Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang and Qudai saw the pregnant woman make her way over to them. She reminded the two a bit on Katara. Both young men hoped she was all right. "Thank you very much," Aang said as he bowed , with Qudai following. The duo followed the pregnant woman inside of her household."I... I apologize for the disruptance. But I wouldn't come here if it wasn't important," Aang started when they entered. Qudai remained quiet as he looked around the place.

I completely understand. Junko said guiding them to the living area. Once inside she prepared some tea and food. My husband should be over soon. The house was large and most likely housed many children. On a wall we re two paintings one showing Junko, a man, and at least a dozen kids and the other contained six more women with dozens of more children.

Qudai and Aang to a seat in some of the chairs while they were waiting. Both noticed the size of the house along with the numerous rooms. The paintings were of great interest. One showed Junkp and the man along with several kids. The other paintign showed the other wives and other children. Qudai and Aang both noticed that while there were't any adults that they could tell, they saw the other girl from earlier there."Yeah, that's her. She looks like the girls from the sister area," Aang pointed out. "Not to mention that she just stands out compared to the others," Qudai added while they were waiting for the man to come over.

Junko brought a tray with food and tea on it into the living area and placed it on the table. One of the foods being small fruit pies. Just when it looked like the woman would sit down, a large man walked in and seeing this, he quickly went to her side to help her sit. The man was tall and thick with dark hair, pale skin, and gold eyes. Careful, my love, he told Junko, I wouldn t want you to fall. Junko chuckled, saying, I have done this many times before, Hansuke, it s nothing new. I know but I would still like to help you when I can. The man said. His appearance would have been completely intimidating if he wasn t being so gentle with the pregnant Junko.

Qudai and Aang saw Junko bring a tray of food into the table. Aang looked very surprised when he looked at what looked like little cakes with colorful and fruity smelling icing on top.Whilenlooked st the cakes, Qudai noticed how the man helped his wife. Both young men couldn t help but smile at the interaction between them. They could clearly see the love the two had for one another. Where did you get the recipe for the fruit pies? Aang asked. Qudai then realized why Aang was fixated on them. They were those fruit pies he mentioned were an Airbender speciality.

My sister taught me. Junko said although she was more likely referring to her sister wife. She poured herself some tea before pouring a second glass for Hansuke explaining. It was just the two of us and Meili for years so the three of us became rather close. All of us knew she was an Airbender, it was no secret. Of coarse she didn t have the tattoos but that was more or less phased out after the war started. I believe my husband would know more about that. I was coming home from defending a small mining village from soldiers from the Fire Nation when my brothers and I came across a massacre. We knew there was a small amount of surviving air nomads, and they d began to hide in plain sight. Some had mixed into the population of the Earth Kingdom, never revealing their true identities for fear of death while others became more like gypsies, living in small groups that never stayed in one place for long. Over the years the Fire Nation had discovered many of them and would kill any they could.But anyway, my brothers and I stumble on a settlement of wagons, which was our first clue that it had been a group of air nomads, the second being that everything was burnt. It was clear the Fire Nation had torched the place and killed everyone. He paused and took a sip of tea. They showed no mercy: expectant mothers, infants, children, it didn t matter who, they were all dead. We heard a noise and followed it, discovering Mika as the sole survivor. She was injured but nothing too severe, at least not physically. She had pulled her younger brother from their wagon and he had died in her arms. After we tended to her wounds, we dug graves and made headstones for all those that were killed. Many of them didn t have names that Mika could remember or were burnt beyond recognition so we would put unknown woman or unknown infant boy on the headstone so they had something showing who they were. I promised Mika I would protect her from the Fire Nation and on the day she was killed she told me to protect our child. He smiled to himself, remembering the woman. Mika was an amazing woman! She loved everyone and held no grudges even against those who sought to kill her. She was kind and patient and before she had become pregnant she considered herself a mother and treated the other wives children as her own. We were so happy to have a child of our own and she was an amazing mother. Junko took her husband s hand, The Fire Nation caught word that there was an Airbender in the area but luckily they didn t know she had been pregnant. Mika surrendered voluntarily, she knew if she did there d be a better chance of her daughter not being discovered.

Qudai and Aang were both quiet as Junko began explaining everything about how the air bending woman and the past that was shared between them all.Aang went through a dozen different emotions on how his people still managed to be alive yet many still met unfortunate ends because of the dogmatic pursuits of the Fire Nation. However, thisade him determined to do more for the people and his duty as Avatar. Furthermore, it also meant that he would want to do so to teach her about the monks.After Junko finished, Aang let out a breath. I was only 16 when I found ounI was the Avatar. They were getting ready to train me when the war began breaking out. I escaped because I thought that it would get the monks away or trick them into thinking K was gone or something. Of course, instead, I got frozen for a hundred years and ended up in the North Pole, Aang explained to them. I found him while doing business there and after driving the Fire Nation away, we set out so Aang could learn all the bending elements and figure out how to end this war, Qudai notes to them. It s part of why we came here. Your daughter s heritage is important and Aang was recognized by the monks as an Airbending Master, he continued. We were in Omashu for a bit, but when we heard the rumors, we couldn't help but leave the city so we can investigate this. I would be honored if you would let us talk to her to see if she wishes to come with us, Aang told them as he bowed down. Qudai noted that after this, they would head back to Omashu to keep looking for more on Bumi and on earthbending teachers.

