A/N: I was playing my new Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends game where Zhu Ran actually becomes a playable character, and I just loved his and Lu Xun's relationship right away. Lu Xun is my favorite character of the entire game, so it only makes sense I guess haha And me, being the fanboy that I am, shipped them instantly. So, then this story came along (; It is going to be a chapter story and I'll try to update as much as possible. Hope there are other Lu Xun x Zhu Ran fans out there to read this :D

POV: Lu Xun

Pairing: Lu Xun x Zhu Ran

"Master Lu Xun! Please, we must leave this base quickly!" one of the Wu soldiers yelled to me. Glancing around, I let out a soft noise of frustration as I proceeded to abandon the base which I was intrusted to protect. Enemy soldiers had been lying in wait for it, dropping burning sticks which quickly set the small base ablaze. I was suppose to be thinking of a strategy at this point there, where the enemy wouldn't think anyone would be. Apparently they knew the whole time we would go there. The officer waited for me to catch up before continuing his retreat. Zhu Ran was the other officer I had with me and he was currently fighting off the enemies that burned down the camp.

"We need to keep on going! Get caught up with Master Ling Tong and Gan Ning!" I yelled to the other man while he was fighting, keeping my swords in hand, yet not using them. Fighting wasn't exactly my best skill. Officers instead surrounded me, striking anyone down who tried to get close. Zhu Ran looked over after shooting an arrow at another Wei soldier.

"You can't rely on them forever Lu Xun! We need to just keep on going, clear a path this way instead. We can do it!" he yelled back, continuing to press forward.

"Zhu Ran, I am telling you, it's too dangerous!" I yelled back, beginning to chase after my fellow officer, yet I was quickly stopped by 3 Wei soldiers. They attempted to strike me, but I held up my weapon in time. However, as for killing them...Shaking my head, I simply pushed them with the help of my weapons and quickly ran past, keeping an eye on Zhu Ran as he fought.

"Zhu Ran, please listen to me! I know you don't like to, but-."

"For the last time, you are not the boss of me. I can take care of myself!" he yelled, continuing across a narrow mountain cliff. A shadow from above caught my attention and I looked up just in time to see someone in Wei clothing. Eyes widening, I ran after Zhu Ran, getting to him just as the man jumped down towards him, weapons drawn.

"Look out!" I heard myself yell, though I can't remember actually wanting to say that. I jumped towards my friend, pushing him out of the way. There was a horrible pain in my back and then we were falling down the cliff, my arms at first around Zhu Ran, but then they weren't. I closed my eye on the way down, sure that this must be how I die. Then a sharp pain in my head made me see stars and the coldness of water followed. I was barely able to register that I was in the water before I blacked out.
