Chapter 12: Bad Dreams and the Dangers of Cross Dressing
**
Disclaimer: I don't own them.
Warning: Lu Xun cross dressing chapter. Xiao Qiao gets some chapter. I blame this chapter on a nightmare I had, honestly. Stop staring at the screen like that!
**
Wei Yan sighed and pondered what new humiliation Zhuge Liang had cooked up for him. The first week had been the stables. The second week was latrine duty with its abnormal smells, what were they feeding the Shu army anyhow?
The masked warrior had no doubt that he was on Zhuge Liang's list of people to fire. He held up the squirming bundle to the light. Why did it keep on trying to eat him? He glared at Liu Bei's son, Liu Shan, only to have the child reach out for his mask, again. Yes, Zhuge Liang was definitely upset with him.
The child wasn't the cutest he had ever seen, but at least it was used to rough treatment. Cooing, it reached snotty hands out for him. Ugh. Disgusting. He took one of the rags that he had been advised were the child's clean washrags and wiped at its nose's for the thousandth time. It instantly began screaming, shaking its head this way and that. Apparently the brattling liked its nose dirty.
Oh he would have his revenge yet. First he was going to kill Jiang Wei. It was his job to watch the child until they reached safety. But he had apparently been caught out late last night. His punishment? To clean the latrines. In Wei Yan's point of view, Jiang Wei had gotten off scot-free. Shit didn't talk back. Shit didn't try to grab a hold of you. Shit didn't try to suck at your fingers and chest. Maybe Liu Bei wanted him gone as well?
Sighing, Wei Yan changed the eighth diaper of the day. Apparently whatever had upset the soldiers' stomachs so much had not bypassed the child. The thought of washing out one more diaper so the child would have another clean one to mess up made him shudder. Why couldn't diapers just be thrown away after a use? He tied the diaper securely on, thinking back to earlier when the child had managed to piss right on his face. Better yet, why didn't they come potty trained?
"Wei Yan! How goes Shan's care?
The urge to shove the baby at the man and flee was strong. "He good. Me think he miss Jiang Wei and you." He looked at his new ruler hopefully.
The man ignored the look; instead he leaned over and kissed the baby's head. "Yes, since his mother sacrificed her life for him, he has seemed sad."
The child began screaming at the top of his lungs. Well, he guessed the kid looked sad. Compared to his own miserable childhood, Liu Shan had it made, even if he only had men to raise him. The look on Liu Bei's face though wormed its way into his head. The man had enough worries without thinking that no one wanted to deal with his kid. "You marry Lady Sun. He have mother."
The color raced from Liu Bei's face. "Yes, Lady Sun. I have never seen here or heard of anyone who remembers seeing her. I wonder what type of mother she will make." Liu Bei turned away from him muttering, "I wonder what kind of wife she'll make."
Wei Yan's mind went back to all the Wu generals he had ever meet: Lu Xun, Da Qiao, and Sun Quan. More than likely it would be some obedient, meek, dutiful, boring, beautiful woman who would know the proper way to raise a child. He was saved!
"Me know middle brother. Very honorable."
Liu Bei brightened. "That's good to know. I know her father and eldest brother. They seem so - feisty. I've been wondering if I would be able to handle a woman with their," he paused, seeming to search for words, "unique temperament."
Well he had never had the honor of meeting the Tiger or his son prodigy. "They have honor?"
Liu Bei nodded. "I would rather they join me trying to restore the Han Dynasty. If so I know it would easily be brought back. They are incredibly honorable."
"Then no worry. Woman have honor, you work on other things." He smirked. "Feisty fun sometimes." Liu Bei actually blushed at that one.
He felt a hand pat him on the back. "Thank you Wei Yan for eilevating some of my fears. I must go now, but I will try to find help to aid you with your task today."
As he watched the lord of Shu disappear around the corner he felt a smile on his face. No lord, perfect, warlord, or anyone in charge had ever praised him for anything off the battlefield before. It felt good to be noticed for once for something beyond the amount of people he had killed.
Maybe being a member of Shu wasn't going to be so bad after all?

Lu Xun sat fuming on a crate. How had he gotten to this point again? Oh yes, he had opened his big fat mouth. He turned a molten glare towards Zhou Yu. His fellow strategist just smiled warmly at him, then straightened out the lovely red and gold kimono, and patted the fat red hair bow back into place.
Not even the indignity of being dressed as a woman could faze his commanding officer it seemed. As for Lu Xun, he felt the make up they had applied earlier already beginning to sweat off in the heat while the pale lavender kimono tried its best to show off a portion of his ankles.
Damn Zhou Yu for being so pretty! And damn himself for being young enough that he hadn't grown a beard yet. No one would ever think that they were ladies in waiting to Lady Sun.
