Izuru sits at the fountain, watching the Jin characters he had just followed. "I remember one person from each kingdom has died. Only Jin remains, so one of them will die next, but who? This is turning into Final Destination...I should just keep watch on them to try and prevent a death." He sees people gather at the tree. "Oh, some are here now." Wen Yang, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai, Zhuge Dan, and Deng Ai were there talking to Sima Shi. "What is this about?"

"The three of us just found out Zhong Hui was making large amounts of money. We simply made him give us his shares. Here is your share Deng Ai, it's a little more since you suffered the most at his hands."

"Oh no, you mustn't worry about me. I do not deserve your generosity."

"Just take it." Sima Shi then gets one to give to Wen Yang, another one for Zhuge Dan, and another for Guo Huai. Wen Yang asks, "Master Sima Shi, how were you able to get this out him? He not the most persuasive of men."

"I said we were going to throw Mr. Pffty into Yangtze." Izuru then adds from where he was, "IT'S MR. POOFY! Why do you keep forgetting?!"

"What he said."

"...Mr. Poofy?"

"Zhong Hui has a stuffed bear."

"Oh, I knew that. I just didn't know it had a name." Guo Huai opens his case. "This is...a lot...Zhong Hui made that much money?"

"Yes. Being a "hair stylist" and a "model," I think. He has a funny thing to his voice now. He sounds...sorta homosexual..." They all get their cases and Xiahou Ba yells out, "You forgot me!"

"...Oh...Didn't see you there...Here." Shi gives a case to Xiahou Ba. Zhuge Dan offers Sima Shi his case, "No, you need that. Trust me, it will come in use to you."

"No, I found this thing inside." Zhuge Dan holds up a blinking device. Izuru gets up from where he was sitting, grabs the device, and throws it out onto incoming traffic. An explosion occurs, that made cars swerved out into the sidewalks. "What was that?!"

"Zhong Hui must have planted it in them! I didn't know he could grasped the concept of bombs so quick! Open your cases and look for one!" Everyone open their cases, all finding a device under the money, and threw them out far from them. "What about the remaining ones?" They get down to open the unclaimed cases to get the devices and threw them too into traffic. "You're not supposed to throw more into traffic! Screw it, we're out of here! Do not let the police see you!" Everyone got their cases and ran, with Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and Jia Chong carrying the extras. "What is going to happen?"

"Just run far from this place! We can't risk being caught or it will be blamed onto us!" Everyone managed to blend into the crowds and leave the crime scene. Izuru goes to stop and catch his breath. "Huff...huff...Damn...he was trying to kill or cripple them...Now where did they go?"

"Here." Izuru turns to see Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and Jia Chong in "disguises." They all wearing afros as they sat at the bench.

"...Why are you three wearing afros? I can still see you."

"Then plan B." The three get out fake moustaches. "What makes you think people will be fooled by that?!"

"I hope."

"People here are not stupid!" He stands there as multiple people walking by the sitting three, not bothering to look at them. "See? It's working."

"My ass! Who else did you call anyway?"

"I called Father and I'm sure Mother will follow him."

"What about Wang Yuanji?"

"Oh...right..."

"You forgot her?"

"...I don't remember what she was supposed to be doing..."

"Well, we won't need to worry about her. She's safe, but what about Sima Yi? If he goes to the park area, police will suspect him. Grr...if he does get caught, I might need to bail him out."

"I'm sure Father can escape them."

"He's riding a motorcycle, what if he hits something? He'll fly off of that since he's light...Oh my god, I think he's going to die!"

"How can you be so sure?"

"I don't know! But he's using a dangerous vehicle for escaping police chases! I'm going to head back, AND REMOVE THOSE UGLY DISGUISES!"

"Ok, ok. But these were working so well..."

"They do not work!" Izuru runs the back way he came and stops at only across the park. He notices something. "Excuse me, sir, do you know what happened here?"

"No, I just got here."

"How long ago?"

"How am I supposed to know? I'm not a clock."

"Well, I'll need you to come down to the station with me."

"I just said I have nothing to do with this. What am I, God?"

"Sir, resisting arrest is only making you more guilty." Izuru gets a closer look. "...Oh dear, Sima Yi is already getting questioned. And Zhang Chunhua's with him...crap..."

"Both of you, step out."

"I assure you we don't have anything with this. You're wasting your time with me."

"Oh, for Confucius' sake!" Zhang Chunhua punches the officer directly in the stomach. He falls to the ground. "What did you do?! The perverted director said that is going to land us in jail!"

