(Day Seven)

"Look, I know this isn't want you want to hear, but we simply cannot go to rescue Kim." Betty Director said to the picture of Wade and Ron on her monitor. "We simply do not have the time or the money to go after her right now."

"What do you mean you don't have the time or the money!?" Ron hollered, practically at the top of his lungs in order to get his point across. "Kim has been the most valuable part of Global Justice since she graduated from Middleton High and even more so after she graduated with a Master's two years later!" The young man was starting to become a little hysterical, so Wade gently placed his hand on the blond man's shoulder and directed him to the other chair that had been set up in his room.

"I understand that, but you don't seem to understand just how bad this recession is. If my own daughter were to go missing, I wouldn't be unable to pull enough strings to get her home. My department is the only one that can handle situations like this at the moment and we just can't do anything at all." Wade nodded to show that he understood, but in the back of his mind, he was cursing Doctor Director for what was happening. Then the woman said something that neither of the boys wanted to hear.

"How do we even know that Kim Possible is even still alive?"

Both of the men simply froze. Ron leaned forward in his chair and folded his arms over his legs, leaning on them. His expression changed and nothing could be registered from his eyes. Wade's expression, however, just showed sorrow. He looked away from the camera on his computer and down to his many keyboards. Betty internally sighed and wished that she had never asked the question to begin with.

"I know what's going through you head right now... Look... All I can do is allow you to use one of the GJ ships... I'll arrange for a crew to go with you... All of the men and women who really had a connection with Kim and...  You can have a ceremony..." Doctor Director didn't know how she was going to pull that off, but it was the least she could do. She waited silently and patiently.

Wade looked at Ron. All the young man could do was stand up and walk out of the room. Sighing, the teenager look back to the one-eyed woman, his eyes grieving. Before answering, Wade looked to the lopping footage that he received from the Kimmunicator. The entire time, Kim never dropped the device as she swam for Shego and then even after she grabbed the woman. He had watched the footage a thousand times over.

But this time...

He noticed something that he hadn't seen before. The very last image before the camera on the communications device failed, although very blurry, was Kim making her way to a separate and obviously air tight room in the back of the lair. Wade's eyes suddenly lit up and a very small grin worked its way onto his face.

"Thanks, but no thanks, Doctor Director. If you can't help us, we have plenty of favors we can call in that will."

Wade disconnected the call.

(Day Seven)

Shego started to wake up, her eyes attempting to adjust to the lights that were programmed by the computer on the desk to turn on at eight o'clock every morning. Why there was a computer in the room that could be programmed to use the power generator but not have an internet connection was beyond Shego. She knew that Drakken was an idiot. He was able to think of damn near everything that he would need expect a means of escape.

The pale-woman started to stretch in order to shift the fabric of her catsuit, but then stopped when she felt something next to her move. She lit up her hand and was about to strike whatever was next to her but when she turned to see Kim cuddled up against her body. The redhead had her arms around the other woman, with her face nuzzled behind Shego's neck. When Shego had shifted, Kim had unconsciously held the thief tighter to keep her from moving. The raven-haired woman sighed a little to herself. She let the plasma around her hand fade and she looked at the hero.

"Wake up." Shego said in a rather blunt tone before she took her leg and swiftly pushed the other girl off of the bed with it. Kim woke with a huff and a loud thud on the floor beneath her. She stood up carefully and rubbed her back and butt with her hands before trying to discern what had happened.

"Morning, Princess." The other woman said in a rather curt tone as she sat up in the bed. She crossed her arms and looked at the hero as if she expected an explanation, despite her acceptance of why Kim crawled into bed with her. Kim honestly seemed a little scared of Shego's expression.

"Well... It was really cold last night... And I thought-"

"Yeah yeah, whatever." The woman said in a dismissive tone as she waved it off. She then stood out of bed and stretched her arms above her head. Kim didn't realize that she had been looking Shego up and down a little before the thief turned around and saw the young woman with her head tilted slightly to the side. "Excuse you." Kim looked up at Shego and her face instantly turned a light shade of red.

