-Sorry it took so long to update Sun Xiang, with all my exams its hard to keep up, plus I don't really find this story as interesting to write as Riding The Wind... I would love any Reviews, so if you have a comment or something that I can improve on, I would love that. Plus I'm a paranoid person... so I don't think people actually read my stories...-
Lu Xun looked up to the sky, he saw her face in side of the moon. How he missed her. Xiang had moved on and left him behind. He remembered all the times they played or enjoyed the setting sun together. Then again that was five years ago, but he just couldn't let go of the past. Ce had passed on and her mother had fled away from the castle, with her. Yu had told him to go with them, to protect them. He had decided to let them go, left with finding out that was not the best decision he could make. Ling Tong had been sent to look after them, now he wished it was him that was guarding them.
"Xun. Quan needs you." A musky voice shouted. He pretended to not hear what he had said. It was her birthday soon, marking the day when they were tore apart. She would be old enough to marry now, but it would be too soon, she had told him that she would wait for him, and he told her to wait for him, that he would be there as soon as he could make it.
"Xun. My lord needs you, now." The voice came. He saw the katana in the large sheaf. Battle. That's what it meant, and he wasn't in the mood for tactics right now. "Come." He said taking Xun by the wrists.
"Why don't you get Yu to do the tactics this time, I'm not really in the mood right now, Tai." Zhou Tai wouldn't leave his lord's orders unattended because he was Quan's ever so loyal bodyguard, he wouldn't just ignore his orders. He had to follow them every single time.
"My lord has asked for you personally. Yu is not needed right now, although he shall help you when the time comes."
"I said leave me alone!" Yun shouted flicking his wrists out of Tai's grasp.
"I'm sorry that it had to resort to this Master Xun... But you gave me no choice." He whispered softly, in a very cold hearted way.
"Had to resort to..." Before he could finish Tai had bashed him in the head quite hard and knocked him straight out.
"Ow... my head..." Xun said groggily. Hazily, he looked up. Sun Quan sat opposite from where he was lying, looking at a scroll on the table in front of him. Behind him Tai took up his position. He looked up from his quiet scowl at the floor.
"Ah. My lord he is finally awake." A voice from behind him spoke. "Just how hard did you hit him, Tai?"
"I hope you didn't injure my best strategist's head." Quan continued. Xun looked to his right, there was a girl who was holding a small cup of water. "Xiang see to it that he gets good treatment, I will find Yu and tell him that Xun is awake. Yu is expecting me sometime soon anyway." Quan rose from his seat and left the room. Tai followed shortly after, leaving Xiang and Xun alone.
"Xiang...is that you?" Xun stuttered.
Giggling she returned, "Of course it's me, silly. Ah, little Lu Xun, how long has it been?"
"Roughly 5 years... god Xiang I missed you so." Xun leaned towards her gently, and attempted to kiss her on the lips, before he was pushed away.
"Xun... I thought you loved my niece... please don't tell me you thought she was me?" She nagged.
"I'm sorry... Wait your not Sun Xiang?" He shouted. Of course,he thought, crap, I almost kissed Quan's sister. Crap he's going to kill me.
"Of course not! She is much younger than me. Anyway how long has it been?" She asked, changing the subject quickly.
"I don't know Shang..." Xun looked to the floor and cried one silent tear. But then wiped it off and walked over to the window where the stars twinkled in the night sky, putting his head in his hands, he sighed. Xiang followed close behind.
"What's on your mind?" she asked. Xun sighed again. When he looked at the stars it felt like she was staring back too, which made him shed countless tears, because she was not there with him.
"I miss her... No-one understands how much I have lost. They just don't get it it at all, and yet they make me try to partake in normal life, when my life isn't normal without her."
"Xun there is no point staying at the same point in your life. I've been there." She replied, looking at the stars too.
"I love her, Shang, I can't just forget about her that easily. That's impossible!" He yelled.
"Trust me Xun, I have loved and lost the same as you. I couldn't get on with my life, because I was dragged kicking and screaming away from him. I loved him and he loved me, but it just couldn't be. There will always be countless hills that you will have to conquer to fight for your love, but their will always be something or someone in your way stopping you from your other half. Xun, I know exactly how you feel."
"Nobody knows exactly how I feel..." He shed some more tears and walked over towards the doors.
"Wait, Where are you going?" Xiang shouted after him. "Xun!"
"You were implying that I fight for my love, and that's just what I'm going to do!"
"How Xun! You don't even know where she is! She could be anywhere!"
"I know who to ask about that. I'm going to find Gan Ning..."
