“IMPENDING DOOM” SHAO KAHN X FEM!READER PART 2
Tumblr media
Here’s part 1
WARNINGS : (MDNI)! masterbation (male), p in v, some other things I probably forgot
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
When you woke up, Shao Kahn was not in bed with you. You looked around, confused. Then you realized that he was Kahn of Outworld so he probably had some business to attend to.
You were suppose to feel regret for what you did. You slept with the villain. The main antagonist in your life. But you didn’t. You didn’t even feel slightly bad for it. And that was a big problem.
The truth was you liked the power Shao Kahn had. You admired it. And you wanted some to yourself but you would never tell him that.
That would just go to his head.
You put on your black and red tightly fitted clothing that Shao had picked out for you. You were starting to see the returning pattern. He must’ve of really liked red.
As you put your earrings in, you noticed a note on the dresser. You picked it up.
I have unfinished business to attend to. I don’t care what you do but you are not to leave the palace.
- Your Emperor
You rolled your eyes a little and set the note down. “You can’t tell me what to do.” You grumbled under your breath. You finished putting the earrings in and decided that you hadn’t really taken a look around since you got there.
Opening your door, you walked out to the hallway and down the stairs. The palace was huge. Every room was double the size it should’ve been.
You went into the kitchen and grabbed yourself a water. When you turned around, you gasped. There was a woman dressed in all red, hair dyed red.
“Jesus Christ.” You mumbled.
The woman examines you up and down. “So, you will be the new Empress of Outworld?” You didn’t respond. She continued to stare at you as if she was uninterested. “I don’t see much.”
“Okay…creepy lady.”
You try to walk past her but she got in your way again. “I’m Skarlet.”
You wanted to be rude and say ‘I didn’t ask’ but you were gonna tell yourself to have a good day today. “(Y/N).”
“Shao Kahn took me in. Made me one of his own. He taught me the ways of blood magic.”
She holds out her hand and you watch as blood started to form out of thin air. You rose a brow at this. She then closed her hand up.
“Cool. All I got is a flying kick.” You say to her.
“You have no power?”
“I mean…technically I have telekinesis but I don’t exactly know how to control it yet.” You admitted.
Skarlet looked even more puzzled at you. “Weak. Why would the Emperor want a weak woman?” She was starting to irritate you but it seems like she was only getting started. “I would’ve made a great Empress by Shao Kahn’s side.”
To this, you looked at her confused. “Didn’t you say he took you in?”
“Yes.”
“So, he’s like a father figure to you then?” You questioned and she did not respond. “And you want to be at his side and…yeah it’s time for me to walk off from this conversation.” You said, leaving her.
Tumblr media
Through out the day you were incredibly bored. As annoying as Shao Kahn was, he at least entertained you when he was around. How did he have a big palace with nothing to do?
Luckily for you, Shao Kahn was back. You were laying on the bed, reading a book. Shao Kahn walked into the room and closed the door behind him. You sighed in relief. “Thank god.”
Shao Kahn smirked at you. “Did my Empress miss me?”
“Miss is a strong word. You’re just mildly entertaining. Don’t let that go to your head.” You told him. Shao Kahn started to take his armor off. “I met your…whoever she is to you. Skarlet. Seems like a real peach.”
Shao Kahn chuckled. “She is clingy to me. I know.”
“Yeah maybe too clingy.” You closed the book in your hand and sat up on the bed. “She wants to take my place. Why don’t you just give her the throne instead of me?”
“Do not ask me such stupid questions.” When he said that, you threw the book directly at his head but he caught it with ease. Without looking. Your jaw dropped slightly and he placed it down on the dresser. “I do not view her in that light. And I chose you for a reason.”
You scoffed a little. “That girl can make blood come out of her hands meanwhile, I can barely fling a pencil across the room with my mind.”
Shao Kahn finished taking his armor off. He walked over to you some. “Are you jealous?”
“Me? Hell no.” You lied a little. Shao Kahn gave you a look as if he did not believe you and you sighed. “Not jealous just…confused.”
Your head was down. Shao Kahn leaned over and made you look at him dead in the eyes by placing his hand under your chin. “She is not you. That’s all you need to know.” Shao Kahn removed his hand and went into the bathroom. “You will learn your telekinetic gift eventually.”
Somehow you weren’t very confident in that. “Whatever you say. Hey, where were you today anyway?”
“I slaughtered all my concubines.” Shao Kahn said like it was the most casual thing in the world.
Your eyes went wide when he said this. You took up from the bed and walked over to the bathroom. There, he was looking at himself in the mirror with his helmet/crown on. “Um…slaughtered?!”
Shao Kahn shrugged. “I have no use for them anymore.”
“Tuh. I hope you kept one because let me just tell you, what happened last night was a freak accident. It’s not going to happen again. No matter how good it was.” Shao Kahn turned to smirk at what you had just said and you face palmed yourself for the last thing you said. “I hate it here.”
Shao took some steps towards you. He held onto your hips and brought you close to him. “Why must you fight the feeling you have? You know you crave for me. For my power.”
In a sense, you did. Very much. Again, you would not admit it. You would keep telling yourself that you are not a bad person. You are not the villain.
He was taller than you so you had to look up at him. You placed your hands on his chest. Your intention was to push him off but you felt all over his chest and it was glorious to you.
You felt yourself get sucked up in some kind of trance for him. Shao Kahn noticed and decided to not break the tension you two were having.
Shao Kahn bent down to your level and kissed on your neck softly. He began to suck on all the good places. You moan softly, immediately clutching onto him.
“Do not fight it. Give into it.” He licked on your neck and sucked on it one last time before pulling away. “I have changed my mind. We will marry soon.”
You had to catch your breath but when he said you two would marry soon, the wind felt like it got knocked out of you again. “Soon?”
“Yes. Too many mishaps could happen. I will not take any chances.” Shao Kahn turned so he could turn the water on to set his bath. “You should join me.”
You snickered at him for even having the audacity to say it. “Give you the privilege to see me naked? Absolutely not.”
Shao Kahn turned about around. He examined your curvy body and licked his lips at how tight the outfit was on you. “It is a privilege indeed.”
“Flattery will get you nowhere.” You told him and walked out of the bathroom so he could soak in the water.
Tumblr media
Shao Kahn thought about you as he took his well deserved bath. He knew you being with him would be an adjustment but he would show you the way.
He knew you wanted to be there with him. Otherwise, you would had tried to at least attempt escape. You didn’t. You also allowed him to kiss all over you and rub his big hands over you.
Shao Kahn would never force you. Not in that way at least so that’s how he knew. You were just scared to embrace the dark side of yourself.
He will help you though.
Shao Kahn pictured you naked. He imagined the stretch marks on your ass looking like tiger stripes. He imagined him putting you in the position so your ass was firmly placed in the air and he stuck his long dick inside of you.
He thought of how nasty you would be. If you were a loud moaner. If you were a dirty talker. If you spoke during sex or none at all. He knew how you really were during intimacy but he knew you were holding back your first time with him.
Your moans were beautiful. Something that would sound like music to his ears. He’d bet that your ass would perfectly jiggle on himself making it impossible for him to hold his nut.
The Emperor was obsessed with the feeling of your hands on his chest as he now imagined a new position, you were riding him. You would throw your head back and your perfect breasts would bounce beautifully on your chest. He would reach up to grab them and you would smack his hand away due to how sensitive they were.
