The Golden Wolf Warrior

Chapter 5: The Warriors of Kyoshi

Note: It took me longer to work on this chapter because I've been sick with the cold when writing it. Lots of headaches, nose running, etc. But I kept pressing on to finish it.

Disclaimer: Disclaimer from Prologue still applies.


"What was that thing?" Katara asked while Aang started putting his clothes back on.

"I don't know."

"Well, let's not stick around and find out. Time to hit the road." Sokka ordered

Suddenly five green clad warriors appeared all grabbing them and covering their eyes before they had a chance to see who was attacking them. It wasn't long before all of them were bound and blindfolded.

"Or we could stay a while…" Sokka suggested in defeat.

Azula and the others were guided through a path. She was tempted to use her firebending to get out of this mess but decided against it since they were on an Earth Kingdom island. Suddenly she felt something slammed into the back of her knees forcing to kneel on the ground still being held down by someone as well.

"You four have some explaining to do." A man said forcefully.

"And if you don't answer all our questions, we're throwing you back in the water to the unagi." A woman threatened.

Sokka was angry. "Show yourselves, cowards!" He shouted.

The darkness of the blindfold was removed causing the sudden sunlight to blind Azula. She quickly closed her eyes and slowly opened them as they adjusted to the light. When she finally opened them fully she saw four women dressed in green with white face paint and red over their eyes staring at her friends. Azula looked behind her to see one of the females in the same garb as the other four was holding her down.

The male warrior began straining against his binds. "Who are you? Where are the men who ambushed us?"

One of the girls stepped forward shaking her fist at the boy. "There were no men. We ambushed you. Now tell us, who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Wait a second, there's no way that a bunch of girls took us down." Sokka laughed in disbelief.

The girl who was shaking her fist, who Azula assumed was the leader of the group of girls in green, grabbed hold of Sokka's collar. "A bunch of girls, huh? The unagi's gonna eat well tonight."

"No, don't hurt him!" Katara responded quickly. "He didn't mean it! My brother is just an idiot sometimes."

"Most of the time." Azula mumbled to herself. Causing the female who was holding her down to chuckle.

"It's my fault. I'm sorry we came here." Aang apologized. "I wanted to ride the elephant koi."

The old man pointed accusingly towards Aang. "That's hard to believe. You're obviously Fire Nation spies." The female warrior who was holding Azula down jerked the firebender to her feet. "How stupid do you think we are? This girl is obviously from the Fire Nation.

"The gold eyes and pale skin." The old man was now staring at Azula. "Kyoshi stayed out of the war so far. And we intend to keep it that way."

"This island is named for Kyoshi? I know Kyoshi!" Aang exclaimed.

"Ha! How could you possibly know her?" The old man asked. "Avatar Kyoshi was born here four hundred years ago. She's been dead for centuries."

Aang looked down at the ground quickly thinking of his response and then looked at the old man. "I know her because I'm the Avatar."

All the warriors and the old man looked at Aang in shock.

"That's impossible!" The warrior leader retorted while shaking her fist at Aang. "The last Avatar was an airbender who disappeared a hundred years ago."

"That's me!"

The old man was irritated. "Throw the imposter to the unagi! And take the Fire Nation spy away for interrogation!"

Each of the warriors took a fighting stance while pulling out two fans each. The warrior who was holding Azula began pushing the firebender away from the group.

"Aang… do some airbending." Both Katara and Azula told the airbender.

The female warriors kept approaching the pole as Azula continued being pushed away. Aang easily broke out of his bonds shooting himself into the air, he backflipped over the statue of Avatar Kyoshi and gracefully landed on the ground receiving a bunch of "oohs" and "ahhs" from the villagers. The warriors stood in awe.

"It's true… you are the Avatar!" The man said in amazement.

"Please, I promise you that Azula is not a Fire Nation spy. I'll vouch for her." Aang defended.

The old man looked at Azula who was standing as if she wasn't tied up. "But she is a firebender correct?"

"Yes, I am. I'm not going to hide that fact, but I grew up in the Southern Water Tribe with Sokka and Katara." Azula explained. "Please believe us."

"Alright if the Avatar believes you are not a spy, we'll take his word. We really sorry for the inconvenience." The old man raised his hand.

