Chapter One: Demon of Black and Gold

Scorpion POV:

I was walking in the Outworld when I was assaulted by Baraka and some of his men. He said, "Oh look, Scorpion! How much money do you think I would get for his head?" His men started laughing, meanwhile I flame-ported behind Baraka and sliced off his hand and walked on, leaving him in a pool of his own blood with his men fleeing. I continued on until I found a place that seemed safe enough for me to rest for the night. I felt as if I was being watched, and I found nobody so I continued on until I found a house with Baraka and an... attractive female looking out of her window, so I inspected.

Mileena POV:

I woke up in the middle of the night feeling strange, so I walked to my window still half-asleep when I saw Baraka running from someone, or something. I waited for his inevitable arrival at my door and answered the door, I didn't expect to get blood on my carpet. "Mileena I didn't mean to disturb you but me and my men were assaulted by a man- I think..." he said. I replied lazily, "Where are your men then?" If this was his way of trying to get into my house I really didn't see this succeeding. "Well, you see they were uh..." I shut the door in his face, and went back to bed. Feeling as if I was being watched... I went to look out my window and saw a shadow of a man, then it disappeared and I grabbed my sais and slept with them in hand.

Nobody POV:

Scorpion slept on Mileena's roof for the night, still puzzled why he felt an emotion towards her. Meanwhile, Mileena was in the kitchen eating breakfast, when she heard a crash outside her house. She had a puzzled and frightened expression on her face as she went to look for the source of the noise. Scorpion had fallen off the roof in his sleep and was disoriented. When he looked up he saw an angry Mileena in her night gown with a sai at his forehead. Mileena saw him and her angry eyes turned a bit more fragile as she offered her hand to help him up. He grabbed her hand and lifted himself up. She looked into his eyes as Scorpion disregarded this emotion he had not put his finger on yet. She quickly looked away and blushed. He said, "Thank you." Kindly and then walked away from her house and entered the woods. Leaving a very entranced Mileena at her front door looking at where this, Demon of Black and Gold, left into the woods.