His hands would go to your hips and he would help you ride him like the good girl you were. He imagined how good it would feel for you to moan his name.
The position switched in his mind and he imagined him on top of you. Shao imagined him burying himself deep within you and your pretty fingernails would claw his back.
Usually he didn’t care about letting women cum but you looked so pretty when you came on him before that he’d love to get you to do it all over again.
Imaging you cumming made him finally cum.
Shao Kahn rode out his high, finally the tight feeling in his chest being gone.
He cleaned himself up. Most men feel shame after doing what he just did. He didn’t. No shame was on his mind.
Shao quickly got dressed and left the bathroom. He placed his crown over his head and walked further out to see you were not in the room.
He left his room and went downstairs to see you were speaking to Shang Tsung. He stood a little ways, listening to the conversation.
“You seem weary of the Emperor.” Shang Tsung said to you.
You looked at him with a ‘duh’ look. “He’s a malicious tyrant. Of course I am. And now I’m marrying the douchebag.”
“He is…a man of many things but he chose you. You should be honored.”
“Honored? Honored that I’m going to be by his side while he slaughters innocent people?”
“You could’ve escaped. No one was watching you. But you didn’t. Because deep down, you don’t want to go to the pathetic life you lived. Being second best. No-third best.” Shang Tsung walked in circles around you. “Because it goes Liu Kang then Kung Lao and then…you. Isn’t it strange that no one has bothered to save you from the ‘tyrant’ that is Shao Kahn?”
You went silent as he spoke. You didn’t seem to have one of your comebacks lined up. “They care about me. They’ll-“
“Then where are they?” When you went silent again, Shang Tsung spoke. “Trust that Shao Kahn, and only Shao Kahn, has your best interest at heart.”
Shao Kahn smirked to himself. He should congratulate the idiot sorcerer for talking you down from your Earthrealm friends.
He made his appearance known. He walked over to the two of you. “Have you made arrangements?” He asked Shang Tsung.
“They have been made.”
You looked between the two of them confused. “Arrangements for what?”
“Never you mind.” Shao told you.
He turned to walk away from you but you gripped his arm tightly. “How do you expect me to be your wife if you don’t tell me anything?”
Shao Kahn noticed how willingly you accepted the term wife but decided not to bring it up. “They are a surprise for you. Do not worry.”
You placed your hands on your hips, looking at him annoyed. “What surprise? I don’t want a surprise.”
Shao ignored you. He took your hand and made you walk with him.
He takes you into a big, spacious room. It reminded you of a ball room but you obviously knew it wasn’t one. You looked around confused. “Why are we here?”
Shao Kahn doesn’t respond. He brings his hammer into thin air and then throws it at you.
You dodge the hammer. You looked at the hammer and then looked at Shao as if he was crazy. “What the hell are you doing?”
“You cannot learn your telekinetic gift if you do not learn properly.” He simply said. With his hand, he made the hammer appear in his right hand.
Then he threw the hammer at you again and you once again dodged it. You ducked. “Throwing your stupid hammer is going to teach me!”
“Your instincts will come in.” Shao made the hammer once again appear in his hand. “Come on. Don’t tell me you were right. Maybe you shouldn’t have the throne.”
Something about what he said bothered you. You didn’t understand why. Why did you care? You didn’t even want the throne in the first place.
Shao Kahn threw his hammer at you again and you ducked to your left. This time you were a little mad. “Shut up.”
“Oh, I am merely speaking the truth, (Y/N).” Shao Kahn makes the hammer appear in his hand again. “Maybe my mistake was picking an Earthrealmer that couldn’t even beat me.”
Shao threw the hammer and this time you ducked to your right. You we’re beginning to get increasingly angry. “Stop.”
The Kahn makes the hammer appear in his hand and he steps closer to you. “Pathetic. Even Skarlet has better magic than you. I should call her in so she can show you the ropes.”
He throws his hammer at you and you jumped over it this time. You landed on your feet and this time your eyes looked deadly. “Stop talking.”
“Maybe you were right. I should’ve picked her for the throne. Far better than you. I believe she won’t fail me.”
When Shao Kahn threw the hammer at you, this time you held your hand out at him. You stopped the hammer in mid air.
He looked impressed with you but you weren’t done showing off. “I told you to stop talking.” You then waved your hand in the air, making the hammer cock back. Then you flung your hand forward making the hammer get thrown across the room.
Shao Kahn was knocked down by his hammer and thrown up again the wall. He groaned in pain as he slid down.
You smirked at him and fixed yourself. “You know, you look so much better when you’re in pain.”
Shao Kahn let out a deep chuckle and he stood up from the ground. “I knew you could do it.”
You gave him a look, not buying it. “Why did you say all that stuff then?”
“Because I knew it would make you angry.” He motioned for you to walk with him. “Come with me.”
His hand was held out for you. You stared at his hand, contemplating. For the first time, without a fuss, you let Shao guide you.
You took his hand.

Mortal - Chapter 1
A Suguru Geto x fem!Reader fanfiction -16+
Words: 1983
Warnings: Blood, Mentions of Death, Violence, wounds, hospital, heavy angst
Summary: Mimico and Nanako get into a horrible car accident after a drunk night with their friends. Geto is called to the hospital where he discovers you, a human plagued by cursed spirits and a cursed life, who saved his two precious daughters' lives from the fire.
Tumblr media
It was quite late at night when Suguru closed the door to his private apartments in the temple. He crawled onto his futon, his eyes barely kept open. He rubbed his temples as he drained the pitcher of water his subordinates left by his bed.
"What a day", his rough voice murmured.
He tapped on the screen of his phone. It was quite late indeed. Nanako and Mimiko had still not returned from their party. He slid his finger down the screen to unlock it and dialled Nanako's phone number; she was bound to pick up. A few moments later the rhythmic beats of the dial were replaced by the loud background of techno music.
"I promise we're going", Nanako's voice said before Sigiri could even ask a question.
"It's already quite late young miss. And you didn't even call"
"I know I know", she whined.
Geto let out a short chuckle. "Are you girls having fun?"
"Lots!", Nanako beamed.
"Alright. You are excused", Suguru said, "But it's time to come home now."
The girl let out a gruff. "Yeeeess we will"
"I'll be waiting for you", Suguru warned, "I won't go to sleep until you come back"
"Ok Geto-san, we're coming", she said before giving him her goodbyes and hanging up.
Geto shook his head. He had been fearful of the time the girls reached this age and now he was experiencing it first-hand. He lay on his side, scrolling down his phone as he read through their messages. He checked on their Instagrams and smiled at the various stories they had uploaded from their night at the party. He knew the kids were from good sorcerer families, even though they themselves did not know his relation to the two girls. He tried to stay awake, but his exhaustion weighed down on his eyelids more than he could lift.
The next thing he remembers is a loud banging on his door. He shook his head awake. He checked his phone; an hour had passed. The girls should had been home by now. The banging continued. He rubbed his eyes as he pulled himself onto his feet.
"Miguel?", he frowned as he slid the door open, "What the-"
"There's been an accident!"
Miguel's words almost stopped Suguru's heart. His eyes grew wide. "What...did you say?", he stuttered.
"We have to go to the hospital! NOW!"
Miguel left to wake up the rest of their little family. Suguru stood there, on the doorstep of his bedroom, unable to move anywhere else but down. He clung to the doorframe, his body trembling in fear.
