Ok, so first things first, I am so so so sorry for taking forever to upload this chapter! I was having some major writer's block, but now I will try my best to update more quickly. Second, thank you to all of my readers for all of the reviews, favorites, and follows! Now let's get this show on the road!

"What are you gonna name him?" Katara asks.

Momo jumps out of Aang's arms and grabs a peach. Aang smiled and said, "Momo."

After leaving the Air Temple, we traveled on Appa for a while headed to all the different places Aang wanted to visit. I think the most stressful day had to be the one where I had to explain my past to Katara and Sokka. I remember Katara asking what I meant when I told Aang that I knew how it felt to have my whole world taken from me. I ended up telling Sokka and Katara my whole backstory of coming from a different world, talking with Avatar Roku and Guardian Anju, and spending time with Zuko and Uncle.

Afterwards, none of us really talked for a while. I think Katara and Sokka were kind of in shock. I think they accept it now though.

I groan and say, "Aang, are we any closer? We've been flying for Spirits know how long."

"You have no idea where you're going, do you?" Sokka says, looking up from the map he's holding.

Aang looks around and say sheepishly, "Welllllll, I know it's near water."

"I guess we're getting close then," Sokka deadpanns.

I crawl over to Rhu after that wonderful conversation. She pads over and settles into my lap. I smile and start to trace the patterns of her scales when I hear the beginnings of Sokka's sexist comments.

"Stop bugging her, airhead. You need to give girls space when they do their sewing," he said dismissively.

I raise my eyebrows up. "Excuse you?" I ask dangerously.

Sokka apparently doesn't realize the hot mess that he's just got himself into. He starts to explain by saying, "It's simple. Girls need space to do their sewing and cleaning while men do the hard work of hunting and stuff. It's the natural order of things."

"All done with your pants! And look what a great job I did!" Katara says with exaggerated happiness.

I smirk as she throws them at Sokka's face.

Sokka pulls them off of his face. "Wait! I can't wear these! Katara, please!" Sokka begs. Katara doesn't answer him, so he turns to me instead.Bad move, Sokka."Kazumi, will youpleasehelp me. You're a girl. I can't do this!"

I put on a fake smile and talk to Sokka in my nicest and politest voice. "Oh no Sokka! I'm sure I could do something that could fix your pants for you. I know since you're a big strong man, you can't trouble yourself with things like this."

I take the pants from Sokka and he smiles. "You see Katara. Now this is someone who understa-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

Flames are still coming out of my hands as Sokka's pants finish burning to ashes. "Oh no. Sorry. I guess all girls can't sew as well as you thought Sokka," I say with fake concern.

Everyone just stares at me in shock. Then, Katara and Aang bust out laughing while Sokka just glowers over in his corner of the saddle. I just lean back with a huge grin on my face.

Aang looks over his shoulder and says, "That's ok Sokka. Where we're going, you won't need pants!"

I hold up a finger and laugh saying, "As my first job as your Guardian, I'm going to protect all of us by teaching you to think about the way you say some things, Aang."

Appa lands on the beach shortly after that, and we all hop down from the saddle.Yay! I finally get to stretch!I twist my back from side to side and hear a few cracks.

"We just made a pit stops yesterday. Shouldn't we still be flying?" Sokka asks Aang.

Katara and I turn towards the conversation and she says, "He's right. At this rate we won't get to the North Pole until spring."

Aang walks over to Appa. "But Appa's tired already, aren't you boy?" I see Aang start poking Appa with his elbow. "Isaidaren't you boy"

I snort as Appa groans, trying to go along with Aang. I look around and it looks like nobody's buying it, but Sokka says, "Yeah, that was real convincing. Still it's hard to argue with a ten ton magical flying monster."

I turn to Sokka about to tell him to stop calling Appa a monster, but Aang shouts, "Look!" We all look out to the ocean where he's pointing. My mouth drops open as I see a giant fish jump out of the water.

"That's why we're here," Aang says as he starts to strip to his underwear. I hurriedly look away from him. "There's elephant koi here. I'm going to ride some. Katara, you've gotta watch me!"

