Author's Note: Wow. FF.Net doesn't have much Dynasty Warriors fanfics. I guess I'll make my own! This fanfic is based on the tale of Lu Bu/Diao Chan/Dong Zhuo. And it's based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! I made up a little bit of stuff because I couldn't remember how Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo. Sorry... Anyways, Lu Bu and Diao Chan all the way! Down with Dong Zhuo. He's fat and he sucks. Hope you like my fanfic and send me some reviews. :-)
Dreams Come True
Chapter One: Broken Porcelain doll
The many nights she surrendered to him against her own will. Her innocence, once so pure, was lost. Yet she stayed to see his defeat. She wanted to see him cry in anguish and agony dying a merciless death. The many nights she dreamed that he was dead. But soon her dreams will come true… So long as Lu Bu was by her side. The beautiful knight in shining armor. The man of her very dreams. But how could he love something that was not pure? She wasn't worthy, although she knew he shared his love for her as well.
Sighing a sigh of defeat she nestled her head onto her silk pillow. She convinced the horrible fiend, Dong Zhuo, to let her have her own bedroom chambers. He grew bored of her anyways. She was silent, gloomy, and not full of life. She wasn't the person she used to be… Her childhood was ripped away from her. He was too busy with his other concubines to care. Too busy thinking of how to conquer the Qiao sisters. China's most beautiful songbirds. She had seen them once and they looked like mere children. Their beauty could not compare of the kingdom of Wei's, Zhen Ji, or the tribe of Nanman's, Zhu Rong. The only reason why Dong Zhuo still claims her was because he knew his adopted son, Lu Bu, loved her. The pig wanted his son to suffer.
Diao Chan fisted her hands and felt her long nails dig deep into the trenches of her skin. How she wanted to kill Dong Zhuo herself. A man so arrogant and selfish did not deserve to live. But soon, very soon, Lu Bu will kill him. And her fairytale romance can finally come true. "If I pray hard enough maybe my wish will come true," whispered Diao Chan to herself. She was forced to be with Dong Zhuo by her father. Her adoptive father, to say the least. She was summoned to bring down the end of Dong Zhuo and she had no other option but to play her role as a pawn in a game of chess.
Luckily Dong Zhuo has neglected her for the past year. A whole year. How many years has she been confined to this palace of horror? She didn't know but everyday she had to struggle the will to live. 'If I kill myself would Lu Bu still kill Dong Zhuo?' 'Must I wait until Dong Zhuo's death to have my own?' 'Would Lu Bu still love me even after I die…?' Those were the constant thoughts that forever plagued her mind. "Must sleep…" Drifting off to a deep slumber her thoughts still have yet to reside.
A knock was heard from the door. "Lady Diao Chan?" a servant girl called from the other side.
"What do you want?" yawned the once-sleeping beauty as she sat up on her bed and rubbed her eyes.
"Master Lu Bu wishes to see you in the Phoenix garden, Lady Diao Chan." Her heart skipped a beat and colour formed onto her pale cheeks. Springing to her feet she opened the paper-screened door and looked at the young servant girl in the eyes.
"Did he say what he wished to talk about?" She bit her bottom lip as she watched the young girl shake her head. "Very well. I will dress immediately and meet him at the Phoenix garden at once." She closed the door behind her and listened to the girl's footsteps walk away. "Why does he want to talk to me…?" she whispered to herself as she fell to the floor in disbelief. Snapping back into the harsh reality she gathered on her clothing and placed her hair into a bun, placing on her beautiful headdress. Looking at herself in the mirror she headed towards the Phoenix Garden to await Lu Bu's arrival.
Lu Bu stared into the Sakura tree standing beside him. The pale-pink cherry-blossoms reminded him of Diao Chan's beauty. "O, the beauty of the gods…" murmured Lu Bu as he caught a single cherry blossom petal on the palm his hand. Slowly opening his palm he watched the petal fly away landing with the rest on the dirt patched floor. He noticed a presence approaching and swiftly turned around. There he saw the lovely maiden that captured his heart and soul. She looked like a Siren in Greek mythology with her beautiful maiden face looking at the ground, cheeks flushed and long eyelashes covering her remarkable eyes. "So you've decided to join. Come now and stand beside me, Lady Diao Chan." She slowly moved her feet until she stood beside him. His muscular long fingers pulled up her soft pale chin making her look right into his dark brown eyes. Her eyes went wide as her cheeks turned crimson.
"What is it that you want, my lord?" stuttered Diao Chan as she watched his longing stare. His hand left her chin and cupped her soft cheek. She took a quick breath and gulped, trying to compose herself in front of Lu Bu.
"I've… Noticed that my father has forgotten about you. He and his other concubines. That man makes me sick… Why, he hasn't spoken to you for a year."
"So you've noticed." Sighed Diao Chan as she smiled at the handsome warrior. "I'm glad that he found enjoyment out of other women. Gives me more time to myself to think about other things on my mind."
"So the innocent beauty is cunning as a fox. I never thought," smirked Lu Bu as he released his hold on Diao Chan's cheek. "Just like a Siren luring a man to his death."
"So you like Greek mythology as well?" inquired Diao Chan, raising an eyebrow at Lu Bu.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. I just can't help to think how you lured me into, you. How you have me wrapped around your fingers like a lovesick common dweller." His cold malicious voice tone made her tremble. Did he really think she had him wrapped around her fingers? Holding back her tears she failed to suppress her sob.
"Is that how you really think? That's funny because I see it the other way around. You're the one that has me wrapped around your fingers!" Tears sprang from her eyes as she took a step back from Lu Bu and looked at him defiantly. "You don't know how much pain I've been going through! Being used by Dong Zhuo against my own will! He took my innocence and what do I get in return? Please enlighten me on what do I get, Lu Bu!" She waited for him to answer but he kept silent. "I-I never really wanted to become one of his concubines… But it was my duty. O, my duty caused me all this pain I have to suffer for the rest of my life! But, let it be known, I'm happy he moved on to find other concubines he can use up and throw away. I was thrown away and my duty isn't even done. Not even close." She smiled a weak bittersweet smile and looked back down onto the floor watching her teardrops land onto cherry petals on the dirt floor.
"What was your duty you were sworn to commit to?" asked Lu Bu, his voice still edged with venom.
"… To rid of Dong Zhuo. For you, almighty Lu Bu, to kill your father." Lu Bu's eyes went wide in shock as he stared at Diao Chan. "But I didn't expect to have fallen for his son. Such a pity he thinks I'm an ill-Siren luring him into a web of lies and deceit…" Without hesitation Lu Bu embraced her burying his face into the top of her brown hair. She was startled and smiled joyously to Lu Bu returning his warm embrace. "Promise me to never let go. I knew if I prayed long and hard enough I'd have my wish come true." Lu Bu kissed the top of her head and held her tight.
"Master Dong Zhuo, where are you going off to early this morning?" asked another servant girl as she watched the short plump man brandish his sword tied onto his waist.
"I'm heading off to the Phoenix garden. Those new concubines were lovely last night, and all, but I need some fresh air." Bellowed Dong Zhuo and his patted his enormous stomach.
"As you wish, master." Said the servant girl and rushed off to do other housework.
… To be continued.
