+'s True Intentions+... By Jashlyn Davis

"Love can be blind, beautiful, and irresistible. Our hearts are taken over by its power, reborn anew. But in the midst of our own minds, love can conquer all and love can deceive us all."

“Auntie Milly!” shouted out Kiona, one of ’s and ’s twin daughters. She happily ran to her favorite aunt with a drawing in her hands. Kiona was more like her mother in almost every way, except her good- natured style. She liked Sais, the color violet and teddies. She was a sweet girl with a lot of personality and joy inside her heart. She was only 5 years old, filled with excitement and cheer at already a young age. Kiona had her mother’s hair and her eyes; she had her father’s golden color and smile, the same smile her mother loved so very much. Since the time of her and her sister’s birth, Mileena grew very close with the two children and taught them how to make teddy bears during their free time. Mileena was just like them, a child with a newfound heart inside of her soul. She’s been through so much pain and confusion in her life, that she finally found the long peace she sought for. Mileena still had her beautiful face that her “father”, gave her when she tried to kill Kitana years ago. Her face was so radiant, so beautiful, that many men around Edenia wanted her hand in marriage.

Of course Mileena refused because her heart belonged to one man, Kuai Liang, known as Sub-Zero. They met in Earth-realm after Shao Kahn was defeated and both grew close as the years began to come. They were outside the Edenian palace, gazing at the night sky as the stars above were shooting beautiful white beams. “Make a wish, Kuai.” Mileena said as she looked into his ice-blue eyes. Kuai smiled at her, leaning closer as he gave her a nice, wet kiss. Mileena touched his hand, enclosing it with hers as she began to suck and kiss on his bottom lip. Kuai stroked her hair, holding the back of her neck as the kiss gets deeper and sexual between them. She moaned through the kiss as Kuai stopped to kiss her neck. He licked circles on her collarbone as his tongue wiggled on her sweet spots. Mileena’s dragon eyes glowed so beautifully in the night sky. “Kuai…..mmm……so naughty.” moaned Mileena. Kuai stopped kissing her neck and picked her up to take her back inside the palace. Mileena giggled as she gave him a quick kiss on the lips. Suddenly, Kiona found her aunt being carried by the man she calls, “Uncle Subby”. The two lovebirds stopped as they saw the pint-sized Kitana-lookalike staring at them. Embarrassed, Mileena laughed nervously, “Sweet child, where is your mommy?” Kiona replied, “Mommy is with Grandma and Daddy to Earth-realm. They won’t be back until tomorrow. Look! I drew you this picture Auntie Milly!” Mileena’s eyes grew big as she saw a stick figure picture of herself that read, “For Our Best Auntie Ever, We love you! –Love, Kiona and Kion.” Mileena’s eyes let out tears as she asked Kuai to put her down. She took the drawing in her hand as tear droplets landed on the tan-colored paper. Her niece smiled at her and hugged her tightly as she could. “I love you Auntie Milly, please promise that you will always love me too.” Kiona’s words touched Kuai’s heart as he tried not to cry himself. He was amazed that Mileena was loved by her two nieces and new family members of Edenia.

He thought about his brother and how he became a servant of evil under the rule of Shao Kahn. Kuai began to blame himself for not protecting his brother and went into deep denial of ever wondering if he could get his brother back from the Forces of Darkness. Mileena cried as he and Kiona both comforted her together. The mere love that surrounded Mileena made her own heart weep of joy. For once, she was a good person, growing closer to her sister every day the time went by. She liked the new her and she was free to love and protect her loved ones without obeying any master. After Mileena tucked in her two nieces into bed, she started humming lullabies as the two beautiful twin girls slowly fell asleep. She continued to hum as she thought about Hattori Hanzo, the ex-general from her father’s army. She remembered the long nights he use to hum to her whenever she had trouble sleeping when they were on a mission to kill Shao Kahn and . In her mind, she tried to forget him, but in her heart, she began to miss him in so many ways. Mileena…I promise to protect you and love only you for the rest of my days. His voice made her shiver, his skin made her melt, she wanted to stay with him so he could fulfill that promise he once had made to her. But isn’t this wrong? Her heart is for Kuai Liang, the man that would place her as co-leader of the Lin Kuei in the near future. Kuai wasn’t attracted to Mileena because of her face he was attracted to her heart and her loving smile that made him forget about all the other women that have ever approached him. These feelings that Mileena had for Kuai…she wanted him to know how important he really was to her, no matter what it took. She sighed and left from her nieces’ room, thinking about Hattori even though she should be thinking about Kuai, the love of her life. She went into the room that she and Kuai shared and laid on the bed with him. Without taking off her dress, she fell asleep beside him as Kuai got up to place the teddy bear she made for him beside her sleeping body.

