Chapter 3: Adopted
Xiao Qiao fell to her knees, crying. It was well obvious that Wu had abandoned her and treated her as a traitor ever since that incident. "I never want to see your face again, traitor!" Zhou Yu's piercing remark kept repeating itself in her head. She felt so guilty about it but its not as if she can do anything to change it anymore. She can never go back to Wu...ever
"Until when do you plan to sulk like that?!" a voice exclaimed from behind her. "Hu-huh?" the girl glanced back to see two familiar faces gawking at her rather pitifully. "Oh...Lord Zhao Yun, Lord Jiang Wei...I thought you already escaped with Lady Yue Ying?" "Not really she asked us to be of assistance to you!" Jiang Wei explained, courteously "but I guess we didn't do much of a help did we? Um, I know it kinda hard-"
Xiao Qiao shook her head "I-I'm fine sob I'm really sowi sob I must have looked sob pathetic" the girl said in between gasps and sobs "Cry as long as you want...we're not really blaming you for anything" Zhao Yun stated as he leaned on a tree trunk with his arms braced to his chest. "Awww! I never thought the fierce dragon has the hearts towards cute girls" Xiao teased whipping her tears away. "Hehehe. Zhao Yun, don't tell me you have a liking to Lady Qiao?" Jiang Wei added as the tiger general growled, glaring at his companion evilly.
"First off, I have no eyes for little girls. IMMATURE! SPOILED AND BRATTY!" Zhao Yun said as Xiao pouted "Hey! For your information Mr-Sourpuss I'm not immature! Spoiled or bratty! And I'm no longer a girl! I'm already married!" "Uh...yah..." "HEEEY! You're making fun of me! I'm telling Zhou-" Xiao stopped in realization, damn why can't I forget about him!
"Hey twerp! Don't start crying again!" The tiger general suddenly said as he mounted a silver stallion "I'm not gonna cry! And don't call me twerp!" "Well you are!" Zhao Yun countered, "I am NOT!! I'm just as tall as Lu Xun (well 2-3 inches shorter, but still--)!! And just as good in battle as anyone else" The tiger general became silent "Huh? What? Something I said?!" "Hey! Zhao Yun, are you okay?" Jiang Wei looked at his companion, who had a blank stare as he too mounted a colt. "Oh! I see! You got interested about Lu Xun?" Xiao grinned maliciously "...Ah! So Lord Zhao Yun has his eyes the tactician kid" the spear general added, forcing himself not to laugh.
"Jiang Wei, I swear if you weren't my comrade, I would have killed you by now!" Zhao Yun replied calmly. "Sorry about that, but what's with the blank stare all of a sudden?" "Nothing, hey twerp!" "What--!? I am not A TWERP!!!!" "That Lu Xun kid, if you're as tall as him" "Yap Lu Xun is a bit short for a guy, that's why he's afraid of heights...ack! That was supposed to be a secret!" "Why are you so interested anyway? You like him?" Jiang Wei teased "Of course not! That'll be weird! I just thought that if Wu had so much twerps in the frontline! We can use that as our advantage."
"One more insult and I'll beat you up so badly!!" Xiao exclaimed her cheeks puffed and her face was red from all the shouting. "Just kidding, anyhow we better get going..." Zhao Yun stated looking at the murky sky "Seems like mother nature is against us" Jiang Wei added as he offered a hand to the girl. "Huh?" "Hop on! Unless you want to walk all the way to our encampment" "Um...thanks" Xiao said, grabbing the man's hand as he pulled her up to the front of the harness
~~*~~*~~*~~*
As Zhou Yu and the others got back to their base, they went separate ways and said nothing to anyone. Sun Xiang Shang and Lu Xun went to report to Sun Jian while Da Qiao ran towards her room, avoiding everyone. Sun Ce of course was trying the best he can to comfort her but to no avail. Gan Ning, the former pirate went to a small tavern to keep his mind of off things and Zhou Yu...he quietly walked to his room, as if nothing even happened...
"Achoo!" "Um, you okay Lu Xun?" Xiang Shang asked her friend "Um...yah! Strange that I keep on sneezing achoo "Hey! They say when you keep on sneezing someone's thinking of you!" "Um...hopefully whoever it is they're thinking good about me!" Lu Xun replied, scratching the tip of his nose. On their way to the Sun Jian's chamber, the 2 came passed a balcony "Huh? It's raining" Xiang Shang stated, "I wonder if Xiao Qiao is fine..." she continued, remembering the little girl "That girl is tougher than she looks! The question is why she defected?" the tacticians mumbled as they entered a room too see Lord Sun Jian, waiting.
