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

Prodigal Daughter

Ron dodge a pounce by the hairs on his chinny-chin-chin, grab his stick and swing it at the five foot and a half Lycan, who jump back then grab the other end of the stick, trying to tear it out Ron's hands, but the blond has a good grip on it "Razor"

the mole rat scurry down his arm and across the stick bridge and stand on the big wolf's head, he open his mouth to chomp down on the black skull, but he's knocked off by a paw and land a small distance away "Raz are you alright?" the mole rat chatters and fall back down chocolate eyes land on the Lycan "sorry Dakota, but you're not getting me that easily...not like last time"

the black Lycan snort 'aww and here I thought you had fun' Ron twist the stick causing him to let go and hack up splinters and bark then yelp as he's hit with the thick branch 'you damn human!' he snarl, jump the swing then onto Ron 'I oughta tear you're face off!' that's when Razor scamper up Dakota's back and clamp down hard

Dakota yelp trying to shake off the rodent, he flop on his back, rolling and wiggling to no avail Razor has a good hold on him "good job Razor try and hold him" Ron raise his stick up wanting to go through the action of pummeling Dakota like a pinata, but the Lycan isn't having that and even thought the mole rat is gnawing on his back, he's going to get the human first

he roll to his stomach, launch at Ron and bite him right on his leg "ahh shit!" the blond scream in pain, he hit Dakota on his snout a couple of times making him let go then run for base to tend to his own injuries after Razor finally let go, the mole rat run up to his owner and friend chattering frantically, Ron groan in pain "I-I'm fine...just...need to...stop...the bleeding" he pull off his undershirt and tie it around his leg "good thing...he wasn't...a...vampire...huh?"

Razor nod, satisfied with the temporary bandage Ron use that stick to get to his feet and limp to the campsite to clean and better dress his new and only major wound "I wonder how the girls are doing?"

Nina chatters away in her owner's ear, a finger cover her mouth "I know Nina-san, I've heard them already...hold on" Yori strip down to nothing, but her undergarments

a blond and red Lycan stand outside the cave that their prey is in, the red Lycan nod to the other and the blond stalk forward 'careful Aponi, I heard from Loic she's a special human'

Aponi snort 'don't worry Jagger, she's cornered with no escape'

'obviously you've misread what 'special' means somewhere'

'she's just a human Jag wh...' her words are cut off as she slam into the cavern wall, Jagger start sniffing form the human he knows that did this, but not sensing her, he quickly start panicking, unlike his brother Dakota, he's just a rookie to this whole attack squad thing, his big brother volunteered him, without seeing if he wants to do it, so instead of staying to fight he turn and bolt for base

Yori emerge off the rock face to eye her first opponent then watch the tail end of the red male 'hmm what happened?'

Aponi groan, so Yori retreat back again the blond stand up on shaky legs 'whoa Jag did you get the license of that semi?' once she's up on sturdy legs, she notice the scent of her partner is fading 'Jagger...Jagger' she sniff for him 'oh Dakota's going to kill me if something happens to him'

"if you're looking for your friend, he ran off"

Aponi look towards the cave entrance to see Yori standing there with her hands clasp behind her back, she growl 'you lie, Jag would ne-'

"if he wasn't ready to fight, why put him up against us it seems pointless to me?"

the blond Lycan charge 'who cares what you think, you lying, cheating human!'

the kunoichi step to the side and let the heated female run into the tree behind her, Aponi stumble and sit down trying to stop the world from spinning, but after a solid kick from Yori, she's out like a light "that's the second lost and second seriously injured due to Lycan ego" she sigh "Nina looks like I'll have to take this one to her campsite for help"

the naked mole rat snicker and earn a tap on her head "no you must not laugh at a defeated opponent or feel sorry for them, but praise their effort in combat" she kneel and place a hand on Aponi's prone form and they seem to melt into the ground then resurface in the mist of the fighters, who stare in shock and awe "your friend hit her head and sort of knocked herself for...how you say 'spin'?"

