"It's a long story.........one that I don't feel like telling right now." While Jing waited for the others to climb aboard he began to eat another apple..

Climbing on the Bison Yoko patted the seat next to him as Milo sat down. Placing his hand on Milos he said, "Okay Jing were ready when you are." Gabing hold of the saddle he braced himself for take off.
(Milo sorry for acting in your part for your character.)

(Tired of waiting for others to post.)
Once the Bison had taken off and went into the air the rush of wind felt good on Yokos face as him Jing and Milo set off heading towards the fire nation. To have a meet up with the member of thier group Kami that had recently fled.
Exit-Enter Fire nation.

Toku arrived at the island home to the southern temple. He ran his Iceberg boat aground and jumped off landing clumsily in the sand. "Hmm? well not walking for a few months doesn't help the leg muscles I guess" he said silently to himself.
Turning around he rose his hands inhaling as they ascended then quickly exhaling he pulled his hands down turning his Boat back into liquid. He made sure to save a small portion of water to store away in his sack.
" Well off to the te---" He was interupted by the sight of the Sky Bison flying away "Umm well that's interesting" He said with a smile as he headed up to the temple.
While walking up to the temple he noticed ash on nearby plants and ground. He broke into a full on sprint as he bolted up to the temple. He found that one of the temples' lesser buildings had been burned to the ground. he saw a few red hot coals trying to reignite so he quickly slid the cork out of his water sack and doused the coal with its' contents. He bent the water back into the container and looked off in the direction the large furry animal took off.
He did some quick thinking and decided to follow them, instead of going to the north pole to stay with his extended family.
He ran to the edge of the island, the side that faced the fire nation, He sighed and struck the ball holding form from tai chi. " Just like before Toku, just like before, You can do it." He focused on the water that lay at his feet. He pushed and pulled the water like his grandmother had shown him when he was a kid, "come on, Do IT!" He shouted at himself.
When the water froze over Toku lifted it out of the water a few inches and jumped on.
The Young water bender was clearly exhausted from just getting off of a journey here, seeking the monks extra ordinary cooking and lodging.
He sighed and raised his hands again, this time in a more offensive position. He pushed his arms all the way in front of him then quickly forcing them back as if to launch off in bobsledding. This sudden movemnet made the small ice patch lurch forward at a speed 3/4 the speed of the bison.
Toku thought to himself about stoping off at the north pole to complete his training, he slowed down and stoped moving his arms so he could think about this.
He decided that if he wasn't a good water bender he was of no help. He decided that he shall go to the northern water tribe to find a master so he could be of some help.
He turned his 'berg' and launched off to the north.

It's been a while, since I last saw land. Kaalu thought to himself. He got to his feet and grabbed the hard wooden oar at his side. He slowly began to turn the small boat about, aiming it at the island Temple. Moments passed and then the soft gushing sound of water between sand and wood came to his ears. He felt the boat rock beneath him as he calmly got off.
He crossed the beachead and approached the rockface. He had heard about this place. The southern temple, only people who could fly, or climb very well, could access the temple. Kaalu had niether of these abilities, he had a bit of experience with Air Bending, but not quite enough to fly through the air, he could hover a bit though. He shifted his gaze to the ground, thinking about it uncomfortably.
A few more moments passed in silence. A small creature scampered by, terrified by the newcomer. Kaalu kneeled softly down to the creature, it was a Squirrat, a small creature commonly treated as a pest. He saw himself in the creature, and lent it his hand. The creature paused, looked at his hand, and sniffed it. It did not seem to sense any danger, as a matter of fact, it lept atop his hand. He got to his feet.
"Greetings little one. What may I call you?".
It twittered and sniffed the air. Kaalu smiled at it, amused by the response. He felt at ease here, for once in a long time he was at ease. Something told him, however, that there was something coming that might disturb his peace. It was just a feeling and nothing more, call it intuition, call it clairsentience, he had a feeling.
He sat down again, and allowed the Squirrat to scamper around, he grabbed a few berries and twirled them with the wind around his hands. Playing a game of 'catch the berry' with the little creature. Green and Blue eyes stared out into space. A few more moments passed, in silence as he thought deeply about where he would go next.

Nu sat in her rooms, absently playing with a light-weight ball. She tossed it into the air, waited for it to fall, and a quick gust of air later, sent it back up. It was an exercise for the younger initiates, a game for the slightly more experienced, and for those at her age, a meager way to pass the time.
She ought to be out in the airball field doing something more productive with her free time, but it didn't feel worth it. Even her bison, Togu, didn't seem eager to fly with her.
Nu sighed, letting the ball fall to the floor and rolled over on her bed. Useless. She would never get more powerful if she just sat here moping. So a village was destroyed. It had happened before, and only training could keep it from happening again.
There was a faint chitter at the window as a lemur scampered up onto the ledge, munching happily on a supply of nuts.
"I don't know," she groaned at the creature. "Is it so wrong to not want to do anything?"

