Kung Lao and the 'Rock'

Summary: Kung Lao finds a fancy looking rock outside the Wu Shi Academy and brings it with him, however he's pretty sure rocks aren't supposed to whistle.

In the dead of night not too far from the Wu Shi academy a creature like no other limped through the trees and thicket. It's tall stature and long body weaved silently through the brush despite its hind legs and back being marred. Rabbits, deer, and other prey animals ran for cover as the creature approached, and even the feisty crocodiles in the marsh slunk back into their waters.

Held gently in the creature's mouth was an egg the color of bronze. The moons' light reflected off of it, blinding the creature for a quick moment. It flinched, sending pain through its body and causing it to growl. Still, it held a gentle grip on the egg and continued on.

The creature came to a stop by a stream. It wobbled but balanced itself and made its way over to a thick cluster of berry bushes. It very gently placed the egg in the middle of the bushes and gave it a quick nuzzle, then, using its nose, covered the egg with loose leaves and twigs until its bronze hue could no longer been seen.

Just as silently as the creature arrived, it left, leaving the egg behind.

Kung Lao huffed as he walked in the woods. His most recent sparring match with Liu Kang hadn't gone well, as was always the pattern. Normally he'd take whatever remarks he got in stride, however he wasn't feeling it this time, and simply decided to leave and find a place to sulk in silence. His first thought was his room, but he didn't want to risk Liu Kang barging in to lecture him. Much less, Raiden.

So he ultimately decided to take a walk in the woods. It was a warm day after all, why not enjoy some time in nature? He strolled along, enjoying the scenery of the sunrays poking through the trees and munching away on an apple. Eventually he found himself by a stream and he plopped onto his back, letting his signature hat fall off his head. The grass was a bit itchy, but itchy grass was better than a wounded ego.

The woods were rather quiet, he noticed. Normally there'd be birds singing and zipping around, but as he stared upwards into the trees, he saw not a single one. Odd. There weren't any other animals in sight either. A few bugs here and there, but the usual buzzing cicadas were absent as well. It was so eerily quiet and uncharacteristic of these woods. Kung Lao felt oddly unsafe.

Out of the corner of his eye he spotted a few berry bushes. He raised up off the ground, grabbing his hat on the way up. "Don't mid if I do," he said. He'd finished his apple by now, a few berries would be lovely. He stepped over to the bushes and began picking and eating a few berries. Usually these types of bushes had some manner of insect on them, but again, no creature in sight.

This was getting a little too weird for Kung Lao, and he began to wonder if something was actually wrong. He'd have to ask the other monks if they'd noticed anything amiss when he returned to the temple.

He reached down into the bush for more berries and flinched as he felt something hard on his fingertips. He yanked his arm back out of reflex and he was momentarily blinded by something.

"The hell was...?" Kung Lao blinked the glare away and curiously looked deeper into the bush. The color of bronze sat nestled inside and once again he was blinded. This time he pushed through the glare and dug into the bush to possibly find out whatever the object was.

The object turned out to be much bigger than he thought at first. He ended up having to grasp it with both hand and tug it upwards. He ended up falling on his butt when the bronze object finally came up out of the dirt and twigs. Still, he let out a sound of victory. He'd finally figure out what this thing was!

Oh, it's a rock. That's boring.

Still, it was a pretty rock, and it was lightweight. It would make a nice decoration for his room. As long as he kept it away from the window, that is. Gods this thing was blinding.

Tugging the rock out of the ground seemed to help Kung Lao's frustration subside and he decided to start making his way back towards the temple. He held the bronze rock in his arms, thinking of where he could place it in his room. It surly was an odd thing to find out in the woods, but hey, a lot of odd things have happened in his life thus far. Not to mention the animals seemed to be making noise again as he left! He took this all as a good omen for the rest of the day.

"Liu Kang, look what I found!" Kung Lao called over to his best friend as he climbed the last of the steps to the temple.

