Chapter24: Reunion

As Jiang Wei and Lin ran into the woods Lin suddenly stopped. "What's wrong?" asked Jiang Wei a few steps before her. "… Um, well, I thank you for helping me escape from the wedding but… where exactly do you expect to take me now. I mean, I doubt I can ever show my face to Shu again…and Wu, I guess. Plus, where are we going!" said Lin. "Calm down," said Jiang Wei, "follow me, I'll show you where I'm taking you!" "NO YOU'RE NOT!" said a voice behind them. Lin and Jiang Wei turned around and saw Ma Chao and Zhao Yun trotting by.

"Oh…hey, guys…!" said Jiang Wei. (;)

"Hey yourself, fool," said Ma Chao.

"Do you know what you've got your, and her, butts into?"

"Uh, well…"

"Er, it's not Jiang Wei's fault!"

"Huh?" said Zhao Yun and Ma Chao.

"I mean, I didn't want to marry him in the first place…! So, it was my fault that this all started! Sorry!" Lin shouted closing her eyes facing down.

'Heh, who does wanna' marry that loser…" all the three men thought.

"So, what do we do now?" asked Zhao Yun.

Lin went on Ma Chaos horse behind him and Jiang Wei did the same to Zhao Yun.

"What the hell are you two doing?" said Ma Chao.

"Over there," Jiang Wei pointed.

"Where?" said Zhao Yun.

"There!" said Jiang Wei.

"What 'bout it?" said Ma Chao.

"Go there!"

"Kay! Kay, Kay, Kay!" said Ma Chao. And so they trotted over there with their horses.

"Hey, Ma Chao, why do you always ride a white horse?" asked Lin cheerfully.

"Why does everyone ask me that?" he said.

And so they continued…!

Near an edge their horses stopped. "Jiang Wei, you lead us to nowhere! Again!" said Ma Chao.

"Shhhh! Look, red tents…it's…"

"Wu." Said Lin finishing Zhao Yun's comment. "Why here, of all places Jiang Wei?"

"Because, I think you should back to where you came from in the first place. If you leave, I'll try and make Shu forget that none of this ever happened."

"Dude, how did you know that they, Wu, be here?" asked Ma Chao.

"I uh, took…Zhuge Liang's ….files…"

"What!" said Zhao Yun. "He made me search for them because we thought they were stolen!"

"They were stolen," said Jiang Wei.

"Confucius, shut up. Big butt, get away from me. What do you expect Lin to do again?"

"I want her to go find him." said Jiang Wei.

"No way!" shouted Lin, "I'm never going back towards that….person again!"

In a bit they began to cause an argument.

(Below the cliff, the Wu camp…)

"Hey, Zhou Yu!" said Xiao Qiao atop of an apple tree.

"Yeah, what is it?" he said on ground.

"Come up here!"

"Awe, darn it…!" And so Zhou Yu climbed up. "What is it, Xiao?"

"Look!" Xiao pointed. "It's Lin, and a bunch of other guys!"

Zhou Yu was surprised. He jumped out of the tree and reported to Sun Ce.

"Well then what are we waitin' here for? Let's go greet her! I'm sure Lu Xun would be happy as heck!" Sun Ce said.

"Uh, Sun Ce," said Zhou Yu.

"Yeah, what?"

"She's with… Shu generals."

"Holy…! Tell me now, buddy!"

"…" sweat "Heheh…guess so."

"Well, let's greet them somehow," said Sun Ce.

(To where Lu Xun is!)

"Nu-uh! No way!" said Lu Xun.

"Yeah-huh!" said Xiao Qiao.

"No way!"

"Yes-way!"

"SHUT-UP!" shouted Sun Shang Xiang. Just go talk to Sun Ce! My gosh, you guys are so irritating!"

"Well you just want to see your dearest Liu Bei!" shouted Xiao Qiao.

(!) "What did you say!" said Shang Xiang.

"I said… 'Look, a monkey!'" said Xiao ant then ran away from Shang Xiang.

"That's what I thought you said," Shang Xiang mumbled to her self." She turn around and looked a Lu Xun.

"Ah…I'll be leaving!" Lu Xun said. He got and headed out of the tent. "HOLD IT! You're coming with me!" Shang Xiang scolded. She grabbed Lu Xun's collar and dragged him out. "Hm? What's this?" Shang Xiang said. She and Lu Xun saw Lin with some Shu generals, the hard ones too. (Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Jiang Wei)

"Anything you want to say to her?" Shang Xiang said to Lu Xun.

"Uh….well…" Lu Xun couldn't find the words he wanted to say.

"Well next time, figure out what and what not to say, kay!" Shang Xiang said. She pushed Lu Xun in front of the crowd where Lin could see him.

"Hey, what are you guys doing with Lin!" shouted Xiao to Jiang Wei.

"Hey, shut it you brat!" said Ma Chao.

"HEY, no one but I can call her that!" said Da Qiao.

"You can't say that to him, you idiot!" Zhao Yun said to Da.

"Well she just did! And who the hell just do you think you are!" said Shang Xiang.

"I am one of the Five Generals, Zhao Yun. And just who do you think you are, girl!"

"Hah! I'm your lord's wife! Sun Shang Xiang!"

"Oh, he's done it now," Jiang Wei whispered to Ma Chao.

"QUIET!" Shouted Taishi Ci, Huang Gai, and Gan Ning.

