Thanks for the reviews. :)

The smirk presented itself in all its gleeful glory as he spotted his quandary making him stand up to leave his confines. Trench flapping behind him the moment he stepped out, his continued smirk didn't relent as he went up to meet up with that tall green menace. Always hoping it would be the last time. He felt his sister's cool gaze follow him out before he disappeared past the door, and even then he still felt her presence. He never knew how she managed it so perfectly, when he tried to master it years ago. Even after all these years of being called a freak and insane by his own father to now being looked up to, he still couldn't quite perfect how she so easily did years ago by simply just standing there. He had to admit that at times he was in awe of his own sister.

For Gaz, herself, she wandered into the room he abandoned to watch Zim. Her eyes didn't give up what she was thinking as she studied all that was around him and every where's else. Without a word, she headed out herself. Dib knew she would do this with hopes she would bring others, but she never needed anyone to protect her before. Was he this daft before to think she did? He never learned, but she guessed she should be grateful that he was the only one that cared for her. She guessed. Shrugging to herself, she slunk out of their hide-out as silent as death itself promising a new gift for the afterlife.

For Zim he remembered certain locations that even that stink would occupy. Locations that his own group fanned out around. Instructing his soldiers to fan out to keep a watch out and to leave the Membrane's to himself, he had this strange distinct feeling crawl over his skin. Reach into his very depths as he skulked away escaping notice from his own soldiers and even Dib's own group.

The store was naturally dark and he was the only one there presently. He chose a place with a quick escape route, places to hide to duck and fire his weapons, and find other things to use against him. Namely some water. Dib hoped he didn't bathe in paste tonight. Bending down a little low to hide himself behind the windows and displays, he was none to shocked to find a metal leg strike just an inch away from his face prompting him to straighten up to fire back at, Zim. Zim merely moved to the right a little to avoid the shot before shooting out again with all his legs at him at the same time. Dib saw the manic anger in his face. He certainly heard the transmission. While he had been frustrated and angry with Dib in the past, never had he been this way. He was quiet as death as he focused on him. Zim continued his attacks.

"Did your hear something you hate, Zim?"

Zim snarled as he had one of his pak legs quickly snake around his ankle to flip him upside down before flinging him against a display stand. Quickly turning around, he pounced kicking him in the stomach almost cackling with delight at the pained sound emitted from, Dib before Dib kicked him away.

Head slightly turned away from him, Dib rolled his eyes a bit at the pain from his stomach. Yes, he was angry. "What did you expect from me, Zim? An invader who prides himself on saying he needs no one is after my sister. A human. You wanted her."

Zim growled deciding to fire his weapons at him feeling his legs weren't enough. Watching Dib dance around wasn't enough. "How many times have you done it? She's not yours to have, Dib."

"Neither is she yours, Zim." Rolling away from him, Dib started to laugh. "You realize how gullible you are? Oh I guess not." Feeling a slash against his side, he was lucky he was just feeling his adrenaline pumping away to not feel that hot pain seeping in.

"Dirty stinking ugly worm baby."

"You call that to the entire human race, Zim? That means you are bunching my sister up in that. Would you think she would enjoy that?"

Hearing something silently sifting through his antenna from one of his spies, they said they spotted her going in alone somewhere pretty large. Snagging, Dib quickly around the legs again, he dangled him in the air again. "Your sister is different from the rest of you and she will never be grouped in with your kind." Whipping him towards the wall, he made sure he was out before heading towards his Gaz.

For Gaz she wasn't being gullible about ending up in the mall. There had to be a reason why it was even empty of Irken's. She did have a feeling of a trap, but since her life is full of chaos, and she craved in attacking one of his soldiers she went ahead to explore inside grabbing some supplies for their new place. Nothing ever too heavy. She did cover much of the space in the amount of time she was in there before feeling the fabric of her shirt hating how ratty it was feeling for being too damned old. Glancing up at the department store above, she figured to go there, and quickly made her way inside only pausing long enough when she was lucky enough to spot something her brother would at least like. Snagging it to place in her pack, she headed to the junior's section at least lucky enough to find something off the bat for her. It was suitable for what they had to go through so she stuffed that in her pack too. Looking at the list she did have with her, she went to see if they did that at least only to find her pack knocked away from her before some spider legs wrapped around her mid-section placing her against a hard lean body.