Kira laugh "close the word is 'loop' and how did you find this place?" Yori just give her a knowing smile before disappearing as before

"what the...how did she do that?"

"is she really human?" Kira heft the front half of Aponi on her back and begin dragging her towards her tent

"hey didn't Jagger leave with her?" one male ask while pointing in Aponi and Kira's direction

"yeah where is the little noob" a female ask and they suddenly spot him running full speed out the forest and towards the campsite

"hey noob..." another male tackle him "where were you when Aponi was dealing with the female human?" Jagger just struggle underneath him with large frightening peach colored eyes, so he thump him on his nose the wake him up "I asked why weren't in line to get your pummeling too?"

Jagger instantly stop moving and cover his now sore nose, whimpering 'I-I-I...I panicked...I never wanted to do this in the first place!' he howl as if he's in pain

"so you let my mate take your licks for you" he seem amused, but underneath it all his blood is boiling how dare the little peon run he'll show him, Jagger whimper some more hoping the male is going to hit him again and his plea is answered

"Knoton leave him alone he's just a newbie and Dakota will skin you alive if he finds out you're tormenting his little brother"

"fuck him and Dakota..." he rare his fist back and send it down to Jagger's snout, scared Jagger start whimpering louder which turn into yelps as he tries to get away, but instead of getting hit Knoton get off him "not even worth it...he should've been hit not Aponi" he kick some dirt into his face then walk into the tent

Kira squat down beside the prone red Lycan "you're going to be alright...right?"

Jagger transform into his thirteen year old human form "yeah I'll be fine" he twitch and rub his nose softly

Kira muss his short, curly hair "alright kid, rest up for the day since you're going with me for the late night attack" she head off to bed herself

Jagger watch her go "don't even think about it pup, that's one female that won't give you the time of day"

Jagger look away "I wasn't thinking about that...I was admiri-"

"how she look in those shorts..." the male laugh "that's one female that is mated to the job that's her only focus and she wouldn't take a weakling like you even if she was looking"

"I'm not a weakling it's just my first time doing this"

his sudden companion sit beside him "it's not different than when you where the one participating, now you're just deciding for yourself when the attacks will be made"

Jagger nod the more experienced male has a point "so why haven't you gone out yet Vian"

"I rather watch you younger generation compete I've had my share" he tell him with another laugh

Jagger look at the ground "so until my next turn can you help me?"

Vian sigh heavily "I've given you all you need to know..." Jagger look at him with pleading peach eyes "I guess I'll help you out a bit" he get to his feet "come with me" they head into the forest.

Shego, Mego, Betty, Xin Qian, Cheyenne, Will and Kim all sit or stand in the war room underneath the Mansion with Cloud across from them sitting in a chair "alright BrittleCloud, I'm tired and annoyed, you've arranged this meeting, so spill"

steel eyes look at all them "umm...well...Alpha CloverRaven...I only wished to speak with you only...alone"

Shego sit back crossing her legs if she had her file she'd be filing her nails, but if the male made her angry it would only be a projectile heading straight for his head "I understand, but I rather they be here"

Cloud sigh ha can't do anything about it, but spill everything he knows about the impending attack coming this way "after BlizzardPelt's failed attempt to take control of the territory...again, I saw and met with Koyla..."

Shego's plasma flare and the arm resters creak and crack under her grip, all eyes look from her plasma engulfed hands to her slightly glowing emerald green eyes, Kim quickly rub Shego's back causing the progressively enraged woman to slowly return to a somewhat placid yet irritated state, she sigh "continue"

"we begin to plan ways to take over the territory using the vampire's help..." there's a mix of light gasps and short grunts "and if they succeeded in the plan Koyla would get...you Madam, as payment for what happened several decades ago and it wasn't just me and Koyla, the master mind behind the plan is..." his mouth starts to go dry

"who is the mastermind Cloud?" Cheyenne speak up this time

his mouth once again moistened, he clear his throat "it's..." he swallow trying to wet his suddenly dry mouth again

"you, Koyla and who, BrittleCloud?"

