I do not own any of the characters they belong to diseny.
Prodigal Daughter
(some time before noon)
A squeal cause Kim to look in the direction of Monique, who she's come to realize is something of a fashion diva as she hold up an outfit just the newborns size, but it's a dress, Kim smile "it's cute, but he's a boy not a girl"
Monique smile back at the redhead "I know I just think it's so cute and even if he is a boy he's got to be styling, because from our window shopping the other day you don't have taste in anything"
Kim gasp "I so so"
"uh so don't"
Kim smirk "if you do have such great taste then why are you working for GJ why not become a designer?"
"I plan on being one and..." she shrug "I thought it would be fun, plus..." she look back at the clothes "I know you don't want to hear this, but besides you I'm the only one able to get and keep Sanai calm"
olive eyes look at her in confusion "what do you mean?" she rub the infant's back as he start moving in the sling she got earlier
"I'm sure Betty told you about the spirit..." she whisper "inside Sanai right?" the redhead nod "well before she can get to the point of no return those she care deeply about, they have to keep her sane, but at times it's at a very high cost the one trying to calm a vessel down can be hurt or even killed and it's a risk I'm willing to take"
"why... if it means you could die?"
Monique hole out an outfit for the infant with a wistful smile "she saved my life I think it's only right I protect her sanity"
Kim nod her head in understanding "would it be alright for me to ask how she saved you?"
"nah it's cool, but later"
Kim nod and her baby boy starts crying, she pick up the newborn and cradle him while at the same time she shush him quietly and check to see if he needs to be change, but he's all clean she smile down at him "it's okay, everything is fine I won't let anything happen to you I promise" she whisper although she has not idea why she's telling him this, but apparently it calms him down and he goes back to sleep, she then place him carefully back in the baby sling
"you sure are milking this mothering thing aren't you?"
Kim give her one of Ron's grins "I guess it came out when I first held him, but I've always been close with kids like I can connect with them"
"I believe it" the cocoa beauty says with a shrug she look at the items they're carrying "I guess we have everything on that incredibly long list your Mom wrote out...need anything else not on the list?"
the redhead think for a minute "none that I think of right now and if I do I'm sure the territory may have it, but don't you think this is a bit much plus I don't have much money to pay for all of this"
"girl don't worry about the paying part, I got that, well Lady SweetFire does"
Kim look at her with great confusion, but decide to file it for later "well...if you say so" there's so hesitation in her voice
"good time to eat" they pay for their things then head to lunch.
Will pull up to Ron and Yori's one story home, hoping to not have to wait long and his wish is granted, the Japanese female comes out with a medium sized suitcase, she lock her door then walk over to the car "hello Agent Du how are you?"
"hi I am fine and yourself"
Yori smile at him "I'm alright" Nina pop out her shirt pocket and wave to the asian male
Will look down at her "hello to you too Nina"
the mole rat blush ans sink in the pocket again Yori chuckle "looks like you have an admirer Agent"
"I'm flattered" he says with a smile and pull out the driveway
"so what kind of assignment is this, is it a protection mission or..." she trail off unsure with the need for her and Ron to be with Kim
"I will let Dr. Director brief you, we're going to pick her up now" Yori nod and decide to meditate while she has the time.
Betty's face scrunch up from the sun's bright light shining on her with slow, sleep filled groping she search the bed for her wife, but all she feel is cold sheets, she open her eye to look around the room "Vivvy?" silence "Vivvy?" with a sigh she get out of bed, put on the silk robe across the room laid out in a heap and open the door smelling breakfast signaling to her that Vivian is still home she pad downstairs and wrap her arms around the blond from behind "morning babe"
Vivian kiss her cheek "morning just getting up?"
"doesn't it look like it...where's my eye patch I didn't see it on the floor or the nightstand"
Vivian stop scrambling the eggs and look at the ceiling to think about the events of last night "did you check the bathroom?"
Betty walk over to the small breakfast table and sit down crossing her legs "no I still had it on in the shower and when we left the bathroom"
"under the bed?"
the one-eyed woman chuckle "you think it's there?"
a blond eyebrow raise "do you really want me to answer that?"
the brown haired woman look down at red scratches on the side of the blond's calves and the visible parts of her thighs then look at her own legs and laugh "well judging by the carpet burns I guess not"
"your fault"
"oh so it's my fault you're so damn irresistible?" she wiggle her eyebrows with a sly smile causing the blond to blush
"no..." Vivian reprimand her "I have to leave for work in about an hour and a half"
"I'll be happy to use up that half for you"
blue eyes look at her "nypho"
Betty lean back in the chair and cross her arms "only for you is that so bad?"
