Chapter Four: Bad Just Got Worse
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar! I do own General Xokku and Yoshiro
Wow. this story is moving faster than I thought it would be. Maybe I should take a break... I should give you a heads up. There is going to be one TINY little cuss word. Besides that, enjoy reading Chapter Four of Earth And Fire!
"So Prince Zuko is on Koakao," General Xokku said.
"Good work, Yoshiro," Commander Zhao complimented Yoshiro.
"I'll show you where he is," Yoshiro lead the way.
Yoshiro got up ahead, and General Xokku followed behind her. He was keeping up with her, and then, something caught his eye. Dirt and pebbles were following his daughter.
Oh no, Xokku thought, it's happening.
"Shhh," Yoshiro told her father and Commander Zhao.
She noticed Prince Zuko still in the same place, looking for the Avatar. He was going left now.
"Now," Yoshiro felt a huge amount of guilt. But she did not know why.
"Prince Zuko!" General Xokku and Commander Zhao ambushed him.
"What are you two doing here?" Zuko growled at both of them.
"Capturing you. Thanks to General Xokku's daughter, only us two will be able to obtain the Avatar," Commander Zhao explained.
"You can't do that! I need to capture the Avatar" Zuko shot out some flames, but General Xokku blocked them.
"You're coming with us, Prince Zuko," General Xokku said.
Yoshiro was hiding among the bushes. She saw her father and Commander Zhao detain Prince Zuko back to shore.
"Yoshiro, listen to me. Prince Zuko is on our ship. We are taking him back to the Fire Nation," Commander Zhao explained to Yoshiro like she was a four year old.
"I'm not stupid, you know," Yoshiro said, a little angry.
"Don't use that tone of voice with me!" Zhao scolded Yoshiro.
"Sorry, sir," Yoshiro apologized.
Zhao left the front deck, and headed for his quarters.
"Uh, Father?" Yoshiro asked Xokku.
"Yes, Yoshiro?"
"Why isn't Prince Zuko chained up or something? And when will we reach to the Fire Nation?" Yoshiro pointed to Zuko walking freely around the deck.
"He's enjoying as much freedom as he can. Because once we get back to the Fire Nation, he won't be outside for a while. And since we are near the South Pole, it will take about…hmm…a month? "
Oh god, help me, Yoshiro thought.
As Yoshiro left Xokku, he wondered,
Should I tell her?
"Why did I do that? I…agh!" Yoshiro stomped around in her room. She was upset about her part in capturing Zuko. She felt guilt, and yet she didn't know why. It was annoying her.
"Why didn't I keep my big mouth shut! Why do I- Ack!" Yoshiro tripped over a pebble.
"I'm such a klutz!" Yoshiro got up from the floor, and straightened her dress. She looked on the floor.
"Weird. Nothing is on the floor," Yoshiro checked the space around her. Then she looked behind her.
"Oh shit! This is NOT happening to me!"
S.E.: Aaaaaaaah! Yoshiro used a bad word
Chi: Not like you haven't
Natasha: So true
S.E.: Stop making fun of me!
