GN's Pov

Yes, I can finally see her... I waited this long and finally I will see her I cant wait...

XQ's Pov

Making my way towards Gan Ning I felt really eager and happy at the same time. I should really get a brownie point for what I did back there...

I told two of bodyguards to let Ning know of our...I meant my arrival. The other two stayed with me you know for protection reasons. The guards where silent the whole time. Everything was great until...

"Aggghh!" something pierced my upper right shoulder. What is it? Grasping and crying at the same time. I fell to my knees, as in a kneeling position. I reached my shaking hands slowly towards my upper shoulder...

The bodyguards tired to help..one of them went to tell Gan Ning about what happened. The other one stayed with me.

"Aggghh" it hurts when I move it..what is it. It felt like a long stick. I felt the ends where feathers groomed it. An ARROW!!! Who did this. Why did they do this. Lady Sun...she had to..all because she's jealous of me and Ning's relationship or was it the enemy, but how. How could the enemy get back here, this far? Crying...I wondered why, why me, why this? The bodyguard tired helplessly to help me. Then...he too got injured...in his neck, the arrow pierced him cleanly. I shrieked.Then guards fell to the floor. In my disbelief, I heard foot steps. I got happy and scared at the same time.

Thinking that it was either Gan Ning or the killer...

GN's Pov

Where is she? Maybe I'll just keep right on waiting. I've waited this damn long why not wait some more, huh!!

What the-

I began to see 3 of my PB(personal bodyguard)'s run towards me like crazy.Yelling and...yellin or was it screaming.

" Yeah, what's wrong and why in the hell are you grasping like that. Where is Xiao Qiao?"

"Sir,Xiao Qiao...Xiao Qaio's in trouble!!" Ling replyed in an fixed tone.

"Trouble. What kind of trouble. What in the hell happened to her?"

"An arrow...an arrow pierced her upper right shoulder. Sir she told us-" that's I need to know..

"Where is she?"

"That way," He point in the direction they just ran from " Gene is there with her."

"Good." I grabbed my sword and ran towards her...

Hold on Xiao...I'm coming!!

XQ's Pov

"Sorry Xiao, but if I cant have you neither can he." Zhou Yu. Him out of all people. Why? If he really cared about me then why would he try to kill me "You could have been single or had sex with 100 men maybe, but why? Why, him?" I was amazed...I couldnt speak..."Why, Xiao Qiao? You've only know him for a month or two and you're in love with him already!!! Why?" he looked at me angerly. "Answer me damn it..." I looked away still in my kneeling position. I began to cry... "Answer me Xiao Qiao!!" he began to yell...

"Because I love him that's why!!" I shrieked "I kinda felt you wouldnt let it go, Zhou Yu." he looked at me puzzled.

"You knew. If you knew then why in the hell did you go anyway?" I stood up, shaking, panicking

"I wanted to be free for once. I wanted to as I pleased. Thats why I love him so much. He lets me express myself like I want to. He lets me be free like I want to." Zhou Yu starts to cry then he shouts. I laugh. "You, see he loves me for who I am not how I am or how I should be. He truely loves me...unconditionally."

"Xiao, please, why?" I smiled at Zhou Yu and replyed weakly

"So I could be free..." I fell to the ground and everything seemed to be pitch black and all I could hear was the crying and yelling of a man I onced love. Mixed in with the sounds of cannon balls busting out a the enemy. It seems that I too was the enemy. The enemy of love...

GN's Pov

When I came closer and closer. All I heard was yellin... I turned the corner to see Xiao Qiao's helpless body lying there stiffly. As I was about to run towards her. Zhou Yu appeared. "Leave her!"I was astonished.

"Why?"

"Dont ask me, why just leave her there. I dont want you to touch her. How can you be the love of her life after just a month or two when I've been here all those years, NOT you!!" I yelled back at him..

"Not, the last couple of months you havent" I grew angry

"Yeah, thats only, because she was with you these last couple of months." I could see the ambition in his eyes, but I didnt care...

"You didnt seem to care about her when you where with Jan Qia did you?" he grew silent "Yeah, thats what I thought." I began walking toward Xiao Qiao.

"Dont touch her I mean it. I love her, you dont. I dont, not you." point his sword towards me, I was more angry. How in the hell does he loves her!?! "You, dont know how it feels to watch her with you like that."

"Oh, yeah. Well, if you love her so much why in the hell would you kill her. You jackass." he looked away "Yeah, it seems you dont love her to damn much!!" he looked at me. I could tell I was in for a fight so I put my hand on my sword.

The fire in his eyes told me that I would have to be cautious. He moved close to me...now from the looks of it he was going to attack. Sure enough, he sung and missed me only by a hair. I leaped back. He was angered, I could tell. Joking I yelled "You even swing like a jackass." He charged, so I pulled out my sword and charged.

We yelled at each. Ducking and dodging each others blows. Leaping around like crazy. I got the first hit in. I sliced his torso(stomach). He grasped in disbelief. Then he charged. Still, ducking and dodging...

"Agghh" he got me. He pierced my side. I pulled away, limping I laughed. This alerted him. To what I have no clue. He charged, I dodged. He knocked me down to the ground. I kicked his feet from under him. He too fell. We started tusing with each other on the ground. I kicked him away from me. I stood up. He too stood, though this took him some time.We both charged. Both of us started slicing and dicing each other up. Until...

"Aggh" we both shrieked. He got me and I got him. We both were turned backwards to each other. Our swords were in each other's back...

All I could think was "This is it!!".

It was it. It was over for the both of us. Including for Xiao Qiao. It was over for all of us.