"Just go!" Sima Yi steps on the pedal, zipping past by police officers. They follow him in cars. Izuru sees as they were driving off. "Oh...no...I'm going to need to grab something..." He sees a car with it's door open. "...Huff...I might need to commit some grand theft auto..." He gets into it and drives after the motorcycle. "Ok, I have to make it look like I'm minding my own business." He drives to the left, and he gets a view on the motorcycle and the five cop cars going after it between intersections. (Maintain speed...What the hell?!) He notices Sima Yi turning left, and coming towards his front. "What do you think you're doing?! This isn't Motocross! You're not going to make it if you ramp up this car!" Sima Yi drives towards Izuru. "Hold on!"

"What do you think you're doing?! You're going to hit that!" The motorcycle drives over Izuru's car hood, and flies upwards in the air. *CRACK* "AAAH! You...crushing ...my...ribs..." Zhang Chunhua was hugging Sima Yi very tightly. "I never had told you this, but I guess this is a good time since we're going to die...I lov-" They land onto the roof and were ramping across buildings. Izuru points out, "What the F**K?! How in the world did they get on the rooftops?! This isn't one of those action movies! How is Sima Yi not damaged from the impact?! That should at least hurt his "down there" part! Oh, forget it! This story isn't making any sense anymore..." He turns his car to go in the direction the cycle was going. "I thought physics only can be defied by Zhao Yun...but it seems everyone is able to as well..." The motorcycle came to the end of the rooftops, so Sima Yi decided to just keep going. "Are you stupid?! The impact is enough for you to not have children anymore!"

"What? I swear I heard wind talk..."

"You imbecile!"

"Who just called me an imbecile?!" He drives, and flies off the roof, landing perfectly on the pavement. He comes to a stop near a sidewalk. Izuru managed to stop nearby him. "...Are you okay in the nether regions?..."

"What? I feel fine."

"Your wife doesn't look fine right now..." Zhang Chunhua was incredibly pale in the face.

"Ah! What in the world happened?!"

"Your actions made her so scared to to the core she thought she was going to die."

"...I'm...never...letting...you...drive...again..."

"Can you let go of me now?" Sima Yi tries to pry of her hands on his body, but they remain on him. "...Ok...I'm stuck..."

"She's cold to the bone. You might need to calm her down."

*CRACK* "AAH! She's holding onto me really tight! I feel my ribs and spine snapping!"

"How are you even fine after all that...?"

"I don't know...but that was a rush for me. I'm getting used to this. AH!"

"She said you're NEVER driving again."

"...When she's not on it."

"Anyway, your sons have something for the two of you, follow me." Izuru gets into the stolen car and drives. Sima Yi then follows him. They got to where Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and Jia Chong were sitting at. They had still kept their "disguises" on. "Why are you three still wearing that?!"

"It was working! These guys in uniform asked us things and they left us alone."

"...Ok..."

"Um...who's that clinging onto Father...?"

"Your mother. Why didn't you recognize her?"

"She's...pale and looking scared to the bone..."

"...Yeeeeah...long story...Anyway, I should just leave this car somewhere then." Izuru drives his car to a random spot and gets out of it. "...Well, it seems you guys are doing fine, well, except her. I should leave now, I'll hail a taxi to take me home. Taxi!" A taxi parks near him, and he gets in. It drives away. "So...here's your shares. But is Mother going to be okay...?"

"She doesn't look too good...Is there medicine in this place?"

"How about this?" Sima Shi holds up Huo Tuo's ointment. (It's that item in DW that restores full health and musou.)

"...Maybe..." Sima Shi holds it near Zhang Chunhua and her color comes back.

"I feel slightly better..."

"Now can you let go of me?" She lets go of Sima Yi. "...Why do you two smell like sweat, alcohol, and shame?"

"How would you know what sweat, alcohol and shame smells like?"

"Just answer me."

"...Um...uh...Party?"

"What party? The director made you go?"

"Well...we wanted to go..."

"Explain, what happened?"

"...I can't say..."

"...Women...dancing..."

"Women? Now, Zhao, how would Yuanji feel about that?"

"...I just watched. Nothing serious..."

"And Shi, I expected you to not partake in these activities."

"I am sorry I shamed myself. So, take this case of this world's currency for the both of you." Sima Shi take two money cases and sets them into Sima Yi's and Zhang Chunhua's hands.

"Bye!" The two run off with their cases and Jia Chong ran after them with his own case. Sima Yi then comments, "I remember you said something back there. You said you love me?"

(Oh, he heard me...) "N-No I did not. I said I loathe you. Your stupid action that could have costed our lives made me hate you."

"I'm pretty sure you said "love."

"No, loathe. What makes you think I would say that?"

"Nope. You said love." He then teases with a smirk, "You love me, and yoou know it!"

"...I...would never say that! Again, I said loathe!"

"Uh-huh. Right. You said love, I can hear pretty well."

"Keep telling yourself that, but I said loathe."

