Chapter 76

Wants and Wounds

Ty Lee laid next to the victorious young Vice Regent. Her body was still twitching as she cooed and moaned in the aftershocks of her orgasmic quakes. She finally felt complete even as her vagina still ached from the splitting of her maidenhead. It wasn't the feeling she expected; it was so much more. Pain and pleasure that left her woozy and unable to stand.

"So Ty, what brought you to my room? Were you looking for Suki," Sokka asked as he gently rolled her soft rounded nipple between his fingers making her groan even louder.

She really couldn't reply, just sharply shook her head.

Sokka smiled mischievously at the coy response. "Oh, so you want to play ten questions?" he asked pinching her breast slightly harder as she gasped and bowed her back. "My aren't you a lovely treat Ty. I think I'm ready for our third round. How about you?" he whispered, blowing into her ear.

Ty Lee's big gray eyes suddenly shot open from their bliss-filled tightly closed state. There was sheer panic in them as her heart started to beat rapidly not from sexual excitement but fear. Her hips already felt as though she had been doing full splits for hours. The ex-acrobat's entire body was shaking almost uncontrollably.

Their initial act of coitus left her gasping for air as she tried to roll away from him in vain. Though Sokka was taking it slowly, he assumed she was strong enough to handle the deep thrusts. Ty Lee's body convulsed before she went limp, unable to do anything but cling to him. She was aware of the iron smell of blood and the feeling that her innards were being churned. She would have asked him to stop if not for her pride.

"If Captain and Mai can take this, so can I," she determined.

Soon though, the pain began to subside as Sokka slowed his pace and followed her reactions. Ty Lee's ivory face was glowing red as she felt the tension rising in her core. The pressure became an explosion, and as her body bucked under him, his release intensified the ecstasy that engulfed both of them. His kisses filled her mouth as she hugged him with her remaining strength.

Sokka flipped her to the top while they remained connected. "Rock it slowly," he instructed her, guiding her hips in a slow rolling sway. She complied and was able to deal with the pain that remained from her tearing. This session was longer than the previous one, but with being on top, she was able to control the depth of penetration after a couple of sharp bucks by the young man. That was until he reached between them and began to finger her clitoris.

It was much like when he had surprised her before this all started. The combination caused her mind to go blank, and she felt as though she had pissed herself as her body collapsed on him. As they separated, she weakly laid next to him, letting the waves of pleasure move through her.

Now his steadily growing pulsing erection was knocking into her outer thigh with increasing notice. Just the thought of that behemoth pounding mercilessly into her severely smarting vajayjay was more than she could fathom. Already she assumed she had peed the bed and was hopeful he hadn't noticed. Ty Lee wasn't sure if this was normal for the first time. She just knew she would die of embarrassment if he even mentioned the copious amounts of wetness.

"Uh, cutie," she said clearing her mind and placing a hand on his bare muscular chest. "I remember now why I came here."

Sokka wasn't really in the mood to talk as he focused on her full round breast. "Tell me later, after thirds," he exclaimed heatedly.

Ty Lee tensely smiled as she extended her arm to keep their distance from decreasing anymore. The idea of using chi-blocking crossed her mind as he moved her arm out of the way and lifted her leg back over his hip. Sokka's experience was trumping her naivete at the moment as his nimble fingers parted her folds, fluttering across her clit. Fortunately for Ty Lee, it felt more irritating than stimulating now.

"Cutie, I don't think this should wait," she voiced with a slight grimace of pain. "It's about Suki and Mai."

Just the mention of those two together changed the amorous blue-eyed young man's mood. "Suki and Mai, what about Suki and Mai, Ty Lee?" he asked in a rising tone.

She turned her face away from him, unsure of his expression. "Well, they were kind of arguing in Mai's room," Ty reported in a shy, diminishing voice.

Sokka sat up and swung his legs over the edge of the bed, presenting his scarred back to her. "Talk straight Ty Lee," he demanded sternly. "What do you mean by 'kind of arguing'? Were they fighting or something?" he asked as he started to test the strength in his legs.

