4 hours earlier, as the girls were still dancing. Ashanti had noticed you were leaving with someone. She didn't know whether to be concerned or not, then Rhonda hugged up her arm. startling her, she didn't even know she was coming. "So question girl does, Liu Kang got a brother?" Ashanti rolled her eyes, telling her no. He never really talked about a family.

"I just saw Y/N leave with somebody, for some reason my gut is telling me to go after her... She was bit tipsy." Ashanti said in a worried tone.

"Seriously! Girl I bet she was looking for someone to have sex with. OH! We should see if our girl got anything!" Rhonda suggested getting the other girls, just to spy on your sexual life. They all followed together where you left out, they stepped outside and didn't see you, but heard sounds coming from the side of the building.

They all slightly peeked out on the side of the corner, not all the way to be detected. They saw you being thrown into a white truck limp. Rhonda wanted to jump in, but Jamika and Tonya held her back and covered her mouth.

"What do you think you're doing?" Jamika whispered.

"To try and rescue my girl clearly." Rhonda whispered back

"Bitch there is many of them and not enough of you... Plus we black, we don't approach things like this." Tonya whispered

"We should call the police?" Jamika suggested.

"That won't do anything, they about to pull off. Like you said we black, they ain't going to do two shits, it'll quickly fall short and lie about they couldn't find anything." Ashanti informed them, she noticed on the back of white cart. In the corner the name said the the red dragon clan, she heard of that clan from Liu Kang.

"Although I know someone who will, let's call our magic friends." Ashanti told them.

~~~

Ashanti had made a call to Liu Kang, yes Liu Kang had a phone at her demand and request, she was trying to keep calm and explained to him what happened and told him the groups name and everything. He had created a portal in the alley they were all standing in, he walked out greeting the familiar faces and a new face. He came out with Bi-han, Kuai Liang, and Tomas with him by his side.

Ashanti ran up and hugged Liu Kang, happy he came. "I was worried, this is something a fire god would find something not worth his time or serious that us lower people can handle." Ashanti chuckled nervously.

He cupped her face, "Not at all my goddess, you are always worth my time. Also my job is to protect earthrealm, whether it is big or small." Liu Kang told her, making her blush.

"He told us that you seen the Red Dragon Clan?" Bi-han asked, not trying to be here longer than he has to.

"Y-Yes, it was on the name of the cart." Ashanti answered.

"Yeah and they drove off with our girl, we don't know where though." Rhonda said worried, Tomas saw the concern in her tone and face.

"Don't worry we already have our Lin Kuei men on the search and look out for her, they won't get far. We promise she'll be okay." Tomas comforted Rhonda, putting her hand on his shoulders. She nodded shyly.

"We will also be on the search with them, to gather more leads. On why the red dragon clan was out here." Kuai Liang interjected.

"Who are these so call Red Dragon Clan?" Jamika asked curiously.

"An enemy that has been a thorn to my side. The Lin Kuei and Red Dragon has been enemies for many years." Bi-han answered frustrated.

"They are a clan that seeks to dominate many territories such as Bi-han explained the Lin Kuei, the temple, and more. To become a powerhouse of the world, and it's hold on everyone." Liu Kang explained.

"Sounds complicated." Tonya said.

"Which way did they go? And what does she look like?" Bi-han ordered. All the girls pointed to the direction they headed. Rhonda showed him a picture on her phone of you, he nodded. gesturing his head to his brothers to get moving, they quickly left leaving the girls and Liu Kang. Ashanti watched with worry.

Liu Kang pulled her close squeezing her arm, "She will be alright my goddess, Bi-han and the lin kuei will make sure of it." He smiled at her than looked her up and down. She looked away from shyly, knowing what he was thinking. Although they both knew it wasn't the right moment for that. "Would you ladies like to come to the temple and wait for your friend there?" Liu Kang offered.

They all nodded, and Liu Kang created a portal in the alleyway back to his temple.

You were seriously trying to break this mans grip on your neck, but as you slowly was blacking out from loss of oxygen. You heard someone shout something, making you drop. You began coughing trying to regain oxygen back into your lungs, you looked up and notice some guy in like blue ninja gear staring at the man that was holding you.

"Well if it isn't the great grandmaster of the lin kuei Bi-han, to what I owe the pleasure?"

"Return the woman to me, and I will make your death swift Gojin." Bi-Han glared at Gojin, gojin picked you up by your hair. Your eyes watery, as your head is in pain from the grip.

"You mean this little thing." He pulled down his mask, and began licking your face. That got you pissed, and you put all your energy in your left hand punching his jaw. He dropped you gripping his jaw in pain.

"You niggas keep yo filthy tongue off my fucking face!" You shouted in anger, Gojin was about to charge at you, before intervening throwing an ice spear between them. Missing him on purpose, it made you jump and you made eye contact Bi-Han. He quickly looked at you.

"Come here." He ordered, you blushed not thinking twice. You don't know why that turned you on, it must of been that deep dominating voice he gave you. You stood back where he was as he creep towards your captor, Gojin growled at you both.

"Red Dragon!" Gojin called, but nothing happened. He looked around wondering why his men haven't come. "What's the matter Gojin, wondering where your little misfits are? Did you already forget who we are?" Bi-han smirked, slowly out of the shadows his brothers and the Lin Kuei revealing themselves surrounding them.

You unconsciously gripped the back of Bi-Han's shirt, from shock and surprised by the ninjas that just suddenly appeared. Gojin looked around him fear in his heart but his eyes burned hot with anger, looking at Bi-han. He charged after with his sword, Bi-han formed an ice blade blocking his attack.

freezing his feet in place, kicking him hard. making him bend back than normal, breaking his knees from the uncomfortable bend earning a scream from him. Before Bi-han slammed the ice blade through his forehead into the ground killing him instantly.

'damn' you said under your breath. It was scary and badass at the same time, you realized after finally relaxing from trying to escape and run. That you ended up passing out, the last thing you heard was someone asking if you were okay.

