Chapter 2: The Southern Air Temple and Kyoshi

They continued to fly until late at night. Aang was curled up against Haki while Kali curled up next to Katara in her sleeping bag. Sokka was next to Katara mumbling abut seal jerky. Kitty relaxed on Appa's head keeping watch while they flew to a safe camping space. They were over half way to the air temple and since Appa was still able to fly until they arrived at the temple. Kitty thought they would arrive at the temple by mid-morning.

By mid-morning Katara and Aang were both wide awake and amazed that they were almost to the air temple, he had thought that they would stop after Sokka and Katara fell asleep but figured it was Kitty's way to make sure that they were safe. Aang showed Sokka and Katara around and Kitty meditated in front of Gyatso's statue. She knew that most likely that the fire nation had invaded the temple and very few would have escaped but if anyone survived they would have found somewhere safe to hide. She mourned for those that had lost their lives protecting what they believed in.

Suddenly snapped her eyes open and ran towards where she felt Aang was. She heard Katara calm Aang from his avatar spirit and smiled slightly. She went back to Gyatso's statue knowing that they would be fine. She surrounded her hand in water and placed it on her eyes. It would only take a few more healing sessions until she can see again.

"You Kitty, Appa and I are all that is left of this place, Momo." Aang said as we all got onto Appa. "Next up is koi riding at Kyoshi"

"Girls are better fixing stuff than guys and guys are better at fighting and hunting" Sokka said.

As Katara threw Sokka's pants at him Kitty glared and threw him into the water just feet below in the bay that they landed at.

After they landed and Sokka dried out his clothes from being thrown into the water. He glowered at Kitty and she told them that she was going hunting she grabbed her naginata.

{With Kitty}

I stalked off. Sokka's sexist comments pissed me off he reminded me about people I would rather forget. I was not going back to camp for a couple of hours so I decided I would go to explore a bit.

Half an hour later I found something interesting it was smooth and somewhat large but I could tell it was not a rock. My anger was mostly gone and I headed back to where I had last saw Aang my prize and some edible nuts and berries in the bag on my hip. I was surprised when they were not where I left them so I asked Kali if she could follow their scents.

I arrived in town just as Sokka made another sexist comment and I picked up a small stone and threw it at his head. The warriors that surrounded the three all turned so fast I thought they might get whiplash. "Sokka if you don't quit making sexist remarks I am going to hurt you, badly." I almost snarled as I narrowed my eyes at him and stalked towards the pole they were all tied to. I weaved past the warriors getting right up in his face I ask "Got it?" he nodded so rapidly I thought he was probably making himself dizzy. Then almost as if I flipped the switch on my personality I asked Aang "What did you three do to get yourselves tied to a pole?" after Aang explained I rolled my eyes turned on my heel and walked over to the softest grass spot I could find and plopped onto the ground then I called water to my hand and held it over my eyes hoping more healing sessions would let me see quicker

"What are you doing and why?" one Kyoshi warrior asks me suspicious.

"I am healing and relaxing. Why? Because my eyes are burned and I did not sleep last night and I was watching for enemies. What's your name?"

"I'm Suki. How can you see if your eyes are burnt?" Asked Suki

"I use both airbending and my other senses to 'see' my surroundings. This is not the first time I have been blind for a period of time. I would appreciate it if you did not feed my brother and Katara to the Unagi."

"What about me/him/Sokka?" asked Sokka, Suki, Katara and Aang.

"I do not appreciate the sexist and rude comments made since we have started traveling together. Plus Haki and Kali seem to think he needs a bath which I agree with. Well I'm tired and am going to take a nap. Aang don't do anything stupid like trying to ride the Unagi." With that Kitty turned over and a few seconds later was fast asleep in the warm sun. Aang used airbending to escape the ropes as well as cut Katara's and Sokka's ropes.

Hours later Kitty woke up hearing several girls muttering about how Aang did not ride the Unagi she raised her left eyebrow and shook her head knowing this would have happened either way. She got up and grabbed her naginata and headed towards the village. As she turned the corner a fireball blasted inches away from her face. She turned and came face to face with Zuko the Fire Prince.

"Where is the avatar?" she heard him say. She smirked and backed away hoping he would follow into a less burnable area. The gamble paid off and she smirked as he followed her right to the waterfall she spun her naginata and created a cyclone and tossed the prince into the pool of water just under the waterfall. She skipped off towards where Appa and Aang were. Once on Appa's saddle they took off and Aang pulled the stunt with the Unagi she smacked the back of his head (Gibbs Slap- ooh) when he was back on top of Appa. She pulled out her water sack and healed her eyes she realized it would only take one or two more healing sessions before her eyesight was back to normal.

"Aang lets head to Omashu then from there straight to the North Pole. When we stop if we are near water I can help you and Katara with Basic waterbending. That way we can all be about the same level when we reach the North Pole."
