Chapter9: I Already Miss You
When Lin woke up she was in her room. She sat up and opened her eyes. 'It's dark,' she thought to herself. She got out of bed and walked towards her window. 'There's a moon, a full moon,' she thought to herself again. 'How pretty it looks up there surrounded by the stars.' Lin stared at the moon for nearly half an hour and went back to bed.
(Where Niang is…)
'Awe man this surly sucks,' Ning thought. 'Here I am in the wild, twenty-five miles away to the border of Wei. Dang, I knew I should've left earlier.' Niang was in the wild alone with her black saddle, Chi. Chi and Niang slept near a tree, Niang leaned on the big tree with a blanket around her hoping no bugs would fall down and attack her. In the other hand, Chi was tied to a branch and sleeping next to her master.
Niang couldn't sleep. 'I've never been this far from Sister before,' she thought. She looked up to the night sky and saw a full moon. 'It's beautiful… Mother once sang us a song of morning light with clouds flipping to a shadowy shade full of stars. I wonder how Sister's doing. She didn't even watch me go off the kingdom of Wu. I really must've ticked her off.' Staring at the moon, Niang faded and was sleeping at the next moment.
At morning when Chi and Niang were both awake, they had small breakfasts which were some fruits. After that they immediately left to Wei.
Minutes later Niang finally reached the border and, obviously, there were guards guarding the place, in and out.
"What's your name?" asked a guard to Niang as when she got there. Luckily Niang and Lin have been making fake profiles during their quests.
"Sei Hi," Lin answered. (Hey f you don't like it, I was thinking of putting Chun Li!)
"Where are you from?" asked the guard.
"Nowhere, I-I'm a traveler."
"A female traveler traveling on the Land of Wei during war?"
Niang nodded.
"Well that sure beats the heck out me. Well please come and enter the Land of Wei and make yourself at home."
"Thank you." said Niang entering the gates to Wei.
'Awe man! I am so freaked out! I'm so scared of being here alone!' Niang thought.
Niang went through the gates hastily and went to go find the capital of Wei since that's where the Wei Kingdom is I guess. She saw a path that divided to two paths. She wondered which way it was to the Wei Capital. "Hmm… which way?" she asked herself. "This is a fifty-fifty chance of getting this right. What do you think, Chi? Left of right?" Chi, the saddle, faced and neighed to the path that went right. "That one? Well okay!" So off they went to the right path.
(At Dawn, Back to Lin…)
When Lin woke up she washed up quietly. After that she went to the front yard of Wu. She looked at the trail that leads out Wu to Wei. While looking at the trail, she saw marks of hooves on the ground. She knew who they belonged to. "I'm sorry," Lin said. Later on she noticed that her eyes were watery so she wiped them away and went straight back to her room.
While in her room she lay on her bed putting her face to the pillow and tears slowly came down Lin's cheeks. 'I'm so sorry Mei Mei. I should've watched you leave the kingdom. Oh, I miss you so much already.'
During the whole morning she was in her room regretting what she did yesterday. Not only did she regret herself, but also trying to remember what happened and how when she was knocked out.
(Again Back to Niang, Twenty Minutes Later…)
'Oh yeah I'm finally here!' thought Niang. "Good choice, Chi," she said looking down at her horse. At the entrance of the Wei Capital there was a pretty wooden sign hanging up and had something perfectly carved on it. And that something read, Welcome to…. (Whatever the Wei Capital is), the Capital of the Land of Wei. 'Well what a corny welcoming,' Niang thought.
She looked around the capital and it was pretty peaceful. She looked around and saw the big kingdom of Wei. 'Holy that is one big kingdom! No wonder Wu and Shu are losing! Enough messing around! I gotta' go to that kingdom and be a nosy house maid. So Niang went straight to the kingdom.
When she reached the kingdom she ran into two guards doing their posts. "Um… excuse me but I would like to be a house made here," said Niang. "Oh really? Well come in then," said one of the guards opening the gate. 'Oh snap! That guy was a total hubby,' Niang thought. "Oh and, Miss, please leave your saddle with the other guard in front," said the other handsome guard. "Okay, thanks," Niang said and went through the gates.
In front of the kingdom she did see a guard and give her horse to him to put away or watch. After that another guard came out with a house maid and said to Niang that the maid will take her to the Lord so she can be a maid.
Inside the house she walked behind the maid, who's leading her Cao Cao. When they reached Cao Cao's chambers, the maid told Cao Cao who Sei Hi was and what she wanted.
"Alright you got the job, Miss Sei," said the Lord of Wei ten minutes later after listening to the maid.
"Thank you, M' Lord," said Sei (who is Niang). 'What the bloody hel- I mean heck did I just call this old fool?' she thought to herself.
"Zhen Ji, take this lady to her room," said Cao Cao.
"Yes, Sir," said Zhen Ji. "Miss Sei, come with me."
"Uh, yes," said Sei nervously following Zhen Ji out of the room.