Kuai left the room and wept outside. He cried because…he knew of Hattori and he knew that Mileena gave her virginity to him. His tears froze as he kept crying, thinking about the first night he spent with her. She asked him to take her virginity, but that’s when he suddenly realized that was telling him the truth. Kuai had Baraka by his throat as he made an icicle with a sharp edge pointed to Baraka’s throat. “*GASP!* Ack! I’m telling you the truth!! She and Hattori Hanzo took out Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung. They were together!! I’m just delivering a warning meesage!” Kuai wasn’t convinced at Baraka as the sharp edge was 2 inches away from his neck. “Demonic beast, prepare to die. I don’t have time for your deception.” Kuai said as his hand was gripping the life out of Baraka’s throat. “GAK!! P-please!! I will prove it to you! Hattori took her virginity in Outworld! She was in love with him and so was he!! When I spied on them after witnessing the death of my master, she and Hattori were kissing in a ball of flames! He hummed lullabies in her ears as she went to sleep on his chest! EGGHH!!” Baraka screamed as he was losing air. Kuai dropped Baraka as he looked down to the floor. He couldn’t believe that Mileena wanted him to take her virginity but it was already taken by some guy he never met or heard before. With Kuai lost in his trance, he was suckered punch by Baraka as he went towards the room Mileena was in. Since then…Kuai went into thinking, he felt like Baraka was lying to save himself, but the more he observed Mileena’s behavior, the more he doubted that Mileena didn’t actually love him. He formed a piece of ice and carved it into a heart. He stroked his finger across it with the initials, “MXS” (Mileena and Sub-Zero) His beautiful ice creation was held in his hands as he thought about Mileena. He didn’t care about what had happened between her and this Hattori fellow, so he decided to go back to Earth-realm for a special gift, just for HIS Mileena. The next day, Mileena was awoken by her nieces and sister, Kitana. The two twin girls jumped happily on her bed as Mileena giggled childishly with them. “Wakey wakey, Aunt Milly! We made you breakfast in bed!” said Kion. Mileena smiled as she pushed her hair back to see what the girls have made. Two eggs on slightly buttered toast, grapes, and a small bowl of hot cereal with a smiley face made with raisins. Mileena smiled as she stuffed her mouth with hot cereal as Kion and Kiona hugged their aunt tightly. “Go on girls, me and your aunt need to talk.” said Kitana. “Okay Mommy!” the girls said in unison and left the room with smiles and giggles.

Kitana looked at her sister with smirk on her face. Mileena was eating childishly as her cheeks were filled with hot cereal and eggs. Kitana laughed at her as she wiped her sister’s mouth with a hanky. “Mileena, my children adore you. They have grown to love such a person that equally loves them so much. I am so blessed to have you in our hearts. I love you my sister.” Kitana sniffled. Mileena hugged her sister and kissed her cheek. “I should thank you Kitana, for giving me a chance to become a new me. I love my nieces very much and I thought that a person like me could ever love anything, yet be loved back…” Mileena’s voice broke as her sister held her closely, sobbing with her as the two once bitter rivals, became friends and sisters. Kitana combed her sister’s hair as Mileena ate the rest of her breakfast. “Kitana…when will you tell him?” Mileena asked. Kitana sighed hard as she rubbed oil on Mileena’s hair. She didn’t answer because her heart became sunken ever since she and Liu had a fight weeks ago.