Aang races out and jumps into the water. Katara and I let out a few giggles when Aang jumps into the air and yells. We wait and start cheering for him once he gets on one of the fish. Soon enough, we see something coming behind Aang and the fish, and we all start shouting and swinging our arms, trying to get him to come back to shore. We all look on in worry as he gets bucked off the fish and thrown into the water. I see Aang come up and hear him yell once he sees the Unagi behind him. The next thing I can see is him crashing into Sokka.

Katara and I rush over to them. "What was that thing?" Katara asks.

"I don't know," Aang answers.

Sokka stands up and brushes his pants off. "Well, I don't think we should stick around to find out."

I drop into a fighting stance when at least six or seven people drop out of the trees. There's at least two people trying to fight each of us. Three of them are heading towards me. One of them charge at me and swings her fans. I quickly block her attack and sweep my leg, catching her feet and sending her crashing into the sand. The two others come at me at the same time. I dodge one of their attacks and punch the other warrior a few times.

I wince.I don't want to hit them. I know they'll be nice to us later.I'm jerked out of my thoughts as a few others race over to me and surround me. Behind them, I see that Aang, Katara, and Sokka are all blindfolded and tied up. I'm still in my fighting stance and I look to see how many warriors are surrounding me. I start thinking about my choices, but I feel a hard hit to the back of my head and I black out.

I keep my eyes closed, but I wake up to an incredible headache. I squeeze my eyes and hiss in pain. Katara shouts, "Hey, guys she's awake!"

I groan a bit, "Katara, please, not so loud"

"Oh sorry," she says in a whisper.

Aang bursts through the door. "Kazumi! You're ok!"So much for not being loud.

I sit up on the bed I was laying down on and smirk. "Yeah, I've got a thick head. I'll be fine." I look around the room. "Where's Sokka and Rhu?"

Katara answers, "Sokka's just upset that a bunch of girls beat his butt. Now, he's stormed off to go talk to them. And Rhu-"

"Is right here," Aang finishes. He has Rhu in his arms, and he hands her over to me. Rhu looks up at me and puffs a tiny cloud of smoke out of her nostrils. She pads around curls up into my arms.

I smile and pet her. "Awwww, you're still adorable even when you try to be mad at me Rhu. I don't think you can help it."

We all let out tiny laughs at that. I know she's kind of angry with me for getting hurt. That's why she blew the puff of smoke at me, but I know she can't stay mad at me because she's curled up in my arms now.

I get off the bed and stand up. I put Rhu down on the bed where I was and stretch. Rhu makes a noise of disagreement and flies-more like hops-onto my shoulder.

I smirk and say to Katara and Aang, "I think someone is a bit clingy." We share a laugh. I go on to ask, "So what are you guys going to do now?"

Aang answers, "I don't know. I was thinking about just touring the island. They're giving us the royal treatment! They're even repainting Avatar Kyoshi's statue in our honor!"

"That sounds like a good idea, Aang," I say.

Katara, being the practical one, says, "Yeah, but we can't stay here for too long. That would be kinda risky." We all start to walk towards the door. "It's nice to see you excited about being the Avatar for a change. Just don't let it go to your head."

"Me? Come on, Katara. You know me; I'm just a simple monk," Aang says simply.

We walk through the front door and see a massive crowd of fan girls that cheer for Aang and drag him away. I snort. "Simple monk all right."

I turn to Katara and say, "I think I'm going to try to find Sokka. Let's see if he actually managed to beat any of the Kyoshi Warriors." I wave bye to her and start to walk down the road with Rhu still on my shoulder.

I walked down the road humming a song I knew to myself. Once I walked into town, I felt weird. I looked around and noticed a mix of different emotions from person to person in the town. Some people that looked at me were looking at me with excitement or awe. Others looked livid. Like they hated seeing a firebender on their island. I looked down and walked faster.I guess it doesn't matter whether I'm the Guardian or not. Some people are just gonna hate me because I'm a firebender.

I put my head down and walk faster. Right into someone. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" I hurriedly say to whoever I ran into. I look at who it is and I find out that I bumped into- "Katara?"

She smiled up at me. "Hey Kazumi. Can you help me pick these up?" She geustures to the basket and all of the vegetables on the ground.

I nod and get on my knees and help pick up all the vegetables on the ground. I look at her and see frustration all over her face.I'm not totally sure but I don't think I'm the reason she's that upset. Well, let's see.

"So Aang's being a jerk now, isn't he." I said it more like a general observation than a question.