Mei Kyoshu and Shiro stood at the base of the mountain, ready to climb the hard rock surface. He scanned the cliff, looking for the right spot, and then tied a strong rope to one of his arrows. He aimed, getting a clear shot, and fired. The arrow lodged itself into the face of the cliff. Mei Kyoshu tugged on it, finding that it would hold him and his sister if it had to, and used another strand of rope to create a belt that he could use to hold himself up without his hands. This belt was very important; he couldn't shoot more arrows to get them the rest of the way up without it.
When they reached the end of the rope, Mei Kyoshu took out a third and final rope which he tied to another arrow. After he shot this arrow into the cliff and tested it, he and his sister slowly began to climb further upwards. He made Shiro gather the rope they had just used so that they could use it again.
After five more rounds of this, they reached halfway up the mountain and rested on a large cave-like structure heading into the mountain.
(Training Post 1, [Min]-7)
Shiro followed her brother, keeping at least one hand and both feet on the rope at one time. Rope climbing was different than rock climbing and, in Shiro's oppinion, a lot harder. With this, she had to use energy in her arms to pull her up which took more energy than just using her legs like she did in rock climbing. In rock climbing, the climber used their hands to find a clear path in the rock while they used their feet to push themselves up. But the rock in front of her was so smooth that, if she tried climbing up it without a rope, she would fall before she got very far off of the ground.
When they reached the cave, Shiro pulled herself up with much effort; she was tired and needed to rest. She wanted to rest for the rest of the night but knew that, if she did, climbing would be twice as hard as it had been that day. She would lose all of her adreniline. "Mei?" Shiro huffed, "Why couldn't we just borrow a sky bison or something?"
(Training Post 1, [Min]-7)
Mei Kyoshu almost smiled at what she had said but instead shook his head and replied, "Sky Bison don't just come down to the bottom of the mountain to pick up guests, you know. Besides, there's a nice, relaxing spa at the top of this mountain that we can stay in for awhile before we go back out into the world."

Unoticed Yoko flew above the assasins as they left the ship and headed up the mountain, watching as they struggled to go even halph way up he laughed a bit and said to himself, "Too bad they don't have something as great as you Coco." As the assasins enterd a cave halph way up the mountain Yoko flew forwards towards the cave also. Once Coco landed Yoko hopped off and enterd into the cave where both Shiro and Mei looked exausted. "Long time no see.... You never came to the forest so I figured I would come find you myself." Walking over to a stalagmite that was flattened (guessing by people there before them) he sat down and looked at them. "So whats your story? Whats going on? Why are you way up here and I've seen not even a glimpse of Tsu. Who are you? I'm sorry about being so questionable its just Tsu, is my friend not a mark. She was kidnapped by the Dai li, which is an organization no one really knows much about. I read your lips in the hotel the other day talking about killing her. I knew that if I could convice you you might be able to help me get her back... but in the end I would have to turn on you. I'm sorry its just I have to do this one thing so I can be at peace. I will pay double what ever they hired you to kill her for, I'm not of water nation royalty for nothing." Looking at both of them as they took in what he said Yoko sat patiently awaiting a response.

Shiro grinned in greed, "You would really pay double up front?"
Mei Kyoshu sighed and shook his head as he lowered his scarf so he could speak to the stranger, "Forgive my sister. She can only see straight ahead. My name is Kenta and this is my sister Asami. We're assassins born and raised in Omashu. Asami here learned the Kyoshi arts from our grandmother who was a Kyoshi Warrior while I studied the arts of the Yu Yan archers from the Fire Nation. We're here to discuss how we're going to go about kill Commodore Okami."

Yoko looked right at Mei and said, "So Shiro is her true name? But Asami is her code name then is it?" Standing up Yoko looked at both benders intently, "If were going to work together I don't want any lies. Tell me your true names." Looking at Mei Yoko said, "You called her Shiro in the hotel, is that not her true identity? Yes I will pay up front, as long as you bid sware aligance to me. You will be working with me from now on. Every thing I own will be yours as it is mine. Money is not problem, I'm one of the wealthiest people in all four nations. Weapons, armor what ever it may be I can get it for you. You will be my guards as well as my team mates. If this is a decent enough deal lets board my bison and leave here." Turning and begining to walk towards Coco Yoko stopped and turned and said, "What about killing a Commodore?" He had tottaly forgot about this key part of what Mei said but now it had come to mind Yoko was currious.