Apparently Liu became tired of Edenia and suggested that he and his family move to Earth-realm in China with the rest of his family. Kitana refused because Edenia was her home, but it wasn’t a home for Liu Kang. She wanted to stay, but Liu did not and that’s when the argument escalated into their first fight since they have been married. It distraught Liu so bad, that he actually left her and their children to Earth- realm. Mileena looked at them as Kitana begged him to stay because they had children, but it fell on deaf ears. His daughters were crying for their daddy to stay, but suddenly that’s when he stopped in his tracks. He looked at his girls and hugged them, saying goodbye as the portal to Earth-realm was awaiting him. “LIU KANG!! HOW CAN YOU LEAVE THEM!! THEY NEED YOU! I NEED YOU PLEASE….PLEASE STAY WITH US!!” yelled Kitana as she was crying on her knees. Mileena felt her pain and remembered the time she saw those same two people make love against a tree under the full moon. Now those same two people were breaking apart without a single warning. She thought about what if that had happened between her and Kuai…her mind would not allow the images to transcend. Since Liu’s return, he became distant and more upset because he wanted his daughters to be around their other relatives in China. He loved his daughters with all his heart, but his heart for his wife, Kitana, was becoming thin. After Kitana was done combing, she undressed Mileena and helped her put on her Edenian dress. Mileena was transformed into a pretty flower as Kitana placed on Black Orchard lipstick on her sister’s lips. “Beautiful.” Kitana smiled. Mileena looked into the mirror and twirled around in her violet dress. Her cheeks turned red as she felt on her chest. “Busty…” Mileena giggled. Kitana sighed irritably and pushed her out the door as the two giggled in the hallway. As they walked into the large meeting room, Mileena’s smile disappeared when she saw the man she once loved…Hattori Hanzo looking at her.

He stood tall, looking handsome in his robe and red hakama. His hair was a fusion between red and black and his goatee and mustache was shaved off. His red eyes glowed at Mileena as he bowed to both her and Kitana. Queen walked up to them as she smiled at Mileena. “Princess Mileena, this young gentleman is here for you.” Mileena’s heart thumped as he rose up from the ground, smiling at her. “Princess Mileena, I am honored to see you again.” Hattori said gracefully as he kissed her hand. Mileena blushed as Hattori grinned at her, staring into the soul of a woman he was once inside of. Kitana looked at him and blushed as well, but suddenly snapped out of it as she tried to break the strange silence. “Umm, Mileena, who is this fine fellow?” Kitana asked curiously. “A friend.” she quickly responded. Her eyes stayed on Hattori as he smiled even more at her. Queen Sindel took her daughter’s hand and left the two alone to “catch up”. When the coast was clear, Mileena yelled, “Why are you he—“ Mileena was kissed by the man whose flames never burned her body but instead caressed her soul. He kept kissing her mouth, feeling on her behind as he pulled her closer against his body. “I missed you Mileena….I miss your lips against mines.” Hattori moaned. Mileena melted as she felt him harden against her. She snapped out of it and stopped Hattori. “We must cease, Hattori. Why are you here?” Mileena asked as she fixed her hair. Hattori licked his upper lip as he kissed her again. “I wanted to be with you again, dear. After we defeated Shao Kahn and Shang, I created my own force of fighting against evil called “Underground Dragons”. Since then, we help other realms to fight against evil and bring peace. I tried to look for you but you were gone…I missed your touch, your body, your breasts against my---“ “HATTORI!” Mileena interrupted. “I’ve changed and besides my breasts belong to Kuai Liang….” She said childishly. She huffed as she walked away from Hattori. “Who? Who is this guy? He sounds like a joke. I bet he can’t make you orgasm like me…hehe…remember when I made you speak in gibberish after our first time together? Your face was so beautiful when you moaned in my ear.” Hattori said touching Mileena’s shoulders. “I asked you in Japanese, "Kimochi Mileena-chan?" You squealed yes in my ear and everything became clear and vibrant. I want you to feel me again. Dig your nails into my back like you did before and bite my neck. Have my baby…make me into a proud father.” Hattori crooned as he kissed the back of Mileena’s neck. She was happy. She didn’t resist nor did she turn him away. She realized that she loved Hattori Hanzo and no other man…not even Kuai Liang. Her heart bled for Hattori for all the wrong reasons and she knew she couldn’t hide the truth from herself. Hattori took her by the hand and into her room that she shared with Kuai. He laid her down, kissing her body in the dark as Mileena moaned softly. He felt her thighs as his tongue licked on her sex, Mileena squirmed as Hattori was wiggling his tongue nice and slow. He took off her dress and his clothes as Mileena saw the strong body Hattori had. His rock hard abs was solid as a rock, bold and magnificently perfected by every inch of his torso. He crawled to her, kissing her as she touched his chest. Mileena knew what she was doing was wrong….but her heart wasn’t in her control to decide who she should love. Outside behind the window, was witnessing everything that was happening. “Hmmph, how pathetic, wait til your little “Subby-Wubby” sees this…” With the new evolving nature of Edenian technology, people could now afford cameras to take pictures of the beautiful scenery, but instead, Jade used it to catch Mileena in the act. “Once I expose these…you will be banished from Edenia and will never see my god-nieces ever again!!” laughed Jade. She vanished from the window and into the night sky. Mileena huffed and moaned as Hattori was making love to her, his body felt so good, so warm, that she didn’t want him to stop. “Hattori…I love you. I love you…” she sighed. Hattori grunted as he kissed her again, tonguing her as his hands felt up her breasts. They were caught in a web of deceived love and with that moment of passion could change their lives forever. After their love making, Hattori stroked her hair humming lullabies in her ear. She had her eyes closed on his chest, but she refused to sleep. She knew that she broke Kuai’s heart and lied to him about her virginity.

