Ultimate ThreeKingdoms Parody by Adrasteia Rebirth
Chapter VI
His flight was delayed.
It had been originally set at 9 o'clock in the morning, but some rotten technical problem occurred which made the whole flight reset to 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The 5 hour delay left Lu Xun waiting restlessly in the waiting area. He didn't feel like buying anything from the shops only a couple of meters away from him- they were rather expensive of course, being located in the airport.
He had tried reading his novel- but his mind seemed to be unable to concentrate. What now? Boredom. Pretty abstract paintings hung from the white walls. A sour-looking Cantonese businessman on the left corner of the room. A Russian lady with a crying baby 2 rows away from him. Two talkative middle aged women rattled on and on in a language that he couldn't quite place; some sort of southeast-Asian language but he wasn't sure which. Possibly Malay.
Being rather tired of his recent state of inactivity, he took out his portable video phone and dialed.
"Wai?"
A young Asian man with delicate features appeared on the screen. Pony- tailed silky hair, white loose buttoned-up shirt that was a bit open on the top, long white fingers fingering a set of wooden chopsticks. Ah, Zhang He. Pretty boy number two.
"Hello Zhang He, long time no see."
Zhang He casually glanced at him but didn't hold his gaze too long. He resumed picking at his cup of Hainanese chicken rice and at the cold-cut chicken that came along with it.
Lu Xun surveyed the backdrop that Zhang He was in. Crowded tables of people with several different types of dishes laid before them, prominently Chinese dishes. Waiters were taking orders in Mandarin, but some were talking to some American tourists- which didn't seem to comprehend what they were saying because of their thick accents. Lu Xun also overhead a mother chiding her child in what he could only decide was the Hokkien dialect; but he didn't understand what she said since his northern native dialect was completely different from these southern tongues. He stared hard at the wide window behind the diners. What immediately caught his attention were the tall skyscrapers, and the 2 different street signs along one road. Judging from all of these things, Zhang He was back at his home country –Singapore.
"What is it that you want?" Zhang He questioned, his tone the usual non-chalant monotone and his eyes tinted with gray disinterest.
Lu Xun attempted to smile warmly, but what came out was a mischievous smirk instead. He often pondered if the DW3 character designs were somewhat even based on their modern reincarnated counterparts. Zhang He hadn't been a pretty boy before, but in this lifetime- a pretty boy indeed; although he wasn't has effeminate as he was portrayed in the DW3 video game. What happened? Before, he was some cocky high-tempered jackass (perhaps some unpretty version of Gong Jin), but now he's this silent pretty boy that seemed that he didn't give a crap about anything. Seemed. Lu Xun smirked once again as his thoughts placed emphasis on that word. Zhang He has finally learned from his other lifetime, eh? Finally, he sees that patience and having this mask of non-chalance pays off. He has become more mysterious… but he definitely has a plan being plotted out in his mind. But what does he really care about anyway?
"Aw nothing, just checking up on you," Lu Xun replied, with the smirk still on his face. He attempted to take it off and appear less… villainous but the smirk seemed frozen immobile so he gave up and it remained there.
Zhang He grunted in response, while picking at his rice again.
After what seemed like several hours of being ignored, Lu Xun asked, "So are you still going to send me that five hundred?" with the irremovable smirk still on his face.
Zhang He grunted in response again, then drank his cup of Japanese Green Tea.
"It's in American dollars, right?"
For the first time, Zhang He finally seemed to be affected by his words. "I thought it was in Sing dollars."
The smirking villain replied, "Of course not, why should I settle for lower currencies?"
The Singaporean gave him a cold glare with his narrow black eyes. Lu Xun wondered about his irises once more… wasn't the darkest colour supposed to be dark brown, not black? But Zhang He's pupils were unidentifiable in the black depths of his eyes. He felt himself shudder a bit, although he didn't let it show clearly.
"Blackmail is the lowest form of human integrity," the man said matter-of-factly between his sips of tea.
"Screw integrity."
"I pity you."
"You're still the one videotaped."
