Ahbwen VS Ryzu (OPEN)

As Lodi left Ren turned away from the girl to follow his master. Before he left he turned back to her. He didn't know if it ws because of Ahbwen's past influence on him or something else, but he felt he should at least say something. "I'm sorry for the loss of Ahbwen. I tried to keep him alive for you and Itou." He called out Itou's name as loud as he possibly could to get his attention for his daughter. "That's the best i can do to help you with your father. Goodbye." As Ren said this he disappeared using his bending to appear behind Lodi. He walked up next to him and looked at him. Ren didn't expect him to do that, but it only prved that he had much to learn about Lodi.

Akari looked around the narrow street she was standing in. She could feel something happening, as if a huge amount of energy was colliding or changing. Shivering, she hurried through the city, following the energy source that she felt. Scared, she turned a corner and saw a girl with tears streaking her face, glaring after two men. One was silent and dark, while the other was young. She didn't know either of them. But she felt like she had to follow them, even more so when she noticed that two corpses were strewn at her feet. Anger rose in her, killing innocent people (who knows why she thought they were innocent) was definitely breaking one of her major rules. Time for karma (namely, her) to pay back what they owed. She put a hand on her sword hilts and padded after them, staying hidden as well as she could, waiting until the time was right...

((I hope you don't mind me jumping in like this! I'm rping as a 16 year old girl named Akari, btw))

Ren continued to walk by Lodi, but now he was getting the feeling that they were being followed. People couldn't stay hidden around him. He had sort of a sixth sense when it came to feeling the presenceof people. He created a shadow fly to see who was following him and Lodi. The fly followed the person secretly and brought Ren back information. It was a girl, who was maybe a little over a year older than him. He stopped walkng and gave Lodi a signal to keep going. He sat under a tree pretending like he didn't know the girl was following. He closed his eye and pretended to sleep. He knew Lodi would follow through with the mission and ope that the girl payed more attntion to him than Lodi.

Ani turns around glancing down the street, Itou had disappeared into the growing masses on the street. The market-street was growing busier and busier for each minute that passed. Ani looked into the crowd, trying to spot a grey head of hair, but to no success, she had been really close, but had missed him again. The two men had left the street and suddently, with the crowded streets, people hurrying past her, not showing any signs of seeing her, she stood there, her hands clenced tears falling down from er cheek, Ani felt more alone than she had ever felt in her entire life.

(I never intended for Itou and Ani to meet, This is the last post i will make in a while, I'm taking a break to sort my life out, i'll be back in less than a week or so)

Lodi stopped and looked back as he could see her still in pain. he narrowed his eyes as he knew they would meet again. He looked at Ren as he nodded his head at him as he turned back around and continued his path to the Northen water kingdom. He had plans for someone as he was hunting down the fourth target. This had been a long day and he knew that there was a long road head of him and he knew that he would unleash hell itself upon his new challenges...but after killing his fourth target, he wanted to met and fight the avatar of this time....he craved it. Then he stopped again and turned and glared at the girl who was following them, his eyes bored through her as it was like he was staring into her spirit. He gave her a look as he wanted her to attack him.....he narrowed his eyes and watched her. He glanced down at her hand as he noticed her hand was on her sword.

He then looke dback at her and glared at her again. "Fool..." he mumbled.

Ren glanced at Lodi gving him a look that said he wanted to take care of the girl himself. He wanted a fight. He hadnt had a good fight in a while. He hoped Lodi would let him have this battle and sat down waiting for the girl to attack him.

Akari followed the pair soundlessly, taking in their movements. The younger one stopped and rested under the shade of a large tree while the suspicious looking one turned and glared right at her. Her breath caught but she mustered up enough strength to glare back. Without warning she leapt from the shadows and attacked the one by the tree. Furious she pulled out her blades, feeling them slice the air with a perfect note. Then, using her fire bending, she sent flames licking up and down the blades, causing them to burn cherry red. With these swords she could extend her firebending and cut through anyone in her path. Not that she would kill anyone. That was against her morals. But apparently these two had no qualms about it. She cleared her mind and slashed down at her victim.
At the same time, her cat Tsuki popped his head out from behind her shoulder, yowling at the sudden shift in movement. Akari almost fell over in surprise, but managed to keep fighting, even with her cat screeching and wriggling in fury.

Ren smirked and opened his eye. He pulled out a blade from his leg strap with his left hand, while the hidden blade on his arm strap shot out. He blocked her blades and heard the sound of the metal hit. "I have some questions for you." Ren said getting ready to question the girl. "Why were you following me and my master? What's your reason for attacking people you don't know." Ren asked making sure he didn't let his gaurd down.

LodiLodi did not make a move as he knew Ren would protect him. He watched as he talked to her about why she was doing this. He was as well curious as to why she would attack him. His red eyes glared down at her as she held weapons as they were both on guard. He waited for her to speak as he was going to take care of her.

Ren looked at Lodi while making sure not to give th girl an opening. He gave Lodi a look that said he should go and carry out with the mission. Ren created a shadow fly that flew over to Lodi. This would be how he would find him when the time came. As long as he was awake Ren's fly wouldn't disappear. "I really would rather not ask more than once, so now i'm demanding an answer. Tell me your reason for following then attacking." Ren said demanding the anwers he wanted.
