Fire

The first day at the temple was- the best way to say it was annoying as it started with a bathtub. "Noo stop!" she yelled as katara was scrubbing her hair and the girl tried get out of kataras grip.

Katara just smiled as she bent a bubble of water and had splash on her head. "There clean as a otter penguin." Zuri just pouted at katara, shivering from the cold. "It's like you neve- What happened with your hands?" katara asked only now being able to see them, now that zuri wasn't hiding them behind her back, under the water or wearing gloves as she saw her palms were completely scarred. "How did this happend?"

She generated a fire in front of her keeping herself warm. "Never play with fire if your teacher isn't there to watch you." Kataras memory flashed remebering the first time aang had bend fire.

Zuri glared at katara as the mother of three put the fire out with a wave of water. "No fire around the house Zuri." She said as Zuri stuck her tongue out.

Zuri looked at the door before and heard tiny foot steps running away. "Who was that?" zuri asked running toward the door before slipping and falling on her face, after that she stayed in the guest room with an ice pack.

DAY 2

a little girl ran to her older brother room before breakfast. "She's a fire bender bumi!" The Three year old her older brother.

Bumi stopped reading the book his father was reading him last night him. "Really? That's so cool! We need welcome her can you draw something Kay?"

Zuri came in having ice pack on her face into the leaving room because the two adult were making breakfast. "Hi, i'm bumi!" he offered his and and zuri shacked his hand.

Kya smiled waving. "My name is Kya."

Zuri smiled. "Zuri, Former pick pocket." this made bumi get a mischievous grin on his face before whispering request into her ear. "Oh that's simple we would need kya to distract your parents, bur doable." she said smiling.

In the kitchen. "So when will zuko come and meet his niece?" Katara asked making a glass of milk for herself.

Aang froze not wanting to answer. "He will be here in-." He drank his glass of water making what he said unintelligible.

katara sighed. "No mater how long it will take i can understand." aang nodded.

"On Friday." she spat her out her drink.

"What?! Why couldn't he send someone to pick her up?"

"Yes...buuuut he said that he wants to pick Her up personally and he can't send any of guard in fear of azula still having spies, he can't send ty lee because she might tell everyone in a two mile radius, Mai said she has her hands are full with Izumi and a lot of people don't have a good opinion of azula and Keep saying anyone connected to her should thrown into cell and have the keys thrown away..." katara nodded and saw aangs hand going to for the cookie jar gave surprised look toward where the jar was. "Katara please I- Wait where is the jar?" He asked seeing it missing.

In aangs study the sounds cookies being devoured by three kids were heard. "Thanks zuri." Zuri just smilled.

"It was easy I wanted to trick them but they barely noticed I was there!" Zuri and bumi laughed and were about to grab another cookie and noticed a little girl had been hugging the jar and was going through sugar shock. "Um kya can we-" She ran away laughing and the two older kids chased after.

Kya was running faster and just before they caught the girl, one of the female acolytes stood in front of them crossing her arms. "So I presume mistress Katara gave that to you that jar." Zuri nodded and just carried kya away with bumi behind her. After sneaking the jar back and katara lectured aang about crumbs in his study.

Day 3

Zuri just stared at the ceiling for a few minutes before she noticed that bumi was Holding a book and started gatting closer. "What's that?" she looked at the scribbles and lines trying to make sense of it.

Bumi raised an eye brow. "It's a book about the blue Spirit who spread chaos where ever he went, nobody knows who he actually was but it says that he saved my dad once." zuri gave him a confused look. "What?"

"YOU CAN READ?!" Bumi almost jumped away, being startled by the Girl. "I thought you just know it when your old!" she said not knowing a diffrent way to say adult because most of the Kids she knew never have read a word in their lives. Only the bosses knew how to read and they were all adults or as the Kids in her aang said behind their bosses backs "grumpy oldies"

Bumi nodded and then had Revelation. "Wait you can't read?" He asked not being able to understand that someone the same age as him couldn't read.

Yuri nodded. "Nope not a single word! Only the grumpy Oldies could read and write. They mostly read the back of watches to see if something was fake." Bumi just imagined his Pop Pop but with a crowl and one tooth when she said grumpy oldies.

Bumi had a idea that would backfire. "I could teach you how to." zuri smiled and nodded furiosly and stopped as head her hurt for a few second.

Bumi gotten a chalk board and wore a hat from a sage that his uncle had given him. "First we have to learn about the A!" He said in a Stern manner to zuri and kya who had woken up from her nape and wanted to Play with older brother and their guest.

His sister yawned rubbed her eyes. "The hat Looks weird with out the beard." Zuri was already keeping herself from launghing but after bumi came back wearing the beard from his uncles old props she burst out launghing and kya joined in the laughing.

Bumi pounted and yelled. "Mom!" Katara came in and saw his sun wearing the dumb beard and the sage hat. "I'm trying to teach them how to read but they're laughing at me!" Katara just cringed at the beard remebering the Stunts her brother pulled with it and then she heard what bumi was trying to do.

Katara looked at the two girl laughing their guts out and smiled. "Kya is too Young but I think zuri should stay here and don't laugh at your siefu zuri." She picked up kya easily who was still laughing.

After she finished. "Now as your elder-"

zuri interupted. "You're only one year older and i'm taller then you!" Bumi pouted and calmed down.

"Yes, anyway we will now learn the letter A like Aang."

Zuri looked confused. "who's aang?"

"Dad's Name is aang."

"Wait I thought his Name was Avatar."

"No that's title."

"Ok. So we are starting with A?"

"Yep and then B like Bumi and the C like Chief."

"Wait I thought her Name was toph."

"Yea Chief is a title too."

"Ok but do you have a title?"