"Let me go, Zim." She was far calmer than, Dib when she spoke to him.

"You lied to me. You told me I was the only one you kissed." He whispered in her ear. "Don't worry, I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at him." Gently, he set her down to examine her. Her hair was far longer. Her bangs were not even there any more. She still held that same aura within her. "You are still so beautiful, Gaz."

"Glad you approve, Zim, now if you'll excuse me I gotta go." She deadpanned trying to walk away from him but his pak leg blocked her. "You are worse than a Hallmark card, Zim. Although I don't believe they have the Invader section on how to be romantic with a girl."

"Glad you noticed."

Lifting her eyebrows up, she rolled her eyes at him. "You are still so gullible. I wasn't giving you a compliment, but if you wish..."

Watching her approach him, he missed those short skirts of hers, but even the slightly covered up clothing still was alluring. Zim was trying to be cautious with her knowing how lethal she can be, but the moment she came up to him where he only saw the top of her head before she tilted her head up to gaze into his eyes with the slightest of smiles, he found himself frozen especially when she ran that little tongue along those lips.

Placing both her hands on his chest, she continued to keep eye contact with him. Was his chest firmer than the last time she touched it? She thought as she splayed her hands out before running it out slowly. His breathing was becoming unsteady making her smile. "Firm." She noted softly as she moved her hands down him seeing his eyes close only slightly. Feeling this would be far more effective if she had a skirt on instead of pants, she decided to hook one leg as far up as possible behind his own before moving it down slowly. She realized she was forgetting herself momentarily. She felt aroused by her trying to distract him, that deep within her a deep hatred hit her screaming at her to not give in. Pulling her face forward to his stomach, she kissed it enjoying the unsteady breath he elicited out of himself as his body relaxed more.

With the one leg still hooked around him, she placed tension around it knocking him down on the ground, and attempted to run off when he blocked her again with the pak leg in one direction making her go the other way which meant upstairs. Focused, Gaz quickly ran up the stopped escalator.

Zim grinned as he watched his demoness run upstairs. It was hard to hate someone so resourceful as her. So evil at times. Tasty even. Standing up, he also quickly made his way upstairs as well to find immediately in the dimly lit area it was housewares and such. He couldn't wait to see what she will do here. He doubted she would use pans to attack him. It would bore her. He once saw her long ago pick up a pan to attempt to attack someone, but quickly dismissed it feeling it was used to death. He did enjoy her using the spork instead. He felt she looked adorable as she made short work at the smelly child while everyone else looked horrified.

Feeling his pak get dislodged from his back, Zim was horrified as he yelled out making him turn around so fast he almost gave himself whiplash thankful when he spotted she didn't let it fall too far from him. Glancing up, she held up a curtain rod with dangerous looking spiral things at the end lending it a spear like appearance. She did seem to allow him to grab his pak to place back on him as she waited.

"Oh look honey, I believe I found the most perfect curtain rod ever." Gaz said in a very chipper voice. "What do you think?"

Zim had no chance to respond to that question when she quickly slashed him along the arm. Still he wasn't angry at her. He simply smiled at her as he extended himself out. "I prefer to look at the bedding myself, my sweet little Gaz."

"I'm not sweet, Zim." She snarled out waving the rod around as she went to parry and thrust it at him while he went into defensive mode.

He refused to hurt her, but he did love watching her fight. Did she know how much it excited him now? She was strong. Even stronger than even the female Irkens. She was far more calculating, but he needed to get that thing out of her hand. He had to close their gap. Waving his legs out more like whips, he nabbed her rod out of her hand to fling it far away from her watching her duck before doing back flips away from him before rolling away to the side. He had her scent inside of him. His antennas were already alert to her more now as he went to seek her out.