It was happening again. It was all happening again. The world around him was spinning like a roller coaster. His fingers dug on his chest as if trying to reach his breaking heart. He barely registered Miguel's voice as he returned.
"SUGURU!", Miguel shook Geto's shoulders. Suguru was finally able to focus his gaze. "Get yourself together. They're not dead"
A sliver of hope brightened Suguru's eyes. It gave him the strength to summon one of his curses and carry his family to the roof of the human hospitals the girls had been taken to. Geto ran down the flights of stairs. When he finally found a staff locker room he quickly sneaked inside.
"What are you doing?", Larue followed him, "The twins are bound to be in the emergency room"
Suguru was already half-way into changing from his Buddhist robes into doctor attire. "I'd be damned if I let their primitive medicine touch them", he spat as he gathered his long hair under a blue plastic hat. "What if...what if they...", he could not say that forbidden word, "We can do something! Reverse curse energy can heal them even if they are on the verge...on..."
Larue grabbed a spare shirt and coat and put them on. He covered his square jaw with a mask and nodded his head to Satoru. He'd follow him in whatever he did.
They ran to the emergency room. The others were already sitting outside. Geto used one of his curse spirits to make some of the staff start coughing uncontrollably. Then he and Larue appeared as saviours out of nowhere. He stood over the bed where his girls lay. His hand petted Nanako's hair in sorrow. Her bright eyes which used to be full of life were firmly closed as she breathed through a tube. He lifted the thin blue cover the monkeys had placed over her body to operate. She had a lot of cuts and even more bruises. A few burns were even imprinted on the left side of her body. Her sister was a little bit better. She must had protected her; she always did.
He had never wished Shoko to have followed him more than he did on that moment. He concentrated with all his might to heal the two girls, at least enough to get them out of death's reach. He managed to fix Nanako's internal bleeding and restored Mimiko's ribs to their rightful place before the nurses took notice.
"Did you take proper scans?", Larue asked the nurses, "Cause they don't look to be in need of an operation"
The humans did not believe them until they saw the new scans with their own eyes. Geto was amused by their astonished gaze as they tried to understand the great difference between what they were seeing and their original diagnosis.
"To err is human", said Geto as the girls were transferred into a recovery wing, "We should be glad our colleague spotted the mistake before we endangered the lives of two young girls with an unsanctioned operation".
His charm was enough to win them over. He thanked the mask he wore on his face at the emergency room for saving him from complications when he went to visit the girls as himself. He sat by their bed as they slept soundly. He would try to heal them again when he recovered his strength.
"Are you a monk, sir?", one of the nurses asked, to which Geto nodded. "I see...I suppose it makes sense, they really had luck on their side, didn't they?"
Suguru frowned. "What do you mean?", he turned his gaze to the woman.
"Oh...well..I thought you knew sir...", she fidgeted with the folder she held in her hands, "T'was a drunk driver...I'm afraid their friends died instantly upon collision"
A chill ran through Geto's spine. He looked at the two daughters he had raised, the two daughters that could had been taken aw from him so easily. "They...died?", his voice trembled.
"I'm sorry to say sir", the nurse whined, "Were you taking care of them as well at the temple?"
Suguru shook his head. Damn monkeys. More sorcerers' lives were taken away, this time directly by the hand of those vermin. "What about the driver?", he asked.
"The police are looking for him, sir. His car fell of the bridge as it ricocheted"
Geto clenched his fists. He was almost certainly dead. There was nothing for him to do to make him suffer for hurting his girls.
"Honestly I don't know if I could have done it", the nurse's voice broke through Geto's buzzing thoughts.
He turned to look at her again. "What did you say?"
"That woman sir", the nurse responded, "She called the fire department, then went and carried the girls outside. Lucky thing she did the car was completely enveloped by fire when the trucks got there"
"A woman? What woman?"
"I don't know sir. She's at the other end of the hall. She suffered quite a few burns so we had her treated too"
Suguru frowned. He held his daughters' hands in his as he sat between the two beds. Was that woman another one of their friends? Did she see the accident and ran to help?
"Geto-san", Nanako stirred as soon as the nurse left the room.
Suguru hushed her. "Stay still for now, we'll make you all better in a bit"
"What...happened?", she struggled to say.
"You were in an accident", Geto cupped her hair, "The bastard who hurt you is already dea-"
"Mimiko", Nanako tried to get up, "How's Mimiko?"
"Shhhh", Suguru laid her back down, "She's fine, she's asleep. Look"
Mimiko's gaze turned to her sister but her heart did not settle. "Is she...is she alright?"
"She's fine darling", Suguru reassured, "You're both fine. I made sure"
A few tears of relief pricked her eyes as she settled back in her pillow.
"Suguru", Miguel called from the door. He gestured to the corridor. Suguru left a kiss on each of his daughters' foreheads before following Miguel. He pointed at the smoking area. There, an old friend waited for him.
"If it isn't the wanted criminal", Shoko joked but there was no joy in her voice.
"Shoko...what..."
She put out her cigarette and tossed the bud in the closest bin. "No one knows I'm here. Not even Satoru", she cut him off before he could ask, "One of your new acquaintances came into my lab and let me know what happened"
Shoko walked up to him and pulled him into her arms. Suguru had not realised how much he had needed that.
"So...you're here to help?"
Suguru felt her nod behind him. "Of course", she said, "Just give me an hour and they'll be discharged. Your friend...Laure? He told me you already put in a lot of cursed energy to get them to their current level."
"Thank you, Shoko"
She let him go, her gaze turning serious. "You better disappear as soon as I'm finished. I'd rather if I didn't lose any more friends"
She gave him a kind smile and a pat on his shoulder before going to the girls' room. Suguru felt warmth overcome him. Sorcerers helping sorcerers; That was his one true dream.
As he got out into the hallway he peeked through the open door of the room on the side. He did not mean to, yet as the deed was done the nurse's words came back to him. He saw a young woman. Her hands wrapped in bandages, she sat on the hospital bed with a book on her lap and her gaze turned towards the falling snowflakes outside her window. He stood at the doorstep before he could properly think. There was some curse energy coming from her even though it was not all that strong. He lowered his head. How disappointing.
"Hello", she called to him as he turned to leave, "May I help you?"
He turned to meet her gaze. That's when he spotted the small curse spirit that clung to her body, weighing on her soul like leeches.
"Are you lost?", she asked again. Her gaze was soft and kind like an April cloud watering the fields.
"Ah...eh...no", Suguru said, "Were you the one that helped the girls at room 214?"
"Are they ok?", her eyes widened in fear, "Did something happen? The nurse told me they were stable!"
"They're fine!", Suguru waved his palms at her, "They...uh....They're my daughters. I just wanted to...uhh"
What was he doing? Was he about to thank one of those monkeys? Seriously? Her eyes were confused at his lack of response. After a moment her face relaxed into a kind smile.
"I'm so glad at least they're alright", she said before lowering her gaze, "I wasn't able to get anyone else out"
The old Suguru would had comforted her. He would had gone to her side and placed his hand on her shoulder, letting her know she had done more than enough with the strength she was given at birth. But...he was not the old Suguru anymore. No matter how much his old self screamed at him, he gave her a nod and returned to his family.

To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.  
— Mary Oliver, from "Blackwater Woods" in "American Primitive." (Back Bay Books; April 30, 1983)

Stop saying "sleep is for the weak."
This phrase encourages a harmful and outdated view of tiredness, fatigue and rest.
