Chapter 10: Settling Down
The evening was peaceful enough for the allied fleet to settle down even for a bit. Due to the outcome of the previous battles both Wu and Shu's troops were equally depleted not to mention most were badly injured and was currently being mended by different medics.
A meeting was held in Liu Bei's private marquee. Zhou Yu as the Wu representative was of course invited to join in along, with him was the 2nd of the Sun siblings, Sun Quan.
"Where are Ce, and the others?" Zhou Yu asked as they waited for the Shu commander
" I'm not really sure" Quan replied "Though I saw him a while ago, hand in hand with Da Qiao!"
"Dammit! I can't believe him! Damn flirt!"
"What? Don't tell me you're Jealous, Zhou Yu?" the Wu general smirked
"Hmph! I'd do anything to be with Xiao Qiao right now...but obviously I'm stuck being here!" was the man's blatant reply
"I pity you Zhou Yu, but unfortunately being allotted commander has its pains! But don't worry it'll only take a few hours of so!"
"Seriously..." Zhou Yu complained under his breath
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Meanwhile Xiao Qiao decided to pay a little visit to the renowned tiger general of Shu. On her way, she saw the spear general, Jiang Wei along with Sun Shang Xiang. "Lady Sun!" Xiao waved a hand as woman smiled and approached her.
"Xiao! Why aren't you with Zhou Yu? Don't tell me that aloof abandoned you again"
"No. No. No. You see, he's in a meeting with Lord Liu Bei"
"Oh! Well just you tell me if he'd hurt you again! And I'm sure to kick his ass!"
The girl smiled and nodded "So where are you 2 headed? A date I suppose?" the girl teased as the 2 turned red
"O-Ofcourse not!"
"We're just gonna visit Lord Zhao Yun. He's with Lu Xun right now"
"They're together?"
"Yes. Lord Lu Xun's seems to be taking good care of him" Jiang Wei grinned " shall we see for ourselves?" he asked as the 2 females nodded in excitement.
They came inside the tent to see the tiger general sitting upright in bed while the Wu tactician; Lu Xun mended him of his wounds.
"C-can you be a little more gentle" Zhao Yun complained as Lu Xun tightened the bandaged around his torso
"You have 2 broken ribs if I may inform you!" the youth explained " Besides this is what you get for acting so rashly! Oh and did I mention that, that was the most absurd thing I saw anyone do?"
"Why? All I did was fight Li Shun then got beaten up. Isn't that normal in battle"
"Yes, but-" Lu Xun protested but was cut off
"Don't tell me you're worried about me?" Zhao Yun snickered
"That's insane! Why would I be worrying about someone who I barely even know!"
"Let's see...because you're attracted to me?" the spear general teased, having fun on actually toying with the "boy" who was blushing like mad every time he said something of such.
"I AM NOT!!!!!" Lu Xun yelped
"Hehehe, Lu Xun's so red! Cute!" a petite voice said from the entrance the 2 officers glanced around to see Xiao Qiao along with 2 others.
"Lord Zilong! Please stop teasing Lord Lu Xun!" Jiang Wei's voce followed as he came into view with the youngest Sun sibling, Sun Shang Xiang who were both grinning.
Zhao Yun merely chuckled "So, any reports about Dong Zhuo?" he asked, glancing at his companion
"Our scouts say he had fled south, and is seeking refuge with the Nanman"
"So that creep is gonna ally with the Nanman" Shang Xiang asked
"I'm afraid so, lady Wu, as much as we want this battle to end. That corrupt Dong Zhuo will stop at nothing to bring us down'
"What is our plan then?" Lu Xun asked politely
"Prime minister is discussing that with Lords Zhou Yu and Sun Quan! For the meantime all he asks of us is to take it easy"
"How can we take it easy if that mean, good for nothing pig is on the lose!?" Xiao pouted
"Its not as if we can do anything more, twerp!" the tiger general replied "Just stay on your guard!" he commanded as his companions nodded in agreement
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
"Can you stop following me! BASTARD!" Cobra yelled
"Why not, Love?" Gan Ning questioned in sarcasm
"Because it's really annoying!"
"Weird, most women would go begging me to make love with them. Why not you?"
"Well, I'm sorry for not being like your 'other women'! And one more thing I have no intention of doing such folly especially with an idiot like yourself!" Cobra exclaimed stomping inside a tent, the former pirate still in her tail "Do you mind!?"
"Mind what!?"
"How simple minded can you be? I'm gonna change so go away?!" the girl fumed as Gan Ning simply sat in the edge of her bed
"Go Ahead, I can simply sit here and watch-" he snickered but was soon met with a hard SLAP in the face "What did you do that for!?"
