Disclaimer: Koei owns all characters, except Lu Kyoko which is mine.

While Ling Tong and Lu Kyoko is one of my favourite pairings ever (Changing Heart), I think Lu Kyoko and Sun Quan are actually probably my favourite, I thought about her and Sun Quan after reading a fanfic... it showed Sun Quan in a different light, more cool and then DW6 came along and I was like 'Oh my God! He's awesome!' the fanfic in question is in my favourites. Pairings: Sun Quan x OC (Lu Kyoko), Sun Ce x Da Qiao, Zhou Yu x Xiao Qiao and Sun Shang Xiang x Liu Bei

Costumes, Hairstyles and Weapons: All DW6 with DW6 weapons

Oh and Lu Kyoko wears a black and red light armour, if you have Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires then (bear in mind I have unlocked virtually nothing) she is wearing the Shaman Top, Valkyrie Gauntlets, Owl Skirt and the Valkyrie Boots, all the colours are in red. Her hair is mid back length and tied in a high ponytail, as opposed to shoulder length in Changing Heart, still light brown, and she Yue Yings DW6 Empires weapon, but imagine the little bow as red not green, she is a sorceress and is known as "Protector of the Sun Family" and she is still Lu Meng's younger sister.

Okay, prologue first, which will just explain the current situations and then I'll go into the story, anything in italic is a flashback or a dream

Three dots means some time has passed, and a star means that it's the same time but at a different place

Prologue:

Some young children are all playing in a stretch of cherry blossom trees, they are a range of ages, and there are two girls and four boys, one of the boys is sitting down, leaning against a tree. The two girls are the youngest. One of them falls over, "Na, Na Shang fell over!" One boy shouted, teasing her.

"Shut up Ce!" Sun Shang Xiang answered; the other girl pulled her up "Not like you've never fallen over before!" The other girl added

"Looks like we got our work cut out for us with two girls eh Yu?" Sun Ce said to the boy next to him, who nodded back at him, a big smile on his face.

"You still didn't answer Kyoko" Shang Xiang said, putting her hands on her hips

"Right... So?" The boy on Sun Ce's other side said, Lu Kyoko opened her mouth, in mock shock "That's mean Quan" She said and pouted, he felt guilty and scratched his head, but then Lu Kyoko smiled cheekily and he laughed "That was mean!" Sun Quan protested.

They all laughed and carried on playing, Sun Ce shouted over to the boy who was sitting down and was considerably older than all of them "C'mon Meng! Come and play! You never play with us anymore!"

The boy just looked over to Sun Ce and then back, looking at the group in general, they all knew he was there to make sure that his sister didn't get hurt, eventually, and with Sun Ce's constant pestering he stood up and joined in, they were playing a game they called 'Tiger's Den' Sun Ce had showed them how to play, claiming that his father had taught him how, which was Sun Quan could prove was actually true, not one of Sun Ce's bluffs.

Everyone hid while Sun Quan counted; he wasn't the fastest runner in the group and had lost the race across the field meaning he was 'on', but had only just been behind Lu Meng. When he had counted to fifty he looked around, but he knew where Lu Kyoko liked to hide since they always hid together. He had always had to call her his good friend since Shang Xiang had claimed her as her best friend first. He found her not far from the square and she started running, but slowly for her and he caught her rather easily, his arms around her and they were both laughing.

A lightning bolt struck the ground, waking Sun Quan up with a jump and he groaned, why had he dreamt about that? That had been years ago, but under all the stress on the kingdom, with the wars and bad harvests he was told it was only natural to dream about good times... But still... Sun Quan had never expected to go quite back that far in time. He sat up but seeing it was still night he didn't bother dressing, instead he walked over to his window, rubbing his eyes.

Sun Quan was now 18 years old, his elder brother Sun Ce was 22, Sun Ce's sworn brother and best friend Zhou Yu was 21, Lu Meng was 26, Lu Kyoko was 16 and Sun Shang Xiang was 15 but nearing her 16th birthday soon.

He removed the blind which kept the rain out and all he could see was darkness, how long had the rain been pouring? Weeks or months? But to many in the castle it felt like years since they had seen the sun, but that wasn't entirely what had been annoying Sun Quan lately, no it was his brother, why had he been missing so many meetings lately? He had heard many rumours, one of which he hoped had been started by Shang Xiang and Lu Kyoko, but he hadn't been happy with his brothers badly timed 'disappearances' which had left him in charge with the meetings, fortunately he often had Zhou Yu to help, and when he was gone he could always rely on Lu Meng and Lu Kyoko or even the very young prodigy Lu Xun for help. Sun Quan realised that Sun Ce had been acting rather strange lately... Then again so had Lu Kyoko, but she had a reason, he knew she was currently adapting to magical changes and how to use it in scouting and for a fight effectively, he had to admit it did kind of freak him out at first that she was a sorceress, even though he was sure it freaked her out more that she had unnaturally strong magical abilities, even for a mage she was unusually strong.

