CHAPTER NINE

"Hey! You're that kid!" Katara exclaimed, pointing to the earthbender. "You must have me confused with some other kid." he turned around, and you placed a hand on Katara's shoulder, trying to signal that she should shut up.

"We saw you earthbending earlier!"

"Haru!" the woman next to the earthbender scolded, shutting the doors and windows. "Now you've fucked up, Katara." the door opened, and you readied yourself into a battle stance as everyone tried to become 'normal'.

"I just paid." Haru's mother said, but the Fire Nation soldier held out his hand. "Tax was raised." you stepped towards him, lighting a small fire in your palm.

"Listen, bud," you got up in his face, your noses practically touching. "she just paid. She doesn't owe you shit. So get the fuck out before I get more pissed off than I already am." you threatened, but the soldier smirked. "Oh, really?" he challenged, and you threw the first punch, the fire still ignited in your palm.

"Yeah, really! Let's go, you baked bean motherfucker!" the soldiers beside him prepared to attack, but the leader held up his hand. "No. I would like to see what this little girl has."

"Oh, really? Come on, let's find a clearing. Miss, you won't have to pay their "tax". Not on my watch." you grabbed the leader's ear, pulling him out of the shop. "You other dolts, come. If I see any harassment of anyone, I'll kick your ass next."

Aang, Katara, Sokka, Haru and his mother followed you as you pulled the leader into an empty spot of land outside of the village. "I hope you know, I'm a firebending master. You're going to have a hard time even making me break a sweat, so you can get the first hit in." he wasted no time as he sent a blast of fire your way.

You waited a moment, thinking of the water in your flask. Just as it was about to hit you, you created a wave of water, snuffing out the flame. "She's the Avatar! Quick!" one of the soldiers yelled. You clicked your tongue. "No. I'm a Fire Nation citizen, asshole. I'm just open-minded enough to learn other elements. But that's beside the point. Hit me like a man," you grinned, eyes dark. "or you have no right to call yourself a firebender."

He yelled a battlecry, and you evaded all of his attacks, kicking him in the neck. He collapsed, and you kicked his head a couple times, making sure that he was passed out. You turned to the soldiers. "Anyone else? This woman will not pay your "tax raise".

Nobody responded, the soldiers too freaked out to do anything. You spat onto the leader's face, satisfied with the sound. "And I'm pregnant! Do you guys know how pathetic that is? If that's all, then let's go." you spat one last time, it landing on the leader's eye.

"Y/N, that was cruel." Katara pointed out, and you rolled your eyes. "You wanna pull that cruel bullshit on me? You know what's cruel? The tax wasn't really raised. They just want booze money."

"How do you know? They could've raised the tax." oh, sweet baby Aang. "I was groomed to take over the Fire Nation. I know how things work."

"You're a Fire Nation noble?" Haru demanded. "I was. But my claim to the throne ended when I fell pregnant and ran."

"You're pregnant? You shouldn't be exercising like that!" Haru's mother scolded, and you couldn't hold back your chuckle. Did she not hear you earlier? "I shouldn't be pregnant." you joked, but no one laughed. "Let's get ourselves situated, shall we?"

Haru and his mother got you ready for the night, bellies full with food and minds ready to dream. The only problem was that you couldn't sleep. You sat up, seeing your friends on the other side of the room.

It wouldn't hurt if I slipped out for a bit, would it? It couldn't. Only for a few hours. You walked out, seeing the moon sitting proudly in the sky. When you're born, little ones, you'll love the moon. You sighed, walking into the marketplace.