The couple listened to what the two boys had to say before Hansuke began speaking again, You have to understand that what you knew the air nomads as and what my wife knew them as are two completely different things. You knew a strong and proud people, Mika knew a people who would hide and run. They changed over time, they stopped living and started surviving. I tell you this because I do not want you to expect my daughter to be what you knew, as you will only be disappointed. My daughter does not have tattoos, she does not bend, she eats meat, and she is not a pacifist. However she is kind and gentle, she will heal the sick and help the poor any chance she is given, she defends those who cannot defend themselves, and she will protect those around her with her life.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang listened to what the couple had to say. "The tattoos are symbols of being an Airbending Master so I wouldn't expect her to have them anyway," Aang explained to them before thinking more on the nature of the others. "As for the other stuff, well, with pacifism, it was not about the fighting. We did not want to fight, but we would. We just put the line at killing," he added. "As for the meat eating, well Qudai eats it and that doesn't bother me," Aang said. He was still thinking on the airbending aspect."And as for the bending, that all depends on her. For all we know, she could know how, but keeps it a secret. Alternately, she has the potential, but her lack of experience or meditation means it hasn't been unleashed," Qudai interjected. He really hoped that he could teach the girl airbending.Both did smile at hearing how gentile and kind she was along with her good things. "And we would do the same," Aang said. "I would be honored for the opportuity to teach her airbending, if she can," he added.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
If she could bend, Junko or I would know it. Hansuke stated. Junko raised Miku from infancy and has treated her like her own. Junko rolled her eyes, I treat all of the children as my own. I did raise Miku, but I made sure she knew that Mika was her mother. However we tell the outside world that Miku and my daughter, Tamiko, are twins. However in regards to her going with you, Hansuke said, that is my daughter s decision. She will need convincing as doing so would mean leaving behind her family but you are more than welcome to stay here as long as needed.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"Well, we will have to see that for ourselves," Qudai muttered under his breath as he wondered how these pair of parents forgot on how kids would keep secrets from them at their age. He did smile at hearing at how they treated all of them as if they were their own."Thank you and do not worry. We do not want to attract attention to any of you," Aang bowed and said respectfully. "That and I don't want to get violent," Qudai reasponded as his hand went toward the crossbow at his waist."We would like to meet her. Where is she at?" Aang asked them. He was still being formal and polite and such. However, he was also worried at how thigns could be, especially if she didn't wanna come.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
She is probably still at Xixi s place watching her younger kids. Junko said. Where is Xixi? Hansuke asked looking a bit confused. She went with Ai, Aiko, and a few of the older girls to help Aiko pick up her wedding dress. Junko reminded him. So that means you need to bring Ryo to get clothes for the ceremony tomorrow. The wedding is in two days. Hansuke nodded, I ll be happy when it s over. Junko rolled her eyes, Aiko is going to be Yuichi first wife and Yuichi is Xixi s first child to get married, be patient with them. You remember how hard it was for me when Huan married and how hard it was for the other wives when their first married. She stood up and walked to a set of stairs calling up them, Kyoko could you come down here? A young girl, maybe eight, appeared. Could you go over to Mother Xixi s house and get Miku for me? The girl nodded and left.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang and Qudai looked at one another at what the two were talking about. However, of course, they would be getting the young woman here. Qudai looked at Aang and noted that he was feeling nervous."How about Aang here show you what an Airbending Master can do? He mastered nearly one of te master level techniques and then invented his own to become one?" Qudai said with a smile on his face. Aang lightened up, loving to show airbending to anyone who would see.It would help pass the time while Miku would arrive.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
That would be lovely. Junko said as she returned to her seat next to Hansuke. She smiled, taking her husband s hand in her s waiting to see just what Aang could do. She had an aura around her that gave off an extremely motherly and nurturing vibe.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang smiled before Qudai took a step back to let the airbender prepare himself. Aang began doing alot of air bending motions and it was amazing The air flowed in move with his graceful and acromatic moves. He would even step out the door of the home so he could do his signature move.The air scooter, allowing him to mvoe quickly around the home. "And he's still holding back. He's getting better and coming up with more everyday," Qudai bragged to the couple like a proud older sibiling.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
The couple watched intensely as Aang showed them what he was capable. That s amazing! Junko said clapping her hands as Hansuke nodded in agreement.As this was being said the young girl that was asked to retrieve Miku walked past back to her room, leaving a confused and stunned Miku awkwardly standing in the doorway.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang smiled as he returned to the door from his air scooter movement. However, he noticed someone new had joined up with them. Qudai also turned around to see. It was a young woman about Aang's age and Aang realized how much she looked like him.This was her, one of the last of his people."Are you Miku?" Qudai asked as he noted Aang was looking at her with surprise. He figured she saw Aang pefore his airbending skills.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Yes. The girl said confirming her identity.She was wearing dark green, almost black, pants that flared out at the bottom were tucked into her boots which ended just below her knees. Her boots brown hide that had a fitted middle portion tightened in the back with laces and having two long straps that were wrapped around her calves meeting at her shin with a simple gold clasp. A pale green skirt with a split on both sides covered her hips and the garment also covered her arms, part of her hands, and her head. She wore a medium green kimono top with a yellow border, it was pulled loosely around her body and tied closed with a thick brown belt. On top of that was an aquamarine sleeveless jacket with green border. Lastly she had a pale brown scarf with slightly darker, shiny embroidery was delicately wrapped around her head.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang took a moment to examine her and he couldn't help but notice that she was quite pretty. He wondered why the scarf was wrapped around her head, but he figured it was for her own reasons."I'm Aang," Aang said before he gave a smile and bowed to her."He's the Avatar and an Airbending Master," Qudai noted with a smile as he looked at her. However, before asking, he wanted to see what her reactions would be to the news he spoke. If they were lucky, the info would be enough to get her interest.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Miku looked at Aang in a very unsure manner, which turned into shock and disbelief when she was told who he was. This didn t last for very long as it was replaced by anger. You were alive this whole time?! She asked loudly. Do you have any idea what happened to my people because of you?! We have to hide who we are so we re not just simply killed for it!
