I do not own any of the characters they belong to diseny.
Prodigal Daughter
Shego knock on the wall at the curtain's edge "come on in Shego" a nasally Kim answers which raise questions for the green-skinned woman, but she enters anyway and instantly regret it
"ugh man what are you feeding him?"
Kim laugh "milk, what else"
"are you sure it's just milk?" Shego ask nasally
"that's what me and Monique bought for him, he's too young for cereal Shego"
the pale skinned woman gag again "I'll ask you later"
Kim stop "ask me what?"
"nothing later" she hold up her hand, waving the redhead off
the baby start squirming again and Kim cover his front "I don't think so bud..." he just smile "hmm I wonder what Shego wanted?" she slowly uncover him again "just when you were about dressed" she get him clean and dressed again "alright lets go find out what Shego wants" he just look up at his new mother then close his eye when she cradle him close to her, the redhead step out the door only to jump back protecting her son from the mob of servants rushing around in the halls "what's going on?" she stand upright "excu...excus...excuse..." she sigh "lets just find Shego" she step in the mob and is bumped pushed and jostled all the while she's protecting her son
"excuse me...sorry...watch ou-"
"stop!" a voice command forcibly and every servant freeze including Kim "Pumpkin get over here" Shego calmly tell the redhead, who walk her way "alright the rest of you clear the way, so she can get through"
Kim look up to her "but I was coming to see you"
"oh...okay come on" Shego walk on and Kim follow behind her "back to work" the green-skinned woman command and the servants quickly obey "okay Pumpkin shoot, what do you want?"
"to know what you wanted to ask me"
Shego pause in er walking then continue "oh I wanted to ask if you would stand by me as I address a few changes in the territory"
a red eyebrow raise "should I be there?"
"no that's why I'm asking you"
"when are you going to address them, because, I have something I want to say well more like ask"
Shego hum to herself "okay I'm addressing them as soon as Betty's back"
"is that it?"
"no the territory is still vulnerable to attack due to Dad's death, so until our time of morning is up try staying inside the walls" she walk off, Kim watch her then leave for a walk nice fresh air will do them both some good she think as she look down at her son, but as she's enjoy her walk through town she can feel eyes on her and hear whispers all around her, she ignores it for the most part and continue with the day.
Shego stand atop the Mansion scowling "hey Sanai what's up?"
emerald eyes see Channing walking over to her "hey Chan how you doing?"
the platinum blond sit down beside her sister "still numb"
"I know how you feel"
"I can't believe he's gone, he was the strongest person I knew"
Shego's eyes widen then she look at her lap remembering the little girl never met their muscle headed, justice freak of an older brother just heard stories about him "I understand kiddo, but always know he'll never be gone..."
"because he'll always be here" Channing point at her heart
Shego smile and nod at her then is jerked forward by a small force "Tao Le what are you doing, we both could've fell off if I hadn't stop our momentum"
her cousin laugh "you would've been the only one hurt"
"and how in the hell did you come to that conclusion?"
"because I'm cute and I'm your favorite"
Shego pry the forever hyper blond off her person "I don't think so, besides I like Tyus better"
"what uncle Liang's son..." she pout "no fair"
Shego toss Tao Le over her head "life isn't fair, see ya" she disappear from her spot
"do you think Sanai is alright?"
Tao Le crawl over to her cousin "she's fine, but what I want to know is when will the fighting start?"
"is that all you think about...you're just like Xin Qian" Tao Le just shrug at the comment.
Shego walk through the shopping district looking for Kim and spot the redhead looking at some jewelry at a booth, what else she notice is the owner looking at Kim distastefully, then ignoring the redhead while he talk to another customer and even when he's done with the customer causing Shego to come over "hey excuse me"
"Princess how are you"
Shego wave him off "don't need your pathetic greeting, what's going on here?"
the male look confused "what do y-"
"TallSwoop don't play dumb and tell me what is going on?" she snarl the tall male tries to make himself small
Kim decide to step in "Shego wh-"
"Pumpkin don't try you little hero shtick with me the fool thought he could disrespect you and I want to know why" both females look at the male
"I didn-"
"TallSwoop don't lie I saw you"
Kim grab her shoulder "Shego calm down h-"
"Kim don't interfere right now"
the redhead look at her in horror "Shego?...to think I was starting to like you?"
