Chapter 2

Peaceful Waterfall

Down by the waterfall of Edenia, the three ninja women, still having on their iconic ninja outfits, are under the water, bathing themselves in it while meditating. Jade has suggested this kind of thing as a way of relaxing since she and Kitana do it all the time. And now Mileena gets to experience it as well.

Neither of them minded that their outfits are getting wet, for as they will dry under the hot sun in due time when they get out. But for now, they are at peace with the calming, cool water that is music to their ears.

"Can you feel it?" Jade asks, her accent being so soothing and gentle to both Kitana and Mileena's ears, despite the sound of the water.

"Yes...I can~" Mileena says. "I feel so peaceful...so relaxed. You're right, Jade."

"That's my Jade," Kitana says. "Nothing beats the relaxation under a waterfall."

Jade nods in agreement. "It clears your mind, helps you focus a lot better. That's what I learned."

Mileena sighs with bliss under her mask, breathing in and out slowly. "I wish we could stay like this forever. The three of us."

"I wish we could, too," Kitana says. "But there comes a time when we just have to stop. But...we've been here for about an hour. A few more minutes should do, right?"

"Absolutely," Jade replies.

And just as they promised, they got out of the water a few minutes later and now they have to rely on the sun's heat to dry them off, so in the meantime, they decide to take a long walk. Kitana in the middle, Mileena at the right and Jade at the left, holding hands as they go. They've been girlfriends for a while now and their love has been stronger than before, especially since Mileeena is on the good side. Kitana looks back and forth at her two girlfriends, seeing their smiles under their masks as well as them seeing Kitana's own smile.

Their skin shines from the sunlight due to them being wet, but they don't care. All they can see is how sexy they are from the contrast of the lighting the sun's rays are pointing. But what stands out the most is Jade's carmel skin, the way her thighs shine from the sun next to her thigh high boots as well as other places, including her breasts. Kitana cannot help but glance at Jade every now and then with Mileena giggling at her big sister.

"What a perv~" Mileena jokes.

"Hey!" Kitana says. "That's mean!"

"Then why were you staring at Jade Baby with those eyes of a perverted geek, hmm~?" the pink clad woman teases.

"By the Elder Gods, such words!" Jade gasps.

"I'm free to speak, so what?" Mileena shrugs. "Sis is like that just now~"

"Th-that doesn't mean you have to blurt it out!" Kitana argues.

"Too late!" Mileena sings.

"Girls, girls, please~" Jade can't help but laugh at their silly argument. "We're alone and it's alright if Kitana's like that. She has a hidden side for a reason, you know."

"Yeah, just because she's a princess doesn't mean she can't also be a little perverted," Mileena chuckles.

"That's right," Jade winks.

Kitana shakes her head in dismay and puts her hands on her hips. "Mileena, you got to stop making these silly comments."

"Make me~!" Mileena starts to run ahead with Kitana following after.

"Don't run away from me!" the blue clad ninja shouts. "You have to be disciplined, you hear!?"

Mileena laughs as she is being chased around and around by her older sister and Jade just sighs in dismay, crossing her arms under her large bosom, shaking her head. These two need to be disciplined for sure. They are acting childish right now, even though they are in a large forest just a little ways from the waterfall. However, the heat from the sun dries them off fairly quickly just from running around, but Jade remains wet. When both of them get tired and stop to catch their breath, they turn to their green clad girlfriend, staring at her shiny tanned skin all over, including the glitter from her boots.

"What?" Jade asks.

"So…beautiful…!" both Kitana and Mileena swoon, looking up and down at their girlfriend's appearance.

"B-By the Elder Gods, you are BOTH perverts!" Jade cries.

**Later**

By the time the three of them are dried off, they decide to go home to the palace and rest for a little bit. As soon as they open the double doors to Kitana's main chambers, Mileena flops onto the bed, face down on the soft sheets. Jade sits by her side, petting her like a puppy.

"It'll start to get dark soon. We've been running around outside for a long time," the tanned woman says.

"How about all of us bathe at the same time?" Kitana suggests. "You know all of us can fit in one shower, you know?"

Mileena immediately raises her head in excitement. "I agree with Sis! Let's all take a bath, Jade Baby!"

Jade sighs softly and nods her head. "Sure, why not?"

After the three of them strip off their clothing, Kitana turns on the shower and they head inside, letting the warm water touch their bodies like a warm blanket. In the meantime, Kitana hugs Jade from behind, nuzzling against her while her large breasts press against her back. Mileena hugs the tanned woman in the front, making a slight gentle sandwich in between Jade. A nuzzle or two before Kitana gently turns Jade to face her to lock lips into hers. Jade moans into the kiss, letting her girlfriend insert her tongue inside her mouth, caressing hers in the process with soft moans coming from both of them. Mileena hugs Jade tightly while hearing the moans of her two girlfriends just for a couple minutes before she can feel Jade pull away and then tip her chin to her level. Both she and Mileena kiss passionately while Kitana hugs her tanned beloved tightly. The make out session and simple cuddles last for a good half-hour while staying warm in the shower before the three ninjas help each other bathe for real before getting out, drying off and putting on negligee of their respective colors. They climb into bed with Kitana in the middle, Jade on the right, Mileena on the left, snuggling close to her. Kitana smiles and Jade turns off the light. The three ninjas in love get a good night sleep shortly after.

**Next Day**

"You're running errands?" Mileena asks.

"Yes," Jade replies. "Kitana wants me to get a few things."

"And I have to stay here in this room?"

"Possibly," Jade says as she pets her like a puppy. "Kitana should be back from her duties in a half-hour. Don't worry. You won't be too lonely."

