Thanks for the Review: Dunrrr and pyro-josh and the authorett...
Reply for Review:
pyro-josh and the authorett...: Thanks! But sometimes, making a grammatical mistakes makes me embarrassed. Luckily, no one flames me until now :D Well, I don't hate flames that much, though.
Dunrrr: I'm also a huge fan of KH amd DW. Those are two games that I played for the first time when I got my PS2. Riku and Xing Cai must leave... it's sad. I'm feeling bad for both of them. I'll try to make a happy ending for them if you want to. Lu Xun and SSX are the best couple in my opinion. They are just a fan-couple who historically incorrect, but I still like them most!
Alright. Just want to remind you once again, guys. Review is not a bad thing. It would hurt or kill you just to give a review after reading, right? So, please... I need review to improve this story. Flame me if you want, but only intelligent flames accepted.
Now, let the story begin!
Wei Capital City: Xu Chang, Wei Palace, Guest's Room
"I cannot believe what you have done, cousin!"
"I'm afraid we don't have any other option, Xiahou Dun."
"To welcome such person and to join their plan is unthinkable, father."
"He assured us that we could destroy Wu and Shu using their invincible troop. We can use it for our benefit."
Who're there?
Kairi was awakened by those voices which she had never heard before. She opened her eyes. At first she saw a blurry image of where she was, but later it changed to be a lavish room. One side of the room was a tapestry of a flying golden phoenix. She realized that she was lying on a warm and soft bed when someone put a hand on her forehead.
"Where… am I?" She asked with a weak voice.
"You're in Wei palace, little lady." There came the answer.
She turned to look at that voice. A woman sat beside her. Her beauty face and graceful movement made Kairi stare. This was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. She was a princess, probably a queen, she thought.
"Wei…" The word slipped from Kairi tongue. Then, she finally remembered everything. Naminé promised her to take her to Sora, but she was dragged to a different place by a mysterious man. Where exactly she was?
"Please forgive my impertinence, my Lady. But may I ask who you are and where exactly this place is?" she tried to sit up and bowed to the older woman.
That woman gave her a smile. "My name is Zhen Ji and this is Wei place. I see that you aren't from this country. I think it would be best if I explain you everything."
"If you don't mind, please, Lady Zhen Ji."
And Zhen Ji explained her everything. It was maybe hard to understand for Kairi, though.

Wu Capital City: Jian Ye, Wu Palace, Lu Xun's Room
"No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!"
Sora jumped from his bed. It was actually Lu Xun's bed. But since Donald and Goofy slept in the guest's room and no space left for him, Lu Xun decided to share his bed with him. It was big enough for three people at their size.
It had been two weeks since he arrived there and encountered the Nobodies with Lu Xun. And nothing happened since then. Not a single Nobody appeared. But today would be different. He jumped from Lu Xun's bed and rubbed his sleepy eyes, to see Lu Xun frantically took some papers and scrolls.
"What's wrong, Lu Xun? It's still early! Having a nightmare?"
He answered, maybe shouted, without turning around to look at Sora. "I'm late for the strategy meeting today!"
"So early?" Sora widened his eyes. "When will it start?"
"Three hours from now."
Sora couldn't say anything. How diligent he was… he thought, comparing the young strategist to himself.
"Three hours from now. We still have at least two hour to sleep, don't you think?"
This time, Lu Xun turned around and gave him an annoyed gaze. "Sleep? I have to report all of this to Lord Zhou Yu before the meeting and you told me to sleep again? Do you want me to have another lecture with Lord Lu Meng?" he said, pointing at the papers and scrolls he had taken.
"Let me think. Zhou Yu's the pretty man and Lu Meng is the old guy."
"He's not that old… He's my brother after all."
"I mean, he's so old…" Sora tried to get a word. "…old-fashioned… Old-timer? Something like that. Hey, I've noticed that he more looks like your father than your brother!"
