Disclaimer: I don't own Mortal Kombat

Picking up right where we left off, Rain, Jade, and Kitana are going to visit Shao Kahn. Their were visiting Mr. Kahn to see if Rain could get out of his mission with Reiko.

"Now tell me why is it you can't go on the mission I gave you?" Kahn asked Rain.

"I'm just not comforstable." Rain said.

"Well did you try swapping with someone?" Kahn asked

"There is no one to swap with." Rain said.

"Father, we were wondering if you could just drop him from the mission." Kitana said.

"Out of the question. You know my policy is you can only get out of a mission via a swap our if you are injured. And by the way, why are you uncomfortable about a simple mission in Seido?" Kahn asked.

"It's not the mission, it's my partner."

"Yeah. His partner has a crush on him!" Jade blurted out.

"At least I'm not the object of affection for a damn cro..."

"I'm sorry! Please don't let that out!" Jade pleaded

Shao Kahn chose to ignore the two. "So who is your partner on this mission again?"

Rain sighed deeply "Reiko"

"Don't you find it funny that Reiko of all people to gay?" Kitana asked no one in particular.

"I found it odd at first." Kahn said.

"At first? Do you mean to tell me you knew he was gay?" Kitana asked.

"Yes"

"How did you find out?" Rain asked.

"Well one day I was very angry over a failed mission by Ermac and Reptile. Well I was casuing a storm and destroying the throne room, when Reiko offered to comfort me." Kahn said

"That doesn't sound that gay..." Jade said.

"He offered to comfort me by cough with his mouth." Kahn said the latter half extremely fast. Everyone was silent.

"That guy needs help..." Jade said

"Once, I even walked in on him in my private chamber. He was wearing my helmet and calling himself 'The Wife of Shao Kahn'. It was a very traumatizing sight." Kahn said. "But thanks to that therapy Shang Tsung got me, I'm much better now. I even got over my thoughts of smashing him into pieces with my bare hands and then feeding his remains to Baraka."

"I see" Jade and Kitana said in unison.

"But back to the matter at hand. I cannot switch you out of this mission." Kahn said as he was leaving the room

Up until this point Rain had been as silent as a rock. "Please My Lord! I can't do it! I don't have the power!" Rain said crying. He grabbed on to Kahns left leg like a small child who doesn't want daddy to go to work.

"Rain get off! Now unless you by some miracle get injured from now until then, you will go!" Kahn said.

That's when got desperate. He didn't want to do it, but it needed to be done. He reached for a small holster near Kitana's thigh and grabbed a fan(luckily he did it on the side where her arm was hurt to avoid getting hit) and then lodged it into his shoulder and screamed in pain.

Kahn sighed." Get some medics in here."

The next day

Rain sighed in happiness. He didn't have to go to Orderrealm(truth be told, he wasn't looking foward to the mission even before the Reiko incident.) He was on the injured list so he didn't have to worry about training or going on missions until he healed. And earlier, when Jade came back from her mission in Chaosrealm her and Ermac's clothes were all torn Normally this wouldn't mean anything. But while she was yelling at Ermac for blowing the mission she took a swing at him and her tattered top fell off! It was a lovely sight.

He then smiled as he thought about the best part of the day; no Reiko. Well that changed...

"Where the hell were you?" Reiko screamed as he burst into the room.

"When?" Rain asked

"During our mission!" Reiko screamed.

"I was right here. In case you haven't noticed, I'm a little banged up." Rain said

"Oh no! How did you get hurt? Oh it doesn't matter! Come here and let me nurse you back to health!" Reiko said approaching Rain.

Rain ran out of the way at light speed."Listen dammit! I'm not gay! I like female!"

Reiko was fighting back tears"But I love you. I even planned for us to make love under the Seidan moon."

"Well that's nver going to happen!" Rain shouted

Reiko then become enraged. "Fine then. If you can't see the chemistry between us, then I'll show you." Reiko then tossed a thousand or so ninja stars at Rain, pinning him to the wall. Reiko then appraoched for a kiss.

Unfortunately, Rain was weak from loosing blood when he stabbed himself and couldn't get free. So he did the only thing he could think to do; he did a high pitched girly scream that would make Sindel jealous. Luckily, his room shared a wall with another warrior you wasn't in the mood to hear the yelling. Reptile burst into the room.

"What issss the meaning of thissss?" Reptile hissed.

"Reptile help!" Rain yelled.

"Why sssshould I?"

That was a good point. Reptile really could care less about such a situation."Because...I discovered he was trying to overthrow Shao Kahn! I said I would tell, so he's trying to kill me!" Rain lied.

"No I'm no..."

"You dare try to kill my massssster? You will die for your betrayel!" Reptile said as he removed his mask and devoured Reiko in one bite. He then freed Rain.

"Thanks buddy." Rain said

"Think nothing of it."

"How can I repay you?"

"Easssssy. Ssssssset up a date with me and Jade."

"No prob. I know how much you like her."

"Yesssss. Sssshe isssss sssso ssssexy. If I ever got my clawssss on her, I would..."

"Stop right thier man. I do not need to hear that."

In the Neatherrealm

"You! Did you not serve Shao Kahn while alive?" Shinnok asked Reiko. Reiko nodded.

"Excellant! If you serve me, I will grant you life when we exit this putrid realm. Do I have your service?"

"Sure. But could you do me a favor?" Reiko asked

Shinnok arched an eyebrow"What might that favor be?"

"Tell your friend I think he's cute." Reiko said pointing to Quan Chi.

A/N: Finished! WE now know how Reiko died and meet up with Shinnok and who had a crush on Jade.
