As the sun rose over the city, I saw that the waterbenders were already hard at work rebuilding the city and the walls. Walking towards the palace I could also see them taking some of the remaining Fire Nation soldiers prisoners. I was relieved to not find Zuko among them, "He must have gotten away then."
Then I noticed Katara, Aang, and Sokka hugging with relief and Momo looked at them. Katara and Aang laughed, then Katara said, "You too, Momo."
"Come here," encouraged Aang as Momo joined.
"Is there room for one more?" I called.
"Hikaru!" cheered Katara as she ran over to me with Aang and Sokka following behind. I held Katara tight as the boys joined in.
"Thank goodness they're ok!" Was the only thought going through my head, until I realized, "I guess they didn't need me watching over them after all. I guess, it's time to head out on my own then."
After we let each other go, I said, "Guys, I have something to tell you. I got word about Leviathan, he's in the Earth Kingdom by Ba Sing Se. Since Aang's going to be here training, I really need to be going to find him."
"We understand Hikaru," nodded Aang.
"But we're actually not going to be staying either," corrected Katara.
"What do you mean? What about Aang's training?" I asked.
"Master Pakku is heading to the Southern Water Tribe to help rebuild, so he's leaving Aang's training up to me," explained Katara.
"Besides we need to start making our way to the Earth Kingdom ourselves to King Bumi, so he can teach Aang Earthbending," added Sokka.
"I know, you want to head to Ba Sing Se to find Leviathan, but if you want, since Omashu is on the way. We can just travel together until then," offered Katara.
"What do yah say Hikaru?" asked Aang cheerfully.
"I-I guess it couldn't hurt to spend a little while you numbskulls," I joked, "Your all hopeless without me."
"Hey we can handle ourselves just fine!" snapped Sokka.
"I'll believe it when I see it," I laughed. Sokka continued to argue, but it was just met with laughter from the three of us.
"Ba Sing Se...Hisho, I'm coming,"
