Kazuki caught back up but saw a strange shadow in the trees ahead of him. He quickly leaped out of the tree and to the ground, rolling into the bushes grabbing two small daggers, then watched the shadow who or whatever it was. "Ok, stay calm. This is strange if he was just after Tsuzuki and the Airbender he could have quickly caught up and moved me out of the picture." Kazuki thought as he moed quickly but silently in the bushes not making a sound. "Tsuzuki I tried to help, but looks like its in the militaries hands now." Kazuki though running for the cave to get there before the shadow.

There was a large motion in the trees as Kazuki made his sprint... and a large sound ahead of him, something heavy striking the earth. The figure stared out at Kazuki, only those coldfire eyes visible under the darkness of the hood.
"Halt, waterbender." The fact that this stranger swathed in obfuscating greys with no discernible identification knew that Kazuki was a waterbender in the first place might be unnerving.

Tsuzuki looked behind her after Kazuki hadn't said anything in return and frowned as she realized that he was gone. "Figures," she mumbled then looked at the Airbender, "You havn't spoken in awhile."
It was more of a statement then a question so she continued to walk forwards, knowing that the Airbender would follow as long as she maintained her hold on the scroll. Suddenly, goosebumps ran down her arms as she felt like she was being followed. "Come on," she whispered to the Airbender as she grabed his wrist and ran ahead.
The village was right in front of them. She went down the street, not letting go of the Airbender, and into a house. No one was home as she had suspected so she had nothing to fear. She went to the center of the room where a rug lay and lifted it. There was a hidden door. She then flung it open and told the Airbender, "Hide here and keep the scroll. If they don't know where to look, they can't find you. I won't let anything happen to you. You can get out at any time. The rug doesn't weigh anything."
She handed him the scroll and moved the rug over the secret door once he was inside. She then ran out the door, prepared to look for Kazuki. Something bad had probably happened to him. She was afraid for him even though she was still mad. After running back into the forest, she found a figure in a black mask talking to someone who was immersed in the forest shadows.
Tsuzuki paused for a moment and then ran and slid on her feet towards Kazuki and the stranger, showering sparks from her feet. Her hands were emersed in fire as she snarled, "What do you want?"

Jing looked around the darkened chamber for a few minutes before finding what he was looking for. There in the far right corner of the room was a pile of clothes, it was hard to make out the exact details but he could see a cloak of some kind, a long pair of pants, and a robe/shirt with stylized cloud patterns on it.
A few minutes later he emerged from the room fully clothed, although still looking a little worse for ware. He inhaled, exhaled, threw his arms behind him, and rushed through the town towards his new companion. Jing skidded to a halt right in front of Tsuzuki.

The masked Kazuki was infront standing about three feets away from the man and then Tsuzuki was next to him. "Do I know you Miss?" he said facing the man in the cloak. "First off I am not a Waterbender. Also its new that some one heard me. I am just after this girl and an airbender for the bounty. Now since you stoped me I want to know who are you, and why you stoped me." He said smirking behind the mask.

[[ Going to try and normalize things, since too much time is passing in your guys' posts. ]]
arrow Outside the Cave
The temperature in the area rose perceptibly. "Do not try my intelligence, waterbender. I have eyes and an impeccable memory." It's apparent this person had witnessed the change of appearance Kazuki had affected and didn't really care to hide it from anyone. The figure turned its back on Kazuki and over to Tsuzuki. "Ah, you were the one I wished to speak with as a priority, firebender. Not this bothersome fool behind me."
About this time, Jing apparently shows up. "And here, this airbender, as well." The figure shrugged beneath the cloak, eyes lancing out from under the shadowed hood... obviously not masked, just impossible to tell human features from the darkness.
"Believe me. If I wanted any of you dead or captured, I would have done so countless paces before this congregation of rubbish. I wish only to speak and satisfy my own curiosity." The voice definitely belonged to a male.

