Kathe:STILL ON A CLIFF HERE!
Ednal: *reading though the script blushing furiously*
Fukurō: What's wrong Ednal?
Ednal: N-n-n-n-nothing! * shoves the script away*
Fukurō: Oh are you nervous about the chapter?
Ednal:AM NOT! *hits him so hard he's knocked over*
DeaththeCutie: *demond mode activated* Hehehe *hits both on the head* YOU'RE RUINING THE SURPRISE!
Ednal hugged Fukurō tightly as the little boat swished back and forth.
"Fukurō, was this the only way to get to Kyoshi island?" Ednal didn't look as sick as she felt, but it took work to keep herself from hyperventilating.
Fukurō didn't waver, like a rock on solid ground, even with all the swaying of the boat. He looked back at her with a gentleness in his eyes, "Unfortunately, yeah, this was the only way." His voice was smooth and even. Stable. Safe. "The fisherman said he could take us to Kyoshi, but we have to find our own way back."
"Well I still don't like it," Ednal blushed slightly realizing she had been staring into his eyes and looked away in some denial.
Fukurō smiled slightly and turned to the horizon to see the slightest bits of islands creeping up on them, "Well we're almost there so you don't have to worry that much longer."
~randomness~
When they arrived at the island there wasn't a dock or anything, just a beach that the boat drove in as far as possible but Ednal and Fukurō would have to jump in to go the rest of the way.
"Alright you two, this as far as I go. You'll have to go the rest of the way yourself." the old fisherman said in a raspy old voice.
"Thanks, dude," Ednal said simply, grateful to get off the ship. She slipped her shoes off and jumped into the water.
Fukurō turned and bowed politely, "We appreciate your generosity." Then he jumped into the water after Ednal who both started to walk through the knee deep water. They tumbled onto the sand with the bottom of their clothing soaked.
The boat was already bobbing away into the sunset. The two looked at it for a few minutes in silence until Fukurō spoke up. "What happened here?" They both looked around at the blacked trees with branches bare.
"Fire nation," Ednal said with a pain in her voice. She knelt down picking up a blacked branch, "How far will ozai go" the branch crumbled to ash, "Until everything is burned away?" she questioned but it wasn't directed at Fukurō but at the fire lord himself.
Fukurō looked at her with worried green eyes that darkened, "You sound like you know the guy? I thought you were just a fire nation citizen who got sick with his rule" She stood up and looked at him tears almost escaping from her eyes.
She then placed a hand on a dead tree, "You could say that. I've learned from experience that we firebenders can bring nothing but destruction. The people in power, like the fire lord, get consumed with that power wanting to watch the rest of the world burn" They continued walking
"What was your relationship with the fire lord?" Fukurō asked completely curious
Ednal froze like it was a memory she would, "I was a lady of ozai's quotes i knew the prince and princess well"
Fukurō looked at her for a long time as if for the first time. "Now it's up to me to save the nation from complete destruction, even if you die. I was a part of the problem so the world would be better if i die"
"You think that you deserve to die, even though there was nothing you could do at the time" Fukurō said relunctant
Ednal looked at him with a glare that period his soul, "Don't you see i could've helped him!"
"Helped who?"
"Zuko!" Ednal said tears finally sleeping form her eyes, "I wasn't right there i could've helped him! I was right there but i was too frightened to act!"
Fukurō saw how much pain she was in finally there was more to this girl than a unique blond strike and a smile she had suffered a lot of pain. He couldn't take it anymore he brought her into a big hug holding her close, "Ednal-You don't have to carry such a burden on your own" Ednal looked so surprised her former tears sparkled like stars around her face, "You have Kathe Edward Alphonse and me" Ednal couldn't bring herself to move no one had hugged her like this in a while. But tears started forming again "Baka!" she said quietly. "MY name's Rochann"
"Ro?" Fukurō gave a warming smile "I like it"
-Guy wearing a dress-
It didn't take them long to find the small village with damaged wooden houses, "Hello!" EDnal yelled she was expecting to be invited peacefully into the village. With the amount of damage she thought that they would be looking for help. That's not what they got when women warriors came out of nowhere and put both her and Fukurō into a hold that neither could escape from.
A friendly looking old man approached them saying, "What are you doing girls!? Just because the fire nation attacked us doesn't mean that you have to attack all the mysterious characters!"
"But what if they destroy our village more?" The women who looked like the leader of the warriors accused
Fukurō looked at them and was able to say, "We're not with the fire nation, we're just look for avatar we need his help"
There were nervous glances between the warriors and the old man who they assumed to be the mayor. The girls who were sitting on top of them jumped off and helped them up. "We are so sorry we didn't know you were looking for the avatar"
"We heard that he visited here, Do you know where he's going?" Ednal asked a little annoyed
"Why don't you all come inside for dinner and tell us your issue"
-edty-
Ednal and Fukurō both came into the mayor's house and sat a table laid with a feast of meat and fruits. They hadn't eaten like this in a while and ate until they were completely stuffed. They found out that the avatar left right after prince zuko had attacked the village to lead the firebenders away. Ednal cringed at the thought of Zuko attacking the village. The Kyoshi warriors had protected the village though now they were planning on leaving.
