Well here we are once again. At least the semester is almost over. One more full week then a day the week after that. Weirdly my finals start on a Tuesday. Once that's done I'll have more free time. Free time doesn't exactly mean more writing though. It still depends on my mood.

Anyway onto chapter 6. I don't own anything, but Asami and Seto.

Black Magic

Asami slowly began to wake up. She saw the ceiling was a bit dark. She also saw a person, but her mind was still hazy from waking up to know who it was. She did see gray though.

"Tomas?" she mumbled.

"It's good see that you are awake, Asami." She heard his reply. "You were out for a couple of days."

"Thank you for saving me." Asami said. Smoke shook his head.

"You really need to thank Kuai Liang. He was the one who saw you were in trouble plus he froze your leg to stop you from bleeding to death. There was though a sacrifice needed to be made." Asami sat up and looked at her legs. She noticed that her skirt was gone and right leg was almost gone, save for a small part above her knee.

"I knew my leg couldn't be saved. I'm sorry that I failed everyone." Asami said.

"Do not worry Asami." Asami turned her head to see Sub-Zero, "The others went to go find something to help you." He walked to her with crutches. "We found these at a place called a hospital." There was a small smile on Asami's face as she took the crutches.

"Thank you for saving me." She said as she used the crutches to get out of the bed she was on. She then frowned.

"I was stupid for going into that battle recklessly." She said looking down at her leg. "I should have expected robotic weapons. Cyrax is not human anymore. I might not be able to help you guys any more." She felt a cold hand hit her shoulder she looked up at the cryomancer.

"Don't be ashamed." Sub-Zero said, "You fought with honor and did damage Cyrax quite a bit. Besides we would hate to lose a powerful ally. Tomas would be quite upset if you died. He likes you quite a bit." Surprised by the comment, Asami looked over at Smoke and saw the man trying to hide a blush. She herself blushed a bit as well. The woman didn't know Smoke liked her in that way. She didn't mind being friends with him.

"I'll admit," Asami's head turned back to Sub-Zero, "I have started to like you a bit too, not as much as Tomas though." Asami's blush got bigger. At this point she wasn't sure what to think. She then heard the door open and saw Jax walk in, carrying something.

"Well," He said, "Nice to see that you are awake. Sonya and I went back to the Special Forces and got this for you."

"A metal leg." Asami stated.

"Yeah. I'm going to get this on you. This will be a painful process, and I should know that fact better than anyone."

"I'll do it." Asami said, "I want to be able to walk on my own power."

"Before I get started though," Jax set the metal leg down, "I need for you to answer something for me. When we were trying to replenish the blood that you lost, we found that your blood was not human. Care to explain that?" Asami sighed and sat down on the bed.

"I'm not human," She stated. "My parents were not human. Not even the man who gave me his cursed blood."

"Cursed blood?" Smoke said.

"There is a man by the name of Draken." She continued, "He's an evil man that manipulated my parents, he messed with the DNA in my mom's eggs. Good thing my brother was born long before me, because he would be even worse off. There is though, one more who shares the curse of Draken. A man by the name of Seto. He loves to call me his sister, but we are not siblings."

"So you are not human." Sub-Zero mumbled.

"I hope that this doesn't change a thing." Asami said looking down. She felt a pair of arms hug her. She lifted her head up to see Smoke now at eye-level.

"Asami," He pulled down his mask to reveal to her the lower half of his face, "This doesn't change a thing." He then gave Asami a kiss on her lips. She was surprised at what he did. He pulled away a few moments later.

"Tomas." was all she said. Smoke put his mask back on. Still in the daze she was in, Asami layed down. "Stay with me." Smoke looked up at Jax. Jax just nodded in response.

"I'll go back to the city and see what I can find." Sub-Zero said before he left.

"Ugh," Johnny Cage said while rubbing his neck, "That centaur packs a punch." He then looked at the door. "Do you think she will be ok?"

"Asami has a strong will." Raiden answered, "She will be fine."

"It will take a little while for her to be good to go." Sonya stated, "Jax took a while to recover after he got his mechanical arms." Just then there was a small scream coming from the room. "Jax said it was painful when they connected the nerves together." Raiden stepped back a bit.

"I will check up on the other's progress in the city." With a flash of lightning the thunder god was gone. Jax came out of the room a few moments later.

"Well I got the leg on her," He said, "But that wore her out so she's resting. Smoke's going to stay in the room with her. The man really likes her."

"An assassin caring about someone?" Cage asked, "Never thought I see the day seeing as how they are trained to kill."

"And not just Smoke, Sub-Zero looked like he cared too."

"Really both of them," Johnny Cage had a big grin on his face. "I'm going to enjoy this."

"Do remember that all three of them can beat you in a fight." Sonya pointed out. Cage's smile went to a frown.

"Oh yeah." Sonya got up and went to the kitchen.

"I'm going to get them some food." She said, "I'm sure they are hungry, Asami especially." Sonya got some food on a tray and walked into the room. The sight she saw was one that gave her a small smile. Both people were asleep on the bed. Smoke's arms were wrapped around Asami's waist. Sonya walked out of the room and closed the door behind her softly letting the two of them sleep.

So who wants to guess where Sub-Zero headed off too? I'm sure people who played MK9 might have some idea. Now I'm not 100% sure of Jax could have actually put the mechanical leg on Asami, but of all the MK heroes he was the most logical choice. It's also nice to have the light on some others even if they are talking about Asami.

Remember reviews are nice, and helpful ones are better.
