I do not own any of the characters they belong to diseny.

Prodigal Daughter

Emerald eyes look to the sky 'it's going to rain' Shego huff and look the way she came 'three dogs and a human...figures Dad would send a search party' green tipped ears stand up in alert mode 'something else is out here' she growl low in her throat and sniff the air for the mystery 'thing' she then crouch and jump into a tree for a good vantage point 'where are you?' her eyes search the trees and ground while her ears twitch around for any sounds, but she doesn't see, smell or hear anything 'what the hell is going on?'

'what do you think you're doing?'

Shego quickly turn around coming snout to snout with a fiery, red Lycan she snort and jump out the tree 'Princess what are you doing here?'

the red Lycan jump down with her and look over at an eight feet tall Shego, whose pelt is black with pale green fur on the bottom of her tail and he tip of her ears, from the base of her jaw to the base of her tail it's lined with pale green scales that shine red when the sun hit them just right, her regular whiskers are replaced with dragon ones and her eyes are dragonized with yellow where the whites should be and her iris along with her pupils are narrow slits, for a minute Kim is in awe, but shake it off 'to get you, so what were you thinking, Mom hasn't said you could move out of bed yet?'

emerald slits look away 'what do you care?'

Kim take a step towards her 'I don't know how to say this, but I do care or at least I'm starting to'

'you're starting to...' she snort 'don't try humoring me Possible I'm not in the mood' she glare at her slightly

Kim sit up close to her 'Shego...I'm only trying to get you to come back home' the dual colored Lycan snort again and walk off 'Shego...Shego...Shego stop we have to go back'

'you can go on ahead without me, I'll be back later' Kim run up to her and pounce on her back, Shego shake the red Lycan off and swing her paw around to hit her, but stop 'get away from me Kim, I said I'm not in the mood'

the other Lycan's eye widen and her tail wag 'you called me Kim'

Shego look away 'yeah so what?'

'I-I...I liked it'

emerald slits look at her 'well Kim can you not follow me while I think?'

Kim look up at the trees 'how about this if you beat me in a fight I'll let you go in peace, but if you don't you have to go back with me no questions ask'

Shego glare at her questioning her insanity 'you do realize I beat you last time'

'I don't think so you hesitated last time giving me a chance to kick you off me' she state with a duh kind of tone and her tail wagging faster telling Shego she's teasing her to get her annoyed and it's only slightly working since the happy jester is cute the dual Lycan shake out her pelt then one eye squint in pain Kim's eyes catch blood sliding down her scales 'uh...maybe we shouldn't fight...how ab-'

'no!' Shego growl then bow her head in pain, she needs to know if she can still fight despite the pain shooting through her body

'really o-' Kim yelp as the other Lycan tackle her to the ground

'I said 'no' Pumpkin' Shego snarl and raise her paw

Kim watch in shock then kick her off and get to feet just as Shego is charging at her, she dodge then pounce on her again and bite the back of her neck 'I win!'

'don't think so'

Kim yelp and quickly get off the dual colored Lycan 'what was that!'

Shego pounce on top of her 'what do you think it was...now it looks like I win, so unless you want me to do it again I suggest you leave me alone' she walk off again, Kim roll to her stomach and watch her for a while, then curse herself and follow behind her, they walk in silence until Shego gets annoyed 'Princess I said leave me alone, what part of that didn't you understand?'

'I heard you the first two times, but Mom and Director will have my head if I return without you'

Shego stop 'I don't need you here, plus I thought you hate me?'

Kim shrug 'I did...' she trot up to Shego's side 'so can we go back?'

the green and black Lycan look at her then huff 'Princess tell me something is this your first fazing?'

'yeah, well more like my third'

'I meant in your twenty plus years on this earth?'

Kim is confused 'twenty plus...Shego I'm only twenty'

Shego groan 'Princess when we hit our teen years our age progression starts to slow down, like me look twenty-seven, but I'm really 103' Kim's jaw drop 'and since this is your first faze we better get you home now'

'how come?'

'it should be starting soon' Shego state then walk on ahead

Kim bound after her 'what's starting soon?'

'your first mating stage'

'my what?'

Shego stop again and sit down, Kim sit in front of her 'every Lycan goes through a series of mating stages which start a little while after their very first faze and more happen on the same date and it varies from different individuals on how long it lasts and females have to be extra careful, because once a male gets a whiff of your heat the hunt is on, fights break out, some are injured and some die and sometimes if you're not careful even around your own brothers, the males will rape you...it's vicious cycle, lucky for you I've bitten you therefore claiming you as my own, but that doesn't mean some male isn't going to try and claim you for himself...so we need to get you home' she start walking again and Kim follow trying to stick to Shego as close as possible

'Shego is that really true or did you just tell me that to get me to go home?'

emerald slits roll 'Pumpkin if you don't believe me then ask your Mom she can tell you it's true, we've all seen the horrors of the mating stages it's brutal'

Kim remain silent for awhile until she has a question 'hey Shego can I ask you a question?'

