Three months later.
"bababa bored bored bored, bored the is the word"
Izumi looked at zuri to song she just made up because they studying. "Come on, just because you're good at math doesn't mean You don't need to do your homework!"
Zuri sighed. "why?" She said as she showed her homework done."I'm already did it during fire bending theory and I'm waiting on you so we can Play a game." Izumi started checking if they were right but she didn't find if any of them were wrong.
Izumi pounted. "why are you so good at math?! I thought you grew up on the streets!" She then bit her tounge she shouldn't have said that but zuri didn't care much giving her explaination.
Zuri picked her ear. "Math is easy you just need to learn how to Count and when most of what you do is Counting yuan and evaluate the stuff you stole then, numbers become simple." She said being the one who brought the loot to him.
Izumi looked at her with pity. "Do you miss the City?" Zuri looked and gave a slight nod.
"Yea but not the stealing or beating Police officers." She showed looking at her the watch. "This was a gift from my dad we're not related by blood but he was still Family so were the rest of them." She said her eyes tearing up.
Izumi gave her a hug "There there, I'm sure they're fine if you taught how to pickpocket." Zuri chuckled "Give me my extra pair of glasses back." zuri did so she still pickpocked but People didn't notice and izumi would be the person to return the items saying she found them.
Zuri lied down. "I remember me and big sis saying that we would form our own gang and beat that water bending jerk." Izumi gave a annoyed look.
Izumi knew this one water bender did something but she Need to be sure. "So is it only this one water bender or all water Benders?" she asked looking into her eyes.
Zuri gulped. "No only him and a Little katara because threw in a bath tub, splashed me every time I made a fire." Izumi giggled at that remebering the time she fell into the pond.
Zuko entered the room. "I Need to speak with you zuri." Zuri stood up and followed her uncle to his studies hoping it was positive and not something about School. "Do you know the Name yakone?" she clenched her fist as her nails dug into her Skin hatred and fear mixed but she didn't show it and was calm and she nodded. "Have you witnessed him being able to move People simply by moving his Hands?" her jaws clenched pressing on her teeth as if they were about shatter but zuri simply nodded agian.
Zuko sighed. "There will be a Trial in a few days and you will testify agianst him." Grin appeared on her lips and zuko never liked it when zuri smiled with her mouth closed, it always reminded him of azula in more ways then one but this case it was exactly like his sister atleast it was joy to putting a criminal away and not fiilled with malice toward her Family.
They packed for the next few days and said goodbye to the rest of the Family. Zuko was thinking about what talk to her about... 'School? No that's too lazy. Bad mouth someone? If I did someone would have me him tied up. Talk about aang and the rest of his Circus of a Family? About fire bending? That's like talking about School agian!' "How did you know yakone?" He mentally face palmed 'great Job Fire Lord zuko'
Zuri sighed "It was way back when I was 7 dad and I were going back to our base and the next Thing you know a water bender with digusting look in his eyes Standing outside with the rest of the Family outside." Zuko noddded Feeling hatred the way she described the man reminded zuko of him. "Alten was terrified and zolt was crying his eyes out and when me and dad tried to attack him... He controled us I felt the fiber in my Body being puppeted, as if strings were extending from his fingers it was horrible." Fire was wild it was hard to Control and to contain, be reckless then it will devour you, be too forceful then it will extinguish. "After that, I couldn't walk for a week had to hold on to my siblings for Balance untile I could regain my strengh. I don't know what it's called but I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy." Zuko just looked at and decided to Change the subject.
"So About your dad." Zuri face turned to a gaint smile the type zuko liked seeing.
Zuri's were full of excitement "Oh you would have loved him, he was always energetic and a fire bending Artist well he liked to call himself that I just called him mad but he would say 'ART IS THE GREATEST FORM OF MADNESS!" Zuri said dramatically causing zuko to laugh this guy reminded him a bit of sokka. "One time he bend his fire to look a giant turtle duck and used a microphone and said. 'I am the great turtle duck Spirit give the duck bread or I will devour you!' it ended with alot ducklings looking like baloons." Zuko chuckled at as zuri continued telling stories about her father figure.
Once they reached air bender Island zuri fell off the Dragon with zuko catching before she could hit the ground. Zuko looked at katara who took the sleeping child. "Rough ride?" then Katara saw the bags under his eyes.
He sighed "Almost 6 Hours talking and no pause in between! I can barely take of one child how do you take care of three?!" Katara just chuckled.
Katara carried zuri to the guest. "We mostly let them go free range." Bumi and kya were asleep on the guest bed.
Zuko looked around trying to find the youngest member of the Family. "Where is tenzin?"