Ty Lee covered her eyes with an arm as she laid back on the bed. "Ah, not when I left. But they looked really scary and intense. Captain was wearing her battle fan and you know Mai; she's always packing something sharp. The way they were eyeballing each other, I knew something was going to blow, so I came to get…" Ty Lee suddenly stopped talking as she felt Sokka rise off the bed. She swallowed hard even as her cheeks heated from her shame. She listened intently as Sokka got a pair of trouser and silently slipped them on. He pulled a wraparound tunic from the wardrobe and left the room, closing the door behind him. Even though he didn't slam it, the click made the Kyoshi warrior jump nonetheless.

"Your such an idiot Ty Lee," she berated herself as her tears leaked from under her arm. "Cutie totally hates you now!"

"Are you okay your Highness?" Luwann asked as she pensively touched the new Earth Queen's hand.

"What, uh, what did you say my dear?" Poppy answered as she looked about at the familiar confines of her palanquin.

Luwann bowed her head as she quickly withdrew her hand. "Forgive my impudence, your Majesty. I only touched you to assure your wellness," she pleaded in apparent fear of her Queen.

The queen covered her face with both her hands recalling the events that had transpired in her daughter's study. "How did I get back here?" she thought as she slowly lowered her hands to look at Luwann. "You're supposed to be…"

The courtesan tilted her head slightly to the side. "Suppose to be what, your Majesty," she asked with growing concern. "Sh-should I get help, my Queen?"

Poppy clasped Luwann's hands tightly. "No, ah, no. I'm fine now. I was just a bit frightened by your report is all. So forgive a doting mother's fears for her precious daughter. But all is well now, yes?" she asked the lady with a calm smile.

Luwann felt her heart pounding in her chest as she stared into Poppy's face. She was sure this was working up to her final moments. Luwann was so afraid; the young woman almost began to cry in front of the Queen. Poppy's grip hurt as if her hands were stuck in a vice. "Y-yes your Majesty, all is well now, I do believe," she stated as she scowled in pain.

Poppy immediately released the girl's reddened hands. "Oh, I'm so sorry my dear, I forget how fragile of a cute little thing you are. Here take this," she said as she took out one of her golden hairpins and placed it in Luwann's bun. "How is that?"

This time the courtesan's tears could not be contained as she bowed in thanks. "Th-this is too much, your Majesty. To be in your service is my highest honor!" she exclaimed all too loudly for the enclosed space.

Poppy giggled lightly, smiling at the blushing and kowtowing woman. "What kind of a liege would I be if I didn't reward my trusted servant? Now go back and watch over my precious child. If such things arise again, don't hesitate to inform me, do you understand me Lady Luwann?" Poppy ordered in a no-nonsense voice as she tapped on the floor of the litter.

It immediately came to a halt, and a soldier opened the door with a bow. "How may I be of service my Queen?" he asked.

The Lady Luwann will be returning to the princess' quarters. Please provide her a sufficient escort with all the troubling reports we have heard. It would be tragic if something unfortunate would befall her," Poppy added tapping Luwann's cheek gently.

The soldier appeared confused. "But your Majesty, weren't we already headed for the princess' apartment, if I may be so bold to ask?" he inquired.

Poppy smiled, "We were, but Lady Luwann has informed me all is well. I trust her report implicitly Commander, so there is no need for us to bother her or her guests. I also understand she will be preparing for an extraordinary date," Poppy chortled lightly. "When you speak with Countess Lili, Lady Luwann, tell her I will be picking out the princess' gown for her special occasion."

Luwann couldn't erase the broad smile from her face as she touched the ornate hairpin several times. "It will be as you command, your Majesty," Luwann replied as she left the palanquin with a steadying hand from the soldier.

"So where to now, your Majesty?" the commander asked in a less formal voice with a sigh.

Poppy almost broke out in laughter at his casual demeanor. "Hito did you just sigh in front of your Queen to be," she asked playfully.

He chuckled, now feigning a long yawn. "Late night playing Pai Sho with some of the guys. I lost a month's wage to that old tea shop owner, but at least his tea is good, and his liquor was even better," he told her.

Poppy winked at her longtime loyal friend and servant. "Uh, Hito, has anything strange happened like in the last hour or so?" she asked as her expression changed to one of deep thought.