Katara just sighed. "Yes. He is. He's letting all of this Avatar stuff go to his head! He's over there interested in all of his fan girls and not in the people who are traveling with him in the first place!" Katara finished in a huff.

"Do you feel better now that you let that out?" I ask her. Katara just nods. I continue, "But you're right. He is letting it go to his head. Unfortunately, I know that nothing we say to him is going to convince him otherwise. This is something he's just going to have to figure out on his own." I help her up and we carry the basket back to the house Kyoshi Island provided for us.

Unfortunately for me, we had to pass through town, and I got to go through all the staring all over again. Katara noticed this and we sped up our pace until we reached the house. Once we went inside I let out a breath and slumped down in a chair.

"Are you okay?" Katara asked me.

I look up at her. "No, not really, to be honest. I'm pretty sure at least half the town wants to kill me. It doesn't even matter that I'm the Guardian. They just see another ruthless firebender that's out to take over the world."

"Well, they're wrong. Eventually, they'll see that. Until then, I think I may have a temporary solution to your problem," Katara said.

I raise my eyebrows at her. "What could be a solution to my problem?" I ask with genuine curiosity.

She points at my clothes. I look down. I'm still in my Fire Nation clothes that I had from staying with Zuko and Uncle. I realize what Katara means. "Ohhhhhhhh"

We eventually make it back to the house after clothes shopping. With Katara's help, I got two Earth Kindgom outfits. I went straight to my room and changed into one of them. Then, I went outside and loaded my Fire Nation outfit and my other Earth Kingdom outfit onto Appa's saddle. I walked back up to the house just to almost be run over by a fuming Aang. I just shook my head and went about loading our supplies onto Appa's saddle. By the time I got finished, it was starting to get late.

I walked down to the beach and sat on the sand. I looked over the ocean water and sighed. It seems like years ago since I was on that beach in my other world. I have to remind myself that it's only been a few months.So much has changed...Then, I see a ship on the water coming towards the island.Zuko.I get up and sprint to the village. Then, I keep running to where the Kyoshi Warriors' training building is. I get there at the same time as Oyagi, the village leader. He quickly announces the ship's presence and we all run out and get ready to ambush the soldiers.

It seems like time moves slowly as the ship comes to a stop on the beach and the soldiers on rhinos come out of it. Zuko is in the front. They stop in the middle of the town.

"Come out, Avatar! Come out, Guardian! You can't hide from me for forever!" Zuko shouts into the air. He turns to his men and orders, "Find them."

The Kyoshi Warriors jump out and start to attack Zuko and the Fire Nation soldiers, but it doesn't take long before they're overtaken.

"Nice try, but these little girls can't save you," Zuko yells.

Aang and I both jump out at the same time. He's on one side of Zuko while I'm on the other. "We're here," Aang says.

Zuko jumps off of his komodo rhino and makes a wide arc of fire in front of him, trying to hit both of us at the same time. I block the fire while Aang jumps around it. Aang tries to use his staff and attack, but Zuko punches and sends fire blasts that knock it out of his hands. While Aang recovers, I turn to Zuko and send some fire blasts his way. He easily avoids them, but Aang uses a pair of fans he found to blow Zuko into one of the destroyed buildings.

I run up to Aang. "Go and find everyone and get everyone on Appa. You'll be faster on your glider," I say to him. He looks at me like he's about to argue but I say, "I'll be right behind you. Don't worry." He nods and launches into the air.

I take a deep breath and try to make my way back to where Appa was. After fighting of many Fire Nation soldiers, I finally made it to the clearing where Appa was. I saw that everyone was there so I scrambled up Appa's tail. Once I finally got into the saddle, Appa took off into the air.

There's a sad and tense atmosphere in the air as we leave. Katara moves closer to Aang and says, "I know it's hard, but you did the right thing, Aang. Zuko would have destroyed everything if we stayed."

Aang doesn't say anything, but he jumps off of Appa and into the water after a few seconds. We all scramble to the edge of the saddle to see Aang on the Unagi, basically using it as an oversized water hose. Once the village is no longer on fire, Aang is flung up onto Appa.

He holds his hands up in surrender and says, "I know. I know. That was stupid and dangerous."

"Yes, yes it was," Katara replied.

Katara draws Aang into a hug while he blushes. I just smirk and shake my head.
