Lil'Pup: This chapter of Shizuru's Story is going to be a Avatar the Last Airbender crossover. Which I do not own as well as Yu Yu Hakusho. And you'll get to see what Haneul can do.

------------------------

It was my last day of first grade. Our class was having a party and everyone was looking forward to our three months of freedom. Well, everyone but the Madubachi Trio and I.

"So your parents are making you guys go on an all summer cruise?" I asked still not really believing it.

"Yeah, that said we have to go," Hatori said.

"We wanted to spend the summer with you." Shigure and Ayame said at the same time.

"I wanted to spend the summer with you guys too." I said. "But what are you guys so upset about? Your still have each other. I'm going to be stuck here training with a vampire."

"Okay, you have to admit that sound pretty cool." Shigure said.

"Yeah, it does, but you guys will have more fun then I will."

"Come on Shizuru you'll find something to do." Ayame said.

I looked at him. "You better be right."

THE NEXT DAY

I was standing in the forest with a backpack waiting for everyone. I was wearing khaki shorts and a red t-shirt. In my backpack were a stuffed dragon, dog, and snake that the Madubachi Trio gave me. I gave them a stuffed fox, after the animal that was on my holloween costume.

I waited for about five minutes before Haneul showed up. "Where's Aglaia and Michi?" I asked.

"Oh, uh... They had some things to take care of," he said nervously.

"By things, do you mean that Michi got drunk and Aglaia is trying to get her sober?"

Haneul hung his head and sighed, "Yes."

"Michi should go to one of those alcoholic meetings." I said.

He let out a nervous laugh and walked towards me. As he did so, he tripped and his scythe went flying. I ducked as it went past me and deeper into the forest. "Oh no, come back." Haneul said as he went running after it.

After wondering how his scythe went so far, I was going to help him find it when I noticed that a portal had been made while the scythe was going though the forest. I walked towards it then stopped. "Remember Shizuru, curiosity killed the cat." I told myself. But then I after a minute my boredom took over and I hopped in the portal.

"Shizuru I found my scythe!" Haneul said walking into the clearing. "Shizuru?"

--------

After I stepped out of the portal and it closed behind me. "Well I'm stuck here," I said to myself, "Might as well look around." I seemed to by the ocean or something. There was a town near by so I started walking towards it. I found that the town looked some what like ancient Japan. I walked around for a bit, ignoring some of the looks people gave me.

I was thinking about turning back when I heared someone crying from an ally. I walked over there and saw that older boys were picking on a little girl who seemed to be about five years old. When one of them pushed her to the ground and rubbed her face in the dirt I stepped in.

"So what makes that girl so interesting?" I asked putting a sucker in my mouth and pointing at the girl with my free hand.

The two boys and the little girl looked over at me. "What do you want?" Boy number one said.

"What I want is for you to leave her alone." I said.

The boys smirked. "We'll leave her alone,"they said.

"But..."

"But we're going to beat you up instead."

The two idoits came running towards me. When they came closer I just punched them both in the face and they were out.

"Well, that was a waste of time." I said to myself. The girl was looking at me, tears still in her eyes. "Are you okay?" I asked. She just nodded in response. I wiped the tears from her eyes and sat next to her. "I'm Shizuru."

The girl looked at me for a moment then said in a quiet voice. "Amala."

"Amala," I said, "I like it, it rolls off the tounge." This cause her to giggle. "So why were those boys picking on you?"

"I live on a farm I about thirty minutes from the villge." Amala said looking down. "Those boys were being mean to me becasue I'm poor."

"Really?" I asked. At her nod I got up and stepped on each boys stomach, then walked back to her. "So what are you doing so far from home?"

"My brother just join the army. He left this morning while I was sleeping so I didn't get to say good-bye." Amala said looking at me. "I want to tell him I love him and that he's the worlds best big brother because I don't know if I'll see him again." Then she started crying again.

I pulled out another sucker and gave it to her. "Here, have this," I said handing it to her. "It's called a sucker, it's candy. It makes you tounge change color," I said showing her my tounge.

She looked at the sucker for a minute then put it in her mouth. As she did her eyes lit up. "This is good."

"Yeah, they can did addicting." I said. "And you can eat them as you walk. Speaking of which we better get going."

"What? Go where?" Amala asked.

"To go see your brother. You may need my help sneaking into the military base, and I want to make sure no one else picks on you on the way there." I said. I was able to guess that her world was at war and that there had to be a military base near by.

Amala hugged me and let out a simple 'thank you'.

-----------------------------------------------

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST SHIZURU?" Aglaia shouted.

"I'm sorry, but when my scythe flew away it must of made a portal and Shizuru must have fell in." Haneul said bowing down.

"Well do you think you can find her?" Michi asked.