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang looked stunned at her anger before Qudai went to Aang's defense. "He was frozen!! Of course he knows what happened! Better than anyone!! It wasn't his fault he got frozen in ice!" Qudai shouted back at her with his own anger. "Furthermore, it's what saved his damn life!" he countered back as he stared at the girl. "He knows better than anyone because it was his culture, his loved ones that put their lives on the line," he finalized as he was breathign heavily."Qudai, enough," Aang said as he saw his friend's outburst. He didn't know what to say or do. After all, while some were content to blame him, Qudai would mention that it was their own responsability and blaming the only person who can help would solve nothing."We came here because we were wondering if you'd like to come with us. If you really consider yourself a member of the Air Tribe, then Aang can teach you everything you'd want to know, including Airbending if you can," Qudai said as he calmed down. He hoped their shouting match didn't get any attention.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
That s easy for you to say, you haven t had to hide like some kind of insect. Miku yelled focusing her anger at Qudai. I don t know my own mother! Junko stood up, walking over to Miku, she smacked Miku on the back of the head. Show some respect! Hansuke motioned got Qudai to leave the room with him. He knew that Junko would be able to handle the situation.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"You don't even know half the secrets I have to hide! My people been hiding far longer than yours," Qudai responded back, even angrier. Aang winced as he realized that Miku hit a nerve. He was the only person who knew his secret: He was descended from a long lost tribe of Firebenders, but that was all Qudai said on the subject matter, though Aang not knowing realized they must have been ancient.Of course, both were shocked when Junko came in to step in to talk to her and Qudai followed Hansuke. Aang sighed as he did not know what to do. Meanwhile, the ruckus attracted Momo, who came to check what was wrong with Aang. "Would you like me to leave as well?" Aang asked Junk politely.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
No. Junko said before she turned back to Miku. Now you re going to listen to what this boy has to say, do you understand? Miku sighed and nodded, Yes ma am.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang sighed as he looked to Miku. He was trying to figure out what to say because of everything that happened. However, he was distracted by everything Qudai did in arguing with her."Everything Qudai said was right. The war began when Avatar Roku died and I was 15 when I found out I was the Avatar, one year before I was supposed to know. Of course, by that point, the Fire Nation began heading toward investigating the Air Temples, trying to look for me. The monks told be to escape. I took Appa with me, my air bison, to try and escape, but I didn't know where to go. I ended up in a storm, so to try and protect us, I activated the Avatar state, but I ended up freezing ourselves as a result," Aang explained to her."Qudai found me and before long, me and my new friends had to fight an invasion from the Fire Nation over in the Southern Water Tribe and we won. They came with me to try and find Master Gyatso... my mentor," Aang said, his hand shaking. "He... he didn't make it. We found him among an army of fallen Fire Nation warriors," he said before he let a breath. "So I knew I was gonna be among the last so I needed to go and master the 4 Elements," he said more determined."My friends stayed behind at a certain area to help organize the people while Qudai was traveling with me. We're here to see if I can find an old friend of mine. The reason we stopped by here was because we heard rumors that there was another person here who was descended from the Monks," Aang added. "I... I want to teach someone airbending, that way people will know mroe on how we are and our traditions," he said. "Will you please come with us?" Aang asked.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Miku s face began to soften as Aang spoke, and even showed a bit of guilt for yelling. She gave him a quick hug and said, I m sorry. The hug made it possible for Aang to feel rough outline of Miku s figure. She was thin but not lanky with decent sized breasts.She nodded adding, I ll go but I d like to stay for my brother s wedding.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang wasn't sure what to expect of her reaction, but he didn't expect a hug. However, he did hug her back quickly and lightly. She had a nice figure, he felt, before inwardly blushing a bit. He smiled at her response. "Of course, that sounds reasonable," he told her with a smile. "When is he getting married?" Aang asked.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
In two days. Miku explained. Weddings are big here. Junko added. There s always tons of food, dancing, and it s a lot of fun.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"Well, we would be happy to attend if you let us," Aang asked with permission while he bowed down. After everything they had been doing, it would be a good break from the monotomy."Everything okay?" Qudai asked as he was at the door. He was no longer anger or even frustrated, but just checking up on everyone.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
You ll have to ask my brother first. Miku replied.Junko turned and gave Qudai a nod and a thumbs up while smiling.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"All right. Where is he so I may ask him?" Aang asked Miky before he turned to see Qudai doing there. He relaxed a bit and so did Qudai. Qudai sighed a bit before he faced Miku. "Sorry for the outburst," he told Miku as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
I believe he took some of my older brothers to find a place to set a house. Miku said. Before a couple marries here, the groom, his brothers, and soon to be brother in laws to find a mountain where the couple will live. Then they use earthbending to create rooms. She held Hansuke s hand. I remember when Hansuke and I arrived from the North Pole and he went out with his brothers to find this mountain. I remember how my younger siblings thought you were the coolest just because you re a waterbender. Hansuke said with a chuckle.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Qudai was listening about their traditions and he found the whole thing fascinating. "What would happen if the married couple wouldn't want to live here, but elsewhere?" Qudai asked, curious. Unknown to anyone, his eyes snck to Miku and Aang. He wondered where they would live if they ever got together. Qudai figured back in the Air Temple where Aang was raised.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
They re free to go where they please. Hansuke said. Although not many places are welcoming to our lifestyle. It s surprising that I found five of my wives outside of the community. Your father married a firebender and your grandfather married a waterbender. Junko said after a sigh. Your family seems to be especially talented at getting women from outside of polygamy to marry you all. Yes but it s not common for female who aren t polyglets to become a plural wife. Hansuke stated.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"Well, I suppose when it comes to common people, they just wanna find a sense of community that nationalism may not provide," Qudai noted with a thoughtful expresion. Aang noted that with Qudai. While Aang was a man of the past and spirituality, Qudai was one of the future and progress. From his clockwork empowered crossbow to his various ideas.He and Aang couldn't help but chuckle at what Junko said and how Hansuke responded. "Wel, we will be happy to ask and help out," Aang answered. "Aang knows some basic water bending and maybe helping with the earth bending could help him get into the right mind. Avatars tend to have trouble bending the element opposite of their born one, so with Aang's case, that'd be earth," Qudai added.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
