"Whatever..."


Mai shook her head but this time her tone held the slightest trace of amusement. She followed behind Ryuu, hands in her sleeves. As attentive and still possessing the same quick reflexese as always she avoided the many jostling bodies about her, noticing that at the same time he seemed to be leading the way and parting the crowd a bit for her. Well he was a gentleman then, one who didn't exactly know what to say out of his mouth a times, but a gentleman none the less. This might actually prove to be amusing.
 
Katara leaves the palace, heading for the festival alone, as Zuko had to attend to some Fire Lord things. He would join her later.


Ryuu smiles. "So, what's with the sleeves?" He asks, nodding towards them. A guy pushes into him and shouts an expletive. He growls, about to shout back, but remembers himself and holds his tounge, not wanting to offend Mai.
 
Mai was about to respond when the same rude gentleman bumped in to her, giving her a nasty look and getting dirt on the hem of her dress in the process. Her eye twitched slightly but she let him pass by keeping him in sight out of the corner of her eye.


"You want to know... Then look at the guy who just bumped me and don't blink..."



The man had drawn about even with a wall and there was no one between Mai and the man. Turning slightly to one side her hand flicked from her sleeve, the flash of four blades in her hand only a brief glimpse before a flick of her wrist sent them flying. They whistled through the air catching the man in the loose fabric at the shoulders of his shirt and the hem of his pants, sending him forward and pinning him to the wall. Tucking her hands back in her sleeves she turned around and kept walking.

Ketsueki sighed, perched on the edge of a roof overlooking the festival. She liked festivals and of course her sister had attempted to convince her to go, but she knew she wouldn't be able to stand that big of a crowd, at least not here. Plus it was a celebration of fire bending, one skill that she truly had very little appreciation for. She sighed, still playing absently with the ball of water, her hands working around it to force it to keep it's circular shape. Slowly she began shifting her hands, forming a lotus shape with the water. She condensed it slowly watching it turn to ice. Holding the ice lotus in her hand she smiled.
 
As Ryuu watches, his eyes widen and his jaw drops. As soon as she moves on, he's back in front of her, though he realizes she could probably handle herself. "That was amazing." He says, looking at her in awe. "How long have you done this?"


Katara walks through the crowds, enjoying the festivities, even eating a few fire flakes as she goes.
 
"Since I was a child... It was better than being bored all the time..."


She shrugged amused a bit that he was so impressed by a skill she didn't think was all that impressive. She didn't know how to bend at all and she had always been bored as a child. Somehow the habit of throwing knives at the wall had developed into a talent she had honed to a degree so great she had even been capable of taking down benders with it.
 
Ryuu nods, deciding he was determined to entertain this girl. "Do you like fire flakes?" he asks her, flipping a coin to a vender, grabbing a bag as he passes. He opens it up and tosses a few in his mouth, offering the bag to her.
 
"What is more Dangerous...A man with Nothing to lose or a man with everything to lose, you choose which is worse...." Senge was a man with nothing to lose, no family, no friends, nothing, and he was a non bender...Pathetic in bending terms and cast a stray by every person he meant for his parents mistake, they knew who he was from day one, as soon as he was born he was branded a Bounty hunter, an assassin of sorts, he could do nothing but follow the path, he had no choice, his name and face were set in stone to be a monster all because his parents were. When they died everyone exiled him from existence... Senge sat a top a roof, he had nothing else better to do, he was black like a shadow, all parts of his body hidden. Senge watched over the people for a while, waiting for something to do, bounties had been low lately and he was running out of money and time, when did he ever have time to slouch around, he was always on the run. Senge sighed and looked around for a bit, not much activity today.. well... other than the festival. Senge hid with the shadows with ease, no one seemed to ever see him in plain daylight so a top a roof he must be invisible...right.... Senge sighed trying to spot who he needed to get, yeah he was on a hunt in the middle of the festival..he never stopped working, most thought he would die from it but he keeps surviving. Senge eventually saw the person he was after, he grabbed the twin blades on his back and unwrapped the long chains coiled around his body and jumped down, his Shirshu very close by and ready to attack, maybe Senge could do this quietly, so many people could conceal him....

