TAMING SHEGO
PART 11
Chapter 21
"What the hell am I paying you for?" The bald, rotund man blurted out of the blue upon the entrance of the blond female to his own villa by the sea. He was wearing a deep scowl on his face that he could be mistaken as the smaller and fatter version of incredible hulk minus the green skin.
"Will you relax? I'm doing my everything and it's not as if I'm slacking off on my job, and puhlease! You're not paying me that much to put that tone on me!"
"I am paying you so I can use whatever tone I want! And for your information dear," he said stressing the word dear by mixing something sweet and vile to the word, "…in two days, their damn honeymoon is ending and it seems that instead of breaking them up you are making them bonded more!"
The blond woman stood up and menacingly strode closer to the bald man. She leaned forward and grazed her long, sharp nail on his rounded face, her eyes were dangerously focused on him causing him to sweat more especially on the face. He gulped as the woman leaned much closer and whispered to his ear, "I could just ditch this job you so fondly called if not for the fact that I can exact my revenge on Kim Possible. Now, how about you cool down and I go relax." She straightened up, "Those two just gave my nerves the work up, I haven't been this irked in my entire life and I swear, one more nasty word from you, and I promise…bye bye money, bye bye reputation." She said before finally walking away from the man who seemed to have caught his nasty tongue.
You'll see who you are talking to when this is over and done with…The bald lawyer snarled softly, "Camille…" then he turned around and head to his room.

(Flash back)
"So you were saying that Tara isn't Tara?" Shego asked the red headed woman who was lying on her stomach on a beach chair while she was relaxing on the one beside it, a tropical fruit drink in hand. A large beach umbrella protects the two women from the sun's direct hit. Though it really won't matter to the green skinned female, but the red headed burns easily under the sun hence it was more for the younger woman.
"We've been through this yesterday Shego,"
"You never gave me a clear cut answer pumpkin,"
The red head sighed and faced the other woman, "I don't think it was Tara."
"How the hell can you tell? Are you really that close to that Tara to tell the difference?" Kim smiled triumphantly, "…and what the hell was that smile for?"
"You're getting jealous again Shego, if you do that more I will think that you actually want me more than you dare to show."
"Fuck you Princess!"
"As if I won't love it,"
"PUMPKIN!"
"Okay!" Kim turned so that she was now mimicking Shego's posture on the bench, "Look Tara was my first and she was also the longest affair I had…"
"I thought all your exes were male?" Shego said frowning,
"Oh true, but Tara was my secret relationship."
"Secret? You who can do anything got into a closeted relationship with another female?" Shego said smirking thinking that she did gave back Kim's smarminess.
"I wouldn't have let it but Tara was a closet." Kim sighed, "And that's also one reason why I think something is wrong with the Tara we met.
Silence
"If she was closeted and no one knew about your relationship and if that woman is not Tara and someone impersonating her, then how did she know about your relation?" Shego asked without looking at the red head,
"Beats me, it's not as if I am interested to getting back with her anyway." Kim smiled and hurriedly took the only tropical fruit punch on the table that Shego just put there and drank it away.
"HEY ORDER YOUR OWN!"
"Where's the fun in that?"
"GRRRRRR…"
"Come on, it wouldn't be kissing if we drink on separate glasses!"
"POSSIBLE!"
"Okay I'll be good!" Kim said returning the punch glass but grinned when the older woman noticed how much the red head had drunk.
"I'm ordering again and you'll pay for it this time."
"Sure…put that as a rain-check,"
"What?"
"What do you mean what? You think I already have Mr. Kinston money with me?"
Shego shook her head but waved for a waiter who came. She put another order, this time she ordered for two glasses and when the guy left, Shego turned her focus on Kim once again, "You said her being open was one of the reason, what's the other one?"
Kim smiled, "Tara hates the theater. Her parents wanted her to take theater arts and make it big on the big apple, but she wasn't into acting or singing, she'd rather be a gym teacher teaching gymnastics and cheer leading, the last I heard from a not so close friend of mine, Tara did take theater arts for a year and when her mother died she decided to pursue on Education major in Physical Ed." Kim looked at Shego, "And I know my friend isn't lying because she is currently in relation with her…"
"So her saying she was with Reynald was a farce?"
"Yeah, if that Tara isn't real, whoever was impersonating her didn't dig deep. The last guy relationship she has was Josh and that was just a cover up for the two of them. The only thing they got right was her being interested in me."
"You don't think she was just lying now?"
"Oh she maybe just lying, but as to why I have no idea unless…" Kim took a deep breath, let it out before speaking again, "…unless she heard of the money and she wants it."
"Or that bald lawyer talked her into getting you."