'besides that one'

the red Lycan snort 'no seriously...why did you choose me, I'm not really anybody special?'

Shego stop instantly she knew that question was going to pop up some time, but not like this, she sit down again 'I was eight and when I met you, you were just a few months old at first I only detected and slowed down a progressing, unknown illness, but when I looked into your eyes I don't know how it happened, but we connected before I passed out and they took you away, the second time I saw you, you told me how you felt I didn't know how to respond to that so I didn't, then the final time saw you I told you which was also the day I bit you, but at first the bite was to only safe your life, that was it that was all, I was sharing a part of Xing's power with you, but it was later on in life when I found out what the bite also signified, that I was claiming you for myself'

Kim is speechless for a minute then she sit down in front of Shego again 'so I told you first?'

amusement shine in Shego's emerald eyes 'yeah, you think I'm lying?' she get up and walk around Kim 'why would I lie about something that change my life?'

the red Lycan watch her with narrow, amused eyes of her own 'I don't know you just seem like the type to tease or humiliate a person or try humoring them with information like this'

Shego pause and her tail swish back and forth as it bristle out and she think on that little tidbit 'so very true, good observation Pumpkin, I could be doing all of that, but...' she lean close to Kim causing her to tense 'I'm not doing any of that...I'm telling the truth' she back up then pass the red Lycan while brushing her tail on her teasingly 'lets get you back home Pumpkin'

Kim shake her head to dispel the hypnotic feeling Shego put her in 'no'

Shego trip a little and look at her 'no?...Pumpkin I told you it is dangerous for you out here'

'yeah...' she circle Shego this time and rub up against her at the same time 'but I'm also protected by your bite'

'even if you are, males will still try you and plus you have responsibilities back home'

Kim bump her and rub her nuzzle on her neck 'trying to get rid of me now'

it's Shego's turn to tense, but she plays it cool 'like I said you have responsibilities back home' they lock eyes, but Shego soon end up on top of Kim as something crash behind her, both look over at the dust cloud

'what was that?'

'a corpse as soon as I'm done with it, especially if they were trying to jump me'

as the dust start to settle their ears twitch as they pick up coughing "aw man that did not go as planned"

Kim nudge Shego off her and walk up to the mystery thing wagging her tail 'Ron you left before I did how did you get here after me?'

the blond grin up at her "I don't know KP honestly, me and the three colored dudes split up to cover more ground" he jerk in shock

green and chocolate eyes look up to the sky 'come on kiddies lets get home' Shego trot off towards the inner territory, the best friends look at each other then follow on the way Shego make some yip/barking sounds, few minutes later they're joined by the two red and black Lycans that bound up to their sister, playfully pouncing on and bumping against her like hyper pups, she swat at them just as playful, later the purple and black Lycan trot over to them he bump his sister, who just look him

"they're close aren't they?"

'who knows, but I heard Yori's suppose to be coming today'

Ron look at his best friend "really?" that's all he needs to here, he sprint for the inner territory

the siblings along with Kim stop and the siblings look to Kim 'uh...his girlfriend is coming' they shake their heads chuckling internally then continue on.

Betty, Will and Yori stand before the gate "who's down there?"

"Elizabeth, Will and the other participant" the gate open and the three walk on to the Mansion where Cheyenne meets them with her daughter and niece, the two GJ agents bow at the waist to them, Yori follow suit "afternoon my Lady and Princess how are you?" both mother and daughter answer the same

"hey Betty!" the one-eyed woman chuckle at Tao Le's hyperness

"Elizabeth who is this?"

Betty return to an upright position "the other human to participate in the Ritual"

Cheyenne walk down the remaining stairs up to Yori, who also return to an upright position while the leader brunette circle her, Cheyenne pause to the side of her then continue with her examination and when they're face to face she smile at the younger woman "when you enter and fight your opponents, don't kill them or injure them too much"

Yori bow again "it'll be my honor to honor your request"

"I'm sure it will...Elizabeth..." she pause and all eyes turn to the wall as they hear a scream, Betty and Will groan, while Yori, Tao Le and Channing have a good laugh even when the blond male finally stumble over to them then fall flat on his face

