Dragons and demons Hessair, Katashi, and Byn-Au
The odd letter
On the deck of Fire lord Zukos ship
The prince of the Fire Nation, was practicing his evasion tactics by having lieutenant Ji, a friend of his father Zuko, throw extremely hot and crackling fire punches towards him. Ken'Ichi evaded each with practiced ease; even if Ji threw a kick he would dodge it. That is until his uncle ran on deck.
"Prince Ken'Ichi!" The Dragon of the West, also known as Uncle Iroh, called, "Your Parents need to speak to you!"
Turning to his friend and dragon Katashi asked, "What did I do this time?"
I don't know, he replied, Iroh what did he do?
"Come with me!" Iroh said and grabbed his arm and dragged him down to the boiler room.
Once he got there he saw both his parents sitting there with a painting in front of them. When his parents saw him they motioned Ken'Ichi to where they were and they pointed at the young woman in the scroll.
"Do you know who this is?" His father Zuko asked
"I don't have a clue." Ken'Ichi replied
"It just happens to be our little cousin Kazuko" Azula muttered with pure hate
"What is so bad about her?" Ken'Ichi stated, "She seems nice."
"Azula hates her because all the features of the Fire Nation have been weeded out through the generations" Zuko said, "All that is left is her power over fire."
I am generally curious about this woman Katashi muttered, Iroh can I talk to you for a moment?
"Hmmm?" Iroh responded as he and Katashi moved away from werethe others were discussing how to bring Kazuko here.
Is there any way that I could observe her? Katashi asked
"I believe that can be possible." Iroh replied pleased with the question, "Is there any reason why?"
I'm not quite sure, though she seems like an interesting womanKatashi told him
"What are you two going on about?" Zuko, Sokka, and Ken'Ichi chorused to Uncle and Katashi because they heard them conversing
I was hoping that maybe I could observe her for awhile?
"How is long is awhile to you?" Zuko asked questioningly
Two hours starting tomorrow at 10 in the morning Katashi replied
"You may observe my cousin, but don't give yourself away" Zuko told him
With that said Katashi tried to help them all figure out were it was best for Kazuko and Aang to land when he picked her up on Appa. There was a lot of bickering until one of them suggested that Kyoshi would be the best place fot them to land.
Once they landed on Kyoshi they told Aang their plan. Aang agreed to it saying it'd be a lot of fun scaring her! They all laughed at what he said after they agreed. It was planned that two days before Kazuko's winter break began, which consequently was two days before the Eve of Father Noels coming (1), they all agreed. The planning began on how to best let her know.
Back at home with Kazuko
"Just about there..." Kazuko said while typing up her report on Japanese Lung
"Done!" She shouted, "I'm done yes! I just have to turn it in then its break."
Her dog Byn-Au looked at her as if to say you got it done and we are going to your family's home for the winter break.
Kazuko ran towards her motorcycle report in hand. She jumped on and sped off toward her university W.U. (2) were her professor Sifu Jaganashi (3) sat waiting for his students to come in.
"Sifu Jaganashi!" Kazuko yelled, "I'm done"
"Ah, Kazuko, one of my best students" Jaganashi said, "What do you have for me?"
"My report on Japanese Lung, that took about a month." Kazuko said while handing the report to her Sensei
It took awhile but her sensei gave the report back to her, not with a sympathetic you got a low score smile, but a true smile.
"Take a look." He urged
Curious, Kazuko looked at the front page to see an A plus! She gave her Sensei a huge hug and said
"Arigoto Jaganashi-sensei, Arigoto"
"Please don't call me Sifu or Sensei (4), it makes me feel old" He replied with a laugh
"Gomen Jaganashi" Kazuko said
"It's fine" He said, "Kazuko?"
"Yeah" she said
"Have a good break!" He replied as Kazuko left
She sped home knowing that tonight Avatar, her favorite show, would be on. She was alsoextremely happy that she could go and see her family for winter break. She ran through the house in a very excitable manor. Byn-Au was pretty confused as to why she was acting weird.
In her happy mood she failed to notice a scroll on her couch put Byn-Au found it and started to bark. Kazuko stopped jumping and looked at her dog who was pointing at a scroll placed straight up and down on the cushion of her couch.
"What's this?" she said as she picked the scroll up, "I haven't seen this before"
Kazuko noticed, that upon looking at the scroll that it had on it in neat writing:
For Miss Kazuko
"Wonder why it's for me?" Kazuko wondered
She opened it to find...
Ari's place
A cliffhanger!
Some things that may have made you curious:
1) Eve of Father Noels coming: I'm going off as if Santa Clause or Father Noel was in that Universe
2) W.U. : Three guesses as to what university she goes to
A, Willamette University,
B Western University,
or C Wes University
3) Sifu Jaganashi: No relation to the Fire Demon on Yu Yu Hakusho (forgets his name (which I also don't own)
4) "Please don't call me Sifu or Sensei, it makes me feel old": Does this sound familiar? It's like an interaction between Kakashi and Iruka but it is not a crossover!
Keep in mind that this is not a crossover between Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto, and Avatar: The Last Airbender! Only brief references are used.
