To Hell & Back Again

Chapter 10: To Chi Bi part III

Zhou Yu felt extreme joy when he heard that he was going home. He couldn't wait to see everyone, especially Sun Ce. Hell, he would be happy to see Zhuge Liang, even after all the things the horrid man did to him. Yu just didn't care.

He knew how this night would go. He would go back, do whatever it was they needed or asked him to do, he would have a drink in celebration, then he would retire to his tent, or enjoy Sun Ce's company in Ce's tent. Oh how he couldn't wait to get back home!

The group proceeded with caution and swiftness. Sun Shang Xiang was in the front of the group, bow ready to fire at any enemy. Zhao Yun was at the back watching for any signs of an ambush unit or any surprise attacks. Zhou Yu followed along after Sun Shang Xiang, not even paying attention to his two escorts.

As they neared the encampment, Zhou Yu only felt happier. He knew that they were near to the camp. He could tell by the smell of burning firewood and food. He felt as though nothing could ruin his mood. That was until he heard the all too familiar voice of Zhang Liao not far behind them. "Lord Zhou Yu?" Zhou Yu stopped dead in his tracks, while his guards turned to defend him. Their weapons were pointed at Liao, ready to attack. Sun Shang Xiang's bow was poised and ready to fire, aiming to kill. Zhao Yun, on the other hand, was in front of Zhou Yu in a defensive stance, his spear shining in the moonlight.

When Zhou Yu turned around, his happiness faded away when he looked at none other than Zhang Liao. Liao was standing next to a small tree, with a bunch of wood in his arms, His expression showed confusion, then hurt. Yu's previous happiness was now replaced by guilt. The full blast of all that Zhou Yu was leaving hit him. Hard. He was leaving Zhang Liao, a good friend, behind. He was leaving Little Ying behind without the knowledge he had promised to give her. He did not mind leaving Gou Si or Diao Chan. He could live without them. Although, he did not know about Lu Bu. He did not know him very well, but oddly, he didn't want to leave. It could have been fear from feeling his wrath again... He just didn't know.

"Zhou Yu..." Zhang Liao repeated, this time with a hint of disappointment. Yu felt a pang of guilt in his chest and hung his head, in shame.

"I'm sorry," was all he said. Suddenly, he bolted into a run for the Shu camp. Sun Shang Xiang and Zhao Yun were right behind him.

Zhou Yu did not stop until he was well into the camp. When he stopped, he collapsed onto his knees. As he tried to catch his breath, he kept down the bile that was climbing up his throat. Shang Xiang was next to him soon after he fell. She rubbed his back, trying to get him to calm down at least a little. Once his breathing was back to normal, Zhao Yun spoke.

"Come. Everyone is waiting," he said. Zhou Yu stood and covered his mouth, still feeling sick. He let the two of them lead him to the tent with everyone in it. Before he went in, he fixed his clothes and tried to tame his disheveled hair. He sighed and opened the tent flap.

Everyone's eyes turned to the entrance. Many of them smiled. Some had to suppress the urge to jump on him and hug him, while others did not. Lu Xun was hugging the daylights out of Yu as soon as he stepped one foot into the room.

"Lord Zhou Yu!" he yelled. "Welcome back!" Zhou Yu let a smile fall upon his lips. Yu patted Lu Xun on the head.

"It is good to be back," Zhou Yu replied. Zhou Yu looked around the room, looking at every person there. When his eyes fell on Sun Ce, he stopped again. He felt a small bit of fear build up in him. What would he think? Would Sun Ce accept him?

Lu Xun felt Zhou Yu's uneasiness and let him go. Zhou Yu stayed where he was. Sun Ce stood and went over to him. Zhou Yu lowered his head, not wanting to look him in the eyes. Ce knew this and felt like lightening the mood.

"Tell me," Ce started. "How is it a bloke like you, could stand being in the same castle as the swine for over a month?" Zhou Yu looked up slowly, his smile renewed.

"Easy when said pig died a month ago," Zhou Yu smiled. Zhuge Liang raised an eyebrow. "Lu Bu killed him. He had mistaken me for Diao Chan, so..." Yu trailed off. "To put it bluntly, Lu Bu beheaded him." Disgusted faces were all around the room at the thought.

"I pity the person who had to clean it up!" Ce joked. Everyone laughed. After the laughter died down, Sun Ce took Yu's hand and lead him to the table.

"Perhaps," said Sun Quan. "That is a story for another time." Yu knew he was referring to what he said, not Ce's joke. Yu nodded in agreement. Even though he was around friends, he was extremely uncomfortable being here. I guess it is to be expected after all I have been through. : Zhou Yu thought, dismissing the matter immediately. He pushed it to the farthest part of his mind. He had more important things to deal with.

