DISCLAIMER: I own nothing associated with Avatar: The Last Airbender. However I do own my character: Kaida
Sokka was in the room, he stood defensively next to the girl, glaring menacingly at the others. They shouldn't mess with Sokka, or so he thought. Naturally he always thought of himself as a strong, powerful young man. However Kaida knew that he wasn't all he thought himself to be. It was a comforting thought sometimes though. Ty Lee's eyes sparkled upon looking the man up and down. She admired his thin but muscular build, his dark skin and crystal blue eyes. Kaida had to admit, he had a certain charming aspect about his physical appearance. If only Ty Lee knew him well enough.
"Hi Sokka!" She said with a giggle, twisting and pulling at her hair while batting her lashes in a flirtatious manner.
"Let Kaida go." He demanded in a harsh tone. Kada put a hand out and touched his arm, looking up to him sympathetically.
"Sokka, don't. I can handle myself." She muttered, her gaze switching between him and her half-sister. The harsh golden eyes pierced through her skin, more easily than a knife. Yet the subtle blue eyes seeped through her skin like a gentle stream of water. Either way, she couldn't hide anything in front of them both together.
"Yeah, Sokka, she can handle herself. She's a big, tough girl." Azula teased, looking at her with a tight smile. Kaida didn't know whether to fear it or to brush it off as a simple smile. Her head was a little jumbled at the moment anyway.
Sokka turned and gripped Kaida by her arms and looked her from head-to-toe with a stern gaze. "No way am I doing that." He hissed. Was he really upset at her for that? Or was he just in his defensive mode still? She really couldn't tell.
She pulled away and rubbed at the wound hidden beneath her robes. Situations like this had a tendency to stress her out more than needed. "Sokka." She whined, looking between all of them. No, she didn't have her vial of water, and she was weak from her wound, so bloodbending could hurt her more than help her at the time.
Bravely she strode up to Mai. She pushed her fears to the back of her mind and grabbed her by the wrists, pulling her hands out, both which were gripping sharp knives. She held the position for a moment, glaring into the yellow eyes that she once knew to be the loving eyes of her sister.
"Mai, look at us. Look at how we've changed. What happened to the little girl I had to protect? Where's that loving, fiery drive inside you? The shyness? You were such a good kid, so obedient. I never thought of you as anything but a sister. A sister that I loved and would do anything for. I didn't know that I was a princess. You know I would've taken you with me if given the chance. Do you think I wanted to leave? Look at what has happened since then. People we loved have died, our love for eachother died with that. You were such a beautiful, good girl. You never gave up, always such a persistant but loving girl. Where has that gone, Mai?" Kaida ranted, gripping her fists as tight as possible. Tears welled in her eyes as she spoke.
"And what about you, Kaida?" Mai began with a hiss. "You were my big sister, you never let me go without. I came first to you, not some silly boy, or some stupid duties. What happened to the firebender in you? Did that water put out the flames? You were nothing like how you are now. You were flighty, sometimes a bit stupid. You froze up around royalty, it was the funniest thing. Still you had that same awful elegance about you, not the kind you have now. Those water tribe people have filled your mind with water and arrogance. You're not as important to them as you think. I'm better than how I was, I've grown better and stronger. You? You're nothing." She retorted, pulling free of Kaida's grasp and whipping out a dagger from her kimono.
She sliced at Kaida's stomach. Sokka, shocked, jumped up and tried to defend her. Kaida pushed him to the side and twisted her fingers about, glaring straight at her. Within minutes, Kaida's blood rushed and burned through her veins as she twisted her sister to the ground, a screech of pain dripping from her lips. She stepped back and placed a hand over the gash. "Get out of here." She hissed, pushing past the three and opening the windows.
"Get out, and if I ever see you again, I won't hesitate in killing you." She muttered, her eyes flashing a glowing blue for a moment. The three rushed out just as Aang and the king came in through the doors.
Zuko sat with Jin. He managed to avoid the awkward conversation with his uncle. The two sat in the shop sipping tea happily, talking about each other and how Jin's flowers were. Everything was nice between the two. "Anything new, Zuko?" She asked with a smile, tapping her fingers against the smooth wood.
"What do you mean?" He asked, lazily resting his chin on his hand, looking over to the girl.
She smiled bashfully and shrugged. "Just anything new, that's all. When will your vacation be over?" She asked, thinking about what she would do once Zuko returned to the Fire Nation.
He sat up straight and blinked, he hadn't thought of that yet, actually. "Well, I, I really don't know. Possibly soon, possibly another month from now. No matter the case, soon I will be having another of my multi-nation parties and I would adore it if you..." He trailed off and blushed slightly.
She began to blush and she leaned over the table. "If I what?" She asked in a whisper.
"If you would like to be my guest."*
*Guest is the same as date in this case*