"My title is "super sifu big brother bumi!" Zuri just dead panned at that.

"You made that up."

"Maybe, but after c come D like Dai Li ."

"Who's that ?"

"They're the Police in ba sing se."

"The E is for earth and F is for Fire-"

"You should have started A for air then." Bumi stopped face palmed. "You know what just Keep sing."

After going the letter this zuri stayed silent because the rest were animals. "And z is for zuko." Zuri raised an eye brow because she never heard of the Name before.

"Who's Zuko?" She and bumi gave a suprised gasp.

"You don't know who the firelord is?"

Zuri eyes widened for bried Minute. "I never actually knew his Name before maybe it's because I have lived in the United Republic of Nations my whole life and most People don't care about kings of other nations." She said tired of everyone knowing more about her Family. "So is that it? Now I'm able to read?" Bumi nodded.

"But How do I understand those scribbly lines? You have been singing that song for the last 3 minutes." Bumi looked at the chalk board noticed that his dad had writen each letter before he said it no wonder it went so fast.

But bumi cleared his voice and wrote each of the. "Letters! the are Things needed to write and read." Zuri was already looking at a book and started reading mostly because she was getting bored of listening to bumis song twice over.

Day 4

Next morning bumi came into the guest room where zuri was with book on her head. "Zuri why-" he looked at the title of the giant book and found it was a lexicon. "Now that makes sense." Zuri woke up and threw the book at bumi.

"That was the most boring Thing I have exprienced!" Bumi was gasping for air witht e book on his chest and Zuri pulled it off of him.

"You're stronger then you look."

"You have to be when you carry a bag full of Gold watches."

"You have a Gold watch?" Bumi asked.

"maybe, But I won't Show you."

"Oh come on! Whyyyyy."

"Because someone might take it away and it was the only Thing I didn't ste- I mean find."

"Really master pick pocketer?"

"Yep I got it because they liked my juggling."

"You can juggle?"

"I can juggle fire." She spoke with pride.

Bumis eyes widened and grined ear to ear. "Show me!" So after breakfast zuri and bumi sneaked out of the temple and there she started creating by generating a fire and then trowing in her other Hand and repeat untile she was handeling four fire balls at once. One of acolytes saw this but instead of reporting this to aang or katara she watched. A few seconds later kya joined and sat next to her brother and after few minutes when she did her final trick crowd had formed. "Now watch out." She threw the fire balls into the air as they were about to land her mounth they exstinguished. ""thank you-" Her cheecks puffed up everyone suprised for Moment before she burped up fire. "Oh sorry I ate a Little too much." The crowd Laughed at the childish joke.

As the air acolytes left and saw aang still laughing at. "You Need to show me how to do that!" zuri looked suprised but agreed to it.

Day 5

Zuri was getting used to the Island and it was a nice place the air was clean not loud noises. It was a paradise in a City of steel and concrete. The Sky was clear of anything just few Ballons and a Dragon...Wait WHAT?!

Zuri stared at the fantastic beast as the man with a scar on his left eye. She stared which was returned by Zuko.

The Girl was uncanny unlike the others he saw Details that katara or aang didn't such as her brows weren't as thin as azula or that her hair was lighter tone of Brown then his sisters but he couldn't deny it. Here he froze He was able to speak with Generals twice his size, ruthless politicians and faught his own Monster of a sister but now, this girl had him stunned all the resentment and fear he felt during his childhood flashed before him but when it stoped he saw a girl. The daughter of the sister that caused so much grief that harmed so many People but also a child who grew up on the streets. He had to say one thing to himself 'she is not azula' a girl who was raised to be a weapon, yet her daughter wasn't he might be ozais son but he wasn't as heartless as him and she was not heartless as azula.

Zuri just stared at the man he had a Aura of strength about him, his eyes looked if it had seen all the pain and joy the world had to offer, it was uncanny to her. She didn't know what she was feeling joy, awe, fear, sadness, it was so hard to explain.

What was one a second felt to both of them like an eternity until a friendly voice entered their bubble. "Zuko! I see you already met zuri come on in you two." He grabbed Zuko and zuri by shoulder and guided them into the temple.

The room had this Tension that no one understood. "Do you under stand what's going on?" Katara seing the two fire Nation royalty sitting infront of each other.

Aang shock his head. "No idea, I think they're both trying to think about what to say but either know how to talk to each other, I mean zuko doesn't know how to interact with Kids that isn't izumi and zuri has been doing her best avoid us." They saw kya walk into the room and the other two look at hoping she would this awkward Tension.

"Are you taking zuri with you?" Zuri looked Zuko waiting for an answere before he cleared his voice.

"Yes I am."

"Wait what?" She asked confused at why he wanted to take her with him.

"Yes, Your Grand mother, Great uncle and aunts were suprised when I told them about you." Her eyes widened, More Family members...

"Wow... My mother must have been heartless if she didn't just bring me to you." Zuko winced at that yet to be honest it was completly accurate.

Kya hugged zuri. "No! Zuri is fun, she know fun trick and she makes jokes about bumi when his acting dumb." Bumi growled for Moment her mother Holding her laughter.

Zuri looked at kya and then at zuka it hard to decide what was right but it was also Chance to meat her Family.

"I have go kya." Looked at her with her puppy eyes and tear in them made it worse before she was able to say anything kyas mother took her.

"Because Kya, zuri's gran gran misses her and she was to go back." Kya looked at her mother and nodded understanding.

After zuri packed which not much he looked at katara and aang bowing toward them following zukos example but this didn't mean bumi would hug her. "You will visit right?" she nodded before hitting him on the shoulder.

Zuri climbed on t o the Dragon was something she thought would never happen and flew she just Held on to her uncle for dear life and quastioned why nobody had ship or a car!