~~~

You were beginning to wake up, your eyes squinting from the brightness of a lot light hitting you. You looked around and noticed you were in a nice looking room. You tried sitting up, rubbing your eyes to adjust your vision better. It was very fancy and traditional, Chinese scriptures around the room and pillars. Someone was walking into the room, it was your friend Rhonda who noticed you awake and quickly went to call the other girls.

"Y/N!" They rushed in pouncing you all together, you were really happy to see the girls hugging each other. "OMG I WAS S-S W-WORRIED A-A-ABOUT...YOUUUU!" Rhonda started crying dramatially, sniffling you looked her with a smile rubbing her back. Then you started to tear up a bit.

You were scared and worried that you wouldn't see your friends or family again, the other three pulled back as you and Rhonda was hugging each other tight. "I know Rhonda, I'm okay now. Thanks to these weird ninjas."

"One of them in blue carried you here, after you fainted." Jamika told you

"Those were one of my champions and there clan."

All the girls turned there attention, seeing Liu Kang with Bi-han and Kuai Liang on each side of him. "Ashanti had informed me what had happened, you were taken by someone the lin kuei knew to well. I had them retrieve you and We brought you back to my temple."

"Bi-Han!" You got up and quickly gave him a hug thanking him. Everyone looked at you and him in shock, confused, and cute. Bi-han was completely caught off guard and didn't know what to say or how to react, because it was all new to him. Kuai Liang whispered in his ear, "You should accept her kindness brother and return it, as she thanking you." Kuai Liang smirked.

Bi-han just lightly patted your head, "I only came because of orders... but you are...welcome." the last part was hard for Bi-Han to say. You smirked, sneaking a kiss on his cheek. Before quickly scurrying out the room with the girls giggling, leaving Bi-han shocked and confused.

"Looks like you have a secret admirer brother." Tomas entered seeing the event from afar laughing with Kuai Liang and Liu Kang.