Back at the strip club, Takasugi walks outside after he has dragged all of the passed out characters out. "...Ok...I'll call a taxi service and give them their addresses. I had to give the club owners 5,000 dollars for all of the services and drinks these guys got. Now...about 400 dollars should cover all of their fares. Luckily, Dong Zhou's, Xu Shu's, Lu Xun's and Cao Ren's life insurance policies paid out, and I'm able to pay for all of this without using my money." He gets his phone out to call taxi services. "Ok...Oh, hello. I need about..." He counts the people in front of him. "...about five of your taxis. These guys got so drunk they can't drive. So, yeah. I'll pay for their fares. That sound good? Ok, great. We're at this strip club, um...Girls, Girls, Girls?" He hangs up the phone. "Hwu...Damn...that was one party. Reminds me of my senior years. And that name is very uncreative... Hm?" He sees an electronic store and looks at the TV with news on. "What the-?"

"We have footage of two suspects of a bombing near a park. The police lost track of them, but here's footage of them being chased." The screen changes to the motorcycle Sima Yi was previously driving with a scared Zhang Chunhua behind him. "...Oh..come on...You just love attention, don't you? Whoa! He ramped off a car and landed on a rooftop! That is awesome! Looks like they got their fifteen minutes of fame."

"All we know is that many men were holding cases when the bombs went off. Here is footage of more possible suspects." The screen changes to the explosions, and at the very corners of the video, Wen Yang, Guo Huai, Zhuge Dan, Deng Ai, and Xiahou Ba were running in multiple directions. "Oh...what in the world...?"

"We got some more footage, but it's more hazy." The screen changes to a very blurred video, but you can make out the figures to be Sima Zhao, Sima Shi, and Jia Chong.

"...Is the whole damn Jin kingdom wanted?! God, it's a pain..." Taxis drive hear the club and honks. "Oh! Hey, here is their address, just drop them there." He does this for the four taxis. The drivers then helped Takasugi load the the guys into the taxis. They all drive away. "...Now I need one...Ah, I can walk..." He walks for a while on the sidewalk. "...Hm...it's still early...I'll just walk and look at the sights." Meanwhile, Lian Shi and Sun Shang Xiang were sitting at the place they were staying at and watching television. "What's with this red and white stuff? What is Valentine's Day?"

"It looks like a tradition in this world."

"Can we change this to Xena: The Warrior Princess? It's more entertaining."

"Alright." She gets the remote to change the channel. "Oh, do you know where Sun Quan went?"

"He got picked up by Father and Brother, and they went somewhere. I heard Ce say a party."

"I hope they're enjoying themselves." Outside of the building, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, and Lu Su were lying face down on the pavement. Sima Shi and Sima Zhao go around the streets of downtown. Sima Zhao asks, "Jia Chong's fine if we just let him walk without us?"

"Of course, he's more responsible unlike you."

"That was uncalled for. Honestly, how are we supposed to use this money? Both of us have a million, and people may try to rob us."

"Just take some out for simple use. Look, a bookstore." Sima Shi goes into a bookstore with mangas inside. "Really? Books?"

"These books are not just writing, they have pictures." he gets a random book. "Ravages of Time...Sounds interesting..." Shi reads for a bit and comes to a stop to a young man. "He looks familiar...Zhao, take a look."

"What? Yeah..he does..."

"He looks like you...He does your lazy pose when sitting on a chair." Shi reads a little more. "..Sima...? They have these books on us?"

"Cool! Who's in this? Me? You?"

"...Zhongda...Where have I heard that before...?"

"...Isn't that Father's style name...?" The two paused for a moment. Sima Zhao breaks the silence,"You've gotta buy that. I want to show Father on how he has such a baby face here...hahah!"

"Quiet. This is a bookstore. But...it's funny how Father acts like you. I'll read more...Well, I'm done."

"Can I buy it?"

"You can do as you like." Sima Shi leaves the store to wait for Sima Zhao. After ten minutes, Sima Zhao comes out with a bag of mangas. "Why did you buy more than that...?"

"These are just so interesting..."

"Mm-hm." He walks, and when he turns, Sima Zhao already has another item bought. "What is that?"

"The guy said it was a guitar. An "electric" one."

"If you keep on spending money so freely, you'll use it all by the time we get home."

"Alright, alright. Let me read this book that has "Father" in it." They both sit on a bench. "Mm-hm...more blood...violent stuff...WE HAVE ASSASSINS?!"

"No, we don't."

"But this has us having assassins! And this guy is Zhao Yun! Zhao Yun is one of our assassins!"

"That is complete fiction. We don't have assassins. And we're not even born yet if "Father" looks that young."

"I'm so showing this to Father!"

"Mm-hm."

"I've heard a way to make money in this world is to be a good singer. I thought...maybe we can start something like that...?"

"What?"

"Come on. I know you can sing. I can sing. Yuanji and Jia Chong can sing. We've already got that thing down! Just write a song and we'll won't need to work for a while!"

