She looked up at the flush colored blossoms. She smiled. Oh, how she loved times like this… Early morning and only the sounds of morning birds singing filled the air. She opened her hands to catch a cherry blossom in her hands. She looked at it. The lands of Wu were indeed wonderful. A wonderful time like this when there was no war…only peace throughout the land. For she wished to share it with someone…Sun Ce.

He was the reason she fought. So they could live together or travel the lands of Wu together.

She felt a warm hand on her shoulder at that very moment.

"It's times like this when you think about fighting and how worth it it is at the end…"

"Agreed, Ce…"

Ce, The one who saved her many times. The one that she enjoys being with…The one she loved.

He sat next to her and joined her in watching the blossoms and she rested her head on his shoulder. She closed her eyes and blew the blossom out of her hands.

Stay with me till the end?

Always…

"Da, we all fight for reasons…Yu fights for the sake of Wu and Xiao, Ning fights for the fun of it, Xun fights to prove himself, and Quan fights for dreams…"

She looked up at him.

"You know what I fight for?"

His gaze met hers

"I fight for my father's dream…but mostly for the one I love…"

He gave her a warm smile that she couldn't resist blushing. She turned her head away.

"And who might that be?"

"I fight for you…"
