Sun Xiang
-Me, being a BIG fan of Dynasty Warriors means I had to write this! Hope you enjoy it! But first I'll give you some background info: Sun Ce and Diao Qiao are away fighting for Wu and leave behind their Son, Sun Shao and their Daughter (who is unknown, but I have named her...) Sun Xiang. Find out what happens when you read it... Let's just say Zhou Yu has some babysitting to do.-
"Sun Xiang, can't you sit still for two minutes?" The figure approaching the door asked. "They will be back soon, I assure you." He stood by the doorway, his long face smiling at her, as she pulled a small table across the room. "But in the mean time, why don't you play with your brother. Speaking of which, where is he?"
"Lord Yu I don't want to play with him because he is in the yard training with his friends again!" She whined. "I have nothing to do!" Xiang folded her arms.
"Tell you what I'll take you round the gardens of the castle instead. Will that give you something to do?" Yu said with a slightly disappointed look on his face, He should be in the Tactics room, planning their next attack against Wei, but it seems he had to look after Lord Sun Ce's troublesome children while he was away. Why did they both have to go? Why didn't one of them stay here and look after their own children? Oh yeah, he thought, 'Secret Wu Business.' They wouldn't tell him where they were, otherwise he might drop the children on the doorstep and never give them some peace of mind.
"Oh Zhou Yu can't you just take me down to the flower fields outside the castle grounds, Mother takes me there a lot and even tells me stories about Father, and how he saved her from Cao Cao!" With luck, he thought, there's someone down their that will take her off my hands.
"Fine," He said. "But first why don't we wander through the gardens and talk about your Mother and Father. Okay?" Her sudden smile forced Zhou Yu's mouth to mimic her actions. She looked up at him too, which made him produce an even bigger grin. That got her hooked, it seemed she was interested in learning everything there was to know about the battles Lady Qiao and Lord Sun fought their ways through.
"Of Course!" she shouted. "I would love to do that!" She yelled.
"Lord Zhou Yu, what's going on?" A small, female voice shouted from the next room along, or possibly even the next one along from that one. "Did something happen?"
"Oh, Lady Qiao, Me and Xiang were going to go down to the castle gardens."
"Sorry, for scaring you, Xiao Qiao. I am so excited that Zhou Yu is taking me for a walk through the gardens!"
"Oh that's okay with me, just be careful, there are many big stones in the castle gardens, and don't forget that Xiang is very clumsy." Xiao said, thoughtfully. She wandered over towards Sun Xiang. "Have a good time, Xiang." she whispered
Xiang and Zhou Yu headed of towards the gardens while Xiao Qiao shifted the small tea table back to it's original position. The Garden's were in bloom with a mixture of Rainbow flowers and green, leafy trees. There were peasants and lords and ladies walking around outside the castle, inside the marketplace many people were pushing they're goods to be sold; whether they're goods or bads.
They both wandered through the gardens talking about Ce's past.
"...and your father was surrounded by a huge group of bandits, and he fought so valiantly, that he knocked them all down in one large slash of his sword."
"Wow, Lord Zhou, that's amazing! I didn't realize Father was that Valiant!"
Alone in the corner, A slight figure looked past the script he was reading and saw a shadow flickering amongst the flower's shadows with a small head bobbing up every now and again. The figure pursued the pair in awe and confusion. The large male figure was wearing dark red and gold robes and was being followed by a young girl about the age of nine or ten. He approached them, gently, continuing to read his script, whilst deep in thought...