Lu Xun gave a half-hearted grin before back to his work.
"Lu Bo Yan! Could you please have a time for yourself? Last time you told me you will leave those strategy things!"
"Since when you called me by that name? Only my brothers call me that." Lu Xun changed the subject, but to no avail due to Sora's acknowledge of this.
"Since that pirate friend of yours always call you by that name." Sora crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Enough. Now answer me."
Lu Xun stopped his work. "Well, I just feel it's not a good thing to… to leave my duty as strategist."
"Haven't Sun Ce told you that you must concentrate on our enemy now? The Nobodies?"
"It's not like that! It's just that… it has been two weeks, and I haven't even slain a single Nobody since then. I feel somewhat guilty."
"But you should at least have some time for yourself, don't you think? Even as a Keyblade wielder, you still spend you time doing those things!"
"But I have done nothing to this kingdom. And I regret I can't help as much as Lord Zhou Yu and Lord Lu Meng. So, at least, this is the last thing I could do."
"But-"
Lu Xun gave him a slight resentful glare. "You would never understand, Sora! You have done many good things in your live as a Keyblade wielder. You don't know how useless I am. I'm not good at commanding troops, or at fighting, or at ruling a city, or even…."
"Please, Lu Xun! Stop being so humble! I'm sure they don't think as badly of you as you think." Sora cut him off.
Lu Xun closed his eyes and sighed in frustration. He then took a seat at the nearest chair before giving reply.
"I have done nothing…"
"Let me remind you then. You spend your precious two weeks on your room and doing paperwork. Even ignoring your roommate." And that's true. Lu Xun always asked Sora to go somewhere else when he did his works. And he finally let Sora in when he had done his work, which meant it was always at late night. "I can't imagine how busy you had been before I came."
"Sorry, Sora. But…"
Sora gave up. No one could ever change his mind. He tossed Lu Xun's hat and he quickly grabbed it and put it on his head.
"If that is what you think, then go and meet Zhou Yu and Lu Meng. I don't want to keep you any longer."
Lu Xun gave him an apologize look. Then he left the room. "Thanks, Sora."

Wu Capital City: Jian Ye, Wu Palace, Shang Xiang's Room
Naminé had tried desperately to sleep, but she couldn't. In fact, she didn't sleep a wink this night. Something is bothering her, but she didn't know what. It looked like something very bad would happen.
She looked at the sleeping Shang Xiang. There was a reason why she slept in her room. Naminé couldn't fight at all, even protect herself. She wasn't born to be a warrior after all. So, Sun Ce decided that Naminé should sleep with the warrior princess in case if something happened.
"Shang Xiang…" she tried to wake her, but she decided not after seeing the how peaceful the princess' face in her sleep. She must have a very beautiful dream.
She put her clothes on and exited the room. Breathing the fresh morning air would be good. But, when she opened the door, she crashed into someone that happened to be Lu Xun.
"Sorry!" He apologized, kneeling to take the entire scrolls he had dropped.
"I'm the one who should apologize." Corrected Naminé quickly before helping him with his things. By now, all the scrolls had been placed safety in his hand.
"Thanks, Na Ming." He said.
"It was my fault, Lu Xun."
"No, I'm the one who running through this corridor without noticing you. I'm sorry." He bowed his head slightly and Naminé couldn't help but to smile at the boy's politeness.
"It's okay. Anyway, why are you in such rush? It's still early."
Lu Xun rubbed his head. "Yes. But I should take this to Lord Zhou Yu."
"I see…"
"If you would to excuse me…"
Naminé quickly cut him off, realizing that she had wasted his precious time. "Oh, sure, Lu Xun."
She looked at the leaving figure. Something bad would be happened…

Wei Capital City: Xu Chang, Wei Palace, Guest's Room
"Let me get this clear." Kairi said. "So, you want to attack Wu again despite your loss at Chibi?"
Zhen Ji nodded. "To be honest, Kairi, I also don't agree with our Lord's decision."
