Thanks for all the reviews well. Anyways I'll be adding some original
characters in this chapter. Hope you don't mind. 2 of the characters here I
borrowed from a friend of mine
(Blue Viper) And was planning on doing another as my original character.
Hehehe. For black phoenix: Nice idea, I'll do that. For Blue Viper: Thanks
for all your help, couldn't have done it without you! Miss Da Qiao: Um,
which idea are you talking about? Yap I'm kinda annoyed with hamsters too!
^__^ Hope you're fine now! And for Fudgieangel: Don't worry I don't take
that as a flame, I actually appreciate your help, I'll try my best to
improve. I'll try a new style of writing in the next chapter, kinda lazy to
change this one. Thanks!
Yaaay! I finally got all level 10 weapons in DW4! Soooo happy! Anyways on with chapter 5, please leave me some reviews afterwards.
Chapter 5: The serpent strikes
The Shu generals assembled, it hadn't been long since their prior battle with Wu, to mention it had only been a day or so since Xiao Qiao arrived within their encampment. "Seems like your beloved Zhou Yu misses you already" Zhao Yun remarked, showing a hint of sarcasm as the girl blushed " You're wrong!! Wh-why would he miss me? I-I mean he's probably off to kill me, since I'm a turncoat" she resented "If you say so twerp!" "Stop calling me TWERP!!! By the way, um, where did Lord Jiang Wei go?" "Well, Lord Liu Bei asked him to call for reinforcements. Why? You miss him that much?" the tiger general teased "Hey! Stop that!" Xiao exclaimed, as she turned red in color. "I-I was just curious...that's all"
The 2 officers then rode in silence "Are you sure you wanna go against your co-comrades? " Zhao Yun asked "huh?" "Liu Bei is in the fort, protected by Zhuge Liang and Yue Ying. We along with a few others are in the frontline meaning chances are high that you will duel with one of your friends" he explained, glancing at the girl for a brief moment "I-I'll try is all I can say" Xiao muttered as the spear general simply nodded. "Just take care of yourself, and don't falter!" "Awww! Soo sweet of you Lord Zilong!" the girl pondered as she smiled sweetly at him making him somewhat flush.
Not Before long Zhao Yun, Xiao Qiao as well as the other Shu generals such as Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong assembled within in the vanguard. Xiao Qiao stayed close to the tiger general since she wasn't all to close with the other superiors. "I apologize for my tardiness!" a male voice suddenly said "Lord Jiang Wei!" Xiao exclaimed in delight as she glanced at the man riding a black colored mare. He gave Xiao an assuring smile and turned to Zhao Yun. "Reinforcements should be here in a matter of hours, we should try to halt Wu's movement till then" he explained solemnly as Zhao Yun nodded.
"That wouldn't be so hard..." he boasted "Over confident, my lord?" Jiang Wei smirked as Xiao grinned maliciously "I bet he's just over excited to see Lu Xun again!!" the girl exclaimed as the tiger general gave her his usual one-more-an-you-die-twerp glare
A fierce battle begun, Of course Wu's soldiers were nothing up against the Shu forces, Especially with the tiger general, Zhao Yun simply knocking each and every one of the infantry in a mere matter of minutes. He sometimes uses his musou but not ever so often. Also there's Zhuge Liang's apprentice, Jiang Wei, unlike the tiger general he was more of the conservative type, who would normally defend and let his bodyguards, finish the job for him. Lady Qiao on the other hand was given the privilege to take authority on a small female militia for her own safety. But despite that she had some doubts. About herself maybe...
~~~*~~~*~~~*
Zhou Yu took command of the Wu army. It was definitely weird that he'd call an all-out-attack so sudden, to mention that they barely had a strategy or whatsoever to begin with. All he was certain off was they had the advantage by having more soldiers than Shu but is that enough for them to achieve victory...to take back "his" Qiao? "Seems you knocked some sense into him, lady Sun" Lu Xun started, glancing at the man "Well it was about time!" was the blatant reply of the woman who seemed kinda pleased with herself "That's my Shang Xiang" Gan Ning exclaimed draping an arm around her. "Do you mind!!!" Xiang Shang said, her voice high pitched and reluctant.
"Anyhow, I'm glad to have old Zhou Yu back" Sun Ce interrupted as the older Qiao nodded and smiled. "Hey Quan, you doing all right?" Ce suddenly asked his brother who was somewhat lagging behind "Ya, just jealous seeing all the couples around me..." he muttered "What do you mean couples? I'm a loner too!" Lu Xun exclaimed, blushing a bit "Hey, don't pair me up with this bootleg now, brother!!" Shang Xiang cut in as the former pirate sobbed in a corner, feeling pretty much rejected...or rather dumped.
Zhou Yu on the other hand took the lead. He paid no attention to his allies since his mind was pre occupied on how to get his "Qiao" back "(Xiao Qiao, please be fine...I'll kill those no good for nothing Shu if they did anything to my wife!!") his mind shouted out.
~~~*~~~*~~~*
The battle was equally harsh; many of course were badly injured a lot even died to mention that both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's unit have been routed by Sun Ce's of Wu. They were forced to retreat leaving Jiang Wei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Xiao Qiao's units in the battlefield. "I will charge the enemy commander, you youngsters stay put" Huang Zhong ordered "Old man, you have no chances of winning. To say that both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were routed by Wu and they are much stronger that you are!" Zhao Yun mocked "YOU IMPUDENT WHELP! ON WHO"S SIDE ARE YOU ON ANYWAYS!?!" the old man shouted, furiously
"We cannot afford to lose anymore troops, my lord, and charging alone won't do any good but decrease our morale further down. We have to attack them at once" Jiang Wei suggested, calming the man a bit. "I believe you have a point there" the old man thought. "Very well, we will strike them in one blow! CHARGE!!!" he cried out as he raged through the battlefield "Stubborn old fart!" Zhao Yun ridiculed as soon as he was gone. Jiang Wei chuckled. "Anyhow shall we get going, we don't want him getting injured now do we?" Jaing Wei said as both Xiao Qiao and Zhao Yun complied riding their fine- bred horses into the skirmish.
Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei easily overpowered the privates as well as the infantry, while Xiao Qiao simply stayed put. Of course both spear generals understood what she possibly felt and simply lured the enemy soldier away from her.
"....Xiao...Qiao" A familiar male voice said, catching everyone's attention The girl glanced at where the voice came from, her eyes widened as she saw to whom it belong....Zhou Yu
Tears started to swell in her eyes, she wanted to rush to him and embrace him but was he thinking the same? Or was it simply a trap to kill the traitor?
"Sister" Da Qiao's voice emitted as she approached them, Lu Xun, Sun Ce and Shang Xiang close behind. Zhou Yu was speechless, he tried to open his mouth all though no words came out "(Oh great now that I'm face to face with her I don't even have the nerve to talk)" he though "What the hell are you doing!?" Shang Xiang whispered, poking the man as he rewarded her with an evil glare " Go hug her, kiss her or something, Zhou Yu! Come on you do have an appeal toward girls" Sun Ce teased as the man blushed harder. "Xiao Qiao...." he stammered as the girl backed a little. The tiger general, noticing her nervousness walked infront of her, his spear "fierce dragon" ready for battle at any time.
Zhou Yu grimaced and drew out his own sword " I accept your challenge" he exclaimed but before the battle begun a high pitched cry was heard behind the spear general "Wha-what the?!" Zhao Yun exclaimed as glanced behind but was suddenly pushed to the ground with an intense force. "Ouch! Wha-what the-ack!!" the spear general turned crimson as he realized that Xiao Qiao was somewhat on top of him to mention the distant of their lips were...well very close. Close enough for anyone to misinterpret.
"Xi-Xi-Xiao Qiao..." Zhou Yu stammered, as the other generals were speechless and continued to gawk at the 2, their faces all flushed (imagine Lu Xun's). "Waah! That hurts!" Xiao cried as she sat up, she was pretty much clueless on where or whom she had landed on. "Lord Zhao Yun, I though you didn't have a thing for spoiled, bratty kids..." Jiang Wei asked still gawking "Shut up!" he exclaimed "Twerp! Get off of me NOW!" the tiger general demanded getting the girls attention "Huh? What happened to you?" she asked innocently, standing up "I'm suppose to ask you that!" "Well someone pushed me...so I fell-eep!" she explained as it come to realization what happened.
"Oooh! Never though there was a sweet side of you Zhao Yun!" an old man exclaimed "Huang Zhong! You're behind this!" Zhao Yun accused "What?! I'm simply an innocent old man..." he said, turning back "Liar! You pushed Xiao Qiao, and she landed on me!" "Well, I was doing my musou, and got a bit dizzy....can't blame me if I'm getting pretty old...!" "damn you old man!!!"
"Xi-Xi-Xiao Qiao..." Zhou Yu said, his eyes pleading that what he saw wasn't true. "(sh-She ki-kissed th-that bastard! Xiao Qiao...please say this ain't true)" "Ooh! Seems you've been dumped" Sun Ce said, patting Zhou Yu. "It-it isn't what you think it is..." Xiao started, blushing madly. She was especially concerned about Zhou Yu who was looking depressed and shattered. Dumped?
"MY LORDS" a man in heavy armor exclaimed, he seemed to be dressed in a rather high ranked bodyguard outfit and that long raven hair of his was tied to a long ponytail behind his back. "LORD LIU BEI, IS IN DANGER, PLEASE WE NEED ASSISTANCE!!" he continued, "How can that be? The Wu generals are right here" Jiang Wei exclaimed "Huh? It must be Gan Ning and Sun Quan!" Shang Xiang said "but-" she stammered "Dammit you cheater!!" Zhao Yun exclaimed, as he was ready to mount his stallion, to attend to his Lord "WAIT!" Xiao exclaimed "I'll go, I believe I'll be of more use there..." she explained. Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei stared at her meaningfully "Very Well...please be careful"
Soon after she had mounted her horse and so did the mysterious man they were off but what they didn't know was that often looks can be deceiving as the man grinned before taking off. His plan worked perfectly, the lady Qiao has been captured and both Wu and Shu have fallen...
End of Chapter 5:
A/N: Blue Viper, ne, expect that your characters will come in next chapter! I though I would be able to put them now but this chapter became a little too long! Sorry!
Zhao Yun: I-I- kissed her!? What the hell!?
A/N: I said close enough to misinterpret, I said nothing about lip locking.
Lu Xun: I found that sweet! Hehehe
Zhao Yun: Shorty, you are dead!
A/N: Please don't forget to review, I'm really sorry, I had to stop since this chapter was getting a bit long. Next chapter is about Zhao Yun's past (according to me of course) Gan Ning's somewhat new love and Zhou Yu rescuing his Qiao from the clutches of the Dong Zhuo (Will he succeed or end up Xiao being--)
Jiang Wei: Aren't you spoiling it already
Zhao Yun: My past? What do you know about it? Don't you dare screw it up!!
Zhou Yu: Xiao will end up what!? Hey! I can handle that pig anytime!
Gan Ning: New Love? So I don't end up with Shang Xiang. T___T
Zhang He: When am I gonna be in this fic!?
A/N: Please leave me some reviews! ^____^
Yaaay! I finally got all level 10 weapons in DW4! Soooo happy! Anyways on with chapter 5, please leave me some reviews afterwards.