"I know Tara though, she maybe a closeted lesbian but she isn't greedy with money, so between the two options, I'll go with the first."
Silence
"So what do we do?" Shego asked.
Kim looked at the older woman, "Why ask me? You're the evil one right?"
Shego smirked, "It'll cost you."
"It's not as if you being here don't cost me any."
Shego's smirk gotten wider, "You know pumpkin, you're bantering skill is getting better lately."
Kim nodded in thanks, "You're just rubbing off on me,"
Shego was about to put a comeback remark but the waiter arrived with their drinks so the older woman just let it go. Once the waiter left, Shego leaned to the beach chair backrest and looked at Kim, "Well let me think about what we should do," she smiled, "But remember princess, all extras would be…"
"I know, I know," Kim sighed and took the old glass of fruit punch and sipped it slowly,
"I already ordered you your own punch pumpkin, don't worry, it's on me."
"I know, but I'll stick to my argument before, where's the fun in that?" Kim said smiling. Hey, if she was to pay Shego she could at least get something from it right?
"I didn't think you were such a pervert Possible,"
"Well…" Kim looked at Shego from head to toe and grinned, "I'm only human Shego and I'm not blind."
Shego was sipping her drink when Kim said that causing the woman to choke on her drink. What the fuck? Did pumpkin just admitted to the fact that I called her a pervert?
"Relax Shego, me admitting to being a pervert for you isn't the end of the world, jeez!" Kim said before sipping the old cup of punch that she now deemed as hers
Chapter 22
(Flashback Part 2)
Mission 1: I should probably give princess some break…We'll do it the natural way before getting extra romantic.
Kim and Shego were walking towards the docks where numerous, colorful boats that are run by engines were. They were expecting their guest as usual as it had been the norm for the past three days. It was nerve wrecking for the green skinned woman but she have to stop herself or gave in to her inner voice that kept on screaming the word "jealous" in her head. First off, she was only married to Kim in papers so there's no reason for getting jealous and second, she is SHEGO and SHEGO don't do jealous!
"Hey Kim," Tara greeted the red head woman brightly then she turned her attention to the smiling green skinned woman, "…and hello there Shego," Tara said Shego's name with disdain in her voice.
"I'm glad I am getting to you like that," Shego said with her fake smile then looked at Kim. Her smile changed to a genuine one, "What do you say about island hopping princess? The sun is good and I heard from the locals here that there were lots of great islands here and mostly are virgins!" Shego said the word virgin suggestively causing the red head to cough involuntarily.
"Kim are you alright?" Tara asked sweetly holding on to the red head
"Oh don't worry about princess she'll be alright, some virus just keeps popping around that's why the cough." Shego said eyeing the blonde woman before holding Kim's hand and pulling the smaller woman to her lightly.
"Are you implying something?"
Shego made a thinking face and looked at Tara, "Am I?" then she turned around and headed to where they were going.
"Do you want to come along Tara?" Kim asked the still seething woman whose frown was replaced by a smile then looked at Shego as if saying she upped the taller woman. The green skinned woman seemed to be unaffected though.
"We're not taking something that could ruin this chance pumpkin, if she can't carry her own damn weight, she should just stay and mope somewhere." Shego said without looking at the two younger women.
"I can carry my own weight thank you," Tara said while following the two.
Shego just shrugged her shoulders and she felt Kim nudge her. She looked at the red headed woman whose face bore the question: What is the plan? She then replied with her own facial expression that reads: Just leave it to me pumpkin.
And yes…they both got the meaning of those expressions.
Tara was watching the extraordinary exchange and didn't get how the two understood each other by just looking at each other's faces, as far as she was concern, they both have the same expression as before but she feels that something was already communicated… but how? She thought it must be between something about fighters. She might have some power but a fighter she is not. "So Kim where are we heading to?"
Kim looked back at Tara and shrugged her shoulders, "Shego thought of this gig, so I'm just tagging along."
Shego smiled and looked at the blonde woman, "And you are tagging on someone tagging along, isn't that pathetic?"
"Fuck you," Tara was livid, how dare this woman treat her so low? Doesn't she even know who I am?
"Oh I'm not interested…" Shego then looked at the blonde woman from head to toe and shook her head before shivering, "Ew…"
"YOU…"
"Shego behave will you?" Kim said stepping in between the two, then she looked at Tara, "Just ignore Shego please? If you want to really get along with me you should keep yourself calm and try to understand Shego. I am married to her anyway." Kim said seriously
"Sorry Kim it's just…"
"Blah-blah-blah," Shego said turning away from the two, "You blonde ditz was just using this time to rest, we got a mile more to walk before we reach our contact."