"So, why is it both Wu and Shu are here? Planning to attack Wei?" Zhou Yu inquired.

"Yes, Lord Zhou Yu?" Lu Xun answered. "We were just making some battle plans before Lord Guan Yu informed us of your former position." Lu Xun bit his tongue. Zhou Yu knew what was going through his head. And he could take a really good guess at what was going on in the other's minds as well. He sighed and up straight.

"I know what you are thinking," Zhou Yu started. He looked around at all their faces. "I can assure you it is untrue. Dong Zhuo died the second day I was there. A lot of things happened and, oddly, Lu Bu appointed me to teach some of the servants basic knowledge. Unfortunately, there was an accident and Lu Bu was hurt so terribly that he did not wake up for a long time." Sun Shang Xiang gave him the 'nothing happened my ass" look. And out of the corner of his eye Zhao Yun was giving him the same look.

"Why didn't you leave?" Sun Ce asked, completely oblivious to the two glaring at Zhou Yu.

"I couldn't. I was being monitored at all times," Zhou Yu said, not looking at Ce, though he wasn't lying. "The person assigned to do so was Zhang Liao. I stayed in his room, with my own bed. He provided as protection from the other officers." The silence grew heavy. Zhou Yu began to feel even more uncomfortable with Shang Xiang and Zhao Yu glaring at him full force. "But tonight was different. Diao Chan took Zhang Liao to go looking for firewood, and left me all alone." By now you could hear a pin drop. "Now that that has been, let us get back to the battle strategies. Shall we?"

"Yes," Sun Quan said. "Before the interruption, Lu Xun had suggested a fire attack." No surprise there. He is a little firebug... "Though it is a good idea, the Wei forces are on boats."

"That is troublesome..." Zhou Yu replied. "But even if we do a fire attack, what about the supplied we need?"

"We have plenty of oil," Yue Ying piped up.

"That's all well and good but we need more than that," Zhou Yu said quickly.

"I saw some dried grass just outside the camp, maybe we could use that," Zhao Yun offered. "Though, now the question is: What are we going to do now that we can build a fire?"

"Simple. We put it on a boat that can connect to theirs," Liu Bei stated. "We have the boats."

"But this brings yet another problem," Zhou Yu added. "The wind. There is no telling which way it will blow." Zhuge Liang smiled.

"I will be praying at an alter so that the wind will be on our side," Zhuge Liang informed. "We also have a man on the other side willing to defect if our plans fail. I'm sure they won't, but either way he would defect." Zhou Yu nodded and Yawned.

"Tired Zhou Yu?" Sun Ce laughed. Zhou Yu smiled and playfully elbowed Ce in the side.

"Oh, shut up," Zhou Yu murmured.

"It wouldn't do for you to fall asleep on the battlefield in two days," Sun Quan said with a smile.

"Not like you all can put in your two coins," Zhou Yu playfully informed.

"True, but you still need sleep," Sun Ce replied.

"Yes, go and rest," Huang Gai commented. Zhou Yu looked to Sun Quan, his eyes asking to leave.

"I'll inform you of any to the plan tomorrow," Sun Quan said with a small smile.

"Thank you," Zhou Yu said and stood. "Good-night everyone." At that, Zhou Yu left the tent.

Sun Quan turned to Sun Ce. Ce had watched Zhou Yu as he left, and Sun Quan wasn't the only one who noticed. Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Lu Xun and Yue Ying did, too. Although, Zhuge Liang was the only one looking at Ce disapprovingly.

"Are you just going to sit there?" Yue Ying asked. "Or are you going to visit him?" Ce stared at the woman before he looked to Sun Quan. His brother nodded.

"Thanks!" Ce nearly yelled before he shot up and ran out the tent.

Zhou Yu was waiting outside for Sun Ce. When Sun Ce burst out of the ten, he immediately ran to Zhou Yu. He grabbed Zhou Yu's hand, dragging Yu in the direction of his tent. Yu didn't struggle; he knew he was in safe hands. However, a small alarm bell rang in his head that said danger. He ignored it, thinking he was a terrible person to not trust his childhood friend. Ce continued to drag him to his tent.

Once the two were safely in the tent, Ce pulled Zhou Yu close to him. Yu wrapped his arms around him, holding him just as close. Yu never wanted Ce to let go, in fear that this all may disappear if he did, just like in the nightmares he always had. Ce was afraid that if he blinked then Yu would be gone. Yu couldn't believe that he was actually back in Ce's embrace. The two of them just stayed like that for a few minutes.