"May I know why he wants to attack once more?"
"According to the mysterious man, we should get rid of certain two boys from Wu, because they may ruin our Lord's plan."
Kairi thought for a moment. "The mysterious man… I'm sure I have ever met him."
"Where?"
"That's the problem. I don't know where. And he might be the one who dragged me here."
Zhen Ji gave her nod before Kairi asked further. "So, how can those boys ruined Lord Cao Cao's plan, Lady Zhen ji?"
"The creatures that the man loaned is said to be invincible. They couldn't be slain by a normal weapon. They could only slain by a certain weapon. And, these two boys have the weapon. It would be necessary to kill them before they can destroy the creatures."
"But…" Kairi placed a hand under her chin. "…don't you think it would be unfair if we attack with those creatures which no one can attack?"
"I don't agree either. But our Lord has decided and no one can change it." She sighed.
"Ummm… would you mind telling me the weapon's name?"
"It's Keyblade."

Wu Capital City: Jian Ye, Wu Palace, In the Corridor
Lu Xun ran passed the still dark corridor. He had finished his work with Zhou Yu earlier than he thought, and somewhat felt happy about it. He had two hours before the strategy meeting. When he ran passed Sun Quan's room, he saw a figure stood in front of the door. The figure stuck his ear on the door, as if to hear what the people inside were talking about.
"Hi! Sora! What are you doing?"
Sora turned to look at Lu Xun, showed him a shocked look. His face pale and he stammered. "No-nothing…"
Lu Xun gave him a confused face. "Tell me, what's wrong?
"Ummm…" Sora bit his lower lip when Lu Xun gave more curious look. "Sun Quan said that we will have Dim Sum today! Nice isn't it?" Sora gave him a wide smile.
Lu Xun knew exactly that Sora was lying, but he said nothing. He didn't want to spend his time.
"Yes, that's nice. Anyway, I will go back to our room, Sora. I wish to see you at the strategy meeting."
"No problem!" he said before waving his hand.
After Lu Xun was out of hearing range, he sighed. He was worried right now. "What should I do? What should I do?!" he asked frantically at no one. And surely his action was caused by what he had heard from Sun Quan's room.
He ran through the corridor to the garden in such pace, when she saw Naminé sat against a tree. She turned her head and waved at Sora. "Morning, Sora."
Sora was in no condition of being as cheerful as usual. He sighed and sat beside Naminé. He looked troubled.
"Is something bothering you?" She asked.
"Well, before I tell you, maybe I should explain first." Sora looked at her. "Do you know that Lu Xun has interest at her? Shang Xiang?"
Naminé giggled. "Furthermore, Sora, I know that the princess also fancy him."
Sora smacked his head. "It's getting worse, then!"
"What's wrong?" she asked confusedly.
"Sun Quan, along with Sun Ce has made a plan to marry their sister to Shu Emperor. I heard this when I walked pass their room."
Naminé gasped. "That can't be!"
Sora gave a defeat sigh. "How can they plan her to marry an unknown man?"
"In China, Sora." Naminé explained. "Women hardly have authority to choose their own husbands."
"How? Why?" He imagined how Lu Xun would be after hearing this news. "I don't understand! This China… it's so different with the China I know from Mulan!"
"We can't do anything now." Naminé sighed. "Poor Lu Xun and Shang Xiang."
"No! we have to put a stop to this!" Sora stood up, he clenched his fist. "Come on, Na Ming! You're also Shang Xiang's friend, aren't you? We should help them!"
Naminé nodded. "I will do the best I can, Sora."

Wei Capital City: Xu Chang, Wei Palace, Guest's Room
"Keyblade!?" Kairi widened her eyes. The boys might be Sora or Riku, or both!
"Why are you so shocked, Kairi?" Zhen Ji asked, trying to calm her down.
"They… they might be my friends."
