Hours later

I paced the room. Why did Bi-Han act like that...I barely knew him anyway. He didn't know me either. I was pissed. I flung myself on the bed and wondered what he was thinking. Is he playing with my emotions? Is he jealous? Is he stupid? I let out a big sigh and pressed a pillow against my face. I was probably missing the tournament. I had to go. I would not let Bi-Han Treat me like this. I got ready and headed towards the tournament. I walked around the corner to come face to face with Bi-Han.

"Oh, Hello?" I hissed. He looked at me coldly.

"Don't act like that." He whispered harshly.

"Don't act like what? Like a reasonable person, who got her feelings messed with not only once but twice." I whispered back harshly.

"I didn't mean to..." He said as I brushed past him. He grabbed me and pushed me against the wall.

"Yeah let's do this again Bi-" I said as he covered my mouth. I glared at him past his cold hands. I wanted to punch him...but when he kissed me I felt an icy chill. that made every inch of my body cling to him.

"Come on, I'll explain."He said grabbing my wrist and tugging me in the opposite direction of where i was heading.

"Bi-Han, let go of me" I whispered as tears streamed down my face.

"No you have to know the truth..before..." He trailed off.

"Before what?" I snapped, he flung open a door and pulled me in. "Bi-Han, explain?"

"OK" he whispered pulling me closer. "Scorpion is not human, he is a demon. My brother Tundra killed his family. I am guilty by association." He said lifting my chin.

"Oh" I said pushing my self away from him. "I think I understand, but that doesn't explain what is happening between us" I said pointing back and forth between me and him.

"I still don't know about that part." He said scratching his head. "I have a lot on my plate."

"Oh, and I don't!" I snapped. He put his hands up in defense.

"I like you..." He said grabbing my waist. "but i don't want you to get hurt." He said softly putting his head against mine.

"Well, you don't have to worry about that." I said with tears streaming down my face.

"Tiffany, I know that soon me and Scorpion will get in an altercation...and I don't know how it will turn out." He said wiping the tears from my face.

"Maybe I can talk to him Bi-han." I sighed.

"I don't think that will work but you are more than welcome to try." He said softly.

"Bi-han, you don't have to act like my protector. I can handle my self. I think it is my turn to protect you." I Said putting my hand on his cheek. I pulled down his mask and kissed him gently. Pushed me closer and kissed me passionately. I felt goosebumps travel over every inch of my body. He pushed me against a wall and the started kissing my neck. I shivered as he blew as he gently moved my shirt to expose my shoulder. He kissed my lips gently as I wrapped my arms and legs around him. He placed his hands on my back and carried me to the bed. He laid me softly down on the bed as I let go. He smiled.

"Are you sure?" He whispered as he took part of his outfit off. I nodded as his bare chest was showing I bit my lip as he turned off the light. I giggled as he got on top of me. I bit his lip softly as he leaned down to kiss me. I could feel his hands removing my shirt. I placed my hands on his back. I shivered as I ran my fingers down his back. He started kissing my neck again and bit softly. I ran my hand up to the back of his head and started removing his mask. He sat up and pulled me on top of him I smiled as I felt him throw a blanket around my now bare back. He pressed me against him as he kissed my neck again. I felt my skin against him I gasped at how cold he was, but it felt good.

Three Hours later.

I laid my head against his chest as he wrapped his arm around me. I smiled as he rubbed my back.

"Tired?" He whispered.

"Yeah, You?" I giggled.

"Of course, you wore me out." he chuckled.

"I wasn't the only one doing anything." I said moving my hand under his back.

"Yeah I know."He yawned. I smiled and curled up closer and fell asleep.

The next morning

I opened my eyes and looked up at him. He smiled and moved a stray of hair from my face.

"Hey" he whispered.

"Hey" I said as he leaned down to kiss me. I smiled and kissed him back.

"Hey, Sub-zero..." Someone said from the door. "Really Sub-zero?"

"Sektor..."Bi-Han said sitting up.

"No, you sleep with her...She was all over Scorpion."Secktor snapped.

"She is with us" Bi-Han sighed..

"Wait why does it matter. I didn't sleep with Scorpion. I just was"Secktor cut me off.

"Shut up, no one was talking to you."He bellowed.

"Excuse" I said as Bi-Han cut me off.

"Quiet both of you." He snapped.

"Sub-zero if you want to sleep with a who're, be my guest." Sector said walking out. Bi-Han got up and started getting dressed.

"Bi-Han" I whispered.

"You should go." He snapped.

"Fine" I sighed as I got up and started getting dressed. He left quickly and slammed the door behind him. I opened the door slowly and walked into the hall. I slowly turned a corner looking at my feet.

"So it is true, you are here at last." Someone said from behind me. I turned to see a pale looking man with red tattoos. " I am Quan Chi, and I think it's time you come with me." He said grabbing me. I felt every muscle in my body becoming tense and weak. He smiled as I fell to the ground. I struggled to look at him. He snapped his finger and a green portal popped up beside me. He grabbed me by the hair and threw me into it.
