A/N: Hey guys, my computer screen busted recently so I had to get an external screen for it, so that's why I wasn't updating.

All OC's accounted for! Hey, guys, thanks for all the help on here!

Shout out to WarriorServent, wolf fang x1, Blacklightning97, and xxxHeatedBubblexxx for the awesome OC's.

Oh, and I'm introducing Toph in this chapter. Don't give me a hard time, but I'm making her fourteen instead of twelve. That is all.

...

Senshi and Kikyo were both bound with their hands behind their backs, pushed down the gangplank of the Earth Kingdom ship. There was a carriage down at the end of the dock, waiting for them.

"Where the hell are we going?" Senshi demanded. He was rewarded with a smack to the back of the head.

"Keep moving, Fire Nation scum." Racist Bastard said.

'Fuck this.' Thought Senshi. He head butted the man, quickly spinning around to kick him in the balls. When the man went to his knees, Senshi brought his foot up, dropping it onto the back of his head, slamming it to the ground. The second man that ran at him got a drop kick to the face, breaking his nose. When he recovered, Senshi's knee made its way to his eye, knocking him unconscious. Senshi would have kept going, if it weren't for earth shackles that suddenly caught him, freezing his movement. The last thing he saw was a very large, very burly fist flying into his face.

POV CHANGE: KIKYO

Kikyo was having a hard time not finding the young Fire Nation prince attractive. He was handsome, strong, funny, and intelligent. Not only that, but he took down two earth-benders in the space of thirty seconds. With his hands tied behind his back. Now that's impressive. It's too bad that she was going to kill him. Or she would let him live and keep him as a pet... That one sounds much better...

POV CHANGE: SENSHI

When Senshi woke up, he was in shackles, tied to a post.

"This is getting oddly comfortable." The disgraced prince said to himself with a rueful smile on his face.

"I know what you mean." Said Kikyo. Looking around, Senshi saw that they were in a large tent, of some sorts, and noticed that Kikyo and himself were both out of uniform. They were wearing some kind of servants garb, but more revealing than the boy would have liked. The uniform that Senshi was wearing had a shirt that felt a size too small, and the slacks hugged him in... Uncomfortable areas. The gown that Kikyo wore could have been mesh material, and left little to the imagination. Senshi blushed when he caught the direction that his eyes were moving in. Kikyo saw this and smirked.

"See anything you like, your highness?" The older woman asked. Senshi shook his head furiously, looking away. Kikyo frowned, taking this the wrong way. 'What, doesn't he find me attractive?' She asked herself.

Suddenly, the front of the tent was pulled away, revealing a large crowd of people standing in what appeared to be a courtyard. A man stepped forward, and Senshi recognized him as one of the people the "rescued" him from the North Pole.

"Hello, citizens of Gaoling!" The man shouted. "It's good to be back, and with a special surprise! Two Fire Nation soldiers!" Kikyo was pushed to the front, and forced to turn. "Take a gander at this wonderful specimen! At the age of twenty-eight, she still has the figure and assets of a twenty-year-old!" She was pushed back into her seat. Senshi was then un chained, pulled to his feet and pushed forward to glare at the crowd. He would not bow to these people. He would stand tall, with his head heald high. "And here, ladies and gentlemen, is a fine example of Fire Nation breeding. Rescued from the shores of the North Pole, he was a soldier that survived the failed assault of the Northern Water Tribe-" Senshi flinched. Did they really need to bring that up? It was still a sore subject- "look at his perfect posture! Strong arms and back. The only damage he seemed to have taken is a burn to his left arm, so he was most likely a deserter." The Earth Kingdom man said loudly. "They will be sold together, if you want one, you buy both! Any questions?" One woman raised her hand.

"Why is the man held down so tightly?" She asked. The announcer motioned for two of the guards to walk forward. Senshi recognized them as the guards he practiced on earlier.

"He is rather dangerous." The announcer answered simply. Senshi smirked, thinking that no one would want to buy them now, but it had the opposite to the desired affect. Apparently, people prefer body guards that can really fuck somebody up.

"We will start the bidding at... Ten gold coins!" The announcer shouted. People started crowding around, placing their bids, until a voice sounded from the back.

"Fifty gold coins!" The voice shouted. Everyone quieted down t the ammount.