Shego's eyes narrow as she look at Kim with a lees intense gaze "what?"
"n-nothing Shego I-I...I need to go"
they watch her walk off then emerald eyes look at TallSwoop again "next time I find out you treat her that way again I'll personally rip your eyes out your skull" she storm off.
Kim sit on her side of the clean room in disbelief of what she witnessed today by Shego and as of right now she doesn't feel like talking to the green-skinned woman "Kim...Kim?" the redhead walk over to the curtain's entrance and once it open she deck Shego right in her jaw, the plasma- wielder groan as she rub her cheek "damn Pumpkin you sure do pack a punch" she groan again
"Shego why did you treat...TallSwoop that way?"
Shego sit up and rest on her hands "because of the way he was treating you"
"what are you talking about?"
"are you that dense he was ignoring you and looking at you funny the same as everyone else!" the baby start crying, Kim groan in annoyance then walkover to her son and carefully pick him up and try calming him down, meanwhile Shego kip to her feet "didn't you sense their loathing against you, their hatred for you?"
Kim pause in consoling the fusing babe "maybe a little" Shego wants to ask her why she didn't stop it, but it seem like the wrong thing to say at the moment "but I didn't let it bother me"
Shego sigh "okay Princess" she leave the room rubbing her jaw
Kim kiss her son's head once he's sleep, lay him in the crib then follow the green woman out "Shego?" she stop, but doesn't face Kim "it's not that it didn't bother me I just didn't understand"
Shego look back at her slightly "understand...what didn't you understand?"
"why they resent me...what did I do?"
Shego finally face her "you might not like this, but it's because you have a son"
Kim's brow furrow and she becomes upset "because...be...what's that got to do with anything, he's not my flesh and blood I adopted him, so why?"
"Kim you have to understand our kind mate with one person for life, though a few have more than one mate, but that's how we're designed and when we chose, we chose them carefully, some are imprinted on, some are chosen due to personality traits, power, looks, status, skill and even smell, it's different for all, so when most who don't know the circumstance with you and the baby they look our treat you different than when you first arrived, they think they're helping me by getting rid of and unfaithful, gold digger without actually throwing you out the territory" Kim gasp "and because I know it's not true I became upset and since you wouldn't defend yourself I decided to do it for you"
Kim hug her "thank you..." she sniff some trying to hold back her tears "I hate this, I hate that I don't understand our language or how we do things, so thank you"
Shego slowly embrace her back "y-you're welcome Kim"
the redhead look up into her eyes then down at her lips and slowly lean forward, when their lips touch Kim feel a spark she never felt with the boys she'd kissed even when she put her all into it, so she decide to see if there might be more to the kiss, but Shego push away from her "Kim I can't continue this"
"why" Kim is nervous now, had Shego been lying to her this whole time, had she read wrong
"Kim trust me I'd love to share a heated kiss with you and more, but I won't do this now, not while you're in such a vulnerable state...okay" she pull her in to a hug "sorry Kimmie" Kim hug her back, upset she couldn't test it out more, well there will be other times.
(two days later)
Yori and Ron's first two days go off with out incident they enjoy the peace, but still remain on guard in case the fighters came around, although they may not have realized the fighters have been continuously stalking them and watch their every movement 'watch out blondie, Kira's here to win this bet' amethyst eyes narrow as a smirk spread across full lips
Ron tries to get his fire going before it gets too dark, but a howl echoing through the trees cause him to jump "who's out there?"
Kira shake her head 'does he have to yell?'
another howl this one closer, sets the blond male on edge even more, his hand goes to the pouch on his back "Razor do you smell anything?" he whisper, the mole rat pop his head out another pouch on his front and sniff around then shake his head Ron relax "I guess I'm just being paranoid for nothing, man these guys kn-" a twig snapping cut him off and he look around back on edge
Kira look down on him from a tree 'if he doesn't relax some he going to lose this bet' another howl then a scream.
