Chapter Nine

Yang Yang


XiaoJiu was sleeping peacefully and her foxtails were sticking out, she was swaying them like she was awake. "Yang Yang save me." She murmured with her eyes closed. "Yang Yang don't leave me." She mumbled again, her eyebrows furrowed I touched her face and she opened her eyes slowly and she smiled at me. "Yang Yang." Her voice was warm like the summers sun. "Were you having a bad dream?" She shook her head. "I was having the best dream." She beamed at me. "Yang Yang I want one?l and well." As we were talking Dong Hua's sister came in. "Yang Yang." She said in a too high pitched voice and XiaoJiu's face darkened. "You're here, my brother is looking for you." She said in a cheeky tone. "Good for him then." XiaoJiu answered and I couldn't help but laugh. "Do you want something to eat?" I asked her and she beamed at me. "Of course! You haven't cooked for me in a while! I will go see what Dong Hua wants!" I nodded my head and then she left.


Fangsu was staring me and watching me Intently. "Say what you need to say." I said softly. "You like Fengjiu don't you?" I sighed loudly. "No, I love her." Her eyes went wide. "Have you told her?" I laughed. "XiaoJiu is not stupid Fangsu and stop provoking her." She blinked innocently. " I don't know what you mean." She feigned innocence. "Fangsu stop provoking her, don't challenge her because you will lose. Your brother has changed her and I don't know whether it's for the best or for the worst, but all I'm saying is stop getting under her skin you will regret it." She nodded her head in understanding.


Jui're


I found Dijiun sitting on his dias with Wang Shu on his left side. "XiaoBai, aren't you serving us today?" He asked softly. "What would His Majesty like?" Wang Shu frowned along with Dong Hua. "Rice porridge and sticky pork." I smiled at them. "Coming right up." I went to the kitchen and started getting the food ready, when it was done I went to serve it to them. "It smells wonderful." Wang Shu praised but I didn't say anything, I bowed my head turned around to leave. "Dijiun I think I have repaid my debt to you, this is the last meal I'm serving you and the last time you'll see me here. Thank you for letting me stay by your side and letting me serve you, hopefully in future we don't have to owe each other anything." I didn't wait for any response and I left. "XiaoBai!" I heard Dong Hua's voice, he sounded angry but I didn't to look at him. "Say what you need to say Dong Hua."  He walked towards me and grabbed my arms, turning me around. "Why are you acting like this?" He asked and I smiled. "Your palace is full and you have more than enough fairies to assist you, besides I am nobodies fairy I am the Princess of Qingqiu." He frowned at me. "I never treated you as fairy." He looked sincere. "Maybe that's the problem, you don't treat me like anything." He looked coldly at me. "Maybe you should leave." He said and I bowed my head turning my back on him.


Yang Yang


Fangsu was talking with me animatedly when XiaoJiu walked in, I could see the brokenness within her and she smiled at me but her smile was weak, I opened my arms and like an attracted magnet she slept in my arms. 
Fangsu suddenly looked worried and she came and stood next to her. "Princess Bai Fengjiu what's wrong?" She asked softly then XiaoJiu looked at her. "Call me Jui're." She smiled but she was trembling. Fangsu looked taken aback but she smiled nonetheless. "Yang Yang I will go to the Ice realm and stay in your palace." She said sweetly. "Won't you go back to Qingqiu?" She snorted. "I still value my life, so no!" Fangsu chuckled. "Jui're I'm sorry for the way I treated you."  Fangsu apologized. "You're brother is a dangerous drug, so I understand." She hugged me close to her and then walked away.


Jui're


Should I tell you what lays inside my heart? Or you're just ignorant to see?
Should I spell out what's in my heart or should I let it be.
It's not my fault that your heart attracted mine, I had no business with what our hearts had to say to each other,but you're living it out in the cold with no warmth or acceptance.


Should I breathe out the pain or let it build up inside as the reminder of what lays inside, should I shout and scream to ease the ache that is caused by something that I don't understand or the fact that I wished you understood.


I don't make sacrifices but I made one for you, you didn't ask me but I felt the need to protect you. It was easier said than done to not fall for you, and it's harder not to acknowledge what the heart already knows.
To stay with you, I became something that I shouldn't be and I should hang my head in shame, I didn't understand or did I get it that my heart wants you and it only wants you.


My soul has taken the form of you and kept it next to it, but you are hallow and cold there's no difference between you and the winter it's all just the same, even the weather treats me kinder than you, even the rain caresses me softly.
You are the type of sun that doesn't shine in my world and the type that never will no matter of how much I give of myself,  the saddest part is even though I know I'm not enough for you I will still go out of my way, for you to be safe
I know that you don't need my protection but I am a fox princess I protect what I love at all costs, everyone has told me my destiny and fate lay on the fate of stones but how wrong they are, my destiny is the hands of the coldest god that has ever lived the heavens but I guess I'm a masochist, the more pain you inflict on me the more I'm going to get high of the feelings in my heart, is that better for you or me? Is it better to live that way? Or should I turn this feeling to hatred, will it make things better?.