"Fifty, going once, twice, SOLD! To Mister Beifong! Congratulations on your new servants, sir!" Senshi and Kikyo were both pushed to the back of the crowd and forced into yet another carriage, but this one was noticeably biger, and much more comfortable than the last. The only other people inside were a guard, and what appeared to be an Earth Kingdom noble.

"You seem confidant." Said Senshi with a raised brow. The man smiled kindly at him.

"I just don't think that you're the kind of man to try and kill somebody that is not your enemy." He said. "My name is Lao Beifong. It is a pleasure to meet you both." Senshi looked at him for a moment before smiling.

"I'm Senshi, and this is Kikyo." Senshi said, motioning to the woman next to him. Lao nodded, but raised an eyebrow.

"Are you really a deserter?" He asked.

"No." Was all He said. Lao nodded. He respected a mans privacy.

"You do know why I bought you, right?"

"Something about your blind daughter, right?" Senshi asked. Lao nodded.

"She needs a guard, and I'm not sure that I trust any of the men here to do it." Lao answered.

"So you're going to trust a complete stranger? You do know that I'm ex-Fire Nation, right?" Senshi deadpanned.

"You seem more trustworthy than most of the men in Gaoling." Said Lao. "I'm sure you will do fine." Senshi looked over to Kikyo, whom has been silent until now.

"What do you think about this?" He asked. She shrugged.

"Got nothin' else to do. Not like we can just go home." Answered Kikyo. Senshi was unaware of her actual thoughts.

'I wonder what he would look like with a collar...' She thought about it for a moment, before a slight blush and somewhat sadistic smile grew on her face. Yeah. She liked that idea.

"So... Will you do it?" Lao asked. Senshi sighed.

"Yeah, I guess." Senshi answered. Lao was about to shake his hand, but Senshi stopped him. "On one condition. I want Kikyo to have full freedom to come and go as she pleases." Lao nodded.

"That's fair, but you must be in my daughters company at all times, in order to protect her."

"You're kind of over-protective, aren't you?" Asked Senshi.

"I love my daughter." Lao defended himself. Senshi nodded.

The carriage came to a halt outside of a large estate. It was HUGE! Senshi would have been impressed, if he hadn't spent half his life in a palace. There were four park-like sections, split off from each other by four large paths, that intersected in the middle of the huge lawn. Lao led Senshi and Kikyo down the huge path that ended at an even bigger manor. Some servants opened the door for them, and Lao and Senshi both stopped to allow Kikyo first entrance.

"How gentlemanly of you two." Kikyo smiled, her eyes slightly lingering on Senshi. 'A collar... And maybe leather pants... He looked rather cute in those shackles...'

"This way." Said Lao. "I want you to meet my wife, Poppy, and see what she thinks of you."

Lao led them down a long hallway, and came out into a large room, not unlike the throne room back at the palace. There were three throne-like seats at the end of the room. Sitting in one of them was a beautiful woman that must have been Poppy. Poppy smiled at her husband, and then her eyes fell on the newcomers.

"Dear, who are these people, and why are they wearing such... Revealing clothes?" The woman asked with a slightly nervous smile. Lao pointed at Kikyo.

"I bought her as a new servant to help with the cleaning." Poppy nodded. Lao pointed to Senshi. "And I bought him for Toph." Poppy blanched, obviously taking that the wrong way. She looked at Senshi.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm sure that my husband paid good money for you, but we will not be needing your services." Poppy said, worriedly. Senshi laughed at that.

"I'm not a professional sex toy, if that's what you're thinking." Senshi said. There was an almost inaudible squeak from Kikyo. Poppy sighed, visibly relaxing. "Mr. Beifong here hired me to protect your daughter."

"Ummm. Are you sure that that's a good idea, Lao?" The woman asked. Lao nodded.

"He is a trained soldier, dear. I've seen what he did to his former handlers." Lao answered.

"Handlers? You mean he was sold against his will?" Poppy asked. "What makes you think he won't try to harm Toph in an attempt to escape." Senshi suddenly took a knee before the woman, bowing his head before her, with his right arm up on his other knee."

