Taizen was looking out towards the front of the ship, oblivious to the stupidity Kazuki was getting into, taizen took a deep breath, the sea was not smelling as brine anymore, and smelled more of familiar ice, most people ignore it, but yes, ice did have a smell, or, if you were smart, youd know that the 'smell' was really just cold, cold 'smelled' good, it felt comforting, even in the now very thin clothing Kazuki had let him borrow, he'd have to get himself some new clothes once they reached the north pole, he could see it up ahead. he felt a small pang of homesickness, which was rare for him, as he rarely felt anything other than pride, and contempt. "I guess i really do miss my home..." He said thoughtfully, who knew he had taken his family for granted.
He could see the northern tribes gates as they turned the corner, the water tribe emblem 100's size big, carved out of ice by waterbender's, and the gates to the city. He raised his hands up to the emblem, they'd be slowing down to signal a few benders on the wall to open the gate, but Taizen wanted to practice his bending. He took another breath, welcoming the cold, and familiar air, bringing his left hand to his chest, he closed his eyes, the water tribe emblem was a very cleverly designed yin-yang symbol, but you'd have to look closely.raising his right arm, he made a circle, hearing and feeling the satisfying crack of ice breaking, the edges of the emblem, cracked, Taizen smirked, he opened his eye's, and jumped off the boat to land on an ice berg, in mid air, he moved his left hand lower, palm up, and as his feet touched the floating ice berg, his right hand, now a fist, smashed into the palm. there was a large booming sound, far louder than one would think, but the sound hadn't come from Taizen, the sound had come from the emblem.
Taize watched in satisfaction, the was crumbling, and sinking into the water before them, melting into the water. "Try to out-do me now!" Taizen continued, taunting Kazuki, wherever he was.

Marine keeps on shifting balls as she will probably get killed but she kept on shifting water balls and splashed Kazuki with it. She cried "Snap out of it!" as she stopped. She was so tired she sat down taking a little rest.

Watching Kazuki from the deck of the ship as he approached Marine. Walking over to hastidly Yoko grabed her hand and led her away to the front part on the ship. Looking at Marine with his deep ocean blue eyes that not only were beautiful and signified the upmost top of royalty in the water nation Yoko smiled and said, "Lets watch Taizen try some water bending." Walking away Yoko wisperd under his breath Creep as he walked away with Marine beside him.
Watching Taizen, Yoko was impressed at how far he had progressed. "He is getting pretty good. He will become a great water bender, though his pride will hold his skills back. I pray he will come to amends with his cocky side." Though Taizen had performed amazingly he had forgot to melt the ice so I wouldnt crash down. The ice now crumled before them sinking into the water before them but a few hunks of ice fell to the longs sheets of ice that borderd either side of the entrance. Smashing into the sheets of ice the hunks sent cracks not only through the bordering ice but through parts of the wall.
Looking down at the satisfied look on Taizens face Yoko shook his head slightly as he then released Marines hand and began to move his harms very fluently around as thin streams of water began to lift from the entrance way and began to repair minor cracks. "Taizen good job, just next time try not to show off so much and make a fool out of your self." After finishing the repairs Yoko returned to thin streams of water back to the entrance canal. Looking at Marine Yoko grabed her hand again and then returned his view to the canal.

Taizen scowled, his pride taking a blow, "Well, i wasn't showing off! i was doing something fun! show's what you know!" he called up to him, having been very much humbled, which, if Taizen had been thinking correctly, was a good thing. but he wasn't humbled enough, for him to storm off like a child.
Taizen took another deep breath, holding it in his chest, for as long as possible, bringing his right hand behind him, and keeping his left at his waist.he was aiming for the wall of the gate, it was nice practicing waterbending with so much ice around, he hadn't really done any waterbending in the fire nation.
"Hah!" He shouted, expelling all the air, his lungs, while bringing the hand behind his back forward, the effect was freezing the water, but it had the appearance of butter spread over bread extremely lightly. in otherwords, the ice was very thin, all over the place.
"Thanks Tako..." He thought to himself placing his right hand over the thin ice path, he closed his eyes, calling on the moon's strength and pushed on an invisible pressure, until he could touch the ice. The Ice beneath the path became more pressurized, stronger, there was no way the ice would let him fall through now, He walked haughtily across the ice, and reached the wall, once there, he visualized the moon, but the moon was on the floor, he bended his knee's and scooped the moon up, palms up, wrists touching, bringing his knee's up, he released the moon, and was left with his hands outwards, the whole time, the ice in front of him, was cracking, and then burst, the ice tumbling down near him, but most tumbling into the water.
Taizen walked into the small opening, walking to the otherside, once there, he raised his arms up and streamed water into the hole he'd created, and froze it, with circular wave of one arm, and the opposite waving circle of the other. the result was a veryy pretty fpeice of frozen ice, the ice was rippled, because the water was swirling when it was frozen.