"Maybe, since one of them also come from other place." She said. "One of them MUST be your friend. But I doubt the other one. The other boy is Wu's young strategist."
Kairi recalled Naminé said something about new Keyblade wielder. That must be him. But, she was more concerned at the other.
"The mysterious man said something about 'Kingdom Key'." Zhen Ji said, interrupting Kairi's thought.
"Kingdom Key?! That must be Sora!"
Zhen Ji pitied her. "If our Lord knows that you're one of his friends, he will use you to get him."
Kairi was more than terrified after hearing Zhen Ji's statement. "What should I do?"
"Relax. I also don't trust the mysterious man. Until the time comes, I'll hide your identity."
Kairi smiled and thanked her. To have a friend on her side made her relieved. "Thanks, Zhen Ji."

Wu Capital City: Jian Ye, Wu Palace, Lu Xun's Room
Sora opened his Lu Xun's room's door. He felt little relieved after talking with Naminé. He saw Lu Xun straightened his hat. He then turned at Sora.
"Ready for the meeting?"
"Anytime, pal." He answered, back to his normal cheerful attitude.
The two smiled. They both seemed had forgotten what had happened before.
"Where are Donald and Goofy?" Lu Xun asked.
"They are still sleeping. Even if they are awake, I'm afraid they won't attend the meeting."
Lu Xun laughed. "Yeah, you're right. The meeting will bore you to tears!"
"Aren't you the one who suppose to speak? I thought you are the strategist."
"Wu has three strategist. That's me, Lord Zhou Yu, and Lord Lu Meng. But Lord Zhou Yu is the main strategist and he moderates every meeting." He explained. "Additionally, as you said, I was a strategist."
Sora shrugged. "Well, I don't think I could escape from attending this meeting, even if it would bore me to tears."
"Why?"
"Because you won't let me escape, will you?"
Lu Xun punched Sora shoulder lightly. "Well, we're getting late! Let's go!"
--
Wu Capital City: Jian Ye, Wu Palace, In the Garden
She was shocked by Sora's information, but more surprised when Shang Xiang approached her. Spirited, as usual.
"Morning, Na Ming!"
"Morning, Shang Xiang." She replied weakly.
"Will you join the strategy meeting?" asked Shang Xiang.
Naminé shook her head. "I'm not a general or officer, Shang Xiang. I think I'm not going."
"Oh, well then." She nodded. "See ya!"
"Wait, Shang Xiang?"
Naminé took a deep breath. She started to tell Shang Xiang the truth.
"There's a bad news, Shang Xiang." She dared not to look at her face.
"And what's that?" She asked. Her smiled didn't cease from her lips. And this made Naminé felt uneasy to tell her. To make her sad was a shame. She decided not to tell her, yet. Let someone else tell her.
"That's nothing."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, please don't take this seriously. I'm just testing you." She forced herself to reply her smile.
"Well, bye then." She waved her hand. "I'll meet you after this meeting, kay?"
Naminé nodded and seeing her retreating form. Now, what should she do?

Northern Shu Territory: Mount Ding Jun, Outside Shu Encampment
"So, we're leaving?" Asked Xing Cai to his father.
"Yes. Everyone, let's go home!"
She mounted on her horse and took a last sight from Mt. Ding Jun. Liu Bei had ordered all his officers to discus something very important. And Xing Cai wondered what it was. But it wasn't what bothering her so much. Something greater is bothering her. It was Guan Ping. What would she do when she meet him, considering bringing another boy?
"What's wrong, Xing Cai?" Came the gentle voice.
"Oh, hi, Riku." She gave him the best smile she could. She didn't know why, but she always tried her best in front of Riku. "How're you?"
"Fine. And you?"
"Me too." She lied.
She looked at his figure. He mounted on a white horse. The wind blew past his silver long hair and the sunlight made his face shinning somehow. The scenery made Xing Cai melted. He looked like a brave prince in the fairytales her father used to tell her.
