in the stomach and knocking the wind out of her but not before Shego pounded Kim's back with her clenched fists and drove her breath out as well. The two combatants struggled to their feet but were interrupted by a gong and a voice going,
"First round is a tie," Sensei O'Riley said, "We'll keep going until you two are ready to quit.
"What!" both Kim and Shego shouted.
"You lassies came to me wanting to fight someone who you could learn from and the only people you two could learn from is each other. So chop-chop let's begin round two and take it from there. The two turned towards each other at the sound of the gong and began again.
"Thanks for letting me stay Kim," Shego said.
"No problem Shego," Kim's muffled reply came through the bathroom door where she was getting ready for bed. At least that was what Shego was hoping and that Kim wouldn't pass out, okay so she had thought it would be funny to see Kim embarrassed and it was a hot night to it seemed a natural choice to wear her sheer black silk night gown, what she hadn't expected was Kim's nose geyser to go off. As she waited for Kim to finish Shego thought back to how this all started.
After trashing Sensei O'Riley's dojo, for thirty-one consecutive ties with only a small rest in between, it was pretty late so Kim had offered Shego a place to stay for the night. Just then Kim exited the bathroom and Shego's own nose geyser went off as she stared at Kim wearing a pair of black short-shorts and a black tank top with a blood red hear on it and that didn't even bother to cover her midriff at all.
"Yeah I forgot that it was laundry day and this was the only clean sleep clothes that would have been comfortable," Kim began with a modest shrug and continued, "actually I forgot I even had this Bonnie gave this to me back in middle school as a birthday joke… uhm Shego you okay."
Shego's only coherent thought was, "whoever is responsible for this wonderful sight, be it god or devil, thank you." Shego then gave a small cough and said as she patted the empty space next to her, "It looks great on you Princess now how about we get to bed." Savoring Kim's blush as Kim crawled into bed turning off the lamp and cuddling up to Shego causing Shego to blush and miss Kim's cocky grin.
"Thanks Shego," Kim said and thinking quickly she asked, "hey Shego I really enjoyed our time at Sensei O'Riley's dojo and I was wondering if you would like to be friends. After all it seems that there is a lot we have in common and could learn from each other."
"Sure Princess but you do realize that this doesn't change anything when were both on the job."
"Of course not I just think that we can have a better time in our off duty hours if we had someone to hang out with."
"Okay then cupcake I accept now good night," Shego said leaning in and giving Kim a quick kiss on the lips which was returned just as quickly and they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
"Dam G.J. bastards," Shego's frustrated shriek pulled Kim out of memory lane.
"Shego what wrong?"
"I'll tell you what's wrong they only gave my car half a tank my baby is supposed to have a full tank at all times, how dare they treat her this way." Shego growled with frustration and pulled over to the side of the road just as the sun was setting. Shego looked up and saw that they were near an open cliff she got out of the car and dragging Kim over to the center so that they could talk in private without anyone sneaking up on them. Kim recognized this place and began to turn the color of the sun set and started stuttering,
"Ah, Shego what are we doing here."
"Kim when you and I agreed to be friends I swore that no matter what happened in our personal lives I would never lie to you and I would do my best to make sure that you didn't get hurt." Shego said lightly stroking Kim's cheek which left Kim shaking. "You were the first person outside my family to care about me just because you cared and weren't look for something. It feels nice to be wanted by someone as wonderful as you."
"Well you see Shego, the thing is, I really like you as a friend too, you're a good person…" Kim's voice wore down no longer able to form a complete sentence and just stood there blushing.
"Princess what's wrong?" Shego asked finally tired of dealing with a blushing, stuttering Kim Possible.
"Sorry Shego it's just that this place is…" Kim couldn't even finish and just trailed off staring into the ground.
Shego got down on one knee and took Kim's hands in her own and asked the stuttering Kim, "Kim what is it about this place that has got you so upset?" A blushing Kim could only mumble,
"I'm not upset,"
"Then what is it?" Shego asked with a raised eye brow to which Kim defied all known facts and turned even redder than the sunset acting as a backdrop to this touching scene and said almost too fast to understand,
"This place is called Lover's Union,"
"Oh," was all a dark green blushing Shego could say.