The warriors immediately cut the rope that was binding the teens. The old man walked up to the group. "I'm Oyaji, the chief of Kyoshi Island."

"I'm Aang."

"Hello, my name is Katara."

"Azula. The grump here is Sokka." Azula introduced herself and her training partner.

Oyaji turned towards one of the female warriors. "Suki please show our honorary guests to the big house."

The girl who was questioning them earlier stepped forward shyly. Before gesturing them to follow her up the hill. "I'm really sorry about earlier. We're just protecting ourselves and the other villagers."

"It's completely understandable." Azula brushed off. "Though I think we may encounter more incidents like this in the future. So what are you and the other girls dressed in green supposed to be? Obviously you look a lot like Avatar Kyoshi did."

Katara walked behind Azula and Suki observing how the two female warriors easily started a conversation with each other. She hoped things would be like this wherever they go on their journey to the Northern Water Tribe.

"We're the Kyoshi Warriors. I know the name is very plain. But, we're honoring Avatar Kyoshi by being the warriors and the guardians of her island." Suki explained.

"Hey, the name doesn't sound to plain. Like you said it's to honor Avatar Kyoshi. Are you and the girls earthbenders, since Avatar Kyoshi was a bender?" Azula asked.

"No, no one in the village knows how to bend earth. Though we do implement the bending art motions into our fighting styles."

"That's cool. I'm surprised I never thought of using the bending forms for actual combat without bending. Katara, you and I should add that to your training session!" Azula looked back at the waterbender.

The waterbender smiled seeing how enthused the firebender was at teaching her to fight. They got a quick tour of the house before crashing for the night.

"Oh, Azula." Suki called to the firebender. Azula stepped out the bedroom she'd be sharing with Katara.

"Yes?"

"If you want you can train with the other warriors and I. Normally we don't teach outsiders, but we'll make an exception." Suki offered.

Azula was stunned for a while. "Yes! That would be great. When do you guys start training tomorrow?"

"A two hours after sun rise. See you tomorrow."

"Are you sure the information is accurate?"

"Yes sir. The Avatar has been spotted at Kyoshi Island."

"Good. Get the ship ready. Fire Lord Akuzo has granted him the mission of capturing the Avatar."

"Right away. Commander Zhao."

Like everyday Azula got up before anyone else and went to a place outside the village to practice her firebending along with the waterbending form. When she was walking back to the village she saw a couple of men starting to work on restoring the statue of Avatar Kyoshi.

As she passed the statue she stared at it getting the same strange feeling she had been getting since she met Aang. "Not another possible spiritual connection. What is going on?" She asked rhetorically.

When she entered the living room of the house she saw Katara and Aang sitting at the table and Sokka sitting off to the side. One of the villagers had just finished setting the food out.

"All right! Dessert for breakfast!" Aang cheered. "These people surely know how to treat an Avatar!"

He eagerly grabbed one of the pastries from the tray and took a big bite. "Mmm… Katara you've got to try these!" Aang handed the pastry he had just bitten out of to Katara.

"Well, maybe just a bite…" She took the pastry from the airbender's hand and tore of the part that Aang hadn't bitten into and ate it.

Aang looked over at Sokka. "Sokka, what's your problem? Eat!"

"Not hungry."

"But you're always hungry!" Aang argued.

Azula shook her head as she sat down next to Katara. "He's just upset that a bunch of girls kicked his butt yesterday."

"They snuck up on me!" Sokka retorted.

"Right. And then they kicked your butt. Azula, say 'Ah'." Katara said while the firebender was distracted.

"Ah." Azula casually opened her mouth. Her eyes widened when she felt a sugary pastry was put into her mouth. She took a bite of it while grabbing hold of the rest of the pastry she hadn't bitten into. "It's a little sweet, but tasty. Taste like moon peach cakes."

Katara smiled. "I knew you'd like it." She took the rest of the pastry from the firebender's hand and ate it.

Seeing what Katara did, Azula shot up from her seat and began walking out of the room quickly. "Where are you going?" Katara asked.

"Walk. Need Air."

Azula felt the heat rise to her cheeks with the image of Katara eating the pastry she had eaten off of before kept replaying in her head. "She's going to be the end of me!" Azula exasperated.

"Mmm… this is tasty." Sokka mumbled to himself as he left the room. Azula rolled her eyes.