steely eyes look to the floor "Koyla, myself and..." he swallow again

Shego snarl "don't say that damned, fucking name again or I'll..." Kim just place a hand on her back and she sigh heavily "who is the other person that was with you?" she ask through clenched teeth

Cloud relax again decide to rush the name out "the other person is Ja-" his body tense and he fall forward as bones start cracking, he began foaming at the mouth while making gagging and gurgling noises, then his suffering end and he just lay there

Will step forward to check his pulse, bow his head and declare "he's dead"

"FUCK!" Shego's chair is chucked across the war room and disintegrate into slag before it even hit the wall, thin tendrils of smoke rise off her body "how the fu...what the hell!" she snarl, storm over to Cloud's lifeless form, grab his shirt and rise up to her eye level then place her forehead to his trying to catch his last thoughts before his brain dies, but whoever did this to him obviously used something else to cover their tracks, because she's blocked from accessing, he gently lay him back on the ground and storm off.

Kim look at the others still in the room with a dazed look in her leaf colored eyes "what just happened?" that is too much and if nobody can tell her what she just saw she might lose it, not like Shego, but it'll be probably just as bad

"well Kimberly in case you missed i-"

"I know that Ms. Xin, I meant how?"

the sable haired female smirk reminding Kim of how much she and Shego are alike "if you'd have let me finished I would've told you"

the redhead smile sheepishly with a light blush gracing her cheeks "uh...sorry I thoug-"

Xin Qian wave her off "think nothing of it, I know you're not a dumb person, it just would've been better, but anyway BrittleCloud died due to a spell place on or ingested in him, by whoever didn't want to be found out just yet" Kim is confused did this woman just say 'spell' aren't they just things of fantasy, but Dragons are too, so this isn't too far fetch

"the spell is your basic class A spell it cause the cursed one to not speak on anything the curser doesn't want revealed, whether it be a name or a plan, as you can see it's quite effective and a mostly undetectable thing, so the traitors can be found out"

Kim look at Cloud and pull her knees to her chest 'disturbing' just as she's about to shut herself off from the world, something dons on her and she rush out the war room "those two sure are... spontaneous"

Betty chuckle "you're just now noticing that Master Mato?"

he roll his amethyst eyes "keyword Bets...Mego" his mothers chuckle at that

"narcissistic punk" Mego approve of the insult and take it as a comment.

Shego stop pacing to look at Kim "what Kim?"

the redhead pause Shego's usually playful tone and need to call her anything, but her name is gone, she shake her head and stroll up to the plasma-wielder "are you going to be alright?"

Shego groan "I don't know...I didn't really know Brittle, but..."

"you didn't know Sanai, no one could've..." she place a loving hand on her face and Shego lean into the touch then grab her wrist and kiss her palm, the redhead blush a very red shade at the simple display of affection, she then clear her throat "so what to tell me what this sitch is all about?"

Shego let her go and laugh "sitch?"

"you know situation...'sitch'"

emerald eyes roll "whatever you say, but I don't feel talking about it, maybe some other time...we need tell Brittle's parents, then bury him and whatever you want to do after"

Kim ponder this, her natural 'Kimness' is begging to know what went on several decades between Shego and this Koyla, but it'll have to wait she want to test out something "how about a classic?"

a sable eyebrow raise "dinner and a movie..." her Princess is full of surprises today "not a bad idea, you'll just have to talk it over with Monique, oh...and wear a helmet" Kim look at her like a cute, confused pup which cause her to rub the top of her fiery red mane "you'll be fine, but as for me, I need to...NOT be there" she kiss Kim's cheek then turn to leave

"wait why me?"

"she might not be as mad if you ask her to watch Kaison tonight, if she has something already planned..." she walk out the room adjacent to the war room "but given the reason she won't mind" her voice travel back to the redhead

"but what if..." Kim sigh "why me?...because I fell for her" she groan "great now I'm talking to myself" she shake her head "what next...the nuthouse for ex-heroes" she walk out to the lift, then down the hall to the clean room, she wait to get blasted then walk fully inside the room

"hey Mon-" her question dies suddenly on her lips as she take in the sight of a couch-sleeping Monique with Kaison also sleeping on top of her whimper softly and kicking in his sleep "I wish I had a camera this is just too cute" she coo in a whisper and walk over to them, but jump back at Monique's suddenness to wake up in protection mode

"oh Kim...it's you" she relax and start bouncing Kaison as he start fussing about his sleep being disturbed

"yeah, uh...Mon can you do me another favor?"

