Chapter 4: Regret

Zhou Yu sat in his usual place that evening. He was reading some credentials and was signing a whole lot of documents that day. Can't really say that he actually cared about the incident but did he? After a while, Xiang Shang and Gan Ning entered his chamber, the looks on their faces demanded a reasonable explanation from him but nonetheless he paid no attention.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?!" Xiang Shang started "Why did you leave her there with SHU!!? Damn don't you care on what they might do to her." She continued raising her voice ever so often "....." the man was hushed momentarily. "Yo, Zhou Yu, does your silence mean that you're regretting or you simply don't give a damn?" Gan Ning exclaimed as brunette abruptly stood up, causing the chair to fall behind him " If you're condemning me with all this crap then leave!! I have no time to be discussing such matters, when I'm busy doing much more" he exclaimed angrily.

"Zhou Yu! You heartless bastard!!!" Xiang Shang countered before stomping out of the room and slamming the door behind her, the former pirate following her lead. As soon as they were both Zhou Yu suddenly punched the stonewall with his bare fist, to keep himself from exploding. "So I'm a heartless bastard...What of it!!?" He said to himself as blood started to gush from his newly wounded fist. Tears' suddenly flowing down his stoic face, but it was as if he didn't even notice...for all he could think about then and there was a certain Qiao whom he wanted so much and yet couldn't even protect...

Meanwhile, in the other side of the door was a raven-haired girl. She had been leaning in the entrance as she listened intently on Zhou Yu's laments and soon after, she too, started to cry. "My sister...please come back,..." she mumbled; as she knelt down to the floor, covering he face with her hands.

~~*~~*~~*~~*

Jiang Wei came back to the tent to see Xiao sleeping peacefully. He had to admit that she was somewhat beautiful as he neared her and brushed a few strands of hair away from her delicate features. How can she love someone so cold as Zhou Yu, but on second though it was none of his business...to mention he barely knew the man "Jiang Wei, How is she?" Zhao Yun asked as he entered the tent " She's fine, just asleep" "Oh, well Lady Yue Ying is asking us to bring her to the main pavilion, Lord Liu Bei wants to talk to her I guess" "Um, shall I wake her?" Jaing Wei asked "Yah. How about giving her a heart warming kiss!" the tiger general teased "I'm not really as shameless as you are, and definitely not a playboy, who'd go for every girl he sees!" was his blunt reply.

"Stop calling me a playboy!!! What can I do if I'm extremely fine-looking, and that women are so attached to me" Zhao Yun said as Jiang Wei sighed "Hehehe Yah even Lord Zhang He is drooling over your manly stature" the spear general countered, unable to keep himself from laughing "Damn it!! You had to remind me about such stuff!!" "Well, Lord Zhang He, seems to have a fetish over "beautiful" and "graceful" things like my Lord Zhao Yun" "Quit that!" "hahaha, I bet he misses right now" the spear general continued as Zhao Yun turned deep red "Enough of this foolishness, we m- must not keep the lord waiting" the tiger general exclaimed, changing the subject "Ya...right"

"I'll inform Yue Ying go wake sleeping beauty up" and with that Zhao Yun exited leaving Jiang Wei with a sleeping Qiao. "Lady Qiao?" Jiang Wei whispered, kneeling beside the bed as he stared at her. Her hair was down unlike the usual and her lips were partially open, to mention that Zhao Yun's shirt covered only until her thighs. She looked so mature and so innocent. "Lady Qiao?" Jiang Wei repeated himself, shrugging the girl a bit "Huh?" the girl mumbled sitting up as she rubbed her eyes from drowsiness.

Jiang Wei smiled "Sorry to have woken you up, but Lady Yue Ying has just arrived and-" "I-I'm sorry!" Xiao suddenly cut him off "This is so embarrassing I must have slept like a log" she said, blushing "Don't worry about it, Xiao...um, by the way your clothes are all dry so you can change into them already. After which we'll accompany you to Lord Liu Bei" "Oh..." Xiao's face suddenly faltered, "He-hey don't worry about it, our Lord is really nice and understanding so I bet he'll acknowledge you." Jiang Wei comforted as if knowing how the girl possibly felt.

