Chapter 36:The islands

The next day Sokka woke up alone.

"Hello?!"He screamed.

"What?"Suki said from the other side of the rock.

"You didn't leave!"Sokka sighed.

Suki walked over the rock to where Sokka was and sat down next to him.He hugged her.

"We must leave.I see an island."Lucia said from behind them.They turned to see Lucia in Kaito's arms.

"Yes I agree."Suki said letting go of Sokka.

"Lucia can swim Kaito to that island.Sokka and I will be okay by ourselves."Lucia nodded.

"G'luck"Suki screamed as Lucia and Kaito swam at top speed towards the island she was talking about.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zuko and Katara

Katara woke up first.She got up and looked around.Zuko was laying to the left of her and Hanon was still in the water...a mermaid...sleeping.

Katara kneeled next to Zuko and shook him.

"Zuko.Get up."She whispered in his ear.

"Azula go away!"He said still asleep.

"ZUKO!"

"GO AWAY!"

"Oh Zuko.You pushed me!"She waterbended some water into a water whip.A smile formed across her face."this is for you calling me Azula"She whispered.

She wacked him across the cheek.He shot up and screamed in pain.

Hanon woke up from it.

"What's with the noise?"She said as she attempted to get up but when she couldn't she looked down to see her tail.

"Zuko.He called me Azula."Katara glared at Zuko.

"Did not."He rubbed his cheek while he stood up.

"Yeah he did.What were you dreaming about?"

"Nothing."He lied...badly.

"We have to talk later,but for now lets go and see if there is food and water on the island."She winked at Zuko.

"Yeah.Me food.You water.Hanon stay here."He winked back.

Zuko and Katara waved good bye and walked into the forest but they quickly went into a run.

"We can't just ditch her like that."Katara said to Zuko.

"Yeah but its better with just the two of us.We will go back for her.I promise."Zuko gave her a smile and kissed her.

"I hope your right."Katara hugged him.

Rina and Aang

Rina couldn't sleep.She looked over her shoulder at the sleeping young 12 year old.

She looked back at the sky.She noticed it started to get a light red.

"Morning."Said a voic from behind her.She jumped.

She looked back to see Aand standing up and walking towards her.He sat down.

"Morning."She replied.

"We should start looking for a town or some people...Shouldn't we?"

"Maybe."

"Should we split up?"

"No.We don't know this place well enough"She nodded.

"I agree."

"First we should look for some food and water.If we find anybody maybe they could fix the ship."

She nodded.Aang got up and put out his hand.She took it and they started into the forest.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sokka,Suki,Lucia, and Kaito

By the time Sokka and Suki got to the island Lucia and Kaito had already gathered some food.

"Hey what took you guys so long?"Lucia asked.

Suki and Sokka looked at eachother.

"WE don't have TAILS!"Sokka panted.

"Oh yeah..."Kaito chuckled.

"Did you find anything interesting?"Suki asked after she dropped to the ground gasping for air.

"Yeah there are fruit trees everywhere!There is a lake but no fish."

"NO MEAT?!"Sokka screamed.

"Sokka...fish isn't meat."Kaito said.

"Yes it is!"

"No...its actually not."

"It doesn't matter.is there any meat?"

"Sorry Sokka.No meat."Sokka whimpered.

Suki got up and patted him on the back.

Lucia and Kaito looked at eachother.They shrugged.

"This island is huge.There may be a small town somewhere."

"That is what we need,a town."

"With meat!"

"Yeah Sokka.With meat."Suki laughed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

zuko and Katara

"you are keeping something from me.I know it."She said as she continued to hug him.

"I am."It was a statement.

"Will you tell me?"

"Maybe."She kissed him long and hard.

"Yes.I will tell you.But not yet."

"But.."

"Not yet.It's too important to just tell you."Katara nodded.

"I forgot to tell YOU something."Katara said.

"What?"

"I'm turning 16 this summer."

Zuko stopped."It's the end of Spring."

"I know next month.I'm going to be 16!"

"That's...I can't wait."

"I know."

16 is marrying age Zuko thought.

"What's that sound?"Zuko said listening closely.

"Running water I think."

She ran forward through some bushes and saw a waterfall.

"WATER!"She ran towards the water stripping her outerclothes the whole way.She took out her hair and let it fall.She jumped in.

"Great...Water."Zuko said gloomily.

She came up and splashed some water on zuko.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aang and Rina

"Ouch."Aang looked behind him.Rina was on the ground.

"What happened?"

"The branch you just flung hit me in the stomach!"

"Oh.Sorry."He held out his hand.She hesitated and slowly took it.

She rose up.

He started walking again and he heard a "Omf"behind him.He turned to see her on the ground face down.He laughed at her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucia,Kaito,Sokka, and Suki

"Should I swim around the island to see the other side?"Lucia asked them.

"Lucia.Why would you want to go...alone?Besides...this island isn't THAT big!"

"I don't want to but I don't feel right on land."

"Lucia.Don't go."Kaito pleaded.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zuko and Katara

"Hey!"

"well some in then!"

"I don't want to."

"So?I'm telling you to...not asking."

"So?Doesn't mean I have to listen."

"Fine.Zuzu."She waterbended some water.It went around it and tightened.He move his arms in the opposite direction and untangled the water from around him.

