Chapter 7!
Water rushed down the gorge splashing high up the rock walls. She raced over to her fallen companion. Pulling him onto her back she struggled to get high enough. She could see the white water torrents about to overtake them. The blockade of water pushed Zuko and her straight backwards. She screamed, and water filled her mouth. The flashflood was a result of a spring being unblocked by the two's banana hunting. Kicking back the dirt they had created a trench leading it here. Rain had made a huge pool that only needed a small amount of leeway to come rushing down like a flood controlled by the heavens.
Forcing her head up, she looked around as a wave carried her higher. Zuko was stuck on a ledge far above her. Not paying attention the wall of rock behind her she slammed into it. The force drove every ounce of air from her body. She stuttered and dropped a few feet. Water met her and she hit it with a splash. The pain was overwhelming. She blinked past the burning tears in her eyes and made a move to grab back onto the rock wall.
Zuko opened an eye, he couldn't see anything right. It all looked like the world was being engulfed by raging waters from hell. He could see Kayorie a bit below him, but he couldn't move at all. "Ugh…" Was all he could possibly say.
Kayorie groaned and glanced up, feeling the water subside, she fell onto the beloved ground. Zuko soon landed with a thump next to her. "Sorry Zuko….." She whispered, fighting to remain conscience. Her vision went into a blurry haze again.
Zuko reached out one arm and touched her shoulder gently. "Kayorie….." He mumbled, a small feeling of admiration welling inside him. Hah, if that was truly possible. Oh well, she had faced a flash flood for him, might as well try and help her. Attempting to stand, he soon was back on the ground, attending an all-you-can-eat dirt buffet.
Kayorie blinked her eyes back into focus. Zuko was touching her. Glaring down at his hand, she felt him tense and pull away. "Much better…" She murmured, even dead tired and in a small amount of shock couldn't stop her deep running hatred. He had killed her mother….her family…..her home! His people had completely destroyed what she had loved so deeply. Why was it that he was trying to comfort her now of all freakin' times!
Her eyes narrowed in plain hatred, Kayorie struggled into a sitting position. Laughing as Zuko ended up with a mouthful of dirt and a small bruise on his chin, she tried to stand. Big mistake. Actually, big wasn't a strong enough, 'HUGELY RETARDED IDIOTIC MISTAKE' was more like it.
His face grew red with laughter as he watched Kayorie do an odd move, something resembling her trying to Tango and do a back flip at the same time, plus a little earth bending. His laughter soon ceased as he caught the demonic looking glare she flashed him.
The next thing he knew, she had kicked him hard in the side and now she was laughing. So hard in fact, there were tears in her eyes. "You're going to pay for that you stuck up little…." He didn't get to finish his sentence as the seriously ticked Kayorie clamped a hand over his mouth.
"If you know what's good for you, I would think very hard about keeping your large mouth shut. We wouldn't want it filled with dirt every night for every single hour we're stuck on this damn island, don't you agree?" Kayorie asked, portraying an image of wistful innocence. Really though, her fake halo had to have been held up by horns. Mostly because of the plans on toturing the exiled prince were flashing through her mind at a speed matching a jackrabbit.
'Rabbit…Oh no, not food again, not rabbits! Not my cute little rabbit Chocolate! Though he never did taste like chocolate…NOT MORE FOOD! Okay, think of something else Kayorie, like ummmmm…getting back at Zukp! Ya, like throwing him off a cliff? Perfecto! That should teach him a good lesson! But Dearie, what about the beetles and snakes that would come for you? Oh shut it! He did help you though, more than once as well. Is it really proper to throw him off a cliff for it? Yes! Yes it is perfectly proper to throw him of a freaking cliff if I want to! What would your mother think if you did that? Good job Kayorie, not letting people push you around anymore! Fine, what would Chocolate think? Food……'
Zuko had managed to pry off Kayorie's hand during her inner argument. By the look on her face, it wasn't going well at all. "Ummm…Kayorie, I think we should get out of here!" He muttered after a few moments, seeing a strange shadow on the rock wall next to them. "KAYORIE TODAY PLEASE!
