~ ~ ~ Memories of the Sun ~ ~ ~

The kingdom of Wu was tranquil enough in the minds of the people. But for the Sun Family and the generals that followed them, it was everything but peaceful. Many things were going on between them and the other kingdoms, and the tension was starting to show on many a face.

The Sun family consisted of Sun Jian and his sons Sun Ce, the eldest, and Sun Quan. Sun Ce was chasing Da Qiao, one of the Qiao sisters. The other sister, Xiao Qiao, was attracting Ce's childhood friend, and Wu strategist, Zhou Yu. Sun Jian also had a daughter, the lady Sun Shang Xiang. She was a tomboy through and through. It was rumored that she was a better fighter than both her brothers and father combined. Yes, she was beautiful too. The fire and beauty attracted many men. Including Liu Bei of Shu, and Gan Ning, the former pirate. Two great men in their own right. To both men's dismay, the princess was oblivious to romance and didn't notice them trying to gain her affections.

"Shang Xiang!" The two Qiao sisters came running to their 'other sister' and wasted no time in pouncing on her.

"Oomph! Hey Da, Xiao...Uh, could you PLEASE stop doing that!?" Sun had just been training before the Qiao's spontaneously appeared, so she was wearing one of her battle outfits. (The one with the shorts dudes) Her hair had grown longer, about elbow length, because her brothers kept calling her a she-male. Sweat was forming on her face, and she was melting in the extreme heat.

The three females of the Wu kingdom went off to talk about who knows what. Probably who the latest person was who embarrassed themselves trying to get a date with one of them. As they left the field, they caught a glimpse of someone watching them from on top of the hill by the cherry blossom trees.

Gan Ning was lazily spread across his bed, sleeping like he hadn't in a week. He would usually end up sleeping until well after noon, train some, then wander around the castle aimlessly, and repeat the whole cycle time after time. His schedule had been interrupted some lately, when he found he needed to almost constantly watch the Wu princess.

Gan Ning's mental alarm clock set off, and that meant she was training. With almost animal-like speed, he was up, dressed, bathed, and outside watching Sun train. Ning didn't know what was going on with him lately. Whenever he saw Sun, his heart would beat faster, his kneed would buckle, and he would BLUSH! 'Pirates don't blush...' he thought.

"Why am I, the great Gan Ning, afraid of talking to a girl?" He mumbled, his eyes transfixed the Lady Sun. "Sure, she's pretty, no, that's an understatement, smart excellent fighter, and she's always really nice to me." Instantly a picture of Sun smiling at him popped into his head, causing his face to turn red.

"Aarrgh! This really is annoying me!" He shouted, as he mentally kicked himself for causing his red face.

When Ning first came to Wu, everyone was afraid of him or didn't trust him. He was almost executed because someone made up a bunch of lies about him. But Sun was there to defend him. She personally caught the idiot, and he was then killed.

Ning remembered the night after the incident like it happened five minutes ago.

*Flashback*

"Why did you defend me Lady Sun?" he asked. They were standing on a balcony, above the lake in the back and were looking at the sunset.

A/N: not much of a cliffy, but I'm getting used to the idea of this. REVIEW OR YOU WILL REGRET IT. Just kidding. About the regret it stuff. Not about the review. Please review, it will get better if you do.
