Hey! I said no flaming! (Especially flaming characters that I just borrowed which is worst) I'm really sorry but whoever sent me that review I found it offensive so erased it.( and I shall continue on erasing it so don't bother) I think original characters are fine, many put in their original characters in their fics, so why can't I? Please be reasonable. Besides even if I put original characters they won't play much of a role since this fic is focused on the main ones specifically Zhou Yu/ Xiao Qiao/Zhao Yun. Please if you find this fic stupid then don't review at all.

Most of you want Zhao Yun and Xiao to be together...we'll see, I'll be adding lots of twists in this story so... read if you wanna know! ^__^

Chapter 6: Captured

"Um...aren't we a little far off" Xiao Qiao asked the man as she glanced at the unfamiliar surrounding, beforehand the man had said something about taking a shortcut to the fort but this "shortcut" of his seemed to have taken much longer than that of the normal route. "Are you sure on where we're going?" she asked, only to be purposely ignored "Hey are you even listening to a word I say?!" the girl then exclaimed as the man grinned behind her back, simply enjoy her temper tantrums.

"Lady Qiao, its getting dangerous, this man seems to be planning a ploy on us" a lady guard whispered, sure Xiao had her suspicions, but its not as if she can do anything. Since what if he was actually telling the truth about Liu Bei in a fit. To mention Yue Ying may be in trouble as well...but this was getting pretty much out of hand.

"Hey! I'm turning back, its getting creepy and I-" she started to mumble but was cut off by the low, sadistic voice of the man "Unfortunately Lady Qiao, there is no turning back, After all my Lord Dong Zhuo has awaited some time to get his grasp on you. It would be rude not see him now would it?" "Dong Zhuo?! So you lied!? Mouu! I'm such an idiot to believe you in the first place!" Xiao exclaimed, her bodyguards, unsheathing their swords and rushing in front of their mistress. "Its your fault for falling for this scheme anyhow. You should have known better than to trust a complete stranger" the man said "Hmph. Even if you say so, you shouldn't take me lightly cause I'll beat you to a pulp!! What does Dong Zhuo want from me anyways?!"

The man shrugged "You'll only be wasting your time fighting me, so forget it kid! And about what Dong Zhuo wants from you, I don't really give a damn. He probably wants to make you his wife or something, since that old bastard lacks companionship! I'd say you'd make a cute couple" the man teased only to get Xiao's blood boiling. "That's absurd!!!! I'll never marry a big fat and ugly bastard like him even if he's the last man in the end of the earth!!! To mention that even Zhao Yun is MUCH BETTER COMPARED TO HIM, though he's a jerk at times but even still!!!" the girl exclaimed, her cheeks turning to a dark shade of red from embarrassment.

The man chuckled "You have a crush on Zilong?" he asked, a bit entertained, as the girl blushed "No way!!! I'm already married to Lord Zhou Yu and I'm pretty much satisfied with that! So stop contradicting, you jerk!" Xiao exclaimed, her voice turning a bit high pitched. "I pity you, but unfortunately I have to bring you back to Dong Zhuo either way, so playtimes over!" the man muttered as he took out a long sword from his sheath and prepared for a quick attack towards the girl.

...The night was calm and cold as blood flowed mildly along the pasture. Two fans trashed in the ground, as if it had failed to protect its user. Then and there a dark silhouette of a man grinned victoriously as he carried the limp body, leaving the others behind. "I'll be waiting for you Lord Zilong..." he murmured and scurried off.

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

Meanwhile both Wu and Shu engaged in a stern battle. Huang Zhong took against the Wu commander Zhou Yu, Jiang Wei against Sun Xiang Shang and the tiger general, Zhao Yun battled with the Wu tactician, Lu Xun. Da Qiao, and Sun Ce on the other hand stalled the enemy soldiers, which wasn't at all that much of a bother.

"Old man, my battle isn't with you but with him! Zhou Yu exclaimed, still glaring at the tiger general, Zhao Yun "You impudent whelp! I was also once a tiger general so don't you take me lightly" Huang Zhong replied "(it's your fault in the first place, stupid old geezer)" Zhou Yu thought, as the scene with his Qiao and Zhao Yun kept repeating itself in his mind needlessly.

Zhao Yun on the other hand was parrying his opponent's continuous assaults. "You seem agitated today boy!" he commented "Why shoudn't I!? I'm not a boy by the way!!" Lu Xun resented in his customary poise "...Jealous?" "Now why would I be jealous?" the tactician stammered as the spear general grinned, mischievously "Jealous of me kissing Xiao Qiao or jealous of Xiao Qiao kissing me!?" he asked, liking the fact that he was pissing the boy as Lu Xun turned red in color. Cute. (So that's just it, Zhao Yun likes pissing him off)

"We meet again Lady Wu" Jiang Wei said as the woman nodded and smiled "Ya I guess! But this time I'm sure to win!" she continued, boastfully as they engaged to battle. Both warriors were equally fast but likewise Xiang Shang took offence as Jiang Wei blocked each and every one of her attacks. "Wow! You're even better than the last time" the woman complimented "You aren't pretty bad yourself Lady Wu" "HEY!!! DON' HIT ON MY WOMAN!!" a low voice exclaimed from a distance, catching everyone's attention. Xiang Shang was of course the least bit pleased, kinda embarrassed even as she turned to an intense shade of red.

