Through Kayura's Eyes
By: Akurei Difficile

It's about time I decided to get a little more serious, and write more than my usual. In this fic. I'm racking my brains and am trying to assume the viewpoint of Kayura to see how she feels throughout the whole Dynasty thing.
AN: This does not directly correspond to the series....actually, it goes off on quite a limb...just thought you might need to know that, so that things do not get confusing if I make immense changes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kayura sat in her room looking into her mirror. Somehow she just knew she was forgetting something...like a piece of her life was missing. But how could that be? Master Talpa had given her everything. She trained night and day, and had thus became on of the best warriors he had. The Warlords frowned down at her every chance they got, but she knew they were just jealous. It was like the old times, when women could not amount to any level of respect or greatness. Ah, but she had proven them wrong, and they just couldn't accept that. Soon though, she would be given a chance to destroy the Ronin Warriors, that in itself was an immense honor, especially bestowed upon a woman. She laughed, turning away from her mirror. Oh, but it would be great to be rid of the Ronins...to show the Warlords what she could really do. Then she would be given a spot on the throne, next to Master Talpa. And when the moment pleased her, she would more than likely kill him as well. Somehow she felt that life had taught her not to be ruled about like a sock puppet...well, even though she didn't remember how that came to be, she knew she would never be a servant all her immortal life.
Her eyes crossed over the threshold to the window. From where she stood, Kayura could see all three of the NetherRealm moons. One day their surfaces would speak of her fate. But for now they remained quiet, impassive. Why waste her time on such nonsense. She knew that she would beat the Ronins. Their lives were gripped tightly within her hands. Soon, as soon as the Warlords finished messing up, that would be when she would wring the last bits of air from their lungs.
The faint tingling throughout her body told Kayura that Master Talpa was summoning her. Shutting her eyes, she felt the faint trickle of magic as her body crossed over the teleportation waves. Her particles slowly came back together as concentration led them to the Viewing Screen room.
Dark blue hair swept the ground as she kneeled low, only to rise to her feet once more. "I am here Master."
"Kayura...so nice of you to grace us with your presence," Anubis snarled.
"It only took you a whole millenia," Dais added in.
"Oh, so the dog and spider finally figured out how to talk. Do me a favor, plague some one else." Kayura glared at them, then refocused her attention to where Talpa would appear any minute.
"Looks like you two got told off," Sekhmet commented.
"By a female at that," Cale through in, exchanging smirks with Sekhmet.
'By the Fates, they are such children,' Kayura thought.
"Kayura, why don't you give yourself a break and let us men handle this." Anubis was oh so cunning...or so he thought.
'Warlords...Kayura...' Talpa appeared at his throne, this time in a solid body. 'You have argued long enough. How is it you can bicker as such, and yet you do not get the job done, my Warlords? It is past time for the Ronin Warriors to be dead.'
"Forgive us Master Talpa, but they are being aided by the Ancient," Anubis bowed his head low.
'That is no excuse. You have gotten rid of every other mortal the armors picked. These should prove no different, even with Chaos' help.'
"Give me another chance Master Talpa, I will not fail you," Dais said.
'No...you have had your chance. All of you have had your chance. It is Kayura's turn to prove herself.'
"Thank you Master Talpa, unlike the Warlords, I will return victorious." An evil grin descended to her lips.

Kayura laid back in the chair that resided within her chambers. She let her long hair hang down, as she plotted her attack on the Ronins. It was bound to be a simply marvelous day. With the Ronins out of the way, she and she alone would be Empress over the Dynasty. The Warlords would be taught a valuable lesson. Oh yes, they would learn to follow her every command. This would be the last time they would make a mockery of her gender. But first, she would rest...and then..then she would start the morning off with her victory.
