So here we are once again for chapter 7. There really aren't that many chapters left in this story. There is about 6-7 chapters left in this story. So this makes this about the halfway point. Do not fret people this is only the first of the series of four stories.

Anyway I don't own Mortal Kombat. I own Asami, but I actually don't own Seto. I do have permission to use him.

Asami was in darkness, it wasn't even a room. She was unaware of where she was.

"Where exactly am I?" She looked around and saw nothing.

"You can't recognize your own mind, Asami?" A voice echoed out.

"My mind was never this dark and blank!"

"This time is different. You are conflicted. You know once this battle is over, there will be no longer any reason for you to be here. You won't see your precious Tomas ever again."

"…"

"Did I touch a nerve Asami? You were denying this whole time that you care about Tomas. Hell, you care about Kuai Liang too, but not as much as Tomas. He's better than either of those twins you met."

"Sure, Lance and Angel are nice, but it was told I was to marry Angel. That it was my destiny."

"Says the woman who changed Kuai Liang's. He was to become another cyborg. Screw destiny, the future is never set in stone."

"So you are saying I should go away from the path of what is needed to stop Draken in order to get what I want in life."

"Listen, you weren't going to really have time to bond with that son that you were going to have with Angel. You were just going to get dragged around, not able to do what you want to do." Asami was confused by that statement.

"Wait how do you know that?"

"I'm your future self. Sending you a message. Though I will admit, I didn't go and do this."

"How do I know this is not a trick? How do I know you are my future self?"

"I basically told you how you felt about things and you still doubt me? I rather you stay with Tomas or at least follow your heart. There is one thing you have to do though. You'll have to tell him the full truth."

"…I'm scared."

"I know why, you're not sure if you'll still be accepted. I'm sure he'll accept you. Angel accepted the fact that I have Draken's curse. Tomas already accepted that bit. I'm very sure he will accept the rest of you. Now go and wake up." Asami's eyes started to open. She groaned as she woke up. She felt that someone was hugging her from behind. She looked down and saw gray and black arm gauntlets. There was a smile now on her face knowing it was Smoke.

"Tomas," She said softly, nudging him a little. He groaned a little bit as he woke up.

"Asami," He said, "How do you feel? I mean how is that leg?" Her foot twitched a bit.

"I can move it a little, but I still have to get use to it." She responded. "Tomas, I have to tell you something."

"What is it?" Asami turned so she was now facing Smoke.

"I didn't tell you the whole truth. I am a necromancer. I deal with the dead quite a bit, mostly just talking to souls. I can bring people back to life, but I rather leave the dead alone."

"That's interesting, you're a bit like Shang Tsung, except not working for Shao Khan. Wait would you be able to tell if he was alive?"

"Shao Khan?" She asked, "With someone like him I would know easily. Oh he's still ok, but now he's got some more souls to him. He might have taken this Shang Tsung's power if he's a soul stealer." Smoke's eyes got a bit wider.

"That is a problem." He said.

"Well I've got more I need to say." Asami said, "Once this conflict is done, I'll end up back in my world. I won't see you again and I-" She froze for a moment, scared to say what she wanted to say.

"You what?" Smoke asked.

"I really care about you." She paused, "I, I l-l-love you. I love you, Tomas. Sure I've grown a little attached to Kuai Liang, but I see him as like, a brother."

"Asami," He took off his mask as was just about to kiss Asami when something stopped them.

"Well," Johnny Cage said, "Didn't think the two of you would become a couple." Asami was mad and Smoke put his mask back up, very glad his back was to Cage. Asami glared at the actor. She grabbed a crutch and got up. Johnny's face got a little pale.

"You better leave Cage," She takes a few steps forward," Unless you want to be a bloody spot on the ground." The actor took it as his cue to leave the two alone to their own business.

So I am writing at least part of this on my laptop, while the electricity is out in my house. It went out so randomly. The bad storm was a couple of days ago. You know before I posted Chapter 6.

So I got a comment saying that they are glad Smoke's not in a gay pairing. As much as I like Sub-Zero/Smoke, I didn't want to write it.
