Siyuki felt frustrated, and just awful. She was angry at everything. And she didn't feel like getting a moral lecture from anyone, especially someone who snaps at her for being uncomfortable.
As soon as Siyuki was abou to say something, she heard a voice:
"Siyuki!"
Siyuki turned around; it was her Aunt Meikka. The woman came up to Siyuki gave her a hug, a surprisingly tight one for such a small woman.
Her face then turned stern.
"Siyuki, where have you been? You've been gone all day, you said you'd be back in a couple of hours, and now it's sunset! There better be a good explanation, young lady...."
Siyuki turned red. "There is Aunt Meikka," she said, "But it's a long story."
"I've got time," Meikka responded tartly.
Siyuki took a deep breath: "Well, I was meditating, and then I heard voices..." Siyuki told the story of what happened in the forest; Xia Feng's birth, the firebenders and the fire, and other important details.
"This is Lin, by the way." Siyuki finished, exhaling.
Meikka looked dumbfounded at Siyuki, then gave a weak smile, "OK then.........I'm sure you two are hungry..."
Meikka then turned to Sakurako. "Hello, I don't believe we've met before. My name is Meikka."

The woman was silent. Once again, the rather quiet Lin seemed to be lost in her own thoughts, and Siyuki in a rage before an elderly woman appeared. Saku looked up to see her embrace the girl then reprimand her. At her comment about being late, the woman shook her head and stepped forward to bow to the one who called herself Meikka.
"Ah, no, ma'am, you see, I had just been having a disscussion with your neice, I presume? I apologize for any inconveniences." She said kindly. "It is a pleasure to meet you, I am Sakurako." The Fire Nation woman said with a welcoming smile. Although she did not particularly like the ignorance of her neice, Saku did not judge entire families; she only judged individuals.
Then she smiled slightly at Meikka and stepped back, allowing others the chance to speak. As her thoughts wandered, she looked suddenly at the sky, the sun fading into the distance as oranges and pinks of all shades blended together in a tapestry of color. Soon it would be time to take her leave. Not many wise men would want to be out late at night in the city of Tachi Dai.

Lin simply nodded her head, and looked up at Meikka. Lin's eyes trying to give a message, saying, "I'm just some sad little girl with problems, don't mind me".
I want to be alone, was what she wanted to say to them. She wanted to leave, to be alone, after getting her blood boiled from anger: she wanted to calm down. But no matter how hard she tried... she was never alone.
Lin didn't care if Siyuki, Sakurako, or Meikka saw, so she turned to leave. I've had enough of this. She thought. She turned her head to Siyuki.
"Thank you, for saving me from that fire, but I have to leave," Lin said. Before they could ask why, Lin was already walking to the wilderness. She didn't want to tell them she wanted to be alone, but the message her eyes were giving was screaming, "I want to be alone!".

The woman watched Lin depart, her golden eyes burning deep with hatred, but the small glimmer that did glow was very subtle. For a while she was silent, contemplating the afternoon's greeting. It was useful that Sakurako had met the two girls and their aunt. She had a feeling they would meet again some time.
There were no words exchanged, she simply bowed her head to both Siyuki and Meikka, then backed away into the darkness of the shadows of the buildings. And silence. As she fled down the intricate alley-ways, the Fire Nation woman was confused and disgusted. The world was insane, and so were those two girls.
She snorted as she ran over a garbage can then reached her trusty ostrich Lei, who had been tied to a post near a beat-down inn. As she absently stroked her neck, the woman thought. What was right and wrong in the war? Was there such a thing? She sighed, and after the sun sunk below the last dirty hut, she mounted her steed and dashed off into the streets.
--Sakurako has left the area--
