Disclaimer: I don't own Pink's Just Like a Pill. This song is really cool, and I wanted to add it to this chapter.

Chapter 6: Just Like a Pill

It was the next day, and Maria just woke up. Li Mei was watching over her. "Are you feeling okay?" asked Li Mei.

"Yeah," said Maria as she was getting up from her bed, "Where am I?"

"You're at Master Bo' Rai Cho's home," replied Li Mei, "He is downstairs, training with the others. He wants you to stay here until he believes you are ready. Rest until your strength returns."

"That's probably a good idea," said Maria. "I felt like my whole body is pretty heavy." Then she sat on her bed.

"I'll let you know when Master Bo' Rai Cho says you can come down," said Li Mei. Then she left.

Maria gazed out the window and thought to herself, Outworld, you are not making my life any easier. Once the Deadly Alliance is gone, I'll aim my goals on purifying this realm.

Then Maria started to sing:

("Lying here on the floor where you left me")

She threw herself on the carpet floor and closed her eyes.

("I think I took too much")

Tears started to run down her eyes, as she thought about her hardships in her life and memories.

("I'm crying here, what have you done?

I thought it would be fun")

She stood up and decided to change into some decent clothing. She went through her belongings and found a black T-shirt and white pants.

("I can't stay on your life support

There's a shortage in the switch

I can't stay on your morphine

'Cause it's making me itch")

Maria then stared at the view of Shang Tsung's palace and glared at it.

("I said I tried to call the nurse again

But she's being a little bitch

I'll think I'll get out of here")

Then she threw herself on her bed and continued singing while putting on her fingerless gloves.

("Where I can run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears")

She sat up and wiped her tears off of her face.

("And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of making me better

You keep making me ill

You keep making me ill")

She laid on her back on her bed. Her head started to hurt a little, and her legs were aching.

("I haven't moved from the spot where you left me

It must be a bad trip")

Then she grabbed her hairbrush and brushed her hair.

("All of the other pills were different

Maybe I should get some help")

A few more tears trickled down her face.

("I can't stay on your life support

There's a shortage in the switch")

She sat up, placed her brush on her nightstand, and wiped the tears off of her face.

("I can't stay on your morphine

'Cause it's making me itch

I said I tried to call the nurse again

But she's being a little bitch

I'll think I'll get out of here")

She got off of her bed and felt a little bit of her power return.

("Where I can run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears")

She got some socks and shoes and sat on her bed again to put them on.

("And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of making me better

You keep making me ill

You keep making me…

Where I can run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of making me better

You keep making me ill

You keep making me ill")

Then her mind was off of struggles and was on her new ally, Sesshomaru.

(Pink: I can't stay on your life support

There's a shortage in the switch

I can't stay on your morphine

'Cause it's making me itch

I said I tried to call the nurse again

But she's being a little bitch)

I surprised for a demon such as Sesshomaru would have such a different understanding for different humans, she thought to herself. Either he hates them or just…scared…

(I'll think I'll get out of here

Where I can run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears)

I hope Kung Lao, Sonya, Jax, Sub-Zero, Frost, and Johnny are safe, she changed her thoughts.

(And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of making me better

You keep making me ill

You keep making…)

Especially you, Kung Lao, she kept on thinking. I hope you are still alive. Then she laid on her bed again and closed her eyes for a few minutes.

(Where I can run… music fades)

Sesshomaru is kind of cute, I have to admit, she thought to herself, but I don't think he might be available…Ah! What the hell am I thinking!

She rolled on her side and scratched her head. She kept her eyes closed, thinking about her allies and her journey.

Yes, I know, this chapter might be boring, but I promise the other chapters will be better. Please R&R!
