Chapter 9: Reunion
As Dong Zhuo left the grounds, Zhou Yu turned his gaze back at Xiao Qiao as she on the other hand had turned red after catching a glimpse of his masculine stature pacing towards her. "Umm..." she stammered feeling a bit uneasy. The Wu commander grinned as he slowly neared "his maiden" in which afterwards he knelt down in front of her "Zh-Zhou Yu-" the girl mumbled but was silenced as the man placed a light finger on her lip. Slowly yet lovingly it soon caressed her pale, stoic face.
"There will be no more interference" he whispered "And I promise to be gentle so...." (^_^ I'm being horny. Hehehe) he continued, as he inched closer and closer and---
"ZHOU YUUUUU!!!!!" a familiar voice cried out desperately from afar.
"(N-not again)" Zhou Yu thought as the girl started to recoil from his touch. He sighed heftily but refused to squander on such an opportunity yet again. Without hesitation the Wu commander suddenly grabbed hold of Xiao's hand and pulled her towards him, catching her lips with his own. The girl's eyes widened, this was the very first time her lord acted a bit "edgy". He never really did kiss her in the lips before...even if he did kiss her it would usually be a simple peck on the cheek or a small gesture in the hand...but despite the differences it all felt good...it always does when he's the one doing it...
As soon as they parted they had their backs turned to each other, obviously embarrassed on their little "happenings" "So much for being gentle ne?" Xiao joked but was replaced by one of her cute innocent smiles "Wo Ai Ni Zhou Yu..." she whispered as Zhou Yu smiled in satisfaction.
"ZHOU YUUUU!!!!! NO TIME TO HIT ON YOUR GAL!!! YA WANNA HELP ME OUT OR SOMETHING!!!" the voice cried again
"I-isn't that Lord Sun Ce's voice?" Xiao asked as Zhou Yu nodded
"I completely forgot, I left him with Lu Bu a while ago and---"
"Ehhhh? I'm surprised that he ain't dead yet!" the girl awed as the Wu commander grabbed her hand
"Lets go, we'll end this battle with Dong Zhuo once and for all...I'll make him pay for all his mishaps!!" he exclaimed as he and Xiao rushed to help Sun Ce.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
"Boyue!! What is the meaning of this!?" Guan Yu exclaimed harshly as he pointed at the youngest child of the Sun family, Sun Shang Xiang "You dare bring this traitor here, and inquire that we send reinforcements to aid the Wu forces?" he continued not even giving the young spear general a chance to explain himself.
"Hey just wait a second here you big lout! First off I really didn't expect much from you Shu people! The only reliant people here are Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei!" Xiang Shang exclaimed furiously "But-since Xiao Qiao is in the lifeline, Lord Jiang Wei suggested that-"
"Enough woman! Do you take us as a bunch of idiots to believe your fraud story?!" Zhang Fei added
"No. I think you 2 bozos are complete idiots since you don't trust even your own ally! To mention that it was a complete mistake to actually come and seek for your help!"
"Um...Lady Wu" Jiang Wei muttered, he was definitely impressed on how the woman talked to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to mention how she defended his well being.
"I will not take insults from this wench! Prepare yourself!" Guan Yu exclaimed taking out his glaive, she on the other hand had turned red in annoyance and anger
"Fine you want trouble, I'll give it to you!" she exclaimed raising her "sol chakrams"
"Guan Yu! Zhang Fei! Stop this intolerance immediately!" a low, calm voice exclaimed, halting to 2 opposing force's movements.
"Brother but this woman-"Zhang Fei started as he stared at Lui Bei
"Lord Huang Zhong has sent a messenger regarding the battles outcome..." the Shu commander stated
"So that old man has some use after all" Xiang Shang growled
"According to him, both Lord Zhao Yun and Lord Zhou Yu of Wu had cooperated on finding the Lady Qiao. It was also alleged that another enemy hostile is in our way to conquest. And if I'm not mistaken, it would be none other that filthy rat, Dong Zhuo"
"Dong Zhuo?! So that bastards behind all these!" Zhang Fei barked
"Indeed, therefore, it would be wise for us to see eye to eye with the Wu forces, am I right my Lady Wu?" Liu Bei explained glancing at the woman then at Jiang Wei who both nodded in compensation. "Send reinforcements and aid the Wu forces! Our encampment will serve as the main base as for now."
Shang Xiang smiled and bowed down as a gesture "I appreciate your help old man! I'm glad that you finally put some sense into that thick head of yours!" she said as Liu Bei raised a brow " Ji-Jiang Wei why don't you and the Lady Wu rest in your tent for the moments time." He said "Guan Yu tell our people to set up the extra tents. Zhang Fei ready our medics, I'm pretty sure that many have been injured" he ordered as the 2 brothers nodded.
"Lady Wu, shall we go?" Jiang Wei asked lending a hand to her as she started to blush
"Ye-yes, Of course!" she stammered but took his offer and let her self be escorted by the gallant Shu general
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
The mighty warrior Lu Bu lunged at Sun Ce, it was a wonder that the Wu general was able to anticipate his opponent's assaults, despite the heavy injuries he had already received.
"Damn, is this guy even human!?" Sun Ce mocked as he continued to defend with his tonfas. One wrong move, and surely he's done for.
"Die! You scum!!!!" Lu Bu gave out a loud battle cry as he lunged his spear from above catching his opponent off guard.
"Shit!" Ce cursed, as he knew well that he wouldn't be able to defend against Lu Bu's final blow nor will he be able to escape the sharp blade which is dread to slice right through him.