"If you say so," Mileena sighs as she plops down on the large bed. "See ya, Jade Baby."

"I'll be back, I promise."

With a wave of good-bye, Jade leaves the room and exits the palace shortly after. Mileena looks out the window where Jade is walking down the path away from the home of Princess Kitana. The doors open and Kitana comes in to notice her little sister looking out the window with a lonely expression on her face. She comes behind the pink clad woman to hug her from behind with Mileena closing her eyes, relaxing right away from the gentle touch of her elder sister.

"Sis…" she sighs with bliss.

"Is Jade gone already?" Kitana asks.

"Yes, she just left," Mileena answers.

"I see. Well, we can wait for her return together. I'll be there for you."

"Thanks, Sis."

**Meanwhile**

Down toward the supermarket, Jade is on her way to pick up the items Kitana requested. She found the ones she's looking for, but one of them is already sold out. However, an idea pops in her head. The Edenian fruit that Kitana asked for is in the same exact forest they walked through when they were leaving the water fall. She exits town and down toward the large forest to look for the fruit on the trees that grew recently. She finds them easily when she steps foot inside the forest and picks out 4 of the special fruit, putting them inside her bag. Feeling accomplished, she turns to head back toward her home.

However, a dark portal appears in front of her and out comes 3 Baraka, having their pointed blades ready.

"Ugh…it's you again…" she mutters. She drops her bag and pulls out her Bojitsu staff, spinning it around. "Don't you guys learn to give up?"

The Baraka charge at her. Jade puts down her staff and performs a spinning kick to kick those around her who are about to attack. They fall to the ground but roll back up, growling. One of them charges at her while having his blade ready to stab her. She parries that attack with her staff, kicks him upward, then hits him with her staff back and forth before performing a quick shadow kick to the chest, sending him flying about 10 feet back. She then takes out her sharp razor, aims it at the weakened Baraka, beheads him with it with perfect aim and it comes back to her like a boomerang.

The other two Baraka growl and charge at her. Jade fights with everything she has. She swings her staff at them, kicks and punches them up, down, back and forth and diagonally. She even swings her staff downward to trip them. She uses her razor to cut them in the arm, leg and then the side. She kicks one of them back to create distance. She aims her razor at one of them, beheads him yet again and it comes back to her. She then uses it to cut the last Baraka to smithereens, arms gone and sticks the sharp point to his neck and slits his throat with it. She kicks him down and stomps on his head with her heel, killing him instantly.

She huffs as her staff shrinks. "Who in the world would send these creatures?"

Another portal opens and a couple more Baraka appear. Jade sighs and prepares for battle.

"Who sent you!?" Jade shouts. "Answer me!"

The Baraka just growl in response and charge at her with their pointed blades. Jade spins around, vanishing to thin air, making the Baraka stop and look around in confusion. Once Jade appears again, all the Baraka could see is her foot coming in contact with their faces, getting kicked hard and sent flying about 10 feet in the air and hitting the ground hard. Jade aims her razor at one of them struggling to get up, beheads him and it returns to her in an instant. She charges at the last Baraka, hitting him with her staff in the face, jabs him in the chest and then performs another shadow kick, sending him toward the tree. She takes out her razor and puts the sharp point close to his neck, having her face close to his.

"Tell me!" Jade demands. "Who sent you!?"

The Baraka just growls.

"You won't answer? Then, you leave me no choice." Putting the razor away, she lifts him up and hits him up high with her staff, slams it down to have one end pointed directly at the sky. She then jumps and pounds him down hard just to have him be pierced by the staff on the ground, killing him instantly. She lands on her feet and spins him around while holding her razor to cut off his limbs and head in the process. She chuckles as she picks up the Baraka head and slams it on the staff, posing it as a trophy for her. "Too easy~" she chuckles.

"I beg to differ!" a familiar voice calls from behind.

Jade swiftly turns toward another tanned woman, but with short hair, the same length as Mileena's and wearing yellow attire. This woman's smile greets her.

"It's you…" Jade grits her teeth in anger.

"The one and only," Tanya says.

"Were YOU the one who sent those fiends?" Jade asks.

"Thank Quan Chi for that," the short haired tanned woman says. "It's just to soften you up so I can finish the job. But…" She looks around to the dead Tarkakans lying on the ground all shredded up and beaten. "Those are just too stupid to even know how to kill."

"What do you want? What does Quan Chi want?" Jade demands.

"Oh, I think you already know the answer to that," Tanya says. "But let me answer you anyways: it's one of your beloveds. I want her back on my side. Quan Chi has some big plans later on."

"What plans?"

"I want to rule over Edenia," Tanya answers as she holds her hands up in the air. "And invade it with as many Baraka as possible thanks to Quan Chi's sorcery! You and that Princess Kitana have been in my way for far too long!"

"You really are a traitor!" Jade says.

"Indeed I am," Tanya says. "Now surrender to me or be destroyed!" She takes out her Kobu Jutsu blades.

"I shall destroy you instead!" Jade takes out her Bojitsu staff, spins it around and slams it on the ground. "This ends here, Tanya!"

A/N: Honestly, I kinda like Quan Chi, mostly cause of his voice. I-I mean, he's evil, but what's not to like from his voice? XD I'm just being crazy, I know. XD

Jade has battled Baraka before in MK9 and the trailer for MK 11 has her battle Baraka as well, so why not do it here? I also love the rivalry between Jade and Tanya.

Sorry for the super late update. It's been on my mind for a long time and I wanted to find the right moment to place it here.

Long and detailed reviews please!

Have a nice day~!
