"Where is he?!" she screamed at the aging man. "If you don't return him to me, I will have you executed!"

He grinned at her—this evil smirk. "I'll give you what you ask for Your Majesty, if you do the same for me."

She looked at him with terrified eyes. "And what is that?"

"Your husband's throne and kingdom."

"That is not mine to give," she answered angrily. "Nor would I ever give it to you if I had the power to do so."

"Then you damn him," he laughed at the pathetic girl. She was lovely, but he preferred her on the dirt—whence she came from. She was young and carefree, but he would rather see her writhing in agony.

"Long Feng," she bit out harshly. "Remember well that if any harm comes to the Earth King, I have nothing to lose afterwards---and then I will have no reservations of taking your life."

Long Feng looked up at the queen in defiance, "It would seem that we're at an impasse...Jin."

A/N: I've been a secret shipper of Jin and Kuei for a while now...but I guess secret's out eh? Hehee. Oh and if Jin's in her late teens and Kuei's in his mid-twenties---it's not so bad. It's just like June and Iroh, maybe even less of a gap.