Yori kneel in front of him "Ron-kun are you alright

the blond look up at her with tired eyes and a dopey smile "just fine babe" he give her a weak thumbs up "just wanted to get here fast enough to see you in and if you ever try jumping the wall, watch out that last step is a doosy"

Yori giggle "I'll keep that in mind"

Nina pop her head out of her owner's pocket, she look down at her brother's owner and shake her head "Razor...Razor"

the male mole rat scurry across Ron's back, who laugh "present" Nina chitters angrily at her brother, who chitters back until a raindrop hit him on the head, he shake and everyone look up as the clouds drop their water load onto the small community below

"lets get inside everyone" Cheyenne command while leading the way, Yori help her boyfriend up and they follow behind Betty and Will "Ronald show Yori to your room, so that she can get dry and prepare for dinner..." she command gently being that the blond isn't one of her own then eye Yori "I hope you find our accommodations suitable" Ron find the statement strange, but decides not to acknowledge it

Yori smile and nod "I'm sure I will ma'am"

Cheyenne nod back "until dinner..." the couple separate from the rest of the group, along with the two girls, who leave to find Nikiti "Elizabeth..."

"yes ma'am...I've only just found out myself before we came here, she's Sanai and Mistress Xin Qian's spirit ancestor

the dark-haired brunette hum to herself "interesting" the doors to the Alpha's chambers burst open and Kira comes out preparing to run, but stop while pointing into the chambers, Cheyenne lay a calm hand on her shoulder "Ki-Ki-Kira calm down and take your time" the blond sigh, but end up hyperventilating while pointing again

Betty sigh "this is getting us nowhere" she walk over to the entrance and stare incredulously at the scene in front of her

Will follow behind her then grab Kira by her shoulders to lead her away from the door "my Lady you should go inside I'll handle Kira"

Cheyenne watch them walk over to the adjacent wall then walk in the room to see what the problem is and nearly faint, but Betty holds her upright and help her walk to the bed and as soon as Cheyenne reach the foot of the bed she fall to her knees in disbelief while crying 'no' over and over again, she grip the covers tightly and scream out her despair, Betty rub her back soothingly, trying to keep her own self together.

In the mist of the downpour Shego stop so does her siblings and Kim 'Sanai i-' she shush one of the Wegos

'San-'

'I said shut up' she order and the other four just stare at her then jump back as she zip off for the inner territory

'whoa what's going on?' Kim ask

'don't know, come on!' Wes chase after his sister the other three share looks then follow, Shego clear the wall quickly and easily then jump on a house and continue racing to the Mansion atop the houses and businesses, the other four jump off the walkway then all, but one continue on the ground 'Sanai what's the rush?'

the green and black Lycan ignores the question and continue running, she leap off a house and bolt through the open doors, she doesn't stop to shake off the water like the rest and skid to a halt, panting hard while dripping water and blood on the floor, she star into the room looking from Betty and Cheyenne to her mother then her father, who is paler than before and clearly not breathing like her stepmother she chant 'no' over and over, while slowly making her way towards her father's bedside

the other four see Will and Kira off to the side and the blond is clearly crying, they continue walking to the door's opening, but Kim is stopped by her mother "Kimmie it'll be best if you don't go in there"

Kim look to the door then her mother 'why, what's going on?'

Ann bow her head "it's Acoose, he's...he's passed"

the fiery red Lycan's eyes widen in shock 'no'

the older redhead nod "it's true I checked myself and called it" red ears lay flat against her skull and she whimper some then leave to go check on her son.

Shego sit beside her mother, who look at her with a river of tears streaming down her face, she wrap her arms around her daughter's neck ignoring the razor sharp scales "Sanai...Sanai..." she start crying again

Shego stare at her father's lifeless form then bow her head 'Mommy...I'm sor-sor-sor'

Xin Qian look up into her daughter's emerald eyes then get to her feet scowling deeply "sorry...you're sorry?" she growl and kick Shego across the room

the dual colored Lycan get to her feet 'what do you want from me...huh?'

"for you to be here before he died...where were you, huh?"

Shego growl in anger and her eyes narrow 'for days I've been trying and trying to get in here to see him...' she turn away in shame, which is a rarity for her 'and when I do I run...run away like a scared little kid, but...' she look at her mother again 'at least I did see him, however, brief it was'

Xin Qian sigh "go get cleaned up, you're staining the floor"

Shego look down and notice a pool of watery blood, she huff 'I ca-'

"Sanai we don't need you passing out from blood loss right now"

Betty step over to them "she's right the territory's vulnerable right now" Shego give them an annoyed growl then walk out the room with Betty following behind while Xin Qian walk over to Cheyenne and decide to get her focused enough to help prepare Acoose for his final resting place.