~~*~~*~~*~~*
"I can't believe this! I'm sooo wet!" Xiao complained, "You're not the only one" the tiger general replied, "Damn it! Of all the days there'd be a storm!" "Quit complaining you two, we're almost there" Jiang Wei scolded "By the way Lady Qiao, do you have anything to change too?" "Ack. I just remembered all my stuff are back in Wu." "//////" Zhao Yun started to blush but said nothing "Hey! Don't stare at me like that!" Xiao Qiao exclaimed noticing what Zhao Yun had in mind. "I wonder if I can borrow something from lady Yue Ying?" "Don't worry about that now, I'm sure we'll find something for you!" Jiang Wei assured her as soon enough the Shu encampment came visible "Guess we're here"
Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei dismounted their horses and helped Xiao Qiao down as well. The first thing they then noticed was not a heartily welcome from their fellow men but rather the obscure resentments towards the new comer. Xaio felt uncomfortable as she stayed near either the 2 spear generals. "Um..." she mumbled "Don't worry, you'll be safe with us" Jiang Wei gave her an assuring pat on the head "Just don't go wandering around twerp!" Zhao Yun added only to receive a death glare from the girl. Well it did made her feel a little better...
"Zhao Yun! Jiang Wei! Welcome back young ones" An old man greeted "Thanks for the welcome, old man" "Ts, Still the disrespectful buck aren't ya!?" "Um, Lord Huang Zhong?" Jiang Wei muttered, "Is lady Yue Ying inside? We need to borrow some garments for lady Qiao" "Ah yes! I've heard from old Zhuge Liang about this young lass, hmm...aren't you too young to be that slut, Zhou Yu's wife?" the old man questioned, which seemed to have annoyed Xiao "Quit it old fart!" Zhao Yun butted in, aware of the girl's short temper and how she was infuriated on how huang zhong insulted her "spouse" in a way
"Sorry Lord, but we need to get her some dry clothes, questioning can wait" Jaing Wei added as the old man considered "Unfortunately Yue Ying and Zhuge Liang are having an assembly with Liu Bei" "Oh...Well we don't really have much of a choice. Lady Qiao if its fine with you, you can borrow one of Zhao Yun's shirts for the meantime but I'm not quiet sure if it would be that clean!" Jaing Wei explained, "What do you mean it's not clean!?" The tiger general resented but the girl simply shook her head "No, it's fine. I'd really appreciate it" she said, as a light shade of pink crept in her cheek.
Jaing Wei and Xiao Qiao made their way in a large tent while Zhao Yun went to another; the pavilion was composed of a simple bed, a table, and a large shelf filled with books. It wasn't too shabby and it was actually very neat. "Wooow! So tidy!" "Thanks" Jaing wei said, scratching his head in embarrassment "So this is your room! Heehee, Zhou Yu, can never keep his room this tidy" "Do you and Lord Zhao Yun sleep together?" "Nope, Zhao Yun, is well um...kinda like my opposite. I won't get to study if I were with him! To mention I won't be able to sleep because of his loud snoring!" "I don't snore that loud" Zhao Yun interrupted as he appeared in the entrance "Uh, yah right...you just mumble in your sleep! Something like "Diao chan...Zhen Ji-sama I am at your every command. hehehe" Jiang Wei imitated as the tiger general started to blush deep red. "Damn you!" "Play Boy!"
"Here! Catch!" Zhao Yun exclaimed throwing the girl a plain white shirt, he was still beet red and avoided eye contact "There's a bathroom in there so go get changed "Ye-Yes!" the girl obeyed, doing what she was told and forcing herself not to laugh. Never really knew that the ever so serious tiger general was a um...hehehe a playboy...
Xiao went into the bathroom and striped off her clothing. She then changed into the shirt, which was big enough to cover until her thighs, so she really didn't have to worry about clothes, til Yue Ying arrived.
"Lady Qiao, yo-you can rest he-here if y-you want" Jiang Wei stammered as the older general wrestled him for exposing his "secrets" "We'll be back in a while...just need to talk with Huang Zhong..." "I'll kill you about that Zhen Ji and Diao chan thing!" Zhao Yun mumbled "Wha!? It is true! I saw you saying some mushy stuff while you were asleep!!" the 2 generals struggled in one another's grip as they went out. "Hehehe, thank you!" Xiao giggled and lay in the cot.
"(Zhou Yu...does he...I bet he's jumping for joy to have finally got rid of me...)" Xiao Qiao thought, as she soon drifted of to sleep...
~~*~~*~~*~~*
Deep in the shadows a silhouette of a human being grinned maliciously "Lord Dong Zhuo would be very pleased, not only will he prosper on Shu's lands but he too will finally get his hands on one of the greatest beauties..." and with that the mysterious man disappeared.