"A rock, Kung Lao?" Liu Kang tilted his head at him. He was quickly blinded by the shiny rock and blinked.

"Yeah, I found it buried in the woods. I think it'll look nice in my room somewhere."

"Your decorating will have to wait. Lord Raiden has been meaning to speak with you about your training."

"Damn," Kung Lao muttered. He really thought he'd avoid Raiden this time. "I'll be there in a moment. Just let me put this away."

Liu Kang nodded and jogged off. Undoubtedly to inform Raiden of Kung Lao's return. Kung Lao himself sighed, knowing that he'd be in for a long lecture most likely. So he took a little extra time in walking to his room. He whistled down the hall, holding the bronze rock and absentmindedly tapping it. For a moment he thought it tapped back. He disregarded it as his nerves.

"All right," he said, placing the rock on his cot. He gave on last sigh before turning around, whistling again as he went to leave.

Until he heard a whistle back.

He turned around, stopping his own whistling. He eyed the corners of his room suspiciously. Curiously, he whistled again. A simple, high pitched note.

He heard a whistle back.. and it was coming from the rock.

No. He had to confirm this. He knelt down by his cot, keeping his face closer to the rock to hear better. He whistled.

The rock whistled back. It was muffled, as if it was coming from inside it.

He paused. Then he whistled again, this time in a more musical rhythm.

Again, the rock whistled back, using his exact rhythm.

Somehow, Kung Lao was not entirely convinced. He whistled again, and again, and again. The rock whistled back the exact tune again, and again, and again.

"Oh..."

"Kung Lao, Raiden is growing impatient." Liu Kang suddenly appeared in Lao's doorway. Kung Lao only gestured for Liu to come over. When Liu did, Lao basically pulled him down to the floor. "What are you-?"

"Shut up. Listen."

Kung Lao whistled. The rock whistled back. The two monks sat in silence for a few moments, each giving each other 'what the hell' expressions. If it weren't for Raiden making himself known with a cough, they would've stayed like that for hours.

Raiden gave the two pointed looks as they turned to face him, rising off the floor.

"Lord Raiden, I-" Kung Lao is cut off by Raiden holding up a hand. Lao's expression falters.

Just as Raiden looked like he was about to start his lecture, the thunder god is momentarily blinded. He blinked and turned his attention to the bronze object on Kung Lao's cot.

A look of recognition washed over Raiden's face and he stepped between both Kung Lao and Liu Kang, making his way over to the cot. He knelt on the floor and began stroking the rock.

"It, uh, whistles back at me. Listen." Kung Lao whistled and, like before, the rock whistled back.

"Where did you find this?" Raiden asked, taking the rock in his arms and rising up off the floor.

"In the woods bellow the temple," Kung Lao replied. "It was nestled in a berry bush."

Raiden sighed.

"Kung Lao," Raiden started," this is a dragon egg, and it is close to hatching."

Also I think my writing is going through some kind of transition/ improvement period, so if it seems messy... yeah lol.

Lui Kang: "Is that a threat, hunter?"

You: "Just a friendly heads up."

Liu Kang: "What are those blades made of?"

You: "My dual blades? These are made from the parts of Rathalos and Rathian I've hunted."

Liu Kang: "They are pulsing with both flame and poison..."

Liu Kang: "My dragon fire does not effect you nearly as much as others."

Raiden: "I have no interest in pets."

You: "No Johnny, you cannot pet the monster I captured."

Johnny Cage: "Why not? It's just a big turkey!"

You: "A Kulu-Ya-Ku is stronger than it looks!"

🔓Requests are open at the moment🔓

Link to rules

🔥Hanzo Hasashi, is known for his strong and complex personality. He's a very passionate man, but he's a little goofy when it's just you around.

🔥 Hanzo is fiercely loyal, and in a relationship, he would prioritize his partner's safety and well-being. He'd go to great lengths to protect them. He's seen things he doesn't want you to witness, it would break his heart honestly.

