Hey there here is the next chappie.

Chapter three.

Zhao Yun confused as to why she was sleeping in the woods walked to her. Then saw the tear lines on her face and got upset. He looked around seeing no evidence of rape he was confused even more. He set her head on his lap and waited for the lady to wake. He sighed and thought about a few things. She began to stir and he smiled.

"What Zhao Yun why are you here?" She asked looking shocked. He kissed her and held her.

"I was sent to find you. Your father and our lord wish to speak to you. I just want to see you. I have a question though. You seem to be sad and look to have been crying." Be fore he could finish she sighed.

"I'm in a dilemma. Before I tell you my father must not know till I feel ready to tell." Zhao Yun nodded. "I have two men in love with me. You and one from Wu. Both of you I barely know and have found to be easily attached to. I feel I can talk to you both but I can't have both of you. I would be a whore then. I guess I don't know what to do. I feel bad because I see my self as another mindless soldier. Y…" He kissed her and then smiled.

"Don't worry I will not view you as less considering you seem scared about the thought alone that two love you. I just wish I could have no competition in your heart. Now as for the fact of not telling your father I will be silent but you need to tell him. We will be battling Wei for a while. I feel we will be fighting along side Wu for a while but not for ever." Chi Tai nodded and smiled.

"Thanks Zhao Yun. I feel better I wish both of you could be happy." She said and kissed him. She was happy for a moment. They would need to head back.

Riding the horse to the stables she got off and petted the other. After that she walked to the palace and in to the throne room. She bowed to her lord and father.

"Why did you ride out without the escort of a guard or one of the generals Lady Chi Tai?" Asked Liu Bei. She looked down at the ground.

"I needed to be alone and out of the palace. I had a lot on my mind and just needed to get away. I always carry my blades and crossbow. As for the choice of horse I apologize to lord Guan Yu I grabbed the first and fastest horse. I needed to out run the guards and be able to hide for a while. I will make no excuses. I will state the facts." She said and they knew she would take the punishment.

Liu Bei was proud that she would not fight the punishment but also sad at the same time. She was begging for the end. They all could see. She wanted to die. What was the problem? Zhao Yun knew something and he needed answers. I will ask him later. She is our biggest and strongest fighter she needs to be happy. Zhao Yun had the sad look too.

Zhuge Liang glared at her. She was telling the truth and willing to take the punishment and she could not be punished do to it. The honesty of her words made her untouchable. He was furious. He as a father could but not the lord.

"What are you going to do for me to not punish you?" Asked her father and she winced. He would punish her no matter what she did and she had an idea.

"Well considering I no longer carry the name of Zhuge since I dishonor the name. I guess nothing I have no need to prove my self. You touch me and you face the wrath of the lord you serve." She stated knowing that would stop him she spoke the truth. In all truth he had disowned her. He growled and glared. She had side step him for once. Finding the loop whole in his thinking.

"For once you truly prove the relation between us. You have found the truth in the facts. But you forget I brought you here and can take you away." He said. "I am your father." He continued.

"No I have no father and will be orphaned for the rest of my life. My father disowned me at birth only tolerating me because of my mother." She said and turned.

"By the way Zhuge Liang to honor your graciousness for not killing me on birth. I have two suitors now and not one will have to go through you. You gave up that right long ago. I may turn to my brother but I doubt it." She said and left She walked to her room and shut the door.

Liu Bei was stunned he had know the girl was smart but to use the law her father created against him to get out of punishment was brilliant. Every man in the room was silent waiting for the strategist to kill the young girl but he hadn't. Zhao Yun was stunned to say the least.

She sat there and stared at the ceiling needing sleep she was drifting till a knock came and she walked to the door. She grabbed her blade thinking of all it could be.

"Who is it?" she asked and the person responded.

"Your mother." Said a feminine voice that did belong to her mother. She opened it a little knowing her father could trick her. She let the person in. When it proved to be who was stated she came out of hiding.

"Sorry I guess I know my 'father' to well. I know he is listening so I won't say anything else." She said and turned and laid on her bed. The door burst open showing a pissed off Zhuge Liang.