Senge walked through the crowd pushing aside people his stature and looks alone showed what he was, but the crowd blended him so well, he was good at this, he began to twirl the weapons in his hands and he got closer once he started to get close to a middle aged man the man screamed and began to run only to hear a whirling blade coming at him, the chain wrapped around the mans leg as he was dragged slowly towards Senge, clearly something had to be done but everyone screamed and ran instead of doing something "This could have gone sooo well!" Senge growls to the man his voice deep and menacing. Senge spun the other blade around by the chain watching everyone around him to make sure no one fought him..
 
Katara hears the old man screaming nearby and races to the scene, taking no time to freeze the man's legs to the ground and cut through the chain with a water whip.
 
"Are you serious!.... That was my best weapon....." Senge says quickly dodging the freeze but his chain was broke now, now he was angry Senge smirked under the mask back-flipping into a dense crowd of people running, a massive Shirshu came running as Senge jumped out of the crowd near katara, his fingers like quick jabs the closer he got, this technique was an old one and it was easy to see he was not a bender "Im doing my job, he has a bounty on his head!" Senge yells at the girl, he had no clue who she was. Senge had no clue if he landed any of the chi blocking hits or pressure point hits. One made things numb well the other made it so she could not bend, depending if he hit them very well.
 
Katara dodges just enough to make sure her chi wasn't blocked. No way was she going through that again. "Find a new job!" She jumps away and brings a ball of water around him, leaving his head uncovered, then freezes it. She walks forward and takes off his mask, surprised to find one so young behind it. "Who are you?"
 
"The Outcast" Senge says the massive Shirshu flinging itself at the ice, Senge was flung outwards, he slid his mask back on and got up "Stop freezing me....." Senge says getting into a stance, ready to dodge anything, The Shirshu got up and joined him, it however did not attack katara it instead paralyzed the man who had uncoiled himself and now fell flat whining about how he was froze now. The Shirshu faced katara its tongue hanging out prepared "This is a standoff......you freeze me he gets you, you freeze him I get you....stupid bender.....thinking your so much better than us nonbenders....." Senge says rage fueling him now, he would never forgive benders for what they did why would she not let him have the guy, what was her problem Senge questioned.
 
"I am not better than anybody!" She yells, having water at the ready. She could bloodbend them both, but she doesn't; she hates that she can do that to people, just take away all control they have.
 
"Then why do you just go around ruining peoples lives, that man you tried to take from me, hes the only money I have got in a month..." Senge says, bounty hunters were not all that bad it just depended on who they were working for at the time, the one secret Senge had was he could not be blood bended, Well he could be it just did bad things to his body but she did not know. Senge had a dark past and he was blood bended once when he was younger and he almost died from it, for some reason when ever he was bended like that it screwed him up, messed up his blood, made him sick and hurt. Senge pulled the chain back to him and wrapped it around his body, as did he with his double swords, he held his two fingers up ready to block chi.
 
"Oi is this what you two are fighting over...?"


Ketsueki sat on the edge of the roof, holding the man in question by his ankle. There were little patches of ice on the ground and wall indicating the method by which she had gotten to the ground and back up onto the roof so swiftly without being notice. The man was squirming which made her frown. She loosened her grip, letting him drop a few inches before catching a grip lower on his ankle. He stopped his squirming immediately, what would have been a scream muffled by the ice frozen across his mouth. She usually felt bad about tormenting people, but having two people fighting in the streets would eventually attract guards. Besides the sad excuse for a human she held by the ankle was fire nation so she didn't exactly feel bad. There was a brief cold look in her golden eyes before they regained there usual amiable flicker. She rested her chin on her hand a small smile pulling at her lips.



"You can have him if you want... As long as you to stop this silly fighting... It's ruining a peaceful night..."

Mai had been skeptically about to accept some of the fire flakes when the commotion started. Instead of following the crowd and running away she grabbed Ryuu's wrist with one hand, flicking some of her knives into the other and ran towards the source. She stopped when she drew close enough to appraise the situation. She recognized katara, but the weapon weilding boy and the amused looking water bender she didn't know sighing irritably she dropped her blade wielding hand to her side. She shook her head a sigh escaping her lips.


"Is everyone around here crazy...?"
 
Anno was finally at the place. She put her backpack down for a moment causing the ground to crack under the heavy weight.


"I should really sort my things out!" She said to herself, but only moments after she was distracted by some glass figures, obviously there to lure turists in.


