Chapter 7: Umi no Yume (Ocean of Dreams)
Once again the group were on their way to a destination unknown. Kagome let loose a bored sigh and decided to mess with katara a bit. " Hey katara." Kagome called over to the distracted girl. "Hmm?" She grunted. "Did you know that haru told me that he wanted to kiss you the very day he met you?" Kagome smirked, noticing the deep blush rising one her cheeks.
As well as the angry blushes on aang and sokka's faces. "He said to me, ' kagome, the day i sat with her talking on top of the hill about are families i was distracted. The way the sun made he look ethereal even though she is of the moon. She had the most beautiful eyes. They were a lovely shade of blue. Almost like the ocean at night with the full moon shining on it. I didn't want to say or do anything to scare her away since she told me about her mother but i just...'" she paused there to see her reaction.
Katara was panting her checks were as red as kagome's kimono top that she was wearing. "Kagome, that is not nice. Stop lying to her." Aang called from the sky. "I decided to mess with her not lie. Why are you so bent out of shape anyway? Jealous?" Kagome chided. Aang did not respond. "Were of to Ba Sing Se! Toph you should be happy! There is a bending tournament today!" Toph nodded.
So many things happened since kagome joined the group. They were hunted by the fire nation constantly. Kagome was able to see Zuko but he was still his normal uptight self. Well until she saw him on a wanted poster. She had the misfortune on meeting his T.B.S. (total bitch of a sister). Kagome never liked to curse much but this was an acceptation.
They also helped a couple of refugees. One of which gave birth to a baby girl named hope. She also met sokka's girlfriend. Unknown to the other's Yue was watching the whole thing but smiled and gave them her blessing. Kagome was pissed because she thought yue was the spirit she needed to put to rest but was wrong.
She met a old man and woman with many issues, a dysfunctional earth king, a psychotic earth general, went to avatar day, and fought during the invasion of the northern water tribe. She seen him only once their. By him she meant zuko. Was she in love? She wouldn't know.
Kagome continued to train aang after their trip Seoul. He was still reluctant to learn fire bending but kagome beat some sense into him in a sparing session. He just had to understand the importance of using one's element against them. The time for the comet was drawing near and kagome was a afraid. She had a dream awhile back.
In her dream, everyone was there plus the guy she saw spying on her dancing and singing in the woods. Zuko was fighting his sister and the other's where fighting Ozai when she felt her self-rising into the air as the comet neared the ground. She felt the heat of the comet but did not scream. Then a hauntingly beautiful song was being sung and everyone's face took on a look of horror as everything then went black. After she jolted awake kagome refused to go to sleep after that. That was 2 months ago. Going on her 62nd day of no sleep and kagome started to feel the fatigue catching up to her.
Everyone was tired. After Appa was animal napped. Aang was being a total prude. What he need to know was that everyone was attached to appa as well and sokka and katara were feeling the greatest affect of his disappearance. They were not used to the harsh climates. Sokka had heat rashes on the scalp of his head and katara actually passed out from a heat stroke. Now that they were finally here in the city kagome could do whatever she wanted.
Kagome had excluded herself from the search because she was tired of aang and his p.m.s ing state. So once they got there she walked away from the group in a hurry.
"See you guys soon!" And with that she was gone.
Aang gritted his teeth in frustration. She was supposed to be his celestial guardian but she was acting like a tourist. To make maters worse she knew that his feeling for katara were strong but she continued to push haru in front of katara and try to make her fall in love with him. So after they got situated in the little room, aang made flyers and he and katara began hanging them up.
Sokka and Toph searched for the tournament by themselves. Toph knew what kagome was saying about haru and katara was true, but she can feel the angry coming off of aang. And somewhere in side it was hurting her. Sokka could careless. He was actually happy about the whole thing since haru was Katara's age. Right now he was looking for some food. Besides... kagome really seemed dead bent on getting katara and haru together.
Kagome went from stand to stand looking at all the foods and clothing. ' I'm getting a craving for mochi and jasmine tea.' kagome walked around and around the large city until she came across a large teashop. She clapped her hands in sheer delight and ran inside.
When she entered she was amazed. It was a beautiful shop. The golden dragon, it was called. She sat her self and waited for a waiter to come by. Unaware of the leer she was receiving from two occupants.
A/N: as i warned, all event will be jumbled! Let's see. Say like this. Jet is trying to exposes Zuko and Iroh now. Zuko and iroh own that teashop. Katara never seen jet, yet. Okay? Good. Lake Laogi is later.
'What the hell is she doing here.' It's been nearly three month's since he lasts seen her. Zuko hid behind the polished bar and forced himself to think. During the Northern Invasion, He saw her once. She was fighting off the rest of the ships and men that were trying to invade the castle and inner walls. She looked almost ethereal. However, seeing as she was a celestial. She was.
She just seemed to haunt her. In his dreams, in his thoughts, there was just something...about her. "Lee go wait table ten." he heard Uncle say. 'Damn.' Zuko got up and walked over to her table and turned his head to the ceiling. "I am Lee i will be your waiter today. What will you be having?" Zuko turned slightly to see her face. She had this huge smirk on her face.
"Well lee, i would like five sticks of dango and a cup of jasmine tea." zuko walked off to go fill out her order. 'she knows.'