✨Instead try✨
"Sleep is for the mortals"
It makes your shitty sleep schedule sound like some kind of god (or demigod...or some poor kid living with a god in their body)'s secondary agenda rather than a poor life decision.
Now, go be mortal. GO SLEEP. Goddamn it.

“MY INSIDES ARE RED AND YOURS ARE TOO” MILEENA X FEM READER PART 1
Tumblr media
REQUEST BY : @zhivaxo
May I request an MK1 Mileena x Fem Reader?
The reader is an earthrelmer, and when Mileena meets the reader , she falls in love and through the story. You see them get closer and closer until the reader almost dies and Mileena saves her?
Mileena and Tanya are not together?
I hope this is okay with you if not it's cool :] have a good day
ADDITIONAL : I made the reader Raiden’s twin sister. In the original timeline the reader was a thunder god and in MK 11 Raiden and reader gave Liu Kang all their power to save them so in this timeline she is the new earthrealm’s champion. Also in the original timeline, Mileena had an obsessive crush on you but nothing came of it. This is more so a story because the idea came to me and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Also plot will change from mk 11 becaussse I said so
Tumblr media
A lot of people would say you’re a little cocky. You weren’t that cocky. You were just that good. Liu Kang had found you and your brother Raiden and best friend Kung Lao. You would have a chance to compete at the Mortal Kombat tournament.
Months had passed and it was you, your best friends, and two new additions that happened to be Johnny Cage and Kenshi Takahashi.
It was just now known that only one of you would compete at the tournament. You would all have to face each other.
First it was you and Johnny Cage.
You beat him easily. Yes, Johnny was a skilled fighter but his technique was no match for yours.
Then it was Kenshi. Kenshi was slightly tougher but you still beat him with ease. Next came Kung Lao who was harder. The match took more time but you had beat him.
Finally there was Raiden. Raiden was by far the hardest. His technique was perfect. It was close but with one final strike - you had beaten Raiden.
“Did I actually do it?” You said more so to yourself.
Raiden got up from the ground. He wasn’t upset with you. He was proud that his sister had beaten him. “You did. Congratulations, (Y/N).”
“You owe me fifty bucks.” Johnny loudly whispered to Kung Lao.
Liu Kang stood up from his seat and proceeded to walk over to you. “Although you have all trained well - (Y/N) has excelled. This outcome does not surprise me.” He opens what’s in his hand. “For the tournament you will need this.”
You look to see what is in his hands. The amulet beamed with lightning. “Whoa. What is this?”
“Forged by the Elder Gods. It gives the wearer the power of lightning and thunder.” He motioned for her to use. “Go ahead. Try it.”
You look at the device in your hands. Then towards the statue. This was all too weird and exciting. You raised your hand high and shocked the statue with the power.
Everybody gasped. Johnny of course was recording. “Holy Ark of the Covenant.”
You stop using the power and couldn’t help but laugh. “This is awesome! But do I really need it?”
“In addition of possessing great might, the Outworlders you will face also wield great magic.” Liu Kang stated. “The amulet levels the playing field.”
Kung Lao walked over to you. He places his hand on your shoulders. “You must be careful, (Y/N). You could get hurt. Even killed.”
“No tournament participant has ever been grievously injured or killed. I would never send my champions unwittingly into mortal kombat.” Liu Kang said.
You just nodded. You were a little nervous. Who the hell wouldn’t be but you decided to be here so you had to push past the feeling.
“I must warn you (Y/N), you are the first woman in mortal kombat history to become Earthrealm’s champion. There will be doubters and there will be those who do not take you seriously. Do not let them disrupt your goal.” Liu Kang explained.
You already felt the pressure. You were Earthrealm’s champion but now you were the first woman to be Earthrealm’s champion.
Everyone could see the nervous look on your face. Johnny decided to walk over to you and place a hand on shoulder. “Hey! You got this! You already kicked all of our asses.”
It was sweet of him to comfort you since it was Johnny Cage we were talking about. Not only that but the first time you two met, he called you “eye candy” and you had to punch him where the sun doesn’t shine.
“Johnny is right. You’re going to do great.” Raiden encouraged you.
You just didn’t believe so.
Tumblr media
Mileena wanted to taste victory. Finally, they were getting another tournament and she couldn’t wait to participate in it. One thing she wasn’t hoping for was her disease and if people were to find out about it, she would be banished.
She patiently waited for the Earthrealmers to appear, along with her sister. When she saw Liu Kang arrive, she also saw his people stroll along.
What she did not expect was to see you. A woman. It took her aback. Surely you weren’t the warrior that was going to be fighting. Your role had to be different.
When Mileena saw you, she believed you to be the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. She seethed at the thought of this. How could she think like that with an Earthrealmer?
She tried not to make it obvious she was staring at you and focused her attention on Liu Kang. “Lord Liu Kang, welcome.”
“Thank you, Princess Mileena.”
“You remember my sister?”
“Of course. Princess Kitana.” Liu Kang motioned to his warriors behind him. “May I introduce to you Johnny Cage, Kung Lao, Kenshi Takahashi, Raiden, and Earthrealm’s champion: (Y/N).”
Now, Mileena was shocked. A woman as Earthrealm’s champion? In Outworld women were the strongest warriors. That was not the same with Earthrealm. In Earthrealm men were the strongest and she had never seen a woman ever being a champion.
She was intrigued. “Well I am surprised.” Mileena stated.
“Pleasantly, I hope.” You tell her.
“Very.” Mileena looked you up and down trying to figure you out. You were definitely going to be a puzzle.
Kitana noticed the longing looks her sister gave and decided to speak. “I hope you’re prepared (Y/N). Our champions are determined to win.”
“None more so than me. It has been too long since we’ve known victory.”
You yourself weren’t expecting a princess to be as beautiful as Mileena. You could be a flirt but you were no Johnny Cage. You would not downright flirt with anyone and you definitely weren’t going to try it with a princess as you deemed it to be disrespectful.
You noticed the looks she gave you but you figured it was the shock of being Earthrealm’s first woman champion.
“Princess Mileena.” Tanya spoke. “We should be on our way. Empress Sindel awaits.”
Mileena’s gaze broke from you and she looked over at Tanya. “Thank you, Tanya.” She motioned for you all to follow her. “Follow me, please.”
Tumblr media
At the palace, you were having doubts. You didn’t believe that you could actually beat any of them. Defeating your friends was one thing but these guys? They were the real deal.
Liu Kang watched your face scrunch up in worry. He did not want you worrying so much as that would just lead to failure. “Worry expends energy for no purpose, (Y/N).”
You sighed. “But the tournament. If I lose-“
“Focus on your actions, not the outcome. It is all you can control.”
You bit her lip but nodded. You shouldn’t be worrying about the outcome. He was right. It would get you no where.
Big stomps were heard. Everyone turned toward the noise. It was a big monster you did not recognize. Liu Kang did not seem to be a fan of him. “Red alert. Incoming stock villain.” Johnny Cage said.
You couldn’t help but chuckle at what he said. “General Shao. Do not let him goad you.” Liu Kang said.
“What does goad mean?” You asked confused which makes your brother Raiden shake his head.
General Shao looked you up and down. He tried to hide the fact he was impressed by a female champion. “An Earthrealm woman that is a champion? Are you asking to lose?”
