Mileena wringed out the cold washcloth and set it upon the unconscious Hanzo's forehead, he was breathing hard and sweating like crazy as if he had a fever. Mileena then spread the washcloth all along Hanzo's face, this seemed to calm his breathing as it became slower and lighter. Without thinking Mileena stroked Hanzo's face with her free hand, she cupped his cheek in her hand rubbing his cheek bone with her thumb. However Hanzo in his slumber almost frightened her, Mileena noticed that even as he lay unconscious he could not find peace, sleep was supposed to be the one place where you could find peace, Hanzo instead looked like he was in as much pain and torment as he was even before he killed Quan Chi. In an effort to calm Hanzo down she lifted him up and held him close to her chest as she wrapped her arms around his head, and stroked the back of his head. The gesture must have worked because Hanzo had nuzzled his face against Mileena's breasts making her gasp slightly.

At first his sight was blurry as Hanzo began to open his eyes, the next thing he knew he felt something very soft against his face, suddenly Hanzo realized the situation he was currently in and got red in the face. Mileena noticed that Hanzo had awoken, she held onto him even tighter, Hanzo couldn't really say he wasn't enjoying the sensations he was receiving from Mileena's breasts, but he was feeling very nervous he had never been in this particular situation. A soft sensation came over Hanzo when he realized while he was entranced by his situation… and Mileena's breasts he hadn't realized she had moved her hand and was gently rubbing his chest and shoulders very sensually. It was in this moment that Hanzo remembered that Mileena had struck an alliance with Quan Chi, but before Hanzo acted he thought to himself then why was he still alive, if she had been working with Quan Chi she wouldn't have let him live at all.

The conclusion that Hanzo made was the Mileena was an opportunist and was adapting to the situation that had overcome the new Empress of Outworld. Just as Hanzo tried to move Mileena seemed to try to hold him down not wanting him to leave. So much so that once she pushed him down she wrapped her entire body around him as if they were cuddling, but Hanzo was not having it, he had done what he agreed to do, now there was only one thing left to do.

"Mileena please release me, there is one final thing that I must do, and I must do it immediately" Hanzo said not in an annoyed tone or an angry tone but a tone that seemed depressed like he was preparing for something important.

"What do you mean Hanzo, you killed Quan Chi, you got what you wanted, you can live any life you want now, there's nothing left anymore to do" Mileena said still desperately holding onto Hanzo.

"No Mileena this is something that I must do, and I'm sorry but you can't come with me" Hanzo said lightly pushing her off and got up which shocked Mileena, Hanzo had never apologized to her, what was so important that he would apologize to her.

"I don't understand Hanzo, why won't you just let me in, I have tried with you, I gave you what you want, and you know why, and even when I pour my heart out to you, you still refuse me, what is it?, am I really that ugly that you find me physically repulsive, PLEASE tell me what's wrong with me and I will gladly change for you Hanzo, I will do anything to keep you by my side...I love you Hanzo Hasashi" Mileena siad tears forming in her eyes and her lower lip shaking trying to hold back the tears.

Hanzo started walking over to Mileena, he seemed to not be affected at all by what Mileena said, instead he looked as if he was ready for something, for what Mileena could not tell, once Hanzo got close enough to Mileena he looked straight into her eyes, he gently grabbed her by the shoulders and place a small kiss on her forehead while cupping her cheek with his hand before backing away again.

"Your a very beautiful woman, and that's why I have to leave...goodbye" Hanzo said before vanishing in his fire teleportation.

Shock and Heartache over took Mileena as soon as Hanzo left, she felt as if her heart was in free fall, not knowing how to take what Hanzo had said to her. She didn't know what he meant either, he had called her beautiful but why should that mean he has to leave, Mileena could take it no more, she fell to her knees, gritting her teeth and trying as best she could to hold back her tears but to no avail. She felt as if she was choking on her own tears as she sobbed, her heart felt as if it were being ripped into pieces, Mileena felt nothing but anguish, her entire face felt as if it were drenched with her tears.

Then she realized what Hanzo had meant when he said he must do something, and her anguish was replaced with worriedness and fear, quickly wiping her tears away and sprinting her way to the portal to Earthrealm, she past her loyal servants without a second glance, they saw the fright and determination in her eyes, she didn't answer them as they called out for her, they chased after her. Mileena finally reached the portal to Earthrealm in her palace, she didn't even second guess herself she jumped right in but quickly closed it behind her so nobody could follow behind her. She needed to stop this by herself.

