Chapter Six
Kim Possible slowly woke to an exotic fragrance that had always been part of her most exciting moments. Kim decided to simply lie in the borrowed bed for a time as she breathed in the odd and wonderful smell that calmed her raging thoughts and she was at peace for a time.
Well she was at peace until she let out a sigh of joy and a familiar voice snapped her back to reality.
"Enjoying your beauty sleep Princess?" asked Shego. Kim then realized that Shego's arms were around her and the older woman was pressed against her back. In pure shock Kim jump from the thief's arms and tumbled on to the floor in a tangled mess of teen hero and blankets.
"Shego! Don't scare me like that!" yelled Kim as she managed to extract herself from the black blankets that had fallen with her, only to quickly pull them back over herself as she blushed like mad. "Where is my shirt!"
"Oh, that old thing? It was all torn and dirty so I got rid of it for you," said Shego with a smug smirk on her face. "And your pants" and that piece of information made Kim blush even more.
"You pervert, what am I meant to wear?" asked Kim as she clutched the blanket closer.
"Calm down you big baby, we're the same size remember?" sighed Shego as she threw Kim one of her trademark cat suits.
Ten very awkward minutes of Kim blushing and Shego smirking later the pair made there way down to the small mess hall.
"I thought you were going to die Shego, you shouldn't worry me like that," said Kim as she punched Shego gently in the arm. "You're meant to be the invincible one not the one who needs saving."
"Aw was little Kimmie worried about me? Worried I'd be gone before you got that first kiss?" replied Shego, drawing another blush from the teen but Shego made careful note that Kim didn't answer her question.
As the pair ate a simple meal of sandwiches and fries Kim filled Shego in on how she had found Drakken and about the factory above them. Shego was quite excited when she heard about the massive numbers of synthodrones being made.
"Looks like Dr. D is finally acting like a proper villain," said Shego with an almost bloodthirsty smile. "It's about time someone took a boot to Global Justice's butt."
"Shego we don't even know if it really was GJ that attacked you and Drakken…" replied Kim meekly.
"Kimmie have you even been paying attention? The ninja said she was hired by GJ, the ninja had a standard GJ distress beacon and let's not forget that when you were all zombie like more then a dozen of their agents were trying to stop us from getting away," explained Shego. "So if it sounds like GJ and looks like GJ then it was probably GJ Princess."
Kim couldn't find any fault with Shego's logic but she still had a hard time believing that Betty would try and kill Shego and Drakken. Not only was it out of character for Betty but it was stupid, Drakken wasn't even that big a threat to the world, sure he was persistent but half his plans were idiotic and the other half even a teenager could defeat. Kim had proven that many times.
Kim's long silence was a clear signal to Shego that the teen was hiding something.
"You didn't tell him the Betty sent the ninjas did you Possible?" asked Shego in an accusing tone.
"Um… I mean…" Kim was lost for words at Shego's blatant accusation.
"He needs to know and I'm going to tell him." Said Shego sternly as she stood and began to walk away and Kim couldn't find it in herself to stop the thief as she walked out of the mess hall.
Didn't Drakken have a right to know who had attacked him and the people he considered as close as family? Kim had to admit that she would have wanted to know but she also knew what Drakken would do with that information.
Drakken would go to war.
"Shego!" screamed Kim as she ran down the hall Shego had departed into but it was clear that the thief had foreseen Kim's sudden moral crisis because Kim immediately ran into a sealed metal door and knocked herself cold.
An hour later Kim awoke in Shego's bed with a note taped to her face that informed her that Shego had told Drakken and that before she got mad to think about the fact that Global Justice had just released a bounty for Kim, Dead or Alive.
Dead or Alive.
It was the same principle as the orders for the ninjas; Kim could never be taken in alive so GJ wanted her dead. Maybe it was time for war.
"I take it by the fact you aren't leaping out of bed to try and beat me to death that you agree with what I did?" asked Shego who had been hiding in a patch of shadow in the room's corner.
"Shego!" yelled Kim as she instinctively pulled the blankets to cover herself. "Stop popping out of nowhere!"
"Yeah you agree and now you're being mad to hide how sad you feel that your precious morals have been shattered by the real world." Kim knew that Shego was right, lately the thief had been reading her a little to easily and she knew her words were true. "I'll leave you to your little identity crisis; Dr. D wants to talk to me about strategies on how to attack a nearby town."
Kim didn't pay attention to Shego's declaration that Drakken was so to start his march of conquest soon, she didn't pay attention to Shego tell her not to be to hard on herself. Kim's morals were agreeing with Drakken and Shego. Her response to what was happening would have been little different then theirs. Did that make her a villain like them? Kim did finally pay attention to Shego when the thief made her greatest theft ever right under the nose of the greatest hero on the planet.
Shego swept from the room after she stole a kiss from Kim Possible.
