Hey there, I hope you all liked the first chapter. I put a lot of effort and thought to that one. I wanted to make the group feel organic and yes, it was a bit out of the blue that Tanjiro happened to meet Katara and Sooka, well in the One Piece one Luffy and Coby literally felled from the sky. Where am I going with all this? I don't know, anyway let's have some fun.

Tanjiro saw the boy with arrow in his body and wonder how was his still alive? He should have died frozen or worst, but he could sense that he was breathing and happy.

The kid soon got up with some kind of levitation, it was really weird.

''What happened? What's going on here?" Asked the boy.

''that's what we would like to know! You´re on ice and then…lights came out! What was what?" Asked Sokka confused.

''I don't know, I am as just as confused as you are.'' Said the kid.

''Do you need anything?'' Asked Tanjiro.

'No, I´m…a...a...a!"' Scream the kid sneezing.

ACHOOO

The sneezed made kid fly in the air, almost like a few meters.

''Uh!'' Said the group confused.

Soon the kid returned and landed safe and sound.

''I am aang.''

''I am Katara, the guy with the spear is my brother Sokka.''

''And I am Tanjiro Kamado.''

''Nice to meet you all, I never expected to meet water benders this soon.'' Said Aang.

''I am not a water bender.'' Said Tanjiro.

''Same, but I do live here.'' Said Sokka.

''Well I am a water bend, and you´re in the South Tribe.'' Said Katara.

''Oh I see, well thanks for informing and…'' Said Aang and then he was cut out by a scream.

''Aaaaah.'' Scream a creature.

''Appa!' Said Aang worried.

''Appa?" Asked the group.

Aang jumped in the ice and the group followed him, there they found a huge creature. It looked like a giant Bison.

''AAAAAAAAH!'' Scream Sokka.

''What creatures is this?'' Asked Tanjiro.

''This is Appa, my flying Bison.'' Said Aang.

''Right and this is Katara. My flying sister.'' Said Sokka.

''Calm down.'' Said Katara.

Aang soon started to pet Appa, and the creature looked gentle.

''See. Appa is good.'' Said Aang.

Tanjiro decided to pet the creature and Aang was right, he could sense good in that giant creature.

''He is right. It's like a docile giant.'' Thought Tanjiro.

''So, he is yours?" Asked Katara.

''Yes, Appa has been traveling with me since I got I stuck in the ice.'' Said Aang.

''Really?! Do you remember how you got stuck?" Asked Katara.

''Uh...no, I am sorry. I don't remember.'' Said Aang.

Tanjiro wonder if Nezuko would like to pet Appa, but it was still a sunny day, it was best wait for nighttime.

''Great, we are stuck in a block of ice with a stranger, a weird kid and a giant creature! What else could go wrong today?" Asked Sokka.

''You´re really a downer, stop complaining for once.'' Said Katara.

''We can row back to the land.'' Said Tanjiro.

''Urgh, it doesn't work like that. Where the hell are you from?' Asked Sokka.

''I am from what you all call the Neutral Regions.'' Said Tanjiro.

'The Neutral Regions! I never been there, how it's like?" Asked Katara.

''Me neither.'' Said Aang excited.

''Please, don't listen to anything this guy tells you.'' Said Sokka.

''Like you have anything else better to say. Like how we will get home?" Asked Katara.

Aang then got an idea on his head, if he wanted to help his new friends then he would have to act now.

''Hop in.'' Said him getting on top of Appa.

The group saw that and didn't know what to say.

''Is this safe?" Asked Katara.

''Yes, Appa is a good flying bison. I ride on him over a thousand times, don't worry about it.'' Said Aang.

The group looked a bit worried, but if what Aang was saying was true then they had to go with that chance.

''Come on Appa yip yip.'' Said Aang making Appa listen to his command.

Soon Appa started floating and soon he launched to the air, really flying.

''WOAH!'' Scream the group in shock.

They were all looking in amazement at the ground, they were actually flying.

Tanjiro was beyond for words, he never imagined be flying on a magical creature.

''I never imagined this! I wish you could see all of this Nezuko, you would have loved.'' Thought Tanjiro while looking at the box.

''First time flying?" Asked Aang.

''Yes, we are not used to that.'' Said Katara.

''How does this work? What makes him fly?" Asked Sokka.

''don't know. I never asked that, he just does this.'' Said Aang as the others just laugh at this..

The group kept flying for a few minutes as Katara spotted their village.

''Hey that's our village. Stop there Aang.'' Said her.

''Ok.'' Said him.

The group soon decided to go down, possibly scaring a good chunk of people.

At the Village.

The people were doing their daily tasks, when suddenly they saw that huge creature coming down towards their area.

''What!'' Scream everyone.

The flying bison landed save in the ground, making sure nobody got hurt or something.

''What is going on?' Asked Katara and Sokka grandma.