It s because people don t understand polygamy. Hansuke explained. They have this idea that when a woman gets too old her husband finds to new, younger wife and in some cases that s true. However that s incredibly rare, or at least it is in our community. In fact our age of consent is higher than most other places in the Earth Kingdom which is anywhere from fourteen to seventeen, our s is eighteen for girls and nineteen for boys.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Qudai listened to Hansuke's grievances toward the assumptions done toward people like his family. "Well, as long as it is concensual and no one is acting like scoundrels, it should be good. You all seem like good people," he told them all while Aang nodded. He preferred to listen in and take what he could in since he had alot to learn about the world."We're just happy no trouble has come here yet," Aang nodded. "Yeah and if they're working on the home right now, I would be happy to help out," he offered. Qudai just nodded with a likewise response. He was not a bender, but being a learned man meant he could contribute with his own thoughts on archeitecture.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
You re more than welcome to go but I have no idea where they are so you d have to find them. Hansuke said. I know where they are. Miku chimed in.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"Where are they? Could you lead us to them?" Aang asked her, wanting to get to know Miku a bit better. "Would be a good way to help better understand them and I'm sure they'd wanna see some Air bending," Qudai added.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Of coarse. Miku said. I have to go shopping anyway. Are you getting material? Junko asked. Mother Zhu just announced she pregnant so yes I m getting material for a baby blanket. Miku answered.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang smiled and nodded. "All right, would you want me to wait here or come with you?" he asked Miku. "Don't worry, we've gotten good at disguising Aang," Qudai comments to them with a smile.He did wonder if he could give Aang and Miku some alone time to get to know one another.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Just let me get my bag first. Miku said before she disappeared up a set of stairs. She always does this, Junko chuckled, she always makes a baby blanket anytime there s a new baby on the way.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Both Aang and Qudai smiled at one another upon hearing what Miku said. Despite the initial spat, she was growing on them, Aang specifically. How far is the mountain? Qudai asked with a curious smile. He had a fascinating idea on how Miki can grow closer with her heritage.Besides, it d be hilarious to see her reaction to Appa.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Miku returned with a bag slung over her shoulder saying, I don t know where they are specifically, I just know the general location of where they are.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"Well, we can get there pretty quickly and we can show you something awesome at the same time," Qudai responded to Miku with a smile while Aang was looking confused. Qudai then went outside and dragged the two to behind the house."Call Appa," Qudai with a big smile. Aang got a smile of his own before he went to make a gust and fly on his glider to fetch someone. Before long, Aang flew back followed from someone. Coming from his hiding place, he emerged. The six legged air bison, looking quite pleased to see Aang, Qudai and Miku."This is Appa, he's my friend," Aang told Miku with a smile while letting her observe the air bison.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Miku stood there confused before Aang returned. When she saw Appa, she was surprised to say the least. Oh my... she said slowly walking up to him. I ve never seen a real one before. She did have a stuffed animal off one that had been made by her mother but that was it.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang smiled as he saw Miku go up to admire Appa. Appa for the most part, looked over the mysterious new girl presented. He sniffed her before smiling at her, even licking her. "He was with me when I got frozen and we've been together since," he told her as he patted the arrow on Appa's head.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Miku s body went rigid as she was now covered in Appa s spit. I m guessing that means he likes me. She said as she wiped some spit off of her face.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Qudai couldn't help but laugh at seeing Miku be licked like that while Aang had a guilty smile. "Yeah, he 'reallylikes you. Maybe he can tell you came from Airbenders," Aang noted before he focused. It took a bit of a try, but he managed to waterbed the spit off of Mike's body."You're getting bender at water bending. Katara did do her best with you and I do hope she can learn more," Qudai noted before someone landed on his head. "Oh yeah, this is Momo, Aang's winged lemur," he said to her.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Miku looked surprised to see Momo. I thought they had all died out. She said as slowly got closer to Momo. It was off that she would say this about Momo, but not Appa, almost like she knew that there were more flying bison.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"What do you mean? There's a fair bit of winged lemurs still around, though i reckon probably not around this area," Qudai said to her with a raised eyebrow. Aang meanwhile was wondering why she didn't make a comment on Appa like that."As for Appa... I mean, I don't know. I figured the Monks would have a plan," Qudai added before looking to Aang. "I don't know. The Masters did mention some things about the Air Bison though it was mainly for things like diseases or other disasters," Aang said as he was in thought. Momo looked to Miku before going on top of her head.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
People have claimed they have sighted flying bisons but it s not a common thing. Miku explained to the two. And a lot of the sightings can be explained away as misidentifications or people seeing something when there s not really anything there. However there have been a few reported sightings that seem to legitimate, so if there are still some alive there s not many.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Then again, winged lemurs aren t as big as the air bison, Qudai responded to her as he saw Momo examine Mein before he flew back to Aang s shoulder. Ready to get on? Aang told Miku with a smile as Qudai took a breath and he climbed to th seat of Appa.He wasn t a big fan of heights, but he trusted Aang and Appa.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Miku nodded but took a couple of minutes to actually get on as she was trying to figure what would be the best way to climb onto Appa without falling or losing an article of clothing. She eventually managed to get up and take a seat.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"All right, looks like we're all on! Yip Yip!" Aang shouted with excitement once they were all on and Appa proceeded to fly through the air via air bending. Qudai gripped the seat a bit, but noted how Miku looked as she was riding an air bison like her ancestors would've.Soon, they were in the air and they could see the mountain up with the clouds as they were looking for her brothers.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Miku wrapped her arm around one of the loops on the saddle for fear of falling off while also holding her head scarf in place to prevent it from flying off. At first her eyes were squeezed shut but she eventually became brave enough to open her eyes and look down at the ground in amazement.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"Hey, it'll be all right,," Aang told her as he had one of his arms reached to gently clasp hers to comfort her. He eventually saw her open her eyes and look down below to see the whole area while they were in the air."It's something, isn't it?" Qudai asked her as while he took looked nervous, he still felt comfortable and looked around as they were flying around the mountain.

