guuhh... this one is totally a filler, and in my eyes is actually somewhat pointless. but hey, the purpose was to unite the two groups, and it seems to have done it very well.
And on a positive note, Cheng and Taki reunite, and so that guarantees some explicit action, since we all know that they can't keep their hands off of each other.
oh, and this chapter is funny. why? because Tenoko is in it. how does that make it funny? because any chapter that has Tenoko in it is always funny in some way. trust me.
CHAPTER 38: WE'RE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN
“So we lost,” said Taki, sitting up in her bed; she had gotten some nasty wounds from the fight, and it was Koara’s healing magic that had saved her. She just needed some rest. “Do we just dwell on that fact or do we move on to a new frontier?”
“I’m surprised you’re the one to talk,” Zakura chuckled, “you’re half dead. Cheng-Cheng might be disappointed if he can’t have his Taki.”
Taki giggled. “That’s the spirit, Zak,” she said, “I don’t care if I’m hurt. Your objective’s more important than mine.”
Zakura looked at her and raised an eyebrow;
“But can we meet up with Zinjamyn’s group soon?” she said, almost sounding like a little child, “I do want to see Cheng-Cheng again.”
Koara, who was also in the room, raised an eyebrow. Taki whimpered and gave Zakura puppy eyes. Zakura laughed.
“Fine,” she said, laughing, “Provided you think fast.”
Unfortunately, Taki didn’t, and before she knew it, Zakura had dislocated Taki’s jaw. Naturally, it hurt Taki, which only added to the pain she had suffered from the war. She whimpered again, not getting angry like Zakura had hoped.
“Awww, don’t make me feel bad now, Taki...”
But before Zakura could do anything, Koara had stepped in and repaired Taki’s jaw. The technique Zakura used to “break” someone’s jaw actually only dislocated it, and with a simple waterbending technique it was easily fixable.
“Taki,” said Zakura, “what do you call a woman with a dislocated jaw,”
Taki didn’t answer. She expected it had something to do with her.
“I don’t know what you call ‘em, but I’d call her Alzar.”
Taki chuckled. “You don’t need to make fun of Alzar to make me feel better though,” she said, “just give me my Cheng-Cheng.”
“I wasn’t making fun of her,” said Zakura, “tell her that joke and she’ll probably just challenge me to an Agni Kai. It’s what she does. She’s outgrown getting mad at me about it. Shinon might get annoyed though.”
“Well,” said Aiku, stepping in, “you do seem to bust her jaw quite often,”
“You know why too, I presume,” said Zakura, “but hey, enough bickering. I’m gonna go get us a boat out of here. I’ll see you all in the Southern Water Tribe.”
“This soon,” Aiku exclaimed, “whatever for,”
“Maybe to tell the reinforcements I ordered from the Southern Water Tribe to call it off,” Zakura replied,
“Wait,” Aiku exclaimed, “seriously?”
“Of course not, stupid,” Zakura replied bluntly, laughing, “I’m the avatar. I do what I want. And right now I want to go to the Southern Water Tribe and find out how our friends there are doing. I wonder if they’ve won their war or not.”
“Ooh, bloodshed,” Taki exclaimed, her mouth twisting into a huge grin, “let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!”
“Calm down, Taki,” said Zakura, “I’ll twist your arm if you try to go in fighting in your condition. You need rest.”
“What,” Taki snapped, “I’m fine. I’ve never felt better.”
“Stand up,” said Zakura, grinning. Taki did so with no difficulty.
“Try not to buckle,” Zakura warned, and then snapped a piece of cloth at Taki’s thigh. She winced in pan and went onto her knee. She did the same thing to Koara, and she didn’t flinch. It was just to prove that Taki was still pretty badly wounded. She stood back up. Zakura poked her stomach, and she again flinched heavily.
“Ouch,” she snapped, “ooh...” she pulled her hand away and pulled up her shirt. The bleeding had stopped, but she still had a nasty wound on her stomach. Koara said that it would close up to the point where it would almost be unnoticeable, but for now it was going to hurt.
“Well, Taki,” said Zakura, “Get dressed. We’re still going, even if you are hurting. You know that I couldn’t stop you on one of your bloodlust crazes anyways—or rather, I wouldn’t waste my time trying.
Taki laughed and began putting her Kyoshi Armor back on (she was obviously not naked before that, but she was also obviously not sleeping in all that gear)
Within 15 minutes Taki was completely decked out, but even in her Kyoshi armor the noble warrior was limping and staggering. She was clearly badly injured. Nonetheless, Koara had done all she could; Taki just needed rest to let herself heal. Nonetheless, within the next hour or so their group was on a small boat headed for The Southern Water Tribe. With them was what was left of the 9th, 10th, 13th, and 18th divisions. The 21st Division remained in the Fire Nation for the time, as it was the one that was mostly intact.
