Chapter One: Awaken
"Can you help her, Katara?", Aang's concerned voice asked, eyeing the young water tribe female. Her blue eyes met his "I'm not sure..", the water under her hands glowing brightly. The atmosphere was flowing with the same sense of emotion, confusion, concern and fear for the girls well being. She looked, young.. Around Zuko's age, however badley beaten. What ever had happened to this girl, it must've been unpleasant.
"I sent Uncle for another hand to help out.", Zuko's eyes never left the girl, who lay motionless, side ways, eyes closed shut. To say she had seen better days, would be an understatement. Her clothing albeit, unreconizable to any of the four nations, was torn in almost everyway, bleached with crimsion red. It was an unpleasant sight to behold, indeed.
"Her heartbeat is slower than normal, she's between death and life.", Toph's extra sensitive feet and use of Earth bending, giving her said statements.
...
It had been three weeks since the GAang encounter the strange girl. Her body was slowly recovering, but recovering indeed. She had suffered damage on the scale that Zuko's never imagined to be possible.
She was currently being held in a near by healing center, deeper within the island of Ember. She was in critical condition, but his best healers believed she'd pull through, mostly because of Katara's efforts.
So Zuko stood over the girls bed, quietly watching her intently. He was curious about here..Where'd she come from? How'd she get in that condition? What was that blinding light.. And better yet, who was she?
The girl stirred in her deep rest, causing Zuko's golden eyes to narrow accordingly. She'd moved for the first time since being put in the damn place. It was, a good sign to say the least.
Darkness and void was all she saw as consciousness and reality returned to the girl. The first memories that cam into her had like a rocket, were that of her final battle. Sasuke had won! She had given him a good fight, everything in his favor, albeit she could have killed him effortlessly. It was still necessary to restore the clans honor.
So she must've been dead now, or so her former thoughts believed, however the atmosphere and the warmth she was feeling right now, didn't exactly feel accurate. Sure Itachi had never died before, but she was more than sure that this wasn't the events that prosper prior to one's death.
Not only that, she felt some pain, in her chest and arm. Which brought her to her latter thoughts on the subject...Itachi had some how survive. Emotion filled the girl prior to the realization, much of which being shock and disbelief, so much of which that the former Uchiha heir jolted up her eyes wide open.
She took a quick survey of the room, before spotting a rather tall man with a burn scar around one of his eyes.
"You're awake!", the man cried, backing away from Itachi. The girl narrowed her eyes before swiftly getting out of the bed, unaware of what she was going to do next.
"Wait get back to bed...you're not fully healed yet!",
Itachi back away from the man. "This can't be happening..", the girl paused before looking over her body, she had lacerations or any types of injuries present. "I could have sworn..", she said softly. The scarred man look on confused.."You could have sword what? What can't be happening?", the scarred guy asked concerned raising his one good eyebrow.
"I should be dead..", the girl said bluntly "What's happening? Where am I?", shedemanded raising her voice, something of which she would have never done previous to the encounter with Sasuke.
"You're in a healing center..hold on I'll get a nurse.", the man said.. Itachi shook her head..What the hell is going on?
The girl back her body towards the open window and effortlessly jumped out of said window, leaving the man confused.
"Hey wait! This is the fourth floor!", he yelled rushing to the window edge, but seconds too late.
He must've not know she was a shinobi, but it didn't matter, Itachi's plans had been defiled entirely, she'd need to change everything now..the girl landed on the ground easily, without so much as a shattered bone from the fall, catching herself with her legs. Itachi looked back up at the man, he wasn't alone.. Not a bold monk with strange blue arrow like tatoos had joined him, both of them had shocked expressions.
They must have never seen a shinobi, if they thought that was something, it was fundamental.
Her figure swiftly and effortlessly found itself on top of a near by building her eyes starring out unto the area in an attempt to get a sense of where she was.
Everything was blurry, she was nearly blind.. Backlashes from the use of the mangekyo sharingan.
"Hey, where do you think you're going.", the girl turned her head towards the direction of the voice.
The bold arrow tattooed covered monk had glided towards her on some weird type of glider.
She chose to ignore him as she jumped again effortlessly towards another rooftop, her eyes starring out into the ocean.
An island? What was she doing on an Island.
"You shouldn't be doing some much work, you just recovered from some serious injuries.", he landed next to her, this time she decided to acknowledge him.
"Where am I?", she asked almost no type of emotion.
"An island in the fire Nation, called Ember Island.", he replied coming closer to the black haired Uchiha. "Fire Nation?" That's a weird.. "You mean fire country? Where the Village hidden in the leaves is located?", She asked never being so confused in her life, the prodigy kept her eyes on his.
The monk's eyes raised in confusion, "The village hidden in the leaves?", he asked confused.."..yes.. Are you saying that you've never heard of such village.",
"Never.", he closed his glider now, holding his hands out to her..
Itachi shook her head... Was this kid delusional? What was going on? She should just be dead..
She ignored his hand.
Maybe she was in some sot of Genjutsu? As silly as it sounds..
She activated her sharigan, red Crimsion forming in her eyes, it still caused much pain. The Monk seemed to back up, in fear and confusion at the sight of her kekkei genkai.
If there was any genjutsu then these eyes would surely see through it.
Nothing...nothing at all.. She deactivated her bloodline jutsu, her eyes returning back to a charcoal black.
"Who are you?", her question seemed to surprise the kid, his eyes looking on in disbelief. "My name is Aang..and I'm the Avatar.",
"Avatar?",