Yori splash some water on her face 'they sure are drawing this out' a howl cause her to look around on her guard "Nina we may have company soon"
the naked mole rat poke her head out "wolf"
"yes these Lycans are proficient..." another howl "and enjoy psychological warfare" a rustle behind her cause her to look that way slightly "'we're too out in the open' conceal yourself my friend" Nina sink in her protective pouch while her owner grab her things and rush to her campsite, she look around when another howl goes off then jump on guard when she sees a blur to her right that disappears as soon as she stop, she then continue on for base only to dodge a pounce
she raise a kunai knife up in front of her as she hear a growl then a snarl, the Lycan charge at her, but instead of engaging in combat with it the Lycan pass her and run off, she remain on guard for a good minute and declare the attack as weird she walk the rest of the way to her camp in peace.
Ron groan as he wake up "damn what hit me?"
"me"
he open his eyes and notice his world is turned upside down "what the..."
"don't worry I'm not going to hurt you anymore, but I suggest you get down the bears and pumas sometimes feed at night" she walk off
"wait, wait aren't you going to help me down?" Kira turn her head slightly to look at him then laugh, Ron curse his luck then realized something "Razor...Razor" the mole rat chitters as he pop out his pouch and squeak in alarm, he scurry up his owner's leg and nibble on the rope until it breaks the blond flip in the air landing on he feet "aww man..." he scratch the back of his head "some first fight I need to up my game or I'm going to lose this bet" he look up at the branch
Kira walk into base camp 'GoldenEcho how'd it go?'
she grunt as she sit on one of the logs surrounding the fire "not much of a challenge"
a male laugh as he emerge form the woods "mine got a real spook out of my fake out performance" he pull on his shirt "her face was priceless" three of them have a good laugh
Kira toss a stick into the fire "I'm going to bed, night"
they watch her "what's her problem?" the others shrug.
Kim pick herself off the floor "are you okay Kimberly?"
the redhead nod "I've just never gone up against anyone besides my Nana that was this good"
Cheyenne smile "well Daphne Possible was an excellent combat technician before she left long ago"
Kim is surprised by this news, so surprised that she nearly miss being kicked in the neck "you know my Nana?"
the brunette grunt "for a few years, yes, before she was pregnant with your Uncle Slim, the Possibles have always been involved with the Goshin family for centuries even before the Great War"
Kim back-flip from another kick aimed at her head, she's happy for the history lesson, but it could be better if they weren't fighting, Shego, Xin Qian and Tao Le watch the match from the sidelines "Kim is really good" the youngest comment
"whoa Kimmie's flexible" the women spectators turn to the entrance to see the match heads looking at the fight, obviously for different reasons, Shego secure the baby in her arm then send a small ball of plasma at her brothers who yelp as they block it while glaring at her, she just smirk as she turn back to the fight, just in time to see Kim pin Cheyenne on the ground
the brunette tap out and Kim help her up "very good Kimberly I knew you could do it"
Kim chuckle tiredly "I almost lost, you're really good"
"but you pulled through"
"and looked damn sexy doing it too"
Kim blush from the green-skinned woman's comment "thank you Shego" she grab her sleeping son "it's your turn right?"
emerald eyes look to a closed eyed Xin Qian then smirk at the redhead "whenever the old bat is ready, but we'll need a more wider field" she walk out the gym followed by Kim and Cheyenne
"so what now?"
Xin Qian open her rust colored eyes "we wait"
a blond eyebrow raise "wait for what?"
"you'll see."
Shego stop and look at her hands "Sanai?" emerald eyes look over at her stepmother and Kim "is everything alright?" she look at her hands again then nod
"yeah, yeah everything's fine" she continue walking
"I'm not so sure"
olive and onyx eyes turn to amethyst ones "what do you mean?"
Mego walk over to Kim and look down at the infant "you'll see...may I?" he hold out his hands, Kim pass him her son, who fuss a little from his nap being disturb, but after squirming some in Mego's arms he fall back to sleep
"see what exactly?"
Mego look at his stepmother "didn't you sense the change in Sanai?"
Cheyenne take a moment to think "maybe a little, why?"
he smirk "like I said you'll see."
