Tsuzuki read the letter and frowned. Why was it that whenever she got mail she always had mixed feelings about the contents? She flipped the paper over and wrote on the back:
Kazuki,
I miss you too but I never liked you in that way. I think that the fact that your feelings and mine weren't the same was one of the many reasons we had our fight. I want to be friends again but nothing more and nothing less. And, Kazuki, the thing about the waves drifting away from the shore, they always come back to meet.
-Tsuzuki
It wasn't much of a letter, she had to admit, but she decided that it was good enough as she strapped it to the leg of the bird and sent him on his way.
She heard the whack of a boomerang not far behind her and decided to continue on her journey towards Omashu.

Raj didn't bother trying honestly to keep up with Yoko, the guy was wearing on him anyway. What really bothered him was that he was basically complaining about Raj's personality while waltzing through his forest and destroying whatever he wanted because he thought it needed some "trimming." If he were a little stronger, Raj probably would've tried fighting him to make him knock it off, but he already knew he wasn't in a good position for that.
The Earthbender sped up a little when Yoko started to move to a point where he couldn't actually see him. It was his only path to that Firebender he'd lost, so he had to stick with that waterbender for now. He kept thinking about the offer this guy had before. Join his little squad, find the Avatar, help train the Avatar, help people. Help children have a life...Help them from a life like Tamu's and mine... He wasn't sure if he wanted to curse his family's memory or praise it. Right now, Yoko was making him want to curse them for being so influential.

The sun had began to set about now and Yoko felt no more reason to carry the caladium anymore. Droping it on the ground Yoko could hear Raj's heavy steps behind him. Unlike Air benders and Water benders, Earth benders had a sort of heavy foot. Where as a Water or Air benders footsteps seem almost silent to untrained ears they can be heard vaguely but the situation with Earth benders was their steps connected with the earth in a way that made it sound as if they were stomping. Not that it was a bad thing just noticeable.
Seeing Tsuzuki just a few yards ahead Yoko began to rush forwards with emence speed. Even though he didn't plan to harm her Yoko raced forth as if he was about to assault her. His steps were lightning fast as he raced forwards, his foot steps lay silent as he approached her. "Lets see if she can sence me before it would be to late for her to escape from a real attacker." Yoko thought to himslef. Leaping through the air Yoko bounced and began to hop through the tree tops as if he was a monkey. Just as he was infront of her he plunged out of the trees at her.

As Tsuzuki moved out of the forests and into a field with a hill on the other side, she knew that she was close. If she got into the city walls before Raj, Yoko, and Rei found her, they probably wouldn't be able to locate her. Even though Omashu wasn't the metropolous that was Ba Sing Se, it was still a city and a city was confusing no matter where you were in the world. As she went across the fields, she skipped a little to make the journey go faster and have something to do besides walking.

Tsuzuki, having already been halfway through the fields at the time, had avoided Yoko's attack and didn't hear him. She was happily humming an old Fire Nation war tune to herself as she climbed the hill and saw before her the large city of Omashu. heart

With Tsuzuki out of the way Yoko slammed into the ground and shaking him. As bids flew out of the trees from the small tremor Yoko turned and looked ad Raj who had now caught up with him. With a crazy smile on his face Yoko said, "How well can you bend earth?" Letting out a laugh Yoko grabbed Raj's hand and began to run towards where Tsuzuki now stood on top of a hill up ahead.

Raj grumbled and yanked his hand out of Yoko's, dashing ahead on his own feet and then lunging. He brought both fists together and slammed them into the ground when he hit, trying to bring a wall up in front of Tsuzuki, though focusing more on the upchuck of earth that would flip her backward off the hill. He didn't need a wall if Tsuzuki just fell, so that was his primary focus.

Tsuzuki screamed as the wall came up in front of her and, without trying much to stay standing, fell backwards onto her back. Because she was on a slope, all she had to do was lay her head on the ground to see Raj and Yoko running towards her. She grinned and waited for them to get closer.

Raj panted a bit as he trotted up the hill side and frowned at her. He set his left hand on his right shoulder and rotated it a few times. It was sore now from that slam, he put too much force into his bending to think about how hard he was hitting the ground. His hands throbbed but it was something he was used to in that case.
"Wh-what did you run for?" He demanded, doubling over and breathing heavily. The sad part was that he hadn't practiced in so long, the bending was the main reason he was already so exhausted. If it wasn't for catching this firebender, he would be pissed at Rei for dragging him where he couldn't train.

Tsuzuki smiled as she answered, "I was bored hearing you whine about your life. I'm still bored so I hope that you've trained recently!"
With her right hand, Tsuzuki pushed herself up onto her feet after which, she bended out of them, making her jump higher into the air than she normally could do and sending her in a sort of backflip over Raj's head. After she pushed off once more with her hands, she threw five quick fireballs at him. They knocked her slightly off balance but not enough to knock her off of her feet.

Oh damn. Raj jumped back from the flames, stomping on the ground to bring up a lump of earth before him to block the flames, then use both fists to hurl it toward Tsuzuki. Was she trying to escape or did she just have a twisted sense of humor when it came to other benders? This couldn't end well.

Tsuzuki quickly shot a jet of fire at the ground, propelkling her upwards to dodge the attack similar to the airbender strategy of manuever and avoid. Not too far above the rock being thrown at her, she kicked a few more fireballs at Raj. Nothing too fancy or too complex but just firebending at its core.

Raj decided to dive forward, tucking into a roll as he hit the ground and jumping up. He slung the chain off of his shoulder again and swung it up toward Tsuzuki like he had tried on Yoko before. If it could even reach that far, he was hoping to get her wrapped up enough to drag her out of the air. He stomped another rock from the ground, jumped, spun around once and kicked out backward to send it in the direction Tsuzuki would be if he got her.

Tsuzuki was close enough to Raj where the chains did wrap around her ankle and swing her towards the ground but she wasn't so oblivious that she completely missed a rock coming at her. She sent a small fire towards it with enough pressure to send it reeling back towards its sender.

Kazuki and his uncle Sanzo arived in the Earth Kingdom again, this time not too far form Tsuzuki and the others, Kazuki and Sanzo nodded at each other and leaped off the boat and looked at the slashed trees.
"Whats it look like to you Kazuki?" Sanzo asked as he placed his hands in his monk robe sleeves. "Looks like Yoko did something this is his boomerang and its a lot stronger now." Kazuki said running off Sanzo quickly followed him.
"Sanzo what ever happens stay out of it." Kazuki said as he stopped running and then hid behind a large bolder and bushes. Kazuki then watched. "Hey is that your woman." Sanzo asked "She is not my woman she is just a girl I know." Kazuki said as he watched her flames. "She is getting better. " "Wait does that mean she is free. Then I will have her as mine." Sanzo said Kazuki then slaped him in the back of the head.
"Basterd, sit there and watch on my signal we will take her back with us and that will be it." Kazuki wispered as he opened his gourd of water, the large one on his back. Kazuki watched the fight his muccles sore from his chi blocking training but he could still fight.
