Severe Sibling Rivalry

Appa flew down in a field by the port of Half Shadow Island. Leiya sighed and jumped off Appa, Sakura perched on her shoulder.

"I'm going to go check out the market here. I rarely go to this island. It's well, shady. Watch yourselves."

"I'll come too. I want to see if any of the shops have anything on waterbending." Katara said.

Leiya smiled. From what Sokka had said, Katara was trying very hard to learn waterbending. Leiya was lucky she knew a lot about lightbending. Her father was a firebender, and her aunt an instructor of martial arts. She was able to learn basic moves from them.

"Well, I'll come too and look at their boomerang collections." Sokka said.

"I'll go and look for waterbending stuff with Katara." Aang said.

Leiya saw right through Aang's words. He would probably go with Katara, waterbending or not. Once they got to the market place, they agreed to meet up in the center square in about one hour. Leiya strolled down the streets, peeking at scrolls and books, and eyeing majestic curiosities. After about one half hour, she heard a commotion coming from the center square. She trotted quickly through the streets to find the firenation ship.

'Oh no…' she thought. She took refuge in an ally adjacent to a large fountain in the center square. Aang, Sokka and Kartara saw the ship and the people who disembarked. Apparently they had just met up. They tried to dash into an ally parallel to Leiya's hiding spot. However, the shadows of each ally seemed to form walls of darkness that they could not run into. Sokka tried to throw his boomerang into the ally but it simply bounced off the solid wall. Leiya, knowing full well how to break the walls, decided to lay low. She knew Jasmine would not react well to seeing her sister with the Avatar.

"Well, well, well. Looky here." Jasmine said coldly. "Looks like I've done the job that a firebender couldn't accomplish."

Zuko growled a bit under his breath, sensing the jab at his power. He was nearing the end of his rope with this girl.

Jasmine stood with her left foot forward, in a traditional bending stance. She threw a series of shadow disks at the Avatar and his friends. Instead of cutting or burning, they meld around their wrists. With a wave of her hand the group's wrists seemed to be conjoined with the shadows on the side of the dry fountain. The fountain had stautes all eroded away, anfd no water fell from the dry marble stone.

Aang tried to airbend out, but the shadows would not wield. Sokka thrashed against his bonds, but they did not break. Katara remained still, but shot a death glare at Jasmine. Zuko was amazed how easy it had been, but of course, showed no emotion.

Jasmine giggled at the warriors' responses.

"Silly Avatar, there is no way you can escape. There is only one shadowbender in the world, and that's me. So, goodbye Avatar."

She examined her work, but the sound of shattering glass caught her attention. Leiya had kicked the wall with a combination of sparks. She was secretly hoping that her sister would come to her senses and stop attacking the Avatar. She knew she housed false hopes.

Leiya ran and stood in front of her friends, sparks running up and down her body. Her hands were covered in sparks that jumped from fingertip to fingertip.

"Stop it, Jasmine! You let them go. They weren't doing anything to you!" Here yes shot to who Jasmine was with.

"No, no…why did your join the firenation, Jas? What could have possibly given you that idea?"

"Because I'm a shadow bender and I'm sick of living in your shadow! Plus, I decided to join the wining team." Jasmine collected shadows in her palms. They flowed like oil, revolving around her hands.

"Jas don't…" Leiya said. She knew this would not end well.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Jas yelled. With that there fight erupted.

It was now that Zuko stepped in. He cared less about the fight. He only cared whether or not he captured the Avatar.

"Do not get distracted. Let's go." He had decided to be a touch more respectful.

Jas was not eager for a face off. Her powers' strength was limited. She had almost reached her limits, especially from her victims' struggling.

Leiya seized the opportunity and whipped sparks out at her friends' bonds. She then set off a mighty flare, illuminating the area. Jasmine temporarily lost any control she had on the shadows.

She would have nearly nothing to bend. She would have to create her own shadows, and she had spent most of her strength.

"Go to Appa!" Leiya yelled. She neared her sister, preparing for an attack.

"No way! We're staying here with our friend!" Katara said. Aang and Sokka both agreed. Leiya knew they were making a huge mistake, but this was no time to argue.

Leiya quickly whipped out lightning. Much like a constant water whip, her whip consisted of lightning. Jas was just able to dodge the whip. Again Zuko tried to intervene, but Aang had already attacked him, in defense of his pre-occupied friend.

Leiya didn't want to hurt the last of her family. 'Aang, Sokka and Katara are my family now.' She thought, and pressed on.

Aang, Sokka and Katara were outnumbered. It was a miracle that they were still fighting. Katara sensed water in the clogged pipes. She pushed and pulled the water to break free and fill the fountain. She now had more possibilities.

Leiya, inhaling, moved her hands above her head, and focused her energy on her hands. Sizzling noises pierced the air of battles Leiya exhaled and lashed out a bolt of lightning that hit Jas squarely in the chest. It wasn't a high voltage. She was just out for a few seconds. Leiya breathed deeply, felling static electricity in the air.

"Aang, let's go!" Leiya sprinted with her friends toward Appa, who arrived at the perfect time.

"NO!" Zuko cried. This was that stupid lightbender's fault. Aang and Katara exchanged glances, and guided the water from the fountain on to the firebenders below.

Thick steam rose from the doused firebenders.

"Who was that?" Leiya inquired.

"Who was what?" Sokka asked.

"The firebender with the scar?"

Katara and the others exchanged glances. Katara sighed.

"That's Prince Zuko, prince of the Firenation."

"Oh." Leiya said. She felt horrible. 'He only wants to go home…' she thought. She then shook her head. She couldn't think of things like that.

"So Aang, where are we headed next?" Sokka asked.

"I dunno. We'll figure it out eventually." Aang replied.

"I'm worried about Jasmine." Leiya said after a while.

"Me too." Sokka said.

Leiya simply rolled her eyes. The firenation was on their trail. The Firenation killed innocent people; they perpetuated a war of the world.

Now her sister fought alongside them, just to prove herself. The problem was she had nothing to prove. In addition, Jasmine wanted power. Leiya deep down knew that Jasmine and herself could never coexist.

Now Leiya knew her place. And it was no longer within the confines of the Firenation's ever expanding boarders.

"Hey, guys, why didn't you go back to Appa?"

"You're part of our family now." Aang said.

"Yeah, Leiya, you're our friend. We won't leave you to fight firebenders alone." Katara added.

"I got to agree with them." Sokka said.

"Thanks, guys." Leiya said with a smile. But she knew inside that the trouble had just begun. Storm clouds were gathering at the horizon.

Thanks for reading! This one kind of sucked…anyway, please review! .