Kazuki ignored the water as it was childs play "I have something to do, Yoko take Miss. Marine and Mr. Taizen home." he said calmly but with an athority he then walked twords the Northern Water Tribe Police Department and up to his office on the sky level. Kazuki's door was solid ice from the coldest place of the North Pole it was is Grandfathers Office, he placed one hand on the door and then it made an opening as he walked in the ice door turned back into a door. He went to his desk and sat in to his chair Kazuki began to rubed his temples.
"Master Kazuki, we need your signiture for these documents" said a sweet voice from the door it was a woman around age 24, her name was Miss. Usagi Yamaguchi. She walked into the office and placed a file on his desk, Kazuki grabed a pin and signed the papers "Its good to see your back home Master Kazuki." she said "Miss Yamaguchi do you think I take my job to far or I am being to soft." Kazuki asked looking out the ice window. "Well your just like grandfather when I worked for him. But you have your moments, you know when to fight and when not to fight." she said grabing the files
Kazuki staired out the window "Think nothing of it your still the best just like your grandpa." she told him just as she exit the room.

Looking at Marine Yoko grabed her hand again and then returned his view to the canal. Marines elegant purple eyes glared at Yoko's eyes. She still doesn't know his name yet as she asked softly "What's your name?" as she watched Taizen doing his waterbending. It was slightly magnificent as she kept on watching. She kept on watching Taizen as she got bored. She walked down the ship looking for somethings to do as the first thing that came to her mind was waterbending. She shifted water into sashes as she used the water sashes to wrap her hand with. She danced around shifting and bending water as a amount of water surrounded her surrounding. She kept on shifting and bending as she backfliped, cartwheeled, danced, played, and more.

Looking into Marines beautiful purple eyes Yoko just stared for a while but then becoming bored she walked off leaving him standing there. "My name.... my name is Yoko" he said to himself now standing alone on the deck of the ship.
Leaving the deck Yoko walked down the ramp onto the ice. feeling the solid feeling of the ice under him felt good. Walking past Marine, Yoko smiled at her and said, "Yoko....Yoko is my name." and with that Yoko left Marine dancing gracefully around.
Shortly after speaking to Marine, Yoko reached his house. Entering he let out a satisfied sigh as he ploped down onto his bed. "Its good to be home. I wonder where Taizen and Kazuki went off to. What has been up with Kazuki lately?"
Sitting up Yoko stared at the floor for a bit as suddenly a burst of anger surged through him as he yelled, "What is his problem! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS! UGH!" with that Yoko had punched the side of his wall sending a crack throught the whole wall.

Placing his hand on the wall the ice began to melt and then freeze back instantly. "I need to go train." Hoping up from his bed Yoko left his house and then walked back outside. Heading down the encampment Yoko reached the training grounds.
In his shinobi attire Yoko looked just like a assasin. (Think of Sango off of inuyasha when she is in her fighting clothes with the face mask on.) Walking over to a set of human shaped dummys Yoko placed them out on the feild.
Closing his eyes Yoko turned away from dummys that were placed on the feild. Concentrating Yoko began to bend the soft snow that was settled on the ground and began to make it turn into fog. Turninging all the snow in the amediate area into fog Yoko had created such a think mist you couldnt see 5 feet infront of you.
Bending down low towards the ground Yoko kept his eyes closed as he pulled his split staff from his back.(The staff in seperated into two parts.) Opening his eyes in a split second Yoko slid his left foot forwards a melted the ice beneath his shoe to make a sort of kick off knotch.
Pushing with all of his might in his left leg Yoko jetted into the air. Soaring about 50 feet through the air Yoko fliped mid air as he landed silently behind two of the dummys.
Swinging his left and right arms in a forward motion Yoko smacked the two dummys with his semi staffs. After smacking into them Yoko then jumped into the air and began pelting them with his semi staffs repeatedly. LAnding infront of them Yoko placed the tips of his into the ice as he unsheathed his double blade katana.
In one quick motion Yoko turned around and stuck the dummys slicing them in halph. After doing this Yoko turned towards the direction of the other dummys.

