Chapter3: A Rainy Night
After a long party, everyone slept in but the Yi sisters. They walked out of there rooms, at the same time, to go and wash up.
(Back Flash, before the Ceremony, after the Duels)
"Here are your rooms," said Sun Shang Xiang as she showed the Yi sisters their separated rooms. "Ya' know we're very pleased to have some new officers in this place. We hope with the help of you girls we'll be more victorious," said Sun Shang Xiang. "Thank you, Lady Sun, we're very flattered and that you've taken us in also too," said Niang. "No problem, Lady Bao!" said Xiang, "and please don't call me by 'Lady', it makes me sound old." "Alright, but then you mustn't refer to my sister and I by 'Lady' also. Deal?" "You got it, Niang!" agreed Xiang.
(Back Flash Over...)
"Ah, good morning, Girls," said Xun walking by them. "Morning," replied the Yi's. As the sisters walked pass by Xun he quickly and gently grabbed Lin's right arm with out Niang noticing.
"Hmmm…?" she stared and Xun confusingly, "something wrong?" "I need to talk to you soon. Meet me in the backyard an hour before lunch time," he ordered. Lin nodded, "Thanks, Lin," he responded. Then they left.
"Heh, heh, heh…." cackled a familiar voice. "Huh?" Lin looked aside and saw Xiao Qiao hiding. "Oh it's you," Lin said, "Do you need anything?" "Yeah, what's going with Lu Xun and you?" "Umm… Not sure. Why?" "Not much except I think you two like each otha'," "Not true, Xiao! We've only met yesterday and were just staying as friends!" "Hah! That's what I told Sun Ce when he told me that Zhou Yu and I had deep feelings for each other before we became a couple. giggles Anyways, I wanted to congratulate you for being here," said the little Qiao. "Well… okay. Thanks," Lin said.
After everyone finished washing up, they had breakfast. Lin sat next to Xun on his left, on Lin's left there sat Niang, Xiao, Yu, Da and Ce, of course, all sat next to each other. Sun Jian sat next to Sun Quan as Xiang sat with Gan Ning.
"So, Niang, Lin, how do you like it here?" asked Xiang who tried to start a conversation. "It's wonderful here, the scenery here is very delicate," said Niang. "Yes it is indeed. I was thinking of giving myself a tour around the kingdom," commented Lin. "Are you sure you want to go by your self?" asked Da Qiao. Lin nodded, "Yes, I'm quite sure."
(After Breakfast)
"Hmmmm………" Niang mumbled to herself, "Man, I'm so bored," she whined. "Hey you want to study with me then?" asked Xiao who appeared behind her. "Why?" "Because you said you were bored and my sister, Da, is being lazy. Also my husbie's busy doing strategies, besides I hate being alone." "Sure," "Yay! Now please come with me, Niang," so Niang followed Xiao into the study room and practice their mathematics, calligraphy, spelling, and even Chinese history. 'I never thought studying could be so fun with her,' Niang thought to her self.
After Lin had finished her tour around the kingdom, she chose to sit and read under a shady tree beneath the shining sun.
"Hello there," Xun said walking towards her. "Good afternoon, Lu Xun," Lin responded back taking her eyes off her book and into Lu Xun's brown eyes. He walked towards her sat by her as well. "Did you not want to ask me something," Lin asked leaning her back against the pink cherry tree. "Yes," "Alright then, what was it?" "Ummm……" 'This is surly embarrassing to ask,' Xun thought to himself. "W-would you like to go out with me?" Lu Xun blushed. "Sure," Lin answered with a grin.
(That night…)
"So, Lu Xun where did you wanted to go?" asked Lin. "Um… actually I'm not so sure anymore! So why don't we go for a walk." So they left the kingdom and wondered around the city.
As soon as they walked out, it began pouring, "Aww! Just our luck! " "Heh, heh, it's alright," Lin giggled as she held out an umbrella. "Oh well, great, please let me hold it up," volunteered Lu Xun grabbing the umbrella out of her hand.
Soon it was beyond pouring, "Why don't we go inside this Tea Shop? I don't think the umbrella will last very long if we keep this up," "Sure."
So the two young teens walked inside the shop sat and ordered some herbed tea. They sat across from each other; they couldn't help taking their eyes off one another. But even though Lin kept staring at Lu Xun, he noticed sadness upon her graceful eyes. "Is something bothering you?" Lu Xun asked her curious for an answer. "No… actually, I not so sure," she responded, "No tell me! I can tell that you're lying. When I dated Sun Shang Xiang she hid feelings from me and ended up lying to me. But in the very end, she was dating Gan Ning… Not that I care! " said Lu Xun. Lin giggled, "Fine if you must know then ask me some questions. But I'll only answer them if you will answer the questions I'll ask you; there is still so much we do not know about each other. Agreed?" "Agreed," agreed Lu Xun.
"Good, you start first," said Lin. "Alright. Where were you born?" "I was born in a village called Comet Catcher. We named it since the stars and comets were greatly showed there and everyone watched it pass and sparkle." Lin answered. "I see, I bet that you're wondering where I was born as well, huh? Well I was borned in a town but I forgot born in!" he banged the table," Oh man, I'm such a useless idiot! " "Do not anger yourself just because of that. Please don't," Lin said in a calm voice and putting her hand on top of his. "I'm sorry, Lin," Xun apologized. "No, it's alright. Why don't we go, it has stopped raining and it's getting late," she suggested. "Good idea," Lu Xun said. So they got up and paid then left.
As they walked back to the Kingdom of Wu, Lu Xun commented, "Please be careful, Lin, the road is slippery and muddy." "I know." In a short while she froze. Lu Xun stopped a step in front of her, "what's the matter?" he asked. "L-look! At the sky!" she shouted. "What? I don't see anything," "No! Up there!" Lin pointed it out. "Ah! A shooting star, quick make a wish before anyone else wish's first!" commanded Lu Xun. As Lin obeyed, she closed her eyes and folded her hands together…
After the shooting star was out of sight, Xun said, "Well I hope you made a wonderful wish." Lin nodded, "I just hope that the wish I made was wise." After Lin had spoke they left, but the first step Lin took she slipped. She fell, but not to the ground but into Lu Xun's arms. They gazed into each others eyes, and slowly moved closer and closer; soon when they were even close to each other to kiss. They did kiss. In a short while, Lin was still in Lu Xun's arms. But then she found herself giving him a tight embrace.
"It's been so long since I embraced someone like this," Lin said, "so long since I've last seen a shooting star… I- I never want to be separated from you!" Lin's eyes began to grow tears. Lu Xun wiped her tears away with his sleeve, "Do not cry, my love," he comforted her. Lin stopped crying but her eyes remained teary. "Let's go, but remember this, Lin, I could never be happy when your not. Especially the tears you shed," Xun said giving her one more hug before they left.
