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

Asa and Kasai were walking down the forest road back to Asa village. Kasai walks down looking at the sky. "I wonder if I should tell her…... but her reaction will be like everyone else's. Ok I'll keep it secret then!" They walk until the reach back to the village. Then something strange happens. People of their village went back into their houses. Some people grab their children and head for their houses.

This confused Asa. "What is going on? Why is everyone going into their houses all of a sudden?" Kasai looked around; it was no one in sight. He had an idea of what was going on and why everyone is acting strange, but he kept it to himself.

"Asa, I think I should get going." Said Kasai. Asa was confused on what was going on, and now Kasai wants to leave. But why he wants to leave so quickly? "Kasai what is going on?" she asked.

Kasai tried to think of a lie "nothing, its just…….."

"It's just what?" Asa asked

"It just I got to get going, I can't stay in one place." Kasai voice gotten into a sadder tone "not with the life I have….."

"Kasai…..what is going?" Asa asked. She was starting to worry what was wrong with him. Although this is a person that she had just met, her nature of taking care of people cause her to concern for Kasai. "Kasai, if it's something you want me to know, you can tell me."

Kasai didn't want to tell, he was afraid that if he told her what was wrong. She would be like everyone else than he has met. "I can't….sorry."

"It's ok, you don't have to tell me I…" before Asa could finish what she was going to say, she was interrupted by a familiar voice. "ASA!" the voice yelled. Kasai looked forward while Asa turned around to see who was calling her. When she turned around she saw her brother and the men of the village (lets say about 7) coming towards them.

Asa tries to talk to her brother to see what's going on. "Brother, what is going on? Why is everon-." Suddenly, Hikari grab her wrist and pulled her away from Kasai so she can be closer to him. "Asa, go back to the house." Said Hikari

"But brother-."

"JUST GO!!!!" Hikari screamed at the top of the lungs. Asa was taking back by this, her brother never screamed to her like that. She didn't want to leave, but if it caused her brother to scream like that at her, then she had no choice. She did what her brother ordered and went to the house. Once she got there she peeked through her cloth door to see what was going on.

The men of the village surrounded Kasai. All of their eyes especially, Hikari look like they had the intent to kill. In fact some of the men had big hammers in their hands. Hikari walked up toward Kasai. "So is their something you not telling us Kasai?"

Although Kasai already knew what he was not telling them, he acted like he didn't know. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh I think you do, it's about you being part of a certain 'Class' and part of a certain nation."

One man held hit hammer tighter. "I can take this anymore!! I say we take him out now, right men?" the rest of the villagers men agreed and also held their hammers tighter.

"What is going on? Why do you guys want to strike me down?" Kasai asked. Now he was getting scared. He was about to be either badly beaten, maybe even killed by the villagers and Hikari. Hikari took a fighting stance, "I may not be a very good earth bender, but I will not let a threat come to my village!!"

"STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!!!" yelled a voice. The men and Hikari turned around, to see who gave the commanding voice. It was one of the elders, the female one. She gave the commanding voice. The villagers and Hikari got on their knees, "Elders, please let us take care of thi-."

"Silence Hikari!!" the woman elder yelled. What do you think killing him brings you, happiness?!"

Hikari put his head down, "sorry, elder. I let my feelings get the best of me." The elder's cautioned speaking towards the rest of the men. "The same goes for you guys. I want all of you to go back to your huts!" the men nod their heads and went back to their huts, Leavening the woman elder and Kasai by themselves.

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

Hikari walk through his hut, Asa who was watching and listening to what was going on outside, was furious that Hikari and the other villagers. "Hikari, What were you guys thinking?! What were you going to do to Kasai?!"

Hikari sat on the stone couch. "That's none of your businesses just know that he is dangerous and you should stay away from him."

"He's dangerous!?" Asa yelled. "You lead a gang to go and kill a person you just met; you're the one who dangerous!"

"I have my reason."

Asa was still unconvinced. "What reason do you have!? He is just someone who needs help, and you try to hurt him! Why Hikari, why did you try to attack him!?"

"BECAUSE HE IS THE AVATAR!!!!!" Hikari yelled

It was silence in the room; Asa was shock by what her brother had said. "w-what did you say?"

"You heard me. He is the avatar, the elders told me, and the elder have never been wrong about anything. And if he is the Avatar that means he is fire nation, that's why I wanted to attack him."

Asa was now really pissed. Not because Kasai didn't tell her that he was fire nation and that he is the Avatar, but because she knew that her brother had another reason for wanting to attack and maybe even kill him.

"You still blame him, do you?" she asked.

"Eh, what are you talking about?"

"You know damn well what I'm talking about." Asa voices then gets louder. "You still blame him for their deaths, don't you?" it was silent, Hikari did not answer her. Asa knew she was right. He wanted to attack him for his own hated towards the avatar and the fire nation.

"I can't believe you Hikari; you're willing to attack the world's only hope of peace for you own selfish reasons?!" Asa yelled.

Hikari stood up. "Asa you know damn well that it's is not selfish, I remember a time you wanted him dead as well!"

"But I don't want him dead! He is the only hope for this world, fire nation or not." Asa thinks back to the time she and Kasai were in the meadow talking. She remembers exactly what Kasai had said to her about the avatar helping the fire nation.