The clashing of metal was heard and Sun Ce was dumb founded that he was still alive and breathing "Fancy meeting you here, Ce!" a familiar voice greeted as there in front of him stood the long haired brunette, his long sword colliding with his opponents weapon, halting its deadly assault.
"Zhou Yu! Sure glad to see you!" the Wu general exclaimed as he got up to his feet and grasped his tonfas "Lets end this Zhou Yu!!!" he commanded as his friend nodded and both warriors charged towards their adversary.
"Hn, 2 won't make a difference!" Lu Bu mocked as he simply parried their continuous assaults.
"Hey! Just because I'm small and I'm girl doesn't mean you have the right to ignore me!" a high-pitched voice said from behind as two large metal fans came to view
"Xiao Qiao! Good to have ya back!" Ce replied as Zhou Yu smiled.
"So the little girl's recovered! What of it?!" Lu Bu ridiculed as the girl started to fume
"I'll beat you up to a pulp, just you wait and see!" the girl exclaimed as she joined in battle. Lu Bu growled as he tried to anticipate his enemy's assaults but to no avail. 3 against one, he had most certainly misjudged their skill and dexterity and he knew well that continuing his peruse would be the end to him.
"Damn! Retreat" he ordered his remaining troops then turned towards Zhou Yu "There won't be a next time for you! I'll make sure of that!" he barked as the Wu commander grimaced
"We'll see about that..." Zhou Yu remarked as his gaze adverted to both his allies. "Are both of you all right?" he asked
"Never better!" Ce assured as Xiao nodded. "So what now?"
But even before Zhou Yu was able to reply a male voice called out "Zhou Yu! Sun Ce! Xiao!"
"Eh? Lord Gan Ning!!?" Xiao replied excitedly as the former pirate and an unfamiliar woman came from behind the bushes.
"How've ya been, Xiao! Hope that Dong Zhuo didn't touch ya?" Gan Ning blurted out as the Wu commander gave him a death glare
"Do-don't worry he didn't touch me, really!" this girl stammered, "By the way, who's your friend?" she asked, looking up at the woman.
"Whoa! Where'd you pick up such a cutie!?" Ce remarked as the former pirate grinned and draped an arm around Cobra. "You think so too Lord Ce? Well she's really-ack" Gan Ning tried to explain but was cut off by a hard smack on the cheek.
"What now? What did I do!?"
"Hmph. Can you stop touching me and I can explain for myself thank you very much!" she replied coldly as the trio started to chuckle.
"Wooow! She's really cool!" Xiao complemented as the woman suddenly kneeled infront of her and smiled assumingly.
"You must be Xiao Qiao, Zhao Yun's been musing about?" she whispered to her ear as she turned deep crimson.
"H-he's not!! I-I'm already married you know?" she stammered felling a bit nervous as he caught a glimpse of Zhou Yu's worried facial reaction.
Cobra smiled and stood up "My name by the way is Cobra, from the Shu fleet" she said as the Wu officers took recognition.
"So anyway were too?" Sun Ce asked as the Wu commander shook his head
"Um, if you want I can accompany you to the Shu encampment, to meet up with our Lord" Cobra commented
"That would be nuts! They'll probably behead us or something!" Ce inquired, "Why do you trust us this much by the way missy!"
"Don't call me such louse pet names!" Cobra hissed "But the reason I trust you is because both Lord Zhao Yun and Lord Jiang Wei does right? For me that's reason enough! Just don't try anything funny!" she continued, brushing a few strands of her brownish hair with the tip of her fingers.
"Feisty! Just the way I like it" Gan Ning mumbled as he received another touch-me-and-you-die glare form the brunette.
Zhou Yu sighed "Very well, Lady Cobra, your help would be much appreciated if you could bring us to Lord Liu Bei!" he said as Cobra nodded and led the way
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
After walking for miles a large camp was spotted from afar. "I guess we're here" Cobra informed as they continued on to the Shu encampment.
As they arrived, they were greeted by the Shu commander Liu Bei himself. Along, were both his brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lord Zhou Yu!" Liu Bei said as he offered the Wu commander his hand.
Zhou Yu took it "I am as well, Lord Liu Bei" he gestured "Though I'm afraid we would be needing your help in defeating Dong Zhuo and his massive fleet" he continued as Liu Bei nodded in reply.
"Likewise we need your assistance as well" the older man replied as the 2 heads made a verbal agreement.
"Xiao Qiao!!!!!" a male voice exclaimed as the girl looked around to see Zhao Yun heading her way. He was heavily bandaged as the young tactician Lu Xun had a need to support him. Xiao rushed to him.
"Wh-what happened to you?" she asked in concern as the spear general grinned.
"Just completed some unfinished business!" he replied as Xiao suddenly became teary eyed. "What's the matter twerp?" Zhao Yun mumbled as the girl suddenly hugged him, to his surprise.
"I hate you! You're annoying! Perverted! Brash! And Damn Overconfident! You could have gotten killed you know that!" she cried out
The tiger general smirked but kept her in a tight embrace "Well sorry for being annoying brash and overconfident! But just to tell you, I am not perverted!!" he replied with a hint of sarcasm, as the girl continued to sob in his chest.
Zhou Yu peered at the 2, he was red in color by then and was about to tear the spear general to shreds for touching "his" Xiao! Though it was a good thing that both Sun Ce and Gan Ning were there to hold him off.