"Yes, those there," Taizen said trying to convince the doddering old man that he wanted the dark blue cloak, and not the blazingly pink shawl, what, did he look like a girl? "On second thought i'll take those too." He said a thought coming to his mind. "I have to repay Kazuki for his grandfather's kindness..."
After buying the incredibly pricy peice of pink shawl, he dropped it off in front of Kazuki's house, making sure to bundle it carefully so people knew it was a package. after that, he went wandering, after a while he could see an old man sleeping on his porch, his parka keeping him warm, and he was beginning to get a bit chilly now that he wasn't wearing his parka, "Hey old man!" he shouted smirking, walking up to him, "Hey! wake up!" he prompted shaking the old man.
The old man coughed a bit, putting frost on his white moustache and beard, "Dumb, old coot..." He said turning, and being violently covered in freezing water. "w-w-what's your p-p-problem...?!" he demanded through chattering teeth as he bended the water off before he froze, "I don't like being called old." he to had a smirk on his face, similar to taizen, when he was young, he must have been just as prideful as Taizen, Taizen sneezed in response. "Are you ready to train?" Taizen sneezed again. 'ye-choo!"

Placing his katana into the ice also Yoko brought both of his arms down as he then slung them forth sending a burst of about 100 shards of ice towards the dummys.
Striking them in thier vital spots only about 20 missed as they flew aross the feild striking a wall of ice. Quickly pulling out his staff sections out of the ice Yoko slung each one at a dummy kadycorner to him.
Peircing them through what would be thier stomach area peices of the staf enterd with ease. Though even they were impaled he wasnt finished with them. Rushing forth as he pulled his katana out of the ice Yoko moved as fast as he could. He struck each of the dummys with his blade slicing them in two.
Returning his blade back to its case Yoko pulled his staff out of the dummys. Linking them together Yoko began to rush towards the dummy full force pushing as hard as he could. Yoko unleashed a assualt on the dummy.
Beating the dummy repeatedly untill it fell apart Yoko fell to the ground. Breathing heavily Yoko panted gasping for air. Though they were in extreme cold his body was now hot. With steam rising from him Yoko layed back onto the ice floor.
The thick and dence fog was now gone and the dummys all were destroyed. Yoko was dead tired and he felt sick to his stomach now because he had pushed himself to his limits.

Getting up slowly Yoko walked over to the destroyed dummys and cleaned them up. After cleaning up Yoko went back to his house and climbed in his bath tub and just layed there in the warm water relaxing.
After a while of lying in the tub Yoko got out got dressed and went to his bed. Laying down Yoko closed his eyes and amediately fell asleep.
(A couple hours later.) Waking up after sleeping for a good while he sat up. His body was extemely sore and stiff from his vigorus training. Bringing up some water from a flower vase he began to bend the water to his sore joints and aching musles.
Restoring his body back to normal Yoko was please with the results of his training. Not only could he push himself to the limits he could also heal himself too not only to remove the pain but to make himself become able to repeat training again and again.

Marine's eyes were attracted to Yoko as she saw him leave. She took a ice piece off a unfinished igloo as she smashed them together into a snowboard shape. She placed the snowboard shaped ice on the water as she pushed and pulled the water continuously and moved around. After a short while she glided back to shore as she looked at the boat for a brief moment. She followed the track of where Yoko walked as she walked to a unknown house seeing Yoko training. She walked towards him as she sat down. "Yoko, um... Even though I just met you for a little moment..." blushed Marine as she continued "I like you." as she ran into the unknown house closing the door.

Kami licked her lips. She hadn't thought that they wouldn't let her in, because of the fire nation being still in an uproar. She swayed from foot to foot, "I'll make you a deal," she told the guard, "If I can melt to door, I gain entrance." The gurad nodded, and she took a stance. She concentrated, and threw a fire ball at the ice door. Instantly, the bottom melted, and the rest of the door collapsed. The guard allowed her to enter. As the black haired girl entered, she noticed she had gathered an audience. She waved, and murmured, "Ah, crap," under her breath.

Taizen had been nearby, walking with the old bender, the old man was moving slower than usual, (Damn rheumatism) and they were passing by the gate, when it fell, "Taizen!!" The old man began, but Taizen was already running towards the girl, waterwhip at the ready.