For Dib he was slapped awake by Brian. "Where is Zim?!"

"If our spies have anything to indicate, he is at the mall. His troops have surrounded it." He lazily informed him. "The worst of it is this, Gaz went there long before they or he arrived there. She hasn't come home yet."

Dib's head was splitting from the pain he experienced from connecting to the wall, but that was very little at hearing that information when his eyes nearly bulged out of his skull. "We have to get her back."

"I agree, but it is like every one of his troops have surrounded that mall."

"I don't care! I'm going. I'm not letting him near my sister." Standing up shakily, he walked out of there as quickly as possible.

"So, uh, you kissed your own sister. That is sick man." Brian mentioned off handedly.

"I didn't. Gaz said that to anger him which worked a little too well." Feeling blood on him, he moved his hand behind his head to note he was cut back there. "Let's just go okay."

"Sure thang boss." Brian deadpanned back.

Moving silently around, Gaz kept going not seeing him around. She knew the employees would have their own elevators but that would be too slow, so she kept moving around hoping to reach those escalators again. As much as she loved doing her own little damage, she somehow didn't want to do to much to him. She sneered at her weakness which unfortunately made her slip as she felt his arms around her again. Cursing at him and cursing at feeling like a fucking doll with how easily he was carrying her around as if it was no big deal, she soon found herself tossed on a bed with him pinning himself on top of her. Eyes wide, she struggled against him.

This was almost like his dream except them being in a nurses office. "Please, Gaz."

"Don't please, Gaz me, Zim! You have no right. I mean seriously! You want to force me with you, will that make you happy when I'm not ready. When I told you that there is something wrong with me."

"You also said you were repulsive when you aren't. Why would you think that when you are perfect?" He breathed out bringing his face closer to her.

"You could do better than me though. Hey there is Tak if she is still alive. She almost has that same horrible personality as me."

Eyes aflamed, Zim snarled, "NEVER! Ever think that ever again. You are far more better than her in every way. I wouldn't care if she died, I would care if you did. If you died nothing will be the same again for me." Calming down a bit at seeing her saddened face, he added, "Is it because Dib made you feel dirty for making you kiss him?"

Shaking her head, she gave him a point blank expression. "We never kissed, Zim. I said that in order to get you here on Earth so we both can confront you. There was another script that Dib wanted me to say, but I felt that was weak so I reached out to slap your ego. Dib and I would never ever do that ever in our entire lives. Trust me when I say you have been the only one I have ever kissed." Gaz earnestly told him wishing he wasn't pinning her down.

"He never?"

How can he get his eyes to look so puppy dog sad? She wondered. It was strange making her want to touch his face softly, but another part wanted to deck him. "I swear, Zim."

He examined that delicate smooth face of hers. He was more curious to wonder how someone with such a doll like face that appeared like it could break if the wind hit it just right, but she still maintained this attitude. She might of told him she would be his queen if he was Tallest to simply get out of that restroom, but to him that word was binding. That look in her face was too. He saw it. He wasn't seeing things. The whole Empire knew of her being his Queen, but he forgot one detail besides marriage. "I love you, Gaz." Zim whispered bringing his mouth down to the side of her neck, at her pulse point, and pressed his teeth in.

Zim heard her shocked gasp. Felt her body jolt before stiffening up as he performed the second of the binding between them both. He was sure after seeing one too many vampire movies the humans would automatically assume it to be like so, but she wasn't going to turn Irken. She'll still remain herself with her blood mixing in with his saliva. Her eyes were closed again as he continued his ritual along with that sound she made which died down for a minute before he caught sight of how her eyes looked once she opened them back up as they almost mimicked his eyes, except not as large, but fully red just the same before she closed to relax them again.

