Raj looked at her and shook his head. "You said Rei convinced you to come. Shouldn't that be enough to key you in on who suggested it?" He replied, folding his arms. "I've heard talk of war before I left. Some guy tried to get me to join him to take over as the Earth King. If it's anything like some of the other wars I've heard about, you'd either get arrested or deported as soon as it started." He added with a frown. Tsuzuki was their catch, he wasn't going to let a useless government take away what he and Rei had put effort into getting. Not like it was a lot, or even tiring, but she was theirs.

Tsuzuki grinned and laughed, "You have no idea! Seeing as I'm already a fugitive from law in the Earth Kingdom and I'm one of the Fire Lord's Chief Luetenants I think I'd have a problem. Although," she thought allowed, "I much rather like Commodore Okami than Luetenant Okami. I'll probably end up doing that anyway."

"I never trusted the military. To be honest, I'm surprised they even got me out okay. There were only a handful that survived the raid. Either they didn't know where and how many slaves there were or else didn't care." He said, looking at her. "If you're an Earth fugitive...Why would you want to go BACK rather than as far away as possible?" Raj wasn't sure which it was, but now he was starting to think that either firebenders, or just women in general were not capable of even slightly sensible thought.

Tsuzuki sighed, rolling her eyes impatiently, "That's why I said we couldn't go back to Ba Sing Se. Otherwise, I've got a lot of friends in high places that can protect me and the Earth Kingdom's the biggest nation of them all. You really think that guards will be covering every inch of the forests? Besides," she started to answer his question, "the Fire Nation's getting all boring before war and it's not like I have a welcoming home anymore. You already know my reasons for not being here. And the Air Nomads will be pretty angry if we go there seeing as the Fire Nation's starting another war and what happened to their people in the last one."
She walked up to a shop selling jewlery and asked, "Do you buy merchendice from others?"
"Yes, ma'am," the man behind the counter answered, "What do you wish to sell?"
She pulled out the ice ring that Kazuki had given to her one of the last times they had been civil with one another. "An exquisit masterpiece," the man said with a friendly smile, "Five gold pieces."
"Done," Tsuzuki said as they made the exchange. Truth be told, she was willing to sell it for a lot less.

Raj shrugged and nodded a bit. "That is true...But from what you keep saying, I don't think Fire Nation is going to be too sore knowing you're anywhere but home." He looked back in the direction of the ship. "If they're anything like my airhead, I don't think they'd care until their deaths were staring them in the face." He added, turning back as Tsuzuki was selling her ring. It looked nice, but it must've meant something before from how fast she wanted to get rid of it. It wasn't his business, so he wasn't going to ask why she was so quick to sell.
"I know the kingdom wouldn't be posting guards anywhere but in trading villages as well as major cities. It's why I have a place in the forest." Raj frowned a bit and shrugged. "I just wish I knew how it got there...Sometimes I think one morning I'll either be dead or staring at whoever built it. Until then, it's probably safer than the home of any contact. Nobody looks for me, I make sure that nobody likes me. So nobody cares the check."

One of Kazuki nobles and some Waterbending Military Offical walked behind Tsuzuki and her friend. "Lady Tsuzuki. I thought Lord Kazuki was with you on his journey to your parents home, its nice to see you. But If I may ask where is Lord Kazuki, and thats his grandmothers ring. Why is that mercent have it....did he give it to you. WAIT DID KAZUKI ASK YOU TO MERRY HIM!" the noble yelled the store and street went quite, as he stood there. His short spiky hair and his nicely woven polor bear robe.
The military officals on the other hand knew other wise because Kazuki came back to pick up a few supplies mainly for what he used when he is pissed and wants to kill someone. They started to wisper to one another and then looked at the man next to her. "Lady Tsuzuki. Where is Lord Kazuki. We finished the paper work he wanted for the Fire Lord to form a team with your village and we need to give it to him right away." They said.

Appearing out of the shadows Yoko came into the light. His body was tired and his clothes were worn and tatterd. Falling to the groud yards away from the others he lay motionless in the snow. Having vanished for months Yoko and his sister Kina had been missing. Though now the powerfull water bender was back to stay and end this war.

One of the Soilders turned their head and saw Yoko. "Yoko....guys look." he said as the other Military officals turned around and ran to help Yoko. "Welcome back master Yoko. Its been months. Lord Kazuki has been trying to get up to your level ever since you left its been anoying. Please come with us to the Military HQ. Oh and don't tell Lord Kazuki we said that." they all yelled as they took off their cloaks and jakets and gave them to Yoko.

Looking up at the soilders as they helped him towards the HQ for the water nation military. Pulling the cloaks tight around him Yoko proceeded with them untill they had reached the HQ once inside he said with a stern yet gentle voice, "Get Kazuki, tell him I've returned." Sitting in a chair Yoko stared out into the distance as if in a trance.

Tsuzuki felt nervous and depressed at the sound of their optimisim but she was careful not to show it as she turned around, the way she carried herself no longer carefree but full of authority and cruelty, "It's Commodore Okami to you, soldier, and Lord Kazuki and I are no longer aquaintances of any sort. If you wish to retrieve the ring, you're going to have to speak to this fine merchant who I am sure has raised the price of the ring knowing that it once belonged to such a high-ranking woman."
Something arose in her expression that she was growing more accoustomed to dealing with as she answered the last question: pain. "And no, I don't know where Lord Kazuki is."

Raj rubbed the ear closer to the noble, not sure why he had to shout when they were so close. And now Tsuzuki was moody. The situation would have been more favorable if he wasn't stuck in a place with no earth to bend. He moved closer and grabbed her arm. "I think we should go..." He mumbled in her ear, giving her a slight tug for urgency.

The gaurds souronded them and the door as the Noble looked at Tsuzuki. "How dare you, speak about Lord Kazuki this way. I can't believe you would do somthing like this. Just to let you know he loved you, no matter what the imperal guard said, even what I said. Seeing you have no feelings for him." he said as he snaped his fingers the guards grabbed their weapons "Arrest them both." he said pointing and they slowly walked towards them.
{Yoko I made another thread for the HQ. I will post first.}

Raj grumbled and glowered at the guards. He should've known better. Maybe Tsuzuki had planned to get herself arrested, that would explain dragging him along then. "Are you trying to get us killed or just very unpopular?" He didn't mind not being liked, but being so hated that he was hunted was not part of his plans. The earthbender just let go of Tsuzuki's arm and set his hands behind his head.
"I don't suppose it's going to get me released when I point out I don't like firebenders, does it?" He asked, his tone expressing his foul mood. If there was earth to bend, he'd probably make the mistake of trying to attack somebody to escape.

The noble smiled "Personaly I could careless. Your hanging out with on if you did not know." he said as the officers put cuffs on them both. They then placed a chains on the cuffs and then lead them to the Military HQ where the others took Yoko. "Sorry, for you to get into this....Mr.....well we will get your info at HQ." he said as they keep walking. The noble of Kazuki went and took the ring from the mercant and droped a bag of gold on the table then followed the officers.

Raj made a falsely cheerful "ah ha ha ha ha" with a sneer. "Yeah, like I didn't know. Thanks for pointing it out." Jerk...Well, that was fast. First loathing firebenders, never trusted the earth kingdom, now he had good reason to never trust a damn waterbender. All he needed now was Rei to show up to remind him not to trust airbenders and he was going to make sure to kill somebody.
The earthbender grumbled at the cuffs. "People are obsessed with chains..."
