A/N:

OMG.

I am SO sorry. I know I promised to update this earlier, but you see, real life kinda cut me down.

Yes, I had a relationship, but we broke up already. I didn't work the way we imagined, so yeah. Whatever xD I'm moving on. But I could NOT write any happy fluffy KiGo stuff while I was screwed up lovesick...

But now, here we go.

As I said, I have the storyline already finished in my head, I only need to find the right words and details to finish the chapters.

Here you go.

Tell me

Over and over and over and over again

The time for us

It never was

The time to let me in

Show me

Over and over and over and over again

It never was

The time for us

It never was

The time to let me in

Chapter 6

Mystery

The next day at classes Kim wasn't as inattentive as before.

She called. She's fine. She has to hide for now but it's gonna be okay.

The redhead smiled happily. She kept repeating those words in her head whenever insecurity threatened to overwhealm her. The fear of maybe having lost Shego had tied her heart up no end. But now that she new the ex-villain was fine she felt relieved.

But this should not last for long.

–

A few weeks passed by without any sign of Shego.

What was kind of mysterious as well was that no one of Kim's usual enemies showed up either. Insecurity grew stronger again, but Kim tried to keep up her mask to not alarm any of her friends that something was major wrong here.

–

Beep-Beep-Be-Beep.

"What's up, Wade?"

"I found a sign of Shego."

"Really? So she's back?", Kim asked euphorically.

"Back?" Wade arched an eyebrow.

Kim grimaced.

Watch your words, Possible, or he'll find out.

"I mean like, back for you to find a trace."

"Yeah. It's somewhere in the south... like, on top of a mountain for the eagle to grab them. Easy to go there and Drakken seems to be there too. I guess they're planning some new take-over-the-world thing. Might be worth checking."

She's with Drakken? What the-- I thought she quit!

Wait, wait... Maybe she's just picking up her stuff...

"Kim?"

"Yes, sorry Wade, what did you say?"

"I said it's weird that first of all she does everything to get out of reach for the GPS and now they're like... so obvious. It's not their style, usually Drakken picks some underwater lair, thinking I wouldn't find him there."

"Hmm.." Kim thougt about it for a second.

"Okay, gimme a ride and I'll check. Will you tell Ron as well?"

"Sure thing, Kim."

"Thanks."

Just WHAT is going on.

–

After several tries of climbing the mountain – Ron had lost his balance a few times and if it weren't for Kim to catch him he'd have fallen all the way down into the river at the foot of the mountain – they finally reached the top and had not yet been seen. At least that was what they hoped.

Without another word Kim motioned for Ron to follow her as they entered the lair.

Inside they were surprised by a bunch of henchmen that seemed to pop out from nowhere and attacked them. They fought as always, Ron being the "distraction" that helped Kim to place her attacks precisely and thus Kim was the one who knocked them out. Just as always.

One thing was different this time though. The henchmen were not the bunch of jerks they usually were. These ones were trained fighters who evaded or blocked many of Kim's kicks and punches and were not as easily defeated as they used to be.

"Seems Drakken finally invested some money into better defense for his world-domination stuff.", Kim commented when she dodged another attack.

What was also new were the eletric sticks attached to the overalls of the men. Kim and Ron had to watch out more than usual to avoid getting hit by one. Each stick glowed ominously and flickered with electricity when the men waved them around, trying to hit a strike.

"KP! HALP!", Ron shrieked from somehwere behind Kim. When the redhead whirled around she saw him surrounded by 6 of the men and knew immeditately that they didn't stand a chance against them all.

"You know, I think this is kinda unfair.", she said and took out her grab hook. She knew when it was time to stop fighting and just leg it. She shot the hook to a bar over her head and jumped, grabbed Ron in her flight and landed on a higher leveled platform.

"Thanks KP.", Ron said out of breath. Before Kim could answer a laughter sounded from behind.

"Finally, Kim Possible!" Kim whirled around and faced a huge monitor that showed a blue man standing in the middle of a lab.

"Drakken!"

"I was waiting for you."

"I figured. Otherwise you would not have presented your lair like a plate of raw flesh in front of a lion?", Kim sneered.

"Her mocking attitude sure is rubbing off on you.", Drakken said, obviously referring to Shego. Kim stepped up in front of the monitor.

"Well, where is she anyway? Your henchmen are so no opponents to me.", Kim asked.

Drakken's eyes narrowed.

"Why would you care, Possible. But if you must know, I sent her out to do me a little favor." Kim tried to keep her face neutral as her heart sank.

She said she quit... Why is she working for him...

Deception filled her when her eyes narrowed as well.

"And what kind of 'favor' is that?"

"Oh, just a little this and that for my new machine of doom", Drakken bragged, seeming to not notice that he was giving away important information. The Kimmunicator beeped.

"Yeah, Wade?"

"Kim, Shego is not in the lair. I found her trace way down south, in the middle of the jungle."

"What would Dr. D want her to get in a jungle?", Kim wondered.

"HEY, Possible! It's me who's talking to you!", Drakken called indignantly, but Kim ignored him.

