(Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up! I can't say I regret it though because I was on vacation! Whew! So, read and enjoy!)
Iroh shook his head, "Oh what have I gotten us into" he said looking up to the sky.
The rest of the night went by quickly, Ryoko had simply fallen asleep without even bothering to get under her blankets. Iroh had dowsed the fire after she had fallen asleep and then gone to bed. But Zuko stayed awake. He was worried that the fire nation soldiers would find them, so he stayed awake making sure that didn't happen.
Ryoko's eyes burst open. The dream she had been having moments before fading from her mind. It took her a moment to remember were she was but then the incidents that had happened that night before come flooding back into her mind.
She looked up from were she lay on the ground and saw Iroh already awake, attempting to make tea out of a flower. On the other side of the camp was Zuko leaning against a tree with his arms folded. He looked incredibly tired.
"You look awful" Ryoko said. Zuko just sent her a glare before turning away and pulling his stuff into his bag.
Iroh smiled at Ryoko. "Would you like some tea?" he asked with a smile holding up a cup of tea. "Uh, no thanks…I think we probably need to get going." She said, stuffing a few of her things into her bag and then throwing them over her shoulder.
"She's right uncle its time to go!" Said Zuko grabbing his uncle's arm and pulling him to his feet. "You need to learn to relax more" mumbles Iroh.
Ryoko headed off into the forest once again closely followed by Zuko and Iroh. It didn't take long for them to reach a village and when they did Ryoko quickly grabbed a large round hat at placed it on an incredibly annoyed Zuko. "What are you doing?" he hissed "Well we can't risk anyone recognizing you so lay low okay?" she said.
Zuko couldn't deny the logic in this and simply rolled his eyes.
They walked through the crowded streets Zuko holding his head down low Ryoko, who would stop every now and then as they passed a window causing Zuko to walk into her every time. "Would you watch out?" He snapped at her after the forth time this happened. Ryoko was about to reply when she felt a hand grip her shoulder.
She looked around and found her face only two inches away from an annoyed looking Fire nation soldier. "Have you seen these people?" He asked holding up a poster. On this poster where the picture of Zuko and Iroh.
Ryoko swallowed. "Yes! I have seen them!" She said quickly. She herd Zuko gasp suddenly from behind her. "They were headed up the river and into the central Fire Nation." She lied quickly trying to lead the man off.
"Right!" said the man quickly before turning and running off. "For a second I thought your were going to tell them were we were" said Zuko once Ryoko had turned around. "Oh coarse not, I'm trying to escape to remember?" Ryoko grinned at him.
Iroh found his way over to wear Ryoko and Zuko were standing. "So, what's the plan?" He whispered, coming in closer to the two teens.
Ryoko glanced at Zuko, but he apparently had absolutely no idea what to do. "Well…I was thinking, and it seems our best bet would be to slip onto one of the ships," she began. "We'll become part of the crew, I'll be a maid." She said. Zuko's eye's widened. "We'll be on a ship with probably fifty Fire Nation shoulders, and you think they wont recognize me?" Ryoko thought about this a moment. "Well, its not like no one else has a scar…plus you cut your hair" she pointed out. "You'll just have to lay low.
"Its our only choice it seems." Said Iroh quickly before Zuko could say anything else. "Fine…we'll get ready to go tomorrow"
