Chapter Twenty Two: I Blame Zuko!
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar. I do own Yoshiro and Ieko.
I couldn't think of a title for this chapter, so I used this title instead. If anyone has a better name for the chapter, let me know!
"Sir! Yoshiro is missing!" A crewman alarmed Iroh that morning.
"What? Where is she?" Iroh said.
"We don't know. We heard screaming last night, and then…there was silence…" he said.
"Now the entire third division is on her tail…" Iroh said.
"Yes. Someone must have sent a pigeon with a message to Fire Lord Ozai and alerted him…" he said.
"But who?" Iroh asked.
"I don't know, sir."
"Ieko, what are we going to do? The night of the full moon is in four days, and we need to get the girl to Arrengos!" Officer Haonoa shouted at his captain.
"Haonoa, don't worry yourself to death. I've got it under control. I sent a pigeon to Fire Lord Ozai last night, and the entire third division of the Fire Nation Army is looking for her. I won't let her get killed though," Ieko vowed.
"And how are you going to do that?"
"I gave him wrong directions."
Ieko smirked.
"I see."
"Wake up! Wake up!" Yoshiro shook Sokka awake. It was morning.
He didn't budge.
"Let me wake him up," Aang walked over to the sleeping Sokka and yelled,
"We've been captured by the Fire Nation!"
Sokka immediately woke up.
"Ha! That was good!" Yoshiro was doubling over with laughter.
"That wasn't funny!" Sokka said.
"It got youawake," Aang said, smiling innocently.
"That's the truth," Yoshiro smiled, while Sokka grumbled.
"So, what were you doing on that Fire Nation ship?" Katara asked her.
Yoshiro bit her lip.
Should I tell them? I barely even know these people. Plus, they would never understand…yet at least I'm not around that obsessive, annoying, thinks-he's-more-mature-than-me Zuko. But now I'm around Mr. Pervert…how do I get myself into these messes?
"Why are you wearing those Fire Nation clothes? You're a spy!" Sokka jumped to the conclusion.
"I am NOT a spy! Just because I was born and raised in the Fire Nation does NOT make me a bad person. Well, I don't think so…" Yoshiro yelled, then thought about what she said.
"Can you earthbend?" Aang said, not realizing Yoshiro was wearing Fire Nation clothes and looked like one.
"That's a dumb question, Aang. Obviously, she's a FIREBENDER!" Sokka said.
"He's right, you know," Katara actually agreed with her brother.
"Ask a dumb question, you get a dumb answer. Of course I can earthbend. I can also firebend, so HA!" Yoshiro smirked, and then thought,
I blew it! I shouldn't have told them I can bend earth AND fire! I'm such an idiot! Zuko's behavior is rubbing off of me. I blame Zuko. Darn you Zuko!
The three of them were stunned.
"What? It's normal!" Yoshiro acted like it was normal. But it wasn't.
"Normal? You're a…hybrid! That's not normal!" Sokka exclaimed.
"You're not so normal yourself, Mr. Pervert," Yoshiro called him his new name.
Aang and Katara snickered.
Sokka dropped his jaw.
"I'm not a pervert!"
"Yeah, you are…groper."
Aang and Katara were laughing so hard, tears were coming out of their eyes.
Sokka gave her an evil eye, and then ignored her.
"He's just jealous that he can't bend. And the fact he's a pervert," Yoshiro said.
"How did you know? I don't remember telling you that…" Katara asked.
How did I know? Oh no! I'm a psychic! Okay, maybe I'm not. It's like…oh!
"I remember you two! You're from the Water Nation, and…oh! I remember…" Yoshiro remembered. This was not like her at all. Even she was freaking herself out.
"Huh?" Sokka and Katara were lost.
"It's a long story. Nevermind," Yoshiro sighed.
"So...why were you on that ship?" Katara asked the question she had asked earlier.
"Another long story."
Yoshiro stopped talking for a while and asked,
"Let me guess, you airbend and you waterbend."
Aang and Katara nodded.
"I'm tired."
"But it's the morning!" Aang said.
"So?"
Yoshiro yawned as she went to sleep.
"I don't like this girl," Sokka said.
"Of course YOU don't. She seems nice, but she's hiding something," Katara said.
"I'm hungry," Sokka said.
"Sokka!"