"I wasn't-I mean-You-" The girl tried to explain but Shego just cut her off again.

"Yeah, you be glad that I didn't kill you for the kiss the other night, but if you try anything else, I swear I'll burn off all that pretty red hair of your head..." Shego scolded the young woman. Kim looked even more sheepish than she had a moment ago. The slightly older woman started walking towards the kitchen.

"Why don't you go take a shower since you're still staring." Shego shut the door behind her.

Kim didn't realize that she had been looking at Shego's rear as well. Now she could feel her entire body flush. She crossed her arms over her chest and stood there for a moment thinking about what actually just happened.

"Was I really just looking at her ass...? She thought to herself.

The hero started making her way to the bathroom, shuffling her feet along the ground and still tilting her head to the side, puzzled about what she had just done.

XxXxX

Once Shego closed the door to the kitchen, she started snickering. She never realized that messing with the redhead like this could be so entertaining. Why hadn't she thought of this before?

To the woman's surprise, she actually started thinking about the answer to that question while she started making breakfast. She gathered some bacon and some eggs from the refrigerator and set them on the counter as she reached for a loaf of bread. With each movement she made, another thought seemed to trail into her mind.

Why hadn't she tormented the younger woman like this before? It was obviously a good weak spot. Did Shego just not realize that it was something that she was allowed to use to her advantage? The redhead was clearly distracted by the other woman's words as well as her body, so Shego figured that she should have used that in one of their fights before. The more she repeated the same thoughts in her head, the more she began to think on her fights with Kim as well. With each battle over the years, Shego had barely even registered all of the precarious positions they they were forced into. To her it was absolutely normal because they had done it for so long. Even after Kimmie had come out of the closet, so to speak, Shego hadn't really noticed the change, so it never seemed important.

But why was it that this was so unnatural to her now?

She flipped the four strips of bacon that she had in the pan as well as the two eggs. Toast was then shoved out of the toaster by the device and Shego grabbed the two pieces without thinking anything of it. Her mind was on auto-pilot as one question kept circling her mind.

Why was is that she didn't mind fighting with Kim?

Actually...

Why was it that she had stopped trying to defeat the redhead?

That question bothered Shego even more than the last one. She was using a spatula to shovel the eggs onto separate plates, placing the toast next to each of them. She had started to admit that she had come to respect the young hero, not just for her skills but also as a person. She gritted her teeth thinking about that, but she also had to admit that after the "Miss Go Incident" she had begun to actually enjoy the girls company.

And now that she was trapped with the girl, she didn't mind having someone to... Talk to.

Shego's thoughts were interrupted when she heard the door to the kitchen open and looked up to see Kim walking into the room. The girl was wearing her cargo pants, but that wasn't what caught the thief's eyes; Kim had walked into the room with her robe completely open. And Shego blushed.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!?" Shego yelled at the redhead. Kim looked at the other woman with a confused expression. "Close your robe!" She ordered. Kim looked down and then seemed to just tilt her head as she realized that she hadn't closed it yet. She grabbed for the belt in order to secure the two sides of the large garment to conceal her torso.

"Why the fuck did you- did you-!" The raven-haired woman was so flustered she couldn't even think.

"I just figured we're both girls and-"

"Yeah, this coming from the lesbian!" Shego had interrupted the other girl and crossed her arms over her chest in a huff, still attempting to hide the blush that her mind was trying to deny was there.

"Well, I just thought that since you're straight it wouldn't bother you." Kim's expression changed from defensive to offensive. She also crossed her arms as she shifted her weight to one leg. She was hurt and it showed in her eyes.

And Shego noticed. She started to feel the ache in her chest once again. She didn't know was caused it or how to deal with it. All she knew was that she didn't like it or what she saw in the redhead's eyes.

"You just surprised me... That's all..." The thief finally said as she turned away from Kim and looked at the food that she had placed on the table. "Let just eat, eh?"She sat down and then used her feet under the table to push out Kim's chair. Kim couldn't help but notice the sudden change in the pale woman's demeanor. The hero let her anger fade as she went to sit down. For the most part, the two women ate in silence, which left Shego to her thoughts again.