She felt bad and very disgusted at herself. She wanted to end her life so that she wouldn’t ruin Kuai’s. She grown so close to him….she loved him and wanted to be the mother of his child, but now, it was over for her. “Mileena, lets live in Outworld. Let’s begin a life that I want us to have. Let me make you happy with everything I have to offer.” Mileena sighed as she tried to refuse his offer. “Hattori…I’m sorry, but my mind is made. My heart belongs to one man, and after tonight, I don’t even know if he will still be there for me. Please understand.” Mileena said breaking into tears. Hattori wiped her eyes and kissed her. He knew she was serious so he couldn’t force her to love him. Without hesitation, Hattori got up and put on his clothes, leaving Mileena with a good-bye kiss. Mileena inhaled her covers with Hattori’s scent on them. She sighed happily as she touched her belly. She desired to bear his child, but that wasn’t going to happen because of her love to Kuai… Jade and Kuai were in Earthrealm as they were both silenced. Kuai held the photos in his hands…weeping as he couldn’t say anything to Jade. “I’m sorry. I just couldn’t stand her hurting you like she did. You deserve someone other than Mileena.” Jade said, smirking when Kuai wasn’t looking. He growled in anger as he vanished back to Edenia. After Kuai left, Jade folded her arms with a satisfying smile on her face. “Checkmate.” Kuai appeared at the palace mad and hurt at the photos he seen. It seemed that Baraka was speaking the truth and Kuai…was a fool in love. He went up to Mileena’s room and opened the door. Mileena was on the bed covering her naked body as she saw Kuai satring at her. She crawled on the bed like a kitten as she purred at Kuai. “Purr, come darling, let Mileena welcome her prince home.” Kuai put on a fake smile and sat down taking off his shirt. Mileena kissed his warm body, licking the back of his neck and she touched his chest. Kuai was pissed…for the first time, he didn’t want her lips on his body. Mileena stopped as she sensed tension. “What’s wrong baby? Mileena not making you feel welcomed?” Mileena purred. Kuai sighed placing the photos in front of Mileena’s face. She froze, surprised as she saw images of her and Hattori having sex on the same bed she and Kuai shared. “How long was he here?” Kuai asked calmly. Mileena was afraid to answer. When she didn’t answer, he got up ready to leave. “Kuai don’t! PLEASE!” Mileena shrieked. Kuai was trying to move away as Mileena began to cry uncontrollably. “HOW THE HELL YOU SAID YOU LOVE ME WHEN THIS MAN WAS IN BETWEEN YOUR LEGS!? WHEN HE TOOK YOUR FUCKING VIRGINITY MILEENA!? HOW COULD YOU HURT ME WHEN I BEEN NOTHING BUT FAITHFUL TO YOU?!!” Kuai screamed. He got up and threw things, smashing windows and tearing up furniture. Mileena screamed as she tried to explain herself, but words were meaningless to him. “YOU FUCKING LOVE HIM DON’T YOU?! YOU FUCKING LOVE HIM DON’T YOU, YOU BITCH!!!” Kuai screamed as his eyes were bloodshot from crying. Mileena screamed, “I LOVE YOU KUAI! I ALWAYS DID! HATTORI IS JUST A COMRADE, WE DEFEATED SHAO KAHN AND SAVED THE REALMS!!” Kuai stopped as he stared at Mileena. “That may be true, but you didn’t save our relationship. I loved you with all of my heart. I wanted you to meet my mother and father