Bwahaha! Behold the once in a lifetime event-

One of my characters CRIES!

No, not Zuko, don't worry. Now, reviews. Because of my amazing ability to dump stuff outta my head fast, I only have one.

Red Hawk K'sani ()- haha, thanks. Ah, yeah, I've mentioned before (my profile) I really suck at spelling. Sorry…

Here are some notes, to-

Hikari- means "Light"

Yami- means "darkness"

Junsuisa- means "purity" is the Air Dragon

Demon- that speaks for itself

CHAPTER SEVEN- Golden Eyes, Silver Tears

"Scarface! Scarface!" Tsuyosa called, walking through the thick forest. "Damn, how did he get so far already?" She was now getting worried. She had come across more then a few unfriendly creatures, some actually hurting her.

"I don't like the looks of this…" she entered a clearing covered in bones. Most were animals; big cats and lizards, but there were also a few human remains.

"I think I've seen this before…"

"Tsuyosa! Tsuyosa, we aren't allowed over there!" Yugasa yelled after the fire dragon.

"Says who? Did you forget we're Gods?" Tsuyosa grinned over a huge fallen tree.

"Lady Hikari and Lord Yami both said never to go to the lands to the east! Chikara and Junsuisa agree!" the brunette informed worriedly. The golden-eyed girl just stuck her tongue out and kept walking.

"If we listened to everything those old fogies said, we would never leave to help the Avatar!" She laughed, hearing the water dragon following.

"But-"

"Besides, I came from the east, right? Can't I see my homeland?"

"But Tsuyosa, I've heard nothing but evil-" the water girl stopped at her friends glare.

"I know, Yugasa, but I have to see for myself. I've seen the way the Lord and Lady look at me; like I'm filth. I want to know what made the Fire Dragon so bad."

After a few minutes of silent walking, the two came across a strangely dense part of forest.

"We should turn back…"

"Why? Like I always say: if you can't go straight-" taking a huge leap, Tsuyosa landed on the lowest branch of a huge tree, "go over!" As soon as she landed, though, the Fire Dragon saw a gruesome sight.

Bodies, some skeletal, some fresh, littered the ground just beyond the wall of trees. Eyes wide, she heard a roar from across the dead land.

"Tsuyosa? Tsuyosa, what's wrong?" Yugasa called from below, but the fire dragon didn't hear. She was staring back a huge cat-like beast. It had huge fangs and red eyes, its coat black as night and strange wing-like scales protruding from its back.

Quickly, Tsuyosa jumped down.

"Tsuyosa?" Yugasa asked again, but was once again ignored.

"C'mon, I don't feel like going to the east." The fire girl huffed, walking back. Confused, the water dragon followed.

'Those eyes…What the hell is a demon doing here? What is going on in the east?'

"No, it can't be…" quickly, Tsuyosa ran through the clearing. It couldn't be a demon! The four Dragons were the only magical beings that could come to the human world. Anything else would either be sent back or killed.

'Zuko, please be okay!'

"Damn girl!" Zuko cursed. He had found a good clearing in the forest and decided to set up camp there. When he was walking, he noticed the creatures got smaller the further in he got, so this should've been the safest place. Roughly, he started a fire and sat, not hungry anymore.

"Damn, stupid, dragon!" he couldn't help it, that dragon was stuck in his head. At first he thought it was his damn hormones, but this felt different then a crush or that love crap. It kinda felt like… When his mom used to tell him she loved him.

"DAMN IT!" he yelled. And now his mind was pushing stupid thoughts to the surface.

"Oh, just kill me now…" suddenly, he heard a growl from behind him. Jumping to his feet, he turned to look up at a huge cat. It blended into the sky and had strange, scale wings. What surprised Zuko the most, though, were its eyes.

The prince had never heard of a creature with red eyes.

Without warning, the cat swiped at the teen, missing by inches.

"Shit!" he hissed. Igniting his fist, he braced himself for another attack. Without fail, the beast got back on its hind legs, and crashed down with tremendous force. Keeping his balance, the teen rushed forward and shot at its feet. Pathetic, but the thing was just below the trees.

And they were BIG trees.

The cat hissed in pain and somehow glared at the prince. Again, Zuko prepared for the attack.

But not for flight.

Wind swirled around the prince as the beast took off, heading east, as far as Zuko could tell.

"Zuko? Zuko!" he turned to see Tsuyosa standing at the edge of the clearing. She looked out of breath and relieved.

"What?" he asked, stubbornly acting mad, even though he had forgotten the argument. Running forward, the dragon couldn't help but hug the prince.

"I-I thought the demon- Scarface, you idiot!" she managed through tears.

Zuko was more then startled. Why was she crying? Nothing happened, and she was only helping him to fulfill her duty. He also noticed two things: one, she was, like, three inches shorter then him. And two,

"Demon?" she looked up at him, still crying.

"That's how I found you. I saw it fly off…"

"Yeah, after I attacked it, it flew off. You mean THAT was a demo-" He was cut off as Tsuyosa punched him in the side of the head.

"YOU IDIOT! YOU ATTACKED IT? DO YOU KNOW WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED! I WAS WORRIED SICK AND YOU GO OUT FIGHTING SOMETHING THAT COULD'VE KILLED YOU!" Even though she was yelling and beating him over the head, Zuko couldn't help but smile at the facts.

She was worried about him.
