+Mileena'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 Liu Kang’s and Kitana’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”, Shao Kahn 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 Shang Tsung. 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 Baraka 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.
