Shu Kingdom

Jiang Wei and Da Qiao were trying to take it easy as their wedding would come by soon. Jiang Wei every morning would hug Da Qiao and give her another gift. This morning would be very different. As Da Qiao woke up she couldn't find Jiang Wei any where. She searched every where except for the garden. She flashed opened the doors and there he was. She noticed he had a sad face on so she approached him slowly but, warmly. She sat down and automatically hugged him. She noticed his hugs weren't warm like they used to be; they're little fake hugs here and there. She couldn't take it any longer.

"Jiang Wei, what is worrying you so much, I must know. For let me share the pain with you at least."

"You remember the wound you patched up?"

"Yes."

"Well, it seems to have scared and that scare has also left a scar in my heart."

"What is happening?"

"Well every time when it comes to battle Xu Huang usually puts scorpion venom on his staff's blade. Do you remember the arrow too?"

"Yes, that was from Xu Huang as well; I am guessing."

"It is indeed."

"So, you mean the wound I patched up has the scorpion venom in you!"

"I'm afraid so. I probably won't be ale to survive after today."

"…"

"I'm sorry I have let you down."

"It's not your fault Jiang Wei. It's mine I should've known! It's my entire fault!"

Jiang Wei moved closer to Da Qiao but before he knew it she was already in his arms. He felt her warm tears soak up in his shirt. She cried her heart out and started taking deep breathes. Jiang Wei knew the truth was going to be hard for her but he had to. She started nodding her head so hard and fast her hair came undone. Da Qiao started repeating "it's my entire fault" so many times that Jiang Wei softly closed her lips together.

"Jiang…sniffle...I love you, I truly do. I…sniffle…want to help you!"

"There is no cure, I'm afraid it's far too late. There's only one way but, I don't want to get others involved."

"Tell me please, I must find some way to help out! I won't let you leave me. Not until our due time together expires!"

Da Qiao leaned forward and kissed Jiang Wei on his lips. She then asked him if it was possible to give some of the venom to her but he slightly nodded a no. Da Qiao's eyes were so puffy Jiang Wei couldn't stand to see her like this. Da Qiao then cut her self a bit and cut Jiang Wei a bit too. He was wondering what she would do next. She waited for Jiang Wei to start bleeding and then she bandaged his wound after collecting some of his blood in a cup. She waited for her wound to stop bleeding. She then mixed her blood with Jiang Wei's and forced her self to drink it down.

(I know Eww right! But it's so tragic!)

Jiang Wei wasn't exactly pleased with what she did but he couldn't stop her. She then said "sorry." He willingly hugged her so tight she went numb. Da Qiao knew she was numb but, she didn't want Jiang Wei to let go. She wanted him to embrace her forever, and never leave her side until they pass on. Da Qiao was aware of what would happen to her but she would let Jiang Wei leave with out her.

Xiao Qiao was at Jiang Wei's door but no one answered. Xiao Qiao left back to Zhao Yun and the little boy. Lu Xun and Pang heard Da Qiao crying so they went to go check on Da and Jiang. They opened the door and saw blood on the floor little droppings. Pang immediately bent down and asked Jiang Wei what happened. Jiang Wei explained how Da and he weren't going to make it to their wedding and Pang started sniffling her self. Jiang Wei asked Lu Xun to marry Pang and take the place of their wedding Lu Xun asked Pang and she gladly obliged. Lu Xun did it as a good-bye and a wedding gift to Jiang Wei and Da Qiao. Pang sent one of Jiang Wei's maids' over to Zhao Yun's home asking them to come immediately. When Xiao Qiao and Zhao Yun arrived at Jiang Wei's place, they saw that Lu Xun and Pang's eyes were grieving over Da Qiao and Jiang Wei. Xiao Qiao looked over at her sister Da Qiao. Xiao Qiao saw so much puffiness in Da Qiao's eyes and pulled her sister away.

"Sister why is it you cry so much your eyes puff out?"

"…"

"So you do not wish to talk to me?"

"No…it's not that. It's…"

Da Qiao just went back inside the room with everyone else. Xiao Qiao asked Zhao Yun what had happened. And he eagerly told her without stopping for a single break. Xiao Qiao's heart stopped pumping at its normal rate. She squeezed the little boy Xiong (that name is in honor of my cousins! So they better appreciate it-). Zhao Yun tried to loosen up Xiao Qiao's grip among the boy until finally Xiao Qiao thumped to the floor. Pang checked Da Qiao's heart beats and Jiang Wei's they weren't doing so good. Pang sent out for doctors but, almost every doctor refused. Except one. Yue Ying came she observed, and tested but, it was far too late. Da Qiao and Jiang Wei wouldn't be able to make it through the night; not unless some miracle came along and just happened. Da Qiao asked if she and Jiang Wei could be alone for a few minutes everyone left into another room.

Da Qiao took off Jiang Wei's shirt and cut open the wound. Jiang Wei screamed but no one came in to interfere. Da Qiao used Jiang Wei's shirt to soak up all the Venom. Luckily, the venom hadn't spread out too far from where the big blob was. She quickly repatched his wound together. He started to breath normally once again. He then called everyone back in. They saw a big amount of blood, and noticed Jiang Wei's shirt was off. He told them Da Qiao had saved him but what about her. Everyone feared that she would've saved him and not save herself. Jiang said to himself "If she took her life for mine, and risked her energy on me just to save me, and let me live on with out her, then…I have to help her too!"

Jiang Wei put Da Qiao on his saddle and they rode off to an unknown village in Shu. Da Qiao slowly had trouble breathing. He got off his horse and took her inside. Jiang Wei asked the man if he could help. The man was kind enough to help Jiang Wei out. Jiang Wei was amazed at what the old man did. Jiang way knew this was sorcery and was against the law but, he didn't care right now. Da Qiao, slowly started recovering and Jiang Wei paid the man a whole ton of money for saving his bride.

The old man was too kind he wouldn't accept the money, but asked Jiang Wei if he could attend his wedding. Jiang Wei got the man another horse and the old man followed. When Jiang Wei had arrived bake in his home town and at his house Pang and everyone were so glad to see him and Da Qiao. The old man stood there watching as everyone celebrated. They all thanked the old man for what he had done. The old man smiled and wished to talk to Jiang Wei alone. Jiang Wei did as the old man asked.

"Jiang Wei, it's been a long time since I last saw you."

"Who are you?"

"I am you grandfather."

"…"

"I'm sorry I never visited or even cared to write you but, look how it turned out. Instead of some crummy old letter we meet in person!"

"Grandfather…I've missed you."

Jiang Wei smiled and hugged his grandfather. Jiang Wei looked back at Da Qiao Zhu Lu was carrying her. Jiang Wei right then and there knew his friends were as good as they could get. And he was thankful for the one thing he loved most in his life, Da Qiao. He quietly said "Da Qiao." And she woke up. Da Qiao, opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Jiang Wei's warm smile towards her. She, could barely move but tried her hardest to keep her arms around Jiang Wei.

Everyone went out and celebrated but, afterwards they all just dozed off to bed. Jiang Wei offered his grandfather to stay at his place but, his grandfather insisted that Jiang Wei and Da Qiao have this night alone after everything that happened earlier. Jiang Wei thank you'd once again and went inside to Da Qiao.