"Any problem, Xing Cai?" He asked politely. Xing Cai quickly looked down at her mare. Her face red due to being caught stared at someone, twice.
"No-nothing."
"You can always talk to me if you have problem." He smiled at her, made her heart beat faster even more.
"Well, I'm just wondering why Lord Liu Bei called us." She said, still dare not to face him.
"I heard that he receive an offer of alliance from Wu." He answered her, but still looked confused at her. Why is she avoiding me? He thought.
"We're already formed an alliance with Wu. So I think it isn't necessary."
"This is different. The alliance sealed in marriage." He answered.
"Marriage?" This is when she dared to face him, showing him her surprised look.
"That's what I heard. What do you think?"
She shook her head. "I'm not sure this will work. Otherwise…" she paused.
"Otherwise?"
"The soon-to-be-married woman. I'm quite sure that she was forced to marry Lord Liu Bei. What if she doesn't love him?"
"To form an alliance with a marriage… I utterly disagree. It wouldn't last long. And if the couple don't love each other, it would be a torture to both of them."
"I pity the woman. Especially if she already has someone she loves"
Riku couldn't give any replies. He shut his mouth.
"I couldn't imagine if one day I'm to be forced to marry someone I don't know." She sighed.
At this, Riku could felt his heart aching.
Xing Cai looked at Riku, who kept silent. "Sorry if I bother you, Riku."
"It's okay, Xing Cai."

Wu Capital City: Jian Ye, Wu Palace, Meeting Room
"An envoy from Wei has sent us this letter." Zhou Yu started. "He said that he would launch another full-force attack to Jiang Dong."
Sun Ce laughed at this. "Has he forgotten his defeat at Chibi? We should teach them more lessons, then."
"Indeed." Zhou Yu said confidently. "I shall devise a plan to repel them."
"Our spies have reported that they have reached the great river. Unfortunately, they are uncertain of the number of the army." Lu Meng reported further.
"Nothing to be worried. Their number makes no difference. We can defeat them as we did to them at Chibi." Said Taishi Ci.
"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded.
The Wu officers seemed confident about the Wei campaign, except Lu Xun and Sora. They both had somewhat bad feeling about this
"Lord Zhou Yu, if I may ask, maybe we should be more cautious." Lu Xun said after gave a bow. "I have a bad feeling about this."
All the whole officers looked at him with wide eyes. Then Zhou Yu said at a slight infuriated tone. "Lu Xun, why do you say such thing? Are you trying to pummel our morale?"
Lu Xun quickly gave a deep bow. "I apologize for my impertinence, my Lord. But I have a reason for saying such things."
Before Zhou Yu opened his mouth, Sun Ce quickly cut him off. "What's that, Lu Xun?"
"Thank you, Lord Sun Ce." He continued. "My reason is…"
Lu Xun paused. To be honest, he didn't have any reason except his bad feeling.
"Yes, Lu Xun?"
"Ummm… well, just a kind of bad feeling." He gave up, telling the truth in the end.
The officers burst into laugh. Some of them even mocked and made fun of him. He just locked his gaze at the floor, ashamed of his answer. Suddenly he felt a hand placed on his shoulder. It was Sora.
"I agree with him, Sun Ce. We should be careful."
Sun Ce shook his head. "We will lead a troop against them. Right, Zhou Yu?"
He nodded. "And if you two don't mind, please sit down."
Both Lu Xun and Sora sighed. They sat down again when suddenly the door slammed open.
"Don't march your troop there, Lord Sun Ce!" was the shout.
--
Northern Shu Territory: Way to Cheng Du, In the Middle of a Forest
Metal-to-metal crash sound was audible throughout the forest. The troops kept the pace when suddenly a group of bandits attacked them. The bandits' number is so many, much more than their own troops.
"Riku, take Xing Cai to a safe place!" Ma Chao shouted when their troop's number kept decreasing. The bandits had caused many casualties and they were obviously in disadvantage now.
