Chapter 1 The Daily Routine With a Twist

I was sitting quietly during a stupid ceremony blocking out my father's speaking...I was anxious to get out and meet Xing Xing in my room. I looked across the room and saw my idiot brother making stupid faces at some statue.

My name is Hikura. At a young age, I traveled the lands of Han China. My whole village was burned to the ground by bandits. I was the only survivor. I last traveled to a village under the Shu Kingdom. Well, I almost did, but I had fainted a few yards away from the entrance.

I was lucky that Xing Xing, Ten Kou, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Jiang Wei were inspecting the village. Jiang Wei had spotted me and told the others. I was brought back to the Shu castle and was given care until I fully healed.

Then, Liu Bei, the Shu emperor, adopted me. I trained with Xing Xing and Ten Kou most of the time I was here and got to know all of the Shu officers.

Jiang Wei and I are about the same age. Everyone was older than us other than Guan Ping and Xing Cai.

Everyday since I came to Shu, Jiang Wei would always visit me. I would always want to leave and play with him, but I had to go to ceremonies. That's why Xing Xing and Jiang Wei would always help me sneak out.

A few minutes later, the ceremony was over and I dashed out as soon as possible. When I opened the door, I accidentally crashed into Ma Chao and my friend Ten Kou.

"Ouch." I said, rubbing my head. I got up and reached to help Ten Kou up, but Ma Chao beat me to her.

"I'm so sorry, I was in a little hurry." I said to both of them.

"That's ok." Tan Kou said, brushing dust from here clothes. Ten Kou was such a nice friend. She doesn't really get too mad all the time, but she was really forgiving.

I bowed and left the two. I opened my bedroom door and saw Xing Xing and Jiang Wei waiting in my room.

"Sorry I'm late, I had to go to a stupid ceremony." I said.

"We know, Zhao Yun told us. He's the new guard leader." Xing Xing said.

"What? Zhao Yun is the new guard leader? Oh, this is bad," I said. "what if he gets suspicious?! Then we can't sneak out anymore!" I was pacing around my room. I didn't want to stay in the castle all the time.

Just then, Ten Kou came in.

"So you sneak out without Lord Liu Bei's permission?" Ten Kou said with a smile on her face.

We were so busted!!!

"Please Ten Kou, don't tell Lord Liu Bei, I'm begging you!" I said.

"Don't worry, I won't tell. Besides I wouldn't want to be stuck sitting during boring ceremonies either." Ten Kou said. I knew she was trying to make some joke out of that. Still, I was relieved that she wasn't going to tell anyone.

"Well, now that that's over, let's get going, before Hikura has to go to another ceremony." Jiang Wei said.

"Sure, let's go. Ten Kou, would you like to come with us?" I asked her.

"Ok," she replied. "Ma Chao, you distract Zhao Yun while we sneak out. After we leave successfully, follow." Ten Kou ordered Ma Chao. Ma Chao left just then. We followed him a few feet away.

Ma Chao started talking to Zhao Yun at the palace gates. We got out without Zhao Yun noticing. Ma Chao followed like ordered, leaving Zhao Yun clueless.

We arrived at a large field that spread across the land for miles probably. There was a stream close by. Tons of fish swam in there. I fished here the last time I snuck out with Xing Xing and Jiang Wei.

Just then, Ma Chao had whistle very loudly.

"Why'd you do that?" I asked him.

Xing Xing answered before Ma Chao could. "I think I know why." she said and pointed in a direction where a cloud of dirt was becoming larger.

Just then, standing right next to Ma Chao was a white stallion.

"You love that thing, don't you Ma Chao?" Jiang Wei teased.

Ma Chao just ignored Jiang Wei's comment and got on his stallion. He started to show off on his stallion. I was starting to laugh as I watched Ma Chao riding around.

The five of us played and joked around until dinner was nearing. I had a great time out in the fields that day.

When we came close to the palace, only soldiers were on guard now.

"There are too much of them, let's get in by my bedroom window." I whispered.

We got in my bedroom and heard someone coming up the hall. I took out a deck of cards and we started playing. Then Yue Ying opened the door.

"What are you doing? It's time to eat, come on, Lord Liu Bei is waiting." she said and we followed her to the dining hall. Everyone had just come and taken their seats. Everyone ate dinner in silence.

Just then, Lord Liu Bei made an announcement. "I will need to speak with Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan, Yue Ying, Jiang Wei, Hikura, Xing Xing, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Ten Kou after dinner in the strategy room."

He sounded serious to me. After a few minutes, everyone was done with dinner and the eight that were summoned met at the strategy room.

"We should plan to attack Wei soon, they are taking much of the land already. We have to stop them." Liu Bei said.

"We should form an alliance with Wu. That way, we'll take down Wei for sure." Zhuge Liang demanded.

The discussion went on for hours. At the end, Zhuge Liang had his way. We were going to have a meeting with Wu at some time. When the discussion was over, I was tired and headed to my room to sleep.

That night, I was so exhausted that I fell asleep the moment I laid my head on my pillow.
