Rainbow's Gift (Avatar The Last Airbender Fanfic)

47. I'll Kill You

My weeks had been going great: Work, then hanging out with Zuko then hanging out with Sokka. I don't think I could have gotten a better timetable for a normal day. In the beginning, I felt horrible about not telling the team that I worked with Jet, or that Zuko was in the city. I'm pretty sure Toph realized something was up every time they asked about my work. But after some time I got used to lying about it.

Hanging out with Zuko felt like the olden days, two kids who didn't care about the world except them. All we lacked were bullies, and I'm glad Azula and her squad were not in the picture. Yes, he had changed and was more angry and cranky sometimes than before but I couldn't complain. Life hadn't been good to any of us.

One thing that kept on nagging me at the back of my mind was Jet. Maybe I was being paranoid but he was acting weird. He also kept on looking at me like he wanted to tell or ask me something. I told Jin and she told me that I shouldn't worry about it.

That was what was running through my mind as he called me over on a normal workday. I had just had a laughing fit from Haruto's jokes,( he wasn't funnier than Sokka though), and I was all smiles. I sat down at a table and smiled at him. He returned it, half-hearted.

"What's up?"I observed him, and he seemed to be doing the same thing.

"Promise me you won't get angry at what I'm going to ask you." He said gently like he was trying to calm me before I got angry.

"Nowadays, I don't make such promises. I can't control my anger." I said carefully, now wondering what he had to ask.

"You know the tea maker and the waiter at that tea shop very well, right?"

"Yeah." I frowned. Where was he going with this?

"So you know they're fire benders?"

I didn't show any emotion on my face but I watched his. He looked so sure of what he was saying. How did he know? I decided not to lie. I wanted to know how he figured it out. Iroh and Zuko were always so careful.

"Yes."

"Of course, you know that you're from the Fire Nation." He said in an angered voice.

"Excuse me!" But then it came to me when I remembered seeing him outside the tea shop through the window. "You are spying on them? How dare you? I thought you said you had changed."I said standing up from the table.

"I don't care what I did. The Fire Nation is in Ba Sing Se. They need to be taken out or killed." He said it so strongly and I was trying my best to control my growing anger.

" I get it now. So the only reason you wanted to apologize to me was because I am the rainbow sylph." I walked up to him till we were a few centimeters apart. I glared at him and said every word as if I was talking to a child."If you dare hurt them, I will kill you. If you spy on them again, I will kill you. If you tell the Dai Li, I will kill you. And if I kill you, I will haunt your spirit in the spirit world for all eternity." I stabbed his chest with my index finger.

We stayed silent for the next few minutes, my threat sinking in. I was shocked I wasn't grey by now, but I could feel it coming.

"You're cute when you're angry." He whispered to me, smirking. And that tipped me off the edge. I slapped him and then I punched him in the same spot. I did a roundhouse kick in his stomach and he went flying and hit the nearest table. I heard running and sooner or later Jin, Hina, and Haruto were by my side.

"You're okay," Jin confirmed and I nodded knowing I hadn't gone grey.

"What did he do this time?" Haruto asked as he slung his hand over my shoulder.