"No! I can fight!" She shouted back.
"Please, Xing Cai. This is dangerous." Riku grabbed her hand.
"But I-"
"Xing Cai, don't you know your own condition? Even if you could fight, we're outnumbered. And we still in doubt whether we could win or not. So please, do it for me, okay?"
'do it for me' That's the keyword. And the two quickly retreated into deeper forest.
"No! Father! Ma Chao!" She started to cry.
Riku couldn't see her crying, so he just kept galloping his white steed.
"AAAAHHHHH!!"
Riku turned around. Xing Cai's mare was struck by an arrow on it's foot. The mare collapsed to the ground, as its owner did. Before he could help her, a dozen of bandits appeared and grabbed Xing Cai harshly.
"Hey, pretty girl! Want to play with us?" Said the bandit leader teasingly.
"No, let go of me, you dirty rats!" She kicked and punched desperately.
"Let go of her!" Came the bold and firm voice. And Xing Cai was utterly relived.
"RIKU!!"
"So, she's your girl, boy? And now you play hero to help her? How cute!" The bandit said. "The girl can wait. Attack him!"
Riku didn't have any weapon. The Keyblade didn't appear, as he predicted. But, with his agile body, he could dodge their attack and made some of them desperately attack him in vain. Xing Cai, who was left behind, watched in awe. Riku kicked one of them and took a blade from his grasp. With that, he could easily strike them. But he decided not to kill them, instead made them collapsed. He attacked them with the flat side of the blade, which made Xing Cai awed him more and more. All the bandit had been defeated. But, none of the two realized that one of the bandits had stood up and walked closely behind Xing Cai. He raised his blade and attacked her from behind.
"XING CAI!!"
She screamed at the sight of her attacker. She quickly shut her eyes before the blade reached her. But, instead of feeling the sharpness of the blade, she felt being pushed back to the ground and she felt a body pressed her. She opened her eyes to see Riku's face. He's panting and sweating.
"A-are you… okay?" He whispered weakly. But before she could answer, he stood up quickly and stabbed the dumfounded bandit right on his guts. The bandit's corpse collapsed. Riku stood still. A lock of his long silver hair fell to his damp face. He dropped his blade and fell on one knee. He breathed heavily.
"Riku!" Xing Cai approached him. The sight of the boy made her gasp. On his back was a long scar, caused by the slash the bandit had previously given him. It was bleeding. His clothes soaked by his own blood. Xing Cai was now realized that Riku had taken the attack, using his own body as shield to protect Xing Cai. Despite his serious wound, he tried hardly to stand.
"It's… o-okay. Not… a deep… w-wound." He said. His voice was weak, and it was obvious to Xing Cai that Riku was trying to hide the pain. Xing Cai helped him to sat against a tree. Seeing Riku in that condition made Xing Cai felt so guilty. If only she was more careful, Riku wouldn't be like this.
"I'm.. so sorry, Riku." She buried her face on her hands, hiding her watery eyes. She knelt beside him.
"It's not your fault, Xing Cai." He stroked Xing Cai's soft hair gently.
She opened her eyes to see Riku smiled at her. She could guess that he hid his pain with that smile. She cried harder. Her tears didn't stop running down from her eyes. He said nothing. He pushed her head closer to him and rested her head on his chest. He embraced her warmly. Xing Cai couldn't help but cried and sobbed. Her tears soaked Riku's clothes, but she didn't care. She just concerned about Riku now. She put her hand around his back, where exactly the wound was. And to Riku's bad luck, she hugged him so tightly and made the wound more painful. He didn't want to break their embrace, so he tried to hide it by biting his lower lip.
"Riku, please… forgive me." She sobbed, still hugging Riku tightly.
Riku said nothing, for he now that if he opened his mouth, he would scream due to trying so hard to hide his pain.
