Chapter 4. Trip to the Hot Spring

Two weeks have pasted since Zuko and Ty Lee came to the island, Zuko's training is improving thanks to Rin and Rei, Ty Lee and Jin got to know each other better as Ty Lee is helping her in the inn. Zuko is getting better with his fire bending, but he is still hasn't summoned a single black flame. Nightmare is no where to be found when Zuko started his training. Even though Nightmare is not around he still gives orders to Rin and Rei for Zuko's training.

In the morning Zuko was heading to the twin's home, but when he got there he heard some noise from the back yard. Zuko went around to the back to find Rei and Rin doing their morning sparring. He watched the twins getting ready for their fight.

The two were in a big circle as Rei was in one side of the circle and Rin was in the other side. The two looked at each other as they bowed their head's in their fighting stances. Rei started to move her legs back to front over and over as though she was dancing. Rin started to bend the water in the air as she then leaned back and drank, but when she leaned forward; her movement was like she was drunk from drinking sake.

Zuko was confused about their fighting stances. He never had seen those stances before and wondering what was going to happen.

Rei made the first move by doing a spin kick that was sending a wave of fire towards Rin. Rin did a back flip to dodge the wave, but she countered it when her feet went up in the air as she send the two waves of water at her sister. Rei jumped between the waves then lashed out a flaming spin kick at Rin. Rin spun around to avoid her sister kicks.

Rei and Rin continued to spar as Zuko watched. He was amazed seeing his teacher fighting each other. Seeing the fire bender and water bender fight as though they were dancing. Rei's movement was like fire moving back to front like rhythm. Rin's drunken body as like watching water flow down a river.

Jin just finished cleaning the dishes in the kitchen and Ty Lee was on her bed tired from cleaning the tables in the inn.

"Boy, I'm tired." said Ty Lee as she lay on her bed.

Jin giggled a bit "How can you be tired from cleaning the tables?"

Ty Lee placed a finger on her chin and said, "I guess I'm not use to this." She smiled.

"Well don't forget that we're going to a bath house near the water fall today." Jin smiled back to Ty Lee.

"Don't worry I won't forget." said Ty Lee

Rei and Rin just got done with their spar then Zuko walked up to them. He was still amazed from watching them spar.

"Wow, I never seen those fighting style's before!" said Zuko.

Rin looked at him and smiled. "Thank you Prince Zuko."

Rei drank some water as she looked at Zuko. "So are you ready to go to the water fall?"

"Yea, but tell me why we're going there again?" asked Zuko.

"For two reasons Prince Zuko." Rin smiled as show one finger. "One is for your training." She said as she put another finger up. "And two is for the hot spring."

Zuko looked at Rin and said, "Hot spring?"

Rei walked up to him and then give him a mad look on her face. "Yes hot spring. So you better not dare to peek on us you little pervert."

Zuko looked at Rei and yelled, "I'M NOT A PERVERT!"

Rin looked away as blush and placed her hands on her cheek. "Oh Prince Zuko is a pervert!" She then looked at him. "But I don't mind if you see me wet and naked in the hot spring." She said with a sexy tone as she winked at the prince.

Zuko started to blush bright red and said, "I don't want to see you naked!"

Rin started to cry. "Oh Prince Zuko is being mean to me! He thinks I don't have a sexy body to look at!" She said as she was teasing the prince.

Zuko's eyes widen a bit as he continued to blush. "Wait I didn't mean it like that!" he started to think what to say next, and try not to say the wrong words that might make things worse. "Umm…you see I was met to say… that umm."

Rei looked at them and sighed. "Will you two stop!?" She looked at Rin. "Rin stop teasing the pervert." Rei then looked at Zuko and said, "You know there's no peeking when we get to the hot spring okay!?"

Rin and Zuko nodded a little as they looked at Rei.

Zuko, Rin and Rei met up with Jin and Ty Lee at the inn. Rin, Jin, and Ty Lee were excited for their trip to the water fall, and as for Zuko and Rei there expressions on their faces were just uptight and serious.

