Disclaimer! I don't own Dynasty Warriors, Koei does. I do own Jia and all that jazz, so if you honestly like her that much, just ask for permission to use her, and you'll get it. Although I don't really know why you'd want to use her... D:

"Oh, yes!" a female voice could be heard throughout the hallways of the Wei palace. "My lord! You're so good!"

A few of the patrol guards snickered as the heated cries of passion erupted from their lord's chamber. Events like this happened almost every night, but it was still entertaining to listen to what the new harlots would say.

However, their crude humor was short lived, as footsteps could be heard. It was the middle of the night and the guards were alert. They took defensive positions and put on their roughest facades. The 'trespasser's' face came from the shadows and the guards stood regularly once again before smiling and greeting the visitor.

"Hello, milady," the head guard greeted. "What are you doing up at this hour?"

"Lord Cao requested me at this time, however it seems as if he has forgotten," the beautiful woman turned back around nonchalantly. At the last possible moment she spoke up again. "Tell him I came by, will you?"

The lady knew the guard wouldn't let her down, chuckled to her, and continued on her way.

The morning after, in the harem, the beautiful woman sat in the room that she had all to herself. Because she was one of the Lord's favorites, she was treated like a princess; she even had her own handmaids. She sat in front of her vanity putting a single blue flower in her hair to complete her ensemble. She wore a lively blue dress with an elegant gold robe draped around her shoulders. The dress pooled around her feet and swished this way and that as she walked. She was adorned with smoky makeup; her plump lips enhanced by red lipstick. Her eyebrows has been plucked and groomed into perfect arches. Her teeth were white and straight, giving her a breathtaking smile. Of course she was a favorite of Lord Cao; she had to be one of the most beautiful women in the country.

She looked at her reflection blankly, as if she was unfamiliar with the woman that was looking back to her. A single knock at her bedchamber door drew her from her thoughts.

"Come in," she called before getting to her feet.

"My lady," one of her serving girls knelt at her feet. "Lord Cao requests your presence in his chamber on this morning."

"Very well," the woman nodded and left her room, dress swishing with every step.

She was escorted by a eunuch through the halls that she knew all too well. The presence of the eunuch told her that this meeting would be all business, no pleasure.

She stood outside her lord's chamber door and the eunuch announced her presence. In a second, the grand door to her Lord's chamber slid open, and she stepped inside.

He stood there, stroking his goatee in nothing but a robe and casual pants. The girl from the previous night had left already, but the evidence of their mingling had not. The sheets were rumpled, and the stench of sweat and sex still lingered in the air.

"Leave us," her Lord declared without turning to look directly at the woman.

Moments after the antechamber was vacant, besides the woman and her Lord, the latter began to speak.

"You are as beautiful as ever," Cao Cao sighed as he looked at the woman.

"My Lord, you flatter me," the woman tried not to let her annoyance leak into her voice, and she had succeeded.

Cao Cao then proceeded to pace back and forth. "My cousin, Xiahou Dun, he is a very stubborn and very proud man."

"My Lord?" the woman questioned.

"He does not accept anything I offer him," he continued. "Land, horses, titles, houses… he rejects it all! Women, money, fame; he does not want any of it!"

"If you don't mind my inquiry, my Lord," the woman asked as she took a step toward Cao Cao. "But how does this pertain to His Majesty's consort?"

"He is an honest man," Lord Cao informed her. "Yet so humble. He does not seek any reward for all of the times he has been this country's savior and hero. However, I am prepared to offer something too precious to deny."

"This consort is confused by His Highness's behavior," she pleaded as she grabbed onto his robe. She was worried. Was he losing his mental faculty?

"Hou Jia," he spoke her full name. "I am asking-- no, I am begging for your help. Dun has only known war for his entire life. He knows not of the great pleasures of the world. He seldom takes a woman to his bed, and when he does, they are tainted. They are not like you, Xiaojia."

Jia was very worried at this point. Very rarely did he call her by her name, using her nickname almost all of the time. And he had never, not even once, used her pet name in serious conversation.

"My Lord, please, spare your humble consort and tell her what it is that His Majesty is saying!" She gripped his robe tighter.

"Xiaojia," he tried to smile, but the expression wouldn't play on his distressed face. "I want you to seduce him, be his very first love; teach him love and passion as you have taught me."

"Cao Mengde!" Jia was appalled. No more polite girl act, she was angry. "Are you dismissing me?"

"Xiaojia, I--" Cao Cao paused to find the right words. "Its not how it sounds."

"Then tell me, O great lord of Wei, tell me what the hell do you mean?"

"Its complicated. I care for you, I truly do, but Dun he needs to know happiness. He's never been in love, not like I have."

"You don't love me," Jia spat out viciously. "I'm just like every other girl, aren't I, Mengde? Just toss me aside when you have no use for me anymore."

Cao Cao looked the beautiful woman in front of him. He reached out a hand to brush a strand of hair away from her cheek, but she swatted away his hand. Her anger was raw, and it was so real, it made Cao Cao regret his decision.

"Jia, I am sorry. You can choose not to believe me, but I am sorry. You are the single most beautiful woman that I have ever had. You bring so much life and joy to this kingdom, Xiaojia, you bring so much happiness to me," Cao Cao's smile faltered. "But, I need you to do this for me. I need you to share your light with him, as you have shared it with me."

Jia's scowl softened, but was still visible. She looked at him, one final time before releasing a great huff of air.

"Alright, you win. Just send me to him whenever," she stomped over to the door, preparing to leave. "You know, Cao Cao, I nearly loved you, even though you're such an inconsiderate bastard. I fucking loved you."

Tell me, should I continue? I have like, nine more chapters written out, but I don't want to waste my time posting them if you don't like this story in the first place.
Oh and by the way, I'm in a big slump with my My Cure story, so I'll try to get out of that, as soon as possible.