Miku nodded and continued looking down while holding her headscarf in place. Ocassionally the wind would blow the scarf just enough for some of Miku s hair to be seen showing that it was pulled to the center of her head and a braid started at her hairline going down the center all the way to the back of her head.

"What do you think? The Monks would say each experience of bending air and traveling was unique to the person," Aang shared with Miku. "They also said an air bison was a companion for life," he said with a soft smile as he petted Appa. Qudai smiled as he saw the boy and his bison.

I don t know how to describe it. Miku stated. The closest thing I can think of is unreal. She looked at the ground both looking for her brothers and being in awe over everything that was happening.

"Yeah... I mean, I don't like heights or flying and even then, this is amazing. I trust Appa with my life," Qudai told Miku with a smile while they were looking around."Are those the sort of houses?" Aang pointed out while he was getting lower for them to see.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Yes but my brothers are going to be further out with the newer houses. Miku said pointing ahead. The newer ones are always toward the outside. In fact the ones in the middle of town have existed for hundreds of years and have been passed down through generations.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang flew Appa to the direction that Miku was pointing to while she was sharing more information between them. "How is it determined whether they get new houses or older ones?" Qudai asked as he was on the lookout so they could land and help out.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
The older houses typically go to one of the younger kids since the parents have less of a need for it. Most families are still popping out kids when their oldest children have moved out, married, and started their own families. In fact Junko has three married children and she is still having more.