"PERVERT!!! Get out before I get pissed and slice you into several bits!" she threatened, unsheathing 2 of her daggers.
"Let' see you try! Promise I won't be moving from this position" the former pirate dared, rubbing his soar cheek. A malicious grin, plastered in his handsome façade.
"Fine then!" Cobra exclaimed as she walked towards the man, "I'll make sure your death would turn out fast yet painless." She continued as she stopped right in front of him and suddenly drawing the 2 sharp knives above his head and preparing for the assault without hesitation.
Gan Ning on the other hand remained calm as he simply sat there. The sharp razor soon came right at him; but before in even made contact with a strand of his hair, he quickly grasped Cobra by the wrist, halting her from continuing the fatal attack. He hardened his grip as the girl gritted her teeth, relentlessly letting go of the blade.
Gan Ning smiled contentedly "See what I mean, you maybe strong, but you'll never out match Gan Ning of the bells" he mocked, suddenly pushing the brunette to the bed and pinning her there, straddling her legs soon after. He grinned victoriously as he leaned over to the girl, then kissing her lightly in the lips. By the time he pulled away he noticed the smirk in the woman's face. "You tasted sweet, love. I proposed you liked that as much as I did?"
Cobra remained motionless, but with one swift shift she raised her knee, hitting the former pirate in his most sensitive part (I bet all of you guys know where that is right? Hehehe, sorry I'm being kinda naughty!) Making him fall back and wince at the pain. Cobra took this opportunity to move and stand up as She touched her lips with her thumb seductively while gazing at the former pirate "I appreciated your chaste kiss! But do that again, and I'll make sure, to hit you harder THERE! Hmph!" she smirked before proceeding outside
"Damn woman!"
~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
After several hours, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan were dismissed. They had worked on a fool-proof strategy the whole evening and by then the Wu commander was completely exhausted! "Zhou Yu! So Here's your chance go and find you maiden!" Quan teased, elbowing the general
"I'll do just that! Victory is sure to be ours, after which everything would be back to the way it was!"
"You think too much Zhou Yu! Well, I'll be seeing you later!"
"Where are you going?"
"Well, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei invited me to the tavern! Those 2 muscle bound oafs are not as bad once you get to know them" Quan replied as Zhou Yu simply smiled
"Do as you wish, my lord." And with that the 2 went different ways. Zhou Yu walked along the grounds not sure on where he was going. He wasn't at all to familiar with the Shu campus; it was a whole lot different from that of Wu's after all.
"Zhou Yu!" a female voice said from afar as he glanced at the approaching figure of his Qiao.
"Xiao Qiao! How did you find me?"
"I came by the main pavilion, and well, I saw lady Yue Ying there, she said that you were long gone so I decided to look for you and here you are!" the girl said gleefully
"Sorry it took me a while!" Zhou Yu apologized as the younger Qiao simply nodded, her cheeks turning bright red.
"So, how did it go?" Xiao asked, facing the older man
"Boring!" she heard him say as she on the other hand simply giggled, "So what have you been up too, little miss?"
("Hey don't move around to much they'll spot us") a mumbling sound came from behind the bushes
"Huh? Well, I've been with Lu Xun and Zhao Yun most of the evening..." she said truthfully
The Wu commander frowned "(Zhao Yun?) Xiao Qiao do you lik-"
("Da, are you alright?") Another murmuring sound said as Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and approached whoever was spying on them. He glared to see both Sun Ce and Da Qiao bickering behind the said shrubbery
"Si-Sister!" Xiao exclaimed, catching the 2's attention
"Hey Zhou Yu! Xiao!" Sun Ce waved as Zhou Yu simply raised a brow.
"What may I ask are you doing there?!" he questioned coldly
"We were um..." Ce reasoned
"You were spying weren't you?"
"Spying? Whatever gave you that idea?" the man laughed, jumping out of the shrubbery and helping Da as well.
"Some reason that was Ce? What are you 2 up to?"
Su Ce chuckled "Nothing! We were just listening to your um... "Intimate" conversation, right Da?"
The girl nodded "I never really thought that Lord Zhou Yu is indeed very sweet. You're very lucky little sister" she teased
"Sister! Please stop that!" Xiao yelped, now turning very red
"Xiao Qiao, do you-do you like---" Sun Ce repeated Zhou Yu's previous words, adding a few smooching sounds making the couple blush even harder
"DAMN YOU SUN CE!!!!!!!" The Wu commander exclaimed, drawing out his sword and chasing after his companion, the 2 Qiao sisters giggling at their so called "mature" husbands
Soon after, nighttime came as the allied forces had finally decided to get some shuteye ...tomorrow, the final battle shall be held, victory was sure to be theirs? Or will it?
