The Disciples

Chapter 15

What have I gotten myself into? I'm too petrified to even move or speak. I could only have my mouth hung down agape as both Edenian siblings made their way to me. I better run but then again, Kitana would have just throw her fan at me and Mileena would have pounced on me like a panther.

I have no where else to run.

"Look," I managed to find my voice. "Let me explain-"

"Is it true?" Kitana interrogated me. I gulped and nodded slowly. Before Kitana would say anything, Mileena tackled me to the ground while I yelped in surprised. Knowing this is too much, I kicked the Tarkatan princess in the stomach. But I won't deny the guilt I'm feeling for the both of them.

Kitana's my mentor. I'm not suppose to keep this a secret and tell her like a good little disciple. But my damn dick just controls my actions more than my own brain! What have I gotten myself into? Before any of the ladies could react, I held both Mileena and Kitana in a strong hold to prevent them from killing each other.

"Before you can kill me," I breathed. "Yes, I know about your sister, Kitana. And Mileena, no you can't eat anyone. You two will have to get along before the world dies in your father's hand! So, one of you fighting of the throne is useless."

I was met with another slap to the face by my mentor. Seriously, am I her living and mobile punching bag?

"Kitana," I look at my mentor without any fear. "No matter if she was created in the Pits or pulled out of your mother's womb, she's still your sister nonetheless. Try and at least bond with her."

Before I knew it, Kitana subdued Mileena before taking off with me. Not a word utter out of her ever since we returned back from the palace. She stormed off with Jade following behind to console her friend. I was left alone, leaving myself to my own thoughts.

"She found out, huh?" Riana's presence made my heart jump at the sudden sound of her voice. Kurt detached from his position on his shoulder and climbed his way to mind. I petted him for comfort. The bearded dragon closed his eyes, relaxing to my touch.

"He knows you're in trouble," Riana gestured to her beard dragon. "It seems off to have reptiles feel emotions but Kurt has been expressing ever since he was small as my finger."

I could not say anything to my sister. I'm just too broken up. Kitana found out which means Jade will know and my relationship with her will all go down to shit. Hell, the whole of Edenia will be after me! What will my friends think? What will people say when they saw me at the tournament? Shang Tsung is definitely going to suck my soul and kill me in the process.

"Nash," my sister draped an arm around me as she sat down next to me on the floor. "I know you made those mistakes. I made my mistakes as well ever since we got here. All we could do now is carry on. What else have we got to lose?"

I sighed deeply. It has been like what four to five days and I'm still not understanding the choices I made here? I've been playing this game since I went to a fucking arcade! How could I not know this?!

"Why don't you and I go for a walk down the Outworld market?" Riana suggested. "Come on, it'll do you good from all the crap you've been through. Plus, let's use our money to spend on finding a perfect weapon."

Got nothing else to do, I accepted the offer.

...

Outworld market has never been this busy. Not that I know of it since it only showed some scenes in the game as a cutscene. We were browsing through different stalls, finding different weapons catches our attention. And also have a reasonable price so that we don't go back with an empty pouch.
