Moving from the carriage to a big ship, Genji looked at the people he brought with himself.
Aside from those who traveled in the sand carriage as him like Suki, Azula, and Toph, there were three other figures that came in another carriage.
Zuko, Mai, and Ty Lee.
Jin, Aang and Katara stayed behind at the earth kingdom's Earth Palace.
Jin was too young to come with them and Aang couldn't come with them according to the marshmallow spirit Bob.
In order to take care of these two, Katara had to stay behind.
Looking at the six people with him, Genji's eyes eventually landed on Zuko.
The ship had already set sail a couple of minutes ago and it will only take about five days to get to the North Pole from where they currently were.
With all that time, Genji was planning to train Zuko and Toph.
Maybe even plan for the worst just in case.
If Vaatu manages to free himself, Genji will have to do his best to take him down. Whether it takes his life or not, Genji wished to own up to his own mistake.
With a world that could quite possibly end in an instant because of his actions, Genji knew that the guilt will eat him up in the future.
Looking at Zuko, Genji figured out what he needed to do.
'I either teach him the spirituality of firebending or guide him to a different form of firebending that suits him…' thought Genji.
He only had a week and there was a limit to what Zuko could quite accomplish.
With that in mind, Genji could only help enlighten Zuko with the spirituality of Firebending since learning some moves will take too long.
Although Genji can't completely accomplish something similar like the various multicolored flames of the dragons like in the show, Genji could at least create three or four flames of different colors that could help enlighten Zuko.
The average flames (orange), the perfect flames (blue), and two flames Genji was experimenting with according to the Yin and Yang theoretical books he was reading.
A cold flame (ice blue) that could slowly freeze things and a healing flame (yellow).
It was a little odd knowing that he had created a healing flame after getting inspiration from the water healing. It was an attribute of the 'Yang' essence that Genji had discovered himself and he felt like he could slightly add it to other elements.
There was already a form of healing fire, but it was only something that healed the spirit and soul. Something which Genji hasn't had the luxury of learning yet.
He'd already learned Lightning generation and had already tried adding the healing attribute to it, producing something rather interesting.
It worked, but it was a painful healing that worked instantaneously.
The cold flame was something that Genji had come up with after completely removing the heat 'Yang' before adding the cold 'Yin'. It was difficult and the Fire would often explode in his hands, giving him burn marks.
Nothing a bit of healing couldn't fix.
With these four flames and their colors, Genji believed he could help Zuko figure something out. Even if that wasn't the case, Genji could just send him to the sun warriors.
It wasn't like he necessarily needed Zuko since he had Azula with him.
"Zuko," called out Genji as looked around.
"Yeah?" Zuko answered as he held Mai in his arms.
Genji only looked around for a minute before turning to look at Zuko with a smirk.
"Today, I will be training you," said Genji. He shook his head before smirking. "My bad, I meant 'enlightening you'.
Since your spiritual journey had come to an end prematurely, you have yet to find a way to recover your firebending ability."
"My spark is gone. It might be just like Uncle said and that I drew my strength from my anger," mentioned Zuko as he nodded to Genji's words.
"It is so," confirmed Genji as he walked up to Zuko. "And it's a commendable step for you Zuko. Something which deserves celebration. It's a shame that the current circumstances don't allow it."
"That's amazing Zuzu," chimed Azula, her voice sounding sarcastic even when she was truthful.
"Didn't know you cared, Azula," said Zuko, narrowing his eyes as he turned to his sister.
Just as Azula was about to say something, Genji stopped her and shook his head at her with a smile.
"That was a compliment from her," Genji told Zuko before moving on. "Come with me Zuko.
I will be helping you with your firebending."
"…"
Zuko didn't say anything and only looked around a little confused before following Genji. He wasn't sure whether Genji could help him, but he would try it.
"Huh? How is Genji going to…"
Ty Lee looked over at Genji and Zuko confused.
She turned to look at Azula and the rest as she began to wonder why a waterbender like Genji will be helping out Zuko who's a Firebender.
"I'm sure Genji will tell you why later," said Toph as she patted Ty Lee's back with a smirk on her face, gloating at the fact that she knew and Ty Lee didn't.
"Oh, okay…" said Ty Lee, feeling a little left out before turning to look at Mai who was also a little confused.
***
Walking into a metal room that was made to imprison earthbenders, Genji had Zuko sit down at the center of the room that was lit up by some candles.
"What are you planning to do?" asked Zuko as he looked at Genji.
Genji smiled mysteriously as he stood five feet in front of Zuko.
Rubbing his chin, Genji said, "Since your mentality has changed, that means that your current spiritual self is also slowly changing. Which means that your thoughts on Fire need to also change."
"My thoughts on fire?"
Zuko furrowed his eyebrows, confused as to what Genji meant.
"Yes!"
Genji smiled and nodded at Zuko's question.
"Bending isn't something that isn't only tied to the physical abilities and the mind, it's tied to your spiritual self.
Your spirituality is based on your view on the world and nature itself. If you believe Fire is only something that destroys, then that's all Fire will be.