"Um, thanks..." xiao replied, turning a bit red. Ever since she first entered Shu encampment it was either the 2 spear generals that attended to her, and it was Lord Jiang Wei who almost always brought her comfort (Of course Lord Zhao Yun did the same but he was more of the pestering type that kept her hopes up)

"I'll be waiting for you outside Lady Xiao, please hurry up" Jiang Wei informed as the girl simply nodded as she changed to her normal attire. "Huh!? I just noticed Lord Jiang Wei had been calling me Xiao..." she muttered to herself as a faint blush crept in her cheeks... Could she possibly-

As Xiao Qiao, went out the pavilion, she was greeted by a rather bosom woman outside "How are you doing!?" she asked as Xiao nodded happily "I'm fine Lady Yue Ying, I guess your prediction was true..." she said, frowning a bit "You're always welcome here with us, Xiao Qiao so don't think too much" Yue Ying guaranteed her "So anyway we might as well get a move on, Lord Liu Bei awaits us" Zhao Yun interrupted as his companions complied.

~~*~~*~~*~~*

The main camp was a hefty pavilion, which was surrounded by guards. Beside it were some of Lord Zhuge Liang's famous creations such as the juggernauts and the arbalests. "Wooow! Tight!" Xiao awed "Well, it should be, we don't want any intruders now do we?" Yue Ying replied "Ya I guess" "Speaking of intruders, I've seen a mysterious person outside of Jiang Wei's camp, and from the looks of it, he seemed to be one of old fatso's troops?" Zhao Yun said "Dong Zhuo you mean?" Jiang Wei asked

After hearing the accursed name, Xiao Qiao suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Wh-What does Dong Zhuo want now?" she muttered nervously. Yue Ying noticed the girl's sullen reaction and knelt down to her "What's wrong?" Xiao looked at the woman "Dong Zhuo...he's after me! I'm sure he is AGAIN. Especially when I'm not-" "protected?" Zhao Yun interrupted "We'll protect you from that old hog, so don't sweat it twerp" he continued "Besides Dong Zhuo has been in our way, its best to rid of him once and for all" jiang Wei added "We promise you Lady Xiao, we won't let that old geezer lay a hand on you"

Xiao blushed, as tears stated to swell her eyes. Zhou Yu said something like that to her once, it was the time when Dong Zhuo had abducted her and her sister, Da Qiao "I'll never let you out of my sight again" he promised, sure he kept his promise for the past few years...but why not now?

"T-W-E-R-P" Zhao Yun's voice exclaimed bringing her back to her senses "Are you alright?" Yue Ying asked "Y-yes, so-sorry about that" She assured "(No use on recollecting now, Why can't I ever forget him!)" Xiao scolded herself when Jiang Wei suddenly made a reaction to pat the girls head "Don't worry, Lady Xiao, we won't let Dong Zhuo catch you...so please stop worrying" he said warmly as Xiao smiled a bit flustered

"Good News for all of you, since Dong Zhuo isn't after Lady Qiao, atleast not YET" a voice interrupted the mild conversation "LORD LIU BEI" "My apologies but I over heard your conversation and decided to cut in. You must be Lady Xiao Qiao" the man said warmly as he extended an arm over to her "It is an honor for me to have met such a lovely woman" he commented "It is an honor for me as well my Lord" Xiao replied taking the offer "My lord, what did you mean by Dong Zhuo isn't after Xiao yet?!" Yue Ying asked, a bit disturbed

"Probably because Dong Zhuo is after our supplies and provisionary, moreover if he finds out about Lady Qiao is at our grasp, the more his lust will grow" he explained vigilantly "So basically whether or weather not Lady Xiao is with us" Jiang Wei started "Fatso's planning to terrorize Shu" Zhao Yun continued "Indeed"

"LORD LIU BEI, THE WU FORCES ARE ADVANCING" a soldier suddenly cried out "MY LORD WE ARE UNDER HEAVY ASSSAULT!" "What!? A surprise attack? We must stand down. All of you prepare for battle" the commander ordered as the generals complied "Xiao Qiao, stay here" "No Way! I'm fighting too!!" she replied stubbornly as she grasped her twin fans. A fierce battle was about to begin in a few moments, as Shu assembled their forces.

But there behind the bushes was a dark shadow creeping silently, watching it's prey, and waiting the for the right time to strike...the time wherein Shu and Wu's forces are both depleted hence forth chaos...