In the Shirai Ryu temple as well as Hanzo's former house that he and his family once lived in Hanzo was in his traditional yellow kimono like the one he had worn when had gone on walks with his wife Kana and son Jubei, it reminded him of them and the smile he had long forgotten that his wife said she had fallen in love with so very long ago. Hanzo had done his best to repair the house after the Lin Kuei attack had all but burned it to the ground. Before Hanzo was a small table in front of him, on the table sat two items, a cup of sake and right next to the sake was a long Shirasaya Tanto still in its scabbard. Hanzo's hair was down he looked exactly as he did he was sent to retrieve Shinnok's amulet before the first Sub Zero killed him he grabbed the sake and with one swift sib he consumed it all, it is time he said to himself. He knew it was probably impossible for him to meet his wife and son in the afterlife, after all they were in a place he could not hope to go to, but if there was a the tiniest glimmer of hope that he could be with them forever he was going to take it.

Using one arm he exposed his abdomen through his Kimono, he grabbed the Tanto dagger from the table and unsheathed it, the blade gleamed from the little light that filled the room. Hanzo was finally going to find peace in his life that had been consumed by loss, fear, hatred, and rage, Hanzo bowed his head as tradition called for it before turning the Tanto's blade towards his abdomen. Hanzo took a long inhale as he deemed it his last breath as he raised the Tanto over his head, the blade pointing downward, as Hanzo exhaled time seemed to slow down as he started to bring the knife down towards his stomach, however before Hanzo could complete his suicide he heard a voice that sounded all to familiar call out for him to stop.

"What?" Hanzo said looking around but finding nobody there.

"Hanzo don't" The voice came again.

"Who's there" Hanzo said getting up.

"Hanzo, I know what your going through, but it's alright you don't have to do this we forgive you" The voice said coming from the corner of the room as a figure began to take shape, it took the shape of Kana Hasashi, Hanzo's late wife.

"Kana" Hanzo said in disbelief.

"Hanzo I know what your thinking and I know what's in your heart, and who it desires" Kana said.

"What are you talking about Kana, my the only thing my heart desires now is too belong with you and Jubei in the afterlife" Hanzo said trying to touch Kana's ghostly form but was unable too.

"You were never a good liar Hanzo, I know you better than that, I know what's in your heart, and I know that your heart has been awoken by someone else, and it's fine Hanzo, you shouldn't have to bare the burden of our deaths, you have done all we can ask of you, and now it's time to move on" Kana said with a short smile on her ghostly face.

"But… I, I cannot just leave you and Jubei behind" Hanzo said staring regretfully at the ground.

"It is alright if your heart desires another, just never forget us, and we will never forget you, I love you Hanzo" Kana said rubbing his cheek with her hand.

When Hanzo looked up again Kana was gone, even as she had said she forgave him he still felt like he had betrayed his family and silently wept for a minute or two and pandered what his deceased wife had said. A sudden pain in Hanzo's chest, it felt as if something was clenching his heart and he felt like it was hard to breathe, it was many of the final steps of letting go. A thought of Mileena came to Hanzo's mind and it seemed to lessen the pain, regretfully he had to admit since she kissed him he had felt as if his heart was once again able to feel human again. The smell of her ebony hair was sweet and very enticing, when it had made contact with Hanzo's face it was so soft it was almost intoxicating. Her eyes though many would find them terrifying like that of a cats yellow eyes he found it alluring like her very nature which was seductive. Her voice though it could be menacing when provoked, was also smooth and sultry with a hint of childishness which made Hanzo smile inside.

Finally Scorpion accepted the fact that his heart had desired someone else and let the tanto dagger drop from his hand. As Hanzo slowly rose up he heard footsteps and a voice call out to him, it was Mileena running towards him. When she reached him, she nearly crashed into him holding and nearly crushing him in a hard embrace.

"Please don't do it Hanzo, I will do anything to make you happy, I will give you anything you desire, you please don't leave me" Mileena pleaded with tears forming in her eyes.

As Mileena was pleading with Scorpion he just smiled, tipped Mileena's chin up, put one hand on her right cheek and gently pushed his lips into hers. They just stood there lips locked holding each other in their arms and enjoyed every second of it.