When Zhen Ji and Sei Hi were out of Cao Cao's room Zhen Ji asked, "So how old are you actually?"
"Me?" asked Sei pointing to her self. "I'm only sixteen."
"Sixteen? Oh my, you're very young indeed."
"So what is your REAL name?"
"Huh? Don't you know? It's Se…"
"Don't even lie to me, Kiddo. I can tell that that's not your real name."
"Fine," Niang took a deep sigh, "My name's Bao Niang Ling Yi."
"What!" shouted Zhen Ji in confusion.
"Shhhhhhhh!" Niang hushed putting her hands on Zhen Ji's mouth.
"The Bao Niang Ling Yi!" said Zhen Ji in a quieter voice.
Niang nodded. "Please keep it a secret."
"Sure thing, Princess, but what are you doing in Wei?"
"I'll tell you when we go inside my room," suggested Niang.
So they went to Niang's room. Her room was a pretty light shade of blue with a white ceiling. "Here's your room," said Zhen Ji. Both of the two pretty ladies sat on Niang's soft bed on her silky bed sheet.
"Shall I continue where we were back at the hallway, Lady Zhen?" asked Niang.
"Oh that. Well if you want to, I mean it's none of my business I guess."
"I suggest that it's best if only you knew, Lady Zhen."
"Alright then."
"I'm here on a mission to know the strategies of Wei because I'm an Officer of Wu."
Zhen Ji was in shock. "Y-you're from Wu! I always wanted to go there and meet Sun Shang Xiang and especially Zhou Yu! Oh, sorry I got a bit carried away there. So I thought when… well … when Cao Cao invaded your kingdom you died."
"No, my sister and I managed to escape."
"I see. I'm so sorry for bringing your back the horrid memories."
"Nah, it's alright. Are you sure you won't tell?"
"Trust me; your secret is safe as a diary thrown in the sea. Besides I don't really like this kingdom. I always wanted to be in Wu, not go against them. I'm married to Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi, and well… I don't really love him. I was being forced against my own will to marry him. I hate it here. You're lucky you have a family relying on you and caring for you."
"I only have one family left and that's my sister… but I'm not even sure if she cares for me anymore," said Niang.
"Awwwww…" said a voice behind the door. "Who's there!" asked Niang. The door opened and it was Zhang He. "Okay…. Who are you?" asked Niang. "Zhang He, you stupid moron! How long have you been there?" Zhen Ji demanded for an answer. "Long enough to here everything," Zhang He said walking towards Zhen Ji.
"So, Zhen Ji is that how you truly feel about people in the kingdom?" asked Zhang He.
"Well most."
"I am so sorry you feel that way but…"
"Hey you're not going to tell anyone right!" interrupted Niang.
"Uh… actually it depends…"
"You better not," suggested Zhen Ji with a Sango look when Miroku's hitting on other women.
"I mean no I won't! I promise!" said Zhang He looking down at Zhen Ji.
"Well you better not!" said the two girls at once.
After the yelling, Zhang He left the room in irritation. Inside Niang's room, Zhen got up from the bed and said to Niang, "Family is a very special thing to have. You should be proud of it."
"What?" asked Niang in confusion?
Zhen Ji didn't say any more but just left Niang's room. When Lady Zhen left, Niang took in a deep breath and thought of back-flashes of her and her sister together. 'How much does she care about me?' Niang wondered.
(Again, Back to Lin in the Backyard of the Wu Kingdom…)
Lin sat under the same cherry blossom tree she always sat on or under. She was dazing off the staring to the light blue sky. 'What's Niang doing right now? How is she doing? Oh, I hope she's doing well and is safe,' she thought. She took in a deep, deep breath trying not to cry again. Lin couldn't bear thinking of her younger sister in danger or anything so she hid her face in her arms and legs. 'Just think of the good fun times you had with Mei Mei long ago when Mother and Father were still alive, Lin!' she told herself in her head.
Thinking of the great times they had made Lin even sadder. They never had that much fun since their parents died. Besides, the best time of their young lives were when their parents still walked upon the living. (Do I sound all Resident Evil on you?)
Suddenly Lin felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked to see who it was and turned out to be Sun Shang Xiang.
"Do you need something?" Lin asked quietly.
"A little, but are you alright? You've been mute like all day so far. Something wrong?" Sun Shang Xiang said gently.
"It's nothing. I'm fine. Thank you though."
Sun Shang Xiang nodded. "Remember, when you need aid or assistance of something… well, I'm always here to help," Lady Sun said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Lady Sun," said Lin.
In a bit, they both got up and went somewhere. Lin went to her room and lay down on her bed thinking of Niang. 'Does she miss me? Well I miss her a lot, that I'm surly positive of. I hope she'll accept my apology when we see each other again,' Lin thought. In a while thinking of these things, she drifted away sleeping.
If you're wondering why my chapters are a bit crappy lately it's because I'm rushing. I jus want you to read my stories so bad that their turning to a disaster! Review me if there's a problem somewhere, okay?
