Kushai

The door slid slowly open, Kushai ran at the door. With all her strength she did a breathtaking side kick. The kick could easily knock someone out.

But soon she found herself laying flat on the floor.

"I may be a bit old and out of shape, but it doesn't mean I have lost my talents from being a general of the fire nation," there in front of her was Uncle Iroh (surprise surprise).

He stared down at Kushai, her expression was stunning, and no words could describe that face!

"You did have good form though, but you may want to train on a better attack," he laughed, but his laugh was kind.

"Hmph…your ship just has to be made out of metal doesn't it," she grumbled as she rubbed her "bottom".

"Oh, this isn't my ship, it is my nephew's. I believe you have already met him," Uncle Iroh smiled.

"Your nephew, and may I ask for what his name is?" She was unprepared for the answer she got.

"Haha, he must have knocked you out pretty fast. Prince Zuko is my nephew, please excuse his manners of hurting you but-" Prince Zuko walked in, the first thing he sees is Kushai on the floor.

"I see you've challenged my Uncle ," Prince Zuko snickered.

They both turned to see the source of the noise.

"Yeah, haha, so funny……I see some resemblance about you two," Kushai got up on her legs, they weren't too sturdy.

"Oh really? Not many people do," Uncle Iroh questioned curiously.

"Well, you both like to make fun of me," she pointed out.

"Oh….sorry," Uncle Iroh apologized politely, while the prince just rolled his eyes,

"I'll leave and let you drill the prisoner here," Uncle Iroh chuckled as he left.

"So, what do you want?" She stuck her nose up high.

"I asked you before, but you wouldn't answer. I will ask again for you to tell me where the Avatar is," Prince Zuko said as a flame formed in his hand.

"How do you expect me to know?" She tilted her head.

"You had the boomerang, the one that belonged to a companion of the Avatar. Now, stop playing stupid and answer my question!" He growled.

Realization struck her and she froze for a couple of seconds. But it was long enough for Prince Zuko to shoot a furious flame at her.

"AH!" She jumped out of the way, searching desperately for her element to defend with.

"I…." She took several breaths until she continued what she wanted to say, "I don't know anything the Avatar, I found the boomerang in a river while I was fishing. All I know is he has obviously returned."

The Prince stopped shooting flames and made a face. "If you are lying, I swear you won't be on this ship for very-"

"I AM NOT LYING!" She ran up to him, realizing how close she was, she took several steps back.

Prince Zuko sighed as his head was spinning. If she wasn't lying, then what should he do?

"Now, could you please let me off this ship?" She snapped.

"No, it would delay me in capturing the Avatar," Prince Zuko concluded and was on his way out when somebody splashed water at him.

He turned around with a death glare. Kushai had found water in a corner and had splashed it at him. He was about to shoot a fire, but regained control of his temper.

"Look, you got me into this mess, so it's your job to get me out of it. AND I'm dying from hunger!" Kushai exclaimed.

"Urgh, you are a greater nuisance than my Uncle," the firebender slapped a hand in his face.

"Well there's no one to blame but yourself," she snickered. "Now, about that food?" She questioned as her stomach growled loudly.

Before she had a time to say anything he had grabbed her wrist, holding it tightly so she wouldn't escape. He pulled her out the door and up to a room where his Uncle was sitting with a cup of tea.

Uncle Iroh looked up and smiled, "Are you hungry miss?"

"No, not really, I've just been without food for 6 hours," She joked.

"7 actually, we're eating fish today, not that we eat much else. Just thought you'd want to know," the man took a sip of his tea.

"Would you like some tea?"

"Sure, why not," She sat down by the man once Prince Zuko let go.

"Prince Zuko, come join," his Uncle had that look that said, PLEASE GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE!

"….fine…." the boy sat down as far away from the girl he could, which Kushai was more than happy about.

"So, what kind of bender are you? According to the looks of my nephew right now, I'm assuming you're a waterbender?" Uncle Iroh interrupted the silence.

Prince Zuko grimaced as he tried to dry off the water on his armor using a small flame.

"Yes, I am a waterbender," she blushed as she looked over to the grimacing Prince.

"That girl splashed water on me!" Prince Zuko spat.

"Well if you hadn't dragged me onto the ship maybe you wouldn't look so pathetic right now!" She yelled back.

"Well, I would've burned you by now if it wasn't for my Uncle!" Prince Zuko leaned over the table as he shouted.

"Are you saying you're scarred of your Uncle?" She teased, yeah, that was meaner than she was aiming for. Scared, scarred, haha…..wait..not funny ….

A flame was aiming right at her now, if it hadn't been for Uncle Iroh, she would most likely be dead. He quickly gathered thefire and put it out in a glass of water.

"Prince Zuko, temper," Uncle Iroh said calmly.

"Please try not to bring up his scar," Uncle Iroh whispered to Kushai who nodded.

"….sorry…." Kushai apologized as she looked at a random object far away from Prince Zuko.

Prince Zuko was stunned. Had she apologized!

"Yeah, whatever…." Prince Zuko shook his head mentally.
