[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

(A/N here ya go, enjoy the ride! although, I really should put this through spell chech.... like hell I will though! >.<)Chapter Five: Are You Sleep Deprived Or Something?"Um...excuse me, but-""Why the hell are you lurking outside our camp?" Demanded one of the two men who had come to check up on the noise. One was big, we're talking little John big, with shoulder length black hair. He, surprisingly enough, was the timid, quiet one. The other, obnoxious, gypsy was a Barry Manilow type. You didn't have to see his fake smile to know it'd be white and shiny enough to burn someone's eyes out. (A/N Seriously. You know in Copa Cobana where he's all ' but just WHO shot WHO?' You can just see him smiling. Well, ok...maybe you don't know. )"Teak, you brain-dead bastard, is that how you treat one of your own kin?" It took a while for Emi to recognize him, especially in the dark forest with his ebony face in shadow, but when she finally did she could have bit his head off."...Emicca?" The Little John one asked, sounding even more unsure of himself than usual. Teak hit his shoulder, squinted at Emi in the dark, then gasped."...No... it couldn't...HEY! HEY, EVERYONE! I THINK I FOUND EMI!" Teak turned around and cuppped his hands around his thin, chappped mouth to yell."YOU STUPID, INCONSIDERATE, GLORY-HOG-" Emi started to yell, majorly pissed off and seriously considering literally biting his head off (which she decided, on a second thought, would be entirely too messy) when she was cut off by a female voice drifting through thick bushes, the music and talking fading fast. After all, once a gypsy, always a gypsy. Kin is kin. Family."Emi?" The voice asked, starting to get choked up now. "Is that-" Emi motioned for Katara to follow her and linked arms with Aang and Sokka, then did a head-long tackle to get through the bushes and got stuck halfway through in the thorns.0o0o Kienay's P.O.V 0o0o"DAMN, CONFOUNDED, BLOODY-" yelled an angry female voice from somewhere inside the thick, dark green, shadowed bush; she sounded about the right age to be Emi, and a... a male voice around their, his and Emi's age, cut her off."Damnit, Emi! The bushes are about to really be bloody if you don't shut the hell up! You're the one who got us here in the first place!" the teenager said."Oh, come on you guys! Cheer up! Things could be worse, after all. Hey, who knows, living in a bush could be fun!" said an adolecent, absolutely CHIPPER voice.'"Uh...not exactly helping, Aang...," muttered someone from the other side of the bush."I'll show you helping!" The older guy yelled; the bushes gave a violent shake, and out fell three people in a heep on the hard, cold earth, the girl ending in a very awkward position with the older guy on top of her. Her face was covered, but Kienay's heart skipped a beat, because some of her golden hair had fanned out under her in the fall and caught the firelight. The same color as Emi's... The greenary gave another loud rustle, and out fell a Water Tribe girl of around fourteen. But he didn't notice her...He noticed the other girl, who had now pushed the boy off her (while cursing profusely, of course) and was dusting herself off in the middle of the tree sheltered clearing, dim firelight casting shadows on her pale face, her eyes not looking up from the task at hand... Mismatched eyes...Eyes he knew well."EMI!" Senny screeched like a banshee, running over to Emi and flailing her arms around the unsuspecting girl.0o0o Emi P.O.V 0o0o"Oh my dear gods...," Emi breathed, barely keeping herself from believing this was Senny. No. It couldn't be. It was just another one of her dreams, this wasn't really happening...but the dark, comforting arms wrapped tight around her felt so real, the person sobbing into her shoulder, taking in shallow, ragged breaths, looked so much like Senny, the smooth raven colored hair forced into her face... Emi couldn't stop a single tear from gliding down her cheek, leaving a dirt trail behind it on her dusty, pale face. Then another. And another. Then a strangled sob."Senny, please, your fucking chocking me here!" Emi said a few seconds later, smiling despite herself. Senny laughed and reluctantly pulled way, holding Emi at arms length and studying her."Ok, while I know you love to confuse the hell out of us, mind an introduction?" Sokka asked rudely, totally ruining the sweet little Kodak moment."Sokka, for the love of...," Emi was about to turn around and give Sokka a nice, long lecturing, when someone caught her eye... A curly-haired, green-eyed someone..."KIENAY!" Emi shrieked, her and Senny pulling away from each other to have a group hug with Kienay."Guess that's a 'no' on the introduction then...," Katara said, smiling at the look on Sokka's face which screamed 'ignored', elbowing Sokka and walking over to the hugging group, who were now chatting away merrily. Aang ran over them, and Sokka was left standing there at the fringe of the group, mumbling dark things when Momo leaped over his shoulder and took energetic short, fast leaps over to where Aang was standing. Sokka rolled his eyes, sighed, and walked over to the growing circle.0o0o"....and then I said 'that's a goat? I thought it was your sister!'" Kienay finished a funny story, green eyes dancing in the fire light, the crowd that had gathered around him bursting into laughter and applause. Even Emi, Sokka noted. Not that he cared. Kienay rested an arm on Emi's knee and leaned over to whisper something in her ear, which she laughed at and didn't bite him for touching her. Even after he had finished whispering and pulled away from her ear, Kienay left his arm on her. Sokka crossed his arms and 'humph'ed, but Kienay was talking again and no one noticed this.It had been a few hours since they made their harrowing (A/N cough:cough:lame:cough) journey through the bushes, and now the sun was just rising over the hills, casting an eerie glow over the vast green forest and lighting up the sky in beautiful shades of red, pink, and a fiery orange. Birds had alighted on the tree branches over their heads and were singing their little hearts out... but wasn't ranting about 'the damned' songbirds right now. She seemed genuinely happy, and didn't give the birds a first-glance for there to even be a second glance. Emi just sat there, gawking at Kienay. It wasn't fair! Emi wasn't allowed to be happy, unless Sokka was even happier than she was! It was...the principle of the matter. And Sokka wasn't happy at all at the moment, Sokka was bored."You still haven't told us who this young man is?" Senny said to Emi, gesturing with a graceful hand to Sokka."Oh, him? He's...," Emi glanced over at Kienay really fast before Sokka cut her off."I'm her boyfriend!" Everyone stared at him for a second, and Kienay stopped mid-sentence."Um, Sokka.... No you're not. You hate me, remember? Are you sleep deprived, or have you just officially lost it?" That was enough of a reply to get everyone talking again."Were you just...jealous?!" Katara leaned over and whispered incrediously, cocking an eyebrow. Sokka jumped up and started to reply... and then realized he was. How stupid was that? And not to mention mean. He should be happy his friend was with her crush, even if he couldn't be with Suki. He was sleep deprived. He couldn't possibily like her...could he? Nah.0o0oA/NSo there it is! Hm...still not sure if I should do a Sokka/Emi pairing, but if I do end up doing that, at least it's set up now and could go either way. So give me some feedback here, people! Let me know what you want! Your reviews always brighten my day.