"Riku?" She finally looked upon him. Her eyes still watery but she was now confused at seeing Riku shut his eyes ant bit his lip. And finally, Riku gave up.
"Xing Cai…, don't h-hug me… there. It's pain…"
As soon as Riku finished his sentence, Xing Cai loosed her hug and hide them behind her back. Her face red.
She stuttered. "I-I'm sorry. I'm so.. so w-worried."
Riku chuckled at the girl in front o him. "It's okay."
"REINFORCEMENT!!"
They heard the scream and galloping voice. Finally the bandits were defeated.
"Finally the reinforcement has arrived! Wait here, Riku! I'll call for help."
"No need, Xing Cai. I can walk."
"NO! Sit here unless you want to lose more blood!"
He looked at the running Xing Cai. He smiled. Although his back is so painful, at least he could protect her.

Wu Capital City: Jian Ye, Wu Palace, Meeting Room
"Na Ming! What are you doing here?" asked Shang Xiang. Head tilted.
She breathed heavily. She walked pass the confused officer and stood in front of Sun Ce. She then knelt and bowed her head.
"I will explain about my misbehavior, but please let me tell you the truth first."
"Wait. I don't know what you're talking about, Na Ming."
"I'm not Na Ming." She admitted. She loosed her low ponytail, still kneeling. "I'm at your mercy, my Lord. I'm not a traveling merchant."
The crowd gasped in surprise.
"My name is Naminé. I also came from the same place at Sora." She gave a glimpse at the confused looking Sora. "I hid my identity. Have your mercy at me, Lord Sun Ce."
"Alright, alright… please stand up." He ordered and Naminé obeyed it. "Let's make this clear, okay? Sora, have you ever met her?"
Sora shook his head. "I can't remember ever meeting her."
Naminé nodded inwardly. Since his memories about Castle Oblivion had been erased, his memory about her also had been erased too.
"He's right. We never meet, but I know him since he's a Keyblade wielder."
"Oh, well then." He back to his seat. "Please be seated."
Naminé took a sit between Sora and Shang Xiang.
"Naminé, why did you rush like that? Is there something wrong?"
She nodded. "I, along with Sora and Lu Xun have a bad feeling about this. Sora and Lu Xun could feel this because they're Keyblade wielders, when I can feel it too." She paused. "The presence of Nobody. Do you get what I mean?"
Of course she could feel Nobody's presence. After all, she was also a Nobody.
Lu Meng shocked. "Do you mean… they use Nobodies as their soldiers?"
She nodded. "Yes."
"How could?" Zhou Yu stood. "I need more explanation."
Naminé bowed respectfully. "With your permission, my Lord, I would like to tell you that Wei is using them against us. Maybe they have made a contract with Organization XIII. Thus, they could control them."
As expected, all of the Wu officers gasped and whispered to each other.
"Silence!" Zhou Yu ordered. "Than, Naminé, what do you think we should do?"
Naminé sighed. "I regret that I should say that we could only rely on these Keyblade wielders." She eyed at the two boys on her left. And all the eyes followed her to eye at the two.
"Wait, isn't there any other thing we can do?" asked Lu Xun. He gazed at Naminé, who gave him a shook as reply.
"Are you sure about this?" Sun Ce asked.
"I swear on my life, my Lord." She answered firmly.
Zhou Yu sat down. He took a parchment and wrote on it using his brushes. "It's decided then. Lu Xun and Sora, you're to go there immediately. Since our troop could do nothing, I'll give you 1.000 soldiers."
Sora laughed. "No need Zhou Yu. Lu Xun, my friends Donald and Goofy, plus I could get rid of them. You're only killing soldier in vain."
Both Lu Xun and Zhou Yu glared at him. He whispered to Lu Xun. "You said you don't want to see your people die, did you?"
"Fine. I trusted this task to you four. Tell Donald and Goofy once they get up and prepare your things. You're leaving as soon as possible."
Lu Xun stared blankly. DAMMIT! He swore mentally
