Chapter 6: Looking After Mileena
It has been three days since Mileena woke up, and I've had to train for, well, who knows what. She's a pretty quick learner, she learned how to use her sais in a matter of hours.
Shes also been pretty clingy lately, I'm not sure if I should be scared or happy.
Not only that, she also like to scare me for some reason. Every chance she gets, she sneaks up on me and roars, or should I say yells in my ear. I've had to go to a healer ten times. Though she does get upset when I'm made a her. She's like a freaking puppy.
Nice catching up, but I just realized I've left Mileena alone for way too long so if you excuse me.
"Hello Mileena, how are you today?"
"I'm better now, that your here." She replied smiling.
I held back a blush as I smiled.
"That's good to hear." I replied, as I gave her, her sais. "How about we do some practice today?"
"Okay!" She said, excitedly as she twirled her sais, while I readied my staff.
FIGHT!
Mileena rushed at me, twirling her sais as she did. She leapt a me, but i side stepped and hit her on the back of the head with my staff. She immediately dud a back flip and turn to hit me again, this time, managing to cut my arm.
"Aaah!" I inhaled sharply, clutching my arm.
Seeing me in pain, Milenna immediately dropped her sais and ran towards me, worry etched on her face.
"Are you ok?" She asked, as she helped me up.
"Yeah." I replied, as I looked at my cut. I smirked as she examined the cut, and before she knew it, I tripped her with my staff and held it right at her neck. "Remember Mileena, you should never let your guard down."
Mileena pouted as she look up at em, "you cheated."
"I smiled as I patter her head, "all's fair in love and war."
Mileena perked up at this, "love?" she asked as a small blush adorned her face.
I stuttered, "W-what I m-mean is, t-that, u-um, it's just a figure of speech that's all!" I said, smiling sheepishly.
Her head hung low, "ok."
I felt guilty seeing that, she was like a puppy happy for attention but sad when she didn't receive any. I needed to find a way to make her happy, and I knew the perfect way.
"Hey," I said, getting her attention, "would you like to see a present I made for you."
"A present!" She shouted, her eyes wide with joy.
"Yep." walking over to a table I grabbed my bag and pulled out a small teddy bear for her to see.
She was squealing with delight as she took it from my grasp and hugged it close. I smiled at this sight, she looked so adorable.
As she cuddle her teddy bear I remembered I had to deliver Goro's dinner to him. The thought of it made me cringe inwardly, but I kept my composure.
"Hey Mileena?" The girl in question stopped cuddling her bear and turned towards me, "I have to go get Goro's dinner, but I'll be back later.
She nodded before resuming her cuddling, as I left.
As I opened the door to Goro's lair, I could smell the foul stench in the air, most likely from the dead bodies of other contestants from other tournaments.
I found him sulking in a corner instead of sitting on his throne.
Probably still upset of Liu Kang winning. I thought as I walked in His turned to me as I came over.
"Hey, buddy." I said sheepishly as I gave him his food.
He angrily snatched the food from me and began eating.
"OK then," I said backing away before turning around and leaving.
What does Sheeva see in that guy?
As I came back into the flesh I saw something I did not expect. Mileena on the ground with Kitana standing over her. Mileena turned her gaze towards me and her eyes widened, Kitana followed her gaze and her eyes widened as well.
"James?"
"Oh crap."
I'm really sorry for everyone who's been waiting for this, but on the bright sides I finished my exams yesterday. Summer Time! So I'll be leaving next week, cause I'm going to Nova Scotia, but I'll try to update more of my stories.
Speaking of which, this weekend is the premiere of my newest story, A Song of Shadows and Embers Book 1: A Pawn of Chess
Happy summer every one.
