Hey every one! I haven't updated a story in a long time. I almost forgot how...anyways, Here is the second chapter to my Life Gone Wrong Story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Dynasty Warriors, characters, people, (except my original character) and I don't really own anything except the plot and Kai. You guys know the rest if I forgot anything...

Chapter two: more memories

Flash Back

It was her fifth Christmas with her parents. Kai had put many things on her Christmas list that year.

It was about two days before Christmas came.

"Can we open presents now?" Kai had asked for the twentieth time. Her mother and father looked at her and shook their heads.

"No, not yet sweetheart. You'll have to wait until Tuesday, okay? That's when we will all open them." Her father explained. Kai had a saddened look on her face as she looked back at the tree that had many ornaments that hung loosely off the branches. Some lined the bottom, where she had put them, for she was not tall enough to reach the top. The ornaments were handmade…by her family! It always brought back memories of when they were littler. At the bottom of the tree…well, there wasn't much there. All that was there was a cloth that lined the tree, so it would look more decorative.

Two days latter…

"Gasp WOW! Lookie momma! Santa is so nice to me!" Kai exclaimed opening a box that held a doll. The doll had short black hair and had a beautiful blue dress, which was trimmed with a fancy-lacing pattern.

Her parents looked at each other and giggled softly.

End flashback

Once again, Kai's thoughts were interrupted by Zhen Ji who was grabbing her arm and pulling her out of her room.

"I told you that you should stop thinking so much about your past." Ji exclaimed. Kai looked at her and she blushed, ashamed that she was suddenly remembering her past.

However, she couldn't help it. These thoughts just suddenly popped into her mind. Then, Ji pulled her arm again because she had stopped walking with her. Then they started walking down to the meeting room.

While they were walking, Kai noticed something that she hadn't before. She looked at Ji and asked, "What is that?"

"Hmm? Oh, that. Well, this was a picture of when China was still one. Hand drawn by a famous artist…I forgot his name, but oh well. See there? That's Lord Cao Cao and the one to his left is Sun Jian, who recently passed away. The one to the right is Liu Bei. Sadly, he's still alive." Ji explained quickly. Kai looked at it with a concentrated face. Then she remembered when the kingdoms were still united. Then she was pulled on again.

When they finally reached the meeting hall, they saw everyone with a quill in their hand and writing down things on a piece of paper. Kai noticed that the longest ones were Cao Cao's, Cao Pi's and Sima Yi's. Their lists were at least to their laps. Kai gasped at the sight of the meeting room being so quiet. It normally had Sima Yi yelling at Zhang He for being queer, Cao Cao having a big old' laugh with his son and the others crowding around Zhang Liao to see how much he could drink without passing out.

"Wow…this is a rare sight." Kai broke the silence. She was standing behind Zhang He. Suddenly he jumped out of his chair to face her.

"What a beautiful idea! I would have never thought of this!" Zhang He exclaimed, causing Kai to jumped backwards a few feet. Apparently, he had also scared everyone else in the room because it had at once been quiet…until now. Then Kai gave a sigh of relief.

"Zhang He! Sit down will you? She'll explain this idea of hers…now won't you?" Sima Yi yelled. Zhang He, being obedient, sat down slowly and then let out a sigh. Then he began to think of what else to put on his list. Kai sighed again. Then she started to explain.

"Okay…listen up now. I won't be able to get everything on your lists…it would just cost too much." She was interrupted by a moan from everyone. She shook her head and continued, " I will get you as much as I can afford, but it is still a good thing that you have different things for this event next year. It's an annual holiday so it comes around every year." Then she was interrupted again by Zhang He.

"Really! It comes that often!" He exclaimed again. She looked at him and shook her head signaling a yes. Zhang He put on a smile that seemed to light the whole room…or at least around him.

"Anyway, that's what will happen. If there is something on your list that is way too expensive, then don't get any high hopes." Kai then heard a moan from Cao Cao. She smacked her hand on her forehead. Then she asked them a question, "Did you guys even think of the expenses?" Everyone shook their heads with a confused look on their faces. Kai sighed and then turned to Ji, who was now leaning against the wall, waiting for the meeting to end.

"I will need your help." Kai told Ji. Ji got up and walked to her friend's side. "What do you need from me?" She asked inquisitively. Kai whispered something in her ear, making Ji have a surprised look on her face.

"How am I supposed to do that? I don't have enough for you." She explained. "I know…but…heh, that's only the minimum cost of what some of the stuff would cost…" Kai admitted nervously. Ji's mouth opened wide.

"How in the world are you planning to do this! You don't have a chance in hell to find that much!" Ji exclaimed at the price. Kai covered her head while feeling Ji come over her in anger.

"I…I don't know yet. We will need to do a fund-raiser or something to that effect." Kai said, making herself think about what she should do.

"But how are we supposed to do any of it? There are still three kingdoms." Zhang Liao spoke up. Sima Yi looked at him and nodded in agreement. Kai looked at him and then looked down. Then a question popped into her head.

"But I thought the leader of Wu, Sun Jian, recently passed away. Wouldn't that make it two kingdoms?" Kai asked clueless. Sima Yi shook his head and answered her question.

"Listen, just because Sun Jian died, doesn't mean that he didn't pass it on to his son, Sun Ce." Sima Yi said. Kai suddenly went into a trance. That name was familiar.