"Gan Ning! Brother!" Sun Ce barked as he glanced at the 2 generals mounted on fine stallions and were heading their way "What are you doing here!?" Ce continued "Whadya mean by that!?" the pirate asked, suspiciously "Brother is there something wrong?!" Quan then interrupted feeling somewhat amiss "Yes, we thought you attacked Shu's main encampment like that man -!!" Zhou Yu explained cutting short as he realized what was happening. Zhao Yun quickly mounted on his silver stallion "That bastard's a traitor!! Probably of that fatso's" he exclaimed "We must go after him" Jiang Wei added as he glanced at the Wu generals "I'm afraid we will have to postpone our battle for the meantime" he muttered as Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, for once the brash strategist didn't care if he was gonna ally with Shu! He was desperate to save Xiao Qiao.

"Da Qiao, Gan Ning and Sun Quan stay here for backup!" Zhou Yu ordered as his companions complied as he too mounted his steed. "Old man, you too keep guard" the tiger general said "What!? And I'm supposed to baby sit this whelps! I too shall accompany you" "(You've caused me too much trouble already, old man)" Zhao Yun mumbled under his breath "My Lord, our reinforcements will be arriving shortly, we don't want any feud happening while we're gone. As for now both Shu and Wu are in temporary alliance." Jiang Wei explained as Zhou Yu nodded.

The allied forces of Wu and Shu headed to the Shu encampment. They had no soldiers or what so ever following behind them since most were badly injured and needed serious treatment. Nevertheless both Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun had called them back beforehand and settled a peace treaty for the meantime.

As the group rode towards the woods, a figure suddenly spurt out of the bushes. Jiang Wei dismounted his steed, to see who or rather what it was and to his surprise found out it was one of Xiao Qiao's troop. She was badly injured and was at the brink of death, she seemed to have lost much blood, but nevertheless strived to get this far. "What happened" Jiang Wei asked the woman "Lady Qiao...Dong...Zhuo...en-emy...ploy...." was all she was able to utter until she laid dead. "Dong Zhuo's behind this! dammit! I should have known it'd be that old swine!" the tiger general cursed

"Seems like that bastard took a different route" Zhou Yu said, dismounting his steed "This is as far as our horses can go" he continued as he ran towards the woods, Zhao Yun following close behind him "HEY WAIT UP!" Xiang Shang cried out "Doesn't hear you little sis, Zhou Yu's mind is to preoccupied with what do with that Dong Zhuo once he catches him! Hey you think that Zhao Yun guy has a liking to Xiao too, I mean he's equally worried...and well that kiss..." Ce replied, blushing a bit. Xiang Shang shrugged "Who knows...but seems like Zhou Yu will have a rival...I think it's cute. He'll realize how important Xiao is,..." she explained as Ce sighed "(Women...they think of such mush)"

As they soon reached the depths of the woods, Zhou Yu's eyes widened in horror. A female militia of 7 excluding the one before were all dead, and lying on the ground. "Only a demon could have done such a thing!" Jiang Wei exclaimed in disgust as Xiang Shang covered her eyes. Sun Ce and Zhao Yun speechless while Lu Xun bent over to examine the remaining corpses "Seems it happened so fast, they barely knew what hit them" he uttered

"That's right kid, those puny creatures had no idea what hit them and so did SHE!" a male voice interrupted. As a figure came to intact, he had long raven hair tied to a lose ponytail behind his back as a long dark tinted fabric was tied around his forehead to keep his bangs from hitting his stoic face, and those dark brown eyes of that showed his utter lust for blood.

"Long time no see...Zilong..." he mumbled as the tiger general on the other hand was dead serious as he glanced upon the stranger. Or maybe he wasn't such a stranger at least to him that is....?

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

"This is sooo boring! Especially hearing this old man's continuous blabbing" Gan Ning exclaimed "We can't do anything about this, so bare with it for the moment!" Quan interrupted "We could only pray that they all come back safe...Xiao Qiao please be fine" Da muttered as a figure suddenly caught her attention.

"Well, well, well my old man, seems you have lost you touch" a female said out of the blue. "Why you--!?" Huang Zhong exclaimed but was cut short as he saw the enticing woman in front of him as both Gan Ning and Sun Quan on the other hand started to drool when they saw the feminine figure. She was indeed a beauty, her long brown hair reached, almost until her thighs, though it was tied to a neat braid behind her back. She had a beautiful façade, her eyes dark brown and her lips curved and pinkish. She has a nice posture though she wasn't all that tall. She wore a dark red tank top that showed her bellybutton and short shorts. And Behind her stood a small army of fierce looking soldiers, and it was presumed she was one of Shu's summoned reinforcement. Though a woman, she wasn't like all others, she was rather boyish and somewhat reminded them of the strong-willed Lady Sun.

"Whoa! I must be dreaming!" the former pirate said, rubbing his eyes as the female raised a brow at him. "Old man, who are they? Are they your relatives?" she asked. "What!?! Now way! I want to be related with this old fart" Gan Ning exclaimed "Oh. I see then. Well, Lord Jiang Wei asked me to assist you in battle but it seems my arrival was a bit too late?"

"Not at all.... Huang Zhong said as he explained everything to the newcomer.