So, this is what Liu Kang was talking about. Kung Lao did not appreciate the disrespect that was aimed at you. “Would you care to test her strength? (Y/N) will-“
When you had seen Kung Lao step towards him, you made him take a step back so he would not start anything. “I will prove myself soon enough.” You spoke for yourself.
General Shao let out a low chuckle finding your confidence amusing. “I am afraid of no Earthrealm woman.”
His breath hit your face. You immediately coughed like you were choking. “Apparently you’re afraid of toothpaste.”
Your brother had to suppress his chuckle but Johnny Cage bursted out laughing. General Shao directed his attention towards Liu Kang. “We will destroy your champion, Liu Kang. She will taste no victory.”
He walked away. You couldn’t help but roll your eyes. If only you remembered the previous timeline. How you defeated Shao Kahn when he decided to merge the realms.
Sindel, Mileena, and Kitana had arrived. Everyone was in awe at their appearance. You mainly were with Mileena. The way she walked with confidence excited you. Johnny noticed your staring and snickered a little but he did not say anything.
When they reached their seats, Mileena had made it a point to search for you. When she did, she smiled. You noticed this a smiled back. She had mouthed something. Lucky for you, you were good at reading lips. ‘You will fail, Earthrealmer.’ Is what she mouthed out.
Was she teasing you? You tilted your head and mouthed back, ‘bring it’ causing her to chuckle.
After Sindel made her announcement, she looks at Liu Kang. “Let us meet your champion.”
Liu Kang motioned to you. “Earthrealm’s champion is (Y/N), Your Majesty. She has earned her place by embodying the very best qualities of Earthrealm’s people.”
Sindel looked you up and down. “I am shocked. It is the very first time an Earthrealm champion is a woman. You must be the best of the best.”
“I’m better than the best.” You said cockily.
Sindel examined you and all your body language. “Do you usually hide your nervousness with ego?”
You bit your lip at her finding out. “Is it that obvious?”
She chuckled slightly. “You have a difficult path ahead young woman.” She stands up from her seat. “It has begun.” Li Mei, the woman you found out earlier had started walking to the front. “As tradition requires Outworld’s initial competitor will be Sun Do’s First Constable…Li Mei. May she defend our realm’s glory as well as she preserves our capital’s order.”
The nerves didn’t get you bad until now. Liu Kang noticed and placed his hand on your shoulder. “All you need do is your best. The rest will take care of itself.”
You nodded. “I got it, Lord Liu Kang.”
Liu Kang smiled before walking away from you. Li Mei was shocked she was going to be fighting you but tried not to make it so obvious. “Shall we see what you can do?”
You cracked your neck slightly before replying. “Hopefully I don’t embarrass you too much.”
That seemed to piss Li Mei off. “I will prevail, Earthrealmer. This fight is more important to me than you can ever know.”
Mileena was actually relieved by your attitude. Of course you would be nervous. You were in a world you were not familiar in but you were not so humble. She didn’t exactly like complete show offs but she liked people that had at least some cockiness to them.
She watched you fight like it was the easiest thing in the world to you. She was stunned. She would have guessed you would at least struggle a little. You were beating Li Mei like you were beating something so easy.
It made her like you even more.
The fight had ended quickly. Li Mei was on the floor. “What was that about you prevailing?” You questioned her.
Mileena smirked. She should be rooting for her side but it didn’t hurt seeing Li Mei get defeated. Badly may she add.
It was complete silence. Li Mei walked out ashamed. Sindel turned to look at you. “My compliments, (Y/N) on a well fought match. We’ll see how you fair in the next.” She looked to her left. “General Shao. Whom have you chosen as our next competitor?”
“Your Majesty. I have chosen Reiko, my second in command.” He said.
You turn your attention to Reiko. He looked mean. Not scary but mean. General Shao made a big speech how he was the best. Then Reiko decided to do…what you could only describe as air punching and flips.
You broke out in laughter. Reiko glared at you. “What is so funny, Earthrealmer?”
“You.” You flat out said.
“A female Earthrealm champion? Is this a joke?” Reiko asked.
“No, but if you want I’ll get to the punchline.” You said, taking your fighting stance.
Reiko scoffed. “Ha! You are no match for me. I will spare no mercy when I am finished with you.”
Again, Mileena watched you fight. You were fighting like it was so simple. It worried her slightly. How would you do when you came face to face with her?
It was nice seeing Reiko get beat in the fight as she did not like him but she would have never thought Reiko would get beaten so easily.
When you had Reiko on the ground, you stopped fighting. “Be lucky I spared mercy on you.”
“I am impressed, (Y/N). Very. We are adjourned until first light. I hope to see you all at this evenings banquet.” Sindel said.
Tumblr media
At the dinner, you couldn’t eat. Despite your attitude you were actually a nervous individual. Your anxiety caused you not to eat. Sure, you did good but soon you were going to face Princess Mileena and General Shao. How would you beat them?
Your friends and brother congratulated you and you appreciated their support. You decided to just sit by yourself so you could have a moment to yourself.
Mileena noticed you sitting alone and decided to sit next to you. “Don’t tell me Earthrealm’s champion is too good for our food.”
You looked over to your left and there sat Mileena. You were actually shocked. I mean, a princess was willingly having a conversation with you of all people.
“It’s not that. I just don’t eat when I am anxious.”
Mileena could understand that but something in her told her to help you. She couldn’t understand why either. “Anxious? You’ve won two in a row. It is I that should be anxious.”
You chuckled a little. “I don’t think I can beat you, princess.”
“Neither do I but you should always have that attitude you have with everyone.” She told you. She took the fork from your plate and grabbed the turkey with it. She then raised the food to your lips. “It won’t be a fair fight if you’re drained from starvation. Plus, I helped make this and I will be highly offended if you don’t try it.”
Something about Mileena made your eyes sparkle. Maybe it was the fact she was so direct. Maybe it was because despite even her own cocky nature, she still wanted to make you feel welcomed. All you knew was that a beautiful princess was feeding you.
You didn’t want to be anymore rude than you had been so you opened your mouth and allowed her to feed you. Something about the action made the scene more intimate then it needed to be.
You ate the food. It was better than the food in Earthrealm but you didn’t want to feed Mileena’s ego. “Ehh. 6/10.”
Mileena gasped at your words but she knew you were only joking. She playfully swatted your arm. “It is not!”
“Hmm. Maybe I need another bite.”
Mileena grabbed another piece with the fork and fed it to you. You pretended to be in deep thought. “You’re right. 3/10.”
She playfully rolled her eyes. “You are unbearable, Earthrealmer.” She said, causing you to laugh.
From another table, your friends watched this and Johnny couldn’t help but be wide eyed. “How the hell does (Y/N) have a princess feeding her?”
“You wish that was you, huh?” Kenshi asked him.
“Uhhh duh!”
Kung Lao snickered a little. “She has stolen all my girlfriends so I am not surprised.”
“You have had girlfriends?” Raiden slightly teased causing Kung Lao to throw a piece of bread at him.
Liu Kang watched you two from the table and he couldn’t help but smile. He remembered in the original timeline, Mileena was highly obsessive of you. Though this time it was normal and it seemed to be a mutual liking. He had only hoped that things would be different this time.
Back at your table, you took your turn at feeding Mileena. She smiled but remembered that she could not be close to you. She scooted some, away from you. “I should not be so close.”
You frowned slightly. You didn’t mean to make her uncomfortable. “I’m sorry, princess. I did not mean to -“
“You are fine. It is me. I have…a slight cold.”