so they could see the only woman I would die for! You killed my heart all because of some man that didn’t even care enough to fucking love you like I did!! I was a fool to love you. I wanted us to have kids together, to rule the Lin Kuei together and be happy TOGETHER!! Why couldn’t you tell me the truth? Why…Mileena…why?” Kuai fell on his knees crying on the ground. Mileena screamed for his name as she went down to the floor to comfort him as they cried together. “I’m so sorry Kuai…I’m so sorry!” Mileena cried. Kuai became cold like his heart and pushed her away as he got up. “Don’t ever acknowledge me as Kuai ever again. The name is Sub-Zero. Since your heart has chosen this man, my gift to you is voided…” He showed her his ice sculpture of the ice heart he made for her with their initials. Mileena cried even more as she saw a diamond ring encased in the hard ice. “I wanted to give this to you when I returned tonight, but now it’s useless, just like me.” Sub-Zero crushed the heart he made against the wall and got up. Mileena sobbed loudly as Sub-Zero left her alone in their room, broken like the ice heart he smashed. Mileena’s Tarkatan mouth appeared as she roared with extreme anger. She kept crying as she pulled out her hair, screaming as she lost her lover and friend. Kitana rushed in as she saw Mileena crying and naked. “Oh Mileena…” sighed Kitana. “HE LEFT MEEEEEE!!! HE’S GONE BECAUSE OF MEEEEEE SISTER!!!! WAAAAAAAAAHH!!” Mileena cried like a child as Kitana tried to calm her sister down as she was hugging Mileena’s body. “IT’S ALL MY FAULT!!! IT’S ALL MY FAULT!!!” Mileena screamed even louder. As her cries became louder, Jade was in a corner, laughing at her evil deed. She vanished into the darkness as she said, “This was too easy…” For the next couple of weeks, Mileena was placed into a world of sadness. Her niece, Kiona, was with her trying to make Mileena happy with doodles of her with her Sais. Mileena tried to break a smile, but she kept crying when all the doodles were of her and Sub-Zero. “Auntie Milly, please smile.” Kiona begged.

Mileena touched her niece’s face and held her hand. “Kiona, I love you, thank you for trying to make me feel better.” Mileena said, stroking Kiona’s face. Kiona’s bright eyes glowed as she smiled at her aunt. “Uncle Subby will come back; he loves his Milly with all his heart. I just know it.” Kiona said with pride. Mileena smiled at her niece and grabbed her hand. “Come, let’s get some ice cream.” Mileena offered. Kiona squealed with joy as she walked with her aunt. As they walked, Mileena saw Hattori holding flowers in his hands. “Mileena…” he called out. Mileena stopped walking as she stared at his handsome face. “For you…I heard what happened. I feel responsible for everything.” Mileena looked at the flowers and denied them without saying a word. She didn’t say anything to Hattori as she and Kiona left from his sight. As the wind blew, Hattori stood as he released the flowers into the air. He turned to walk away, but pulled out a ring from his sleeve. “I will make you mine Mileena, just give me back your heart…that’s all I want.” Kiona saw him from a distance as the vagabond disappeared into the sky. She saw that his heart for her aunt was strong, but she knew her Uncle Subby’s heart for Mileena was even stronger…
