Author's Notes: I will love you guys forever if you read and reviewed my new story, The Fire Within. It's about Zuko, of course, and he will go along the storyline. Please read!
Anyways, this chapter is about Kyoshi Island, duh. Usually, I would write something serious. I'm not used to humorous stories. But I can pull something off, right? Uh huh! But I will tell you guys this: the whole story will not be humorous. We want romance too, right? And that is my specialty by far. So I will keep some humor in here, but the story will mainly be adventurous and romantic.
You guys don't hate me right? . …T.T
As of now, Aang is older than Katara. Well… maybe anyway …Is that okay? I hope so!
Sokka: Well, Suki!
I leaned back on Appa. I hoped with all of my heart that he didn't have any fleas in his fur. Shivers
We arrived at this island with… "things…" swimming in the water. They looked kind of dangerous is you ask me. Of course, Aang just loves things that are potentially dangerous and life-threatening… This is how we arrived. Pretty much… anyways…
Giant Koi.
Aang: Hey Katara! What are you doing?
Katara: Sokka ripped his pants. I'm sewing them up.
Aang: How'd that happen?
Katara: Doesn't matter. Need to sew.
Aang: Wanna see a trick?
Sokka: I don't think she wants to see anything right now.
Aang: Why not? Is she grumpy?
Katara: I'm not grumpy. Just Busy.
Aang: Oh… Look Sokka! Floating marbles!
Sokka: I've seen it already.
Aang: You guys really suck…
Sokka: What?
Aang: (snickering) Never mind…
Soon we came to the ocean where there were giant Koi swimming around in it. Man, I HATE this stuff. You guys shouldn't even be talking to me about that stuff right now.
I do not want to recap on that ordeal…
( What? I have to? (I mutter to him) In the contract? (Mutters about fine print) Darn… so if I tell the story about the girls, and the fish… so I go with her in this story…? Okay… Man, you are so mean!)
Aang: Watch me! I'm going to ride the Koi!
Sokka: Hey! Katara! He's gonna commit suicide! Come see!
Katara: Aang, now you know that's dangerous, as fun as it looks. I don't want you to kill anything, including yourself…! Actually, he's looking good out there…
Katara: Begininning of Sokka and Her
(Katara's Notes: Sokka uses a different format than me. Wonder why?)
I watched Aang as he swam along with the giant Koi. I smiled inside, but outside, I was fuming! What in the world was he trying to get himself into! Aang was driving me crazy with his dangerous little games.
I watched Aang as he ran rapidly across the water. He ran smack into Sokka. There was some giant creature or something following him.
"Goodness gracious! Aang what is that thing?" I asked.
"I dunno!" he exclaimed, trying to catch his breath.
"I think we should bail, I mean… we shouldn't have stopped anyways…So let's hit the road…" Sokka warned.
Blindfolded. That's what we were. We were also tied to a beautiful statue of a woman. She looked like the young ladies whom were standing in front of us.
"Or we could stay awhile…" Sokka muttered sarcastically, now tied up. We looked at the group of girls who made Sokka feel a little kind of… inferior.
"What are you misfits doing here?" asked an old guy. I glanced at Aang.
"We came here to ride the Elephant Koi. I'm sorry…" he smiled faintly.
"Lies! I believe we should throw this little brat to the Unagi. How would you like that?" said a tough looking girl. Sokka eyed her suspiciously.
"As fun as that sounds… I really did want to ride the Koi." Aang looked from person to person. Even if about six of them looked exactly alike.
"You're probably a spy from the Fire Nation! Kyoshi has not had a battle that is part of the war yet!" replied the old man.
"Kyoshi?" asked Aang, "I know her!"
"How can you know her? She was the Avatar!"
"I'm the Avatar. That's why."
"You are not the Avatar! How can you be?" the girl who tied us up asked. She had on green robes with white makeup. Her eyelids were shadowed with a bright crimson eye shadow. She folded her arms. The girls behind her, with identical uniforms on, followed suit.
They pulled fans out, whose edges were of steel. The girls walked forward, ready to strike us.
Aang didn't explain. Instead, he used his Airbending to fly into the air, cutting the ropes on the statue
The girl backed away from Aang. She covered her mouth.
"You are! You're the Avatar!"
Later that day, Aang and I were talking. He'd shown off in front of those girls, and a few others when the village discovered the Avatar was on their island.
I myself, wasn't too keen on the idea of staying somewhere for too long. It would be a matter of time before Prince Zuko discovered our location.
We were sitting in a small house that had been set up for our accommodation. There was benefit in Aang's fame after all.
We were tasting very sweet buns when I decided to talk to Aang while his sweet tooth was in action.
"Now Aang. I don't want this newfound publicity going to your bald little head. Okay?" I warned. Of course, he said what would eventually not come true.
"Sure Katara. I'm just a simple monk. I won't let it go to my head."
We heard commotion outside the window. A crowd of people had formed out there. Aang's little mouth went from ear to ear. A simple monk? Or a simple pimp? (lol)
Nah… let's not get carried away…
Aang was gone for that day. I decided to look about the town. I placed my hands in my pocket, walking through the village, taking in the sights. My fingers played around with an object in my pocket. That pendant I'd found.
I pulled it out. I looked at it closely. My eyes searched all around it. There were several symbols on it. I figured that they were ancient Fire Nation characters. There were four.