Vivian place the pan in the sink then walk over to Betty and kiss her softly, the brown-haired female remain in her crossed position, but accept the kiss, a hand uncross her legs and arms then the blond sit on her lap moving to kiss her neck while one of her hands slide in Betty's robe to tease her breasts and when Vivian's fingers pinch a nipple the one-eyed woman's breathing hitch, the blond can smell her wife's desire, so she lean close to her ear "my answer is still no" she then get up to get their plates ignoring the now frustrated Betty to sit in the chair dealing with what she had done to her
'I hate when she tease me like that, but I also love it' she sigh 'great now I'm not making any sense' Betty rub her forehead then look up when her plate is placed on the table the blond wink at her and place her own plate down,
but before Vivian even get a chance to sit down for a nice, calm breakfast a hand grab her wrist, she make a surprised noise when she's pulled back onto Betty's lap, but with her back to the one-eyed woman she struggle to get free "Liz I told you..." she moan a little when warm lips kiss her neck while one hand massage her breasts and the other slide up her thigh to her pussy and one finger rub across her clit "come on Liz I have to get ready in a little bit" she whimper, but Betty ignores her and for the next thirty to forty minutes the house especially the kitchen echo with sounds of pleasure and both women lay on the floor naked and breathing hard from their climax "I hope...I don't be...late"
"you shou-" the doorbell cut her off, the one-eye woman groan, kip to her feet and storm to the front door opening it with enough force to almost rip it off its hinges "what?" she snarl
Will doesn't budge having smelt the sign of sex from the driveway now he's just fighting his impulsive urges "we leave today"
Betty look over at Yori, who tuned around after returning to an upright position after the sudden door opening, then sigh "I know I wa-"
Will nod "I understand ma'am, but may I suggest we got inside or you're going to cause a scene"
his commanding officer smirk "just a minute" she close the door, head to the kitchen and chuckle when she find it empty she grab her robe and open the door again "come in...I'll be back" she walk up the stairs to her bedroom.
(flashback)
Shego head home after shopping and while putting up her groceries the doorbell ring "shit I don't even know why I installed the damn thing anyway" rubbing her ears she open the door and is perplexed by the person she hasn't seen in months standing there the only reason she knows who it is, is because she still smell the same even if her body is completely different, a ghost of her former self her blood begins to boil, but like before she doesn't interfere, Monique stand there hold herself with a nervous, scared expression she try smiling "h-hey S-Sanai..." she swallow hard "c-c-can I come in?" Shego step aside to allow her room
they walk to the living room to sit down and Monique hold herself tighter while Shego just watch, studying her trying to figure out who this female is she's seeing now, but Monique suddenly jump to her feet "sorry to impose...I-I-I'll leave" she head for the door and that snap Shego out her daze
"Mo wait" the dark-skinned girl stop and slowly turn around, now the plasma-wielder can get a good look at her and see that her skin doesn't have that youthful glow anymore it's dull and ashy, she's lost alot of weight you can see her bones and Shego can bet her inheritance that if you strip her you can see her ribs and pelvis and she's probably also scarred all over, her once beautiful, long wavy hair is missing in places and shorter, Shego walk over to her and embrace her in a comforting hug, Monique try pulling away, but eventually give in and bawled until sleep claimed her Shego carry her to her bed not trusting the girl on her own, determined to get some information out of her once she's awake and ready to talk.
Some time late in the afternoon the next day Monique wake up and suddenly realize that she's not in her room or bed, she jump off as if the whole room is on fire and run down the stairs in fear, while she's not watching where she's going she bump right into Shego, who was coming to check on her, she fall to the floor in a fetal position begging for mercy, Shego is shocked at first then furious the next at what the girl is reduced to, she pull her friend close to comfort her "Monique it's alright, it's me Sanai I'm not going to hurt you"
the dark-skinned female finally calm down after an hour of coaxing and realize who's holding her "Sanai?" her ring out sleepily, Shego look down at her "I'm sorry I was wrong, just stupid in staying with that bastard I'm so sorry" Shego hold back her tears and shush her back to sleep.