Shiro grinned and shook her head, "You actually think we'd be dumb enough to use our real names while we were on a mission? You really don't know much about our lifestyle, pretty boy. And, if you did, you'd know that we'd never swear allegiance to anybody."
Unlike his sister, Mei Kyoshu was much more interested in the last part of what Yoko had said. He hushed his sister immediately and raised his eyebrows, utterly amused. "Well, this is amusing isn't it, Asami? He doesn't know as much as he thought he did about Okami."
He bended a rock he was holding into sand before continueing, "You better get away from her while you still can. I don't think that the Fire Lord would like one of the three people directly under him to be hanging out with a waterbender. Or did you know that Commodore Tsuzuki Okami was one of the most powerful and influential people in all of the Fire Nation?"
He loved to tell people things that they didn't know already. It made him look that much more intelligent and the reactions that followed always made him. . . happy. He knew he was becoming like Shiro by doing this but it was one of the few things that made him want to live so he continued to break hearts.

Coco turned and looked at Yoko as if she was ready to leave and let out a slight roar. Yoko turned to look at the assassins and smiled, “So let me get this right, you were hired by the Dai Li to kill a Fire Nation Commodore and leave no trace as to who did it right? Why her? Why not the Fire Lord himself?” Walking over towards them Yoko stood there and looked intently at them. Thinking about how strong and powerful they must be due to all of their training. Taking a seat next to them Yoko looked directly into their eyes and said, “Let me join you. I need to get stronger, so that when the time is right I will be able to lead my nation. I think that if I was to join you, regardless of what mission was given I could do it. I have lived my life trying to help others, but I’ve came to the conclusion that if I am to help others I must help myself first.” When Yoko spoke to them his face was sincere and true, not a word he had just said was a lie. He truly wanted to join them. “Can I? May I join you?” And with that he sat there silently awaiting their reply.

Mei Kyoshu stared coldly at the visitor and replied, "It is not our buisness to know such things. Nor yours seeing as how you have nothing to do with this. Do not follow us, stranger, and you'll stay alive. Follow us and you'll die; it's as simple as that. I give you a warning where my sister here would much rather just do away with you right now. Don't give her that chance; you're nothing to us. Life is nothing to us."
He walked towards Shiro and commanded, "We're leaving. NOW."
"Looks like you've overstayed your welcome," Shiro hissed through her grin before following her brother to the edge.

Standing Yoko turned and watched as they walked away walking behind them Yoko passed them and climbed aboard Coco. Looking down upon them he said with a cold firm voice, "You will regret what you have just turned down. Farwell for now." And with that Yoko let out a snap and Coco flew off heading towards away from the air nomads temple. "Coco if you can try and pick up Tsu's scent. She is in danger and reguardless if I can help or not I must warn her." Looking back beind him after saying what he had to Coco Yoko saw a piece of clothing that Tsu had accidently left behind in the saddle when she had rode Coco. Picking the article of clothing up Yoko smiled and then delivered it to Coco's nose so she could get a fresh scent of Tsuzuki so they could track her down.

"Good riddance," Shiro muttered angrily underneath her breath as the stranger road away on his skybison. "Do you think that we might have upset him?" She asked Mei with a mocking cackle but quickly changed her voice as if she were speaking to a baby, "We could've been nicer. Could've we Mei Mei? Huh? Were we a bad bad gwirl?"
She cackled again, her laughter letting loose in quick, piercing intervals that jabbed the soul with cool icicles.
But Mei was no longer thinking about the stranger. There was now new materials to be molded and worked in his own way. He almost felt like joining in the merriment as he proposed, "Let's wait to kill Okami. I'm sure we could do more with it if we were to say wait until she was in control of some poor, little Earth Kingdom village. We could behead her publically. I'm sure you'd like that."
As he watched his sister think happily about the new project, he added silently to himself that he wouldn't be around for the beheading. He would only help her get to that point; she was insane enough to take pleasure in killing someone for a crowd. He sort of relished the thought as well. But, he had more important things to do. Especially about the war. Truth be told, he was somewhat nervous about it. He could easily be killed but, more importantly, Shiro could die doing something impulsive: something stupid. He wasn't impulsive; he didn't have that problem. But she, she would die by the hands of her own Nation if they didn't help the war effort. They would have to sign up. "We need to sign up as soldiers first. It will allow us to get into the places we need to go," he stated rather than suggested.
"Alright," Shiro agreed, putting complete trust in her brother as she almost always did now-a-days. "Let's go."