"...Zhao...you can try that...but I'm not simply-"

"Come on! We're pretty and we can sing. I've heard those kinds of people get rich instantly!"

"Hu...Fine..I'll go along with this, but if it fails, you owe me."

"Yeah, got it." Wang Yuanji was at home. "..Ha..ha..Ah-choo! Huh? How long are they out at that party? I should go out myself." She gets up from her seat to go out the door. Back at where Sima Zhao and Sima Shi were sitting, Sima Zhao continues to read more of the Ravages of Time."How long have been reading that?"

"This is just so interesting...It's boring...but yet I want to read more..."

"Hm...It makes me wonder what Father was like when he was younger."

"Business man? He's a business man here. I've never seen him do business."

"Hmph. What else does he do in that?"

"More business stuff. Then he does other things I don't even understand...What is the point? He's the head of the family, secretly leading assassins and more business stuff! I think I've seen him only once predicting outcomes for battles."

"Why are you still reading?"

"Again, it's boring, but I want to keep reading for some reason..." The Jin characters that separated back at the park are walking downtown. Wen Yang, Zhuge Dan, and Xiahou Ba managed to get together as well Deng Ai and Guo Huai. "What can we do?" Deng Ai shrugs. It was the same thing with Wen Yang, Zhuge Dan, and Xiahou Ba. "We have this money, but I don't know what you can do..."

"Hmm..."At the apartment complex that had Cao pi and Zhen Ji in one space, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Xiahou Yuan in another, Cai Wenji and Wang Yi shared another one, and Yue Jin, Li Dian, and Dian Wei had another space. The other rooms were for Xiahou Dun, Pang De, and Zhang He, but they were out. The taxi drives up to that, and drops Pang De and Xiahou Dun face-down in front of the building. Jiang Wei was living in another apartment complex near them. "Huh. Those two have been out for a long time..." Outside of that building, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were facing down on the pavement. Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Jia Xiu were in front of their apartment, lying down in random positions since the taxi driver just left them like that. Cao Pi and Zhen Ji were walking and noticed them. "What did they do this time?"

"They reek of alcohol, sweat, and shame."

"Indeed."

"...Ngh...more...more..."

"Looks like Father has got pretty drunk. Help me drag him and his buddies into their home. We can't just leave them here of course." The two get the drunk bodies into the apartment. Guo Jia drunkenly sees Zhen Ji and comments,"Whoa...nice boobs...How much?" Zhen Ji slaps him. "How dare you!" They threw them all on that one couch inside and left. Han Dang and Huang Gai walk outside, and they see a passed-out Sun Jian outside their building. They run to him. "What happened?"

"He reeks of alcohol and shame."

"Drinking? We have to take him back in." They hold up Sun Jian and walked into the apartment with him. Zhong Hui was at his fancy-ass mansion with servants and he thinks of plans. "Hm...They didn't get hurt by those devices. They figured it out and threw then out. I should try something else so they won't reach my level of fame and glory. If I mess up their face, it's over. Yes..." He sips a martini and spits it out. "Phht! What the hell is this?" The servant says, "This is a drink mixed with tequila and lime. If-"

"Well, I don't like it. Get me something else."

"Right away, sir."

"Now where was I...?" Izuru gets home, and gives the taxi driver the fare. "...Ha...I want to sleep..." He gets to the porch and Miyako jumps him by surprise. "Hello again!"

"Oh god, you...Get off me!" He pushes Miyako off him. She clings onto his leg. He hits her off. "Didn't I say to not to follow me again?! Jamming foreign objects up your behind seemed to not send the message."

"Yes! Hit me again!"

"What? You WANT to be hit? Hmph, fine by me." He kicks her about five times. "This is a nice stress reliever."

"Yes, hit me more! I've been a bad girl!"

"Ok...this is just disgusting...What the hell happened to you?"

"Shut up and smack me!"

"Ugh...no...It's no longer fun if the person enjoys it...I'm going back inside, and-WHAT THE F***?! GET OFF ME!"

"What about we get into-"

"NO! NO! I am repulsed by you, and I'm SO NOT GETTING IN BED WITH YOU! Let me say again...I DO NOT LIKE NOR WANT ANY SEXUAL ACTIVITIES WITH YOU! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?! AND I REALLY NEED THE POINT OF VIEWS TO BE WITH DW CHARACTERS AND NOT ME! THIS IS ABOUT THEM, NOT ME. GOT THAT?! I need as little screen time as possible. If you want that stuff, go to Sima Yi! (Let Zhang Chunhua kill you.) At least the camera is not onto me like glue! Or maybe any other guy that is evil." Miyako just stands there, staring at Izuru. "Oh...you want some space..."

"THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT! God, you're making women everywhere ashamed of themselves! This is getting comical, you're a stalker, aren't you?"

"That's not what I prefer to be called..."