He closed the blind again, making sure he did it quietly, he went back to his bed and entered the covers again pulling them around him but the lightning which struck every so often kept him awake, 'Damn being a light sleeper' He thought, if it wasn't so early he'd have seen if anyone else was awake. He heard the door in the room next to his open and close, it was barely audible with the rain and lightning, 'Sun Ce's been going out a lot at night lately... Wonder if he'd tell me why' It had been a long time since the brothers had talked emotionally, Sun Jian's death had taken a heavy toll on his eldest son but it felt more like Sun Quan was running the kingdom than his brother, Zhou Tai had even joked to him once that he should take Sun Ce's place due to his brothers frequent meeting and court absences.

Soon the rain died down to barely more than a drizzle and he could hear the guards mumbling to each other as the patrols swapped shifts, maybe it wasn't as early as he had first thought. Sun Quan felt happier when the sun broke through the clouds, partially shining through his blind, maybe the weather wasn't going to be as depressing today as he thought.

Sun Quan climbed out of bed and got dressed, putting his hair up in its usual high ponytail, with the changing of the guards shifts it usually meant that the generals would be waking up soon. He picked up his sword, strapped it to his belt and left his room and went outside, he was glad he could go outside now the rain had stopped and saw Shang Xiang and Lu Kyoko were already up, dressed in light armour and training on the practice courtyard, he smiled at his sister's enthusiasm to learn how to fight, he stopped and watched them for a bit, Shang Xiang was as hot headed as Sun Ce but Lu Kyoko was patient like her brother. Shang Xiang was ready to jump into a duel but Lu Kyoko kept insisting politely that she needed more practice, lucky they were such good friends that she didn't take it as an insult to her almost natural skills.

Lu Kyoko was teaching Shang Xiang how utilise her full fighting potential with the bow, by showing her fighting techniques on Shang Xiangs bow for her to copy when Lu Kyoko handed it back to her, however, occasionally Shang Xiang came up with her own ideas, but Lu Kyoko kept proving that they wouldn't work for her in a real duel. But usually Lu Kyoko twisted the idea so that it would suit Shang Xiangs younger, lighter and weaker frame, Sun Quan was amazed how patient his little sister's teacher was being, he made his way over there, Lu Kyoko saw him first and waved to him, while Shang Xiang had just finished a move on her bow, Lu Kyoko's weapon was on the ground beside them.

Sun Quan heading to the training area wasn't an everyday occurrence, it wasn't that often Sun Quan trained since his father's death, he didn't really have a strong desire to fight anymore, which Lu Kyoko felt she understood but she was still quite surprised to see him here, Shang Xiang greeted her brother with a hug, normally Sun Quan would have greeted Lu Kyoko the same way but not when someone was around, she had found it strange at first but had gotten use to it over the years, she had always assumed that Sun Ce had made a joke or something which had made him uncomfortable.

"Hey Quan, look what Kyoko's just taught me!" Shang Xiang said excitedly, putting a little emphasis on the 'just' and started showing off what she had been learning over the last few days.

1: Birthday Boy

...

2 years later

The time was approaching for Sun Quan's 20th birthday and Sun Ce had decided to host a small banquet for his brother, it was actually that night, but Sun Quan knew how embarrassed he'd become and decided to skip it, as disappointed as his brother would be, he couldn't handle something like that. He was just about leave through the window in his study room and climb down the tree just outside it, he and Lu Kyoko had done that to escape from her mother about three years ago. The banquet was barely half an hour away when someone knocked on his door; he closed his window as quietly as he could, cursing his own bad luck that he couldn't escape, or didn't just leave and ignore the door, but he didn't, damning his kindness and opened it, his jaw almost dropped open when he saw Lu Kyoko standing there, he took back the curse he'd just made about his kindness.

"What have you done with my friend?" He asked as he saw what she was wearing, a red dress with gold embroidery on it, it was low cut, sleeveless, and was tight against her skin, it went down to her ankles and the design left most of her back exposed, it showed skin, but not too much, it was still classy, he saw she had a gold fan tied to her belt, not the normal way but she was almost as bad as Shang Xiang when it came to dresses. The dress showed off her slim figure and even her unusually pale skin, she had little makeup on but it was mostly around her eyes, red eye makeup, contrasting her bright green eyes, overall it was a dazzling effect... well to Sun Quan it was fairly dazzling anyway. It wasn't every day that Lu Kyoko looked like this.