Shego does a few katas on the roof until a surprise kick sends her flying off of it then plummeting to the ground, she get to her feet coughing and rubbing her lower back and neck "what the hell" a figure drop down beside her, she look over and scowl deeply "Mommy" she growl
Xin Qian disappear and sweep her feet out from under her, she drop down on all fours then dodge a drop kick aimed at her head "wait...whoa...hold on" rust colored smoke form around Xin Qian's forearm and hand then her hand burst into flames, Shego watch in shock hoping her mother doesn't plan on putting that hand directly on her
she scramble to her feet quickly just as a ball of flames scorch the ground where she once was 'too close'
'you're telling me'
Shego pause 'Xing?'
'hey greenie long time no hear'
Shego barely dodge an axle kick to her shoulder 'I thought I sensed you earlier'
'yeah the Queen gave the okay since you're moving around fine' Shego cry out from the double kick to her back 'pay attention'
Shego grunt in pain 'fuck you' she glare heatedly at her mother, who's still silent even as she walk around her
"Shego?"
emerald eyes look to the redhead rushing over to her "K...Ki...Kim stay there!"
"but..."
"I mean it!" Kim does as told and the beating continue, Xin Qian kick her daughter in the stomach making the green-skinned woman puke a little and groan "ugh that's nasty" Xin Qian kick her again this time to her ribs knocking the air out of her, he ears pick up Kim calling her again she look up at her redhead even as her vision blurs, she try sucking in some air just enough to tell Kim to stay, but Xin Qian grab her by her neck and raise her up in the air til she's resting just on the tip of her toes
"it's a shame Sanai, you've lost it, figures you wouldn't be fit to follow in your father's footsteps..." she place Shego back on her feet with her hand still around her neck, she then lean close her ear "if only you were the one that die that day and not Haki...I. blame. you. for. everything!" she snarl and slam Shego head first into the ground then kick her again sending her skipping five feet then rolling another two feet
Shego struggle to her hands and knees coughing up blood violently as hot tears stream down her face "you...you re-...you really believe that?" she stifle a sob hoping that it isn't true even though it's something she's always believed
Xin Qian stalk over to her in fear Shego try crab walking away, but callous, cold and unforgiving hands grab a fist full of hair and force her head back, the plasma-wielder claw at her mother's fingers even when Xin Qian's face get close to hers "yes I do and I always have" she then slap her rapidly over and over again then end it with an uppercut making Shego's teeth click together, Xin Qian grab her ankle and throw her towards the Mansion.
Kim cover her son from flying debris from Shego's impact to the stairs, Xin Qian sigh in disappointment "to think you are my daughter...pathetic, a goddamn disgrace!"
Shego sit up in the crater her body created on impact coughing up more blood "Shego?"
"Pumpkin..." she cough "don't"
Kim close her mouth then groan in annoyance and kneel beside her "Shego why a-..." everything cut off as Xin Qian grab Kim in a head lock with one arm while holding the now scared and wailing infant still in his ling in her other hand "Sanai told you to stay away, she didn't intrude on your fight, so why did you on hers?" Kim grunt as she try to loosen her captor's hold and get to her son, whose screaming his little heart out "what do you say Sanai, I destroy something you hold dear just like you did for me, huh?" she sneer "besides you're broken now, there's no fight left in you anymore and I've gotten tired of beating on a useless piece of shit" Xin Qian raise the sling up for her daughter to see she means business
Shego watch in pure shock and horror "no" she breathe
Xin Qian chuckle "is that it...you're not going to even try to save him, he's calling for you" she scoff "some mother you would've been" rust eyes look at the sling "well if you're not going to save him and he's getting pretty annoying I'll just end his life now then you can watch as I do the same with Kim"
Xin Qian toss the sling and the wailing infant into the air and for Shego everything slows down as she watch in horror even Kim's scream slows and distort, but still ring great in her ears, she can see the flames form around her mother's hand aimed straight at the infant, her chest tighten and her pupils constrict as the flames fly from Xin Qian's hand and everything returns to normal, Kim look away in horror as the ashes fall the ground, the pack who can to watch the often scared fight also look away or gasp over the atrocity of the situation, Xin Qian let Kim go and sigh in utter and bitter disappointment of her daughter's now dwindled level.