"Psst. Hey sweetheart," A voice rose slightly over the noise of the crew bustling around the deck of Zhou Tai's ship. "Sweetie? You there in the lavender?"
He turned towards the sailor, fully expecting the man to tease him about the outfit.
"Do you have someone waiting for you at home?" The man was missing more than one tooth and reeked of fish.
Lu Xun knew his jaw must have hit his chest. For the first time in his life, Lu Xun couldn't think of a single thing to say. No plan formed in his mind beyond filling Zhou Yu and Sun Ce with flaming arrows, or better yet dropping them at the bottom of the ocean. The only thing he could do was stare.
The man chuckled. "Knew I wasn't that bad looking." He ran a greasy hand through his hair. "How about you and me get together below decks-"
"She's taken." Gan Ning swaggered over and draped an arm across his shoulders. "Aren't you sweetness?"
A sharp pinch of pain brought him back to his senses. With a start, he nodded mutely.
The man's eyes grew huge. "Sorry sir! Didn't know the woman was one of yours!"
Gan Ning snorted at the man.
"I mean - I - Going back to work now!" The man whirled away, leaving only the scent of fish behind.
Zhou Yu pulled out a fan made of gray feathers and began to giggle behind it. Lu Xun glared at him. Oh, he could tell that the strategist was enjoying this now. He would get him back for this if it was the last thing he did!
** Someone had finally come to relieve him for some sleep. It seemed that, miracle of miracles, the young child slept through most of the night. No even sleep would allow peace for Wei Yan's troubled mind though. His nightmares were always the same. He sat in the room from his youth. The floor was dirt, if it could be blessed with such a grand word to describe it. It consisted of more cow shit then anything else. The windows had long been boarded up to hide his presence. Light was forbidden in the room, the very darkness seeming to suck it greedily away from him.
He reached out a hand and snatched a cockroach from off the floor. They always wiggled around too much for his taste. He popped it into his mouth, the cockroach made one last valiant effort to escape his teeth. Wei Yan shoved the struggling legs back in his mouth, grimacing at the taste The next time food was left for him, he would have to make sure it lasted longer.
Last longer? Who was he kidding? It wasn't his ability to stretch food. No. The food was being brought less often. He fingered the collar around his neck, tracing the metal chain that attached to the wall. Which would come first? Starvation or Madness?
Did it matter? He and madness were already on intimate terms. Starvation would be an improvement from his current situation, and he would at least be away from the man's mumblings. He knew the words meant something, but he knew so few words that he wasn't sure exactly what the man talked about all the time. It had been so long since he had last seen someone besides the man.
The tall dark figure came thumping down the stairs. It glared at him, muttering about murder and shame. Faster than he could dodge, a leg came out, kicking him once, twice, three times in the ribs. Red-hot pain coursed through his side. Something was broken again. He would have to find a way to bind it later. A rusted bucket was tipped over his head, allowing water colder than the man's heart to wash over him. Twice the man disappeared only to reappear with more frigid water in the bucket.
"Good enough." The man mumbled then dragged him forward. With one fluid movement the knife came out. It flashed forward to slice the thin shirt off his body. "Might get something for you after all." The man went to the wall and unchained his leash.
The collar tightened as the man yanked at it. "Come on. Getting rid of you at last." His legs fell out from under him, too weak to even hold his weight, much less allow him to walk.
The man shrugged, then with a quick grab, he hefted the child's legs up and dragged him over to the steps.
"This might hurt a bit, murder. Hopefully it won't kill you. I'll let time have my revenge for me."
Wei Yan struggled against the man, but his strength was sapped. He felt himself in the odd position of being vertical with the stairs, and then his head slammed down onto the back of the first step, catching his head on the sharp corner. He gave a yelp of protest.
"Shut up." The man kicked one foot back, never watching where it landed.
Eyes streaming with tears, he saw a sight that had been withheld form him for over eight years, light. He was thrust out into it, the glorious rays lovingly radiating down on him. He turned, expecting to see the first man he was sold to. Instead, he saw a short man dressed in green, Lord Liu Bei. Beside him stood the strategist, Zhuge Liang, complaining about the price. Well this was certainly interesting and different.
Huang Zhong was in the background. "There's my boy! Hurry up and buy him so I can take care of his 'father'." There was a gleam in his eyes that Wei Yan remembered from battle. He held his sword in one hand looking as though he was considering chopping the man up right then and there.
A cluster of Shu generals stood in back. "He's not worth it. He'll never amount to anything." He heard the whispered words from them.
On the other side of he clearing was his first owner, a vile man with a farm. The only good thing about the man had been that he had loved the female portion of the human race too much to even consider using him for other things besides farm work.
