[b][i]BOOK ONE: WATER[/i][/b][hr][@Polaris North][@FantasyChic][@Morose][@Nallore][hr][hr][/center][center][h1][color=10DC67]Hikaru[/color] and [color=9C3E28]Ryuu[/color][/h1][/center][hr][hr]

	[color=9C3E28]"Sora,"[/color] was all Ryuu said in response to Jia Li's question, though he almost slightly flinched at it, hearing himself say that name. He didn't care much for Sora, especially since he had betrayed their family to the Fire Nation, but that didn't really matter now. Since they looked alike, it was pretty easy to just pass off as him, since there wasn't much else he could do, and it made it easier for him if he was on the run. Though there were a few problems at passing off as someone else, like what would happen if they ran into him or something. The world was big though, so the odds of that happening hopefully was slim.

	Hikaru looked over at Rila when she handed her the crutch. She didn't know whether Rila would be alright with that ankle of hers, but she wasn't going to turn down any sort of help, since odds were when it came to travel speed, she felt like she'd be the slower one over all. [color=10DC67]"...Thank you..."[/color] she said, giving her a slight smile as they walked along. She wasn't too sure that the day was over, as far as she could tell, her problems were just beginning.

	The group actually managed to make quite a bit of a distance away from Takuma's home, and somehow they had yet to run into any sort of trouble. Ryuu was getting a bit suspicious of this, since he felt like with how many soldiers they had seen before, that they should have run into someone by now. Of course, his mind had to say something, since it was then that he heard footsteps behind them. They had been having to move slow, since they did have two people with leg injuries.

	"Where are you all headed?" a voice said behind them, and turning, they'd see that it was a Fire Nation soldier, or more of 5 of them.

	[color=9C3E28]"We were just seeing about heading towards another town, we were just passing through, visiting a few friends while we were here,"[/color] Ryuu said in response, he purposefully made his voice sound a little different then normal, since it could cause problems if someone recognized his voice now. The guard who had speaking to them just nodding his heading, sounding a bit convinced about the subject, as did the one next to him. However, the other 3 looked a bit suspicious of the group, and one seemed to be ready to attack them if they weren't careful.