Hito gazed intently at the demure, but powerful woman. "No, your Majesty. Our jaunt here has been uneventful up to this point," he reported. "Is there something of concern I need to be aware of?"

Poppy shook her head. "No, everything is as it should be dear Hito. Please take us to the Fire Lord's quarters, if I'm not mistaken, Lao maybe in a bit of a quandary as to how to handle this matter."

"Yes, my Queen," the soldier replied closing the door.

As soon as Poppy felt the litter begin to move, she looked at her pinky rings. Taking in a deep breath, she summoned her Djinns. To her relief, both manifested before her. "So, was all that a dream?" she asked them.

"No," they responded in unison.

"She is the Weaver. She spun events and time together. She is a goddess," Thing One declared. "I felt my life end by the cursed hand of that priestess! I was worthless to you, Mistress" she declared bowing to the floor.

"Sit back up, Poppy ordered. "We were all powerless before her, me most of all. But still she has shown us compassion, and we owe her a debt of gratitude. How then can we repay her for your lives?" Poppy asked of her dark companions.

Thing One looked towards the roof of the palanquin. "Goddess Zhinu desires the Avatar does she not?"

"But sister, isn't she already having relations? The room reeked of their mixing," Thing Two pointed out.

"True, but he has another female that longs to have coition and bear his line," Thing One added. "I don't think the Goddess is too fond of this notion. She doesn't appear to be one who would like to share."

Poppy smiled deviously. "Once again my Lovely Ladies, you have hit upon a perfect plan to pay back our Beloved Goddess.

Toph's legs rested over the Avatar's shoulders as she laid back across the top of her wooden desk, leaning on her elbows. His tongue once more hungrily foraged deep into her quivering and extremely moist punanny. Aang's deep sighs as he lapped up her nectar added to the intensity. Each lick brought her closer to her much-anticipated climax.

Suddenly he stopped as his eyes blinked and Aang appeared as if he had forgotten something.

Toph reached down to rub his bald head. "Why did you stop? It was getting really good. Are your knees hurting being on the stones? I think there is a pillow on the chaise you can use," she suggested hoping he would get back to it.

Aang looked more perplexed than before. "Toph, have you ever had the feeling that your living a day, or maybe some point in time over again?" he asked even as he admired the symmetry of her vagina's swelling lips.

"No," she replied curtly. "I do know the feeling of being very unfulfilled and frustrated right now flyboy! If you don't focus on what you were doing before Aang, I guarantee I won't be the only one!" Toph shouted, flicking him lightly on the forehead. "More eating, less talking unless you're gonna try breaking me in again," she proposed.

It seemed that Aang was about to take her suggestion but paused once more. "I can't seem to shake this feeling my love," he sighed loudly. "It's as if we're waiting for somebody to come and interrupt us."

Toph shook her head. "Nobody is coming, Aang. I took care of all those previous interruptions," the princess stated before she thought about it. "Oops, did I say that out loud?"

Aang kissed her directly on the clit, sucking it partially into his mouth. The sheer sensation clouded Toph's thinking as he had hoped. "What previous interruptions?" he asked.

Toph sat up trying to stop the spinning sensation put Aang raised her legs so that she would have to lean back down on the desk as before. This time he added bending. Her building vaginal fluids swirled about within the cavity, putting pressure on the sensitive walls. "What previous interruptions," he asked stopping right before she peaked.

"UNFAIR!" Toph protested as her body trembled and pulsated. She could feel the wave she was riding subside.

"Just tell me, and we can finish this Toph!" Aang insisted. "This feeling is driving me crazy."

"Okay," she conceded, "but put your finger in me so that we don't have to start over completely."

Aang didn't place one but two fingers within Toph's very saturated pudenda. He watched her face as she cooed with pleasure once more as they slid deeply in and he started to rub that bumpy spot that made her groan loudly. "Done my love. Now explain what you did," he requested a final time.

Toph had to focus again just to speak. "I, rather Zhinu, changed things around, just a little because my mom decided to be a bitch, clear enough? Can you please finish me Aang!"

"Change things how?" the Avatar said, delving even deeper.