"What have I done to deserve this treatment?" He said and Chi Tai rolled her eyes the question was a trick he would ask she answers then is slapped.

"I will not play your games. I grow tired of this leave before I force you to." She said and then waited. Yue Ying turned to leave but saw her husband stand there.

"You can't force me to do anything woman. I am the one to or…" A hilt to the head shut him up she tossed him out and shut the door. Locking it and laid down. Chi Tai now truly needed to leave. Opening the door and ignoring those around her she went to the stables. She had written a note and dropped it to her mother and walked off.

Entering the stables she found Pang Tong. He seemed to be waiting for her. She smiled and grabbed her friend the white horse and saw the tiger there too. She hopped on and rode with the man.

"I figured you would be needing to leave and came to the stables. You attract men as well as trouble." He said and laughed. She did too he lightened her spirits.

"I guess that is true I just don't understand why I mean so little to the man that fathered me. He acts like I don't exist till I piss him off. Then all the sudden he expects me to be the angel he fathered. I am more powerful then my brother who by chance betrayed him. I am better and I don't mean shit. Now that I misbehave I get to be inexistence. I don't mean to rant and rave on you." Pang Tong laughed.

"You matter to the rest of us who see you as a friend and to some more then that. Zhao Yun has taken to you and I seem to have found someone who can find me as a vent. You are a good girl you just seem to need someone to be close to a man in your life since daddy never was. Now Zhao Yun told me you had a problem. I guess there is one from Wu who seeks to have you." Chi Tai blushed slowing to the clearing she had come to before.

"Yeah it is Zhou Yu the strategist of Wu he saw me earlier. He told me of his feelings. I guess I just am scared that death will find me before I can decide. I dearly want to get to know them both but I fear being orphaned and a nobody in the eyes of my family they will think lower of me." She said near tears.

Pang tong sat there his heart going to the young wolf in front of him. If you met her in battle the pain was gone you would not see the pained heart of a young girl. She was desperate for one of two things. First to die and not have to let others be hurt. Or find a family to love her. She had a mother Yue Ying was sadden by the pain her husband caused. Why does this girl receive the torture of a father that hates her? She is wonderful carrying girl. Which ever gets her I hope they can heal a heart that was broken early on? Thought the elder man.

"I bet that Zhou Yu won't mind. I know Zhao Yun doesn't if it helps though you can talk to your mother or me at any time. I don't mind the thrashing. Any way I thought I would be a good friend." She smiled and hugged him.

"Thanks Pang Tong I appreciate the help." She said and laid on the grass.

Pang Tong casted a little magic around the area. He saw her falling asleep and then felt someone approaching. Walking to the edge he saw Zhao Yun but knew it was Zhuge.

"I have been ordered to not let you near your daughter by Guan Yu and his brother Zhange Fei. I will follow those orders." The man sat there and waited.

"Why are you protecting the girl she is a no…my lord Guan Yu." Guan Yu was atop Red Hare and approached the barrier. He stopped and Zhang Fei approached.

"You to may enter the barrier will recognize you and allow you." He said and they walked through. They rode to the girl and watched her.

"I protect her because I can see the pain in her heart. She is a good girl and one that cares for others. She took on a false name to protect your honor and fights under the fake name. Yet you punish her for it. No other father has a girl that will do that. I guess I don't see the problem I would be proud if I had a child that would fight that good under my name. She is as good as any son. Yet you see her as a bad child. You will never see her as worth the air. But we do and will protect her to the end." Said the man and walked off. In the darkness sat an observer. He watched the fight and smiled. Disappearing in to the darkness.

Guan Yu looked at the girl sleeping on the grass not wishing to wake her he sat on the ground. Zhang Fei his oath brother was on the other side. They both knew why they were here. She would not return till morning but for some reason they wanted to protect her. But for some reason they both were nervous of her waking and finding them. Pang Tong walked into the clearing.

"One question for you my lords." He said seeing the brothers' nod. "If you both had a girl like her that could fight as good as she looks. She changed her name because she didn't wish to dishonor you would you be angry or happy?" They thought. Zhang Fei was first to answer.