Zhou Yu pulled back a little to look Ce in the eyes. Suddenly, Ce smashed their lips together. Again, Yu did not struggle. He wrapped his arms around Ce's neck, kissing him back. Yu could feel Ce's love in the kiss, so he, in turn, threw all of his love and passion into it as well.

Ce must have felt it because he began to fun his hand under Yu's shirt. Yu pulled away from Ce and Ce began to attack is neck with kisses and bites.

"Ce..." Yu tried but Ce just kept up his assault on Yu's neck. "Ce!" Yu tried again but was answered with a sharp bit into the junction between his shoulder and his neck. Yu gasped and moaned as Ce began to lick the wound. Ce felt Yu's hands run through his hair. "Sun Ce!" Yu nearly yelled as he tugged on Ce's hair to the point of pain. Ce finally let go and look back at Zhou Yu.

"What is it?" Ce asked.

"I don't want to do that today!" Yu answered. Ce's face fell to concern.

"Why not?" Ce inquired. Yu could sense a little hurt in his voice.

"Do not take this the wrong way. I love you, Ce. I really do," Yu started. "I'm just not in the mood tonight."

"Why is that, my love?" Ce said as he moved with Yu to sit on the bed.

"Too much has happened in such a small amount of time. I need time to think it all through," Yu replied. Ce cupped Yu's face and brought it to look at him.

"I understand that you are upset and worried with all that has happened. You are too stressed out," Ce said lovingly. "You have so much that is going on that you are having trouble dealing with it all. You need to relax a little."

"I would if I had the time!" Yu snapped. "I never have the time now because I'm always being taken away by someone for some sick reason!" Yu found himself looking staring into Ce's chest soon after he said that. The warmth of the embrace was almost overwhelming.

"I think you should have some time to get your mind off of it all," Ce said. "I can make that happen." This time, Ce's breath ghosted over Yu's ear. "I'll make everything go away. But only if you let me. Just one night... I promise, you will love it, Yu..."

Something about the way Ce said his name made him say yes. He did not know what it was but he couldn't tell if he should like it or if he should be scared.

Either way, it is irrelevant now. Yu's lips were again locked with Ce's, as Yu lay on the bed with Ce on top of him. Ce moaned into the heated kiss but pulled away to take off his shirt. Yu did the same before he pulled Ce's strong body back to him. Yu gasped as they finally met skin to skin. But his gasps turned into moans as Ce rubbed one of his nipples. Ce felt the nubs harden under his touch and he smiled. Yu pulled Ce down to kiss him again.

The kiss was rough, almost bruising. Ce pulled back and looked at the sight before him. Yu's hair was spread over the pillow like a halo, his beautiful dusty nipples perked, his eyes bright and sparkling, and his lovely lips were kiss swollen. Ce hissed him again, more gently thins time but not any less urgent. Yu gasped when Ce's hand wandered to his chest and pinched his right nipple. Ce took this opportunity to plunge his tongue into Yu's mouth. The two of them fought for dominance over the kiss. Yu lost and had his mouth mapped out by Ce's tongue. They broke the kiss and Ce decided to go lower.

Ce kissed, licked, nipped and sucked at the places he remembered were sensitive. Yu tried to hold back his moans by biting his hand. Ce continued down, leaving butterfly kisses as he went. When he reached the hem of Yu's pants, he pulled them down. Yu's erection sprang up from the fabric. Yu covered his eyes, with the hand he had bitten, in embarrassment. Ce smiled and kissed Yu's inner thigh. Yu gasped then shivered. Ce then began to kiss Yu's hips while his hand snaked up and played with Yu's left nipple.

Yu was getting frustrated as he felt Ce continue to kiss around the place he wanted but never actually touching it. The man was purposely avoiding his lower regions. Yu growled when the man just continued to do so. "Damn it, Ce..." Yu whispered. Ce raised his body and took Yu's other nipple into his mouth. Yu bit back a moan and glared at CE. "Sun Ce..." Ce let go and looked at him a bit curious as to why Zhou Yu had said his full name.

"What is wrong?" Ce asked innocently.

"Sun Ce... I have not done this in a month and your little act is not helping me as you so claimed it would," Yu said in an unusually deadly tone. "Unless you plan to go any further, I would like to leave. Because for right now, I could not possibly care less for foreplay..." Yu gave Ce his deadliest look he could muster. Unfortunately, with the way he was now, it only made him look cute. All Ce did was smile and kiss him again.

