I'm so sorry if I took so long to update. I have so much homework. I also am doing a project in history of China. I also finished my report of Genghis Khan the Mongolian Warlord. But who cares about my life and so read the chapter I updated!

Chapter8: Pack Up!

As Lu Xun went to Lin's room he knocked on her door. There was no answer. He knocked again but louder, "Excuse me," Xun said. No answer. Lu Xun began to grow impatient every passing second. He got too impatient so he just opened Lin's door.

Lu Xun saw no one in Lin's room, not even Lin. He stepped inside and took a look around. There he saw a desk with a drear (I hope I wrote that write. Or maybe it was drawer… nah!). The drear was half opened and half closed. He bent down to look in it to see what he could find. When he bent down he found a book. He gently picked it up and read the title; it said Qao Lin Yi's Diary.

Lu Xun was about to open it until he thought, 'What am I doing? This book has most or all of Lin's personal opinions. I better not.' He quietly placed her book back and left her room. When he was out of Lin's room, he closed her door and began his search for her again.

Through the whole morning Lu Xun didn't even see Lin. At noon, a messenger came over and said we should prepare for battle against the Nanmans ASAP. The messenger also said that their soldier population is rising too fast and too high. Sun Jian, of course, accepted and told Wu army to pack up. The trip will be only a day to get there.

When Xiao Qiao told Lin she started to pack up. While packing up, Lin was thinking of bringing her diary along. So she looked at her desk and saw that the drear she left half opened this morning was fully closed. In shock she did a gasp. A few of Lin's banes slid down freely to her face. She putted her hands on her hair and felt that her precious hair ornament was misplaced.

Lin packed up faster so she can have more time to find her hair pin. When she finished packing, she quickly walked all over the kingdom three times everywhere (Except the generals rooms. She asked them instead and they all said, "No."). She found no clue of her precious treasure so she went to take a look in the back yard.

She ran to the yard and bumped into Lu Xun (What a coincidence.) and both fell. They got back up, "Excuse me," Lin said leaving and not bothering to lookup to see who she crashed into.

Lin ran away until Lu Xun pulled her arm back. "Ow!" Lin whined.

"Why are you in hurry?" asked Lu Xun.

Lin looked up and noticed that it was Lu Xun and said, "J-just something!"

"Why were you east-dropping on your sister and me?" he asked with curious glare.

"B-because….!"

"Because of what!"

"….. …."

"Tell what is wrong with you and I will help you… Lin?"

Before he knew it, she was crying. He placed her on his chest and gently stroked her hair. He putted his hand in his pocket then took something out.

"This is yours, right?" said Xun showing her the beautiful hair ornament. When she saw it she stopped crying but tears still rolled down. "W-where….? How did you….?" she tried to ask. "Oh, well this? Well after you ran away I tried to get you but I found this in front of the door of Niang's room.

Lu Xun released her arm, opened one of her hands, placed the ornament on her palm, and closed her hand. "Well try not to lose this anymore," he said. He putted his hand on Lin's cheek and wiped a falling tear. As soon as he wiped the tear, he slid his hand off her cheek and left.

Lin looked at the ornament in her hand as soon as Lu Xun was out of sight. "Tang…" she said to herself. A short while later she went to go find Niang to see if she needed help with anything.

When Lin was in front of Niang's room, she knocked on the door. "Yes? Come in," a voice answered. Lin opened the door and went inside.

"Mei Mei?"

"Yes?"

"Do you need any help with anything?"

"No. Thanks though."

"You should pack your light blue blanket."

'My light blue blanket?' thought Niang.

"Uh why? Did you pack up your silver one?"

"Yes I did, Little Sister. Lee gave it to you remember? As well as he gave it to me."

"Alright."

"Okay five more minutes' people!" shouted Sun Ce as Sun Shang Xiang banged the dong for every ones attention. Zhou Yu slightly came by and whispered to Sun Ce. "Sun Ce?" Zhou Yu asked. "What is it?" "A new messenger came in and reported that the Wei are about to attack the Shu. So there is no need to leave." "Oh my goodness," said Ce, "Shang Xiang, ring the dong again please." "Got it bro!" said Sun Shang Xiang giving the dong another bang. "Oh and I have to go talk to Lady Bao. Now if you will excuse me," Zhou Yu said going towards Niang's room.

"Attention people! There was a slight mistake and we don't have to pack up and go. So just unload everything or keep your luggage the way it is so you won't have to pack up next time," said Ce after the dong rang. After Ce's speech everyone sighed whined.

As Zhou Yu went to Niang's room, he stood and knocked her door. "Come in!" said a voice. Zhou Yu opened the door and went in. "Oh, welcome, Lord Zhou Yu," Niang pleased when she saw him.

"Listen, Lady Bao," Zhou Yu began, "as you can see, the population of Wei is going way out of hand."

"I see. So what do you want me to do?" asked Niang.

"Well, we thought that you could spy on the Wei and figure out their strategies for us. It's a mission we need you to do."

"I see."

"Will you accept?"

"Yes. But when will it start?"

"It'll start as soon as the stables are ready today."

"Today…?"

"Yes. We need you to be a house maid for them and CAREFULLY eavesdrop (I wrote it right! It's e-a-v-e-s-d-r-o-p, not e-a-s-t-d-r-o-p!) on the generals of Wei. Sneak on them if you have to. The trip will only take a few hours if you take a saddle, which you will."

"Thanks for your aid, Zhou Yu."

"Glad I could help."

He left after and Lin got nervous for her first solo mission.

(Minutes later, Outside in the Backyard of Wu…)

"What!" Shouted Lin. "You're leaving on some spy mission!" "Uh, y-yeah…" answered Niang nervously. "Why didn't you tell me, Little Sister?" "Sister, worry about your self…" "You're my younger sister!" Lin interrupted. "I'm sorry! I truly am," said Niang.

They stared at each other hastily with anger. "Why can't I ever make a decision without you butting in?" asked Lin curiously. "…Because I…" before Lin could finish, Gan Ning came over and interrupted.

"Sorry to disturb you ladies but it's time to go, Niang," Gan Ning said looking at Niang.

"Already?" said Niang.

"Yep, you'd better leave no since it gets chaotic at night."

"Alright, Sister, please take care," Niang said walking towards her saddle.

Lin nodded and said, "You too."

After this, Gan Ning went back inside to train with Zhou Tai. Lin was going to go back inside until Zhou Yu grabbed her arm.

"What is it?" asked Lin.

"Aren't you going to watch your sister go off?" Yu asked.

"Why should I? There isn't really much a point doing that is there?"

"What is wrong with you? You know why Lady Bao considered the offer don't you?"

"…."

Lin couldn't speak. Not even a word. Zhou Yu looked at her face and just noticed that she had tears running down her cheeks.

"I ask you for forgiveness," apologized Zhou Yu while letting her arm go. As soon as Zhou Yu released her arm, Lin fell onto the ground.

"Lin! Are you alright?" asked Zhou Yu bending down to her. He saw it that she was un-conscience (or conscience. It's the one when you faint. I forget which one it s though) so he picked her up and carried her to her room.

Too short? Yeah I know but it could've been shorter that's why I had to make her faint. Well I better go see if by older brother is done with the Nintendo Game Cube so I can play. Not only that, but I have to do my reading log, my parents laundry, and my project. I'm making maps of the five dynasties and I'm the illustrator too! Damn that that's a lot frickin' crap! Sorry… Buh-bye!
