Another Chappie!!! ^_^

A Wei general wearing an eye-patch strode over to them and barked, "You two are from the Wu! I can tell because of the way you present yourselves."

He tied their hands behind their backs with some rope and twain. "Come with me!"

"Like we have a choice." Zhou Yu mumbled under his breath.

Xiahou Dun said, "I'm quite sure Cao Cao will want to see the girl, so I'll present the two of you before his royal presence."

They followed Xiahou Dun all the way to the Wei's capital, where they were brought in front of the Wei ruler, Cao Cao.

"Well, who do we have here?" Cao Cao said as he left his throne to inspect Xiao Qiao.

Before he could draw close, Zhou Yu kicked him in the knee.

"Ouch! Protective, aren't we? Well, you'll have a chance to be even more protective, in prison!" Cao Cao roared.

Thus saying, the guards hurried them into the prison cell, pushed them in there, and locked them up.

Xiao Qiao hit the hard floor with a thud. "Ohh!" she whined.

Zhou Yu immediately rushed over, helped her up, and held her close. She sobbed into his shoulder.

He stroked her hair, "It's alright. We'll be okay. I won't let anything happen to you."

She dug her face into his chest.

"I love you." he said.

"I love you too." she whispered, pulling him tightly to her.

Zhou Yu kissed her forehead. "Everything will be just fine. I won't let something go wrong."

Sun Ce was pacing in his bedroom. Where could his best buddy be? Why did he leave? What was going on? Is his buddy okay?

Sun Shang Xiang came in his room. "Da Qiao won't shut up her crying. I can't stand it anymore!"

Sun Ce went into his sister's room, where Da Qiao was weeping into a fluffy pillow.

He walked over to her, "Everything will be alright.. I'm sure they just went on an excursion or something. They'll be back."

"What if something happened to them?" she wailed.

"Uh... nothing happened to them. I'm sure of it." he replied.

"But, what if something did?" she cried.

Sun Ce couldn't find an answer, so he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him. What if something DID happen?

Meanwhile, in Cao Cao's prison cell, Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu grew tired. There was only one bed, so somebody had to sleep on the floor.

"Xiao Qiao, you can sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the floor." Zhou Yu offered.

"No, that's not fair. You should have the bed, Zhou Yu." Xiao Qiao said.

"No, I like the floor. I've snoozed on the floor before, and I'll do it again." Zhou Yu replied.

"Are you sure? Can I really have the bed?" Xiao Qiao asked.

"Of course." Zhou Yu said as he helped her on and tucked her in.

"Good-night." he said as kissed her cheek.

"Night, Zhou Yu." Xiao Qiao said as she snuggled up and fell asleep.

Zhou Yu smiled as layed down on the floor. Laying there, all his thoughts were about Xiao Qiao. His eyes closed as drifted off to sleep.

"Get up! Lord Cao Cao wants to see you guys this morning." a silly voice rang.

Opening his eyes, Zhou Yu saw a silly looking man, "Might you be Xu Zhu?" he questioned while getting himself on his feet.

"Yup! That I might be!" the man said.

Zhou Yu groaned , of all people, why is Xu Zhu their new prison guard?

He walked over to the slumbering Xiao Qiao. How peaceful she looked there with her eyes closed and a smile across her face.

He gently shook her, "Hey, time to wake up." he whispered in her ear.

She made a squeak as she rose, apparently in disgust of rising so early.

When she was up, Xu Zhu unlatched the bolt and the two slowly trudged out.

Following Xu Zhu, they passed many halls and corridors before the were in front

of Cao Cao himself.

"Well, how did you enjoy the cell?" Cao Cao chimed.

"Oh, it was wonderful." Zhou Yu said in a sarcastic tone. "You know, one old mattress, cold and clammy, just the way I like it."

Cao Cao smiled, "We like to torture our prisoners, I'm happy to see it's going the way we planned."

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever."

"Well, Xu Zhu, escort them to our prisoners kitchen, where they'll find their breakfast." Cao Cao demanded.

"Yup. I will." Xu Zhu chirped as he lead them down the hall.

Sun Jian finally came home late that evening.

"I've found out where they are, and I have hired a professional to get them out of that freaking prison." Sun Jian said as he introduced Gan Ning.

"Hello there. I AM a professional, I'll get them out in a jiffy." the tall man with feathers sticking out of his bandana replied.

"How?" Sun Ce asked, not quite sure about this man's ability.

"Why, this way of course!" he exclaimed as he pulled a shovel to his right side.

"What?! Your gonna dig 'em out?!" exclaimed Sun Shang Xaing.

"Yup, he sure is." Sun Jian sang out. "He's gonna go over to that freaking castle and tunnel under ground like a mole and get 'em out."

"Oh my goodness! What ever gave him an idea like that?" Da Qiao squealed.

"My little friends, the moles in my backyard." Gan Ning answered. "But don't tell anyone about them, they're quite shy."

Sun Ce groaned, "Well, if that'll get 'em out..."

"I think Gan Ning's been in the wine again..." Da Qiao sighed.
