Okay so after this update this fic will probably be in M! That means that things are going to get a bit more sexual and if you don't like that then stop reading this fic after this chapter. (Wow that's a long warning.)

Chapter7) Soft confessions

LU Xun didn't understand why he was shaking as he walked towards Zhang He. Lu Xun stared at Zhang He with a cold expression as he shoved Zhang He against the wall placing the dagger right along side his face.

"You are a complete idiot!" Lu Xun laughed half heartedly. "Telling your captive where a dagger was then telling them that they could get away with killing you! You're asking to die!" Lu Xun laughed. Zhang He really had to have had a death wish, from the way the guy used to go into battle to right now.

"Maybe, but you said earlier we're not enemies or were you just trying to sweet talk me so you could try and escape again the minute I thought I had won?" Zhang He asked acting as if the blade wasn't there. Lu Xun couldn't believe it. Zhang He the idiot who ran into the middle of a group of enemy soldier who told him where a weapon was so he could kill him wasn't an idiot? It didn't make sense… He had to have a death wish. But why?... Not that it mattered.

"So if you knew what I was planning then why tell me where to find a dagger?" Lu Xun asked tapping the flat part of the blade against Zhang He's cheek.

"That's none of your business but think Lu Xun. Do you have any idea what's outside? Wei! Not Wu. Wei. And you're an official from Wu whether the wars over or not. You'll be killed, maybe even humiliated before your death. You have no place to go. You're trapped and no one will help you! NO one! They'll do what they please till they've had enough of torturing you then they'll leave you for death." Zhang He said his voice cracking a few times, anger that wasn't really clear to whom it was directed at was also in his voice. Lu Xun stared again shocked by what Zhang He had said. "I told you already I bought you because no else deserves you and because you don't deserve what they'd put you through."

"So you're saying you think I'm not clever enough to escape Wei? Is that it." Lu Xun asked it was just easier to ignore the rest of what Zhang He might have been saying it was the only way.

"No I'm not yet what if you did get caught." Zhang He asked. "What would you do?"

"I don't need to answer that because I'm going to succeed!"

"Then do it! Kill me and run far away and find your freedom!" Zhang He yelled his voice shaking his eye locked with Lu Xun's. Lu Xun pulled the dagger back away from Zhang He's face and prepared to drive it into the man's heart, yet Zhang He kept the same expression. Zhang He flinched hissing in pain as the dagger cut his shoulder.

"No… I'm not going to ever do what you want me to!" Lu Xun said dropping the dagger to the floor and walking over to his cot. Zhang He lightly touched the new wound to see how bad it was and it wasn't that bad at all. He didn't even bother to pick up the knife as he headed towards the door. "HEY!" Lu Xun yelled rushing over to the knife then towards Zhang He. "Who said you could leave yet! I have question for you!" Lu Xun yelled.

"And what makes you think I'd answer them hmm? The way you're acting I'd never tell you anything." Zhang He said, praying that his voice had stopped shaking, and wished Lu Xun would let him go. He needed to freshen up a bit. Lu Xun did notice that unlike a few moments ago Zhang He wouldn't even look at him, he had to know something of either what would happen to him…. But that didn't matter right? What would they do kill him?

"Is anyone besides me from Wu alive?" Lu Xun asked.

"I don't think so… If they were you probably wouldn't be here."

"What? Why?" LU Xun demanded.

"Never mind." Zhang He said. "Now please I'd either like to go to sleep or preferably bath if you don't mind." Zhang He said and Lu Xun lowered the knife, but not so much because Zhang He had asked as to the fact he really could be the only survivor. "I'll see you in a bit Lu Xun." Zhang He said leaving the room and leaving Lu Xun to his thought. Lu Xun numbly walked over to the cot and placed his head in his hands. Every one of them dead?... But then again Zhang He said he didn't think so but what of the second part. Damn all his friends the people who had become closer than anyone else. All were dead. Lu Xun let out a soft cry as he realized it was truly over no hope anywhere even if he were to kill Zhang He what was the point, now.

After a nice long soak Zhang He returned to the room, in a much better state then before. He paused outside the door hearing the soft whimper like cries. Slowly Zhang He opened the door to see Lu Xun curled up in a tight ball on the cot crying very softly in his sleep. Zhang He knew Lu Xun would probably yell at him again, for trying to comfort him but he didn't care right now. Picking up the dagger and hiding it again Zhang he then walked over to where Lu Xun lie asleep. Lu Xun woke up slightly as he felt himself being lifted off of the cot. He vaguely made out Zhang He's but when he did he stiffened this was it, his worst nightmare, coming true. Zhang He laid him down on his bed and began to stroke his cheek.

"Shhhhhh…. It's alright." Zhang He cooed, somehow making Lu Xun relax just a little. "I wouldn't never let anything that happened to me happen to some one as admirable as you Lu Xun." Zhang He whispered softly before covering Lu Xun up with blankets and lying next to him. Zhang He continued to stroke and whisper soft promises to Lu Xun till he himself fell a sleep leaving Lu Xun pondering what he meant by all the soft promises. Lu Xun turned over so he could see Zhang He, and it surprised him how sad and bothered he looked while he slept. Closing his eye Lu Xun forced his mind to think of nothing and tried to get some sleep even though things were really starting to bother him. Yet it wasn't annoyance so much as worry and… pity?

Author's Note hope you like it. Next chapter will most likely move this story to M for Mature and that's where it was be if it does happen. So if this story randomly disappears don't worry the rating just went higher.