Outside, Dib had accessed blueprints of the mall finding they can go underneath it through some tunnels. "These shouldn't be occupied because it will be very damp down there, and they aren't fans of wetness."

"I'm not fond of it either." Brian mentioned with a frown.

"I really am not either, but she is in there alone with him so we got to reach the way to those tunnels so that might mean some killing or not. I'm sure you won't mind that."

"I wouldn't mind a pizza."

"You and Gaz and your obsession over pizza." Dib grumbled as he started crawling his way over to the tunnels.

Gaz felt this to be the oddest sensation ever that she was experiencing to the point that it seemed to be appeasing her way too much. She felt Zim inside of her now, it felt like a piece of jewelry she could never return back to him ever. She also wanted it to stop, but also wanted it to keep going now because she started to moan against him. What is this crazy alien doing to her? Feeling him move slowly away from her neck, she couldn't question him when she was stopped at feeling that tongue lick her lovingly there prompting her to wiggle in his grasp, but hatefully she wasn't trying to wiggle out of his grip. Mouth opening up wide, she moaned out loud not seeming to mind feeling his pak leg moving her shirt up.

Zim's eyes widened at listening to his love sing out for him. He smiled at that mark on her neck now knowing no one will mistake her for who she belongs to now. Taking two of his pak legs, he didn't want to still hold her up like this, and in the middle of him switching between his claws and legs, she slipped her hands away to wrap them around his neck to kiss him. It was now his turn to moan into her mouth. With one hand he propped her head up mostly to feel that soft hair of hers. He wanted more.

Gaz will need to demand Dib to put a straight jacket on her later. She wasn't ready for this kind of thing, she knew she wouldn't go with him. She knew this kiss was more powerful than their first one making her not mind him feeling his hand roam down her body curious to what he would do, but knowing she will stop him from wanting to have sex with her. She felt like an idiot in one of those romance novels who looks at the male during a heated sex scene when he pulls away, because she had her mouth slightly open to look into his eyes before he went back to that spot at her neck again making her moan out again.

"Zim." She strangled his name out weakly finding herself not minding what he was doing there as she danced under him. Gaz just hated the bastard worse when those clawed hands snaked down easily down into her pants to reach her womanhood making her thrust up against him.

Subduing a couple guards that stood outside the hidden entrance, Brian was the one that picked the lock allowing them to get inside. "Had practice from always forgetting my key." He offered as an explanation.

Dib honestly didn't care right now if he used it to rob a bank, it just mean he didn't have to waste any precious time hooking his computer into the lock.

Zim was receiving the largest preview of his future honeymoon with her. He felt they were made for one another. He loved when she moved to her side to hook her leg over his waist to keep allowing him to touch her. Faces inches apart, he had no true clue what she was thinking of right now even as she moved to kiss him again making him now gasp out in pleasure at feeling that tiny powerful hand of hers reach inside his pants to grasp him.

Eyes closed, she had to move out of his range of vision so she went to kiss his neck. Would they have managed to do this at the look-out point before Dib interrupted them?This whole world has been invaded. Would he still invaded it if she did leave with him? No! She wasn't ready. She still wasn't ready. Why does he have to feel so damn good? Gaz hated herself. She will need to cause damage later to free her mind again. She hated herself so much right now.

Zim felt her and heard her talking to herself. Opening his eyes up, he watched at how easily she slid away from him as fear took over before being replaced by hate. She was spewing hateful things and it wasn't at him. It was at herself. Why did she feel this way about herself? Raising himself up, she held up her hand up to him screaming at him to stay away from her and that she will never be ready. He saw her stumble. Gaz never stumbled, but she did as that demon hate took over inside of her making her run away from him.

"GAZ!" Scrambling off the bed, he chased after her only stopping long enough to marvel at how well she slid down the middle of the escalators rail before landing and grabbing her pack to dash off. She was incredibly quick as always making him follow her just calling out her name.