She was starting to think that she had spent way too much time with the redheaded hero. Why else would she have felt so... bad about blatantly showed her distress? She was Shego, the one woman on the face of the Earth that could insult a man she didn't even know, pick him up by the back of his shirt and the line of his pants and then toss his out a window without feeling any remorse whatsoever. But the look in Kim's eyes had really stung. The thief realized that she had actually wounded the girl.

'Just don't think about it and you'll be fine...' Her mind muttered.

And they continued to eat in silence.

XxXxX

Kim was lounging in her armchair, fiddling with her water-logged Kimmunicator, while Shego sat on the couch that was facing away from Kim. She was reading a book and the two women had spent the majority of the day this way. Kim had been too worried that if she said anything that another lesbian comment would be thrown her way while Shego was afraid of hurting the girl.

The raven-haired woman couldn't concentrate on the letters in her book long enough to string a sentence together. She was scowling as she tried to read because she just couldn't figure out why the little hero kept getting to her:

First, she had conceded to actually talking with the young woman. She had to admit that it wasn't entirely bad. In fact, Shego rather enjoyed being able to talk with someone about what happened with the attitudinator. She eventually settled on the fact that she did it for her own sanity so that she wouldn't become a mental case and see flying bunnies when and if she finally got out of this place.

Second, she had actually started cooking some meals for Kim. She never cooked for anyone, not even her  few boyfriends. She never even cooked for her family, not that she would cook for the annoyances anyway. Again, the pale-skinned woman settled on the idea that it was because she had witnessed Kim attempting to cook for herself once before and she was honestly afraid that the girl might end up blowing them out of the ocean depths if she even tried to make toast.

And Third... Shego hadn't even considered hitting Kim when the girl had blatantly kissed her. She had snarled but that instantly faded when she saw the look on the girls face: a mixture of exhaustion and blissfulness. Kim had looked so content after the embrace that Shego had lost all will to hurt her.

Somehow a fourth this popped into her mind. To go along with all of that, Shego found herself thinking about how Kim had looked when she walked into the kitchen that morning. Even after Kim had tied the belt around her robe, the thief found herself looking at how the girl had filled out since her high school years when they first met. Kim no longer looked like the thin teenager with no real features. She had filled out to actually look like a young woman: her hips were a little wider, her breasts were fuller, her face had lost the roundness of a child. The girl had a figure now. Shego felt her cheeks warm and her hands began to feel a strange itch.

While Shego was musing on all of this, Kim just sat in her chair. She eventually sighed when she couldn't take the silence any longer.  She set her Kimmunicator down on the coffee table and the stood up on her knees on the cushion of the chair and leaned over to see what Shego was reading. Apparently the older woman had picked up the book that Kim had finished reading the other day, The Art of War, by Sun Tzu. She hadn't thought that Shego wasn't the type to get into historical or military figured books. This made Kim smile a little.

The redhead looked up at the clock and noticed that it was already almost eight o'clock, and again she sighed quietly. Looking back at Shego, she noticed that the woman hadn't turned the page at all in the last five minutes.

'The book isn't that difficult of a read...' She thought to herself. She leaned forward a little more so that her mouth was relatively close to Shego's ear. She smiled and just stayed there for a moment with her eyes closed. She took in a deep breath and enjoy the captivating scent, knowing that she was too close. Kim quickly shoved that thought out of her mind.

"Hey Shego?" Kim said quietly to try not to startle the woman. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Shego was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she jumped at the sound of Kim's voice and then fell forward off the couch, landing on her hands and knees. She immediately stood back up and looked at Kim with a stern look.

"What, Princess?" The raven-haired woman muttered. Kim now looked rather embarrassed as well as nervous.

"I just wanted to apologize for earlier..." She muttered before looking down. Shego opened her mouth, confused and shocked.

"What do you mean?" She asked bluntly.