"They are made in the crystal mountain, forged by the best firebenders in the country!" She swallowed the salesmans every word, but then suddenly she heard an old man scream from a place nearby, so instead of bying anything she jumped on top of the table and grabbed a sign and swung herself on top of the building, she began running but turned and yelled at the man screaming at her for ruining his shop.


"Sorry take the bag, take everything i own, i don't care about it anymore!" She felt she was heading for something exiting. And she was, because as she reached a square she suddenly saw something she had been searching for, for 2 years. Katara of the waterbending tribe was down there, bending and everything. Anno got stars in her eyes, but she soon found it weird that Katara was bending, until she saw the figure across from her, a mysterious man, but she had a feeling she had met him before, somewhere in the earth kingdom, the man that screamed was running away but he was soon hauled up by his ankles by a gril on the rooftop across from her. She jumped down in front of katara and said.


"Whoa relax, what is going on, you two are scaring the innocent people, and ruining my countries traditions! And you let that man down, he doesn't deserve that!"

Aang flew down to the heart of the city as fast a benderly possible.


"MOMO!!!???"


He heard a disturbing voice yelling at someone angrily and figured it couldn't be anything good. Launching himself with earth towards the sound he landed behind Katara.


"Katara! Where's Momo! Someone said they saw a flying monkey soaring over the houses!?"


Glancing to his right he noticed what Katara was pre-occupied with.


"Oh...Hi what seems to be the problem?" 
((Sorry the site was freaking out for me))
 
"ALRIGHT!.." Senge yelled in his deep angry voice as of now "Jeez....The question is are you all criminals because that man your holding, dumb water bender....is wanted by the ruler of Ba Sing Se!....When i said i was a bounty hunter I meant it, I hunt for any man who gives me money and the king asked me to find this guy,... clearly i was lied to they said he was dangerous unless they meant you people..." Senge says calming down as increased numbers of people came the crowd started to come back they seemed to be angry at Senge yelling and throwing things, he took it, he always did "I am a killer no more...." He whispered to himself the people just kept getting angry, they knew what he was and who he was, a monster...
 
"Hey hey!" Aang yelled as the crowd got louder, "The fight is over! Isn't it?" He whispered the last part to the strange bounty hunter.


"Follow me, I mean if you want to...we can have a private talk."
 
"Don't tell me what to d..." she turned around and looked for the source of the voice. Her mouth almost hit the floor when she saw who it was, and she instantly ran to him, and took his hand and shook it roughly.


"Hello sir.... kind of weird calling you sir since i am older than you... but who cares. I have been searching for you for 3 years now and i finally found you, and here of all places.... who would have known, right? So how are you? Are you alright? How zuko? and sokka? and.... well katara seems fine... you are probably wondering why i know all of this, well i saw this play and... no now i am babling sorry!" She raged on not taking a breath, shaking his hand the hole time, looking at him with stars in her eyes.


" I will follow you everwhere... well not everywhere but...!
 
Aang's hand wen't numb about through the 3rd shake and he tried to keep up with the girls bouncing tongue.


"Hi hi hi hi! I am sure you are saying some very intelligent things...but can you slow down because I didn't hear a word you just said. You know what I am a little busy with this dude," He points his thumb over his shoulder at Senge, "Why don't you come over for dinner? I'm sure we can find a spot, I mean there is like 80 and there are like 5 of us so...yeah see you then!"


With that he turned to Senge,


"So...you...me...walk?"
 
"Oh then you can most definitely have this guy... You seem like a nice enough guy anyway..."


Ketsueki bounced to her feet yawning lazily as she yanked the still frightened man up from the ledge and hefted him over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Pulling the water from a nearby fountain she grinned sardonically and started to make a path around the cluster of loud people freezing it into ice as she did so. The avatar and a whole bunch of other people showing up was a headache she did not need. Rubbing her temples she hopped onto the ice sliding along it with ease, brushing low near the ground to toss the male at bounty hunter before heading upwards to the top of the next close building. She gave him a grin melting the ice behind her to continue using the same water for her path and to help push her forward. Landing atop the next building she formed her next slide, continuing her path between buildings until she was far enough away of observe quietly without the added headache of listening to the shouting and babbling. She chuckled softly shaking her head.



"This place..."
 
Eating with the avatar. This was her big shot, she could not blow this one. She went over to the man with the hat and looked at him.


"So do you wanna come?" she asked.