Since the Order invaders were coming from the east (and were stopped at Toku before they could reach the Southern Capital) and Zakura’s group was coming from the west, they had no trouble reuniting, and good friends met once again.
Aiku met back up with Zinjamyn, Zakura said hi to Mulan, Lehran laughed to see Koara unhurt, and Cheng actually jumped on top of Taki, being completely ignorant that she was in great pain from her injuries. Luckily for them Taki was just looking for a room and happened to find Cheng in one, (therefore they were in private) because before Taki was able to explain how much she was hurting, (especially after getting knocked onto her back) Cheng’s mouth was all over hers.
Although Cheng was too absorbed in the moment, Taki was trying to push him back. She needed to tell him how much she was hurting right now, but naturally, Cheng didn’t want to stop. Taki was actually fine with it as well, but she needed to tell him something.
Unfortunately for them, Zakura ended up passing by, and all she heard was Taki’s groaning, which came from her trying to push Cheng back. However, to Zakura, they had a completely different meaning. The door suddenly flew open and Zakura was standing there, grinning. Cheng pulled back, and Taki stopped.
“Wow you two are good,” she said, “I’ll leave you be now.”
And surprisingly, Zakura left, but she was laughing to herself.
“Cheng-Cheng,” said Taki earnestly, “I just wanted to tell you something”
“What’s wrong, Taki,” he asked, looking slightly worried based on the tone she was using,
“That really hurt,” she replied, and she pointed to the places on her body where she still had sensitive wounds; “I as hit here, here, and here,” she said, “and well, getting tackled to the ground wasn’t the nicest on the wound on my back either. All I’m asking is can we ease up or go somewhere more friendly than the floor?”
“I didn’t know you were hurt, sweetie, he said apologetically, “I just missed you is all,”
Taki giggled. “You don’t think I missed my Cheng-Cheng,” she said, starting to fake-whimper, “I... I’m hurt.”
Cheng laughed, hoisted Taki gently into his arms, and, despite all her heavy gear, Cheng lifted her up with little difficulty. From their, their time was their own.
“So,” said Zakura, “I take it from the surrounding area that there was a glorious victory here as opposed to our glorious loss in the Fire Nation, am I correct?”
“Aye,” Koara replied, “Kimiko in particular was incredible.”
“Really now,” said Zakura, raising an eyebrow, “what exactly did she do,”
“Well,” Koara replied, “for one thing she reminded me why her family was so prestigious. That girl had talent just as much as they did.”
“You didn’t answer my question,” Zakura laughed,
“She used a dragon,” Koara replied, “it was huge and fiery. I forgot that the Nagishima family had been famous for their ability to make dragons of fire. She almost single-handedly held them off for the first while. I wonder what sorts of other secrets that kids has...”
“I see,” Zakura replied, “but now I have another thing to ask: do any of you here know of The Warrior of the Black Hand?”
This caused Tenoko to move, as she had been snoring in the corner, her head tilted back and a line of saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth. She snorted and stirred, but didn’t wake up.
“Tenoko,” Zakura barked, just to wake her up, but she soon learned that that was a dumb move. Tenoko sprung awake and instinctively threw water at whatever was directly in front of her, which happened to be Zakura, who was now soaking wet, her arms crossed.
“I’m awake,” she said, “hand me another drink.”
“Alright,” Zakura replied, and bending the water off of her, she threw it back at Tenoko, who spluttered, and now was REALLY awake. Zakura asked the question again, and Tenoko’s eyes popped open.
“The Warrior of the Black Hand,” she exclaimed, sounding serious for once, “aye, I knew him. I was the one who ended up defeating him.”
“He’s back,” Zakura replied, and Tenoko’s jaw dropped. Her reactions were a little more extreme because as always, Tenoko’s mind was not all there; nonetheless, she was aware of what Zakura was saying.
“How,” Tenoko exclaimed, “he’s dead.”
“That’s what I theorized,” Koara said, “but the black armor was unmistakable. I believe someone else has taken that name, but who is powerful enough to do that other than that one girl,”
“Katara Altina II,” said Tenoko, still thoroughly soaked, “no, it couldn’t be her, could it?”
“If it was,” said Koara, “she did a good job at controlling herself and covering her voice. I guess we’ll worry about it when we see her or The Dark Warrior next, you know?”
“Aye,” said Zakura, “let’s enjoy this victory while we can. I mean, sure there’s gonna be more hard times coming, but at least We’re Back Together Again.”

And on a positive note, Cheng and Taki reunite, and so that guarantees some explicit action, since we all know that they can't keep their hands off of each other.
