Chapter 11
Umm… untitled
They were finally at the North Pole.
Appa landed in the water and Kohana observed the many water benders carefully as they melted a large portion of the ice wall leading to the village. Appa halted when they reached the heart of the city and Kohana slid off the bison, thankful to see land again. Her father, Ryoku and Jet jumped off as well, equally happy to stretch their legs. Kohana was stretching when she heard a familiar voice.
"Kohana?" she turned around in shock
"Katara!" the two friends hugged but Katara froze when she saw who accompanied Kohana. Kohana looked back at Jet who was rubbing Appa's belly and she giggled.
"Jet, I want you to meet somebody!" he turned around smiling, but his smile faded when he realized who she was talking about and his eyes locked with Katara's. When Kohana looked back at both of their expressions she said:
"What's the matter with you two?"
"Well look what the cat dragged in," Katara hissed. Jet walked warily to Kohana's side.
"Do you know each other?" Kohana looked from Katara to Jet.
"I'm afraid so," Jet said gloomily.
"Jet!" Kohana's father said from behind, "Could you help me with our bags? Ryoku's busy vomiting from the trip and is incapable of helping me at this time." Kohana's father almost seemed sarcastic, but Jet quickly ran over, happy to have an excuse not to make any contact with Katara.
Katara stared at Kohana with concern
"Kohana, what is he doing here?"
"Well I invited him to come… Why?" Kohana looked at her friend in confusion.
"He's insane. He tried to tried to flood a whole village…" Kohana frowned at her accusation.
"That's impossible… He wouldn't do that…" she said
"That's what I thought too, but trust me, I was there when he did it. Hey, Sokka! Aang!" the two boys rushed over.
"Kohana?" Sokka said, "Wow long time no see!" Kohana smiled.
"You guys, tell Kohana about how Jet tried to flood that earth kingdom village," Katara said.
"Yep. The guy's down-right crazy," Aang started.
"If I ever see his face again I think I'll--" Sokka's eyes found Jet helping Kohana's father and he glared in rage, "WHY THE HECK IS HE HERE?"
"Look Kohana," Katara finished, ignoring Sokka's yells of anger, "He attempted murder. You can't trust him." Kohana stared at the three of them in shock. Jet ran over and said:
"Hey Kohana, do you want me to--" when she heard him coming, she back away. He stepped closer to her but she just stepped back even further. Jet looked over to see Aang, Sokka and Katara all glaring at him.
"What did you say to her!" he hissed.
"Oh, nothing. Just that you're an insane FREAK who flooded a town!" Sokka shouted. Jet felt his feet chill and realized he couldn't move them.
"Give him what he deserves, Kohana," Katara had frozen him to the ground and he knew what she meant for Kohana to do. He watched the water rise of from the ground in fear as Kohana formed it into a water whip.
"Is this true?" Her voice shook with anger and doubt.
"Kohana, look… I've changed…" he struggled against the ice encasing his feet. She turned her head, not letting any of them see her expression. That was all she needed to hear. She was ready to fire at him when she saw Jet's face. It was a mix of emotions form fear to sorrow and guilt. She bit her lip. Jet felt his feet thaw and watched Kohana's water fall to the ground with a splash as she ran to the hut which they were attending.
"She's always been soft," said Sokka grumpily.
"You stay away from her, Jet! Don't ruin her life any more than you already have!" Katara stormed off with Aang close behind.
Jet ran to the hut, worried to enter. He opened the door, but saw no one. Walking in, he heard the door close behind him.
"Why?" he heard Kohana's voice. She stood against the wall, her head down and her arms crossed, a shadow casting over her face making her look dark and depressed.
"What I did was wrong and I know that," He hesitated
"You didn't answer my question," she walked over to him, an unreadable expression on her face, "Why?"
"…Because I wanted revenge," Kohana looked down and sat on the bed, burying her face in her hands. Jet knelt down in front of her and pulled her hands away from her face. Putting a hand on her cheek he said:
"It's in the past now,"
"How can you say that!" she stood up and refused to look at him. He wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her from behind.
"I repaired the damage from the flood,"
"What?" Kohana spun around and he smiled.
"Well, I didn't do it myself, but we paid the villagers enough money that we stole from the fire nation to pay for the damage."
"And you haven't done anything like that since?" she eyed him warily.
"Nope," she sighed in relief. Resting her head on his chest she said:
"What you did was still wrong… But I just hate fighting with you," he hugged her waist tightly.
"I know… me too," they both sighed, "When am I going to meet your cousin?" Kohana gasped.
"Damn, I forgot! We have to be there now!" She grabbed his hand and they ran to the main hall where Kohana's father, brother, uncle, cousin, and master all stood.
"Umm… Hi," she laughed hesitantly, "Sorry I'm late." At spotting her cousin, Kohana squealed and hugged her.
"It's so wonderful to see you again, Kasui!" Yue said.
"You too,"
"Sooo," Yue grinned at her little cousin, "Who's your new friend?" Jet walked over and Kohana replied.
"Yue this is Jet. Jet, Yue," They shook hands and Kohana's father interrupted by saying:
"Kasui, this is your master, Master Pakku," Kohana bowed and Master Pakku began:
"I hope you've had rest because we're starting the lesson soon. You will be in the intermediate group with Katara, Aang and few others," she nodded.
"Yes, sir," she turned to Jet, "I might be gone for a while… I'm sure you'll find something to do."
"Yeah, of course," he wasn't exactly sure what, but he knew that being in such a great city, there would definitely be something to do.
A/N: I don't know if anyone's noticed this, but only Kohana's family calls her Kasui. IF YOU KNOW WHY, THAN TELL ME YOUR THEORY IN A REVIEW AND IF YOU GUESS CORRECTLY, YOU WILL GET TO CHOSE ONE OF THREE OPTIONS…BUT YOU HAVE TO WAIT AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY ARE…
SQUEE!