"Nope. You're a stalker. And me? Getting one? That is like getting Shinpachi Otsu as his stalker. It's never going to happen! I'm going." When he turned, he immediately notices Miyako attempting to hit him with a potted plant, but dodges. he grabs the pot and hits her instead. "Man, I'm looking like a misogynist right now..."

"A masochist?"

"MISOGYNIST! Why are you suddenly chasing after me? This is turning more silly than scary."

"You make me feel alive. Now smack me!"

"NO!" Miyako jumps, but gets kicked in the face by Izuru. "I said no!" Izuru swiftly runs off the porch and runs very far away from her until he reached the city and downtown area. "Thank god I did track and field..." He stops to catch his breath. "...Huff...huff...I thought I could just go home...but this?! Why are you doing this to me...? Just when my troubles are over...SHE pops up!" A voice is heard behind him. "I thought you were going to go home."

"I wish...but it seems I have to stay out for now...And...who's that?" He turns to see Jia Chong. "Oh, where's Shi and Zhao?"

"I decided to go off by myself. Since you're here, what's this Valentine's Day? I see nothing but red and white everywhere."

"Hu...It's a day when people get all lovey-dovey with their mates and give each other gifts and stuff. I was never into it. One time I celebrated it at a shooting range because the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre happened on that day and I prefered that over lovey stuff."

"Hm? So, Sima Zhao would have to get Wang Yuanji a gift? Like that?"

"Well...if you want to participate in these things, that is the drill. But I'm sure you'd hate to do this."

"I see. I need more nail polish..."

"THAT'S why you're walking around here for? You can just walk in a random salon place and get five hundred bottles if you need to."

"Can I...?"

"Yes. That money is yours to use, remember? Need some white powder while you're at it?"

"This isn't make-up..."

"Oh...You just don't go out a lot, huh? Or anemic?"

"I'm not anemic. What can you tell me on these "salon" places?"

"Just go to a place with nail polish bottles inside..."

"Then I shall go to that. Farewell."

"Ok..." He walks, and sits at a bench. "What can I do now...? I don't want to be bothered by some random love crap...Hey, cutaway now." The camera still points at him. "What? Do you want to bore the audience of me just sitting? Hurry and switch to someone interesting or someone doing something!" Well, actually, Sima Yi is over there along with Zhang Chunhua. What's the point of switching?

"Then MOVE the camera over THERE."

Fine. The view moves towards the two's direction. "You said love. Don't be so bashful about that."

"Again, I said loathe. Besides, you would be creeped out even if I did say love."

"You two were honestly still arguing about that?! What is the big deal about that?!"

"You heard me say loathe, right?"

"Well...um...I didn't hear..." (Oh yeah, you did say it. The line had lov-. That is so not loathe.)

"I'm not going senile, I know you said love."

"And why are you making a case out of this?"

"Well...I really have nothing to do...so childish arguing was on my list."

"If you're that bored, the money you're carrying will help. Anything is possible as long as you have money seems to be the motto these days."

"Like what?"

"Based on you...Reading...um...what else? Top hat shopping?"

"Again with the hat jokes..."

"Look, all I got is reading. I have NO IDEA what do you do on your spare time. I doubt you'll do any of the modern things."

"What modern things?"

"I don't know, movies, video games, music...You're like a grandpa even though you keep a young face."

"You just like including all possible insulting things to me..."

"You are very easy to insult. Need some condoms?"

"What are condoms?"

"Knmph...you don't know what are condoms...hmkh-hm..."

"I HAVE SOME!" Miyako was behind the bench Izuru was sitting at. "What the-? GET THE F*** OUT!"

"Isn't that...?"

"Yeah, it is. But she going away now." Izuru takes a trashcan and throws it at the woman he does not want following him. "Now what were you saying?"

"What are these "condoms?"

"Nooothiiing. You'll find out...Anyway,l...you two are old...What old people do these days-OOF!" He gets two mailboxes to his face. When Miyako got up, the mailboxes bounced off Izuru and hits her, making fall back down again."Yes, yes...I get it...Well...Grr...you two are the most hard for coming up with things to do! I'm Sima Yi's animator part-time because his actual animator is lazy as hell(He even messed up your face one time...but I do not want to remember..), and I don't even know your possible hobbies. First of all...can you get some new clothes? You can't spend a whole month wearing that! ...Do you even shower?"

"Of course I bathe myself! Why would you think that I wouldn't? Clearly, you're not sticking the camera in the bathroom when I'm doing it!"

"Now...fangirls would pay for that..."

"Don't you think about that! You're not really helping here..."

"Just get new clothes you think you would be comfortable in. You both have..." He whispers. "...a million total...Careful...don't show it off so freely or else people will take advantage of you...And some will possibly kill you for that...Just be careful."