"Madam Beifong, I give my word that as long as the conditions that I spoke about with Master Beifong earlier are met, no harm will come to your daughter." Senshi said, going into 'Royal Mode.' Poppy was surprised by his sudden show of manners. This man definately isn't just some ruffian off the streets.

"Well, I suppose if Lao trusts you..." Poppy looked at Senshi, seeing him in a new light. Senshi smiled at her.

"Thank you for trusting me." Said Senshi. He looked to Lao. "I'm going to need a sword." Lao coughed at that, his features getting slightly pale.

"What would you need such a weapon for?" Lao asked. "I thought you were a bender."

"Well, I am, but that's not why I was such a high-ranking officer." Said Senshi. "Honestly, my bending is a little better than a student, even if I can use an excess of it. My true strength is in my swordsmanship." Lao looked to his wife, but nodded.

"Is there anything special about this sword?" Senshi smiled. The only thing that the Earth Kingdom boaters didn't sell was the necklace that Ursa gave him for his birthday, so long ago. He wore it, even now, and he would destroy anyone that dared try to take it from him.

"Well, the blade is normal length for a katana, maybe a little longer, no guard, and the handle is about two feet long." Senshi described.

"That will take some time to make." Said Lao. "But it shouldn't be a problem. What about coloring? Would you like any engravings on the blade?" Senshi thought about it.

"How about... Nōburu misute rareta honō?" Asked Senshi. Lao nodded to his servant to carry it out.

"Come, I shall introduce you to Toph." Lao motioned for Senshi to follow him. "Kikyo, you are to be at the maid's quarters in half an hour. I trust that is time for you to find it." He dragged Senshi out of the room without waiting for an answer. They walked down a series of halls until they came to a door at the end of one. Lao knocked quietly.

"Who is it?" Came the voice of what seemed to be a young girl.

"I brought you someone to meet, honey. Can you please let us in?" Lao asked of the girl. After a moment of shuffling feet, the door opened, revealing a girl of about, maybe fourteen. She had black hair that covered her eyes, and a green kimono with white flowers on it. She was pretty, at least in Senshi's opinion. She almost looked fragile, but the seasoned soldier could tell that this was just an act.

"Who's this?" Toph asked, rudely.

"His name is Senshi." Said Lao. "From now on, he will be your personal servant." Senshi narrowed his eyes at the man. Servant? What the hell happened to 'Bodyguard?' Lao began to shrink under the death-glare. "I'll, uhm, just let you two get acquainted." Lao slinked out of the room, leaving the two teens in a state of awkward silence.

"So..." Said Senshi, attempting to start a conversation.

"How much did my father pay you." Asked Toph, suddenly. Senshi noticed that the girl looked straight ahead of her, as if she were... blind. Now it made sense! The reason why Lao was so desperate to get a guard for Toph was to keep her from stumbling into someone that could hurt her. Lao may be overprotective, but he was a good, caring father.

"Well, he paid my handlers fifty gold, along with a new maid." Senshi answered.

"Wait. Handlers? You mean you were sold like an animal?" She asked. Senshi shrugged.

"Happens all the time. It just happened to be me this time." Senshi answered. "So, what do you want to do with your new servant." Toph thought about that. It used to be that she could not leave the grounds unless she had her father or mother there with her, but now that she has Senshi, she could leave whenever she wanted. As long as he was with her, it was like an all access hall pass.

"I want to go to town." She said. Senshi nodded.

"Can I change into something else first, Mistress Beifong?" Senshi asked. "When my handlers had me on display, they were probably planning on selling me to a... Lonely woman." Toph stared at Senshi blankly for a minute. Then, her cheeks puffed out as she tried to hold in her laughter. She couldn't hold it, and she fell on the ground, rolling around in her mirth.

"OH MAN! THAT'S GREAT! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She yelled. Senshi's left eyebrow twitched. Odd, it's never done that before. He certainly hoped he wasn't developing a habit. She calmed down, and looked at him with that wide smile still on her face. "Naw, I think I wanna know how some of the women of Gaoling will react." Senshi stared at her for a moment.

"You're a little shit, y'know that?" Toph laughed, walking by him to get to the door. She slugged him on the shoulder on her way by.

"Yeah, I know." She told him.

OMAKE: The Authors adventures: Part One: The Bad Situation.

