Kung Lao's P.O.V
I couldn't sleep much last night thinking of Mileena. Everywhere I turned she was there, telling me she liked me back and I was meant for her. I looked up at the Edenian sky, speckles of gold and yellow bouncing around and making my eyes marvel at the beauty. I was sure going to miss it here, but maybe Liu Kang would let me come with him every once in a while to check on Mileena.
"What are you doing out here alone monk boy?" the angelic voice asked. I looked up and Mileena was looming above my face, her eyes directly on mine, her face merely inches from mine. She had her pink veil covering her teeth, but her eyes showed playfulness.
"What's a beauty like you doing here alone?" I question, my tone of voice sounding playful and loving.
"I just want to train. Kitana and I are going out to Earthrealm to help clean up there" she replied innocently, sprawling across the ground next to me like a sadistic cat. I looked over at her, and she was dressed more scantily than ever.
Her hair was tied into a high pony tail, a tight gold chocker around her neck helping the pink see-through silk stay in place over her breast. She had gold bandages along her arms and a black strap that ran along her waist down to her most private area. More pink see-through silk 'covered' that area, along with another black strap along the beginning of the bottom. Long drape like pink silk dangled from her wrist to her bikini line as Earthrealmers call it. Light pink boots with gold wrapped around them donned her feet, and along the boots were her holsters for her sai.
I marveled the woman, not for her body, but for her all together. She had no shyness, she was aware she was half-naked and she knew how to fend herself from perverts.
"May I come with you and help?" I asked, hoping she didn't notice me staring at her too long.
"Of course, there's always room for help" she replied, and I could've sworn she winked at me, although she could've blinked, but I'll take it as a wink. I nodded and stood up, offering my hand to help her up but she pulled me back down.
"Relax Kung Lao, we'll go soon, but for now, just relax" she said soothingly. I closed my eyes, thinking of her in so many ways. I shook my head and leaned over to Mileena, her bright orange eyes locked on mine.
"Mileena…" I began, her attention now focused on me.
"Yes monk boy?" she asked, tilting her head with her question. Elder Gods she looked so cute with her head tilted! I just wanted to grab her and kiss her everywhere.
"Lord Raiden has told me he wants me to watch over you and help with your anger…" I trailed off, hoping she wouldn't take it the wrong way. Her eye twitched for a moment and she let out a sigh.
"He told me he was going to assign someone to me, I just didn't know who" she replied, now turned over on her stomach.
"Don't think of it as assigned, I would talk to you anyways" I told her reassuringly. Her orange eyes lit up in happiness and she softly gasped.
"Well, I don't know where the anger comes from... I start thinking and then I feel ugly and then I rage out and kill someone or something" she explained, her focus entirely on me.
"Hmm, maybe you should stop feeling ugly" I suggested, a small smile on my face. She chuckled softly and shook her head, now putting her veil away.
"Kung Lao," she began, "not many people will love me with this" she said, pointing to her teeth. I looked her teeth over and felt a surge of love from her talking to me of her insecurity, my body now giving me her full attention.
"Well, it takes time getting used to. Mileena, you are beautiful, you just don't feel so because of your visage" I replied, softly moving her hair out of her eyes. There was no emotion in her eyes, but I did see her fingers shake some.
"You think I'm beautiful?" she asked in awe. I nodded and removed my hat, pulling out a red tulip and hanging it to her.
"Everyone has beauty, inner or outer. You have both in my opinion, just like this tulip" I said soothingly. She crawled over to me and sat next to me, her eyes focused on the flower. I took the flower and pulled out two more from the hat, placing one in her hair and wrapping the other two around her sai.
"Kung Lao…" she gasped, admiring the flowers and looking back at me. I saw her cheeks turn a rosy pink and smiled at her, standing up and dusting myself off.
"To Kitana's palace?" I asked and lifted her up.
"Y-Yes…" she sputtered. I nodded and walked beside her, asking her questions and smiling at her bright red cheeks.
Mileena's P.O.V
I looked at the Shaolin Monk in surprise. He was actually talking to me, not backing away because of my teeth. I wanted to trust him, but half of me told me he was just trying to sleep with me.
He was asking a lot of questions, like my favorite color, favorite number, things I like to do, things I like to eat. I smiled internally at this monk, giggling at his questions and silly stories.
We walked up to the palace and I found Kitana sitting alone on the steps. I nodded to Kung Lao, indicating him to stay put.
"Kit?" I asked sweetly, my hands behind my back. Her brown eyes glanced over at me and she smiled.
"What are you doing up so early?" she scorned playfully.
"I could ask you the same. I was looking for a new playmate" I replied back. She raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.
"Did you find one?" she asked walking toward me. I nodded and she smiled. I motioned over to Kung Lao, who stood next to me in a protective manner.
"Can, he come with us?" I asked in my best little girl voice, batting my eyelashes and quivering my lip. Kitana nodded and I jumped for joy.
"C'mon, I want to show you something" Kung Lao whispered. I looked back at Kitana and followed like a puppy.