Azula walked up to the dojo fifteen minutes before the designated time. When she arrived she saw Suki there.

"Ah, good. I was hoping you'd show up early. We need to apply the make-up on you."

"Wait, what?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. If you're to train with us, you need to follow all of our traditions. That includes wearing our uniforms and the make-up." Suki explained as she handed the neatly folded uniform to the firebender. "Get changed first before we apply the make up."

The firebender climbed into the dojo away from the public eye before stripping down to her undergarments. Azula picked up the top, slipping it on and tying it before picking up the hakama. She stepped into the hakama bringing it up to her waist and tying it around her waist.

Suki walked in just as Azula finished putting the armguards and gloves on. "You might not want to put the gloves on just yet."

"Why not?"

"Because you need to put on the rest of the armor and the headband." Suki gently tossed the chest, and leg-groin protector.

Azula slipped the chest armor over her head. She liked how the armor allowed her to move but was tight enough so it wouldn't suffocate her. Suki laughed.

"I probably should have told you to put the leg-groin protector on first. There's no way it'll work on top of the chest armor." Suki helped Azula out of the chest armor.

After about five minutes Azula was fully dress minus the headband. She currently had her eyes closed as Suki applied the make up on her face and neck

"Okay you can open your eyes. Because the next time you close them you can't open them because I'm going to apply the make-up over the eyes. Mean while let's apply the lipstick."

The firebender did what she was told. "No disrespect towards Avatar Kyoshi, but did she actually wear this much make up every day?"

"Probably. In every painting and statue I've seen she has. I know this seems to be taking a while and that's because we normally do the make up ourselves. If you practiced you'd be able to do this quickly and beautifully as well. Close your eyes."

She closed her eyes and felt the paint being brushed over her eyelids.

"I heard Suki invited the Fire Nation girl to train with us today. This should be interesting." The other Kyoshi Warriors walked into the dojo just as Azula had finished tying the headband around her head.

"Wow. Not bad, you could actually pass for being one of us." Commented one of the warriors. All the other girls agreed and gave compliments to the firebender.

"Okay, that's enough talking. We're going to go back and study the basics today for Azula. Also, it's never a bad idea to review the basics. I expect wonderful forms from all of you." Suki instructed.

They spent about an hour teaching Azula the basics of using the fans and basics. Being a prodigy she easily picked up on what was being taught to her. Soon they moved on to partner works of using their force against them. It was only after being tossed onto her rear for the third did she finally understand how she recognized the motion.

"Hey, you're fighting techniques are very similar to waterbending." Azula hopped up noticing she had the group's attention. "In waterbending they usually turn their defense to offense just like we've been doing. Watch."

Azula easily breezed through part of the form Kanna taught her emphasizing towards the part that she was shown by the Kyoshi Warriors.

"Very nice. Mind if we use the form to also practice?" Suki asked.

"I don't see why not."

The firebender spent the next couple of hours teaching the Kyoshi Warriors part of the waterbending form three moves at a time. She would teach them the moves, then watch them to make corrections, and finally they applied it by working with their partners while moving through the form. Azula was enjoying the trade off of learning something from them and teaching them something as well.

Suddenly they are a very arrogant voice call into the dojo. "Sorry ladies! Didn't mean to interrupt your dance lesson." Sokka walked in and began stretching his arms and waist. "I was just looking for somewhere to get a little workout?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing. Azula stayed quiet and in the back so Sokka wouldn't see her. She hadn't told her friends that Suki had invited her to train.

"Well, you're in the right place. Sorry about yesterday." Suki apologized. "I didn't know you were friends with the Avatar."

Sokka began rolling his shoulders. "It's all right. I mean, normally I'd hold a grudge, but seeing as you guys are a bunch of girls, I'll make an exception."

Azula rolled her eyes. She couldn't understand why her friend had to be so arrogant and sexist. Normally she would have attacked him already, but she decided to let him fall on his own face.

"I should hope so. A big strong man like you? We wouldn't stand a chance." Suki replied sarcastically.

"True. But don't feel bad. After all, I'm the best warrior in my village."

Suki looked back to the group of warriors briefly just to see Azula snickering in the background. "Wow! Best warrior, huh? In your whole village? Maybe you'd be kind enough to give us a little demonstration."

