Avatar Hitokiri Battosai {Kenshin Himura x Reader} Vol.1

Chapter 4: The Warriors of Kyoshi

You and your uncle made your way to Zuko's room. When you stopped at his door, you turned to Iroh. "General-"

"I told you Princess (Y/n), you should really consider calling me Unc-"

"Well your gonna have to get use to it. If I don't want to be called a princess, I just want to be (Y/n). It's best that I tell brother. There's no reason for him to get angry with you."

Iroh shook his head. "No, it is better if the both of us tell him. Through, I would suggest that you should stand back."

You sighed. "Very well then. Together now. " You agreed and Iroh opened the door.

Sitting in front of an altar with four white candles burning, Zuko breathed in and out with the tempo of the small flames.

"He's calm..." you thought.

Zuko didn't turn to look at you but spoke. "The only reason you should be interrupting me, is if you have news about the Avatar and the Battosai."

Iroh pushes open the door completely and enters the room, holding a rolled up scroll in his hands. "Well, there is news, Prince Zuko, but you might not like it. Don't get too upset."

Zuko still assuming his meditative stance,Calmly. "Uncle, you taught me that keeping a level head is a sign of a great leader. Now, whatever you have to say, I'm sure I can take it."

Iroh tugging his small beard and you step up and hesitatingly speak. "Well...it's just that...we had no idea where they are..."

The flames of the candles suddenly erupt in a fiery mass, brushing the ceiling and obscuring as Zuko rises to his feet, enraged.

"WHAT?!?!??"

Iroh and you protected your faces from the flame. As the flames subsided, Iroh pulled a fan out of his robes and fanned himself. "You really should open a window in here."

He snatches the scroll from Iroh's hand. "Give me the map!" He unrolls it, scanning over the parchment.

"Well, there have been multiple sightings of the Avatar, but he is impossible to track down."

"How am I going to find them, Uncle? They're clearly a master of evasive maneuvering."

Iroh put a hand on Zuko's shoulder. "Do not worry, Prince Zuko. You will find him again. It is only a matter of time."

"Brother, can borrow that? I'd like to study the map in my own quarters." You ask. Zuko passed the map back to you.

You bowed and left the room, determined to find some type of answer. Determined to find the Hitokiri Battosai on your own mission.

{~With Kenshin~}

Sokka holding a map in his hands and questioning Aang's navigational skills. "You have no idea where you're going, do you?"

Kenshin and the siblings are riding in his saddle while Aang sits atop his head, looking back. Appa's fur seems dirty and disordered. "Well...I know it's near water."

"I guess we're getting close then." Sokka said sarcastically.

Katara,  is preoccupied with sewing a hole in Sokka's pants, Aang glancing over at her from atop Appa's head, Momo perched on his shoulder. He concocts an idea to impress her. "Momo, marbles please." Momo dives into his shirt and emerges, handing Aang two small, gray marbles. "Hey Katara, check out this airbending trick!"

Using airbending, Aang manages to spin the two marbles quickly along an equatorial plane as he grins happily. Katara taking no notice and continues to sew. Nonchalantly, still focusing on her task at hand. "That's great, Aang."
