Ok here it is chapter 4 I was a little discouraged by the lack of reviews but I'm better now and as a result I have written chapter 4 waits for cheers (hears only a few small claps)

(Sighs) oh well here you go you selfish readers enjoy

Oh and I forgot to mention I wouldn't mind a review or 2 you know to keep up my self esteem…

And my good mood…

"Oh great what has Zuko done now" Ira mumbled as she ran into the flame filled clearing.

She looked at Zuko who was fighting a short kid with an arrow on his head while 2 others, water peasants by the look of them, stood behind him looking around nervously or at least until the girl spotted her and pointed her out to the other peasant and the kid with the arrow.

She frowned and looked at Zuko and leaned against a tree and watched the battle for a little until the peasants began approaching her.

She of course ignored them waiting for them to come to her and crossed her arms retrieving the two knives she kept in her sleeve, which had surprisingly survived the storm, and continued watching the battle.

The boy spoke to her first just as Zuko caught a blow the sent him into a small bush

"What are you doing here" he demanded she rolled her eyes

Watching the battle" as if that wasn't obvious she though bitterly

The girl moved in front of the boy "we mean what are you doing here in the first place" she said with a small smile

She pushed herself up from the tree effortlessly, still hiding her knives in her sleeves "well that's easy enough you see the firebender over there well I'm his servant and seeing as he looks like he's doing fine I'm watching" and she moved to a better view leaving the two of them behind whispering swiftly while she leaned against a different tree.

She glanced over at the battle field while still keeping an eye on the two as they whispered and finally walked over to her the girl leading the boy.

I'm sorry but we'll have to take you captive" the girl said grimly as though she didn't want to and uncorked her canteen and drew out water and the boy moved around behind the tree the far right corner of he vision.

She smiled and grabbed the two and spun and slammed them into the tree with her now drawn knives at their throats in one smooth motion trapping them.

I think you might want to rethink that idea she said simply and pressed the knife blade harder "drop the boomerang and the canteen now" she said grimly she lived for these moments

They did quickly and she looked around at the clumps of brush surrounding the tree and a bit of rope a few yards out of her reach.

She smiled evilly "stay here she commanded and sheathed her knives in her sleeve and stepped away from the pair for an instance and lit the brush with a sweeping motion trapping the two in the middle of the flames protected only by a yards worth of sand.

She grabbed the rope and walked back to the two by making a path through the circle of fire she grabbed the two frightened teenagers and held them close together while she tied them to the tree.

By the time she had finished tying the two up the bushes had burned out and Zuko and the monk were getting tired, she watched them a little longer then called out to the monk.

If I were you I'd have given up by now" she called merrily to them walking over to her prisoners.

The two stopped fighting

"Sokka, Katara… who are you" the monk said the surprise apparent on his face.

"Oh great prisoners these will help greatly in my plan" Zuko said straightening up his posture and walking over to the prisoners

She frowned and stepped in his way reaching for her knives "not so fast these aren't your prisoners there mine and can be sold for a price" she said gripping her knives preparing to draw them.

"What do you know about prisoners" Zuko said mockingly brushing past her

"Quite a bit actually" she smiled and placed her knife at the back of his neck and the other at the front.

"What price" Zuko spat bitterly

"release from your service and a written document saying that I can no longer me forced to serve in a household unless I wish it" she didn't want anyone to have to right to punish her if they found out that she was a spy.

'done" Zuko was relieved he didn't really feel comfortable with Mira as his servant seeing as she was now under the charming yet deadly category

Good I want the written document when you find some paper" she said happily "the prisoners are now yours" she stepped aside.

Wait a minute you can't just sell my friends like that" the monk said angrily

Now that's were your wrong I can and did sell them if you want them released talk it over with mar high and mighty over there" she pointed in Zuko's direction merrily

"Um… that's okay I don't think he wants to talk to me at the moment" he said cautiously at the scowling Zuko who was hovering over the two water peasants

Can I borrow one of your knives I'll give it back I swear" the monk pleads.

Whatever as long as I get them back" she said yawning and handed her left hand knife over.

Thanks" the monk called as he leaped about twenty feet into the air and floated down just behind the tree were he cut the ropes encircling the two peasants and shooting a blast of air at Zuko throwing him back a few feet giving him and the peasants enough time to throw her knife back and run into the woods at a furious speed leaving the bison behind seeing as they would have to fight Zuko to get to him she grinned happily at the retreating backs of the monk and his friends then turned to look at Zuko who ran after them about 30 yard behind them.

And the chase begins" she grinned and walked calmly after Zuko after grabbing the bison by the reins and pulling him along with her.

ok now REVEIW! you know you want to