Flashback

"Don't worry, the avatar is good. He won't go and do something as stupid as join the fire nation in the war just because he is fire nation"

"You sure?" Asa asked.

Kasai smiles. "I promise you he won't"

End of flashback.

"I don't care if he is Fire nation or not, HE IS STILL THE AVATAR!!!!" Asa stormed out of the hut to outside. She didn't want to be by her brother right now. Kasai was the one she wanted to talk to right now. Hikari didn't stop her; he stood in the hut looking around.

"Sister, please understand. The pain his country caused me and you. It's unbearable, you might have forgiven him, but I haven't."

Asa was outside looking for Kasai; the only problem was that he wasn't outside anymore.

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

Kasai was inside the Elders huts. The woman elder had invited him into her huts for tea. The elders were in their chairs with tea on their laps. Kasai was sitting on a cloth on the floor with a cup sipping on a cup of tea.

"How do you like it?" ask the first male elder.

"It's very delicious, although I must say its need a little more sweetness to it." Kasai replied.

The second elder started to laugh. "It seems like you still need work brother."

The first elder just stared daggers at him and sip himself his own tea. The lady elder started to speak. "You told me your name is Kasai on the way over here, right?"

Kasai nods his head; the woman elder continues to speak. "Well, do you know why we called you here?" Kasai shakes his head sideways, telling them no. "We called you here to discuss your situation……….Avatar Kasai."

Kasai was shock. "so, you guys know who I' am?"

The first male elder spoke. "Yes, ever since Asa and Hikari brought you to the village, we been sensceing and huge amount of Chi. Once we got word from one of our villagers that you came into the village, we atomically knew who it was that came."

The second male elder spoke. "Avatar Kasai, as you know you must master all four elements of this world. Then you must defeat the fire lord to prevent him form taking over the world."

Kasai nods his head again. "I know. It's the same as what Avatar Aanng did 150 years back."

"I'm surprise you know your history, not a lot of avatars usually know about the avatars before they were born."

"Lets just say I've been informed about my past lives" Kasai smiled.

"Kasai….." spoke the female elder. "For quite some time we sense another one with extronaidany Chi heading for our chi. the difference is that this Chi is dark and evil."

Kasai had interrupted. "Yes I know I also know who he is. He is extremely powerful, and I been on the run from him."

"Kasai, I'm sorry. But we must ask you to leave this village, for the safety of our people."

Kasai nods his head. He didn't ague about leavening. He knew this was coming, for it happen at every village he stays at, they find out he is fire nation and he has to leave for the safety of the people.

"Right, I understand. I'll leave as soon as I leave this hut, I'll immediately leave the village." Kasai stands and bows towards the elders showing them respect. "Thank you for the tea" Kasai turns around and walks out of the hut.

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

Outside Kasai is at the road that leads to the woods. He is ready to leave the place when suddenly he hears a voice. "Kasai!!!!" the voice called out. Kasai turns around to see who it is that's calling the voice. He sees Asa standing in front of him with a worried look on her face.

"Oh, Asa………" Kasai tries to think of a lie. "Listen, I'm going to leave to look for my lemur. You know I can't go back to my home without-"

"Kasai…" Asa interrupted. "Are you the avatar?"

Kasai wanted to say no, but he seen the worries in her eyes. He knew that she knew he is the avatar. He could not lie to her. "Yes….I 'am the avatar." Asa let out a small gasp, "so that means….."

"Yes, I'm fire nation as well."

"Why didn't you tell me? Is it because your fire nation?"

"Maybe, I really don't know. Maybe because if I told you, you would act like everyone else. Treat me wrong because I come from an evil nation."

"But I won't, I know for a fact that you're good."

"How? We just met today."

"Because you told me you're self that you wouldn't, you told me that the Avatar won't turn heel for the people of this world, and I believe that. Kasai, you are good."

Kasai smiled; it's been a while since someone called him good. "Thanks, but that still don't change the fact I have to leave."

"Why do you have to leave?" Asa asked

"Because a certain someone is looking for me, the elders told me that he is close by so I got to change places quick."

"Who is he?"

"He just someone the fire nation decided to capture me. I fought him before and he is really strong. That why I have to leave, so he won't hurt your people because of me."

Kasai turns around facing the direction of the forest. "Well Asa, I guess this is goodbye." Asa stared at Kasai. "Goodbye" she said softly.

"Wait, wait, wait, I hate saying goodbye. Let just leave it as…….a see ya later!" said Kasai

Asa smiled. "Ok, see ya later Kasai."

Kasai turns around and starts walking into the forest. Thoughts run through his head. "You know its funny, even though we just met and I barely know the girl. I will kind of miss her."

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

Meanwhile, the fire Nation group that is hunting Kasai is closing in on the village.

"Commander Zho-ren, we are appormixly 3 hours away from the village were the avatar is currently staying at."

"Good, once we get there integrate the villagers. If they deny the Avatar is around their. Torture them until they confess."

"But sir, what if the Avatar wasn't there?"

"Oh well, this is a war after all. Who cares if you accidentally kill a bunch of villagers? Our top priority is to Capture or kill the Avatar, No matter what, now on onward to the village."

"Yes sir!"