"Oh… well… I mean… I…"

"Come on, girls! Wouldn't you like him to show us some moves?" All the other girls giggled as Azula tried to keep herself from laughing so hard.

"Well, if that's what you want, I'd be happy to. All right, you stand over there." Sokka walked up to Suki and tried moving her, but she didn't and it didn't seem like Sokka noticed either. "This may be a little tough, but try to block me."

Sokka threw a punch only to be blocked when Suki thrust her fan into his shoulder. He rubbed his shoulder. "Heh Heh… good. Of course, I was going easy on you."

"Of course."

"Let's see if you handle this!" The boy lunged himself towards the Kyoshi leader. Suki easily caught him under his leg and tossed him on his butt. "That does it!"

He lunged at Suki again. She grabbed him by his arm spinning him in circles one way and then the other way before taking his belt off. Suki quickly tied his arm and leg together with his foot before tossing him on the ground.

"Anything else you want to teach us?" Suki laughed.

Azula couldn't help but let out a loud laugh with the other girls. She knew Sokka was going to lose against Suki, but she didn't think he'd humiliate himself as bad as he did.

When she got close enough to Sokka his face was all red. "Do you need help getting back to the house?" Azula asked.

"Yes, please." He squeaked.

The firebender easily lifted Sokka up and started to untie his arm and leg. "I don't see how you could be so arrogant. I beat you all the time."

"That's because you're like a sister to me. I only let you win."

Her eye twitched. She tightened Sokka's binds and pushed him out of the dojo. "Have fun getting back to the house all by yourself."

"On that note the lessons are done for the day. Same time tomorrow girls." Suki announced.

Purposely ignoring the pleading from the male warrior Azula walked away from the dojo.

Azula had just finished washing the make up off her face when Katara struggled to walk into their bedroom a big basket of food. Katara tripped and was about to drop the basket, but Azula ran up and caught the basket of food as Katara leaned into both the basket and Azula.

"You couldn't take multiple trips?" Azula asked as she lifted Katara up.

"I'm irritated with Aang. I wasn't thinking too much about what I was putting in the basket. This morning he promised that he wouldn't the Avatar thing get to his head and claimed to be a 'simple monk.' He's having girls chase him around the whole village. It's so infuriating!"

"What is it and the boy's being so stuck up?" Azula ask rhetorically as she tried to remove the chest armor.

Katara walked up behind her and began helping Azula remove the chest protector. "Did Sokka stop by the dojo?"

"Yes, and he was very arrogant. Suki put him in his place though." Azula lifted her arms while Katara lifted the armor over the firebender's head. "He got his leg and arm tied together by her. I was willing to help him out but after I commented how I've beaten him so many times and he shouldn't be arrogant, he responded of saying he let me win because I was like a sister to him.

"So as punishment he's struggling to get him with his arm and leg tied behind his back." Azula laid down on her bed and looked up at the ceiling. "I think you'll be happy to know a lot of the Kyoshi Warrior techniques are very similar to waterbending."

"Really that's great! So when do you plan on teaching me?"

"We can start later tonight. I'm tired. Please wake me up when lunch arrives." Azula stripped down to her undergarments and slipped under the blankets.

Just as she was about to fall asleep she felt the bed shift as Katara climbed in. The waterbender practically laid herself on top of the firebender. Azula buried her face into the pillow hiding her blush.

"What are you doing?"

"Taking a nap with you." Katara responded casually as she snuggled deeper onto the girl.

"Why?"

"I'm being greedy and stealing some of your firebending heat. It's too cold in my bed."

"At least you're honest." Azula sighed.

Katara and Azula walked out of the house. The moon was out and there were torches lit around the village.

"I don't know if I'm so excited or nervous! I'm going to be learning more waterbending moves!" Katara cheered as Azula came up behind her.

Azula grabbed Katara around the waist, picked her up and twirled her around. "Fair warning though, all the stuff I learned today were your basic waterbending moves." She set the waterbender down.

"How basic?"

"Push and pull but applying it to fighting. Now I have a question for you, do you trust me?" Azula asked.

"Of course." She flinched when she suddenly saw Azula's fist less than an inch away from her face.

"Good because that's how close I'll be coming towards you with each punch. I'll be going full speed and full power. But I'll have control and won't hit you physically or with fire.