"Shut up Quan! Mom made me dress up like this" She said, Sun Quan moved aside and let her come in, she did and sat down on a chair, she looked him over, her eyes curious "Why aren't you dressed yet?"

"Um..." Sun Quan was quite good at making up excuses, but Lu Kyoko always when he was lying, he always assumed it was due to her sorcery, she had once said that she could read him better than she could anyone else.

"You were going to avoid this banquet weren't you?" But it sounded more like a statement that a question to him. Sun Quan averted his eyes, he couldn't look her in the eye, she knew that was a 'Yes but I don't want to admit it' face "No, you can't do that to Ce!" She stood up and put her hands on her hips, "Or to me actually. Come on, if I'm going to embarrass myself by going like this then you can let Ce embarrass you! Your birthday isn't every night Sun Quan, Ce's spent weeks planning this thing, the least you can do for your elder brother is attend it"

Sun Quan hated it when she ranted like that, it never failed to make him feel incredibly guilty but he still didn't want to go, and protested to prove his point. She sighed and pouted at him, Sun Quan hated it when she did that as well, they were really good friends but she could manipulate him, so easily, to do anything for her, anything she wanted with that pout "You are too good at that pout" Sun Quan gave in.

She smiled and clapped her hands "I know..." Then she tilted her head slightly "Mom does it too whenever she wants something, it's like a gift for the women in the Lu family"

"Don't you mean a curse for any man whom the Lu women want something from" Sun Quan said and smiled, she hit him lightly on his arm.

"Go and get dressed birthday boy" She sat back down on the chair "And I'm making sure you're not going down that tree"

He laughed slightly; he went back into his room and wished a tree was outside that window 'No, then she'd have to watch me dress to make sure I didn't run away... I can't believe she's dressed like that' While Sun Quan dressed he was wondering how Lady Lu had managed to get her daughter to wear a dress, not that he was complaining at all, and doubted anyone would, she looked very beautiful in it.

Then his mind wandered... he was partially amazed how the lords of Wu weren't trying to buy her courtship now that she was 18, he started thinking about who would try to get her attention, Sun Quan felt something strange in his chest it wasn't the first time he'd felt it, it was becoming more regular now so he just pushed it down but that feeling always seemed to revolve around his friend, even though he couldn't figure out what it was, or that was what he liked to make himself think, even though the horrifying thought came to him that maybe he knew what 'it' was and he was just being stubborn and refusing to admit it.

Lu Kyoko waited for him, she looked out of his window and saw that the weather looked like it was entering the rainy season again, she sighed, as much as she liked the rainy season to renew the plants and flowers of Wu, it did mean very often she was stuck inside the castle with her mother who was continually trying to make her a lady, to no avail. Lady Lu didn't really like anybody who she deemed 'rude' and Shang Xiang was simply one of them and she never approved of her 'precious jewel' her only daughter, training to be a warrior and going off to fight in wars, and the sorcery had made her even worse, even though Lu Meng was continually trying to convince their mother that his sister was stronger than him, again to no avail, Lu Meng had once said to Sun Quan, though Lu Kyoko had overheard about the 'persistent stubbornness of Lu women, that his mother was a shining example and his sister was obviously her mother's daughter'. 'It'll be different this season' Lu Kyoko silently promised herself 'I've got to keep Ce and his family safe, which means more time outside... even if it is mostly watching over the castle at night, but I've got my "Protector of the Sun Family" reputation to uphold... I'm not going to slack off' And Lu Kyoko smiled at the possible future for her. She raised one of her hands and concentrated on it, though only with faint interest, and a fairly large glowing ball was emitted from it, she heard Sun Quan's maids murmur excitedly and in awe to each other. She remembered the first time she did this, her and Sun Quan had been outside, balanced on the tree outside his room, he'd held her hands from underneath, for comfort while she'd cast her first spell, how proud she'd felt, it had taken her ages and now she could do it in about a second, she didn't even need to incant the spell out loud, she could do it in her head, just proof of how far she'd come along in the last few months.

She heard Sun Quan approaching from his room and clenched her fist, making the glowing ball disappear, then he came out, Lu Kyoko stood up, he was dressed in a rather smart set of armour, "Very appropriate my lord" His maid, Fei Yana, said.

"Indeed" Lu Kyoko added, she stood up and Sun Quan held the door open for her, and they made their way down to the banqueting hall.