🔥Despite his combat prowess, Hanzo is a terrible cook. GOD AWFUL. His attempts at making a simple sandwich often lead to hilarious disasters in the kitchen. YOU'D THINK FOR BEING ABLE TO CONTROL FIRE HE'D BE PERFECT BUT NO. He's not allowed near ANY kitchens.

🔥 Y'know his friendship finisher? He has a hidden collection of cute plush toys, which he claims are "for training purposes only." He cuddles with them when no one is around. One time you walked in and he was in a huge pile of these plushies, to which you got dragged down into.

🔥Outside of his usual outfit I feel like he dresses like a homeless man 🧍‍♂️

🔥I feel would keep an air of mystery around him, making his partner curious about his past and his fire like abilities. He wouldn't want to involve you in the past even if he's still clinging to it.

🔥Despite this his fiery nature would translate into a passionate and intense love. He'd express his feelings with great emotion.

🔥YOU GET FLOWERS EVERY MONTH BUT SOMETIMES THE STEMS ARE A BIT BURNT.

🔥Despite his agility and combat skills, Hanzo is notoriously clumsy in his everyday life. He often trips over his own feet, slips on banana peels, and crashes into things when not in battle. Imagine you watched him fight someone with no problems, he turns to give you a kiss or something like that and he trips over nothing.

🔥Being serious for a moment, I feel like he will definitely train his partner. God forbid he's not around to defend you and something happens, he doesn't want history to repeat itself.

"My love what are you doing?"

The Earthrealm's warriors were used to the relentless training, the brutal battles, and the life-or-death scenarios. But there was one thing they couldn't quite wrap their heads around Hanzo's newfound obsession: cupcakes.

You were lounging in the living room of your shared home, scrolling through your tablet when you heard an unusual sound coming from the kitchen. Following the curious noise, you discovered your husband furiously whisking a bowl of batter, his mask hanging by his side as if it was just another day at the bakery he doesn't work at.

"What's going on here?" you asked, trying to stifle a laugh as you watched him struggle with a mixer.

Hanzo looked up, his fiery gaze locking onto you but he looked like a dear in headlights. "I have discovered the art of cupcakes," he declared, his voice as serious as ever.

You couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Honey, you're not allowed in the kitchen but you're making cupcakes?"

"Yes," he replied, determination in his eyes. "I was bored..." He mumbled as an excuse, but just the other day you and a friend were talking about wanting cupcakes.

Scorpion continued to wrestle with the mixer as you decided to step in. Gently taking the mixer from his hands with a soft chuckle. Together, you managed to create a lumpy cupcake batter that was a mix of all sorts of ingredients he had found in the kitchen. There were sweet and savory items like ketchup, chocolate chips, and even some mysterious spices. Did you know that? Absolutely not, is that for the better? You'll find out.

With a wink, you handed Hanzo a tray of cupcake liners. "Time to get these in the oven."

He nodded, but then his gaze fell upon the oven as he frowned. "How do I make it... bake with love?" he asked, looking genuinely puzzled. Causing you to giggle in amusement, causing him to break his confused mask he put up and laugh with you.

You smiled and set the oven to the right temperature. As you popped the tray into the oven. Hanzo stepped back, his memory flooding with flashbacks to the last time he used the oven.

A few minutes later, you were both treated to the smell of something that was part chocolate chip cookie, part ketchup-flavored cupcake wafting from the oven. You couldn't help but exchange a look and burst into laughter once again.

Your husband, however, couldn't go back to being serious, he was smiling like a child. "We shall call these 'Kombat Kupcakes,' a deadly delicacy," he announced with pride.

As you both sampled the cupcakes, your taste buds were assaulted by a strange combination of flavors. They weren't the best cupcakes, but there was no denying the effort Hanzo had put into making them.

And in that moment, you couldn't help but think, "You're ridiculous, Hanzo, but I love it."