"How I walked into the kitchen... I should have been more considerate... Not to mention how huffy I got with you after that... I wasn't my place to act that way. Comments like that shouldn't get to me like that anymore..." Kim seemed to trail off a bit but when she looked up she just looked embarrassed rather than ashamed.

"Anymore...?"Shego thought with some shame. She couldn't believe it. The girl was actually taking the blame for how Shego had acted. The thief had to just stand there for a moment and process what the hero had said. Shego hadn't even thought about how her pumpkin had been so "inconsiderate" and just left her robe open. In fact that idea didn't even cross her mind. She just assumed that the girl was used to doing that at home, walking out of the shower and just walking into her kitchen to eat breakfast. It was normal for most people when they lived alone. Hell, she did it on occasion when Drakken wasn't going to be around for a while. The raven-haired woman sighed and then seemed to smiled a little when she looked at Kim. It was an unconscious smile, not one that the other woman could actually control.

"Stupid hero..." She muttered softly as she actually reached out to stroke the top of Kim's head.

"Huh?" Kim tilted her head a little at the tone of endearment rather than the term itself.

"No worries." Shego said as she knelt down to pick up her book. "It wasn't your fault."

"What do you mean it-"

"You didn't do anything wrong." Shego said bluntly looking at Kim as if she really was a stupid hero. Kim tilted her head a little but then smiled. She understood what the other woman meant. Shego was attempting to apologize in her own twisted way. The hero had known the thief long enough to know how prideful she was. Shego would never apologize for something so trivial.

"Thank you." Kim said with a smile as Shego went to place the book on the nightstand next to the bed.

"Yeah, yeah..." The woman muttered. "Now thinking about showers reminds me that I need one. Once I'm done, I'll make dinner. I don't even want you to consider trying or you might actually blow us up this time."

The pale woman walked off towards the bathroom, her hips swaying as she went, which didn't go unnoticed by Kim. The redhead actually decided to watch with a small smirk on her features but right when Shego reached the doorway to the bathroom, she turned around and looked at Kim.

"I know you hate to watch me go, Princess, but I'm sure you love to watch me leave." Shego winked and entered the bathroom with a smirk of her own. "That should stun her for a bit.

Kim sat there for a moment completely still. Then her face turned a bright shade of red just before she fell backwards out of the armchair.

XxXxX

(Day Ten)

It was about ten o'clock at night and Shego was lying in bed staring at the TV screen which had been hidden in the cabinet next to the one with Drakken's bland clothing. She was watching a moving the redhead now lying next to her had begged to see. Apparently Shego had never seen the movie Toy Story before. Not that she cared to see it. Ever. But Kim had insisted when she found it in the library closet. Kim got Shego to watch it by truthfully claiming that it was her favorite movie as a child. The pair had been watching a number of movies that Shego had wanted to watch over the past three days, she figured that watching an old animated movie before bed was alright. Besides, she could just fall asleep if she got bored with it.

The thief laughed to herself a little when the psychotic child, Sid, appeared on the screen close to the end of the movie. She thought it was absolutely hilarious how the sadistic child was afraid of the toys, but then again, if toys started trying to attack her, Shego thought to herself, she probably wouldn't be too happy about it either. The difference there, though, was that she would just melt the little bastards.

When the pale-skinned woman laughed, Kim shifted next to her. Shego didn't realize it until now, but Kim had fallen asleep on what was now designated as her side of the bed. It didn't take a rocket scientist to notice that Kim's body temperature was lower than that of the average human. So in order to keep from having a dead hero on her hands, Shego let the freezing girl sleep with her at night. But now said hero was shifting away from her side of the bed and attempting to cuddle into Shego.

The thief snarled a little bit but then something on the TV screen caught her eye again and she couldn't help but chuckle a little to herself. It was such a juvenile movie. She couldn't fathom why her princess enjoyed it. She then looked over to Kimmie and sighed in a bit of defeat when she felt Kim's cold hands on her abnormally hot skin.

"Alright, fine you little popsicle..." The raven-haired thief picked up the sheets that had been pushed to the bottom of the bed and pulled them over the pair. She bit her lip and then reluctantly put her arm over the girl's shoulders in an attempt to keep Kim from shivering all night long. Kim started murmuring in her sleep. She was barely forming a word, but it was obvious what she was attempting to say.

