Disclaimer: If I owned the Avatar….would I be writing Fanfiction?
Karoku appeared from behind the brush and ran to Zuke's side.
"Try to get away from me again and I'll kill you." Karoku scowled at her while holding the dagger to her neck.
"Thanks for your concern…" Zuke spat at him while pushing the branch off her.
She scowled at him angrily while he looked around looking at the snapped twigs in front of her. "Why are these twigs snapped…you didn't even get this far…" He asked her suspiciously.
"Well while you were dilly-dallying behind, some masked Ninja guy swooped down from the trees and about whisked me off, you about lost your precious Avatar, Little Prince.
Karoku shot her a dirty look while she brushed herself off, he walked up to her and pulled her wrist up to his chest and glared down at her, "After all of this, I will NOT loose you to some pitiful ninja." He said intensely looking like he was trying to burn a hole through her head.
The Stone Prince smirked and tied a rope around her wrists and began walking back to their campsite to gather the few belongings they had left. Zuke tugged at the rope that was now attached to his waist, he didn't skip a beat, his armor was too heavy for him to loose any sort of traction due to her tug-o-war game.
Zuke finally had stopped tugging and was slumping along slowly and purposely stumbling to slow Prince Karoku down, he was getting sick of this girl and how she showed no respect or fear of him.
They eventually returned to the campsite where it had been ransacked by raccoon-weasels, Karoku kicked the empty torn up bag that once held food and other various supplies.
Zuke smirked behind Karoku and sat as Karoku gathered up his supplies and forced Zuke to carry them, she grumbled but figured they'd probably need the supplies eventually.
Karoku pushed her along in front of him with a rope around her waist so she doesn't try anything to get away; Zuke stumbled over many branches but caught herself each time avoiding injuries of any sort.
Zuke stopped in the middle of the pathway and stopped to listen, "You hear that?" She whispered to Karoku.
"Keep going I don't hear anything." He pushed her slightly.
"Exactly my point…nothing no birds, no crickets…something had to scare them off…" She whispered before a rumbling roar was heard through the forest, and it was close.
Her eyes widened and they took off running when a Platypus-bear burst through the bushes and began chasing them, Karoku was slower then Zuke due to his armor but he maintained a decent pace.
The platypus-bear was gaining on them fast and Zuke who was now in the trees was safe from danger, she jumped ahead leaving Karoku behind and yelling at her.
Prince Karoku bounded and leaped over the many obstacles such as fallen trees and uprooted roots, she stumbled a few times and upon one uprooted root he fell flat on the ground.
The platypus-bear reared up and roared once again leaving a shocked and dumbfounded Prince on the ground. Zuke sought this opportunity to swing down and use her momentum to fling Karoku into the tree on which she was hiding; her planned worked much to the dismay of the disgruntled platypus-bear who roared once again.
Karoku leaned against the tree while sitting on the branch and looked shockingly at Zuke who had saved him, even after he had treated her so badly.
"I was fine…I didn't need your help!" He shouted at her, looking angry.
"Well you're welcome, don't mention it!" She shouted back in sarcasm getting up in his face.
"You should have just left me I had a PLAN!" He roared.
"Well it worked out wonderfully DIDN'T IT!" She screeched, winning the argument and shutting Karoku up.
