Avatar: Terror Of The Red Spirit

Chapter 5 - Childhood (3)

6 years go by...

Kuro wakes up early in the morning to find himself laying in his red king sized bed but there was a warm uncomfortable yet comfortable feeling on his right side of the body; he pulls the quilt and finds a little girl sleeping next to him very closely , she had beautiful black hair and if you squinted your eyes and looked very closely whilst looking at the back of your memory you'd notice that she had the same face but younger face of Azulan - wait that is Azula. A four year old Azula to be exact.

Kuro smiled as he stroked Azula's hair, a smile appeared on her face. Kuro was getting of the bed but he noticed someone pulling on the sleeve of his red tunic it was little Azula.

" Don't go - Sleep more."

she said as she tried to drag half his body back to bed but it barely moved an inch.

" Sorry Azu but I can't I got things to do. Plus...Why is it that you always sneak in my bed no matter the circ.u.mstances and I can't even detect you sneaking in. U a ninja?"

"I like sleeping with Kuro. Kuro's very warm and I like you Kuro."

Azula smiled. This made Kuro smile; this Azula is different than the previous one as she's more hart-warming and cuter, she acts more childishly than m.a.t.u.r.ely where she acts too much of a smart a.s.s for her age. Kuro is trying to rid off her craziness and simply make her a normal girl trying to give her a normal life instead of a crazy cow heated by everyone.

One trait this girl got from her father is the over-the-top crazy passion as she's too much interested in him that she spends half her day or more close to him coz once she's interested in something she never sets her sights on something it she'll do it at all costs.

However a major change is that she cries more than she would ever have, she cries like an actual little girl which Ozai finds annoying.

Kuro remembers the time when he and Ozai actually argued when Azula was first born.

[4 years ago ]

"I don't want you to drag her into your mess of world conquest!! We don't need another Ozai one is enough!"

Kuro and Ozai were in a solitary corridor with only these two royal having a private conversation whilst the other royal were with Ursula who gave birth to Azula.

"How dare you tell me what to do with my child! who do you think you are? I'll tell you a worthless prince that doesn't know respect! I will do what I want with my children they are mine children not yours!"

"Ha! I am their cousin and as family I show provide them with the best in life. You as a father should do even better than me with providing them better but you are not. You are trying to shape them as your tools for war and I told you before that they are not tools! They are kids and you should be thinking better for them like a life of peace and unity not war and death. We talked about this before...You have a duty to be the best Dad on the world and for that you shouldn't strive for strength and perfection but happiness and love instead for your family."

Kuro snorted. Ozai remained quiet for a while and was thinking this over and trying to collect every word Kuro said, this fat kid is too smart for his age; he respected the kids brains but since he's weak there is little respect.

"2 years ago I promises I would be better for the family but according to what you are implying then that means I am doing bad for the family. I guess I was too excited about the war and my new children I forgot."

Kuro obviously knew that Ozai was lying at the last sentence.

"Yeah. Now let's settle it at a spar!"

And so Ozai and Kuro went to spar for a few minutes somewhere. Obviously Ozai held back in the spar you see he used half his power to beat Kuro but still was pretty damaged as Kuro utilised his martial arts and craft minimal bending to out wit and break Ozai.

The kid and man decided to sort things out and Ozai finally agreed of letting Azula not become a tool of evil.

The two princes were gone under an hour now just after Ozai named his daughter Azula. When they came back in terrible shape with bruises cuts and ripped clothing they were stunned.

Iroh was angry at Ozai but decided to let it slide as his son put Ozai in a similar shape but he'll be more protective of his son from now on whenever he's close to Ozai. He's proud of his son.

Kuro met Azula, she held his finger with her hand and they, Kuro, shook hands with her. He made her laugh by pulling funny faves and tickling her tummy before kissing her cheek and blowing to create bubbly sounds.

[flashback end]

When he was younger Kuro was a fat balloon shaped boy who couldn't properly firebend. But over the years he trained his body to slim down though he lost the balloon shape he still had a little buldge from his belly.

He also improved his Firebending, with his great understanding and growing experience of 11 years he could manage to secretly produce blue flames and what everyone else knows is that he can send massive flames making him a great prodigy in the eyes of everyone.

Although Kuro is strong he still Can't beat the experts but he's close to being a master. Plus he Can't beat the likes of Ozai who's a monster he nearly manages to keep up but Ozai has so much speed and power that it breaks him after few exchanges.

In this world there is an universal energy called Chi which flows through everything even humans, this energy when released outside their bodies allows them to interact with the environment outside. Firebenders however can use chi inside their bodies along with their heat to release flames outside their bodies.

Kuro was developing this technique which allows the user to absorb chi from the surroundings and sun into the dantian granting more energy. However he only had the concept and not the action but soon enough he'll figure it out.

Kuro likes to train early in the morning till the afternoon. He doesn't need to go to school anymore as he finished it earlier than anyone else few years ago as there was nothing to teach him and every kid there was a bother so he liked to have peaceful morning time.

The second thing he likes after training is studying. He liked to do theories, hypotheses and proving them. Like one theory he thought of was how benders are sorted into their element.

He theorized that a person's environment and most importantly soul was were the deciding factor. As human souls are spirits and spirits are part of nature, each spirit can be a part of an element like Tui and La had the element of water.

"Kuro! Let's play!"

Azula ran up to him as she joyously smiled.

"Fine Little Azu but I decide the game."
