Title: Turmoil

Rating: G

Characters: Azula/Jun

Disclaimer: I do not own avatar the last airbender

Azula reflected on the previous days' events. Mai and Ty Lee betrayed her. That had to have been what prophecy meant by "turmoil" during her journey. She had been hoping that her brother's escape, which deprived her of an opportunity to punish him, or Iroh's escape, were more than enough turmoil. The breaking of the trio, her, Mai and Ty Lee had always been a force to contend with, seemed to be beyond "turmoil." The escape of the royal traitors paled in comparison to it.

Azula knew she had to find a new crew. She knew she was a forced to be reckoned with by herself, but with subordinates, she could rule the world. She spoke with one of the royal advisers who informed the young princess of many candidates on replacements.

Looking through the candidates for replacements seemed like an endless battle of disappointment until Azula encountered a renowned bounty huntress who called herself Jun. This woman not only well skilled she also had a grudge against Iroh which intrigued the princess.

Azula smiled as she read that the huntress was only loyal to money, she wouldn't have the flaws her former friends had.

"So," Azula, dressed incognito, began the interview by asking. "I've heard you had a run in with my uncle. Does the name Iroh ring a bell?"

"Uncle Fatso is your uncle?" Jun asked. She hadn't wanted to come to be interviewed by a teenage girl, but the large men the girl had sent with tales of gold convinced her otherwise. "He owes me money."

"I can see to it that you'll be more than fairly compensated for any work you do for me," Azula offered with a sly smile. This was going to work out very well.

Jun smiled back, it seemed that her new mysterious patron was on the same wavelength as her.
