Akusui stood on his skiff working the sail as he gazed toward the small island he was coming across. He was getting low on supplies so he would need to stop. He pulled on some ropes swinging the sail around and brought himself onto the coast was the incoming tide. The boat landed with a loud banging sound as small rocks and shells rubbed against the bottom of the boat.
Around him the beach was empty and peaceful. The sand looked clean and free of the junk that normally washed up from being near civilization. In the distance he could see a large tree line and at the center a large set of mountains. The sun beat down on his skin as he looked out onto the surroundings.
He wiped the sweat from his brow as he pulled out his map and tried to figure out where he ended up. He currently had Air Nomad cloths on from his last stop at the Southern Air Temple. He unrolled the map on the floor of the boat and pulled out a compass and began to pace out his trip. If his calculations were right, which he really hoped they were, he would be in Earth Kingdom waters so this would be an Earth Kingdom island.
He then pulled out the bag with a large Earth Kingdom symbol on it and slung it over his shoulder. He then took a nearly identical bag but with the Air Nomads symbol on it and slung it over his other shoulders. With his two bags in hand he jumped off his boat, looked around for anyone who may have heard his landing and started to go toward the brush a few yards away to change.
Once he got to where he thought he had cover and dropped the two bags to the ground and opened them both. He first took off the light yellow shirt and revealed his bronzed skin from many years out at sea and generally being outside. The muscles of his back rippled, slim yet toned as he did so. He folded the shirt up neatly and put it into the Air Nomad bag before taking an identical shirt, long and light from the Earth Kingdom bag, the only difference was that this one was green with brown trim.
Lastly he kicked off his sandals as he tried to take off his pants. This involved a lot of hopping and trying to find something to get a hand hold on to steady himself.
((And Pedobear says that this kid is wearing underwear ;P))

Sayuri laid at the village where her father was village chief. Naturally, she was Kyoshi warrior of another but she was visiting her family. Conveniently, she offered help to her sister warrior while she stayed. She was down a mountainous root in the outer limits of the village. She had her geisha-like makeup and headdress on. Her body was clad in an elegant dark green armored kimono. She had her metal fans tuck in the side of her belt. Her two katanas laid sheathed and her shield place on her wrist.
She had been sent to maintain an outlook on the beach line. Her deep emerald green eyes scanned the area until a loud bang came to her ears. She took quick long strides towards the sound, her steps were soft and quiet. She moved at rapid speed and arrived to a empty boat. She scanned the ground and came across footsteps and followed them. They continued on a few yards away and until she came to some cover.
She used the cover of the forestry to conceal herself while she continued in search of the outsider. She came to a stop when her emerald eyes came upon a male. He had sun kissed skin and quite the muscle built. Beside him were to bags one with the air nomad symbol and the other of the earth kingdom. She observed him as he changed finding a convenient time to strike.
He started taking off his pants only to dance around like a fool. Sayuri almost could not help but laugh though she held it together. When he wasn't looking Sayuri went to him giving him some leverage. "Need a hand, Outsider," Her strong voiced echoed.
(Lol)

Akusui nearly jumped out of his skin from fright. He jumped a good foot into the air before falling on his butt. He groaned in pain and blushed deeply as he noticed the women standing there.
“Oh I could say so many things to that but out of politeness of a pretty women I shall not.”
He glanced at the different bags he had showing as well as that he was currently wearing garb from two different nations. His eyes squinted slightly as his swore under his breath. This was one of the worst ways to be caught. If she caught him no less than two minutes previous he could say he was traveling to another Air Temple and be covered under the Air Nomads neutral treaty when in transit.
“Heh heh, by ‘outsider’ I hope you mean, ‘We welcome all outsiders with open arms’ Heh” he said laughing nervously pulling up his pants.

Sayuri laughed as she watched him fall to the ground, giving himself a good hit. For an outsider he was quite respectful though it did not make any difference. An outsider was an outsider, people were rarely allowed on Kyoshi island even if they were from the earth kingdom.
She watched him finish dressing himself before speaking. "No, we do not welcome outsiders to our island, not from any nation. You will come with me and we will see what the village chief would have to say of this," Sayuri's tone still strong but with a colder edge to her voice. Her emerald eyes remained on him while she offered to help him up. She hoped this would be over and done quickly without dramatic out turns.
This man was in fact lucky some Kyoshi Warriors would have not spared him a glance and thrown him in prison. Sayuri was in a generous mood so why not give him a chance with her father but knowing her father he would be placed in jail, anyway.

He took her arm and pulled himself upright before letting go. He glanced at the packs and wondered if he could get away. The chances weren’t great at the moment but if he got taken to a town they would be far far worse.
He let out a slow breath, gathering his chi as he chose his words carefully.
“I think that I will...run!” he said as he jumped sideways toward the bags grabbed them and letting them ride up toward his elbows.
As he sprinted and jumped over the brush and into the forest, he unpopped the corks on the gourds he carried. With the same downward motion of his hands he pulled water from the gourds and then swept his hands back upward as he turned the water into ice, sharp crescent blades to be exact.
His hands were now crossed over his head and he brought them together and down on his right side and the blades moved upward into the trees cutting branches down behind him as he ran forward. After he did that he slung the bags further up his arms and onto his shoulders to make them easier to carry.

Sayuri was caught off guard when the man flip over her to grab his bags. Sayuri gave a vexed growl before following after him. She was angry at herself for letting her guard down but it conveniently revealed to her he was a bender. She could use chi blocking to her advantage. She followed after him, taking out her metal fans and opening them, then started using them like extensions of her arms.
She followed him into the forest, moving her body gracefully and fluidly with rapid speed. He started cutting branches, only for her to seemingly dance her way through them. She manage to close some distance between him but decided to hide herself as she followed him. She needed to get close enough to him without being noticed. To have more of an advantage she went into the tree tops and began following him from there.
She made quick silent movements while she remained on his tail. Her fiery red curls bounced about with her floating like motions. She kept her narrowed green on the outsider. She would not allow him to escape, anyway, if she did not catch him another kyoshi warrior would.

He ran through the forest having no idea really where he was going. He really wished he could find some body of water since his gourds would not last him long. If he was near any body of water he would have put up a fog screen or mist screen or even a snow screen, something to give him cover.
As he ran he prayed that he remembered which way he came. He made a sharp turn to what he believed to be the way of the ocean. He couldn’t hear the waves over his own heartbeat and breath though. His sharp turn happened to be right though, he found himself on the coast of the island though is boat was nowhere in sight.
He again cursed under his breath at how far away his boat was. But at the moment he was more worried about the person who was chasing him. He paused and let out a centering breath. He put his arms at his sides and slowly rose them be straight at the shoulder. As he did so he took a profound step forward bending his most forward leg at the knee going into a sort of squat. When he did this a large fog bank rose from the sea behind him covering the area of about 10 yards in all direction.
He then let out another breath and waited, taking a few steps back until he could feel the sea at his feet as he waited for the red headed warrior.
