Here is the next chappie! Sorry I haven't been writing lately. I've been sick the past couple of days, but that's really no excuse, since I've just had a sore throat, and that doesn't really affect my typing... XD Maybe I could say my fingers temporarily fell off...? Fingerfalloffitis. Yes, that's it. I HAD FINGERFALLOFFITIS! But I got better.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Avatar, or anything related to Avatar. If only I did, though... let's just say that a certain Fire Nation prince and a certain Avatar would be making out every 5 minutes. *muahaha*

Chapter 13

*Since I have estimated (AKA guessed randomly) that it would take at least a month or so to get from the western Earth Kingdom to the Fire Nation, I will skip to...

ONE MONTH LATER!*

---back to Yuki's POV (Point Of View)---

I really didn't speak much to Lee or Kuzon on the ship. Being surrounded by Fire Nation people can make you nervous when you're plotting to squ-- I mean, kill some of their people. Kinda makes you feel... guilty. Should I really be doing this?

No.

Where'd that come from?

I looked around my small room onboard the boat. No one was there. I could swear I heard a little boy... maybe that Kuzon kid is playing pranks on me...

Yuki, don't do it.

Okay, I could really hear it that time. Am I going insane on this boat? Apparently so. Ugh, this is why I hate traveling on water... stupid hallucinations...

Please, Yuki.

"SERIOUSLY!" I screamed, grabbing my pillow and throwing it in the direction of the noise. Unfortunately, the direction of the noise was my head, so I ended up hitting myself. Maybe I should think before I start throwing pillows at things.

I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." I mumbled through the pillow.

"Um..." The Kuzon kid walked in.

"You were the one who was talking." I said.

"... about what?" He blinked several times.

"I heard someone. They sounded a lot like you." I mumbled.

"... but, I wasn't in this room... I was out on the deck." The kid said, gesturing towards the door.

"Just forget it." I shook my head and set the pillow back on my bed.

"Oh-kay... well, um, Lee just wanted me to tell you that we're probably going to reach the Fire Nation by tomorrow."

"Good." I sighed. "I'm more than ready to get off this freakin' boat."

"Me, too."

There was a very long, awkward silence in the room. You could probably be able to hear a feather drop. And it'd be loud as if you'd dropped a brick.

"So, um, what was it that you were planning to do when you got to the Fire Nation?" Kuzon asked. Seriously, this kid couldn't remember what he had for breakfast, could he?

"You've forgotten?" I asked.

"Uh, yeah." He mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck.

"All right, then." I approached him until there was barely a couple feet between us. "Listen closely. I am going to the Fire Nation to kill some Fire Nation soldiers in order to get revenge for the Avatar."

Don't do it, please!

I snapped my head to the side. Where was that voice coming from?!

I looked back at Kuzon, who seemed to not have heard it. Seriously, I'm insane.

"O-okay." Kuzon nodded. "I get that part. But, um, how... and why... and define 'soldiers'."

"How? With this." I held up my weapon of choice, and Kuzon's face seemed to pale. "Why? The Fire Nation killed my brother. Define 'solders'? I am not going to tell you, because you..." I poked him with one end of the weapon. "Are Fire Nation."

"..." He nodded frantically, and I returned to my side of the room.

Several minutes passed, in which the only sound in the room was the clanking of Kuzon's hairpiece against the wall as he trembled.

Soon, the trembling stopped, and the kid spoke up.

"Um... you're the Avatar's sister?" He asked.

"Yes. Any other questions?" I replied.

"N-no, ma'am."

Another awkward pause.

"B-but, my friend told me something once. He said that revenge was like a two-headed ratviper. While you watch your enemy go down, you're being poisoned yourself."

"How charming. Your friend sounds like an airhead." I mumbled.

"Aang is not an airhead!" The young boy stood up for his friend.

Wait.

Aang?

I spun around and grabbed the kid by his shirt, practically lifting him in the air. He emitted a small squeak.

"Aang?" I asked. "T-that's my brother! Y-you knew my brother?"

"I don't know! I-is Aang the Avatar?"

"Yes! Yes, he is! A-and you knew him, and ooh!!" I hugged the boy tightly before suddenly letting go.

Okay, maybe I should lay off the sugar...