I frowned. Whose pendant was it? I had to be a girl's accessory, because of the flowery flames engraved into it. but who could have lost it?
I knew that the Fire Nation had invaded the Southern Air Temple, but could a woman warrior have gone with them?
Ah! Who cared anyway? The Firebenders were all bad anyways…
"Ouch! What's your problem you little…oh…"
I bumped into a girl while I was walking. We both had toppled over onto the ground. The pendant slipped from my hands. The girl looked at me and apologized for talking so rudely.
"Sorry! I didn't know it was you. I'm Tsukiko. Everyone calls me Suki though. You must be Katara."
I glanced at her, and immediately recognized her. It was that girl who'd tied us up. She looked a little odd without her makeup and garbs on. Her face looked… plain! n.n
"Oh… yes, I'm Katara. Nice to meet you Suki! You did a fine job of schooling my older brother, Sokka."
Suki rolled her eyes. "Boys think they're so tough. Sometimes, it takes a girl to put them in their place," Suki stated, making a small muscle with her arm. I laughed. Suki smiled at me.
I was about to bid her farewell, when Suki looked at the ground. She bent to pick up the pendant.
"Hey… that new girl has one of these designs on her arm…" Suki muttered. I glanced at her.
"What new girl?" I asked.
Suki shook her head. "I don't trust her, but she's nice enough. I think that she's a Firebender, but no one on the island seems to care anymore, after Unagi let her ride it without conflict,"
I reached for the ornament. Suki handed it to me. "She stays in one of the huts we rent out to people. If you want to see her…"
"Yeah?" I coaxed her on. Suki shrugged.
"Well, it's that one right there. She stays there, with her Flying Vulpine. It's a beautiful thing, really…" Suki trailed off, pointing to a house identical to all the others. I thanked her, and she sprinted off to the local temple.
I went up to the hut, my hands clutching the ornament. Why was I seeking her out anyways?
My fists knocked on the door. I heard the loud sound echo through the tiny dwelling. Rapid steps could be heard at the door. It swung open with a whoosh.
I was standing in front of an older girl of about fifteen or more. Her skin was deep tan, with braids tied back in a ponytail. Her eyes were almond-shaped, with high lashes. Characteristics of a Firebender. She was standing in a way that reminded me of … ninjas.
She looked at me.
"Hello there! May I help you?" she asked. Her voice was sure and proud. You know the type. But I sensed shyness there as well.
"Hello. I'm Katara. I'm with the Avatar."
The girl smiled. "Yes. And I'm Sun Sana. Nice to meet you. This is the last Flying Vulpine, Pyresake," Sun Sana replied.
I glanced down to see a beautiful fox with several tails. It was a glorious silver fox with sharp, SHARP! eyes that were wise. It was so big! Almost to Sun Sana's waist.
"Hello… Katara…" the vulpine muttered dreamily in a woodwind voice. "It" was a guy! He talked! Pyresake was extremely soft-spoken.
(A/N: If you are familiar with Akito from Fruits Basket, or Yuki, that's what I was going for. If you aren't familiar with them, chances are you are with Kurama or someone else from Yuu Yuu Hakusho. You'll be able to imagine their voices either way. If you want them to have your own voices, knock yourself out! n.n)
"Oh! Hello!" I exclaimed, stunned. Pyresake (pronounced pie-er-sah-key) smiled at me, his eyes cunning and sharp. His fur was platinum. I felt like touching it.
"Pyre, why not give her everything?" Sun Sana asked.
"Why not? She looks nice enough," he answered, his chin jutted in the air. I felt unbelievable grace emanating from him.
Speaking of emanating, a light began to emanate from Pyre. Lights engulfed him. You can pretty much imagine the scene.
Soon, I could see the shadow of a tall male figure in the light. My cheeks burned just looking at him!
The light vanished, and I was standing in front of a beautiful young-looking man. His hair was pure white, and flowing. It reached the ground, and trailed behind him.
Contrary to his fur, Pyresake was a deep tan, like Sun Sana, but darker. He seemed to be fixing his sleeves. If you can imagine, he wore loose, flowing clothes.
After he finished with his sleeve, his attention was directed toward me. He smiled.
"And this is everything. Like what you see?" Pyre asked. He began to braid his hair. I just shuddered. Was it possible to be that beautiful? Obviously…
It was a bit of a shock to meet Pyresake. He was outgoing, and I loved him already! Not that kind of love. The kind you get from having an older brother. Oh… I have one already… well…
I didn't discuss too much with her after meeting Pyresake. She had to "go off" somewhere. She left so suddenly, that I was left on the porch.
Pyresake... a flying vulpine... was he a human? Or a fox? Or both? From the fire nation? Was he like Appa?
I went back to the house, and then I was greeted by a woman name Kisan. She gave me a vase to fill with food for our journey.
I didn't thing too much about Pyre anymore. Until the next day, that is, when the Fire Nation invaded. He gave them a butt wupin!
Who likes Pyresake yet? Do you girls like him? Huh? I do. He's cute... well, what I think he looks like anyhow. XD
Heh. Don't worry boys, I have Sun Sana all worked out for you, I think... well, give me some pointers guys. I don't really know what you guys like... except girls in bikinis...
The next chapter is actually part two. I couldn't help putting this up NOW! I have been so busy with stuff. I'm sorry. Next Chapter is part two. I'll try to get it up by Friday, as well as a chapter for that episode Friday… ifin it happens to be new, that is.
