Chapter: the visits.
The camp was not as far as Mulan had expected. She was used to the camps being further, She still remembered when her home was in the south not in the north. Training was, for a lack of a better word...hard. It had been almost a year since Mulan was put through the hard continous work. But as hard as training was Being a captain was ten times harder. 'What kept Shang from killing everyone?' Mulan had once thought. Her day was long. Wake up then it was to the training grounds with the more experienced fighters, after that it was to the main grounds to train her pathetic mess also known as soldiers, After that she was to report in to eat and then finally sleep. It was often harder then it seemed to keep that schedule. It was alot harder without Yao, Ling, and Chein Po, all of them had a job training in the west.
One fateful night, Chi-fu, of all people, came to their small camp.
"General Li" he called, "The Mongolians have declared war on china!"' What was he babbling about?'Mulan thought 'everyone knows that Shan-Yu, the Mongolian leader was dead. They had even found his body, sort of. It was really burnt and missing chunks of flesh. There was blood oozing out of his arms and there was almost a complete hole in his chest from where the rocket hit him and kept going. His eyes were missing, he had a huge hole in his head from where his nose was supposed to be.He was no longer as intimadating as he had been when she saw him towering over her. He was Shan Yu. Or so the everyone thought. but it was a huge, male Mongolian. . Mulan shuddered at the memory of seeing him, dead. Then she felt the urge to gag at the rememberance of the smell of his burnt flesh rotting in the sun. She quickly tried to shake that idea out of her head.
Shang walked out of his tent, he was clearly aggrivated.
"What do you mean? Shan - Yu is dead. How could there be another war?" he demanded. Chi-fu squirmed under the glares he had received from the General and his Captain.
"Sir," One of the men accompaning the old messanger interrupted, "oh and ma'am" he added hastly "We had received word that another group of huns had assembled after their leader died, apparently they have a mission," he grimaced at the thought and then tried to find a way to tell the camp, which was all gathered outside to hear the news. "We caught a couple of the Mongolians," he explained slowly, " After being locked up and tourtured they told us what they were up to.They are hunting down......... the girl." With that word he had pointed, solemly at Mulan, the only female in the camp.
"Why Mulan?" One of the recruits had asked. Mulan knew the answer.
"The new leader, the one they call Ken-shi, was taught by Shan-Yu, he want's revenge for the destruction of Shan Yu and his entire army," Chi-fu smirked, " I honestly think we should just give her to them save the time and the fighting, she isn't worth much anyway, noone will miss her." Chi-fu added, smirking his evil I'm better than you smirk. Every eye was upon Shang and Mulan.
"We could Put you in a dress with makeup and send you instead" Shang Mumbled, but he mumbled just a little TOO loud. Mulan bit her lip trying to supress a giggle. "Chi-fu," Shang had started again, " They are not just after Mulan they are after the emporer, giving Mulan to them would be like killing one of our best soldiers, it would destroy the army" Shand reasoned.
"Yes, and besides," Mulan interrupted, (That was another habit she had just like being late for everything)," I am now Li Mulan not Fa Mulan, besides there are probably hundreds of Mulans in China."
"Mrs. Li or Miss Fa," the messanger looked surprised that she had interrupted." They are after a female warrior, you being here is not safe,"
"Maybe we could send her home?" Shang suggested
"No, me being at home would make me useless and they will attack the army looking for me, and my family, I'm going to stay and fight" Mulan insisted.
"yeah, let her stay, General" one recruit added, amused at the fact that Shang was losing a battle with Mulan, from the way she was talking, this wasn't the first argument she had won.
"Okay, Mulan, you will stay for a while but if it get's bad you are going home, okay?" Shang more of less had sounded like he was telling her that instead of asking her.
"Alright" Mulan nodded, she completely knew that there was no way she'd just pick up and leave if there was a little danger, she had a family to protect.
The next day was frantic, all of China knew there was an upcoming war. The tension was Thick. Everyone jumpy. The camp was the same way, All the men were nervous, Mulan was among the men in being anxious. or was that just dread?
"Mulan" Shang had summoned her into their tent that day. "The Mongolians are alittle north of here, They are killing every female they pass, they are also killing every child under a year old. I imagine none of them know exactly what you look like, they aren't taking chances and they deffinately don't want the famous warrior woman having an heir. Maybe you should go home.You would be safer"
"Go home and what?" Mulan challenged, " Wait for them to come and kill me and Sai-Yen? I want to be here fighting for him."
"That is MY job, I am the husband I am supposed to fight for my family, you need to stay at home where it's safer! Let me do my job and you can do your job taking care of Sai Yen!" Mulan felt a familure pain in her heart, She had been lectured like this the day she left for the army 'I know my place it is time you learn yours' her father's voice rang in her ears. Tears started to swell in her eyes, her head ached from the constant repeating voices in her head, 'I know my place it is time you learned yours' 'you may look like a bride but you will NEVER bring your family honor' Mulan rushed out of the tent,and stormed straight towards the stalls where Khan waited. She HAD to do SOMETHING.
"Mulan? where are you going?" Shang asked suddenly regretting what he said.
"I'm going to help my son." she said sternly
"Wait, I will go with you, let me get Zhai shien, he's the best trained man I have, the Luitenant will take over while I get you home."
The ride home was a silent one. Mulan planned how to help Sai - Yen and Shang was planning how to help Mulan. Mulan prayed that their house was still in one piece. What if they were too late ? That wretched thought kept running through her mind. Finally they got to their home, it was further south then the camp and had not yet been raided. Once inside the large house Mulan looked around, nothing had changed, and nothing was amiss. The beautifully decorated walls were still in tact, Mulan shook the visions of them being tattered, ripped and half burnt, that was one of her worse dreams.
"Popo!" Mulan called, "Sai-Yen?!" Mulan listened slightly paniced, praying that Mei Lin and Sai yen were still there.
"Shang? Mulan? you're back soon" Mei Lin called happily bringing Sai-yen with her to the main room. Mulan held Sai-Yen happily and smiled. It had only been about three days since she left but she had missed him so, He smiled and cooed softly.
" The Huns are attacking China! We have to go further south. That will give the army time to stop the Mongolians." Mulan rushed through the house grabbing things, while she still held Sai Yen, as she explained. 'Finally she was trying to save herself' Shang thought.
" There is a trail families are using to escape,It is not too far from us people are using it constantly and it is safe. My family lives in the south they will not mind if we intrude, it will be safer." she continued." I have to keep Sai Yen safe." Mulan whispered and gently touched Sai-yen's head as he fell asleep. 'He really looked alot like Shang. Hopefully he will have some patience ' she thought smiling a little bit more.
"Alright," Mei Lin said alittle bit dazed by Mulan's fast talking, "when do we leave?"
"About thirty minutes ago," she sighed "The faster the better."
OKay this is my second attempt. I know, I know not too good I'll work on. If ya have any ideas let me know at azn_otohime@hotmail.com. thank you.