Toph slammed a fist on the desk. "Dammit Aang, can't we talk about this later? I'm about to explode here, and all you want to do is talk! My mom interrupted us, and I just made it so she wouldn't do it again, satisfied!" she yelled down at him with that angry face he so loved.

Before Toph knew it, she was in paradise, and all her frustration had dissipated completely.

"See, that wasn't so hard," Aang said victoriously as he stood.

The princess didn't respond but just smiled seductively, making room enough so that she could kneel in front of him. Toph pulled the Avatar's trousers down to his knees even has his member rested on the side of her warm cheek. Toph took the shaft in her hand and pulled back the cowl, gently licking the slit. The taste of his precum was on her lips, and she could feel his release building. She suddenly stood and smiled.

Aang looked confused. "Uh, what's wrong my love?"

Toph grinned, "Nothing, just felt like talking."

The Avatar rubbed his forehead. "Now… right now Toph?"

She reached down and took possession of his penis. "How does it feel when you want your lover's touch and pleasure, and they hold it over you hostage, my love," Toph asked as her face saddened. "It's a cruel game Aang!" she exclaimed dropping down to fill her mouth with his gland. She was surprised to feel it softening.

Aang lifted her back to her feet. "I'm so sorry Toph. I wasn't treating you with respect or love," he admitted, kissing her gently on the lips. "Can you forgive me?"

The petite princess grabbed his flaccid shaft and began to massage it gently. "I like to show my forgiveness, I find words so lacking," Toph stated as she bent over and began to suckle his burgeoning penis once again.

Sokka ran as quickly as he could down the long hall towards Mai's room. He had visions of the carnage he expected to find. Both women were known for their prowess in battle, and without a doubt, they both had tempers that were not to be trifled with.

In between his visions, he thought about Ty Lee and why she decided to seduce him rather than tell him about what was going on between the warrior women. Both of whom she regarded as a friend, or so he thought.

Sokka felt frustrated by this feeling of weakness he couldn't seem to shake no matter how hard he tried to push himself. His tryst with Ty Lee didn't seem to help. It felt like hours were passing with each moment and the hall, though massive, appeared like an eternity away. His desperation was also mounting.

Finally, he reached Mai's room. He could hear swearing and items breaking inside. It sounded like a war was going on.

Sokka paused and placed his hand on the door. A tremendous crash, followed by a thud, sent shivers down his spine. He felt he couldn't hesitate any further.

The Vice Regent depressed the door latch and swung it open right as Suki's metal fan deflected the spinning shuriken Mai had just hurled. The four-bladed throwing star struck him squarely in the gut, right above his navel. Sokka was in such a hurry; he hadn't bothered to close and tie his tunic. The silk might have shielded him a little, but just a little.

"Sokka!" Suki screamed as she saw him holding his stomach and the streams of blood running through his fingers. Before she could reach him, he slumped forward, careening to the ground. "Mai, come and help me!" the Kyoshi Captain cried.

Mai was instead standing in the hall, screaming at the top of her lungs for help. In uncharacteristic fashion, the customarily controlled lady appeared hysterical.

Suki had rolled him over was trying to pack the sleeve she had ripped from her uniform around the half of the weapon on the outside to control the bleeding.

"Shut the fuck up!" she yelled at the panicking knife wielder. "Come over here and help me or he's gonna die!

Suki's words seemed to break through to Mai, and she darted to the opposite side. Mai immediately checked his breathing and pulse. "He's going into shock," she announced lifting his legs. We have to keep the blood around his head and heart!"

Several attendants were now around them.

"I have sent for healers," one announced.

"Is there anything else we can do," a young man offered.

"Go to the Princess' room. Tell the Lady Katara her brother has been gravely injured," Mai quickly ordered him, not taking her eyes off of Sokka. "RUN!"

In a flash, the servant was down the hall and out of sight.

"You know she's going to kill us, Mai," Suki said, pressing harder on the wound. "Damn, it's still bleeding pretty bad. I never wanted to drown or be frozen," she sighed.

"Do you think she would really freeze us?" Mai asked, checking the whites of Sokka's eyes.

Suki shook her head. "Why are you asking Mai?"

"Because I really fucking hate the cold!" she confessed.

Even from a distance, the two women could hear Katara calling out her brother's name.
