While this was a home made by TheIkranRider, it had only been mentioned in her fics, Koherence, Kontentment and Final Kombat. At first, she wasn't sure how it'd look like, but she wanted it to be a small home located within the peaceful, lush mountains and open fields of China. The beautiful texture of the farmlands from Mortal Kombat 1 gave her the inspiration. It used to be shared by Kung Jin and his mom Kung Ling, while Kung Lao and Aiko stayed at the Academy dorms with Liu Kang, until the former pair decided to move in and share the remaining bedchamber, which may had belonged to Jin's father before he left.

Final Kombat[]
It was developed here first as Kung Lao woke up Aiko from a nightmare as they both shared a bed together. Not much was described there excepting when they had a quick breakfast during a Chinese newsbreak that Charred Mountain was firebombed. Jin went to middle school, then Raiden contacted on Lao's wristband for a summons to the Dragon Grotto.
It was briefly mentioned again as Lao and Aiko were in their personal quarters moments before Armageddon as he wanted Aiko to promise she won't personally get involved no matter what happens. It almost felt like hours had passed, but they mingled with each other passionately before they left, and she watched him enter to Edenian portal. Luckily, he momentarily returned alive as Aiko volunteered to fish in the Yellow River.
Kontentment[]
Aiko left Kung Lao be as he offered to pay a visit to the Temple of Light and enlist himself there for enlightenment and strength after mourning for Raiden's sacrifice onto Blaze. There was a sudden red portal emerging inside her bedchamber, then a red, narrow snout peaked out before it withdrew thru it. She realized it was Caro and decided to follow thru the rip which led them to Yin Yang Island, where he recapped everything involving Liu's ascension to godhood before the arrival of his and Kitana's son, Cheung!
Koherence[]
More is shown as Kung Lao was preparing to leave for the Matokan's sacred land while Aiko was discussing with Kung Jin on separation anxiety, as a review seeing Ernie be apart from Bert, and describing where weakness thus why she never went. With the little staircase or two, Aiko descended to the living room before she was met up by Raiden assuring her that they'd return. Then Kenshi arrived and offered her to be trained in coherence. Jin went to school while his mom prepared Aiko some hearty meals for her personal tutelage. She did for a few days, and Aiko even pined for Lao's return inside their shared bedchamber. That was also where she hid her gem away in a drawer as she heard murmurs from the Matokan warmups for their hot dance coming up. A night later, she succumed to the drums emanating from the gem and it projected her undead self completely clad in tribal attire, even Liu Kang as Emperor with her in the Netherrealm!
Nevertheless, after the successful band number, Aiko still wished Lao was there, then Raiden praised her for a job well done.
There was a flash forward weeks after Armageddon when Aiko was with Lao and Jin wondering how and why she's the only one having tribal drums as a weakness... That was until Fire God Liu Kang paid her a visit and offered to show her via the Hourglass!
Side Mortal Kombat Stories[]
It was stated during the Christmas special that Aiko finally visited the Kung Kottage for the first time in 1994 as she brought gifts to Lao, Jin, Ling, and Lao's white rabbit. By 1995, after Onaga's war, it was soon made official to be Lao's and Aiko's residence after moving out of the Academy. Aiko had gotten a bit better at finding Christmas gifts, especially for Ling.
