Unfaithful

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender. If I did then I wouldn't be writing this then. . Anyway enjoy! 3

It all started one week ago. I lived in the small village of Waseca. I am Kaori. The loud mouthed, too tall, in the way sixteen-year-old that everybody knew. My father ruled the village and we had lots of money. That never really mattered though. Let me start on the day my life changed for the better and for the worse.

"But Dad! It's not that low cut!" I said pulling up my brown dress.

"A girl of your age shouldn't be wearing anything like that!" he yelled. I hate it when he bugs me about stuff like this. He thinks that I can't wear fishnets until I'm twenty and that I'm still his cute little girl. Dads.

"Look I'll take off the fishnets but the dress still stays on 'kay?" I started to take them off. He nodded and walked out. I ran after him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Tell Mom I said bye." I said and grabbed my boots.

"Whatever." He mocked me. I play-smacked him and ran out the door. Of course it was my turn to get groceries. That wasn't the only thing I was going to do. My boyfriend lives by the market. Every Saturday we get together and talk, but my mom doesn't like him. I don't know why. The market is only just a while away. Turn left on Min's house and right on Hanae's. Across the old bridge and turn at the tallest tree. All I saw was a flaming pile of rubble. My mouth hung open.

"Yukio!" I yelled out. His house and all of the market was up in flames. It spread to the trees as it polluted the air with smoke. My eyes watered and I coughed. Where is everyone? What happened?

"Yukio! Where are you?" I yelled out again. People ran out of the market flailing their arms.

"What's happening?" I asked Mark's father who was batting his coat to put out the fire.

"The fire nation attacked." He sounded out of breath. I was shocked. Why here? They were always in some other out of luck town. Now we were that out of luck town. I heard a familiar scream. It was Yukio. I felt the blood rush out of my head. Without him there would be nothing to do on Saturday nights. Now the only thing I was worrying about now was making it out alive. I took in a deep breath and ran into the fire.

I winced as a fire nation tank passed by me. Everything around me was either on fire or about to. I coughed and kept running.

"Yuk-" I tried to yell but all that came out was a dry cough. Apparently I attracted too much attention.

"Hey you!" one of the soldiers pointed at me. I sprinted in the opposite direction. I saw a person lying down by a booth. He was soaked in his own blood. Oh my god.

"No! Yukio!" I screamed. I grabbed his head and shaked it. He opened his eyes.

"Hey there Nick." He said.

"What did they do to you?" I yelled, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"I fought for my life and they fought back," he let out a slight chuckle. "Man I should keep my mouth shut." Someone grabbed my wrists and pulled me back. It was one of the soldiers. I jumped up and down.

"Let me go!" I yelled. I earth bended some dirt clumps with my feet and hit him squarely in the chest. He let go of me. I fell to the ground and got up. I only had a split second to act. One of the adobe buildings near me hadn't caught on fire yet. I earth bended a corner off and threw it at the soldier. He fell backwards. I silently cheered. Unfortunately he had friends. Three other soldiers grabbed me. They threw me on the ground and held me down. I beat my fists on the ground and screamed. They cuffed me and kicked me against Yukio. He was cuffed too. I beat my feet against the ground and tried to get up.

"Let me go!" I yelled out. I turned over and put my back against Yukio's.

"What do we do now?" Yukio asked me. I looked over to a group of soldiers.

"First we get these cuffs off." I whispered so that only he could hear. I pulled my fists apart repeatedly but there was no luck. Metal is not one of my strong points.

"Come with me." A soldier pulled me up. I kicked him. He took me by my arm and dragged me to a tank. I cursed under my breath. I stuck my heels in the dirt but he kept me going. What were they going to do to me? There's only one way to find out.

The tanks are actually bigger on the inside then you think they would. The soldier took me to the back. All of the skull masks were on me. Those really freak you out. He turned me around and cut the cuffs. I was about to make a run for it but he shoved me into a room in the back. It was too cramped for comfort. I let out a cough.

"You're a wily one you know." A woman's voice rang through the room. I looked behind me. There was a dark haired woman in a fire nation uniform sat in a tall wooden chair.

"Who are you?" I coughed up the last bits of ash from my lungs.

"I'm Azula. That doesn't matter really. The point is I need you for something." She said.

"And what would that be?" I said.

"See you are one of the only people who fought against us. You look like any cute innocent girl. I need you to go under cover and capture the Avatar." She smiled wickedly

"But what about Yukio? He fought against you. Wait the Avatar? Do you even know where he is?" I asked clutching my fists.

"About your little friend. He's not going to be okay so you'll do, and yes I know the whereabouts of the Avatar." I gasped. Marque's not going to make it. I bit my lip.

"What's in this for me?" I asked.

"Hmmm, well how about money?" she asked.

"No. There's no village left to live in or buy anything in." I crossed my arms. The cuffs still were on my wrists and cut into my skin.

"Well. If you bring the Avatar back I'll save your little friend." She crossed her legs and stared at me straight it the eye. I thought for a moment.

"What about my parents: Amarante and Leo?" I asked.

"Fine. Them too," She snapped her fingers and a general walked in. " Take her to the ships and bring her to the island nearby. We should chat again… uh?"

"Kaori." I said and followed the general.

"Right goodbye." She said. I hope she keeps her promise.

The trip to Kopi Island took a few days. The food wasn't too good and I got seasick. Soon we arrived.

"Hurry or we'll attract attention." The general shooed me out and I stumbled onto the shore. I smiled a bit. My mother and I always used to go to the beach. My bending powers are better with sand than with dirt. I bended a pile of sand off the ground and twirled it around my fingers. Things are so peaceful here.

"Hey you!"
