A/N- Thank you sooo much for the reviews! And I'm so sorry it took so long. College and a blank mind are to blame! I swear! Enjoy!

----------------------------

As Jiang Wei and Zhao Yun made their way down the road less traveled, Zhao Yun glanced over at Jiang Wei.

"So.... Where are we going exactly?" he inquired. Jiang gave a small shrug.

"Where ever my feet take us," he answered.

"Oh...Okay."

"Why? Does it bother you? Or do you need to go somewhere?"

"Huh? Oh, no. I was just curious." At that moment, the sound of clashing weapons drew their attention to the left of their current position. After exchanging brief glances, the two men made their way to where the sound came from. In a clearing were two men in red surrounded by many other men in yellow.

--------------------------

"This is all your fault Gan Ning! If you hadn't decided to try and steal food from these people, we wouldn't be here!" snapped a teen with honeyed hair, mostly covered by a hat, and blazing hazel eyes.

"Well soooorrrrry, but if I remember correctly, somebody was WHINING that they had no FOOD!" growled a young man with spiked chocolate hair and honey eyes as he blocked a spear with his sword.

"Don't you EVEN blame this on me! YOU went on your own; nobody forced you!"

"You might as well have forced me with that evil look of yours!"

"Stupid, ignorant-"swore the younger one before kicking a yellow turban back.

"Shut up and fight. Or did you forget how to, Lu Xun?" taunted Gan Ning.

"Keep that up and your ass is next!"

"Big words for a little wannabe strategist."

"You are such a jerk!"

-------------------------------

Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei looked at each other in confusion.

"They sure do fight like a married couple, don't they?" asked Zhao Yun.

"Yes, I agree. Should we help them?"

"Your choice."

"Might as well, we could get directions from them," noted Jiang, shrugging slightly.

"Maybe we should see if they need help first."

"Sure."

Zhao walked out of the bushes and looked at the two warriors. Everybody tensed and looked over at the new intruder, waiting to see what would happen.

"Hey, do you two need help?" Zhao asked. Lu Xun and Gan Ning paused, then looked at each other, standing up out of their fighting stances.

"Do we?" inquired Lu Xun.

"I donno. We have been doing quite well so far."

As the two talked it over, the yellow turbans exchanged looks amongst themselves before one coughed.

"Excuse me, can we hurry this up? We're due to another battle in, like, thirty minutes," said one. Lu Xun glanced over with a look of confusion. He realized what was going on and nodded in remembrance.

"Oh, yeah, sorry about that." He turned his gaze to Zhao Yun. "Sure, you can join. So can your little friend behind you."

"I am taller than you are!" snapped Jiang, upset at being teased.

"No, you're not."

Jiang jogged over and stood in front of him before lifting his hand to his head, and keeping it at that level, moved it over Lu Xun's head.

"See? I'm at least an inch taller!"

"Oh. Must've been the slope."

"Excuse me! It's rude to ignore someone you were fighting!" snapped a Yellow Turban.

"Calm down! We're ready to fight." Gan Ning brushed him off with a wave of his hand.

"My Children! Come, it is time to move on!" came a bellow. The Turbans sighed.

"Now look what you did! You took so long we have to go now!" pouted one.

"Sorry," said Zhao as the Turbans dragged themselves away from the field, dejected.

"So.... You are....?" asked Lu Xun, sheathing his twin blades.

"Oh, how rude of us. I'm Jiang Wei. That is Zhao Yun." Jiang motioned to the warrior who gave a small wave.
"I am Lu Xun and that is Gan Ning."

"Nice to meetcha," smirked Gan Ning.

"Wow. A pirate!" noted Jiang Wei.

"Yeah. I bought him in a store by the water. There weren't many warriors there. Just him and this guy bitching about how the Shao family deserves more respect. I got Ning for a discount."

"Really? How much?"

"Well, the store owner wanted a shield, so I found one and traded it for him."

"That's great. I got mine, like, two days ago. They're very reliable."

"Yeah. I got tired of carrying all my stuff. An extra hand helps."

"So...where are you going?" asked Jiang, switching subjects.
"As of now, we have no destination."

"Yeah, he can't make up his friggin' mind," muttered Gan Ning.

"Be quiet," snapped Lu Xun.

"Well, do you want to travel with us? We're just exploring," asked Jiang Wei.

Lu Xun shrugged. "I don't see why not. It's not like we have any other plans."

"Well then, let's go!" said Gan Ning, placing a hand on Lu Xun's shoulder.
