Riath sat more distant from the others now. He was thinking of all that had happened. The painful memories that had returned to him. He heard in the distance the acute sound of a fire bender's flames, and Sokka yelling. He took off in that direction, only to be greeted by a few spits of fire. "Who..." He said, not thinking of anything else. He walked out onto the road, and turned to see a fire bender. Female, about his age more or less. He eyed her suspiciously and quickly drew his katana, "What do you want?" He yelled as flames engulfed his weapon, swirling around it. He despised fire benders, and would have killed this one on the spot if not for his wounds.

Okay. Here is where we are- My character, Raith was walking through a village, blah blah blah, killed a water clan general. He then arrived at the camp, only after meeting Kage, and then got into a fight with Ichigo. He won, though Ichigo got away and Raith was badly burned by Ichigo. Muren kissed Camille, Sokka got confronted by a Fire Bender, and I am talking to the Fire Bender, and Muren and Camille are still at camp while the fire bender, raith, and Sokka are on the road talking to her.
Camille landed and moaned as she picked her self up she dusted her self of and was talking to her self in a mumble"why cant you tell them.."she sead angerly and walked ack to camp.She cracked her neck before she spoke"koda wants you and me to meet him in the village of omashu he has some thing we might want.."she sead grabing her bag and waited for every one.
Saiya turned her emotionless eyes to the one in front of her. For just a moment they roamed to the camp fire in the distance...a few couples sat around it. Her vision was accute and accurate, pinpointing each person. She bit her lip softly. This was peculiar. Never had she shown any signs of controlling her anger.
" I hated him...so much.."
She said, her eyes now shaded as she stared at the ground. Something unfamiliar ran down her soft cheek. A tear. How sad, how pathetic. Why did this torment her?!
" Do not speak to me. " she paused. " As if im the one who intruded, caused the pain. Do not speak to me with such a tone...you sound just like him!"
With that she sent a heavy flow of vibrant flames directly at Sokka. He could die first. The flames circled him, getting closer by the suspensful second. She wondered how long this pathetic being could hold them off.
Now she looked towards the other again. She raised her hands and sent a super heated blaze towards him. The single tear had multiplied. A hot river flooded down her cheeks. It carried temperatures almost as hot as her blazes, burning her face in the shape of teardrops instantaniously. The pain only strenghtened her attacks, and finally the tears subsided to a dry fury.
Raith dived infront of the flames that were meant for Sokka. He didnt care. His katana absorbed most of the attack, though he was badly heart. Then came the second onslaught. He wasn't ready for it. the blast took him head on, the katana barely taking in any of it. He felt to the ground, searing. He groaned loudly, and rolled on the ground. Despite the immense pain he was in, he stood up and looked at Saiya directly in the eye, "Who... Are... You?" He asked, slowly.
Her face was scarred now, a searing pain shooting through the tear streaks that had absorbed themself into her face. A smirk crossed her face as she tried to defend her pride. No mercy was left within her body, none scince then. Taking a sturdy step forward, she crossed her hands and sent another flame directly into Sokka, enough to knock him back, but not kill him. With him out of range she stared at the man, barely standing. His words rolled over and over in her mind.
I am no one. I am nothing, no longer do i exist. Im dead to everyone around me. My task is to kill, to purify. My burden is my own pain. I am no one.
A laugh exited her taught throat.
"It does not matter who i am...you will die, does it matter to know the name of your killer?!"
She was about to attack when she froze up suddenly. That look in his eyes....What was this? Her body trembled as she stood, motionless before him. He defended his friend. What a stupid move. Then he stood? Her eyes were periced and defeated within his.
Raith smiled, "Kill me. But know this. You can not fufill your longing by killing, that only brings more longing. Then it develops into a hunger, and then it finally consumes you until you are no more then walking hatred." He continued to stand, his skin badly burned, and one arm lying limp at his side. "So, whats your next move?"