"Lin, what are you doing with Shu?" asked Zhou Yu.

"…" she didn't say anything but her expression wasn't a face of innocence or scared, just unfriendly.

"Hey, leave her out of this!" said Jiang Wei.

"You back off, strategist!" said Sun Ce. "She's our general!"

"… You cant say who I belong too! You people don't owe me!" Lin shouted.

"But how can you stay with you families murderers?" asked Zhou Tai.

"I!..." Lin totally forgot all about her families deaths and their killers. But how can she turn away her friends? How are they her friends in the first place? "I hate it!"

"Hate what?" asked Shang Xiang.

"Everything! I hate everything! Wu. Shu. Wei… Myself!" she said.

She shoved her way out of the crowd and ran out of the Wu camp.

"Hey, somebody catch her!" shouted Shang Xiang. "And as for you guys…" Sun Ce said to the Shu generals with a glare.

(Back to where Lin is…)

As she ran Lu Xun caught her by the wrist and pulled her into his tent which was next to her (coincidence). He put his hands around her mouth and she bit it. "Ow!" Lu Xun said letting go. Lin was about to run out, again, but this Lu Xun jumped her to the ground. "Hey! Get off of me!" Lin shouted. She struggled persistently but Lu Xun placed his hands on her shoulders. "What do you want!" she shouted.

"To know what are you going to do next?" he said.

"Kill myself, that's what!" she said.

"What?"

"You heard what I said, dummy!"

"Why?"

"There's no reason for me to live right?"

"Yes there…."

"…No there isn't! Wei released me because they didn't even what threats I do to them. Shu gave me away to marry some wimp who's suppose to be the future of Shu! And Wu doesn't care for me!"

"I do."

"You can't possibly…!"

Lu Xun released his grip and hugged her.

"How can you still care for me? After what all I've done. You can't still love me. Right?"

"Wrong." Lu Xun got up. What are you really going to do next? Killing yourself won't any good. I'll stop you anyway."

"Hmp! Fine then. I'll join battle with you guys again. Just like old time, remember?" she said.

He nodded.

This was all of her plan.

(To the Shu Generals!)

"Zhao Yun this is all your fault!" said Ma Chao.

"How's is always my fault?" Zhao Yun said.

"Be quiet, you two are two of the Tiger Generals. Protect me! I'm the future prime minister of Shu!" said Jiang Wei.

"Kid's got a point," said Ma Chao.

The three Shu generals were back to back in a way on the floor…tied in rope.

"Oh! Why did Lord Zhou Yu and Sun Ce make us watch the idiots!" Xiao said to Da and Shang Xiang as they came into the tent.

"Because they went to strategize, Xiao," Da said.

"But still!"

"Don't worry I know what you mean, Xiao," said Shang Xiang.

"Psssst! Zhao Yun!" said Ma Chao.

"What is it, Ma Chao?"

"Only the females are watching us. Do you think we can use them?"

"I don't know! Ask Jiang Wei, I highly doubt it though," said Zhao Yun.

"Well, Jiang Wei?" asked Ma Chao.

"Well, I guess it's the best and only plan we've got…why not?" :D said Jiang Wei.

"Nu-uh, no way I'm doin that!" said Zhao Yun.

"Aw, c'mon, it'll be…interesting!" said Ma Chao.

"Hey shut up over there!" shouted Shang Xiang.

"Oh, um, could you girls do us a favor?" asked Jiang Wei.

"Depends what it is," Da said.

"Um…can you scratch his guys back? It's uh…itchy," Jiang Wei said pointing his head towards Zhao Yun.

"No way, we're not fools, stupid!"

"I am no fool! I am…"

"Yeah we know who you are!" said Da.

"Actually," said Ma Chao.

"What is it this time?" asked Shang Xiang.

"The two brats over there. Qiao's right?"

"Yes!" they shouted.

"You two should be thanking us," Ma Chao said.

"We should?" said Da.

"Why?" said Xiao.

"If it wasn't for our prime minister, Zhuge Liang, you two would be wedded off to that Dong Zhuo, or was it Cao Cao?"

"What are you saying!" said Da.

"Your father was friends with Cao Cao, right?" said Zhao Yun. "Your father's plan was to wed you two off to Cao Cao. You knew right? It was Zhuge Liang who showed the poem to Zhou Yu of the Qiao's being wedded off to Cao Cao written by his men."

"Where are you going with this!" said Xiao.

"He's saying you two love your husbands now right?" said Jiang Wei. "If it weren't for us, Shu, you guys be off with another man. We're saying we did you guys a favor. Why not repay it back to us?"

"Da, he has a point," Xiao said.

"I know, but…"

"Don't you two dare think about it!" said Shang Xiang.

Da and Xiao when towards them.

"Yes, it's working!" said Ma Chao quietly.

Da and Xiao scratched Zhao Yun's back. Okay your favors done.

"What? That's it?" said Jiang Wei.

"You said it your self, 'can you do us a favor, scratch his back…it's itchy,'" said Xiao.

"B-But…!"

"No buts!" said Da smacking him with her fan on Ma Chao's head.

"Ow!" Ma Chao said.

"Alright, girls, your shift is up," said Gan Ning.

"Finally!" said Shang Xiang.

"It's our turn now, right Zhou Tai?" said Taishi Ci.
