Geisha boy

Plan of Action

The literal " slaying " that I thought was going to occur is taking way too long, so I decide to open my eyes. I see the Hun positioned to kill at the ready, yet he was as frozen as a statue. I blink in amazement before suddenly realizing why he'd stopped and looking over my shoulder in hopes of seeing the Huns merciless leader. But all I saw was a first kiss stealer. " what are you doing here ?! " I call out to him as he approaches on horseback.

I expected some cocky remark like " saving your life, duh ? ", but it never came.

In fact, he rode over to me with a rather stoic face. Which surprised me, as he hissed under his breath " shut up, I warned you not to be here ".

He warned me not to be here ? What the heck ?! Who does he think he is ?! I would've remembered if someone had tried to warn me of- .... Oh ..... " so that's why you snuck into the camp isn't it ? " I mouthed back so the grim reaper Hun couldn't see . " Silence ! " he shouted at me before giving me a small nod. I am being silent!

" Jian, leader of the Huns. Why do we spare them ?! " he proclaimed before doing what I assume is a Huns symbolic symbol of authority toward him. Awe heck no ! I know this man didn't just tell me to shut up. That's it, I'm going to kick him where it hurts and- Woah, wait.... Leader ? That's kind of hot... Did he tell me this already ? Wait, no, I don't care... What the heck ?! I kissed the leader of the freaking Huns ! And Jian ? Seriously ? Ancestors, just go ahead and shame my soul now for eternity ! My misfortune is nothing more than entertainment for the universe !

" I just um ... Want to make sure that this is not the princess before we uh, "... Could this guy be any worse at lying ? Oh my ancestors ! This guy is the worst hero I've ever met ! And I've met ... Well I've never really met any other heroes but.... But that's besides the point, he sucks at this !

" But sir, he has the princess " the hun says gesturing over to his evil colleague who is contorting Daiyu's arms behind her back painfully. I look at my "rescuer" unamused and shake my head in embarrassment. Bad guys suck at being good and I'm going to die because of this.

He gives me a concerned look that nearly makes me heart drop, but I don't know why. My heart is so stupid, why would my mother listen to this thing. I honestly don't think I can handle the truth about liking this idiot. I mean I like him ? Pssh, whaaaaat ? Nooooo, that'd be crazy talk- crap I like him a lot.... Without even knowing him that well, I've fallen for an idiot ...

Do my ancestors bet money against me or is this just the inherited luck of my family ?

Ughhhhh this is awful ! I finally accept the fact that I like someone and now I'm supposed to kill him and his army, without dying to become China's next hero! This is absolutely impossible... Well, without dying at least.

I feel absolutely helpless as I turn my attention back onto the now heated argument about my life's value. You know, the typical conversations in my life. The worst part is that I can tell that my "Hun-ny" is losing. As his minions questions become more, and more difficult/suspicious I notice him flashing me frightened looks. As if he was trying to tell me to run away. But that'd be pointless. Plus, I'm pretty sure I've just accepted my fate as is. I wish to die with honor straight forward, rather then die a coward running away.

" Silence ! This is ridiculous ! You do not dare question your captain " Jian snaps impatiently, "We don't need this ones life we need the princess remember ? Dead or alive, and we have her alive, that's lucky. So let's stay focused ", he shouts with an a semi-deep authoritative voice. Which, in all honesty, is kind of sexy. Wait, no, bad Mu ! Stop that, nows really not the time!

I slowly begin to rise to my feet as the Hun-chman begins to step away. I'm feeling pretty secure, that is , until I see a little red slither past me. Mushu gives me a thumbs up as he scurries away onto an archers horse, and I automatically feel that this is a bad idea.

What is Mushu panning this time ?