Katara Placed Zuri next to the two hyper active Kids. "tenzin is in his room, he wasn't here when zuri stayed us because sokka wanted to Show him south pole heritage even though I told him we could go to the cultural Center instead of taking a submarin to the south pole..." Zuko snorted remembering the one submarine sokka had for himself because it was unique.
The next morning after breakfast Zuri started look around the place and saw a bald kid who she saw at the breakfast table "Hey." The kid ignored her and so she decided to walk Closer to him and started having a plan which involved leaves. "OK say nothing if you don't want me to do a prank on you." She grinned and started placing leaves on top of the air childs head and when bum found them he decided to make a game out of it.
Kya and heard the rules from the two older Kids. "Ok whoevers leaf causes it to fall is the loser and if tenzin moves then his the loser?" They nodded. "Bending allowed?" the water bender asked Planning to use her water to win the two shrugged and this continued until the leaves reach the hight of the tree.
Aang came to see the Tower of leaves infront of him. "Ok tenzins doing great but what's with the Tower of leaves?"
Kya spoke up. "We were playing a game but we ran out of leaves." She said as aang saw the Island was completly clean. Decided to air bend and have the leaves in a nice pile which ended with his children jumping into it except tenzin. "tenzin why won't you join them?" He didn't answere until zuri poked him.
"No 10 more minutes." Aang face palmed what he thought was Meditation was actually his son sleeping what did he expect from a five year old.
Bumi walked to him and shacked his brother. "Time to wake up!" Tenzin woke up screaming at his brother to stop and zuri laughed.
"You woke Baby from his nap." Zuri teased which cause the Boy to look at the guest.
"I'm not a Baby! I'm air bender!" Zuri nodded and said.
"Ok you're air Baby." Tenzing smiled satisfied that she unter stood her a air baby- His face truned red and he ran after the fire Nation princess.
Aang looked a bit nostalgic. "Hey zuko come here you got to see this!" The Lord entered the room and saw the two children with tenzin hitting zuri back with tiny fist yelling. "Take it back! I'm not a Baby!" Zuko wished he had a camera right now as this was too cute.
later the Kids and katara because you couldn't leave two 10 year olds, a 7 year old and one of the last air Benders alive that was her child. "Oh I know There is this great place in the park!" katara like the idea since it meant she could Keep a eye on the Kids without worrying about ostrach horse hitting them or someone trying to kidnap them.
Zuri walked to a stand with wheels and yelled. "Hey old hag I have some customers for you!" A tooth pick was thrown to the ground and the curtens were thrown back. The Lady was must have been 5 or 10 , a few years younger then katara atleast.
"So you came back, who did you steal those off?" Zuri and the Lady laughed Bumi smelled fried meat and was staring at them.
"Meet konan the best cook in republic City." Zuri got hit with stick. "OW!" Zuri said Holding her head.
"I told you to stop saying that! You could make this yourself but you're just too lazy to buy meat and vegetables!" Zuri chuckled not wanting to tell her that buying it from her is cheaper then making it herself.
The Lady looked at katara and the Kids. "Will be three seal blubber and One vegeterian?" She said unfazed.
Katara looked suprised but was happy to someone who wasn't treating every step she as holly. "Yes only two seal blubber, bumi likes fried turtle duck." The Lady nodded started the grill. "How do you know zuri?" The woman laughed.
"My names durav, that Girl has been coming her since she was five! The Kids been spending enough for me to open a second stand though that ones being run by my husband." Zuri made a Sound of disgust. "Oh don't be like that! His gotten better."
Zuri deadpanned at "the last time I ate something he made it was so bland I fell asleep!" Durav laughed at. Zuri looked remebering the first time she came here.
"Welcome zuri to the best Roasted meat on sticks stand in republic City!" Lay hit the man with a stick. "Ow that was great advertisement!" zuri chuckled.
the woman spoke up. "Yea, but false advertisement! I hear you say that agian and believe me you're banned for life!" The man rubbed the place he got hit. "Who's that? another stray of the streets?" Zuri smiled at durav. "You're already planning to steal from me aren't you?" Zuri nodded which made the cook laugh. "I like honest eggs like you. Come sit, Davaa you can sit on the Floor for all I care." The man groaned at the comment.
Zuri looked at durav as she gave the roasted meat with a small plate of soy sauce. "So where have you been? You just disapeared for six months zolt said he missed his bending Training." Zuri looked worried "No worries he has a clean Job screaming his head off selling Papiers."
Zuri laughed at that his Little brother always the spoiled one of their little crime Family. Though she knew what he was actually doing which was being messenger boy for a triad she needed to talk with him, because that was her job the eyes and ears around The agni kais turf, snitch to yakone or be a part of his next puppet Show.
