The Woman

As Sun Shang Xiang (SSX), was galloping home on her horse, she felt a gentle breeze slid across her face. She felt free and that nothing could stop her. All of a sudden she comes to a immediate stop. Gan Ning put his hand out and asked her if she would marry him. She blushed and then slapped him in the face. He turned around not letting SSX see his grumpy face. SSX got down from her horse and tried to explain but, Gan Ning elbowed her chin.

"Ow! What was that for! I didn't do anything except say no!"

"What do you mean what was that for! You know why I did that! Or is it just you can't stop thinking about how you and Lu Xun are going to get married?"

"Stop it! You know it's not my choice to marry him. But, for all I know he is quite attractive…"

"Oh, go girl talk with Qiao sisters'!"

"Fine I will and I'll be glad to!"

SSX raced off back to Wu. On her way there she was occupied thinking about her arranged marriage, that she didn't notice a tree branch that knocked her off her horse. Gan Ning finally caught up to her and saw her on the ground he picked her up and poured water on her face.

"Who…who am I?"

"Sun! Are you feeling alright?"

"My name is Sun! Whoa baby! I'm named after the sun cool!"

"No, your name is Sun Shang Xiang."

"Ooh."

"You're also getting married to a very special man to have you in his life, his name is Lu Xun."

"Lu Xun…that's an awful weird name."

"Yeah, well we better be off to your home land Wu."

"I own land? Jeez, I must be rich?"

"Yeah, talk about another Xiao."

"Who's that?"

"No one, I'll explain every thing back home in Wu let's just get back home."

"Uh, okay."

As they galloped off to Wu they saw someone getting beaten, Gan Ning was just going to gallop on by but, SSX shouted out "Hey do you need help!" The people looked at her and started coming after her. Gan Ning got off the horse and smothered every ones' faces together. SSX walked over to the man who was bruised all over and removed the eye coverings. Gan Ning looked over and saw the man was Li Dan of Wei. SSX helped him up and asked Gan Ning if she could care for him until he recovered. Gan Ning couldn't help but say yes to such a cute side of SSX.

Back in Wu Lu Xun greeted SSX with a warm hug she embraced the hug and asked him who he was. Gan Ning explained the whole story. Lu Xun was now so nervous if SSX wouldn't like him as much as she did before. But then she didn't like him that much before anyway. SSX asked Lu Xun if he could help her carry Li Dan back to a room. Lu Xun obliged. After wards Li Dan woke up and saw the sun shining but, suddenly he saw a woman's face. He touched her face she took his hand and put it back down.

"You're Sun Shang Xiang?"

"Yes that's correct."

"That means I'm in Wu right?"

"Yes I'm afraid you don't look too good though. And you're in no condition to returning home yet. So I'll be taking care of you for now. If you're hungry then just take my hand."

Li Dan took her hand and she let him lean against her until she got to the dining area. SSX had never seen a man with such a big appetite except for Zhu Xu. She smiled and told Li Dan if he needed anything else he can ask anyone around here they would be glad to help. SSX saw Lu Xun walk by and she ran to him and hugged him from behind. Lu Xun smiled and was sort of glad that SSX had a new side to herself. SSX kissed Lu Xun and went running into the flower fields. Lu Xun watched her as she ran all the butterflies flew up into the air it made SSX look dazzling.

SSX ran over to Lu Xun and told him he can always be himself around her. He smiled and knew that if he was truly himself he would be such a bore to SSX. Lu Xun and SSX fell to the floor and both started giggling. Li Dan walked outside slowly and sat down as he watched the two love birds chase each other back and forth. Suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder it was one of the Qiao sisters' he couldn't tell because the sun was giving him a blind spot. She sat down and he saw it was Da Qiao. She was even prettier in person. He sweetly took her hand and kissed it.

"Thankyou."

"Your welcome. You must be Da Qiao right?"

"Yes I am. But, I should tell you that SSX may develop feelings for you over the time period you stay."

"Huh?"

"You see, she is taking care of you and over time well eventually she will discover new and true feelings for you."

"Oh, I see…and my guess is you don't want me to interfere SSX and Lu Xun right?"

"Yes, you're as bright as they say you are. Do you mind drinking some tea with me today? For my husband is on a trip right now and should be returning home in two days maximum."

"I don't mind, and where is he off to?"

"Yi Ling."

"Way over there!"

"Yes I know it's far but, they don't call him The Little Conqueror for nothing."

"I see…so shall we be off to tea?"

"Yes."

As they left Li Dan had a side ache but, Da insisted that she could help. In doing so she gave him a stick. He sighed but, wondered why the Wu people were being so nice to him. Aren't they supposed to attack him? Oh well as long as they were friendly then he had no problems/worries.

Lu Xun and couldn't remember having this much fun ever since he and his sister gave each other piggy back rides. He wanted this moment to last forever but sadly he knew he would be leaving soon. SSX took his hat off unexpectedly and threw it into the air. Lu Xun and SSX went racing after it until she jumped in the air and caught it. Lu Xun asked her for the hat back but she teased him and said no. Lu Xun gave her a kiss and Sun Jian saw Lu Xun and SSX together. Sun Jian said out loud "Let's start celebrating!" Gan Ning was watching everything SSX did with Lu Xun. He had to admit to himself he was a tad bit jealous.

But, he realized he could never have a chance with SSX. Zhou Yu quietly stepped into the room and jerked Gan Ning in the back. Gan Ning unexpectedly fell to the ground from the roof. SSX helped him up and asked him if he was alright. He brushed off all the dirt and jerked his arm away from her. Sun Jian and Lu Xun exchanged looks. SSX wondered why Gan Ning was acting so strange. So she decided to follow him. As he went back into his room she noticed he was chanting her name over, and over again. SSX realized that Gan Ning liked her she turned around and bumped into Zhou Yu.

"Sorry, Zhou Yu it was my fault but I best be going back down."

"Not so fast SSX."

"What is it? Is there something wrong?"

"Yes. You were frolicking in the meadow with Lu Xun. Before you would never even touch him."

"Well we can't all stay the same forever."

SSX said as she was leaving.

She gave a wink at Zhou Yu and left without a trace. She was walking down the halls when she came to another stop and saw Li Dan with Da Qiao. She couldn't help but, ease drop on their conversation. SSX gave the funniest facial expressions. She wondered what they were talking about and wanted to know so badly. She got closer to them and then Lu Xun came up from behind her and said "Ah…SSX at last I found you!"

"Awe…you spoiled it! I was trying to listen to Da and Li Dan."

"Oops sorry."

"No, it's ok I shouldn't have been doing that in the first place."

Lu Xun patted SSX in the back and walked back into the court yard. Lu Xun took SSX's hand into his and told her what he thought about the marriage. She was happy yet she envied Da Qiao for talking to Li Dan. She hardly even talked to the man but, she was so confused at this moment. Lu Xun started waving his hand in front of her face and she didn't even notice. He sighed and then she snapped out of her own world.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to be so rude I was just thinking."

"No need to be sorry I too have thought about some things."

"About what?"

"Oh, about the next battle that I have to plan out."

"Ooh may I help! I know I've never done it before but, I can always give it a try!"

"Right, then let's go to your father and ask him first."

"Uh ok…"

As they walked they held each other's hands and everyone noticed that SSX had really changed after all. She barely knew anything about Lu Xun know but, she makes it look like they've been together for centuries. Xiao cried "Awe…" and everyone "Shh'ed!"
