Fear! the shadow Theifs!
Disclaimer: I don't own avatar yeah you know the drill.
Zuko and his uncle walked through the deep thickness of the forest. Under the name Li, and Moshu (I don't know if that is really what it was; but that works just as well, I knew it was moo something.) and were growing tire and hungry for their lack of plant identification; and Zuko's lack of ability to fish. But out of nowhere seven people dressed in black came out of the trees, and the only female among them; held a Chinese sword to this throat.
"Get their stuff." She told all the others. They looked for a backpack or something; but they had nothing.
"They have nothing boss." The tall, fat man told her. She nodded and lowered her sword.
"Nothing?" She looked them over; her menacing emerald green eyes watching them. "They've got..nothing to offer? The boy looks fit..the old man..not so much..are you sure they've nothing?"
"No backpack; no money for that matter; nothing boss." Replied the fat one. She stopped; looked Zuko in the eye, and then back at her band of theifs.
"Let them move along. We've no need for them." They all nodded and disappeared into the tree tops; the girl stopped, looked at everyone as they disappeared into the tree-tops; and back down at them. She went back to them, reached into her shirt and pulled out a bag of gold coins. "Take care of yourselves." She then followed everyone else into the tree. They watched her until her dark figure was stolen by the green trees.
"what a nice lady." Iroh commented as they continued walking. Zuko nodded and followed; putting the money in a safe spot.
They reached the town and saw the girl from before; and a big fish butcher from before with a knife to her throat.
"Steal from me will you?" He growled. "You- You-" He called her a really bad word; and if I said it; I'd be in trouble so just go along with that.
"What is the problem here?" Iroh asked approaching the man.
"She stole a batch of fish from me. She does this every-time there is a new shipment!" The knife was slashed across her face in anger; when Zuko stepped in.
"I'm sure she's got a good reason, besides, you've got plenty of fish."
"You willing to pay off her damages? You'd be workin' for me."
"Well I don't know." The tone in his voice told the girl to run; she instantly understood and took off, Zuko and Iroh followed her close behind. Once in the forest; the fish butcher had lost sight of them and given up. She thanked them for their help.
"It was the least we could do, for the money you gave us." Iroh told her.
"I know a way to thank you. Stay here for a minute." They nodded and she walked over to a tree, and called up to them. A platform fell from nowhere; ready to carry her up. She motioned for them to come. They did and instantly; the platform rose to the tree tops above.
The theifs were surprised to see she brought the man and boy they tried to rob; but she explained what happened and all of them were greatful. Their hide out was a series of tree houses; platforms; and suspension bridges. They built an entire town out of the forest!
"Thanks for saving our boss." The big one said; he wasn't wearing a hood like before; so now he had thick brown hair and a round face. "We don't know what would happen if Sakura wasn't around to lead."
"Boss!" A young boy ran to her. "What are they doing here?"
"Their new members of our band of theifs, if they want to be." Iroh and Zuko exchanged looks and then nodded; it beat running all the time, and having no money for food or anything. Considering Zuko was horrible at foraging and fishing; while Iroh couldn't tell the difference between a poisonous plant and a tea plant. "Great. Names."
"Li, and Moshu." Zuko answered; Sakura nodded and showed them where their tree-house would be. Their house was big enough for the two of them, and had a bear-skin rug. The door was made out of bamboo and so were the window sills. Which were only like, two. "It isn't much, but It should do."
"it is wonderful; thank you. It has been a while since we've had a roof over our heads."
"Travelers?" Li nodded. Sakura took her hood off; revealing her long red hair. "Dinner will be ready soon. I could come by and get you; or you could take the third suspension bridge from the left.
"How about you come get us?" Moshu asked, she nodded.
"Alright." She left; closing the door behind her and leaving their tree house.
"She's a pretty girl." Moshu told Li, smirking.
"So?" Li pouted; looking around their new home. "She has just helped us out; thats all."
"Yes; but if you and her got married and had a baby-"
"Uncle; that is just-just-"
"Just- what?" Moshu could tell he was getting his nephew flustered; his favorite past time of being an uncle.
"Nothing!" Li snapped; looking around. "I'm just not interested in her." Moshu snickered and went on trying to figure out how to decorate the room.
"What do you think of shells Jr.?"
"What?" Li asked; his uncle was so random sometimes.
"Shells on the walls. I think it would make it look like a sea kind of thing. Any ideas?"
"I don't care. All we need is a bed, or at least some sleeping bags."
"Hmm yes..these are theifs right?" Li nodded. "Then I'm sure we can steal some."
"You stole perfume from the abi that one time." Li smirked. Moshu laughed.
"So I did!"
woo the end! OK; yeah, I deleted Michiko cause it was hard 'n stuff. This one should be fun cause I thought about it while I was getting a perm.
Zuko: (Pulls her hair and let it spring back)(Snicker) It's like millions of pig tails on your head..
Me: I thought so too.
Zuko: you cut your hair too?
Me: lil bit yeah. I donated it to cancer thing...
Zuko: Didn't Jami-san tell you to do that?
Me: Yeah. Good idea, they cut a rat tail offa me..
Zuko: Really?
Me: Yeah. Man, we can sure ramble.
Zuko: (sighs) This always happends when I'm around you..
Me: Aww, I love you too baby-cakes!