The group was walking down a path that was leading to the water fall. Rei and Rin was in front, Jin and Ty Lee is behind them and Zuko was bringing up the rear as he was carrying suitcases filled with towels, spare clothes, soap, and much more items girls need to take a bath like a rubber turtle-duck.

"Why do I have to carry all this shit!?" Zuko yelled at them as he was getting tired and cranky by carrying their suitcases.

Ty Lee turned around and started walking backward. "Because we needed a strong man to carry our things, Zuzu." She smiled as she teased Zuko.

Zuko turned his head to hide his blush. "Shut up!"

Ty Lee saw Zuko's red cheek and said, "Aww…your blushing again." Then she tapped Jin on the shoulder.

Jin looked at her. "Yes?" Ty Lee pointed to Zuko then Jin looked at him and said, "Cute! Zuzu is blushing again!"

"I know it's so cute to see Zuzu blush huh?" said Ty Lee

Jin nodded a little. "Yea I know."

"Is Prince Zuko blushing again!?" As Rin over heard Jin and Ty Lee as she then she quickly ran to Zuko and hugged him.

Zuko fell to the ground as Rin hugged him. "Hey let me go right now!" He blushed harder then before.

Ty Lee and Jin started to laugh at Rin and Zuko.

Rei sighed as she looked back at Rin hugging Zuko and watching Ty Lee and Jin laughing. "Why am I surrounded by dumb asses?" Rei thought to herself as she shook her head and continued to walk down the path.

When they got to the bath house, Zuko dropped the suitcases, but before he could rest Rei quickly grabbed his hand, and took him to the water fall. Jin and Rin walked inside the bath house and started to get ready to go to the hot spring. Ty Lee watched Rei taking Zuko to the water and started to follow them.

Rei let go of Zuko's hand as they soon reached the shore of the water fall. She then turned around and faced him. "Give me your katana!" She demanded Zuko to give her the katana.

"Why should I?" said Zuko.

Rei started to yell at him. "BECAUSE I SAID SO DUMB ASS! NOW GIVE ME YOUR SWORD THAT'S AN ORDER!"

Zuko stared at her for a few seconds then gave her his katana. Rei grab his weapon and removed the katana from its scabbard then she tossed the katana to the peak of the water fall. Zuko watched as his blade get toss to the top of the water fall and seeing it stabbing the ground. He then look at Rei, wounding why she throw his katana.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Zuko looked at her.

Rei quickly hit Zuko on the head for yelling then said, "The master wanted you to climb up the face of the water fall with your bare hands."

Zuko rubbed his head a bit. "So why did you tossed my katana at the peak!?"

"For motivation." Rei then turned around and headed back to the bath house. "Oh and no fire bending."

Zuko sigh a little as he looked up at the water fall. "Great." He sounded disappointed, but yet he thought that this was a good motivation.

Ty Lee walked up to Zuko. "What's wrong?" Wondering why he was looking up as she looked up as well and saw Zuko's sword on the top of the water fall. "Zuko is that your katana?"

Zuko looked at her then said, "Yes." He walked to the shore and started to remove his shirt.

Ty Lee watched as Zuko removed his shirt. She then started to blush as she stared at Zuko's body as she continued to stare at his well worked out body.

Zuko looked at her and wondering why she is was staring at him. "You okay?"

Ty Lee shook her head a little then said, "Yea, I'm fine." as she smiled.

"Okay?" Zuko jumped into the river and swam to the base of the water.

Ty Lee watched as she at down on a flat rock. "Be careful, Zuko."

"Aww… This is nice" Jin was in the hot spring relaxing as she held her towel round her torso.

"Yea I know" Rin smiled as she leaned back against a rock that was next to her. "Me and Rei always come here during the winter reason."

"I can see why." Jin looked at Rin.

The bath of the hot spring was surrounded by rocks. There were walls that surrounded the hot spring that was made of bamboo trees. The hot spring also had a small man made water fall to let the warm water flow into the bath.

Rei walked in as she held her towel. "Man, it's good to come here." she said as she slowly entered the water. She stretched out her arms and started rest against a rock. "Man this is relaxing huh?" Rei stared at Jin and Rin as she smiled a little.