"How did you...I'm a MASTER!"

"Well master,let's see if you can get me into the water."

"I can and will...princey."

She took the water he had dropped and froze it.She then took some water from behind her and she made a waterwhip and she made it strong.She extended it and she made it wrap around his waist and up and down his body.She pulled him along the ice and into the water.She smiled at her success

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aang and Rina

"Are you okay?"Aang asked an ohur after the fall of Rina.

"WEll.Let's review.I have been hit with branches,tripped by roots,thorns cut into my skin,I ruined my favorite shirt, and not to mention I got attacked by a wild hog monkey thing!SURE I"M FINE!"

"Just asking."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucia,Sokka,Suki,Kaito

"Kaito.Maybe she could help see if there is a town on the other side."Sokka tried.

"Sokka is right Kaito.I can take care of myself."

"No."

"Kaito.Girls aren't helpless.Look at me.I'm the best warrior on my island and I'm a girl."Suki winked at Sokka.(A/N Get it?All kioshi warriors are girls and they all are the best)

"Yeah but my girlfriend..."

"Is a mermaid.I fight waterdemons daily Kaito.If anything comes up...I'll sing."

"But if you leave me then I will be alone...with them!"He pointed at Sokka and Suki.

"What's wrong with us?!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zuko and Katara

Katara dove under to see Zuko.

She looked around but couldn't find him.She went down deeper so she was swimming with a school of fish.Zuko watched from behind a rock.

She glided along the bottom swimmming with the school of fish as if they were her friends.

I should ask her now.he thought.

He came out of hiding and swam in front of her.She smiled at him.He looked up and then back at her.She nodded.They kicked off the ground as hard as they could and they shot up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rina+Aang

"Do you smell that?"Rina asked after several minutes.

"No.What?"

"Water!Maybe even a river!"

She grabbed his hand and ran towards the smell.

"SLOW DOWN HANON!!!"Aang yelled.He made the biggest mistake ever!She stopped.He ran into her.

"I"M RINA!HANON HAS BLUE HAIR!MINE IS GREEN!!SEE?!"She flipped her hair hitting him in the face.

"Rina.You are kinda hurting my hand."She was still holding his hand and she was tightning her grip.

"Oh."She removed her hand,blushed,turned and quickly started to walk towards the water smell.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sokka,Suki,Kaito,Lucia

"There isn't anything wrong with you guys.Kaito is just a jerk."

"Yeah I got the vibe."Sokka replied.

"WHAT?!I AM NOT A JERK!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zuko+Katara

Zuko and Katara shot up out of the water.They reached the shore gasping for breathe.By the time they crawled onto the land they felt like someone was choking them.

"I think I'm ready to tell you what I was hiding from you."Zuko said.(A/N The thing he says next isn't a big surprise but it doesn't really make since.He was planning this for a long time and he was just waiting for her to say something so...Just read.)

"what?"

"Well.You are turning 16 right?"

"Yeah."

"And I'm 17.Turning 18 in December."

"Where are you going with this?"

"Well.16 is marrying age in the fire nation.But it's 18 in the water tribes."

"Please say you are going where I think you are going."

"Katara.When you are 16.Will you Marry Me?:

"Zuko.YES I WILL."Despite her out of breath she attacked him with hugs and kisses.

"You know Sokka Just may die."Zuko said hopefully.

"I know."They smirked."I Can't wait."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rina+Aang

"I think I can here running water."

"So can I."

They ran through some bushed to find a small pond.

"At least it's fresh clean water."Aang said with a slight smile.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hanon

"Where are they."(A/N Yep another authors note.Okay.I kinda left Hanon out because...I don't know why but I just did.She will come in more later in the story.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucia,Sokka,Suki,Kaito

"You know you are.If you won't let me go alone i will go and see Hanon and Rina."

"If you do.I'm coming with."

"What about us?"

"We will be back for you."

"We will?do we have to?"

"SHUT UP KAITO"They all screamed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Katara+Zuko

"Shouldn't we just stay here?"Katara asked still on top of him.They were still hugging.

""Yeah.I guess your right.This is clean water."

"That's not why.I can't move at all."

"Is it that you can't or you won't?"

"A little of both."She giggled.

"It's getting dark."Zuko said after about 5 minutes.

"So?"

"So.Shouldn't we find food?"

"I don't want."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aang+Rina

"It may be fresh water but it doesn't look like there is any fish in it."She said looking over the pond.

"I bet there is.It's big enough for something."

"It's also big enough to swim in!"She jumped in.As soon as she hit the water she transformed into mermaid form.

She came up."There's fish."She went back under.

"Looks like I'm right."He jumped in after her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hanon

Hanon looked up to the sky.It was starting to get dark.Something came over her and she jumped into the water.The ocean water was freezing cold but it didn't bother her.

She swam towards the island Lucia and Kaito were on.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucia,Sokka,Suki,Kaito

Luicia grabbed Kaito's hand.They stepped next to the water.She looked up to the sky,it was purple.She looked back towards the ocean."What's that?"

"Hanon!"

Lucia let go of Kaito and jumped in.They talked for a while and they came back.

"We are going to see Rina.Kaito grab my hand."Lucia held out her hand.
