Only you- Rangi & Kyoshi

Chapter 37

Kyoshi sat perched near the edge of a cliff watching over the town carefully. Waiting to see if any of the members dared to return. She continually scanned the town watching the people flow in and out of the streets. She watched as people gathered into the town's center for a festival of sorts, she had heard Rangi talk about them celebrating being free once more for they were one of the first towns to be overrun.

They were all invited but Kyoshi declined, she wanted to see if the balanced nation dared to test her. Faint music now played in the background as people swirled around the square. The thought of the people being happy again brought a true smile to her face.

Everyone else except for she assumed Rangi was down there eating all the food and enjoying the festivities. Good. Kyoshi thought to herself. They deserve to have a good time.

She was pulled out of her thoughts as she felt a small pebble thrown at her shoulder, then another and another. Eventually she turned around to see Rangi standing behind her with a hand full of pebbles.

"17" She commented as she dropped some pebbles and walked over to Kyoshi.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Kyoshi asked.

"That's how many pebbles I threw to get your attention" She said calmly.

Kyoshi narrowed her eyes. "You could have just walked over you know"

Rangi shrugged. "I thought I could get to 20 before you noticed."

With her response Kyoshi turned back to check on the town, leaving Rangi another opportunity to flick another pebble at her. Apparently she hadn't dropped them all.

"The town won't burn if you keep your eyes off it for 5 seconds." Rangi commented as she walked up closer to Kyoshi pulling her shoulder so that she faced her again. "You know that don't you?"

"I know, I just can't help but wonder if they'll come back. Try and take it over again." Kyoshi admitted.

Rangi only laughed in response. "Fat chance of that you left quite the impression."

"You really think they left?" Kyoshi found herself asking.

"Well we can't be 100% sure, but you made a fair point. If they really were committed the balanced nation they would all benefit much more to report your whereabouts." Rangi pointed out, glad she seemed to say the right thing at the sight of Kyoshi's shoulders relaxing.

"Come on" she said, extending her hand out towards Kyoshi, who gave her a confused look.

"Dance with me, rocks for brains"

Kyoshi huffed a laugh as she took Rangi's hand standing. "I thought you said I have two left feet."

"Oh you do, but I figured we should practice while we have the chance. Just one dance, please"

How could Kyoshi say no to that? "Of course"

They could hear the light music from the festival. It played loud enough to where it simply buzzed in the background. They swayed back and forth, Rangi's head on Kyoshi's shoulder as she hummed.

"Do you want to get married?" Kyoshi asked suddenly. Rangi pulled her head off her shoulder suddenly to face her. "I thought we were already engaged. Was that not clear enough?" She asked.

"No I mean like you think we should get married now? We could pause the plan for another day, probably find someone to do it in the town"

"Why, I never thought you would want to rush things. Do you not think I can plan a wedding?" Rangi asked skeptically.
