Only you- Rangi & Kyoshi

Chapter 54

"Avatar Kyoshi" A woman called as she rushed beside her. It was one of the women from last night, and by the looks of it she had just come from the markets. "You can call me Kyoshi honestly-"

"They're here on the edge of town, I saw Chin's flags- they're here"

A small part of Kyoshi was hoping that as she responded to the call that Chin would be there waiting for her, it was about time the rat hunt continued.

"You have no business here" She shouted as she reached the group. Though smaller than expected, still causing chaos among shops nonetheless.

"You're the one with no business here Avatar, search entertainment elsewhere" A soldier shouted back.

This is literally my fucking home you morons, if I am to be anywhere this would be the place.

She watched for a moment, while being ignored. It appeared like they were trying to persuade people to join the army.

"This village is not yours to claim" She uninterrupted walking up to the apparent leader of the group. "Where's the shadow in charge of this whole circus?"

"I'm right here"

Kysohi looked down at him unimpressed, "So your claiming to be Chin then"

That had gotten him a strange look from his colleagues. "I am not Chin the Conqueror" He enunciates the last bit of the title. "But I am one of his trusted commanders"

"Are you now?"

Out of the corner of her eye she saw a pair of soldiers banging on a door, almost to the point where she was sure it would give way any moment.

But when she had turned to talk to them, they seemed to take that as the cue to fight. Or rather to run. only throwing a feeble stone wall up in efforts of slowing her pursuit.

Bringing the wall safely in the street she took off. Following the shouts of towns people pushed about in the hurry, it was the only instinct to follow.

Eventually they had made their way into the woods, Kyoshi knew it probably wasn't worth the time, but these men could give her answers.

Entering the woods it had gone quiet before a late area of earth started to fall below her. She knew the trick too well, though it was a fair shot. Especially making the sunken area larger so much larger.

But instead of falling victim to the pit, Kyoshi was able to bend enough air to send her up and through the air to fall beside the pit.

Rolling over she started looking for the culprits, not overly enthusiastic that she had to roll through the dirt in the pursuit. She had been sure to change into a fresh tunic after she heard that Rangi would be back. But maybe there would be enough time, afte this was said and done.

Only there would be no time. In front of the surrounded group that was once disturbing the town, her firebender stood. Proud as ever.

"Need a little help" Rangi called, grinning slightly.

"I thought I had it handled fine actually." Kyoshi shot back.

"Well the way you so gracefully fell through the air just now like a flightless bison had me questioning things"

Kyoshi wanted to run to her, to absorb Rangi in her arms but there was too big an audience. One that was not as small as she thought it once was.

"You've made some friends I see"

A small group of people appeared behind Rangi, mostly women, and a couple children. Kyoshi would've guessed they were like most of the people at the mansion now.