"Sh... She...go..." Kim muttered softly. She did it once more, and then again before she finally stopped, beginning to slip completely into sleep.

The woman Kim had mumbled about in her rest blushed as she tilted her head to look at the sleeping hero. She had never seen the girl so peaceful in all her life or at least in the amount of time that they had known each other. The thief began to think to herself on the redhead's outward appearance. The girl always seemed to be in great shape; there was no other way that she would be able to keep up with Shego. The thief then noted how feminine the hero looked. She had always expected for lesbians to appear masculine, but Kim had always been slender and petite.

Then her mind began to wander to another subject.

What was it that made Kim a lesbian? There couldn't be anything about the outward appearance that would contribute to that. Shego knew that much. She wasn't stupid enough to think that. She never thought of homosexuality as a preference rather than an orientation. If you weren't attracted to someone then you weren't. She knew that just by looking at the men she had dated. It must had been something about the female body that drove the redhead to appreciate it more and find it sexually appealing.

Maybe it was the way that a woman had curves rather than the blunt straight lines that seemed to make up a man's form. Women had hips and men ha... well, hips but they weren't the same; they didn't have a soft look or feel to them. As Shego thought about it more and more she began to realize that Kim's orientation was due to the fact that men were rough and course; they had no real softness about them when it came to their figure.

This caused Shego to think on the differences between men and women physically for the rest of the evening. It didn't even register to her that the credits were running up the screen on the television. She just looked up at the dark ceiling, musing on the details  of the body that differed between the sexes. She knew that attraction went beyond physical, but she was now curious as to what made the physical aspects attractive. She began to realize that men were just course and unappealing in many senses. Was that why she enjoyed looking at herself in the mirror when she was dressed in a bathing suit or a formfitting outfit? She knew that she was attractive to most, but it never really registered to her that the female form itself was attractive.

These thoughts consumed her throughout the night. It wasn't until about eleven thirty that Shego was finally able to drift off to sleep, with her arm still unknowingly draped over the young woman next to her.

XxXxX

The feeling was absolutely amazing and Shego couldn't help but let out a long moan as she felt the hands on her hips and the warmth that seemed to steal the small gem atop one of her breasts. It was better than anything that she had felt before. Her hair was in her face and scattered across the pillows. The mouth that had gingerly taken her breast was now working at it furiously with its tongue.

She moaned in pleasure and she seemed to arch her back towards the one causing her pleasure. She could feel one of the hands on her hips move slowly down her thighs and gently caress her skin. It was as if she was being touched by the softest hands in the world, as if an angel was gently brushing over her skin with each subtle, feather-light touch.

She then suddenly gasped and let out another cry of ecstasy as she felt that gentle hand light trace a small line over her core. She let another long, soul-searing moan escape her as she felt precise and careful digits work their way over her silken rose.

Then she felt a careful digit slip inside and she couldn't help but let out another cry as she felt herself climax from the ministrations.

"Oh Kim--!" ...

XxXxX

(Day Eleven)

Shego's eyes shot open and she quickly shielded them from the bright lights on the ceiling of the little apartment-like room. She looked over at the clock and noticed that the light has just turned on because it was eight o'clock.

The thief could feel her hips trembling slightly and she understood why. She began to feel her mind panic as she recollected the dream that she had just been woken up from. She was still panting and she brushed the hair from her face. She looked down at her body which was still clothed and covered with the sheets that she had placed over herself and Kim-

Kim!

She looked to her left to see if the girl was asleep. Much to Shego's relief, the girl was still sleeping where she had been the night before. It looked as though the hero hadn't moved an inch since she drifted off. The petrified woman sighed. Had the young woman been awake and noticed Shego's current state, there was sure to be either an awkward conversation or a smirk that the thief would be able to be rid of for days.

What the hell was wrong with her? She had been alone with Kim only ten, now eleven, days and she had a dream that included the girl? She had a SEX dream including the girl? She had a SEX dream where the girl was the one that was... that was...