"Mind your business TOMAS!" Bi-han barked before excusing himself

.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.

You were glad that you didn't have any classes today, you needed some rest and break from everything that happened last night. Liu Kang was kind enough to have you and the girls relaxed at his place as a little vacation, till you felt more comfortable and better returning.

Ashanti was definitely taking this opportunity to spend time with her lover. You and the other girls were near this small bridge looking at the river with the colorful fishes. "So... Bi-han huh? I see you too are already at first name bases?" Rhonda jokes nudging you. You only smiled shaking your head, "I only knew it because that guy that was trying to kill me said his name. And I was just thanking him, he probably doesn't even know my name."

"Mhmm yeah right." all three of them said in unison. You ignored the group walking away, to take a stroll in the little garden Liu Kang had. "Hey I know we just be hassling you girl, but in all seriousness... You good sugarfoot?" Jamika asked, walking with you.

"I'm okay." was all you said.

"I don't mean physically girlie, like what happened to you any-"

"I'm just happy I'm safe now... I'm good really girl, it was scary at the moment. But I'm thankful Ashanti had her man assist with it... But right now I'm happy I'm not dead and can see you all again." You looked at her with a tired smile, Jamika understanding you don't want to talk about it any further. Everyone handles a scary situation they do differently, Jamika just gives you a hug.

"I'm happy you're still with us as well." Jamika smiled, you were about to say something else. Until you saw the other girls coming where you all were at with Ashanti. "Why ya'll running?" You questioned, as one of them were out of breath.

"I wanted to tell you, while I was with my boo. He told me they are having another Mortal Kombat event for earthrealm. He asked if I wanted to come and watch the ordeal alongside him and to see if you guys wanted to come?" Ashanti said excitedly, a bit disheveled, with a messy bun.

"that sounds cool, and I'm sure the others agreed. But... I don't know.."

"Johnny and his other champions will be there... That includes Bi-han." Rhonda smirked at you deviously, seeing how you perked up at his name.

"You think you slick bitch but you're not." You gave her the bombastic side-eye.

"You know you want to see that nigga again, we all can see you've grown a little crush on him." Rhonda retorted.

"Whatever fine, fuck it I'll go. When is it?" You asked Ashanti.

"It's in two weeks, so with that I'm putting in my notice right now to be off for three days for this event." Ashanti looked at Jamika, Tonya nodded the same looking at her.

Jamika rolled her eyes, "I can't with ya'll, you lucky I wanna go to and I'm bringing my man as well."