"Mm-hm." Sima Yi walks away, and a car crashes by the wall, right between Zhang Chunhua and him. "AAAAAAH! I think Sima Yi died! That car must have crushed him!" Sima Yi comes out from behind the car, unscathed. "What are you yelling about?"

"Oh...A FRICKIN' CAR JUST CRASHED RIGHT BEHIND YOU! How are you calm?!"

"I was walking, and that thing came right behind me."

"...What about you?! The car came right in front of you!"

"I stopped when I saw the thing come towards here."

(Damn...you're lucky...) "I-I...how..?" The two simply ignored the wrecked car and walked away from there. "...Damn...nerves of steel..." As those two walked off, they see some police officers. "We can't get seen...hmm..." Zhang Chunhua looks at a bench nearby. "...Come here..."

"Why?"

"Just come here." They sit on the bench."They're going to look here, pretend we're...kissing..."

"...Are you sure you don't have another plan? We can just slowly walk away from, acting innocently."

"After that stunt you pulled, I'm sure they'll recognize you if you tried to walk past them."

"What about you hitting the person with authority? They also know your face."

"And then I spent the whole time burying my face into your back. They probably have hazy memories."

"You were scared, weren't you? Thus spurring your outburst saying you love me."

"I am not starting that up again! You must of heard someone else say love, but for me loathe."

"Mm-hm. Sure." The police officers were about to turn around to go back. "They're going to look. Come here." She pulls Sima Yi very close to her face. "You know...we can just make it more realistic..."

"W-What are you talking abo-Mmph!" The officers walk by them casually. The two then separate and get up from the bench. "Now, shall we go?"

"Y-Yes..." They walked for a while and as they were walking, a commotion was happening at one of the stores nearby. A shopkeeper kicks out Sima Zhao out of his store. "You are a disgusting pig!"

"I thought those were bathrooms!" The two immediately turned away from that and walked in another direction. "...Do we know him...?"

"Just keep walking...We do not know him..." At that school the characters were working in, the principal looks on his computer. "Hmm...I should look into their background a little better..." He searches Sima Yi and finds links to biographies of him. "...I expected a Facebook page...There are lots of pictures of him. What is he wearing? Is he a cosplayer?" He searches Zhuge Liang. "Look at that hair...He carries a fan?" He searches Zhang Chunhua. "She's pretty. But what's with the dress? It looks like if you tore off certain parts and gave her that..." He then searches Sun Jian, Huang Gai, and Huang Gai. "What's with them in full armor? What military force uses that armor? The Chinese army? I'm sure they hadn't used it since...I don't know 2000 years ago? Did all of these guys used to be in a cosplayer club or something? I'm going to ask them when they get back here." Sima Yi sits on a bench, waiting for Zhang Chunhua to get new clothing for herself. "What is taking so long?" After fifteen minutes, Zhang Chunhua comes back with fives bags. "What are in those...?"

"After I got new clothing, I came across these men playing games with money. I joined...then...I got all this money..."

"How do you NOT know how you obtained money? So all of those bags are money?"

"This one bag is your new suit and some of my clothing. These four are money."

"...This is a lot..."

"You're carrying them. I'll take the cases."

"...Alright..." Some random guys run out from an alley. "Hey! That lady cheated me and I lost 250,000 dollars!"

"Who's that...?"

"Run." She runs away, holding the cases. Sima Yi runs with the five bags on him, surprisingly able to keep up. "Who are they?"

"Remember when I said I played this game with them...? I might have cheated in the game..."

"MIGHT have? What exactly did you do?"

*Flashback to thirty minutes ago*

Zhang Chunhua comes out of a random store and sees an illegal games going on in an alley. She walks in, and is approached by a creep, you can say. "Heey, hot stuff. What's-" She hits him and he falls down. For a while, she watches the games and manages to learn them. She sees a deck of cards unmanned and takes them. She plays a game herself. The dealer looks at her and says,"What's a pretty lady like you doing here? This isn't a-"

"Just deal."

"Alright." He gives her two cards. (A two and a four. Let me switch some around.) Zhang Chunhua slips a queen and an ace when the dealer was not looking. "What now? Hit or stay?"

"Stay." She then reveals her cards. "Blackjack."

"Wow, beginner's luck. Here's your payout." She gets a stack of dollar bills. (This seems easy...) For the rest of the games, she cheats with her switching her cards with the one she found and carried.

*Flashback end*

"That's not going to be pleasing to the men you cheated..."

"I didn't know they would find out despite how discreet I took my cards out. I even made the sets I got different from the last ones."

"Well right now, we have to get those guys off us." They very quickly run into an alley when they turned a corner and the gambling men kept on going, ignoring the alley. "We should be okay..." A hand taps his shoulder. "AAAAAHHHH!"

"Gee, you sound girly and guyly at the same time..." Sima Yi turns to see Takasugi standing over him. "Why are you two sitting next to a dumpster?"