The man he vaguely remembered calling once father broke the silence. "Shall we begin the auction?"
**
"Wake up," the voice was bubbly, and a little bit too happy. Lu Xun mumbled something in his sleep and turned over. "See, I told you that he wasn't awake."
Wait! He was dressed as a woman, who would know-
"How did you know it was me?" Zhou Yu was no longer using his false high- pitched voice.
"Your eyebrows silly!"
Lu Xun dared to squint his eyes open. Xiao Qiao sat on the bed beside Zhou Yu, who was pouting.
"My eyebrows?"
"Don't you get it yet? I know you so well that I could spot you in any crowd!" The young woman bounced on the bed.
"And do you plan on telling anyone else that I am here in disguise?"
The young woman smiled. "Maybe."
Zhou Yu frowned. "As your future husband-"
"You didn't let me finish!" Her pout was one of the cutest things Lu Xun had ever laid eyes on. "I'll keep quiet for a price."
Zhou Yu arched one eyebrow. "And what would that price be?"
"A night in your bed," she pulled the robe off. Even in the pale moonlight there was no doubting she was nude. "That is if you don't object, master."
"I-This is highly improper. Besides Lu Xun is sleeping right there."
"He's asleep, and if he wakes up he's more than welcome to take notes, Master."
"And why are you calling me master?"
Lu Xun could tell that the young Qiao was smiling, even though his eyes were still shut.
"Sun Ce told me."
"But-we aren't marr-"
The strategist was cut off in mid-sentence. Noises sounding remotely like a slurp filled the air for what seemed like hours, then his fellow strategist's moans filled the air.
Unbidden, images filtered into Lu Xun's mind of Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao-STOP IT! Stop it! Stop it! He mentally began reciting the pros and cons of each kingdom's armies in his head.
"Damn it. At least give me a chance to get my clothes off." There was a purr in Zhou Yu's voice now. "My naughty naughty slave."
No no no no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please someone make it stop!
The air was soon thick with muttered, "Oh master!"s and "Naughty slave."s
Lu Xun's cheeks burned maroon with embarrassment. He managed to roll over and cover his face with a pillow. It was going to be a long night.

*SCREAMS IN HAPPINESS* I don't know who sent me the picture. (Long story involving: me, a stray cat, a computer with a virus, two co-workers, and five children.) But the picture is ADOREABLE! Please, please, please try to figure out which webpage you found it on. It's just so *turns into Zhang He* beautiful! I knew Wei Yang and Yue Ying would look adorable together. Yue Ying looks too cute in that pink kimono and the look on Wei Yan's face is perfect for "Help-me-I'm-dazed/dreaming-there's-a-female-on-my-arm-and- she's-happy-to-be-there!" And he looks very bishi like in that picture definitely. Anyhay, please e-mail me back! *great huge mama jamming puppy dog eyes of mass cuteness* well plus *dangles all dynasty warriors in front of you* Hehehe, I'm a sucker for fan art with Wei Yan in it. ^_^
Crimson Rogue: Lu Xun in a dress is kinda scary in my eyes. Then again I have to admit if he wore a kilt........I'll try to hurry up and update. My evil comp is almost fixed.
Taiashou: Thanks for the compliments! Liu Bei isn't that old. I'm actually de-aging the guy a tad bit. I've read in a few places that he was a man of few words though loved by the people. Not sure if I'm portraying him right or not. I think he needs a tad bit of character building before the wedding.
Glad you like Wei Yan *holds up a 'Love a caveman' sign* Must admit I love Yue Ying. She's my favorite female character. Have this horrible bad feeling she's going to be all lovey dovey with Zhuge Liang in X-treme Legends. WAH!
Actually I adore Dun. I love the pretty boys but they're TOO pretty for me. Give me a tough guy any day of the week. I actually think Dun would be cute with Zhu Rong, but that's just me. He would be cute with Zhen Ji. Actually I've seen a few fics of that nature around here. For some odd reason I adore the whole Zhen Ji/Ma Chao though. PLEASE don't ask why. They're getting together in another fic I'm working on.
Yukira: Sorry you have writer's block. I actually have no clue what Lady Sun is planning, but she scares me! I'm hitting a bit of writer's block myself. Not sure how I'm going to get around it or the comp problem yet. ;_;
Chunsa: Lady Sun hasn't meet Liu Bei next. He's worried about things as well. Plus both are going to start hearing rumors soon thanks to Sima Yi's evil spy! Jiang Wei has some chapters coming up soon. He's a hard man to pin down. You could go visit him down in the latrine though. :op Seriously though, the man will be showing up soon.
