Chapter Five -Bring it
Yukino walked out back onto the deck and noticed that Prince Zuko hadn't moved from his spot.
"About time you showed up." He said stepping forward.
"It's only been about half an hour." She got closer. She had changed her clothing to a sleeveless black martial arts outfit, so she wasn't wearing heavy material. Hitomi had helped Yukino bandage up her chest so you couldn't see her girly figure.
"Shall we...?" He asked as his hands formed fire daggers.
"Lets get one thing cleared up-" Yukino was cut off when Zuko started charging at her with speed. He threw his right dagger at her but she ducked down below and stumbled back. She quickly moved back up as Zuko hurled his other arm at her. She shielded herself, blocking his arm off.
"Fight back." He yelled and jumped back. Yukino got into her fighting stance and glared at the towering prince. He ran at her again with flames in his hand and forced a stream of fire at her. She gasped and quickly bent back as the fire moved above her body. She back flipped a couple times and got further away from Zuko so she could figure out what to do. 'I can't water bender… so this sucks.' She thought. 'Looks like I'll just have to fight normally... While dodging the fire too…' She moaned.
"What are you doing?" The prince yelled at her. "Are you even trying!" Yukino looked at him.
"I'm not listening!" She childishly yelled. She knew she was acting like a child, but she didn't care. Prince Zuko grumbled and ran back at her once again. This time, Yukino also ran at him. As the two were getting closer to each other, Yukino dropped to her feet and slid underneath the prince. As she slid between his legs, she grabbed both of his legs and pulled him down. He fell flat on his face when Yukino hopped back up.
"What? Sleeping in the middle of a fight? Wow…" She laughed. Zuko lifted himself up and glared at her. He had a red spot on his nose where he had fallen on it.
"You'll regret that." He hopped up and turned around, only to notice she was gone.
"Hey!" Zuko looked up as Yukino's foot came right at him. He gasped and quickly grabbed her leg. "Wha-?" He threw her to the side, causing her to hit the railing of the side of the boat. She sat there for a second, rubbing her head of the pain. Zuko walked up to her and smiled.
"Not so tough are we now…?" He laughed. Yukino grinned, sending her leg around fast and tripping him to the ground. She quickly hopped up and backed away from him.
"Oh... I contradict." She said waiting for him. The prince was about to attack her again when a soldier came running out.
"Prince Zuko! Sightings of the Avatar have been reported." He shouted. "He's on Kyoshi Island." Zuko hopped up and looked at the helm.
"Set a course to Kyoshi Island!" He shouted and began to leave.
"Hey wait! What about our fight?" Yukino demanded.
"The avatar is more important then this silly little fight." He turned and looked at her.
"Then you must be a silly little boy because it was your idea smart one!" She growled at him. Zuko turned around and walked up to her. He quickly grabbed her shirt and lifted her up to his face.
"I want you to stay here while I'm gone. Don't leave the ship, don't touch the land, don't do anything. I'll deal with you when I return with the avatar." He snarled and let go of her. He turned sharply and ran off. Yukino stood in her place and began rubbing where he had grabbed her. Her clothing had a smell of burnt cloth and she knew he wasn't joking around.
"Your not the boss of me... I have just as great power as you do..." She muttered to herself. "I'll make sure that you don't succeed… no matter what the cost is." A slight grin formed upon her face as she walked off to go change her clothing.
"Yukino… this is stupid." Hitomi said as Yukino dressed the two of them in their regular water tribe clothing. "One: We're dressed like girls again… and two: someone will surely notice us." She pointed out.
"If we wear make up and wear our hair right and show off our body… no one will recognize us." Yukino laughed it off. Half of her hair was in a ponytail, while the rest hung down. Her bangs were down as well. Normally when she was in disguise, her bangs were also up with her ponytail. She had slipped some eyeliner on her eyes and a little bit of eye shadow. Hitomi also did the same with her hair and makeup. She wore a blue Yukata over her slender body and dark blue baggy pants. Yukino wore almost the same besides the fact that her torso cut off to show her belly. She wore a black undershirt, and the top of her shirt looked like the top half of a Yukata that was cut apart that went over her shirt, with long sleeves that hung off her shoulders. A water nation badge was pinned to the middle of her chest along with her betrothal necklace that her mother gave to her for a keepsake. A long skirt laid over her thighs with slits that ran up each side, covering most of her dark blue slacks.
"We just started this trip and you're already on the verge of getting us killed. Nice thinking there." Hitomi crossed her arms as she watched her princess struggle to open up a fan. "Need help?"
"I can... do it..." Yukino grumbled. She got frustrated and flung it open, having it whack her in the face. Hitomi covered her mouth trying not to burst out laughing.
"Are you ok…?" A slight giggle escaped her mouth as Yukino turned to stare at her with a red mark on her forehead.
"I'm … fine." She mumbled and picked up a cloak. "Lets get going." She tossed another cloak to Hitomi.
"And how exactly are we supposed to get out of here without being noticed?" Hitomi asked catching the cloak.
"Zuko will be taking most of his men, so when he leaves, we leave." She smiled.
"If you say so."
Prince Zuko climbed aboard his rhino. The beast growled as the prince's foot jagged into its side to command it to go. A majority of men climbed upon their own beasts and were ready to head out.
"Lets move." Zuko commanded as the front of the bow began to unfold to make a passage. He kicked the rhino again and it began to walk off onto the land, followed by the soldiers.