"How could I say no to your cute face?" Ce replied. Ce again went lower and took Zhou Yu's erection. YU couldn't help the strangled moan that left his lips when he was suddenly enveloped in such heat. He dug his hands into Ce's hair, gripping tightly as his toes curled. Zhou Yu was surprised how quick he had turned from his usually calm collected self, to a moaning mess on Ce's bed. Ce circled his tongue around the head before he quickly deep throated Zhou Yu.

Ce could feel Yu squirm and try to buck his hips up, but he had a firm hold of them. Yu writhed on the bed from the feeling, especially from a particularly hard suck from Ce. He could feel it all coming to an end all too soon.

"Ce! I'm going to- Ahhh!" Yu moaned. Just as he was about to release, Ce pulled back. Yu glared at him through half lidded eyes. "I really hate you right now..." he breathed.

"I know you do," Ce replied. Ce then reached over to the scented oil on his bedside table. It smelt like freshly picked flowers. After coating his fingers generously, he took his hand away and kissed Yu gently. He spread Yu's legs and inserted the first finger quickly. He worked the finger in and out of Yu to get him used to the feeling. He added the second and then the third, quickly preparing him.

When he thought Yu was ready, he took his fingers out, coated his erection and placed it at Yu's entrance. Yu tensed beneath him; No doubt from memories of the pig... Ce thought. Ce raised one of his hands up and petted Yu's hair. Ce kissed Yu again for reassurance. But when they parted, Yu didn't expect to be flipped onto his stomach. Now he really didn't like this position. It made him feel like nothing more than an animal.

"Ce?" Zhou Yu asked. Ce kissed the back of his neck affectionately.

"Don't worry," Ce whispered in his ear. "It's more pleasurable this way." For who?! And how do you know that? We've never done it this way before! Yu thought. Zhou Yu then felt Ce's erection at his entrance and tensed again. "Calm down," Ce murmured. "Relax..." Ce reaches around and grasped Yu's erection and started to rub it. Yu moaned but nothing could distract him when he felt Ce begin to penetrate him.

Ce pushed in until the head was in and let Yu adjust. Yu gripped the sheets tightly as he kept telling himself to relax. While Yu was adjusting, Ce had to keep from shoving himself in completely. Yu was so hot and so tight that it nearly made him go insane with lust. When he felt Yu loosen and begin to move his hips back a little, Ce decided to just get on with it. Yu cried out in sheer pain when Ce shoved in to the hilt in one powerful thrust.

Ce kissed his shoulder apologetically. The two waited an eternity for Yu to adjust. Ce was in pure bliss; Yu was in pure agony. Ce began to stroke Yu back to hardness, making Yu moan and relax more. Once the pain dulled to a small ache, he pressed back against Ce.

Ce slowly rocked his hips forward, trying his best to hold back. After the first few thrusts, Yu started to push back against him. Ce took this as a sign to go faster. Yu moaned as he felt Ce's pace speed up. But then he felt Ce shift and brush up against something that made him scream in pure pleasure.

"There! Ce, do that again," Yu pleaded. Ce smiled and aimed for that spot and slammed into it. Yu saw stares every time Ce hit it, but it wasn't enough. "Harder!" Yu said, not really realizing it. Ce complied and started to slam into him. The two picked up a rhythm. It soon turned animalistic. Ce's thrusts became jerky and uncontrollable. He was nearing his end. He reached around, grabbed Yu's aching erection, and started to pump him in time with his thrusts.

Yu's vision became blurred. The pleasure was overwhelming. He couldn't hold it in. Yu came all over Ce's hand and the sheets. Feeling Yu clamp down on him, Ce came deep inside of his lover. Ce kept thrusting, riding out their orgasms. Finally, C pulled out and collapsed next to Yu. Yu turned his head to face Ce. Ce covered them both up quickly, pulling Yu close to him. Once that was done, he kissed Yu gently. It was a kiss full of love.

"I love you, Zhou Yu," Ce whispered.

"I love you, too, Sun Ce," Yu replied. "But I think we should at least put some clothes on before we go to bed." Yu heard Ce grumble in displeasure. None the less, Ce got up and grabbed his night clothes out of his trunk and put them on. He went to another trunk and pulled out a pair and threw them at Zhou Yu. Yu realized that they were his old clothes.

"You carry my clothes with you to war?" Zhou Yu asked as he got dressed. Ce smiled, crawling on to the bed and lying down. He grabbed Yu's chin to make him look at him.

"The others may have lost hope, but I always thought you were out there somewhere," Ce said lovingly and kissed Zhou Yu's forehead. "Now go to sleep, my love." Yu kissed him lightly and laid his head on Ce's chest. Yu waited until Ce's breathing slowed until he got up, got dressed, and went out.