It is also why your fire has always been weak since young. Not because of talent, but because your spiritual self is small. You've always felt small and incompetent compared to your father and sister," Genji explained as he lifted his right hand and let out a blue fire before lifting his hand and letting out an average fire. "Your sister always viewed the world as something that needed to be perfect, something which is demonstrated by her Fire."
"What does that mean?" asked Zuko, a little annoyed by how Genji described him.
"The stronger you feel spiritually and the better you view the world, the more you can do with your bending," said Genji as the Fire on his right hand split into two, one blue and one light blue.
It made Zuko tremble a little as the temperature in the room slowly began to feel cold before stopping at a certain point.
Then, Zuko watched as the orange flame in Genji's left hand split into two and created a yellow flame. Zuko felt heat from the yellow flame, but he didn't feel any discomfort near it.
Watching in awe, Zuko watched on in amazement as the flames left Genji's hands and slowly rotated around him.
His eyes followed the flames and Zuko felt the world around him suddenly submerge him in a beautiful spiral of flames.
Seeing Zuko sit there quietly, Genji smiled, glad that his little experiment worked.
His explanation on the spirituality of things was a little terrible, but it worked in the end.
The Avatar is a spiritual being that can't control his avatar abilities unless he develops spiritually. Same case for the airbenders who need to be in tune with their spiritual side in order to use their Airbending.
Which is why most Airbenders lost their airbending abilities since they no longer performed their spiritual practices in case of being discovered by the Fire Nation.
All benders are affected by this spirituality and their view on the world, some elements more than others.
Looking at Zuko, Genji could say that he himself had also begun to step into his spiritual side. Who knows, maybe he'll be able to attain 'flight' soon.
Since he already attained 'Immortality', Genji had already developed himself quite a lot spiritually.
If Genji had to say, he should be near the same level of spiritual attainment as Iroh.
As long as Genji continues on this spiritual enlightening path, he might become more spiritual as time goes on.
Exiting the room, Genji headed back up the deck and looked for Toph.
Looking around the deck, Genji only found Azula standing near the edge of the ship. Her back was straight and she looked off into the distance with a proud smirk on her face.
Approaching her with his own smile, Genji stood next to Azula quietly as he began to enjoy the slight breeze on his face.
"How is Zuzu?" asked Azulass as she turned to give Genji a side eye.
Genji smirked as he recalled his successful experiment, indirectly answering Azula's question.
"Hm."
Satisfied with Genji's smirk, Azula didn't ask any more as she got all her answers.
With that simple smirk, Azula knew that Zuko's training was going well. Not just that, but that he was going to be getting stronger from here on out.
"Good…" Azula said in such a glad tone.
"Hm? What are you doing, Azula?"
Whilst Genji looked far into the distance as the sun began to set, Genji managed to catch Azula slowly approaching him with a mischievous look on her face.
A devilish smile crept up on her face and her eyes twinkled at Genji's words.
"You've had me all excited this entire time ever since you told me those secrets on the carriage," said Azula as she placed her hand on Genji's chest.
"You naughty girl," said Genji as he felt Azula's hand gliding down to his pants.
Genji felt Azula's other hand creep up to his shoulder before slowly turning his head with her hand and bringing him over for a kiss.
Smirking, Genji let himself be led.
His eyes narrowed in amusement as Azula looked at him.
Their lips slowly touched and Genji could feel Azula wishing to speed up. She held back however, attempting to build up the pleasure.
Genji turned his body to Azula's and brought his right hand up to cup her cheek whilst his other hand cupped her butt cheek.
Azula's eyes lit up as she felt Genji's hands on her behind and she began to caress the bulge in his pants.
Her small mouth slowly opened and the instant it did, Genji's tongue appeared in her mouth.
"Mm…"
She closed her eyes in joy as she felt Genji's mouth enter her mouth. Azula enjoyed feeling her tongue rub up against Genji's as they hugged and bashed against each other within her mouth.
"You're quite feisty today…" whispered Genji between kisses.
"Mm…"
Azula sighed and stopped kissing Genji as she rested her head on his chest, her face filled with a red hue.
Looking at Azula, Genji couldn't help but tremble at the sight of Azula looking up at him with a face full of desire. It was like a primal instinct awoke in him as he looked at those droopy lust-filled eyes.
"Genji… give it to me," demanded Azula as she squeezed her hand lightly around Genji's member.
"Shit…" groaned Genji as he swiftly picked up Azula in a princess carry and took her to his room.
Whilst heading to their room, Azula didn't stop her advances as she continued to kiss Genji. Luckily for them both, Genji had his spirit sense which helped them get to his room without much problem.
Genji didn't stop moving either, he grabbed Azula's breast and began fondling it.
Click!
The door to Genji's room opened and when they entered, Genji made a beeline to the bed. He dropped Azula onto the bed before getting on top of her as he now began to fondle Azula with both his hands.
"Ahh… mmgh…"
Azula let out soft moans between kisses and before they both knew it, their upper bodies were completely naked.
"H-h-hey… guys…"
It was at that moment that Genji froze when he heard another voice in the room. His eyes darted straight to Azula's, and sure enough, her eyes were smiling in mischief.