"What I want you to do is not to stop my punch but to at guide my arm or grab my arm that way I'll be in your fighting area." Azula explained. "Here punch me."

Katara did what she was told. Azula easily guided the waterbender's arm away from her but had control of it.

"We're just going to work on you getting control of my arm before we move on to at least a few basic counter attacks."

The two benders went through the motions. "I think I got the hang of it. Azula, what kind of counter attacks do you have in mind?"

"Punch me again." Azula guided Katara's arm grabbing it with her left and came close to slamming her elbow into the waterbender's face. "That's one way. Immediately hit them in the first vital opening you find. In my case it was your face.

"One more punch please." They went through the punch and guiding process again only this time she pushed Katara and stepped forward to keep up with the waterbender as she threw a palm strike to the waterbender's face. "This is for pushing your opponent away from you to make distance and gain the upperhand."

"Okay I think I understand." An hour passed as they continued practicing the counter moves over and over.

"I think you got it Katara!" Azula said proudly. "See you're a prodigy if you can master this without bending. I can just see it now. Katara will be the best waterbender your master will have ever seen." She wrapped her arm around the waterbender's shoulders as the walked back to the house.

Katara blushed at her friend's comment. "I also have a very good teacher."

"What's wrong with Azula?" Aang asked as the two walked into the house.

Azula's face was flushed. "I'm fine Aang."

The next day Azula was training with the other Kyoshi Warriors again. They continued working on the waterbending form only with their fans this time.

"Youch!" Azula cried in pain as she dropped the fan. "Suki whatever you did just now made my hand go numb."

"I just hit your pressure point from your wrist."

"Hmm. Very effective. Apparently my arm is numb as well." Azula laughed. All the other girls laughed with her.

Everyone froze when they saw Sokka walk into the dojo. "Um… hey, Suki."

"Hoping for another dance lesson?" Suki asked mockingly.

"No… I… well, let me explain."

"Spit it out! What do you want?"

Azula never thought she'd see the day Sokka kneeling to the girl. "I would be honored if you would teach me."

"Even if I'm a girl?"

"I'm sorry if I insulted you earlier. I was wrong."

"We normally don't teach outsiders. But as of yesterday we've made an exception." Suki quickly looked over at Azula. "Boys are a different story."

"Please make another exception. I won't let you down."

"All right. But you have to follow all of our traditions."

"Of course!" Sokka replied quickly.

"And I mean ALL of them."

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

"Do I really have to wear this? It feels a little… girly."

Azula chuckled at Sokka's comment.

"It's a warrior's uniform. You should be proud. The silk threads symbolize the brave blood that flows through our veins. The gold insignia represents the honor of the warrior's heart." Suki explained.

Sokka stood proudly. "Bravery and honor."

"Hey Sokka! Nice dress!' Aang giggled before running off.

"Don't pick on him Aang!" Azula called off to the Avatar. "Jerk." She mumbled.

"Sir, we'll be landing on the shores of the island soon." One of the captain of the ship informed Commander Zhao.

"Good. Let's find ourselves the Fire Nation's number one enemy. Fire Lord Azuko is going to be very pleased."

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

Azula yawned as she watched Suki and Sokka spar some more. The only reason she stayed was to observe their weaknesses. At some point Momo came in and fell asleep on her lap.

After Sokka finished parrying Suki's arm one last time they both smiled. "Not bad, Sokka."

Suddenly Oyaji appeared at the door of the dojo. "Firebenders have landed on our shores. Girls, come quickly!"

"Hey, I'm not a… oh, whatever!" Sokka shouted.

The three warriors ran out of the dojo. Suki and Sokka ran towards the village's entrance while Azula quickly ran back to the house to grab her swords. Once she got them the hid in the trees working her way down to the village. She saw soldiers sitting on Komodo-Rhinos.

One of the Komodo-Rhinos stepped forward further than the other ones. A man with side burns was dressed different the other soldiers.

"He could be the leader." Azula whispered to herself.

"Come out Avatar! You're hundred years of hiding is over." The man with side burns shouted into the village.

Azula looked up at the rooftops and saw the other Kyoshi Warriors. She got out of her hiding spot from the trees and side of one of the buildings keeping an eye on the firebenders.

