Thanks for your reviews.
I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender
Chapter 5...
Krishna stayed put and looked at her brother for a few seconds.
'I hope neither of them get hurt.' she thought as she walked over to Iroh.
"Are you sure you want your brother to fight him, Krishna." Iroh said to her as she came closer.
"It doesn't matter, he's so stubburn, he would never listen if I told him not to."
Dakarai walked to his place, and prepared to fight, getting in the exact stance Zuko was in.
Zuko attacked first, he blasted a big ball of fire at Dakarai. Dakarai dodged, and sent a stream of fire towards Zuko, missing badly.
"What the? He's right there, how did I miss?" Dakarai said not beliving how bad he was doing.
While he was preoccupied, Zuko fired at him agian, this time he couldn't dodge in time.
"Ahhhh!" Dakarai shouted grabbing his burnt arm, but his sleeve wasn't burned.
Dakarai shot another blast at Zuko, this one hit him, but didn't do much.
Iroh noticed that when Dakarai's arm was hit, his clothes didn't catch fire.
"That's odd, fire-proof material?"
"Good old Mom. She got sick of all of his clothes catching fire and being ruined, when he first learned firebending. So she started making all of his clothes out of fire-proof cloth. It's a good thing too, we would be in trouble if his shirt burned away." Krishna said.
Zuko stopped attacking Dakarai for a moment.
"God you stink, you're the worst firebender I've ever fought, the cook could do better."
"It's not like I have anyone to teach me!" Dakarai yelled as he shot the biggest blast of fire he could handle.
Zuko got hit in the side, and almost yelled, but then started fireing at Dakarai agian.
"He taught himself? If that is true, he did a pretty good job." Iroh said hearing all of their conversation.
"He only sees his dad once a year, and when he does his dad is to busy to teach his son firebending, the one time he did try to teach Dakarai something, he was so impatient, that Dakarai didn't learn anything."
"Why doesn't he get someone else to teach him?" Iroh asked.
"The only person willing to was his uncle, and he died when Dakarai was 5."
"You said that Dakarai was a desendant of Prince Zuko, tell me, is Dakarai his son?"
Krishna thought for a while, finally she decided that she trusted Iroh, and she told him he was right.
"I thought so, they are alike in very many ways. It will be interesting to see who will win this battle."
Dakarai and Zuko had been fighting for a while, and were both getting tired, but neither one was about to give up.
'I knew this was going to be a challenge, but I'm really starting to get tired.' Dakarai thought as he dodged a stream of fire.
Then he thought of something that would help him do better.
He needed to get Zuko distracted and off guard.
He started shooting shooting at Zuko's feet making him busy with trying to not get his feet burned, or trying to ignore the pain in his feet when they did get hit. Then he shot at Zuko's chest, knocking him backwards.
Even though Zuko hated it, he was really worn out, and didn't get up after his back hit the floor.
'Yes! I finally beat my father!...sorta.' Dakarai thought walking over to where Zuko was.
"Thanks for fighting with me, it was an honor, and I haven't sparred with anyone since my 5th birthday." Dakarai said reaching down his hand for Zuko to help pull him up.
Zuko got up by himself, and instead of talking to Dakarai, he just left.
Dakarai walked over to Krishna.
"Good job, Brother!" Krishna shouted running to him and hugging him.
"Krishna let me go that hurts." Dakarai said.
Krishna let go as soon as he said that and looked at him with worried eyes.
"I'll be fine, let's go for a walk." Dakarai said grabbing her hand and leading her to the the other side of the ship.
They were soon away from everyone else, and Dakarai started looking at his burns. One arm was pretty badly burned, and his chest and stomach were burned also, but that was all.
"That looks like it hurts, " Krishna said pointing to the burn on his arm.
"Nah, I'll be fine." Dakarai said smiling down at his sister.
"So, what did you learn?" Krishna asked him.
'She's starting to talk like Avatar Aang, he's always telling us there is something to learn from everything.'
"I actually learned alot, I've learned more in the last 10 minutes than Dad has taught me in my entire lifetime." Dakarai said sitting down on the deck.
"It's so weird how he acts now. I like him better in our time, he's nicer." Krishna said also sitting down.
"You better watch your mouth, Krishna, you never know who will be listening to you." Iroh said from behind them.