As the two of you sat there, munching on the bizarre creations, you realized that even a fearsome fire bending ninja like Scorpion had a goofy and endearing side, one that you cherished above all else.

"You're still not allowed to use the kitchen."

"Oh come on I'm not a child!"

{A soft moment between you and Liu Kang}

Super fluffy and very domestic!! Hope you enjoy my lovelies! 💕

⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆

Evenings in the Shaolin monastery never fail to take your breath away, how the pink and orange hues from the setting sun seem to bleed together, casting its warm light across the horizon. You admire the beauty of the scenery from the quaint little space you found. Hidden away from the other monks, a small open room lit by candles, where you could enjoy some tea in peace.

You allow your mind to drift as you take a deep breath, taking in the sounds of nature and distant water, only to be pleasantly interrupted by Liu Kang as he enters your quaint space with consideration, careful, so as to not rip you away from your meditative state.

“Nice of you to join me” you smile, shuffling to make space on the wooden floor for him to sit beside you, and he does so without hesitation, sitting on the blanket you laid upon the floor, “How did you find me?” You wonder as he looks at you with soft eyes.

“I couldn’t find you anywhere, I figured you’d be here” he explains, his hands finding yours, stopping you from pouring him some tea. “How is your head?” He tilts his chin slightly as he caresses your cheek, thumb soothing the space under your eye.

You had told him you weren’t feeling all too well this morning, way before he left to help Raiden and Kung Lao with whatever needed their attention around the Shaolin Temple. He had offered to look after you, the ever-caring man that he was, but yet his duties called him and he was whisked away from you.

Liu Kang can’t help but smile as you lean into his warm hand, the fabric of his bandages are rough against your skin but that doesn’t stop you. “A lot better than this morning” you hum, fingers wrapping around his wrist, gently bringing his hands down to your lap.

“Nothing some ginger tea couldn’t help” You begin unwrapping the bandages from his hands ever so carefully. He relishes in the way it feels, almost as if the tension from him unravels along with the tough cloth. You take a moment to run your fingertips across his slightly calloused palms, making a mental note to buy more hand cream.

The absence of the sun brings a cold chill, one that causes a shiver to run down your spine. Liu Kang notices, and with a soft frown, he reaches from behind you, picking up the knitted shawl and draping it over your shoulders before pressing a kiss to your cheek.

“Mhm, I am glad to hear” he whispers, shuffling to sit behind you. He wraps his arms around your waist, resting his chin on your shoulder as you continue to drink the warm liquid. “Tomorrow I am all yours my heart, the two of us can do whatever you please,” he says and you don't have to look at him to know there's a smirk on his lips.

His chest blooms with warmth at the way you giggle, a sound Liu Kang couldn’t possibly ever get bored of, “Whatever I please? Hmm, you might come to regret saying that” There’s a certain playfulness in your words that only drives Liu Kang to hold you tighter, peppering your shoulder with soft kisses.

“Learn from it… perhaps, but regret I could never, every moment with you is deeply cherished” his words carry a certain weight to them, something that doesn’t go amiss as his lips continue to playfully trail up towards your jaw.

“Like you learned from the baking incident?” you remind him of the series of unfortunate events all over again. How the sweet treat ended up being terribly charred and completely inedible. You can feel Liu Kang's chest rise and fall from behind you as he laughs, calloused hands slipping into your own.

“Yes, I learned not to let you distract me” he teases, thumb soothing along your knuckles. Another gust of wind pushes through the trees, and you’re thankful that the god of fire is sitting behind you, holding you close to him. But despite his warm presence, he still notices the goosebumps that invade your body and the slight shiver that crawls through your spine.

“Let’s go home before you catch a cold” he whispers, lips grazing against your ear before standing up. The loss of his warmth hits you suddenly, and you are made very aware of the autumn winds. Liu Kang helps you to your feet, and with linked arms, the pair of you make your way home.

The rest of the night he spends practically glued to your hip, touching you in any way he possibly can and true to his words, the next day is spent doing whatever you please.