Kitana's P.O.V
I watched the two run off and smiled to myself as Liu came next to me and kissed my cheek. I looked over at him and giggled at his puzzled face seeing Mileena and Kung Lao be next to one another.
"What is that?" he asked pointing at them. I giggled and traced his inner bicep with my fingers.
"Liu, what you are seeing is the first stage of love. Either Mileena has a crush on Kung Lao, or Kung Lao has a crush on Mileena" I stated.
"But, they aren't a likely pair" he stammered. I shrugged and watched Kung Lao take Mileena's hand, both of their auras swirling in the air. Since my powers were air related, I could listen to their auras while they were in mid-air.
"Your aura is dark pink Mileena, are you stressing?" Kung Lao asked. I looked up and saw a wisp of dark pink and a wisp of light blue tangling with each other.
"No, I feel fine. I just, wonder how long this will last" Mileena responded.
"What will last?" asked Kung Lao. Mileena's aura changed to a light pink and she sighed softly.
"This. Our friendship Kung Lao. We've been friends for now almost four years… one day you won't want to be my friend anymore" Mileena expressed. That was true; right after Mileena was sentenced to help clean Edenia, Kung Lao and her became instant friends.
"One day it will end, but for a better cause. Sometimes friendships end for safety, or because they become more than friendships" Kung Lao responded. I smiled softly as Mileena's aura became bright pink, indicating happiness.
"Kung Lao seems to really chill Mileena down" Jade replied, looking at each of us. Jade and Kung Lao used to be a thing, but then Kung Lao was wounded severely and Smoke came to their aid. He stole Jade's heart so Jade and Kung Lao became good friends.
"He really does…" I trailed off, watching my sister hug him tightly. He made her happy, and if he left, she'd kill everyone.
Sonya's P.O.V
I watched our progress on Earth and sighed. Sure, the broken things and pile of debris were gone, but we made slow progress. Most of my men were working themselves to death trying to clean and I had to send some of them home.
"Goodnight Sonya," one of them called, walking out of the base and going home. I nodded and closed my eyes, placing both of my hands behind my head and kicking my legs up. I took in a breath of air and smelled hairspray and sweat, already knowing who had entered.
"C'mon Babe," Johnny pleaded, his brown eyes tearing into my blue ones.
"What time is it?" I asked, my eyebrow raised in suspense. Johnny looked down at his watch and looked up at me.
"9:45," he replied. I nodded and got up from my desk, his hand slipping in mine.
"I've got something to show you" he whispered and led me outside. I opened my eyes and saw my main allies standing in front of me, Earth looking more beautiful than ever.
"We figured you weren't very happy with how things were progressing," Smoke started.
"So we brought help from Edenia and fixed this place up" Mileena finished, standing close to Kung Lao. I tilted my head seeing the two so close; they were such an unlikely pair. Kitana says they're just friends so I shrugged.
"How?" I asked. Mileena giggled and I watched as she focused her finger toward a pile of garbage. I squinted and saw a mystical pink aura that circled around the garbage and burned it to shreds.
"That's pretty awesome" Johnny replied. I smiled to myself and hugged Johnny tightly. Johnny was going to be gone for 3 months due to another movie being made and today was our last day. I looked at what I call my friends and smiled softly, seeing the Earth saved yet again by the good.
Mileena's P.O.V
I stood next to Kung Lao and smiled, this time in my eyes. Kitana rushed over to me and had a half smile on her face.
"Mileena, the palace in Edenia is being reconstructed…" she whispered to me. I looked at her with confusion as she smiled brightly this time.
"We are making room for another bedroom for you and a loved one…" she continued. I blushed softly and nodded.
"So, I think it is best for you to stay in Earthrealm. Just until it is finished" she finished, looking for a sign of emotion in my eyes. I just nodded and walked over to Sonya, my best puppy dog eyes in play.
"Sonya, the Edenian palace is being reconstructed and Johnny is leaving so may I stay with you?" I asked sweetly. Sonya chuckled and nodded at my question, giving me a piece of paper with the address of her apartment number on it. I looked back over at Kung Lao and blushed, mentally kicking myself for what I was about to ask.
"C-Can Kung Lao come too?" I asked again. I felt all eyes on me and I sensed a smirk growing on everyone's face.
"Sure, you two take your things and I'll meet you up there to discuss ground rules" she replied. With an uncontrollable smile, I jumped in the air and teleported to Edenia, grabbing all of my things and teleporting back to Earthrealm. I walked over to Kung Lao and winked, carrying all of my things and walking toward the apartment.
"Catch you there" I said and walked away slowly, a hint of flirt in my voice.
Kung Lao's P.O.V
This day just keeps getting better. For the next three months, I'll be spending time with Mileena daily. Maybe then the Elder Gods will let her live on Earthrealm with me and we can stay together.
I smiled softly and followed behind her, my mind placing images of her with me. She was going to get her mouth sooner or later, I just hope she doesn't break my heart afterwards.