They both spun around and looked at him.
"How long have you been back there, Uncle?" Krishna asked standing up.
"Not very long, but you two need to be very careful while you are on my nephew's ship."
"Yes, Sir." Dakarai and Krishna said walking away.
Dakarai looked around, and noticed nobody was out on deck.
"Where is everybody?" quietly to himself.
"It's suppertime, they're probably eating." Krishna answered.
"I miss my glider," Dakarai said after a few minutes of them walking around.
"I do too, and I'm sick of wearing these gloves all the time."
"Keep them on anyway, all the time, there is alot of secrets hiding behind those gloves and clothes, Krishna."
"I know, I won't take them off." Krishna said kindof sad.
Dakarai yawned, which caused Krishna to yawn also.
"I have a room inside, I haven't slept in it yet, but I'm pretty sure that there is two beds in it." Krishna said grabbing Dakarai's hand and leading him inside.
"You have been sleeping outside this whole time!" Dakarai said staring at his little sister.
"Yes."
"Do you know what Mom would do if you got sick while we were away, and she found out about it!" Dakarai said quietly as they entered the corridor his sister's room was in.
Krishna just smiled at him. As they walked down the hallway, Dakarai saw that one of the doors was cracked open. He glanced in as they passed it, and saw Zuko meditating. Then Krishna stopped at the next door, and opened it up. She walked in with Dakarai right behind her.
"Your room is right next to Lord Zuko's." Dakarai said after he shut the door behind him.
"Why do you call him Lord Zuko, he's your dad" Krishna asked sitting down on her bed.
"I call Avatar Aang Dad," Dakarai said sitting down on the other bed.
"Not to his face." Krishna answered.
"I don't call him Dad to his face, because it would be dishonorable, but I don't call Lord Zuko Dad because he is the ruler of the firenation, and I'm just some kid that's in his castle once a year, just because he is my father, doesn't mean that he's my dad."
"I just commented, I didn't expect your life story." Krishna said while using airbending to blow Dakarai back, not expecting him to fall off the bed.
"Just for that, I'm going after you when you least expect it." Dakarai said not getting up, but just staring up at the ceiling.
"Goodnight, Brother," Krishna said turning her back towards the wall and falling asleep right after.
Dakarai wasn't sleepy for some reason, and he walked out into the hall.
'I wonder if Katara, Aang, and Sokka will ever show up?' Dakarai thought as he started down the hall.
"Not that I don't enjoy my time with dear old Daddy." Dakarai grumbled to himself as he passed Zuko's room.
Dakarai went into the dining hall, he knew it would be empty.
"I'm so tired of being on this massive hunk of floating metal." Dakarai said kicking one of the tables as he passed it, then sitting down in the back of the room.
Iroh sat down infront of him.
"What are you doing up, Uncle Iroh, isn't it past your bedtime?" Dakarai said joking around.
"I brought you some tea." Iroh said passing him a cup.
"I miss tea, you used to make it for me all the time when I was little." Dakarai said to Iroh, he knew that Iroh knew about Krishna and him, and he knew nobody else was around too.
"How has your expirence in the past been so far, Dakarai?"
"Pretty crappy, but anything is better than being at home." Dakarai said still looking at his tea and not drinking it.
"What is so wrong with your home that you and your sister would want to leave?" Iroh said after taking a sip of his tea.
"I'm the son of Fire Lord Zuko, and I live at an airbender temple." Dakarai said.
Iroh looked like he was about to say something, but Dakarai beat him to it.
"I really don't want to talk about my life, I want to get away from it, not think about it, goodnight, Uncle." Dakarai said leaving.
As Dakarai walked back to his sister's and his room, he started snapping his fingers trowing a tiny fireball up with each snap.
'I wonder if I could get three to stay at the same time, and then I could juggle them?' Dakarai thought smiling.
"Nah, I'd just end up burning my self." he said quietly as he stuck his hands in his pockets.
He got to the room and walked in. Krishna was still asleep.
"Goodnight, Krishna, Mom, Dad, Lord Zuko, Uncle Iroh, Katara, Aang, Sok..." Dakarai said naming off people untill he fell asleep.
End...
It was pretty boring, sorry. I wanted to do the fight at the begining better and longer, but I can't write much of anything interesting. Please review.
