Away from You
From Xiao Qiao's POV
Chapter 1: I have no title...can you give me a title for chapter 1?
Ever since the Race for the Nan Territory, Lord Zhou Yu had always been in a bad mood. Sure I kinda understand, after all the Shu army had taken the Ying province right under our noses. Don't get me wrong now, my lord is really nice but because of this little mishap he's been very dominant and rather complicated especially to our militia, to mention...he pays lesser attention to me than he usually does, I sometimes even doubt if Lord Zhou Yu notices me anymore...
"Accursed Shu!" he would always quote or "Curse that meddling Zhuge Liang! How dare he interfere?" My sister, Da Qiao would usually notice my grim reaction and would consult me telling me how stressed the Lord is...if that's the case how come the Lord Sun Ce despite all the pressure never disregards her. What about Lord Ga Ning, doesn't he still stay with Lady Shang Xiang in regardless of the warfare? Is it simply because Zhou Yu doesn't give a damn about me...thinks of me as a mere kid?
The next few days were exhausting! Well, More like boring...Hehehe, I guess nobody would mind if I took a walk, I bet no one would even notice that I'm gone. I took my weapon "True Grace" (Can anyone tell me the name of her tenth weapon) with me along with a red hare, the fastest stallion that ever lived and without further more to do I took my leave without even saying a word.
Soon enough I came to a small village. It was very peaceful; there weren't any sign of any Shu, Wei or Wu. "Aah! Feels good!" I stretched out, dismounting red hare "I wonder if they've noticed I'm gone yet?" I grinned mischievously and walked my way to a small booth selling some meat buns.
"Yaaay! Food!" I exclaimed excitedly as an old woman welcomed me in. "Welcome young lady, what can I get for you?" she asked, "Um...lets see-" I was taking quiet some time on choosing, "Wow! They all look sooo good!" I commented as the lady smiled in appreciation. It was then when I remembered when I first cooked Zhou Yu dinner; he had this weird facial expression as he chewed on the food. "Eh? What's wrong? Didn't you like it?" I pouted as he only smiled...well he tried to atleast "I-its um...well, unique, Xiao" he would say, and I always bought it. But it's obvious that he was ready to go to the bathroom afterwards. Hehehe.
I gave my order to the woman and not long after, she came back with the rations. "Yaay! Let's eat" I exclaimed and took a bite from the big meat bun.
"Well, well, seems like you're kinda lost" a female voice came from behind catching my attention as I abruptly took hold of "True Grace" ready to attack the intruder anytime
"Don't worry, I have no intention on causing trouble" the woman said solemnly as she took her seat beside me.
"A-aren't you Lady Yue Ying?" I asked, not letting my guard down as the female only nodded as she ordered some chow. "And you are Zhou Yu's spouse I presume?" she looked at me, speaking politely. "Yap! And I'm not as weak as I seem to be" I bragged. Yue Ying chuckled "I told you didn't I, I don't have any plans on fighting, atleast not yet" "Then what are you here for?" I questioned taking my seat, while settling down. Even though we are enemies, every warrior has his/her pride to keep their word.
"Hm, I'd ask the same to you Xiao Qiao" she replied, using my name. Wow! So I'm pretty famous, being Zhou Yu's other half, or so they say. "Hey! I asked you first!" I pouted. "Fine! Just don't start with a tantrum little girl" she glared at me and continued on "Well, this is my home town, that makes it clear" "Y-Your home town?" "That's right, I visit here ever so often. And you?" I fidgeted "Well, you see...um" How to explain. I can't tell her that Zhou Yu thinks her husband is a meddling ass.
"What's the matter Lady Xiao Qiao?" she asked "Oh, nothing. You can call me Xiao by the way, I don't want to be so formal" she raised a brow; she was definitely searching me for answers. I took a deep breath and started with my explaining.
After telling her what happened, she started laughing "H-hey! Wh-what's so funny!?" I demanded "Sorry. But My husband, seems to be acting the same way right now" she replied "Huh?! But Prime Minister, Zhuge Liang, is always so calm and serious" "That's what you think!" Yue Ying countered, "My husband always says, "Kids nowadays!" or "We could have gotten Nan territory for ourselves if it weren't for the little brat" and so on." She replied, imitating Zhuge Liang's voice and supposedly expressions, making me laugh.
"Brat?" Whoa! I can never imagine Lord Zhuge Liang calling my Zhou Yu a brat, it's so not like the old geezer. Yue Ying smiled "Old geezer? Indeed! My husband is having more wrinkles by the hour, due to his endless protests" "Hehehe. I never really noticed Zhou Yu having wrinkles YET" I replied as both of us started laughing. It felt good talking to someone in the same kind of situation as I was even if she was my adversary...
"A BATTLE!! THERE'S A BATTLE" A sudden cry was heard. Yue Ying abruptly stood up as she ran towards the man, leaving me behind to pay the bill. "What happened!? A battle?!" she questioned "Ye-Yes It seems the Wu army is on the move and has surrounded Lord Zhuge Liang's troop, north of here"
"Lady Yue Ying?!" I cried out "Uh...Xiao Qiao, the Wu army had advanced and has surrounded my husbands army along with his troops." "Bu-but!? How can that be?!" I exclaimed, feeling nervous about the sudden assault. "You didn't know anything about this?" "I swear, I have no idea! Hey!" I turned to the man "How many generals of Wu are there?" I asked, hoping that Zhou Yu was not among them.
The man was still trembling "W-Well Lord Zhou Yu, is in lead. And our scouts say that their tactician Lord Lu Xun, as well as the descendants of Lord Sun Jian, Lady Shang Xiang, Lord Sun Quan and Lord Sun Ce had tagged along. Oh and that pirate guy Ga Ning as well as Lady Da Qiao"
"My sister!? Um, What about Shu?" "Apparently only my husband, Jiang Wei and Zhao Yun are on standby. Yue Ying answered "Uh...I guess it was my fault! They attacked Shu because of me!" "It is not your fault Lady Qiao, this is merely a battle field, so anyone can take initiative anywhere and anytime" Yue Ying offered consult as I thought it over and finally "Lord Zhou Yu...I-I'm so sorry! Lady Yue Ying! I will help, Shu!" I exclaimed, making my sudden decision.
"Are you sane?" Yue Ying exclaimed, "You'll be betraying your own--!"
"I don't want to go back to Wu anyhow...besides Lord Zhou Yu has gotten too far! I'm sure. I'm sure he'll make me an excuse for attacking Zhuge Liang!" I cut her off "And Shu has nothing against such a massive army!"
"Suite yourself, but after this I'm precise that you will be treated as traitor..." "I-its fine! If that happens I have this village to go too." I replied solemnly, "You're so naïve as well as stupid!" "Hey! I heard that!" I pouted as the woman chuckled "But if that happens You are always welcome to join the Shu! Thank You..." Yue Ying murmured softly but enough for me to hear as she then ran off to the battlefield.
Lord Zhou Yu...I'll always love you even if you would hate me for doing such a thing. I'm sorry for not being a good wife, if only I could be with you once again, but it seems impossible now, for I had made my decision...I just hope what I'm doing is the right thing
END OF CHAPTER 1:
So um...how was it? Do you want me to continue? Please review and tell me what you guys think, I'm not really ready for flames though since this is my first Dynasty Warriors fic! TY.