Zhang He's façade of cold neutrality diminished shortly in order to reveal his distasteful scowl.
Lu Xun still couldn't help but smirk continuously throughout the conversation.
"Oh very well," Zhang he said while putting his tea cup down. "I guess we might have to lower down the dollars since of our misunderstandings of the currency. I cannot pay five hundred American dollars… just for one video tape."
"Five hundred American, my last offer. Want it or not?"
Zhang He glared at him but then concluded, "Fine then. I'll take it."
"Send it in 3 weeks time."
"Fine." Zhang He gave him an intense version of the evil eye then hung up.
Lu Xun was quite relieved that that was settled and that he earned his extra 500… he had never known that hidden cameras were so useful these days. And Adrasteia's existence had some good points too; everyone tries to hide away anything that might hint yaoi away from her. Lu Xun smiled. Adrasteia trying to pair up Zhou Yu and Zhang He had definitely been hilarious. What's even more interesting that they were stuck in odd situations… and it was all videotaped without Adrasteia knowing it.
Lu Xun smirked.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
The videophone rang
A face similar to Lu Xun's immediately popped up on the screen- although it didn't seem like him though… much too enthusiastic. If that really was Lu Xun- then something major had happened. Zhou Yu couldn't recall a time that Lu Xun had been this hyper. He hadn't shown much excitement when Zhou Yu got reunited with the RTK generals group.
"Zhou Yu!!! I have big news!!" How odd. Lu Xun was now speaking in English- he rarely did that though. Plus he dropped all the "-sama" titles now and such.
Lu Xun has now been acting so out of character that Gong Jin couldn't help but ask in Japanese ", Little brother, are you ok? I can't see you nor hear you that well. The phone has more static than usual and the video monitor has bad quality today."
The person at the other end of the line waved it off. "I'm ok I'm ok! May I please request that you let me in? I'm right outside your condominium." Proof of that statement was shown when several knocks were heard from the door.
Gong Jin raised an eyebrow. Let in…? But what would Lu Xun want from him anyway? Although Lu Xun had definitely been one of his more trusted men… aw heck, go with it. "Okay then."
Zhou Yu walked across the room to the door and opened it. But since now that he got a life-size close-up version of Lu Xun, he could see that he's definitely not normal. His dyed artificial blonde-white hair seemed too fluffy… like it was a wig and he shrank about five inches. And that face… so different but yet so familiar…
After a split-second inspection, Zhou Yu finally arrived at the conclusion that it was Adrasteia.
He tried to slam the door as fast as he could, but Adrasteia managed to stick in a golf club before he could close it. He saw her give a slight smirk and motioned him to give up and just open the door. What? Defeat? This early? To this girl? Of course not!! Zhou Yu continued slamming the door shut- the golf club interrupted this at first before it broke. After that- he locked the door and picked up the other end of the broken golf club- he'd have to use it like a bat if he had to.
A wail could be overheard from the other side of the door.
"Are you crazy?!?! That's my brother's golf club!! He's gonna kill me if he notices!! Of course he'd notice! Of course he will!! Gong Jin, this is all your fault!!!" Adrasteia's aggravated complaints could be heard echoing off the hallway- even booming through the sound proof walls. She ranted some more and more and more. She even repeatedly wailed, "Let me in!!"
Let her in? That crazed yaoi-obsessed pervert that always tried to pair him up with another guy?!? I already have a wife damnit!! I don't want her to think that I'm cheating on her with a GUY.
After perhaps several minutes (although it seemed like hours), everything faded into silence. But it wasn't a calm silence- it was a strained silence as if something would erupt soon. Zhou Yu peeked out of the peeking hole in the door. Adrasteia was on the floor- broken and defeated. Thank god for these metal doors.
Before he was even aware of it- there was this sudden explosion and debris of wood and metal parts flew across the room. Gong Jin raised his arms to shield himself from the dust and all.
There was a cough, a hack, and a gray annoyed face.
Adrasteia.

Note from author: Aye. Sorry for not writing for so long . Too much evil homework… and much procrastinating along with it… MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. More fics would pop up soon. Any comments? XD