Colin E. Chambers(Don't ask what the E stands for, because he won't answer you.) is one of the worlds greatest problem solvers, next to Batman, of course. Him and his nephew, Zac, were an unstoppable team, but the situation they found themselves in right now was a definite problem. They were hanging upside down, back-to-back over a pool full of liquid nitrogen. It started out as such a peaceful day, too!

Colin was a young man. He had black hair, a nice tan, and hazel eyes. At the age of seventeen, Colin was a new, up-and-coming hero. They started calling him the Vision, for his uncanny ability to "See" what happens at a crime scene. The power has it's flaws, such as the inability to see who perpetrator of the crime was, but he is able to pick up good clues from seeing the crime take place in person. His uniform consisted of a detectives suit, a fedora, and a cloth mask that covers his entire face, except for two small eye holes he cut in it. His nephew, Zac, was known as Spinout, for his power to spin so fast, he could generate tornadoes. his suit is a basketball uniform with a tornado on it. His mask was just a bandana he put two slits in for the eyes. His hair was dark brown, and his eyes were the same color. They do their heroing in a large town called Zip City.

The pair had gotten a call from an old source(seriously, the guy's like eighty) that used to be on the force. He told them that a pair of young women broke into the Zip City museum the night before, and that they needed to be caught. Colin, the hero wanna be that he is, volunteered as the vision to track these girls down. He saw how they broke into the museum and what they stole. He already knew their faces because of all the eyewitness reports. He'd heard of these girls before, but why come to Zip?

They were twins. Allegedly, that is. The first, and meanest of the twins, is a redheaded girl that goes by the alias: She Devil. She had fire based powers, and a sweet tooth for rubies. A ruby themed costume adorned her shapely figure, while a ruby red domino mask hid her identity, and fake devil horns sat atop her head. Her sister was said to be much nicer. Her alias was Crystal Spells, and she used ice 'magic.' She had blue-white hair that cascaded down her back. While her sister loved rubies, she was rather fond of diamonds. She wore a costume similar to her sisters, but white. She wore a diamond covered domino mask.

Colin was having a hell of a time getting out of the ropes, and the fact that his partner was out cold didn't help matters. Things got even worse when the two beautiful criminals walked into the room.

"Well, well, well. What have we here? A super-douche and his side-bitch." Said She Devil, mockingly.

"Quite the vocabulary, miss." Said Colin. "Tell me, do you have to stop after four syllables, or just three?" Colin asked, not one to be topped by a thief. She Devil glared at him, and Crystal giggled at his antics. Devil suddenly smiled at him, getting waaaaay too close.

"I wonder what you look like under the mask..." The girl reached up to pull the mask down, but suddenly, there was an explosion at the entrance, and the Batman came sailing into the room. The girl glared at the veteran hero. She almost seemed disappointed. "We'll finish this next time."

"Count on it." Said Colin. She Devil did something that surprised him. She kissed him on the cheek, and the kiss almost seemed to burn straight through the mask... Wait, it did. Oh shit.

The girls escaped, and Batman cut down Colin and Zac. Zac woke up moments later with a bewildered look on his masked face.

"What the hell happened?" Zac asked.

"You got knocked the fuck out." Colin deadpanned.

"Why is there a burn on your mask?" Wondered Zac.

"Don't ask."

"Vision. Spinnout. How did you get captured so easily?" Asked Batman.

"I fell in a hole, and King Woman Chaser over there got hit over the head." Answered Colin. Batman sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"How are you supposed to be good heroes if you get captured by a couple of amateurs?" The Dark Knight asked.

"Hey, I don't need you scolding me!" Said Colin.

'Time for me to go, before they start another one of their arguments.' Thought Zac, quickly making his escape.

"If I don't scold you, whose going to keep you from getting killed?" Asked Batman.

"Why don't you ask Jason." Said Colin. Batman froze, shocked that his former protege would go after such a sore wound. Colin growled at his former friend. "Forget this. I'm out of here." Colin made his way to the door.

"Colin, I-"

"Save it, Bruce. It's not worth the time." Colin suddenly vanished, leaving the long-time hero to think on the last hurtful words from so long ago.

"You killed Jason! It's your fault!"

Those last words were burnt into his memory, and if anyone were preasent, they would have seen a small tear go down his cheek.
