K people… This is chapter 11 or my story… and so yah.

I hope this won't be a waste of time…

Naomi sat down, her back to Zuko. "I don't want to do this anymore. I don't need to learn anyway. I can just carry my catbunny around everywhere I go until I die," Naomi said, hugging her knees.

"Well then you might as well make yourself useful while you're here. Can you cook?" Zuko asked, crossing his arms.

"Not well," Naomi mumbled.

"Can you wash clothes, build stuff, anything?" Zuko practically yelled impatiently.

"No, I can't. I'm just a kid."

"Well then at least tell me why you have freakishly red eyes," Zuko yelled.

"It has something to do with ocular albinism. My eyes are red as if I'm albino, but the rest of me is normal," Naomi said impatiently. Zuko gave her a weird look that she ignored.

Aang paced around in large circles, his mind flooding with thoughts about Naomi. He was wondering where she was, and if it was a bad idea to let Sokka do all of the talking. He shook his head, finally sitting down after standing up for what seemed like an hour at least. Aang buried his face in his hands, sighing. He shouldn't care about Naomi. What did she ever do for him? Even if she could have taught him fire bending, maybe Sokka was right. She could have done something to get Aang even closer to his doom with the Fire Lord. Aang leaned against Appa's soft fur coat, staring up at the clear sky blankly. Katara walked over to Aang quietly and sat down next to him.

"You alright, Aang? You have been awfully quiet lately," Katara said.

"I'm fine. I just have a lot of thoughts going through my mind at the moment," Aang said calmly.

"Hey, come on. Sokka, Toph, and I are going to go gather some food. Hoorah," Katara said sarcastically. "I'm sure if you come with us, it'll cheer you up a bit." Katara stuck her hand out to help Aang up. He grabbed it and stood up.

"Let's hope it does," Aang said, doing his best to smile. The gang walked through a forest, picking up everything that looked semi-edible. Toph paused, sticking her arms out, not allowing her friends to go by.

"Toph, what's wrong?" Katara asked, holding Aang's small, almost full bag.

"I feel somebody coming this way. I think it's Azula," Toph said in shock.

"You sure?" Sokka asked, crossing his arms.

"Yes, now run," Toph said impatiently, grabbing Sokka's arm and pulling him behind a thick bunch of trees. Aang and Katara followed quickly. They watched as Azula, Ty Lee, and Mei walked into view, Azula heading the group. "See? I was right," Toph whispered quietly. Sokka nudged her with his elbow.

"Are you sure you saw Zuko here?" Ty Lee asked, searching up and down the trees surrounding the group.

"Why are you wondering? Do you doubt me, Ty Lee?" Azula asked, not even glancing at her friend.

"Uh, no, but it doesn't seem like we are doing any good looking through here. It's like a jungle! What if we never find him and all of this searching is for nothing?"

"I agree. We have been here forever. I don't think Zuko's dumb enough to hide in here for more than a day," Mei said. Ty Lee grinned, winking at Mei.

"You like him. I know you do, Mei," Ty Lee whispered when Azula had her back turned. Mei rolled her eyes, barely blushing.

"Come on girls, we'll just have to look somewhere else," Azula said, crossing her arms and heading between her two friends to her mongoose dragon.

"This is bad," Aang said after making sure he was out of earshot from Azula and the others.

"What's bad?" Sokka asked, leaning against a tree. "This is great. They didn't spot us. In fact, I think Azula's heading in the opposite direction from us."

"They are heading towards Zuko. Naomi's with Zuko," Aang said, covering his face with his hands, trying to keep calm.

"So? If Azula captures her, she will be right where she belongs: With the fire nation," Sokka said, nodding.

"No, she will be right where she doesn't belong: In a prison cell, and knowing Azula, she might not even get that far."

"What do you mean by that?" Katara asked.

"Azula will probably kill her. The only reason she didn't when we first met Naomi was probably because she didn't have the time," Aang said impatiently. "Let's just get going. I don't care if she is a spy for the fire nation. I'll take my chances." Aang ran the way they came from and came upon Appa, who was eating from a large pack of tall grass. Aang climbed on the bison, sitting on Appa's head. The others sat behind him on the saddle. "Appa, yip yip," Aang said. Appa flew up above the forest. They could see Azula and her gang. Aang made sure they stayed behind them and out of sight. He didn't want to get caught by Azula.

Naomi's catbunny stood up on its hind legs, sniffing the air. Its ears were perked up vertically, and its long, cat tail was twitching.

"Hey, what's wrong with it?" Zuko asked, staring at the catbunny.

"It smells something, stupid," Naomi said sternly, walking up to her pet. Zuko's hands started to glow, but Iroh gave him a look that told him to cool it. Naomi knelt down next to her catbunny and scratched behind its ear. "What do you smell, Lucky?"

"You named it? Why did you name it Lucky?" Zuko questioned.

"What is this, an interrogation or something?" Naomi asked. "And of course I named it. Who doesn't name their pet?"

"Yah, but why did you name it Lucky?"

"None of your business," Naomi said, rolling her eyes. She focused back onto her catbunny. It went back onto its four paws and hissed. Naomi looked up and saw Azula, Mei, and Ty Lee. "Aw crud."

"Zuzu, I wasn't expecting to find you this quickly. Although, it is obvious you wouldn't use your time wisely to run away," Her gaze landed upon Naomi. She clenched her fists, but her voice stayed calm. "So, is she a prisoner, or what?" she asked Zuko. He ignored her. "Then she's a friend, I suppose? It's not that odd to find two traitors together."

"He's definitely not my friend," Naomi mumbled, holding her catbunny in her arms. She looked up in the air, seeing a bison. "Aang!" Naomi yelled happily. Everybody else looked up in unison. Azula shot large bolts of lightning at Appa. Aang quickly steered Appa to the right, dodging the attack. Aang stood up, turning his staff into a glider and jumping off Appa, gliding through the air and onto the ground next to Naomi. Sokka quickly crawled to the reins, gripping them tightly in his hands and guiding Appa to land safely. Katara, Toph, and Sokka slid down Appa's side, sprinting to Aang's side. "Aang, you might want to keep an eye on your back," Naomi whispered. Aang looked behind him and saw Zuko eying him suspiciously. He turned and stepped back a few steps, able to see both Azula and Zuko.

"Well Avatar, you can either give up now and come with me without your friends being injured, or you can stay and fight. Either way, I'm sure this will be the day I capture you," Azula smirked, crossing her arms. Aang looked around at his friends. All eyes were on him.

Alright, I think I'm getting better at writing… If not, then just tell me… I'm working hard to take your suggestions and make my writing better. I'm sorry if some people are out of character, but one of the reasons they are, is because I haven't seen the show in a long time: Pretty much since the season finale… And a little after that, but still. Uh, whoever said that Azula was out of character and should have killed Naomi, I fixed that… er, I tried to, but still. This is a long chapter; I got a lot of writer blocks, so yah. It might not be as good as I thought, and I'm sorry if there are some mistakes… Alright, please

Review!!