Kazuki started to laugh under the mask as he took it off. "Man your good. But I am guessing here to speak about something that has to do with this war correct." Kazuki said smiling as he walked to a large rock and sat on top of it. "Well speak were listning" Kazuki said as he started to bend water from his gourd into a spear and held it in the air aiming to the cloaked man. "Personaly I hate liers so lying will only make me want to kill you." he said

Tsuzuki was in no mood for this but was willing to listen. She irritatingly shot a ball of fire into Kazuki's water whip, making it into steam, and glared, "We'll do this without pressure, thank you."
But then, she turned back to the newcomer and said, "But, if this doesn't end up well, I'll have no problem shooting you down."
Her face suddenly turned bright and happy like it normally was and she asked, "So, what is this that you wanted to talk to us about?"

"You know your starting to anoy me. Little girl." Kazuki said turning the seam into a ball of water and then shot it at her and covered her in heated water. "Oops my bad!"

((Sorry about this one, Koga sweatdrop It's kinda. . . harsh. . .))
As soon as the water hit Tsuzuki, it turned into steam. She was too angry to deal with him right now. She held her tounge for a moment and closed her eyes. She pinched the top of her nose in frustration and said through clenched teeth, "Just get away. I don't have the patience right now to deal with a waterbending fool. I've already been banished from the Fire Nation. The Earth Kingdom is looking for me to make me their prisoner. And certain members of the Water Tribe are trying the last threads of my patience. And spirits forbid I go to the Air Nomads for shelter. I've been pretty good about my banishment up until this point but, now that you've gone all hostile and controlling, I don't have anyone anymore. So, just go. This guy doesn't want to talk to you anyway."
She ended it on a sad note as if she were about to cry and turned away. She couldn't face him. Tsuzuki wished that she could say she wasn't doing it for herself but was doing it for his safety but it wouldn't be true and she hated herself for it. She asked the stranger, her voice on the edge of cracking, "What did you want to tell us?"

Kazuki glared and then turned away from her and headed for the docks.
"As you wish princess." Kazuki said bowing and then walking pass the firebender. "Personaly I don't care what you do to her and the airbender now. They now lost the protection of the Northern Water Tribe." He said walking off with his long brown hair following him. "I did not even do anything to her, just tried to help. Well forget her the fire nation can forget the north poles help in this war." he said walking and the water from the river started to shoot into the air like gisers after every step.

Tsuzuki waited until he was seemingly out of sight and started to cry. She kept up appearances for a few minutes before starting to sob uncontrollably. "I'm sorry!" She told the stranger and the Airbender as she tried to stop without success, "But he was the closest thing to friend that I've had in a long time."
She began to sob until she couldn't cry anymore and began to hiccup. She gave a small, feelingless, laugh and coughed, "I don't think I've cried like that in a long time either."
And, as soon as she thought he was gone for good, she felt the inside of her chest drop into her stomach, all meaning going with it, and realized that her heart was breaking. Not literally, of coarse, but it sure felt like it. She wiped the tears off of her face (it was still a crimson red from her crying), and asked the stranger once again, but this time in a depressed tone as if she didn't care anymore, "What do you want?"

Kazuki reached the ship and then walk on to it, "Were leave." he said with an angery voice, and then looked back. "Wait a second, I have one last thing to do." he said as he leaped off the boat and jumping into a tree and stoped before he got into view and watched Tsuzuki and the airbender. "I can't abandon you here, I still have a feeling for you." Kazuki thought to himself watching her cry.

Tsuzuki shook her head and sighed, waiting for the answer patiently, when she heard something up in the trees. She wasn't sure if she would be happy or sad to see Kazuki again and so she didn't look. She realized that she'd much rather live in denial now than know if, for that one moment, Kazuki stopped to say goodbye forever. Then again, if it wasn't goodbye forever, she would be somewhat happy but would still act slightly cold. . . for a day or two but not any more. At least towards him.

"My brain says leave but my heart says stay and watch over her." he thought feeling his heart beat. Kazuki closed his eyes and then sat in the tree trying to figure out what to do.
