Gohrune-City of Secrets

[razak]

Although technically part of the fire nation, in actuality Gohrune is one of the few "free" cities. No one cares what clan or nation you are from, just how skilled and rich you are.

Set on the tropical island Trafalger, in the middle of the Emereld Sea. The Govenor cares very little for politics. He and his soldiers act as very insfficent keepers of the peace. Bribery, extortion, and theft are all common place here.

The only real threat to lawbreakers are the Ru-Shi, a group of vigilantes hell bent on wiping crime from the island, through any means necassary. Their main opponents are the mercenaries guild, who's HQ is centered in Gohrune.

Gohrune is the city of theifs, were fortune and a slit throat are almost as likely to happen, tread carefully......

Vivtrieka crouched on top of a temple located in the center of Gohrune, trying to activate his eyes. He concentrated, molding and forcing chakra behind his eyes.

Sharper, Sharper, Sharper, black... Failure. After a few seconds when the tell-tale failure of blindness receded, Viv let himself fall backwards into rock face.

"Why must these eyes be uncooperative..."

With a sigh, Viv leaped off the temple, to the ground below, landing with roll, followed by sharp intakes of surprise, he got up and ran through the streets. Rushing past blurs that made up the people and shops of the city, Viv headed towards his temporary Sensei's house.

Hashran walked of the gangplank of the water nation ship, "The Great White", leading her large black horse, Jet onto the dock of her homecity, Gohrune. A small smile played around her lips as she thought "Its good to be home"!

When she realized the expression on her face, she resumed her normal aloof expression. Even so, she ran one hand through her hair in excitement. She hadn't been home in several months, Kulani had sent her and six others on a bodyguarding mission in the water nation. The scientist who she had been guarding was brilliant, but deranged, so the local autorities had tried to capture the man. Two of her comrades had been captured, and one was killed. Now though, the contract was ended, and Hashran was just glad to be home.

She stopped by a nearby stable and payed for Jet to be house and she slung her bags over her shoulder. As she turned and began to walk down the crowded street a man, no a teen she corrected, landed with a roll in front of her and sped off down the road, trenchcoat flowing behind him. She briefly thought about a race, so she could show him the MEANING of speed, but looking at him practically fly down the crowded street she thought he may actually win, and she hated to lose. So she just continued down the road.

Suddenly a hand grasped her shoulder, and she was spun into a alley. Three men were standing there grinning at her with a lecherous glint in their eyes. Hashran frowned in disgust at the sight of them.

"Hello there sweetie, me and the boys saw you comin' of the ship and we thought that we could give Ya a proper Gohrune greeting" the largest of the three said, leering.

Hashran smirked and settled into her favored defenive stance. She gestured with one finger, her meaning clear-bring it on!

"Ah, so the whore wants ta' play does she, alright boys lets make her bleed." and with that he drew a long, thin dagger and attacked her left shoulder with a downwords thrust. Hashran's smirk grew crueler as she grabbed his arm then kneed him in the stomach. He coughed and staggered back and the two other men, now wielding clubs, attacked-one high, one low. Hashran ducked under the first club and jumped over the second. As she fell she spoke "OK a**holes, this is gonna' hurt" and with that she landed in a split and punced upwards, her hands crackling with the fire she could generate at will. One of the men dropped cold as a flaming fist smacked into his chin, while the other fell back at a blow to the sternum.

With a snap, she jumped to her feet and launced a kick at the man back, smashing his head into a nearby wall, where he also fell, unconscious. Panic in his eyes, knife-guy turned and ran. "and then their was one"Hashran muttered with a smirk, and she flipped out one of her Kuni and threw it, where it buried itself in the mans lower back.

The large man coughed and hit the ground with a loud thump. Hashran strolled over and wrenched out her Kuni and slammed the guy into the wall, the wound was non-fatal. "Listen wiseguy, remember this, never cross me-NEVER-or I'll kick your ass so hard, this'll look like a slap on the wrist, and with that she strod out.

At the terrified look on his face, Hashran smirked "I am d**n Good!" she thought to herself cheerfully. She finally reached her home, a two-story wooden building, and she entered calling out for her housekeeper, Tina.

"Hello, Tina you here?" Hashran called out.

"Back here Emereld" Tina's strong, confident voice echoed from a back room, her training Dojo. "Hey Tina" she said entering the room "Guess what..happened...to...me" she trailed off as she saw the same young man standing in front of Tina, and they seemed to be in mid-exercise. You see, Tina was not really her housekeeper-that was just a front, she was in fact her sensai. Hashran stared at her red-headed sensai accusingly "Who the Hell is he, and what the hell is he doing in my house."

Tina stopped whatever exercise she was doing and turned to face her student. Despite her shortish stature and youthful face, Tina had been trained by some of the finest martial artists in the world. She had shoulder length red hair and tightly muscled, across one shoulder was a pouch of water she always carried, because she was also a skilled water bender.

"You think you are my only student, this is Viv" she gestured with a wide grin "and he will be your new partener for a while as a train you both"

Hashran looked between the silent man and her chuckling sensai and she could say "No Freakin' Way"
