Dancing With The Blossoms

Thank you for your reviews! I'm so thankful! (Bows) I wish the little stars worked...It makes it so perty...but anyway! As promised here's another chapter! I'm trying to get it all done as soon as possible just in case something happens and I can't update in forever again.

Chapter eight

"C'mon Da!" Sun Ce yelled, running forward as fast as his legs could carry him. They were still following the tracks, though it was only becoming more treacherous as they went, for now the mud had become slippery and the hill they were climbing just seemed to be getting worse as they went.

"Lord Sun Ce wait for me!" Da Qiao cried as her husband disappeared over the crest of the hill. She was knee deep in some sludge, doing her best to walk in Sun Ce's footprints, and keep track of the kidnapper's as well. Suddenly she heard her husband give a strangled yell and then a longer one that faded until there was a horrendous WHAM on the other side of the hill.

"WHAT THE-?" She heard him cry, as she raced up the hill as fast as could, in the end she was forced to leave her shoes behind to sink in the mud as she ran. At the top of the hill she saw something that made her heart leap to her throat. Sun Ce was lying on the ground, holding his head surrounded by five or six burly soldiers. "Hey, don't you guys know who I am?"

"LORD SUN CE!" Da Qiao cried, starting to race down the hill, only to trip over a stick she missed in her haste and tumbling down the hill, colliding with one of the soldiers and her husband.

"Aww Da, you ruined it, now they know who I am," Sun Ce laughed, lifting his mud covered wife up out of the mud.

"Forgive me my lord, I shall not do that again." Da said quietly, taking out a small fan that she kept with her just in case.

"Hey, take it easy, as far as I'm concerned," Sun Ce withdrew his Tonfa from his belt, "These guys are just corpses.

Shu Encampment

Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao were, at the same moment that Ce was falling down the hill, talking to the Shu generals, Xing Cai and Zhao Yun. "And who are you again?" Xing Cai asked, pointing to Zhou Yu. Xiao Qiao opened her mouth to answer but Zhou Yu slapped a hand over her mouth quickly.

"I'm Zhou Yu's cousin, Zhou Mei." He winced, as it was the only name he could come up with...his best friends daughters name.

"Oh, I didn't know Lord Zhou Yu was on such good terms with his family." Xing Cai murmured to herself.

"He isn't, he left as soon as I came." Zhou Yu lied, as Xiao Qiao wriggled under his hand. Reluctantly, he let the hand drop.

"I see, so how does Wu fare without their chief strategist?" Xing Cai asked.

"I am sufficient, however, that is why we need to rescue Lord Lu Xun. Will you accompany us under the good will of our alliance?"

"If it is the Lady Sun Shang Xiang's wish then we cannot disagree." Zhao Yun said nodding.

"I suppose I will go to," Xing Cai said, nodding as well, and picking up her weapon.

"Excellent, Xiao, let's tell Lady Shang Xiang."

"Okay!"

Wei encampment

The door opened suddenly with a bang. Lu Xun backed away from Zhang He as the general approached. "Here, put this on." Zhang He threw Lu Xun a tight fitting dress. "It should fit, I borrowed it from Zhen Ji."

Lu Xun paused for a moment before slipping the purple garment on. "It's a sleeping gown," Lu Xun said, mildly surprised at the discomfort.

"Yes, well, Zhen Ji does seem to like uncomfortable thing's. That's the price of beauty." Zhang He reached forward to touch Lu Xun on the arm. Lu Xun backed off as far as the chain on his foot would let him. "You must learn to trust people or you will never have children!" Zhang He said, sighing.

Lu Xun squeaked, and backed up some more. "I'm sure you could find someone else you know..."

Zhang He sniffed. "You're right, I had wanted to kidnap your little friend, the one who did this," He pointed to a long scar along his chest. "But she was just so beautiful, such beauty would be tainted by my hands...so I cut some of her hair instead, and it was so..." The drifted off and daydreamed for a good ten minutes until coming to again. "Beautiful!" the man leapt up off the bed and started dancing.

'Oh man, it figures, I get kidnaped by Wei's psyco!' Lu Xun groaned and put his head in his hands. The door opened a moment later, and Lu Xun looked up and screamed in surprise.

There stood Sima Yi, wringing his hands and looking at him eagerly. "It worked!" Sima Yi cried, walking over to Lu Xun and grabbing his chin between his fingers, ignoring Zhang He's cries of my beauty! "The potion actually worked! Which one are you? Lu Xun or Zhou Yu? Hmm...you must be Lu Xun. How does it feel to be the opposite gender child? Are you getting used to it? If it was brewed right, you should start acting more feminine...are you growing shorter? Hmm, it seems you already have. Yes, the potion is working! Have you had any sexual urges for males yet? What do you mean 'no'. Well, I guarantee that the other one is. We shall see, we shall see."

Lu Xun twisted and turned in the man's grasp, glaring as fiercely as he could. "You're the one who gave us the potion and transformed us!"

Sima Yi smirked, "Of course! You don't think that Zhuge Liang could ever think up something as clever do you? What? Do you want the antidote? Well, sadly it's back at He Fei castle, you'd better hurry though, the potion becomes permanent in a matter of five more days. And even with the antidote, all your girlish traits will stay the same. Isn't it fabulous?" Sima Yi cried, laughing. He took out a small purple bottle. "Here it is, the potion that causes so much grief! But let me tell you, with so many Wu officer's out searching for you, annihilating the Wu camp should not be a problem at all! Thank you my dear!" Sima Yi grabbed Lu Xun's hand and gave him a kiss on the back of it.

Lu Xun struggled against the chain as Sima Yi ran out the door laughing. "I see," Zhang He murmured, sighing, "it was true that the two of you look like those beautiful strategists, but I assumed you were some beautiful relations. However, Sima Yi deserted me, and I have no desire to help him any more. So," Zhang He pulled the chain off Lu Xun's ankle. "You can go. It is a pity though...if you had been a girl, we could have been so happy..." Zhang He sighed, tossing Lu Xun some undergarments, which he still had hidden, and left the tent.

I don't know if this is what I wanted exactly, but if no one gets confused in Sima Yi's blabbing, everything should be okay. And I am doing my best to update before we lose the internet again, so please hang in there my friends!

I pretty much know where this is going now, but I could still use idea's and opinions, though the story might be over in a few chapters, I hope you can still enjoy this! Till the next post, ch'ao! And I still looove reviews! The button...its so shiny! Must...press!