All of you bounced in excitement, then you realized that you haven't had your phone. You began panicking, because what if your parents were trying to contact you. "Do ya'll know where my phone is?"

~~~

You didn't even know your phone and purse was right next to the bed you woke up in, you quickly grabbed your phone unlocking it. You noticed 2 missed calls from your mother and one message sent from her. You opened your message, and of course she's cursing you out on why you ain't answering your phone.

You call her hoping she'd answer, "Hello Momma?" You tried to say quietly and sweetly.

"Why the hell you ain't pick up the first few calls!?" She yelled from the other side of the line.

"I'm sorry momma, a lot had happened last night and this morning."

"And what is the a LOT that happened for you to ignore me child?"

You didn't want to tell her you got kidnapped and almost became someone's sex slave. You did not want to give her a heart attack, she already worried about you a lot anyways as you were her youngest baby out your two siblings. "I was uhh... I went out yesterday with a few friends and Rhonda... We got drunk and wasted, so like passed out and woke up with a huge migraine."

You thought that was good enough, because ya'll did go out, it was quite for a moment. "Mhmmm, you are college student little girl. I hope you don't just party only, you better be up there studying. All that damn money we paid for you to get into that good school, that little scholarship you got, barely covered shit."

"Momma relax I am, I'm fine. I'm a finish school and graduate, then you gonna be in the audience yelling wooo... that's my baby up there, myfavoritebabybecauseshetheonlyonethatactuallyfinishedschool." You said the last part quickly.

You and your mother started chuckling, "You aughta stop it, if you sisters heard you say that. I can't protect you as you brought that onto yourself."

"How is daddy doing? I know it broke his poor little heart when I had went off to college."

"Girl he'll be fine, his grown ass will suck it up. But we do miss you and hope everyone down there treating you well. They don't won't me coming down there."

You couldn't help but smile and laugh, at your mother's threat to beat someone's ass. Because you know she would, "Don't worry Momma, Rhonda already does that for me."

"That's why I like that child, tell my baby Rhonda we missed the crackhead."

"I'll let her know momma."

"On another note, find a man yet to bring me some grand-kids."

"Bye momma Love you, I'll visit you and daddy on break." Your mother sighed with a chuckle on the man and kids remark

"Love you too panda."

You hung up the phone, laying back down on the bed throwing your phone down to the side. You were still a bit tired, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 217: Bath, part 2—Cursed Lover: Introduction to the Psychology of Romantic Love 101

Cursed lovey-dovey JJK Sunday!

I know this chapter in specific has had polarizing reactions but I personally loved how unserious it is and I LOVE YOROZU! crazy bitch I love her

There are no coincidences in this world, what is there is hitsuzen 必然. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been re-visiting the Psychology of Romantic Love. So when this chapter dropped with its implications of one-sided love, I couldn’t not write about it.

So just a heads up, in the spirit of chasing after my own love-induced delusions, I went on the usual massive tangent and wrote about LOVE under the cut.

Thing is... and this is just a theory but... love is the most twisted curse of them all.

愛よ。

So anyways...

And yes... this is also a Depth Psychology lecture.

That said...

Welcome to Introduction to the Psychology of Romantic Love 101.

Drunk in love

First, I’m not going to do an in-depth exploration of the Psychology of Romantic love here because I am saving that for a different essay that I am working on. So what you’ll find is more of a brief introduction to this complex subject.

Second, DESPITE the impression you might get from reading this, I am actually a romantic who willingly and perhaps rather foolishly loves/hates to get drunk in love.

Third, music is perhaps one of the best ways to convey something as indescribable such as love. So you’ll find I drop specific lyrics and song titles for reference. Feel free to listen to, skip or ignore.

That said, I’ll also admit that since I started re-visiting the Psychology of Romantic Love, I’ve literally been looking for the right opportunity to drop these two song titles: Lovefool by The Cardigans, and Drunk in Love by Béyonce and her babydaddy, Jay-Z.

And while Lovefool is more appropriate for a one-sided obsession (I think we’ve long since left “crush” territory) such as Yorozu’s...

So I cry and I pray and I beg

Love me love me Say that you love me Fool me fool me Go on and fool me Love me love me Pretend that you love me Leave me leave me

The idea of being drunk in love also applies quite well. In the Psychology of Romantic Love, this is known as “drinking the love potion” by Depth Psychologists.

Boy, I'm drinking, get my brain right

In drinking the love potion, the lover (aka the one doing the loving) is privy to experiencing the magic realms of the heart--the beauty of love itself. This is what is described as the usual symptoms of being in love, like butterflies in your chest or stomach and having an overall dreamy temperament.