"Mommy!" an unearthly voice snarl out to the other sable-haired woman, all eyes turn to the space across from Xin Qian and Kim where the infant was scorched to ashes and what they see completely astound them, Shego is standing there with blood red smoke surrounding her body with her eyes glowing a bright green and trained on the other sable-haired woman and in her arm is the very much alive and unharmed baby boy still wailing in fear, Kim cry in great joy to see that her son is alright while the pack cheer their future leader's name, who growl at her mother "you threaten my mate and my son then try to kill him...that is unforgivable!" she roar in pure unadulterated rage
Xin Qian smirk unafraid of her daughter's new found strength she start smoking a dark rusty color "what are you going to do about it...huh?" her voice becomes unearthly and multiplied as her eyes glow as well
Shego's eyes narrow "Kim..." the redhead's own eyes widen from the multi-voice the plasma-wielder is using "come here" Kim slowly make her way over to the smoky woman who hands over the infant with a non-smoky arm "get up there with Chey and Le and don't interfere again" she take a daring look down into Kim's olive eyes as the redhead stare in awe of hers then smile and rush for the porch to frantically inspect her still wailing son and try consoling him.
Xin Qian disappear and reappear with her fist reared back, but instead of hitting Shego, the green-skinned woman drop down on her hands with her knees to her chest and as soon as her mother reappears she double kick Xin Qian in the chest and in the same motion follow her mother and stand over her with her hands engulfed with plasma the is infused with her dragon element lightning, while the plasma crackle and pop she stare down at her mother with tears falling down her face and a fierce look in her glowing green eyes "Shego...don't!" the pale woman turn her threatening gaze up to Kim then lessen its intensity and let her hands fizzle out
as soon as Shego's plasma and gaze is gone Xin Qian raise her legs wrap them around her daughter's waist then turn to the side reversing their position "any last words you worthless bitch?" she hiss while raising her hand with flames engulfing her hand all the way up to her elbow
Shego glare up at her "to say to you...no" she grab her mother's leg
Xin Qian back flip off her daughter rubbing her twitching thigh "you have to do better than that" Shego get back to her feet that's when she rush at her and try kneeing her in the face, but Shego block, so Xin Qian use the extra momentum to punch her in the ribs, but it's also blocked, Shego grip the clenched fist, wrap her arm around her mother's knee, pull her own leg back, let the older sable-haired woman go and kick kick her mother in the air then bunch the muscles in her legs and jump after her
Shego punch her mother in the back, she grab her arm to pull her down some then grab Xin Qian's face, use her bod as leverage to flip and stand on Xin Qian's torso as they plummet to earth and slam with the force of a freight train, as the dust clear the spectators spot a lone figure standing on the edge of the crater and when it finally settle they can see it's Shego and cheer, the green woman glare at the motionless body laying in the center then fall to her knees relived that it is all over, Kim is the first to get close to the plasma-wielder "Shego?"
tired emerald eyes look up at her "hey Kimmie" the redhead kneel beside her and Shego lay a hand on the now sleeping infant's head smiling down at him and that's when Kim raise her head back up and kiss the green-skinned woman, whose surprised, but return it all the same, until it's interrupted by a cough from the crater then a weak call for Shego as Xin Qian sit up, Shego growl "look I don-"
Xin Qian embrace her daughter "just listen and believe me...I'm sorry Sanai, I'm Sorry I said those hurtful things, I'm sorry I pushed you and your brothers away..." she pull back and look into shocked emerald eyes "and if Haki was here he'd be so glad and proud of your growth and accomplishment just like I am...I love you Sanai, my daughter" Shego is speechless "you hear me I'm proud of you"
pale-green arms slowly embrace her mother again "I-I-I love you too Mommy and...I've missed you I'm sorry too...so very sorry" she cry on Xin Qian's shoulder while keeping her face hidden by her mother's hair
the older sable smile "I know Sanai I know"
Kim smile at the site along with the Alpha family and the pack, Shego sniff and pull away to smile at her mother, but ends up being jumped on and pinched by Tao Le "aww you said the s-word...someone's grown up" the crowd surrounding them laugh
Shego scowl deeply and pull her hyper cousin into a head lock "you annoying brat!"
