Dynasty Warriors : Rise of the Wang Empire
******************************************************
Death's Head - I do not own Dynasty Warriors 3. Koei and THQ have that honour. All I own is a copy of Dynasty Warriors 2 and 3. This is my first Dynasty Warriors fanfic, so if you flame me for it, please be gentle.

Chapter One :
Inside one of the rooms, of Wu leader Sun Jian's palace :
Zhou Yu sighed to himself as he stretched his arms above his head. He had been looking over province maps and studying the locations of Shu and Wei outposts. Ever since the battle of the Hu Lao Gate, when the combined Ally forces, fought against the despot Dong Zhuo, the allied forces had splintered back into their original forces. He had advised not only his friend and sword brother Sun Ce, but also his lord, Sun Jian, to restrengthen their weakened forces and nearby outposts.
He leaned his arms on the table and rested his head on his arms. He had been awake since early afternoon the day before, and his body ached. He let his eyes close, and sighed to himself.
*Just a little nap, and I'll continue my work.*
The door to his study opened, and a young woman walked into the room. She smiled as she saw Zhou Yu, and crept up behind him. She reached her arms onto his shoulders, and started to massage his muscles. Zhou Yu woke and turned his head.
"Wha?"
The woman smiled again, and kissed him on the cheek.
"You've been working too hard my love. You need to rest, take some time off."
Zhou Yu smiled as he considered her words.
"Some rest… I guess your right my dear. But then again," he turned in his chair and faced her "You're right about a lot of things Xiao."
Xiao Qiao, sat on Zhou Yu's lap, arms around him.
"Why don't we go for a horse ride? Just the two of us?"
Zhou Yu nodded.
"I suppose a quiet afternoon ride would be nice. I need to get out of this room, and relax for a bit."
Xiao stood up and looked at him.
"Well? Shall we go then?"
Zhou Yu smiled again, then stood and walked over to her. Together, the two lovers left the room, talking quietly to each other. Unaware of what they would find.

Death's Head - Yes, part of this story will focus on Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao. Why? They're my two favourite Wu characters. BUT! Heh, heh, heh, the next chapter has my own personal favourite Shu warrior in it. Heh, heh, heh, I like him for one simple reason, he's… I won't spoil it for you, dear reader. You're just gonna have to wait and see just who it is. R&R please.