“You look good for someone that has a cold.”
Mileena did not expect that response. She smirked a little. “Are you flirting with me, Earthrealmer?”
You didn’t want that to come out but it was a simple observation. Mileena was beautiful. Highly beautiful. You of course did not want to disrespect her though. “Do you want me to, princess?”
Mileena had liked you. You were a powerful Earthrealm fighter that was a woman. How could she not? She admired power and you, despite your doubts, were powerful.
Princess Mileena had a tendency to get bored easily but she had a feeling she would never grow bored of you.
Sindel stood up from her seat and raised her glass. She was making a toast, causing everyone to do the same. “My husband Jerrod believed that the future of our realms lay together. Let us move forward in open dialogue. Letting no secrets tear our bonds asunder.”
Being Earthrealm’s champion, you felt obligated to speak. “Your Majesty. It is an honor to be here and to meet your people. I can already see there’s more that joins us then divides us.”
Mileena had liked your toast and she placed a hand on your shoulder, offering you a smile.
General Shao however did not like your toast. “Our peoples could not be more different, champion.”
You turned your attention towards him. “Excuse me?”
“You heard me. You people and your frail minds cannot handle that a world like ours exists.”
One thing about you is that you had a temper. A very bad one. Training with Liu Kang for the months prior to this however, he taught you how to maintain your anger.
General Shao went some steps towards you so the two of you were face to face. “What is the matter? No comment? Nothing? Hit me. I know you want to.”
You looked over to Liu Kang. He shook his head, knowing you wanted to sock General Shao right in the face. Liu Kang did not want you to do it like that however. He wanted you to fight him at the tournament with pride.
You sighed some before facing to General Shao. “Nope. Nothing. Though I still would recommend in the toothpaste.”
General Shao grabbed you by the hem of your shirt and glared straight into your eyes. “That will be the last time you mock me, Earthrealmer.” Raiden was about to go to your defense but Mileena beat him to it.
Mileena gripped harshly on General Shao’s arm and twisted it. “No. That will be the last time you embarrass yourself and the palace. Now, leave.”
General Shao looked over at Sindel. Sindel motioned for him to leave. General Shao had let out a big huff and left with Reiko.
Mileena immediately turned to you. “Are you alright, (Y/N)?”
You nodded, not really caring. “I’ll be fine.”
“I apologize, (Y/N).” Sindel spoke to you. “I can assure you that will not happen again.”
You had walked away from Mileena and over towards Liu Kang. “I’m sorry, Lord Liu Kang.”
Liu Kang was confused. “For what? You did not give in and hit him. For that, I am proud of you.”
“You’ll beat him in the tournament.” Raiden told you.
You hoped you would.
Tumblr media
At night, you couldn’t sleep. You were prepping yourself to fight for tomorrow as tomorrow you would face more warriors, including Mileena and General Shao.
Nervous was an understatement. After being challenged by General Shao you had to win. If you did the whole time here would mean nothing.
You did your push-ups when you heard a knock on the door. You checked the time. It was 11 at night. You wondered who it could’ve been.
You stand up from the ground and walked over to the door before opening it. There stood Mileena in a pink robe. You could see some of her chest as the robe didn’t cover much but you made it a point not to stare. “Princess Mileena. Not that I don’t appreciate the arrival but it’s late. Shouldn’t you be sleeping?”
Mileena motioned to you. “I could say the same to you.” She said. “I just wanted to talk. Is it okay if I come in?”
“Yeah. Of course.” You opened the door for her to enter. She walked in and you closed the door.
Mileena had let out a sigh. “I’m sorry for General Shao. He has been angrier than usual.”
“Do not apologize for another man’s actions. Or horse. Or whatever he is…”
Mileena laughs a little. She then looks down sadly. “Have you ever felt hideous? Like you were a monster?”
“No. I’m like the hottest girl in the universe.” You joked. When you saw her sad expression, you made it a point to walk closer to her and change your tone. “Princess, I know you yourself don’t think you are.”
“Something inside of me screams at me. They tell me that I am bad. Horrible.”
“You know that is not true. Princess, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever known. Surely you don’t actually believe you are hideous.”
It warmed Mileena’s heart that you thought she was beautiful but if you only knew that she was actually a beast. “You are too sweet, (Y/N).” She sat on your bed. “Have you ever had a secret that you wished you could share but you could not?”
You were surprised that Mileena was opening up to you. You figured maybe she would need comfort from her mother or her sister but maybe she didn’t need them right now. She needed you.
You sat down with her and decided to share your story. “Back where I live…people do not like same sex couples. It is frowned upon.”
Mileena was shocked by this statement. “That is absurd.”
“I know. My parents didn’t seem to mind themselves but when it came to other people I had to be different. I had to present myself a certain way. For years, I had to hide myself. The only one to truly accept me was my brother, Raiden. I had to hide the fact that I loved women and…it was tough.”
“How did you cope?”
You clicked your tongue to the roof of your mouth. “I made jokes. That’s what happens most of the time. I hide behind my humor.” That’s when you, yourself looked down to the ground. “Sometimes I think the world, even my brother, sees me as some big joke.”
Mileena would have not guessed you struggled as well but she should of. She gently took your hand in hers. “You are no joke, (Y/N). You are the most lovely person I have ever met. I wish you did not have to go through such struggles.”
Your heart skipped a beat at her holding your hand. You placed your other hand over hers. “My point in saying that is…I felt ugly and unloved but I found my way. And you will too.”
Mileena wasn’t exactly an optimist so it was hard for her to think up but if you could do it then she could do it. When she realized how close you two were, she pulled away. “We cannot be this close.”
You smiled a little at her. “I’m afraid of no cold, princess.”
Mileena chuckled. She was glad you weren’t but that of course wasn’t why she was so stand-off-ish. “You’ll be afraid of this one.”
When Mileena stood up, you admired her like she was the only woman in the world to have your heart. The beautiful woman made that robe look extremely good. Mileena caught on to your staring. “Do you see something you like, Earthrealmer?”
Damn. She caught you. You licked your lips slightly before looking her up and down. “Maybe.”
Mileena liked the fact you were eyeing her but she didn’t give in easily. “Please. You could not handle an Outworld woman.”
You took that as a challenge. You stood up from the bed to stand in front of her. “Try me.”
Mileena wanted to accept you. She did but she did not want to infect you with her disease. “Maybe some other time, Earthrealmer. You’re going to need the rest. Tomorrow I will not go easy on you.”
“I expect nothing less.”
Mileena walked out of the room. You sighed deeply and fell on the bed. Tomorrow was going to be interesting.
Tumblr media
Bright and early, you had already defeated Kotal, Montaro, and Sheeva. Now, you had to face Mileena.
You were nervous beyond belief. A part of you didn’t want to fight her. Not after the conversation the two of you had last night but you had to. For Lord Liu Kang and for Earthrealm.
“You continue to surprise, (Y/N). Only two fights remain. Are you ready, Earthrealmer?”
“I am your majesty.”
“The next you face my daughter, Mileena.”
Mileena started to walk out to the court. This time Mileena had her mask on. You wondered why but did not question it. “Try not to get distracted.” Johnny whispered teased to you. You stepped on his foot, causing him to groan in pain and the others snickered.
Mileena made it to you. “This is your last chance to back out, Earthrealmer.”