"I don't know, but I'm not getting anything that would point to a danger here. We'd better go check if we find something in that jungle, but the connection will be kinda bad there.", Wade explained, "I got a ride for you."

"All right. Thanks." Kim stuffed the Kimmunicator back into her pocket and waved for Ron to follow her.

"HEY! You can't just walk in an out as if you live here!" Drakken outraged and pressed a button which opened the gates and let some hundred henchmen enter the room.

"Oh great. We don't have time for this.", Kim stated and used her grab hook once more to swing down and over the heads of the henchmen to the exit, Ron grabbing her waist and tight as he could and screaming into her ear. She landed on both her feet, put the hook to her belt and grabbed Ron by his shirt to drag him to the helicopter that was sent to pick them up.

Drakken's shouts of disappointment echoed behind them as they gained height.

–

While Ron was playing cards with Rufus on their flight Kim talked to Wade.

"What do you mean?", Kim asked, trying to hide that she knew very well what Wade meant as he had asked her what was wrong with her.

"I mean, you seem distracted, Kim. You're not really focussing and I have to tell you everything twice before you actually get what I'm saying. Now don't tell me it's nothing because it seems to affect you a great deal. And just because I may be nerdy and spend almost all my time in front of my pc's that doesn't mean I'm a total ignorant when it comes to feelings."

Kim was a ittle surprised and that last comment, but knew he was right.

"Is it that obvious?", she asked, trying to smile a little.

"You may fool Ron with your 'It's no big'-method, but not me, Kim.", Wade replied.

"Okay, so now that you have noticed, it's true. I'm not okay, but it is complicated and you would not believe me anyway."

"Kim, I have come around a bit, so I'm not that easily shocked. So go on, tell me."

Kim shot a quick glance at her blond companion to make sure he wasn't listening before turning her attention back to Wade.

"Wade, I... You know, telling you could change our entire friendship, and I don't wanna destroy anything, so pl-"

"You're in love."

–

Wade had been right. Kim hadn't been able to fool him into believing she was all right. She had told him what had happened between her an Shego, and true, he had been shocked but this coming-out had been less embarassing and painful than she would have thought it to had actually surprised her by saying that he knew all along that something like his was going to happen some day, and that it had been only a matter of time.

He hadn't believed her at first when she had told him that Shego had quit, only to be back on the clock now as it seemed.

"Why would she do this? I'm sorry to say that but Kim, it doesn't make much sense to return to Drakken if she really loved you."

"I know...", Kim said softly and for a short moment allowed her sadness to show on her face. Wade looked away politely and typed something on his keyboard.

"I'm sure this is a big misunderstanding, Kim. You know, I watched you. I mean, Drakken's so fond of easily-hacked monitors that it would be a shame if I's let the possibility slip to watch your missions from time to time. And the indications were quite clear. I mean, you should have seen the last time that you and Shego fought. If 'fought' is even the right word here." He winked at her and Kim smiled slightly at the memory, but the smile faded quickly to be replaced by a serious look.

"I really thought we could make it, you know... I never felt anything like this for anyone before, Wade. Not even for Ron.", Kim confessed. Wade nodded understandingly.

"I will investigate on this, Kim. Maybe we're gonna find out what's wrong when we find Shego."

–

Drakken shut down the monitors after Kim had left his lair. Her folded his hands behind his back and walked around in the lab, a big smirk on his face. His plan was working very well, and domination would soon be his, he knew. Kim had fallen into his trap so easily. His henchmen – which really were trained ones now, because he knew he would need them again soon - had only been a distarction. Finally, victory would come to him and everyone would look up to him, even his archfoe Kim Possible and his always-mocking sidekick Shego.

What was SHE thinking anyway? First she mocked him all the time and took him for a dumbass, then she did not really put all her efforts into fighting her nemesis, and then she just quit him without any reason whatsoever. He had never questioned her loyalty, but now he knew he shouldn't have trusted her.

"Revenge will be mine, and so will be the entire world!", Drakken exclaimed and laughed at his own brilliance.

He picked up his telephone and dialed the number of his "ally".

"Hello? Yes, this is Dr. Drakken here... Yes, everything worked out fine...."

–

Darkness. Darkness everyhwere. She didn't see anything, and she had lost any orientation whatsoever. She could have been in a room or in a cave, in a prison cell maybe, but she couldn't say for sure because it was pitch dark and there was no one with her.

Left alone in the darkness. Oh great. I don't remember involving this in my plans.

Her head felt dizzy, she was dog tired and had a sick feeling to er stomach. They must have drugged her to get her here. Otherwise no one would have caught her anyway.

When she tried to lift her hand to hold her aching head she realised that her hands were tied behind her back, as were her legs and over her waist there was a huge metal clamp that held her up, leaving her unable to move. And the sick feeling came also from a knob in her mouth that made her want to gag.

Whoever did this to me is so gonna burn.

She tried to free her hands, her legs, anything at all, but it was impossible. The only thing she could do was wait until someone – most likely the one who caught her and would have to pay for this – came to see her.