"Oh wow! That's a lot," Aang looked a bit incredulous while Qudai nodded in surprise. "Is that them?" Qudai asked as he pointed to a group of guys dressed kinda like her hard at work.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Not really. Miku said. Including the two babies on the way, my dad has 102 children and that s not even considered a large family in this community. My grandfather has twelve wives and well over 200 children. She looked down and nodded. Yup that s them.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
That is a lot of family, Qudai managed to say after a few moments of silence from the shock that he and Aang went through because of the startling revelation on her massive family. Okay, incoming! Aang notes out before they landed a bit of a distance and were able to see the stunned faces on Miku s brothers faces.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Not everyone in the community goes on to become polygamists. I would say about half go on to live monogamous lives. Miku explained. Being a polygamist is hard work and not everyone is cut out for it. I still haven t decided if it s something I m open to. Miku held on tighter as they made their way down.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Makes sense, Qudai noted to her as Appa landed. Aang got down and help d Miku down. Hey everyone! Pleased to meet everyone here, Aang told them all with a smile as Qudai also got down to meet Miku s brothers.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
When they landed they were immediately surrounded by a dozen teenage boys. Four of the boys had the same skin tone as Junko and were likely her sons, three looked similar to Hansuke and most likely had Earth Kingdom mothers, and the remaining five had feature typical of Fire Nation.

"You mind telling your brothers not to worry?" Qudai said when he saw them surround them. He then cleared his throat."Yes he is the Avatar and an Airbender. And if anyone thinks of insulting him or anything similar because of the War and such, you will get a punch to the face and then an explanation. Any acts of violence will be avoided if you avoid doing anything that make you look like jerks," Qudai said while Aang rolled his eyes at the defensiveness his friend was showing.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
They re just being protective of their younger sister. Miku stated.Miku pointed to one of the older boys, saying, That s Daiki. He was clearly Junko s son as he looked like a male version of her and probably in his mid twenties. His skin was tan and the right side of his head was shaved while most of the hair on the left side was cut short except a small tuft of hair that was longer and held together with a decorative blue bead. He wore a dark blue shirt embroidered with darker blue thread under a light blue jacket lined with white fur. The belt that he used to tie the jacket closed was decorative and had a small bag attached to it. His dark, nearly black, pants were tucked into leather boots. Then that s Kaede. Miku said pointing to another boy, not much younger than Daiki. He looked like Hansuke but with Junko s coloring tan skin, dark brown, and light blue eyes. While Daiki was tall and slightly scrawny, Kaede was shorter and very muscular. He had a full head of hair that was pulled back into a ponytail and a trimmed beard. His brown pants were tucked into his black boots and slightly covered by a dark blue sleeveless jacket that was slightly tied closed. Under the jacket was a light blue kimono styled shirt. Over there is Kenji. This one wasn t as tan as the previous two but was more tan than some of the other boys. His eyes were bright green and his dark brown hair was shaved on the sides of his head. His hair created a large diamond shade on his head thanks to his widow s peak and the back of his slowly tapering off to a point. He wore a light bluish green long sleeved kimono style shirt tied closed with a simple belt and covered with a short sleeve dark green jacket that was lined with brown fur. His dark green pants were tucked into olive green boots.The last one that looked like Junko was tall and of normal build. His hair was mostly shaved on the sides with small strips of hair that weren t shaved and were braided. All of the hair was pulled back into a ponytail. He wore a skin tight dark blue long sleeved shirt which was covered by a light blue kimono style shirt. A dark brown pelt was around his waist and his black pants were tucked into his boots. And that is Kasem, Miku said pointing to the boy, all four of them are Junko s oldest sons. Daiki, Kaede, and Kenji are actually her three oldest children.

Qudai and Aang turned and looked at all the various guys that were there that were her brothers. Both were surprised how they were all with their appearances and such. Despite it all, they were all brothers and it still surprised them both."I'm Aang, pleased to meet you all," Aang said while Qudai nodded. "I'm Qudai. So, how is it going?" he asked them as he looked around their work area.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
The four brothers greeted Aang and Qudai before Miku went on, Then there s Aroon. She pointed to a pale young man with dark eyes and hair. He wore a dark green long sleeved shirt that was buttoned closed at the middle and black pants. He had a scar going up and down his face and several more all over his exposed skin. Based on the look of his left sleeve he was also missing an arm. He s my dad s third wife s oldest son. She pointed to another boy, this one with medium brown hair and jade green eyes. He wore light brown pants that were tied just below his knees and a simple green shirt. The shirt button on the right side and the long sleeves were tied up with what appeared to be a light green belt sash. That s Chongan, the oldest son of my father s seventh wife.

