The Tiger cries in the Rain
A Dynasty Warriors Fanfic
This timeframe is in Dynasty Warriors 4 -The Two Qiaos. I warn you, it is romantic.
Disclaimer: I don't own Dynasty Warriors, nor the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
When Zhou Yu foundout that Xiao Qiao had been kidnapped along with Da Qiao, he made a plan with Sun Ce, his best friend. They would save their beloveds, and at the same time, make a fool out of that rat, Dong Zhou.
It was aproxiamtely eleven, and the two "heroes" were outside the gate of Dong Zhou's castle.
"You take the Eastern path, I'll take the North." Zhou Yu said.
Sun Ce nodded.
What he didn't know was that the door on the Southern side was unlocked. All's fair in love and war.
Zhou Yu crept in the gate, but as he crept,he saw a shadow jump overhead.
He turned and chased after it.
------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Ce was pissed. He was greeted by the Welcoming Wagon, as some would put it. Luckily for him, there was another stranger beside him clad in black.
"Who are you? "
The stranger in black raised his axe and grumbled. He motioned toward the row of soldiers.
Sun Ce nodded.
They charged, and the stranger fought brutally. Sun Ce went for painless and quick death, but this other guy was out to crush any resistance.
After the soldiers were gone, Sun Ce walked up to the stranger, who recoiled a little, almost ashamed.
"Who are you?" Sun Ce asked again, this time with a tad of frustration in his voice.
The stranger removed his mask and hood.
It was Dian Wei. "I'm here on.. business.." Wei tried to pass off.
Sun Ce gave him a look that could have shattered glass.
Dian Wei shrugged . " All right, I'm the backup man for a friend who wants to rescue his girlfriend. "
Sun Ce smiled."Me too. 'Cept I wanna get the other one."
Dian Wei laughed. "Well, I don't know about you, but I just wanna get the job over with."
Sun Ce seemed to agree. "So, who's your friend out to get his girl?"
Dian Wei shrugged. "I'm not supossed to tell ya that. Let's just say he has...connections."
Sun Ce pondered for a moment. "Fair enough. Well, are you willing to help me with freeing the Qiao girls?"
Dian Wei smiled. "Ahhh, What the hell?"
The two ran off into the castle.
Zhou Yu was catching up to the shadowy figure. It swerved right, so he followed. Then, it hid behind a tree, not seeming to notice the Strategist.
Zhou Yu sighed, backed up, and jumped into the tree.
The figure looked around, and saw no one.
So, the figure shrugged and removed her mask.
It was Xiao Qiao!
Zhou Yu actually fell out of the tree, onto the ground.
She gasped. "Zhou Yu! What are you doing here?"
Zhou Yu smacked himself in the forehead. "Uhhh...rescuing you?"
She smiled. "Too bad. That's not necessary."
Zhou Yu got on one knee. "Xiao, I love you so very much.. and...I want you to be my..."
She raised her hand to stop him.
"My heart belongs to another." She said defiantly.
"Who!" Zhou Yu burst, angered that it wasn't him. And after all that planning, too! Damn.
She looked at the sky dreamily. "My rescuer."
Zhou smacked his forehead and let loose. " WHAT! I'M YOUR RESCUER! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!"
She recoiled a little, surprised that the eloquent man actually could yell.
"He was so dreamy...It was love at first sight. And he swept me away from that bastard, Dong Zhou."
"WHO!" Zhou Yu asked.
Then, another figure strode out of the shadows.
"Why, It's me, of course." he said.
"Dunny! You're back!" Xiao yelled affectionately.
"Dunny?" Zhou Yu asked, only a bit sarcastically.
The figure bowed and introduced himself. "Xiahou Dun, at your service."