"A MILE MORE?" Tara's eyes were wide as saucers and Kim also looked at Shego before looking at the surrounding. Kim deduced that if they are to walk one more mile that would put them on another part of the island that doesn't have any docks. Kim smiled and shook her head
"I told you Kim, we are not letting someone who can't carry their weight along with us."
"I SO CAN CARRY MY WEIGHT!"
KSKSKS
The blonde woman was glaring dagger at the green skinned one who was seated beside Kim. The red head was resting her back on Shego's side while she watched the scene unfold before her eyes. But it wasn't the reason that the blonde wanted to kill Shego, Tara thought that Shego purposely walked far and far to the point of actually walking around the docks before getting there just to spite her, then add to it was the woman jumping on the wooden stairs that would bring her inside the boat and caused her to slip, her forehead hitting the wooden rail and the damn woman had the nerve to say sorry and offer her hand? And what more? Kim got snippy with her when she rudely declined the offer when in fact she knew for it to be fake?
Damn these women!
The island hopping was great. There were places in the whole island that sometimes the green skinned woman wished they were there instead of the very commercialized place they were placed in. She noted that and kept the thought for future references. Their last stop was in a privatized island that featured three kinds of caves. They paid and entered and started trekking to the first cave which they have to climb a hill. There were stair paths so it wasn't hard but it still was going up a slope so the ascent was slow, add to it Tara's constant whining. Then they reached the entrance to the cave which was actually a small opening and a wooden rounded stair can be seen. Shego went down first and she was met by a guide inside the cave. She said hello and declined the hand they offered. She was followed by Kim and the green skinned woman helped the red headed one.
The guide thinking that he is not needed left the women to go do his thing as there was a couple who needed his help. Then it was Tara's turn and Shego decided to lead Kim to an ensconced where very clear, blue-green water meets illuminating rocks. Kim was so excited she too forgot about the blond woman. Tara was frowning as she was left to fend for herself so without being careful she stepped on the rocky landing and slipped. Good thing she just landed on her rump.
"FUCK IT!" Tara screamed and Shego, Kim, the extra couple and the guide looked at the now fallen woman. The guide hurriedly came to the blonde's rescue and steadied her before leading her to where Kim and Shego were now sitting.
"Tara, are you alright?" Kim asked with concern
Tara took a deep breath and tried to ignore the smirk from the taller woman's face, "Yeah, my pride got hurt more than my…"
"Ass?"
"Shego!" Kim chastised which the older woman acceded.
"I can't believe she can actually curse 'fuck it' and yet can't say a simple word like ass." Shego mumbles
"Shego please?"
"I'm good, I'm good!" Shego said standing as Tara just sat on the cold rock giving her butt some relief.
"Where are you going?" Tara asked when she saw the green skinned woman climbing the big rocks towards the stairs
"Well there are two more caves and it's getting late; I want to get back to the villa before dinner duh?"
"Oh yeah!" Kim agreed and stood up but she stepped closer to Tara before climbing up, "You need a hand?"
Tara frowned, "No, I can get there myself!" She said huffing.
KSKSKS
The third cave was the last straw for Tara. It was almost night when they arrived there and the entrance to the third one was the smallest of the three caves, the adventurous duo went in and Tara had to tag along despite the warning they got. Shego and Kim were swimmers and divers, in their previous line of work, they needed to be able to move under water without the aid of any gadgets at times. So when they get in the water suddenly rushed inside and their only escape was to go swim to the larger opening on the other side. It wasn't a long dive, it would have been done for a minute even by an amateur diver…but Tara was not any of it.
The blonde woman panicked and Kim needed to rescue her.
When Shego asked Kim if she still wanted to stop on the last island before going home, the blonde woman started screaming at the two women about how they wanted to torment her and kill her so the three decided to return to their villa.
(At Kim and Shego's villa)
Kim was resting on Shego's side while the older woman was watching a movie. The red head looked at the older woman and smiled. "I had a great day, it was fun doing that island hopping thing."
Shego smiled, "I had fun too, well it would have been more fun if that blonde ditz wasn't there, but well…I still had fun and that's what counts."
"I agree,"
Silence
"And that made me think that Tara really isn't Tara."
"Why?"
"One thing, Tara is as athletic as me and she is the champion swimmer in our school."
Shego looked at Kim, "So we have an impostor huh?"
Kim nodded her head.
"So?"
"Well it seems Counselor West wants that money bad." Shego said and grinned, "May be we can play his game for a while more?"
Kim smiled, "Aren't we playing his game from the very start of this?"
No answer
"Shut up Kimmie and just go sleep."
"Yes sir!" Kim said happy that she once again upped Shego.
End Mission 1: Maybe, just maybe I do have a chance with Shego. She may not say it or show it, but if she was just playing this game then why was she hell bent on getting back with counselor west?