Jin looked around and noticed that Ty Lee was no where to be found. "Where's Ty Lee?"

Rin looked around also and noticed that Ty Lee wasn't there. "I don't know." She then looked at Rei then said, "Rei where is Ty Lee?"

Rei looked at them then sighed. "She's with Zuko at the falls that's all."

"Why?" Jin looked at her.

Rei looked back at Jin. "Who knows? Maybe she's just watching him train." She closed her eyes and was taking in the warmth of the spring. "Mmm… I love this place." She smiled to herself as she said that.

"Oh." Jin sounded a bit disappointed when she heard Ty Lee was with Zuko. "I hope they don't do something serious."

Rin looked at Jin then asked, "What do you mean?"

Rei grinned a little, and thought this might be a good chance to tease Jin and Rei. "I think they might have sex in the water falls." She looked at the two.

Jin's face turns red as she thought about Rei's comment. "Sex!?... No they wouldn't do that. Like come on its Zuko and Ty Lee, they're just friends right!?" So many things were running through her mind as she thought about Zuko and Ty Lee.

"Nooo." Rin started to whine a little as she also thought about them having sex. "I want to be alone with him and feeling his warm body rubbing against mine." She said it out loud. "Prince Zuko, Why her and why not me!?"

Rei looked at her sister and couldn't believe what she just said. She was a bit shock from her reaction and yet sometimes she kind of knew that Rin might be jealous of hearing that Zuko was alone with Ty Lee.

About thirty minutes had past by since Rei took Zuko to the water falls as Ty Lee was still watching Zuko try to reach his katana. Zuko tried to climb up the water fall, but every time he was half way there he just end up falling back down to the river. Now the prince was laying next to Ty Lee as he felt tired and had some bruises on his body from hitting some of the rocks that were in the river.

"Damn it." Zuko's breathing was a little heavy as he said that. He was disappointed for failing the climb on the water fall as he was trying so hard retrieve his katana.

Ty Lee was worried about Zuko's condition. "Don't worry Zuzu." She said as she stood up from the small rock that she was sitting on, walked towards to Zuko and sat next to him as she brought her knees to her chest. "You can do it. I just know you can." She said hoping to cheer him up.

Zuko looked way from her. "Shut up!" he said with a harsh tone.

Ty Lee looked down as she started to feel unwanted. "I'm sorry." she said as she was trying to hold in her tears, but some were starting to roll down on her cheek.

Zuko then looked at her as he sat up. He noticed that Ty Lee was crying a little. "…Ty Lee…" Zuko was now feeling bad for making her cry.

Ty Lee wiped the tears from cheek then she looked at him. "Yes, Zuko?" the tone of her voice was low and sad.

Zuko saw one tear on her cheek. He grabbed a cloth from his pocket, but it was wet from when fell into the river. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry." He slowly wiped the tear from her cheek.

Ty Lee shivered a little from the dampness of his cloth, but she felt happy that he was apologizing. "It's ok." She said as she smiled a little at him.

"It's good to see you smile." said Zuko as he looked at her then looked at the water fall that held his katana.

Ty Lee also looked at the water fall. "So what are you going to do now?"

Zuko sighed as he stood up. "I don't know." He said and then started to think about different ways on how to get to the top, but some of his plans had to do with his fire bending, which he couldn't use. "I might think of something when I'll try to get it tomorrow."

"Zuko, can I ask you something?" Ty Lee looked at him.

Zuko looked back at her. "Sure."

Ty Lee looked down as she took breath in deeply and then said, "Do you really love Mai!?" She sounded nervous for asking his feeling about Mai.

Zuko's eyes widen from Ty Lee question. Wondering why she asked Zuko about his feeling towards his girlfriend. "Why do you asked!?"

"Because you two don't seem to get along sometime and you always have a fight with her when she can't express her feeling towards you." Ty Lee said it quickly.

Zuko looked down as he thought about what Ty Lee said. He could not help the fact that she's right. He not even sure if he really does love Mai. Zuko looked Ty Lee and said, "I don't know myself."