"How do you keep track of everyone?" Qudai said when Miku finished. While he did listen at the introduction and noted everyone, he was still surprised by how big the famiy was.Aang just shook his head at his friends' bluntness while beign happy to meet everyone. "So you're helping to make the home here through earthbending?" Aang asked.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Miku finished by introducing the last six brothers Zian, Zhen, Zongmeng, Renshu, Tenshi, and the groom, Yuichi. It s not like my moms had all of us at the same time, Miku explained, we had time to get used to more siblings. I ll see if I can explain it. Daiki said. Our father married eight women. He met my mom, Junko, when he was visiting cousins at the Northern Water Tribe. I imagine he explained how he met Miku s mother. He met his third wife, Meili, in Ba Sing Se on business. His fourth, fifth, and sixth wives, Shu, Xhu, and Zhu, are identical triplets who grew up on a farm near the border of a Fire Nation territory. His seventh and eighth wives, Qingge and Xifeng, are from this community. I m 25 and I m the oldest child in the family. My mother also has Kaede, 24, Kenji, 23, twins Natsuki and Natsuko, 22, Akiko, 20, Keiko, 19, Kasem, 18, Umeko, 16, Tamiko, 15, Keitaro, 14, Kang dae, 12, Kenshin, 10, Naoki, 9, Kyoko, 8, Takeshi, 6, Yukio, 4, Kiyoshi, 3, and twins Aiko and Akio, 1. Miku, who is 15, is Mika s only child. Meili has Ah Cy, 24, Aroon, 21, Lin, 19, twins Ayame and Ayane, 17, Jiaying, 14, Meifeng, 11, Tuyen, 9, Chenglei, 7, Shihong, 5, Jia, 4, and Fenfang, 2.