The next day same time Monique wake up to the smell of breakfast, her mouth start watering and follow the enticing smell to the kitchen, Shego hold out a plate and she hesitantly take it and exit out through the other entrance the dinning room where Shego soon join her, they eat in silence then Shego take both plates and clean up the kitchen while Monique sit at the table not sure about what to do, after Shego is finished she comes back to the empty chair and stare at her and for awhile she doesn't say anything making her friend uncomfortable "you look better" she comment not changing her calm expression
Monique smile and comb her hair back with her fingers or what's left of her hair "I want you to get some more sleep and I'll wake you up around lunchtime" her friend nod and head upstairs, half an hour later she go to her room to check on the emaciated girl once she sees she's asleep she leave to handle a little business and she take Monique's key with her, Shego walk through the house gathering things of Monique's clothes, designs, and anything else the girl might need "Chris better be glad he's not here or he'd end up a missing man" then she gets an idea, when she's done with the packing she grab a chair and sit right in the foyer waiting for the douche bag to walk in.
Chris walk into the house talking on his cell phone, but when he spot Shego sitting so causally in his house the phone is forgotten, he look at the bag on the floor by her feet and smirk "seeing as you've already moved your shit out you green freak that must be Monique's meaning she's with you" he chuckle "you know you're invading on private property and I can take you in for it, but I rather handle this myself" he put his stuff down "okay..." he roll up his sleeves "where's my property?"
Shego calmly rise to her feet "she's no one's property, you're not even married and even if you were this is the 21st century"
Chris chuckle "I feed her, clothe her, take care of her and use her when I see fit, so she's property now...where is she"
Shego examine her nails "I don't know if you've but I'm not Monique, I only put up with you because of her, she saved your face time and time again, but now that my lease is gone I can have my fun with you..." she flex her hands "and since I did invade on someone else's property I'll let you get first hit" she present her cheek to him
he smirk evilly "wonderful...don't be upset when you end up in a jail cell"
Shego roll her eyes "will you get on with it" Chris shrug and deliver a devastating haymaker, Shego's head snap right, he smirk and wait for Shego to fall, but he get the unexpected, Shego...laughing "you know what I'm not even going to waste the energy" she turn her head and return to an upright position "if you don't want to be in debt be out the house by the end of the month" she pick up the bag and walk towards the door
Shego stop and place a hand on an incredulous Chris's shoulder "if you ever come after Monique and I find out, not even the best detective will figure out what happened to you" she pat his cheek and leave, but at the end of the porch steps she turn around when he call her and is drilled with several bullets, Shego fall down and stay down, Chris walk over to her corpse and kick her then get the surprise of his life Shego kip to her feet "you just mad me mad" she lay her fingers on his forehead knocking him out and erase his memory in the process then sigh "now I have to get Dr. D's help..." she kick him "bastard" she flash back home.
(end flashback)
Monique sigh "that's the story Sanai got rid of the guy after he tried to kill her and she till have the bullet wounds as a reminder of her will to protect me and the lengths she'll go to do it"
Kim close her mouth and sit back "wow...why didn't you just call the police on him?"
"because he was the police if I were to report him, he would've found out and covered it up like the coward he was" the infant in the sling start fussing and squirming around, Kim pat his back, but it doesn't help he wail loud and strong "wow some lungs"
Kim smile "same thing Mom said...I'll be back" she grab a diaper out the baby bag and a box of wipes then walk to the bathroom, change his diaper and come back "and he's obviously a pooper too"
Monique chuckle "can I hold him?" Kim get back up and hand him over to the dark-skinned woman, cocoa eyes look down at him "he has some weird hair color white and yellow or maybe green?" she scrunch her face up in thought "huh...Sanai was saying he has some light red eyes"
"he does I've been wondering if it's going to stay that way or darken as he get older"
Monique cradle him in her arms and mess with his stomach making him squirm and kick his tiny little legs "so have you thought of a name yet?" Kim shake her head "okay...what do you have so far?"
"nothing should I go unique or original?" Monique hum to herself as she look down at the baby again "but I want to have his middle name to be James"
"like your Dad?" Monique ask while handing the baby back to his mother the redhead nod while taking her son and placing him back in the sling "I could help if you want?"
"that'll be spanking" the two star bouncing off names even as they leave the restaurant.
On the ride back to the territory Kim look at Monique "hey can I ask you who's Lady SweetFire?"
"huh?" that question came out the blue
"earlier when I asked you who was going to pay for the baby things you said 'Lady SweetFire got it' who is that, because, the only one called Lady is Ms. Cheyenne?"
Monique stop at a red light "girl you're kidding right?" the look Kim give her says it all "okay Lady SweetFire and Lady Cheyenne are one and the same"
"but why have two names?"
"well the way Sanai explained it was when one of your kind is born like regular humans the parents give their baby a name, but instead of just Monique or Kim they give them a Lycan name around the time they develop personalities and traits then once they pass the Ritual they receive a new Lycan name by the Alpha" she smile "and mine is StarlingLily"
Kim look at her with a mix of shock and confusion "but I thought you are a human?"
