Kiwi: Yes, I know, I still haven't found them yet, but mind you, these chapters are rushed so that lemon comes in the next chapter. Yes, I'll do oneshots. Send me theme suggestions, I'll post your nickname up in the story that wins the suggestion race. I'll be adding three oneshots. I will title each the place they are in (#1, #2, #3) So, start coming up with good ideas!
Inarshio: Oh, I'm so excited!
Kiwi: Congratu-fricken-lations.
Inarshio: That's mean, but I guess you have to be mean in order to know how a rape might go...
Kiwi: glares daggers at her Harumph. Anyways, enjoy the next chapter!
不要看我! Don't Look At Me!
Several Nights Later…
"Oi, Long, you have a visitor." A guard rapped at the cell bars. LongHua refused to budge. Or, at least he seemed to. "Are you sure you want to see him…? He might be dead…"
"He's fine. After all, why else would LongHua be so legendary? He is considered invincible. A little bit of starvation won't kill him. He's just faking to gain your pity."
LongHua still did not bother to flinch at the words the visitor spat at him. The cell door slid open and light footsteps enter and stop near LongHua's head. The cell door slides shut with a loud slam.
LongHua shifts so that he can lie on his side, then he hisses through his gritted teeth as he held his bruised sides from the bumpy ride down the stairs. "You cheated on your husband. You filthy whore."
"Do you honestly think that people will believe you? Foolish boy. Such lies you tell."
" I know about your little flimsy affairs with JunTai."
"Oh? And what else do you know? Where the Emperor's Seal is hidden?"
LongHua's eyebrow twitches and he sits up and spits at her face. "You disgust me."
MeiLin wiped the insult off her cheek, smiling innocently. "Did your mother do you any manners?"
LongHua lets out a mocking chuckle. "As I would say you. Did your mother tell you never to play with the wrong people?"
MeiLin scowled and immediately straightened herself out again. "Filthy commoner. I let you into my home and yet you steal my things? I should have never trusted you and people of your low class."
"Before you married Jing, you were a lower class than I. I am the strongest warrior in all of China."
MeiLin ignored the statement and kicked him. "You better watch out, or else you'll have to say goodbye to your wife and child." LongHua's eyes widened at that retort, and his thoughts drifted back to the beautiful KaiYue, and her two-year old child, XiaoYue (The "Yue"s are totally different! XiaoYue means "little moon" and KaiYue means "joy".)
Then, a small smirk widens across his face. "Ho, so that's how you play your game. Too bad for you, though, seems like JunTai has told you lies as well. Once I found out about your affair with JunTai, I sent my family over the ocean to a new land, where you'll never find them. Oh, and to mind you, she's not my wife, she's my lover and mother of my child."
"Oh, I doubt that. Finding a girl with such scary eyes and yet such beautiful grace and intensity is not that hard to find, no matter where you go." MeiLin's eyes narrowed at the thought of JunTai lying to her.
MeiLin laughs and raps at the cell bars. The guard comes to unlock it and waits. She steps out and the guard locks the cell up again after her, then walks off back to his post down the far corridor of the dungeons. MeiLin looks through the bars at the filthy LongHua. His azure eyes burned brightly and his hair was still eye-blinding, even if there was dirt in between the strands. She smiles one more time and starts walking away.
"If you do anything to Jing, you will pay a price… A very hefty one, too." LongHua laughs after her, his arms slumping out of the bars. His eyes were in a peculiar look, as if he knew what was going to happen.
MeiLin frowns, but smiles again. "A price I'm willing to pay for the throne that oversees the country of Tang."(1)
"Of course, you're so full of yourself, you think you can pay a price for the whole world to be in your hands, no?" LongHua smirks, a shadow befalling his eyes.
MeiLin brushes the comment away and starts wondering out loud. "Mm… JunTai will make a wonderful husband, no? He shall oversee Tang by my side. I will rid of the nuisance in my rightful seat. You will see… With all this raging war between countries, it will be easy to slip Tang into the head and we will conquer all of China!" Then, she quickly scurries away.
LongHua stares after her with an intense interest. Then, he looks up at the stone ceiling, and he feels as if he can look through that, into the room above him, and through the palace roofs and into the sky above. He was never locked up. He was always free, and he knew that. Tang will not win. Not with MeiLin nor JunTai on the thrones.
Several hours later…
Light, carefree steps stop in front of LongHua's imprisonment again, but LongHua knew it wasn't MeiLin this time. He sat in the shadows, not looking up, and he silently waited.
"LongHua, it's been quite some time, don't you think?"
LongHua leapt up and slammed into the bars, his cerulean eyes blazing red and he was crying blood.
"Oh, so your demon has come out. What intense anger…" JunTai marveled the creature. "Ever since that strange wave of energy across China, the day you were born, nothing had ever been the same. Everyone was shrouded in fear, and that drove them insane."
"You assassinated Jing! You will never get away with this…!"
"Oh, this time, it's not my fault."
LongHua hissed when he heard "this time" come out of JunTai's mouth. "You killed Jing's parents, too!"
JunTai ignored him and continued. "Imagine what mercury can do to the body...including when it is poured into the drink or food of someone." He paced back and forth, waving his hand every now and then in his speech.
"So that explains their sudden deaths! You, even as a young child, how could you?!" LongHua's grip on the bars of the cell tightened.
"It was quite funny. There he stopped....silent....even the guests were shocked the the royal highness had stopped socializing. Then.... he dropped dead. You would not believe the music that rang in my ears. The sound of screams and terror, it was all just too beautiful. Now all I have to do, is eliminate the last person in the way."
LongHua covered his ears in terror. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! YOU MERCILESS, COLD-BLOODED MURDERER! I HATE YOU!!!!"
JunTai chuckled darkly as he pulled out a ring of keys and slipped one into the lock. "Aww.... LongHua.... You're quite… Well, in your sense, beautiful, but, not quite as Empress MeiLin." He stepped in and he locked himself inside the cell with him.
LongHua immediately backs up into a wall, cursing the fact that he was in such a small space.
Okay, here are the explanations for all the things that probably didn't make sense in this chapter:
The two "Yue"s - There is the yue for moon (From XiaoYue): 月
And the "Yue" in my name(From KaiYue): 悦
KaiYue - Hinata
XiaoYue - Konohamaru
Tang - Long before anyone had discovered China, China was split into many, many countries within itself. There was the Zhong (Which is now known as China) kingdom. Soon, all the kingdoms had gone into war for the whole country. Zhong won, thus it was named "ZhongGuo", which Americans translated into China.
Oh, and in this story, Sasuke is about five to ten years older than Naruto (I dunno! I was making up the years as I went! .)
Inarshio: Dun dun dun!
Kiwi: Yeah, okay, I'll let you do this instead since you're so hyped up. I need... *yawn* some sleep... falls asleep on her shoulder
Inarshio: Hey! collaspes under Kiwi You're heavy! crawls out from under her and dusts self off Okay, then, minna! I hope you liked this chapter as well, Kiwi spent the night until 3:00 making sure this was all right, then got back on to post it up. So, don't leave nasty remarks if you have any, and don't post anything at all. Send in review that are constructive, alright? Kiwi wants to improve your writing. See you in the next chapter!