Aang and Qudai were both very surprised as they looked at one another. "That is impressive," Qudai said as he looked more than a little overwhelmed. aang for the most part was trying to recognize everyone's names."Congrats on getting married, Yuichi," Aang told him with a smile. "I wish you and your bride a long and happy life," he added. Qudai nodded with the same sentiment. "Well, we're also here to help since we came by to check some stuff," Qudai noted.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Thank you. Yuichi said also smiling. I m hoping my older brothers can give me advice about being a good husband. You guys be nice to them, I have to go do some shopping. Miku explained. I ll be back in about an hour.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"Do you want us to take you back there?" Aang asked her as Appa was looking around of his area, curious about the whole place. "Well, being a good listener is always important," Qudai told Yuichi.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
No I can walk. Miku replies. It s not that far of a walk. Besides there s nowhere for uou to land, I d end having to jump from thirty feet up. She turned to her brother s and told them, Don t give them a hard time. We won t, Miku. Zian said.Daiki chuckled and said, Speak for yourself. Miku glared at him before walking away.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"If you're sure then. Be careful," Aang told her cheerfully as he saw her off before he turned to them. Qudai gave a bit of a glare to Daiki. "All right, so what do you guys need help with?" he said, a bit on guard as he looked at the place.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
I will. Miku responded with a smile. It s pretty simple, Yuichi said, We re just making a living room, kitchen, dining room, master bedroom, two bathrooms, a spare bedroom, and a nursery. Zian looked at his younger brother, and asked, Nursery? Looking to add a kid this fast? Daiki cleared his throat, saying, I believe he s implying they already are.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"Which one of you know how to Earthbend? I'm no bender and I figure Aang could get a brush on the basics," Qudai told them."Yeah. According to the monks, they told me that the Avatar's opposite element would usually be the hardest for them to master because of how differently they thought. I'm an Airbender so that means Earthbending will be the trickiest for me," Aang explained to them."I can at elast help on room structure and maybe design," Qudai added.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
I m a waterbender. Daiki said. Same. Kaede stated. Fire over here. Renshu said pointing to himself. Me too. Zhen added. And me. Tenshi said. Okay how about this, if you re an earthbender raise your hand. Yuichi said before raising his hand. This was followed by Kasem, Aroon, Zian, Zongmeng, Chongan, and Kenji raising their hands. Kenji, you don t even bend. Daiki said sternly. That s what you think. Replied Kenji. Okay, what do you bend? Kasem asked The wills of my enemies. Kenji stated proudly. What the hell does that even mean? Daiki asked.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"It probably means that he irritates people to get his way," Qudai said while Aang couldn't help but chuckle. "I'd appreciate it if you all could show me some basic movements while telling me what's it like," Aang told them.Meawhile, Momo was examining how the others were doing while Appa was sleeping.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aroon stepped forward, saying, To earthbend you have to be like the earth. You cannot compromise or give in because the earth does not compromise and it sure as hell doesn t give in. You must also understand that that means it will not compromise for you. Do not think that just because you can bend earth, that you should. I made that mistake and it cost me my left arm. Growing up with a waterbender as a mother, Kasem said, I watched her teach my siblings to bend and she always told them that water was an extension of them. However I learned that the earth is not an extension of myself, I am an extension of it.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aang listened to what Aroon said to him in regards to what he said. He was in thought. He wasn not stern or unyielding, to the air bender philsophy. He took a breath. Aang then got into position when he stepped back.He then gave the men a display of some imrpessive airbending."I am the Avatar. I was in a spot where I could do anything a century ago. Even then, I have to do this. Alot of people are counting on me to try and end this," Aang said in a more serious tone as he tried to stand firmer.Seeing the air bending movements also highlighted how different it was from Earthbending or really any other bending.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aroon watched and sighed, saying, You re not gonna have an easy time learning earthbending. That was extremely... graceful. He walked over to Aang and corrected his position. Earthbending involves sharp, powerful movements. You can t just prance around like you do with airbending, you have to be tough or it s not gonna work.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
" I do believe Aang noted that literally a few minutes ago. I think he also wanted to show you so you could get a feel of how he works and how it is to see Airbending," Qudai explained as he saw Aang try and get into position."Well, what are some of the basic movements?" Aang asked, curious to see if any one of them will earthbend.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aroon turned to Qudai and said, I tend to ignore people talking about their abilities, actions speak louder. He turned back to Aang, and I ve seen airbending before. He began showing Aang some basic stances.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"Yes, because drowning is the best way of knowing someone cannot swim rather than being informed that they cannot swim," Qudai told Aroon with a sardonic tone.Aang looked at Aroon go and do the stances. "That's pretty good. A bit stiff in the transistion, but that was amazing," Aang said with an excited yet also nostalgic tone before he went back to the earthbending pose to try and begin moving the earth.Qudai knew this would take a while due to how different the thinking was. Aang focused on his breath, to try and feel the earth.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
You throw someone who can t swim into the water and they will will to swim very quickly. Aroon answered. You need to calm down, Aroon. Daiki said.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Qudai's eyes narrowed over on Aroon in regards to the exchange. "You don't need to burn your hand to know fire is bad," Qudai said, noting the poor Fire prince learned that the hard way apparently."How am I doing so far?" Aang noted as he was practicing the movements, getting a bit better each time, but not yet in actually moving the earth just yet.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Aroon chose to ignore Qudai and focus his attention on Aang. Still too dainty, he stated bluntly, but it s an improvement. The more you work on it, the better you ll be and it may take years to fully grasp it.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Qudai crossed his arms as he looked at Aroon before going with the others. "Dainty? Do not underestimate air benders," Qudai noted before he went to see some of the others and see how they were doing."What's with Aroon? He has a chip on his shoulder," Qudai asked before Aang was getting into the position. "Don't hold it back, Aang. Stand your ground," he said encouragingly to his friend. Aang couldn't help but smile at his friend."Yeah, though hopefully I can get more help at Omashu," Aang ntoed as he got into position.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
I know what an air bender is capable of. Aroon said glaring at Qudai before returning his focus to Aang. He was always close to Mika, since they had the same birthday, and he was the one that let it slip that she was an airbender. Daiki explained in a low voice so Aroon couldn t hear. She truly was a second mother to him and he blames himself for what happened to her. He pushes himself more than he should because he wants to bring an end to the war that killed Mika. My guess is now that he knows that Miku isn t the last of the airbender race, he wants to protect Aang just as much as he does Miku and help him prepare.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"Yeah, but not an Airbending master. Those tattoos you see on Aang... only the masters get that," Qudai told Aroon with a proud smile.He was in thought to what Daiki said. He could understand what the dude was going through. Despite the two's currently bickering relationship, he could feel they weren't that different."Granted, we're luck the airbenders were all pacifists. I came up with some of ideas what airbending could potentially do and it was a little frightening," he said quietly.Aang kept going through motions of earth bending until he managed to bend a chunk of stone, a look of focus on his face. He was slowly getting the grasp of it.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
Yes but he s still a kid. A kid that will have to stand up against an entire nation s army. Daiki explained. Mothers Shu, Xhu, and Zhu are Fire Nation and they ve taught us not to underestimate them. Their father was a general and his stories of what the Fire Nation military is capable of is horrifying to say the least. He was kicked out when he refused to kill an entire village worth of women and children just to get information on a resistance group. Aroon watched Aang intensely ocassionally changing his position and posture.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
"One doesn't need to beat the army to win a war," Qudai said before he faced Aang. "We met the Prince, Zuko. He... he wasn't well. He had a big scar on his eye. According to Qudai, he heard it was from an Agni Kai with Ozai," Aang explained to them."I heard it from one of my former soldier buddies. Zuko opposed having the fresh recruits be meatshields in the war. He wad challlenged to a duel, but instead of the commander, it was Ozai," Qudai added as he was in some serious thought.
Two of a Kind (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)
You don t know the culture he grew up in. Daiki explained. No matter what Zulu was raised to lead his nation and it will be next to impossible for him to go against what he s been taught his entire life. I would know, my father is in line to be leader of this community when his father dies and as his oldest son who is also a polygamist, I am his heir. It s hard growing up like that but it s not like we know any different.