She couldn't move. An emotional paralysis consumed her shaking body. She could not remove her widened eyes frm his. His voice registered faintly in her mind. She couldn't take this. Her whole body was enraptured by this feeling. Baking away fearfully into a shadowy area, and uncontrollable fire rose from beneath her, consuming herself and just about everything withing a ten foot radius around her. Slowly her world turned upside down. Her skin was partially immune to these flames, but she needed to feel it burn. The pain ripping her up from the inseide was simply to great for her to over come.
Why is this happening?!
The tear scars glowed as brightly as the fire around them, and finally she collapsed. The fire had risen inside her as well, her body was unable to take any more. As she fell, the fire eventually dissipated, and the tear marks died to glowing embers upon her lifeless cheeks.
Raith gasped as he felt the flames hit his body. But luckily for him, he was partially numb. He endured through it, and saw the girl collapse. He once again helped out. He limped over to her, and despite his injuries carried her to the lake and lay her on top of the water. The water was soothing to his burns, so hopefully it would help her. He dabbed her cheeks and hoped for the best as he helped her float there.
She wished to murder him..no..herself. Why was he helping her?! Her body had nothign ledt. Blood flowd in a steady trail down her chin from her eyes and mouth. Still the horrible burns remained beneath her eyes. She tried hard to move, to push him away, but her effort resulted only in the subtle twitch of a finger. Her lips refused to seperate to speak the sweat words that would finally let her soul find peace. Two eyes would remaind closed , bloodied by the damage inside of her body. The pain now finally distracted her from her fear, her fury. This was what she needed all along. She was mindless. A demon to hr own whims. What could stop her, but death? Then she remembered. His eyes. A spasm overtook her body.
He could.
As she was submerged she took in mouthful of water. It flooded through her nose as well. For a moment she thought he was attempting to murder her, but he was not.Why was he keeping her alive? Finally she fell limp in his arms, her breaths begginging to cease. She manage to open her yes, only slightly. They reached out, begging for him to let her go. What was his point to keep her alive? sh ecould not control herself. Her fury overpowered everything. Only death could surpass her. Either that of others or her own. The only difference was that the deaths of others would only subtly calm her ever thirsty blood lust.
She managed to open her eyes. Blood dripped from them in even, simultaniousy streams. Slowly they moved to the masle's face. His expressio firghtened her. Fear echoed in his tone, and showed all over his face. What was he? Why was he doing this? She closed her eyes for just a moment, and let her thoughts slip into the energy stream, hoping he could read them now scince the were so unveiled.
Why do you do this? Why do you care so much about all others?
A dizzyness contaminated her body as she lay unmoving now. She wanted a response. It was driving her mad.
"I... Care so much... Because I was like you before..." He coughed again, and looked at the blood flowing from her eyes. He would dab it every now and then, trying to calm her bleeding. "I used... To kill... Everyone I came in contact with... Other then my own... But my hunger never surficed... I had to kill... More and more... When eventually... I killed more then... I can ever repent for... I try to help... Anyone I can..." He choked in the middle of a cough, his burns now seeping blood. He didnt care, he just wanted to help.
Closing her eyes tightly she clenched her teeth. She would not be catagorized in a edly with ' anyone ' A black flame encircled her body, it spread to the guy before her, healing his burn wounds, and sent her own body into painful spasms. She was not like others, she would not be. Never. And who was he trying to tell her he understood? Her lips spread and in a husky, tremoring voice she responded.
" What do you understand? You think these people are y...your friends?! I don't see anyone helping you now. Why do you... insist on healing me? so i can rise and kill them?! There...is...no one."
By this point her mind was set that those you trusted would only turn on you. Thats how it always was.
Saiyas body fell motonless.
"Dont... Die!!" He ignored the healing of his own body and focused all of his energy. The little bit of his life force that was left exited him, and entered her body. Before he fell to the ground, he smiled and said, "Your... Okay..." He was then on the ground, motionless, his body illuminated by the fire.
