Those fighting all stopped what they were doing as well, and the few she knocked down were looking at her. A moment later, Yumiko would find herself surrounded by quite a few of the guards. "Don't you remember? No bending!" one of them snapped at her, flames appearing in his hands, though they were weaker and not quite as bright as they would be in the sun and not the rain. Several of the other guards had fire in their hands as well. "Now, no more bending, or things are going to get a bit nasty," one said, looking at her. [hr][hr][center][h1][color=10DC67]Hikaru[/color][/h1][/center][hr][hr] [color=10DC67]"Th-th-that was the plan..."[/color] she stammered out, making sure that her bangs were covering her forehead. Hiroyuki wasn't doing too bad of a job keeping the water away from her, but even with his help, the rain kept coming and was starting to get difficult for him to be able to keep away. The tattoos on her hands were by now completely visible, but the one on her forehead was still covered thankfully, but even still, she was starting to freak out, hoping no one would notice. If only she could actually have decent luck for once, than maybe everything would have been perfectly fine, but unfortunately, that is not how things tend to want to go. If something bad could happen, it almost always will. A guard was racing over towards the fighting, and the water bender who was currently using her powers, when he bumped into Hikaru and Hiroyuki. "Hey, learn to stay out of our way!" he snapped, turning to look at them, but he stopped and noticed what was on Hikaru's hands. Fire appeared in his hands as he stared right at them. "Well look what we have here, thought you lot were extinct," he said, and she was really starting to panic. She'd been found out, the one thing that had been worrying her ever since she ended up in the prison, and now the guy was about to see about killing her in order to continue with the destruction of the Air Nomads. The guard shot flames at her, and yelled for the others, letting them know she was there, but she wasn't paying attention to him any more, she jumped in the air, flipping around to avoid the fire as she formed a ball of air. A moment later she was zipping around, despite being a bit out of practice with her bending, Hikaru managed to do it and was zipping off throughout the courtyard. [color=10DC67]"Excuse me, sorry,"[/color] she said as she knocked a few people over. She was just trying to figure out where the hell she was going, but she just wanted to go anywhere else but towards the guards, who now were no longer paying attention to Yumiko. [hr][hr][center][h1][color=9C3E28]Ryuu[/color][/h1][/center][hr][hr] [color=9C3E28]"You say that, but trust me, the fact that he is with the Fire Nation means that I can seek revenge against my brother as well as help out in the war, so it is a win win scenario in my mind,"[/color] he responded as he glanced over at the fighting that was going on, and the water bender who was doing something she was probably not supposed to be doing. It was understandable, why a water bender would want to try something using the rain, but it probably wasn't the best idea to do it in clear view of several Fire Nation Soldiers. He glanced over at another group of people, a young girl and a man who was with her, but when the Fire Nation guard bumped into them, he figured that would be a better distraction. [color=9C3E28]"I'd suggest using those two as a distraction, since they seem to be causing some problem..."[/color] he commented, before his eyes grew wide when the girl took off into the air and started racing around the courtyard area. So there were still a few air benders in the world. But that likely was going to be a bad thing, considering the guards started trying to hit her with flames.
