Author's Note: Hello everyone! Thank you for the reviews and reading the last chapter of the story xD and once again, forgive me of any grammar/spelling errors Dx
Sima Yi laid quietly on his bed, the sun has set and the Xing Hua has finally grown tired and let him go home. He was exhausted, his feet were sore from all the running and his brain is numb from hearing the girl's voice, it is amazing how such a small human being can talk so much. He closed his eyes and was about to drift off into sleep when a small servant boy knocked on his door. Sima Yi groaned in annoyance but allowed the boy to come in. The servant walked in slowly and laid a letter along with a package and explained to Sima Yi that the packaged was addressed to him, after his explanations, the boy bowed quickly and left his room. Sima Yi stared at the package, it is rare for people to send packages to the Sima family now, since they have been moving so much, no one hardly knows where they are. He walked slowly towards the package and opened the letter on top of it. It was from Cao Cao, one of the emperor's most powerful warlords, the letter explained how he needed Sima Yi's help to bring China back to peace from Dong Zhou's attacks and he needed a man of intelligence to be his strategist. Sima Yi smiled, he was happy that someone has recognized his talent, but on the other hand, he does not wish to get involved with politics, and his family is already having a hard time fleeing from it. He closed the letter carefully and put it on a small table; all which is left now to open is the package.
The package, as it turns out, was nothing important, it was a purple hat, a strategist hat to be exact. It was lined with gold linings and a jewel in the middle, a string of fur pokes out in the back of hat, almost looking like a tail of an animal, and thinking that wasn't enough, there were two strips of purple cloth hanging from the hat. Sima Yi stared in confusion at the hat, it is definitely not a normal hat for a strategist, but strangely, the more he looks at the hat, the more he likes it, as if the strange hat has some sort of magical powers that draws Sima Yi to it. He took up the hat and put it on his head, the hat laid perfectly on top of his head, Sima Yi stared at himself in the mirror. He let out a small laughed, he looks ridiculous, but it does bring out something inside him that he had never seen before, something powerful, he didn't what it is, but whatever it is, he is quite fond of it. He smiled at himself in the mirror. "Maybe I will join Cao Cao after all" he thought to himself.
Cao Cao sighed as he sat in his seat impatiently. It's been a few days since he sent the package and the letter requesting for Sima Yi as his strategist, and still no word, no replies, nothing. Has Sima Yi simply ignored him? Or did one of his idiot servants delivered it to the wrong place? Cao Cao is a well-respected man, but not a patient one, he has no patience to wait for a mere peasant's reply, neither does he want to go down there himself to request for Sima Yi's help, he is not going to lose his face just because of some peasant. However, desperate times calls for desperate measures, over the past few days, Dong Zhou has spread his armies like wild fire, killing off civilians and burned villages as they go, if Cao Cao wants to ever have China back in his hands again, he better do something quick. He sighed, he had no choice, Cao Cao called his two servants before him and told them to get his horse saddled and prepare food for the road, Cao Cao, the reputable warlord, is going to Wen district.
Sima Yi smiled to himself, sitting before him was the great Cao Cao, asking for his help. He couldn't believe Cao Cao will go this far just to asked for his help, he thought that the warlord will just go find someone else, someone not as intelligent as him of course, but someone almost of his intelligence. But here is Cao Cao, sitting in front of him, almost begging him to come to his side and be his strategist. Sima Yi chuckled at the sight of Cao Cao begging him while trying to maintain his reputation, it is priceless. After 20 minutes of Cao Cao's pleading, Sima Yi accepted his offer and told Cao Cao that it would be a pleasure to work with a man such as he. Cao Cao's eyes brightened and told him all of the details of their current situation and telling him that he should be at the castle by the day after tomorrow. Sima Yi nodded and sent the happy Cao Cao away.
Sima Yi walked along the dirt road, he couldn't believe that he just accepted Cao Cao's offer, he is going to have so much power, imagine how much power he can gain from this. He smirked and was still deep in his thoughts of power and fame when a high squeal came from a distance, and before he knew it, he was tackled by a small but powerful object. Sima Yi failed to the floor, still wondering what was the object that hit him when a small face appeared in his vision. He sighed, it was Xing Hua again, of course still as hyper as ever, staring brightly into Sima Yi's eyes. Sima Yi pushed the girl aside and stood up, the small girl fail backwards and fail right on her butt, she let out a small scream of pain and stared angrily at Sima Yi, obviously not too please by his actions. Sima Yi flashed an evil smile and helped her up. "That hurt! Why are you so mean to me today?" she yelled. "Only a fool will think that she will not get anything back for tackling someone out of no where." Sima Yi replied, still with his famous evil smile on his face. Xing Hua made an angry face at him and punch him on the shoulders, it is strange how Sima Yi and her have become so close in such a short time, he almost didn't mind Xing Hua' constant tackle and stupid comments now. She is now apart of his life, she is the first true friend that Sima Yi has ever had. (Sima Yi fan girls: awwww!! Me: shut up! Fools D) He smiled as he watch the short girl tried to punch his face but couldn't because of their huge height difference, he leaned down and pinch her hard on the cheek, she let out a small scream in pain. Sima yi's smile widened, he motioned her to follow him and he led her near the small lake just on the outskirts of town. Xing Hua complained the whole way there, saying how he is always mean to her and one day she will get him back. Sima Yi said nothing but listened to her stupid complains, smiling at her foolishness. After they arrived at the lake, Xing Hua was still complaining, and suddenly, Sima Yi turned around and covered her mouth. "Lucky for you," he said "you will see no more of me by tomorrow." The girl's eyes widened, obviously shocked by his sudden announcement, her face turned from her usual playful face into a serious face. Sima Yi uncovered her mouth, wanting to know what Xing Hua will say, but surprisingly, she said nothing. She just stood there and stared at him. After a few minutes of silence, she slowly opened her mouth and tried to say something. "…Why?" she said. "Cao Cao asked me to be his strategist, I accepted his offer and I am going to leave for his castle tomorrow morning." Sima Yi replied calmly. After his reply, he saw something that has never been in Xing Hua's eyes before, tears, the small girl's eyes started to water and a few drops of tears came down on her face. Xing Hua wiped the tears away quickly and punched Sima YI in the stomach. Sima Yi groaned in pain and covered his stomach. "Why didn't you tell earlier? I want to go with you too! I am sure I will be of some use… Take me with you, please?!" she yelled, still with those big, watery eyes. Sima Yi stood up slowly, trying to calm the girl down. "I can't take you, cao Cao doesn't allow others to come with me." He said, still trying to calm her down. Xing Hua sniffed and nodded. Sima Yi wrapped his arms around the small girl, calming her, and telling her that they will meet again. The small girl nodded again and they said their good-byes.
Sima Yi arrived at the castle, exhausted from the trip, he walked slowly up the steps of the castle and walked into the castle. He was making his way through the giant hallway when he heard someone calling his name, he turned around and was shock by what he saw, Xing Hua is standing right in front of him, waving at him in a maid's outfit. Sima Yi looked down, not knowing what to do. "What is she doing here?" he thought to himself.