''Gran Gran!''' Scream both Katara and Sokka running to see her.

The older woman soon got hugged by her two grandchildren, who looked really excited.

''You never imagined what happened to us! We were fishing and then we meet this boy from the Neutral regions, then we saw an iceberg that had a boy inside!'' Said Katara.

''Someone from the Neutral Regions and a boy inside an iceberg?'' Asked Gran Gran confused.

''Yes! All in the same day!'' Said Katara.

''I am going to need more details.' Said the older woman.

Tanjiro soon got off Appa and walked towards Katara and Sokka, he saw the older woman and put it together that it should be their grandmother.

''Excuse me. Are you Kaana by any chance?" Asked him.

The older woman was in shock to know that someone knew her name, and that boy must be from the Neutral Regions.

''Yes, I am.'' Said her.

''Its an honor meeting you. I am Tanjiro Kamada, student of Sakonji Urokodaki.'' Said Tanjiro bowing.

The older woman had a look of shock at first, but then the shock turned into a smile.

''Sakonji. I haven't heard that name in years.'' Said her.

''Gran Gran, do you know his teacher?" Asked Sokka.

''Yes, Sakonji was a really good friend of mine when I was young. I remember when he came to our tribe looking for someone to teach water bending.'' Said Gran Gran surprising the siblings.

''Uh! What the hell Gran Gran?! How come we never heard of this guy before!?' Asked Sokka.

''I had a life before you kids were born, besides that was even before I meet your grandfather.'' Said her.

''He has been teaching me with the Water Breathing Technique, but he told me that I could learn more from a real Water bender. He even gave me this.'' Said Tanjiro showing the scroll.

Gran Gran looked at the scroll with a smile, she remembered what this was.

''What is this gran gran?" Asked Katara.

''Water bend teaching, how to fully master the basic training.'' Said her.

''What! Where was this when I developed my bending?" Asked Katara in shock.

''Well, this was my only one and I gave it to Sakonji years before you were born, I didn't imagined this to happen.'' Said Gran Gran.

''So I could fully master my bedding if I read this scroll?' Asked Katara.

''No, it doesn't work like that. Besides, you still have a lot to learn.'' Said Gran Gran.

''Really!?' Asked Katara.

The older woman than looked at Tanjiro in curiosity, she saw the uniform and was in shock to see the symbol.

''Are you a user of a breathing technique like Sakonji?' Asked her.

''Yes, I am a user of the Water Breathing.'' Said Tanjiro.

''Oh, I see, from the uniform I can see you´re a member of the Demon Slaying corp.'' Said Gran Gran.

The siblings and Aang heard that and were in shock, did she just say demons.

''Demons!'' Scream them.

''Gran Gran, please tell me you´re joking. There are no such things as demons.'' Said Sokka.

''Kids, do you know why we put the wisteria sense every night around the tribe?" Asked Gran Gran.

''It's not for good luck?' Asked Katara.

''I am sorry, but I´ve been hiding a secret from you two all these years.'' Said Gran Gran.

The two siblings look in wonder of what their grandmother was talking about, Gran Gran also saw Aang and she was shocked as well.

''Oh and you must be the boy from the iceberg.'' Said her.

''I am Aang!''

''An air bender. That's impressive.'' Said Gran Gran.

''Air bender!'' Said Katara, Sokka and Tanjiro in shock.

The older woman saw everyone in the village looking at the newcomers in odd, she decided to take them to her home.

''Come inside, its going to get dark soon. Come and eat something.'' Said Gran Gran.

''Thank you.'' Said Tanjiro and Aang.

The group went inside, just wanting to hear what the older woman had to say.

Meanwhile

Zuko was still focused on the point where the light shine, he wanted to get there as fast as possible.

''We should reach our destiny in the morning.' Said Zuko.

''I see, so we should have plenty of time to sleep.'' Said Iroh yahming.

The older man saw that was getting dark.

''It getting dark, let's have dinner.'' Said Iroh.

''Sure uncle.'' Said Zuko.

The older man soon bring a little bowl of incense, he light up and the smell of wisteria was spreading thought the ship.

''Why do you always put this smell every night?" Asked Zuko.

''To bring good luck to us and…keep creatures out.'' Said Iroh looking around.

''What creatures?" Asked Zuko.

''Something you should never discover, prince Zuko.'' Said Iroh being serious.

Zuko was now confused by that. What could be so dangerous that his uncle was being serious about?

There were demons on the four nations, but they were few since Muzan was a habitant of the Neutral Region, but they still lived in these areas and were even adapted to the environment.

So yes, Tanjiro and Aang arrived at the Water tribe. Let's see how they go with their stories and see how things will play out. The box will be brought up real soon.

I know this is not following canon 100% but so far, its pretty coherent, Tanjiro meet the siblings is helping them out and will play a good role for Aang in the future. Let's see what happens next.