"Why are YOU here?"

"I must have wandered off without knowing where I was going since I was still drunk on the alcohol. I woke up in that dumpster when I heard you. What's with the bags and cases?" He takes a case and looks inside. "WHAT?! HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THIS MUCH CASH?! I mean...I have bad luck when it came to casinos..."

"Shi, Zhao, and Jia Chong made Zhong Hui give everyone in Jin this case."

"So Zhong Hui's rich...?" (Note to self: Go to him and snatch anything bag-like or expansive. Forget that! Rob his house!)"What is with the bags?"

"I...got some money from...men that were playing games with it...One is just clothes."

"Gambling? How much?"

"About 250,000..."

"What?! I can barely get three slots to match up on a machine! How in the world you get 250,000 from gambling?"

"Well...I cheated..."

"Oh, that's why. Why are you two here anyway?"

"These men chased us after they found out I cheated."

"...Illegal gambling rings...You're gonna need a new face...You can buy a car with that money! Or a better-looking house! I'm sure you don't enjoy being cramped up in that apartment, do ya?"

"Well...I've gotten used to it...No one is there except the two of us."

"You can get a fancy-ass boat! A car! Anything you desire with all of that!"

"How do you even purchase such things here? Just give the money to them?"

"Well...there's paperwork."

"No. I'm not doing more paperwork. I already do a lot back home."

"Ok...How about let me take care of that? But right now...you might need to conceal the top of those bags. You do not want random guys to rob you."

When they got out of the alley, Takasugi asks them, "Can I get some cash to get something?"

"Sure, it will lighten the load off us." Takasugi already took a few stacks and ran off to a GameStop. "...What is he doing?" After few minutes, Takasugi walks out of the store with a box. "What is that?"

"A PS4."

"...What is it...?"

"A device for entertainment purposes. I want one, so I went to get it."

"How much was it?"

"500 dollars."

"That doesn't really lighten it..."

"You want me to spend more?"

"Well, no."

"I can tell you this...Get some diamonds. With pure gold. Those will really lighten your load."

"I don't wear jewelry."

"Ahem... Why do you think I'm suggesting this?" He makes a subtle pointing action to Zhang Chunhua. "...After all...Women like diamonds..."

"I can hear you and I can see you pointing at me..."

"What? I'm just saying he can get you a fancy-ass necklace. Since you two already wear rings. On the middle finger too. Are those wedding rings?"

"No. I just wear them."

"...Really? I assumed...Oh, well. I can tell you how to earn more cash."

"How about when we take the money back home? I do not want to carry more bags."

"Alright then." He reaches his hand out to grab another stack of money but his hand get slapped away. "Ok, ok. Let me take this..." He picks up the PS4 box and walks off. "...Where did you leave the vehicle?"

"...Um...Back at the...strange-looking statue in front of a giant building?"

"You mean that dragon?"

"Dragon? I thought it was a turd because it was coiled up..."

"...Really...?"

Starbucks

Ling Tong was working a espresso machine. "Hey, I can't turn on the machine." Gan Ning teases him, "You can't do that with women now! Hahahaha!"

"Haha. But seriously, help me out with this." Gan Ning messes with a few buttons and the machine shot out steam with Ling Tong's crotch being a little too close to it. "AH! Ah! I think that just burned my..."

"Well...Now we can call you a girl officially."

"I can't feel what's down there..."

"It's still there...maybe..."

"Yeah...it's still there..." Lu Meng comes from behind the storage room. "What are you two doing?"

"Ling Tong burned his d***."

"It's only a scratch!"

"You screamed like a girl when that happened. I was right there."

"You two get back to work! And it seems you fixed the machine."

"How do you even use this...? Put that stuff in that and you get that funny drink?"

"Argh...let me show you...again..."

Sima Zhao was walking with Sima Shi and he was giving him ideas on what songs they can write. "What about this?"

"...What are you trying to say with this? Wake up my soul?"

"Let me see you try!"

"Fine." Shi takes the notepad and writes a few lines. He gives it back to Zhao. "...Heaven's Will?"

"What? It has meaning compared to yours."

"Fine, I'll run it by Jia Chong and Yuanji."

"Are you sure they will even want to become part of this?"

"I'll try convincing them...I can say more money."

"They don't care about money."

"Well, that's out."

Cao Cao back at his apartment wakes up on the couch with Guo Jia and Jia Xiu lying on top of him. "Get...off...me..." He lets them slide off the couch and he gets up. "Wow...what a party..."

KNOCK KNOCK Are you up yet?

"Yes..." He goes up to the door to open it and it was Xiahou Dun, also looking groggy. "...Did you remember what happened?"

"No...I was drinking and had this woman on me...than I woke up here..."

