Zhou Fei profile: female edit character from Koei which using one handed sword and a shield. Went into the battle with full valkyrie armor. Short hair, white skin almost as pale as Zhou Yu, but contrary to her brother, she was someone who acted before thinking which usually lead her into trouble. When she wasn't in battle, one could spot her with male outfit, yes she hated dresses. The one and only that could trigger Zhou Yu playful side. Cheerful and childish but sometimes arrogant and a little sadistic.

Pocky Love

Part Three

"Heh, never thought that you like Xiang. How come you never told me?" Zhou Fei was sitting with her blue Chinese outfit and white pant in front of her brother, who was now blushing slightly.

"I never told anyone…"

"You not even trust me do you, brother?" she said pouting.

"It's not like that. Why did you wear a male outfit again?" Avoiding the topic, Zhou Yu groaned. Zhou Fei surveyed on her outfit before locking her own eyes toward his long hair brother.

"Male outfit was more comfy." She was smirking lightly while Yu rolled his eyes. "If you don't believe me, you can try some female dress if you want." She continued grinning evilly which made Zhou Yu to widen his eyes in horror. "Hem not a bad idea, I think I can take one dress from the market and …" she trailed. Zhou Yu could only shudder and moved away. His sister could be a little sadistic and not like him who was thinking before his act; his sister was act first which sometimes led her into trouble. Not like she brainless, if she wanted, she could be a strategist like him. Too bad, that she liked martial art more than book. On second thought, Sun Shang Xiang was quite similar to his sister…

He unconsciously smiled when he remembered what happen yesterday, yes he was glad that Sun Shang Xiang loved him back, more over Sun Jian also gave him permission to court her. A warm breeze blew toward his sensitive ear made him almost jumped. Rubbing his ear and blushing slightly, he barked at his sister who was chuckling, running toward the door. So a challenge heh? Zhou Yu never acted like this in public but if he only with his sister… he was chasing the girl and managed to catch her on time before she even moved out.

"Hey!" she said when her brother hands locking her waist and carried her up on his shoulder. "Brother, put me down!"

"No." he said grinning when he carried her toward his bed, he could feel the hitting on his back though but it was not even hurt. Fast but careful, he slammed her onto the bed. She was ready to glare before the long hair strategist went to tickle her side.

"Stop hahaha that!" yelling as she laughing uncontrollable, oh no, Zhou Yu wouldn't stop until she begged; as he tickled her more he chuckled slightly. They were quite preoccupied not realizing someone who opened the door and watched them in amused. A giggle snapped him from his tickling task.

"Gasp, Shang Xiang." He said before his felt a pull on his collar. Zhou Fei used the moment to pull him down to her side and quickly she put her hand above her brother neck, almost looked like an alpha wolf stopping his pack member from doing something awful. "Ow…" he let out a grunt from sudden movement plus his sister was now sitting on his stomach.

"Hah! I win, brother." She said smirking, supporting her weight, not to injured her own brother. Then smiling she looked toward Shang Xiang. "Yo." She said before coming down from the bed. Zhou Yu was finally sat up and managed his own hair; a blush still could be seen on his face. "Oh well, I should go now. Enjoy you two." She said but paused in front of lady Sun. "Be careful, brother Yu could be such a wolf." Hearing the comment, Sun Shang Xiang couldn't help but chuckle. 'Fei' was the only word she heard from her brother's mouth before she ran out.

Shin

Sangoku

Musou

Ling Tong was wondering in his room, his pocky sticks were still untouched on the table. Should he or shouldn't he? Looking at Sun Shang Xiang's achievement and Sun Ce's awfully cheerful mood in the morning, the pocky stick was quite effective. But should he? His condition was quite different; Sun Shang Xiang was Sun Jian's daughter, even if Zhou Yu didn't like her back, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on her; meanwhile Sun Ce was engaged with Da Qiao, soon or later even without this pocky thing, they would eventually together. Sigh…he dropped his head onto the table. What should he do?

When Sun Ce recruited Zhou Yu as his strategist, his beloved sister also moved to the palace. From then on, she proved to everyone that she too, liked Sun Jian daughter, was capable in battle, her arrogant attitude was more than Zhou Yu sometimes, plus she liked to tease or blackmail everyone if she could. Blamed her or Gan Ning if there was commotion on the palace, even Xiao Qiao could be her partner in crime sometimes.

He never knew when he started to develop this new kind of feeling, it was just one day, he realized that he liked her. Many times he had mentally snapped himself from staring at her. Another sigh…

"Are you all right?" Ling Tong quickly looked up and found Zhou Fei who raising one of her eyes brown up.

