Well here's a pretty short chapter but I used lot of ideas on this one. I also want to thank all my reviewers for supporting me so thank you all. (Which is sideways, WindsOfEnternity, and stackle!
Chapter10: Looking for You
(Three Days After Niang Spied on Wei…)
"Oh Man, when is Mei Mei coming back!" said Lin impatiently walking around in circles. "She'll be back home soon, Lin!" said Lu Xun trying to comfort her by following here everywhere or anywhere. "Three day, Lu Xun! Three days! How long is this… this stupid assignment!" Lin shouted in irritation. "Stupid? It's not a stupid assignment, Lin! The whole thing depends on her whether if she can do it right or not. You'd know how this would be if you knew your place in the kingdom!" Xun yelled at her back.
After Lu Xun spoke she froze as if time itself had frozen too. "Perhaps you're right, I don't know place in this kingdom," Lin admitted. After that, Lin quickly walked out of the room. "W-wait. Lin?" said Lu Xun. "I-I didn't mean it!" It was too late; she had already walked out of the door. So Lu Xun went out to find her to clarify what he meant to her. But than again, like she cared anymore. To Lin, however, it was just too, too late for accepting apologies. Lu Xun looked hard to find Lin but couldn't spot her for a slight second.
"Uh, hey, Da Qiao!" said Lu Xun seeing Da pass by.
"Um, yes?" said Da.
"Have you seen Lin anywhere?"
"Oooooh, love trouble, watcha' do ta' her this time, eh!" asked Xiao curiously popping out behind Da.
"N-nothing, Xiao. At least not in particular… I guess."
"Hah!" smeared Xiao.
"Xiao!" said Da, "Sorry, Xun, but Lin went out of the kingdom. She was crying. Well catch' later, Bo Yan!" Da teased.
'Oh I hate that name!' Xun thought.
Soon after, Da walked away giggling and Xiao followed, but before Xiao followed Da, Xiao said to Lu Xun, "Careful now, Baby-Face. Da is flirtin' with ya' while she still has Ce! After all, Da is a player!" After she teased Xun about that, she ran off following Da giggling too.
'Aw, damn. What's with these damn crafty nicknames?' wondered Lu Xun. But what's more important to him right now is looking for Lin… since that was his first priority in the first place. So off he went or so out he left the Wu Kingdom.
'Oh sheez! Outside! Da's never specific 'bout these things! Where can I start though?' Lu Xun wondered. He looked around and saw a trail he never noticed before. 'I never noticed this path before? And I like had been here like a billion times. Gosh I'm blinder than Xiao thought I was. So he just followed the never noticed path to begin his search with Lin.
Following the path led Lu Xun to a forest. 'A forest? How better can this get?' he wondered sarcastically. But he still followed the trail and the deeper he went in the woods, he heard someone sobbing, not only that but also heard running water. So the more he heard, the faster he went.
Soon when the trial ended he found himself somewhere in a green, very green, natury place. He walked to check out the area's scenery. When he looked around he found the place soothing a peaceful and while looking around he saw a small creek running downwards from him. He looked at the small stream and it went even deeper to the forest. Lu Xun just followed the stream using it as guidance and to see how it is up there.
Following the stream, he noticed that the more he went to the woods, the bigger the stream got. Still walking deeper, he heard the same sobbing noise he heard before. A while later he saw small opening covered by green leaves and small branches and the sobbing seemed to be right in front of him behind the leaves and small branches.
Lu Xun slowly and quietly moved the leaves to the side to see who was the person sobbing. When he did, he saw a girl with hair down from the back. Her hair was black and faded to dark-brown to brown to light brown from the top to the bottom. (You know what I mean right? When the top of your hair is black and if you lower it dark-brown and then it gets lighter and lighter.) He took a good stare at the girl and then he noticed that Lin had hair exactly like that! And that that was Lin.
When he knew who she was, he quietly walked behind her a putted his arms around her. "I'm sorry," Lu Xun said. "When Lin bothered to look back she saw that it was Lu Xun. Her eyes widened.
"How did you find me?" asked Lin in a whisper.
"That I'm not even sure my self," he answered.
"What do you want?"
"Not much is all."
"Then…"
"Let me be besides you for now," he interrupted.
Lin couldn't say anything but she did want him to stay with her. Somehow, a little while later, Lu Xun and Lin were embracing each other tightly as if they NEVER Ever, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, want to let go or leave each other (again I guess).
"I'm sorry, Lin. Do you accept my apology?" asked Lu Xun.
"… … Why did you come to find me?"
"… …" Now Lu Xun was speechless.
"I hope I didn't bring you any trouble when you were looking for me."
"Nonsense, Lin. You'd never bring me trouble. Why are you crying? Is because what I said earlier?"
"A bit so," Lin answered.
"Than what else was it?"
"When we were talking earlier, it was when you said, 'She'll be back home soon.' You said that Niang would be back home soon. Back home in the kingdom. It made me feel warm… a strange feeling I've never felt in a long, long time. And I thank you for that, Lu Xun."
"Oh I see now. So you were shedding tears of joy the whole time?"
"Not likely. I was crying for… well my ex or old friend... I bet you know who (She's talking about Tang in case you're wondering)."
Lu Xun didn't bother to say anything else. Either Lin, they just wanted to be together in their embrace. They did stay like that for a long time. Lin cried still but Lu Xun comforted her by kissing her and telling that everything will be okay. He even said that Niang will be okay. Right now all Lin's trust is relying on Lu Xun so he'll try not to let her down.
Hours later when the moon rose, Lu Xun and Lin looked at the bright crescent moon. "How pretty…" complimented Lin in a whisper.
"It is pretty, Lin. But not as pretty as you," said Lu Xun. What he just said made Lin blush deeply.
"I think we should be going home now, Lin," said Lu Xun.
Lin's eyes widen. "Yes. Home," she said with a grin.
So off they went back to the Kingdom of Wu at night. "It's too dark. Do you think that we'll manage to get back home without getting lost?" asked Lin.
"Don't worry. As long as the moonlight reflects on us to guide us back home and as long as you're with me, everything will be okay," Lu Xun answered facing at her with an adorable smile.
Lin nodded and had faith of what Xun had just said.
When they left, Lin held Lu Xun's left arm tightly (But not that tight!). By the time they got out of the forest, Lu Xun's words were right. They made it out by some faith and I guess some luck. On the way home, both Lu Xun and Lin said nothing. Lin walked behind him on the way home; actually, she was a few steps behind him for some unknown reason.
When they returned to the Wu Kingdom Xiao popped in front of their faces and shouted, "Where have you two been! We've been sooooo worried that we were like, dying!"
"Were so sorry, Xiao and everybody else who were actually worried," said Lu Xun.
"Yeah you'd better be! Da, Yu, Ce, and I had been looking for you for three stupid hours! Besides, don't you know what time it is? It's at least 9:15PM. I wouldn't care so much if I knew how long you two were going to waste my life but love is love I guess," blabbered Xiao.
"Well I'm going to bed, People," said Lin.
"Me too," said Xun and Xiao.
So all three of them went to their rooms and slept on their nice, cozy, warm beds.
Well there isn't much to say left but I got to go to bed before mi sister gets pissed. Night people!