"I would be sad she thinks she needs to change her name but happy none the less." He said and smiled to the girl next to him. "After all I have a daughter and she is of a different name. Mine none the less." He said thinking of Xing Cai.

"I have the same feeling as Fei here. But to tell the truth I see her already as a daughter of mine. She would be the balance in my many sons." He said and put the head of the sleeping girl in his lap.

Guan Yu stroked the jet-black hair of the young lady. Wishing to have the girl as a daughter. It was no secret her home life was bad. Yue Ying told the lords of the troubled life her daughter lived. She begged for their help. That was when Pang Tong volunteered to be her guardian until Chi Tai found a husband. But he told Yue Ying if he could he would adopt the girl because she needed the figure of a good father. As did his brother's.

"What will we do we all consider her a daughter. I guess we should figure that out huh?" Said Fei waiting for the mysterious Pang Tong to return. He watched as the older man sat there with the girl sleeping. They heard people approaching the scene and saw Yue Ying and Pang Tong entering the clearing.

"Thank you my lords I appreciate this. My husband is not pleased with the decision I have made. But my child and her happiness and safety matter most to me." She said and looked at her sleeping daughter.

"Sorry to interrupt the happy scene but my barrier will no longer hold. Liang will come for her." Guan Yu nodded.

"Let him we can take him." Said Zhang Fei only to hear someone coming in the opposite direction.

"Sorry I heard you all talking and decided to come see but I guess…Lady Chi Tai!" A child of Wu came running. They could see she was of Wu due to the red but she had the appearance of a child.

"Sister do you always…Sister we aren't to be here Sun Jian will be angered." Said the second one.

"He won't be if we return with Lady Chi Tai. Besides Da I want to get out of the place I am bored." Said the one near the sleeping girl.

"Fine Xiao. But we will need to leave in the morning it is to dark to return now." Said the girl named Da. She sighed and sat down.

"Hello I am Xiao Qiao my sister is Da Qiao." She said with a smile on her face.

"My name is Yue Ying and I am the mother to Lady Chi Tai. These are my lords Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. We are of Shu. But I heard you say you wish to take my daughter to the Wu palace." The girls nodded hearing another approach the scene, but from the direction they came from.

"Da! Xiao!" said a male voice and that woke the sleeping girl. She jumped and stood. Entering the scene was Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, and Tenko.

"Chi Tai you finally wake from your sleep." She turned to see her mother and lords. She looked to where she slept and reliezed that she used Guan Yu as a pillow.

"I…" She was silenced by the man. Guan Yu could see she was surprised yet she kept the lady attitude.

"No need to apologize. I placed you there. I see you as a daughter and will treat you as such. Same goes for Zhang Fei." And before anyone could say anything Xiao spoke.

"From what I heard so does our lord." Zhou Yu nodded.

"He asked us to come find her hearing of the trouble threw messenger and wanted to help. He said if we found her to bring her to him." He looked at her with longing and love. He wanted to help as well. This was not missed by the fathers in the area.

"Zhou Yu can we speak to you?" Said Fei and walked away. Zhou Yu followed and so did Guan Yu.

Zhou Yu

"I saw that look now we know one of ours loves her and Pang Tong told us about you. Something bothers me." Zhou Yu gathered what the unspoken question was.

"Though I am engaged I can still call it off. I do not love the one I am engaged with. I love Lady Chi Tai." He said and waited.

"We need for both of you to prove to us you can take care of her and heal her. For she is our daughter. The Daughter of Shu it's self." Said Guan Yu

"We will allow you to take her to your lord till things cool down." Zhou Yu bowed and walked back with them. He had a sword at his side because on the way he figured he might have to fight. As they approached they heard screams and blades clashing. Zhou Yu and the others ran to the fight and saw Zhuge Liang and Chi Tai fighting.

"You will be my daughter again and be punished for your behavior!" Said Zhuge Liang. After that Chi Tai Jumped up and went into musou…

That is the chapter find out what happens next.
