Fire Queen

Chapter: 16

The next morning was calm like after a storm calm, Mai and Kilo left early in the morning, I don't think they are okay, there seem to be a lot of tension between them, I and Jiang woke up early to go for training, at the beach,

"Jiang that was an awful shot," I said, he seemed a little distracted, "What is happening to you?" I asked, "Nothing, just have to get my head in the game"

I walked up to him, "Just tell me, Jiang, don't make me get it out of you", I put my hand on his shoulder, "It's Kai she is mad at me, she gets mad at every small thing these days"

"Kai, it's not like her, she usually never gets mad, she is fine to me" I am confused, that's so unlike Kai,
"Maybe she is stressed, it's hard for all of us to accept this big change, maybe she is just getting her frustration out on you" I put some pressure on his shoulder, "I will talk to her"

"No" Jiang yelled, a little to fast,

"No.... I will talk to her myself, just let me handle this, you already have al lot on your plate" that's suspicious, he is acting so weird, I nodded it is between them they can handle it,

"Ryu, Jiang, come in, Breakfast is ready" Kai screamed standing at the main doors of the house, "Coming" I replied,

"Let me know if she is okay or not, I know she hides her emotions from me to not make me worried" we are walking toward the house, "I will, but don't worry we both are happy to be here with you"

"All of this looks delicious" I commented, "Thank you Fire lady" Chef bowed taking the compliment, we are sitting around the breakfast table, except Sokka and Toph, he is trying to wake up Toph who refuse to,

"Finally Toph," Katara said looking at Toph, she is a mess with hair going everywhere, Sokka is standing behind her, making sure she won't run back to bed, "I hate you all so much," she said sitting down,

"We love you too" Sokka replied taking a seat next to Jiang, they are becoming good friends, they both joke around all the dam time, it is so annoying,

"So we gonna watch the Play today?" Suki asked breaking her egg, "Yeah we are" Sokka confirmed,

"We are watching that horrible play again," Zuko asked frustrated, "It is on your wife request" Sokka pushed me under the bus,

"I just wanted to catch up, I know parts of the story it will be a good way to catch up" I plead my case, "Well if you want to then okay but the play is not accurate at all let me warn you"

"So if your wife says you are ready but not for me?" Sokka asked folding his arms, we both ignored him, "You will be there to correct it" he nodded,

Kai did seem to be mad at Jiang, Kia is keeping her eyes on the food the whole time while Jiang keeps on staring at her from time to time, what are they not telling me?

***
We sat in the VIP section on the top, "Why do we always sit on top, it's hard for me to see" Toph complained,

Zuko was on my one sight Katara on the other, with Aang and Toph next to her, Suki, Sokka, Jiang, and Kai are on the row behind us,

"This will be awful" Katara said wrapping her hands on her chest, she seemed already pissed, and play haven't even started yet,

"When I was little my mother use to drag us here to watch love among dragons, they use to butcher the play every year," Zuko said leaning into me, I like it when he tells me about his past,

"I use to play the role of Blue Spirit back in my tribe," I told him, he looked at me in shock, "No, really?" he asked, why is he so shock, I was good at it too,
