Ultimate ThreeKingdoms Parody by Adrasteia Rebirth
Chapter VIII
The liquid mass of darkness surrounding him rippled as he waded through the inky blackness. There was nothing but that darkness. No land, no surface for everything was just that liquid blackness.
Air was not something his lungs craved for. Breathing was unnecessary. Instead, he felt an urge to go somewhere. The more thicker substance of the darkness gathered behind him, lightly pushing his back towards more never ending darkness like a parent looking over a child taking it's first few steps.
Though the darkness gave him direction in motion, he still felt lost and confused. There was no guiding light, only the current behind him.
Go. The darkness whispered in encouragement. Go. Go. Go.
Everything was slow since movement was slower in water. He observed how slowly his hand waved to part off the darkness, yet to just reveal more darkness. He calmly observed the little wisps of even darker inkiness dart from here to there like little fish.
Wisps of the darkest black and dark gray flowed around him. It was all the same, gray and black until he caught that wisp of white.
It was gone in a blink of an eye.
He threw himself against the darkness and began frantically ripping it to find that same white wisp. He knew what it was. No, who it is.
Sun Ce.
He ripped, tore, and slashed away at the darkness in front of him. "BROTHER!!" he screamed – but the deep waters muffled his voice but yet it echoed through inexistent walls.
"BROTHER!" he shrieked again. No, NO!! They had been separated long enough- he can't just disappear like that!!! That would never happen!! He would never let that happen once more….
He pounded his curled up fists against the waters. He held his fist so tightly that he could see crimson streaks float side by side with those gray and black wisps now. Perhaps tears flowed out of his eyes, it was impossible to tell since he was surrounded by the dark liquid- making everything unidentifiable. He pounded and pounded, panic clawing it's fingernails deep into him until his fists poured out tails of more crimson.
He stopped pounding because he knew it didn't make a difference. But how can he just give up? He desperately wanted to be united with Sun Ce once again. Life had a void with no known depth. He lived because he had to. But it's all so meaningless. One random memorable shallow pleasure after another, with the deep everlasting loneliness and sadness that filled in the gaps. It had always been like that. His life was meaningless. Sun Ce had been his guide- the leader that he followed. The leader that made his life worth living. But he died so soon, so soon. He sobbed uncontrollably- his body shaking with every emotion that he experienced.
No… He whispered. Don't leave me. Don't…. His fists uncurled to reveal crippled bloody exhausted fingers. More tails of blood followed his hand's movements.
Please… brother…
Then he felt a presence beside him. He turned around and saw the white wisp- which actually looked like Sun Ce during his younger healthier years. Sun Ce smiled at him like some sort of guardian angel.
He looked straight at Sun Ce in disbelief. You had come… brother?
The Sun Ce just tilted his head to one side and smiled kindly. Sun Ce lifted a delicate finger up and brushed a tear away off his cheek, even though the action was more of one of affection than having the usual purpose of the action itself.
He smiled weakly at Sun Ce. How humane he has.
"Will you take me with you?" he whispered to the one bathed in that holy white light.
Sun Ce continued smiling, not saying anything. His smile became more sympathetic… then slightly apologetic.
No. Please, no. Take me with you.
Sun Ce turned around slowly as if he was going to float away once more.
NO!!! PLEASE!! DON'T!!! Don't leave me again-
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
Glass cracked.
Zhou Yu was jolted awake from his dream. Was it a dream, really? Maybe it was a vision? He still couldn't get himself into the present- where Sun Ce wasn't in it.
"… Sun Ce," he whispered.
Another crack of class followed the previous one- which succeeded in making Zhou Yu's eyes open wide awake. He was in the living room lying on the sofa, ah. He turned his gaze around to the direction of the kitchen- where several shards of glass were scattered on the floor.
Gong Jin groaned. That damned Adrasteia.
Before he knew it, she ran frantically towards his direction then plopped herself on the sofa that he was lying down in.
She beamed with the usual hyperactivity, even considering that it was approximately 2:05 in the morning right now as the digital clock on the table claimed.
"What do you want?" he mumbled sleepily.
"I heard you say Sun Ce's name, several times actually," she exclaimed. Then her expression suddenly turned serious and mourning. "Were… were you dreaming about him?"
Zhou Yu gave a small nod, even though he was pretty shocked that the girl really cared about him and not just about his potential yaoi partners. "I… I think about him a lot, actually," he whispered again. He knew that it wasn't necessary to tell about this more information but she had the right to know.
There was a calm sad silence – which was immediately broken by Adrasteia's sudden comment.
"So was the whole thing really sweaty? And hot?"
Zhou Yu looked at her oddly. "What?!?"
Adrasteia gave a series of waves and meaningless gestures. "About the dream, silly."