You stepped closer to her. “Now why would I do that?”
“You won’t be good to look at with a bruised eye and a bloody lip.”
“Aww. I’m pleased you think I’m good to look at, princess.”
Sindel eyed the banter you two spoke but did not say anything. Raiden had also picked up on it as well.
The two of you start to fight. She threw the first punch but you easily blocked it. You went to punch her but she had blocked it. This continues until you give her a good kick in the stomach. She almost is knocked to the ground but stands on her feet.
You smirk at her and motioned for her to come at you. Mileena tries to go at your face with her sai but you easily grabbed her arm. You twisted her arm and kicked her leg, making her fall to the ground. Then you kicked her in the face using your lightning.
Mileena grunts a little. She feels her lip become bloody. “Round one goes to (Y/N).” Sindel says.
Something inside of you started to worry. You break your aggression when you see Mileena bleeding. “Are you okay?”
She does a frontward flip to get back up. Mileena does a spin kick and kicks you in the face. You almost get knocked down but you stand your ground.
Mileena punches you again and again in the stomach before sweeping your feet. She tries to stomp on your face but you quickly move and kick the back of her leg.
You got on top of Mileena. You choked her with your left hand and raised your right hand with lightning. “Beg and I’ll get up.”
Mileena choked out a laugh. “You would love that wouldn’t you?” Mileena took her sai and stabbed you in the thigh and pushed you on your back.
You groaned out in pain, covering the wound. Liu Kang looked a little worried as that had been the first time you had been seriously injured.
“Gonna be tough getting up from that.” Kenshi told his friends.
“My sister is strong.” Raiden said. “She will prevail.”
“Round two goes to Mileena.” Sindel spoke.
Mileena looked at you. She was a bit concerned since you didn’t get up as quickly as she did. “Come on, Earthrealmer. I know you got more fight in you.”
You couldn’t lose. Now when you were so far. You stood up from the ground and conjured lightning with your hands. Then you rose her into the air before throwing her all the way into a brick wall, breaking the wall.
“Yeesh.” Johnny made out a sound of pain. “That’s gonna leave a mark.”
It had been a couple of seconds and Mileena was nowhere to be seen. “I guess the round goes to…” Sindel started to say.
Mileena rushed at you with an unnatural speed. She tried to kick you but you caught her leg and threw her in the air. Mileena did a flip and landed on her feet.
Mileena threw one of her sai’s at you and you had easily caught it with your lightning. You then threw it back to her and the sai stabbed her in the shoulder.
The princess took out the sai and went to charge at you. You blocked every single hit. You grabbed both of Mileena’s sais and kicked her to the ground. You then raised the sais to her throat, lightning glowing through your eyes. “Say it.”
Mileena couldn’t think of how to outsmart you. You had did it. You had beaten her. She sighed. “I concede.”
You smirked and put the weapons down. You held out your hand for Mileena to take. Mileena let’s you help her out. You give her the sais back. “You fight well, princess.”
Mileena was shocked. She was expecting you to say something cocky like you did with the rest but you didn’t. You gave her props. “As do you, Earthrealmer.” She goes up to your ear so only you can hear her. “You impress me. If you are good at kombat, I wonder what else you’re good at.”
You smiled slightly at her suggestive comment. She backs away from you and winks at you before sitting in her throne.
“It’s time for the final match.” Sindel spoke. “It’s a testament to your abilities that you’ve made it thus far. But now you must face General Shao.”
General Shao started to walk to the court. God, you couldn’t stand the sight of him. Sindel goes on about all the accomplishments Shao had made. When she is done, you speak.
“Am I suppose to be impressed, General?”
“No. But you should be scared.”
“Ha. Not even in your dreams.”
The fight between you and General Shao was intense. Very much. Mileena was hard to fight but she was not this hard.
It didn’t help with the fact Shao hated you. He wanted to see you lose so he was using all his strength to beat you.
Liu Kang only had hopes you could win but it was a tough match. Either way, he would be proud of you.
You give General Shao one final kick with lightning, knocking him down. You’re eyes widen, surprised. “Did I just seriously do that?”
Sindel stood up from her throne. “Congratulations, (Y/N). Earthrealm wins.” Her and Kitana walk off.
Mileena watched them walk and decided to walk over to you. “After you had beaten me, I knew you could do it.”
“Aww. We’re you rooting for me to win?” You teased.
Mileena simply shrugged. “Of course I was. I hate that man.”
You chuckled. The thought dawns on you. You would be leaving Outworld and wouldn’t see Mileena again most likely. “Does this mean goodbye?”
Mileena looked upset. This would mean goodbye and she actually liked you. She had a connection with you. She was already going through a lot. She didn’t want to go through it alone anymore. “Unfortunately, yes.”
The Princess decided to take some steps forward. She kissed you on the cheek through her mask. “Goodbye, (Y/N).”
Mileena caught up to her mother and sister. You turned your attention towards General Shao who was still on the ground. You gave him the middle finger before walking towards your Earthrealm comrades.
“No way Princess Mileena kissed you.” Kung Lao said.
Johnny rolled his eyes. “On the cheek through a mask. Don’t get too excited.”
Kenshi scoffed slightly. “You’re only saying that because Kitana waved you off.”
You and Liu Kang ignored the bickering that conspired. He smiled at you. “Well done. You have exceeded my greatest expectations.”
You smiled back at him. “Thank you, Lord Liu Kang.”
“Because of you the Outworlders who would disturb the peace will once again be held at bay.”
Liu Kang had became a mentor to you. Someone whom you admired. Someone that you cherished. You gave in to your instincts and hugged Liu Kang.
Liu Kang was at first shocked at your action. It reminded him that in a different timeline when Liu Kang had won the tournament, he was filled with excitement and hugged you, as you were his mentor. He couldn’t help but hug you back.
The two of you pulled away. “So…do I have to hear about Princess Mileena when we leave?” Raiden questioned. You made it a habit to talk about all the women you were interested in nonstop.
This made you roll your eyes and you put Raiden in a headlock. “How bout I beat you up instead?”
“Okay! Okay! Let me go!”
Hopefully you would meet Mileena again under different circumstances.
TO BE CONTINUED…

Mortal - Chapter 5
A Suguru Geto x fem!Reader Fanfiction
Words: 1741
Warnings: thoughts of murder(?), racism (It's suguru)
Summary: Mimico and Nanako get into a horrible car accident after a drunk night with their friends. Geto is called to the hospital where he discovers you, a human plagued by a cursed spirit, who saved his two precious daughters' lives from the fire. In this chapter, Suguru shows you the burden humanity is to his kind
Tumblr media
Suguru scrubbed the blood off his kimono. You would be back from your walk any second now. He had left his spirits to take care of the mess in the hallway. Another disgusting monkey had run its use and he had to take care of it. But you could not see that aftermath. He would not let you.
He wetted his fingers and combed back his sleek black hair. He frantically searched through his robes for the disinfecting deodorant he always wore after a meeting. He sprayed a little extra to cover the slight scent of iron the blood had left behind. He added cologne on top of that, just for good measure.
His strong arms supported his heavy body as he leaned over the sink. He looked at the cold water as it swirled before disappearing down the drain.
"What am I doing?", he said in a grievous tone, "What the fuck am I doing?"
