mileena.

"could you not look at me like that?" syzoth hissed, earning a light laugh from me. i ignored his bitchy attitude and waved my freshly painted hand in his face, "like them, rep? yori painted them for me!"

syzoth rolled his eyes, "act your age, mileena." 

i playfully scoffed, i knew he was joking. syzoth's feelings towards me were pretty obvious, plus i heard him and another resident talking about it. i chose not address it, though. i didn't want to make things weird.

me and syzoth continued with our usual senseless chatter, us not really having anything else to do on this uneventful saturday. currently, we were seated in the courtyard. i'm not really sure where my father is at the moment - or where he's been for the past two days - but yori told me not to worry.

i almost jumped out of my seat, though, when i saw my said father strut into the courtyard. i ran to him, engulfing him in a hug - him, as usual, shoving me away. i was used to my affection being rejected, so i ignored it.

he made his way over to his throne, shang tsung following close behind him like the kiss ass he is. he plopped his over-sized body down and beckoned me over, "come here mileena."

i didn't hesitate to rush to my father's side, giving him a small bow. syzoth just sat silently on the ground, where we seated before.

"yes, daddy?" i piped, a smile spreading across my face, under my mask. my father hesitated before replying in his deep, booming voice, "i'm sending you to train."

"really? again?" i asked excitedly, "should i go to the training room, now?"

my father shook his head, a irritated expression plastered on his face. "no, mileena," he growled, "i'm sending you to train in earthrealm."

my face dropped.

earthrealm? why the hell earthrealm?

"earthrealm?" i repeated, earning a nod from my father. "yes, mileena," he retorted, "i have agreed to let grand-master hanzo hisashi train you. behave, because if you slip up once, i'll have your fucking head."

i felt the tears beginning to pool in the corner of my eyes. i choked them back, though, nodding respectively at my father. "go get your things, yori will take you where you need to be," he demanded, dismissing me after muttering a 'don't embarrass me.'

i winced at the lack of emotion i heard in his tone as i began trudging out of the courtyard, syzoth following me.

"he's sending you to earthrealm?" syzoth asked as if he didn't just hear what the fuck just happened. it was hard holding back my angry tears as i answered him through gritted teeth, "yes, syzoth."
