A/N: I would just like to thank my first reviewers!
Blue Viper: I like your story a lot too. Please just bear with me on the pairings. I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if they were paired together. Thank you for reviewing dude! Yes...dude, you're a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes! That's a song you know.
Mr. Liz: I will update mine if you update yours. Your story is great as well. I like your pairing. I'm very curious to see how you will overcome their boundaries in kingdoms. Here's your reward for updating...another chapter. REVIEW OR PAY THE CONSEQUENCES!!! Dude...
Beautiful Beast Trainer: The pairing was something that I hoped would end up being what Gan Ning people want. Since I don't know whom he marries or if he does at all, and my favorite character is ssx, it seemed like fun. Plus I have two study hall periods per day. Hahahaha...keep reviewing!
Josh: I hereby swear that I will not stop writing this story in the middle of it. If I do you are free to yell at me. I have study hall anyway, so I write when I don't have homework. Which is usually never. High school is easier than I thought it would be.
Disclaimer: What more do you people want from me! NOTHING IN THIS FIC IS MINE EXCEPT THE PLOT!!!!!!! *Suffers breakdown*
Chapter 2: What if you're wrong?
=============================================================== Last time:
"Why did you defend me Lady Sun?" he asked. They were standing on the balcony looking at the sunset.
"Why? I don't know why really. I guess I just had a feeling that it wasn't you. I hate it when people are wrongfully accused. Even though you were a pirate, I can' help buy trust you." She responded. She turned to face him, and their eyes met. "There's something about you that I can't quite place."
They both looked back out at the red-orange sun for a while, so that they could gather their thoughts. Well, Gan Ning anyway. His trademark cocky laugh filled the air.
"And what would that be princess?"
"...I'll tell you later. Good night Gan Ning."
Sun began to walk to her quarters when Ning said, "Good night, Lady Sun."
She turned around and stared at him. "Just Shang Xiang. No 'lady' or 'princess' or I'll beat you up!" Her cheeriness seemed to be coming back from the heavy conversation seeing as she was grinning so broadly it went ear to ear.
"Well then, good night Shang Xiang." He repeated.
*End flashback*
"All right, I admit it...I..." he started.
"You what Ning?"
Ning nearly jumped five feet in the air he was so scared. When he caught his breath he looked up to see Da Qiao standing right behind him.
"W...ah...I thought...weren't you with Shang Xiang just now?"
"What are you talking about? You've been sitting up on this hill for an hour already." She informed him.
"Ah gees...stupid memories! Make me miss my whole day!" He kicked himself mentally for the blunder.
"And just what were you remembering? Some special time that was spent with the person you care about?"
"How did you know, you're not psychic are you?" a skeptic look crossed his face at the thought she could read minds.
'Not very bright off the battlefield is he?' She thought. "You just told me." Mentally she added, 'idiot'.
"Arrgh...well, then if you're so smart, you figure out who it is!"
"Sun Shang Xiang perhaps?"
Ning didn't say anything this time, but his face sure did! Da knew she hit the target, but kept questioning for fun.
"I knew it! You're blushing just because I mentioned her! What on earth do you do when you're around her then?" Da questioned.
"I either head for the hills or attempt to act normal." He stated with an ashamed look on his face.
Da paused a minute to think about what she just heard and what she already knows. Da did know that Sun liked someone who resembled her brother Ce in almost everything but looks. Gan Ning seemed to fit the bill. "I believe she likes you too Ning."
At this comment, Ning's face flared up the color scale to an inhumanely possible color of red. He looked like a tomato.
"Why don't you tell her Ning? Surely you're not scared?" Da always did love to tease people.
"I'm not scared!" This was just an effort to hide his truthful side saying that it was true.
"I don't believe you..."
"I'll tell her just to prove it!"
'My goodness I'm on a roll today...' Da thought.
It took a little while for Ning to realize what he just said, and what he meant to say. His pride had gotten in the way of his good sense, and he promised something he really was afraid, or nervous, of doing.
When it dawned on him that he had been tricked twice in the same ten minutes, he vowed to think before he acted again. (I don't know about you guys but I said that to myself more times than I can count and it doesn't work)
Da saw the realization hit Ning, while that devilish glint in her eye never faded. "No withdrawing in this battle Ning. Now you have to do it. If you want, I can help set it up, and make sure you're not interrupted."
Gan Ning suddenly left all the names he had been calling Da in the dust. He stared up at her for awhile. "But what if you're wrong?" He asked, finally able to regaining the ability of speech.
"What?"
"I said, what if you're wrong?"
"Wrong? About what?"
"About Sun's feelings...has she actually told you who she...likes?"
Da had to think about this one. "Well, no." She saw Ning's face go into a veil of deep despair. Quickly trying to cheer up the former pirate, she said, "but she HAS said that he reminds her of Sun Ce!"
"But that could be anyone!" he saw the 'three guesses who' look that Da sent him and said, "Excuse me for my extreme stupidity! I didn't think I was like Sun Ce at all until you mentioned it!"
~After a long unimportant conversation~
"Well, we'll just have to find out if she returns the feeling about you Ning."
"I can tell you one thing...I ain't doing it! You're her best friend; you have a better chance of finding out than me..." He stated flatly.
"And if I fail?" Da questioned.
"We'll just have to find out another way."
They said their good-byes and left for their own quarters. The plan was, was that Da would get her sister to help out Ning in his little love struggle. They would then pester Sun over and over until she gave in. If she didn't, the sisters would have to do some snooping around. An incredible feat considering all of the guards around Sun and her things. Sun Jian had ordered it for some unknown reason.
If all else failed, Ning would have to find out on his own...
A/N: Another chapter done dudes! R&R and I will spare you my wrath. No seriously, review. I never thought I would be the one saying this... it's a happy feeling. I encourage all of you to write your own fanfics. It gives you a sense of accomplishment and power.