The problem with drinking the love potion often lies in the delusions that are inherent to being drunk in love. At their best, these delusions are nothing more than an overall feeling of pleasantness, sort of like seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. But at their worse, these delusions can alter how the lover perceives reality itself.

But don’t take my word for it, when it comes to describing what it’s like to observe someone who is drunk in love from drinking the love potion, Fuel said it best in their song Shimmer:

She dreams a champagne dream Strawberry surprise Pink linen on white paper Lavender and cream Fields of butterflies Reality escapes her

What I love most about Yorozu being completely out of touch with reality is that her version of “lavender and cream” and “fields of butterflies” is more akin to destroying 3 villages and writing haiku about the decapitated head of the most handsome man in each of those villages.

crazy bitch I love her

Tainted love

Also, can we stop and appreciate how comical this whole page is?

Gege, of course, uses the Sakura trees in full bloom in the panel above (cut off) as well as Sakura blossoms raining down on Yorozu and Sukuna--a trope commonly used to emphasize the ephemeral nature of beauty that can also evoke romantic undertones.

If you’ve ever had the privilege of visiting Japan during Hanami season and gotten to see Sakura blossoms falling, its undeniable how poetic and beautiful such a mundane spectacle is.

But, just as I am exploring the darker side of love in this ramble, you can be sure there is shadow side to the Sakura trees.

What if there was a more sinister reason as to why the cherry blossoms are pink?

Just the way Gege is exploring corrupted and twisted love through Yorozu, In Tokyo Babylon, CLAMP uses cherry blossoms as a corrupted symbol of love--tainted love that corrupts (cue Marilyn Manson’s version of Tainted Love).

Sometimes I feel I've got to run away I've got to get away From the pain you drive into the heart of me

Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I run from you This tainted love you've given

That's what I meant when I shared how I would have liked to see what it means for the King of Curses, Sukuna, to “love” or have a one-sided crush. Basically I headcanon Sukuna’s love language is inflicting pain.

But Sukuna isn’t necessarily running from Yorozu because he’s not digging the pain she dishes with her tainted love but more because... well... she’s so delusional she annoys him. I can see why Kenny asked Sukuna why he’d go see her.

But since Yorozu is the one dishing pain with her tainted love, I loved that her love language is basically to die in the name of the Beloved--whether she’s the one who dies or its Sukuna.

In German, liebstod is a word for a kind of love that is so unreal and so Divine, that it can only be achieved in death.

“I want you to be the one to kill me...

I want you to be the one who hurts me...

... as the ultimate expression of my love for you.”

crazy bitch I love her

To quote Jungian Analyst, Jim Hollis, “to love the Other, with all the Other’s presumed power to hurt us, requires a substantial amplitude of soul, an enlargement of one’s sense of self”.

Not me using a quote from Dr. Hollis to write about JJK because he talks about the sense of self.

After all, is there a greater form of showing one’s devotion for the Beloved than by baring our bleeding heart and offering it on a silver platter to say “I trust you”? that or maybe I’m just twisted af too. like... is that why I'm still single? bahaha

Absolute love corrupts absolutely.

The Demon Lover

There’s also something to be said about how Yorozu’s tainted love is also a reflection of her psychoemotional development as an individual--which is an interesting thing to say given her vessel is a teenager with a history of childhood neglect and abandonment.

Now, part of what is so comical about Yorozu is that everything from her reactions, her behavior, and her obsession with Sukuna are, quite literally, so infantile.

That’s because Yorozu’s love appears to be stuck in a level of ego development that objectifies the “object of her affection”, Sukuna, and sees it as something to be claimed and owned. She sees it as her duty to the Beloved to subdue him with her power.

Ironically, as Jung himself used to say, “where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”

Jungian Analyst, John Haule further tells us that “the goal of love appears to be nothing less than a loss of ego.”

He adds that the Demon Lover archetype is often constellated in romantic relationships when the lover lacks the psychoemotional maturity to see the delusions caused by the love potion as a projection of one’s shadow onto the Beloved.

Instead, we are invited to consider that this kind of love is more like an addiction.

Or in the words of Børns’ Electric Love...

Drown me (drown me), you make my heart beat like the rain Surround me (oh), hold me deep beneath your waves

Baby, you're like lightning in a bottle I can't let you go now that I got it And all I need is to be struck By your electric love

Which, thematically, is so perfect for a story like Jujutsu Kaisen where selfishly prioritizing satisfying the hedonistic and fleeting desires of the ego sense of self is what drives the strongest sorcerers.

crazy bitch I LOVE HER BECAUSE SHE’S SO RELATABLE AF!

Thank you if you’ve made it this far.

I hope you have a cursed lovey-dovey JJK-Sunday!