"Why would you want to leave?" Ednal asked, "This village is so peaceful"
Suki the leader said, "Well when the avatar we saw that we were one of the more fortunate people of the earth kingdom. WE kyoshi warriors decided that we would make more of a difference out there than staying here on this island."
Ednal looked at them inspired and a little jealous. They were so willing to sacrifice themselves for other people with fire nation people were only raised to fight for their own sake. Fukurō saw the look in her eyes and stated, "Well i'm sure you'll be a great help. You girls are strong"
Some of the girls squealed at his remark, probably because he added his charming sparkling smile. Ednal gave him a glare with fire in her eyes he sweatdropped. Everyone just sorta laughed at their relationship.
"If you don't mind me asking-" Suki cut in, "Why are you looking for the avatar?"
Fukurō and Ednal exchanged glances. They didn't really know why Kathe never told them her reason for searching him out. "Well we've got a friend, her name's kathe" Ednal started
"She's the real on searching for him we don't know why but she and her friends say they come from a different country besides the fire nation, earth kingdom, or water tribe."
The kyoshi warriors looked confusingly at them then at the mayor who stated, "Well i although there was nothing more than our great nations but looks like there's much more to this world than anyone actually knew."
After talking a bit more Fukurō and Ednal were given a room to rest through the night. The fishing boat wasn't gonna be back, so they would wait to leave with the Kyoshi warriors the next morning. The room almost completely dark except for the single candle that illuminated Ednal's book than she was drawing in while layd out on her stomach. Fukurō layd with his back facing the light.
"Hey Ednal?" Fukurō asked breaking the thick silence that had descended between them making her jump and drop her pencil. She then responded picking up her pencil, "Yeah?"
"Firebenders aren't the only ones with dark secrets in the shadows, Earthbenders can do dark things as well." Fukurō said with a sadness in his voice
Ednal closed her book pushing it off to the side, "YHa right earthbenders are loyal and strong. When you're surrounded by firebenders you don't know when or who's gonna stab you in the back." she added, "You have no idea how many times one of ozai's own counselors has tried to murder him"
Fukurō looked at at her with saddened eyes, "Well yes and yes but we're only loyal to ourselves there are people in the earth kingdom who'd do anything for power including betraying their own kingdom. Are hearts are made of stone we can't really feel anything" He shifted onto his back letting his hand fall in between their bodies.
Ednal repositioned onto her side grabbed his hand, "Well at least you have a heart, sometimes i think firebenders don't even have a heart" the light from the cadel made her eyes glitter a pretty yellow
Fukurō sat up letting go of her hand and placed a both hands on either side of her, making his body right on top of hers. Ednal was screaming inside, she tried to control her emotions but the scent of mint enveloped her nose. A Red flush went into her cheeks eyes widening she could see his emerald green eyes. He smiled, and not one of his fake pretty boy smiles a smile from the heart, "Ya know Ro- you're cute when you blush."
Ednal couldn't move, her black hair sprawled out around her and Fukurō so close. He placed a hand gingerly on her cheek. It wasn't what she expected a earthbender hands to be like. Smooth and gentle. As he leaned down she closed her eyes preparing for whatever could come next.
-I ship it-
The next morning as the sun broke the horizon making a warm yellow light flood the village. The kyoshi warriors loaded a ship, Fukurō and Ednal looked as the warriors said goodbye to family or friends. They didn't have anyone to say goodbye to since they only really got to know the kyoshi warriors, who were coming with them. Suki had just said goodbye to some young girls and approached them.
"Don't you have parents to say goodbye to?" Ednal asked
Suki smiled, "Already did"
Fukurō smiled back, "I would like to thank all of you for taking us across on your boat"
"It's alright we're both heading to the same place," then she looked at the other kyoshi warriors who seemed to look at Fukurō and giggle. "I think the girls don't mind your presence there Fukurō"
There was a large splash on the other side of the boat, "it's the Unagi!" a kyoshi warrior yelled. Pointing at the large purple scaled eel with very very large fangs. The black slits in the yellow eyes stared at the ship.
"Girls get off the ship, it's gonna destroy it!" the MAyor yelled at the people on the ship
The warriors ran off the ship knowing that they couldn't be able to defeat the unagi. The Unagi opened up it's big mouth about to swallow the small boat. Until a big rock hit it in the head making it recoil. Then it roared again baring it's fangs.
"Well that isn't very nice," Fukurō said stepping forward sighing
Everyone stared in awe at him but as the unagi leaped forward a flaming blade swept past catching one of the long barbels while Fukurō make a rock wall that the unagi ran into. It backed up again getting ready to roar. Furuko gave it a deathly glare that would make any man run away with fear and that included the unagi.
"Why did the unagi attack?" one villager commented
"More importantly didn't you see some sort of flame be produced?"
The may yelled, "Calm down everyone, what's important is that everyone is safe and the kyoshi warriors can continue on their journey!" There was a cheer from the crowd as furuko boarded the boat again followed by all of the kyoshi warriors.
They all looked to the sunrise as they left the small island that opened many possibilities for Fukurō and Ednal.