The leader of the firebenders sliced his arm across the creating a flame arc. The flames hit parts of the building causing them to catch fire.

"I'd hurry up if I were you Avatar. Fire can be so hard to control." The leader unleashed more fire from his palms.

Before any of the flames could hit the buildings Azula firebended at the flames to distinguish them.

She heard the soldiers mumbling. They didn't understand how their Commander's fire could suddenly disappear. Azula took a deep breath and stepped out of her hiding spot.

The commander and Azula stared each other down. She knew the Kyoshi Warriors didn't understand why she was doing this. She didn't expect them to because she wanted to prove that not all firebenders were allied with the Fire Nation.

"Who are you?" Azula asked.

"Commander Zhao. Now what is a firebender doing defending an Earth Kingdom village? Surely, you don't think you'll be able to take on all of us. If you have any loyalty to your nation you'll destroy this village until we find the Avatar."

"The Fire Nation betrayed my family a long time ago. Tell your Fire Lord that nine years ago he made an enemy when he betrayed his Fire Lord and overthrew him. The Avatar should be the last of your concern." Azula threatened.

"The you have declared yourself a traitor of the Fire Nation. Arrest the traitor and search for the Avatar." Zhao ordered. "I'm sure Fire Lord Akuzo will be pleased having the Avatar and a traitor in custody."

Azula took a defensive stance as she opened her fans ready for the firebenders to attack her. She looked up to one of the roofs and caught Suki's eye. The firebender smirked. She quickly lowered herself and firebended with the help of her fans and attacked the Komodo-Rhinos.

Just as one of the Fire Nation soldiers was about to attack, Suki jumped from the rooftop and knocked them off the Komodo-Rhino. The rest of the warriors followed suit. Suki charged up towards Zhao just as she was about to land on him the Komodo-Rhino turned and swatted her out of the air with its tail.

Zhao fired a fireball towards her. Sokka jumped in between Suki and the fireball, deflecting it with his fans. While Zhao was distracted Azula snuck up on him and knocked him off his Komodo-Rhino. Suki, Sokka, and Azula cautiously approached Zhao.

The commander slashed his arm downwards sending another fire arc towards them. Azula quickly bended a firewall protecting them from the fire, when the wall disappeared she quickly drew her swords and slammed the hilt of the sword into Zhao's wrist like Suki had done to her with the fan earlier that day.

Before the commander could recover, Azula elbowed him hard in the face. Zhao lost his balance. Azula did a front turning reverse leg sweep to his standing leg causing the commander to fall onto his back. Just as Azula was about to strike, one of Zhao's soldiers attacked her. She had just barely protected herself from the blast.

Aang and Katara had just gotten back into the village running to help the others. As the Airbender approached where Azula was he saw Zhao standing up preparing to attack her. Azula was busy fighting off another soldier to notice Zhao.

"Azula duck!" Aang shouted as he swung his staff sending an air blast towards Azula and Zhao.

The firebender just barely ducked as the air blast flew by her slamming into Zhao knocking the commander about ten feet away. From the looks of it all the Fire Nation soldiers were either gaining conscious or were struggling to get up.

"These people got their town destroyed trying to protect me." Aang said sadly as he walked up to Azula.

"It's not your fault…" Katara started.

"Yes it is."

"Then we need to get out of here. I'm sure the Fire Nation will leave Kyoshi to follow us." Katara explained.

Aang hung his head. "I'll call Appa."

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

"I know, I know. That was stupid and dangerous." He was expecting a lecture from Katara as he climbed back onto Appa.

"Yes, it was." Katara hugged the airbender tightly. Azula felt a little irritated seeing Katara hugged Aang.

When they broke the hug all of them looked back at the now faded Kyoshi Island. "So what's the plan now?" Aang asked.

"Getting you to the North Water Tribe as soon as possible. You've had your fun." Azula said bluntly while glaring at Aang. "The last thing we need from now on is having that Commander Zhao chasing us. Aang, you're the Avatar they're going to be hunting us down from now on. It also doesn't help that I'm going to be on the wanted list with you now too."

"What? What happened?" Katara asked.

"I've officially been marked a traitor to the Fire Nation. This is going to be fun." Azula ended sarcastically.

"Well, things couldn't get much worse." Sokka commented.