Gaz had to think, she knew the way in and out of this mall better than anyone. She saw his troops outside making her take a beeline to another route that would be sure to make Zim scream like a girl as she went down lower to find the basements access tunnels. From far behind, she heard her name still. Why in the hell did he want her? She yelled at herself as she kept going down the tunnel to meet up with the very familiar outline of her brother. "Dib." She breathed out.

"Gaz." Dib went to hug her.

"He isn't far behind. Well at least I don't think so." Gaz said as she rushed past them.

For Zim, he did stop himself as he witnessed the cramped horror of that tunnel knowing that no amount of paste would stop him from feeling that germy pile of crud he was witnessing. Raising up his troops, he informed them that their Queen escaped again with her brother being responsible. Hell, he had to blame someone and not her.

Gaz was beside Dib as he got his head examined by the doctor they were lucky enough to have with them telling him how lucky he was that it could of been far more worse. Dib smiled weakly at him telling him he has had much worse since fighting with Zim for all this time. Hearing Gaz make a rude sound, he narrowed his eyes at her. "I know it is the first time he made me bleed."

"You have yourself a tough head, I think you'll be safe." She dryly noted as she pushed some hair behind her left ear.

Rolling his eyes, Dib opened his mouth to respond to her comment, but instead got off the table and lifted her up instead to put her up in his place. "He did that to you, didn't he?!"

"Its nothing, Dib. Get off my case."

Stopping her from sliding off the table, he trapped her by placing his hands on either side of her. "No! You have any idea how many germs are inside the human mouth? Can you imagine what is inside an aliens mouth? Examine her. Take tests of her." He demanded. "If you don't let him do this, I will personally do something extremely horrible for the both of us if you don't let him."

Glaring at him, she bared her teeth. "Oh? And what is that, Dib?"

"That lie you said in order to get Zim down here, I'll make it true."

Eyes widening for a second, she lowered them. "No, you wouldn't."

Getting uncomfortably close to her face, he whispered, "Want to take that chance with me?"

Shuddering before sticking her tongue out in disgust, she pulled her hair back. "Go for it, doc."

"You can hate me now, Gaz, but you know why I want you to do this. Perhaps you shouldn't of gone out. Perhaps you shouldn't..."

Jumping off the table, she slammed her brother against the wall. "Do not hinder me, Dib. I'm warning you. He'll find me one way or another and you know this." Letting him go roughly, she got back on the table allowing the doctor to clean and take a blood test of her.

Waiting in the launch bay, Tak was sneering at him as he entered. "You called for me."

Refusing to touch her, and really not wanting to be alone with her for far too long, he wondered what the Dib-stink saw in her. Honestly he thought him better than her and that will always be the best compliment to give him on the contest of, 'Who does Zim find more vile?'

"How does it feel to know that your own Queen kissed her own brother?"

Chuckling at her childish attempt of poking at him, he leveled back, "Well I had a conversation with him before her. It seemed he thought Gaz to be far more pleasant. I am in obvious agreement there." Snarling, she tried to claw at him, but he waggled a finger at her in warning. "Remember who I am, Tak. As for Dib and Gaz, no such thing occurred. It was simply to get me angry. Gaz finds that disgusting and Dib does have morals. He just doesn't have taste."

"Neither does she apparently."

"And yet she is the Queen that you are not allowed to kill, Tak." Smiling at her unhappiness, he added, "I really love torturing you like this."

Tak stared at him as thoughts poked and prodded at her. She hated him. "Want me to help flush out, Dib?"

"Yes, and have fun with him. Just don't kill him yet."

"When do you wish for me to start?"

"Be your best judge there, Tak. Now be off, your face is tiring to look at." Zim ordered.

What possessed the Control Brains to pick him? A defective of all Irkens. He was still an insult and chasing after a minor being. She won't live long and to her estimation from when she saw her that time, she wasn't that special to behold.

Well weeeee that was a long chapter to write. Darn hands were tired after writing it.
