Disclaimer: If I owned the Avatar….would I be writing Fanfiction?
Zuke thought for a long while about her dream and why she keeps having it, she had a feeling it was very symbolic of something in the back of her mind she refuses to tell herself.
She sighed and managed to doze off into a light sleep again, though less relaxed she had yet another dream.
Zuke sat cross legged back-to-back with Aki; they giggled and laughed while brushing their dolls hair. Zuke styled her dolls hair into her own hair style at the time, a short ponytail darting out from her hair line, and Aki's doll matched her hair as well, straight down with the top half of her hair in a bun.
Zuke giggle and looked at Aki, "I'm so glad we're best friends, do you think our friendship will always be so perfect?" She said hugging her gently.
"Always!" Aki answered in a happy voice while she stared at the black silk necklace with the blue charm; she always thought it was familiar, and that it looked better on her, but she wouldn't DARE ask Zuke for it.
"Wake up! It's morning; wake your little Avatar butt up!" Aki suddenly said out of the blue.
Zuke's eyes opened slowly to find Karoku hovering over her, and looking angry as usual. She sighed and sat up and thought about her dream.
She remembers Aki and how close they were, as if they've known each other before. Zuke wondered why Aki was always so fascinated with her necklace, and just then Zuke reached up to grip the gold necklace that was no longer there.
She sighed and looked into the fire where a squirrel was roasting, her eyes widened at the fact that he had managed to get food on his own, she smirked and meditated with the fire much to the dismay of Karoku who was trying to cook. ((Do remember that the squirrels here are about the size of Hares))
When the food was finally done Karoku bit into the roast squirrel hungrily and greedily, she sighed with satisfaction after the first two bites and looked over at Zuke who was watching him eat.
He sighed and realized she was getting skinny and that he should feed her SOMETHING, so he gave her some nuts and a piece of the squirrel. She quickly finished food and left a dumbfounded Prince who had never seen someone eat that fast in his entire life.
Zuke finished with an empty stomach in her feeling and an uneasy sense that someone was watching her. She looked around and saw Karoku staring off into space while stomping out the fire.
She heard a twig snap and looked angrily towards Karoku, he looked at her with a similar angry look and began to say something but his mouth was quickly slapped closed by Zuke's relentless hand.
"Shhhhh…" She whispered as she stared into the dusk lit forest, only shadows of the trees could be seen.
Out of the blue another twig snapped and a figure darted among the trees, quicker then Karoku's eyes Zuke was gone and after whatever she had seen. Thinking he had lost the Avatar he pulled his dagger and went on a chase after the young girl.
Zuke darted among the branches of the trees, swinging and doing flips like a professional gymnast; she was almost within grabbing range of the impossibly fast figure.
On a last leap she landed on a weak branch and it snapped beneath her weight, she hit the ground first and the large branch landed on-top of her knocking her breath out momentarily.
She lay staring at the rising sun for a half a second and tried to sit up but unable because of the branch. A dark figure approached her, and intently walked towards her with death in his walk.
The body was obviously that of a man, he was wearing a black ninja body suit and a full head mask with thinner material covering the eyes from the outside. He kneeled next to her and caressed her face with a gloved hand, a yell was heard from the distance and the figure took off before Zuke could look back at him.
Karoku appeared from the brush and ran to Zuke's side.
