Chapter 30:
Go City:
"I was wondering how long you were planning to keep me waiting for."
Kim said, looking at the two women descending down the stairs.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, pumpkin. We were a little caught up in something. Anyway, what brings you here?"
Shego asked, taking a seat across from Kim. Ayumi sat next to her.
"Well, when I heard you had left out without saying where you were going I got curious as to where you might be."
"You mean you got concerned."
"No, I didn't."
Shego stared Kim down.
"Are you sure about that?"
As Shego continued to stare her down, Kim began to feel herself growing nervous.
After a few minutes she was unable to take Shego's gaze for much longer, and she finally confessed to having been concerned about her.
"Why were you concerned anyways?"
"Well you do have that bruise on your face."
"You're still worried about it?"
Kim nodded her head.
"Well don't be, it's nothing."
This time it was Kim's turn to eye Shego.
"Really Kim, I'm fine."
Seeing that Shego was not going to tell her how she got the bruise, Kim decided to change the subject.
"Do you remember my uncle Slim, and his daughter Joss?"
"You mean the ones who own the ranch that Dr. D tried to take over that one time?"
"Yep."
"Yeah, I remember them. Why do you ask?"
"They're coming over for dinner tonight."
"I see. Do they know I've been staying with you?"
Kim shook her head.
"This should be an interesting dinner then."
"You better behave yourself."
Kim said, sounding like a stern parent.
"You make it sound like I'm gonna do something bad."
"It's not that I think you will, but my uncle and cousin haven't exactly forgiven you for what you've done."
"So what, you expect them to think I've changed."
"Well you have changed."
"No I haven't."
"She's right, you have."
Ayumi said, finally joining in on the conversation.
"Okay, maybe I've changed in some ways, but I'm still a sarcastic bitch."
"So long as you admit it."
Ayumi said, earning herself a glare from her girlfriend.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing hon, nothing at all."
"I oughta kick your ass."
Shego grumbled, giving Ayumi a threatening look. Ayumi just giggled, and gave Shego a peck on the cheek.
"You're so adorable when, you're angry."
Shego turned her attention back to Kim, ignoring Ayumi's comment altogether.
"So, are you going to inform your relatives I'll be joining them for dinner, or are you just gonna wait until they see me sitting at the table?"
"I was just gonna wait."
"Why? Are you afraid to tell them I'm there?"
"No, but I haven't seen them in a while, and I don't want them to change their minds on coming because you're there."
"I see. Excuse me."
Shego then got up and left the room.
"Nice going, Kim."
Ayumi said, giving Kim a dirty look.
"What did I say?"
"Are you that dunce? You said you didn't want her around."
"I didn't mean it like that."
"Well that's how she took it. Look, I know Ciel has done some questionable things in the past, but she still has feelings."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt her feelings."
"Well, you did. Maybe next time you should think before you open your mouth."
Ayumi then got up to go look for Shego, leaving Kim alone to think about what she had done.