He sighed once more. He had overestimated her once more. "My dreams are of nothing like that sort."
The girl pouted. "Are you sure?"
"Yes I am."
"You're just not willing to admit it!!"
"I DON'T HAVE SEXUAL INTERESTS TOWARDS SUN CE!!!"
Adrasteia gave another pouty frown that had irritation mixed in with it. "Then what other type of dream would require you to shout his name, huh? Of course it only can be you and him having se- "
He lifted his hand up to his forehead and groaned once more. She had extremely screwed up logic. Definitely.
Adrasteia gave her usual trademark impossibly wide smile that teetered on the verge of insanity. "You love him, don't you?" then tilted her head to one side.
"Love and sexual desire are two different things!!! Leave me alone and let me sleep!!"
"Aha! So you're admitting that you're inlove with him!!"
"I did not say anything!!! How the hell did you reach that conclusion?!?!?!"
"…"
Gong Jin directed his attention back to the kitchen- which still had several shards of what seemed to be the remains of several glasses. "Adrasteia, what did you do to my glasses?"
She sweatdropped and attempted to put up an innocent smile. "I was going to get some water but the water flow that came out of your water filter was exceedingly strong- I'm betting that Zhuge Liang jinxed it or something… then of course- the glass fell and I attempted it with another one but it ended up with the same fate…"
Zhou Yu gave her an exasperated glare. He just felt like a babysitter when he was around with her. "Just clean any mess you made, ok? And stop stealing my stuff!!"
"I didn't steal anything!" was the innocent reply of the one with bulging pockets.
Gong Jin gave another exasperated sigh. "Just sleep for now. Why are you so hyper in the middle of the night??"
"I don't know… nocturnal I guess."
"But you're hyper all day long. Can you just sleep so you won't make anymore noises? Why not give your idol a bit of a break here?"
"So you can sleep and be doing it with Sun Ce in your dreams again?"
"Shut up. Just sleep."
"Can I sleep on this couch?"
"Hell no, get as far as possible from me."
"But I wanna observe your reactions to your erotic dreams!!"
"I DON'T HAVE EROTIC DREAMS!!! JUST SLEEP IN THE OTHER ROOM!!!"
"Can I sleep in your bed?"
"Sure, just don't bother me anymore and don't steal my sheets. Stop auctioning off my stuff!!"
"………. I really make no guarantees but I shall go to your bedroom now. Ja!" then she hopped off to his bedroom.
He let out another exasperated sigh, but despite the extra amount of stress that he had received, his eyes were still heavy with fatigue. Zhou Yu closed his eyes then was surrounded by that ocean of inky darkness once more…
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
He looked out of the window and into the never-ending darkness beyond. After staring at it for approximately 5 minutes, Lu Xun concluded that nothing was interesting in the night skies then turned towards his left instead.
There she was, Guo Jia.
Coincidentally, they had seats right beside each other. Business class was not all too crowded, but the seats weren't too far apart either. He had to endure torture during the past 7 hours that he had been on this flight. His appetite was lost due to the unusual situation that he encountered with Guo Jia. Lu Xun couldn't concentrate enough to watch a movie, and was also too restless to sleep.
Whereas the attractive woman (or Guo Jia) beside him continued reading the Three Kingdoms book, then she finished it in a matter of a few moments and dozed off to sleep.
Gawd, she looked so peaceful. She looked more delicate when she wasn't conscious because the grip of indifference loosened up a little. Her sharp eyes were hidden away by the sweet innocence of her eyelids and her sharp sarcastic tongue was silenced by the tender fullness of her lips.
Lu Xun mentally slapped himself several times. You're talking about Guo Jia here!! An RTK geezer that served Cao Cao!!! He's like the Wei's Zhuge Liang!!!!
He unsuccessfully attempted to pry his eyes away from her. He tried visioning Zhuge Liang inside that female's body inorder to get himself disgusted. Zhuge Liang in that body was just horrifying, but Guo Jia was a different matter altogether.
While giving her several more quick glances (although he couldn't help but notice the feminine curvature of her body), the plane tipped slightly over to the right and so Guo Jia's head tipped on to Lu Xun's shoulder.
That attractive woman's head was resting on his shoulder.
Lu Xun closed his eyes tight and prayed that he was just imagining it. When he opened them- fortunately or unfortunately, her head was really on his left shoulder and he could smell the slight scent of flowers of her silky black hair which flowed in between them.
This time, he just really couldn't help it.
Lu Xun leaned a bit closer to her and ran his fingers through the silky lengths of her hair.
It doesn't matter, she's still sleeping.
He even placed a gentle hand on her cheek- something that he would have definitely never had the guts to do had she been awake.
For quite some time, he relaxed in that very same position- but then bolted up in panic when he saw her narrow eyes slit open, glaring at him in angry suspicion.