"I am and since Sanai left her pack a long time ago and had her own territory which made her Alpha I was allowed to participate in the Ritual and received a Lycan name"
Kim look at the clouds "I wonder what my name is?"
"I'm sure if you ask the 'rents they'll tell you, they might've left their pack, but they didn't leave their lineage"
Kim laugh a little in amusement "for a human you sure know a lo-" she cover her mouth "sorry Monique that was rude of me"
it's Monique's turn to laugh "girlfriend please it's alright I'll admit I am a bit nosy, but it's only because I like to gossip and plus Sanai use to talk about you and the packs of hers and your 'rents before the split also that part I found out by Dr. D the day Sanai realized who you were"
"and when was that?"
Monique smirk "the day you joined the squad."
(late afternoon)
While Betty and Yori board the aircraft Will go over inspections of the plane "Ms. Iwataka this is a mission of life and death...tomorrow you will be thrown on sacred land all you have to do is survive, your boyfriend will be with you, but in another area, reach the center and ring the bell together before noon on day six you both live, fail...you both die...do you understand?" with a stone face Yori nod "good and you also understand that where we're going you are to not ask questions until the last day correct?" Yori nod again "excellent anything you'd like to know about tomorrow's mission?"
the Japanese woman takes a moment to think "as of right now Dr. Director, no I do not..." Betty nod and sit back to relax "however I do want to ask about you if that's alright?" a brown eyebrow raise in question "what are you and Agent Du, I sense you two are something not normal, but at the same time normal...does that make sense?"
Betty laugh silently "perceptive, but yes according to the world we're something of fiction for 2000+ years now" Yori nod "Ronald sensed the same as well, but wasn't brave enough to ask...though I might have a part in that"
"yes I'm sure..." Yori smile fondly at her boyfriend's 'bravery' "I have also noticed the same of Possible-san abet at a more calm, tame level to your calculated and Agent Du's loyal, yet semi-feral level"
"that is because Kimberly unconsciously rid herself of that part and her human side took over"
"if it is okay with you, may I ask what are you?"
Betty's eye harden like black coal "the Possibles, Will and myself are Lycans or what you'd call werewolves"
a small gasp escape the kunoichi "this is amazing and disturbing"
"how so?"
"disturbing because I've only read of Lycans on scrolls at Yamanouchi and amazing because your kind was thought to have been exterminated over a thousand years ago by England, Germany and America"
Betty laugh "no I assure you, we are alive and thriving even when those particular countries attacked us, we allowed the young to flee each time"
"I suppose so I would've also want my lineage to stay alive and pass on the ways in which they were taught"
Betty nod "can I ask you something?" Yori blink "what are you exactly?"
"what do you mean?" the one-eyed woman just look at her and she sigh in defeat "how did you know?"
Betty smirk "after our first meeting your scent lingered for awhile, so I was able to identify it, but not place it, though it is familiar"
"I don't understand?"
"the particular scent you have...I've only smelled on another, but that is depended upon her mindset and control"
Yori ponder this for a few seconds "then that would mean..."
"exactly she is one of your descendants, you didn't come from the same bloodline, but the creature housed within her is one of you"
Yori smile "that is pleasing to hear, however the old ruler King Aragorn never once counted them as one of us, more than half disagreed with him, but because of Takuma's rebelliousness they had to concede with him that the vessels are indeed impure, because he lost instead of dying honorably however..." she sigh "it is a good and smart thing that even the once proud King had to concede with by the Elders, since we have been wanting to return to this dimension safely and to choose a warrior woman from the Duan clan was brilliant their honor has been told throughout time, although their pride and ego gets them into trouble from time to time"
Betty snicker then laugh outright "you're telling me, Princess Sanai is a handful and more times than I dare to count, she has dragged me along with her, but I can't say I didn't enjoy the ride"
Yori laugh with her "I can imagine...can I ask one more thing...how old are you?"
"only if I can ask the same" the kunoichi nod "well since you've agreed I am 116 years old still in my adolescent years according to Lycan standards"
Yori points to herself "and I am 308 my normal age, while this body is that of a 20 year old, but don't tell Run-kun I do not wish to break his heart and make him think this is all an act I do truly love him"
the one-eyed woman smile fondly "I understand how you feel, but don't worry I told you from the first time we met I wouldn't tell Ronald anything that would cause him to become upset with either of us"
Yori bow her head and Will poke his head in the doorway "I'm just about to take off Director ma'am" she nod and proceed to get some sleep, Yori decide to follow along not sure what they might have to deal with down the road.