Shego tried to put it out of her mind. She knew what it was; she had been thinking about the physical attributes of any human body before she fell asleep. She had been thinking about sexualities and her own long-forgotten past experiences. But the woman just couldn't seem to figure out why she had dreamt of Kim.

With her degree in child development, she was required to take psychology courses, so she understood how the basic human mind worked. But there was nothing in those textbooks that ever covered why a person would have a specific type of dream about a specific person unless that person having those dreams was enamored in some-

Oh hell no!

Shego was not enamored with Kim. There was just no way that she was enamored with her arch nemesis. There was just no way that she was would be attracted to Kim. There was just no way that she would be infatuated with her princess-

Had she been calling Kim her princess?

Shego shook her head. She very carefully stood from the bed to make sure she didn't wake her pumpkin and started walking towards the bathroom. She knew that all she needed was a shower in order to cool her down.

She groaned and just blocked any notion out of her head that something like that dream would have gotten to her so much. She went to the clothing cabinet and grabbed some new pants and a new shirt and went off to take a shower.

XxXxX

Kim slowly started to wake up. She was groggy but she smiled. She felt refreshed. She sleepily got out of bed and stretched a little when she stood up. She looked at the clock and noticed that it was only eight fifteen in the morning. She typically found herself sleeping in until around nine o'clock but that was usually because her current companion was keeping her warm in bed.

With her mind still half awake, she didn't even think to check if Shego was in the kitchen. She simply grabbed a towel off of the shelf of the open linen cabinet and started towards the bathroom. She reached for the doorknob. Carefully, she opened the door so that she wouldn't fall into the bathroom as she had done on previous days.

She stepped into the bathroom and then looked up only for a large blush to form on her cheeks.

Shego was in the shower, washing the soap out of her long hair. Then the woman started to cleanse her body with a cloth and some soap. She didn't hear or see Kimmie as the girl was frozen there, staring at the other woman. Unconsciously, Kim spoke aloud.

"I knew she was beautiful... But that's simply an understatement..."

Shego looked up to see Kim starting to back out of the bathroom.

"Kimmie! What the hell are you doing!" Shego yelled and grabbed for her towel to cover herself.

"I'm sorry! I didn't know you were in here!"

"The hell you didn't! Get out!"

"I'm sorry! I just woke up! I'm sorry!" Kim ran out of the bathroom just as Shego lit up her hand to threaten the young woman.

Kim ran into small library closet and quickly shut the door before sliding down to the floor and sitting there absolutely terrified that she had upset Shego. She hadn't heard the shower because of how groggy she was but there was no way that the thief was going to believe that... Tears began to streak down Kim's cheek. The last thing that she wanted to do was to upset Shego, not because she was afraid of getting hurt, but because she had just gotten the pale woman to open up to her. She didn't want to lose the small connection that she had made with Shego. She didn't want to lose the respect that her "crush" had for her.

Shego on the other hand was finishing up her shower, angry but not for the reason that Kim thought; Shego was fuming because she didn't get to finish her shower in peace as she had hoped. She had hoped for just a few more minutes alone so that she could sort out her tension. She then thought about what she was thinking. She thought about how she had reacted and what she had said. She and Kim had just started communicating. They finally felt comfortable enough to act as though Shego had never gotten hit that last time with the attitudinator. She didn't know why, but the thief didn't want to lose this connection. She didn't know why, but she didn't care why. This time she wasn't thinking about it. She wanted to keep this connection and she always took what she wanted. But... With the way that she acted, she doubted that the girl would want to talk with her again.

"Oh no..."

----------------

To be continued in Ch. 4

Wasn't that strange kids? Shego was having a sex dream about Kim. After only ten days of having civil conversation with her? That couldn't be the case. But who says that they've only really talked with each other for those ten days. They've known each other for eight years now.

Next Time: What will the pair do about the incident in the shower? What will Shego do about her aching and what will Kim do with her new found knowledge of just how gorgeous Shego is?