He looked at his distressed face in the mirror. He was desperately trying to shield a matchstick castle from a hurricane. You would find out about his goals eventually and he already knew what response you would give then. He had spent hours imagining all the names you would possibly call him, awoken countless times from the thought of you slapping his face in disgust. But he could not stop. He had to have both. He had to have you, cause his heart would not let him do otherwise. But the same heart ached for his kin, urging him to continue his crusade against your kind.
"She's not human", he told himself again as he clenched his fists.
He had spent days researching your family history, trying to figure out the smallest link to jujutsu society. But to no avail; you were as human as can be and he could not stand it.
He heard your voice from the window as you greeted his previous visitors. He looked outside. You talked to the two of them with a smile on your face. You were so beautiful and kind, he could not help but smile himself. But that smile disappeared as you shook their hands.
"Don't touch them", he said through his teeth. The thought of their disgusting hands touching your soft skin was unbearable.
He returned to the sink, not wanting to continue watching the distasteful spectacle. He grabbed his disinfectant and made his way to the kitchen. There he filled a bowl full of water before heading towards your room.
"Suguru-san!", you smiled as you emptied your back, "How was your d-"
He set down the bowl between the two of you as he kneeled in front of you on the tatami. He pulled your hands toward him and dipped them inside the water. He poured some of the disinfectant on them along with a handful of soap before he began to clean.
"What are you doing?", you chuckle at his curious behaviour.
"You should wash your hands after going out", he said nonchalantly.
"I did, you have a small bathroom at the entrance"
The entrance was before she met the humans. That would not do. "That bathroom is filthy, you should clean yourself up in here"
"But..."
"Please", he slapped his hands on the rim of the bowl to get your attention, "Just do it. It's important to me. Don't ask why"
Your gaze trembled. You could tell it was upsetting him not to go along with his request. "Alright", you said softly, "I will"
He returned a smile of gratitude to you before going back to washing your hands. He had to get it off of you; that smell. The smell of those monkeys.
He was startled by how close you had suddenly gotten.
"Is that cologne?", you said sniffing the air.
"Y...yeah", Suguru had to clear his throat to conceal his stammer, "Yes, I'm afraid I tend to overdo it sometimes. Is it too bad?"
He was relieved to see you shake your head. "No it's ....", you turned your head away, a red tint softly painting the tip of your ears, "It's a nice one".
What would had normally flustered him now brought him an inexplicable amount of guilt. He was lying to you, but he had to. You would not understand even if he explained. Yet he knew this could not go on forever.
"Come along", he suddenly stood to his feet, "I want to show you something"
You looked at him puzzled before following him out into the maze of corridors. He managed his usually quick step so that you could walk to his side. Before long you were standing at a small prayer room with an altar in it. A few candles bathed the various photographs Suguru had arranged on it with their soft yellow light.
"What is this place?", you asked.
"Something I made to remember them", Suguru pointed at the photographs. They were mostly of two people: A young girl with her black braided hair half covered by a bandana and a young man with a ridiculous bowl haircut but also with the brightest smile you had ever seen. There were a few other people as well, but those two gained your attention the most cause in few of the photographs Suguru was with them as well.
"Were they your friends?", you asked.
"Yes", Suguru lit another candle, "They've been gone a long time now"
"Gone?"
"Dead", Suguru spat, "No. Killed"
You stepped closer, "What do you mean?"
"They died either from or protecting humans", Suguru said, refraining from adding the 'like you' part at the end of the sentence.
Your gaze fell. Suddenly he felt your arms wrapping around him from the side. His heartbeat quickened. His eyes widened. "I'm so sorry, Suguru-san", your voice betrayed genuine sorrow and it pleased him like nothing else.
He turned around to face you and wrapped his arms around you as well. His hand held the back of your head close to his chest as he buried his face in the crook of your neck. He let his senses be dominated by your intoxicating smell, so sweet like flowers and nothing like what all those monkeys carried to his temple. "Thank you my dear", he smiled and basked at the feeling of you holding him close.
He would get you to see. Slowly but surely you would see how awful humankind was. What a plague it had been to his people.
"It must be so hard for you to keep fighting spirits for us", Suguru's eye twitched at your words, "You're such a kind person"
Suguru did not know what he wanted to do at that moment. His heart fluttered with happiness cause you thought that after all this time he was still kind, yet he could not ignore the aching frustration of whom you thought that kindness was for. Yet it all dissipated at the warm feeling of your body pressed tightly against his. His hand hovered above your waist, wanting to pull you closer yet fearing he would somehow break you if he did.
He wanted the moment to last forever, but in the end, you pulled away. Your gaze returned to the photos. You picked one from his school days. Your lips stretched into a soft smile.
"You must have been popular", you pointed at him in the photo, "That's you, right? You look so cool!"
He chuckled. "You'd be surprised", he took the photograph in his hands, "I'm afraid there's not much room to be popular when your entire school has five students"
"Five?"
"Sorcerers are not very common, especially in the modern era", Suguru could not escape from the sorrowful expression he used to wear all the time during senior year, "We keep going after curses to save humans...so much that we're going extinct"
All colour was drained from his voice by the end of his sentence. His gaze hardened. He slammed the photo back to the altar. The raging storm in his eyes was only calmed by the touch of your hand on his.
"Then...why do you do it?"
"I'm sorry?", his brow furrowed at your sudden question.
"Why do you keep fighting curses?"
A sliver of hope lit a spark in Suguru's eyes. "You don't want me to fight curses? You don't want me to save people?"
"I...I think it's very brave. And I'm grateful", you said, " Like...firefighters. They choose to go into a burning building to rescue people, knowing they could die if something went wrong. But...if I had to choose...I would prefer if you were a living coward, rather than a brave corpse". You kept your gaze away. When you returned it to him it was full of fire and determination, so much so that it made Suguru's heart skip a beat.
"What if I told you there was a way there were no more fires", Suguru leaned in, his eyes overflowing with hope and victory, "What if there was a way there were no more curses?"
You looked at him stunned. "Is there?"
Suguru smiled. "Yes", he said to your surprise, "You see, this is what I'm trying to do"
"Suguru...that could change the world!", you looked at the altar, "If the curses are responsible for so many deaths...then...if they were gone..."
"Sorcerers could finally have peace, and happiness, and security", Suguru completed your sentence. He walked behind you and placed his hands on your shoulders, keeping your eyes away from his victorious expression. "A better world. That's my dream", he said, " A world where my friends are safe"
He twirled your hair in his fingers, his expression numbing. You finally agreed with him, somewhat at least, yet the thought of how he gorged those words out of you by trickery made him want to vomit. He left out of what had to be done in order for the dream to be achieved.
But what was he supposed to do? There you were, a human standing in front of him. It would be so easy to wrap his large hands around your fragile throat and break it like a small twig. There would be one less of you in this terrible terrible world. But, at the same time, there would be one less of YOU. You, y/n, not you a human. He could not imagine a day anymore where he did not gaze into your beautiful eyes. Where he did not hear your melodious laugh or sit beside you as you joyously told him about your day. He remained there, standing awkwardly behind you, wanting nothing more than to rest his head on yours and pull you into his embrace as every instinct yelled at him to dispose of you.

We are so brief. A one-day dandelion. A seedpod skittering across the ice. We are a feather falling from the wing of a bird. I don’t know why it is given to us to be so mortal and to feel so much. It is a cruel trick, and glorious.
— Louise Erdrich, "We are so brief" in "Future Home of the Living God" (Harper Large Print, November 14, 2017) (via Make Believe Boutique)
