Disclaimer: I still don't own anything except for the story line. Warning: The characters are major OOC.

I also know that Cao Cao is older than Xiahou Dun but I always saw him as the middle man between him, Dun, and Yuan. So Cao is older than Yuan. Dun is older than Cao. Jian is older than all of them and Pi is older than Ba. Sorry if I say otherwise in my stories. I forget sometimes.

"I'll be over later." Jian said, a smile crossing his features.

"Alright, see you than." Cao waved goodbye and took Pi's hand in his own as they left the building and walked to Cao's car. Pi, who was upset with the fact that his father had been mad at him, immedeatly smiled and raced towards the car upon seeing who was waiting for he and his father.

"Uncle Dun-Dun!" Pi said with a bright smile on his face. His smile became even brighter when he saw his cousin, "Cousin Ba!" Pi laughed as he and Xiahou Ba embraced.

"Cao Pi! Today when my dad came to pick me, I found this little bug and I took it and wrapped in a candy wrapper but dad thought it was an actual candy! So he took it and he didn't see it was a bug and he ate it! When I told him he-!"

"Said not to tell anyone." Xiahou Yuan said as a dark blush appeared on his cheeks.

"It was your own fault for not watching what you put in your mouth." Xiahou Dun said from the drivers seat. Cao got into the passengers seat, "Argaahhhh." He more groweled than groaned.

"What's wrong?" Dun asked.

"Nothing, just take us home." Cao said and Dun nodded, "Yes cousin."

When they were home Cao went to his bedroom, Dun trailing not far behind him while Yuan took the kids out to play. "Come on, Ba! I saw this cool ant hill in my backyard! We can go see if they want to play!" Pi said with a grin.

Yuan stopped in his tracks, "You know, you two are probably hungry. I'll make you something to eat." He said as he made his way back inside.

"Aww." Ba frowned.

"It's okay! We can take Uncle Yuan some buggies too!" Pi said and Ba smiled.

Cao laid on his stomach on his bed as he stared at the chest bored in front of him. "You know, Dun-Dun, you shouldn't reach for a piece than pull away, than move the same piece. By than I've already seen all your possible moves and have a plan to counter them." Cao said.

"Sorry." Was Dun's blunt reply. Cao's eyes narrowed. Xiahou Dun was obviously upset about something...it didn't take long for Cao to figure out what.

"If it happens, it happens." Cao said.

"I can't just sit by knowing what can become of you." Dun said as he looked at Cao.

"I know, but you have to."

"Why?"

"Because you do."

"Why won't you let me help you?!" Came the sudden, angry growl from Xiahou Dun. Cao flinched without meaning to and pushed himself onto his rear and pulled away from Dun. All through out his childhood, getting yelled at like such never ended without Cao bleeding half to death.

Dun saw the shock and fear in his younger cousin's eyes than quickly moved to comfort him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice. Please, forgive me, cousin." He wrapped his arms around Cao and slowly rocked him back and forth.

It took awhile to process Dun's words but he nodded when he understood, "It's okay. I forgive you." Cao said.

"Thank you."

"Dun!" Came Yuan's cry from downstairs.

"Now, now...kids...put the bugs down." Yuan said as he tried to keep himself far from the two.

"But daaaaddddd! They just want to meet you!" Ba scowled.

"Yeah! Come on Uncle Yuan!" Pi said.

"Brother Dun! Mengde?!" Yuan called for his two older kinsmen once more.

"What is it, Yuan?" Cao called as he stared at Yuan from the bottom of the staircase. An amused grin was on his face. Seeing his younger cousin fend off two small children with a broom got him every time.

"Daddy!" Pi called as he ran up to his father and hugged his leg. "Look! Ba and I caught this really cool grasshopper!" He said as he opened his hand and the large grasshopper quickly tried to flee.

Cao caught the bug quickly with one swift hand movement. "Now, I will admit, that was very impressive but you two should know by now how your Uncle Yuan feels about bugs."

"Anything with more than four legs!" Yuan said.

"Yeah...anything with more than four legs." Cao said.

"Aww..." Ba and Pi said, pouts on their faces.

"But," Cao said with a click of his tongue. "Your Uncle Dun LOVES bugs. You should go share them with him. In fact, he is taking a shower right now. You should go give him one right now."

"Oh, can I give him this really cool spider?" Ba asked as he held up the spider that was in his left hand.

"He would just love to have a spider take a shower with him," Cao smiled. "Hurry, and make sure to be quiet about it. Make it a big surprise."

"Uncle Dun said he doesn't like surprises." Ba said.

"Well, he'll love this one."

With that the two children ran up the stairs quietly to the bathroom Xiahou Dun was taking his shower.

"Yuanrang doesn't like spiders." Yuan said and a devilish smirk crossed Cao's features, "I know."

Sun Jian smiled, "Careful, Ce. You'll hurt yourself if your not careful."

"I know what I'm doing, dad. Whoah!" Ce quickly grabbed the railing that was to his left. "See, I so got this!"

"Of course you do! Nothing is too much for you. Now, watch your sister while I go speak to your brother. Call me if you need help." Jian said and watched as his oldest son grabbed the railing again. His son loved the monkey bars.

When he went over to Quan he noticed how upset he looked, "What is wrong, Sun Quan?" Jian asked as he sat next to his son.

"How come I have to go to that stupid daycare?" He asked.

"You just have to. Okay? Your brother and sister are there for you, you know that." Jian said.

"Okay...but..." Before Quan could finish, Jian felt a vibration in his pocket. "Oh, we have to go!" He said as he picked Quan up and called for his other children.

"Where are we going? We are going over to Mengde's house." Jian said, a look of concern on his face.

"Is he okay?" Quan asked, seeing the concern.

Jian did not reply. He pulled his phone out with hsi free hand and texted Liu Bei. 'Meet me at Mengde's.'

'What's wrong?'

'Don't know. He just texted and said he's in big trouble.'

'Is he...you know.'

'I don't know.'

"Is Mr. Cao what, dad?" Sun Quan asked as he looked at his father.

"Nothing, Sun Quan."

"Come on, Liu Shuan. We are going to visit Daddy's friends to day." He said as he led Liu Shuan to the car.

"Are we going to see Cao Pi and Sun Quan?" Liu Shuan asked.

"Of course. Now come on." Liu Bei said as he buckeled his son in and than got in the drivers seat. Hold Mengde...I'll be there soon.

Liu Bei started the car and quickly drove to Cao's. Even though he and Cao Cao had never been...close...he couldn't say he didn't like the man. Cao made for great company and his personality made it so as you didn't want to loose him. Oh, how Liu Bei prayed he wouldn't loose Mengde.

He and Jian made it at Cao's home near the same time, Bei only a couple mintues later than Jian. But, since Jian had more kids to get out of the car, they both made it to the front door at the same time. They didn't knock as Jian unlocked the door and both men ran into the living room only to find something horrifying.

I know everyone is very OOC. But, believe me, I'm trying to keep them in character. Though, sometimes I just hate how they act in the games. It doesn't seem...real. Cao Cao is not an angel but he was not a demon, like many people believe. Liu Bei was a man who made mistakes he wasn't so 'perfect' person who could do no wrong, like the game makes you think. Sun Jian...well I never had a problem with him, to be honest. I just hav trouble getting them all in character. Thank You For Reading! Please, review and tell me if you have any suggestions or advice.