"sure what's up GF?"

Kim start twirling her fingers "well...you see..." a faint blush appear on her cheek "ummm..."

an elegantly arched eyebrow raise "Kim just spit it out"

the redhead swallow "me and Sanai are going out tonight and..."

Monique smirk, eyebrow still raised "and you're wondering if I'll watch Kaison tonight...I'll have to check with Will and see if he has anything planned and GBWY" confused "get back with you"

Kim nod "thanks"

"DMI" confused again "don't mention it."

BrittleCloud's funeral goes off the same way as Acoose's with an exception to his father and mother, who lead the howling and his closer comrades bury him, JaggedFrost and AquaPaws stand in the back with satisfied glints in their eyes 'I knew he was a liability to our plans' AquaPaws comment distastefully

'it's a good thing I placed that silence spell on him while we were at Koyla's estate' Shego walk pass him with a disgusted glare directed straight at him, but snort when the red Lycan next to her bump her playfully

'we are we going to do about her?' the couple walk off for the wall

'Koyla said he has something for her and I have something for the redhead' his mate look at him like he'd lost his mind

'and what exactly are you going to do when you get her?'

'I have a friend I owe a 'toy' of her caliber for the chance to speck with the Vampire King'

she snort in amusement 'you're a sick twisted man...' she rub against him 'I love it' if she were a cat she'd purr seductively, but suddenly step back 'what about the rest around the Alpha couple?' she shudder at the evil glint in JaggedFrost's onyx eyes

'in due time...in. due. time.'

Kim and Shego stand in the clean room, Kim on the other side of the curtain deciding what to wear and Shego speaking with Monique "you sure I'm not disturbing you and Will's night?" she cringe a little on the inside, what her friend see in the uptight male she's never know

"Sheegie ITYA you aren't, all we do at night alone is..."

"no don't fill my head with anymore about your private sessions!..." she shake her head "just keep an eye on my son, we'll be back later, if Will decide to change his mind Cheyenne said she'll watch him"

Monique nod and slide close to Shego "so you gonna try and make a move on her?"

emerald eyes roll "just watch Kaison and get your mind out of there" a loud smack echo throughout the room

Kim look around the curtain and can see Shego rubbing her nice, shapely ass 'did I just say 'ass'' she return to her side of the the curtain 'oh man I've been hanging with Xin Qian too long' she look back to see Shego still close to her

"why yo-" another smack not as loud, but it still echoes throughout the room, both Monique and Shego are shocked, they look at a mega blush on Kim's face, Shego smirk "why Princess..." she purr "I didn't know you had it in you" the green-skinned female step up to her

Kim step away "S-Sanai no...I'm sorry...no don't"

"but Kimmie you started it if you didn't want to get smacked you shouldn't have smacked me, now turn around"

the redhead cover her rear "Sanai!"

Shego stop to oogle Kim's perky mounds "wow Cupcake they're bigger then I thought" Kim follow her gaze and eep covering her chest "aww so unfair..." she appear beside Kim and smack her soundly on the rear "but that made it all worth it"

one hand goes to her now sore butt as she glare up at Shego "I didn't hit you that hard"

Shego wave her off "I'm not a fair minded person Princess...so where do you want to eat at?" Kim grumple something inconclusive "what was that?"

"it doesn't matter Sanai, but I'm protecting my poor butt"

"aww do you want me to kiss it?" the look on Kim's face is priceless "prude much, we'll save that for another time, but dress nice not casual or elegant sort of in between" she walk to the other side of the curtain

olive eyes watch her swaying hips then look down at the the hand slapped Shego on the butt and she chuckle 'I'll try that again...someday' Kim walk into the bathroom with a smile.