(while Betty and Yori is talking)
Shego stretch out on the roof like a lazy cat 'I may get scolded by Ann, but to feel the sun on my body is all worth it' she cringe as a sharp pain shoot across her still healing abdomen "I'll be glad when they heal completely, the wounds around my leg is starting to itch something fierce"
"well that's good don't want them festering due to you disobeying orders"
Shego slowly turn around and smile sheepishly at her stepmother "what made you stop by?"
Cheyenne sigh "while I was rolling your father out onto the balcony, we smelled your scent, so I chose to come up and see how you were"
Shego scratch her ankle with her heel "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, but how's Dad?"
the brunette look at the rooftop dejectedly "only he can tell you, I can only go by what I see"
Shego scoff "I don't give a damn about sight, what does your other senses tell you?"
Cheyenne grunt "he doesn't have long and being that we can sense the weakest in a group I'm able to tell that much, I just don't know how long he has" she open her eyes in surprise and follow the green-skinned woman with her eyes "where are you going?"
"to see him" Cheyenne turn back to the busy town below as they work to rebuild after the battle, the other night, who is she to stop Shego from seeing her father.
Shego drop down beside her father, he look over at her with half-lidded eyes "Sanai!" he voice in surprise, the green woman's chest tighten at the sight of him and her mind goes blank, Acoose smile weakly and turn back to the trees and mountains again "how are you?" after a long drawn out time of silence he look over again to see no one there anymore with a heavy sigh he call Kira to his side, she kneel behind him "bring me Mato, Wei, Wes and the blond young man, she no and leave
the four young men arrive quickly "yes father?" Mato ask
"Sanai has run off...I need you...to bring her back" three nod
Ron however is unsure "excuse me sir...I was told not to leave the wall let alone the house"
Acoose turn the wheelchair around and smile at him "well being that I'm still leader of this territory I'm giving you permission to leave in order to help find my daughter, she's still injured, so she can't have gotten far"
Ron salute him "alright sir" they leave.
Kim yawn as she and the baby walk the halls, but stop walking when someone call her name and look behind her to see Monique running up to her, she smile "hey Monique"
the dark-skinned woman stop beside her "hey girl what's up"
Kim rub her baby boy's back "fussing and pacing the room wasn't enough for him I guess"
"oh...have you seen Sanai?"
Kim shake her head "I sort of just woke up...why?"
"the whole house is in chaos looking for her"
the redhead appear thoughtful "so that's why everyone's running around..." she shrug "got nothing to do with me"
chocolate eyes narrow "got not-...Kim when are you going to admit that you're remembering how much you love Sanai?"
Kim's brow furrow and a frown marr her still youthful face "I don't and never will love someone, who bit me before I was even old enough to tell her I like her too...who does that!" her son starts crying again, she bounce him in her arm and shush him softly, when she look at Monique again, she take a step back "why are you looking at like that?"
the sly smile remain on the fashion diva's face "no reason I'm going to help look for her" she walk off
Kim shake her head "that girl is a weird one"
"KP!"
olive eyes look up from the floor "hey Ron, what's with the ninja outfit the Ritual isn't until tomorrow"
"I know Mr. Acoose gave me a mission"
her eye widen "wow...doing what?"
"I have to find the woman that bit you"
Kim's eyes narrow and she frown again "why?"
the blond shrug "not sure, but it's the task he gave me"
"is it just you?"
"no I'm teaming up with the purple and red dudes"
a fiery red eyebrow raise "really..." she look down at her son, who's looking up at her "have fun" she start to walk away, but a hand on her shoulder stop her
"KP is...is everything alright?"
Kim sigh heavily "everything's fine Ron" she try to give him a convincing smile
the blond male make a face of non-believing "Kim..."
"Ron I know you don't have to say it and when I'm ready, you'll be the first to know... now I have to go he's getting fussy again"
coffee eyes look down at the squirming babe in her arms and smile "who'd a thought you'd be a mother so soon"
"it was a choice I was glad to make"
the blond lay a hand on the baby's stomach and when he does, his eyes glow blue and he snatch his hand away gasping "whoa..." he stare at his trembling hand trying to discern what he saw
"Ron!"
the blond almost jump out his skin "uh...yeah KP?"
"what happen you kinda tapped into your monkey kung fu...why?"
Ron grab his pants to hide his shaky hands "I don't know...uh...I have to go find that woman, bye KP!" he run off
Kim reach out to stop him, but retract her hand "that was even wierder" she look down into dull red eyes "do you know what happened?' he just blink sleepily and squirm more in her arms "didn't think so" she continue her walk again.