As for the other person staring at her, he too had a confused look on his face. From what he learned she was traveling with the avatar, so why didn't he see her when he first met the group? She was beautiful. Wearing a red kimono top with lavender lotus blossoms on it over a simple pair of fitting pants that was tight on her legs. he couldn't see much else.
Then he saw lee. the boy he knew was a fire bender. She saw her smirk at him and said something but he couldn't hear her. When he walked away, Jet decided to approach her. He got up and walked over to her table. she looked up from some pamphlet and smiled. "Are you stalking me now? first in the woods, then at the concert. should i call the Dai Lee on you?" Jet looked slightly surprised. he was well camoplouge in the woods. But then that would explain why she bowed in his direction.
She motion for him to sit across from her. "My name is kagome. i will stop picking on you if you join me?" he grinned and sat. "The name's jet. Sorry for the woods thing but i heard you singing and i had to see for myself. it was incredible." kagome blushed and modestly brushed of his complement. 'who said that all trips can't have a detour. he'll worry about Lee later. he had to have this girl.'
Zuko who was on his way back to the table froze. it was that damn freedom fighter from the boat. Talking to her.
'He's going down.'
Not that he cared if she was being under handily harassed by some shaggy headed, uncivilized cretin. Zuko marched over to the table and placed the dango tray in front of her and spilled some of the tea on jet's hand, which was holding her hand. jet jumped back, hissing in pain. "I am terribly sorry." "Hello lee! why don't you take a mini break and join us?"
Zuko looked in the back to see iroh nodding. "sure business is slow anyway." jet glared at him with intense force.
' i know what you are up to, fire bending jerk.'
'go to hell you tree hugging insect.'
'same to you burnt up lizard.'
' oh cheep shot. Why don't you go back to the wild.'
'Not if you are still here. there is no way in hell i am leaving you here with my woman.'
Now it was Zuko's turn to glare. "So Lee, how long have you been here?" "almost three month's." "yes around the time i met you and your grandfather or was it your uncle?" kagome gasped. "you two met?" "oh yes he and his grandfather were refugees trying to get on the train to Ba sing se, but couldn't so i helped them." kagome smiled at jet.
" You are very sweet to help them out." Zuko's glare intensified. " your grandfather? he owns the shop right? i want to go talk to him! be right back." kagome got up and headed to the back. and that's when zuko let him
"Listen here you twig chewing, flea and tick infested, tree loving, freedom fighting, hypocritical, unkempt scumbag. Stay away from her." Jet glared and was about to attack him before he heard kagome call over. "Is everything all right over there?" "fine!" the both chorused then went back to glaring.
"I am not giving up you under handing, maniacal, double crossing. firebending, lizard eye, crisp pond scum. what makes you think for one minute that kagome wants anything to do with you?" kagome came bag to the table. "i have to go now, it's was nice meeting you two here's the money for the tea plus tip. bye!" and she ran out.
Jet and Zuko glared at each other with heated intensity "We will settle this once and for all!" jet yelled attacking him.
Kagome sighed, feeling satisfied. 'what was zuko doing here? and why is his name lee?' she shrugged and headed to their little room to sleep of the dango. who knew such little dumplings could fill a person up. She entered the room passing a dirty toph, a d.o.a. sokka who must have ate more than he should have, a happy katara and a moody aang.
"i am finally going to sleep. i do not want to here any noise or i will be extremely pissed of." the other's nodded and left the house. kagome crashed as soon as she hit the bed. 'please midoriko. please protect my dreams.'
(while she was sleeping, jet and zuko were fighting and jet was arrested. after being set free hours later, jet ran into katara, they headed to Lake Laogi.)
Kagome woke up and stretched. "Damn. how long i was asleep?" kagome went in to the bathroom to wash up and changed into a blue Chinese styled fighting dress and headed outside. 'well judging by the amount of clutter, plus the dirt from toph's feet. I've been out about... 48 hours.' kagome headed towards the lake on the out skirts of town, when she noticed a open man hole. 'what the heck, might as well.' she jumped down into the hole and walked around for a bit. she heard loud noises coming from the left and appa on the right. "i sense aang! he's in danger!" kagome ran to the left.
When she arrived jet was down and katara was checking him, aang was chasing after some bald guy and sokka and toph were fighting the Dai lee. "All of you after the bald guy." the nodded and left the only other two people there. "he's going to die isn't he?" the girl asked. "don't worry girl. what i am about to do is very wrong in many ways but i have too. don't tell anyone about it." they nodded.
kagome leaned down and jet smiled at her. "i get to see a angel on earth before i join the other's. how nice." kagome smiled down at him. "what i am going to do is heal you obvious internal damages. the way i am going to do is...well..." jet rose a brow at kagome's flustered face. "go ahead. i won't tell.." kagome took a deep breath a placed her lips on top of his. jet's eyes widened from the contact but he savored the feeling.
A warm rush of energy flooded through him. on top of that he was kissing the girl he was fighting that other jerk for. she tasted so sweet. like honey and vanilla. when she rose back up she was blushing like mad and ran out to join the others.
Jet couldn't have been happier. He now had something to gloat about. 'she will be mine. eventually.'