"That didn't really cover all of what you did...but...Need some fresh air? Pang De and I are outside since we woke up outside. The driver didn't bother to even leave us at the door..."

"Alright, these two can come out when they wake up." When they got outside, they see Cao Pi and Zhen Ji walking ahead of them. "Hey! Where are you going, Pi?"

"I wanted to see what's out here and how do the future worked, Zhen wanted to come as well, so she's following me."

"Can you bring me back something?"

"...Maybe..." (Do I look like your mom?)

"Alright, bye."

This is going WAY too slow, so we'll skip a few hours ahead and it's sunset.

Jia Chong has his bag of nail polish bottles and his case. He walks around to look for Sima Shi and Sima Zhao. "Hey!"

"Oh, there you two are. Shall we go back?"

"What do you think of these lyrics?"

"You want to start a band...? I have no-"

"I already know you sing, remember you had that song?"

"Ok, maybe that one time..."

"Come on. I got you something." Sima Zhao takes out a bag of oranges and Jia Chong looks at it weirdly. "...Oranges...?"

"I heard you like oranges. You like to drink the juices of it."

"...Gee, thanks..." Wang Yuanji walks around, and spots the three at a fountain. She goes over to them. "Where did you three go?"

(Oh crap! I need to come up with something fast!) "Um...a party?"

"What kind of party lasts almost the whole day?"

"A fun one!"

"Well...we have to go home, what is with the cases?"

"Oh! I forgot to give you yours." Sima Zhao gets the last unclaimed case and gives it to her. She opens it, "Where did you get all this?"

"Zhong Hui. We made him share since he owed us a lot...so..."

"That doesn't mean to extort him, or anyone for that matter."

"But he rebelled and everything went to hell after that."

"It was him and a lot more factors. Anyway...-"

"Before you say anything else, I got you something to make up for what happened." Sima Zhao pulls out a bouquet of flowers to give to Wang Yuanji. "Here."

"W-What? You'd normally would just...um..." She takes the bouquet and blushes. (Whew. It worked! Now I can't bring this song thing or else she'll just yell at me more...) "Now let's go."

Izuru notices the sunset and thinks,(I can maybe go back now...) Izuru walks back home and checks his porch. "Ok, it's safe." He goes inside, and looks around to check for her. When he walks in, someone goes behind him and he turns to taser that person. The person falls. "Gagag...gaga!"

"Aw man! Why didn't I use the gun?! Then it will be over for me! Argh..." He kicks the woman into the sidewalk and goes back inside. He sits on the couch to watch TV. "Let's see what's on." The television turns on to a new show. "Hm? It's Wen Yang, Zhuge Dan, a tall Xiahou Ba, Deng Ai, and Guo Huai. What are they doing? Why is Xiahou Ba so tall now...?!"

"Meet the Phoenixes. They start up dying businesses again with their own money if they show potential."

"Isn't this Shark Tank...? And the name is ironic since they are from a kingdom that has a KIRIN and not WEI. "

"They all expanded their businesses by buying lots of stock, and that paid off for them. Now they are millionaires and they plan to spread their empires by buying dying businesses and start them up again if they show potential. They'll even fight for a piece of new business that comes up."

"This...I don't even..." The program shows the characters at what their business is and how much they are worth.

Xiahou Ba: Invented a drink that puts milk to shame called, "Gro-x." He is now worth 2.5 million dollars by today.

Zhuge Dan: Manager of many wrestlers and is a talent agent. Owns many stadiums and many of his wrestlers always win. Worth 3 million dollars.

Wen Yang: Owns multiple businesses and bought out Mark Cuban. He is now the owner of the Dallas Mavericks. Worth 4.5 million by today.

Deng Ai: Bought multiple shares and is worth 6.8 million dollars. He bought Google in their Maps department and is in charge of designing the maps now.

Guo Huai: Created an all-disease-curing tonic that cures the worst of diseases. He bought out many medical companies like Nyquil and Robotussin. Worth 7 million by today.

"This isn't making sense anymore...Really...? I'm...I'm just going to bed early..." He switches the television off.


I was writing this around Valentine's Day, so that's when I added some tiny romance things. Now it's already past that by I don't know, four days?

Ravages of Time is a manhua or "Chinese manga" on the Three Kingdoms. It centers around a young Sima Yi and the normal ROTK stuff happens as usual except with some assassins. If you like ROTK and do not want to read that long ass book and want to read manga, Ravages of Time might be good for you.

Heaven's Will and Wake Up My Soul were Sima Shi's and Sima Zhao's image songs. Heaven's Will was from DW7 and Wake up my soul was DW8.

Shark Tank is a show where the rich guys and ladies listen to presentations on these inventions and ideas and if they like it, they'll make a deal with them, and they will fight for a piece for that company or business.

I was really running out of ideas with the Jin guys being "sharks." This story is getting more ridiculous by the chapter.