"I'm not sure," Haneul said, "I have no idea where the portal led to."

"Damnit," Aglaia said. "We're just going to have to rely on luck to find her, and hope she won't get into any trouble."

"Lighten up Aglaia," Michi said, "She's seven years old, what's the worst that could happen?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Amala and I reached the base and were trying to think of a way to get in.

"How are we going to get past the guards?" Amala asked.

"Don't worry, I have an idea." The idea was to hit them with some spirt energy, hope they can't see it, then hope for the best. I did just that and it worked just like I hoped it would.

"How did you do that?" Amala asked.

"I'll tell you later," I told her, "But right now we should find your brother before anyone notice's us."

We ducked around corners, hid in the shadows, and I made sure to keep my guard up to make sure no one got us from behind. There was something that had been bothering me since I came here. Some of the people had what looked like fire spirits in them. I would ask Amala, but I don't think I should tell her I'm from a different world. I guessed people knew about it because their flag had a flame symbol on it. We came across a group of men training, and wouldn't you know it, they were shooting flames from their hands.

"That explains alot." I said to myself.

"What explains alot?" Amala asked.

"Nothing, lets keep going." I said.

"Wait look!" Amala said.

"What? Do you see your brother?"

"No it's Prince Iroh and Captain Jeong Jeong!" Amala said pointing at them. I looked over to where she was pointing. There was two old guys with armor with flames on it, The Iroh guy had big sideburns, while Jeonny boy had a skinny beard and moustache. Iroh looked nice, but Jeonny didn't seem like he liked anyone.

"Who are the kids with them?" I asked. The kids were both boys, both of them looking about three or four years older then me.

"The one with Prince Iroh is his son, Prince Luten. I don't know the other boy is."

I looked over I Luten. He seemed like a nice fun loving guy. But I knew it was only a matter of time before he lost his innocence and became a hard-ass ruler. Man, I'm depressing. I was about to rant on some more, went I felt someone coming.

"Amala, we need to go." I said grabbing her hand. I quickly dragged her into an empty tent, then waited till the guard past by.

"Is it safe to go back out?" Amala asked.

I was about to answer when I felt more people coming this was. Damnit, they were coming towards the tent. I quickly scanned the area and saw a crate. "Come on," I said as we hid behind the box. It was in front of a side of the tent so we could sneak out if we had to. I put my hand over Amala's mouth as Iroh, Jeong Jeong, Luten, and that other kid walked in.

"What do you think of the new recruits Captain Jeong Jeong?" Prince Iroh asked.

"They seem weak and untrained." was the response. "But with some proper training they can become decent soldiers."

Iroh smiled, "Glad to hear it. Now who's up for some..."

"Captain Jeong Jeong, Prince Iroh, the soldiers who were guarding the front gate are knocked out." A soldier said running into the tent. "We believe whoever did it may have entered the base."

"WHAT?" Jeong Jeong shouted, clearly outraged. "Have everyone search the base for the intruders. Once you find them, bring them back here!"

"Yes sir!"

"Luten, Zhao, stay here." Iroh order the young boys, "These intruders may be dangerous." Then the two older men left the tent.

Amala gave looked at me with eyes that asked 'now what?'

I had no idea. My first thought was just to wait and hope that they stopped looking for us. My next thought was just to attack everyone until we found Amala's brother, have them say their good-byes then leave. The problem with the first one was that I would bored real fast. The other plan worried me because Amala could get hurt during the the fighting.

"So who do you think the intruder is?" Luten asked the boy who's name we now knew was Zhao.

"I think there's more than one," Zhao said. "There's no way only one person could knock out two of our guards without anyone knowing."

Oh, how wrong he is.

"What do you think the intruders wants?" Luten asked. "Theres not really anything anything here, it's just a place they train the new recruits."

"I'm not sure Prince Luten," Zhao said. "I don't even know how someone could from one of the other nations could get here with out being noticed."

I was so busy listening to what they were saying, that I didn't notice that Amala was looking around in my bag. She pulled out Shigure's dog doll and looked at it. Then, for some reason or another, she squeeze the doll, then it barked. I looked at her, eyes wide as to say, 'What the hell!'

She mouthed a sorry, and I sat there hoping that they didn't hear it.

"What was that?"

Damn.

I knew they were coming towards the box. My only options were to go outside and fight off all the guards that were running around, or just fight these two. I decided to fight the two boys. I didn't want them to find Amala, so I just walked out from behind the box.

"Hey guys," I said putting a sucker in my mouth, "Whats Up?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lil'Pup: Well they found Shizuru. Whats she going to do now? What are Luten and Zhao going to do with her? Will Amala find her brother? Will Aglaia and the others find Shizuru before something happens? Why am I asking you all these questions?
