Ba Sing Se: City of Complications

Kagutsuchi called back from the doorway "I'm not leaving you...I'm just waiting outside" he said smiling, he laughed a bit "Clingy much?" Kagutsuchi of course meant this jokingly.

Kiharu rolled her eyes. "Haha. I'm sorry. I kind of assumed you weren't as smart as I thought you were, Mister Avatar," she lifted the gold and weighed it in her hand. "Nice cash," she commented absently. She turned back to Tuwa and Amuri, and took a sip of her water.

Kagutsuchi leaned against the wall, as much as he wanted to assure himself that this love would only be a benificial one, well for him anyway...he couldn't. He was actually starting to like Kiharu, maybe, that wasn't such a bad thing?

Kiharu picked out two pieces of gold to cover the bill. 'What a show off,' she thought. Two or one of these could pay for the whole thing. He just wanted to look impressive.' Outwardly she smiled kindly.

"Almost done?" she asked the two girls in front of her.

"I am done." Tuwa said looking at the avatar, Tuwa sipped her tea whatching the group seeing if anyone was starting to get up.

It was after lunch, and the sun beat down hard on Sasavi's toffee skin. "Well I think I can conclude that she's not in the Lower Ring, and it's been a while. We should contact the others, see what they've found." She brushed her hair out of her eyes, hoping that someone had indeed already found Tuwa. Frankly, she didn't want to wonder around in the sun any longer. The Water Tribe was freezing, the Earth Kingdom was boiling. She couldn't wait to get the Light Kingdom where the temperature was perfect. "So how do we contact the others? We should really start carrying around walkie talkies, or whatever those things are called."

Kaji laughed a bit "Well there is one way....I'm not really good at it...it's something my dad showed me...it's a way of using your bending to send messages" he said, Kaji put his hand to the ground and sent a pulse of fire through it, out burst 2 orange wolves. "You two...check up on the others, find out their progress and tell them if none of them have found anything to meet back at the gate...we'll wait there" he said, the wolves barked in understanding and ran off "That should do it for now."

Amuri got up, and wiped her face. ''Yep, i'm readyy''. Amuri said, and she looked at two orange figures coming in the distance. ''Oh my god, what the heck are those things?''. Amuri asked to herself, and created a water ball from a near fountain, and aimed it at them.

The wolf barked and skidded to a halt infront of Amuri, Kiharu, Tuwa and Kagutsuchi. The wolf wagged it's tail and spoke "Guys, it's Kaji...I see you found Tuwa...great, and who's your other friend?" asked the wolf. Kagutsuchi looked down at the flaming animal "I'm Kagutsuchi...I'm the Avatar, I heard you were looking for the Warriors, I figured I should join you, isn't the Avatar supposed to lead the Warriors?" he said calmly. The wolf nodded "The Avatar and the Earth Warrior....perfect, we have what we came for" he said "Now I think we can go-" He was cut off as Kagutsuchi interupted "Actually.." he started "I promised to make an appearance at the Earth Kingdom Festival tomorrow night...you're all invited to the festival and you're welcomed to stay at my home over the night." The wolf paused and thought "Well I guess it should be fine....I'll notify the others...Avatar" said the wolf turning to Kagutsuchi "Send where is your house?" Kagutsuchi pointed up the hill "The large red house at the top of the hill...it has a golden roof and a large garden out front...you can't miss it" he told Kaji. The wolf barked "Okay...I'll let the others know and we'll catch up...see you later" with this the wolf dissapeared into smoke.

Kaji turned to Kaon and Sasavi "It seems Kiharu and Amuri have found not on the Earth Warrior but the Avatar as well...the Avatar has an appearance to make tomorrow at the festival....he has requested to stay and offered us room and board at his house...so I accepted...we're going to go find Hisaki, Hayato and Hideki and then head over to the Avatar's house in the Upper Ring" he said "Let's go"

''Sure, we'll be here waiting''. Amuri said to the wolves, and she slided the water into a small pouch she has. Amuri turned to Kagusutchi, and she looked at his house on the hill. ''Nice house, looks better than my cottage in the North Pole''. She said, and she turned to Tuwa. ''All we have to do is wait for the Prince, and Princesses and the others to arrive, and we'll stay with Kagusutchi''. Amuri said, repeating everything Kaji said.