"How, when did you come in?"

"I knocked the door minute ago and no one answer, but since I heard a noise inside…" she trailed before she sat down on one of the chair. "You seem ungenki (no energy) today hn?" she continued when finally her eyes spotted the pocky stick. Moving closer to have a good look at it, she finally took one from the handkerchief. "What this?"

"um… food."

"Food?" she lifted her eyes brown "Never saw something like this."

"I got it yesterday from some em strange shop."

"Hem." She shrugged when she put the stick inside her mouth. Chewing slightly, she took another bite from it "hem this good." He was eyeing the girl quietly before talked in hesitated.

"Cough, there're another function beside being a sweet treat." He said, blushing a little.

"Aaa?" pausing from putting the rest of pocky stick on her hand. "Another function? What's that?"

"Nothing…" annoyed when someone started something and stopped in the middle of it, she pouted

"You don't want me to know, do you?"

"No, it's not…"

"So why did you stop?"

"…" he wished that she wouldn't hear his rapid heart beat, but should he? That would be like a coward… wait was he a coward because he didn't dare to kiss her or was he a coward because he did want to kiss her before she even knew? "Promise me one thing."

"What thing?"

"Don't mad at me when I show you…" damn Ling Tong you are a coward…

"Fine." She said while putting the half pocky stick she bite into her mouth. With that word, he moved forward to swallow the other end and met her lips, breaking the pocky into his mouth; he hesitantly moved back while swallowing the sweet. She was too stunned to react but second later, her mind clicked and quickly she slapped his face.

"Coward." She yelled while Ling Tong rubbed his face. She angrily moved toward the door and went outside, leaving the man alone.

"Baka… (Stupid)." He said to himself, not really care of the burning sensation on his cheek.

Dynasty

Warrior

Zhou Fei was lying on her bed, she was furious, how could he? She trusted that idiot completely and then second later he stole her first kiss. Coward… Zhou Yu also been treated that way from Sun Shang Xiang, but he was not mad. No, Shang Xiang was female and she was brave enough to kiss her brother. Wait did that mean Ling Tong was brave too? For kissing her? No! That was a coward… or if it really matter?

Knock, knock…

"Come in." she muttered under her breath but still loud enough. Zhou Yu's head was pop in from outside. His usual cold face changed when he spotted his sister face looked so gloom. Slowly he came in and closed the door; quietly he made his way toward Zhou Fei, sensing that something was wrong, very wrong.

"… Fei, are you all right?" silent, Zhou Yu's hand raised to touch her shoulder but before he did, he moved it back.

"Brother…" the short hair girl finally looked at him in the eyes "Can I ask you something?" looking at her seriousness, he nodded.

"… how did you feel when Shang Xiang kiss you?" taken back by the sudden question, Zhou Yu twitched slightly before he coughed. He stared at her for a while before he decided to answer.

"I was shock at first; I never thought she would kiss me."

"Uh huh. Then?"

"I was glad."

"…"

"… I do know that she always gazed at me from afar whenever I'm on training." A paused before he continued "She seem to like me but, I just want to make sure." A chuckle "That was just an excuse… I am too afraid to say that three words to her I guess…"

"So when she kissed you, you confessed to her."

"Heh, such a coward, didn't I?" he said smiling sheepishly as he rub his hair. "What happen to you?" he finally asked.

"… Ling Tong had just kissed me."

"What!!" he stated as he stood up. "How dare him!" For the first time, he was acting instinctly, but this was his beloved sister for God sake! He was ready to storm outside if not for a hand that stopped him.

"Wait a minutes, Bro." she held him and pulled him down onto the bed again. A sigh could be heard as he calmed down. He looked at her, and placed his hand on her cheek.

"Did he hurt you?" Zhou Fei paused for a while before she shook her head.

"I slapped him."

"He deserved that…" he said glaring at no one

"Is that mean Shang Xiang deserved to be slapped too?"

"… male and female act and think differently, maybe that's why." Another pause as he tried to find the right words. "That's why, when Xiang kissed me, I would say she was brave, and when Ling Tong do that…"

"He was a coward…" she continued her brother sentences.

"Do you love him?"

"Am I?" a chuckle

"I don't know, but I could only say one thing, follow your own heart." A paused.

"Sometimes I wonder if you are nineteen, brother."

"I'm more like 50 years old granddad?" he said chuckling, glad that she began to giggle too.
