Chapter Six: Shock
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar.I do own Yoshiro and General Xokku
"Yoshiro…how can I put it that you won't go crazy…" Xokku said.
"I don't go crazy. Much," Yoshiro said, looking around her.
"Yoshiro. You can earthbend. Don't tell anyone," Xokku gulped, knowing the consequences.
"That explains a lot…well…not really…" Yoshiro was taking it calmly.
Weird. I've known her for fifteen years, she'd freak out or go crazy. Well, at least no one else knows, Xokku felt relieved.
"So I'm a fire- earth bender?" Yoshiro was still getting over the fact.
"Yes. But just keep it between you and me, okay?" Xokku smiled at his daughter.
"I get it. People would try to kill me, right?" Yoshiro said.
Not really, they would try to kill me for raising you as my own, Xokku thought.
"Uh, sure."
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Yoshiro asked him.
"I think you learned enough for tonight. Go to bed, okay?" Xokku said goodnight to Yoshiro and went out the door.
"Well, well, well, look what we have here. A traitor," Commander Zhao looked at General Xokku when he left Yoshiro's room.
"I can explain!" General Xokku said.
"Yes, you'll explain to the Fire Lord why you kept the girl! General Xokku, defying the orders of Lord Ozai!" Commander Zhao schemed.
"Please, don't hurt my daughter! Don't tell her I killed her parents. I'll do anything!" General Xokku usually wasn't the begging kind of man, but he didn't want Yoshiro to find out he killed her real parents.
"Hm, I don't know, should I take orders from someone lower of rank?" Commander Zhao mischievously smiled.
"Just, don't hurt my daughter," General Xokku sighed.
"I'll make you a deal. If you give ALL the credit to me of capturing Prince Zuko, I won't say a word," Zhao made a deal.
"ALL of the credit! Without my daughter, you would still be looking!" Xokku shot back.
"Do you want me to tell your daughter?" Zhao said.
"….No."
"Good that we could see it my way," Zhao left Xokku there, and headed for the deck to steer the ship.
I knew something like this would happen, Xokku sighed.
Great. I'm an Earthbender AND a Firebender. What an odd mix. But why? Did I inherit them? If anyone finds out, I would be dead meat. I'll just play it cool…
Yoshiro was busy in her thoughts, she wasn't freaking out.
Let's look at the advantages. I could be able to shoot fire AND earth. That's good. Um…that's about it, really.
Yoshiro couldn't go to sleep. It kept on bothering her. That, and the guilt increasing inside of her.
"Yoshiro, Commander Zhao and I will be stopping at Trinikia to get some more supplies. You stay on the ship, okay?" Xokku told his daughter.
"Yes, father."
It was morning, and nothing had changed. Zuko still didn't eat, Yoshiro was still bugged about being a dual bender and the thought of being alone on a ship kind of freaked her out.
"We won't be back until sunset, okay?" Xokku and Zhao stepped off the ship and headed for the small town of Trinikia.
"I hate being alone!" Yoshiro said to herself.
Yoshiro headed down the stairs to get an orange. To her surprise, Zuko was there.
"What are you doing down here?" Zuko said, angrily. Yoshiro knew why he was angry. It was obvious.
